Development. All lots meet the ordinance requirements, a 1 though a
varIance is needed from the I-percent grade requirement for 178th
Lane. It Is an existIng gravel road dedicated when Cedar Hil Is 1st
AddItIon was developed. The PlannIng and Zoning CommIssion has

face the county road.
Counc 11 expressed concern with the grade tor 178th Lane, suggest I ng
the road be graded wIth a crown In the mIddle to avoId bIrd baths in
the road. Mr. Haas stated the City wi I I require bluetop elevatIon

APPROVE MEADOWS OF ROUND LAKE REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT
Mr. Haas revIewed the request of Nedegaard ConstructIon to approve the
revised prelImInary plat for The Meadows of Round Lake. The alignment
of Eldorado Street NW and 147th Avenue have been changed to al low the

because of the wetlands, and there I s an addi t! ona I area added to the
park. As a part of theIr gradIng, the pond wI 11 be Increased in sIze.
There are now 161 buIldIng lots wIthin the development. WI th the
changes, two variances are needed. They are working wIth the
construction engIneer on a gradIng plan that wI I I be acceptable to the
Andover RevIew CommIttee.
Counc I I dIscussIon noted Block 2, Lot 1 meets the mInImum square
footage In size but a variance Is needed because It does not meet the
requIred mean lot depth. Another variance Is needed for the lots to
front on Eldorado Street and 147th Avenue, whIch Is to be desIgnated
an MSA street.
Councllmember Jacobson noted everythIng Is being done on the
assumptIon that Eldorado Street wIll extend south to CoRd 116. If the
extensIon of that street Is not approved, the plat wI 1 I need to come
back. He stated he wi 1 I not vote for approval of the plat unless
there Is that third outlet to CoRd 116. Mr. DavIdson stated they
received the mitigating plan today.

APPROVE WDE PUMPING
Mayor Orttel reported the City is beIng asked for approval to
discharge Into the sanitary sewer system from the WDE Jandfi I] site on
a temporary basis. He, as well as Mr. Schrantz, Mr. HawkIns and
representatives from all agencIes, met to fInal ize the Items In the

boundaries of the landf I] I have been revised to where the City thought

CROOKED LAKE MILFOIL UPDATE
DIck Beard. Board Member of the Crooked Lake AssocIation - addressed
the Counc i J regardIng theIr efforts to solIcIt funds for an
experImental mIl fol 1 treatment on Crooked Lake this spring. The Coon
Creek Watershed Board has authorIzed $5,000, plus they have received
additional donations from property owners for a total of $17,000 to
--.
Regular CIty Council Meeting
MInutes - April 7, 1992
Page 4
(Crooked Lake MIlfol1 Update, Continued)
$18,000. Each homeowner around the Jake was asked for a $200
contribution. The majority have made some contributIon. The DNR has
estimated It wI 1 J cost about $20,000. He asked that the CIty donate
$2,000 as the owner of the boat landing; and they wi I I be asking the
Coon RapIds CIty CouncIl for $2,500 tomorrow evenIng as the owner of
the beach. Any excess funds wIll be used for further spot treatments
and for monItorIng. The procedure Is to kIll al I the weeds In the
lake, then allow the natural vegetatIon to come back.
Bob Loftus. Secretarv of the Association - read a letter from Bil I
Ottensman, Coon RapIds, to the Counc II recommending they authorIze
$2,500 for thIs treatment. One of the concerns is the expense of
monItoring the sItuatIon In the future and watching the Andover boat
landIng where more than just the JocaJ resIdents enter the Jake. He
stated WCCO-TV has talked to hIm about thIs issue and wi I 1 be
hIghlIghtIng the experImental nature of the treatment on tomorrow's
news. One of the unIque thIngs about thIs project Is the
contrIbutions by all parties rather than assessIng It.
The DNR, who controls the boat landing, wIll not agree to closing the
Janding for more than two hours during the treatment. There was some
concern about toxIcity of the treatment, but the DNR claims It is
toxic at only that localized time when they are doIng the applIcation.
The DNR is supervising the activity.
Mayor Orttel felt the CIty had the same obligatIon as anyone else
along the lake to help fund the treatment. The questIon Is where the
funds would come from. DIscussion was that possIbly the funds could
come from park maIntenance, park dedIcatIon funds, or as a last
resort, from the PIR fund.
Mr. Loftus - stated the Coon RapIds CIty Attorney is of the opinIon
this project cannot be assessed because It does not benefIt the
properties. He was partIcularly concerned about the future
maIntenance costs. Attorney HawkIns stated at this poInt It does not
matter because the needed funds have been contrIbuted. He dId not
believe there is any legal authorIty to establIsh an assessment
distrIct for this type of thing. He did speculate. however, that i f
the weeds were removed, the value of the land would increase. Mayor
Orttel suggested that be researched If I t comes up In the future.
Counc i I suggested the Park and RecreatIon CommIssion make a
recommendatIon as to where they feel the funds should come from.
Because of the time constraInts to do the treatment, Counc i I agreed to
approve the request and forward the Item to the Park CommissIon to
discuss the source of funding at theIr next meeting. Counc I I member
Jacobson felt that with thIs contribution by the CIty, the maintenance
costs should be borne by the property owners. Mayor Orttel hoped that
could be done. It would also be better If the item were Included when
the budget is beIng considered.

Regular City Councl I MeetIng
Minutes - April 7, 1992

(Crooked Lake MI IfoI 1 Update, Continued)
MOTION by Perry, Seconded by McKelvey, that the Andover CIty CouncIl
authorize the expendIture of $2,000 to the Crooked Lake AssocIatIon
for the milfoil clean up of the lake, and that thIs information be
included in the Park Board discussion at their next meeting because we
wi 1 I be askIng the Park Board to fund this amount. DISCUSSION: Mr.
Beard noted the funds are beIng coJ lected by the Coon Creek Watershed
Board. Attorney Hawkins advised the City Is authorIzed to purchase
services for publ Ie purposes, as is being done In this case. MotIon
carried unanimously.
COMMERCIAL LOT SALE DISCUSSION
Mr. Carlberg presented the offer of Ron Hudak of G & R Elevator to
purchase Lot 2, Block 2 of the Andover CommercIal Park for $.55 a
square foot rather than $.65 per square foot and/or reduce the sewer
and water connection charges.
Ron Hudak. G & R Elevator - explaIned they are a manufacturing firm
of passenger elevators. They have been in busIness for 14 years,
leasing space in Blaine for 10 years. They must move because the
landlords want to take over their area. There is no outside storage.
95 percent of theIr busIness is out of state. They propose
constructing a 15,000 square-foot one-level building on the lot. They
are aSking for a reductIon because they are a sma I J growing business
and they need the help. Mr. Hudak's partner felt they wIll be a bIg
asset to the communIty. They do lose a lot of area because of the
shape of the Jot.
Mr. Koolick stated the Council has dIscussed a lower cost per square
foot for other proposals in the past, though he dl dn' t reca] ] If any
had been final ized. The TIF District is premIsed on gettIng businesses
In to capture that Increment. RIght now the CIty Is runnIng Into a
real problem with not having businesses in that dIstrict.
Counc i J agreed that thIs is an ideal busIness for this area. CouncIJ-
member Smith suggested that the connection charges not be changed, as
everyone Is expected to pay the same; however, the type of busIness
and the sIze of the buIldIng warrants negotIatIon on the prIce of the
land. Mayor Orttel reported the AEDC CommIttee agreed I t I s the type
of business the City wants to attract. It is a 10caJ firm with an
excel lent reputatIon, plus one of the owners Is an Andover resIdent.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Smith, that the City Council approve
the sale of Lot 2, Block 2, Andover CommercIal Park to G & R Elevator
ManufacturIng at the price of $.55 per square foot. Motion carried
unanImously. Staff was directed to prepare a purchase agreement.

WEYBRIDGE BUILDING PERMIT
Mr. Carlberg explaIned Nedegaard ConstructIon has requested the City
issue a buIlding permIt on Lot 4, Block 6, WeybrIdge. The Jot has
already been sold, and the purchasers are under a tIme constraInt to
move Into the house as soon as possIble. The preJlmlnary plat has
been approved, but i t Is not yet in the MUSA. When the MInor
Amendment to the Comprehensive PJan Is approved, the area wIll be
al lowed to be servIced wIth municIpal sanItary sewer, whIch Is located
wIthIn a few feet of the lot. The lot Is already zoned R-4, which
al lows 6-foot sideyard setbacks. However, because I t Is outsIde the
MUSA, 10-foot sldeyard setbacks are requIred. SInce I t wIll be an
urban lot when i t Is Included in the MUSA, the request Is for a
temporary varIance to allow the 6-foot setback. The sIde of the lot
wI th the 6-foot setback abuts a strIp of parkland.
Mr. Carlberg reported Metropolitan Staff has told hIm today they
expect the MetropolItan Council to approve thIs MInor Amendment on
Aprl I 23 as a part of their consent agenda.
DavId Newman. Nedecaard Construction - stated normally It takes 90
days to build a home of this size. The buyer has already sold hIs
existing home, so he needs to proceed on thIs.
Mr. Wlndschitl - stated there are two 40-acre parceJs, so two
, building permits would be aJ lowed. He is in agreement with the
Nedegaard proposal and request. Counc I J noted In the worst case
si tuation if the land Is not included in the MUSA, a private septic
system and we 1 I would need to be constructed prIor to occupancy; pJus,
this would not be a glarIng encroachment.
MOTION by SmIth, Seconded by McKelvey, to authorIze the issuance of
a bulldlng permit under R-4 condItions on Lot 4, Block 6 of Weybridge.
Motion carried unanImously.

MotIon carrIed unanimously.
AWARD STREET SWEEPING QUOTES
Mr. Stone reviewed the quotes received for street sweeping and
recommended AI lIed Blacktop Company. They have the highest hourly
quote but have done a good job in the past and have swept the City In
less tIme than estImated, thereby savIng the CIty money. Mr. HawkIns
advised the CIty is obligated to award to the lowest responsIble
bidder unless it can show that Metro Sweep is not responsible.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, that the CI ty Counci 1 award
the street sweeping contract for the CIty for 1992 to Metro Sweep for
the amount of $50 per hour per unit with the maxImum to the contract
beIng a budgeted amount of $16,800. Motion carried unanImously.

(Award Street SweepIng Quotes, ContInued)
Mr. Stone stated because the City Is payIng $100 per hour for thIs
project, he asked that the fIre personnel In PublIc Works that wIll be
on thIs project not be allowed to go to fire calls. Otherwise it
creates a problem by havIng to shut down the sweepers while personnel
Is being changed. He has the same problem when flushIng hydrants.
FIre ChIef Dale Mashuga was concerned about havIng enough personnel
respond to fire calls, especIallY durIng a general alarm. Mr. Stone
agreed I f there Is a general a1arm, the fIre personnel on the project
would be al ¡owed to respond. OtherwIse they would not. Chief Mashuga
agreed.
Mr. Stone stated in the past the agreement was two of the Public Works
people who are also fIrefighters would be allowed to respond to cal Is;
the other two would not. He would lIke that polley reInstItuted.
Counc I I dIrected the issue to the Personnel Commi ttee; but agreed that
durIng the street sweepIng project, firefIghters who are workIng on
the project wI I I not respond unless It Is a general alarm.
KELSEY/ROUND LAKE PARK SURVEY/MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Counc I I acknowledged the letter from the MInnesota HIstorical SocIety
requIrIng the CIty to complete a survey prIor to the fInal grant
approval. Mr. Haas stated three consultants were contacted to submit
proposals, but all proposals have not yet been receIved. No actIon was
taken at thIs tIme.
AWARD BIDS/USED SCBA EQUIPMENT
AssIstant FIre Chief JIm PIerson noted the bids for sale of the used
SCBA equIpment, askIng they be awarded to the hIghest bidders. The
equIpment Is obsolete and not compatible wIth the Department's current
equIpment. It would also requIre over $200 per unit to update them to
meet OSHA and NFPA standards.
ChIef Dale Mashuga noted the correctIons to the proposed award to Alex
AIr: Delete 2 MSA Custom 4500 BreathIng Apparatus for a total of $800,
delete 2 MSA ComposIte aIr bottles for a total of $400, and change the
number of MSA ComposIte AIr Bottles to 1. Total amount of the
reduction Is $1,400; Grand Total of the sale - $7,155.
Mr. Koollck explalned the proceeds will be put In the General Fund,
and the Counc I I can designate how it Is used. Chief Mashuga then asked
that the proceeds of this sale be used to purchase 10 new air bottles
for a total of $5,500, with the remaInder of the proceeds to pay for
two pagers and a radIo whIch was ordered in 1991, whIch costs $1,954.
He has just received those Items, but they cannot be paId from the
1991 budget because it has been closed.

(Award BIds/Used SCBA EquIpment, ContInued
Counc i I noted the Fire Department must receIve bIds for the aIr
bottles. Assitant ChIef PIerson stated that may be dIfficult because
Draeger Is the only deaJer that sells the partIcular unIts the
Department has, but he wll J look for other companIes.
Counc I I noted the request Is for more than the grand total of the
sale. Mr. Mashuga mentIoned the Department also sold eIght bottles
last year for a total of $1,600. Mr. Koollck stated those sales were
recorded In the 1991 budget. Counc II agreed to authorIze the sale
and the use of the funds for the radIo and pagers. The Department was
asked to come back with a proposal for the additional air bottles
after they have received the bids.
MOTION by Smith, Seconded by McKelvey, that we authorIze the FIre
Department to pay for the backordered pagers and radio, money to be
