ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304 . (612) 755-5100 . ¡ - REGULAR CITI COUNCIL MEETING - AUGUST 7, 1990 MINUTES The Regular Bi-Month]y Meeting of the Andover City Counci] was cal]ed to order by Acting Mayor Mike Knight on August 7, 1990, 7:30 p.m., at at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota. Councilmembers present: Jacobson, Orttel, Perry Councilmember absent: Mayor Ell ing Also present: City Attorney, William G. Hawkins: Assistant City Engineer. Todd Haas; City ZonIng AdmInIstrator, d'Arcy Bosel]: City Finance Director, Ho]ward Koolick; City AdmInistrator, James Schrantz: others AGENDA APPROVAL MOTION by Jacobson. Seconded by Perry, the Agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC INFORMATIONAL HEARING/BOUNDARY COMMISSION Attorney Hawkins gave the background information ]eadlng up to tonight's hearing, noting the State Legis]ature has just passed legislation to allow the City to establish a Boundary Commission to review metes and bounds descriptions and resolve boundarieS between adjoining properties. He also noted the incorrect legal descriptions In Auditor's Subdivision 82 because of a survey error in that area. The Boundary CommIssion would attempt to obtain agreements between adjoining landowners as to the location of common boundaries. If agreements cannot be reached, they would prepare a plan for final resolution of the problem, and the District Court would be petitioned for approval of the plan. Mr. Hawkins went on to say there are about 90 lots that wou]d be affected in Auditor's Sub 82, though they do not yet know If the seven lots abutting Round Lake are affected. He estimated the cost to correct the legal descriptions would be about $500 per parcel. Prior to this legis]ation, such errors were corrected through a torrens procedure which cost between $2,500 and $3,500 per parcel. He knew of six properties that have gone through the torrens procedure. Those lots would not be a part of this procedure since they no longer have a problem. Steve Libor. 14279 Underc] 1ft - asked who survyed the area in the first place and why aren't they responsible for correcting the error. Attorney Hawkins understood the person who survyed the area Is retired and there is no way to recover the costs. Regular City Council Meeting August 7. 1990 - Minutes Page 2 (Publ ic Informational Hearing/Boundary Commission> Mr. Llbor - stated his nelghbo~'s property comes two feet onto his property. He'd prefer to have the description match what he uses as his lot. Mr. Hawkins stated the proposal is to adjust the legal descriptions to what everyone considers his property to be now. No fences, shrubs, etc., would be moved; the legals would be changed to match what's out there now. Mike Vevea. 14328 Undercllft - stated the neighbors on both sides have fences that have been up for seven Years. He aSked if the common law actually changes the p~operty line. He also wondered if all the lots are off by two feet. Attorney Hawkins explained the reverse possession statutes, noting it is for 15 years and must still be determined by the court. He wasn't sure how much of an error there Is In the legal descriptions. Mr. Libor - stated his neighbor had his property torrens and changed the stakes two feet. Attorney Hawkins stated this actIon would not change those properties that have already been torrens. Steve Wood. 3723 145th Avenue - thought the lake lot boundaries are also affected. and one lot was judlcated in court some years ago. He explained he attempted to get the problem resolved ten years ago when sewer and water were being put into the area but found it to be ast~onomically expensive and received no help from the City nor the county. He found that the er~or is up to nine feet north and south and up to four feet east and west, but he was unable to get anything done at that time. Now the tItle companies are aware of the problem. which means It must be corrected before the property can be sold. He felt it is In everyone's best interest to get this corrected once and for all, also feelIng this Is the least cost alternative. Bill LeFebvre. 14278 Underclift - stated the lot lines are really off at the end and were off sIx to eIght feet In the Wandersee Addition. He thought that to correct it wi II mean a jog between subdivisions If the lot lines are not st~alghtened. He asked about the cost. Attorney Hawkins stated until the survey work is done, it It not known what Is out there. Mr. Schrantz stated allowances were made for the error when Rosella's Addition was done. Mr. Hawk I ns again estImated the cost of $500/lot assuming 90 lots are affected. Those involved would get a new legal description of their lot, and it will save the people from havIng to torrens their p~operty In the future. This is not a torrens action but a procedure under new legislatIon to resolve such problems. Mr. Libor - asked when the people vote on this. Attorney Hawkins stated that would be done at the pUblic hearing. The CouncIl makes the determination to proceed; however, the polIcy has been to go wIth the maJorI ty of the people. If they go ahead with the recommendation, it wi II be Judicially approved. This Is Just an informational hearing to determine if a Boundary CommIssion should be established. Regular City Council Meeting August 7, 1990 - Minutes Page 3 (Public Informational Hearing/Boundary Commission) Michael Harris. 14278 Vintaae - asked how long It will take from start to finish and how does this affect those contemplating selling their homes. Attorney Hawkins thought it would take 12 to 18 months to complete the process. The property would not be any less marketable with this procedure in process. Often the lending companies require an escrow to cover the costs involved. Mr. Harris - has already completed the survey and have quit claim deeds prepared because the people behind him have torrens their property. The legal description is being changed to what is out there. He asked If that will be taken into consideration. Attorney Hawkins thought he should continue with the process he has already started and record the documents. Then there would be no reason to Include him in this process. Dave Stanton. 3648 143rd - asked If it would cost the same for everyone except those who have already corrected their descriptions. Attorney Hawkins stated those who have already corrected their descriptions would receive no benefit from this procedure and would not be included in it. All the other lots would be assessed on a unit basis, so it doesn't make any difference what size lot they have. Mr. Llbor - asked if the boundaries could change once they are already done. Attorney Hawkins stated no. The lots will have to tie Into the existing lines of those lots already torrens. ClYde Bade. 14406 Vlntaae - noted his property abuts one that Is already done. He is not sure of the description, did not sign anything and was not made aware of what was being done. John Zlllhardt. 3750 145th Avenue - said It may be a good idea but thought it Is difficult to find $500. He thought other options should be explored first such as contacting the title companies. Everyone In the subdivision is happy with their corners; It is only a problem with the legal descriptions. He moved there 11 years ago and a one-foot error by the power line was determined. He questioned what value they are getting for their $500. Attorney Hawkins stated the title companies are saYing the legal descriptions do not match the lot lines, so mortgage companies won't provide money on these homes any more. If this is going to be done, it needs to be done for everyone involved. Mr. Stanton - asked if the cost could be spread out over a number of years. Attorney Hawkins stated it is up to the City Council. Assessments can go for as long as 30 years; however. normally this amou n t is spread over five or ten years with interest. If a parce I is sold before the process is completed, normally 1 1/2 times the cost is escrowed. Regular City Council Meeting August 7, 1990 - Minutes Page 4 (Public Informational Hearing/Boundary Commission) Mr. Zillhardt - stated the cost for correcting the legal desc.iptlon would only be incurred if the property is mortgaged and title insurance is required. If he sold It and financed It himself, then the cost would not have to be incurred. Ken Hell. Andover Boulevard - is not involved In this p.ocess but felt that the City has some responsibility since they accepted the plat. Atto.ney Hawkins stated it was a metes and bounds subdivision; It was not accepted by the City. When utiltles were put In ten years ago, the City knew there was a problem but used what was there. It Is a p~oblem fo~ the landowne.s. not the City. The City now has a p.ocess to help co.rect It. Mr. Wood - explained he wanted to have some survey work done when he first moved there, which usually is not very costly. However, he was quoted a cost of $2,000 because all of the registered surveyors In the county do not want to touch this area because they know of the problem. Mr. Bade - asked if the properties already surveyed will change. Attorney Hawkins again noted those six properties that have already been torrens will not change and will not be Involved in this process. Mr. Libor - noted there is a fence along the lot lines. Attorney Hawkins noted the idea is that everyone would retain their Improvements. The legal descriptions would be corrected to reflect their ownership of those improvements. He again noted the procedure of appointing a Boundary Commission and the steps they would take to remedy the problem. John Johanson. 14349 Xenia - asked if the lake lots are not affected, would they have to pay for the survey to determine that they are not involved. Attorney Hawkins stated it will be determined whether or not the lake lots are affected before the survey is done. He Suggested a Boundary Commission be made up of three to five people who are familiar with real estate and a Staff person. Council asked those present how many were not interested in going ahead with this procedure. Only one resident raised his hand. MOTION by Orttel. Seconded by Jacobson, to direct the Staff to prepare a Resolution forming a Boundary Commission under the 1990 Statute Number 386 for the purpose of resolving boundary disputs in the City of Andover. DISCUSSION: Discussion noted the length of the assessment will be determined at the time of the assessment hearing. It was also agreed the Council would designate the members of the Commission from Staff. the neighborhood, and real estate experts. The Staff was asked to come back with the paperwork--the Resolution, a recommendation for the number of Commissioners, and suggestions for finding recruits--for the next meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Regular City Council Meeting August 7, 1990 - Minutes Page 5 CREEKRDIGE ESTATES SIDEWALK DISCUSSION Mr. Haas reviewed the background for the proposed sidewalk along South Coon Creek Drive. He also reviewed the results of the survey taken of the neighborhood noting a majority approve of developing the park and intend to use it. Also, 40 people approved of the construction of the sidewalk, 25 of them wanting it to be on the north side of South Coon Creek Drive. Twenty six of the 72 lots in Creekrldge Estates did not respond to the survey. Mr. Haas also reviewed three options for the placement of the sidewalk: 1) one foot off the property line on the south side of South Coon Creek Drive: 2) part on the north and part on the south side of the street, one foot off the property line on both sides, with a crossing at Jonquil Street; and 3) one foot off the property line al I on the north side of South Coon Creek Drive. The last one requires the removal of quite a few trees and there would be a problem with crossing the street because of the site distance to the bridge and the curve. Mr. Haas also reviewed the location of the utilities on the south side of the road, explaining why the sidewalk would need to be placed one foot from the property line. Garv Thalin - had a lot of problems with the proposal, especially with placing the sidewalk 15 feet off the street in front of someone's house. Also, the sidewalk is only 700 feet long and doesn't go anywhere. If it is to be done, he felt It should be done right and go all the way from Round Lake Boulevard to the bridge. There are no provisions for any stop signs, which Is an additional cost. Also, the trees on the north side will be coming down anyway because they are oaks and are or will be dying or to improve the line or site off Jonquil. Also, the park may not go in the way it is wanted, stating he wrote to the Corps of Engineers that he does not want any more wetland disturbed. He is opposed to the children playing In a swamp. He again stated he felt the problems are not being addressed. He would have no objection if the park went in on the north side and the sidewalk went in on the north side and closer to the street. He also disagreed with the argument of needing room for snow plowing. since sidewalks are placed 3 feet from the road In other cities and there are no problems. He also felt South Coon Creek Drive will be widened by the county eyentually since it is in a straight line wi th County Road 16 to line up with the new bridge over the Rum River to the west. Counc i I noted South Coon Creek Drive is a City MSA road, not a county road. It does not line up with the new bridge and there are no plans for additional work on this road. Mr. Haas stated he has responded to the Army Corps of Engineers. If they are not able to use the lowland, the park will be built on the high area. There Just Is no other property In the area for the park; the present property was paid for by the residents of that development for their park. Regular City Council Meeting August 7. 1990 - Minutes Page 6 <Creekridge Estates Sidewalk Discussion, Continued) Tom Crlx. 3396 South Coon Creek Drive - didn't think they are opposed to It but to where it is to be located on the south side. He questioned the size of the utilities that need 10 feet from the curb. Mr. Schrantz explained the pockets available to each of the utilities to bury their cable. LuAnn Maxim. 14391 JonClu il - asked how far the trees are from the road on the north side and are there utilities on that side. Mr. Schrantz stated the sidewalk would be one foot from the property line on the north sIde. There are no utIlitIes on the north sIde. Ms. Maxim - asked If there Is any way to place It closer to the road on the north side. Mr. Thalln - asked the cost difference between the north and south side of the road. Councllmember Orttel stated cost Is not his concern; It Is the safety of the children. Mr. Thalln - stated most of the people on the other side want the sidewalk on their side. And on the east side of Jonquil the trees will be coming down anyway because of the site problem. Mr. Schrantz felt they may all die from oak wilt within three to five years Jerry Schml t. 14073 JonClu II - measured his trees and found them to be 15 to 17 feet off the curb line. He didn't think it would be a big issue putting it on the north side. Mr. Haas noted even if the trees are not removed, the construction would dlsburb the root system. Counc il asked if there is a problem with reducing the width of the sidewalk from five to four feet. Mr. Haas stated It Is a problem for plowing it In the winter. One resident saId In Minneapolis the citIzens are responsible for takIng care of the snow on the sidewalks. Other points brought up by the Council were the best option may be Option 2, part of It on the north side, as close to the road as is possible and is safe; a crossIng at Jonquil, possibly with stop signs for safety; and continuing on the south side of South Coon Creek Drive. The disadvantage of putting the sidewalk all on either the north or south side is that two crossings would be needed, one on each side. And the lIne of sIte Is a problem on the east end If It Is all on the north side. PedestrIan crosswalk lights were mentioned, but Staff noted the cost, plus the road does not meet warrants. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, for OptIon 2 with the addtiion of the approprIate stop sign at the Intersection of Jonquil and South Coon Creek Drive. Motion carrIed unanimously. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, the ResolutIon approvIng final plans and specifIcatIons and orderIng advertIsement for bids for Project No. 90-13, Creekridge Estates sidewalk, as presented to the Council. <See Resolution Rl02-90) MotIon carried on a 4-yes. i-Absent <Elling) vote. Regular City Council Meeting August 7, 1990 - Minutes Page 7 KEN HEIL SKETCH PLAN Mr. Haas reviewed the Andover Review Committee's comments on the Ken Hell sketch plan for single family lots adjoining Hartfiel's Estates. A petition Is being circulated in Hartfiel's Estates for sewer. water. and streets. and Mr. Hell is planning to have this preliminary plat be a part of that project. If the project for Hartfiel's does not go through. Mr. Heil will not continue with this plat. Council gave conceptual approval to the proposed sketch plan. ORDINANCE 8.

SPEEDY MARKET SPECIAL USE PERMIT DISCUSSION Councilmember Jacobson had understood the Attorney's opinion was the ordlnace did not allow Speedy Market to sell coke and hotdogs outdoors without a Special Use Permit, yet they ~ecelved a permit from the CIty Hall to do so. He recommended the P & Z look at the p~ocedures and requirements of OrdInance 8 and the Transient Ordinance. Attorney Hawkins stated after reviewing the T~anslent OrdInance, he felt the permit could be issued to Coca Cola. At the meeting, he didn't know that Coca Cola would be the one doing the outdoor sales. Councilmember Jacobson noted the Transient Ordinance allows permits for up to six months. He had a problem with the requirements of the two ordinances, again requesting that they be looked at. Councilmember O~ttel felt that such permits for temporary outdoor sales should be taken out of the SpecIal Use section and be handled by Staff . MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, that It be referred to the P & Z to look at the two ordInances to have them make a recommendation. Motion carried unanimously.
