Adjournment *Not on published agenda - - - - -- --- CITY of ANDOVER REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - FEBRUARY 4, 1986 MINUTES The Regular Bi-Monthly Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by Mayor Jerry Windschit1 on February 4, 1986, 7:30 p.m., at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota. Councilmen present: Elling, Knight, Lachinski, Ortte1 Councilmen absent: None Also present: City Attorney, John Burke; City Administrator/Engineer, James Schrantz; City Clerk/Treasurer, Larry Johnson; and others SWEARING IN CEREMONY - CLERK/TREASURER Larry P. Johnson took the oath as Andover's City Clerk/Treasurer administered by Attorney Burke. PRESENTATION OF COMMENDATION/JAnES STELZIG Fire Chief Bob Palmer presented a Certificate of Commendation and Appreciation for services rendered in the public interest to James Stelzig for rescueing the unconscious driver of a burning vehicle on January 18, 1986. AGENDA APPROVAL MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Elling, to approve the Agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously. NEWSLETTER DISCUSSION Mr. Johnson reviewed his February 4 memo to the Council indicating Campaign Success is not interested in doing the Tri-City Newsletter again. He reported the City of Anoka will not be doing any type of newsletter at this point, and the City of Ramsey wants to do their own mews letter to the residents. He stated in talking with Melanie DeLuca, the Community School Coordinator, the school district is interested in workig with the City on a newsletter. He didn't have the costs for such a project at this time. Council generally preferred that a newsletter be mailed to the residents on a regular schedule, either monthly or every other month. It would be ideal if the school district or another city would want to participate as well. A suggestion was to use legal-sized flyers folded in thirds for mailing purposes. Mr. Johnson stated he will get the costs for sending out a newsletter every other month on a tri-fo1rl legal sized sheet. BOYUM SKETCH PLAN Council reviewed the proposed sketch plan of residential property off Crosstown Boulevard and 166th Avenue into large lots. The lot sizes range from 6.8 to 16.8 acres. Two concerns of the Council were the question of whether or not the developer should be allowed to develop the property without going through the platting process and the logical extension of the streets in the future. Robert Boyum - explained it is a unique piece of property with a lot of lowland in the back. Any future development of that property is highly unattractive because of the swamp and lowland. He stated part of the property is designated by the DNR as wetland and he felt it is not economical to develop it into smaller lots. -- Regular City Council Meeting February 4, 1986 - Minutes Page 2 (Boyum Sketch Plan, Continued) Mayor Windschitl stated platting will give him the same thing as subdividing but it provides the City with more control over the project. Councilman Elling was also concerned about the island in the middle of the cul de sac. Mr. Boyum - stated the island will provide a place to put the snow in the winter and would not be a maintenance problem. He felt the isalnd would be teardrop shaped. He then presented an alternate plan which makes the size of the lots more equal. Mayor Windschitl stated he preferred the layout of the alternate plan. It was finally agreed the property should be platted and that any logical street extension to either Crosstown Boulevard or the eastern corporate limits should be looked at. STREET LIGHTS Mayor Windschit1 read the list of priority locations for street lighting as prepared by the Police Department and reviewed at the January 21, 1986, meeting: 1. County Road 7 and 147th Lane 2. County Road g and South Coon Creek Drive 3. Crosstown Boulevard and 139th 4. Hanson Boulevard and Bunker Lake Boulevard 5. Bunker Lake Boulevard and Prairie Road 6. Andover Boulevard and Hanson Boulevard 7. County Road 20 and Xenia Street 8. Bunker Lake Boulevard and Crooked Lake Boulevard Councilman Knight stated he has received requests for lighting on Seventh Avenue and 165th, especially because the late bus drops off a number of students at that intersection and in the winter it is a dark corner. Council also felt the inter- section of Nightengale and County Road 20 was particularly hazardous. It was generally felt the budget would allow for the installation of these ten street lights; and additional lights can be budgeted for in the following years. MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Orttel, that we approve the locations for City lights as submitted by the Sheriff's Department and add to this year's installation the placement of lights at 165th and County Road 7 and Nightengale and County Road 20. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Windschit1 recommended the following four standards for street lights submitted at the previous regular meeting be adopted: 1. Major thoroughfares, i.e., county road intersections, a 250-watt HPS mounted on an 18-foot mastarm. 2. Residential intersections on county roads, at ISO-watt HPS mounted on an 18-foot mastarm. 3. Residential intersections, a ISO-watt HPS mounted on an 8-foot mastarm. 4. Residential midblock lights should use a lOa-watt HPS mounted on an 8-foot mastarm. Councilman Elling explained the cost of the 250-watt HPS is $7.32 per month energy fee and $15 per month facilities charge. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, to adopt the standards presented. Motion carried unanimously. Regular City Council Meeting February 4, 1986 - Minutes Page 3 (Street Lights, Continued) Council directed Mr. Schrantz to have the power company conform the existing lights to these new standards and to set up a billing process. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Ortte1, that we appoint Jim Schrantz to have him ~o to the power company and negotiate a contract that will give us all this (conform existing lights to new standard and set up a billing process). Motion carried unanimously. COUNTY 116 DRAINAGE STUDY Mr. Schrantz reviewed the drainage study and proposal to construct the storm drainage pipes and ponding excavations in Andover and the City of Anoka. A major concern is the City of Anoka's charge of a half-cent per square foot for Andover to buy into their storm sewer system. That would be about $70,000. The $30,000 to Anoka from the Woodland Terrace plat which was previously negotiated between the developer and Anoka is on top of that amount. At this point, the City of Anoka does not want the pond excavated in their city. John Davidson of TKDA - stated they looked at several alternatives, including turning the storm drainage around in the Northglen and shopping center area west of Round Lake Boue1vard. That would eliminate the discharge question to the west side of Round Lake Boulevard raised in the Sonsteby lawsuit. But that cost is estimated to be about $190,000 and doesn't take into consideration any acquisition costs. Another alternative would be to run the pipe along Bunker Lake Boulevard, but that was more expensive, estimated to be $235,000. In any case, the only thing that would be resolved is eliminating the Sonsteby problem. It would not resolve the drainage problem in that area. He also explained that some of the grading in the proposed drainage study would be part of the highway costs of the County for the realignment of County 116 through that area. C1a~ Gosswi1ler, 4014 Tenth Lane, Anoka - asked to see the maps showing the proposed ho1 lng pond. He noted they are affected in the same way as the Andover residents are because of the high water in the area. He stated the Anoka City Council postponed action on the drainage study to their next meeting. Mr. Davidson also reported the County is saying the highway through the area will be conforming to the existing topography and will not have any impact on the water elevations or wetland problems. They are saying they can assimilate the additional runoff from the road, which will be carried in a ditch at a higher elevation than the existing ponds in that area. Mr. Davidson stated we disagree with the defined benefit area as outlined by the County. His contention is anything done within the Chutich pond area materially afrects the entire area draining into that system. Mr. Davidson also suggested for Council consideration that this be treated as was done with Woodland Terrace. Take the entire defined drainage system in the two cities, compute the value of what they have invested in their drainage system inflated to present-day dollars, establish a unit price for the entire watershed as if it were all built today, and relate that back to the unit charges in the two areas. Whatever the difference is between Andover's area share and theirs would be Andover's volume cost. Andover would only be paying for overflow conditions. There will be long periods of time when the outlet would never be used. It would only be used in times of the wet cycle. Mayor Windschitl thought the City of Coon Rapids has that type of an agreement with the City of Anoka at this time. He asked that Andover get a copy of that agreement and definitely felt Mr. Davidon's suggestion is a more fair proposal j,n this matter. Regular City Council Meeting February 4, 1986 - Minutes Page 4 (County 116 Drainage Study, Continued) Discussion was then on just how much the project would lower the water in the Dehn's Addition. It was noted the project will not dry it up behind that Addition. Mayor Windschitl stated the DNR will not allow the water level to go below a specific level, which is about at Ms. Sonsteby's garage floor level. Gi'ven that, he questioned whether all this expense is really worth it, questioning if a study should be done as to the specific impact this project would have on the Dehn's Addition. Mr. Davidson stated the DNR was looking at the present water level as being the controlling point. That controlling point would be 9 inches below the present elevation. This project would provide an overflow control in a wet cycle. In a dry cycle there is no immenent problem in the Dehn's Addition. There is no guarantee this will lower the water table permanently because they do not know the extent of the groundwater table. This deals only with surface water. Residents from that Addition were in attendance at a meeting with the county and the DNR and realize this project would not materially lower the water level, and there were indications that they would be allowed to fill in their back yards. Council then discussed the question of whether an assessment can be sustained on thi s project. Mr. Davidson was asked to use the topogs to determine what affect this project will have on the back yards of those in Dehn's Addition if the water level is maintained at the level of Ms. Sonsteby's garage floor. It was also agreed to get a copy of the agreement between the City of Coon Rapids and the City of Anoka relating to the buy-in of the storm sewer system. It was felt that when meeting with the City of Anoka and the County, Andover's position should be as suggested by Mr. Davidson this evening, computing the value of the drainage system inflated to present-day dollars. COON RAPIDS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY PROPOSAL ON SBA 503 LOANS Council felt the Community Development Committee should review the proposal and make a recommendation. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, that we refer the Coon Rapids Development Company proposal to the Community Development Committee for their consideration. Motion carried unanimously. ALEXANDRA HOUSE DONATION There was some question as to whether this is a new request or whether it relates to a previous request. It was thought the City allocated approximately $2,000 to them in the summer of 1985. Mr. Schrantz was asked to see if the funds allocated were disbursed to the Alexandra House or if this is a request for additional funding. JUNKYARD LICENSE APPROVALS MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, that we renew Junkyard Licenses for Wilbur Auto Parts, Mom's Auto Salvage, Commercial Auto Parts, Minnesota Recycling, Inc., and K & K Salvage, based on the name and legal descriptions of the properties involved as approved in 1985. DISCUSSION: There was some question as to whether Commercial Auto Parts had all of their junk cars behind the fence. Mr. Johnson reported the only violàtion for Bob's Auto Parts is the City does not have their certificate of insurance, and he has talked to both the owner and the insurance Regular City Council Meeting February 4, 1986 - Minutes Page 5 (Junkyard License Approvals, Continued) agent and it should be in hand soon. Andover Auto Parts has many cars outside the fence, and Rite Way Auto Salvage has no insurance coverage nor has it applied for a 1986 license. Council felt the Commercial Auto Parts yard should be inspected again prior to approving a license. Councilman Ortte1 CHANGED the Motion: Take out Commercial Auto Parts from the previous motion. Second Stands. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Knight, that the auto junkyards known as Andover Auto Parts, Bob's Auto Parts, and Rite Way Auto Sa1vage be put on notice that they are in violation of the City of Andover ordinances having to do with the fact that they are not licensed and should be referred to the City legal counsel to have the operations terminated. DISCUSSION: Mr. Johnson stated such letters were sent by certified mail today to Andover Auto Parts and Rite Way Auto Salvage. Council agreed to allow a few days for receipt of the certificate of insurance from Bob's Auto Parts. Motion carried unanimously. UNIVERSAL PROPERTIES RECOMMENDATION Council discussed setting up a transition zone where municipal utilities would be available in the future and where cluster zoning would be allowed at this time. Such zoning would allow for the orderly transition from rural to urban use when the utilities are available. Council noted such a change would require Metropolitan Council and Metropolitan Waste Water Control Commission approval. Mr. Schrantz exp1ãined his suggested boundary for the transition zone was based on the old Sewer Availability Charge line plus looking at overlays for soils conditions. Council didn't feel the line needed to go that far north, thinking Crosstown Boulevard should be the northern boundary, but also include the City Hall site. It was also interpreted that Ordinance 8, Section 4.20, Density Zoning, currently allows platting to a lower density as is being considered in the transition zone; and if that type of zoning is not desired throughout the City, then that should be clarified. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, to direct the Planning and Zoning Commission to hold a public hearing to consider the establishment of a MUSA transitional zone to allow for density zoning by Special Use/PUD as in Section 4.20, Ordinance 8. The lots would be required to meet the 39,000-square-foot buildable area, with the lots themselves being a minimum of 39,000 square feet. The total number of lots allowed being used in this method in the transition zone could be no higher than that attained under R-l zoning taking into account soils conditions, etc. The Council also includes the consideration of a Comprehensive Plan amendment in this public hearing. Further, the map that the service area for the transition zone include the glue factory property to Xeon Street, Xeon Street extended to Crosstown Boulevard from Andover Road to the north, then follow Crosstown to the southwest until it meets the existing MUSA line, with the addition of the City Hall property to the north on Crosstown Boulevard. Motion carried unanimously. SIGNALIZATION RESOLUTION MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, a Resolution requesting a traffic safety lmprovements to TH10 at the intersection of Round Lake Boulevard as proposed. DISCUSSION: Councilman Elling reported the City of Coon Rapids should be approving the same resolution at their meeting this evening and a copy of it will be sent to Andover. Several Councilmen were reJuctant to pass such a resolution for a study to take place in another city. They felt courtsey dictates that Andover support the resolution adopted by Coon Rapids, the city in which the study would take place. Rêgular City Council Meeting February 4, 1986 - Minutes Page 6 (Signalization Resolution, Continued) Councilmen Knight and Elling WITHDREW the Second and the Motion. It was agreed to act on this at the Special Meeting Thursday evening, February 6, if a copy of the Coon Rapids resolution is received. Council recessed at 9:30; reconvened at 9:45 p.m. AWARD CONTRACT/EARLY WARNING SIRENS Dick Berg, A1terting Communicators of America - stated a lot of their sirens are in the State of Minnesota. They supply the Penetrator 10 sirens for Electric Service Company, the low bidder. Mr. Thompson re~resentinq Federal Thunderbeam sirens - stated they met the specifica- tions. Their Slrens are practically maintenance free, believing the additional cost has been justified by less maintenance. He explained how the sirens work, stressing the lack of maintenance on their sirens. They do not recommend maintenance contracts on their sirens. Their siren is only three years old, and there is no reason to believe there will be any problems. They are continually tested, and their engineers say there should be no maintenance. Mr. Berg - stated both sirens are classified as rotating sirens. Their sirens requlre a change of oil and greasing once a year. There is nothing to rust or paint or maintain. Mr. Peterson of Electric Service recommends a maintenance contract, but that is not a requirement of the manufacturer. He didn't feel that should confuse the issue. The life of the motor in their siren is 30 to 35 years. Mr. Thompson - reported an instance where the Penetrator 10 siren in another city had not been able to be fixed and they are now installing new Federal sirens. He stated nothing has to be done on their Federal sirens on an annual basis. Terry Lehn, Lane Electric (bidder of the Federal siren) - stated there are very few moving parts on the Federal sirens. The Federal engineers spent years developing this siren and was tested for two years before it came on the market. It costs more, but he also argued it is a better siren. It does not have to be painted. Mr. Berg - stated the Federal siren is stainless steel and will rust. Council discussed the siren bids with those representatives present. The Penetrator 10 sirens was the lowest bid, although they did not specifically meet the bid specs. The Federal siren was the second lowest, with the argument being made that they are virtually maintenance free. In further discussions it was determined the Federal siren is made in south Chicago, the Penetrator 10 made in Milwaukee. Mr. Berg - also suggested there be a blow off involving their single tone PI0 siren and a Federal Thunderbeam siren to demonstrate his claim that their siren meets or exceeds the decibel at the ranges required and that Federal's siren does not. He stated he has the authority and will double the length of the warranty on their sirens to four years electrical and six years mechanical. Mr. Thompson - suggested going to any of the cities around that have already installed Federal Thunderbreams for a demonstration of how the siren works once it is installed. He felt bringing one into the city on a temporary pole was less desirable because of possible inaccuracies in setting it up, etc. Mr. Lehn - stated they have installed sirens for 30 years; and with the Federal siren, he didn't feel there is going to be a problem. Federal sirens have a two-year warranty on the unit and three years on the motor. Regular City Council Meeting February 4, 1986 - Minutes Page 7 (Award Contract/Early Warning Sirens, Continued) Mayor Windschitl suggested there are two small areas of the City that would not be covered with six sirens, suggesting the remaining two sirens also be purchased at this time to complete the City. It was determined the bid does provide for the add-on of additional sirens if the Council so chooses. Eight sirens would cost approximately $91,000. Council was concerned that the specs were written so tight thatconly one company could meet them. Mr. Schrantz stated there was a clause in the bids to list any and all exceptions and description of substitutions of equal or better character- istics and performance. This should have been done by Electric Service with the Penetrator 10 sirens but was not. The issue of maintenance costs was also raised, with the Council asking what the overall costs inc1uding~ maintenance between the two sirens on a five-year basis. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Elling, that we rebid these for eight sirens and at a total-cost bid for five years. DISCUSSION: Councilman Lachinski didnt' feel that was necessary because the sirens turn a total of only a few minutes a year and maintenance really wouldn't be an issue. Given that, he felt the bid should be let to the lowest bidder. Council directed the staff attempt to loosen the specs. VOTE ON MOTI ON: YES-Elling, Knight, Orttel, Windschitl; NO-Lachinski Motion carried MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Knight, that we reject all bids received for warning sirens for the City. (See Reso1utiom R009-86) VOTE ON MOTION: YES-Elling, Knight, Orttel, Windschit1; NO-Lachinski Motion carried unanimously. AWARD CONTRACT/85-8/WATERMAIN EXTENSION - SANITARY SEWER EXTENSION/BUNKER LAKE BLVD. John Davidson of TKOA stated the bid for the 1400 feet of sanitary sewer along Bunker Lake Boulevard to the Olson and Menkveld properties came to $177,000. He explained the original intent when designing the entire sewer system was to have a gravity system. The depth is around 40 feet, which is also a concern to the City staff. He stated the cost can be reduced about $20 to $25,000 by raising the line six to eight feet. The line could still service east to the railroad tracks and up Hanson Boulevard to the creek before lift stations are needed. Also, the size of the pipe can be reduced from 18 inches to 15 inches allowing for PVC pipe to be used, which also provides better control over infiltration. He argued the reduced size in pipe would maintain the same sewer capacity as what presently exists. Mayor Windschitl asked for cost alternatives over a 50-year period of operating a lift station versus a gravity system, also taking into consideration the cost of the project. Mr. Davidson asked that they be authorized to do that kind of cost study and to not award the sewer portion of the contract at this time. Charlie Veiman - asked if there is any possibility of getting sewer from a line along Highway 65. Council and engineers explained that is not possible, that there is not even enough capacity bui 1t in to serve the City of Ham Lake. Mr. Davidson then asked the Council to consider the alternate bid for the watermain extension to provide water to the Adolfson property and to Xavis, considering the cost as part of the watermain system. MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Elling, introducing a Resolution accepting bids and awarding contract for the improvement of Project No. 85-8 for watermain in the area of Bunker Lake Boulevard from Narcissus Street to Raven Street and Crosstown Boulevard from Bunker Lake Boulevard to 139th Avenue; note the bids as received and add to the prepared resolution the fact that we would also be accepting Alternate 1 in the Regular City Council Meeting February 4, 1986 - Minutes P.age 8 (Award Contract/85-8/Watermain Extension) (Motion by Ortte1 Continued) amount of $27,890.60 and award the entire contract to Kenko, Inc., in the amount of $355,105.30. (See Resolution R010-86) Motion carried unanimously. ANOOVER VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT Fire Chief Bob Palmer stated new tires are piling up at Minnesota Tire Recycling. They are over their ratio and have not cleared the fire lanes. He will be writing to them about the violations. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, that the City Council approve the re-elections of the officers of the Fire Department as follows: Chief - Bob Palmer; Assistant Chief - Glenn Smith; Secretary - Joyce Noyes; Fire Marshal - Ray Sowada; Relief Association Treasurer - Tom May; and Relief Association Vice President - Jerry Ko ltes. Motion carried unanimously. Chief Palmer stated they are also recruiting new firefighters at this time. ORDINANCE 32 AMENDMENT Because of the late hour and because the Council did not understand the chagnes in the sanitary sewer rate formula, it was agreed to table this item. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Ortte1, to table the item. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Lachinski, to adopt Ordinance No. 32F, an ordinance amending Ordinance No. 32 and Ordinance No. 32A, known as the public sanitary sewer ordinance (setting fees by resolution). Motion carried unanimously. APPOINT PLANNING AND ZONING MEMBERS MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, recommending the appointment of Joy Pirkl to the Planning Commission to fill the term of Steve Ward to expire 12/31/87. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, the appointment of Wayne Vistad to the Planning Commission to fill the term of Don Spotts to expire 12/31/87. Motion carried unanimously. BOARD OF REVIEW DATE MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Knight, that we set April 17 at 7:30 p.m., at the City Hall for Andover's Board of Review date. Motion carried unanimously. ORDINANCE 8 AMENDMENT/DAY NURSERIES MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, an Ordinance amending Ordinance 8 and Ordlnance No. 8M known as the Zoning Ordinance for the City of Andover to require that day nurseries have special use permits issued for 13 or more children. Motion carried unanimously. ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, adoption of Ordinance 8DD, an ordinance amending Ordinance No. 8 and Ordinance No. 8G, known as the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Andover. DISCUSSION: It was noted the change and those following amend the ordinance to allow setting the fees by Council resolution rather than by ordinance amendmen t. Because no resolution was prepared setting those fees, it was agreed to table these items until that resolution is prepared. Regular City Council Meeting February 4, 1986 - Minutes Page 9 (Ordinance Amendments, Continued) Councilmen Elling and Orttel WITHDREW the Second and the Motion. MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Elling, that we table ordinance amendments, Agenda Items 7a 2 and 7a 3 until a Resolution is prepared containing fees and cost figures. Motion carried unanimously. HIRE UTILITY/ACCOUNTING CLERK Mr. Johnson explained the problems he has had finding someone to accept the position. He asked that the Council authorize a salary of $6.50 an hour for the position as he has someone who has agreed to accept it for that salary. He stated many of the applicants were not qualified for the position; and those who were, were not interested at the $6/hour salary range. Mr. Schrantz noted the need for someone as soon as possible as that work is falling way behind and the accountant is not able to keep up. Council felt the position should be readvertised and that hiring some temporary help to take care of tirat·work load should be investigated. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Orttel, that we readvertise the position of Utility Billing/Account Clerk for a salary of up to $6.50 an hour. Motion carried unanimously. APPROVAL OF CLAIMS MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Ortte1, to approve Claims 10648 through 10710 for a sum of $87,760.39. Motion carried unanimously.
