Page 3
Original estimates were $150,000 to complete the park. Staff obtained current estimates
for the playground equipment, bench, picnic table, installation of the equipment, and
concrete work totally $160,000.
This estimate does not include irrigation parts and installation, EWF playground mulch,
grass seed, park sign and tree planting. Staff is requesting the total budget be raised to
$190,000 to complete the project.
The current 2025-2029 CIP identifies $150,000 from Park Dedication Funds allocated for
the project. Staff would ask to increase this amount to $190,000 from Park Dedication
Funds to complete the new park at Fields of Winslow Cove East.
The Park & Recreation Commission is requested to discuss increasing the budget allocated
for the Fields of Winslow Cove East Park. If recommended, this item would go to the City
Council for final approval.
Commissioner Lindahl asked if this pricing is consistent. Mr. Baumunk stated it is
consistent, and the pricing is very good.
Commissioner Naughton asked if $190,000 will be sufficient to complete the park and Mr.
Baumunk stated it would be enough. A stronger curb will be used to hold the woodchips
in the playground area.
Commissioner Stenzel asked when this was adopted as a new park was the budget
increased for operation and maintenance. Mr. Baumunk stated it is a fairly small park and
will be an additional 30 minutes per week for maintenance. Staff tries to find ways to
decrease maintenance time in each park.
Motion by Commissioner Stenzel, seconded by Commissioner Shafto to recommend the
budget for the Fields of Winslow Cove East Park be increased from $150,000 to $190,000
from Park Dedication Funds. Motion carried on a 7-ayes, 0-nays, and 0-absent vote.

DATE: December 5, 2024
DISCUSSION
Doug Schultz/General Contractors of MN, Inc. has submitted a Planned Unit Development
(PUD) sketch for review. This is the first step in development of a PUD in Andover. The sketch
plan showing a 7-lot single-family development. The site is located at the southwest corner of
Bunker Lake Boulevard and Gladiola Street NW, just east of the boat landing on Crooked Lake.
The property falls within the shoreland district.
Currently the property is guided for a density of 4 to 8 units per acre. Due to the property being
in the shoreland overlay district the number of units allowed is 7.2 on this property. The
applicant is proposing 7 units. 7 units provide a net density of 3.65 units per acre. The applicant
would either have to reduce the acreage in some manner (i.e. conservation easement) to increase
density or request a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to reduce the density. Staff will continue
to have conversations with the applicant related to density.
The Park Dedication Study does not identify parkland dedication in this area of the City and
would recommend cash -in -lieu of land for park dedication requirements.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Park & Recreation Commission is requested to review the proposed development and
provide input related park dedication requirements.

Sketch Plan Narrative for Lakeview at Sloth Farm
City of Andover
1685 Crosstown Blvd NW
Andover, MN 55304
Introduction
This narrative outlines the proposed development of "Lakeview at Sloth Farm," a residential
project consisting of seven new patio homes at the corner of Bunker Lake Blvd and Gladiola St.
in Andover, Minnesota. This development aims to enhance the local housing market by
providing attractive, low -maintenance living options tailored for residents 55 and better.
Site Context
The site is currently zoned for residential use R4 but will require adjustments to accommodate
the unique characteristics of the patio home development. The site is 2.4 acres, this limited size
does not allow for achieving the Urban Residential Medium Low (URML) density rate of 4-8
units/acre. Lowering the width of each lot from 80' to 56' allows for more density while
preserving the open space on the West side of the property.
Development Overview
Type of Development: Lakeview at Sloth Farm will consist of seven single -story patio homes,
designed for energy efficiency and low -maintenance living. Each home will feature open floor
plans, private outdoor spaces, and accessibility features, catering to a wide range of residents.
Density and Layout: The proposed layout will require a Planned Unit Development (PUD). A
combination of landscaping and natural buffers will enhance the aesthetic appeal and provide
residents with a connection to the surrounding environment.
Zoning Changes
To move forward with this development, a PUD application will be submitted, as the project may
necessitate modifications to existing zoning regulations. Key considerations for the PUD
application include:
• Density Adjustments: We are looking to change the lot widths from 80' to 56'. We are
asking to have all lot sites at 14,000 SF overall. We have three lots that are riparian
which is a minimum of 15,000 SF and four lots that are non -riparian which is a minimum
of 11,400 SF. A Comprehensive Plan Amendment would allow for a slight increase in
density to accommodate the seven patio homes and adding open spaces.
Setback Variances: The design of the patio homes require adjustments to standard
setback requirements. We are proposing a reduced side setback from 6' to 5' on the
garage sides and along Bunker Lake Blvd reduced from 50' to 35' ensuring that homes
are positioned to maximize views of the natural landscape while maintaining privacy.
PUD Qualities and Design Characteristics
In compliance with the PUD qualities and design characteristics outlined in the City Code, the
following elements will be addressed in the application:
1. Integration with Surrounding Land Use: The development will be designed to blend
harmoniously with existing residential neighborhoods and the natural environment,
promoting community cohesion.
2. Setback Variances: The design of the patio homes may require adjustments to
standard setback requirements, ensuring that homes are positioned to maximize views
of the natural landscape while maintaining privacy.
3. Quality of Design: Each home will incorporate high -quality materials and architectural
features that reflect the character of the area. The homeowner Association will ensure
maintenance and use guidelines.
4. Open Space Preservation: The development will include common areas and
landscaped buffers, preserving the natural beauty of the site and providing spaces for
residents to gather and enjoy the outdoors. Existing trees will be preserved for screening
and privacy.
Conclusion
Lakeview at Sloth Farm represents an opportunity to add housing options while preserving the
area's natural beauty. By addressing the specific PUD qualities and design characteristics
required by the city, this development aims to create a vibrant, sustainable community that
meets the needs of current and future residents. We look forward to collaborating with city
officials and the community to bring this vision to fruition.
