From the reports received from B.R.A., the majority of the items in questions by the Council were not in the specs, therefore, Marcus does not feel responsible (their obligation, per the Contract is to build according to Plans and Specifications).

I covering the final payment. Item No. Sq - Cedar Crest Pond Enclosed is a memo from the City Engineer covering the flooding from the City drainage pond in Cedar Crest Estates.

Councilmen present: Elling, Knight, Lachinski, Orttel Councilmen absent: None A 1 so present: City Attorney. William G. Hawkins; City Engineer. James Schrantz; Planning and Zoning Chairman, Don Spotts; City Clerk/A. Administrator, P. K. Lindquist; and others RESIDENT FORUM - - Dave Burnett, 13852 Silverod Court - stated over the last year they have had problems w1th some-¡)f their reSTdentŠ-speeaing in their cul de sac. He presented a petition signed by neighbors asking that some sign be installed, possibly a Caution - Children Playing sign. Council had no problem with the installation of a caution sign. It was also suggested he talk with the deputies about the problems and possibly unmarked cars could be used for enforcement or they could talk with the violators if they can be identified;. Mr. Burnett - stated the deputy was Dut on Sunday, who was going to talk with one of the offenders. But it has happened again since then. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, that we authorize the City Engineer to have a Caut10n due to Children in the Area sign placed on Silverod Court. Motion carried unanimously. PRESENTATION - CONCERNED PARENTS OF ANDOVER -- - Theresa Frazer, 14419 Seventh Avenue - represented Citizens from Western Andover. She explained the ad hëíc~committee has submitted a report to the school board advising them of solutions to the overcrowding problem at the Anoka Senior High School The last alternative is a boundary change. They are requesting the City Council draft a proposal to the District 11 School Board opposing any boundary change that would affect their children. They opposed being bused to Blaine when the Anoka High School is so close. She also presented a petition signed by over 600 citizens in Western Andover opposing a boundary change. Council agreed, feeling it would be totally unreasonable to have the boundary changed again. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, that we direct the City Clerk to prepare a Resolution showing the City of Andover's position as being opposed to the proposed boundary change. (See Resolution R045-84) DISCUSSION: Ms. Frazer explained the boundary change is still in as a solution to be considered, and it is on the Agenda for this Monday night. They would like that solution dropped from consideration. Motion carried unanimously. AGENDA APPROVAL MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Knight, that we approve the Agenda as published with the addltion of Item 5j; Municipal State Aid Highway Easement Acquisitions; Item 6c, Municipal State Aid Parking Resolution; and Item 7d, Police Protection. Motion carried unanimous ly. EAST ROUND LAKE ESTATES PRELIMINARY PLAT --- - Chairman ~potts reviewed the Commission's recommendation for approval noting the variance needed for Lots 3 and 4, Block 3, because of the road. Everything else has been accomplished. - Regular City Council Meeting June 19, 1984 - Minutes Page 2 (East Round Lake Estates Preliminary Plat, Continued) MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, introducing a Resolution as prepared by the City Clerk to approve the Preliminary Plat of East Round Lake Estates. (See Resolution R046-84) Motion carried unanimously. LUND'S EVERGREEN ESTATES SECOND ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT Chairman Spotts explained everythi~g has been accomplished on the plat. but there has been a controversy surrounding the planting of trees and any future development of the property, a situation which has arisen between an adjoining property owner and the deve loper. Attorney Hawkins stated it is a private matter between the individual that signed the statement and the person who owns the property. As long as the plat meets the City's requirements, there isn't anything the City can do other than examine title. And he didn't know if this would present a title objection, though it doesn't look like it is a recordable document. Ken Taylor, 16552 Verdin Street NW - reviewed his letter to the City noting the agreement ~nd Mr. Ralph Lund had at the purchase of his property 14 years ago. It was promised at that time that he would have first option to buy any adjoining property. Because of his financial structure at that time, Mr. Lund would not sell any more added acreage. The farm buildings are on Mr. Taylor's two acres. He has been trying to purchase additional acreage over the years from Mr. Ralph Lund and hàs always been told not at this time but at a future date. Once this plat goes through, he has a piece of . property that is nondivisible because of its size surrounded on two sides with blacktop that has farm buildings that are useless for the purpose they are presently there. For 14 years he has been maintaining those buildings. If the road goes in the plat on the north side of his property, it goes against the letter he has from Mr. R. Lund that he has the option on the north property. Attorney Hawkins again advised that whether or not Mr. Taylor has an option to buy some property is a civil matter between him and Mr. Lund. The City cannot hold the plat up because of a claim or some option Mr. Taylor may have against the property. Mr. T~lor - stated if the City allows the location of the road north of his property, Trïëuts off any adjoining property. He has been looking after the property over the years and has worked the apple orchard there because he had been promised to be able to purchase that property. He also felt that if this development goes through, it will be a matter of time before the County upgrades Verdin, which would mean the taking of additional right of way in front of his property. Councilman Lachinski asked if there is anything Mr. Taylor is doing on the land now that would not be allowed on property the size of his lot. Mr. Taylor stated he did not house any animals, and during the course of discussion it was determined that the platting of the property would not make Mr. Taylor's parcel in viol~ti,t)o... of the ordinances relative to housing animals, building setbacks, etc. Mr. T~l.Q[ - stated he was not interested in purchasing a "lot" across a road adjoining nrs-property; he was interested in adding raw acreage to his property. Mr. Schrantz noted the County preferred the exit of 166th at that location feeling it was the best place for visibility coming out onto Verdin. Bringing 165th straight across and coming out to Verdin south of Mr. Taylor's property is not feasible because of the bad soils. Mr. Taylor - asked what happens to his property value when the road goes in and he is left wìtnïbuildings that are virtually useless, and after the County takes the additional frontage on Verdin which takes his shade trees so there is a sight line to the south. He will also end up with the smallest lot in the entire area. Mr. Taylor also explained how he had used the buildings and land over the years, allowing Mr. Ralph Lund's tenant to use his buildings for his animals. He purchased a hobby farm and is ending up with Regular City Council Meeting June 19, 1984 - Minutes Page 3 (Lund's Evergreen Estates Second Addition Preliminary Plat, Continued) a two-acre plot in the urban development with hobby farm buildings, with no access to land, and a 14-year promise that will be negated by the constructionbfa road on his north line. Council discussion noted that Mr. Taylor is ending up with what he originally purchased, that there really is nothing the City can do. The Attorney again advised that he saw no claim that would jeopardize the City approving the plat. The agreement is a civil matter between Mr. Taylor and Mr. Lund. Council then discussed the plat itself. Mr. Schrantz explained the Park and Recreation Commission's recommendation to accept four acres of park with the developer given credit for grading 2.85 acres for a ballfield. They also agreed to give l~ acres of credit -for the open space in the outlot. And they will give 75 percent of the cost of grading the ballfield, with the balance to be paid in cash up front. The park dedication is for the entire property, not just for the first phase. Council questioned the frontage of Lot 17, and it was agreed that Phase I should include the construction of Zion to the property line of Lot 17. MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Orttel, introducing a Resolution approving the ~lTrñinary Plat of Lund's Evergreen Estates Second Addition as being developed by James Lund in Section 16-32-24 with the condition that the Phase 1 boundary be drawn straight across Zion Street. (See Resolution RU47-84) Motion carried unanimously. SPECIAL USE PERMIT - J. LALIBERTE MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Lachinski, introducing a Resolution approving a Special Use Permit for the purpose of operating an automobile repair garage at 16191 Round Lake Boulevard (Lot 1, Block 1, Westview Industrial Park) (See Resolution R048-84) Motion carried unanimously. LOT SPLIT - R. MANSK MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, introducing a Resolution approving a Lot Split under the provisions of Ordinance No. 40 for Lot 6, Block 2, Lakeview Terrace as requested by Robert Mansk, including a variance for lot depth of three feet, as prepared. (See Resolution R049-84) Motion carried unanimously. DNR (RUM RIVER) Molly Comeau and Kent Lockesmoe from the DNR were present. Mayor Windschitl explained the problem the City is encountering with the interpretation of the Scenic River Ordin- ance as to what can or cannot be done by property owners along the river. He noted some of the problems encountered by residents, stating it has the appearance of having some effect on real estate values. He stated that it has been understood that a resident is allowed to cut any trees under four inches in diameter. Ms. Comeau - stated yes, brush and trees under 4 inches can be cut as long as they ma1ntaln the canopy and it is not screening a structure on the river. They can selectively cut but cannot clear cut. They can cut dead trees down, but need to get a vegetative cutting permit from the City. Councilman Elling noted the problems encountered by Mr. Cvetich as to the construction of a road to get to an island on his property, his being told he cou,ld not cut the dead trees, the court order to remove a tree that had fa llen over the bank of the ri ver, and other prob lems. Councilman Elling questioned whether different individuals from the DNR are coming out and giving different information to the residents. Mr. Lockesmoe - stated the person responsible from his office for anything on the Rum River is Ms. Comeau. The other areas of the City other than the Rum River area would involve John Stein. - -, Regular City Council Meeting June 19, 1984 - Minutes Page 4 (DNR - Rum River, Conti nued) Mayor Windschitl stated Mr. Cvetich actually lives on the Cedar Creek, which has been brought into the Scenic River classification. Ms. Comeau stated Cedar Creek is a tributary and is included. Mayor Windschitl asked if the DNR had a list of what can or cannot be done in the district that would simplify the interpretation of the ordinance. DNR representatives noted a pamphlet sent to the City some time ago. Several Councilmembers were not aware of the pamphlet. Councilman Elling felt this pamphlet should be sent to each of the residents in the district. Council also noted the problem of people purchasing expensive pieces of property along the river only to find out they are severely restricted on the use of that property, the argument being that it is in effect a confiscatory issue since they basically have no benefits or rights to the property. Councilman Elling asked if the Corps of Engineers is also involved with the ordinance. Mr. Lockesmoe - stated the Corps of Engineers has no direct relationship with this pro- gram other than being informed of permit applications. But the Corps has a lot of discretionary authority that they can exert. On the taking issue, he thought the question is whether or not there is a reasonable use left of the property, which is subject to some interpretation. In discussing Mr. Cvetich's problem to construct a road to the island, Mr. Lockesmoe stated a permit was issued to Mr. Cvetich to retain the fill he had placed and to put in a culver to allow for passage of water. A letter was sent to Mr. Cvetich in August stating the placing of the fill was in violation of the ordinance and could be construed as a criminal violation. Mr't~¥etich made application, which the DNR issued the permit to allow for the retèntioñ of ill with a culvert. Mr. Schrangz thought one of the problems Mr. Cvetich had was the thought that the water is stagnant and a culvert is not needed. Discussion was then on the issue of a resident placing a dock on the river and the DNR threat to the City of a mandamus action to support the ordinance, an action which was not very well received by the City. Ms. Comeau - stated the resident did not build a dock, which is allowed, but a deck which overhangs the river by three feet. Mr. Lockesmoe - stated the Department requires permits for permanent docks which will stay ln the r1ver year round. No permit is required if the dock is capable of being removed on a seasonal basis. They probably would not grant a permit for a permanent dock because the current is so fast in that area. Ms. Comeau - explained in this case the deck is at least 6 feet from the river and is not something a boat could be tied to. He would be allowed to put in the stairway to the river and a removable dock. Ms. Comeau also stated the resident was told he could put down a stairway and landing of 5x5 feet. But he has instead put up a huge deck of about 15xlO feet. Mayor Windschitl asked if residents are allowed to mow grass along the river bank. Mr. Lockesmoe - stated yes, that is permissible. He thought the Department could prepare an understandable list as to what can or cannot be done along the river. Councilman Elling stated what is being heard here and what was heard from the residents is totally opposite, wondering if different people from the DNR are giving conflicting information to the residents. Mr. Lockesmoe - stated some of that may have happened in the past. But he has since changed the admlnistration of his Department and have people working in a specific area now. Mayor Windschitl stated what makes the matter worse is across the river in Ramsey, because of the different classification on the lots, they are not as restricted. Rêgular City Council Meeting June 19, 1984 - Minutes Page 5 (DNR - Rum River, Continued) Mr. Lockesmoe - stated until he knows specifically who Mr. Cvetich has been dealing wlth 1n the Department, he is at a loss to provide a satisfactory answer to the concerns. It was agreed that the DNR will draft a list of restrictions that could be used by the City to inform residents. Recess at 8:45; reconvene at 9:UO p.m. SENIOR CITIZEN CENTER - ACCEPTANCE Mayor Windschitl reviewed the problems the Council had with the Senior Citizen Center, feeling overall a very poor job was done. Brad Lemberg from Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik, and Associates, stated those items were new to him. He knew of many things that were not done to plans and specifications. They were not inspecting the project except for periodical inspections when they were called. Mayor Windschitl asked why is it being recommended to make the final payment on the Center. The Clerk stated Mr. Maylan has inspected the Center and has said it has been built according to specifications. Mr. Lemberg stated they have repeatedly written letters to the contractor, but the staff has told him the items he had objected to were acceptable. The Clerk stated the only item the staff accepted was the uneven stain over filled holes. Mr. Schrantz didn't think any of the staff had given final approval of the Center. Council, staff, and engineers then made a visual inspection of the Center noting the following inadequancies in'the building: * leak in ceiling in back of the center * rough finish on cabinets and doors * bow on cabinet door in front ôf electrical panel * electrical panel not built to specifications * air conditioning and heating not functioning properly in office * diverter on roof above the outside door to office needed * poor paint job on doors and frames * locks chiseled into cabinets * no light switch in hallway of main entrance to the Center * water stains on ceiling tiles in kitchen * uneven stain on kitchen cabinets * appears'to have used seconds on paneling * insulation around doors inadequate * door closers on original doors inadequate * poor glueing on corner trim * inconsistent type of trim used for different doors * question whether there is enough outlets in the kitchen to meet code Mr. Lemberg then recommended not making the final payment at this time and that another meeting with the contractor and bonding company be held to cover these items. Mayor Windschitl suggested the City Attorney notify the bonding company and Marcus of the deficiencies in the building, asking for a resolution of the problems. MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Knight, to so move. Motion carried unanimously. CEDAR CREST POND/DEHN'S ADDITION FLOODING PROBLEM/SONSTEBY'S DRAINAGE Mr. Scrantz reviewed his June 12, 1984, memo relative to the flooding of the Cedar Crest pond and the high water in the southeast corner of Dehn's Addition. It was his opinion that the City had an obligation to solve the problem in Cedar Crest, proposing to place more fill on the back yard of Lot 6. Block 1. Valley View Estates, and to excavate - - Regular City Council Meeting June 19, 1984 - Minutes Page 6 (Cedar Crest Pond/Dehn's Addition Flooding Problem, Continued) Mr. Schrantz stated he was not sure what to do about the water in Dehn's Addition as it covers virtually the entire area southwest of Round Lake. But there is one individual who cannot use his sewer as a result of the high water. And his elevations show that Round Lake is actually one foot higher than the area behind Dehn's. The only solution he knew of would be to rent a pump and pump the water into Round Lake to lower the swamp area approximately one foot. That would help Ms. Sonsteby's problem as well. Council discussed the problem in Dehn's Addition, what caused it and what could be done. It was generally felt at this point it is all natural drainage, that draining that area could be difficult and could in turn cause problems on Round Lake, and that nothing should be done now except watch it very closely. Council generally felt that the City has a responsibility to correct the problem in the Cedar Crest Pond, directing the engineer to obtain cost figures to excavate the pond and place that fill on the back yard affected. 1984 WATER SYSTEMS ANALYSIS John Davidson of TKDA reviewed the report on a Comprehensive Water Plan for the City of Andover, Comm. No. 8133, utilizing the Alternative 2 adopted by the Council which provides for two elevated tanks. He stated the location of the tank was re-analyzed to be relocated at Crosstown and Bunker Lake Boulevards, and it was found the cost of construction would be similiar. Also, in looking at the alternative of the 12-inch main connecting the east and west sides of Coon Creek at approximately 140th Lane, it was found it would not be cost effectively substituted for the 12-inch interconnection along South Coon Creek Drive; and an inadequate gpm of fire flow would be provided. Lastly, the choice between adding another well at this time versus constructing an elevated tank favors the elevated tank. With the existing well and .75 MG tank, approximately 500 acres of developable area at a density of g persons/acre could be served. They have not defined what 500 acres would be included in the system initially. Then adding the second well would add another 333 acres that could be brought into the system. Mr. Davidson noted this basic system provides the needed storage and production at a reasonable cost that could be done by the phasing of the system and be financially feasible. Mr. Davidson suggested the first phase of the system be to pick up the 12-inch stub at Northglen and extend it down Bunker Lake Boulevard on the north side. He also suggested a work session to discuss the policy questions that need to be resolved before they can go into detailed financial planning, such as the area assessment for the schools, the service district boundaries, area and connection charges, financing the storage system, etc. The first phase would cost approximately $322,100 for the extension of the trunk, or a per-acre cost of $1,945 using only the 165.6 acres of Good Value's south of Crosstown Boulevard. There was a brief Council discussion on the acreage and connection charges, several of the Council feeling it would be better to assess both the acreage and connection charge up front. The thought behind the connection charge was to allow for increased usage in multiple areas; however, it was felt that possibly some allowance could still be made for multiples based on population/acre. No final decisions were made this evening. Council also expressed concern ttJatwith just one well and a storage tank, there would be little backup in the event a pump failed in the well or maintenance is required, especially if the residential areas around the landfi 11 needed to be provided water in the near future. It was thought a second well in the vincity of the Hanson Boulevard/ Industrial area could be justified and should be so noted in the report. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, that we carry the Comprehensive Water Plan report . ", .. .. .- .. ., , . ~ Regular City Council Meeting June 19, 1984 - Minutes Page 7 MUNICIPAL STATE AID EASEMENT ACQUISITIONS Attorney Hawkins stated he and the engineer have drafted the documents for the easements. There are about 20 to 25 people involved on the South Coon Creek Drive projects, and it appears there may be some people who will not be willing to donate the easement. He ,exp~ained the law requires dedicated or acquired easements from all the residents along the road because the City has never received such documentation. It was thought that perhaps he should have authorization to begin eminent domain proceedings in those instances so the project is not held up. Otherwise it may very well mean the projects will be delayed until next year. It will probably be known by the end of the week whether there will be a problem in obtaining signed easements. Mr. Schrantz also felt the authorization for eminent domain proceedings could be authorizated for 157th Avenue as well in the event it is needed. Council discussed the potential problems and what a delay would mean to the project. Mr. Hawkins advised that it is a three-month delay before the City would have a right to work on the property if it goes through the courts. Council felt the attorney and engineer should make every attempt to negotiate the easement acquisitions; and if there is a problem, authorization for eminant domain proceedings could be considered at the July 11 meeting or, if necessary, at a special meeting. BAYER KENNEL LICENSE MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, that we approve the renewal of the special use perm1t for the Bayer Kennel License at 165Z 151st Avenue. Motion carried unanimously. HAWK RIDGE LEASE (GANGELHOFF) MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Orttel, that we approve the contract for hay for $19S. Mot1on carried unanimously. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, that we authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the contract with Gangelhoff for the leasing of the park. Motion carried unanimously. MSA STREET PARKING RESOLUTIONS - 161ST, 157TH, SOUTH COON CREEK DRIVE MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, that the Council approve the Resolutions for South Coon Creek Drive, l6lst Avenue, and 157th Avenue dealing with no parking on Municipal State Aid Streets as presented. (See Resolution R050-84, South Coon Creek Drive; R051-84, 161st Avenue; and ROS2-84, lS7th Avenue) Motion carried unanimously. BUILDING DEPARMTENT - CAR WARRANTY Building Official Daye Almgren requested Council approval of a protection plan for the new car. Council discussion was on the cost and coverage, debating whether or not it is worth the expense. MOTION by Orttel, that the Council authorize the $470 funds from the budget contingency fund to go toward paying a 48-month, SO,OOO-mile warranty on the Building Official's car. Motion dies for lack of a Second. A majority of the Council did not feel the vehicle should require that type of maintenance in three to five years and did not want to expend the funds for the protection plan. No further Council action was taken. FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT Fire Chief Frank Stone presented copies of the engineer's proposed change for the intersection of County 58 and County 7 which could better accommodate the proposed fire ~ Regular City Council Meeting June 19, 1984 - Minutes Page 8 (Fire Department Report, Continued) station in that area. The county has indicated they would agree to the change and would construct it if the City would acquire the right of way. Council generally had no problem with the proposal if some agreement can be negotiated with the property owner. Chief Stone also noted the Circus that is being sponsored by the Fire Department will be in town Thursday, June 28. They will set up in the field between the City Hall and Public Works Building. Chief Stone stated with the addition of the new station, he is considering a request for 1985 to increase the membership of the Department from 35 to 45. At the present time he has no members on the reserve, but he has the capability of having 10 reserve members. Chief Stone also stated he is requesting the developers of the shopping center to have a fire lane in front of the buildings rather than allow parking right next to it. But the developers are not pleased with that proposal. Chief Stone stated he is going to investigate the matter further to find out what State rules regulate the parking in front of such buildings, noting other cities require fire lanes in front of schools, churches, and retail centers. POLICE PROTECTION Mayor Windschitl explained the problem of deputies from Andover having to leave the City to cover problems in East Bethel since East Bethel has reduced their coverage to day coverage on ly. He felt this is unreasonable and has talked with the Sheriff about it, but he asked for some direction from the Council as to whether to take a position of not having Andover deptuies leave the City or only on a second or third level backup. Council generally felt that the City is paying for a specific amount of protection and that the car should not leave the City unless absolutely warranted. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, introducing a Resolution to the County Sheriff 1ndlcating that the City of Andover does not want its protection reduced except in emergencies on a second or third level for outside the City of Andover. Moti on carried unanimously. COON CREEK WATERSH~D MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, that we authorize the City Clerk to advertise for persons for the Watershed Advisory Board. Motion carried unanimously. Council briefly discussed the formula in the joint powers agreement for paying for the construction of the regional ponds, again feeling it is unfair to Andover. Suggestions were to have Andover collect the costs itself so it could be done in a more equitable manner, collecting the fees as a part of the building permit process, or have the developers pond on site if possible. No decisions were made at this time. APPROVAL OF CLAIMS MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Lachinski, that we approve Checks 7990 through 8054 for a total of $39,281.20. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 11:47 p.m. , Respectfully submitted, 'or) ~<.::L \ C~ C\. '~\-~ Ma~a A. Peach ,. D~~~_~~~_ ~~___~__..
