co PI ES TO: ATTORNEY. STAFF
FROM: CITY CLERK/A. ADM.
DA TE: SEPTEMBER 16. 1982
REFERENCE: AGENDA INFORMATION - SEPTEMBER 21, 1982
Item No. 3 - Agenda Approval
Please delete Item No. Sh - Extension/Lakeside Estates.
Item No. 4 - Continued Hearing/Commercial Auto Parts Appeal
The property will be visually checked on September 20/21 for compliance
with all the items as shown in the revocation notice. I will have a
complete report ready for the meeting.
Item No. Sa - Trees/Anoka Auto Wrecking
The Junkyard License for Anoka Auto Wrecking was approved in January for
the 1982 Year; and included a comment that all yards would be inspected
on May 1, 1982 for establish compliance with the ordinance. You did
inspect the yards, however, no action or comments were made on Anoka
Auto Wrecking because of the Special Use Permit for the Used Car Sales
Lot impacting some of the provisions of Ordinance No. 44 covered by
the Council on May 1. At the September 7 Meeting, the Council approved
the Sales Lot and noted that it would not be reasonable to require the
tree planting in front of the display area. The Building Inspector and
Engineer are agreeable to allowing the display area to be covered with
the asphalt strips in lieu of blacktop. It is my understanding that
the actual customer parking lot will be hard surfaced, i.e. , blacktop.
Item No. Sb - Mining Permit/Forest Lake Contracting
Attached is a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission
for approval of the Permit. The request has been reviewed by the
Engineer for compliance; his comments are attached. Forest Lake
Contracting is the firm awarded the MSA Contract.
Item No. Sc - Wm. Rademacher Special Use Permit/Gas Pumps
A request for an amended Special Use Permit is being made to allow
the installation of additional pumps at the Shopping Center (Bill's
Superette) . The original permit was approved in October, 1980, and
allowed for three pumps; the new request is for an additional three,
plus the underground storage tank. Distances from lot lines are
sufficiently met. Approval is recommended.

Item No. Sd - Review Special Use Permits
J&J Liquors
We have received no complaints on the operation; it is recommended
that the SUP be renewed.
Bonneville Beauty Shop
No complaints have been received on the operation or traffic; renewal
is recommended.
Item NO. Se - Special Road Projects
Attached is a memorandum from the City Engineer covering various
projects recommended to be done in 1982. Estimated costs are shown.
Item No. Sf - Enterprise Fund Budget
The Bond Resolution has been reviewed; it does not have any language
to the effect that the "connection charges" must be placed into the
fund as received. I have contacted some other cities with new water
funds and have found that none of them are self-supporting the first
two or three years. Money is loaned, usually from the General Fund,
to pay the operating costs until such time as the Water Fund becomes
revenue producing. I would not feel comfortable in "projecting" a
time when the fund will become self-supporting, inasmuch, as building
has been so erratic with interest rates such as they are. The original
projections were that the Good Value area would be completely filled in
two years. (the two years have gone and it is not even half filled at
this time) . As was pointed out in my last memo, repayment of a flat
fee of $12,000 per year would satisfy the debt as needed and would give
us a base on which to control rates for service.
Item No. Sg - Capital Improvements Program
This is continued from several previous meetings.
Item No. Sh - Extension/Lakeside Estates
Delete
Item No. Si - Appointment to Waste Management Committee
Metropolitan Council is requesting members from the various communities
to serve-on a Waste Management Board. The Council should appoint
someone as soon as possible as they are already starting to meet.
Item No. Sj- Community Center Park Plan
Bids have been opened for the work on the two ballfields. Attached is
a memoradum from Jim Schrantz. He will be meeting with the Park Board
this evening, so he will have their comments.
Item No. 6a - Probationary Increase/Clinton
Please see attached memorandum covering the recommendation on
Mrs. Clinton.

Item No. 6b - Preparation of Assessment Roll (Project 82-7)
Inasmuch as a Bond Sale will not be required for the costs of this
project, it will be necessary to adopt a resolution ordering preparation
of the assessment roll. The actual Assessment Hearing must be set on
October 5 for a date prior to October 29, thereby giving use the time
required to send out notices, etc. pursuant to Chapter 429.

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - SEPTEMBER 21, 1982
MINUTES
The Regular Bi-Monthly Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by
Mayor Jerry Windschitl on September 21, 1982, 7:30 p.m., at the Andover'City Hall,
1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Anoka, Minnesota.
Councilmen present: Jacobson, Lachinski, Orttel, Peach (absent from 7:45 to 8:18 p.m.)
Councilmen absent: None
Also present: City Engineer, James Schrantz; City Clerk, P. K. Lindquist;
and others
AGENDA APPROVAL
MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Jacobson, that we approve the Agenda as published
wlth the following changes: the deletion of Item Sh, Lakeside Estates - Extension/
Final Plat; and the addition under Item 7, Mayor's Report.
VOTE ON MOT! ON: YES-Jacobosn, Lachinski, Orttel, Peach; PRESENT-Windschitl
Motion carried.
MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Jacobson, to suspend the rules. Motion carried
unanimous ly.
CONTINUED HEARING/COMMERCIAL AUTO PARTS APPEAL
Attorney Irving Shaw, representing Charles Mistelski -'presented the Council with
pictures showlng all the work that has been completed. The only thing not done is
the placement of the slats in the gate, which will take about an hour and will be
done tomorrow.
MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Orttel, to repeal the revocation of the junkyard
license for Commercial Auto Parts acknowledging that the irregular height of fence
along the front has been corrected, that the junk and repairable vehicles stored
outside the fence have been corrected, and that the trees not planted in accordance
with Ordinance 44F have now been planted. Motion carried unanimously.
TREES/ANOKA AUTO WRECKING
Mrs. Calvin Jellison - explained the agreement reached with the Building Official to
place Class 5 this fall and blacktop next spring the areas for the Bunker Lake Auto
Sales. There are no plans at this time for the parking lot used for the junkyard
business.
It was noted the discussion this evening pertains only to the junkyard license. The
issues brought out were the planting of trees along the front portion of the junkyard,
the surfacing of the parking lot, and the extension of the fence on the east side so
junk cannot be seen from the new Hanson Boulevard Extension.
Mrs. Jellison - stated fill is being put in on the east side, and the fence will be
completed to the trees so junk will not be seen from Hanson Boulevard. She stated
when discussing surfacing for the parking lot with the Building Official, it pertained
just to the auto sales business, and nothing was mentioned about the auto wrecking
parking lot.
Mr. Schrantz stated asphalt strips for the parking lot surface would satisfy one of the
ordinances on a temporary basis, but he didn't agree that it was a permanent solution.
Council agreed trees would not need to be planted in front of the fence in the portion
that would be the auto sales business. But when viewing pictures of the yard, it was
suggested the portion between the auto sales and the east fence have trees placed
where appropriate and reasonable to comply with the ordinance.
(Councilman Peach responded to a fire call at this time, 7:45 p.m.)

Page 2
(Trees/Anoka Auto Wrecking, Continued)
It was suggested the City Clerk, Engineer, or Building Official meet with the Jellisons
to review the ordinance requirements, look at where the trees might be planted and
at the surfacing of the parking lot.
MDTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Lachinski, that we move the question of Anoka Auto
Wrecklng junkyard license to the next regularly scheduled meeting in order to allow
time for the owners of the facility to meet with the Building Inspector to determine
if additional trees need to be planted, and the Building Inspector to report back to
the Council, and for the owners of the property to provide the adequate asphalt
stripping for the parking lot for the junkyard portion. Motion carried on a 4-Yes,
l-Absent (Peach) vote.
RESIDENT FORUM
Jeff Johnson - stated he owns Parcel 4860 on Prairie Road. He stated he did not get
notice of the road improvement project proposed for Prairie Road. He went over there
last Saturday and found nine of his oak trees gone. According to the City records,
all the other landowners were notified. He felt he should have the right to take the
trees in front of his property. If he would have known, he would have cut the trees
down himse If. Council discussion was that it was the City's intention to allow the
adjacent property owners to cut down the trees and that it was an oversight on the
City's part to notify him. The Engineer was directed to determine if there are trees
in some of the other projects being done that the property owners do not want which
could be traded with Mr. Johnson.
FOREST LAKE CONTRACTING - MINING PERMIT
Jim Elling, P & Z Commissioner, reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation for
approval of the mining permit request.
Clarence Wirkus, 13435 Jay Street, owner of the property, was present.
Mayor Windschitl asked if this parcel was involved with any of the hazardous waste
sites in that area. Both Ms. Lindquist and Mr. Elling stated they were not aware of
any dumping on this property. Mr. Elling stated he walked the property and did not
see anything out of the ordinary.
Councilman Jacobson wondered if the company should be required to post a bond to be
sure the final grading, sloping, seeding, etc., is completed. Others questioned
whether a bond could be required by the City because it is on private property and is
not a City project. Mr. Elling also stated that they are asking the hauling be done
via Hanson Boulevard, which requires a County permit to haul on the County road.
The P & Z discussion was if hauling of this type is done on City streets, bonds should
be required in the event of damage to the City streets as a result of the hauling.
Mr. Schrantz explained a hill will be cut down. They will be required to keep the land
on the north end equal to or higher than Hanson Boulevard and to leave enough for
ponding to handle the drainage from the property in a 100-year storm. The 1 and is
being lowered, but it is being left high enough to possibly construct a road between
Hanson and Jay Street. He explained the proposed elevations, stating it is difficult
to know what finished level should be required because it is not known how that land
will be developed in the future. He explained the highest elevation would be 895 by
Hanson Boulevard, sloped to the lowest elevation of 893. Council noted those figures
should be shown on the map.
Discussion noted the power companies control the easements under the power line.
Approval has been granted by NSP; however, UPA has not yet been contacted because the
owner was not aware of that easement.
Regular City Council Meeting
September 21, 1982 - Minutes
Page 3
(Forest Lake Contracting - Mining Permit, Continued)
MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Lachinski, introducing a Resolution approving a Special
Use Permit for the purpose of mining as requested by Forest Lake Contracting, Inc., as
prepared; and an additional condition, note that the plat showing the finished elevations
as amended by the City Engineer on 9-21 be attached to the Special Use Permit and be
made a condition of the Special Use Permit; and Item 8 note any additional easements;
and subject to a one-year review (See Resolution R82-82) Motion carried on a 4-Yes,
l-Absent (Peach) vote.
WILLIAM RADEMACHER - AMENDED SPECIAL USE PERMIT/GAS PUMPS
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Lachinski, a Resolution approving an Amended Special
Use Permit for additional gasoline pumps and storage at Bill's Superette at 14041
Round Lake Boulevard as presented on Agenda Item Sc, on meeting 9-21-82. (See
Resolution R83-82) Motion carried on a 4-Yes, l-Absent (Peach) vote.
REVIEW SPECIAL USE PERMIT - J & J LIQUORS
Bruce Perry, 17337 Roanoke - stated the business has a sign on the opposite corner
from their place WhlCh is on a residential lot and is in violation of the ordinance.
The Clerk stated the owners of J & J's have been notified in writing that the sign is
in violation of the ordinance and must be removed.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Lachinski, that we move the matter of the Special Use
Permit for J & J Liquors to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the City Council,
and have the City Clerk relay to the owners of J & J Liquors the illegal sign advertis-
ing the establishment on property owned by one of the owners of the liquor store, and
relay at the same time the contention of the City Attorney and ask them to appear at
the next meeting of the Council for resolution of the matter. DISCUSSION: The
Special Use Permit is good only until the First of October, and it was felt approving
the permit contingent upon removal of the sign would be the best procedure.
Councilmen Lachinski and Jacobson WITHDREW the Second and the Motion.
MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Orttel, approving the Special Use Permit for J & J
Liquor through October 1, 1983, contingent upon the removal of an illegal sign on
residential property in the vacinity of the J & J Liquor store.
VOTE ON MOTION: YES-Lachinski, Orttel, Windschitl; ABSTAIN-Jacobson; ABSENT-Peach
Motion carried.
(Councilman Peach returned at this time, 8:18 p.m.)
REVIEW SPECIAL USE PERMIT - BONNEVILLE BEAUTY SHOP
A gentleman representing the beauty shop reported there has been no proble~s or
complaints with the shop from any of the surrounding neighbors.
MDTION by Orttel, Seconded by Lachinski, that the Council renew a Special Use Permit
for the Bonneville Beauty Shop for a period of 12 months. Motion carried unanimously.
SPECIAL ROAD PROJECTS
Council reviewed the September 17, 1982, memo from the City Engineer on the special
road projects suggested and to find funds for the surfacing of the parking lot around
the Public Services Building.
After discussion, the Council generally agreed to all the special road projects with
the exception of the shoulder work in the LakeRidge Addition. Mr. Schrantz stated
there are several options to repairing the shoulders. The Engineer was directed to
review the past events relative to the LakeRidge Addition to determine if there is
some liability on the part of the developer and/or the engineer or engineering firm
Regular City Council Meeting
September 21, 1982 - Minutes
Page 4
(Special Road Projects, Continued)
who recommended acceptance of the roads. Also, find out when the gas company worked
in the area, as the developer is claiming that is when the shoulders were tore up.
In addition, look into the possibility of assessing for the shoulder repair work.
MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Peach, that we authorize the City Engineer to complete
the projects as proposed in his letter of 9-17-82 with the exception of the LakeRidge
shouldering for an estimated total dollar amount of $9,700. Motion carried
unanimously.
MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Peach, that we authorize up to $3,000 for the construction
of the parking area at the Public Works Building, funds to be transferred from the
Special Projects,$2,OOO, and Sealcoating Fund, $1,000; and $4,000 from the Fire
Department budget for the construction of the paved parking area for the Fire
Department. Motion carried unanimously.
AWARD CONTRACT/COMMUNITY CENTER PARK
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Lachinski, that we award a contract to Burton Kraabel
Construction in the amount of $14,659.15 for work on the City Hall park in Andover taking
note of other bids from Central Landscaping, Park Construction, and Julian M. Johnson
Construction Company, and also authorize the City Engineer and any other City official
necessary to purchase materials for this project at an estimated price of an additional
$16,615; and authorize the engineering costs for design and staking at approximately
$4,600 for an estimated total cost of the first phase of the project of $35,874; such
money to come from Park Board funds. DISCUSSION: Councilman Peach stated he has
talked with Mr. Kraabel, who indicated he made a $6,000 error in his bid. Mr. Schrantz
stated he has also talked with Mr. Kraabel, that there is nothing that can be done once
the bidding process has started, and that Mr. Kraabel indicated he would do the project
for the price bid. Mr. Schrantz felt that if Mr. Kraabel hauls in the material, dumps,
and spreads it, there would not be a loss. Mr. Schrantz stated it is expected the
project will be done this year. Discussion was also on whether the money should come
from the park dedication fees fund or the general fund. General consensus was that it
would come from funds that are not committed for other uses. The money in the general
fund has been committed to the Kelsey Park purchase; therefore, the funds for this
project would have to come from park dedication fees or other unencumbered Park Board
funds. Motion carried unanimously.
CABLE TV REQUEST
The Clerk stated the contractors for the cable TV system have requested a conceptual
agreement to the leasing of one-half acre on the City Hall site for their hub on which
they would construct a building of approximately 30x40 feet and one 7S-foot tower.
Council questioned how the building wouïd fit in with the City Hall site plan, feeling
it would be better to locate it toward the western edge of the property so it would
not interfere with the expansion of the City Hall building or other plans.
APPOINTMENT TO WASTE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
Councilman Orttel volunteered to represent the City on the committee.
MOTION by Peach, Seconded by Jacobson, to appoint Councilmember Ken Orttel to the
Waste Management Committee. Motion carried on a 4-Yes, l-Abstain (Orttel) vote.
PROBATIONARY INCREASE - CLINTON
Discussion was on M~ Clinton's present salary and proposed increase. The Clerk
explained when determining the 1983 budget, an eight percent increase was used on her
Regular City Council Meeting
September 21, 1982 - Minutes
Page 5
(Probationary Increase - Clinton, Continued)
total earnings, not/~Rat is made at the end of the year. Ms. Lindquist also explained
that in the past, probationary increases have generally been ten percent.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Peach, that the City Council take note that Shirley
Clinton has completed her six-month probationary period and increase her salary from
the present $6.25 an hour to level $6.75 per hour effective October 1, 1982. Motion
carried unanimously.
RESOLUTION/ORDER PREPARATION OF ROLL/82-7
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, a Resolution establishing costs and ordering
preparation of the assessment roll for Project 82-7, Street Improvement in the
Russell/Stack Addition, l6Sth Avenue NW lying west of Seventh Avenue as presented with
the note that in the Resolution the appropriate contract costs will be entered by
the City Engineer. (See Resolution R84-82) Motion carried unanimously.
Council questioned whether there will be assessment hearings on the State Aid
Projects for right-of-way costs, in particular the portion that is commercial and
industrial for Hanson Boulevard. The Clerk was asked to review this further.
FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT
Assistant Chief Bill Bush requested approval to purchase a projector for the training
department, estimating a cost of $579, funds to come from their training and public
education budget, 412.34 and 412.401. Councilman Jacobson felt the cost was too high
and that a similiar unit should be able to be purchased for approximately $350. He
will call the city with information on this item tomorrow.
MOTION by Peach, Seconded by Orttel, that the Fire Department be authorized to purchase
a projector as specified for a cost not to exceed $400, with funds to come from
412.34 and 412.401 in the budget. Motion carried unanimously.
Recess at 9:04; reconvene at 9:20.
MAYOR'S REPORT
Mayor Windschitl expressed concern with the performance of the engineering firm of
Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik, and Associates, especially with the progress of the
construction of the Senior Citizen Center and the Municipal State Aid projects.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Peach, that we authorize the Mayor; City Clerk, and
ëìtÿïrngineer to meet with representatives from Bonestroo Engineering to discuss
matters of the Senior Citizen Center and other projects being undertaken by the
engineering firm within the City. Motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Windschitl also explained the problem with the City's police protection since
the City of East Bethel shifted their eight-hour police shift from evening to daytime
hours. What has happened is that the Ham Lake and Andover cars are having to cover
problems in East Bethel during evening hours, which means at times Andover's police
car must leave the City. He cited an incident when Andover's car was out of the
City for over 2~ hours one evening because of a disturbance in East Bethel. It is
in effect paying for coverage the City is not receiving. The Mayor stated he has
expressed these concerns to Buster Talbot, explaining that providing backup is
understandable, but providing routine services for another city is intolerable. Mayor
Windschitl stated if he cannot resolve this through the Sheriff's Department, he
would like to meet with the Mayor of Ham Lake. This problem did not occur until East
Bethe 1 made their shift change.
Regular City Council Meeting
September 21, 1982 - Minutes
Page 6
(Mayor's Report, Continued)
Mayor Windschitl suggested that since Ed Fields, County Commissioner, is no longer
running for office, that the City present him with a plaque or certificate of
appreciation for his years of services to the City and to the County.
MOTION by Peach, Seconded by Lachinski, that the,City Clerk be authorized to purchase
a plaque commemorating Commissioner Field's long years of service to the County and
to the City, with presentation at the second regular meeting in the month of October.
DISCUSSION: The Clerk was directed to research the legality of spending public money
on an existing public official. Motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Peach reported that Natalie Haas, County Commissioner Candidate for
District 1, asked to address the Council. After a short discussion, it was generally
felt that it would not be appropriate if done for political purposes. There was
also some discussion on the possibility of setting up a "Meet the Candidates" night
in Andover, but generally feeling that should be done by some other organization
other than the City, though there was no objection to the use of the City Hall for
such a purpose.
ENTERPRISE FUND BUDGET
Discussion was first on the water fund budget. Council felt that the budget must
be balanced before it can be approved. Mayor Windschitl stated that after the
discussions he would be in favor of covering the shortage from the connection
charges. Council generally agreed to reduce the $12,000 figure from 4825.532 under
administration to $7,556.
Council also questioned the administration cost, feeling it is quite high, noting
that the City must have five times as much usage to cover those expenses. It was
questioned if that amount could even be collected when the entire area is totally
deve loped.
There was also discussion on the amount budgeted for personnel, with some feeling
the amount is high compared to the size of the water system. A specific breakdown of
manpower hours spent on the system was requested to see if the expenses are justified.
It was also asked what percentage of manpower is for water systems of other communities.
And it was questioned what specific daily tasks are required that would take that
amount of time. It was suggested when the 1983 budget is being discussed that members
of the Public Works Department be present to explain these items to the Council.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Lachinski, that the City Council approve the 1982
Public Utilities Water Fund Budget with the deletion under 4825.532, sum showing $12,000,
reduce that by $4,440, making appropriate other arithmatic calculations when removing
that. Motion carried unanimously.
Discussion was then on the Sewer Fund Budget, especially as it relates to the refund
and credits the City has or will be receiving from the Metropolitan Wàste Water
Commission. The Clerk noted the fund will require a user rate increase the beginning
of 1983, but it will not be as much as originally anticipated because of the rate
changes to the City by Metro Waste. It was noted that once the exact figures are
known on the refund or credit the City will be receiving, the fund should be self-
supporting. For the 1982 budget, it was suggested the shortage be made up from the
General Fund. The Clerk was asko asked to provide an accounting of the sewer fund
balances since 1976 noting any surpluses in these funds from prior years.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Lachinski, that we approve the 1982 Public Utilities
Budget for Sewer Fund A and Sewer Fund B as presented, noting a deficit in each fund
and such deficit to be made up by surplus general funds to be decided by the Council
and from any surplus sewer funds from preceeding years. DISCUSSION: Mr. Perry asked
Regular City Council Meeting
September 21, 1982 - Minutes
Page 7
(Enterprise Fund Budget, Continued)
if there is something in there protecting those in the rural area with on-site septic
systems from having to subsidize the sewer funds. Council noted there is no reason
why the sewer funds should have to be subsidized by the general funds, that with the
rate reduction, refunds, or credits from the Metro Waste Commission, and with an
increase in sewer user fees, the fund should be self-sufficient. The risk of the
general fund subsidizing the water fund exists, but it should not exist for the sewer
funds. The Clerk explained taking the fund balances since the beginning, there is
no surplus since the beginning of 1981. She also explained that the budget shows a
deficit; but in reality because of the time factor in paying the bills, no dollars
will actually be taken from the general fund. She also noted that the purchase of a
van previously suggested for Public Works has been removed from the Enterprise
Budget. Mot i on carried unanimous ly.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM
Council discussed the proposed Capital Improvements Program noting that it is merely
a guide to be used for the purchase of capital equipment and that it should also be
updated on an annual basis. It was generally agreed to include the second alternative
payment schedule of the three alternatives provided by the CIP Committee.
MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Orttel, that the Capital Improvements Program be
adopted as presented by the Capital Improvements Committee showing Alternative No.2
for the proposed financing as the maximum amount to be bonded. Motion carried
unanimous ly.
The Clerk was directed to look into costs of having the copy bound, including asking
TKDA for a cost estimate, prior to submitting it to the Metropolitan Council.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, that we authorize the Mayor and Clerk to
ลกìgn such documents as may be necessary to send the Capital Improvements budget to
the Metropolitan Council for their approval. Motion carried unanimously.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
Councilman Jacobson suggested asking the P & Z to look at the mining permit in the
ordinances to see if they feel there should be some bond required for mining within
the City. He has a problem if someone just walks away, leaving a hole, and not re-
claiming it, etc. Chairman d'Arcy Bosell felt that could be looked at as the
ordinances are being updated. Council cautioned the bond issue be looked at closely
when it relates to mining being done for private purposes, questioning whether the
City has the authority to require a bond in such instances.
