I am uniquely suited to serve because I am a former member of the Planning and Zoning Commission. During my term, we created the first Comprehensive Plan for the City, mandated by law, and assisted by Otto Schmidt, one of the foremost planners in the State. He had worked Region 7 West and proved to be a far sighted, enlightened guide through the process. Our plan was very progressive and in compliance with Metropolitan Council policies intended to make the best use of the land and to slow the runaway, random development occurring at the time. We also prepared a financial capital improvement plan and began working on ordinances to drive the plans. I also served a four year term on the Andover City Council during which some of the most progressive, responsible growth was experienced in our community. The beginning of the business corridor along Bunker Lake Blvd., the development of the walking trails and MSAH roadways; good, plentiful parks and improved lot and road standards were all worked on while I was on the Council. The first municipal water and sewer projects were installed during that time. Subsequently, for 30 years I owned and operated a retail business in Anoka which grew to 5 times its size under my tutelage. Sometimes, I was able to provide input on projects which affected the downtown Anoka community. I served on several Anoka committees but was always careful to avoid any that would cause a conflict of interest. My tenure as a board member on the Anoka Area Chamber of Commerce and 30 year membership with that organization were helpful in improving the business community. I have always believed that the community is best served by paying singular attention not to one property or individual, but to the community as a whole. Exposure to both business law and municipal government operation has given me an understanding of policy and protocol, and insight into the multi faceted responsibilities of running a City. Also, my attendance at the recent WDE landfill public hearing reminded me that some of my earlier experiences have historical merit. I am very proud of the fine community Andover has become. As a citizen of 45 years Iam a beneficiary of the work of the dedicated people who have made positive contributions towards furthering the good foundation that was established in the beginning days. Improving and upholding ordinances, maintaining a Building Department that enforces compliance with the State Building Code, and the attention to creating a safe environment for all have shown that our .City is being run well and definitely deserves its repu tion as one of the finer communities in Minnesota. My thanks to all who have devoted time a d,e& for the betterment of the wonderful City of Andover. Mary C. Vander Laan ; Andover, MN 55304 �� Mayor and Council of the City of Andover, Attached are my application form, a letter I submitted with my original application to the, P & Z, and my resume. I believe it is procedure of the City Council to follow the performance of the Commission members by reviewing minutes, viewing the QCTV filming of the meetings and also occasionally checking in at a P & Z meeting. You will have seen that I have taken an active part in the meetings, showing prior research and often having physically visited the site under question. Many times my history of being involved in the earlier happenings in the city have been valuable in dealing with the current issue. Remaining courteous and attentive even while being challenged or criticized is mandatory for anyone serving in public positions and I believe that each member of our Commission, including myself, remains poised and attentive. These are exciting times for Andover and I would like to continue serving as a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission if you so choose to reassign me. Regards, Mary C.
