,~ .. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - FEBRUARY 19, 1991
M mUTES
The Regulae Bi-Monthly MeetIng of the Andover City Council was call ed
to order by Mayor Ken Orttel on February 19, 1991, 7:30 p.m., at the
Andover City Hal I, 1685 Crosstown BouJevard NW, Andover, Minnesota.

on a 4-Yes, 1-Absent (Perry) vote.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
February 5 Regular and HRA Meetings: Coerect as wrItten.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Smith, approve both Minutes. Motion
careied on a 4-Yes, l-Absent (Perry) vote.
PUBLIC HEARING/ORDINANCE 8. Section 4.05 (K)
Mr. Carlberg reviewed the proposed clarification to Ordinance 8,
Section 4.05 (K) relating to accessory structures. It was not sent to
the PJanning and Zoning Commission because the City Attorney advised
the CI ty Counci I could hold a hearing because it Is only a
clarification. The change would not allow pole buildings within the
Metropolitan Urban Service Area.
Mr. CarJberg did not think it was a typIng error when the ordinance
was passed: but in reading the minutes ot the hearings and Council
consideration, it was his opinion that the intent was to not al low
pole buildings in the MUSA aeea.
Dave Almgren, Building OtfIcial, recalled when the change was made,
the intent was not to allow pole buildings In the MUSA area; but when
the ordInance was wrItten, they forgot that there are R-3 zones within
MUSA aeea which are larger than three acees.

(Public Hearing/Ordinance 8, 4.05 (K), Continued)
Mayor OrtteJ did not think the intent had been to forbid pole
bui Idings in the MUSA area, just I imi t them to parcels of three acres
in size or larger. He clearly remembers that what was passed Is what
had been intended, because at the time he related it to his own lot in
the ueban area. The object of the three acres was to take It out of
the standard rural development. The Mayor wasn't sure what the peoblem
would be to allow pole buildings on Jots of three acees or mace within
the urban area. He wondered about the implications of disaJlowlng
them in the R-4 zone where a parcel is permanently developed at five
or six acres. He wasn't sure the City should eliminate the
possibility of them havIng an agriculutural use building.
Councilmember Jacobson feJt it no ereor has been made, then any
amendment should go through the legal process at hearings held by the
Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Carlberg pointed out that is
about a seven-week process, and there has been a eequest tram a
resident to construct a pole building on a lot ot more than three
acees in the R-4 zone. Counc i I advised the ordinance applies as
approved.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by McKelvey, that the Counc i J pass the
item back to the Planning and Zoning Commission and ask them to
expedi te it as tast as possible and consider the option in their
recommendation as to special use in very large lots in the southern
part of the City. Motion carried on a 4-Yes, i-Absent (Perry) vote.
The hearing closed at 7:49 p.m.
REZONING/ED FIELDS AND SONS
Planning and Zoning Commission Chairperson Ron Ferris reviewed the
Commission's recommendation to approve the request of Ed Fields and
Sons, I nc or to rezone property tram R-1 to Agricul tural Peeserve.
The legal description betore the Council is now the correct one.
MOTION by Sml th, Seconded by Jacobson, to accept the Resolution as
written. (See Resolution R020-91 granting the rezoning request of
Edward FieJds and Sons, Inc. , to rezone property feom R-1, Single
Fami Iy Rural, to Agricultural Peeseeve) Motion careied on a 4-Yes,
1-Absent (Perry) vote.
VARIANCE/RICHARD BECKES
Planning and Zoning Commission Chairperson Ron Ferris reviewed the
Commission's recommendation to deny a variance requested by Richaed
Beckes, 14484 Jonqu i I Street, to allow the placement of a shed
encroaching 25 feet into the sideyard setback along 145th Avenue NW.
That encroachment also goes 10 feet into the utility easement and 45
- -"-
Regular City Council Meeting
Minutes - February 19, 1991
Page 3
(Variance/Richard Beckes, Continued)
feet onto a drainage easement. It is an unusual piece at property
because of the large amount of easements over it and because of the
terralne. The Commission found Mr. Beckes does have an alternative
location to place the shed next to the garage, though Mr. Beckes
wished to reserve that area for a possible extension to his garage In
the future. Chairperson Ferris explained the Commission was not
happy about the denial, but felt that under the strict inteepretation
of the ordinance, there was no basis for granting a variance.
Rlchaed Beckes. 14484 Jonau i I Street - stated the shed Is not
an chaced to the geound; it is sitting on timbers. He pointed out that
In the handbook given to him by the Building Department, Oedlnance 6,
6.02 talks about the sldeyard setback from the street. He stated
there is no point at reterence to start measuring. He is 32 teet from
the centerline, which is the reterence point he uses In his job wi th
MnDoT, and that Is wi thin the ordinance setback. The book does not say
the measurement has to start tram the property line; it says from the
street. He feJt that should be clarified.
Mr. Carlberg explained that on platted property, the street Includes
the right at way. Mayor Orttel also explained that the centerline is
used only In the ruea I areas. Once It becomes platted property, the
property line is the reterence point.
Mr. Beckes - stated he put the shed where he thought it would be
legal. His wife called the City Hall and was told It could be placed
10 feet from the back of the curb. He felt there has been a
precedent set to granting variances because of misinformation given
by Ci ty Staff. He also pointed out that the City granted Itself a
variance because of misinformation by the City Engineee. He was
frustrated that he did what he was told he could do but is now being
asked to move the shed. Me. Beckes stated that the Building Otticial
had been in that vicinity many times as the shed was being
constructed, but he was not told it had to be moved until it was
nearly completed. He was also angry at having to move the shed when
there have been no complaints by the neighbors and when there are many
other similiar violations in the City which are not being dealt with.
Mr. Caelberg stated he talked to the Staff, and no one recalled
advising anyone that a shed could be placed 10 feet from the curb.
Dave Almgren, Building Otficlal, stated the Department never uses the
back of the curb for any points of reference, nor do any of the other
cities around.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Smith, the Resolution presented.
FURTHER DISCUSSION: If he has to move his shed, Mr. Beckes asked that
the ordinance be enforced uniformly throughout the City. He's noted
about 18 other sheds, theee or foue of them in exactJy the same
location as his. He also argued that the topography of his lot
-

Minutes - February 19, 1991

(Variance/Richard Beckes, Continued)
allows him only one option, which is veey restrIctive. The City
granted itself a variance because of tuture plans, and Mr. Beckes felt
he should be treated the same. He felt his is a unique situation. In
addition, he stated his neighbor filled in the drainage easement
without City permission, aSking if he too would be allowed to tiJI the
deainage easement to place his shed there. He asked why he is being
singled out when the eegulations are not enforced against others who
violate them.
Counc i J and Staft explained the need for keeping the easements clear,
explained how the variance for the City is not the same as this
sItuation, and then noted the criterIa for granting a vaeiance is
based on haedship. Mr. Beckes agaIn poInted out It Is a hardship
because ot the topogeaphy of his lot and because he was mlslntormed by
the City employee. He asked it the City would be responsible for any
damage that results feom moving the shed. Mayor Oettel stated no.
ADDITION TO MOTION by Jacobson to add another WHEREAS, that it is In
a drainage and utility easement. Second Stands. (See Resolution
R021-91 denying the variance request at Richard Beckes for the
placement ot an 8' x 12' accessory structure encroaching 25 feet into
the sideyard setback along 145th Avenue on property located at 14484
Jonqu i I Street) Motion carried on a 4-yes, 1-Absent (Perry) vote.
CITY CELEBRATION/DOWNTOWN MERCHANTS
Fred Steaderman - representing the merchants in the Downtown Center.
He explained that thele activity to promote the Downtown Centee has
grown into a community celebration, and they are directing more at
their advertising to bring in more of the local businesses. They have
also found theee is a great deal at loyalty of the people to shop at
the Downtown Center despite the new stoees going in in Coon Rapids.
The cost of the City Celebration was $8,000 last year as well as many
hours of volunteer wack tram individuaJs and organizations.
Mr. Steaderman asked that the City support the July 19 and 20, 1991,
Celebration in the following ways: 1) Become Involved with a Miss
Andover pageant in terms of providing the faciJlty for that type at
event, 2) That the Ci ty Counci I would endorse the City Celebration
and communicate by letter with the businesses in Andover recommending
that they participate in i t as we I I , and 3) That the City would help
find a location to have a fireworks display. Mr. Steaderman stated
the fieeworks display has been very popu]ar in the past; however,
because of the growing development around the Downtown Center, they
had a I a see show last year. It was not as wel] eecelved as the
fireworks display.
The Counc II generally had no peoblem with a letter to businesses
endorsing the City Celebration and attempting to find a location foe
the fieeworks display. Councilmember Smith agreed to be the J iaison
between the City Celebration Committee and the Council.

ADOPT FUND BALANCE POLICY
Mr. Koolick reviewed the background and reasons to adopt a fund
balance policy. It is good financial management and it will clarity
for the State the true financial condition of the City.
MOTION by Smith, Seconded by McKelvey, approval of the Resolution
establishing a policy regarding designations and reseevations at
year-end fund balance amounts. (See Resolution R022-91) Motion
carried on a 4-Yes. 1-Absent (Perry) vote.
APPROVE 1991 MSA STREET CONSTRUCTION
Mr. Haas reviewed the recommendations of the Road Committee of the
1991 MSA street construction to include Crosstown Deive between Bunker
Lake Boulevard and Crosstown Boulevard and Crooked Lake Boulevaed
south of Bunkee Lake Boulevard to the Coon Rapids border. There is
about $500,000 available tor construction, plus $200,000 In Andovee's
MSA fund that could be used. Approximately $70,000 at that is
committed to sidewalks and street signals.
Mr. Haas stated they also discussed the possibility of constructing
University Avenue feom 151st to 157th and tram 157th to Constance
Boulevard. They do not know if the City at Ham Lake is stilI
interested in doing both roads. Councilmember McKelvey stated the
Road Committee questioned the need to improve University Avenue
because of the limited traffic and limited benefit to Andover.
Atter some discussion, the Council asked that the new Councilmembers
get copies of the Assessment Policies, and that the MSA Assessment
Policy be placed on the next agenda tor consideration. It was the
Council's desire that an appeoved policy be in place peior to any
public hearings being held.
The Council also recalled they had told the City of Ham Lake that they
would hold hearings in 1991 regarding the consteuction of University
Avenue. It was agreed to hold a 429 Public Hearing to determine
whether or not the eesidents want the project. Council aJso agreed to
invite a representative from the Ham Lake City Council to attend that
heaeing.
The Council had some concern about the rebuilding of Crooked Lake
Boulevard south of Bunker Lake Boulevard as it is a nice wide road and
wi I I eventually be closed oft. Mr. Schrantz explained the intent is
to put sidewalks along it. Mayoe Orttel questioned spending the money
on this eoad given the limited traftlc that is on that street, with
even Jess traffic likely in the tuture. The real need for sidewaJks
is along Bunker Lake Boulevard. Mr. Schrantz then suggested the eoad
be marked with stripping to provide walking paths along the edges. No
action was taken on this proposal.

(Appeove 1991 MSA Street Construction, Continued)
The consensus of the Counc i I was that C~osstown Drive between Bunker
Lake and Crosstown Boulevards needs to be built, and Staff was asked
to prepare the necessary documentatIon to begin that project.
The Counc i I also agreed that the Road Committee should hold informal
neighborhood meetings In Lakeridge, Rum River Forest, and NJoedmark
Dale to explain proposed Improvements to thei~ roads.
It was also ageeed that the Road Committee would have Informal
meetings with the residents on the four roads that would be atfected
by the eecommendatlon to designate those roads as minimum maintenance
roads so the City would not have to geade oe snowplow them. Another
option may be to vacate those eoads.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Smith, that we authoeize City Staff
to adve~tise fo~ 429 proceedings on Crosstown Drive between Bunker
Lake Boulevard and Crosstown Boulevaed and hold public hearings on the
matter as soon as possible. Motion caerIed on a 4-Yes, 1-Absent
(Percy) vote. Staff noted It will bring back a formal Resolution tor
adoption at the next meeting.
SKETCH PLAN/INDIAN MEADOWS 4TH. 5TH. AND 6TH ADDITIONS
Mr. Haas reviewed the p~oposed sketch plan ot Indian Meadows as
presented by Wayne Bachman, New Gene~ation Homes. One change from the
orIginal proposal is the construction of cuI de sacs because of the
topography, and there is a proposal to sell off a portion of the land
adjacent to Seventh Avenue. The park dedication has already been
agreed to by the Council and the Park and Recreation COmmission.
Mr. Bachman explained the eastern paction of the that property which
has already been sold to another developee borders Kelsey Park. The
developer has stated his intent to dedicate that land tor parkland.
There Is a soils p~oblem to put 153rd Avenue through, and that is why
his new proposal is for the additional cuI de sacs.
There was some discussIon regarding access to the weste~n prope~ty
adjacent to Seventh Avenue which Me. Bachman is proposIng to sell.
Mr. Haas explained the City would like a cuI de sac consteucted off
the end of Hop I Street to provide a tuenaeound for road maintenance
equipment. Mr. Bachman explained the person interested in purchasing
the property owns an adjacent lot Just east of Hopi Street and is not
Interested in subdivIding the peoperty, so access to that property is
not needed. The owner is also willing to vacate that poet Ion of Hopi
Street from 155th south ~athe~ than having a cuI de sac constructed at
the end of It. That portion of Hopi Is now blacktopped but theee Is
no cuI de sac at the end. Mr. Bachman thought it is uneconomical for
him to build 153rd to the property line to provide futu~e access. It
he is forced to do so, he stated he will not sell the property.

Page 7
(Sketch PJan/Indian Meadows 4th, 5th, and 6th Additions, Continued)
The Counc II felt the two parcels could not be combined since one is a
platted lot and the other Is unplatted. It Hop i Street weee vacated
and the proposed 153rd in Indian Meadows was not consteucted to the
property I ine of the said parce], by default the access for the parcel
WOUld be off Seventh Avenue, which the Council telt Is unacceptable.
The Counc i I also noted that though this potential buyer does not
intend to develop the property, It does not preclude a future owner
feom wanting to do so; therefoee, good planning dictates that either
Hopi Street or 153rd or both should go to the peoperty line to provide
futuee access. Mayor Ortte I also noted that al] other developers In
the City have been requieed to extend thele streets to the property
line for possible future extension.
Another alternative which could be explored is to have the potential
buyer include In the deed that he Is giving up the right to lega]
access onto Seventh Avenue. Or the potential buyer can check Into the
possibility of combining the said parcel, if it Is developed in this
plat as an outlot, with his existing lot, which then has access off
155th. It that is the case, the Counc II would give consideration to
vacating Hopi Street or classifying It as a minimum maintenance
street.
There being no further discussion, the plat wi]] proceed through the
Planning and Zoning process, wi th Councl] emphasizing that the paecel
being proposed for sale have an access other than Seventh Avenue.
Discussion was then on Mr. Bachman's eequest to be granted plat
approval for Indian Meadows 6th Addition without requiring street
consteuctlon. In exchange, he would donate Lot 9 In the original
plat, the area with the pond, foe park purposes. The Park Board has
indicated they would like that aeea to be included as pact of
Kelsey-Round Lake Park.
Me. Bachman stated they would agree to restrict development until the
steeets are constructed. He cannot atford to consteuct all the
streets on the front end, but he'd like the assurance at being able to
develop the 2 1/2 acee lot sizes in the tuture.
Counc II asked the City Attoeney to draft the legal documentation of
the proposal for their consideration.
RECOMMEND CCWD MEMBER
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Smith, that the Andover City Council
eecommend to the Anoka County Board that Mr. Bob Boyum be Andover's
respresentative on the Coon Creek Watershed Board for another term.
Motion carried on a 4-Yes, i-Absent (Perry) vote.

WDE/HANSON BOULEVARD
Mayor OrtteJ reported the status at the cleanup of the WDE site in
regard to the waste residues in the Hanson Boulevaed eight at way.
They are saying Andover has some exposure because the county did not
accept a portion at the right at way when Hanson Boulevaed was
constructed. The City may be cal led upon to use its truck to haul
some of the material. Another conceen of the City Is that a plan be
prepared which leaves the area south of the landtlll in a usable
state. Andover will not allow the cleae-cutting of the trees which
buffees the residential area nor the removaJ of the screening along
Crosstown Boulevard.
Mayor Orttel a]so noted the Issue of peotectlon of adjacent properties
from methane gas should be discussed at some point. Apparently it Is
against the rules for the PCA to al low the construction or remedial
action of landfills which allows the migration of methane beyond the
toe of the landfllJ. Further discussion questioned the City's
liability regaedlng methane migration. It was ageeed to put the
owners of any properties that may potentially be affected on notice In
writing of the potential problem.
Counc I I also agreed the Environmental Committee should discuss this
entice issue fuether.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:54 to hold a meeting of the Andovee
Housing and Redevelopment Authority; eeconvened at 10:04 p.m.
