Item No. 3 - Agenda Approval
Item No. 4a - Special Use Permit-Gerhardt Denning
Mr. Denning is requesting a SUP to allow him to construct a storage
shed on his property (20 acres) on 167th Avenue off Verdin Street.
The primary structure is not built on the property; and no time
has been given for the construction of same. Planning and Zoning
is recommending approval of the request. He intends to use the
proposed structure for storage of his tractor and some garden tools.
Attached is a resolution for approval with the contingency that
the structure must be built in accordance with the plans submitted
at the time of the SUP request; and with materials approved by the
Building Inspector. These contingencies should assure that the
building will look compatible, not be detrimental to neighboring
properties now or in the future.
Item No. 4b - Special Use Permit-To Ryan
Mr. Ryan is requesting a SUP to allow him to construct and operate
a kennel on his property in Hawk Ridge. The house is already
constructed and the proposed kennel meets the provisions of ordinance
8u. Such requirements/provisions are included in the attached
resolution for approval as recommended by the Planning and Zoning
Commission. You will note there was a public hearing and no
neighbors were present to voice objection to such a facility.
Item No. 4c - Lot Split-Martensen & Kessler, Inc.
Attached is the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation for
approval of the request to subdivide a 140x200 parcel on Poppy Street,
zoned R-4 into two separate parcels. All provisions of Ordinance No.40
are met. Attached is a resolution granting approval; please note I
am showing a $200 park dedication fee. No park fee has been paid at
any time on this parcel, therefore, I would assume the fee would be
due on both parcels.

Item No. 4d - Rezoning/R. Sonsteby
This item was tabled from the October 18 Meeting to allow the City
Engineer time to check with Anoka County on the location of the
proposed Bunker Lake Boulevard extension. Attached is a letter from
the Engineer, along with a map showing the location of such extension.
As you can see, this proposed alignment does directly affect the
property of Mrs. Sonsteby's on 7th Avenue on which the rezoning is
being requested.
Also attached is a letter from Anoka City expressing their concerns
for this potential rezoning. As you can see, they have the same
questions as those presented by members of our Council.
A resolution was prepared for the last meeting, however, if the
Council does not approve the request, this resolution would be void.
Please refer to the letter from Attorney Hawkins, dated November 7th,
for comments to be included in any resolution passed.
Item No. 5a - Contract/Appraisal - 138th Avenue Park
A motion is needed to authorize the mayor and clerk to execute an
Appraisal Contract with Appraisal Engineering Bureau, Inc. to have
them perform the required appraisals of the property being used
for the 138th Avenue Park, at a cost not to exceed $200 per parcel.
Anoka County uses this firm for the majority of their CDBG work;
in checking with other private appraisal firms, the rates given by
AEB, Inc. appear to be very reasonable.
Item No. 5b - Joint Powers Agreement/Anoka City-Water
Attached is a memorandum from the City Engineer recommending approval
of the Agreement. A motion is needed to authorize the mayor and clerk
to execute this Agreement.
Item No. 6a - Community Schools/To Strukel
Mr. Strukel will be here to introduce his replacement for the next
year (he will be taking a one-year educational leave); and to cover
the current programs. He is also requesting that the Council adopt
the attached Proclamation Declaring November 16 as National Community
Education Day.

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - NOVEMBER 15, 1983
MINUTES
The Regular Bi-Monthly Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by
Mayor Jerry Windschitl on November 15, 1983, 7:30 p.m., at the Andover City Hall,
1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Anoka, Minnesota.
Councilmen present: Elling, Knight, Lachinski, Orttel
Councilmen absent: None
A lso present: City Attorney, William G. Hawkins; Planning and Zoning
Commissioner, Maynard Apel; City Clerk/A. Administrator,
P. K. Lindquist; and others
RESIDENT FORUM
Rosella Sonsteby, 4151 141st Avenue NW - wants to appeal the decision of the Council
at the last meet1ng to allow only $100 toward the survey between her two lots. She
felt she would not have had to resurvey if the lot stake had not been removed.
Council agreed to consider the item for addition to the Agenda.
Carroll Abbott, 2917 142nd Lane - thought they received their notices a day after the
meeting about the water study for the City. Councilman Elling stated the only
notice they received did not come from the City, but he personally passed the notice
out in Northwoods and Green Acres the night before the meeting. Mayor Windschitl
also noted there will be another hearing as an update, probably in March.
Mr. Abbott - has been receiving calls from residents concerning the petition on the
stop slgns, wanting to know what has been happening. He has informed them it is still
being discussed but if they have a problem, they should call City Hall. His concern
was at the time the signs were put up, it didn't ta.J<e signatures to do so. Now they
have 90 signatures, and it seems to take a considerable amount of time to get them
taken down. He asked if there was a meeting since the last one he was at. Mayor
Windschitl stated it was discussed at a Council meeting and it will be discussed
again at a Road Committee meeting, probably early next month.
AGENDA APPROVAL
MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, that we approve the Agenda as published with the
add1tion of 4e, Appeal of the Lot Survey Decision for Rosella Sonsteby; Item 5c,
Budget Hearing Date, and 6b, PCA-EPA Meeting. Motion carried unanimously.
SPECIAL USE PERMIT - GERHARDT DENNING
Commissioner Apel reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to grant a special
use permit allowing Mr. and Mrs. Denning to construct a storage shed on their property
prior to the principal building. The Dennings have their house up for sale and do
intend to build on this property on 167th Avenue off Verdin Street as soon as their
house is sold.
Mrs. Gerhardt Denning, 2526 North FerrA Stree~~o~ - stated they took the buildings
that are up on the lot now from their noka property and moved them to the site.
Council agreed that the special use permit would not be necessary once the principal
structure is constructed. .
MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Lachinski, entering a Resolution approving a Special Use
Permit for the construction of an accessory building prior to construction of the
primary structure as requested by Gerhardt Denning as prepared before us tonight, except
in the last paragraph add "until such time as the principal structure is constructed."
and delete the fifth "WHEREAS". (See Resolution Rl16-83) Motion carried unanimously.

SPECIAL USE PERMIT - T. RYAN
Commissioner Apel reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve a
special use permit allowing Mr. Ryan to construct and operate a kennel as a breeding
facility on his property in Hawk Ridge. At the P & Z meeting, Mr. Ryan indicated he
had talked to his neighbors and there were no objections to what he wants to do.
MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Lachinski, that we approve a Resolution approving a
Spec1al Use Permit for the purpose of having a dog kennel as requested by Thomas
Ryan at 2730 177th Lane Northwest as presented with the addition of the last "BE IT
FURTHER RESOLVED", add "and such permit shall be subject to an annual review." (See
Resolution Rl17-83) Motion carried unanimously.
LOT SPLIT - MARTENSEN & KESSLER
Commissioner Apel reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve the lot
split request of Martensen & Kessler. They had looked at a previous preliminary plat
to the east of this property, and a road did not tie into 136th Avenue. They approved
the lot split on the basis that 136th Avenu.e' would not be extended to the east.
Jim Martensen, 13433 Round Lake Boulevard - was present.
MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, introducing a Resolution approving a lot split
for Plat 65932, Parcel 7800, as requested by Martensen & Kessler, Inc., as prepared.
(See Resolution Rl18-83) Motion carried unanimously.
REZONING - R. SONSTEBY
Rosella Sonsteby - stated the property she is now wanting to be zoned General Business
was or1ginally zoned commercial in 1969, stating when it was put on the zoning map, it
was a mi stake. She showed a copy of a legal notice descritiing the entire piece of
property as commercial, not the zoning now shown as NB and M-2. She stated she came
to the City many times asking it to be changed, but nothing was ever done about it.
She claimed it has never been rezoned since then except for the piece that Glen
Sonsteby had rezoned for his garage.
Council discussion was that the last time the City did a rezoning of the urban area
for the Comprehensive Plan, many areas were rezoned and the published map became the
official zoning. Presently the City does not have a "commercial" zone, and the Council
can only deal with the existing zones and the maps that were inherited from previous
Councils. Attorney Hawkins advised the City did not have to notify individua:l property
owners of the rezoning of the southern portion of the City because the total acres
involved was over that which is required by Statute for individual notification. The
map was published, and that constitutes the official rezoning.
Ms. Sonsteby - disagreed, again stating there was an error on the map, feeling that
the C1ty did not have the right to rezone property unless the property owner is asked
to do it.
Discussion was then on the letter from the County of Anoka and the proposed alignment
for the future County 116 through the property in question. Mayor Windschitl noted
the County Board did pass a motion that the road wi 11 be constructed. Counc i lman
Lachinski asked if Ms. Sonsteby would be willing to set aside the easement for that road.
Ms. Sonsteby - stated she is not wi lling to give the county the land f or the road, but
she had no problem with selling that land for the road. She also stated she would have
no problem with the southern line of the General Business area being requested to be:
shown along the future County 116 easement. She asked for a· copy of the letter from
the City of Anoka. Ms. Sonsteby stated· the City of Anoka was contacted when she first
applied for the rezoning, but they did not respond. The City then asked again for input
Regular City Council Meeting
November 15, 1983 - Minutes
Page 3
(Rezoning - R. Sonsteby, Continued)
on the matter; and she felt they then felt they had an obligation to respond, feeling
that was not right and that the letter should then have no bearing on the Council's
dec i s i on . Ms. Sonsteby stated she felt her request should be approved, that it is a
good place for general business, and again expressed frustration and disappointment
that the zoning as shown on the maps is inaccurate according to her notices and has
not been corrected in spite of her recpeated requests to have it corrected.
Council felt that the letter was relevant and reviewed the October 20, 19S3, letter
in which the City of Anoka raised four issues to support their objection to the re~oning
request. Those objections basically were that no development plan has been filed, no
development is eminent, and no utilities are available; that the up-zoning and substantial
increase in acres changes the character to a community commercial center with apparently
no basis for such a change; that no market study has been conducted; and that the up-
zoning increases the value of the property and would increase the cost of easement
acquisition to the taxpayers of the County for the future County 116. Councilman
Orttel stated they have some valid points, although it is weighted toward protection
of their own businesses, which is understandable, and cautioned about the overuse of
those objections.
None of the Council had received any unfavorable comments from Andover residents about
the rezoning request.
~s. Sonsteby - stated she did talk to the neighbors living on 41st in Anoka ~boùt
apartments, and they indicated they would rather see general business than large
apartment 'buildings right next to them.
Discussion with Ms. Sonsteby continued on the use of the property if it is zoned GB
and what her plans are for the area. Ms. Sonsteby - stated the Council already has
the control over what can be put in the area. She didn't know what is going in there,
but she wants to get a large grocery store and other small shops that follow that type
of business. If the land is zoned GB, she can then look for businesses and be able to
market the land easier. Further Council discussion was they generally were not
opposed to that type of retail business, but that can only be done within a Shopping
Center or Neighborhood Business classification, not General Business. Right now the
SC classification could not be constructed because utilities are not available, but a
portion of it is already NB and would allow the things Ms. Sonsteby proposed this
even ing. It was noted that a large grocery store would be allowed in GB with a special
use permit, but a plan would need to be submitted.
Ms. Sonsteby - stated she would plat the property according to how many acres a potential
buyer would want for a business. Once the property is rezoned, she could contact people
who want to come into that area. But until it is rezoned, it is a waste of time to
look for buyers.
After further discussion, the Council generally felt that the area north of the easement
for the future County 116 would best serve Ms. Sonsteby's needs with an NB zoning and
would also be less offensive to the residents and to the scrutiny of the Council.
Ms. Sonsteby - stated she would be satisfied with ·the zoning north of the proposed
road to be NB and the land south of that easement to be M-2, feeling that property was
zoned commercial in the first place. She envisioned that area for retail shops and a
grocery store, but noted the northeast corner next to the gas company would make a nice
spot for a paint and body shop, and that would have to go under General Business.
Councilman Orttel stated no one may have any real disagreement with that type of
operation, but rezoning the entire area GB restricts her with what it can be used for.
Ms. Sonsteby - again stated she would be satisfied with the NB zoning for the area, and
when the road does go through, there may be more direction as to what she could do with
the property.
Regular City Council Meeting
November 15, 1983 - Minutes
Page 4
(Rezoning - R. Sonsteby, Continued)
Council discussed the procedure that would be required to change Ms. Sonsteby's
request, noting it would have to go back through the Planning Commission. Ms.
Sonsteby stated she is not willing to pay the $150 fee again. The Clerk stated a
fee would not be required if the request is made here and the Council refers the
matter to the P & Z.
Ms. Sonsteby - then formally asked to withdraw her request for the GB zoning and to
change her request to Neighborhood Business for the property north of the north right-
of-way line of the proposed County 116 as submitted by the County and before the
Council this evening. The property south of that right-of-way line, including the
property for the road, would retain the existing zoning.
MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Orttel, to refer the Sonsteby rezoning to the Planning
and Zoning Commission for reconsideration based on her request to have the property
north of the proposed 116 to be rezoned to Neighborhood Business. DISCUSSION:
Council asked Ms. Sonsteby to provide corrected sketches of the request, including
the location of the future County 116, the acres to be rezoned, and the dimensions of
the area. Motion carried unanimously.
APPEAL OF THE LOT SURVEY DECISION FOR ROSELLA SONSTEBY
Councilman Orttel reviewed the Council discussion and decision at the November 1 meeting
to have the City pay $100 toward the cost of the resurvey, 'a portion of what was re-
quested by Ms. Sonsteby, based on paying tor the replacement of the stake that was
alleged to have been removed by the City during a project but not to pay for the
certificate of survey. Councilman Lachinski explained he voted against the motion
believing the property would have had to have been resurveyed anyway to obtain new
certificates of survey.
Ms. Sonsteby - stated that is not true. She had a certificate of survey from Winters
when the property was originally surveyed. But she could not use that: one because
Caine and O'Malley would not put the stakes in unless they started from the original
point again. Plus she had additional expense because the land had to go through quite
title action, and now she has to torrens that property. She stated the certificate of
survey from Winters was for the entire plat, and it was accepted by all the banks,
stating she has to torrens the property because of the problems that have resulted from
the resurveying done by Caine and O'Malley.
Mayor Windschitl stated a torrens is the result of a title defect, not as a result of
two stakes having been removed. Ms. Sonsteby - stated she was not concerned with the
certificate of survey, but that came with the resurveying done by Caine and O'Malley,
and that cost was $400. When the resurvey was done from the original stake, there
was an overlap'in the title, and that is the reason for the torrensing procedure. She
also stated she could prove that the stakes were put in before the City's storm sewer
project through the area.
After a brief discussion on just what the City's laibility is eight years after the
fact and the cost of a professional firm replacing the stake versus the City doing so,
none of the Councilmem wished to change their position taken at the November 1 meeting,
so that action stands.
CONTRACT/APPRAISAL - 11@TH AVENUE PARK
MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, that we authorize the firm of AEB, Inc., to do
appraisals on the park property at 138th Avenue for an amount not to exceed $200 per
parce 1 . Motion carried unanimously.

JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT/ANOKA CITY - WATER
MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, that the City of Andover enter into a joint
powers agreement with the City of Anoka for the use of emergency on ly water from the
City of Anoka hydrant as prepared and presented by the City Engineer. Motion carried
unanimous ly.
SET BUDGET HEARING DATE
MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, that we hold a final budget hearing on December 8
at 7:30 at the City Hall. Motion carried unanimously.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, that we authorize up to $175 for the Planning
and Zoning Commission members to attend the Land Use Planning Workshop on December 9,
1983. Motion carried unanimously.
PCA - EPA REPORT
Mayor Windschitl explained at the PCA-EPA hearing last Thursday, most of the information
was a review of what had been reported before. However, they have removed out of their
work plan the well pump test, which the City has been told in the past is the key item
for a water feasibility study. The plan is to obtain similiar information without that
test. The Mayor had asked why it was being dropped and was told it was a cost factor,
though he wasn't really satisfied with that answer. And to his knowledge, the Health
Department, which has placed the restrictions on well drilling in a portion of Andover,
was not consulted about the EPA work plan. The Mayor expressed frustration.with what
is taking place in this project, wondering if the results will satisfy Andover's
requirements.
The Mayor then asked for direction from the Council relative to hiring on a per-hour
or fixed~fee basis the firm of Hickock and Associates as advisors for the City. They
would represent Andover's interest when reviewing the work the EPA and PCA are doing
on the landfill problem, as that work is now being done without City involvement to a
significant degree.
The Council generally expressed agreement that the City should be represented by someone
with the expertise in this field to be sure Andover's interest is being served, feeling
the total cost for an advisor should not be great. The intent is not to criticize
anyone, but the EPA and PCA both have priorities and those may not necessarily be
Andover's priorities.
Mayor Windschitl then asked Lyle Bradley if he was comfortable with the information
received at last Thursday's meeting. Mr. Bradle~ stated absolutely not. He concurred
with the need to have an advisor represent the C1ty's interests. He stated he couldn't
believe the connotations about the flow of water determined strictly by the level, and
using just three wells to determine the flow of water just might backfire. He also
suggested the possibility of using local volunteers with expertise in this area to
review the work plans, etc. The Mayor asked to be contacted if Mr. Bradley found
someone who would be willing to do that.
It was agreed that the Mayor would contact the firm of Hickock and Associates for a
proposal and costs to represent the City and bring it back to the next Council meeting.
