bui] ding is loaded to capacity. so a separate J ine wll] need to be run

Minutes. Motion carried unanimously.
ORDINAr¡CE 62 AMENDMEI<T (HUI<TING)
Counci J generalIy agreed to redefining the prohibited hunting area
wi thin the City: however, several concerns over language in the
ordinance were discussed. The fol lowing changes were agreed to:
Section I . b. SHOTGUN - Change ". ..except when using a sing1e slug."
to ".. .including when using a single slug." It was agreed the intent
of the ordinance was not to outlaw deer hunting In the City. The
proposed change is to cJarify that hunting deer would be possible.
Section I , b. FIREARMS - There was concern over conflicting
regu J at ions in Section I I under Items a) and b) 4. Council was also
concerned about including BB guns in the definition, not wanting to be
overJy restrictive. It was felt that the more powerful BB guns are
actually classified as pel let weapons or C02 powered, which is
IncJuded In the definition. Attorney Hawkins recommended deJetlng
rifles and handguns from the definition of firearms for greater
clarity. He suggested the definition of Firearms be changed to: II far
the purpose of this ordinance this shal I mean shotguns and pel let
weapons, whether C02 or pneumatic powered." Counc I 1 agreed.
Section II. a) - It was agreed to change the word firearm to shotgun,
feel ing that is the intent of the regulation. The ordinance Is to
read: "No person shal I discharge a shotgun or bow and arrow within
500 feet of any residence. "
Section II, b) 4) - Councllmember Knight was concerned about not
al lowing bow and arrow target practice unless It Is on ten acres or
more. As a bow and arrow hunter, he knows the projectile is rarely
over 30 yards. He has never heard of anyone in the State of Minnesota
being inJured or kll led by a bow and arrow unless I t is a self-Injury.
not seeing a danger there. If a person cannot shoot a bow and arrow
for target practice on 2 1/2 acres, he felt I t Is overly restrictive.
Councilmember Orttel was also concerned about this section because
most of the recreational target shooting is of clay pigeons, and that
cannot have a backstop as required by this section.
Several Ideas were discussed such as adding "...backstop and-'or other
proper precautions..." so shooting pigeons would be allowed, or
including a phrase that would not allow the projectlJe to leave the
owner's property, or deleting the entire provision in recreational
target shooting. Another suggestion was to have separate paragraphs
for firearms and bows and arrows, with bows and arrows being alJowed
wi thin 100 feet of any residence (Section I I a) and on something less
than 10 acres of Jand (Section II b) 3) .

SectIon II b) 5) - Changed to read: "The discharge of a rifJe or
handgun utilizing a sol id projectile shal J not be al lowed within the
City of Andover."
Secti on I I d) - Changed to read: "The provisions of this ordinance
shal J not app]y to the discharge of firearms, rifles, or handguns when
done in the lawful defense of persons or property. No part of this
ordinance Is Intended to abridge the constitutional right to keep and
bear arms."
The Staff was directed to redraft the ordinance with the changes
agreed to this evening to clarify the Intent and wi th lesser
restrictions on the use of bow and arrows.
MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Orttel, that we refer this back to
Staff for fine tuning. Motion carried unanimously.
ED FIELDS LOT SPLIT
Mayor El I ing read a letter into the record from Ed Fields stating he
could not be in attendance this evening. that he would not I ike to
see Uplander Street improved at this time because of the problems with
four-wheeJers, motorized bikes, etc. . but that he had no objection to
granting an easement through there.
Chairperson Pease reviewed the findings of the Planning Commission and
suggestions made to Mr. Fields on possible ways to split the lot. Mr.
Fields has asked that his proposal be presented to the CounciI. which
is to spilt a 2.5-acre lot from a 28.61-acre parcel to give to one of
his grandchildren. The property was assessed about $3,000 for the
street improvement of Uplander. Because i t is off the end of the cui
de sac, It does not meet the required frontage by 200 feet. And
because it Is a lot sp I It. the easement is excluded from determining
area, so the proposed lot Is Jess than 2.5 acres. The PJanning
Commission found no hardship; the motion to approve the lot sp II t
fall ed.
There was a lengthy discussion on various ways the lot couJd be
divided. the advantages and drawbacks of each of them. Mr. Blake
stated Mr. FieJds has agreed to combine the southern lot which is
presently Jandlocked (No. 4 on the plat map) with his farm property.
Mayor EI ling was not so concerned about the lots at the cu] de sac as
long as there was an easement along the property lines to be abJe to
extend Uplander at a future date. CounciJmember Jacobson noted a
variance cannot be granted because there is no hardship. He was
concerned that this split would require such large variances for
frontage and area.

Minutes - May 1 , 1990

(Ed Fields Lot Split, Continued)
Councllmember Orttel argued that easement is included when
determining the area In other instances: but It is not included In
this case because it is a lot sp lit. That penalizes the property
owner In this case. To meet the frontage requirement. he thought Mr.
Fields could grant additional easement beyond the cui de sac.
MOTION by Jacobson. Seconded by Perry, that in the appl ication for a
Iot split by Ed Fields at 158 NW UpIander Street, that request be
denied for the fol lowing reasons: Pursuant to Ordinance 8, Section
5.04 and Ordinance 10, Section 16.02. hardship Is not shown; there is
more than adequate land adjacent to the parcel to provide the needed
acreage; and i t wou 1 d be landlocking an existing 2 1/2-acre parcel to
the south: it would be contrary to the ordinance requirement of 300
feet of frontage pursuant to Ordinance No. 8, Section 6.02 and
Ordinance No. 10, Section 16.02. DISCUSSION:
Councllmember Knight noted If Mr. Fields agrees to combine the
landlocked parceJ wi th his farm. that would not be an Issue.
Councllmember Ortte] stated in the past the Counc i 1 has had to make
some concessions to make things fit. It Mr. Fields would spilt Into
five acres. or if the lot had been split off as one acre ten years
ago, or I f he comes In for a building permit on the entire 28 acres,
the City could not object. He asked what is the net difference to the
City whether he does any of those things or comes In with a request
for 2 1/2 acres. He thought the fault is with the ordinance.
VOTE ON MOTION: YES-Jacobson, NO-EI ling, Kn I gh t , Ortte I, Perry
Motion fall ed.
MOTION by Knight. Seconded by Orttel, to continue this Item.
DISCUSSION: Mayor EI ling stated he would talk with Mr. FieJds
regarding options to increasing the acreage and frontage.
Councilmember Perry stated she would I ike to see Mr. FieJds provide
written agreement to combine the southern landJocked parcel to the
farm. Rea I i zing the lot would be less than the required area, she
felt it would make more sense to square-off the proposed lot to have
three lots that are simillar in size which act as a buffer between the
more dense population and the agricuJtural area, She di d not like to
change lot lines simply to achieve a certain dimension. Motion
carried unanimously.
ASSESSMENT ABATEMENT/86-19
Mr. Schrantz stated In reviewing the assessable area on RoseJla
Sonsteby's property for Project 86-19. It was determined it should be
reduced to 636,000 square feet. The other Items raised by Ms.
Sonsteby were dealt with in the 1 igi tatJon. so he did not discuss them
further with her.

(Assessment Abatement/86-19. Continued)
Mr. Davidson agreed that the assessment should be reduced by $6.000
because of an error in calculating the assessable acreage. There were
two ridge lines south of Seventh Avenue. They Initially used the line
farthest west and are now conceding the land between is wet. Attorney
Hawkins explained It Is not Ms. Sonsteby's posItion to accept or
reject the reduced assessment. If the Counc II feels there was an
error, a supplemental hearing pursuant to the Statute should be heId
to correct the ro II . A mailed notice must be given as was done for
the original assessment.
Council noted the 429 procedure with notification must be gone through
since Ms. Sonsteby disagrees with the amount of the reduction.
Attorney Hawkins also advised If Ms. Sonsteby Is dlssatlsf led. she has
the right to appeaI the determination of the lower assessment only;
those Issues already litigated cannot be reopened. The court has
already determined that this Is a vaJid assessment.
MOTION by Knight. Seconded by Jacobson, that we set the hearing for
the first meeting In June (June 5, 1990) (See Resolution R051-90)
Motion carried unanimously.
APPROVE QUOTES: ALTITUDE VALVE/WATER SYSTEM
Mr. Davdlson stated they are asking for approval to go out for quotes
for an altitude valve for the water system. This would al low the
water system to be operated at a higher pressure off the new tower.
then phase In Tower #1 for Iower pressure periods and for fire and
sprinkling demands.
MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Orttel, to so move. Motion carried
unanimously.
APPROVE GRADING. RELEASE ESCROW/RED OAKS 6TH
Mr. Haas stated three of the manhoIe covers have been covered with
dirt along Bunker Lake BouIevard. Mr. Davidson stated the Staff has
asked the developer to put a two-foot section in the manhole to raise
it up. Mayor EI ling asked to table the Item until I t is resolved.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to continue this to the
next meeting. Motion carried unanimously.
RECEIVE FEASIBILITY REPORT/90-6
Mr. Schrantz expJained there Is a petition to serve the Haluptzok
property only. The water and sewer I Ines have the capacity to serve
Haluptzok's lot plus three other existing lots belonging to Batson.

(Receive Feasibility Report/90-6, Continued)
He recommended ordering the hearing for al I four parcels recognizing
the Counc II has the authority to reduce the size of the project at the
hearing. Mr. Davidson reviewed the ultimate service area aIong
Bunker Lake Boulevard for this proposed line. In theory, there wouJd
be two developable Jots east and two west of the crossing.
Counc I I was concerned about the assessments not covering the expenses.
Mr. Schrantz noted the cost of taking the line across the road comes
from the Trunk, Source, and Storage fund. Mr. Davidson noted that
u I tI ma tel y the City's share for the entire system would be $12,700.
It is also possible to extend the line further south to serve some
interior development. Counc II agreed that the public hearing should
be ca II ed to include the four lots that would potentially be served by
the crossing.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, based upon the Engineer's
feaslblIity report on Project 90-6 that the the appropriate pubJic
hearing notices be posted and the pUblic hearing be heJd as soon as
possible, with the notation that we specifically make sure that Mr.
Haluptzok and Mr. Batson are both notified as to the hearing so that
they can both be here: also approve the feasibility report. (Hearing
to be held May 15, 1990) (See Resolution R052-90) Motion carried
unanimously.
NORTHWEST STEEL FABRICATORS PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Mr. Blake called attention to a purchase agreement from Northwest
Steel Fabricators, Inc. , to purchase Lots 2 and 3 of Block 3 In the
Commercial Park. The firm, presently located In Ramsey, has 17
empJoyees and Is looking to expand to 35. They are also asking that
the City cover and pipe the drainage ditch between the two lots so
they can both be used for buiJding, parking lot and storage. Mr.
Blake estimated that cost to be $14,000. He also noted the offer
amounts to 50.1 cents/square foot, which is less than the 65 cents the
City has been requesting. He asked for direction from the Council.
After discussion, Counc I I agreed to authorize the Attorney and Mr.
Blake to negotiate with the firm. Also, this should be brought before
the Economic Development Committee, and the firm should submit
sketches of the proposed project.
MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson, that we refer this to the
Economic Development Committee. Motion carried unanimously. It was
agreed the item should be placed on the May 15 Agenda to consider the
EDC's recommendations.

SAC REBATES. CONTINUED
Kevin Fish. 835 146th Lane NW - asked If they wi I I be paid interest
on the SAC rebates. He thought the City had deposited those charges
in the bank and that the residents are entitled to that interest on
their money as welJ. Counc I I reviewed the City's position of not
forwarding SAC charges to the MWCC co I lected from areas that either
would not be served for many years or would never be served by
sanitary sewer. But because those charges collected were never put in
a separate fund, there Is no way to determine how much interest was
made: and any Interest made was pooJed and used in the General Fund.
Mr. Koolick explained the City started withholding the payment of SAC
charges to the MWCC In 1977. From all he could find out, prior to
that time those charges were forwarded to MWCC: however, MWCC feels
they do not have them. He felt the only way this Issue wi II be
resoIved is to have an audit done. which will take time. He wi J I
pursue that further. Another problem is the time period in which to
receive refunds from the MWCC has expired. so it may be difficult for
the City to recover the money forwarded from 1973 to 1977.
Mr. Fish - asked when sewer would be avaiJable to his property.
Counc i I stated there are no plans for sanitary sewer in his area.
They also expJained he has the option of Jetting the City keep the SAC
charge he paid In, so when sewer does become available, the City would
pay MWCC. The amount paid then would be more than what Mr. Fish paid
because the charge is adjusted every year.
Mr. KooIlck stated the checks to be approved this evening are refunds
paid after 1977 . The City does not have enough funds to cover those
charges from 1973 to 1977 that were forwarded to the MWCC.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, that we authorize the
payment of SAC refund based upon the financial report shown on 5-1-90
in the amount of $35,375. Motion carried unanImously.
Mr. Kool ick asked for direction regarding those property owners who
did not respond as to whether or not they want the refund. Council
directed Mr. KooJ ick to send a second notice with a deadline. and also
to write to those involved in the 1973 to 1977 time frame that the
matter Is st 111 being Investigated.
LEGISLATIVE CHANGES/LGA
Mr. KooJich noted the changes made by the State Legislature wiJ I
reduce this year's revenue to the City by approximateIy $22,000. He
reviewed several options to balancing the budget.
Counc i 1 agreed to do nothing at this time, and to analyze it again
cJoser to the end of the year.

Counc i I recessed at 9:42: reconvened at 9:50.
PARK DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS
Park and Recreation Commission Chairman Jeff Kieffer stated they are
recommending no change to the park dedication requirements. He also
reviewed the May 1 . 1990, memo from Mr. Haas regarding the park
dedication paid since the ordinance has been in effect, noting it
varies considerably depending on where the property is located.
Counc I I noted the concern is on the smal 1 lot splits where the owner
actually pays more than 10 percent in park fees because of the cost of
hiring an appraiser. DIscussion with those present was on the
procedure being used now and pros and cons of using other procedures.
Staff also pointed out that some farmers off Round Lake Boulevard are
in the process of rearranging property lines, some of the property
being In Ag Preserve: and the ordinance requires park dedication to be
collected on It. Council questioned if park dedication shouJd be
taken at this time because there wi J I be no increased use of the land
and no houses will be bu i 1 t . Attorney Hawkins advised the ordinance
Is clear that park dedication must be taken: however, the City can
change the ordinance with a provision regarding splits and rearranging
of property lines of non-buiJdable property. Councilmember Orttel
argued the ordinance should be changed, that park dedication should
not be taken for land used for agriculture.
Mayor El ling suggested the Park Board be directed to look Into that
matter and come back with a recommendation at the next meeting. He
also suggested the Park Board look at not collecting fees on lot
splits and metes and bounds splits of over ten acres.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to so move. Motion carried
unanimously.
PARK USER FEE
MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Orttel, that all Park User Fees be
returned to the Park Budget. DISCUSSION: Me. Koolick summarized the
mot i on to be the Park User Fees be placed In Playing Field Maintenance

of the fieJds. Motion carried unanimously.

MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Perry. that the Counc i I authorize the
Park Commission to expend the funds from their park dedication fees
for the resurfacing, resealing. and repair of the CI ty Hall tennis
court not to exceed $3,750. Motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Stone explained the Gopher State One Call Is takIng a lot of time.

now been paid. The only outstanding assessments are for Bent Creek
Estates. noting the development contract calJs for the assessments to
be paid in fu II the next year less whatever Is escrowed. He asked for
Counc i I direction.
Councilmember Orttel noted I f the assessments are certified now, they
do not have to be paid for four years. He was concerned over that
requirement in the development contract, noting they have greater
f I ex i b I lit Y if the rol I is certified directly to the County than i f
the City retains it.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, a Resolution as prepared with
the following addition: that this be certified ten days from now.
that this would give the developer additional time to come in and pay
his assessments. It they are not paid within ten days. this would be
certified with the county. It, within ten days, they are not paid,
that the City would not issue any further building permits on those
lots untIl the individuaJ assessments have been paid. DISCUSS ION:

there may have been some misunderstanding of the procedure.
