Box Scraper/Public Works ¡ I I I -- - CITY of ANDOVER REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - JUNE 3, 1986 MINUTES The Regular Bi-Month1y Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by Mayor Jerry Windschitl on June 3, 1986, 7:30 p.m., at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota. Councilmen present: Knight, Lachinski (arrived at 8 p.m.) Orttel Councilman absent: Elling Also present: City Attorney, William G. Hawkins; TKDA Engineers, John Davidson and John Rodeberg; City Engineer/Administrator, James Schrantz; City Clerk/Treasurer, Larry Johnson, and others RESIDENT FORUM Bill Sikora - stated he was before the Council over a month ago asking that something be done about University Avenue. Mr. Schrantz explained the City of Ham Lake would like to have a joint feasibility study done. They are saying they do not have right of way on their side of the street. Also, dirt would be needed to upgrade the road. Mr. Sikora - stated he has the dirt that could be used on the road. He also showed a plat map showing a 33-foot easement for road purposes. He stated it is getting to be a deteriorating situation. There is a hole in the middle of the road that is below the water level now, and they get a pond whenever it rains. Mr. Sikora also stated the maintenance has been too little too late; and as an Andover resident, he is not able to get Ham Lake to do anything with that road. Mayor Windschit1 explained the agreement between Ham Lake and Andover is that they maintain the upper portion of University Avenue and Andover maintains the lower portion. He understands that Ham Lake would be willing to do a feasibility to studYialternatives and costs to resolve the problem. , Mr. Sikora - stated they are not looking for an assessment project. He stated the mãTntenance done by Ham Lake has been unacceptable. They built a ridge on the side, and the middle gets lower all the time. He argued he has paid $35,000 worth of taxes over the last 10 years, $5,000 of that to the City. They just want to be able to drive out of the house without hipboots on. He felt it would only take five loads of sand, a bulldozer, and a half day to get the job done, stating he would be willing to donate the sand. Discussion continued with Mr. Sikora as to what can and should be done. It was agreed the right-of-way question will be researched further, although that may not be necessary if just sand is brought in on the south side. Mr. Schr~ntz will discuss this with the Ham Lake engineer. This item is to be added to the June 17 meeting. , , I , , AGENDA APPROVAL , Council felt due to the length of the Agenda, they would not get to the þroposed add-ons to the Agenda. It was agreed to add Item 8k, Bond Sale, and attempt to get through as much of the Agenda as possible. Mayor Windschit1 asked for a motion to that effect. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Ortte1, to so move. Motion carried on a 3-Yes, 2- Absent (Elling, Lachinski) vote. -- - Regular City Council Meeting June 3, 1986 - Minutes Page 2 PUBLIC HEARING - 86-9/WOODLAND TERRACE 4TH, LILY STREET1 ROUND LAKE BOULEVARD, 133RD LAND, 134TH AVENUE -L?:41 p.m.) Mr. Rodeberg reviewed the feasibility report for the two major sections of the proposed project -- the Round Lake Boulevard, 133rd,Lane, and 134th Avenue area and the Lily Street area. He first reviewed maps showing the proposed route of the utility lines, the benefitted lots and parcels, and the estimated amounts of the proposed assessments for the Round Lake Boulevard area. Kermit Kirkevold - asked why the line had to be taken to Round Lake Boulevard. Why couldn't it stop at 133rd and taken north. Mr. Rodeberg explained that would be up to him, but the intent was to extend the line far enough to serve the three lots that could be subdivided. The waterline would be placed to the edge of the property, which would give access to the Coon Rapids system if there is a desire to connect for emergency use in the future. Rosemary Kirkevold - asked why it couldn't come in off the street. Mr. Rodeberg stated they could get the service off that side street. But if they ever intend to subdivide or to extend the line, now would be the time to do it to be the most economi ca 1. Jim Prudwich, Round Lake Boulevard - stated there is water and sewer on the other side of the road, asking how many homes are involved in the hookup of those utilities. Also, their letter stated a cost of $70,000. Mr. Rodeberg stated he did not know the details of Anoka's system across the road. He explained the $70,000 figure is the estimated cost for that portion of the project. An estimated cost of $8,000 is used for total costs for lots outside the plat. Eleven lots are involved in this portion of the project excluding those in Woodland Terrace Phase 2. Mr. Prudwich - as~ed when the project would take place. Mr. Rodeberg explained constructíõñ would begin the middle of July, and they should be in that area within the next couple months. Mr. Davidson also explained the policy of the lines being brought to the property line, with it being the owner's responsibility to hook up from there. Mr. Rodeberg then reviewed the Lily Street area proposed project and the extension of Lily Street to the existing cul de sac, plus turning the cul de sac around. Jim Larson - asked how far back would the water be taken from to drain into the existlng storm sewer. Mr. Rodeberg explained the high point is approximately the same as it is now. They wouldn't be placing any more water in the system. Mayor Windschitl asked why that storm drain needs to be improved. Mr. Rodeberg stated it will depend on the depth of the culvert and how it lines up with the finished product. Mr. Larson - asked about Outlot A on the map. Mr. Rodeberg explained it is an unbui1dab1e area originally proposed to be the storm sewer for Woodland 'Terrace. At this point he didn't think it was going to do anything but remain an outlot. Mayor Windschitl asked if it is still the feeling of the residents that they want the cul de sac. Mr. Larson and several other residents stated yes. Mayor Windschitl stated after the project is completed, the City would then vacate some of the excess easement through that area. Regular City Council Meeting June 3, 1986 - Minutes Page 3 (Public Hearing - 86-9, Continued) Council asked about a previous discussion to construct the cul de sac on the city line. Mr. Schrantz stated this proposal is to build it over the old cu1 de sac. Mayor Windschitl reviewed the agreement that once the Coon Rapids side is developed and has an outlet, the cul de sac would be closed off and would no longer be a through street. Mr. Larson - did not object. He expressed concern about the drainage down to the lake. He had understood the storm drain and settling area would be cleaned out periodically, but that doesn't seem to be done. He felt the area that is there could be made larger for the settling area. Mayor Windschitl felt the two cities should work out an agreement while doing this project regarding storm drainage to the lake. Mr. Davidson explained the intent is to build a backup catch basin. Also, the hard surface and curbing will eliminate some of the si~tation they are currently getting in the system. But perhaps both can be done to eliminate pollution into the lake. Mr. Larson - explained the easement already exists for the settling pond. But they don't see anyon-going city maintenance of the system, and they are concerned with what is going into the lake. The Mayor suggested that a meeting of the residents be held to see what can be worked out. He then asked for a motion to close the public hearing. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Ortte1. t10tion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Absent (Elling) vote. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Lachinski, that the staff prepare a Resolution authorizing preparation of final plans and specifications and ordering the improve- ment of streets, sewer, storm sewer and water was presented at the public hearing for the area, Project 86-9, including Woodland Terrace 4th Addition, Lily Street, Round Lake Boulevard, 133rd Lane, and 134th Avenue. (See Resolution R065-86) Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Absent (Elling) vote. 86-15/ENCHANTED DRIVE DRAINA~E, CONTINUED (8:14 p.m.) Mr. Davidson reviewed a supplemental feasibility report for drainage in the Enchanted Drive area, outlining the expanded benefitted area. He explained the City staff did pump water in that area to see the effect east of Enchanted Drive. The pumping did lower it to the point where they felt ditching or channeling would be minimal in order to accomplish the drainage. The estimated project cost remains at $14,498; but by increasing the number of lots, the proposed assessment would be $604 per unit, though a number of units are only partially benefitted and would be assessed half that amount. Jerianne Webster, 3920 Enchanted Drive - asked to repeat the comment as to the drainage on the corner of Aztec and Enchanted Drive. Mr. Davidson stated there is a culvert from the southeast corner to discharge into the area. Ms. Webster - stated it does not discharge. It is plugged up because of the house bUltt on the opposite side of the street. There is a puddle on that corner when it rains, and it stays there until it dries up. She asked why the houses on Aztec aren't included since they are all higher than theirs. Mr. Davidson reviewed the high points in the area and direction of drainage. Richard (?A ' 3927 Enchanted Drive - asked which way it drains on the corner of 158th. r. DavlâSõn stated stralght west through the cul de sac. Ms. Webster - stated when it rains, water runs down Aztec to their front yard. Regular City Council Meeting June 3, 1986 - Minutes Page 4 (Spt15/Enchanted Dri ve Drainage.; Conti nued) , . Mr. (1) - asked why are the houses east of Aztec charged and the ones to the west aren't. Mr. Davidson stated they go down to the low point but there is no physical outlet. Someone has built a house and filled over that culvert. Ms. Shower, Enchanted Drive - stated the houses in back of her do drain. If this were to go through, why should she be charged for something she doesn't want when it is not her fault and there are places where the water drains. She stated she is not in favor of the project. Ms. Tjaden, 3963 N Enchanted Drive - felt something is needed. She felt they are going to or may hãVe lost a lot of trees along their pond because they have been standing in water since last fall. She asked if it is necessary for the cement culvert underneath 161st, and is that large of a pipe needed. She noted the water from the pond is starting to back up into the ditch and the road is starting to break up. Mr. Schrantz agreed the road is breaking up. The pipe being proposed isn't that big, but a concrete pipe may not be needed. Mr. Davidson stated a maintenance contractor was asked to quote on the installation of a pipe in another location, estimating the cost for corregated pipe and local installers or City crew would cost about one-third of the proposed cost of their alternative. A corregated pipe is not as permanent as a concrete pipe. Ms. Webster - asked the engineer if they feel the problem will go away on its own once the excessive rains cease. Mr. Davidson stated this has been a very high wet cycle, and the predictions are it will continue for several more years, that it will get worse before it gets better. Mr. ~ - ~sked what is the difference in life between the concrete versus corrlgate pipe. Mr. Davidson stated concrete pipe has been in the ground for over 50 years in some cases. Corregated pipe tends to rust in 10, 15, or 20 years. At the time the streets were improved, a fairly extensive storm sewer system was proposed, but the property owners felt the cost was prohibitive and it was not a high water cycle at that time. Loi s (1) ,Enchanted Dri ve - 1 i ved there for seven years. The:first few years there wasn't a problem. Then it got so she could walk across the swamp. She felt it will get better, that the problem is just due to the unusually high rain. She asked why the engineers perceive it will not get better. Mr. Davidson stated they don't really know, but the prediction is the wet cycle will continue for several more years. The DNR believes we have not reached the upper limit of the wet cycle. Tom Turnbam, 3889 Enchanted Drive - stated with the new assessment area, he would be assessed for on"ly the lower half of his property. But that's about one~tenth of what his property would dnain compared with the other four properties on their side of Enchanted. He stated the water drains across the road and down through the swamp. Two houses were built on unbuildab1e property and quite a bit of the swamp was filled in. He felt there are other properties on the other side that will be benefitted that are not included in this assessment area. He asked whose to say after all this is done, that the water won't go back the other way and fill up evep more. He stated he is not i:n favor of the project. Ray Clinton, N Enchanted Drive - stated he did not favor the project because he thinks Mother Nature will take care of the problem. He didn't think it was necessary to spend thousands of dollars. Just because there is high water for a year or two doesn't mean it will go on forever. Regular City Council Meeting June 3, 1986 - Minutes Page 5 (86-15/Enchanted Drive Drainage, Continued) Marsh (1) ,3888 Enchanted Drive - asked what is the problem with the high water ln that area rlght now. Mayor WlíñCschit1 explained the Council received a petition with 12 signatures requesting a feasibility study to alleviate the water problem in that area. ~1r. (1 ) - asked what is the main problem with the high water. Ms. Webster - stated she and a neighbor have had flouded basements. She didn't thlnk lowering the pond would help the basement problems, but the water has met the road. On the curve on Enchanted Drive by their property the road is starting to break up. This spring most of it was under water. In addition, they will probably lose: a lot of the trees around the pond because of the water. Dee Phillips, 4021 160th Lane - stated their corner has many trees. They have been under water since last spring. She wondered if the water table would be lowered to a level low enough to be able to save some of those trees. But to install a culvert at that cost, she speculated it would be cheaper to replace the trees as they die. Mr. Davidson stated they haven't done an exact profile as to how much the water will be lowered. Based on the pumping done last week, he felt the pond could be lowered 1~ to 2 feet on the south side of 160th. Ms. Phillips - felt that would help if it is lowered so it stays at that level. But the culvert there now is under water. The water is almost over Mr. Thompson's driveway. Several residents in the audience stated Mr. Thompson is not in favor of this project; but then someone else stated he is in favor. Mr. Thompson was not present. Discussion was then on the concrete versus corregated culvert. Mr. Schrantz stated based on a bid elsewhere in the City, Mr. Kraabel would replace a culvert for $1200, which includes $300 for replacing blacktop. So he estimated both culverts could be installed for about $2,500. But the Ci ty doesn't havetthe easement for the "open ditch" . Possibly with the cooperation of the residents in that area, that open ditch could be hand dug. Ms. Phillips - stated she hasn't walked back there, but her husband has and said the two swamps are meeting. They weren't even aware that the City pumped the other day until the neighbors mentioned it. Mr. Schrantz stated the City pumped and then talked to the residents in Al1adin Acres and watched the flow of the water. They couldn't find a defined ditch. Ms. Phillips - stated visually it doesn't look any lower. (1) - stated on the west side of North Enchanted Drive it is lower about one foot. On the north side of 160th, it didn't go down at all because the ditch hasn't been dug through there. Mr. Schrantz stated a concern is also how this will affect the vegetable farmer in this area. Ms. Phillips - asked how wide and how deep of a ditch would need to be dug to get the two swamps to meet. Mr. Schrantz stated it would be dug to the depth of the pipe, estimating a couple feet. He didn't feel the intent is to dry up the swamp but to lower it a couple feet. It was his opinion that storm drainage should be put into this area. Ms. Phillips - asked how long the public hearing procedure will take, as they are already.Josing trees because of the water. Mr. Schrantz was not sure what time frame it would be. Donna Turnbom, 3889 Enchanted Drive- didn't think anything could be done in time to al1evlate the problem. She felt it will go down on its own. She asked to see the petition. The Engineers provided a copy of the petition. Regular City Council Meeting June 3, 1986 - Minutes Page 6 (86-15/Enchanted Drive Drainage, Continued) Attorney Hawkins stated he would need to review the Statutes as to the legality of having staff do a project and assess it back to the residents. Mr. Davidson thought if the project was under $10,000 it would be allowed. Council discussion with Mr. Schrantz also noted two individuals who signed the petition have changed their minds, one has moved, and two names are counted for one address. (7) - asked if there is a requirement for a certain number of names on a pet1t1on. Mayor Windschitl reviewed the Statute regarding the 429 Procedure. If nothing was done and the street needed repair, the City would end up correcting the problem for the life of the bond issue. Councilman Orttel felt at least a public hearing should be held, as the City has an obligation to do something if the r0ad is deteriorating. Ms. Turnbom - still felt the builder that built the two hou5es and put the fill 1n that swamp :i5, responsible for the water problem they are having. Plus the developer of the property to the west should have put the culvert in. Mr. Turnbom - stated they brooght in tons and tons of dirt. The people in the nelghborhood complained about it, but nothing was done. Now they have water problems. (7) ,3961 Enchanted - stated she wrote a letter asking that her name be removed from the original petition. MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Ortte1, a Resolution receiving feasibility report and calling public hearing on improvements of storm drainage, Project 86-15 in the Enchanted Drive area, and note that the prepared resolution indicating an estimated cost of $14,498.000 is to be revised for the public hearing for the lower cost alternative and to determine the ability to obtain easements by the time we have the public hearing; hearing to be held June 25. (See Resolution R066-86) DISCUSSION: It was felt the hearing would be held around 9 o'clock because of the other hearings to be held on that date. Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Absent (Elling) vote. PUBLIC HEARING, CONTINUED - 86-3/BUNKER LAKE BOULEVARD (8:48 p.m.) Mr. Davidson explained it was noted at the public hearing if the residential lots in the southern portion of Watts Garden Acres are served through Coon Rapids, the line could be placed at a shallower depth south of Bunker Lake Boulevard. It would not affect the amount of the assessment, as that is always based on the average depth of 8 to 10 feet. But it would have the effect of overall reducing the cost of the trunk charge. The response from Anoka County was they had not anticipated providing any services beyond their maintenance building. And they would be" be willing to settle for an assessment equivalent to what was proposed, which was approximately equal to the lateral extension along Bunker Lake Boulevard, approximately $90,000. With the advent of the petition from the 40-acre parcel to the north, it would be a two-sided assessment for that lateral which would cover the costs. If the school site became a real possibility, they would have to petition the Metropolitan Council to expand the Urban Service boundary. Mart~ Mardaus, 13350 Hanson Boulevard - asked if the meeting was held on May 20. He dldn't see anything about it in the Minutes. Council noted it was on May 22 and those Minutes are not yet posted. Hubert Smith, 13309 Ja~ Street - stated,àt the last meeting the Council wasn't sure whether they wou1 be served by Coon Rapids or not. Has that been decided or is it still open for discussion. Mayor Windschitl stated it is still open for discussion. There is ability to serve from Andover, but the Engineers prefer it be served out of Coon Rapids. Regular City Council Meeting June 3, 1986 - Minutes Page 7 (Public Hearing - 86~3/Bunker Lake Boulevard, Continued) Mr. Smith - stated if they are served from Coon Rapids and they extend up Jay Street now, would they be charged for the lateral right away. Andover doesn't know when they will bring the lateral down because there is no development taking place. Would they be assessed at that time. Mayor Windschitl stated the key to the situation is whether any Andover properties would be developed. The fact that Coon Rapids brings a line to the Andover border doesn't generate an assess~ ment. If properties in Andover get developed, then there is a potential for an assessment. Coon Rapids has no ability to assess in Andover; Andover would have to hold the hearings. He hasn't been able to determine who owns what property in the area nor determine the potential for eminent development along Jay Street. He understands at least one parcel is owned by Mr. Stanton, a developer. Barb Duerr, 2143 Bunker Lake Boulevard - was in the project now being constructed along Bunker Lake Boulevard, but understands there is a problem with peat along the road. Mr. Davidson explained about 300 feet east of the in-place sanitary sewer they ran into very unstable soil of about 16 feet of heavy peat. The County Highway Department has authorized them to build a manhole back in the middle of the roadway for that 200 to 250 feet of trench needed to get past this area. He reviewed what had happened and their concern that the roadway would slip into the trench. By adding that cost to the present contract with Kenko, it exceeds the 25 percent limit of the base bid. He suggested the present contract be terminated, rebid the contract out either separately or with the next extension. That decision will be made tonight. In either event, he felt the project would be completed this year. Ms. Duerr - asked if they are still going to cross her front yard. Mr. Davidson antlclpated they would. Ms. Duerr - stated everything has been settled on her property. If it is opened up to a public hearing and goes down the road, the City will find the property on the east side of her has recently been sold, and they are planning to put in a housing development in there. She stated the City will be receiving petitions for that very soon. She asked about the cost of the assessment with the rebidding process. Mr. Davidson explained the assessment remains constant because the area and connection charges are fixed. Ms. Duerr - asked the time frame. Mr. Davidson felt it would be about four weeks to go through the rebidding process. But it depends on whether the Council chooses to rebid it or to add it to the 86-3 project, which would take a little longer. Mrs. Mardaus - asked if they would pay a higher rate if they were serviced by Coon Rapids. Mayor Windschit1 noted they are proposing to have a uniform rate for all Andover residents. Mrs. Mardaus - asked if there is only one house on a 10-acre lot, are they charged, only one connection charge for that house. Mayor Windschitl explained the engineers make a determination of how many buildable lots the parcel can generate and make the assessment based on the number of buildable lots for both water and sewer. Mrs. Mardaus - stated the CountY,decided what they wanted assessed, and they don't have to pay for all of their land in that area. Mr. Davidson explained that is a different situation in that the County parcel is outside of the Urban Service area. In order to include that 40 acres into the District, the City must petition the Metropolitan Council and either show there is not five years of available housing on the sewer system or mitigate by subtracti~g 40 acres from somewhere else. Regular City Council Meeting June 3, 1986 - Minutes Page 8 (Public Hearing - 86-3/Bunker Lake Boulevard, Continued) Ms. Mardaus - stated when it is determined how many houses can be developed on a 10-acre lot, is there any consideration as to what is presently there. She stated her house is in such a position that it will always take two acres. Also, there is a swamp next to her. Mr. Davidson stated if there is a situation where topographically or because of wetland or physical characteristis of the lot, that it is taken into account during the assessment process. If it is a permanent wetland and cannot be filled and used, it is removed from the assessment. Ms. Mardaus - didn't believe their wetland would ever be buildable. Wi 11 someone tell them exactly how many lots they are talking about with regard to their parcel. Mr. Davidson stated they would look at each lot individually. The determination of this hearing is whether or not the improvement should be made. The assessment normally would follow the construction of the project in the fall. (7) - if the determination is made that the improvement will proceed and the assessments are made, at what point in time does the present owaer become liable and obligated for the assessment before he can sell his property. Mr. Davidson explained normally when any assessment improvement is ordered, there is a pending assessment that relates to the project. If the property owner is going to mortgage the property after the assessment is levied, banks normally require an escrow of 1\ times the pending assessment until the assessment is called. If the se11in9 and buyer and mortgager agree, the property can be sold with the pending assessment to be paid by the buyer. It is a personal contract between the buyer and seller. ';(7), -I when the City decides that that section is going to be improved, at that pOlnt it becomes a pending assessment. Mr. Davidson stated thaL is correct, but there would not be a lateral assessment until he and the neighbors petitioned for the lateral to be extended into that plat. However, there would be an area and connection charge pending against the property as a result of this project due and payable as the Council directs. Councilman Lachinski felt it is a matter of economics as to whether or not the southern portion should be serviced from Coon Rapids. He felt the user fees through Coon Rapids are lower, though the area and connection charges may be higher to their residents. He understood Andover would pay the difference in area and connection charges between the Coon Rapids amount and what would be charged to the Andover residents. Mrs. Mardaus - stated they would be taxed for residential property, but isn't it zoned commercial. Councilman Ortte1 stated commercial rates would be considerably higher. Don Wolke - stated water and sewer is going down Bunker Lake Boulevard and they wl11 be assessed for the trunk line in two years or less. So anyone on Jay Street is going to pay for the trunk line and get assessed now if the hearing is passed tonight. Council stated that is correct and a 4/5 vote is needed to approve the proj ect. Mr. Wolke - stated if the six southern lots are serviced from Coon Rapids, would they get assessed as they are hooked up from Coon Rapids? Mayor Windschit1 stated the Andover water system will be there in a short period of time because it is coming in from the west. The sanitary sewer and storm sewer are being discussed with Coon Rapids, and possibly the water system as well. He fe 1t the decision needs to be made whether those lots should be served from Coon Rapids or Andover and determine how and when they are to be assessed. Wayne Olson - stated his property is all swamp, asking how many buildable lots could be on that. Mr. Davidson thought that has already been deleted as wetland and not assessable at this point. Regular City Council Meeting June 3, 1986 - Minutes Page 9 (Public Hearing - 86-3/Bunker Lake Boulevard, Continued) Mr. Olson - stated if some day he improves it and can build on it, would he be assessed at that time. Mr. Davidson stated it would be assessed the year it is buildable; the assessment would be today's costs inflated to the year of bui 1 dab i1 ity. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by art tel , to close the public portion of the hearing. Motion carried fl. 4~Ye9" l,;,Absent (Elling) vote. Council discussed whether or not the southern 60 acres on Jay Street should be serviced through the Coon Rapids system as proposed by the Engineers. Mr. Schrantz suggested if a developer along Jay Street wants to install sewer and water before Andover is ready to provide service, the developer should be charged Goon Rapid's rates. And the residents living there would be charged Andover's rate. Or possibly a determination would be made that the residents are prematurely served and not assessed at that time. Council noted there would be pipe in the ground and it would be expensive for the City to carry that. Councilman Ortte1 stated he didn't have a problem with some deferral for those residents on 10-acre lots in Watts Garden Acres. Mayor Windschit1 stated he did meet with the school district.and county representatives this week. The site in Andover is one of their preferred sites, but no commitment has yet been made. Councilman Orttel stated the residents in Watts Garden Acres are greatly impacted by this project. He suggested rezoning the property to residential, since that is the present use on those parcels; and then determine any deferrals, terms, conditions, etc. However, the costs would need to be paid to Coon Rapids, even if it is , deferred, should they be served through Coon Rapids. The Engineers stated there is quite a grade on Jay Street, and it would definitely be a lot cheaper to serve the southern portion through Coon Rapids. Council suggestdon was to take the lateral down to Jay Street as far as possible at the same time as any line would be coming up from Coon Rapids. Then everyone would be treated the same and assessed at the same time. The assessment could still be deferred for residential properties. Another suggestion was to draw the line for this project at the point where the Andover lateral line would stop and eliminate anything south of that from this project. At such time as utilities are petitioned for on the southern portion of Jay Street, the public hearings would be held for just that area. Mr. Mardaus - asked if the consideration is taking out the lower 60 acres and ellmlnatlng it from the project. Mayor Wiridschitl stated yes with the thought it would be assessed with the Coon Rapids project whenever that went. , Mr. Smith - stated they live in Andover and they'd like it to be left in Andover. Mr. Mardaus - understood the lateral would come down Jay Street but his lot faces Hanson Boulevard. Would that line have to come all the way through his property from Jay Street? Mr. Schrantz stated he would be assessed for his western portion for sewer, but his house would not be assessed. Mr. Mardaus - asked if it is logical to assess him and not be able to use it. Mayor Wlndschit1 explained property must receive a benefit from the improvement before it can be assessed. How the benefit is used is up to each property owner. Mr. Mardaus - stated it gives him no benefit, that it is an ultimatum. Mayor Wlnd6chit1 explained the property could only be divided for as many houses as can be subdivided per the ordinances. Regular City Council Meeting June 3, 1986 - Minutes Page 10 (Public Hearing - 86-3/Bunker Lake Boulevard, Continued) Councilman Orttel asked the residents of the six lO-acre lots in the southern area whether they would like the property rezoned to residential. Those present all said they favored that. Councilman Lachinski then suggested assessing the entire:area, but for those five or six parcels on Jay Street that have residential houses on them, the assessment would be deferred with regard to connection charges for a three- year period. Mr. Olson - stated his lard doesn't join Jay Street. Mayor Windschitl stated there was some question as to whether his parcel was even buildable and assessable. That parcel has been taken out of the assessment area. Council also explained that deferment and that the interest rate would be locked in at today's rate. JoAnn Wilber; Jay Street - asked what difference does it make where the line is drawn between somebody on the north side versus the south side. Councilman Lachinski understood the southern portion of Jay Street is difficult to service through the Andover line. Councilman Orttel also noted in the past they have allowed residential properties to be deferred and all those above those six lots are actively engaged in commercial uses. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Lachinski, introducing a Resolution ordering the improvement of watermain and sanitary sewer, Project No. 86-3, in the Bunker Lake Boulevard/Hanson Boulevard area and directing preparation of final plans and specifications as prepared with the understanding that the developed residential parcels on the south end of Jay Street would be eligible for ,deferment of up to three years for connection charges for both sewer and water; however, the assessment would become effective at any time the property was developed prior to that time. (See Resolution R067-86) DISCUSSION: Mr. Smith - didn't feel his concern was addressed, that being the lateral coming ln a lot quicker if Coon Rapids brings it in. Council stated that would require another public hearing. Mr. Davidson asked for direction on the Alternative A north and Alternative A east from Hanson Boulevard. They were not sure whether the developer wanted both parcels included at this point. Ron Smith - stated they want utilities all the way to the railroad tracks. Mayor Windschltl stated they should present a preliminary plat on the property so the proper right of way, etc., can be determined, and the public hearing could be waived for that. At this point the Council agreed the project would consist of the basic project to Hanson Boulevard, excluding the Alternatives at this time. Mr. Olson - asked if the Council knew anything about the east-west connector street between Andover and Coon Rapids. Council didn't know if there has been any success in negotiating that connector street, which would basically be the equivalent of I33rd from the realignment of Crooked Lake Boulevard to Hanson Boulevard. Mr. Smith - stated to the west it has been roughed in and they must stay to the south in Coon Rapids past his property because he is only 12 feet from the property line. They are staying within Coon Rapids now and have put stakes across the Olson property. Mr. Olson - stated he owns the southern most parcel in Andover and the northern most parcel in Coon Rapids. His property has been staked but no one has approached him regarding right of way. Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Absent (Elling) vote. Regular City Council Meeting June 3, 1986 - Minutes Page 11 JUNKYARD PUBLIC HEARING, CONTINUED (9:55 p.m.) Mr. Johnson stated the Building Inspector viewed the yard today and stated there are four cars that are crushed still standing and four other junk cars on the wrong side of the fence. Plus there are some licensed vehicles. Mr. Barta - stated the ones that are crushed are on the truck. Bob Pears - stated all the trucks standing there belong to Jim's Plumbing and Heatlng which is doing a lot of plumbing within the City of Andover. Those trucks roll every day and are all currently licensed with-the State of Minnesota. He didn't know what time the Inspector was there, stating he was there four times himself today. He felt it was unfair to check the property during working hours. He made a special point to go by there before coming to this meeting, stating it is cleaned up. Mr. Barta - showed pictures of the yard taken at 6:30 this evening indicating it is cleaned up. Mr. Pears - stated they are now hauling some Class 5 in there. Once that is tlxed up, there should be no reason to have the semi loaded on this side of the fence. Council agreed to approve the license subject to the final inspection tomorrow morning. Mayor Windschitl asked for a motion to that effect. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Ortte1, to so move. Motion carried on a 4-Yes, T:ÄbSënt (Elling) vote. Council recessed at 10:03; reconvened at 10:10 p.m. PRAIRIE OAKS FINAL PLAT Mr. Schrantz stated there is not much top soil on the boulevards, suggesting the warranty escrow be increased to $4,000 for that purpose. If the seeding takes, the escrow would be returned; if it doesn't take, the escrow would be used to add topsoil and reseed. Mayor Windschit1 felt there will be problems with the radius. on the curb with the way it.is constructed now. Mr. Schrantz stated they are probably according to the ordinance, but they had been using 50 mph ones instead. At the time of paving, the status of the driveway was not known. Since then, the individual decided to close off the driveway, so the radius could have been brought around. Attorney Hawkins stated the title is all right. The developers stated the park fees and escrow will be paid tomorrow. They asked if that much is needed for any additional seeding and topsoil. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, that we approve the Final Plat of Prairie Oaks as presented with the completion of the following items: warranty escrow for one year in the amount of $4,000, subject to the payment of park fees and all other fees and costs as presented by the City Administrator. (See Resolution R068-86) DISCUSSION: The developers asked if there is any possibility that the extra $2,000 for seeding could be released before the year is up. Council agreed the escrow could be separated between boulevard and seeding. Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Absent (E11ing) vote. MENKVELD COMPANY REZONING MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Lachinski, a Resolution as presented approving a _........ . rezonlng requested by the Menkveld Company to rezone the property located ln Section 34-24-32 from M-l and M-2 to R-4, Single Family Residential. Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Absent (Elling) vote. Regular City Council Meeting June 3, 1986 - Minutes Page 12 SPECIAL USE PERMIT/CONTINENTAL DEVELOPMENT, CONTINUED Mayor Windschitl stated in looking at the extension of the sewer and water up Hanson Boulevard almost to Coon Creek, he had no doubt that at some point in time the property in question should be rezoned down to an R-4 and platted under urban ordinances. He felt there will be a continual demand for sewer and water into that area. He also felt the variance request before them is troublesome. Councilman Ortte1 suggested the hardship had to do with the proximity to the landfill and to the sewered district; Planning would dictate that the City does not want that land but to keep it free until the extension of those utilities. Councilman Lachinski also felt the reason this would be done is because of its proximity. If the sewer line is extended to Coon Creek this year, he felt it would only be a matter of five years or so before this parcel could be serviced. Mayor Windschitl stated in talking with the Metropolitan Council, they are amenable to changing boundaries if the acreage is substitued for other areas that would be taken out of the Urban Service area. He felt it would take about a year to complete that process. Council discussed various options for developing the parcel and for processing the semi-private green areas being proposed. Chuck Cook, Developer - stated ultimately his first desire in platting the property would be R-4 and he is interested in pursuing that possibility. However, they have a lot of time invested in the density zoning concept, feeling it would be appropriate to make a decision on the density zoning so in the event the R-4 zoning efforts fail, they'd have the ultimate solution in place without having to start over again. Discussion returned to the variance request. Mr. Hawkins explained! the ordinance states the green area shall be added to public open space. He felt the City could either take a deed with a reversion clause that indicates that the title would revert back again only at the time the sewer is available and it is rezoned. Or it could be done through a lease agreement for a term that would terminate on that same type of event. He felt it would come off the tax rolls in either case. Dick Schneider - stateè from listening to the discussion, the hearing is a farce feellng thë-íIem is cut and dried. The developer is coming in with the plat next week before the P & Z and nothing has been approved yet. He stated he definitely feels that the special use and variance should both be denied. If the Council wants to change it, he felt it should be properly done by rezoning to R-4, thinking that is the most logical way to do it. He stated this special use is making a mockery out of the ordinance. Mayor Windschitl felt it would take about <a year to include this area in the MUSA line and there would have to be some trade-offs. Councilman Orttel stated this is a very narrow corridor, questioning how it would be financed to bring the utility lines to service just this property. His idea was this was an interim way to preserve this for the future so utilities would not be forced onto existing residents. Councilman Lachinski also stated the reason people opposed the one- acre lots was the fear of premature expansion of the sewer. By going to R-4, the line would go right past Hartfie1ds, and that is not what is wanted. A developer - stated he does a lot of building in Coon Rapids and they are changing thelr MUSA line in a matter of a couple weeks. He asked if it is necessary that the MUSA line be changed to include sewer and water. Mayor Windschitl stated in this case, yes. This area is physically outside the MUSA line at this time, so a boundary change needs to be done. In looking at the growth pattern, there is no question that it is the large open spaces left which will be developed. Regular City Council Meeting June 3, 1986 - Minutes Page 13 (Special Use Permit/Contingental Development, Continued) Develo~er - asked if there is any problem bringing the line across the creek. Counci noted there are extra costs involved with bringing it across the creek, and the Council's position has been to use an inverted siphon rather than a lift station. Councilman Orttel suggested the arrangement for the open space also require the developer to make an in-lieu of payment for the taxes that would be generated from that property. MOTION by Orttei, Seconded by Lachinski, that we direct the City Staff to prepare a Resolution approving the Special Use Permit for denisty zoning requested by Contin~ntaL Development Corporation for property described as the north half of the northwest quarter of Section 26, Township 32, Range 24 except the east 100 feet thereof for the following reason: proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of the community; it will not cause serious traffic congestion; it will not seriously depreciate surrounding property values; it is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan; that the primary reason for the approval of this request has to do with the property's close proximity to the Urban Service Area and to the hazardous waste site to the south of it; and that the matter regarding open space be referred to the City Attorney to develop an acceptable method whereby the City will acquire the open space until such time as the municipal utilities become available to the property and that the open space agreement be approved by the deve 1 oper. (See Resolution R069-86) DISCUSSION: Dave Schneider - asked if a lift station was needed to cross the creek, would 160 acl'E>S justify the cost of it or would more area have to be brought in. Mayor Windschitl noted the key to the economics of bringing in the utilities and to the development of that area is what Mr. Ho1asek will do with his property because of the amount of land he has. It is his understanding the Metropolitan Council will not stop growth and will try to give the equivalent of five year's availability. VOTE ON MOTION: YES-Lachinski, Orttel, Windschitl;·NO-Knight; ABSENT-Elling Motion carried. Dick Schneider - stated it is a sorry state of affairs when everything is cut and drled before the public hearings. He stated he heard the rumors that this would be passed, and it was true. He stated the Council didn't listen to what the property owners in the area wanted. Council noted the discussions began some time ago asking the developer to consider density zoning as a proposal, and the first attempt was to actually create a transition zone. They felt they did listen to the people and not that many people testified. Mr. Schneider - stated the hearings were so late most of the residents'had to leave. MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Lachinski, that we disapprove the request for variance for Contin~l3tal·, Development Corporation to retain the open space in their density zoning project in private ownership due to the fact that the hardship of the land has not been established. (See Resolution R070-86) Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Absent (Elling) vote. Councilman Lachinski left the meeting at this time. 11:00 p.m. CROOKED LAKE CLEANUP SURVEY MaYJr Windschit1 understood the Watershed Board will contribute $5,000, which is the match for the feasibility study. Mr. Schrantz explained they are now looking for a commitment as to whether Andover will proceed to match the funds;for whatever Special City Council Meeting June 3, 1986 - Minutes Page 14 (Crooked Lake Cleanup Survey, Continued) cleanup project is proposed by the feasibility report. It is estimated the City's share would be $10,000, making the assumption Andover would contribute the same amount as Coon Rapids. Council indicated they had trouble contributing the same amount as Coon Rapids. William Kurdziel - stated AndQver, Goon Rapids, Anoka County, the DNR, the Highway Department, MPCA, and other agencies are looking to see what can be done to manage the lake. Once the study is done, they need a commitment from the different organizations to do something in a joint effort. The monies will probably not be needed before another year, but a decision needs to be made because the grant runs out July 1, 1987. They are asking that Andover make a commitment from the 1987 budget. He thought Andover's share would be $9,750 because the Crooked Lake Area Association will contribute $500. They hope to draw some money from Anoka County as well, which would reduce Andover's share. Jim Seeman - felt it is important to recognize there will always be a conflict with Coon Rapids if Andover insists on paying less because of less residents, less shoreline, etc. He felt the two cities have to be equal partners with equal voting rights and equal input. They have tried to minimize the inpact on everyone, and they will proceed in an attempt to obtain other funding with the other agencies involved. He encouraged Andover to pull its fair share and allocate the resources as equal partners with Coon Rapids. Mr. Schrantz stated Coon Rapids has indicated they may assess for their share. Mayor Windschit1 stated Andover's position is not to get into an assessment program. Councilman Orttel stated he disagreed with the fact that Andover should share equally with Coon Rapids. But he also felt it is worth it to the residents of Andover to spend the $9,750 and forget what Coon Rapids is doing. It is also in the range of what was talked about previously, the understanding being that it would be spread over a two-year period. He also agreed it should be outside of the park budget. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, that we authorize an expenditure up to $9,750, out of the 1987 and 1988 budgets to be used for a project for the cleanup of Crooked Lake to be approved by the Andover City Council. Motion carried on a 3-Yes, 2- Absent (Elling, Lachinski) vote.

Carlson with the provisions as presented. (See Resolution R073-86) Motion carried on a 3-Yes, 2-Absent (Elling, Lachinski) vote. Special City Council Meeting June 3, 1986 - Minutes Page 15 BOND SALE Attorney Hawkins opened the three bids received for a $1,795,000 General Ob1i9ation Improvement Bond to fir.1ance the sewer extension and intErrraJ improvements for part of the Good Value property: 1.

Frank Stone also noted the playground equipment has not yet been put back, and the residents are starting to complain. Council asked that the Engineer get a commitment from the contractor as to when these things will be done. Chairman Kinkade noted the topsoils have been placed on the Hidden Creek park, but he was not sure if that was the final grade on the ballfield. The berm has no topsoil on it yet, asking if that is going to be done. Mr. Schrantz stated yes. Chairman Kinkade was concerned with seeding because there are a lot of dirt bikes riding around in that area. If the bikers can't be stopped, there is no sense seeding. Mr. Schrantz stated it has to be seeded. He also suggested posting the area for "No Motorized Vehicles". Council agreed to try that. Chairman Kinkade asked if the City has acquired the tax forfeit land in the Russell Stack Addition. Mr. Schrantz stated that has been done but the paperwork has not yet reached the office from the county. Chairman Kinkade asked if Kelsey Park has been staked yet. Mr. Schrantz stated no. Mayor Windschitl asked if there is staff available to do it. He felt the decision should be made as to whether the staff will do it or whether it should be hired out. Mr. Stone stated in a few more weeks he will have JETA help available, indicating possibly it could be done then. It was agreed to see if this can be staked by July 1. Special City Council Meeting June 3, 1986 - Minutes Page 16 (Park and Recreation Commission, Continued) Chairman Kinkade indicated in the Hidden Creek plat,; the deve 1 orer had agreed to pay the park dedication fee at the time of the final plat of the first phase. He stated they still owe for 1.3 acres. Mr. Schrantz stated all that needs to be done is for him to determine the amount, and he has not had time to do so. Chairman Kinkade asked if it is the Council's desire to finish that park up in the 1987 budget. Council felt that would be a reasonable thing to do. APPROVAL OF CLAIMS MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Orttel, the payment of bills, Checks 11113 through Checks 11158 for a total of $314,115.27.

PROJECT 85-8B/SOILS PROBLEMS Mr. Davidson reviewed his June 2, 1986, letter to the Council regarding the encounter with an unexpectedly deep layer of peat which has made it unfeasible: to continue with construction of the trunk sanitary sewer and watermain as currently designed. Cost estimates to use sheeting to stab1ize the trench have run in excess of $250,000. Due to the fact that the change in contract would exceed 25 percent of the basic contract bid, they recommend terminating the contract at the pregent location; contruct a manh01e at that point, and pay for work complete to that point. Then he suggested rebidding the balance of this project with the 86-3 improvement ordered this evening. That would delay the project 4 to 6 weeks. MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Knight, we authorize the consulting engineer to deal wlth the attorney to approve a method of terminating the contract with Kenko Construction for future construction on the 85-88 project.

FRANKLIN FUND INVESTMENTS Attorney Hawkins felt there are some things the representative from Franklin Fund should put in letter form. One is the effect on the net asset value as the Ginnie Mae mortgages are paid off. Also, what he anticipates a change in interest rates will affect the net asset value of each share. Mr. Hawkins did feel it is a good idea to start moving some money out into longer-term investments to get better yields on it. Mr. Hawkins also stated the City does have the right to withdraw the funds at any time, and it can be monitored daily..in the paper. There are some risks in the Ginnie Mae funds, and those pros and cons should be explained in written form. Mr. Johnson stated the gentleman from Franklin Fund is willing to come out to talk to the Council about this. There are funds coming due tomorrow that he needs to reinvest.
