upgrading the playground and enter Into a Joint powers agreement with
the School District and their Parent Advisory Council for that
proJect. The School District and the Parent Advisory Council have
aJready committed $14,000 each.
Frank Stone. Public Works Supervisor - stated they met with the
School District and the Advisory Council regarding the City's concerns
about completing the ball fields and making the hockey rink a
priority.
Ms. Judd - stated the Advisory Council Is willing to raise funds to
do whatever Is necessary to upgrade the hockey rInk. The SchooJ
District has scheduled to put In the ball fields In July.

(Crooked Lake PJayground Equipment Request, Continued)
Wa II v Johnson. Crooked Lake Prlnclpal - explained when the property
around the school developed, It was discovered the bal I flelds were
100 teet over the property line. But there were no funds In the
budget to upgrade the bal I dIamonds this past year. Approxlmately
$3.000 has been budgeted for 1989. and he Is confident work wi I I begin
on thebal] diamonds some time during the week of July 4. Mr.
Johnson stated he also asked that the fields be maintained frequently
to keep them In good condition. Also, they hope to raise funds to
complete the hockey rink In the near future. He welcomes a working
agreement wi th the City to upgrade the playground so it can be used
for community and school purposes.
Dick Nvbeck. Anoka-Hennepln School DistrIct - reviewed some of the
other Joint powers agreements entered Into with other cities to
provide playgrounds and ball fields. The School District has already
agreed to this proposal where each of the three parties would
contribute 33 1/3 percent of the costs. The entire cost Is about
$42,000. and It Is hoped to be done this year.
Ms. Judd - noted the first phase of the proJect would cost abou t
$26.000, and they wi] I provide a breakdown of costs, labor, etc. They
will go out for bids to be sure the prices are competitIve.
Counc 11 discussion noted the City does not have the funding In the
bUdget for 1989, though there was a general consensus to participate
In the project. Councllmember Jacobson asked If the fIrst phase ot
the project could be done this year wIth the funding from the School
District and the Advisory Councl]. wIth the second phase done In 1990
using the City's contribution. That way the City could Include the
item Into the 1990 budget.
Ms. Judd. Mr. Johnson. and Mr. Nybeck a] I felt that would be
agreeable.
Counc I I raised the question as to what the City wou]d do If School
District 15 asked for the same type of contribution. Marc McMu I I en.
Park Board Chairman. stated the Park Board discussed that Issue. It
probably would not happen with District 15 because they do not have
any schools withIn the City Ilml ts; however, It is conceivab]e the
City would have a slmlllar request for the Andover Schoo]. The
thinking was the City Hal I Complex Is close enough to the Andover
Schoo] where such a program may not be needed; whereas. there are no
other park facilities next to the Crooked Lake School other than the
boat landing. But this Joint venture would make It easier for the CI ty
and athletic associations to use the fields. which the Park Board
teels Is Important.

Minutes - June 6. 1989
Page 3
(Crooked Lake Playground Equipment Request. Continued)
Me. Johnson noted the fields could be scheduled for use after school
and In the summer. He saw a new relationship In the use of the
facilities with the signing of the Joint powers agreement.
There was a brief discussion on whether Meadowcreek Church would be
Interested In participating In the program If the playground was
enlarged. Several problems were raised as to possible time conflIcts
in the use of the playground. though It was felt that the matter Is
worth pursuing. Councllmember Jacobson stated he would ask the
Meadowcreek Board If there Is any Interest.
Me. Nvbeck - thought the maintenance costs would be divided three
ways as set out in the Joint powers agreement. though he fe]t that Is
a negotiable Item. Mr. Johnson - stated the grounds crew would be
responsible for maintaining the Crooked Lake equIpment. so the City
Staff would not be Involved. Counc II generally felt the City shou]d
not be Involved In the costs of maintenance.
Attorney HawkIns saw no problem with the Joint powers agreement except
that legall y It can only be between two governmental units. The
Advisory Council cannot be Included In the actual agreement.
Me. Nvbeck - saw no problem with the Joint powers agreement stating
the school district would pay for two-thirds and the City one-third.
MOTION by Perry. Seconded by Knight. that the Andover City Council
enter Into a JoInt powers agreement with School District 11 for the
Improvement of the Crooked Lake Elementary School park with the
understanding that Phase 1 would be done In the year 1989; and tha t
Phase 2 would be done In the year of 1990. and at that time the CI ty
of Andover would budget for $14.000 of the 1990 Capital Budget; and
authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the Joint powers agreement.
Motion carried unanimously.
NORTH LEXINGTON LANDSCAPING SPECIAL USE PERMIT
Chairperson Pease reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to
approve the speclal use perml t to mine soil to form a wlldJlfe pond by
North Lexington Landscaping. TheIr concern was the proximity to the
gas plpJine easement, recommending that permIts be sought from the DNR
and Army Corps of Engineers and a letter from Koch Pipe as to who
wouJd be liable should any spl]1 or damage occur as a result of the
issuance of this permit.
Me. Blake stated the City has not yet received a letter from Koch
Pipeline.
Mr. Kuiken. North LexlnQton LandscaplnQ - was told Koch Plpe]lne
was going to call the City. He didn't know If they had.
Regular City Council Meeting
MInutes - June 6. 1989

(North Lexington Landscaping Special Use Permit, Continued)
Me. Blake stated the City wants additional assurance that there would
be no detrimental effect In the area of the pipe as a result of the
City issuing this permit. as the pond does get very close to the
easement. The City has written to Koch Pipeline asking for that
assurance but has not yet heard anything.
Me. Kuiken - stated he tried to get a letter from them but they
won't give one because the digging Is not on the easement. The
digging on the end of the pond next to the easement Is already done;
he Just has to haul the dIrt away. He will not be doing any more
digging next to the pipeline. only on the other side of the pond.
MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson. Introducing the Reso]utlon
as provided (See Resolution R098-89. approving a Special Use Perml t
requested by North Lexington Landscaping to mine soil from the
property described as that part of the SW 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section
11 32 24 as required per Ordinance 8. Section 4.24) DISCUSSION:
Counc I I agreed to allow Mr. Kuiken to haul the dirt away but not to do
any more digging until the City receives the letter addressing their
concerns from Koch Pipeline. Motion carried unanimously.
WENDT SPECIAL USE PERMIT
Chairperson Pease reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to
approve the Special Use Permit requested by Harold and Irene Wendt to
construct an accessory structure prior to the construction of a
principal structure on property located at approximately 166th and
Verdin Street. They have been asked by the City to clean up their
property, and they want to construct the pole building to put the
I terns In. They do not have any plans for building a house there.
Pole buildings are common In the area. It Is vacant land and would not
have a negative Impact on the traffic.
Harold Wendt - stated It is not a horse pasture at this time, though
It was at one time. There are two empty semis which he put there 15
years ago and had been using for storage of tiles for his business.
He stated he Is now cutting them up. He got a letter from the City of
Andover asking hIm to clean up his property. so he wants to put up the
building to store everylng In.
Councllmember Jacobson was reluctant to grant such a permit with no
plans to construct the principal structure. thinking that has not been
done in the past. Other Councllmembers noted It has been al lowed and
the ordinance does not mention that plans are needed for the principal
structure for the perml t to be granted.
Councllmember Perry was concerned about the maIntenance of a single
accessory building when no one Is living on the property, not wan t i ng
to create an unsightly parcel. There Is also the Issue of vandalism.

(Wendt Special Use Permit, Continued)
Me. Blake stated the placement of the structure allows for future
subdivision of the parce 1 . noting the plans before the Council show
how subdivision could occur In the future.
Mr. Wendt - stated his son I I ves on Parce I A and would be watching
the building.
MOTION by Knight. Seconded by Orttel, to approve the request as
presented. (See Resolution R099-89 approving the Special Use Permit
request of Harold and Irene Wendt) DISCUSSION: Councllmember Octtel
didn't think there would be a maintenance or vandaJism problem with
their son living next to It. as I twill appear to be a part of that
residence. He also thought similar requests were granted and the
principal structures were never built even though there were plans to
do so.
VOTE ON MOTION: YES-EJ ling, Knight. Orttel; NO-Jacobson, Perry
Motion carried.
CAMPBELL COMPANIES SPECIAL USE PERMIT
Me. Blake reviewed the SpeclaJ Use Permit application of Campbel Is
Companies for a permanent monument sign located at the Junction of
Bittersweet Street and Bunker Lake Boulevard at the Bent Creek Estates
development. He was surprised to see that the sign Is already up, as
It was put I n after It was approved by the P & z. The one other Item
that needs to be addressed Is the maintenance agreement. The property
owner of that lot must know that the sign Is on his Jot and that he Is
required to maintain It. Me. Campbe I I has stated he wouJd contact the
purchaser of that Jot to sign an agreement.
Me. Blake changed his recommendation. urging the Council to table the
Item or grant It contingent upon the City receiving that maintenance
agreement. The Counc I I was generalJy annoyed with having to act on
the request after the fact and discussed courses of action when I terns
are acted upon afterwards. Attorney Hawkins advised the possibility
of doubling the fees or Imposing a minimum of $150 or $200 fine In
such Instances to reimburse the extra staff time for Inspections and
ordinance enforcement. No action was taken regarding this Issue.
MOTION by OrtteJ. Seconded by Jacobson, a Resolution approving the
Special Use Permit request of Campbel I Companies, Inc.. to allow the
placement of a permanent monument sign In Bent Creek Estates on
property described as Lot 1 . Block 1 Bent Creek Estates, Anoka County.
Minnesota, wi th the fol lowing provision: that documentation be
obtained showing that the lot purchaser Is wiJllng to accept the
maintenance of the sign. (See Resolution R100-89) Motion carried on
a 4-Yes, I-No (Knight) vote.

OLESEN ADDITION FINAL PLAT
Councllmember Jacobson was concerned about Item 3 in the Staff's
recommendation regarding the escrow for uncompleted grading. Given
the recent problems In Creekrldge where the final grading may not have
been correctly done, he wondered what could be done to protect the
City and to assure that the grading does meet the specifications.
There was some Council discussion on the procedure used In all plats,
not! ng that the only problem there has been Is In Creekrldge and that
It would be costly to have the City survey the final grading for
conformance. Some Councllmembers still fe It there should be some
method by which recourse could be taken against the developer or
engineer if the grading specifications are not fol lowed. Suggestions
were to have each lot surveyed prior to the issuance of the
Certificate of Occupancy or to hold the escrow for two to three years
unt II the plat Is developed out.
Counc II noted there has been a question on the drainage on Lot 3.
Mr. Olesen - stated Mr. Haas told him the drainage plan Is correct.
He stated he hasn't done any grading yet. He understood Mr. Haas had
said the final grading plan hadn't been approved yet. He's been
waiting for those final plans. Councllmember Orttel stated typically
the grading Is done when the final plat Is approved. That also
eliminates the need for escrowing for the work.
Me. Olesen - stated he was going to grade the three lots and rough
grade the entire 20 acres, Including the cui de sac. When the three
lots sold. he planned to do the second phase and put In the blacktop.
Rather than changing the process for all plats, Councllmember Orttel
recommended the City pay particular attention to the grading In this
plat because of the questions raised about the drainage on Lot 3.
MOTION by Perry, Seconded by Orttel. to request on the 01 esen
Addl t!on Final that the CI ty at the time the grading Is completed,
that the City Engineer go out and verify the grading, and that the
Planning Commission be asked to look at the process that is currently
standard In the City and make a recommendation to the Council for
either continuing that standard process or recommendations for changes
to It. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Olesen - didn't realize the grading could be done before the
final plat was approved. expressing annoyance at wasting the last 60
days. He stated he preferred to do the grading prior to final plat
approval and avoid having to escrow for grading. Counc II agreed to
table the Item until the grading Is completed.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, that we table this until the
grading Is completed. Motion carried unanimously.

VARIANCE/RAINTREE REALTY
Chairperson Pease reviewed the request of Ralntree Realty for a
variance to allow the construction of a single family home situated
greater than 45 degrees from the front lot line at 16451 Makah Street.
Because the original approved plans we~e not followed by the bullde~.
the Planning Commission recommended denial of the variance and to
prosecute under the Building Codes criminal proceedings. The house
would then become a nonconforming structure which would not have to be
moved.
Ron Sml th. Ralntree Realtv - applied for the building permit, then
realized the house was facing the tu~key farm. So they changed the
way It faced. and he didn't get back to City Hall to have the Building
Off Iclal Inspect and approve It. After the house was substantlal]y
up. he was told he was In violation of the ordinance. Mr. Sml th
apologized for the error, not realizing It was an ordinance violation.
It Is on a five-acre corner lot.
Dave Almgren, Bui Idlng Official, believes the structure Is further
back off the road than shown on the map. Attorney Hawkins understood
what the Planning Commission was trying to do, but didn't think
prosecuting Mr. Smith will solve the problem. In this instance, it is
conceivable that an argument for undue hardship would be the turkey
farm across the road. which was not created by the landowners. He
would rather see the Council consider the variance under the criteria,
thinking there Is some latitude here. Perhaps Mr. Sml th shou I d be
required to pay for the administrative time the City has put In
because of the error. If the variance Is granted. he cou I d stll I
prosecute for Intentlona]ly changing approved plans.
Councllmember Knight stated no matter which way the house Is faced, I t
wi I I view a lot of the farm activities. He didn't know what harm Is
Involved. Councllmember Perry was concerned about leaving the house
as a nonconforming structure, because that penalizes any purchaser as
he may not be able to get financing and wi 11 not be able to expand on
that use at any time. She didn't see that anything was gained
financially by changing the plans. Councllmember Orttel didn't think
the variance was as much of a concern as the Intentional changing of
an approved plan. He saw no reason to burden a future owner with a
nonconforming use. Councilmember Jacobson disagreed, stating the act
was Intentionally done and It does not meet the criteria for granting
a variance.
Discussion continued on how and when the error was noticed. about what
has been done In the past. about the fear of setting a precedent, and
on what to do to discourage builders from changing approved plans In
the future.

Minutes - June 6, 1989

(Varlance/Raintree Realty. Continued)
MOTION by Orttel. Seconded by Knight. that a variance be granted to
the frontage of the property located at 16451 Makah Street to al low
location of the house more than 40 degrees off from the Makah Street
frontage, and that due to the fact that this has been received after
the location of the structure was situated, the City will require that
all I ts costs Involved in the Investigation and processing of the
variance will be passed to the property owner -- at our costs
Including our overhead. (See Resolution Rl01-89) DISCUSSION:
Councilmember Jacobson felt this sets a precedent and that the City's
ordinances wi I I continue to be I aughed at. Councllmember Perry agreed
with the Planning Commission's Justifications for a variance, other
than the turkey farm. Motion carried on a 4-Yes, i-No (Jacobson)
vote.
KIRBY ESTATES PONDING DISCUSSION
Me. Schrantz explained the pond In Kirby Estates Is part of the
regional ponding system, reviewing the overall storm drainage plan
approved by Coon Rapids and Andover. If this area was not being
platted, the City would have to get the land for this pond. Mr. and
Mrs. Olson disagree with the City's previous action to take ai I the
land as part of the plat. Me. Schrantz stated another Issue Is the
Engineer from Coon Rapids has Indicated a desire to move a pond south
of 133rd north Into Andover on Mr. Smith's property.
Me. Schrantz stated the City did not pay for the regional pondlng on
Colony Estates but other ponds In a regional pond area, such as Red
Oaks. have been purchased. Coon Rapids pays about $10.000 an acre for
high land, $3,000 an acre for lowland, and $l,OOO/acre for wetland
when acquiring property. Using that formula. they avoid the expense
of hiring appraisers.
After a brief discussion, Counc I 1 asked that the amount of area needed
for the regional pond and the amount needed for the Kirby Estates plat
be calculated, and the City would pay for the difference in area
needed over and above the needs of the plat itself.
Jack McKelvev - stated Coon Rapids took 1.1 acres of land on 131st
for pondlng. He received $4.000 for the land and then was assessed
for storm sewer for $3,900. He recommended checking with Coon Rapids
to see how much they are paying for land for pondlng since they too
are acquiring land In that area. Me. Schrantz stated Andover wll I be
assessed using Coon Rapids' policy, suggesting Andover also acquire
Its ponds using their policy. Counc II agreed to check with Coon
Rapids and to negotiate with the property owners.
Regular City Council Meetl ng
Minutes - June 6, 1989
Page 9
(Kirby Estates Pondlng Discussion. Continued)
MOTION by Jacobson. Seconded by Perry. that we direct the Attorney
and,'or City Engineer to check the parcel In question that we have been
discussing and to come up with a dollar figure which would be the
difference between the actual acreage taken for the normal drainage
from the plat versus the amount of drainage contained In the large
regional pondlng scheme and to come up with an offer and use that as a
basis for discussion with the property owners. Motion carried
unanimously.
Counc II discussed the pond along 133rd that Is now In Coon Rapids.
Mr. Schrantz stated Andover needs to hold a hearing to assess for
storm drainage north of 133rd between Hanson and Jay Street. He noted
the costs for the proJect given by Coon Rapids Is almost twice as much
as originally estimated.
Ken Gust - stated he working on the Coon Rapids side and didn't know
why they would put 133rd through the low part when so much ponding Is
needed, especial 1 y wi th the street being so wide. He thought maybe
the 100-year flood elevation wll I need to be adJusted, noting the
results of borings done by Coon Rapids. Given the large expense
Involved In the storm drainage system, he thought other alternatives
should be looked at such as adding more bounce to the ponds for
additional storage rather than adding extra acreage.
No Counc II action was taken on the matter.
DUERR PROPERTY DISCUSSION
Mr. Blake raised the Issue for discussion of the blue home in the Red
Oaks Manor 6th Addition development. Since the memo was written to
the Counc II , Kenko. Inc. , has agreed to buy the house. Dave Almgren.
Building Official, understands Kenko now plans to remove the house
from the property. Me. Blake stated If the house Is moved, the grading
plan wi J I need to be readdressed.
Counc I J supported the Staff's position to have the house removed from
the property, though It was recognized that cannot be required.

DECLARE COSTS/ORDER HEARING/86-21/133RD AVENUE
Me. Schrantz reviewed the proJect of watermain, sanitary sewer. storm
drain and streets for 133rd Avenue and Jay Street area. The cost for
storm sewer. the proJect done by Coon Rapids, Is about $35.000 more
than they had estimated. Those numbers affect everyone In the
benefitted area west of Jay Street. The area to the east of Jay
Street will need to have a pub]lc hearing. Plus 133rd Avenue will be
assessed because Good Va]ue Homes and Stanton both petitioned for It.
Counc II expressed concern over the cost Increase In the storm sewer
proJect. Mr. Schrantz noted that was covered In the agreement signed
