34 PUBLIC HEARING. Sketch Plan Review — Unaddressed Property 16xxx Ward Lake
35 Drive NW, PID#11-32-24-41-0003 — SW Wold Construction, Inc. (Applicant)
36
37 City Planner Hellegers stated that the Planning Commission is asked to review a sketch
38 plan for a single-family PUD residential development by SW Wold Construction hie. The
39 staff report for the proposed Sketch Plan was provided for Commission consideration.
40
41 The City received an application for a sketch plan showing a 21-lot single-family rural
42 residential on the site. The site is in the northeast quadrant of the community,
43 approximately three quarters of a mile north of the intersection of 161' Avenue NW and
44 Crosstown Boulevard NW. The site is bordered by the railroad tracks on the west side of
45 the site and Ward Lake Drive on the east side of the property. The Country Oaks North
46 residential development is just west of the railroad tracks and the homes from that mixed

1 urban/rural residential development back up to the development site. The site also abuts
2 the Deerwood Estates rural residential development along the southerly side of the
3 proposed development site.
4
5 Mr. Hellegers reviewed conformance with local and regional plans and ordinances. The
6 entire 33.7-acre site (11-32-24-41-0003) is located outside of the Metropolitan Urban
7 Service Area (MUSA) boundary. The property is guided in the 2018 Comprehensive Plan
8 as Rural Residential, a designation that calls for densities of 0.0 to 0.4 units per acre. The
9 proposed 21-lot development would exceed that standard with a density of 0.6 units per
10 acre. The proposed development includes deviations from City Codes that are proposed to
i l be addressed through the PUD process.
12
13 The site would have two access points; one at the south end of the development on
14 Sycamore Street, and the other at the northeastern portion of the development accessing
15 Ward Lake Drive. The proposed access points were identified on a map. Future
16 development to the north (not proposed) would provide another possible connection point
17 which also was shown on a map.
18
19 The subject property is zoned R-1 Single Family Rural and there is not a request to change
20 the zoning of the property. City Code requirements for the R-1 zoning district include a
21 minimum lot size of 2.5 acres and minimum lot width of 300 feet measured at the front
22 yard setback line. The applicant is proposing to have a range of lot sizes, some of which
23 would deviate from the R-1 standards with both lot size, lot width and depth. Comparable
24 single-family lot widths for these reduced size rural lots can be found at the north end of
25 the Country Oaks North development, located just west of the railroad tracks.
26
27 Each of the lots will be served by private well and septic systems. The sketch shows septic
28 drain field locations for each lot. The City Code requires two drain field locations with a
29 combined area totaling 5,000 square feet per lot.
30
31 There are a significant number of trees at the southeasterly portion of the site that the
32 developer is proposing to preserve as a wooded buffer between the development and the
33 existing residences to the south. As part of the PUD process, the applicant is required to
34 submit a tree protection plan showing trees to be preserved. This will be required during
35 the preliminary plat process.
36
37 The 2013 National Wetlands Inventory (NWI 2013) does not indicate wetlands on the
38 property. However, a wetland delineation will be required if the applicant continues to
39 move forward.
40
41 The developer is responsible to obtain all necessary permits (Minnesota Department of
42 Natural Resources, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, Lower Rum River Watershed
43 Management Organization, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and any other agency
44 that may have an interest in the site). Initial contact shall be made with the City
45 Engineering Department regarding this item.

2 Once the overall layout of the sketch has been agreed upon and direction provided, the
3 applicant will prepare a grading plan, hydrology calculations and a soils report that will be
4 reviewed by the City, an engineering consultant, and the Lower Rum River Watershed
5 Management Organization. The LRRWMO will need to review the preliminary plat and
6 the applicant will need to address any items.
7
8 The Andover Review Committee (ARC) conducted an initial review of the sketch plan
9 and has submitted their comments to the applicant. Staff suggests the comments be
to reviewed as part of the sketch plan process.
11
12 The current Master Park Plan does not identify parkland in this area. The applicant is
13 requesting a Planned Unit Development (PUD) as part of this development and flexibility
14 in the bulk area standards including size, dimension, and density. The proposed conceptual
15 PUD standards were reviewed.
16
17 Mr. Hellegers reviewed the City Code standards for PUD Review that the proposed
18 development would need to be addressed at the Preliminary Plat/PUD review stage. This
19 sketch plan requires a Preliminary Plat, Conditional Use Permit/Planned Unit
20 Development and Final Plat.
21
22 The sketch plan will be forwarded to the City Council for their feedback on August 7,
23 2024. Based on the feedback received throughout the sketch plan process, the developer
24 would modify the layout and make applications for Preliminary Plat, PUD and Final Plan
25 and submittals to seek their desired outcome.
26
27 The Planning Commission is asked to hold a public hearing this evening, take public
28 feedback on the proposed Sketch Plan/Concept PUD, and informally advise the applicant
29 through feedback on the proposed project. Attached for Planning Commission
30 consideration were the Location Map, City Staff Comments dated July 15, 2024, Public
31 Comments Received (None), Sketch PUD Narrative and Sketch Plan/PUD Concept Plan.
32 The City Council is expected to review this sketch plan at their scheduled meeting on
33 Wednesday, August 7, 2024.
34
35 Commissioner Shafto referred to the list of staff comments sent back to the applicant and
36 asked if the sketch plan was before or after receiving the comments. Mr. Hellegers stated
37 the sketch plan being reviewed is the one that the comments were based on.
38
39 Chair Godfrey opened the public hearing at 7:13 p.m.
40
41 Mr. Dean Marquette, 727 170t' Lane, presented a signed petition from the residents. They
42 are opposed to the PUD as presented with four points of concern. The concerns are zoning
43 and compliance, pedestrian and biking safety, road speed limit, road maintenance on Ward
44 Lake Drive, assessments, future development, lot sizes, adherence to the comprehensive
45 plan, overgrowth in rural areas, traffic impact, increased traffic, access to development,

1 2'/2 acre lot maximum. There are 17 signatures on the petition representing 13-14
2 residences.
3
4 Mr. Christopher Wik, 16683 Sycamore Street NW, stated he signed the petition. His
5 entrance onto Sycamore is very private and quiet. He does not see a reason for a through
6 street as there is an entrance from Ward Lake Drive. He suggested creating an entrance
7 from Ward Lake and having 2 cul-de-sacs. He has three small children. He wants lots to
8 be 2 '/2 acres. His other concern is there is an easement on his property. If the City is not
9 going to use that they should relinquish that in the future.
10
11 Ms. Rhonda Ganske, 2159 153`d Lane NW, stated if this is going to remain R-1 zoned
12 property these are large deviations from the City Code. Much smaller deviations have
13 been requested by private citizens and have not been granted. It is not fair they would be
14 approved for a developer. She does not see it necessary for the properties to blend with the
15 existing properties.
16
17 Mr. Jeff Sims, 16526 Sycamore Street NW, stated the purpose of the 2'/2 acre lots was to
18 support the septic systems. He wants to have the City research this.
19
20 Mr. Josh Delich, 17265 Ward Lake Drive, stated he was astonished when he heard what
21 was going on. He recently built a home in Andover. They followed all the requirements of
22 the City. They seem to be going backwards as to what previous residents were asked to
23 do. He asked what the future is of the dirt road. There are safety concerns. He has reported
24 speeds on the road to the Police Department. This will increase the flow and the amount of
25 traffic in the area. He wants to see 2%2 acre lots. Decisions are being made based on
26 economics rather than the safety of residents.
27
28 Ms. Erica Dahlin, 16825 Ward Lake Drive, stated she has lived there for over 30 years.
29 She agrees with everything that has been said. She does not see any green space, or a park
30 identified on the PUD. No drainage ponds either.
31
32 Ms. Laurel Schedin, 16642 Ward Lake Drive, stated she has lived in Andover for 40
33 years. She understands change is going to happen. She appreciates them leaving the trees.
34 She thinks it could be worse. She asked about the right-of-way to the south of this
35 development and the 167th Avenue easement.
36
37 Mr. Luke Sims, 16526 Sycamore Street NW, stated he has lived in Andover his whole life.
38 The concerns that parents have for their children, the children feel the same way. He has
39 never had to worry about safety concerns in his neighborhood. It would be sad to see the
4o neighborhood compromised with the development.
41
42 Ms. Kari Hefnider, 17011 Ward Lake Drive, stated they have lived there for 18 years.
43 They moved to Andover for the rural aspect. A precedent is being set which will be
44 detrimental to the area.

1 Mr. Craig Wensmann, Bogart, Pederson & Associates, 13076 1" Street in Becker,
2 representing the developer, stated he took notes during the resident comments. They
3 looked at Mr. Wold's request for developing the land and at the zoning map. He shared a
4 zoning map of the entire area and explained that they look at how the development will
5 affect the community. They focused on the rural residential areas and analyzed the
6 remaining undeveloped acreage. They looked at growth potential looking forward, noting
7 there is limited space available for the future. They wanted to be good stewards of the
8 remaining land and to minimize the impact to the adjacent landowners. He stated they
9 wanted to limit traffic on Ward Lake Drive, move houses as far away from the neighbors
10 as possible and to preserve the trees. With the general zoning, if working within the rules,
11 he noted they cannot control how these lots are built on. On a PUD, the City and
12 developer can determine where the growth occurs to preserve the natural elements. The
13 concept provided is slightly outdated. He stated the cul-de-sac was reduced in length and
14 driveways were eliminated on Ward Lake Drive. Storm water ponds were placed to
15 restrict homes to be too close to the neighbors.
16
17 Mr. Wensmann explained the second design they came up with makes more of a rural feel.
18 They will use more frequent rain gardens and storm water basins, the basins are scattered
19 to preserve the natural habitat, and the new concept shows .6 per acre. He noted that Ward
20 Lake Drive may need some maintenance but there will be more taxpayers to share the tax
21 burden for maintenance on the road. Twenty-one lots are proposed. It is difficult to fund
22 projects with aging roads. He explained the lots will generate approximately $5,000 per lot
23 for the City. $500,000 over ten years. The PUD flexibility will cover costs for the
24 infrastructure and help pay for road maintenance across the City. He noted that Sycamore
25 Street has the hammerhead style easement and could be vacated back to the property
26 owners. They are not opposed to a second cul-de-sac. He stated they do a lot of rural
27 developments and all 2% acre lots do not have 2'/2 acres of buildable area. This is a prime
28 piece of property where 100% of the land could support a septic system. He explained that
29 all open space is not developable, and rules and laws do change, and they need to be
30 forward looking.
31
32 Mr. Scott Wold, SW Wold Construction, 2260 221' Avenue NW in Oak Grove, stated
33 they were the developer of the adjacent property across the railroad tracks. They worked
34 with the same landowner and with the City to amend the Comprehensive Plan to push 150
35 units through the area. They want to do the same thing in the R-1 zoning, noting the
36 wildlife will remain. Mr. Wold stated this is a prime piece of land for development and the
37 best use of this property is to grow roofs. There is a big wetland off Ward Lake that cannot
38 be built on as it is a wetland. He stated one of the first plans was for 29 lots and they are
39 looking forward to working with the Andover Staff and Council.
40
41 Mr. Harry Haluptzok, 16971 Ward Lake Drive, stated he owns the 117 acres across from
42 this project. He suggested keeping the 2%z acre lots and adding a loop to the road.
43 Ms. Lauren Schedin, 16642 Ward Lake Drive, asked about the loop road and how would
44 the trees be preserved and be good stewards of the land. She asked how it would work
45 with the two cul-de-sacs. She is concerned about preserving the natural environment.

2 Community Development Director Janish said typically as developments occur there have
3 been temporary cul-de-sacs with the intentions for those roadways to connect in the future.
4 The Fire Department and emergency services like to pursue having multiple accesses to
5 developments for when there are issues and one of the accesses is blocked. A connection
6 at Sycamore provides another access for the development to the south as well as this
7 proposed development to have access for emergency services. Sycamore has been slated
8 as a temporary cul-de-sac with the intention that it would be connected as some time in the
9 future. The U-shaped road idea would deviate from that.
10
l i Commissioner Loehlein asked how 11 lots doubled and why there is so much more
12 density. Mr. Wensmann stated the difference is 300-foot lot width and 80-foot.
13 Commissioner Loehlein wondered why 20 lots are in the PUD. He sees both preservation
14 and increased density. Mr. Wensmann stated they want to be good stewards of the land
15 and reduce the tax burden.
16
17 Chair Godfrey closed the public hearing at 8:05 p.m.
18
19 Commissioner Shafto addressed why there is no park in this development, noting the Park
20 Commission is recommending cash in lieu of land. He thanked everyone for coming to the
21 meeting. He has some concerns about the density. He is not against using it as a PUD. He
22 is struggling with 21 houses. He does not see it as a transition because of the railroad. It
23 does not match the density on the other side of the railroad tracks.
24
25 Commissioner Loehlein stated he agrees with Commissioner Shafto's comments. He
26 encouraged the developer to listen and implement the comments heard this evening. If the
27 straight City Code were followed, the brownies approach from Mr. Wensmann's sketch,
28 that would be worse. This plan is better since it preserves the trees, but it is too dense.
29
30 Commissioner Hudson stated the way this is currently zoned it would be for 12-13 lots. If
31 lots were combined the developer could end up with 12-13 lots and still preserve the trees.
32 The density is too high. There is not a 1-acre lot anywhere in this area. There are too many
33 deviations from the Code in his opinion. The lots need to be bigger and there needs to be
34 less lots.
35
36 Commissioner Winge stated he would like to see 2'/2 acre lots.
37
38 Chair Godfrey stated she appreciates everyone coming to provide their feedback. She
39 thinks this is a little too dense, noting there are guidelines for a reason. She is concerned
4o about the number of variances. She looks forward to more specifics on the PUD. She
41 would like to see what is included in the PUD.
42
43 The City Council is expected to review this sketch plan at their scheduled meeting on
44 Wednesday, August 7, 2024.

1 PUBLIC HEARING: City Code Amendments — City Code II-3-6-B-2: Residential Lots
2 Lacking Municipal Sanitary Sewer — City of Andover.
3
4 Planning Intern Abigail Turner reviewed in administering the City Code, City staff
5 recently found an outdated requirement relative to residential lots lacking municipal
6 sanitary sewer which states: "The building pad shall be required to have a finished grade
7 of at least six feet above the seasonal high-water mark." Since the adoption of this City
8 Code requirement in the early 2000s, there have been changes to the floodplain and
9 groundwater regulations that make this requirement obsolete. Accordingly, the City of
to Andover Engineering Department is recommending that this requirement be deleted from
11 the City Code. As this City Code requirement has been outdated for some time, deleting it
12 will not create any substantial policy change. Attached for Commission consideration
13 were a draft Resolution of Approval and a draft Summary Ordinance for Publication.

SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Interim Use Permit (IUP) — Interim Performance Standards -
3160 162"d LN NW — PID# 16-32-24-23-0005 — Randy Ferguson (Applicant)
DATE: August 27, 2024
BACKGROUND
Interim performance standards are intended to establish an alternative level of site improvements
for properties located in the rural industrial area generally referred to as the Hughs/Westview
industrial park. The City acknowledges that the lack of municipal utilities limits the development
potential of these properties. Interim performance standards are intended to allow for continued
use, expansion, and redevelopment with a level of site improvement that is commensurate with
the development potential of properties in this area. Interim performance standards are reviewed
through an Interim Use Permit (IUP) application and if approved may continue until such time as
City sewer and water are extended into the area. At that time, any future expansion or
redevelopment of the affected properties shall be required to fully conform with the City Code.
DISCUSSION
The applicant is requesting interim performance standards for an expansion of their existing
gravel parking area and a new concrete parking area for their employees that would not have any
curbing. The lack of curbing v. providing curb, and the use of a gravel parking lot are the only
two deviations to the City Code being requested as part of this application. Along with their
request, the applicant is proposing to install additional landscaping and a chain link fence with
slating to further provide screening for the site. The applicant's narrative and map outlining their
request is attached for review. The City of Andover Engineering Department has reviewed the
request and is comfortable with what is being proposed.
Review Criteria
City Code 12-14-8-C-2 states that applications for interim performance standards shall be
reviewed based on the following review criteria:
a. Existing appearance of the building and site;
The site is located on the corner of Round Lake Blvd 1VW and 162nd LNNW. It is well
maintained with existing landscaping and a principal structure which meets City
Code requirements for architectural compatibility. To City staff's knowledge their
have not been any previous requests for interim performance standards at this
property.
b. Compatibility of the proposed site development plan with the other industrial
properties in the area;
There are a number of properties in the Hughs/Westview industrial park area that
have gravel parking areas and parking lots with no curbing. Proposed landscaping
and screening would also be similar to other properties in the area. The site
previously has had approval for a smaller gravel parking area, and the proposed
expansion is similar to others which already exist in the area.
c. Effect of the proposed use and the proposed site development plan on the adjacent
residential neighborhood, including traffic, noise, glare, buffers, and environmental
impacts.
City Code 12-15-8-D states that the Planning Commission shall recommend an interim use
permit and the Council shall issue such interim use permit only if it finds that such use at the
proposed location:
1. Will not create an excess burden on parks, streets, and other public facilities;
The proposed use will not create an excess burden on parks, streets, or other public
facilities.
2. Will not be injurious to the surrounding neighborhood or otherwise harm the public
health, safety, and general welfare;
The proposed use provides for additional landscaping and screening and is at a level
of site improvement commensurate with other industrial properties in the area. The
expansion of the gravel parking area and the use of no curbing is not anticipated to
be injurious to the surrounding neighborhood or to otherwise harm the public health,
safety, and general welfare.
3. Will not have a negative effect on values of property and scenic views;
City staffdo not anticipate the proposed use will have a negative effect on the values
of property or scenic views.
4. Will not impose additional unreasonable costs on the public;
City staff do not anticipate the proposed use will impose additional unreasonable
costs on the public. The applicant has indicated that if any gravel is trailed out of the
parking area into the street that it would promptly be cleaned. City staff also have a
history of working with property owners in the Hughs/Westview industrial park
regarding street sweeping due to the number of gravel parking lots in the area.
5. Will be subjected to, by agreement with the owner, any conditions that the City
Council has deemed appropriate for permission of the use, including a condition that
the owner may be required to provide an appropriate financial surety to cover the cost
of removing the interim use and any interim structures upon the expiration of the
interim use permit.
A draft resolution of approval with conditions is attached for review. City staff do not
recommend any financial surety for the proposed use.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Planning & Zoning Commission is requested to hold a public hearing on the IUP request and
make a recommendation to the City Council.

RE: City of Andover —Review #2 --- 3160 162nd Lane NW IUP
To Planning Commission and City Council.
Thank you for listening to our request. My Name is Randy Ferguson, I am the
President/Owner of All Vac Inc/AVI Services. All Vac is a regional vacuum
excavation company. I have been serving the Midwest for the past 17 years. I
bought the building in Andover in 2020.1 strive to keep a clean, appealing
corner lot that is not an eye sore. The lawn is mowed weekly, fertilized 5 times a
year, and the buildings are power washed annually. The company is a busy
building on Mondays and Fridays, typically with some Saturday work from time
to time. I also work with our neighbors to reduce/eliminate any impact our
company might have on them.
I am requesting that we be able to keep the gravel parking area for our heavy
use equipment and trailers. In addition, we would like to keep the concrete and
gravel areas with no curbing instead of having to install curbs. This would be in
line with the other properties/neighbors in the area. This would not take away
value from our property or the neighboring properties. If at any point there is
gravel brought into the street, it would be removed with our bobcat and swept
up.
I have made many improvements to the property since being in here 2020. The
parking lot was expanded for employee parking only. I removed the concrete
cell tower equipment room bunker to open the yard. I reduced the fenced -in
storage area. I added 40 feet of recycled gravel to the north of the existing
parking lot for truck and trailer parking. I rebuilt the sign on Round Lake
Boulevard and added light for the flagpole, added fuel tanks, repaired the front
siding due to storm damage, and added a streetlight in the back corner for
security.
The fuel tanks that I added are compliant with the City Code. They are 950-
gallon tanks.

In compliance with the city's request, I will add hedge/landscaping/screening
to the area facing 162nd Lane and Round Lake Blvd using a 6-foot chain link
fence with PVC slats. On the outside of the fence, I will do 2 staggered rows of
evergreen trees. With trees in each row staggered with a maximum of 12 feet.
Regarding the parking lot, we will comply with all parking requirements for the
south end of the parking lot including the white painted stripes; not less than 4
inches wide. The first parking stall when coming in is 30 feet from the right-of-way
and the area will be striped accordingly, 10x18. The parking stalls are reflected
din yellow on the scaled drawing. I will provide an accessible space so there will
be an access aisle on the north side of the handicap parking space. This is
reflected on the scaled drawing in blue.
We will work on getting the installation of the hedging/landscaping/fencing by
October 15, 2024. The parking lot stripping will be completed by September 30th,
2024.

Randy Ferguson
