(612) 755-5100 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - APRIL 4. 1989 MINUTES The Regular BI-Monthly Meeting of the Andover City CouncIl was cal]ed to order by Mayor JIm Elling on Aprl] 4. 1989, 7:30 p.m., at at the Andover City Hall. 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota. CouncIlmen present: Jacobson. Knight, Orttel. Perry Councilmen absent: None Also present: CIty Attorney, WIlliam G. Hawkins; TKDA Engineers John DavIdson and John Rodeberg; AssIstant City Engineer, Todd Haas; City Planner, Jay Blake; City Administrator. James Schrantz; others RESIDENT FORUM John Weaver. Volunteer Chairman of the AmerIcan Red Cross Anoka Countv Branch - asked for support for their fund raiser on April 27. It Is a Challenge Between the Mayors of each of the 21 governmental unIts In Anoka County. TheIr goal Is to raIse $4,400. Lori Richmond. Branch Director of the Anoka Branch of the AmerIcan Red Cross - revIewed the assistance the Red Cross has given In the City of Andover and programs undertaken In Anoka County thIs past year. She also asked for pledges for this fund raIser. Cecl I Sldwel I. 4754 160th NW - gave a background of his publIc service for the last 20 years, however has dropped out since hIs chl]dren have graduated. He went on to note the problems he has had regarding several cIty-related activities. first with an IncIdent of the CIty prosecuting attorney not pressing charges agaInst his daughter's boYfriend who kicked In their door on March 14, 1988. He was frustrated wIth that decIsion and on March 27, 1989, had a heated phone conversatIon wIth that attorney about the decIsion not to prosecute. Mr. Sidwell went on that the followIng Thursday, the Andover Deputy came to hIs residence and cited several vIolatIons. Those violations Included having three tires on the property, having an old fender and a few auto parts In the yard and not havIng the dog licensed. He was told no one complained about his property, explaIning his property Is very wooded and very secluded so It really cannot be seen. He purchased the property In 1983; and until two years ago, no one else lived In the area. He also has a target for shooting a compound bow on his 1 1/2 acres In the woods, statIng nobody Is around and nobody complains about It. The Deputy told him It Is Illegal to be within 500 feet of a residence. - ~. Regular City Council Meeti ng Minutes - April 4, 1989 Page 2 (Resident Forum. Continued) Me. Sidwell stated he Is now In compliance with the ordinances but felt It was coincidental that the two things happened so close together. He also Intends to become more active. He stated he does keep hIs property well groomed and he did not Intentionally violate the ordinance. But he noted there are many other obvious violations. thinking If there Is going to be a program to beautify Andover. 1 t should be started on the main roads, not go back to a residence where nobody ever goes to fInd violations. Me. Sidwell noted another problem Is having the motor home parked next to the garage. as the ordInance states It should be behind the house. He saId In the winter I t Is parked In the woods. but It was moved closer to the house three weeks ago because he noticed footprints around It. In his case, It Is Inconceivable to park It behind the house, asking what he can do with 1 t . Another problem Is he has been receIving a burnIng permit every year for the past fIve years to burn off branches from trees that have died, etc. However. last year he was told he needs 2 1/2 acres to burn, and there Is no provision for existing houses like his to burn even though he borders on acres and acres of fIelds. He finally had to get permission from hIs neIghbor. During the discussion that followed. Mr. Blake noted no complaint had been filed regarding Mr. Sidwell's property. The Deputy and CIty Staff have been reacting on theIr own Inspections; and In thIs case, the Deputy witnessed the ordInance violations. Mayor Elling noted the ordinance change for target practice because of the hazardous problems occurlng In the urban area. Mr. Sidwell felt there should be some JudicIa] dIscretion on the part of the Deputies. Fire Chief Bob Palmer was not aware of a 2 1/2-acre requirement for burning permits unless there has been a change In the PCA regulations, though there Is a 600-foot requirement. Attorney Hawkins was not aware of the Incident wi th the City prosecuting attorney, though he wI I ] discuss this with hIm. Norma]ly they do not prosecute unless they feel they can prevaIl. Their decIsions are based on their legal experience. Their role Is to serve the residents. not to harass them or to seek retribution against anybody. Mr. Sidwell stated he did cal] back and apologize to the prosecuting attorney. believing now that the two Incidents were coincidental. Counc II discussion with Staff and Mr. Sidwell was on the ordInance provisIons and the procedure for Issuing a warning and the resIdent's compliance wI th It. No Counc II action was taken. Mayor EllIng IndIcated he would discuss this wi th the Deputy. Regular City Council Meeting Minutes - April 4, 1989 Page S (Resident Forum. Continued) Mrs. Bovum - asked for a copy of the ordinance where It states stumps cannot be burled. She noted the pipeline company burled over SOO stumps on her land without asking. Building Official Dave Almgren noted the City policy Is stumps cannot be burled under house or garage pads. If It Is In the right-of-way, the City needs to be made aware of It. He wi I I get her a copy of that policy. Roaer Sharon. 14569 Martin Court - stated this past Saturday the Sheriff Deputy cited him for a basketball hoop which has been located at the end of their cuI de sac for the past 10 years, stating It has to be taken down. There are four other such hoops located at the end of cuI de sacs In the City. feeling It should not have to be taken down. Mr. Sharon stated he was cited for several other things as well, and the Deputy made him fee] "two Inches high". He's lived In the City for 19 years and didn't feel the people should have to put up with that kind of harassment. He owns a three-quarter ton cube van and was told It cannot be housed In the City any longer. It Is his work truck which he would park In the yard at night. So right now It Is being garaged In another City. But this applies to many, many other people In the City who must drive their trucks home at night. PI us It wou I d apply to housing the City vehicles on City property, since that property Is also zoned residential. So he was at City Hall demanding the Deputy ticket the City as well for ordinance violation. He's also gotten two parking tickets In front of his house when he parked out front because the water from the spring thaw made It Impossible to park on his property. He said the Deputy told him his trailer and wheel barre! tipped upside down also did not look proper. He felt that Is really being picky. Counc I] did not recal I the specific ordinance requirement regarding housing trucks. stating they would closelY look at It again. Mayor Elling stated he would talk to the Deputy about this Item also. The Counc II agreed to discuss this again at the Special Meeting on Thursday, Aprl] 6. Dave Plesentl. Creek Rldae. 14424 Jonaull - complained about the drainage problem In their subdivision, noting he has been to City Hall for the past two years In an effort to get the problem resolved. He has talked to many people Involved with that development. getting the same story from all of them -- that too much dirt was taken out of that drainage easement to build up the pads on the north side of Jonqul I. As a result, the area Is too low and the water never drains. He has shot the e]evatlons of the area and found it a fu]1 foot lower than It was supposed to be to the drain sufficientlY. He stated he's been waiting two years to have the problem resolved so he can plant trees and put In a swing set In his back yard. He has now been Informed that he Is In violation because he doesn't have his back yard In. but he cannot do that because his yard Isn't up to grade yet. Regular City Councl] Meeting Minutes - Aprl I 4, 1989 Page 4 (Resident Forum, Continued) Mayor Elling noted the work may have been done properly at the time the plat was accepted. Any work done now would be done on private property and would probably have to be assessed to the residents. Mr. Plesentl stated the City has an 80-foot easement between the lots. He also asked If the City would allow him to bring In his own fill. After further discussion, the engineers were asked to look at the options and costs for correcting the problem. Jack McKeJvev - stated for the last three weeks there has been aggressive tagging of tires, which has resulted In a lot of tires being dumped along the roadside and on City property. He suggested some money from the CDBG Beautification fund be used to pick up the tires from the residents and get rid of them. He felt residents would bring In their three or four tires If It Is convenient; otherwise they won't. He thought that may solve most of the problem. Counc I I noted an Intern has Just begun working for the City to Implement a recycling program. A sugegstlon was to consider tire recycling as well. No further action was taken. AGENDA APPROVAL Counc II agreed to add Items 16a, Finance Director; 23, Developers' Letter; 24. Meyer's Driveway; 25, Adopt a River ResolutIon.

MotIon carrIed unanImously. SHERIFF WILKINSON Sheriff Ken WI]klnson addressed the Council regarding the work of the Sheriff's Department this past year. New Deputies were assigned to Andover In January, and one of the things that was expressed by CIty Regular City Councl Meeting Minutes - Aprl I 4, 1989 Page 5 <Sheriff Wilkinson. Continued) representatives was to clean up the City. Responding to some of the complaints In the Resident Forum this evening, he thought that only warnings or clean-up notices were being given. not citations. He was not concerned so much about the Deputies enforcing the ordinance; but If there are any complaints about the way the Deputies are presenting and conducting themselves, then he would like to know about It. Sheriff Wilkinson reported they are making progress computerizing the Sheriff's Department, so they wi I I have more current and accurate Information concerning the operations In the City. He reviewed the crime trends In Andover In 1988, noting burglaries have dropped 60 percent and that othe. crimes tend to be lower as wel I. However. narcotics has had a significant Increase In Andover as well as around the county. The Sheriff also reviewed the special activities done In Andover during 1988 Including a specIal bugl ary detail, traff I c enforcement, speed enforcement project on Seventh Avenue. special enforcement project on Round Lake regarding the snowmobile problem, the Tonson tIre fire, and the operation at the Vapors establishment. Sheriff WilkInson also noted one of Andover's concerns In the past has been the amount of tIme Andover Deputies spend responding to calls for aid outside of the City. They have found that Andover Is benefitting more from reciprocal cal] s than It Is assisting others. The Sheriff also renewed his offer to set up a Law Enforcement Committee to establish a more routine communications system between the residents, City. and SherIff's Department. He would provide a staff leve] person to meet with a delegation of the City's choice and at the CIty's convenience. Mayor Elling stated he Is In the process of setting up such a committee and will be bringing It up for Council approval shortly. Mayor Elling also asked If the construction of the Sheriff's garage Is stl] I being proposed to be In Andover. Sheriff Wilkinson stated he presented that proposal to the Capl tal Improvements Committee and was not aware any change had been made. The Counc II then thanked the Sheriff and expressed apprecIation for the services being provided. RED OAKS MANOR/CROSSTOWN STORM DRAIN Me. Rodeberg reviewed the handout regarding the storm sewer proJect along Crosstown Boulevard north of 140th Inc]udlng costs and a proposed assessment area. One alternative would be to assess the entire tributary area at four cents per square foot. but to then except a 200-foot strip abutting the roadway which the City would carry. The 200 feet Is derIved from a 150-foot lot plus 50 feet of -. Regular City Council Meeting Minutes - April 4, 1989 Page 6 (Red Oaks Manor/Crosstown Storm Drain, Continued) right of way along the roadway, feeling this may be somewhat equivalent to what was done along Crosstown south of 140th where the Counc II did not to assess for storm drainage. This proJect differs In that It has a much larger tributary area. All other MSA and county proJects have had only minimal storm drainage work done; this Is the only one that has a tributary area beyond 200 feet of the roadway I tsel f. The storm sewer was designed and sized to take care of the larger area. which Includes Shady Knoll, Kensington Estates, etc. Mr. Rodeberg explained the amount of money In question Is $70.317.45, which Is Andover's share that Is not eligible for MSA or county funding. There was a very lengthy deliberation as to what would be the best course of action. Mr. Davidson felt the choices are to assess the entire tributary area. to not assess as was done on al] other proJects, or to assess al I but abate the 200-foot area from the roadway. Mr. Schrantz explained If the Counc II chooses not to assess. the money would not come out of the ad valorum; It would come out of some Improvement money. Mr. Davidson explained It could come from State Aid funds that have been accumulated. or go back to the County and renegotiate their share of the proJect, or use the maintenance fund from State Aid, possibly spreading It over a 20-year period to pay for the storm sewer costs. Jerrv W i ndsch I t I - asked If there Is going to be a change In policy and begin assessing along MSA roads. then how many years rectroactlve will It be. He noted this proJect was completed two years ago; and If the pol Icy Is changed to assess, other proJects will be affected as well. He asked that he be treated the same as everyone else. He also went Into detal I showing how the county did not pay for Its entire share of the storm sewer system. plus they paid only 8 percent for engineering, legal. and administration. So some of that $70,000 I~ actually the county's share for overhead and not a part of the storm sewer costs. He calculated the City's share should only be $26,900, not $70,000. Mr. Wlndschltl didn't think It was reasonable to assess the residents for money that should have been paid for by the county. He asked the Council to direct TKDA to determine the cost of a minimum storm drainage system to handle Just the county road. which will prove his point that the City's share should be far less than $70.000. Councllmember Orttel was concerned that the overhead on the proJect Is not a direct benefit and Is not being reimbursed by the county, which means about 22 percent of the overhead on the proJect would have to be paid for by Andover's residents. Other concerns raised by the Counc I I were where the funds would come from If the City adheres to the policy of not assessing along MSA or county roads, can the City absorb the costs of these Improvements In the future, and whether the policy should be changed now or modified to assess areas beyond the Immediate road area. Regular City Council Meeting Minutes - April 4. 1989 Page 7 (Red Oaks Manor/Crosstown Storm Drain, Continued) MOTION by Knight. Seconded by Orttel. that we direct the City Administrator to renegotiate with the county on that Issue and then after getting the results on that, we bring the Issue back for resolution; and have TKDA calculate the minImum storm sewer system for the county road for the area In question. Motion carried unanimously. The Council recessed at 9:48; reconvened at 9:57 p.m. SONSTEBY SEWER REQUEST Mr. Sch~antz asked to talk to the MWCC regarding Ms. Sonsteby's request so see what their response would be. Council suggested the request be made in writing and followed up by personal contact. However, the intent would be not to reduce any of the MUSA already allocated to the City. It was noted no escrow funds would be needed at this time. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Jacobson, that the Council direct Staff to submit a written request with whatever authorities need be regarding the matter of p~ovldlng sewer service to the Sonsteby property through the City of Anoka Interceptor System per the petition of Rosella Sonsteby, and then converse with those authoritIes. Motion carried unanimously. AWARD QUOTES/NORTHWOODS TENNIS COURT Park and Recreation Commission Chairman Marc McMullen reviewed the quotes for the northwoods Tennis Cou~t and to award the contract to Burt Kraabel Construction for Alternate B for $37.433.35. Mr. Haas explained the cost Is strictly for the tennIs court construction and excavation. The existing fencing and lighting will be used again. It wi I J cost $1.800 to ~emove the existing fence and to put It back again; however, that will be done by another company. Mr. Haas also explained Alternate A had more select granular material than Alternate B; however. he felt the material bid In B wIll be of sufficient quaJlty. They also plan to monlto~ It closely to be sure that correct material Is being used. Chairman McMullen explained they have $35,000 In the budget for this proJect, and the remainder will have to come out of park dedication. He also noted the petition In favor of reconstructing the tennis court from the residents In the neighborhood; there was no opposition. Mr. Rodeberg felt the materia] In Alte~nate A would have better compaction and would allow for better drainage; but if the material for Alternate B Is tested ahead of time, he had no problem with It. Regular City Council Meeting Minutes - April 4, 1989 Page 8 (Award Quotes/Northwoods TennIs Court. Continued) MOTION by Orttel. Seconded by KnIght, that the Council authorize reconstructIon of the Northwoods tennis court and award the bId based on bid Alterate B to Burt Kraabel Construction In the amount of $37,433.35, and authorIze an expenditure of not to exceed $1.800 for the removal and replacement and repair of the tennis court fence. MotIon carried unanlmous]y. PARK BOARD/ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT Chairman McMullen reported one of the Commissioners has had six unexcused absenses and has stated he may resign but has not yet done so. The Ordinance notes a CommIssioner cannot have more than three unexcuted meetings. but It does not give specIfic guidelines as to the procedure once those meetIngs are missed. He asked for direction from the Council. Council felt the OrdInance should be amended to Include the same procedure as Is spelled out for unexcused absenses on the PlannIng CommissIon. In the meantime, ChaIrman McMullen was advIsed to send a letter to the CommissIoner In question. MSA FIVE-YEAR CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM Councl] dIscussed the FIve-Year MSA Street Improvement Program as proposed by the Road Committee. Mr. Schrantz explained the county Is plannIng to reconstruct the curves on Constance In 1990 so the road will be shifted to the south. The county will then construct that portIon of University Avenue from the new Constance north to the exIsting Constance. After dIscussIng the proposal to construct University Avenue between 157th and 163rd In 1990. It was noted the residents In that area are opposed to puttIng University through to Constance. Also, last year the Intent was not to put It through because there Is no demand for It. It was then agreed to move this proposal to Item c In 1991. Councllmember Orttel also questioned Item b In 1991, 151st Avenue from Crosstown to Round Lake. thInking It Is costly, unnecessary and not feasible. Staff noted there Is not enough MSA funds to satisfy all the proposals and that changes can be made In the future. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, that the City Council approve the Five-Year MSA ConstructIon Program as presented, with one change: take 1990, a. and move It to 1991. c. (Unlvesrlty Avenue between 157th Avenue and 163rd Avenue). DISCUSSION: Mayor EllIng stated the Fire Department Is looking at different locatIons for a Regular City Council Meeting Minutes - Aprl I 4, 1989 Page 9 <MSA Five-Year Construction Program. Continued> northwest station, now leaning toward somewhere on Round Lake Boulevard. Councilmember Orttel thought it made more sense to have a northerly cross In the area of 165th than to put 151st through the sod fields. VOTE ON MOTION: YES-E]ling, Jacobson, Knight, Perry; NO-Orttel because he didn't feel the 151st location Is feasible. Motion carried. APPROVE PLANS AND SPECS/88-1/CROSSTOWN BRIDGE MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson, a Resolution as presented <See Resolution R058-89 approving final plans and specifications and ordering advertisement for bids for ProJect 88-1, Crosstown Boulevard bridge construction> DISCUSSION: Councilmember Orttel stated he wi I I vote yes to obtain bids but wi I I vote no on awarding the proJect unless something is negotiated with the county regarding the amount of overhead they contribute on Joint proJects. Motion carried unanimously. MEYER'S DRIVEWAY Mr. Rodeberg explained he has talked with Mr. and Mrs. Meyer, noting there are some legitimate concerns which they are having corrected. However, their complaint is the problem Is due to the construction of the road. and both TKDA and the county disagree with that. The sodding problem will be taken care of this spring. There Is also a bump in the boulevard that should not be. and the Meyers have been told the contractor will come back to fix that. The contractor has not been given the final payment until these problems are corrected. Mr. Rodeberg also stated TKDA and the county are writing a Joint letter to the Meyers outlining the complaints and what Is being done. No Counc I I action was taken at this time. APPROVE PLANS AND SPECS/89-4/RED OAKS 6TH MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, the Resolution as presented. <See Resolution R059-89 approving final plans and specs and ordering advertisement for bids for ProJect 89-4, Red Oaks 6th for watermaln, sanitary sewer. storm drain and streets with concrete curb and gutter> Motion carried unanimously. - -- Regu]ar City Council Meeting Minutes - April 4, 1989 Page 10 FIRE DEPARTMENT Fire Chief Bob Palmer reported he terminated one of the firefighters who falsified Information from a doctor and admitted to stealing a gas can and a pager. However, there was not the 2-'3 vote needed from the firefighters to sustain that termination. Under the Ordinance, this Individual has a right to a hearing by the City Council. Council directed Chief Palmer to write to the Individual explaining the options available and to ask what course of action he would like to take. Council also asked that the Attorney research as to whether O~ not the hea~lng can be held In closed session. If a public hearing Is to be held, Council agreed to hold It at the next regular meeting. AWARD STREET SWEEPING QUOTE Frank Stone. Public Works Supervisor, explained Foss Sweeping Service did not send In their written quote on time. Therefore, he recommends awarding the contract to Gorecki & Company even though they are not the low bid because they can begin Immediately. The policy has always been to sweep the streets as early as possible to avoid sand In the storm sewers. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Perry, that we approve the sweeping contract to Gorecki and Company at an hourly rate of $49.50 for up to 230 hours. DISCUSSION: Mr. Stone noted once the proJect Is started, they cannot stop In the middle. Council stated Mr. Stone should use his discretion when It comes to the number of hours for street sweeping, but to stay as close to the budget as possible. Motion carried unanimously. APPROVE AMENDED ASSESSOR'S CONTRACT MOTION by Jacobson. Seconded by Perry, that we approve a Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Andover and County of Anoka dated 20 March 1989 for local assessment costs and authorize the Mayor to sign the document. This action would rescind an earlIer Joint Powers Agreement for the same services and this reflects a difference In unit costs charged to the City. Motion carried unanlmous]y. TAX FORFEIT LAND SALE Council reviewed the tax forfeit properties within the City of Andover and decided not to purchase any of the parcels.

Council discussed whether the offIces should have temporary or permanent divIders. Regular City Council Meeting Minutes - April 4. 1989 Page 12 (City Hall Remodeling, Continued) After discussion It was generally agreed the wall separating the offices from the Senior Citizens Center must be permanent. with the door moved as close to the restrooms as possible. The existing door going Into the lunchroom would be removed and used as the door to the Senior Citizens Center. The permanent wal] would also Jog so there would be access to the restrooms from the Center without having to walk Into an office. Counc II also preferred room dividers within the office area Itself rather than permanent walls for flexibility and to facilitate heating and air conditioning. Mr. Almgren recommended completely redoing the heating and air conditioning systems and to change from fuel 01 I to natural gas. Counc II asked him to get a cost estimate for that proJect as wel I as for remodeling the foyer. They also asked for a revised drawing of the proposed remodeling with cost estimates.

ROUND LAKE BOULEVARD WATERMAIN Council noted the negatIve petitIon for water servIce along the west side of Round Lake Boulevard just north of SuperAmerlca. Mr. Schrantz explained the cost to Jack a I-Inch line across Round Lake Boulevard to serve the Bole property Is about $1,200. Mr. Bole would be assessed for the full lateral benefit at this time and would not be assessed again when the full line Is run past the property. Council suggested Mr. Bole be asked to waive the public hearing. No action was taken at this time. ORDINANCE RENAMING STREET Mr. Schrantz explained the ordinance Is a housekeeping Item. as the previous Council had approved the renaming of 140th Lane In the Hills of Bunker Lake to South Coon Creek Drive; however, the ordinance was never adopted. The Council generally did not see the need for the change and noted It would create a hardship for those living on the street to have to change their address. MOTION by Jacobson. Seconded by Perry. that we table the request to change 140th Lane to South Coon Creek Drive. DISCUSSION: Mr. Wlndschltl - stated "South Coon Creek DrIve" Is very confusing, as Coon Rapids has designated a piece of Crosstown to South Coon Creek DrIve. He suggested the Council ask Coon Rapids to reconsider that designation to either rename It Crosstown or Verdin. The Council asked the Staff to find out how the people on 140th Lane feel about the name change and to talk with Coon Rapids officials about the naming of the new Crosstown Boulevard. Motion carried unanimously. . - .
