Councilmen present: Elling, Knight, Lachinski, Orttel Councilmen absent: None Also present: City Attorney, William G. Hawkins; Planning and Zoning Commission Chairman, Don Jacobson; City Administrator/ Engineer, James Schrantz; and others RESIDENT FORUI1 Gary West, Andover Athletic Association - asked for permission to have one to three small bins to collect newspapers at either the City Hall site or at the Fire Station. He stated their organization would police them, keep the area clean, and make sure the papers are picked up. All the money received for the recycling of the news- papers would go back to the Andover Athletic Association. Council indicated the Administrator would take care of it. Roger Sharon - stated the Andover Athletic Association is in need of more softball fields. They are increasing the program next year to include second and third graders, and they do not have enough fields. Last year they had about 150 children in their programs; next year they expect about 250. Council discussion with the representatives from the AAA was on their needs. Council asked that the AAA provide the information to the City as to the number of fields needed and in what area of the City. Mr. Sharon - stated many of the children are from the southwestern and western portions of the City. They felt they needed approximately four additional fields, and they should be good fields to be used for both games and practice. They also wanted an interpretation as to whether or not they can use city neighborhood parks to practice in. Mayor Windschitl stated he does not know of any restrictions against that. He also suggested the Council meet with the Park Board and the Andover Athletic Association to determine what is needed and just what the City can provide. Carol Lansey, 140th Avenue NW - asked when the City is going to clean up the park in Red Oaks WhlCh still has debris in it from the storm two years ago. Council noted this item is on the agenda this evening. HOME HEALTH CARE WEEK/PROCLAMATION MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, introducing a motion proclaiming December 1 through December 7, 1985, as National Home Health Care Week and authorize the Mayor to sign it. Motion carried unanimously. AGENDA APPROVAL MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, that we approve the Agenda as published with the addition of Items 4j, Hearing Examiner/Nuisance Ordinance; 4k, Good Value Homes/ Road Alignment; 41, Cable Commission Appointment; and 6c, Closed Meeting with Attorney regarding the Carlson Litigation. Motion carried unanimously. - - ~ Regular City Council Meeting December 3, 1985 - Minutes Page 2 ROGER JUNGLEN LOT SPLIT, CONTINUED Roger Jun11en - stated he has not received a price for the road from the Engineer so he cou d provide the City with a bond. So he is going to withdraw his request for the lot split now, stating he will be suing the City in court to get it. Mr. Schrantz stated he had given the figure of $23,000 to construct the road, and the ordinance requires 1\ times that amount to be bonded. He talked with Mr. Junglen's attorney about this, who was to get back to him. And then the matter was continued for several meetings. Mr. Junglen - stated he called to the office several times. He stated by refusing the lot split, the City is denying his right to sell that property. Council stated no action has been taken on his request to date at Mr. Junglen's request. Mr. Junglen - stated the City is asking for something that is not necessary. Council explained the intent of the lot split ordinance is to treat everyone equally, and all other development in the City is required to have road frontage on lots. The result from a lot split should be the same as if the property were platted. Mr. Junglen - stated it is his understanding the City has no legal right to say anything about his property because he is on a county road. He stated he is with- drawing his request for the lot split. Attorney Hawkins advised at this point the Council has nothing to act on. The Council directed the Administrator to determine if there is any unused portion of the lot split fee paid by Mr. Junglen since no Council action was taken on the matter as a result of the withdrawal of the request. HUNTING ORDINANCE BOUNDARY CHANGE Cecil Chester, 15520 Key Street - stated they find shotgun shells in the street in their subdivision and hear firearms being discharged. He stated they do not feel safe taking walks in their area. Counci ld:IT$cussed moving the boundary west of County Road 9 northward to County Road 20. Councilman Elling argued against a boundary change, recommending instead that only the lake be closed. He felt there is enough enforcement in the ordinance to cover the problems in this area. In that way, the entire city is treated the same. Others argued hunting is not allowed in the area being excluded anyway because of the development, and changing the boundary would clarify that. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Lachinski, that we change the boundary of the prohibited huntlng area in the City of Andover to: From Round Lake Boulevard, north to 157th Avenue/County Road 20, then west from Round Lake Boulevard to Seventh Avenue, then north on Seventh Avenue to 159th Avenue, then west to the Rum River. VOTE ON MOT! ON: YES-Knight, Lachinski, Orttel, Windschitl; NO-Elling Motion carried. The Administrator was asked to have the new boundary posted with hunting allowed or hunting prohibited signs. It was also suggested Round Lake be posted "No Hunting on the Lake." CURFEW DISCUSSION Mayor Windschitl stated legally it is difficult to sort through what is acceptable and what is not allowable as it relates to the section in the ordinance: "It shall be unlawful for any person under the age of . . . to be present on any pUblic street, avenue, park or public place in the City of Andover. . . unless there exists a reasonable necessity therefore." -. - Regular City Council Meeting December 3, 1985 - Minutes Page 3 (Curfew Discussion, Continued) Councilman Elling stated the deputies would like to see something like this curfew in effect. Attorney Hawkins advised that technically if there is prima facie evidence that the children are out after curfew, they are violating the ordinance; and it provides the power for criminal prosecution against the child. Mr. Schrantz stated generally the ordinance is in place for the deputy to use if there is a problem. It gives them some authority that they do not have now. Bob Palmer, Fire Chief - personally felt the deputies will not be out looking for chlldren violating the ordinance. But he also felt that they have the authority now to take care of any problem. Councilman Knight stated the county procedure is after three times, the child would have to appear before juvenile authorities. ? - stated before circulating the petition, they talked with Blaine, Coon Raplds, and the City of Anoka. Those cities don't use it to pick up every youth in the street. The ordinance gives them some authority to go up to a youth, tell him of the curfew; and if they have to, cite him. They don't want to see the deputies harassing everyone, but they are having problems in their subdivision, Auditor's Sub. 82; and this gives the deputies some authority to handle the situation. When there is vandalism in their neighborhood, the kids are gone before the police come. They feel this curfew will help, stating it seems to have helped in other cities. He stated as the south side of the City becomes more developed, the problems are and will be getting worse. ? - stated they have groups of 15 to 20 kids roaming the streets; and this provldes the officer with leverage to tell them to go home. She stated it gets to be like a small gang roaming the streets. Councilman Orttel stated if there are groups of kids doing something improper, there are grounds to break it up. This ordinance is vague. The children can be picked up for any reason after 9:30, and he didn't feel that is right. Councilman Lachinski stated the ordinance implies the improprieties are being done by those 19 years old or younger. He didn't think that was necessarily true. Also, this ordinance is only effective on public property. If the children step onto private property, the deputies cannot do any- thing. So he felt this ordinance will not solve all the problems those in favor think it will. Discussion continued with those in the audience arguing the need for the curfew to provide some authority for the deputies to get the kids who are out late at night or potentially causing problems, that enforcement of the curfew would take place when the deputy feels it is needed or warranted, that curfews are in place in other cities and Andover is a growing city, and that a curfew is a necessity and the best solution they know of to reduce their problems of vandalism and groups of youth from being out late at night. Attorney Hawkins had no problem with the ordinance, but noted it is a policy decision on the part of the City as to whetheliDr not it feels there is a problem and whether or not it feels a curfew is needed. d'Arcy Bosell - stated she talked with cities of Blaine, Anoka, and Spring Lake Park. They stated the ordinance is,intentionãl1yvaglJe in regard to "reasonable necessity therefor" because they didn't want to be restricted to a list of specifics. Council generally felt a 9:30 curfew was too early, especially in the summer, and that the ordinance as presented with differing times for under the age of 16, the age of 16, and the age of 17 is complicated. Mr. Chester - felt a lot of children could be out after the curfew without getting lnto trouble. He felt it seems to be harassment. Regular City Council Meeting December 3, 1985 - Minutes Page 4 (Curfew Discussion, Continued) Mrs. Chester - stated the curfew smacks of Nazi imposition of a curfew during the war. She asked if there will be a curfew for adults next? ? - stated it is not geared toward 99\ percent of the children who are lnnocent. It is for control and to give the police more control over those few who are causing the problems. Mayor Windschitl felt the ordinance is being over- sold as a controlling method as to what it can or cannot do. Councilman Orttel noted under the ordinance, even those who are not causing the problems are confined by the regulations. He questioned an ordinance that has built-in selective enforcement standards. Discussion continued with residents again indicating this will help with the vandalism and gangs in their neighborhoods and will provide the police with the leverage needed to deal with that problem. Several Councilmembers were reluctant to institute a curfew, thinking it is seleotive in its enforcement and will not necessarily solve the problems the residents think it will. It was then suggested the ordinance at least be simplified to apply to those persons 16 years of age and under and to raise the curfew hour to 10:30 p.m. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Lachinski, that we direct the City Attorney to draw up an ordinance incorporating the terms in Section 2.2 in the ordinance as presented (Curfew for persons 16 years of age and under Sunday through Thursday, 10:30 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 11:30 p.m.; deleting Sections 2.1 and 2.3); and bring it back for approval at the next meeting. Motion carried unanimously. CROOKED LAKE WARMING HOUSE FUNDING, CONTINUED Betty Nokk - stated she has found someone to donate the lights, poles, and workman- ship to light the ice rink to be used for hockey at Crooked Lake School. The Park Board, at its last meeting, voted to fund the attendant and to maintain the ice rinks at the school. They recommended $2,500 for maintaining the rinks and $600 t pay for the power to the electrical lights. The Park Board didn't feel they had enough in the budget to pay for December; and Ms. Nokk stated she will ask the Advisory Council to pay for the lighting of the hockey rink for December. She stated the Advisory Council is asking the City to be responsible for the attendants at the rinks, the maintenance of the rinks, and to pay for the extra electricity for the extra lights on the hockey rink. The school district will continue to pay for the lights for the warming house and the security light on the free-skating rink. Council asked about the City's liability of maintaining the rinks at the school. Mr. Schrantz was asked to contact the City's insurance carrier to add these rinks to the policy as one more developed park. Melanie DeLuca, Community School Coordinator - explained the policy of the school dlstrict lS that anyone who gets lnJured on the rink is covered by their own personal insurance. If there is negligence on the part of the district, that would be covered by the school district. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, that we authorize the amount up to $2,500 per year-Trom the Park Budget for the funding of salary for the warming house attendant at Crooked Lake School skating rink. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, that the City authorize up to $600 a year from the Park and Recreation Budget to pay for power for the lighting and other needs of the hockey rink at the Crooked Lake School. Motion carried unanimously. Regular City Council Meeting December 3, 1985 - Minutes Page 5 PRAIRIE OAKS PRELIMINARY PLAT Chairman Jacobson reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve the Prairie Oaks Preliminary Plat. They were concerned about the layout of the lots and rejected the idea of having another exit out of the plat. Two variances will be needed: I54th Lane will exceed the allowable length for a cuI de sac and Lot 3, Block 1 will have its lot width measured 105 feet back rather than 40 feet. Councilman Orttel was concerned with not providing another exit out of the plat to allow for orderly development to the properties on either side of this plat. He was concerned that development all along Prairie Road will just be a series of cuI de sacs to the railroad tracks, and he didn't think that was wise in the long run. He preferred making the lots smaller and getting the streets put in. Mr. Schrantz stated they looked at development in the surrounding area and to providing an exit either to the north or south in this plat; but it just did not work. MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Elling, that we approve the Preliminary Plat of Pralrie Oaks as being developed by Robert Grover and Gene Bak and as presented by the Planning and Zoning Commission and agree to the variances requested for the length of the cuI de,sac pursuant to Ordinance 10, Section 9.03G and for Lot 3, Block 1 for the 300-foot width to be measured 105 feet back. (See Resolution R140-85) Motion carried unanimously. CREEKRIDGE ESTATES PRELIMINARY PLAT Chairman Jacobson reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve the Creekridge Estates Preliminary Plat. He stated there has been a lot of concern expressed about the loss of trees on the south side of South Coon Creek Drive. There are two streets entering onto South Coon Creek Drive -- Kerry and Jonquil. It is felt this street alignment would help in the traffic pattern. The County Highway Department does not have a problem with the exiting onto Round Lake Boulevard. from the plat but they do not want those lots exiting directly onto Round lake Boulevard. They are also recommending that all of the lots north of South Coon Creek Drive exit into interior streets. Mr. Jacobson stated in Phase II, the back yards of those lots are in a depression, and the Commission, was concerned that water would collect in those back yards. The Engineer didn't feel there would be any difficulty getting rid of that water. The Commission was assured thereí,would be no standing water on the lots on Block 2. In the northeast corner of Block 1 there are some very large lots. Those five lots will not be served by city sanitary sewer but will be served by water. Mayor Windschitl asked about using Outlot A north of South Coon Creek Drive for park. Merlyn Prochniak, Park Board Chairman, stated they looked at that but found the land is too low and wet to be usable. The area they have chosen is usable for recreational purposes. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by knight, a Resolution approving the Preliminary Plat of Creekridge Estates as being developed by Carlson, Dropps Associations in Section 29-32-24. Note that the plat will be done in two parts, Phase I and Phase II; and that there are some technical drainage details to be worked out in Phase I I. (See Resolution R141-85) DISCUSSION: Mayor Windschitl asked if anything can be done to save the trees on the south side of South Coon Creek Drive. Ken Gust, the developer - stated olÍ' Lots 1 through 4, the front yards and part oTthe right of way wi 11 have some trees taken as water and sewer ate on the south side of the road. But they are planning to put the garages together to save some trees. ._~- Regular City Council Meeting December 3, 1985 - Minutes Page 6 (Creekridge Estates Preliminary Plat, Continued) Mr. Gust stated on Lots 5 through 7, they don't have any grading contours, and they will leave it up to the individual builders to selectively take out trees needed to construct the houses. Mayor Windschitl asked if the City still has the control of getting the speed_ limit down to 30 mph in this area. Mr. Schrantz stated yes. Motion carried unanimously. RESCIND BINGO AND GAMBLIMG ORDINANCE MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Lachinski, the ordinance repealing Ordinance No. 39 known as the Bingo Ordinance and Ordinance 65 known as the Gambling Ordinance as presented. Motion carried unanimously. RED OAKS POND/CLEANING Merlyn Prochniak, Park & Recreation Commission Chairman, explained residents were at the Park Board meeting concerned about the pond in Red Oaks Park West, as it has not been cleaned up since the storm two years ago. They were also concerned about the park in general, about its maintenance and the vandalism that has taken place in that park. Mr. Schrantz stated the debris in the pond from the storm must be working its way up. Council agreed the pond should be cleaned up as a spring project and agreed the funds should come from the General Fund, not from the Park Board Budget. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, that we authorize the City Engineer to arrange for proper cleaning of the Red Oaks pond in the Red Oaks West Park, for an amount not to exceed $2,000. Motion carried unanimously. HEARING EXAMINER/NUISANCE ORDINANCE MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Orttel, that we authorize the Administrator to contact Mr. Gary Beck and to inquire about acting as our hearing examiner. Motion carried unanimously. GOOD VALUE HOMES/ROAD ALIGNMENT John Peterson, Good Value Homes - stated they have been working aggressively to prevent a major county road from going through the middle of the property they are developing south of Bunker Lake and Crosstown Boulevards. They have been talking with the county and the City of Coon Rapids, and it seems that everyone thinks the road should or will go through that property. At this point Good Value Homes is coming to the City of Andover for some direction. He reviewed several alternative locations for a county road through the property, which would be the realignment of Crosstown Boulevard south of Bunker Lake Boulevard. The desired right of way for a major road involves a lot of land and has a large impact on that property. They would rather not have it through there; but if they have to have it, they feel they will need some help from the City such as possibly giving the land along the creek to the City for parkland if the yellow alternate is selected. They have also talked about having a small commercial area at the intersection of Crosstown and Bunker Lake Boulevards. Thirdly, they feel the yellow alignment, which is the closest to the river, would be best for their development. It would eliminate all of their river lots, but they would only have to deal with one side of the thoroughfare. Regular City Council Meeting December 3, 1985 - Minutes Page 7 (Good Value Homes/ Road Alignment, Continued) Mayor Windschitl felt there would be an advantage of the easterly realignment coming straight north to Bunker Lake Boulevard in the vicinity of the M. R. Olson property in that it would divide the commercial and residential areas. He also felt it could be possible to continue the road north and westward to meet Crosstown Boulevard in the vicinity of the Conroy property. Mr. Schrantz reviewed several alternatives for a major east-west exit from this plat, including proposals for 133rd. But a question is who would construct that road once it got beyond the Good Value property. There was a very lengthy discussion regarding which proposal would be best, the suggestions for the new alignment of Crosstown Boulevard and where it would meet Highway 242, and whether an exit eastward such as 133rd is needed if a major north- south road was constructed. It was felt the yellow route closest to the creek would be the most economical to construct, but it would mean a loss of valuable creekside residential property. The Council also questioned whether they would want the lowland along the creek or whether the City could afford it. They also questioned whether a north-south thoroughfare is really needed in this location at all. Another suggestion was to have Good Value Homes and Stanton, the owner of the adjacent proeprty in Coon Rapids, construct an east-west route. If the developers would construct 133rd to Osage, it was then felt the cities (Andover and Coon Rapids) could carry it over to Hanson Boulevard as a State Aid street. This may eliminate the need or desire for a north-south thoroughfare. Still another suggestion was to have the county study the possibility of realigning Crosstown Boulevard starting from about 138th, angling southwestward through the Green property, across the creek, to the existing intersection of Crosstown Boulevard where it extends southward from Bunker Lake Boulevard. Finally, the sentiment seemed to be that something be worked out to get an exit to the east of the plat, at least:. out to Jay Street, that the idea of the red alternative coming straight north to divide the commercial and residential areas be explored further, and that the realignment of Crosstown from 138th angling southwestward also be explored with the county. Council recessed at 10:16; reconvened at 10:30 p.m. CABLE COMMISSION APPOINTMENT MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, to appoint Ted Lachinski to the Cable Commission. DISCUSSION: Councilman Lachinski felt he could not make the commitment to the Commission at this time. Council then agreed to seek out volunteers for the appointment and suggest them for the next meeting. Councilmen Knight and Elling WITHDREW the Second and the Motion. PLANNING AND ZONIMG COMMISSION/INTERVIEW DATE Because there will be an opening on the Park and Recreation Commission at the end of the year, it was felt applicants for both the Park and Recreation and the Planning Commission should be interviewed at one time. Staff was asked to first contact Kathy McAlpine, the Park Board alternate for 1985, to see if she would be interested in becoming a Commissioner. It was agreed to set an interview date at the first regular meeting in January. Regular City Council Meeting December 3, 1985 - Minutes Page 8 PERSONNEL COMMITTEE REPORT Mayor Windschitl was concerned with the method used to arrive at an increase recommended by the Perosnnel Committee for Lola Lindquist and Shirley Clinton. He had understood the points for each position established by the Council did not equate to dollars; and if that is being done at this time, he feared it could raise' other issues in other positions- in the future. Councilman Knight explained the pointscldo not equal dollars, but they had to use some method of equalizing salaries for positions with similiar points in female versus male dominated positions. The comparable worth is a way of balancing the inequities in the female versus male dominated positions. Councilman Elling also noted this corrects the two major inequities and brings them in line; and once the inequities are eliminated, the issue will not arise again. The comparable worth study is a one-time thing, not an on-going process. There was general agreement the salary of Ms. Lindquist needed to be adjusted. Mayor Windschitl felt an increase for Ms. Clinton would be warranted as a merit increase, but he didn't feel it was a comparable worth issue. Councilmen Elling and Knight argued it is a comparable worth issue, that the recommendation is based on comparable worth, not on merit. They did not deal with merit increases at this._time. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, that the Council authorize the pay increase for Lola Lindquist, the hourly rate of $7.05 an hour based on the Personnel Committee's recommendation that this would put her salary in line with our comparable worth requirements. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Elling, that we increase the salary of the Accounting Clerk by an amount of $384 as per the Personnel Committee recommendations. VOTE ON MOTION: YES-Elling, Knight, Lachinski, Orttel; NO-Windschitl Motion carried. Mayor Windschitl - My no vote is not against the raise itself. I don't have a problem with the raise, but I feel it isn't a comparable worth issue. Councilman Elling noted there is a balance of $700 in the budget for salaries, asking if the Council wants to split it among the employees. Council generally did not want to split it among the employees, feeling instead there are some staff members who are deserving of a merit increase for 1986. It was agreed the issue of merit increases would not be discussed at this time. Council also agreed to table the discussion on the recommended changes to the Personnel Policy because of the late hour. MARTIN LUTHER KIMG DAY/DECLARE HOLIDAY Council questioned whether it is a mandated holiday for governmental units, noting it is optional for private industry. Mr. Schrantz was directed to check into this further and to make a recommendation as to the staff's opinion on the matter. CLOSED MEETING WITH ATTORNEY Because of the late hour, it was agreed to meet in closed session with the attorneys regarding the Carlson appeal on assessments at the next regular meeting, December 17, at 9:45 p.m. ~- Regular City Council Meeting December 3, 1985 - Minutes Page 9 ANDOVER VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT Council discussed Fire Chief Bob Palmer's 11/29/85 memo to the Mayor and Council regarding the pumper at General Safety Equipment Corporation for rust problems. Chief Palmer stated members of the Fire Department had thought this would be the time to put the crew cab on this truck, rather than waiting several years. However, he could not justify the expense at this time and the funds are not available for that. Chief Palmer stated the quote from General Safety Equipment is low, although Option 3 is more than Custom Fire Apparatus. He also felt Option 2 for $985 could be eliminated. He stated it has been found that the red paint on fire trucks is holding up considerably better than the yellow, thinking now would be a good time to changelthe coler to red. Option 3 would only be needed if the truck is recolored at this time. There was a lengthy discussion as to what is causing the peeling and chipping of the paint and undercoating and who is responsible for it. It was felt that either the steel wasn't degreased before it was primed or it was a bad application. In either case, it would be the responsibility of General. Chief Palmer noted there is actually very little rust eating through the metal, but there is considerable peeling and chipping. Chief Palmer said it would take about two months to have the job completed, and he did not know where the funds would come from to have it done. He thought General may carry it for six months or so. Mayor Windschitl said they would try to find it in the General Fund if the work is to be done. At this time it was agreed the Fire Department should do whatever is necessary to get the truck back into service, noting the need for the truck at this time of the year. The Department should have either General or Custom do the work it was originally brought in for, whichever has the lowest bid. Council also agreed it should be made known to General that they will be expected to complete the job to eliminate the rusting, peeling and chipping problem in the future. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, that we authorize the Fire Oepartment to purchase Essentials of Firefighting Manuals and weighted dummy for training, and transfer $500 from 42200.433 to .352 and $300 from .433 to .580. Motion carried unanimously. APPROVAL OF CLAIMS MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, that we approve Checks 10302 through 10429 for a total of $107,211.32. Motion carried unanimously. SHORELAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE/UPDATE d'Arcy Bosell reviewed the concerns raised by Molly Comeau of the DNR regarding the City's Shoreland Management Ordinance, documenting her interpretation that the City's unique circumstances meet the requirements to allow for some flexibilities in the State law. She recommended the Zoning Administrator be allowed to respond to Ms. Comeau's comments expressing that point of view. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Orttel, to so move. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjouroed at 12:22 a.m. ,{) Respectfully_ sUbm,itted, L ~0,::>~ Marc la A. Peach Recordi Secretary --
