This item was turned in late and may not have gotten on the published agenda. Also add Item No. Se (Change Order-84-6) Item No. 4a - Woodland Terrace/Preliminary Plat Enclosed is the Planning & Zoning Commission recommendation for approval of the Plat and the Special Use Permit allowing development of the Plat under the provisions of Ordinance No. 8, Planned Unit Development. There has been considerable resident objection from existing property owners on making this street a through street from the proposed development. The P&Z is recommending a turnaround be constructed; and that it not be constructed with the idea of pushing it through. A final figure on park dedication will be available at the time of the filing of the Final Plat. A percentage of land is being dedicated, with the balance of the requirement to be made up in cash. At this time the figure is estimated to be approximately $21,000. We are presently waiting for correspondence from the City Assessor as to valuation. All density and open space requirements have been met for both the SUP and Plat. It is recommended a resolution be approved for the SUP and the Preliminary Plat (the final draft of the preliminary after making the P&Z recommended changes has not been received, therefore, the resolution cannot yet be prepared) . Item No. 4b - Majestic Meadows/Preliminary Plat The Preliminary Plat for Majestic Meadows was reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission, however, the Public Hearing was continued to allow the Developer to make the required changes and additions to the Pre-Plat. The Plat did come with a variance request for lot width on the proposed Lot 1 fronting on Andover Boulevard; the Planning and Zoning Commission is recommending approval of this request at this time. The Developer has prepared a separate deed on the property using a metes and bounds description to be recorded in the event the Plat was dropped. This would, then, essentially be a lot split. I will prepare a resolution approving the variance with a provision requiring the applicant to formally secure a lot split if the Plat is not approved or continued; and that the applicant shall furnish us with a copy of the Quit Claim Deed and legal description of the one lot. Agenda Information April 16, 1985 Meeting Page 2 Item No. 4c - Adopt Zoninq Map The map you received with your Packets on April 2 is ready to be adopted and is correct--except, a parcel of property owned by K. Slyzuk is not shown as approved and zoned AgP. The motion for approval should include a statement that the approval is contingent upon the addition of PIN 22 32 24 42 0002 as AgP. Item No. 4d - Watershed Discussion The Coon Creek Watershed people have requested time on the agenda to visit with the Council on the various items dealing with ditch repair and developers' fees. Enclosed is a copy of the Joint Powers Agreement from the Watershed Board. We did not receive the Exhibit "All as referenced in the document. It has been requested from the Watershed Board. I would assume this to be the same attachment as that furnished with the Joint Powers 1984 Agreement. Item No. 4e - Approve Plans & Specifications/IP85-1 Enclosed is a memorandum from the City Engineer recommending approval of the Plans and Specification for IP85-1 (Aztec Street). A resolution indicating such approval and directing advertisement for bids is attached. Item No. 4f - Approve Plans & Specifications/IP85-5 Enclosed is a memorandum from the City Engineer recommending approval of the Plans and Specifications for IP85-5 (Woodland Terrace). The developer has deposited $27,000 to cover the preparation of these plans. A resolution is attached for approval and directing advertisement for bids. Item No. 4q - Approve Plans & Specifications/IP85-7 Enclosed is a memorandum from the City Engineer recommending approval of the Plans and Specifications for IP85-7 (Northglen 5th). The developer has deposited $15,000 to cover Plans and Specifications for preparation of these plans. A resolution is attached for approval and directing advertisement for bids. Item No. 4h - Water Study/District 2 John Davidson of T.K.D.A. has completed the study on the extension of water to serve the area east of Bunker Lake Boulevard/Crosstown Boulevard. He would like to review this with you. Item No. 5a - Adopt Utility Budget Enclosed is the proposed utility Budget including the changes made by the Council through April 2. You will note, that in order to make the budget balance it was necessary for me to include a transfer from the Water Connection Charge Fund (See Revenues: 39200) . The difference in salaries taken from the fund and transferred to other General Fund Departments will not show in the General Fund Budget inasmuch as that Budget has been adopted and set for print. Agenda Comments Apr il 16 Regular Meeting Page 3 Item No. 5b - Adopt Closing Policy This item is continued from previous meetings and covers the emergency closing of City Offices. Item No. 5c - LMC Meeting Enclosed is an agenda covering topics to be discussed at the meeting. You will note some sessions on Economic Development. Reservations must be made by May 1 to receive the reduced rate. Item No. 5d - Select Logo This item is continued from the April 2 Meeting.

Funding for this will be taken from the 1985 Park Department allocation for Capital Outlay. Item No. 6b - Fire Department The Fire Department is interested in purchasing the old Anoka ladder truck. Item No. 6c - Public Works Department 1 ) Authorize to Sell Overload Equipment - Enclosed is a listing from Frank Stone of various small articles of equipment no longer used by the Department. Included are typewriters, etc. A motion is needed to allow us to advertise them in the local paper. 2) Used Oil Storage Tank - This item has been discussed at several meetings. It is recommended that at this time if an agreement cannot be reached with the salvage yard people that a tank be installed at the public works building to at least accomodate the waste oil from public works. 3) Award Contract for Frontend Loader and Van - This is continued from previous meetings. The Case Loader was bid the lowest, and offer the best buy-back. See enclosed memo from the City Engineer. Item No. 7 - Approval of Minutes March 19, April 2 Enclosures ~ 01 ANDOVER REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - APRIL 16, 1985 MINUTES The Regular Bi-Monthly Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by Mayor Jerry Windschitl on April 16, 1985, 7:30 p.m., at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota. Councilmen present: Elling, Knight, Lachinski, Orttel Councilmen absent: None Also present: City Attorney, William G. Hawkins; City Engineer, James Schrantz; Planning and Zoning Commissioner, Maynard Apel; City Clerk/A. Administrator, P. K. Lindquist; and others RESIDENT FORUM John Lawrence, 14516 Round Lake Bouelvard - complained about the speed along Round Lake Boulevard and the dlfflculty he has getting out of his driveway onto the road because of the traffic situation. He stated it is a very unsafe situation because of the fast speed at which people drive and with the increasing number of people moving to the area; and he related incidents that have happened to him relative to trying to exit onto Round Lake Boulevard from his driveway. With the warm weather coming, there will be increased bicyclers, joggers, etc., along the road; and he feared for the safety of the people along that road. Mr. Lawrence asked that the Council do whatever is necessary to reduce the speed limit in that area and to have the road policed more. Council noted they had requested the State to do a study for reducing the speed limit along there; however, it was not known what progress has been made to date. The speed limits cannot be lowered without the State's approval. Council directed the Engineer to contact the State to see what progress has been made on the study and agreed to address it at the next meeting if need be. Steve Wood, 145th Avenue - asked the City's plans for park development, especially for the Auditor's Subdivision 82 area. Mr. Schrantz stated the equipment for that park has already been ordered and received. They have had some problems getting the park graded to the City's satisfaction, but he felt the equipment should be installed before the summer has ended. AGENDA APPROVAL MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, to adopt the Agenda as published with the addltion of 4aa, Board of Review Continuation; 5h, Water Study; 4e, Change Order - IP84-6. Motion carried unanimously. BOARD OF REVIEW CONTINUATION MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Knight, that property owner Mark Smith, PIN 28 32 24 34 0032, valuation be changed from $75,300 to $67,400 due to an error in the Assessor's review of the property. Motion carried unanimously. Raymond Skotte, PIN 33 32 24 12 0027 - No Council action taken, noting the Assessor's recommendation that the estlmated market value remain at $66,100. MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Elling, to close the Local Board of Review. Motion carried unanimously. Board of Review closed at 7:45 p.m. Regular City Council Meeting April 16, 1985 - Minutes Page 2 WOODLAND TERRACE - PRELIMINARY PLAT Commissioner Maynard Apel reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve the preliminary plat along with the special use permit allowing for the development of the plat under the procedure of O'tdinance 8, Planned Unit Development. Mayor Windschitl noted the Park Board would like to acquire all of the parkland in the first phase. However, the developer needs to bring the sewer line across the edge of the park property to serve the second phase. He asked the Attorney if that would be allowed. Attorney Hawkins didn't think it would be a problem as long as it is done under an easement. Mayor Windschitl stated there is also a question with the proposed well and pumphouse location within the plat. He asked the Attorney if they could be placed on dedicated parkland. Attorney Hawkins felt it would be better as an outlot rather than on dedicated parkland. Or show it as a utility easement area to be able to gain access to it. Mr. Davidson stated they can be placed on the outlot that is next to the dedicated parkland. The outlot in this case is for storage and ponding. They must also maintain a physical distance between the sewer line and the well itself. There was also the thought that the pumphouse potentially could be included as a park shelter if the City chooses to combine the wellhouse and park shelter. Mayor Windschitl also explained he and Mr. Sschrantz met with representatives of the City of Coon Rapids last evening. On Rose Street in the southern portion of the plat, Coon Rapids would prefer it to be a cuI de sac rather than extended southward to Coon Rapids. They have a higher density zone just south of this plat, and they felt it would be in everyone's interest if that street were not a through street. Council agreed. Larry Carlson, developer, stated he would agree to that if it is better for City trafflc. Mayor Windschitl stated Coon Rapids had no trouble with Narcissus and Marigold being a through street to their City. On Lily Street, the consensus at Coon Rapids was to have that street come through. There was some discussion about coming into Lily Street from the west via the outlot; however, it is only 20 feet off the property line in Coon Rapids. The Mayor also felt there was more easement on the existing Lily Street than what is needed to construct the road. And oace a determination is made as to what will be done, any additional easement can be vacated and turned back to the property owners. Edsel Wicklund - also felt there may be excessive easement for the road on his side. Another concern is if the road goes on the present alignment, it will cut off a portion of the property across from him. John Trygstad - thought his house is about 25 feet from the edge of the easement. He also constructed his house assuming it was a cuI de sac. Mr. Wicklund - stated he is pleased to see the development of this property but is concerned about the plans for Lily Street. The reason he bought the property at the end of Lily Street is because it was a designated cuI de sac. As the plans for this development evolved, he learned that the end of Lily Street was a concern for Coon Rapids. His concern as a homeowner is if a cuI de sac is a desirable piece of property, it is upsetting to learn that Coon Rapids was interested in making it a through street via this development. He asked the Council if Coon Rapids is to adapt to this development, that concern should be given as to how that connection should be made, proposing the possibility of tying in to the development via Marigold closer to Kerry once development took place in Coon Rapids. He had no objection to connecting to the Woodland Terrace Plat, but he would like to retain the cuI de sac because it is a more desirable piece of property. Regular City Council MeetIng April 16, 1985 - Minutes Page 3 (Woodland Terrace - Preliminary Plat, Continued) Mayor Windschitl stated the proposal to tie into Kerry Street was addressed at the meeting last night. Mr. Schrantz explained how all the traffic was looked at in this area, that 131st will probably be the main access for Coon Rapids into the area, but that they would still like to have the availability of emergency vehicJes going through on Lily Street. Double cuI de sacs were talked about but rejected because of the maintenance problems. As development occurs in Coon Rapids, the connection with Kerry Street would improve the situation. Mayor Windschitl explained at this point the developer's responsibility is to get to the boundary of the plat, so the road would be constructed up to the end of his property. The one difficulty Coon Rapids has is they are dealing with the unknown as to when the property south of this plat will be developed. Dennis Swoke, 13278 Lily - noted the comments that the City of Coon Rapids wants this road to go through. But hefelt it is important to consider the petition signed where all but one person did not want Lily Street to be extended. They went to the Coon Rapids Council meeting last week, and it was agreed to set up a meeting between the Andover and Coon Rapids residents. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to get that meeting set up; so they can't make any change in the recommendation based on the residents' comments, feeling things are moving too fast for the people in Coon Rapids. It is actually the planning staff in Coon Rapids that want this street to go through, not the residents. Mayor Windschitl stated he didn't know what arrangements Coon Rapids had with the residents, but he did meet with the Coon Rapids staff and at least one elected official last night on this project. Mr. Schrantz stated the portion in question is actually in the second phase of the plat where the street would be con- structed to the property line. At that same time public hearings could be held for the remaining portion of Lily Street to Andover's boundary to determine what improvement should be done, either cuI de sac or through street. Mr. Swoke - was concerned that as the recommendation is made to put the road through and once the plat is approved, it is difficult to get that decision turned around later on. The residents are concerned about that in the future. Mayor Windschitl stated at this time the alignment that would be approved would be that which the develoepr would be required to build. The only open question that would exist at the time it is constructed would be to serve the four Andover residents as to whether it would be a through street or a cuI de sac. And if at the time development occurs in Coon Rapids and another access is found for this area, the possibility of constructing a cuI de sac on Lily would be considered. Mr. Swoke - thought the second phase of this plat would be completed before the other property is developed. Mr. Carlson stated he owns about 45 acres in Coon Rapids and is barred from developing that property at this time. Councilman Orttel stated it has always been a policy of Andover that there would be a direct hookup into that area to service the Andover residents. As it is now, emergency vehicles have to go over two miles out of the City to service these residents; and it has always been the intent to provide access to them. Mr. Schrantz stated it doesn't serve any of Andover's transportation needs to have Lily Street a through street. All the City wants to do is to be able to serve the four residents on that street. A through street is actually more desirable for the City of Coon Rapids to provide another access into that area. Mr. Loftus - wanted it made clear that there is an objection by all but two of the resldents, including those'.inAndover, for Lily to be a through street. He noted the meetings they attended both in Andover and at the Coon Rapids City Council meeting, and the meeting that was suggested between the residents and Coon Rapids planners, staff, and Council. He felt with that strong of an objection from the residents, that Regular City Council Meeting April 16, 1985 - Minutes Page 4 (Woodland Terrace - Preliminary Plat, Continued) there should be some satisfaction for that unrest. He understood that with the concrete curb and gutter street, they would also be getting sewer and temporary water from Andover, and they don't want to have to pay for all that. Whatever decision is made, it affects the populace. Council noted there has been no discussion about Andover providing water for the Coon Rapids resident$,outside of the possibility of Andover and Coon Rapids trading some water capabilities in some areas of the City. Those issues are between the Coon Rapids resident and their city council. Council discussed the Lily Street situation. Councilman Lachinski felt the City needs to either put Lily Street through to service the four Andover residents or consider the possibility of annexing those properties to Coon Rapids and let them be served by Coon Rapids. Discussion returned to the location of the well and pumphouse. Mr. Davidson stated only a 100 x 100-foot parcel would be needed. Council felt it should be located on the outlot rather than on parkland. Mr. Carlson stated the outlot would be dedicated to the City for drainage and utility, but he wouldn't have any problem transferring fee title of the land. Mr. Adams stated the line for the first phase will be extended down to get the sewer line to those parcels; therefore, the City will not have a problem with access to the well and pumphouse:.site. Councilman Ellin9 noted items on the sketch that were not corrected according to the platting ordinance, curb radii, corner radii, etc. Mr. Schrantz stated there are typicals for those, and they will be on the final plat. Councilman Elling also questioned whether Andover will be picking up the charge for the Anoka watershed for draining into it. Mr. Schrantz stated there is a meeting with City of Anoka represen- tatives tomorrow, and he thought whatever charge there may be would be paid for by the developer. Council noted the Planning Commission recommended Lot 9, Block 14 on Marigold Street to the north to exit onto Narcissus rather than the frontage road. Mr. Carlson then presented an overlay of the cuI de sac of Marigold Street turning to the other direction, which eliminates the Planning Commission's concern. And they will then be able to catch the sewer stub in place. He requested the plat approval be with that overlay rather than what is presented in the sketch. Council agreed. Mr. Carlson also stated they will have to do some tree removal within the easement on 133rd so they can have access to the property, asking if they need Council approval to do so. Mr. Schrantz stated he had no problem with that as long as he doesn't expect to be reimbursed for the work and as long as they stay within the right of way. Mr. Carlson also asked that the wellhouse building be well done to fit in with the decor of the neighborhood. Mr. Davidson stated for the previous well house, an architect worked with the developer to achieve the same type of architecture. Mr. Carlson asked that they be allowed to do the same. Discussion then returned to the Lily Street situation. Mr. Wicklund - stated the Andover residents have no objections to being connected to thlS partlcular development, but are objecting to losing the assets of living on a cuI de sac. He suggested if Lily Street were extended through Woodland Terrace to the four residents in Andover, that a barrier be put between the natural boundary of Andover and Coon Rapids. It would satisfy the Coon Rapids residents who don't want the road to go through. It would satisfy the City of Andover who wants to serve the four Andover residents, and it would serve the Andover residents because they would still have their cuI de sac. Regular City Council Meeting April 16, 1985 - Minutes Page 5 (Woodland Terrace - Preliminary Plat, Continued) Jim Larson, Lily Street - agreed. After further discussion, the Council and affected residents generally agreed that Lily Street would be constructed down to serve the last two properties in Andover, terminating with a cuI de sac. It would be left open between Andover and Coon Rapids until such time as Kerry Street in Coon Rapids is constructed. Then it would be barricaded off as a cuI de sac street. Mr. Schrantz explained the four Andover residents will be asked to consider the improvements of sewer, water, and streets when a public hearing is called. Mr. Trystad - asked that when the road is constructed that there be adequate setbacks from hlS house to the road. Council suggested it may be possible to offset the actual road construction~within the easement so he has a normal setback off the road. Those details can be worked on whenever, a project is ordered. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, introducing a Resolution approving the Preliminary Plat of Woodland Terrace and Special Use Permit to allow the plat as a PUD as prppared with thp followinn additions: that the sixth WHERFAS. be "WHEREAS the outlot drainage area in the southwest corner of PHase I be transferred by fee title to a 11 ow for placement of a we 11 house", and a seventh WHFREAS, "WHFREAS such approva I i~ ba~ed on revi,ions on Marignld Street in the north of the olat as presented on 4-16-85"; add another "NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that permission be granted for the developer to clear right of wav known as 133rd Lane NW outsirle the plat at his own expense to be used as access to the prooerty." (See Resolution R025-85) Motion carried unanimously. MOTION bv Orttel, Seconded by Knioht. that the City Clerk draft a Resolution relating to the completion of Lily Street noting that Lilv Street be extended to the southerly most point of the Citv of Andover, and at that point a cuI de sac be constructed; and and at such time as Lily Street in Coon Rapids has another access, that Lily Street be barricaded at its southern point and remain a cuI de sac. (See Resolution R02fi-85) Motion carried unanimously. MAJESTIC MFADOWS - PRELIMINARY PLAT/VARIANCE MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Lachinski, introducing a Resolution approving a Variance on lot width as reuqested by J. Perry for Lot 1, Block 1 of the propo-¡ed Majestic Meadows development as prepared with the addition of a NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED should state that the proposed Lot 1, Block 1 shall be included in parkland calculations when the plat is finally approved. (See Resolution R027-85) Motion carried unanimously. Recess at 9:00; reconvene at 9:10 p.m. ;WATERSHED DISCUSSION The following Coon Creek Watershed representatives were present: Chairman, Mel Schulte. Ken Slyzuk, Loren Hendges, Al Sannerud, Gary Beck, and Engineer Harold Israelson. Mr. Schulte stated in meeting with the other cities regarding the proposal to split the assessment for pondina between developers and existing properties within the District, those cities opposed the idea. They felt if the developers are causing the problem, they should pay for it totally and not go back to existing oronerry owners for that cost. Reg~ lar City Council Meeting April· 16, 1985 - Minutes Page 6 (Watershed Discussion, Continued) Ms. Lindquist stated the proposal was also presented at the Finance Committee, and both Blaine and Coon Rapids staff were opposed to the idea. But it was to be brought up before their City Councils. Mr. Hendges stated the people in Blaine understood Andover's position but did not think they could conform to the proposal to split the ponding assessment between developers and existing properties. They were more in favor of the original formula that was developed. Mayor Windschitl noted it was a good-faith effort by a lot of people to try to resolve this problem. He illustrated the problem with the original formula of how an un- developed parcel of property could end up paying approximately twice as much as currently developed property. That is why the 60 percent/40 percent formula was proposed. That 60/40 percent formula was approved by the Andover Council. Mr. Schulte stated whatever formula is used, it must be used for all the cities so everyone is treated equally. Mayor Windschitl understood, but suggested another method might be to calculate each city's fair share of the ponding. He didn't think Anddver would have a problem with that, because the numbers under the current formula indicate Andover is paying more for the watershed than the City should be assessed for. He felt the figures could be calcuated on some factor of agricultural development in the City, the percentage of undeveloped property, and the portion of the City that is already developed. By equating the density factor to the development, a fair amount for each city can be determined. He stated the City is only trying to determine what Andover's fair share is. Mr. Hendges suggested the four cities meet with their staff to work out an equitable formula and policy on ponding. After discussing this further, Council and Watershed Board members agreed to have Mr. Sannerud arrange a meeting with the Mayors and City Engineers of all four cities and the Watershed staff. Mr. Schulte informed the Council the Viewers are now looking at Ditches 20, 23, and 37. The Ditch 57 hearing is still in continuance until that comes back. They are also looking at numbers on the areas the City assessed storm drainage to because they were not allowed to drain into Coon Creek. Mayor Windschitl stated whenever that is completed, the Council can comment on the findings. Mayor Windschitl stated one of the main questions has been on the purpose and justification for the cleaning of the ditches; and he felt the documentation they have received will be helpful. Mr. Schulte also presented a letter which will go to property owners along the affected ditches explaining what is happening, history about the ditches, etc. Discussion noted such information would be helpful if sent to all affected property owners and that a better explanation be given property owners when the public hearing notice of the ditch repair is mailed out. Watershed Board members again noted the Viewers report for Ditch 57 is being reviewed and will be given to the City as soon as it is completed. APPROVAL PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS/IP85-5 MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Orttel, a Resolution approving Final Plans and Speclfications and Ordering Advertisement for bids for Project No. 85-5 for watermain, sanitary sewer, storm drainage and streets with concrete curb and gutter in the area of Woodland Terrace Addition, Phase I, as prepared. (See Resolution R028-85) Motion carried unanimously. Regular City Council Meeting April 16, 1985 - Minutes Page 7 APPROVE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS/IP85-7 MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Orttel, a Resolution approving Plans and Specifications and ordering advertisement for bids for Project No. 85-7, for watermain, sanitary sewer, storm drainage and streets with concrete curb and gutter in the area of Northglen 5th Addition. (See Resolution R029-85) Motion carried unanimously. APPROVE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS/IP85-1 Mr. Schrantz reviewed the plans and specifications for the street construction of Aztec and I80th. He explained the proposal is to crown Aztec. That water on the east side will all drain to the north and pond. On the west side it will drain to the north and onto 180th, where it will round the cuI de sac and off. They have worked out an agreement with the two property owners to construct an 18-inch PVC pipe to a clearing and into the backwater of the river. The property owners have agreed to dedicate the easement. He will see if a DNR permit is required for that. Mr. Schrantz stated one other concern they had is drainage from the property east of Aztec. It is not known how those lots will develop, and potentially there could be excess drainage to the pond on the north once it is developed. If that occurs, he felt the street can be cut and a concrete swale installed to deliver the water down to the pipe on 180th. The pipe will be big enough to handle that extra water. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, introducing a Resolution approving Final Plans and Specifications and ordering advertisement for bids for Project No. 85-1, for street construction in the area of Aztec Street and 180th Lane, as prepared. (See Resolution R030-85) Motion carried unanimously. WATER STUDY John Davidson, TKDA, stated building permits from the Northglen area are coming in more rapidly than anticipated. By the end of summer, based on new construction, it is expected some kind of watering ban will be needed. If the well and pumphouse in the Woodland Terrace area were constructed as proposed, it would be the end of summer before the well would be up and running and the watermains put into the system. That well and pumphouse, along with a 250,000-gallon storage tank, are built into the capabilities of Service District No. I. It looks feasible to increase the storage tank to 500,000 gallons if the additional Service District No.2 to the east is constructed. But it is his opinion that the construction of the well and pumphouse should be ordered at this time. He estimated that would be a cost of $280,000, and those costs are covered by connection charges in Water Service District No.1. Right now the City would bond and assess for those funds. Council discussed the need for the well and pumphouse and expressed concern as to how the costs will be recovered, because there is so much area that has not yet developed and connection charges have not been collected to date on those properties. Mr. Davidson stated everything with Service District 1 is financially sound. A public hearing would not need to be held to construct the second well and pumphouse. The bond would be paid off within the next 15-year period by assessing connection charges up front as the new developments come in. As the watermain is extended eastward along Bun~ar Lake Boulevard, there will be lateral, area, and connection charge benefits assessed against those properties. He also separated the figures out between the two Service Districts, as a public hearing would be needed for that extension of the watermain. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Lachinski, that we authorize TKDA to prepare plans and speclfications for adequate well and pumphouse in Water Service District No.1. (See Resolution R031-85) DISCUSSION: Council reviewed the assessment policy for area charges and the change in policy to now assess connection charges as well. Mayor Windschitl Regular City Council Meeting April 16, 1985 - Minutes Page 8 (Water Study, Continued) noted a storage tank will also be needed of a minimum of 250,000 gallons. Mr. Davidson stated without the tank, the additional well will be able to supply twice as many homes as just the one well can. The two wells and tank will serve all of the property to saturation in Service District 1. He estimated a 250,000-tank to cost approximately $330,000 and a 500,000-gallon tank to cost $550,000. Mr. Schrantz also thought a tower is needed now, pointing out there would not be enough water to meet domestic and fire protection needs during the time there is sprinkling of yards because ir is only a pressure system. Council rliscussion was ovpr the payback of the funding for the storage tank. A suqgestion was to bring in all propertv that has not yet been assesspd eithpr area nr cnnnpction charges in Oistrict No. 1 and assess them at this time; however, that would require going through the public hearing process. At this time Mr. Davidson reviewed the feasibility of extending the watermain to Service District No.2. The charges also reflect their portion of a storage tank; and if this area were constructed, the tank would be increased to 500,000 gallons to service both districts. For public hearing purposes, he suggested bringing in property adjacent to the 12-inch line in both service districts. Council questioned the justification for assessing both area and connection charges to the Good Value property when other parcels are only being assessed the area charge. It was then agreed to assess both area and connection charges for water to all developable property within Service District 2, with connection charges based on a theoretical 2.5 units per developable acre. In the event the property is developed at a higher density, an adjustment would be made to the connection charge and the additional amount collected at that time. Councilman Elling stated he talked with Representative Hartinger, who indicated he would be willing to sponsor a bill to get funding for a water system within Andover's well advisory area this Session. Mayor Windschitl stated he had no problem with that except the cutoff for introducing bills for this Session has already passed. Motion carried unanimously.
