Motion carried unanimousJy. ORDINANCE 8S AMENDMENT Commissioner d'Arcy BoselJ, P & Z, reviewed the intent of their recommendation Is on certain types of homes, the one-foot overhang is not appropriate. It was feJ t the ordinance should be amended to al Jow such construction provided it meets the specifications set out by the Building Official. This gives the Building Official some flexibiJity for design and style of houses. After some discussion, Counc i I generaJly agreed such plans should be approved by the Building OfficiaJ and not the Andover Review Commi t tee. MOTION by E1Jing, Seconded by Knight, Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 8, adopted October 21, 1971, known as the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Andover as presented, mOdifying 8.23, Section 4, and strike "and/or Andover Review Committee". Motion carried unanimously. ORDINANCE 8. SECTION 8.08 AMENDMENT Commissioner Bosel J explained the intent behind the recommendation to maintain 10-foot wide parking stalls is to eliminate the knicks received in car doors from parking stalls that are too narrow. Wi th the reduction in the length of the parking stal I to 18 feet, the amendment sti J I ailows the developer a more dense use of the property. Regular City Council Meeting August 4, 1987 - Minutes Page 3 (Ordinance 8, Section 8.08 Amendment) Mayor Windschit] noted many of the businesses have already received variances from the ordinance for 9 x 18-foot staJ Is. Commissioner Bosell explained the Planning Commission feels 9-foot stal Is are too narrow and that It was a mistake to aJlow them. They are now taking a position to correct that by recommending 10-foot staJ]s. Tom Grad. 4820 159th Avenue - preferred the 10-foot wide stal Is because there are stiJJ quite a few large cars. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Apel, the amendment as presented. DISCUSSION: Mayor Windschitl asked If there there is an engineering standard for parking stall sizes. The vote for this item was ca I led later In the meeting after the City Administrator researched the Item. KARIN TROST VARIANCE Commissioner Bosell reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve the variance request of Karin Trost to vary from Ordinance 8 to al low for inventory to be kept in an attached garage at 13842 Northwood Drive. Counc i 1 discussed whether an attached garage is considered an accessory bui]ding. Attorney Hawkins reviewed the Ordinance definitions that an attached garage is construed to be a separate building for the purposes of home occupations. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, a Resolution approving a variance requested by Karin Trost to allow for inventory to be stored in an attached garage at 13842 Northwood Drive, Lot 1 , Block 4, Northwoods Addition, as presented. (See Resolution RI42-87) Dr SCUSSI ON: There was some concern about varying from the home occupation provisions of the ordinance. John Trost. 13842 Northwoods Drive - was concerned with the legalities of his purchase agreement i f this Is stalled this evening, as he has inventory being shipped In the next day or so. He stated he would like to see an agreement reached this evening. Counc i 1 did not want to see the ordinance broken to al low garage operations such as auto body repair, etc. It was cJarlfied the resolution allows for storage only of inventory in the attached garage. Motion carried unanimously. ORDINANCE 8. SECTION 8.08 AMENDMENT. CONTINUED Mr. Schrantz stated the engineering manuals did not indicate a standard for the wIdth of parking stal Is, but he said Fridley has 10-foot wide stalls. VOTE ON MOTION: Carried unanimously. Regular City Council Meeting August 4, 1987 - Minutes Page 4 TONY EMMERICH LOT SPLIT MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, a Resolution approving a lot split as requested by Anthony Emmerich for property in Section 28 32 24 as presented. (See Resolution RI43-87) Motion carried unanimously. 159TH AVENUE PROBLEM Council noted the swIng and the platform are no longer up along the Rum River and the parking has been extended. It was also understood the Anoka County Mediation Service has scheduled a meeting with the neighbors about this issue. Janet Conwav - stated it hasn't stopped the parties. She also stated no meeting was held and not everyone has been contacted. John Lvnch. 159th - stated the person in charge of the Mediation Service is on vacation this week but she has contacted the people. Mr. Schrantz stated he talked with Mr. Buba, who indicated he met with some of the neighbors and has agreed to put up some posts. He wanted to know where to put the posts. Mr. Schrantz told him the City would work with him and also help with No Trespassing signs. Mr. Lvnch - stated he talked with Mr. Buba last Sunday evening out in the street with three deputies, who were there because of an Incident there. Attorney Hawkins stated If Mr. Buba does not want the people on that property, the police can be given permission to arrest them. Mr. Grad - stated the probJem Is Mr. Buba has a 16-year-old son who also uses the property with friends. So when there are 50 people there from all over the cities and the deputies are cal led, everyone simply says they have permission to be there from the son. Attorney Hawkins stated unless Mr. Buba has taken some affirmative steps to get his son and friends out of there, the City can prosecute him for maintainIng a pub] ic nuisance. Ms. Conwav - stated Mr Buba was invited to a meeting last night, but could not attend, stating he would be at tonight's Council meeting. But he is not here. Ron Hudak. 159th Avenue - stated the meeting that took place last Sunday was because of a police call. The only attempt Mr. Buba ever made was a result of this meeting when two poles were put up. But that was the only effort made since this has been going on last spring. Ms. Conwav - explained a portion of the area Is owned by Chuck Johnson, who lives In Florida, part is owned by Mr. Buba, and part by Mr. Smi tho She thought Mr. Johnson may be open to giving permission for something to be done if he were contacted. She asked if the Regular City Council Meeting August 4, 1987 - Minutes Page 5 (159th Avenue Problem, Continued) landowner is liable if somethIng happens on their property. Attorney HawkIns suggested writing the indivIduals involved, tell ing them of the problem, asking them to give the CIty the authority to put up No Trespassing sIgns and tel I people to get off of the property. Then if people do not get off, the CIty has the right to arrest them for trespassing. Attorney HawkIns stated if the No Trespassing signs are taken down, a] I the Deputies have to do is give notice once. If they are back on the property, they can then be arrested. Mr. Grad - stated the Deputies have told them they cannot enforce the No TrespassIng signs unless the signs are there. Attorney Hawkins stated the Deputies need to be informed because if someone is told not to be on the property and Is later found there, he can be arrested for trespassing. Mr. Grad - stated that is what they want to happen, but it doesn't. Ms. Conwav - stated many of the people there are repeaters, and they are not all frIends of Mr. Buba's son. She asked If there Is any way the police can act, wIth the permIssion of the landowner, to tag, tow, etc. Attorney Hawkins stated yes. If the CIty gets the permissIon that there is to be no trespassing on there, the police first issues a warning. If they are found there again, they are arrested. Mr. Hudak - suggested a barricade be placed to keep the cars out of the properties. Then there would be no place for anyone to park. Mr. Grad - recommended steeJ pipe with concrete or three feet of tar across the openIng, otherwise the barricades wi]1 simply be removed by the kIds. DiscussIon continued with the residents present and the Attorney on methods to eliminate the problem in that area, basica] ly agreeing to have the Attorney contact the three property owners Involved and to barricade the properties so cars cannot park on them. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, to direct the City Attorney to draft letters to the three property owners, the Bubas, the Johnsons, and the Smi ths, in the area of 159th Avenue near the river, advIsing them of the problems that have taken place on their properties and that the CIty believes they are maintaIning a public nuIsance by the continuation of those activities, and asking for their permissIon to enforce No Trespassing on those propertIes or to barricade the properties in such a way as to alleviate the problem; without that the CIty Attorney is to proceed with prosecution for the maintaining of a public nuisance. DISCUSSION: Regular City Council Meeting August 4, 1987 - Minutes Page 6 (159th Avenue Problem, Continued) A resident asked if the deputIes can put that area on their regular patrol so they do not have to cal1 the pol ice all the time. Mayor Windschitl stated yes, that he would talk with the Deputies about that. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, that we authorize Public Works Department to design and instal I barricades sufficient to keep the trespassers off the properties on 159th Avenue area near the river, within reasonable cost. Motion carried unanimously. Counc I I asked that the barricades be put up as soon as possible. Bob D i I I on - thought i f the properties along the river are barricaded, they wi 11 move to Ventry Street, which is an easement off Buba's property. There is sti I 1 a question as to whether that is a City easement, and he asked the Council to address that possibility. Mayor Wi ndsch it I thought that should be addressed in the letter to Mr. Buba. Discussion was then on the problem of three-wheelers speeding up and down 159th Avenue. Mr. Grad - asked about the legality of three wheelers on City streets. Mayor Windschitl stated they must be equipped and licensed just like other motorized vehicles. Mr. Grad - related incidents of speeding three wheelers along 159th, the destruction being caused by them, and the nuisances created. Attorney Hawkins stated if the residents know who is driving the vehicle, they can file a complaint wIth the Police Department, who will then refer it to the County Attorney. Mr. Hudak - explained how kids are tearing up the field behind him with all-terrain vehicles, and how it is going on constantly. Mayor Windschitl stated he would check with the Sheriff's Department as to whether they have a special vehicle they could use to patrol the area. Residents suggested the worst periods are Friday and Saturday evenings. HILLS OF BUNKER LAKE SECOND ADDITION FINAL PLAT APPROVAL MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, a Resolution approving the finaJ plat of the Hills of Bunker Lake 2nd Addition being deveJoped by Hi I ls, Inc. , as presented, but revised to include the following: Add an Item 4 in the final NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, "The developer wi 11 be required to enter into a Development Contract for the installation of utilities and streets, and escrow 15 percent of the total cost of the improvement." (See Resolution RI44-87) Motion carried unanimously. Regular City Council Meeting August 4, 1987 - Minutes Page 7 MENKVELD SKETCH PLAN Art Rautio, developer of the property - reviewed the sketch plan for property owned by Gilbert Menkveld north of Bunker Lake Boulevard. He explained the original sketch plan called for 66 10ts. This one has fewer lots, as he has pulled the northern lots down to save the existing trees and taken lots out of the wetland area. Mr. Schrantz explained the Andover Review Committee recommended moving the north/south exit onto Bunker Lake Boulevard to the west to line up with the proposed road that would come out of the Industrial park. Mr. Rautio thought he could place that road to match a proposed road to the south. He also said there is consideration being given to excavating just west of that road and placing it on the western border, which is abutting the proposed Crosstown realignment, and to develop that area as a commercial site. Counc i I discussed the wetlands area, Mr. Rautio's proposal, and ponding. It was generally felt any excavation of the wetlands area would need to be engineered and discussed with the DNR. It was also felt because of the Red Oaks ponds project, no ponding would be needed in the plat itself. Discussion was then on the proposed street alignment. Counc i I generally had no problem with the cuI de sacs as proposed. They did feel, however, that the stub street to the east should be further north. At the location shown, It was felt the existing buildings would prohibit the street from ever being extended. Counc i I then directed the staff to contact the property owners to the east regarding their plans for the development of that property and to determine what the best street alignment would be for that entire area. The recommendation of the Andover Review Committee regarding the lowest basement elevation of three feet above the mottled soi1 was also discussed. Dave Almgren, Building Official, stated that is norma I I Y on 1 y on the rural lots and not on the urban lots. Mr. Haas stated they have been using it on all subdivisions. Counc i 1 had no further comment on the sketch plan. INDUSTRIAL PARK Mayor Wlndschitl expressed some frustration over the progress of the industrial park plat. Mr. Schrantz stated the Planning Commission wi 11 be hearing it on August 25 and is also working on the recommended zoning for the area. Mr. Davidson proposed they go ahead with the Regular City Council Meeting August 4, 1987 - Minutes Page 8 CIndustrial Park, Continued) plans and specifications for the grading, stating those wi I] be ready for action at the next meeting. He also stated the Verdin Street design is taking place right now and the utilities would fol low. Mr. Davidson also stated there have been some meetings with Mr. O]son regarding the right of way for extending the street to the east. Commissioner Bosel I stated the Commission met this evening to discuss the zoning of the industrial park and reviewed the discussions to date. At this time they are leaning toward a General Business district and are composing a list of businesses that would be allowed in that area. She asked if the Counc i I is considering different uses along the district, such as heavier uses In the center, Industrial uses along Hanson Boulevard, etc. Also, they have not seen anything with regard to the plat of the Sonterre property. Mayor Windschitl stated they were looking at the entire district as one use. Councilman Orttel thought the Intent would be that it be more industrial and commercial than retai I uses, and that heavy industrial would not be desirable. Counc i I also directed that the Planning Commission be given copies of the proposals for the industria] park prepared by TKDA. Counc i I recessed at 9:32; reconvened at 9:44 p.m. CONROY PROPERTY MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, that the Counc i I direct the staff to prepare a letter to the County of Anoka and Assistant County Attorney at the Anoka County Government Center noting the Andover City Council's approval of the splitting of the Conroy property such that Mrs. Conroy would be allowed to retain the area encompassing her tennis court and driveway, approximately 80 feet west and immediately adjacent and to the west of her property, subject to the paying of the specia] assessments based on a maximum of 80 feet front footage, and that the property then be combined into one parcel. Mot i on carried unanimously. Elmer Herr. 139th Avenue - stated he would ]Ike to have the City buy the property that is always flooding from the storm sewer outlet or fix up the pipe. The pipe extends only 60 feet, and that leaves 90 feet of his property open. He expressed frustration with the flooding and wi th the debris that col lects in his yard from the storm sewer drainage. Regular City Council Meeting August 4, 1987 - Minutes Page 9 (Conroy Property, Continued) Mr. Schrantz stated the Red Oaks ponds drainage project wi I I not solve Mr. Herr's problem. The area in the back of Mr. Herr's yard Is in the flood zone for high water. It was his opinion that even if the pipe were lengthened, the water would work its way back to the present level. Mr. Davidson stated the difficulty with extending the pipe is the bad soils past the present location and the minimum grade. He thought wi th the Crosstown relocation project, they might be able to improve on It somewhat in terms of defining the wetland. Mr. Davidson thought they may be able to lay corrlgated PVC pIpe wIth smooth interIor that has a tendency to float. Counc i I directed the Engineers to resolve the problem. CREEKRIDGE ESTATES/BACKYARD DRAINAGE Counc i I discussed the backyard drainage in Creekridge Estates. The Engineers were directed to check the elevation of the pond. If it does not meet the grading specs, the developer should be asked to make any corrections necessary. If the developer does not do so, the escrow funds can be used to correct any problem. If the grading specs were met, then the Counc I I felt it is a dispute between the developer and the homeowners. Mr. Schrantz was asked to talk to the developer about the problem. TIF COMMERCIAL POLICY Mr. Morey reviewed the Tax Increment FInancing policy of the cI ties of Coon Rapids, Anoka, Champlin, Fridley, and Blaine. Mayor Wlndschltl noted the entire tax Increment area in Andover is redevelopment property to create an Industrial/commercial base. He made the following proposal for property owners wanting to use TIF funds for redevelopment: For the public utilities of sewer, water, storm sewer, and streets, one-half of the costs would be written down. The other half of the cost of those utilities would be deferred until the property was sold and built upon. The owner could build that half of the assessments into the purchase price of the property or pass It onto the buyer. He felt this would al low all the parcels to develop wi thout a lot of up-front costs or risks and would encourage the property owners to redevelop. Attorney Hawkins also advised the City would enter into a development contract with the developer where the specifics of dollar value of the bui lding, type of Industry, etc., would be spelled out. Regular City Council Meeting August 4, 1987 - Minutes Page 10 (TIF Commercial PoJ icy, Continued) Counc I I discussed the proposaJ, raising the question of possible write-down for soils correction. Councilman EIJlng stated he would have no problem with the bad soils correction, but would not want to write-down soils correction for pol luted soils. Mayor Wlndschitl also felt that extra consideration would be considered on a case-by-case basis. Councilman Orttel also suggested the first ventures may receive additional consideration because it Is a gamble for them and more Incentive may be needed. Ceci I Heidelberoer - stated his 10 acres are 10 to 15 feet higher than Mr. Olson's; thinking to construct the road, the fill from his property would be needed. He stated he didn't want any part of developing his property, as he wants to sell and get out. He stated Merri J] Lynch would develop his property, but they want something in writing from the City as to what the City will offer. Counc i I discussion was then on ways of attracting businesses to the industrial area and on how the proposed TIF poJicy would work. Questions raised were what the costs to the City would be and what the market value of the lots would be. Mayor Wlndschitl then made the fol lowing proposal for using Tax Increment Financing on the CIty-owned Jots: Waive 100 percent of the special assessment costs for the first six lots. Waive only 50 percent of the assessments for the last six lots. Or, waive 75 percent of the assessments on the first six Jots and 50 percent on the last six. He estimated the cost for aJ I 12 lots would be about $500,000. He feJt more incentive should be provided for the first deveJopers. Counc i I agreed to continue the discussion to the special meeting on August 11, asking the staff to research the costs to the City using the policies suggested by the Mayor and to estImate the cost of a typical commercia] lot if the proposed policies were implemented. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, that we continue this to the meet! ng of the 11th. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. M. R. OJ son - expressed frustration with never getting information on what Is going on, that nothing has taken place in the past year, and that offers he has had for his property have proposed businesses that the Ci ty wi II not allow. He explained the most recent offer he has for a manufacturing/retail business for hi-tech air conditioning units, but the City said that type of business wouJd not be allowed there. At this point, the Counc i I though t it sounded ] I ke an acceptable business, suggesting more wi] I be known once the Planning Commission makes a recommendation on the zoning for the area. Regular CIty Council Meeti ng August 4, 1987 - Minutes Page 11 (TIF Commercial Pol Icy, Continued) Mr. HeidelberQer - expressed anger and frustration, stating he would lIke to sell to the CIty just lIke Mrs. Sonterre. He stated the CIty Hould not have to worry about any pollution problems, wIth the big Incentive being the fil I he has on hIs property for the proposed road through the area. He stated If the CIty does not buy 1 t, he wi 1 1 buy out Mom's Auto and start his own larger junkyard. Counc 11 noted the TIF commercIal policy should be adopted on August 11 and the zonIng should be completed by the P & Z very soon, so more defInite information on the TIF development of that area should be available shortly. CITY HALL ADDITION David Almgren, Bui lding OfficIal, reviewed the two bIds receIved for the addition to the CIty Hall and the three bids to move the septic system. Because the bids for the addition exceeded $15,000, Mr. HawkIns advised it must be put out on public bid or the project broken down into separate components. Mr. A]mgren agreed to look at the item further and brIng it back at the August 11 specia] meetIng. AWARD SEAL COAT BID MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by El ling, that we award the sealcoating to the lowest responsIble bIdder, AllIed Blacktop, In the amount of $58,865.50. Motion carried unanimously. Frank Stone, Public Works Supervisor, revIewed his August 4, 1987, memo regarding the use of the balance of the funds In the Crack SealIng Budget to purchase $3,366 worth of Crack Seal materIal, use $2,000 for Class 5 for Ward Lake DrIve, and use $2,500 to blacktop the rest of the Pub1ic Works area.

His position is the contractor was aware of the situation and how late in the year it was when accepting the project, and he is standing behind that estimate. Discussion with Mr. Davidson was on the situation with American Contracting, as they have not yet finalized the Hidden Creek project and therefore has not been allowed to begin the Woodridge Acres project. It was agreed to Inform the contractor to complete the one project or the City will do so using the escrow funds. Mr. Davidson said he would have more Information by the August 11 meeting. Me.

Regular City Council Meeting August 4, 1987 - Minutes Page 14 PONDING/COON CREEK & CROSSTOWN Mr. Davidson stated they have received verbal approval from the MPCA to use that site for storage and the County wants TKDA to provide a description of the easements. He stated he will ask for written approva I . He explained the contracts require storage of dirt from the Crosstown project on the landfi II site, then to be picked up by the sanitary sewer project and used for the cartway over the sewer line. Most of the dirt wi II be picked up, and whatever is not will be leveled over that site. That was the most open site and had the least impact on existing residents. They were told the City has no I iabi 1 i ty. Councilman El ling was concerned about takIng ownershIp of the pondIng, and asked to see a sketch of just what property is involved. Mr. DavIdson stated they have made arrangements with the County to take easement of the pond by Coon Creek next to Crosstown Boulevard. Council then discussed the problem of obtaining agreements for the Crosstown and Coon Creek sewer projects. Attorney Hawkins stated he just received the descriptions for the easements and will be proceeding on the condemnatIons. The item of whether or not the City wi II be incorporating the cartway over the sewer line along Coon Creek Into a park trail system was raIsed. After some discussIon, Counc 11 generally felt at this point only an easement for utility purposes would be acquired. DIscussion then turned to the issue of motorized vehicles using the cartway road and how to prevent it. It was generally agreed the City would do everything possible to keep motorized vehicles such as motorcycles, three-wheelers, etc., off that road, though no specific methods were approved at this time. The Engineers also stated the pipe along Coon Creek is only 4 feet into the water table and speculated it would not permanently affect any of the wel Is along Andover BouJevard. Attorney HawkIns stated he is gettIng appraIsals on the easements now, and wIll be able to provide dollar amounts to the individuals on the costs of the easements.
