Shoreland Management Ordinance Public Hearing Ordinance 40 & 40A Amendment ~ 01 AN DOVER REGULAR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 23, 1985 MINUTES The regularly scheduled Andover Planning and Zoning Commission meeting was called to order by Chairman Don Jacobson at 7:30 P.M., Tuesday, April 23,1985 at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard N.W., Andover, MN. Commissioners Present: Commissioners Absent: Also Present: Ape1; Bose11; Rogers; Ward; Spotts Jovanovich Jim Perry; Molly Comeau, DNR. Approval of Minutes April 9, 1985 MOTION by Spotts, seconded by Rogers to approve the minutes of April 9, 1985 as presented. Motion carried unanimously. Majestic Meadows Preliminary Plat Public Hearing, Cont; (Comm.'#1-85~4) Chairman Jacobson reopened the public hearing. Mr. Jacobson asked what the Park Board had decided in regard to the park dedication fee. Jim Perry noted that the only problem they had was whether they are going to charge him for the parcel noted as an exception. Mr. Perry also noted that he attended the Coon Creek Watershed Meeting and they only want the 100 foot easement along the creek; they are not interested in the drainage easement on Lots 4 and 6. He felt that his engineer put that drainage easement on the plat because of the flood plain. Commissioner Bose11 suggested that he simply change it to the 100 year flood plain rather than a drainage easement. Chairman Jacobson also noted that we have received a letter from the Anoka County Highway Department stating the right-of-way along Andover Boulevard is acceptable and that they would prefer not to have direct access to Andover Boulevard with only 200 feet of frontage, but if the City approves of it, they have no objections. Commissioner Bosel1 also suggested that when Mr. Perry receives a letter from the Watershed Board that he send a copy to City Hall for the file. Chairman Jacobson also noted that Lots 2 and 5 should front on 143rd Lane instead of Prairie Road. MOTION by Spotts, seconded by Rogers to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Apel, seconded by Rogers that the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council approval of the preliminary plat of Majestic Meadows being developed by James Perry, legally described as 'That part of the Southwest 1/4 of Section 25, Township 32, Range 24, Anoka County, Minnesota lying East of the East line of Prairie Road. Except that part described as follows: Beginning at a point on the North line of said Southwest 1/4 distant 216.14 feet West of the Northeast corner of said Southwest 1/4; thence West along Regular Planning CL ission ~ .ing April 23, 1985 - Minutes Page 2 (Majestic Meadows, Cont.) said North line of Prairie Road; thence South along said East line 550.00 feet South of the North line of said Southwest 1/4; thence East along said parallel line a distance of 563.23 feet, more or less, to a line drawn parallel with the East line of said Southwest 1/4 from the point of beginning; thence North parallel with said East line a distance of 550.00 feet to the point of beginning. Also except the South 313.30 feet thereof.' with a special notation that Lots 2 and 5 not exit onto Prairie Road but exit onto 143rd Lane. A letter has been received from the Anoka County Highway Department recommending that the city might want a service drive on Andover Boulevard but the Commission decided that was inappropriate. The plat is subject to the appropriate park dedication fees. Motion carried unanimously. This will go to the City Council on May 7, 1985. Ordinance 40 and 40A Amendment (Comm.#4~85-1) Chairman Jacobson noted that this item is a result of the lot split that was requested by Gordon Kohout. When Mr. Jacobson presented that item to the City Council he questioned the 2t acres and the Council suggested that it be taken out of the ordinance. It is the understanding of the Commission that in an unsewered area the minimum lot size will be 39,000 square feet with 165 feet of frontage. MOTION by Bosell, seconded by Rogers that the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council adoption of an amendment to Ordinance 40 and 40A as attached. Motion carried unanimously. This will go to the City Council on May 21, 1985. Shoreland Management Ordinance'PublicHearing (Comm.#2-85~1) Chairman Jacobson opened the public hearing. Molly Comeau, Department of Natural Resources - noted that they need some justification for some of the items in the ordinance such as lot size, etc. Chairman Jacobson stated that some of the areas identified in the ordinance are built up, with no lots remaining. In other areas, We exceed what the DNR is recommending. Ms. Comeau stated that some of the natural environment pond areas might eventually get sewer. Chairman Jacobson noted that they are outside of the sewered area and won't be served for many years. Chairman Jacobson stated that he didn't understand why the language dealing with sanitary facilities should be in the definition for boathouses. Commissioner Bosell felt that by putting that language in the definition, we would be offering the suggestion to the person coming in for a boathouse permit to do just that. Commissioner Spotts asked if the reason for this ordinance is to correct some problems, such as the situation on Lake Minnetonka. Ms. Comeau stated yes, that the lakes cannot handle all of that development. Regular Planning C, .ission~. .:ing April 23, 1985 - Minutes Page 3 (Shoreland Management Ordinance, Cont.) The next item of discussion was the section dealing with septic systems. The DNR is suggesting the a non-conforming system be eliminated within five years and the city's present ordinance only gives the person 30 days after notification. Commissioner Rogers asked what the DNR classifies as non-conforming. Ms. Comeau stated that is anything that fails or if someone adds onto their house and the system isn't large enough. Commissioner Ward questioned the wording in Section V, Sewage Treatment. Chairman Jacobson noted that this section would apply only to systems that have failed. Ms. Comeau noted that she will check to see what their definition of non-conforming is. Section IX, Notification should be changed to read "Proper notification of public hearings for variances, ordinance amendments, preliminary plats or a conditional use permit..." It was also suggested that the DNR's definition for water frontage be used in our ordinance. Chairman Jacobson noted that the shoreland section should be left in Ordinance 8 as there are other water bodies in the city that we would want to protect that are not covered in the Shoreland Management Ordinance. Commissioner Bosell suggested having a map prepared that would identify the wa,ter bodies identified in this ordinance and that the map be attached to the ordinance. Ms. Comeau also stated that there should be a land suitabiJ ity clause in the ordinance. It was decided that the wording from Ordinance 8, Section 4.33 D be added to Section VII of this ordinance. . MOTION by Spotts, seconded by Apel to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Spotts, seconded by Rogers that the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council adoption of the Shoreland Management Ordinance as attached, for the following reasons: 1) It follows the Department of Natural Resources' recommendations; 2) It is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan; 3) It will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the community. A public hearing was held with comments from Molly Comeau of the Department of Natural Resources. DISCUSSION: Chairman Bosell suggested that the Ordinances referenced in the Shoreland Management Ordinance be identified by name and number. Motion carried unanimously. This will go to the City Council on May 21,1985. MOTION by Spotts, seconded by Rogers to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 8:19 P.M. Respectfully submitted, LL'j/p Vicki Volk Commission Secretary
