REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - MAY 6, 1930
r'lINUTES
The Regular Bi-Month1y Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by
t1ayor Jerry Windschit1 on May 6, 1980, 7:30 p.m., at the Andover City Hall, 1685
Crosstown Boulevard NW, Anoka, Minnesota.
Councilmen present: Jacobson, Lachinski, Orttel, Peach
Councilmen absent: None
Also present: City Attorney, William G. Hawkins (arrived at 8:12); City
Engineer, Mark Schumacher; Planning and Zoning Chairman, d'Arcy
Bose11; City Clerk, P. K. Lindquist; and others
RES WENT FORUr1
Helen Franz, Ward Lake Drive - complained about the dust problem along Ward Lake
Dr1ve and was perturbed that the problem has not been alleviated in the past 11 years.
She felt that people that have invested in property should have the right to enjoy
their premises, but that there is no enjo~nent from spring to fall because of the
dust. She felt the large sod trucks, some out-state trucks, are the primary cause of
the problem and asked what is going to be done. She has been told that there is
special funding available from the State for the inter-state licensed trucks operating
On the City's roads. Discussion was that Class 5 would probably make the problem
worse, that calcium chloride would have to be on an on-going basis, and that there
are a lot of objections to oiling the roads. The Engineer was directed to check into
the costs of oiling that stretch of Ward Lake Drive north from the blacktop off
Crosstown to the corner, approximately 3/4 mile; that the possibility of funding for
the implementation of the Clean Air Act should be investigated; and that the funding
for inter-state licensed trucks operating over City roads also be researched.

C1ty Council meeting of May 6, 1980, with the addition of 6m, LMC Conference. t10t i on

PRELIMINARY PLAT - ANDOVER WEST
Mayor Windschit1 explained that there is a technical problem with the plat as it
doesn't show any parkland, which is required. The Preliminary Plat has to be
complete, even if the final is going to be partially filed. Therefore, the plat
must be returned to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
After discussion On the parkland, Council generally agreed that the Park Board
should be directed to consider accepting maximum parkland which would tie into the
Lake Ridge park to expand on a regional park in that area, as is proposed in the
master park plan. Planning Commission was also asked to review the placement of
the lots as it relates to the UPA easement to see if what is proposed is the best
use of the property.
Jevon Lieberg, Rogers - owns five acres on the north end of County Road 20, adjacent
to the property being platted. The 10-acre piece on the north side of the plat is
owned half by himself, the other half by Mr. Sanford. There is also a section of
about 20 acres along the south side of the plat in which he ownS a five-acre parcel
as well.
Dennis See1en, 4680 NW 147th Lane - stated the property on the south end is 300 feet
w1de, 660 feet deep all along 149th.
Mr. Lieberg - stated their objection is that the layout of the plat blocks those
pieces into being no smaller than five-acre lots, as under the current ordinances
they could not be split. The lots on the north cannot front onto Co. Rd. 20, which
makes it difficult to develop that property. Both of them would like to be able to
develop their lots into 2~-acre lots some day. Council discussion was that the lots
on the north have a potential of splitting to three lots if a cu1 de sac road was
built; that anybody who plats property absorbs the area that is taken by the road;
that future subdivision shows access through to their property line on the north; and
that the City cannot require the developer to consider those items outside of the
platting area.
Mr. Lieberg - stated they are asking that the plat take into consideration some of
the surrounding land. He also explained that they were before the Planning Commission
and voiced their objection and did meet with Mr. Berger, the developer; but Mr. Berger
was unwilling to make any other cOnsiderations. They are the buffer between this
plat and Lund's Round Lake Estates and have purchased the land from Programmed Land.
They are all individuals owning the five-acre lots along there. Mr. Lieberg felt it
is not in the best interests of Andover to have a row of five-acre lots between the
two developments. Chairman Bose11 explained the events of the public hearings on
the plat relative to the adjoining property owners' concerns. Mayor Windschitl noted
that the City cannot get involved with private matters between individuals but can deal
only with the ordinances and the logical connection of streets. Discussion was on
various alternatives to providing access for the 20 acres to the south of the plat
and that due to the size of the lots, no matter what is done, one lot or a portion
thereof will be lost to a road. Ms. Bosel1 noted that Mr. Berger's plan is to develop
152nd and south as his first phase.
Mr. See1en - stated they originally got together and bought the lots with the idea of
rUnn1ng a road along the north side of those lots when the development of Andover
West came through, with the idea of then subdiving into 2~-acre lots. But now the only
thing left for them is to drive cul de sacs up through the middle of the lots. All
oWners along that strip are committed to avoiding five-acre lots.
Attorney Hawkins arrived at this time.
Council looked at the logical connections of the streets in Andover West to that of
adjacent plats; that 155th and 152nd have the potential of tying into Lake Ridge.

(Preliminary Plat - Andover West, Continued)
Mr. Lieberg - Mr. Berger never really showed any interest in getting together with
them to d1SCUSS any alternatives to tie theirs into it. He stated they are very
flexible and willing to listen and discuss compensation or whatever.
Council discussion continued on possible road configurations. Council suggested that
Mr. Lieberg and Mr. See1en scale out a proposal for the Council's review.
MOTION by Peach, Seconded by Lachinski, that Andover West Preliminary Plat be
referred back to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Park Board for resolution
of the power line right of way question and parkland dedication. Discussion:
If adjoining property owners have some type of plan they want the City to consider,
it needs to take place at the next Planning Commission meeting. Council also felt
that they should not be accepting half-streets within the plat. Motion carried
unanimously.
Discussion continued on the parkland desired within the plat. Attorney Hawkins
advised that the City could take land now in lieu of cash to tie into the Lake
Ridge park, taking just enough land to cover 10 percent of the first portion to be
filed and taking the rest when the remainder of the plat is finalized if the developer
is willing to go along with that and the City is willing to accept land that is outside
the area that is gOing to be finally approved. Mayor Windschit1 suggested taking
whatever land is allowed from the filing of the first plat nOW and have an understanding
that the rest would come at the filing of the northern portion of the plat. It could
simply be a metes and bounds description.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded, that we direct the Park Commission to look at the
possibility of obtaining parkland in Andover West Block 7, Lots 1, 2, and 3; Block
4, Lots 1 and 2; Block 3, 6, 7, and 8, or any part or portion thereof. Motion
carried unanimously.
VARIANCE - CARLSON/BOULAIS
Theresa Bergland, 11446 Quinn Street, represented Oscar Carlson, as his real estate
agent. Chairman Bose11 reviewed the drawing before the Council as to the ¡portion of
land to be adjoined to create one larger lot.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Ortte1, approving a Variance to create a legal parcel
Spl1tting off additional footage from another parcel for A. Oscar Carlson and Keith
E. Boulais as printed with the change of the name from Lawrence B. Carlson throughout
the Resolution to the name of A. Oscar Carlson. (See Resolution R41-80) Motion
carried unanimously.
SPECIAL USE PERMIT - GERMUNDSEN
MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Jacobson, entering a Resolution denying the Special
Use Permit for Wayne Germundson to construct a double unit in Johnson's Oakmount
Terrace... (third paragraph from bottom, change from prepared copy to: WHEREAS,
the City Council has been informed that the Building Inspector did advise Mr.
Germundson that such Special Use may be allowed.) (See Resolution R42-80) Motian
carried unanimously.
PRELIMINARY PLAT - GOOD RIDGE ACRES
Chairman Bose11 stated that due to the mOney market, the developer has indicated he
would prefer not to do any more work on the preliminary plat until this fall. Because
the 60-day time period is up, the Planning Commission has not made a recommendation
on the plat.

Regular City Council Meeting
May 6, 1980 - Minutes
Page 4
(Preliminary Plat - Good Ridge Acres, Continued)
MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Peach, that the Plat of Good Ridge Acres be denied
on the basis of inactivity on the part of the developer regarding the plat.
Discussion: Council discussion was on denying the plat at this time or referring it
back to the Planning Commission. Attorney Hawkins knew that the public hearing by
the P & Z is still open. He noted that according to the Statute the Council shall
approve or disapprove the plat and the failure of the City Council to act on the
application within 60 days is deemed approval. He felt the Council should disapprove
it so there is no argument of delaying the developer. He recommended disapproving it on
the basis there isn't enough information, etc., and then send it back through the platting
procedure again waiving the platting fee. Discussion continued that in the future
just before the 60 days, if the plat is not completed, the P & Z should make a
recommendation for denial listing the reasons, unless the developer voluntarily waives
the 50-day requirement. Councilman Jacobson felt that it should be referred back
to the P & Z. Attorney Hawkins stated there has always been a question whether
referring back to the P & Z constitutes "action" and felt that just to be safe, the
Council should not be doing that any more. If the developer will waive the 60-day
requirement and allows the City to refer it back, Mr. Hawkins saw no problem with that.
Councilman Orttel ADDED TO MOTION: that filing fees for the reinstatement of this
plat shall be waived if the plat is refi1ed within 60 days from 5/6/80. (See
Resolution R43-80) Second still stands.
VOTE ON MOTION: YES-Lachinski, Orttel, Peach, Windschit1; NO-Jacobson
Motion carried.
LOT DIVISION - HUGHES
Concern was expressed as to whether the splitting of duplexes, etc.', should be
allowed; and if so, an ordinance should be written to provide for some control.
MOTION by Jacobson that we authorize the City Attorney to write a letter to Mr.
Hughes saying that the matter had been brought before the Council and it was the
feeling of the Council that such a splitting as he is requesting information on was
not looked upon with favor; however, this is an informal reply and if he feels he
wants to push the issue that he should send a legal document. Motion dies for lack of
a second.
Discussion: Mr. Hawkins understood that Mr. Hughes wants to split the lot down the
middle with the wall in the middle and that two separate parcels would be conveyed.
Further discussion was that was an informational request by Mr. Hughes; questioned the
seriousness of allowing this type of split because it may have a snowballing effect
in the City; and that if it is allowed, an ordinance needs to be drafted.
MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Lachinski, that Mr. Hughes be advised that the City is
in the process of developing an ordinance controlling the type of subdivision he has
inquired about and should, in the near future, have the ordinance developed to deal
with it. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION by Peach, Seconded by Orttel, that the City Council direct the Planning and
Zon1ng Commission to look into the feasibility of developing an ordinance controlling
the multiple ownership of dwellings. Motion carried unanimously.
EXTENSION OF FINAL PLAT - OAKWOOD ESTATES
Chairman Bose11 advised that the preliminary plat was approved on April 3, 1979. The
6-month time period for filing of the final plat has expired.
Recess at 9:10; reconvene at 9:20 p.m.
Regular City Council Meeting
May 6, 1980 - Minutes

(Extension of Final Plat - Oakwood Estates, Continued)
Attorney Hawkins advised that Section 11.01, Subdivision A of Ordinance 10, provides
that if the final is not filed within six months of approval of the preliminary plat,
the approval of the preliminary plat is considered void unless there has been a
request for extension in writing. Based on that Section, he felt the City could
consider the preliminary plat void and require the applicant to start over again.
MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Jacobson, that the City Council, City of Andover,
has considered the request by Keith Harstad on Oakwood Estates and at this time
considers the Preliminary Plat of Oakwood Estates would be void pursuant to Section
11.01 Subdivision A of Ordinance 10. (See Resolution R44-80) Motion carried
unanimous 1y.
PRELIMINARY PLAT - ROLLING CREEK TRAILS
James Merila, Merila-Hansen, Inc. - noted that Mr. Robert Mack is the owner of record
as the contract purchaser from the Colony Oil Company. Mr. Mack is also the owner of
the Colony Oil Company. The Monite Glue Company is a subdivision of the Colony Oil
Company.
Chairman Bose11 explained that the Planning Commission reviewed the plat, noting their
Minutes of April 22. The plat was sent to the City Council because it was within
the 60-day time frame. In the meantime, all nine items that were unfinished at
that date have been completed. Therefore, the plat is finished as far as the
Planning Commission is concerned with the exception of making a recommendation. Also,
TKDA has stated that all engineering matters are finished. The Park Board has made a
recommendation, and at the present time there is no parkland in the plat. The
Planning Commission was not to the point of noting variances, and, therefore, they have
no recommendation to the Council.
Council discussion was that in the past those areas that needed to be filled to meet
the minimum 39,000-square-foot requirement were shaded in the plat; that there are
soil borings of the peat showing the water table at the low area in the northwest
portion of the plat as approximately three feet below the surface; that on Lot 6,
the peat will have to be excavated and the lot filled to meet minimum basement
elevation of approxiamte1y 887 feet; and that the lowest contour in the swamp is 882.8.
Mayor Windschit1 questioned the lots proposed along the railroad tracks, feeling that
the lots had to run with the narrow side to the road; and expressing dismay about
putting the narrow side of the lots up against the railroad tracks so that the houses
will be so close to the tracks. He felt if those lots are necessary, a better place
to have them would be along the west side of the plat, not abutting the tracks. He
couldn't recall a plat ever coming in with a strip of narrow lots as is being proposed
here.
Dou1 Steele, 140th Lane NW - alluded to the landfill located on the corner of Crosstown
Bou evard and Andover Boulevard, with water draining toward this plat. He questioned
the water quality on this property when private wells will be used. He asked what
liability there is to the City by issuing building permits if the water quality is
unsuitable or if the City would be forced to put in drinking water. Mayor windschitl
stated that this same point has been made to the developers previously.
Mayor Windschit1 also strongly felt that there should be some parkland dedicated in
the plat, as there is no parkland in the city on that side of Andover Boulevard or
on that side of the railroad tracks.
Councilman Peach questioned Lot 6, Block 5, as to the average width, as the only place
the lot is 300 feet is at the setback line.
Regular City Council Meeting
May 6, 1980 - Minutes
Page 6
(Preliminary Plat - Rolling Creek Trails, Continued)
Chairman Bosel1 explained that the configuration of Lot 11 was to give that lot access
to the creek. Councilman Ortte1 also noted that No.6 in the legend of the plat
should state 875.
Erick Ve1em (attorney), practices law with Richard Sa1iterman - requested
that they address some of the issues raised by the Council.
Mr. Merila - stated they are aware that the westerly street would require a variance
because it is over 500 feet, which was discussed with the Planning Commission. It
was his recollection that that is the only variance needed on the plat. He stated the
narrow lots a10n9 the railroad tracks have not been brought up previously, and he
explained the reason those lots are set up that way is looking ahead to the logical
future subdivision layout to provide for the deep lots in that future subdivision.
There is 100 feet between the railroad tracks and the property line. By using this
cOnfiguration, they can provide from 220 to 260 feet from the railroad tracks with
the R-4 subdivision, which is larger than what most other cities are doing in R-4-type
densities. Lot 6 provides for 300 feet at the setback line, which is required by
ordinance; and the irregular configuration of the lot, again, provides for logical
future subdivision. The Planning Co~nission felt Lot 4 might require a variance because
of the size.
Council discussion was that without a recommendation from the P & Z, the Council has
little choice but to deny it unless the developers are willing to waive the 60-day
requirement and have it referred back to the Planning Commission; that the Council
should not be in the position of pointing out variances and providing reasons for
them; and that some on the Council were opposed to the plat with no land dedicated
for park.
Discussion continued with Mr. Meri1a and Mr. Lee Eckland relative to the park, with
the developers noting they have been before the Park Board three times with various
proposals and that cash in lieu of parkland was their recommendation, noting what they
felt was a problem getting direction from the City regarding the parkland, expressing
frustration in the procedure and difference of opinion between the Park Board and the
Council. Some on the Council felt an obligation to provide parkland for residents
in this area; that a reasonable portion of that park should be located along the creek,
suggesting the possibility of some portion in the southwest area of the plat; noting
various reasons why the Park Board made the recommendation they did, including rejecting
the parkland proposals from the developers because the land proposed was either unusable
swamp or virtually inexcessab1e to the residents; and that the ultimate decision on
park dedication is made by the Council.
Mayor Windschitl asked those representing the plat whether they want a Council
decision on the plat this evening or are they willing to grant a 3D-day extension for
reference back to the P & Z and Park Board.
Mr. Velem (attorney) - stated that they have operated in good faith with the Park
Board and Planning Commission. The recommendations from the Planning Commission
and Engineers this evening are that they have fully complied. They are hearing some
things for the first time tonight. The impression they are getting is that this
could go on ad infinitum, and that they may be back in the position where they can do
nothing else aside from litigate the issue, which, he stated, certainly isn't the
position they want to take.
Because the Council is having a joint meeting with the Park Board next week, it was
suggested the Council discuss this particular issue at that time to get it resolved.
It was also suggested that a special Park Board meeting be called for that evening
Regular City Council Meeting
May 6, 1980 - Minutes
Page 7
( Preliminary Plat, - Rolling Creek Trails, Continued)
to act on the matter. Chairman Bosell also noted that this item is on their May 13
Agenda, at which time they may be able to make a recommendation to the City Council.
Council agreed to waive the time required between the P & Z recommendation and
placement on a Council Agenda, and to put the item On the May 20 Regular City Council
Meeting Agenda in the event the P & Z make a recommendation at the May 13 meeting.
Mr. Ve1em (attorney) - agreed to the 30-day extension and will attempt to place
themselves On the Council's Agenda for May 20. Council directed the Clerk to
tentatively add this to the May 20 Agenda in the event the parkland is resolved and
Planning Commission makes a recommendation May 13.
Council discussion was on the alleged dumping which took place on that land in the
past and the potential for groundwater pollution; that to date no testing of the
water quality has been done; and that the testing should be done prior to any building
permits being issued.
Mr. Merila - stated there are wells on existing residences near the area, and it is
h1S understanding that the wells are going down 140 feet deep past a clay layer that
seals off the surface water.
Mr. Steele - stated his well is 160 feet deep. Only one other neighbor has a deep
well; all other neighbors have wells which are in the surface water at approximately
22 feet. There are several that are known to be contaminated. He also has heard
about the possibility of some dumping on the property. The developers will be required
to have the wells tested if they want FHA funding, and he felt it would behoove every-
body to have the drinking water tested.
Mr. Eckland - stated they have contracted Twin City Testing, who has tested the material
on the1r site and reported that the material is non-hazardous and is not a threat to
the ground water.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Lachinski, that with the cOncurrence of the developer
of Kolling Creek Trails who has agreed to a maximum 30-day extension of City Council
action on the preliminary plat, that the City Council send the preliminary plat of
Rolling Creek Trails back to the Planning and Zoning Commission to have the review
and action on the plat at their meeting on May 13, and, if possible, provide the
necessary information for the City Council on the preliminary plat at the Council's
next regularly scheduled meeting. Discussion: Council felt that both a shallow
water table sample should be taken on the site of the dumping within the plat and a
sample taken right across the creek from the landfill. Mr. Schumacher stated the only
potential for pollution in deep wells would be from infiltration of pOllutants from
the landfill. Part of the City's well testing in other areas should determine if
that material is leaching out into the water table. Mr. Schumacher was directed to
make a determination of where the water samples should be taken in the area. Council
agreed that the testing of water would be a contingency on the preliminary plat.
Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Peach, that the Council direct TKDA to operate under
the escrow ordinance with the developer to arrange for locations for water testing on
the proposed plat of Rolling Creek Trails Addition. Motion carried unanimously.
I HANSON BOULEVARD EXTENSION
Mr. Hawkins reported he is having a problem with easement acquisition for a 35-foot
strip from one individual; that he is meeting with several of the property owners
tomorrow to reach an agreement; that he will be working with the City Engineer as to
the possibility of moving the road easement; and that he will be able to have a more
complete report at another Council meeting.

JOINT POWERS AGREEI'1EIH 1133rd AVENUE NW
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, for a Joint Powers Agreement by and between
the Clty of Coon Rapids and City of Andover for the construction of 133rd Avenue NW -
Coon Rapids Project No. 79-24, as presented, with the insertion of the correct date,
May 6, in the appropriate spots. Motion carried unanimously.
Council discussion was on a street missed in the Gladiola Street Improvement project
located north of 135th Lane; questioning the width of easement there; and questioning
whether it is feasible to do this road.
MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Jacobson, that we authorize TKDA to prepare a
feasibility study for Eide1weiss Street north of 135th Lane. Discussion: The cost
of the feasibility should be minimal as it was done previously and that it should be
included in the Gladio1a Street project. John Ward indicated that drainage from that
street drains north-into his back yard. Mr. SChumàEe~þt~~S directed to research the
width of easement and whether or not the City has! . he easement prior to
determining if it should be improved. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Lachinski, to authorize the City Attorney to seek
quotes for bonding for improvements on Eide1weiss Street, Xavis and 138th Avenue to
determine what rate of interest would be required and any other matters pertaining
thereto. Motion carried unanimously.
HAZARDOUS WASTE COMMITTEE
Mayor Windschit1 recommended those persons listed be appointed to serve on the
Hazardous Waste Committee and that John Ward be made temporary Chairman of the Committee.

Committee consisting of the following members: Dr. Dan Janiga, Lyle Bradley, Doug
Steele, Mike Schollmeyer, Terri Fife, with John Ward as the temporary Chairman;
membership expiring 12/31/80. The Committee will be directed to evaluate the results
from the well and boring tests made through the County/City Agreement and to review,
report, and reco~nend any other matters pertaining to the hazardous waste problems in
Andover; that mileage will be reimbursed at the standard rate and any other out-of-
the pocket expenses needed for the functioning of the Committee would be reimbursed as
approved by the Chairman at his discretion. Motion carried unanimously.
NORTHWEST CONSULTANTS - CONTRACT
The Clerk reported that Exhibit A as noted in the contract is the same schedule as
in the previous document. Ms. Bosel1 stated she has talked with Mr. Licht today, who
in turn has talked with Metro Council. Apparently Metro Council has stated the City
can submit the Comprehensive Plan any time within the month of July.
MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Lachinski, that the City of Andover enter into a
contract for professional planning services with Northwest Associated Consultants,
Inc., for the sum of $250 for the purpose of completion of all required data of the
Comprehensive Development Plan to be completed by July 6, 1980, with the following

how it all fits together since he didn't have the entire Stipulation Agreement. There
is a meeting on Thursday morning with the County Attorney and the PCA Attorney to
discuss the Agreement.

VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT
Fire Chief Bob Palmer reported that he has been unable to find someone to repair the
brush tanker; and estimated it would be $500 to $600 to replace the transmission if
someone would donate the labor. He asked for some direction from the Council as to
the merits of repairing the brush tanker or if the purchase of a new vehicle should be
investigated. Chief Palmer explained that the brush tanker was intended to be a brush
vehicle but it cannot be used in the winter mOnths. The Department would like to see
a replacement pickup or pumper with 4-whee1 drive which could be used as a first-
response vehicle at any time.
Council discussed the alternatives available, noting the problem of financing any new
vehicle. Council generally felt that the brush tanker should be repaired. After some-
one is found to repair the truck, the Department should acquire the necessary parts.
Councilman Ortte1 stated he would also try to find someone to repair the truck.
MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Peach, to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously.
