RESIDENT FORUM
Dick Lachinski. President. Andover Javcees - explained the
organization Is just getting organized In Andover, and they are
lookIng for Ideas and activIties that they can get Involved In with
- the City. He also InvIted members of the Council to speak wIth them
about the actIvities that are avaIlable. Mayor Orttel stated there
are many opportunitIes availab]e and agreed to come to their meetIng
on Monday, June 8.
Winslow Holasek. 1159 Andover Bou]evard NW - stated he Is aware of
the odd-even waterIng ban, but he dldn/t know It applied to new
instal lations of sod. Most communitIes exempt newly laid sod for
about three weeks because It has to be watered every day or It wiIJ
dIe. Mr. Schrantz stated Blaine exempts it for two weeks; however,
the problem is Andover is runnIng out of water. Mayor Orttel stated
the City is in the process of drIllIng a new we]], but he agreed that
sod Is a substantial investment which they should be allowed to
protect. He stated the City will look at that further.
Ron Britz. 14386 Raven Street NW - expressed dIssatIsfactIon wIth
what Is happening In theIr development In KensIngton Estates 1st
Addition, prlmari]y along 145th Avenue, Raven Street and Uplander
Street. He presented a petItIon sIgned by a number of resIdents which
expresses their concerns about the valuatIon of some of the homes
being built around them. When he purchased, he did so wIth the
understanding that the remaInIng homes In the area would be buIlt In
the same prIce range, wIth compatible architectures, and of the same
,- qualIty. They do not feel that has been done and have had no
satisfaction In talking wIth the developer. Their main concern is
that the homes now beIng buIlt will devalue the investment they have
in their own homes. They feel there may have been fraudulent
mIsrepresentatIon about what wIll be done In the development when they
bought their propertIes.

Minutes - June 2, 1992

(Resident Forum, ContInued)
Mayor Orttel stated he has spoken to several resIdents and to Mr.
Windschi t I. Most of those items are controlled by covenants by the
developer, not by the City, though the CIty does have very high
standards for housIng. Mr. BrItz admItted the covenants do not state
a minimum value on the homes, but they were told when buying that al I
houses would be compatIble. Attorney HawkIns thought It was a
prIvate matter, as the CIty's role Is to see that the ordinances are
enforced.
Mr. BrItz stated as resIdents they are not happy with the developer
and hoped the Council would keep that in mind when working with him in
the future. Mayor Orttel stated in vIewIng the areas in question, he
found the houses to be very satisfactory. He believed they all exceed
both ordinance requirements and the developer covenants.
Jerrv Windschitl. 3640 152nd Lane - stated the companies they are
complaining about have won Reggie Awards In this project. He also
refuted the charges made by Mr. Britz regarding specific homes,
stating the houses are large and high priced. He cannot control
someone wantIng to put cedar sidIng on a house just because someone
else in the neighborhood doesn't like it. He also stated he has no
way of knowing what other builders are goIng to say or not say to
prospective clIents. They don't try to offend people, stating he
would be happy to show anyone the homes in questIon. The one house on
Raven Circle is in the $120,000 range, but the owner has chosen to
leave the lower portion unfinished at this time. Once it is finished,
I t wi II be in the $140,000 range. He also has had a polIcy that he
wi II not let one buIlder have access to another builder's plan,
feeling that is privileged informatIon. Mayor Orttel noted thIs is
a private matter but suggested the developer meet wIth the resIdents
who have concerns. Such communication often elImInates many of the
problems.
John Arnold. 14385 NW Raven - stated the most important thing he has
learned is to have a good builder and to know what the developer has
for a vision for his development. He expressed hIs concerns to Mr.
Wi ndsch i t I , asking him to work with the people who live In that
development, to meet wIth them and discuss problems and concerns.
There are genuine concerns by the residents about the development.
AGENDA APPROVAL
It was agreed to add Item 4a, MetropolItan Council Management
Standards: and to move Item 3, Commercial Boulevard DIscussIon, to be
discussed after Item 4.
MOTION by Perry, Seconded by SmIth, to approve the Agenda as
amended. Motion carried unanImously.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES
May 19, 1992: Correct as wrItten.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by McKe]vey, to approve them as
presented. Motion carrIed unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING/ANDOVER BOUNDARY COMMISSION PLAT #1
8:06 p.m. Attorney Hawkins revIewed the background of the plat
formerly known as AudItor's Subdivision No., 82. He noted If thIs is
approved by the Counci], he should be directed to fIle a petItIon with
DistrIct Court to approve the boundary lInes as established In the
p]at.
The hearing was opened for publIc testImony.
John ZilIhardt. 3753 145th Avenue NW - stated he spoke agaInst the
procedure two years ago because he had just received the sewer
assessments and he dId not need another $500 assessment. Now he Is
asking why this was done. He doesn't plan to move for at least 14
years, but it seems the people wantIng thIs are those who wanted to
leave Subdivision No. 82. He explaIned that mIstakes have been made
in surveying before, but correctIons were not made In thIs manner. It
was hIs contentIon that all thIs could have been avoIded if the
neighbors would have agreed on what each one had for a lot. New
surveys cou]d have been done and corrections made with quit c]aim
deeds and avoided these costs. If everyone would have understood
this, he felt this process and cost could have been avoided. Mayor
Ortte] stated the City would have preferred that. However, this
process is considerably less expensive than what some have paid to get
the problem reso]ved.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, to c]ose the pub]ic hearing.
Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION by Perry, Seconded by Smith, the ResolutIon approvIng the
preliminary plat of Andover Boundary CommissIon Plat #1 located in
Section 29, Township 32, Range 24 as presented, and directing the CIty
Staff to petItion the DIstrIct Court for approva]. (See Resolution
R079-92) MotIon carrIed unanImously, 8:13 p.m.
AWARD ALTERNATE BID/IP92-2/WEYBRIDGE 2ND ADDITION
Mr. Davidson stated he prepared a change order for jacking water and
sanitary sewer under the ral]road tracks for the property east of the
tracks that Jerry Windschlt] owns. The Counc I 1 has asked that they
make a recommendatIon on fInancing the project. It Is outsIde the
MUSA area at this tIme. Mr. Schrantz stated he converted the area
assessment costs to credIts In acres.

Minutes - June 2, 1992
Page 4
(Award Alternate Bid/IP92-2/Weybrldge 2nd AddItion, Continued)
Jerrv Windschitl - stated the costs could be assessed as trunk area
charges to the buildable area east of the railroad tracks and collect
it at the time the property develops. If the City wIshes to collect
the money earlier, he is wIlling to have the buildable property east
of the tracks assessed the area sewer and water charges but pay for
them with the Weybridge assessments. He recognizes they would have no
rIght to the sewer until it Is included in the MUSA, but it Is
important that the jacking be done at this tIme. ThIs area is the
first prIority for sanitary sewer In the CIty's ComprehensIve Plan.
Mr. Schrantz explaIned the costs would be assessed wIth the Weybrldge
plat and credIt would be given In the future of so many acres on the
east sIde of the railroad tracks for sewer and water. The Counci I
generally agreed with the proposal but wanted It made clear that thIs
does not commit the CIty to rezoning or IncludIng that property In the
MUSA in the future. The owner Is proceedIng entIrely at hIs own rIsk.
Attorney Hawkins stated that can be wrItten In a development contract.
Mr. Windschitl agreed.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Smith, the Resolution acceptIng bids
and awarding contract for the Improvement of Project IP92-2 as
presented, with the additIon to the ResolutIon subject to legal
agreement between the City and the developer for payments of
Alternates 1 and 2 which would be recoverable as an independent charge
in Weybridge 2nd AddItion. (See Resolution R080-92) MotIon carrIed
unanimously.
DECLARE DOG "BITING DOG"
Mayor Orttel stated at the time the CouncIl was taking actIon on thIs
item at the May 26 meeting, the owner claImed the dog and certIfIed
that the dog's rabies shots were current. The owner of the dog was
notified of the pendIng Council actIon to declare It a "bIting dog".
Bonnie LeslIe. 3912 North Enchanted - mother of the girl that was
bi t. She stated this is the second tIme in less than a year that she
is before the Council because one of her chIldren was bIt by a dog.
There is warnIng after warnIng given for dogs running lose in the
neighborhood, but it doesn't cost them anything and they do not abide
by the laws. She noted several dog-related IncIdents and showed
pictures of dogs running through her yard. She asked If there Is
somethIng that can be done to get people to comply wIth the laws.
Mayor Orttel suggested the deputIes be asked to start IssuIng tags in
that neIghborhood. The deputIes should also be asked If they monItor
who is given warnings. The deputIes are also very frustrated by the
many dogs that are not I I censed. Counc I 1 also expressed frustratIon
over the problem of contractIng wIth an anima] control agency. They
asked Staff to check agaIn wIth the Anoka County Humane SocIety.

- COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD DISCUSSION
Mayor Orttel reviewed the background of the proposed Commercial
Boulevard through the commercial area. The immediate concern is the
placement of that road Is crucIal in resolvIng the fencing problem of
Andover Auto Parts. Mr. Carlberg explaIned the map before the CouncIl
shows CommercIal Boulevard comIng between Andover Auto Parts and
Commercial Auto Parts, contInuIng across Jay Street east to Hanson
Boulevard. The CouncIl must decIde whether the road should fork north
or south as It approaches Hanson Boulevard, because an expensIve
buIlding would need to be removed If It were to go dIrectly east.
West of Jay Street, with the road in this location, there would be a
buffer area to the south before the Hurst property, whIch is planned
for single-familY residential. That buffer could be office-type
bui Idings. There could stIlI be a berm along the property line south
of Andover Auto Parts before the resIdential housIng. The road would
be built wIth TIF funds and possibly the sale of other G.O. bonds. It
might be phased or done section by sectIon.
Discussion was on the development of the proposed commercial park area
i tsel f. Mayor Orttel felt It is Important that the City continue on a
redevelopment plan, though the City may not be dIrectly Involved with
the buying and sellIng of lots. Staff noted if CommercIal Boulevard is
run along the property line of Andover Auto Parts and the Hurst
property, there would not be enough room to develop lots on the south
side. Councilmember McKelvey stated it would create a problem for the
bus company if Jay Street Is closed off to the south of CommercIal
Boulevard as is beIng proposed unless Commercial Boulevard is put in
between Jay Street and Hanson Boulevard.

Minutes - June 2, 1992
Page 6
(Commercial Boulevard Discussion. Continued)
Don Boeke - stated the buses should never have to go down Jay Street
to get to Hanson BouJevard, but they stIlI do. But the worst Is the
trucks from the junkyards on certaIn days. Once It is bJacktopped,
he dIdn't feel that truck traffIc could be stopped from going south on
Jay Street unJess It Is cut off by a cul-de-sac. Counci Imember
McKeJvey stated if CommerclaJ Bouelvard is constructed between Jay and
Hanson, there would be no need to go south on Jay Street except to
pick up the children from that area. The bus company would like to
see that portion of CommerclaJ Boulevard done now.
Staff felt it is Important that an alIgnment for Commercial Boulevard
be determined so development can work around It. Mayor Orttel stated
if the road is placed between Andover Auto Parts and the Hurst
property but entIrely to the north of the property ] Ine, the City
could negotiate with Mr. Pears regardIng the easement for the road,
the berming and the fencing to offset some of hIs costs. He felt that
wouJd basically mean buyIng the whoJe busIness. He a]so suggested
Staff be sure that an alignment for Commercial Boulevard not involve
any wetlands. Mr. Schrantz fe]t the next step for constructing
CommercIa] Boulevard would be from Jay Street to Hanson Bou]evard.
Jerrv Windschitl - stated the whole area, east and west of Jay
Street, Is in the process of being developed. The key Item whIch
wi] I change the character of how that area is developed is the
Council's positIon on Jay Street. If I t wi I I be a cu]-de-sac, the
developer wou]d develop wIth lots fronting on It. If the thought is
Jay Street wI I ] a through street, the area may be developed wIth sIde
yards on Jay Street dependIng on the sIze the street wlJ] be.
Everyone Is proceeding on the basIs that Jay Street wIll be a
cul-de-sac. Mr. Schrantz stated Staff thInks it wi I I be a State AId
street south to Commercial Bou]evard; from there to 133rd It wII] be a
residential street. It may connect to Commercial Boulevard, but that
southern portion would be residentIal whIch may have to be posted for
no truck traffIc If there is a problem. The City may want it to
remaIn connected for circulation, pol ice, fIre, etc.
After further discussion, Counc i I agreed that no actIon would be taken
at this time for Commercial Boulevard from Jay Street west because of
the cost, and Andover Auto Parts wIll be required to fence the
southern property line abuttIng the Hurst property per ordInance
requirements, though a berm would be better because it is more
permanent and naturaJ. While going to the east, the Counc I I dIdn't
have a problem wIth either option, depending on which one is most cost
effect I ve. It was also suggested that the properties be appraIsed as
to the cost for right of way for both the alIgnment suggested by Staff
and an a]ignment along the southern edge of Andover.
The Counc i ] also agreed that Jay Street south of the proposed
CommercIal Boulevard would be resIdentIal and that houses can front on
- ,-,~-------~-.~

(Commercial Boulevard DIscussIon, ContInued)
it to help pay for it, though the Mayor tended to prefer that the
street not be separated with a cU]-de-sac. He felt that not allowing
trucks south along Jay Street would keep it residential, and the
residents would stIlI be ab1e to travel north wIthout having to leave
the City fIrst.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Smith, that we authorIze the City
Attorney to engage a good qualIty appraiser and supply the appraiser
wi th the routes we have been dlsucssing. Generally the route we would
be interested is an aO-foot wIde strIp denoted by roughly the orange
on the map and have him look at It and have hIm tell us what it would
cost to acquIre, and If there are any other specIal costs that he
could determIne that wouJd be Involved In the acquIsItIon, and let us
know about them too. The money fOr thIs would be comIng out of our
TIF Funds budget. A]so, look at the road west of Jay Street on the
southern border of Andover Auto Parts, not ImpactIng the Hurst
property at all. MotIon carried unanImously.
METROPOLITAN COUNCIL MANAGEMENT STANDARDS
Mr~ Carlberg reported the Metropolitan CouncIl Is requIrIng the City
to adopt management standards to protect wetlands and area surface
water qua]ity before they will approve any more Minor Amendments or
the Comprehensive Plan. Those are plans the Metropolitan CouncIl
Staff are proposing to be ImpJemented in the future. The City already
does Numbers 1 and 2 on the ResoJutlon, though No. 3 is the problem.
The concern is by adopting this policy, it may bInd the City to a
polley which might not be what is ultlmateJy approved by the Met
CouncIl. The Resolution now shows the City will adopt those standards
after the Metropolitan Council does.
Chuck Cook. deve]ocer of Pinewood Estates - stated they have
accomplIshed the pre-settJing of runoff In theIr plat.
Garv Gorham. Winslow Hills 2nd - stated they are havIng a hard time
trying to accomplIsh thIs, but they are working on It wIth the Coon
Creek Watershed Board and wIll know more later.
Winslow Holasek - dIdn't understand the requirement, as wetlands are
a natural filter, that they use the nutrients and get out the
pol lutants so It doesn't go into the aquifer. And now they are beIng
told not to draIn into them. It's a contradIction. Mr. DavIdson also
revIewed what Is being asked now, expressIng frustratIon over the
number of agencIes tryIng to contro] surface water management, each
requIrIng permIts, plan reviews, etc.

(MetropolItan Council Management Standards, ContInued)
After further discussIon, the Counc i I reluctantly agreed to the
Resolution as prepared by staff to Implement the pre-settlement of
runoff in sedImentation basIns pLioL to the discharge of runoff to
wetland when the MetropolItan Council implements the management
standards; but they asked that the CIty's MetLopolltan Council
representative and the CouncIl Chairperson be contacted indicating the
CIty's fLustratlon over this beIng forced upon the CIty pLioL to their
even holding hearIngs on the proposal and because the Met Council
keeps changIng the Lules. Also explaIn that some of what they are
asking just isn't feasible to do.
MOTION by Perry, Seconded by McKelvey, IntroducIng the Resolution
adoptIng the recommendation of the MetropolItan CouncIl as presented
except in the fIfth WHEREAS, the wOrds "as Lequested by the
Metropo I i tan Counc I I " would be deleted; and the ResolutIon that Is
being recommended is the one wIth the revIsed proposal for Item No. 3.
(See Resolution R084~92) MotIon carrIed on a 4-Yes, I-No (Jacobson,
as he felt they aLe trying to railroad the CIty Into this) vote.
FIRE DEPARTMENT 20-YEAR APPARATUS REPLACEMENT PLAN
Fire Chief Dale Mashuga Leviewed the 20-year plan to Lefurblsh and
replace Fire Department apparatus. He noted the mistake undeL U9,
which should show 1992 for the year for refurbishIng. They do not
have a financing plan for this. He stated that after the
refurbishing, hopefully the vehIcle will last longer than expected.
Counc I I noted that if a vehIcle is stl I] functioning In the yeaL
slated for replacement, it does not necessarily have to be rep]aced
that yeaL. Chief Mashuga agreed, noting thIs is an oveLal1 guide.
AfteL some discussIon, the Counc I I also suggested the other
Departments In the City deteLmlne a similiar plan for appaLatus
replacement, then establIsh a fInancing plan for the CIty for all
Departments, whether it is a sInkIng fund, an overlevy OL a
combination of both. The Counc i I also agreed sinkIng funds should be
set up for each of the Departments and that a CapItal EquIpment
Replacement Plan should be establIshed.
Chief Mashuga asked if the Counc i I Is getting all the Information from
the Fire Department. Counc II suggested that Information go to the
PublIc Safety CommIttee, that Is Councllmembers McKelvey and Jacobson.
Chief Mashuga stated he wIll be on vacation for 2 1/2 weeks, and
Assistant Chief Jim PIerson wi I I be in charge during that time.

RECEIVE FEASIBILITY REPORT/IP92-3/PINEWOOD ESTATES
Mr. Davidson reviewed the drainage in the vIcinity of Andover and
Hanson Boulevards. They told the developer he would have to acquire
drainage rights across the wetland to the southwest corner of his
plat. Mr. Cook made that attempt and was denied. He felt the only
way to protect the CIty and others would be to condemn those draInage
rIghts across that parcel. After a brIef discussion, the Counc I I
asked Mr. Schrantz to negotIate fUrther wIth the landowner in an
attempt to obtain the draInage rIghts wIthout havIng to go through
condemnatIon.
RECEIVE FEASIBILITY REPORT/IP92-10/PHEASANT MEADOWS
Mr. Davidson reviewed the feasibility report for utility Improvements
in the proposed Pheasant Meadows plat. The estImated cost per lot is
$11,000 based on 24 lots. The four lots facIng Jay Street would be
served from the south and assessed the area charges now, but the
lateral benefit and connectIon charges would be charged in the future.
They haven't studIed the 10 acres to the north, but a portIon of that
could be servIced through thIs plat.
Jerrv Windschi t1 - didn't receive the feasIbility report until
today. They wIll be submItting their concerns in wrItIng, but they
are concerned that the natural drainage rIghts from their property is
beIng interrupted, and there is a signIfIcant amount of excess water
being dumped onto his property. He is aSking hIs engineer to submit
engIneering data to get the storm water Issue resolved up front. Mr.
Davidson stated they dIdn't have the benefit of Mr. Wlndschltl's
proposed development to the south when they dId the feasibility
report. Most of his property Is in the Coon Rapids draInage area to
the south. This was discussed at the Staff level, but they haven't
been able to talk wIth all of the developers In that area.
The Counc I 1 suggested a meeting be called of everyone who Is
developIng property In that vicInIty to resolve some of these Issues.
It would aJso be cheaper for the developers If they could work
together. In the mean tIme, Mr. Wlndshltl's engIneer wIll be
reviewing the report and dIscuss theIr concerns wIth Mr. DavIdson. If
need be, Mr. DavIdson can ask for alternatIves In the bIds, so thIs
process can proceed at thIs tIme.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Smith, the Resolution accepting the
feasibility study, waIving publIc hearIng, orderIng Improvement and
directIng preparation of plans and specifIcations for Project IP92-10
as presented. (See Resolution R085-92) MotIon carrIed unanImously.
