REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - MARCH 21, 1989 MINUTES The Regular Bi-MonthJy Meeting of the Andover City Council was cal1ed to order by Mayor Jim EI ling on March 21. 1989, 7:30 p.m.. at at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota. Councilmen present: Jacobson. Knight, Ortte 1 . Perry Councl1men 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 Laurel Landowsk i . 13857 Undercl 1ft - asked the Council to grant her a Special Use Permit to run her business. Merrymalds. Inc.. out of her home. Me. Blake reviewed his memo to the Council regarding the Item, giving a brief background and noting the ordinance violations. There was a complaint about parking In the streets In 1987; however, i t appears the Staff did not follow up on it. In reviewing the criteria for Issuing special use permits, he felt it would be difficult to Just I fy the permi t. so he urged Ms. Landowski to come before the Council before making application. Ms. Landowski - stated she has converted the detached garage Into her office and for storing her supplies. She employees 18 people, who report to work at the office In the morning to pick up their assignments. Then they leave for the remainder of the day. The Counc i I briefly discussed the prob1em, some thinking it wou1d be very difficult to grant a permit when there are five or six violations. However, Ms. Landowski was advised the correct procedure would be to make an application so a publ ic hearing can be held by the Planning Commission. AGENDA APPROVAL It was agreed to add the f0110wlng Items: 9a, C]osed Meeting with the Attorney on Litigation Issues; lOa. Street Light BII ling: lla. Sewer and Water Budget: 12, Project 89-6, Rebul1dlng Well No. 1 ; and 13, Coon Creek Watershed Update. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, the Agenda as amended. Motion carried unanimously. ~ Regular City Council Meeting Minutes - March 21. 1989 Page 2 APPROVAL OF MINUTES Mayor Elling asked for a motion to approve the March 7 Regular Meeting Minutes. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson, to so move. Motion carried unanimously. REVOCATION OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT/IMRE Me. Blake reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to revoke the Special Use Permit given to John Imre that al lowed the construction of a building for the purpose of sel ling and storing new and used auto parts at 1714 Bunker Lake Boulevard. He also reviewed the events leading up to the proposed revocation of the permit. The property owner Is In violation of Ordinances 8 and 44 and was given several notices of Inspection. Me. Blake also had pictures of the violations for the Counc II to view. Mayor EI ling understood Mr. Imre Is talking about moving out of the City, Mr. Blake said Me. Imre made the statement at the meeting that he was planning to move to another county and was going to come to the Counc 11 to ask for a six-month extension. Counc I I noted Mr. Imre Is not present this evening. Counc I I asked what use the owner would have i f the permit was revoked and whether another permit must be granted If the property Is sold or leased and the new owner makes a request to operate the same business. Attorney Hawkins advised the revocation of the perm! t takes away the use of the property for the selling and storing of new and used auto parts: however. the building could be used for other purposes. The City has no obligation to grant another permit to a different owner. as it has been the position that area is saturated with that type of business and that use is being Ilml ted. MOTION by Orttel. Seconded by Orttel. that the Counc I] direct Staff to prepare findings of fact and a resolution revoking the Special Use Permit for Rlght-A-Way Auto Parts iocated at 1714 Bunker Lake Boulevard issued In 1984 to John Imre, stating the reasons as given In the Investigative report in the Counci 1 Agenda of 3-21-89. and have it presented to the Council at our next regular meeting for approval. Also, include the legal description of all property Involved. DISCUSSION: Attorney Hawkins advised this is the official revocation and the Item does not have to be reopened if requested. Motion carried unanimously. Regular City Council t1eeti ng Minutes - March 21. 1989 Page 3 ACCEPT DEED/WATERMAIN DISCUSSION - WOODLAND CREEK Byron Westlund and Lary Carlson representing Woodland Development were present. Attorney Hawkins explained the easement description of 60 feet and the maintenance obligation of the developer, as he has agreed to cut the grass and remove the debris for 100 feet. Mr. Westlund presented a sketch of a proposed sign at the entrance to the golf course and park. They propose locating it to the west of the easement on park property. though they have not talked to the Park Board about I t yet. Attorney Hawkins stated the specific location should be Identified and the description written and included In the deed before I t Is signed. Also the size and design wi] I be subject to City review and approval. Counci Iman Jacobson questioned whether the City can legal]y give an easement over park property for private purposes. Attorney Hawkins stated the law Is not clear; however the use Is not Inconsistent with the use of the park. It Is an access road: and the CI ty Is giving the right of passage through It. There is also some benefit to the City. Therefore, it is his opinion that the City Is Justified in granting the easement for that purpose. t-le. Carlson stated the intent is the parking lot could be used by residents who want to use the park during the periods of time that the golf course Is open. The road and parking lot would be closed with a gate at the property line during the winter months. They will be cleaning up the park area, though now It Is an unattractive, narrow strip of land. Mayor El ling stated there has been a proposal to extend the water service to the Woodland Creek Golf Course Clubhouse. This would complete the loop when water service eventually goes through Green Acres and Northwoods. One of the concerns of the Fire Department Is getting a fire hydrant closer to the Clubhouse and that they would have enough water pressure. Mr. Westlund stated the cost of bringing in water for Just the Clubhouse. which is only a six-month operation, Is prohibitive. The facilities have only two restronms and they have their own we I I for watering the golf course. They feel they can use that well for any water needs they may have. Me. Carlson believed they were given conceptual approval to developing their own septic system and well for the Clubhouse. The estimated cost to extend the water line is $16.000. It is very costly, and It wi II not be used. They plan to have bottled water for consumption. so the only use for water in the clubhouse is for the restrooms. They have a free-standing wel I nearby to which the Fire Department will be able to hook up to. At this point It seems the only reason for the extension Is to serve the Clubhouse, and they do not need It. Regular City Council Meeting Minutes - March 21, 1989 Page 4 (Accept Deed-'Watermaln Dlsscuslon - Woodland Creek, Continued) Counc II noted I f the utl]ities are not put In now, they could be put In later as the area develops or neighborhoods petition for It. Then the golf course would be assessed. Me. Rodeberg stated If the utilities were brought In later, they could be put behInd the curb so the road would not be torn up. Councllmember Knight asked If Mr. Carlson ever foresaw the Clubhouse developing into a restaurant. Me. Carlson stated not really. and It is not their Intent. Their permi t is strictly for pop In cans and food that can be microwaved. He also stated he reserved the right to talk about any assessment that might be imposed In the future to be sure i t is fair: however, at this time, $16.000 Is objectionable when the service Is not needed. At this time the Counci I generai Iy agreed with Mr. Carlson's position to not to extend the utilities along the road: however, they asked to have the deed Include the provision for streets and utilities to be able to Instal] them in the future. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Jacobson, that the Counc i i authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign a deed granting an easement to Woodland Development Corporation through the Creekrldge Estates Park as described with the following additions: that the use be amended to include municipal utilities and sign usage in addition to road usage: and the Mayor would not sign the document until such time as Woodland Development provides a description of the property to be used for slgnage of their golf course. DISCUSSION: Councllmember Jacobson stated he will vote in favor with the understanding that the legal opinion is the easement Is for public purposes. Attorney Hawkins though t there is some benefit under the circumstances. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight. that the Ci ty Counci I table any further action on the supplying of water to the Woodland Creek Golf Course Clubhouse off South Coon Creek Drive until some future date. Motion carried unanimously. TEST WELL Me. Davidson stated since the last discussion on the test we I I. there has been discussion of drilling a test well that would be usable. that would tie Into the public works garage and would be potable. not Just an Irrigation we]l. AI] that has increased the cost substantiallY over the $10,000 estimate given for a test wel I . So before going out for bids, he is bringing it back to the Council for direction. Regular City Council Meeting Minutes - March 21, 1989 Page 5 (Test Well, Continued) In discussions with the State Board of Health, Mr. Davidson stated an alternate to drilling a test well would be to test Andover School's sh a 1 I ow we 1 1 which is across the street. That well is about 270 to SOO feet deep. By securing the well log and testing the quality of that water, they can find out more about the quail ty of the water in that layer. The cost for the testing will be less than drll ling a test well. And if the shallower aquifer is safe and they can get 600 gallons per minute from that it, it may be more cost effect i ve to dri 11 two shal lower wel Is and a tower than one deep wel I as an alternative way of dealing with radium. Me. Davidson estimated it would cost about $S.OOO to test the school well. A test well may st i I I be needed after the results are analyzed. but It would only be $10.000 for a we II that would be sealed off once the testing has been done. Mayor El ling had a problem going with two SOO-foot wel Is for the City water system. He preferred the $S.OOO be used to put In a deep test well that Is not potable than to test the shallow well at the schoo I . The Counc i 1 and Engineers reviewed the advantages and disadvantages of a shal low water source and discussed the best course of action to take at this time. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, that the Andover City Council authorize TKDA to drill an approximately $10.000 nonpotable test wel I on City property. to test for radium and other elements In the deep aquifer level, and at the same time. authorize no more than $3,000 to test the water at the Andover School for the same water quality; and report back to the Council on the results as soon as they are available. Motion carried unanimously. RED OAKS MANOR/CROSSTOWN STORM DRAIN OUTLET Me. Rodeberg reviewed the storm trunk storm sewer areas on both sides of Crosstown Boulevard In the vicinity of South Coon Creek Drive. Forty percent of the cost for the area to the west was paid for by the county plus some MSA funds for the area applicable to South Coon Creek Drive. However, the Counc I I opted not to assess the remaining portion, and they have brought it back to the Counc i I for a final resolution. If It were assessed. It would amount to 4 cents per square foot. Mr. Rodeberg went on to review the storm sewer area east of Crosstown Boulevard which Includes Kensington Estates, the Red Oaks Pond. a portion of Red Oaks Manor and a portion south of the I andf 111 area. Regular City Council 11eeting Minutes - March 21, 1989 Page 6 (Red Oaks Manor/Crosstown Storm Drain Outlet, Continued) The pond Is I arge enough to handle a 100-year storm as long as the water gets down to its normal level between storms. They are looking at constructing an outlet for that pond now as an emergency overflow to get the water out between storms. He asked if the City wants to assess the benefitted areas the cost of approximately one cent per square foot for the outlet. Mayor EI ling reported the two 40's south of the landfill are going tax delinquent. Also, the EPA Is proposing a 200-foot strip be taken from the edge of the landf i I J for the expansion of the cap, allegedly because of methane gas. That would mean a taking of one-half of the pond plus 11 or 12 Jots from Kensington Estates 4th Addition. That proposal has not yet been acted upon and he has not been able to get any definite information from the EPA or PCA. Previously there was extensive discussion on regrading and reshaping the cap on the landfill to get the water to drain toward the creek. Mayor EI ling also stated he has written to the EPA requestillg a formal response as to what statutes they are operating from that would allow the taking of a 200-foot strip outside the landf III area. He has not yet received a response. Jerrv Wlndschitl. developer of Kensinqton Estates - didn't quarrel wi th the engineering. The pond is a large area: and In the 25 years he's been In the area, he has never seen water any place except In about 50 feet of the center. When the pond was originally done in 1975 by TKDA, it was deisnged to be a permanent pond for that area. If there Is a risk, he felt it may be easier and less expensive to berm the area where the water may get out. Me. Rodeberg stated the design Is for the area when it Is fu II y developed. The additional cost for an out I et Is fairly minimai at this time. It Is not absolutely required except for safety purposes. He didn't feel bermlng would be the answer because the lowest area of the pond is In Red Oaks Manor 4th Addition. Me. Wlndschitl - stated he has not been able to obtain any information regarding the taking of some of the lots around the landf III. No one has come forward about the proposal and no one appears to know what Is taking place. Also. there is no talk in any of the documents about a methane gas issue. None of his Jots are even close to the area, as the I andf i J J only encroaches onto the corner of an outlot on his property. He questl oned if there Is any credibiJlty to the proposal. Me. Wlndschitl went on to say that no one wil I te II him exactJy what Is taking place. He has been lead to believe that the SW 28 group has been behind this initiative. but no one 1-1111 say why. Regular City Council Mee t! ng Minutes - March 21. 1989 Page 7 (Red Oaks Manor/Crosstown Storm Drain Outlet, Continued) Counc i I discussion wi th the engineers was on the advantages of outlettlng any pond and what the best course of action Is now. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Orttel, that we table this and make a forma 1 request for their (EPA's) Intentions in writing In regard to the whole area associated with this pondlng. DISCUSSION: CounciJmember Knight clarified this is regarding the easterly portion which abuts the I andfll I . Mayor EI ling noted he has already made a written request. Councllmember Orttel felt i f the City is going to provide drainage for the landf I J J, they should have to buy their way in. Motion carried unanimously. Discussion was then on the westerly storm sewer area. Mr. Davidson noted the previous Council took the position of not assessing anything In the area from 140th south along Crosstown BouJevard. The question now Is whether to assess for the City's portion of about $70,000 of the storm sewer on the northern area or to defer that as well. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, that the Counc I I , based on policy by precedent. not assess the storm water drainage system adJacent to County State Aid Highway 18 proJect; the basis being the precedent established from 140th Avenue south In the construction area. DISCUSS ION : Me. Davidson reviewed the county policy regarding its share of the cost. On the southern portion. the County paid $52,000 and the City picked up $28,000. South of Bunker Lake BouJevard, the county paid a port! on. and the City's portion came from funding from the TIF district in the industrial park. There is a precedent of no assessments on county or State Aid streets. However. this is a unique situation. CounciJmember Jacobson felt it would be reasonable that there be no assessments as long as the City is reimbursed from another entity. If not, then there should be an assessment. Mr. Rodeberg stated the City's share of the southern portion Is not being reimbursed. Me. Schrantz stated there is more than $70,000 in the MSA fund that can be used In these cases. This Is monies that have been derived from State Aid projects but are not actual State Aid funds, so they can be used by the City for this purpose. After further discussion, several Councilmembers requested a delay to get more background on what took pJace. Councilmembers Knight and Orttel WITHDREW the Second and the Motion. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, that we table the question of the storm water easement along Crosstown Boulevard until the next regularly scheduled meeting to al low Staff to provide Council wi th the background on the issue: the county policy on reimbursements. the Resolution that exempted the area to the south of Crosstown, and any other pertinent information that may be important to this particular area In discussion. Motion carried unanimously. Regular City Council Meeting Minutes - March 21, 1989 Page 8 Counc II recessed at 9:40: reconvened at 9:50 p.m. CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER/A7-10 Me. Davidson reviewed the change order regarding the size of the pump and motor in Well pumphouse No. 3 to permit higher pressure in the system. He asked for approval of Change Order No. 2 for $2,273. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson. to so move. Motion carried unanimously. PROJECT 89-6/REBUILDING WELL NO. 1 Me. Schrantz reviewed the bids to pull Pump No. 1 and perform the required maintenance and examine the we! I to determine the need for well maintenance. Mayor E! ling was concerned about spending the money and then abandoning the wel I within six months to a year. Me. Davidson didn't think the we 11 would ever be abandoned, as it will be used as backup. He recommended maintaining it In any case. and this Is a good year before anything else Is on line. Mr. Schrantz stated the funds have been budgeted every year. Only required maintenance wi! I be done. The bid Is for the entire Job. MOTION by Jacobson. Seconded by Knight, that we award the bid to E. H. Renner and Sons in the amount of $8,177 to do well and pump maintenance on Well No. t. Motion carried unanimously. APPOINT FINANCE DIRECTOR Counc i I discussed the Staff recommendations. raising the concern that the first choice candidate does not meet the qualifications set forth In the job description because she does not have a Degree. Me. Windschitl - explained a 24-month Accounting Degree from the Academy of Accounting, which is the education of the top candidate, is equivalent to a two-year certificate program. It is not the same as a four-year degree which has more of a broad educational background. If the City is looking for someone to function at a higher 1 evel , a col lege degree would be required. If they are looking for a detailed person, an Associate Arts Degree might be more appropriate. Me. Schrantz stated the first-choice applicant came very highly recommended and meets al I the requirements except for the Degree. Counc i I was concerned about equal treatment of all appl icants. At ter further discussion, It was agreed to Interview the top five candidates recommended by Staff on March 30. Regular City Council Meeti ng Minutes - March 21, 1989 Page 9 (Appoint Finance Director, Continued) MOTION by Jacobson. Seconded by Perry, that we Interview the five Individuals listed on the Staff memo beginning at 7:S0 p.m. at the C i t y Ha 1 1 on Thursday. March 30. and give each applicant approximately 20 minutes each. Motion carried unanimously. PERSONNEL COMMITTEE REPORT Councllmember Jacobson noted an error in the recommendation from the Personnel Committee regarding d'Arcy Bosell's memorandum. Under Item 1 , the difference between the two rates Is $.81 to an hourly rate of $9.S1. Also, under Item 2, the Personnel Committee was operating under the Impression that there were no other permanent part-time employees. It has since been learned that there are four others. The Counc i I reviewed Ms. Bosel I's memo and the Personnel Committee's recommendation on the pay increase to compensate for the health insurance benefit she Is not eligible for, the waiving of the probationary period and the waiving of the sick leave period. Me. Schrantz noted the $.81 cents an hour difference Is the pro-rated benefit of health insurance. After discussing the matter, the Counc i I generally agreed the original Intent was the proposed salary would cover the health Insurance benefit when Ms. Bosell was offered the position. Since i t does not, It was felt the salary for the position should be adjusted to reflect that. It was also felt the si tuation Is not applicable to the other permanent part-time employees. Some also argued there Is no need for a probationary period In this case because there is no change in the position or duties: only an increase In the number of hours. It was also agreed the vacation and sick leave would accrue on a pro-rated basis. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Perry, that the Counc II amend its offer to the Zoning Administrator as follows: to raise the salary to $9.S1 per hour: to waive the suggested probationary period, and note there has been no material change In the position and the position has been held by the same person: and eliminate reference to the probationary period for sick leave as none would be available until It is earned. DISCUSS ION: Counc i I recommended the Personnel Pol icy be amended to reflect that permanent part-time employees working less than SO hours per week are not eligible for health insurance benefits. Councllmember Jacobson stated he did not have a problem paying the extra $.81, but felt It was Just paying for health benefits which Is not aval lable, which he didn't feel Is right. Motion carried on a 4-Yes. I-No (Jacobson) vote. Regular City Council Meeting Minutes - March 21, 1989 Page 10 LEAVE OF ABSENCE/W. PATCHEN MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Knight. that Wayne (Patchen) be granted the leave of absense. DISCUSS ION: Frank Stone, Public Works Supervisor, stated Mr. Patchen has about one month of accumu1ated sick 1eave and vacation. When that runs out, he wi II be absent without pay. Me. Patchen has agreed to pay his insurance premium on his own to maintain coverage. Motion carried unanimously. PERSONNEL COMMITTEE/FIRE MARSHAL Mayor E1 1ing reported there appears to be a problem with the hours being worked by the Fire Marsha]. He thought It was orginally set up that it must be 20 hours per week during normal work I ng hour; and if some weeks were 10nger, the hours wou1d be reduced next week to average out to 20 hours per week. Councllmember Jacobson understood the Fire Marshal Is proposing to work twofu11 days in one week and three fu II days the next. The Minutes of the Interview do not c]early ref1ect what was said about the hours of work. Dave Almgren, Building Offlcla1, reported the problem of not knowing when the Fire Marshal Is going to be available to do Inspections. He thought the intent of the program was to have the Fire Marshal aval1able every day during a portion of the day so the contractors can get their inspections done. Me. Schrantz stated he has not been able to obtain a schedule of when the Fire Marshal Is working. p1us she has missed several ARC meetings that were scheduled for times when she specifically could be there. After discussing the matter, the Counc II asked the Recording Secretary to review the tape of the interview to determine what agreement was reached at that time. A suggest I on to resolve one issue was that any inspections shou]d be done within 24 hours of the request. It was also felt that she should provide a weekly report of hours and duties performed. It was agreed to discuss the matter again at the specla1 meeting on Thursday. March SO. FEASIBILITY STUDY/PRAIRIE ROAD OVERLAY/89-S There was a short discussion on establishing a policy for overlaying streets. The Staff was asked to research what other cities do. Me. Schrantz stated the overlay for Prairie Road Is paid for by MSA funds. He proposed looking at paving the shoulders, bidding It as an alternative. Regular City Council Meeting Minutes - March 21, 1989 Page 11 (Feasibi I Ity Study/Prairie Road Overlay/89-S, Continued) MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, a ResoIution accepting feasibility study, ordering Improvement and directing preparation of plans and specifications for the Improvement project of Prairie Road Overlay, noting the Resolution should include both Alternates I and II. (See ResoJutlon R057-89) Motion carried unanimously. RECEIVE PETITION/ROUND LAKE BOULEVARD WATERMAIN Because It was a negative petition, Me. Schrantz recommended looking at Jacking a one-Inch line under Round Lake Boulevard from the 12-inch line on the east side to serve the two lots on the west that are requesting service. Then when the line is brought up the west side of the road. the copper can be pulled. He guessed It wouJd cost about $1500 to jack the J ine. Before making a decision, Counc I J asked for more specific costs for Jacking the line and the figures indicating what the I andower will pay. It was agreed to table this Item to the next meeting. STREET LIGHT BILLING Me. Schrantz reviewed the handout showing the first quarter payment and subsequent payments for lightIng In the various subdivisions. The calculations are based on estimated costs until al I the Information Is received from AEC. He assumed a cost of $450 per light. Because several of the subdivisions have had lights installed for several months to over a year, the first biJ ling Is quite high. This could place a burden on the developers holding many Jots. Discussion was on the possibility of al lowing those bil Is to be paid In two Installments; however, Interest would be charged on any amount the City would cary. Jerry Windschitl. deveJoper - stated many of the lots have been transferred over the year. and It Is going to be very difficult trying to determine how much of the bi II Is the developer's and how much is the homeowner's. He felt It wi I I be chaos and wlJI take some time to get stralghted out. He felt It would also be helpful to allow them to pay it back in several payments. MOTION by Knight. Seconded by Jacobson, that we accept the proposal here and that we biJI It aJ I out at once, allowing them to make I t in two payments, with a penalty on the portion not paid, Motion carried unanlmous]y. ReguJar City Council Meeting Minutes - March 21. 1989 Page 12 SOUTH COON CREEK WATERSHED DISCUSSION Mayor EI ling updated the Council that the proposaJ from Senator Dah]'s off I ce Is to assess Ditch 57 for the $100.000 loan from the county, which is approximateJy $3 per household based on a $98,000 house. Counc I I assumed that amount means It would be assessed district-wide, not Just the Ditch 57 area. Otherwise It would be about $50 per household. No Councl J action was required. SEWER AND WATER BUDGET Given the Jate hour. It was agreed to carry this I tern over to the specla] meeting on March 30. APPROVAL OF CLAIMS MOTION by Knight. Seconded by Jacobson, approval of Claims Check Numbers 16249 through 16326 for a total amount of $139.817.07. Motion carried unanlmousJy. MOTION by Knight. Seconded by Jacobson. to adJourn.
