REGULAR CITY COUNCIL }ŒETIITG - JULY 18, 1978
HINUTES
The Rer,ular Bi-Honthly Heeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by
Hayor Jerry '!!indschi tl on July 18, 1978, 7:33 p."'., at the Andover City lIall, 1685
Crosstovm Boulev<J.rd IT,"!, Anoka t Hinnesota.

Residents Forum
~Tirn OlRon. Ib-?Rq TTnderCliff - has a continuing complaint about the roa.d ~aintena.nce
in the City. Today the grader moved piled up sand from 143rd to the sides of their
street, and nei~hbors had to shovel sand out of their driveway out into the street.
Road maintenance is one of the few areas that our taxes are used for that is visible to
the citizens, and Andover is probably doing the worst jOb of all. lie showed the Council
pictures of the proble", and said there is a birm of lose sand about three feet wide and
two feet deep along the street and there is no reason for that sand to be there. They
never had any problems on their street and would prefer the grader stay off the street
because every time he ~rades, the road is made worse. Mr. Olson felt we need some
criteria as to what a road grader should do, how they grade street, and what to do in
particular circumstances. Re felt the problem was a grader-operator problem and felt it
was not proper to put all the extra sand from 143rd on his street. Hayor 1'/inds chi tl
stated someone from the Road Improvement Com",ittee will investiGate the matter further.
Dick Schneider, 134'1 Andover Boulevard mv - didn't think there would be any more activity
on the B}cr track by the Lions Club until next spring, as it is r,etting late in the season
and it is difficult to get volunteer workers. If the enthusiasm is still there next
spring, further negotiations can be done then.
A~enda Ap"Droval
HOTION by VanderLaan, Seconded by Orttel, that the Council approve the Agenda as printed
with the followinr, changes: Delete Item 5i, Variance - Thad ITalters; Add Item 710,
Junkyard Licenses; Add Item 8e, Community School Report - lTancy ~ageman; and Add Item 9c,
Date for Meeting with Ron Roth. Discussion regarding the Thad ryalters Variance:
Attorney Babcock noted that there is no tir.¡e limit with respect to acting on a
Variance request. Motion carried unanimously.
Valley View Rstates - ~oad IMProvement
~IT. ~etzler stated he found the plans and specifications of the roads in conformance
with the Cor.¡prehensive Storm DrainaGe Plan, but noted tha t l69th Lane In'/ has a deep dip.
Theoretically in a lOO-year flood, the flood plane would flood the road by a couple feet
on a te~porary basis. He anticipated that any road damage would be Minimal if that
'would occur. As the pla t Vl3G originally approved with those road r,rades, he recommended
that they be r.¡aintained at such a grade. This is a cul-de-sac road that goes down and
back up a~ain Gervin8 only two or three houses. There is no other access to Get there.
If it flooòs, it would be to the low point before they would get to the homes. In talking
to Hr. Klenk's dosi[in enGineer, Hr. \'Tetzler reported that to raise the Grade of the road
would require a considerable a",ount of fill and would be econor.¡ically unfeasible to do so.
¡·:r. Wetzler didn't have the latest elevations, as this inforr.¡ation is taken from their
previous study.

(Valley View Estates - Road Improvement, Continued)
Attorney B::tbcock reported that even though the street grades were approved with the
Final and the anount of time that has passed, the City Council could still demand the
hir,her standards at this tiMG.
Hr. Klenk. develoner - reported that the water comes through the ditch through the culvert
between ~ounty Road 9 and County Road 58 which then flows to the Rum River. lIe believed
that was a private ditch. He has installed a culvert in 169th Lane that is the sa~e
canacity as under the County Road. In his knowledge of the property, it haG never
flooded. His engineer had no alterné1te solutions for this problem, and to raise the
~rade would just be too expensive as it would require too much additional fill and there
are only three lots that would have to cover the cost. He also mentioned that if the
r,rade would have to be raised, he would consider eliminating that road altogether.
11r. ~etzler stated there is 6 feet from the bottom of the ditch to the top of the road,
and in a lOa-year storm, it could possibly flood the road by as much as three feet for
about 50 feet alon~ the road. There is a very steep 7 percent gr::tde on the side slope
already which is maximum per City Ordinance; and if additional fill would be needed, the
side slopes would become steeper. Council discussion continued as to what would be
required to raise the grade in this road above the level of the lOO-year flood plane.
Errors to be corrected in the development contract are: Article 7, ..developer shall be
responsible for all costs of temporary relocation of public...; and on page 1, 7 th line
frOM the top: delete the phrase l7lst Avenue IIW. Attorney Babcock also noted the
Letter of Credit presented by Mr. Klen], this evening is not ~Titten correctly but could
be easily corrected. It must also 100 an irrevocable Letter of Credit.
!lOTION by VanderLaan, Seconded by l!cClure, that the City Council, City of Andover,
requests Ray Klenl~, the developer of Valloy View Estates, to consult with and obtain the
approval of the City Attorney in the redrafting of the Letter of Credit to its correct
for~ and the City Council also requests of the developer to have the st~eet Grade revised
in order to eliminate the flooding problem on l69th Ii:\ne with intentions to conformance
of the HUD lOa-year flood elevations. Discussion: was on ~hether the intent io to
authorize the }~yor and Clerk to sign the contract when these thinGs are done or whether
the entire matter should be brought before the Council again. It was agreed that the
Council should be J:ept informed as to what developments have talœn place.
Councilperson VanderI,aan ADDED TO HOTIOiT: that the City Council additionally authorizes
the Hayar and the Clerk to sign the Development Contract on receipt of a letter from the
City Attorney indicating that the Letter of Credit has been properly prepared and also a
Jetter from the City En{':ineer indicatinG th::tt ch::tnses have been made to the Grading plan
indicating that the flooding problem on l69th will be ::tlleviated. Second still stands.
Hotion carried unaniMously.
,g\1ni tary Sewer Ir1nrovemcnt _ Bnnker L'!\ke TIouleYGrd F.xtension
l!r. '.7ctzler reported that l·!r. Kas)'1a has discovered that the property to the north is not
yet ready to be developed. læ. KaSMQ'S recom~endation is that the Council authorize a
feasibility study for the Church only to extend sanitary sewer to investigate extending
the trunk line. Courrcil'o concern \'lo.S on the cost of exte!lding tho trunl;: line, who would
be assessed, the possibility of JUGt runnil'!..':': a laterial to the Church itself which ,'!Quld

nand IM"Drove~ent _ :renl::veld
Commission t;hairr;~G.n Lé:trry Retzlaff noted the Planning Commiasion revievled Nr. l1enkveld' G
request. t;urren tly under our Ordinances and policies, ì'le have no Guidelines for
Dcce~tinr, or rejecting R þro~osed location of a road. They ¿iocussed the desien chQracte~
ioticG briefly and clGrified that l,'lr. Nenkvcld now oyms tho 66-foot easotlent t';oinr; back
to the 40 acres in question. Tho Cocmission felt it was not detriDental to the City m
have a road in that area; but they., do have the aspoct of the cul-de-sac depth and the
turnnraund for a plow, as it is undesirable to have a 1320-foat lone cuI-dc-sac. The
houses that are built do have frontaf,c on l~ightengale; there are no homes built on the
lots that front that 66-foot easeDent.
Hr. Babcock tostified that in chocking the property in queation that Hr. T!enkveld doea
own the entire 40-acrc piece, which hD.S not been subdivided. Diacussion was that the
road would have to ~eet City Standards; the two lots that are over 5 acres along the
easODent would innediately become buildable if the road were accepted; and the l~-acre
lot does not meet the 60 percent require~ent, does not have a house on it, but is owned
by the people on the adjoining property. Hr. Retzlaff also stated that Hr. Henkveld
has assured the Cor.unission that only one house is going to be constructed on the 40...
Dcre parcel; and because of the nature of the land and because it has frontar,e for only
one lot, it will not be divided further.
HOTIOH by VanderLaan, Seconded by Orttel, introducing the following Resolution: A
~esolution approving the location for construction of a roadway ovor the south half of
the southwest quarter of the southeast quarter of Section 15, Range 24, TO\'lnship 32 ...
(See Resolution TI80-8) r·fotion carried unaniMously.
Snecial Use Per~it _ Pro~rar.1med Lands
'.'filliam Ides, G132 :Nicollet, represented Proc:rar:1Med Lands.
!~. Petzlaff stated the P & Z is recommendinß City Council approval of the Special Use
Pernit for MininG as the application TIas revie~ed to comyliance to the City's Ordinanc8a,
cOr.1.~atibility with surroundin~ land: uses, the final grade was sub~itted, the reT:1.oval
route ~as reviewed for traffic patterno, and there was no opposition at the Public Hearing.
(See June 27, 1978, rœMQ fro~ the Planning and Zonin~ Commission) 1';Oì'l there are no
people living irmediately around the area and this would be just another body of water
in the area.
I!ayor '.'Tindschitl stated it has been brought to his attention that any ti~e one disturbs
poat land, which is considered wetland, the D~'m requires a perr.1it be taken out. !!r. Idos
atated he had not investigated it but felt that th~'~pplied to so ~any feet within a body
of vIater. The Mining ope~ation would create a pond. The water level in the pond thia
year is about 2 feet dorm, but in a dry year it ~ight be 5 feet down. They VIould be
putting in gradual slopes to the deepest portion of the pond. The pond would be about
1300 feet fro~ the nearest point of standing water of Round Lake.
Concern was expresœ d that œ',m input regarding the operation is imperative, tha t the
Ci ty Enßineer has not revie~ed the Matter, and that it should be looked at in Greater
òepth regarding the flood plane, if it would affect the water level of the lake, the
truck route used, the volume of peat removed, etc.
W1TIOH by I~~chinski, Seconded by J:cClure, to direct the City staff to deterDine what the
reouirements of the D'ffi is relative to the Special Use PerDit requested by PrograDmed

It was determined that the interccptor is 50 feet from the property line of the
AsseMblies of God Church on the service road. Discussion was aGain on the best procedure
to follow. The ClcrI~ noted that the Public I~provement FinancinG ~olicy allows the
church to extend financing over 20 years on sanitary sewers. In order for the City to
finance it, the norMal procedures nust be followed as \'lith any other asseSSMent; hm'lev Dr ,

Variance - Clifford Cha~~an
l:ayor Windschtil stated in reGearchinr; the situation, he found the ?O\'lTI Board Hinutes of
Janw),!"y 9, 1973, specifically exe~pt the Chapman property from the requirement of
buildinG on every other lot; therefore, this would be an R3 ZoninG with no requirements
to build on overy other lot. COMmissioner Retzlaff requested that addition~l time be
to.ken for nr. Babcock to review those UinutcG and the actions tal;:en by the previous
To~~ Board to see if this ~aG an effective a~end~ent, because it is very undesirable
in the Plannine, COM~iGsion'8 opinion to have dense housing in thût area.
!!nTIO>T by I!cClure, Seconded by I.achinsld, that the Council refer the Clifford Chapman
Variance request to leGal counsel for ler,al opinion. Hotion carried unanimously.
11,ids - lJorth\'t()ods T~!1nis Court
\'tcs l7and, Chairman of the rar]~Recreation Commission, stated the bids came in higher than
expected and the Park Board has recommended rebidding the project with the electric~l
portion as a se~arûte bid. However, he has since been told that the bid can be accepted
as subðitted deleting the electrical ~ortion, which could be rebid at ~ later ti~e with
different specifications and whatever it takeo to get the bid ~ithin the budGet.
¡\ TIparently when l1idì'lest Plannin['; did the specifications, the lighting was proposed to be
the 8Ð.!":1e as at the City Hall site tennis court. ~~en TKDA did the specifications, they
specified a different kind of electric~l system which came in substantially hiGher. The
electrical for the City Eall tennia court waG approxiMately $6,E1oo.
(Reference TJCDA's letter of July 14, 1978, dealinG with lTorthwoods Par],) Hr. \'Ie tzler
stated the loner bidder, 111);[, ,"ould deduct 512,750 for eliminating the electrical portion
of the bid stating that the price bid for electrical was a total of 513,OOO,but !TDH
felt he had already invested the difference in negotiations, etc. with the electrical
contractor. \'Ie have until the end of 1979 to complete the court so there is time for
rcbiddinG the electrical.
Discussion wason the electrical portion of the contract, how or if the price could be
lowered, Qnd on the amount that 'TD~ is willing to eli~inate from the bid for electrical.
Jir.t Olson stated that contractors will typic~lly deduct less than total costs and felt
that this is not an unreasonable amount to bc eliminating from the original bid for
electrica.l.

Councilperson VéJ.nderL..1.D.n - Hy no vote reflects the records show in conjunction w'ith the
1975-1 sanitary sewer project that a recor.tDendatio~ was made by City Staff with input
from the school district to install a r.tore substantial, 10n~er sidewalk to solve a
safety probleM at the intersection. I am most concerned now that the Council nay not
be solvinG the problem sufficiently and that our expenditure and efforts will prove to
be seriously inadequate.
