ROLLING CREEK TRAILS - PRELIMINARY PLAT
Mr. Schumacher stated there are no outstanding engineering questions on the plat.
Mr. Meri1a stated that $1500 an acre for the balance of the parkland dedication was
indicated at the Park/Recreation Commission meeting. It was also noted that at the
time of the filing of the final plat, the easements for the cross streets necessary
for future subdivision will be dedicated to the City.
Discussion was on Mr. Meri1a's concern with the water quality tests that the City is
requiring. Mayor Windschit1 stated that the ·matter has been turned over to the City
Engineer, but it was his feeling that samples would be taken of the ground water in
the area where the factory was located and in the area of the creek, and hopefully a
sample could also be obtained from an existing deep well from a neighboring resident.
He also noted that Twin City Testing has established a computer testing program for
the other water samples in the City.
MOTION by Peach, Seconded by Lachinski, introducing the following Resolution
approving the Preliminary Plat of Rolling Creek Trails as presented by Meri1a-Hansen
for Mr. Robert Mack, as presented by the City Clerk, with the following addition:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that final acceptance of the plat be contingent upon proof of
acceptable ground water quality provided by the developer. At the third from the
last line of the eighth WHEREAS: ..at a rate of $1,500 per acre for a total of $7,200.
(See Resolution R52-80) DISCUSSION: Mr. Merila was concerned that the water in the
creek would not be suitable for drinking purposes in itself and questioned if they
could show that there was acceptable deep water supply, if that would be acceptable
to the City. Mr. Meri1a was told that the City is concerned with possible soils
contamination at the location of the old factory; and if there is a problem with these
initial tests, then a more detailed analysis can be done to determine the extent of
the pollution and what steps may have to be taken to make the site buildable. If there
is no evidence of pollution in the initial tests, the City can be fairly confident
there will not be a water quality problem on that site. Motion carried unanimously.
DONALD PETERSON - VARIANCE
Mr. Peterson was present.
Regular City Council Meeting
May 20, 1980 - Minutes
Page 2
(Donald Peterson - Variance, Continued)
MOTION by Peach, Seconded by Orttel, entering a Resolution approving a Variance for
Donald Peterson to construct an accessory building on Parcel 4810 of Plat 65914 as
presented by the City Clerk. (See Resolution R53-80) Motion carried unanimously.
FINAL PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS - STREET IMPROVEMENT 1980-1
Mr. Schumacher reviewed the Final Plans and Specifications for the G1adiola/133rd
Avenue project. He stated that final plans for 138th and Xavis are not quite completed,
but they expect to have them completed on Friday. He anticipated advertisements for
bids would be published for the next two Fridays, bids to be opened on June 13, with
a report to the Council on the June 17 meeting. Mr. Schumacher then reviewed the
final plans with the Council, noting they are calling for very shallow cuts of five to
six inches, trying to maintain grade as much as possible.
Council discussion was also on the short stretch of Eide1weiss north of 135th; that
the Attorney's opinion was that the City has never accepted the easement; that the
Clerk has researched and found that the City has maintained that area for at least
seven years; questioned the width of the road that would be the City's and that there
probably wouldn't be room to construct a turnaround at the end; and questioned the
length of the area. Mr. Schumacher felt that if the Council ordered this to be done,
it could be added onto the contract as a change order. Mr. Schumacher was also
directed to make a determination of the width of the maintained portion of that street.
MOTION by Peach, Seconded by Lachinski, entering a Resolution directing the City Clerk
to prepare a Resolution accepting final plans and specifications for the construction
of bituminous streets for 138th Street, Xavis Street, Eidelweiss Street in the north
one-half of Section 33. Motion carried on a three Yes, one Abstain (Ortte1) vote.
MOTION by Peach, Seconded by Lachinski, that we reconsider the Resolution. Motion
carr1ed unanimously.
MOTION by Peach, Seconded by Lachinski, a Resolution to direct the City Clerk to
prepare a Resolution accepting Final Plans and Specifications for the construction of
bituminous streets on 138th Street, Xavis Street, Eide1weiss Street and the 1980-1
project streets; and direct the City Clerk to advertise for public bids to be opened
on June 13. (See Resolution R54-80)
VOTE ON MOTION: YES-Lachinski, Peach, Windschit1; PRESENT-Ortte1, as he is directly
affected by the project. Motion carried.
BOARD OF REVIEW
Gordy Starkey and Bob Weisbrech reviewed those properties that were re-appraised and
the reasons for thèir recommendations. On the question of the bui1dabi1ity of the
lots as noted at the May 15 Board of Review, Attorney Hawkins stated that the lots
are less than 60 percent of the size requirements, and therefore under the ordinance,
would not be buildable lots. At this point in time, under the City ordinance, if the
lots adjoin property of the same ownership, the owner has the capacity and would be
required to combine those lots to meet the 2~-acre requirement before they would be
buildable parcels. Mr. Starkey and Weisbrech then agreed that bare land values would
be applied in those instances.
MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Peach, to approve the following changes in the
Assessor's valuation of the following properties:
Plat 65914, Parcel 300: from $72,200 to $63,300 for net reduction of $8,900,
because of an error in the depreciation value.
Plat 65914, Parcel 30: which was valued at $4,500 and is to be changed to $500
for a net reduction of $4,000, because the parcel is unbui1dab1e and that due to
Regular City Council Meeting
May 20, 1980 - Minutes

(Board of Review, Continued)
(Motion by Lachinski, Seconded by Peach, Continued)
an oversight On the property owner's part, the property is being changed to
have homestead status.
Plat 65915, Parcel 4000: being changed from $5,200 to $1,200 for a net
reduction of $4,000, because the lot is unbui1dab1e due to size.
Plat 65915, Parcel 4500: value being changed from $4,900 to $1,000 for a
net reduction of $3,900, because the lot was unbui1dab1e due to size.
Plat 65915, Parcel 4100: is being changed from $63,600 to $59,900 for net
reduction of $3,700, as the Assessor felt the property was overvalued after
re-inspection.
Plat 66701, Parcel 190: value being changed from $73,600 to $69,600 for a net
reduction of $4,000, because Assessor felt the property was overvalued after
re-inspection of the property.
Plat 65914, Parcel 9150: value being changed from $70,900 to $43,100 for a net
reduction of $27,800, because the property is only at a 50 percent completion.
Plat 65927, Parcel 6420: property value being changed from $46,900 to $41,000
for net reduction of $5,900, because the property was overvalued as the condition
of the property warranted additional depreciation.
Plat 67809, Parcel 850: valuation being changed from $50,700 to $48,200 for
net reduction of $2,500, again because the condition of the property warranted
additional depreciation.
Plat 67200, Parcel 1600: was not changed in value as the property owner
cancelled the appointment for re-inspection.
Plat 69165, Parcel 170: property value being changed from $52,300 to $50,200
for a net reduction of $2,100, as where the square footage of the basement was
previously computed under the full house, Assessor found that part of it was
crawlspace and that another error had been found in that the part of the overhang
was being included too.
Plat 65933, Parcel 6280: valuation changing from $92,500 to $87,100 for a net
reduction of $5,400, Assessor found that after inspection that the property was
rated at a higher grade than the other homes in the neighborhood.
Motion carried unanimously.
141ST AVENUE REPAIRS
Mr. Davidson reported that there had been no settlement in the area following last
year's installation of the curb, and it is their opinion that it is repaired.
MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Lachinski, that the Council authorize payment to Forest
Lake Contracting for the completion of work on 141st Avenue in the amount of $4,526,
with the money to come from funds escrowed for this purpose with the remainder from
the 76-1 project account. Motion carried unanimously.
FEASIBILITY REPORT - SOUTHWEST AREA/SEWER, WATER, STREET IMPROVEMENTS
Engineer Davidson explained that the feasibility report before the Council is only
a draft form due to a delay in getting the hydrology analysis and stated the bound
copy in its entirety will be assembled and mailed to the Council tomorrow. He noted
that the costs for the various improvements are generally less than what were proposed
at the informational meeting.
Regular City Council Meeting
May 20, 1980 - Minutes
Page 4
(Feasibility Report - Southwest Area/Sewer, Water, Street Improvements, Continued)
Council discussion with the Engineers centered around the installation of a central
water system. Mr. Davidson explained that their proposal is that the entire cost of
the construction of the water system be assessed against the Good Value Homes property,
the 80 acres east and possibly the 80 acres west of Round Lake Boulevard. There is a
feeder-main capacity that will be available for future expansion. Their proposal is
that the direct lateral benefit be assessed on a front-foot basis up through the 8-
inch size and the oversizing of 12 inches would be assessed as a per-acre area charged
to that defined area, all within the Good Value Homes property. This would establish
the procedure to be used in the future as well. Because of the density of the Rademacher
development and the fire-fighting capability that may be needed in the system, they
are suggesting to include the 12-inch line at this time. The present proposal
estimates approximately $1,427 per lot for the watermain lateral, and that the 150 ga110n-
per-minute well, which will provide 500 gallons per minute fire flow, and pressure
pneumatic tank be paid off on the user charge basis of 90 cents per 1,000 gallons.
The estimated cost of $187,500 is for water production and pressure costs, estimating
the well to be 400 feet deep. He felt that the water system could be installed for
the average lot at a price that would be competitive with a private well system.
Discussion was on the area to which the water system could be expanded. Mr. Davidson
stated that the system is sufficient to handle the Good Value properties, along with
that of Carlson's, Ado1fson's, and Sonsteby's (west of Round Lake Boulevard), for an
interim period, depending on how quickly those undeveloped properties would be
developed. They feel the initial central system will serve. Good Value and Larry
Carlson. They may have to go to a larger size of supplemental pressure tank or possibly
elevated tank when starting to expand beyond the limits. Hydrologically, they can
expand it but there are some limitations. Mr. Davidson felt all those areas could be
served with domestic flow, but there may be a question of lesser pressure on the
extreme ends, and they won't have the 500 gallons a minute fire flow that there would
be in the shopping center area. But even there, a pump could be put at the end of
the line and draw the water through. Mr. Davidson also stated that the initial proposal
is to place the well and pump house in the southern portion of the Good Value plat right
behind the shopping center. They are looking at the well as being an integral part of
the total system, but it doesn't necessarily have to be located where the elevated
tank/central storage would be located in any future expansion. He also explained
that central storage can be located anywhere along the system. In accordance with
the overall system plan, they are providing the loop system of larger watermains that
can be used to feed into the system at any point. He felt a 12-inch line is a larger
watermain and is normally considered a feeder main. They generally try to space the
fire hydrants every 350 feet on each part of the system so there is fire-fighting
potential anywhere along the line.
Mr. Davidson stated they are not proposing any water treatment, and agreed that perhaps
there will be some long-term iron depsoits and buildups On the lines, but they will
not know for sure until the well is drilled and the quality of the water is determined.
Iron deposits wouldn't be a problem initially until the City went into chlorination.
At any point, they can go into the water treatment facility for iron removal and
shot-chlorinate the system to clear out the scales. He estimated it would cost approxi-
mately $140,000 for an iron removal system. He also stated that they see this system
as proposed as being the long-term central facility for the City, and it will meet ISO
requirements when a tower is constructed, possibly receiving some credit even initially.
Mr. Davidson stated that rather than having a back-up generator for the system, they
are thinking in terms of a power generator that would be mobile. Mayor Windschit1
questioned if it wouldn't be better to have a diesel-operated generator on line, so
that no power is lost in an emergency. Councilman Peach stated a mobile one would have
merit if it is needed elsewhere in an emergency situation.
Regular City Council Meeting
May 20, 1980 - Minutes
Page 5
(Feasibility Report - Southwest Area Improvements, Continued)
Council discussed at length the question of recovering the water production and
pressure costs through a user charge, a connection charge, or a combination of both;
discussed the question of the areas that would ultimately be served by a central
water system; and discussed the question of whether or not it should be required
to have developers utilize central water if it is available to them.
Council generally agreed to have a portion of costs for water production and pressure
costs recovered through either a connection charge or area assessment and a portion
through a water usage charge. It was felt that a more realistic water user charge
would be one-half of what is being proposed. The Engineers were directed to make a
recommendation as to how this would be divided. It was also suggested that the benefit
of central water to the commercial area is greater, which could be reflected in a
connection charge. The Engineers were directed to work out a formula for commercial
to pay for their share of the benefit. It was also noted that present City ordinances
require that city water be installed in multiple areas, such as that being proposed
by Mr. Carlson. Council generally agreed that, given the availability of a water
system, the position should be taken of requiring hooking up to the central water
system in all future developments on presently undeveloped land for the area within
the MUSA west of Coon Creek.
Mr. David~n stated they will provide the ability for Mr. Carlson to hook into the
water system when he chooses to do so; therefore, at this point, there is no need for
a feasibility study. A highway crossing will have to be put in for the connection,
which will be done either during this project or at the time Mr. Carlson would be
developing. The final plans are also to include a stub for possible hookup with
the Anoka water system.
MOTION by Lachinskithat we direct the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider
amending the Zoning Ordinance to require city water in areas of the City where
feasible. Motion dies for lack of a second.
MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Peach, that we direct the Planning and Zoning
Comm1ssion to consider amending the Zoning Ordinance to require city water in areas
of the City where available. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Lachinski, that we accept the Feasibility Report in the
Southwest Area Improvements and schedule a public hearing for June 9, 1980, 7:30 p.m.,
at the City Hall. (See Resolution R56-80) Motion carried unanimously.
MENKVELD GREEN ACRES PRELIMINARY PLAT
Jack Menkve1d agreed to an extension of 60 days for consideration on the Preliminary
Plat.
MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Peach, that the Preliminary Plat of Menkve1d's Green
Acres be referred back to the Planning and Zoning Commission for further consideration
because of the request of the developer, for a 60-day period. Motion carried
unanimously.
Recess at 9:32; reconvene at 9:41 p.m.
SOUTH COON CREEK DRIVE - FINAL PLANS
Mr. Schumacher reviewed the final plans and specifications for the surfacing of the
bridge. Council agreed that the trees in the right of way to the west of the bridge
that are blocking the vision around the curve should be allowed to be removed by residents
of the City who want the wood.
Regular City Council Meeting
May 20, 1980 - Minutes
Page 6
(South Coon Creek Drive - Final Plans, Continued)
MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Peach, that we approve Final Plans and Specs for South
Coon Creek Drive bridge approach construction with the deletion of the cost item
for removal of trees on the right of way, and set June 13 as the date as opening
bids for the project. (See Resolution R57-80) Motion carried unanimously.
DUST PROBLEM - WARD LAKE DRIVE
Mr. Schumacher reported that cost estimates for oiling 3/4 mile of Ward Lake Drive
were $3,000 from Allied Blacktop for prime oil, and $1,500 from H & S for clean-out
oil.
Discussion was on the problem of maintenance On oiled road, the potholes that occur,
etc.,; that the use of calcium chloride is costly, controls dust for only a very
short period of time, and would have to be done at least three times during the
summer; and that any form of dust control would also be asked for by residents in
other portions of the City. Discussion was also On the possibility of mixing the oil
with the sand, which would have to be done by a bituminous contractor and the cOncen-
tration of oil would be higher. Council felt the cost of this procedure should be
checked into. It was also felt that anything done for dust control on Ward Lake Drive
would be a test project; and until it proves itself one way or the other, no other
City streets would be done.
MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Peach, that we direct the Clerk to check with surrounding
cities as to what the costs are for oiling the streets in connection with mixing the
sand with the soil for dust control. Motion carried unanimously.
WELL TEST RESULTS
Discussion was on the May 8, 1980, Purge and Trap Analysis report of Twin City Testing
and Engineering Laboratory, Inc.; noting that it appears two wells in the area of the
Cecil Heidelberger property are a problem; questioned the City's authority and
responsibility relative to the wells where obvious contamination has appeared; and
noted that the owners of the two wells have been notified by the County.
Mayor Windschit1 also stated there are some wells remaining in the junkyard area
that were not tested and asked whether the City should test those as well. The EPA
grant is $40,000 initially, and they are concentrating on ground water and ground
contamination, not on the removal of the hazardous waste there. He also stated that
the PCA and County have been contacting recyclers with mobile labs obtaining proposals
to come on site to do separation of the chemicals, etc.
Council discussion was that the findings indicate the contaminiation is located in
the ground water in the immediate Heidelberger area with no indication that there
is any contamination outside of that area. The Hazardous Waste Committee is to
review the report and make a recommendation.
MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Ortte1, that we direct the City Clerk to prepare
a Resolution requesting Anoka County to test additional wells in close proximity to
the wells that have been found to be polluted from the Twin City Testing report
dated May 8, 1980. (See Resolution R58-80) Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION by Peach, Seconded by Ortte1, that the City Attorney be authorized to determine
the City's authority and responsibility with respect to polluted private wells in the
City and require the responsible party to take whatever action is necessary in
accordance with those findings, if required. Motion carried unanimously.
Regular City Council Meeting
May 20, 1980 - Minutes
Page 7
(Well Test Results, Continued)
It was suggested the Hazardous Waste Committee would map out where the water samples
were taken, try to determine what additional wells should be tested, and make
recommendations. The Mayor stated that Twin City Testing is recommending that they
do a further breakdown analysis on those wells that indicate contamination to determine
the specific chemical. To do one would be in the area of $300. This testing could be
held to see what EPA does.
MOTION by Peach, Seconded by Lachinski, that the County Health Department be requested
to forward to the City of Andover any and all communications relative to the pollution
problem. Motion carried unanimously.
The Clerk was also directed to foward the Twin City Testing report to the Environmental
Protection Agency.
HANSON BOULEVARD EASEMENT ACQUISITION
Attorney Hawkins reported that he has been unable to negotiate an agreement for the
acquisition of easement for the proposed extension of Hanson Boulevard with several
property owners. He has met with attorneys of Mr. Roth and Mr. Sorenson, who have
indicated they want the entire appraised value of $2,000 rather than the $1,000 an
acre the City is offering, the reduction being the result of the existing easements
across that property. Also, he has not been able to work out an agreement with Mr.
Vosika. In addition, he has not been able to contact the new owner of another parcel
to the north end of the right of way. It was his recommendation that the Council
resolve to begin condemnation procedures. Mr. Scherer did agree to the $1,000 an
acre for 1.52 acres; and Mr. Hawkins has told him if there is a basic increase in
price after negotiations with the remaining property owners, that he would be reimbursed
at the same rate.
Council felt that the value of $2,000 an acre for that property was not reasonable,
especially taking into account that they gain a road through property that is presently
inaccessible. The Engineers noted that all resolutions relative to the roadway system
have been submitted to the State and cautioned that funds not be expended until the
State has given approval. Council also suggested that because property owners along
this roadway would be receiving considerable benefit since the road would be making
land accessible and opening up a substantial area to potential commercial development,
that consideration be given to assessing for the roadway in this instance.
MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Ortte1, that we direct the City Attorney to initiate
condemnation procedures against all property owners along the Hanson Boulevard
Extension project with the exception of John Scherer. (See Resolution R59-80) Motion
carried unanimously.
RESOLUTION - FEE SCHEDULE
The Clerk reported that the reason the fee for Agricultural Buildings has been added
is so that the City is aware of when these buildings are being constructed, to make
the owner aware of the ordinance requirements to be adhered to, and so that the City
can have a record of when and where agricultural buildings are being constructed.
MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Lachinski, entering a Resolution Amending Resolution
No. 24-6, establishing permit fees and service charges to be collected by the City
of Andover. Note that the changes are Item, under Permit Fees, J, Agra Buildings,
$5; and under Services Charges, A, Special Assessments Search, $5; and under Item D
and E, increased to 20 cents per sheet for copies. (See Resolution R60-80) Motion
carried unanimously.

MEETING DATE - P & Z INTERVIEWS
It was agreed to continue to accept applications even though it will no longer be
advertised in the papers.
MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Peach, that we set Monday, the 23rd of June, for the date
to 1nterview applicants for the Planning and Zoning Commission. Motion carried
unanimously.
MEETING DATE - JOHN WEAVER
The Clerk was directed,:to invite Mr. Weaver to meet with the Council at the June 3,
1980, regular meeting.
PURCHASE / DUPLICATING MACHINE
The Clerk explained that the Xerox machine is renting for approximately $300 a month;
and Xerox has offered to sell the machine for $5,000 with the same guarantee as present,
which can be financed over 60 months at 8 percent. The total monthly estimated cost
for purchase price and maintenance agreement would be $187.82. The maintenance
contract itself would be $78.42. She has looked at purchasing other copiers and found
them to be more expensive. She did not have a preference of what to do, but noted that
Xerox is coming out with a big price increase in July.
Council discussion was that a more modern duplicating machine may be able to be rented
at a lower cost and questioned the wisdom of purchasing an out-dated machine. It was
suggested that the Crerk seek bids for the rental of different types of copiers.
ORDINANCE NO.8 AMENDMENT - SECTION 5.02
The change was initiated by the City Attorneytto bring the City ordinance into line
with the State requirements.
MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Peach, that the Ordinance 8G, an Ordinance Amending
Ord1nance 8 adopted October 21, 1970, and Ordinance 8A, adopted October 8, 1974,
known as the zoning ordinance of the City of Addover, be adopted as presented by the
Planning Commission with the one change of line 2 under Section A, the property owners
be changed to "persons"; also under Paragraph A, the first line, "property owners"
should be changed to "persons". Motion carried unanimously.
MISCELLANEOUS ENGINEERING MATTERS
Mr. Davidson explained he and the Mayor met with various Anoka County officials last
Friday. They discussed the County's proposed improvement of County Road 9, in
particular signalling the corner of Bunker Lake Boulevard and County Road 9 at an
estimated cost of $80,000. It is the County's policy to share that cost 50 percent
by the local municipality, 50 percent by the County. In this case, the City of Anoka
would also participate; their share being $10,000; Andover's share being $30,000.
The question of on-going power costs needs to be negotiated. The County has agreed to
let the City spread the MSAH costs over a two-year period.
Mr. Davidson also recommended that the City's share of the storm sewer costs be paid
for by the City to the County under a Joint Powers Agreement, but they would be made
part of the overall storm sewer system of the Southwest Area Improvemements project
and assessed as part of that cost.
If TKDA can provide the County with detailed plans of the sanitary sewer and watermain
crossings over County Road 9 within the next two weeks, the County will include it as
part of their bidding document for the improvement of County Road 9; and their
contractor will be totally responsible for the construction of those facilities.
Regular City Council Meeting

(Miscellaneous Engineering Matters, Continued)
MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Ortte1, to direct TKDA to prepare final grade
crossings for public utilities for the Southwest Area involving the Round Lake
Boulevard Improvement Project being accomplished by Anoka County. DISCUSSION:
Designs for sanitary sewer are based that the trunk line is ending at the 40 line at
Auditor's Sub. 82 and that water is not ending there but will be able to service that
whole area of undeveloped land some day. Discussion was also on the location of the
trunk sewer line being constructed through the Good Value property as proposed in the
Southwest Area Improvement project. Motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Peach requested that representatives from TKDA do a final inspection on
the Public .Services Building and to inspect the well, as there has been evidence
of excess levels of sand in the well.
MOTION by Peach, Seconded by Ortte1, that TKDA be authorized to inspect the well and
Public Service Building at a cost not to exceed $250. Motion carried unanimously.
COMMUNITY SCHOOL REPORT
