The Regular Bi-Month]y MeetIng of the Andover City Council was called
to order by Mayor Jerry Wlndschltl on Mal' 3, 1988, 7:30 p.m., at the
Andover City Ha]], 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, MInnesota.
CouncIlmen present: Ape I , Elling, Knight, Orttel

RESIDENT FORUM
Deputv Scott Roess]er - summarized the events that took place
regardIng Bob DIllon's concern expressed at the AprIl 19 CIty Councl]
meeting. He explaIned the IncIdent took place on April 5, where there
orIgInally was a fire call In that area on whIch the Deputy's response
was cancelled. About 40 mInutes later there was a call for
trespassIng on 159th. The Deputy arrIved about fIve mInutes after the
cal I. After fInIshIng the trespassing report, he began IssuIng no
parkIng tIckets to the vehIcles parked along 159th. When the second
comp]alnt was receIved, the Deputy had almost fInIshed IssuIng those
tIckets. Counc I I thanked hIm for the excellent response.
AGENDA APPROVAL
It was recommended addIng Items 40, JIm Benolkln MIning Permit, and
4p, Scott Erickson Pool.
MOTION by Ortte], Seconded by Knight, that we approve the Agenda as
amended. MotIon carrIed unanImously.
173RD AVENUE/BLACKTOP/L. SCHALO
Larrv Schalo - stated he was before the CouncIl last year regardIng
the blacktopping of 173rd Avenue and was told to get a petItIon from
the neIghbors. The problem Is that there are only four landowners
along 173rd, and only one uses that road for access. Two others use
Seventh Avenue and the thIrd leaves off 175th. He also thought In
the future one of the property owners planned to subdivide, so he and
hIs neighbors do not want to pal' for that road If someone else wIll
turn around and make a profIt off of It.
Regular City Council Meeting
Mal' 3, 1988 - Minutes
Page 2
(173rd Avenue/Blacktop/L. Schalo, Continued)
Mr. Schalo stated he would like to get that road blacktopped because
It Is dusty and dirty and creates many problems wIth the vehicles.
That road serves 10 famIlies regularly, and no one lIkes It. He also
complained about the maintenance, stating he called to get It graded
but It was not done until two weeks later. As taxpayers, he felt the
monel' spent for maIntenance on that gravel road could be saved If It
were blacktopped.
Counc i I discussIon noted one other Instance where the neighbors paid
for a stretch of road but the adJoining property owner agreed not to
subdivide for 10 years. Counc I I also reviewed the pOlicy of assessing
benefitted properties for any local improvement.
The Engineers were directed to determine the approximate costs for
Improving 173rd, and Mr. Schalo agreed to talk to his neighbors about
those costs and what they mal' be willing to do. The Counc I I agreed to
discuss this again once Mr. Scha]o has talked to his neighbors.
OAK BLUFF 2ND ADDITION FINAL PLAT
MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Apel, that we rescind the motion of
March 1, 1988, City CouncIl meetIng for the Oak Bluff 2nd AddItIon
Final Plat. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, approving the final plat of
Oak Bluff 2nd Addl tlon as belnu (kv~'loPl"d uy ContInental Development
in SectIon 26 32 24 as presented. (See Resolution R065-88) Motion
carried unanimously.
SLAYTON SKETCH PLAN
RIchard Slavton - presented a sketch plan for property located at
17139 Verdin Street. He proposed dividing It Into eight lots;
however, the CIty Staff has proposed only six lots plus additional
roads. Mr. Haas reviewed the Andover Review Committee's recommended
layout of the property. The cuI de sac proposed by Mr. Slayton exceeds
the 500 feet allowed by ordInance. Also, Staff proposed how the
propertIes to the north and south can be served to provide for future
development. Severa] of the lots proposed by Mr. Slayton did not meet
the requirement of 2.5 acres, and additional right of way dedication
is needed for the county road.
Mr. Slayton stated there Is 21 acres, and he should be able to get
eight lots. If he Is only allowed six plus be required to do the
extra blacktoppIng, he dIdn't feel It would be economical to develop
It.
Regular City CouncIl Meeting

Page 3
(Slayton Sketch Plan, Continued)
Counc 11 asked Mr. Haas to check whether the County I s cons I deLl ng
turnIng VerdIn back to the CIty. Council dIscussion also noted the
difficulty of subdividing some of the smaller parcels. Though It was
genera] II' agreed streets should be provided to adJoInIng properties
for contInuity, It was also generally agreeable to grant variances to
allow for the development of seven lots on the parcel. Mr. Haas
thought three lots could be developed on the west side of the
property.
Counc 11 asked the Staff to work wIth Mr. Slayton on a proposal to
provide for seven lots and a street alIgnment to service the adjoining
properties. The Item Is to be brought back for consideratIon.
OLESON SKETCH PLAN
Mr. Oleson - explained the CIty has ordered the improvement of Poppy
Street on the east of his property lIne, and he needs to subdivIde and
sell hIs property to pal' the assessments. He did not want to divIde
his property and would not do so If It weren't for the assessments.
Mr. Haas reviewed both Plan A and Plan B.
CouncIlman Orttel recalled when the POppy Street proJect was ordered,
It was agreed to allow three Jots on Mr. Oleson's property. If the
three lots that were promised are platted off Poppy, and three lots
platted otf a a cuI de sac built from 58th, Mr. Oleson would stl]1
have seven Jots Including hIs house, but It would save the expense of
runnIng a street through the entIre property. Then Mr. Oleson could
sell the back three lots and not have to sell the land around his
house.
Mayor Wlndschltl also thought Plan B would be acceptable If the road
was pulled further south to save the trees and varIances be granted
to provide for the same number of lots.
The Staff was asked to work with Mr. Oleson on an agreeable layout for
consideration at the next regular CouncIl meetIng.
DEERWOOD ESTATES PRELIMINARY PLAT
Mr. Haas stated a 40-foot easement should be desIgnated on the
northern boundary of the plat for a proposed State Aid street.
Counc 1 ] agreed, noting It would not affect the lot size. And If It Is
found In the future that the easement Is not needed, It can be
vacated.

(See Reso]utlon R066-88) MotIon carrIed unanlmous]y.
RON HERMAN MINING PERMIT
Ron Herman - exp]ained GradIng Plan B Is the largest area and would
be the fIrst work done. There would be about 70,000 cubic yards on the
first Job, which would be replaced by 20,000 cubic yards of peat. But
he would like approval of all three plans. He didn't know how many
cubic yards there were In all, but estimated 100,000 to 150,000,
possibly 200,000 cubic yards. He plans to remove the hIgh areas as
shown on the three plans and replace it with peat so he can farm the
land.
Council generally agreed that, rather than specifying specific
quantities, the permIt be tied to the grading plans provided, as the
proposal Is basIcally to provide for usable farm fields.
MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Orttel, a Resolution approving a
Special Use Permit requested by Ronald Herman to mine soIl from 15623
Round Lake Boulevard as presented with the additIons In the last
paragraph: The SpecIal Use PermIt wi I] be valid for a period of one

JIM BENOLKIN MINING PERMIT
JIm Benolkln. 16040 Unlversltv Avenue - stated he purchased the
property In Its present state of a deep pond with high banks. The
previous owner never received a permit for the work done. He Is
askIng for a mining permit to make the area more sightly.

Use PermIt requested by James W. Benolkin to mine soil from 16040

carried unanImously.
SCOTT ERICKSON SWIMMING POOL
Scott Erickson - explained last year he bought a permit and followed
the ordInances to put In a pool. After It was constructed, he
discovered someone tearIng down hIs fence. He then learned there Is a
20-foot gas line easement through hIs back yard that he didn't know he
had, and the gas company Is requirIng that the pool be moved. The
Building Inspector, Dave Almgren, dIdn't check the maps before IssuIng
the permIt to be sure the pool was off the easement.
Mr. Rodeberg explained there Is a draInage and utIlity easement across
the property, plus there Is a North Central high-pressure, 16-lnch
pipeline 10 feet from the property line. The edge of the pool Is over
the pIpeline.
Mr. Erickson - stated he talked with the gas company, and they are
InsistIng the pool must be moved. He received an estimate of $5,055 to
have the pool moved, whIch wl]1 requIre hIs entIre back yard to be
redone. He felt the CIty should pal' for that cost, feeling It was the
Building Inspector's responsibility to check the map to be sure the
pool was not placed In the easement. Mr. Erickson stated he had no
Idea there was an easement across hIs back yard, thInking he was
following al I the regulations when putting the pool In.
Councilman EllIng stated he talked with the gas company also. But
their problem Is the abIlity to get to the line, whIch Is 90 Inches
deep, for maintenance. Frank Stone, Public Works Supervisor, stated
the existing fence would need to be moved so he could get a truck to
the back yard to maintain the pipe.
Attorney Hawkins stated the BuIlding Official Is there to provide
advice regardIng InspectIons and safety matters; and If a mIstake Is
made by the BuIlding Offlcla], It does not Impose a liability on the
City. It Is also not the City's responsibilIty to locate utilIties
and easements, it Is the landowner's.

Page 7
(Scott ELlckson Pool, Continued)
ML. ELickson - stated he spent a lot of time with Mr. Almgren on
this matteL. Once the problem surfaced, he was originally told by Mr.
AlmgLen If the pool had to be moved, the City would pal' fOL it;
though that statement Is beIng denied now. AttoLney HawkIns stated
the law Is clear that the City provides inspectIon services; and If a
mistake Is made, I t does not Impose lIabIlIty upon the City.
Mr. Erickson - asked what the peLmlt fee Is fOL. It Is now a $5,000
mIstake that he cannot affoLd. stating he spent hIs entIre summer
putting up that pool. He felt It Is not his fault, but a mIstake of
the City. Mr. ErIckson stated Mr. Almgren admItted not lookIng at the
map when the permit was applIed for.
After fULtheL dIscussion with ML. ELlckson, the Counc II geneLal]y
would not have a pLob]em gLantlng a vaLiance to the location of the
pool. However, that would not solve the PLoblem If the gas company Is
insisting that It be moved. The City has no control over that.
Counc i I agLeed the Staff should talk with North Central Gas Company
about tLylng to wOLk somethIng out without having to move the pool.
MOTION by Apel, Seconded by OLttel, that we LefeL this to the City
AdmInIstrator In the hopes that he can come up with some method of
alleviatIng the PLoblem, and that we put It on the next Legular agenda
to solve It at that time. Motion caLLled unanImously.

total dollaL amount of $851 for the ventilating saw and $3,024 fOL the

SmIth was on the purchase of the 6 x 6 Gamma Goats trom the milItary.
Mr. SmIth reported the cost fOL three vehIcles plus outfIttIng two of
them would be approximately $20,000.
Bob Renkoff - asked what the alternatIve would be. Chlet Palmer
stated they have not been able to locate any otheL used 6 x 6 tLucks.
The alteLnatlve would be a new 4 x 4 whIch has been quoted at
appLoxlmately $15,000 each.
Chief Pa]meL also LepoLted theLe Is $60,553 left over fLom the 1987
budget. Some of that is also fOL the equIpment van.

purchase of three 6 x 6 utilIty vehicles fOL the FiLe DepaLtment with
the understanding that two wIll be outfItted as bLush fILe fIghting

ChIef Pa]meL asked the CouncIl's opInion regaLdlng the pULchase of
Malmax shirts fOL all the flLeflghteLs as paLt of theiL gear fOL
fighting grass fires. It Is a fiLe LetaLdant shiLt and not as hot or

session.
PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION - COMPREHENSIVE PARK PLAN
PaLk and RecLeatlon CommissIon Chairman MaLc McMullen explaIned the
PaLk Board wants to update the CompLehenslve Park Plan whIch Is 10
years old. Also, some of the plan was not followed, especially as It
relates to a traIl system. TIm Erkkl]a, who dId the last plan,
addressed the PaLk Board on ways to go about updatIng the plan. He
dIdn't have a specifIc pLoposal, and ML. ELkkI]a indicated It could
also be done In a piecemeal fashion.
Mayor Windschltl thought there was a Council motion generally opposing
~ tr~1 I system within the City because of the problems with motoLlzed
vehlc]es and otheL violators. The thought was to have a contained
tLal1 system in Kelsey PaLk.
In pLlnclple, the Council had no pLoblem with the updating of the
Plan, but advised ChiaLman McMullen to talk with those who weLe on the
PaLk BoaLd when the oLlglnal plan was done. The Council also asked to
see specific cost flguLes and what the end pLoduct will be.

APPROVE PURCHASE AGREEMENT/NORDEEN'S ADDITION
Attorney HawkIns stated he has been told by the County that the CIty
needs to adveLtlse the sale of these Jots. He didn't know of any
state Lequlrement to that effect, but he wIll check on the federal
CDBG guidelines. He advised against takIng any actIon on the sale of
the lots In Nordeen's AdditIon untIl he has reseaLched the legal
LequlLements.
MOTION by El]ing, Seconded by Knight, that we continue this to next
Tuesday night. Motion caLLled unanimously.
RECEIVE FEASIBILITY/88-2/0AK BLUFF. CONTINUED
ML. SchLantz explained there is some concern by the pLopeLty owneLS
about the assessment fOL Lot 4, Block 1, and Lot 4, Block 4. To tLeat
all those lots the same and stay within the assessment polIcy, he
suggested that both lots would Leceive a paLtlal assessment of
one-half a unIt. When the lots subdivide in the future, there would
be anotheL assessment. Also, the developeLs would agLee to put In the
other service line to seLvlce the futuLe lots at thIs time. Because
the line Is 30 feet deep, It would be veLY costly to put In anotheL
servIce line In the future. ML. Schrantz stated this would be
consldeLed lateLal benefIt on a tLunk line, so thIs would be an
additional assessment. The public hearIng Is beIng waived, so that is
why It Is being dIscussed thIs evenIng.
Councilman Orttel noted that this Is basically being done because of
the CIty's and aLea's benefIt of being able to place the trunk lIne
between the lots, so he dIdn't have a pLoblem with the proposal.
Councl]man Apel also agLeed.
Larrv Nettum - stated they looked at the cost to the benefIt and
felt it would be beneficial to hook up those two lots at thIs tIme.
Since the the assessment Is mOLe than the cost, the City would not be
loosing any money.

Bob Johnson - asked If the extLa seLvlce was mandatoLY and what aLe
the contLact costs. ML. Rodeberg exp]alned the costs are fLom the
actual bid of the pLoJect plus 30 peLcent for overhead. Mr. Schrantz
stated hIs undeLstandlng was the developer would pal' the construction
cost without oveLhead.
Mr. Nettum - stated the decision has not been made as to wheLe the
house on Lot 4, Block 4 wIll be placed. If it were to be placed In
the centeL of the lot, he could avoid puttIng In the second seLvlce.
Mr. Schrantz stated when sanltaLY sewe~ comes to the Lest of the area,
the other half of that Jot will be assessed whetheL It has one or two
seLvlces. MayoL Wlndschltl stated theLe could be some hugh
assessments In the futuLe against those Jots where the house is In the
centeL and there Is no possibility of subdividing the Jots. The most
cost effective method would be to place the house to one side and
pLovide the second seLvice fOL futuLe subdivision when the utilities
come thLough the area.
Mr. Nettum - stated they also own Lot 9, Block 4, asking If It Is
feasible to extend the utilities to that lot. ML. RodebeLg stated
theLe would be a lot of stLeet replacement costs to do so. M..
Schrantz stated they can look at It further.

WOODLAND MEADOWS STREET LIGHTING/ORDINANCE
CouncIlman EllIng revIewed hIs calculatIons of the cost differences as
a Lesult of the change In policy by Anoka Electric fOL street light
Insta]]atlons. The cost cost peL yeaL to the residents Is about the
