CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING/IP90-25 - MOSQUITO CONTROL DISTRICT Mayor Orttel opened the public hearing at 7:36 p.m. Mr. Davidson outlined the changes to the original teaslbilJty report relative to the water lines. The proposal is to construct the wateellne from its .- -"--. Regular City Council Meetl ng Minutes - February 5, 1991 Page 2 (Continued Public Hearing/IP90-25 - Mosquito ControJ District) present location at the Anoka County Highway Building to the westerly I ine of the property the Mosquito District is leasing. The City would pay foe the overslzing at a cost of about $3,000. The frontage ot the leased property would be assessed along with the area and connection charges. The Anoka County Parks Building would not be assessed at this time. When the watermain is extended In the tutuee, the county would be assessed for the addi tlonaJ frontage plus an area assessment to the Packs Building. The County Board has passed a resolution indicating they would like to be notified of any potential or proposed impeovement foe the area in the futuee pelor to holding the pUblic hearings. Councilmembee Jacobson raised the question of what happens if the county decides not to approve Mosquito Conteol District's peoposal. Richard GauGer. ConsultinG Enoineer foe MOSGulto Control Dlsteict - understood they have an agreement with the county for the $3S,450 being presented this evening. Ceetain ratifications with the county have to take place within the next few weeks based on tonight's Counc i I action. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by McKelvey, the Resolution as proposed wi th the fol lowing change: that this Is not val id until an ageeement is reached with the county on the costs that the county wi II be incurring on the project and they have given approval. (See Resolution R012-91 oeder i ng the impeovement of watermaln, Project No. 90-25, 1260 Bunker Lake Boulevard, Metropolitan Mosquito Control District, and directing preparation of final plans and specifications) Motion carried unanimously. The Counc i I then discussed the issue of curbing the site being leased by Mosquito Control District. Mr. Gauger presented a map at the peoposed impeovement project and their proposal tor curbing around the building. They are asking to be relieved of the ordinance which requires curbing around the property because they want to to maintain the park status. It is not in a zoned district or a commercial site: bu I t is In a park, feel ing that Is the basis on which the curbing can be exempted. Mr. Carlberg reviewed Ordinance S, Section 8.0S (E) (9) which eequires all driveways, Joadlng areas and storage areas to be bounded by concrete curb and gutter. The exceptIons are very cleae, mainly In residential areas; and he telt that pee the ordinance, this is not an exception. It was pointed out during the discussion that the ordinance was recently amended to requlee concrete curb and gutters. Mayoe Orttel agreed the exceptions ace veey clear, but he ealsed the question of intent, thInking the ordinance as written seems severe for this type of use. - ... Regulae City Counci] Meeting Minutes - Februaey 5, 1991 Page 3 (Continued Public Hearing/IP90-25 - Mosquito Control Dlstr-icU Mr. Gauger pointed out one of the ditficulties with cuebing is the watee then is contained, and they have no way of dispersing it. The curbing required is extensive, and they feel It Is an unnecessary expenditure at public monies. Counc i I discussion noted that to allow any deviation from the ordinance would require an amendment to it. In viewing the sketch plan, there was general agreement that if the oedlnance did not require curbing in the packs, it would be acceptable to have concrete curb and gutter along the east and west sides of the driveways and front parking area, as well as around the building as proposed. The drainage would then be directed away from the curbed areas, and the remaining premeter would not have concrete curb and gutter, which would be in keeping with the aesthetics at the park aeea. Because some indicated the ordinance as written is mace encompassing than was originally intended and was not meant toe areas within a park, farms, and other Jarge open areas, it was agreed to dleect the Planning Commission to look at that section of the ordinance. It was though t the original intent was to require concrete curbing around commercia] areas such as convenience stores, shopping centers, etc. MOTION by Jacobson that the Counc i J deny the eequest tor- variance tram Ordinance 8, Section 8.08 to curbing foe the peoject. Mati on dies tor lack of a Second. MOTION by Smith, Seconded by McKelvey, that we table this until we take a closee look at the ordinance and make some adjustment to that tram the recommendations of our Staff, and forward it to the Planning Commission. Motion carried unanimously. The hearing was closed at 8:10 p.m. WOODLAND CREEK GOLF COURSE PLAN Byron Westlund. Woodland Development - reviewed the proposal to allow the DNR to trap the goslings that hatch in the spring at 1991 and transter them to other regions within the State of Minnesota in an effort to alJeviate the problem caused by the geese on the golf course. MOTION by Perry, Seconded by Smith, that the City at Andover authoeize Mayor Orttel to send a lettee to the DNR stating the City's agreement with the live trapping of goslings on the Woodland Creek Golf Couese, subject to the DNR approval and complying with their rules. Motion careled unanimously. - - Regulae City Council Meeting Minutes - February 5, 1991 Page 4 INDIAN MEADOWS DISCUSSION/5-YEAR PLAN/PARK BOARD Mr. Haas explained the Park Baaed's proposaJ for the deveJopment at Kelsey Park to Include access from CoRd 20 and a parking lot at the north end of the park. They have been woeking with the developer of the propeety involved to get the parking lot before the land is developed. Wayne Bachman, New Generation Homes, has made a proposal to dedicate Lot 1 , Block 7 on the preliminary plat at Andover West foe the packing Jot, to dedicate 8.1 acees which would exceed the dedication requirement for the balance of their property, and to pay up to $20,000 for the grading and Installation of Xenia Steeet tor access to the parking lot. Mr. Haas stated the Staff recommendation is to allow Mr. Bachman to plat and dedicate the right of way and all the land up tront without developing the peoperty. The City would allow him to pJat, but no building permits would be Issued unti I Xenia Steeet is constructed to City standards. Wayne Bachman - stated they agree to do that provided they would obtain plat approval then so they know what they can do on their peopeety. They would be proposing some changes to Andover West trom what was originally approved and asking that the plat be tlnalized peioe to the construction of Xenia. They would construct the road when they develop the four lots surrounding It. Park and Recreation Commission Chairperson Jeft Kieffer told the Counc i I the proposal peovldes the access they desire off CoRd 20. They would peeter the area with the pond to be dedicated, but they understand that would Jandlock some property for the developer. They wouJd like the City to acquiee the pond area it possible. Counc i J agreed to the proposal, noting the Development Agreement would spell out the conditions eegaeding Xenia Street. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, that we accept the proposal of the owner of New Geneeation Homes regarding what is known as Indian Meadows V in the proposal to open up Xenia Street and dedicate Lot 1 , Block 7 of that preJlminary to the City foe park purposes: and authorize the City Attorney to work out the proper legal documentation to satisfactorily make that transfer, and authorize the Mayor to execute the documents. Motion carried unanimously. STREET LIGHT REQUEST/142ND LANE AND ROUND LAKE BOULEVARD Mr. Haas reviewed the request at four property owners to install a steeet I i gh tat 14267 Round Lake Boulevard with each petitionee paying 1/ 4 of the monthly costs toe the light. He aJso outlined the options available to the Council. - .-, - Regular City Council Meeting Minutes - Febeuaey 5, 1991 Page 5 (Street Light Request/142nd Lane and Round Lake Boulevard, Continued) Council agreed to order a feasibility repoet tor the light at that intersection and to hold a pubJlc hearing. Mayor Orttel asked for a motion. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Smith, to so move. Motion careied unanimously. SELECT CONSULTANT/KELSEY-ROUND LAKE PARK Park and Recreation Commission Chairperson Jeff Kieffer reviewed the Commission's recommendation to hire Sanders, Wacker, Wehram, Bergley, Inc., to prepare a Mastee Plan for Kelsey-Round Lake Park and to help with the application for the grant. The funding is to come trom the General Fund, which will be paid back from the grant in 1992. If they do not get the grant, the money will come out of park dedication. MOTION by Smith, Seconded by McKelvey, to so move the recommendation of the Park and Receeation Commission. Motion carried unanimously. 1991 RECYCLING BUDGET Cindy DeRuyter, RecycJing Cooedinator, explained the proposed budget Is less than last year, and the proposed $37,129 scheduled tor Andover from the county is not a definite number because they may be attected with cutbacks from the State. If theee are cutbacks, there ace activities that can be reduced or eliminated. Mr. Koolick also explained that this budget includes administrative time of othee employees spent on eecycllng, which Is the reason foe the increase In salaries. MOTION by Peery, Seconded by Jacobson, the Resolution amending the 1991 General Fund budget subject to funding available from the county. (See Resolution R013-91) Motion carried unanimously. NEDEGAARD MEADOWS OF ROUND LAKE CONCEPT PLAN Bruce Nedeoaard - stated he originally came before the Council with a proposal of 138 lots. He looked at one-acre lots as eequested by the Council, which would only peovide 37 Jots. It would not be economlcaJly feasible for that type of development. The peoposal before the Council now is for 125 Jots, which Is 7 more than what is allowed by ordinance. The extra density allows them to cover the expense of bringing municipal utilities approximately 1/4 mile to the site. The lots average 75 x 130 feet, with the larger ones bordeelng existing developments to the west and noeth. Regular City Council Meeting Minutes - Februaey 5, 1991 Page 6 (Nedegaard Meadows of Round Lake Concept Plan, Continued) Lee Warneka. Andover Neiohborhood Preseevation Association - reported their group met with Mr. Nedegaaed and reviewed his proposaJs. They agreed that Mr. Nedegaard has an excellent reputation: however, the majority did not favor the 125-lot density. Their overwhelming preteeence was for one-acre lots, a density they feel is compatible with the adjacent community. There were only three dissenting votes, and he was one of them. The Association did not favor a middle ground, though he personally argued the proposal actually reduces the density tram what Is allowed. Counc I I discussion noted the questions of whethee the Metropolitan Counc i I and Metropolitan Waste Water Commission wouJd allow sewer to service the property, at the need toe a J I ft station it i t is served by the Coon Rapids Inteeceptor, and of the density being eight lots more than what is al lowed by ordinance. Dave Newman. Nedeoaaed Construction - explained their agreement with the property owner, Bruce Hay, is an option until February 15. It they can obtain conceptual approval trom the City, they will entee Into a binding purchase agreement that would have a number of contingencies such as the availability of sanitary sewee to the property. Once those contingencies ace compJled with, they will close on the property. Peter Rauen. 4110 147th Lane - stated given the past legal problems on this parcel, the residents are not confident that the City is not exposing Itself to legal prob]ems by rushing to peovide sewer to the property. They also don't understand how the Metropolitan Council would reverse itself on the issue. Another problem they see in staying with the lower density is the asking price tor the propeety. which they feel rewards the owner's behavior avec the Jast 20 years. The property is valued at $120,000 by the Anoka County Assessor, and they speculate the asking price is closer to a half million dol lacs. Me. Rauen noted they are aware of the alternative if something cannot be agreed to regarding a single family development; howevee, their concern has always been that of density, encouraging the Council to ¡ oak a t a I I the possibi]ltles, such as one-acre sewered Jots. Most of their concerns with the development are density related. Mayor Oettel didn't think the one-acre on-site septic system development Is feasible, as it appeaes many of the Jots would not suppoet a septic system because of the low land. That leaves the option at something more dense requiring sanitary sewer. The Ci ty would have to convince the Metropolitan Council that something has changed since they refused service last time. One thing that has changed Is the number at available lots In the City. It ma y a I so require some negotiating on the City's Comprehensive Plan, but he acknowJedged there Is no guarantee. .- .."- Regular City Council Meeting Minutes - February 5, 1991 Page 7 (Nedegaard Meadows of Round Lake Concept Plan, Continued) Councilmember McKelvey opposed the proposed density, expressing concern over tal lowing the ordinance and the impact on the schools. He suggested Mr. Nedegaard work with Rose]]a Sonsteby, propeety owner to the south and southeast, to reduce the overalJ density for the aeea to meet the ordinance. Mr. Nedegaard stated they have not discussed It with Ms. Sonsteby, but they wouJd be willing to work with her. Rose]la Sonstebv - stated she would like to wack with the developers, preferring to sel J her land to them but would work with them for a development that would encompass both properties. She felt the people shouJd be happy that there would be homes there instead of a mobile home park. She also alleged she and Mr. Hay came before the Council years ago with a one-acre development proposal, and they were tuened down. She didn't see one-acre lots as being feasible, noting probJems with existing septic systems and shallow wells in Dehn's Addition. Don Leooe. 1441 Vintaqe Steeet - stated his development to the east Is a lot sma I ler than one-acre or 2 1/2-acre lots to the west, but the proposaJ is a higher density than any of the sueroundlng areas. He asked the Council to not create a higher density development between two lower density areas. He also preferred the one-acre Jots oe Jarger with sanitaey sewer, notIng the stress that wou]d be ceeated with the high density on the schooJs, etc. Mr. Legge also disagreed with 75-foot wide lots, noting many people lIke to access the back of their yards with vehicles, which cannot be done with 5-toot sideyard setbacks. He'd aJso like to see street lights and stop signs to avoid a thoroughtaee between CoRds 9 and 7. Mayor Orttel noted street lights are requIred. The Council continued to discuss the proposal and possible alternatives. Though the residents favored one-acre lots and telt more effort shouJd be put into making that concept work, the majority of the Council generally realized that would not be teasible on the peoperty. However, they did not favor an R-4 density higher than what is alJowed by ordinance. One suggestIon was to look at having largee lots abutting eXisting development, with sma I lee ones in the interior of the plat. Mr. Newman - explained the need to resolve the issues and move on with the project quickly, hoping to maeket some at the lot yet this year. Because of al I the issues that factoe in, they do not think the project is economically feasible it all lots met the SO-foot lot width minimum. They will be meeting with Mr. Hay next week and will have to decide whether to continue with the proposaJ or not. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, that the City Council deny the conceptual idea, the density as proposed by Nedegaard Development on what we cal I the Hay property In Its peesent foem. Motion carried unanimously. Regular City Council Meeting Minutes - February 5, 1991 Page 8 (Nedegaard Meadows of Round Lake Concept Plan, Continued) MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, I f a proposa I does meet all of the conditions of R-4 zoning, that the City Council would be amenable to consldeeing a project that would fit that crlteeia. DISCUSS ION: Councilmembee Jacobson noted the othee items that ceeate problems with this property besides the density, such as trattlc patteens, sanitaey sewer, wetlands, etc. Motion carried unanimously. APPROVE PLANS AND SPECS/ORDER AD FOR BIDS - FIRE STATIONS 1 & 2 Tom Anderson of BRA reviewed the pJans and specitications for Fire Stations 1 and 2. Fire Chlet Glen Smith also explained they are making provisions tor oveenights should that occur In the future and to accommodate the Department's long-standing Standard Operating Procedure to have Firefighters at the station during Inclement weather. WI th the increase in peesonnel, they wi II also appreciate the extra eoom for teaining. There will be a total of 13 major response vehicles housed In the three stations. Mr. Anderson also reviewed the estimated costs at the buildings of $1,483,000. In addition, they are proposing a number at alternative bids for cost cont~ol. Those include taking out a six-foot section of the main station, installing a less expensIve heating system, eliminating the hose tower in Station 2, and al lowing a less expensive floor treatment. The estimated cost Is all Inclusive of wells, septic systems, etc. Chiet Smith stated they are watching the bUdget closely and monitoring their expenditures so the costs do not exceed the $2.5 million bond. Attorney Hawkins eeported the condemnation peoceduee to acquire the land for Station 2 should be completed by the middle at March. Mr. Anderson stated the bids will be opened on March 12 with construction expected to begin around Ap~11 1. Mayor Oettel preterred to retain the contingency tor things that come up dueing construction. Another expense that had not been contemplated is the sewer and watee connection chaege on the lot toe Station 1, which amounts to about $23,000. He suggested the Council discuss that item at a tuture date as to whether It shou]d be chaeged or waived. MOTION by Smith, Seconded by Jacobson, a Resolution approving the final plans and specifications and ordee the advertisement fo~ bids for Project No. 90-26, Fire Stations 1 and 2.

Regulae City Council Meetl ng Minutes - February 5, 1991 Page 9 ATTORNEY'S UPDATE Attorney Hawkins updated the Councl] on two litigation matters: 1) An agreement has been reached with David Heidelbeeger to move out of the mobi I e home located near the Commeecial Park area and to cemove the mobile home by July 4. 2) The litigatIon brought by Rosella Sonsteby alleging the City drained water onto hee property team the Downtown Shopping Centee will go on triaJ this month. 1991 CDBG PROJECTS Mr. Car]berg reviewed the proposed 1991 budget for the CDBG Funds to continue the update of the Comprehensive Plan, to provide tundlng for vaelous public service organizations, and to retain almost $9,000 as a contingency.
