Councilmen present: Apel, EJ I lng, Orttel Councilman absent: Knight Also present: City Attorney, William G. Hawkins; City Administrator, James Schrantz; and others SWEAR-IN CEREMONY/M. APEL Maynard ApeJ took the oath of office of Councilmember with the swearing-In ceremony conducted by Attorney Hawkins. Couci lman Apel is filling the unexpired term of Ted Lachlnski, who resigned from the Counc i 1 In June. RESIDENT FORUM John Handorf. 16379 Ward Lake Drive - stated he and many residents along Ward Lake Drive are here because they are upset with the way Ward Lake Drive has been taken care of over the last few years. He stated there has been no improvement in the last few years. When they were before the Council four years ago, they were told the road would be upgraded every year to improve the situation. Mr. Handorf stated there are many trucks from the north end coming through Ward Lake Drive, going at speeds in excess of 50 mph. Because of that, the road Is in terrible condition. He stated unless someone cal Is the City, the grader does not come out. Because of their unique situation, he felt the road should be graded on a weekly basis. Mayor WindschitJ explained all projects for paving the residential streets north of Ward Lake Drive were terminated Jast Thursday until the northern portion of Ward Lake Drive can be improved. The problem with paving Ward Lake Drive is it Is very expensive, one estimate being in excess of $1 mil lion. If the road were paved, it would either have to be assessed to the residents, which he didn't think would be acceptable, or paid for out of MSA funds. The Mayor felt once the northern portion of Ward Lake Drive from Hanson Boulevard to Audette's corner is paved, it may alleviate some of the problem with trucks using the southern end of the road. He also stated that the City has expended a lot of money on the southern portion of Ward lake Drive for gravel. Mr. Handorf - stated some people would disagree with that. He stated the people don't necessarily want blacktop but Just some Improvement to the road. Frank Stone, Public Works Supervisor, Regular City Council Meeting Ju1y 21, 1987 - Minutes Page 2 (Resident Forum, Continued) stated in 1985, 15 loads of CJass V were pJaced on the souther-n one-fourth mIle and in some 10w splots. He expJained the problem now with the sand underneath gIving way. He also noted the problem with grading In the dry weather Is that withIn a few hours, the road Is just as bad as It orlginaJly was. Alan Palo. 16608 Ward Lake DrIve - stated there are four- holes between County Road 18 and 170th that could use about sIx inches of grave I . He was told about a month ago that the engIneer- was goIng to look at those holes In the road. He thought 15 loads of Class V Is not an excessive amount of effor-t put Into that road. He though t adding some Class V to bInd the sand so it could be bladed wouJd go a long way to helping that road. He didn't think there was a need to talk about blacktop at this point, just norma I maintenance and Class V added at least every two years. He felt that would resolve most of the pr-oblem. Mayor Wlndschltl stated the City can do normal maintenance out of the ex i st! ng budget, but it cannot do an Improvement budget out of the general fund. The MSA funding is received every year, and the Idea is to see if there wI II be funds available to do the northern one-half mile of Ward Lake Drive next year. The Mayor stated everyone agrees i t Is not a good road, but the City does not have the funds to do anything until State Aid funds are availabJe, hopefullY for the northern portion next year. But he felt it would be a long time before that southern portion can be bJacktopped because the monies are not avaIlable. Wayne Holmberq, 17011 Ward Lake Driye - asked if there could be a maintenance plan and recognize that there needs to be more than the normal maintenance on this road because of the sod trucks on that road. Mr. Stone stated they try to get It graded once a week, but because of the sand, it does not hold. More raIn is needed to hold that road together. C I ass V wi J I be placed in those holes in the next couple weeks. No Counc i 1 action was taken. Jim Perry, 3151 164th Lane - complained the restoration and finishing on the street improvement project of 164th Lane has not been done in a satisfactory way. The pavement should go to the end of the easement, the boulevard is fuJI of weeds feeJing the black dirt and seed were contaminated, and several driveways have not been connected with the pavement. The contractor was supposed to finIsh in May, and he has been complaining ever since. He and several other neighbors pay to have their Jawn treated, and this situatIon is making the situation worse. Regular City CouncI1 MeetI ng July 21, 1987 - MInutes Page 3 (Resident Forum, Continued) Tom Gronler. 3020 164th Lane - stated his driveway stops 5 feet short of the street and 3 feet short of the apron. He has never been asked If he wants that 3-foot area blacktopped, stating he defInitely does what that f I]} ed In. Because he took the petItIon around to have the Improvement done, he is being contacted by the neighbors who are a]so upset and want to know when the job Is goIng to be fInished. Counc i 1 discussion noted the fInal payment has not yet been made to the contractor. The CIty Attorney and CIty EngIneer were dIrected to notify the contractor; and If he does not complete the project, the escrow funds wI}} be used to complete It. John Lvnch. 5020 159th Avenue and John Galden. 5151 159th - both approached the CouncIl statIng the no parkIng sIgns along 159th Avenue has not resolved the sItuation with kids usIng the swing on the Rum RIver and dIsruptIng the neIghborhood. They expressed frustration that it seems no one is able to do anythIng about the problem. Mr. Lynch stated Jack Buba, on whose property they park, would prefer they not park there but Is concerned with the ramIficatIons If he does somethIng. The rope swing is on Clyde SmIth's property, and It seems he doesn't care to do anythIng about it. Last night there were 12 to 15 people sittIng on lawn chairs in the mIddle of the street. Mr. Lynch stated he didn't even call the polIce. Saturday evenIng he saw a car driving down the road, goIng on the curbs and makIng deep ruts In his lawn. He did get the license plate number and filed a report. Mr. Ga]den stated hIs house was broken into last Saturday for the fIrst time ever. They park on his land. He was going to fence it, but they stole the fence posts. He stated they a]so take down the No Trespassing signs. He fe I tal ] of this is related to the rope swing on the rIver. He also noted incidences of drinkIng, open fIres, use of narcotics, etc. , and how it Is hidden and misrepresented when the police do respond to a complaint. Counc II discussed the situation and noted the frustration of the polIce as well. Counc II agreed to extend the no parking along 159th In an attempt to solve that problem. d' Arcy Bose] I , Zoning AdmInistrator, showed pIctures of the tIre swing and the platform constructed next to It. The constructIon of the platform is clearly a violation, and the DNR wIll be takIng steps to have it removed. She is meetIng with the DNR next Wednesday to discuss this matter. Counc I 1 suggested Ms. Bosell speak with Larry Stenquist about the situatIon. Counc i I also agreed to place thIs item on the next regular meetIng agenda to consider changing the ordinance to place No Parking signs further down 159th. Counc i I also asked that the Attorney be given the polIce reports regarding a11 incIdents relating to this Issue. Regula. City Council Meeting July 21, 1987 - Minutes Page 4 AGENDA APPROVAL MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, to approve the Agenda as written with the addition of 4k, Landf i 11 Fence. Motion carried unanImously. MEDIATION SERVICE - PRESENTATION/ANN WALLERSTEDT Ann Walle.stedt, Directo. of the Mediation Service for Anoka County, gave the Council information about their program, reviewed what they have done to date, and asked Andover to consider funding the o.ganization at 5 cents per capita. She explained they are a private, non-profit Minnesota corporation and not part of the county structure. Ms. Wallerstedt said disputes are attempted to be settled th.ough an impartial facilitato., giving several illustrations of services performed in Anoka County and in Andover. Mayor Windschitl stated the budgeting process begins I n August, and this wil I be given consideration. Ms. Wallerstedt asked if possible that some funding could be provided for 1987 as well. Counc II agreed to check the status of this year's budget to see if there are any excess funds available. Mr. Schrantz asked if this service would help the situation on 159th. Those present felt it would be worth a try. ANOKA COUNTY CHAMBER/ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Tom Snell . Anoka Countv Chamber of Commerce - presented a flyer Inviting the Council to attend the program when President Ford will be speaking to the Chamber. M.. Snell also repo.ted the Chamber will have a booth at the Business Trade Convention at the Mlnneapol is Auditorium September 9 - II. They would like to have something to give out from the City of Andover. He presented a sample community profile done by East Bethel. If Andover would supply information for a simlliar community profile, the Minnesota Department of Energy and Economic Development will prepare the handout. Counc i I agreed that should be done. Mr. Sne] ] also reported on a program by the Minnesota Real Estate Journal to do a market profile on cities the size of Andover. He will be coming back In October to ask for permission for that organization to interview businesses in the community to do a market profile for Andover. The profile Is then distributed to 12,000 real estate people in the uppe. midwest. This Is a] I done at no cost to the City, as the journal is paid for by the sale of ads In the journal. Regular City CounciJ Meeting July 21, 1987 - Minutes Page 5 ORDINANCE 8 AMENDMENT/HOUSING CONVERSION MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, an Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 8, known as the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Andover as presented regarding two-family home conversions. Motion carried unanimously. LORETTA MASON SPECIAL USE PERMIT Maynard Ape] ~evlewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve a Special Use permi t to sp lit the double bungalow located at 3555 134th Avenue Into two single famlJy units. Loretta Mason - stated she has buyers for both units. She did get the survey done, and they found the lot width to be somewhat different than the party waJl agreement. That agreement will be changed to refJect the correct lot widths. She stated she is also prepared to Install the fire wa I J If this Is approved. There is a joint driveway, but that has not been a problem In obtaining loan money by the buyers. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by OrtteJ, a Resolution approving a Special Use permit requested by Loretta Mason to sp I It the double bungalow located at 3555 134th Avenue NW into two single-family units as presented, with the correction on Item 2 of the variances, that it should read 67.74 feet for one Jot and 82.26 feet for the other; and that the appropriate park dedication fees be collected for both lots. (See ResoJution R124-87) Motion carried unanimously. KEN ANDERSON DISCUSSION/POLE BUILDING Ken Anderson. 3207 174th Lane NW - asked for permission to erect a pole building on his prope~ty. He presented a petItion signed by 33 individuals, which he stated represents all of his neighbors, stating they had no objection to the pole buildIng. They have just over one ac~e of land. He didn't know about the restriction when he moved out there. He colJects antique tractors and needs to put them Inside a building. Metal buildings are considerably cheaper than stick ones, plus he fel t it could be built such that it can be very attractive. Mrs. Anderson - also explained the building will barely be seen by neighbors behind and In front of them because it will be In the trees. Counc I J discussion noted the reason for not allowing pole building on less than three acres of property. It was also brought out there are no provisions to waive this requirement unless the ordinance is changed. And If It we~e waived, there would be nothing to prevent the construction of pole buildIngs any where else. Regular City Council Meeting July 21, 1987 - Minutes Page 6 (Ken Anderson Discussion/Pole Building, Continued) The genera] consensus of the Counc i I was to leave the ordinance as is, noting there are other cities that are even more restrictive than Andover. The Anderson's only recourse would be to construct a wood structure. The Andersons asked about the size Jimitatlons on wood structures and whether that could be varied to enlarge it. Counc II suggested they speak wi th the Building Official, noti ng there Is a variance provision on that item. No Counc II action was taken. EDWARD WALLUM/LOT IN NORDEEN'S ADDITION Edward Wa I 1 um. 15619 Kumquat Street - didn't think he was being treated fairly in the City's offer to purchase his property. He stated in looking at his mobile home, it is better than three out of the four being purchased by the City. Also, he feJt his garage is In better condition. He purchased the property with the Intent to pay off the land and then build a house on the Jot. He has done a lot of work on the inside of his mobile home, restoring the entire inside. Mr. Wal lum stated he was first offered $21,900, which is less than he paid for it, and was then sent a purchase contract for $23,000, which he sti II felt Is too low for his property. He stated he felt his lot is worth considerably more because of the work done inside the mobile home, the fruit trees, qu i te corner lot, etc. Mayor Wlndschltl indicated the City Attorney Is handl i ng the appraisals and the negotiations, not the Counc II . Mr. Hawkins reviewed the events to date relating to his offer to purchase this property. This Is a cash purchase, which results In a lower purchase price. He doesn't know how much Mr. Wallum Is asking for, but he Is offering 15 percent over the appraisal already. Mr. Hawkins stated another appraisal is being done on all four properties to comply with the CDBG funding, so he wi II be getting a second opinion on that appraisal. Mr. Wallum - stated he has viewed the other three parceJs. His mobi Ie home Is three to five years older than the other one, but he has totally remodeled the Inside to the point that I t Jooks new. He again stated he didn't think he was being treated fairly. Stan Osmundson. across the street from Mr. Wallum - stated he is only an acquaintance of Mr. Wallum, but he has lived there eight years. Of the four places, he thought Mr. Wallum's was the neatest and nicest. In his mind, he thought the appraisal and amount of the proposed purchase was way off base. Regular City Council Meeting July 21, 1987 - Minutes Page 7 (Edward Walluffi/Lot in Nordeen's Addition, Continued) Dennis Hlnsted- stated he lives with Mr. Wallum. He said it was one and a half months after Mr. Wallum purchased the place before they could move In because everything had to be cleaned, and he reviewed all the work that was done in the mobile home. He too stated It is a nice lot with lots of nice trees, especially compared to the three other lots. He questioned why Mr. Wallum is being offered so lit tIe compared to the others. Counc II discussion with those present and the City Attorney were that the appraisals were all done by one Individual, that the Jot prices were virtually the same for all lots, that It appears Mr. Wallum's mobile home was older and therefore appraised less, and that the Counc II Is not in a position to negotiate but wi I I make the final decision. If Mr. WaJlum does not accept the offer, the Counc I 1 has the choice of either acquiring It through eminent domain or not to buy It at all. Mr. Hawkins also briefly reviewed the eminent domain procedure. Mr. Wa I I um - sti II felt his property is worth more, stating he would settle for an average of what the others are getting. He stated he would not accept $23,000. He again stated he didn't feel he was being treated fairly because the inside of his mobile home is considerably nicer than the others even if i t is several years older, plus the lot itself is nicer. He asked just why there is such a discrepancy in the appraisals. Counc II agreed to wait until the other appraisals are done to see i f there is any discrepancy. No further action was taken. Counc I 1 recesed at 9:25; reconvened at 9:34 p.m. COLONIAL CREEK SPECIAL USE PERMIT Maynard Apel reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve the special use permit for a Planned Unit Development to allow a golf course, residential uses and Neighborhood Business use in Colonial Creek. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Orttel, a Resolution approving a Special Use Permit requested by Woodland Development for a Planned Unit Development for the property being pJatted as Colonial Creek, as presented. <See Resolution R125-87) Motion carried unanimously COLONIAL CREEK PRELIMINARY PLAT Maynard Apel reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve the preliminary plat of Colonial Creek, noting the residents' concerns for traffic patterns through the NorthGlen neighborhoods, espec i a 1 I y 138th Lane. Regular City Council Meeting July 21, 1987 - Minutes Page 8 (Colonia] Creek Preliminary Plat, Continued) Attorney Hawkins was of the opinion that It would be allowable to place a road through the City Park as proposed by the developer. Stuart Kinkade - was concerned about the effect of this plat on his neIghborhood. He fe]t the peop]e from this plat will come down their street to get to Bunker Lake Boulevard and to the shopping center to avoid the stop ] ight. He would like to see that problem addressed at this time rather than after the fact a year from now. Some proposals have been to cuI de sac 138th, to sign 138th as a one way to the east, or cut off the access to the bank on Quay. Mayor Wlndschltl stated one proposal he heard was to construct a service road just south of Colonla] Creek and Northglen to connect Quay with the stub now going to the Adolfson property line. He was opposed to that solution because it would make the commercial lot just east of Quay unbulldable and it would be extremely costly for the City to purchase that property and construct such a road. Mr. Schrantz felt no decision can be made on that proposal untl I it is known what Mr. Adolfson and the owner of the adjacent commercial lot plan to do with their property. Possibly the two parcels would be joined. Larv Carlson. Developer - stated Mr. Adolfson asked for the stub street to his property, but he doesn't know Mr. Adolfson's plans. Counci I, the Engineers, and Mr. Kinkade discussed the possible traffic patterns through that vicinity. This was discussed again later. Discussion was then on the Park Board recommendation. Mr. Kinkade stated the $10,000 cash plus reduced green fees for Andover residents for five years was a compromise. The reduced green fees equates to approximately $25,000 of services. Mr. Carlson - reviewed his proposal to the Park Board, originally opting for a cash dedication. The reduct I on in green fees to Andover resIdents is $25,000 based on one-fourth of the fees coming from Andover. However, he feels as much as one-half could be from Andover usage, which would bring his contribution to $50,000. But he is willing to accept that exposure. In addition, he said he would do the lion's share of the work in cleaning up the large area to the north. The parking lot on the north end of 142nd is private off-street parking for users of the course. It wi I I be locked at night. Discussion then returned to the traffic issue on 138th Lane. A one-way street and stop signs to discourage traffic were both discussed, as wel I as speculation on what traffic patterns wi]] emerge through both NorthGlen and Colonial Creek. It was finally agreed to do nothing for traffic control at this time, preferring to address the situation once the development is comp]eted and traffic patterns are established. Regular City Council Meetl ng Ju]y 21, 1987 - Minutes Page 9 (Colonial Creek Preliminary Plat, Continued) Mr. Kinkade - asked for a daily count of traffic on their street at this time for a base count to work from. Counc i I agreed. MOTION by Apel, Seconded by Elling, a Resolution approving the Preliminary Plat of Colonial Creek being developed by Woodland Development in Section 32-32-24 as drawn up, indicating variances for lot depth for Lots 4, 9, 14 and 19, Block 13 and for average lot depth for Lot 34, Block 13 and Lot 1 , Block 14, and the resolution also notes the caveats as outlined by the Park Board, deleting references to permits being obtained from the Corps of Engineers and approval by the Coon Creek Wastershed Board. <See Resolution RI26-87) Motion carried unanimously.

GRADING AND FILLING PERMIT d'Arcy Bosel I, Zoning Administrator, stated three ordInances requI~e grading and filling permits, and the City does not have a permit form to be fil led out. She stated the proposed form Is recommended by the DNR, and she revIewed examples of erosIon along the Rum RIver where gradIng and filling was done without a plan In place. Council generally felt the requirements of the form were too detailed and complicated and would require the applicant to spend a Jot of money to fill It out. Some felt if It is too complicated, people will just ignore It. They asked that the Staff simplify the form and its requirements for consideration at the next regular meeting. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Orttel, to table thIs item. Motion carried unanimouslY.

Regular City Council Meetl ng July 21, 1987 - Minutes Page 12 INDUSTRIAL PARK PRELIMINARY PLAT Mr. Schrantz stated the Andover Review Committee raised some concern about two access from the Industrial Park onto Verdin. Also, the County is wanting 60 feet of right of way rather than the pr-oposed 50 feet. Counc i I briefly discussed the sketch plan of the Industrial Park. It was agreed to leave the road configur-ation as proposed, feeIing that traffic fIow would be the best for the development. Also, the county indicated they had no problem with both entrances onto a county r-oad. Counc i I also felt the 50-foot r-ight of way would be sufficient for an urban street. Mr. Davidson noted the preliminar-y plat of the Industr-ial Park is scheduled before the Planning and Zoning Commission at their next meeting. Counc i I also felt if some agreement can be reached with the property owner to the east and north of the Sonterre property regarding easement for the extension of the main road east of Thrush, that road should be constructed as far east as possible. Ceci I Heidelberqer - stated Merril I Lynch has someone interested in developing his property. But they want some written assurances from the City as to the City's participation regarding tax increment financing in the development. Mayor Windschi t1 stated the newly hired planner wi] I be wor-king on a plan for the City's participation in tax increment f i nanc i ng. This item is to be on the next regular Counc i 1 agenda, August 4, for consideration. Discussion with the Heidelberger's was also on what is taking place wi th the Tonson oper-ation. Mr. Heidelberger stated no tires have been shredded from the back for months, but the larger tires are now being brough t in and placed in the back. Ms. Bosel J stated she is meeting wi th the DNR on this matter, as Mr. LaPanta of Tonson is in default of his agreement with the PCA on the removal of the tires. CREEKSIDE ESTATES/IP87-28 John Davidson, TKDA, reviewed the proposed Creekside Estates plat, r-ecommending a change order to Project 87-4, Woodridge Acres street improvement, to complete this project. Counc i I discussed two main items: the proposal to maintain the existing horseshoe on Quinn Drive and Osage and the cuI de sac at the end of Osage. After- some discussion on the cuI de sac as to whether it should be constructed at the ver-y end, pulled eastward as much as possible, or eliminated and made aT-IntersectIon Instead, it was agreed to retain the cuI de sac as proposed at the most westerly end of the easement. The easement for Osage to the western property line would be retained for snow removal, etc. , but no additional easement for the bouievard would be retained outside the cuI de sac i tsel f. Regular City Council Meeting July 21, 1987 - Minutes Page 13 (Creekside Estates, IP87-28, Continued) Mr. Davidson aiso felt the drainage would be more easily managed if the horseshoe at Osage was made an intersection. It wou I d a I so be di ff i cu 1 t to keep the horeshoe and get the full street right of way through there. He reviewed the drainage between Lots 4 and 5, not i ng a discharge permi t wi I] be needed from the Coon Creek Watershed Board. Counc i I agreed to the plat as proposed.
