Georqe WilJiams. 1516 148th Lane NW - stated there was an informal meeting last week between most of the homeowners in Oak B]uff 1st Addition and Chuck Cook. Mr. Cook revised his plat to basically a three-tiered subdivision, with layer A being immediately adjacent to Oak Bluff and with larger lots, layer B, further out, etc. Mr. Wi1 Iiams stated generally the residents were pleased with Mr. Cook's effort and favored the proposal. The only concern Wa'" un Lit" PL'UPU:"¡<;u minimum house prices for each tier, asking that the dollar va1ue be translated into a minimum square footage. Mr. Cook had agreed and has done so. Mr. Wi I Iiams stated he was satisfied with the minimum square footages proposed. Regular City Council Meeting September 1 , 1987 - Minutes Page 2 (Oak Bluff 2nd, Rezoning, Continued) MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by E1 ling, an ordinance amending Ordinance No. 8, known as the Zoning Ordinance for the City of Andover, Section 6.03, rezoning Outlots A and B of Oak Bluff Addition, and rezoning that property from an R-l to an R-4, subject to the conditions set forth on the convenant provided by Continental Development Corporation, owner of the property, and dated 8-31-87, subject it also to the general Iayout provided in the way of a sketch plan dated 8-25-87 subject to refinement by the Planning Commission and City Council at a future date. Dr SCUSS ION : Chuck Mortev. 1237 148th Lane - stated the only lots the residents were concerned about were those on the entryway to Oak Bluff. They would 1 ike those four lots put in the $110,000 category. Chuck Cook - stated that might be difficult for Lots 1 and 2 because of the power 1 ine, but he agreed to it for Lots 3 and 4. Councilman Orttel ADDED TO THE MOTION: Add Lots 3 and 4, Block 1 , to the category dealing with $110,000 valuation and 1200 square feet. Second Stands. Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Absent (Knight) vote. OAK BLUFF 2ND ADDITION. SKETCH PLAN Counc i I discussed the proposed ponding area within the plat. Mr. Haas stated it was a staff recommendation to have a dedicated area for ponding rather than include It as part of the rear yards of the lots. It wi II not be a dry pond. Chuck Cook. Continental Development. Coon Rapids - stated the City requires that he retain and provide retention of the storm water. He originally had the ponding in the back yards, but the staff stated that would be undesirable, so he created a pond which is not part of a 10t for that retention. He stated there is a positive outlet on the west end that connects with the school property. The elevation requires the bottom of the pond to be near the water table. In addition, the storm water comes from the east end of the project, pIus Bluebird. To carry the water out of the plat would require surface drainage to the proposed outlet at less than minimum allowed slope, which is undesirable for good positive drainage. Mr. Cook stated he would also like the pond for aesthetic reasons. Mayor Windschitl stated i t is not a city requirement that the storm water be retained on site. He felt the storm drainage should be Included in a master plan done for the entire area -- the Oak Bluff developments, the school district property, and Mr. Holasek's property. For reasons of safety, maintenance, and IlabJity, he preferred there be no pond at al] , askIng that the engineers evaluate I t further. Regu]ar City Council Meeting September 1 , 1987 - Minutes Page 3 (Oak Bluff 2nd Sketch Plan, Continued) Mr. Cook - reviewed the profile of the proposed pond, that it would be 5 to 6 feet deep with standing water so there would be no vegetation to content with, 10-to-l slopes on the side and 5-to-l s]opes in the water. After further discussion, it was st I 1 I the Council's preference not to have a pond in that area, especially one with standing water. They directed the engineers to evaluate the storm drainage again. Counc I 1 commented on several other items within the proposed plat. It was suggested Mr. Cook look at the buiJdabiJity of several of the proposed lots, especial 1 y the corner ones such as Lot 14, B10ck 5, Lot 12, Block 4, and Lot 9, Block 5. Because of the setback requirements, it may be difficult to place a house on the lots as proposed, suggesting Mr. Cook look at other configurations of those lots. Counc i 1 a1so suggested Mr. Cook look at the setbacks along the power 11nes, aSking i f there would stIll be a reasonable separation between the lines and the house. Mr. Cook was advised to present the plan to the Planning Commission. PUBLIC HEARING/VACATION OF EASEMENT/OAK BLUFF 2ND. CONTINUED Counc I I felt this item cannot be considered until the final plat, at which time the easements would be vacated and the new ones dedicated at the same time. MOTION by Apel, Seconded by Orttel, to table the easement question until such time as the ponding issue Is resolved when the finaJ plat Is addressed. Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Absent (Kn i ght) vote. La DONNA CHAPMAN LOT SPLIT Chairman Perry reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve the Jot split request of LaDonna and Clifford Chapman. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Orttel, a Resolution approving a lot split requested by LaDonna and Clifford Chapman for property in Sect! on 15-32-24 as submitted. (See Resolution RI71-87) Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Absent (Knight) vote. BRANDON CONSTRUCTION SKETCH PLAN Ben Skurdahl - stated he originally submitted a sketch plan for eight lots. In looking at a revised plan proposed by the staff which proposes a service road along Round Lake Boulevard and aJong 144th) Regular City Council Meeting September 1 , 1987 - Minutes Page 4 (Brandon Construction Sketch Plan, Continued) Mr. Skurdahl stated he was not In favor of a service road in front of the three houses on 144th because many trees and the land would be destroyed, and 144th has a 60-foot right of way with the adjacent homes on the west facing other streets. He didn't believe a service road on 144th serves any significant purpose, preferring to see the service road along Round Lake Boulevard cuI de sac at 144th. Mayor Windschitl stated ideally this property should be platted with the Sheppard property. Mr. Skurdahl stated Mr. Sheppard was approached and is not interested at this time. He is providing an easement to the north for access to Mr. Sheppard's property. Mayor Windschitl suggested Mr. Skurdahl consider a road from Round Lake Boulevard directly up to the Sheppard's with a temporary cuI de sac at the end. The lots would then face that street. That would allow for the Sheppard development in the future and would eliminate the service roads. (Councilman Knight arrived at this time. 8:18 p.m.) Mayor Windschitl also noted there Is a county drainage easement through the property with pipe in the ground, thinking it goes through the proposed Lot 7. . He suggested Mr. Skurdahl determine exactly where that Is located. Generally, the Council did not feel there is a need for a service road a10ng 144th. Mr. Skurdahl was advised to look at the Mayor's suggestion regarding the lot layout and road to the back of the property and the Sheppard's. Mr. Skurdahl was also told he can either bring any revised sketch plan back to lilt! CUUII<; i I U,· ¡,,·U¡;(;(;<.! lu the Planning Commission. MARK SLICK/HOME OCCUPATION Mr. and Mrs. Mark Slick. Coon Rapids - explained their proposal to construct an accessory building as an artist's studio on a lot in Woodland Meadows. He has been doing this same thing in his garage In Coon Rapids for the last nine years and has never had a problem. He stated It is not a retai I business, except for several showings a year. Most of his ceramics are s01d to art galleries, stores, and art dealers. Mr. Slick also reviewed the proposed location, noting it is basically blocked from view by the trees. The building would have the same siding as the house, not i ng the importance of aesthetics to them. Byron Westlund representinq the Woodland Meadows Developer - stated they do have a convenant In Woodland Meadows for strictly residential use of the property. However, they have found this proposal to be Regular City Council Meeting September 1 , 1987 - Minutes Page 5 (Mark Slick/Home Occupation, Continued) unobtrusive and do not have any objection to It. They have written to all the property owners, and a unanimous concurrence Is required before Wood]and Deve]opment wil] allow a variance from Its convenant. The residents have been asked to respond by September 11. Counc i ] discussion was this type of home occupation Is not objectionable, but the ordinance does not al low it In an accessory building. The ocdinance would need to be changed, discussing what language would be used so It wouldn't be opened up to objectional businesses. It was generally felt If the use was allowed by special use perml t, the Counc II would have more control over It. The first step for the Slick's, however, is to get unanimous approval from the residents In Woodland Meadows. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Apel, that the Counc i I direct the P1anning Commission that they 100k at modifying or making a provision in Ordinance 8 to allow arts or studio arts in accessory buildings or other appropriate uses of accessory buildings. Motion carried unanimously. ANDOVER LIMITED PARTNERS/DISCUSSION Wavne Anderson of Andover Limited Partners - asked for permission to construct the balance of the fence behind the shopping center beyond the pond instead of on their property line. They could then put some of their snow removal into that pond. He presented a layout of the proposa I . It is an 8-foot fence, but there is no berm in there. Mr. Schrantz suggested they maIntain the fence, cut the grass, and keep the debris picked up. He also noted it must be constructed so it doesn't obstruct the flow of the draInage. Plus he felt a skimmer should be placed on the drainage outlet so debris is not carried downstream. Mr. Andeeson agreed to al I of those items. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, that we authorize Andover Partners to put the screening fence 100 feet back onto the City right of way as shown on a plat map presented 9-1-87, with the understanding that an agreement be reached whereby the developer will agree to maintain the fence as their own and take care of general maintenance of the property between the fence and the shopping center property, include a hold harmless agreement f or an y liability resulting from the fence on our property, and to instal J a skimmer based on recommendations from the City Engineer. Motion carried unanimous1y. Regu1ar City Counci1 Meeting September 1 , 1987 - Minutes Page 6 ANIMAL CONTROL CONTRACT Mr. Schrantz reported Lake Animal Control, I nc.. has agreed to service the Ci ty unt i 1 September 30, and they would like $10 more than their norma I rate. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, that we authorize Animal Control for one month period per the conditions stated. Moti on carried unanimously. PLANNING AND ZONING REPORT Chairman Perry asked for direction on a lot sp lit request on property located in the vicinity of Hanson and Andover Boulevards. The di lemma is the request was not properly submitted first. When i t was resubmitted, it was tabled because the property owner was not present. In the meantime, the MUSA boundary has changed, and that property is now outside the MUSA. She asked if the City wants to require 2 1/2 acres because it is outside the present MUSA, though i t clearly will be serviced some day. There was a brief dIscussion on the situation, noting the property is zoned R-4. It was generallY agreed it doesn't make sense to have 2 1/2 acre lots in that area. Some felt 39,000 square feet is what is required since sewer is not available yet. No decision was made at this time, agreeing to discuss It at a joint meeting with the Planning Commission. (Later In the meeting a joint meeting wi th the Planning Commission was set for Tuesday, September 8, 6 o'clock p.m.) FEASIBILITY REPORT/HAWK RIDGE MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Elling, a Resolution receiving feasibility report and calling public hearing on improvements of street construction, Project No. 87-23 in the Hawk Ridge Addition area, set the public hearing for November 5.

FIRE DEPARTMENT/KNOX BOX REQUIREMENTS Fire Chief Bob Palmer and Assistant Chief Glen Smith asked for approval to require businesses to install a Rapid Key Entry System cal1ed the Knox Box, explaining how such a system would work. After discussing the pros and cons of requiring businesses to install such a system, Counc i 1 did not want to make it mandatory but agreed businesses should be encouraged to do so. Such systems would then be instal led only on a voJunteer basis. FIRE DEPARTMENT/MAILBOX ORDINANCE Chief Palmer noted the safety hazard for the firefighters when mailboxes are pJaced too close to the fire hydrants. There is one problem on Jonquil, which is a straight street. Counc i 1 discussed severaJ options with no specific direction given. Frank Stone, Public Works Supervisor, stated it would be easier for them for maintenance purposes if al I mailboxes on cuI de sacs were placed at the exit of the cuI de sac. MOTION by Ape I , Seconded by Knight, that we authorize the Public Works Department and Fire Department to come up with a standard for placing mailboxes and take the proper steps to have it executed.

Motion carried unanimously. Assistant ChIef Smith stated the framework for the drop tank for 4887 is not sturdy enough. They have found a company which specializes in such items who can supply a square tubular type frame for the d~op tank plus the bracket to allow the tank to be folded. The cost is approximately $1,000 which would be the remainder of the rai I road money. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Apel, that we approve the purchase of that piece of framework from K & K Design, Alexander, MN, not to exceed $1,000. The frame is $500 and the fold-down b~acker is $475. Motion carried unanimously. Regular City Council Meeti ng September 1 , 1987 - Minutes Page 9 (Fire Department Equipment, Continued) Chief Palmer asked if the funds could be found to complete the new equipment van so It can be put Into service. He reviewed the bond amount was on]y for $26,000, the cost of the van, but did not Inc1ude the remaining $14,000 needed to equip it. Counc i I directed the Department to determine If they have any excess funds in their budget. Mr. Schrantz was also asked to determine i f there is any surplus in the equipment fund. This item is to be discussed agaIn at the September 15 meeting. PUBLIC WORKS/PURCHASE 4X4 TRUCK Frank Stone, Public Works Supervisor, stated there wi] I be approximately $16,000 left in the snow and ice removal bu dge t for this year.

COON CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT Counc i I discussed the July 17, 1987, letter to John Drawz from Harold Sheff regarding the issues raised by Andover's lawsuIt against the Watershed District. Mayor Windschitl noted the revised methodology proposed by the viewers In determining the amount of assessment and its affect on one property owner. He stated it appears the Watershed Board is going to have to redo everything that was done for the Di tch 57 project. The Mayor then proposed the option of the City of Andover taking over the maintenance of the ditch within the corporate I imi ts and do the improvements needed. He felt the City could do it much more economi ca 11 y, and it would be paid for by a levy within a separate taxing watershed district. Mayor Wlndschitl though t the two options available to the City at this time are either to agree to the revised methodology and Jet the Watershed Board proceed with the publ ic hearing process again or to have the City take over the ditch. Councilman Elling stated one of the options to resolving the landfi 11 issue is to add fill to the top of it which would be impervious to rain. If that Is done, there would be considerably more runoff to the creek, and he felt the SW-28 Group should then be assessed for the addl t!onal work that would need to be done to the creek to handle that runoff. Counc i I discussed the entire situation and especially debated the Mayor's proposa1 to take over the maintenance of the dItch. Councilman Orttel thought the costs to the CIty may be more because the City responds more to the people regarding restoration, etc. , which can be costly. Other Councilmen were also hesItant about takIng over the ditch maintenance, questioning the I iabi I i ty for any soi 1 contamination around the landf ill and who would do the work. Some noted It may be more trouble than can be handled right now. After further discussion the Counc II generally did not feel ready to make a decision at this time, agreeing to table it for two weeks to allow for further study.
