Motion carried unanimously.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
May 1 , 1990 - Correct as written.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, approval of the Counc II
Minutes for May 1 , 1990, as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING/IP90-6
Counc i I discussed whether or not they had a legal petition. Mr.
Schrantz Indicated the petition was signed only by Mr. Haluptzok and
represents more than 50 percent of Phase I of the project. It Is not
a majority petition if the entire project is ordered at this time.
Attorney Hawkins advised the petition only changes the vote from 3/5
to 4/5 vote to order the project.
Mr. Davidson reviewed the proposed project to bring sewer and water
lines across Bunker Lake Boulevard to serve the developable properties
on the south side. They plan to bore casing from the south side
across Bunker Lake Boulevard into the manhole and put an inside drop
Into the sewer line. Because the sewer line is 22 feet deep at that
point. this method wi¡ 1 eliminate the expense of having to go that
deep for this project. A separate casing for the watermain wi I 1 be
augered to service the properties to the west. The Jines also have
the potential of serving the property to the south between this area
and the proposed Commercial Boulevard.

(Public Hearlng/IP90-6, Continued)
Mr. Davidson also explained that because of the wetlands to the west.
It wi II be less costly to run another ilne across Bunker Lake
Bouievard to serve the Tonson property than to include it In this
proj ect. He aiso noted that this proposal potentialiy serves four
lots and is more economical than to just serve the Haluptzok property.
Mr. Schrantz reported Mr. Haluptzok Is aware of the cost estimates and
st III wants the utiJities, but he Is not able to attend tonight's
hearing. Mr. Batson has not responded to the hearing notices and is
not in attendance this evening.
Mr. Davidson then reviewed the estimated costs for Phases I and II of
the proj ect. noting after Phase I is compJeted with no assessment to
Mr. Batson, the City would be carrying a balance of $33,000. When
Phase II Is completed, the net City's share will be about $13.000.
Phase II is to serve the property east of the line. which has the
equivalent of two lots.
Counci I member Jacobson wasn't comfortable with the large cost the City
wouid have to carry nor with acting on this without hearing from Mr.
Haluptzok and Mr. Batson. He also questioned the validIty of the
petition. Councilmember Orttel noted the petition is about 60 percent
to do Phase I ; but he was concerned about the health issue of the
rentaJ dweillng on one lot not having sanitary sewer and water,
especiaJly in I ight of the hazardous wastes found in that area. He
also felt I t is a heal th issue that the one junkyard business does not
have any facilIties at alJ. He thought the Ci ty may be in a position
to order the improvement based on a hea]th issue. Orttel noted the
City would not be encumbering pUblic funds. because the City's share
would come from the trunk, source, and storage fund specially set up
for Instances such at this.
Mr. Davidson also stated the property owners wii I be asked to dedicate
the balance of the right-of-way needed along Bunker Lake BouJevard. No
costs have been determined, anticipating the easement would be
dedicated at the time of the improvement.
After further discussion, It was agreed to table the Item until there
is a full Counc I ] and to allow for imput from the affected property
owners. Mr. Davidson was also asked to determine a cost for right-of-
way. Mayor EJling asked for a motion to continue the public hearing.
MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson, to so move. Motion carried
unanimousJy.
Mayor EI ling asked for a motion to continue the hearing to the next
regular meeting. June 5.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight. to so move. Motion carried
unanimously. 8:26 p.m.

ORDINANCE 62 AMENDMENT - HUNTING
MOTION by Knight. Seconded by Orttel, the Ordinance amending
Ordinance No. 62, regulating the discharge of firearms and bow and
arrows within the City of Andover. as presented. Motion carried
unanimously.
ED FIELDS LOT SPLIT. CONTI NUED
Mr. Blake reported Mr. Fields came into the office and presented a
redescrlbed parceJ that has included an additional 33 feet on the
eastern edge of the property so it would be 2.5 acres in size. He
also included a description for a 33-foot easement on the western edge
of this lot and 33 feet on the eastern edge of the adjacent lot, for a
totaJ easement width of 66 feet for the future extension of Uplander.
A variance on lot frontage would stil I be needed, because the lot has
only 17 feet of frontage on the cui de sac. Mr. Fields has also agreed
to combine the southerly lot with his farm property. Mr. Hawkins saw
no probl em wi th the proposa I .
CounciJmember Jacobson felt that increasing the size to 2.5 acres
takes away some of his objections, but he was stil 1 bothered wi th the
huge variance from the required 300 feet to 17 feet of frontage,
especiallY since It could easily be sp]it Into a five-acre parcel
without coming before the Counc i I . Mr. Schrantz stated the lot will
have 337 feet of frontage on the unbuilt road.
CounciJmember OrtteJ believed one intent of the platting ordinance Is
to control density and space between homes. He feJt that Including
the street easement and increasing the lot size meets that Intent. He
thought It would not be detrimental to the City to allow the variance
since it would be al lowed under a metes and bounds split anyway.
MOTION by OrtteJ. Seconded by Knight, di recti ng Staff to prepare a
resolution approving the Lot Sp]lt with the fol10wing conditions:
that the property size be increased so that net of the street there Is
a 2 1/2-acre ] ot ¡ that the parcel south of Lot 3 be recombined with
the AgrlculturaJ Preserve property that Is owned by the same
individual In the area: and that the street right of way for Lots 3
and the proposed new lot. on the west side of the easterly parcel and
the east side of the westerJy parcel, be dedicated for permanent road
purposes at the time the split is approved. The Issue of park fees
should be Included as we]1 as a note that at such time as the road is
constructed that the adjacent property owners wllJ pay for the road:
and note that a variance wouJd be required for frontage and that the
hardship would be based on the fact that the adjacent street and cui
de sac were built to the property within the last 12 months. Motion
carried on a 3-Yes. l-No (Jacobson) i-Absent (Perry) vote.
Counci Imember Jacobson again stated he felt going from 300 to 17 feet
of frontage Is too much of a variance: and he didn't see the hardship.
Mayor EI ling noted the probJem disappears when Uplander is extended.

SPECIAL USE PERMIT/JEFF'S OUTDOOR FURNITURE
Chairperson Pease reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to
approve a Special Use Permit for Jeff's Outdoor Furniture for retail
sales in a leased building at 13650 Hanson Boulevard. Al I the
provisions stipulated by the Planning Commission have been met except
the removal of the waste and other material in the bui Iding.
Mr. Blake reported the owner had agreed to have the place cleaned up
by Apri 1 30: however, that deadJ!ne has not been met. He estimated a
cost of about $10,000 to remove the debris and hazardous fence. The
owners have been notified that the matter has been referred to the
City Attorney. He expected that through legal action that area wil]
get cleaned up. Attorney Hawkins aJso felt it wi I 1 get cleaned up; It
is a matter of what procedure will be the quickest.
After some discussion. Counc I I did not feel It was proper to hold up
this business because of the behavior of the property owner.
Councllmember Jacobson was concerned about allowing the outdoor
display after business hours, thinking it looked a 1 it tie shabby.
Chairperson Pease stated the P & Z talked about that but fe1t that It
was his option. The pieces left out are fairly large. Counc II member
Knight thought that it it had to be moved Indoors. it would take two
grown men to cJose up the business every day because the furniture Is
heavy. Mr. Blake noted the ordinance does not limit outdoor displays
to the hours of operation only.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight. the Andover City Council
approve a Special Use Permit for Jeff's Outdoor Furniture to allow
retail sales in an Industrial District and outdoor display and sales
on the property described as: lot 1 . Block 1 , Pankonin Addition,
Anoka County Minnesota. with the following conditions: that retai I
sales shall be I iml ted to items associated wi~h or constructed on
site: ourdoor display shal I be conducted at least 20 feet from the
property line: the Special Use Permi t shall be subject to an annual
review and shal J be declared nul I and void if significant progress is
not made within one year of approval of this permit: and delete Item 5
on the prepared Resolution. (See ResoJution R061-90) Motion carried
unanimously.
SPECIAL USE PERMIT/HOKANSON DEVELOPMENT PUD
Chairperson Pease reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to
deny the Special Use Permit request for a Planned Unit Development
on 40 acres at 17361 University Avenue. Mr. Blake explained when a
representative from Hokanson Development approached the Staff severa]
months ago. he Informed them that deveJoplng the property under a PUD
would allow them flexibility to cluster homes Into sma I ler areas and
protect the wetland area under common ownership. But he also
erroneously told them that they would be allowed to increase the
density under a PUD.

Page 5
(Special Use Permit/Hokanson Development PUD, Continued)
Mr. Blake went on to explain when the developer redrew the plan, It
was simillar to what is before the Council. The Staff feels the
proposal is not a PUD In the true sense in that they are not using it
to protect the unique features in the plat. The overa 11 density of
their proposal is one per 2.35 acres. The City's minimum requirement
is one per 2.5 acres, and the Staff Is recommendIng that be preserved.
Mayor EI ling was concerned about the proposed structures on the
island off Butternut Street, wondering if they would meet the
39.000 square-foot requirement for the septic system. Mr. Blake
stated the Staff had the same conce.n and Is suggesting the homes be
pJaced cJoser to the road and not on the Island.
Kirk Carson. representlncr Hokanson Development. Inc. - stated they
have talked to the DNR and to the Corps of Engineers. Using the
topographic maps from the City and information from the DNR, they
determined the approximate location of the DNR wetlands. In
conjunction with the county's soils map, they found that the marginal
soi Is between the island and the street can be corrected by permit
from the Corps of Engineers; so there would be no island remaining.
Mr. Carson pointed out the tax exempt property which will be necessary
to connect Butternut to 173rd Avenue. They would prefer to have the
City condemn the property to move the process along, rather than
Hokanson purchasing the property. Mr. Blake stated the easement for
University Avenue exists only on the Andover side. It did not appear
reasonable to bring University all the way up because of the wetlands.
Mr. Carson stated their original plan was to extend 173rd Lane to the
property line for future connection to University, but they were told
I t wou I d be too long for a cu] de sac. CounciImember Orttel felt it
should go all the way through. as it would be a temporary turnaround
if the road goes to the property line.
Council discussion was on the difference between the proposed PUD and
a substandard plat. Mr. BJake stated a PUD would al low flexibi]lty in
lot size and frontages, etc. , to accommodate and protect the natura]
features of the J and. but I t does not increase the density.
Councilmember Orttel noted PUDs have never been alJowed In the rural
area. In other rural plats, the wetlands have not been counted toward
the number of buildable lots. Under the normal pJattlng process, one
could not get more than 13 lots on 40 acres that Is al J bu i I dab Ie: yet
this proposal is for 16 lots on 40 acres with wetlands. He felt if
this Is allowed, a] 1 future rural developments would simply circumvent
the platting requirements because a PUD does not have to meet the
minimum requirements and density increases immensely. This was not the
Council's intent when the PUD provision was put in the ordinance, as
there never was any variation from the 2.5-acre lot size In the rural
area except in very unusual circumstances.

Page 6
(Speclal Use Permit/Hokanson Development PUD. Continued)
Mr. Carson stated they were told by Staff not to leave the wetlands in
common ownership. Mr. Blake explained Staff felt the original PUD did
not meet the Intent of the ordinance after it was discovered the
density could not increase. Hokanson was asked to submit a revised
drawing. and a sketch came back slmlJlar to what Is before the Council
where the outlot area was platted.
After future discussion. the Counc i I generally agreed that the intent
in the past has been the provision of a PUD was for the urban R-4
areas only: and clustering, etc., would not be allowed In the rural
area. The interpretation of the ordinance of "urban development" has
always meant in the urban a~ea only. One of the ~easons for not usIng
the PUD in the rural area was for sewer and water. Andover has
exc I uded a J J wetland when determining density. The Counc i J a]so
generally did not feel that wetlands on the property constituted a
unique feature that would warrant consideration of a PUD development.
Mr. Carson stated they worked with the ordinances and the Staff
thinking they would get 18 lots on the property. They are willing to
plat It, though it wi 11 be a difficulty for them to drop down to 7 or
8 lots. He suggested the possibility of a refund on the SpeciaJ Use
Pe rm I t fee and then pJat the property.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight. that since the consensus of
the Counc I J Is to deny this Special Use Permit for the PUD and to
di rect Staff to prepare an amended Resolution for the next meeting
out I Ining the points in the Resolution we have before us plus the
addi tlonaJ ones that were not addressed and bring it back for our
action at the next meeting: and the fee be refunded. DISCUSSION:
Councilmember Knight noted an additional point would be that PUDs are
not allowed In the rural area. Councllmember Orttel felt the reasons
listed should be either on the merits of the ordinance or that it was
never aJlowed and the money should be refunded. They are two separate
items, and he feJt they shouJd not be used together. Attorney
Hawkins had no problem I isting both that i t is the City's
interpretation that PUDs are not allowed in the rural areas and also
that it does not meet the criteria even if i t was a 1 lowed. Motion
carried on a 3-YES. i-PRESENT (Ortte]). l-ABSENT (Perry) vote.
Counc i ] generally felt it would be to Mr. Hokanson's advantage to
acquire the tax-forfeit properties, as it would be quite costly to
have the City obtain it. A resident asked if another landowner could
buy that property. Counc i ] stated the City has bid to acquire the one
piece for street purposes. The City would have the right to condemn
the property for the street if necessary.
Dave Haupert - was concerned about the PUD concept. seeing It as an
oppo~tunlty to~ developers to circumvent the codes of Andover and
bui Jd in an area where harm Is being done. He encouraged the CounciJ
to amend the PUD provision so something like this does not happen.

May 15, 1990 - Minutes
Page 7
(Special Use Permit/Hokanson Development PUD, Continued)
This land is very low and a lot of logging would have to be done. He
didn't feel this property Is being protected under a PUD. as it would
be putting a lot of houses and drain fields Into a very minimal amount
of high ground. He appreciated the support in turning down this
request and asked that the Counc II consider amending the ordinance so
this doesn't come up again. He's concerned that as profit motives
Increase. more and more builders are going to try to use this method.
Mayor EI lIng noted this has been an interpretation problem: that the
intent has always been that PUDs are not al lowed in the rural area.
ORDINANCE 8 AMENDMENTS/HOME OCCUPATIONS
Chairperson Pease stated the basic change has been allowing businesses
In accessory buiJdlngs on lots of three acres in sIze or larger by
Special Use Permit. Also, the number of employees, In addi ti on to
fami] y members, has been limited to one person on site. Even i f there
is more than one home business being conducted In a home, the
restrictions noted in the ordinance apply -- 800 square feet for an
accessory structure. one addi tional employee. etc.
Council was concerned about opening up the residential neighborhoods
to the automobile repair business. Mr. Blake noted the ordinance does
not allow auto repair businesses. even with a SUP. The IIrepair
businesses" noted in the ordinance are not auto repair: they are for
repair and servicing of musica] , scientific or medical instruments,
photographic equipment, jewelry. watches. clocks. sma] I household
app I i ances, office machines. and clothes.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight. the Amendment to Ordinance 8
as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson. to move the issue of garage
sales to the P & z. Motion carried unanimously.
GENE BROWN PARK DEDICATION FEE
Mr. Haas explained Gene Brown had a Jot spJit approved in 1988 for
property at 135th Lane and Round Lake Boulevard sUbject to park
dedication fees. He has now approached the City about recording the
fees. The Park Board suggested hiring an appraiser to determine the
park dedication fees per the current procedure. The fee was
determined at $2,465. Mr. Brown is disputing how that fee was
determined.
Councilmember Orttel noted he is being charged for a developed Jot
because the lot sp II t took place when municipal sewer was Instal led.

(Gene Brown Park Dedication Fee, Continued)
Though CounciJmember Orttel agreed wi th the interpretation. he was
concerned about the high fee. Counc i I again discussed the procedure
used to determine park fees, noting this method is causing some
unusually high amounts for lot splits.
Gene Brown - disagreed with the InterpretatIon of the ordinance. He
felt i t is very clear that the value should be placed on the cost of
the J and wi thout the improvements. He said that means without sewer
and water, as those are improvements. The assesser has stated he
thinks it means with the City improvements but without buildings. If
that is what it means, why doesn't it say that? Attorney Hawkins
explained the ordinance is based upon the State Statutes. which allows
the City to take a reasonable portion of the land or require cash
equivalent. He felt the land and cash dedication needs to be treated
equa I I y. The City shouldn't be getting any more cash than it can get
based on the land dedication. This si tuatlon is unique because the
improvements are there. He felt that wi thout Improvements means those
improvements that would be constructed as a result of the platting
that is now taking p1ace. not relating to back and pretending a11 the
Improvements aren't there. Any land dedication wouJd incJude those
improvements: the cash should reflect the same cost.
Mr. Brown - disagreed. noting that is not what the ordinance states.
He said he'd love take this to court but cannot because he needs to
get this recorded.
In discussing the procedure used to determine park dedication fees,
Attorney Hawkins advised the Jaw aJlows the City to take a reasonable
portion, but it does not specify how much. The City can take a Jesser
percentage than the maximum reasonable portion of 10 percent --
whatever the Counc II feels Is reasonable. Counc i I dIscussed the
possibility of changing policy, either determining rationale for
taking a lesser percentage of the land value or determining land value
less al J Improvements, including City improvements.
It was then suggested that since Mr. Brown has some time constraints
in recording the lot spl it, that he escrow the $2.465 with the City.
The Counc I I can then discuss the entire matter with the Park Board in
an attempt to correct the problem. If i t is determined that the park
fee should be less, the balance would be returned to Mr. Brown. Mr.
Brown - stated he would be very happy to do that.
MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Orttel, that we continue thIs item and
ask the property owner to escrow the amount until such time as the
question Is resolved at a future meeting; and give authority for the
Mayor to sign the lot sp II t. Motion carried unanimously.

Mayor EIJing asked for a motion to table the i tern to a fu I J Council.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight. to so move. Motion carried

LOT PURCHASE/NORTHWEST STEEL FABRICATORS
Mr. Blake reviewed the proposal from Northwest Steel Fabricators to
purchase Lots 2 and 3 in the Commercial Park for $70,000, which comes
to about 50 cents per square foot. It also requires the City to close
the ditch between the lots, which he estimated would cost $14,000.
The net result of the sale would be about 40 cents per square foot for
the two lots.
CounclJrnember Jacobson reported the consensus of the Economic
Development Committee was not to go below 50 cents a square foot.
Including al J extra costs. Mayor EI ling aJso noted the medical
company looking at two other Jots has told him they are receiving
substantial financiaJ Incentives from other cities, asking if Andover
wants to consider further help such as Jandscaping. etc.
Councllmember Orttel though t that it could be argued that the covered
drainage pipe for the lots being considered by Northwest Steel
Fabricators should have been put in at the time of the plat.
It was generaJ]y agreed the Staff and City Attorney shouJd negotiate
with Northwest Steel Fabricators, but they did not want to go below 50
cents per square foot, including the cost of the covered drainage
pipe. Mr. Blake noted there are construction funds remaining from the
project that could be used to put in that pipe.
Counc I J also suggested that when ]ooklng at the medical dl str Ibutl on
company, that any further financial Incentives be tied to the number
of new jobs being created. They suggested the EDC Jook at that item
further.

RECYCLING AGREEMENT
Cindy DeRuyter, Recycling Coordinator, explained this is a one-year
agreement to experiment with landspreading leaves and grass clippings
In the fields. It is an alternative method to dispose of yard waste.
The City's only obligation Is to pay the OLEO farmers when and If It
uses them to dispose of yard waste. The waste will be debagged at the
curb to be sure It is cJean waste. The City wi 11 only have to pay for
whatever it arranges to have hauled to the farmers. The residents
would have to pay the hauler if this program ever gets going. The
Agreement does not obligate the City to do this: it al lows the City to
participate if it chooses to do so.
