CITY of ANDOVER
SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING - OCTOBER 4, 1977
MINUTES
A Special Closed Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by
Mayor .Jerry Windschitl on October 4, 1977, 6:40 P,M, at the Andover City Hall,
1685 Crosstown Boulevard Northwest for the purpose of discussing the pending
lawsuit filed by Horace Mayo and Charles Bankey covering matters relating to
Cedar Crest Fourth Addition (proposed).
Councilpersons present: Windschitl, Orttel, VanderLaan
Councilpersons absent: ' Lachinski, McClure (arrived 7:05 P,M,)
Also present: City Attorney, William G, Hawkins, City Litigating
Attorn~, John M. Burke, City Engineer, Rex Stockwell,
P&Z C airman, Larry Retzlaff, City Clerk, Pat Lindquist.
,.
Attorney Hawkins explained to the Council the reason that this meeting was being
held "behind closed doors", i. e" the entire meeting is devoted to discussing
litigation pending before District Court in Anoka County, He further noted that
this type of meeting was being held pursuant to a Minnesota Supreme Court
decision allowing closed meetings to discuss litigation, Attorney Hawkins
further informed the Council that he and Attorney Burke felt the need to review
the facts involved prior to proceeding for the following reasons:
1. It has been sometime since we focused on it,
2. There are three councilpersons that were not on the Town Board at the
time the plat was presented,
3, A settlement proposal was just reached on October 2, and he felt that
the Council had not had sufficient opportunity to review it,
4, The City should examine the concessions they would have to make as
opposed to the potential exposure under a settlement stipulation.
5. The attorneys wished to seek direction from the City Council,
Reference was made to the letter of September 27, 1977 from Attorneys Burke
and Hawkins t'! the City Council outlining the facts in the case. The date of
October 25, I ~72 on page 2 of the letter was corrected to 1973, All items
discus sed in the following minutes refer directly/indirectly to the above
referenced letter.
I
Mayor Windschitl questioned the reference to "Cedar Crest 5th Addition", noting
,
that he was not aware of such proposed subdivision, Attorney Burke presented a
map as prepar~d by D. Olson showing a fifth Addition lying directly north of the
Fourth Addition, It was further noted by Attorney Burke that originally the
entire Third, Fourth and Fifth Additions were presented as the Third Addition;
following the p~eliminary plat approval of the entire area, only Final approval
was given to the area on the west side now known as the Third Addition (the
remaining area was left in abeyance and ultimately labeled Fourth and Fifth
Additions, Th~ Fourth Addition was presented for Final approval in May, 1974,
Attorney Burke further noted that former Mayor Richard Schneider, then
Chairman of Town Board, had informed him that final approval was given at
this meeting; however, Marvin Christenson, Town Board Member and the
minutes of such meeting indicate that it was not,

Councilperson McClure arrived,
Other items in the letter culminating with the filing of the lawsuit were reviewed
by Attorney Burke. Caswell & Associates letter of December 11, 1973, referring
to the 66' roadway was discus sed. It was noted that all documents on file show
a 50' roadway. Attorney Stockwell commented that the referenced plans of
DeWayne Olson refer to 66' street sections (standards). Mayor Windschitl
noted that the wording in the above referenced letter refers to the Final Plat
and not Mr. Olson's plans and specifications. Further review indicated that
50' minor streets are required by Ordinance No. 10 which was in effect at that
time. Attorney Hawkins stated that in plats, the City does request 66' right-of_
way and the developers have complied throughout the years, however Ordinance
No. 10 does not require it.
City Clerk Lindquist questioned the Final Plat copy showing the surveyor's
signature under a date of October 15, 1974, noting that the Final Plat was filed
in May of that year. It was agreed that this did open some questions inasmuch
as the Surveyor always has signed the Final Plat prior to presentation to the
Council for approval; however due to the fact that the City does not have a copy
of the Final Plat showing a date of May, 1974 filing, it would have to be assumed
that in this case the Surveyor did sign the plat, contrary to procedure, after
presentation for approval,

The next item discussed was the park property, It was noted that Lot 8, Block 1
had been dedicated for the now recorded Third Addition, Records indicate that
the property is still in the ownership of "Mayban ",. ;11\lt;orney Hawkins advised
that the Quit Claim Deed could not be filed inasmuch as there were back taxes
due Dn the property. Attorney Hawkins referred to seeing an agreement showing
an additional $400 paid to the City as park dedication for the Third Addition
(Clerk's Note: the City has no record of receipt of such payment). It was noted
that Ordinanc~ No. 10 now requires 100/0 of land dedicated for parks, and the
proposed plat lonly includes 70/0. Attorney Hawkins pointed out that the court
1
would in all probability look to the Ordinance in effect at the time that the
original plat ';"as approved in the preliminary stage,
I
Attorney Hawkins stated that the City exposure was the greatest in the lititgation
as it address~d the park issue in regard to inverse condemnation, of which costs
could exceed $15,000, including 1) cost of land, åi1d 2) costs of attorneys and
appraisers fo~ both sides in the action, He also informed the Council that Attorney
Burke and he had proposed settlement primarily,'because of the high exposure
covering the Park area.
I
Discussed we~e the double frontage lots; it was noted by Engineer Stockwell that
,
if the roads were extended to eliminate this double frontage, the developer would
,
actually not lose any lots.
Attorney Hawkins noted that he felt that Andover could muster a good defense as
far as the continuation of the plat, however, this was not true of the charges covering
the park area.

It was pointed out that two persons listed in the action as defendents, former
Mayor Richard Schneider and possibly former Town Board/Council member,
Winslow Holasek, would not be friendly witnesses for the City. Mayor Windschitl
stated that he would like another meeting with the City Attorneys and all those
persons involved at some point in time with Cedar Crest Fourth Addition, Those
persons listed were Lyle Bradley, Marvin Christenson, Skip Rither, Richard Schneider,
and Wimlow Holasek.
The time factor relating to the up-coming moratorium was discussed, Attorney
Hawkins noted that the matter was being litigated under the Ordinance in effect
at the tiIne the lawsuit was commenced- for settlement purposes it was the
Ordinances in effect today; if there would be another moratorium, there would
not be a settlement and the cas e would be heard with the Judge s ruling controlling,
regardless of the moritorium, Attorney Burke stated that he would have to give
the Court an answer within two weeks which was almost up now. Councilperson Orttel
stated that he felt that the exposure was very great on the part of the City inasmuch
as the plat as proposed did meet the provisions of Ordinance No, 10 at the time
preliIninary approval was granted.
Mayor Windschitl stated that the residents in the adjoining area opposed the
development into the one -acre lots. Councilperson VanderLaan noted that the
residents did not have all the facts furnished to the Council and perhaps did
not realize the. possible exposure to the City,
Noting that this was a closed meeting, it was agreed that the motion setting
another ses sion should be handled at the Regular City Council Meeting.
I
MOTION by VanderLaan, seconded by McClure, to adjourn, Motion carried
unanimously. ,
