LOT SPLIT/17025 ROUND LAKE BOULEVARD
MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Perry, introducing the Resolution
presented granting the lot split request of Maris and Barbara Schilling.
(See Resolution R292-93) Motion carried unanimously.
VARIANCE/1831 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD NW
MOTION by McKelvey, Seconded by Dalien, the Resolution approving the
variance requested by Steven Loudon to Ordinance No. 8, Section
4.05(B)(1) to allow for the construction of an addition to an accessory
structure exceeding the total square footage of land cover of the
principal structure on the property located at 1831 Crosstown Boulevard
NW. (See Resolution R293-93) DISCUSSION: Mr. Almgren explained the
addition is about two-thirds constructed already. Mr. Carlberg
explained the additional area will be used for general storage, not in
connection with the home occupation.
VOTE ON MOTION: YES-McKelvey, Dalien, Knight; NO-Jacobson, Perry
Motion carried.
Councilmember Jacobson did not think the age of the home constituted a
hardship to grant the variance. Councilmember Perry agreed. Mayor
McKelvey argued some variance is needed as the existing garage is so
small that today's cars cannot fit into it.
WITTINGTON RIDGE/APPEAL GEOTECHNICAL REPORT
Jerrv Windschitl, 3640 152nd Lane NW - is appealing the Andover Review
Committee's determination that they cannot build 155th Lane NW in
Wittington Ridge as presented by STS Consultants. In developing the
final plans for Wittington Ridge, they ran into soils conditions that
were more severe than originally thought. He then hired an expert in
this area, who did a complete evaluation of the crossing and prepared an
extensive report to the City to construct the road by placing a fabric
over the organic soils, surcharging the organic soils and monitoring the
settlements. Once the organic soils have consolidated, a portion of the
surcharge is removed and the standard street section is constructed.
Mr. Winds chit 1 stated the City's engineering consultant agreed with the
approach suggested by STS, yet the ARC Committee has denied the use of
that method. He argued this method has been used before by the county
where it has not been as successful as it should have been; however, the
county's reasoning is because it was not constructed correctly. The
county has subsequently used it in other areas and it was successful.
He asked the Council to allow him to build the road as presented by STS
and reviewed by the City's consultant, as that is the only viable way he
has of making that crossing. The peat is simply too deep to dig out.
It is a rural street that will have very little traffic, serving only
seven or eight lots.

Minutes - December 21, 1993

(Wittington Ridge/Appeal Geotechnical Report, Continued)
The Council discussed with Mr. Windschitl the specifics of the proposed
method of constructing 155th Lane, the concerns over the apparent lack
of success of this method when used by the county, and other options
available. The Council noted several places where this method had been
used by the county that resulted in the road sinking and extensive
repairs needed yearly. They did not know of any areas where it was
done by developers in a plat.
Mr. Windschitl argued this method was used by Andover several years ago
when constructing the new Crosstown Boulevard, and there have been no
problems in that instance. That road was done by the City under TKDA's
supervision. If the construction is done properly, it has been found
there are no problems. Mr. Stone only knew of this method being used on
county projects. With such a high percentage of failure, he stated the
Staff is concerned about the potential for high repair costs. With the
limited budget on street repairs, a problem on this street could
potentially use that entire budget. He didn't think the City can afford
to be installing the street using the proposed method. Also, with houses
being built next to the street, if repairs are needed, it would mean
coming right up to the houses. Mr. Almgren also felt that with a 75
percent failure rate, the City cannot afford to repair the road if it
sinks or the fabric rips. That can happen any time, and the warranty on
the road is for only one year.
Mr. Windschitl disagreed with Mr. Stone's comment, as there are no
houses being built in this area. He felt the decisions should be made by
the professionals, and both the experts and the City's engineering
consultant have agreed with the proposal. The secret to this technology
is making sure the work is done correctly up front. He stated he would
be willing to talk about something reasonable on an extension of the
warranty. He stated he simply has no other alternative because it is
impossible to dig out all of the peat. Councilmember Jacobson felt the
wording in the TKDA memorandum from Ralph Clare was cautious and guarded
and did not constitute a clear statement that this method is the one to
use. He was concerned that if there is a problem with the street, it
would be very difficult for the City to get the money to fix it. Also,
the warranty could not be extended without a substantial amount of
escrow, which would tie up a lot of money for several years. Mr. Haas
stated the ordinance requires a one-year warranty on the roads. This
method has not been used for any other local city street.
Mr. Windschitl said another option is to try to get right of way between
two lots coming out to 154th. He was willing to purchase it and build
the road, but he has been unable to get agreements from the property
owners. If the City would acquire the right of way, he stated he would
be willing to pay for the cost of the right of way and to build the stub
to 154th. Mayor McKelvey stated the neighborhood did not want a road to
go out to 154th. There is the possibility of not developing those back
lots until the property to the west or south develops. Mr. Windschitl
stated that property is in Ag Preserve, so there is no hope of
developing it in the foreseeable future.

(Wittington Ridge/Appeal Geotechnical Report, Continued)
Councilmember Jacobson was nervous with the TKDA memo because of so many
warning words. He didn't think the City can take that risk.
Councilmember Perry didn't find any assurances that the road will be
problem free for the City. Councilmember Knight stated there is no
question that this type of road is questionable. The potential is there
to financially strap the City if there is a problem unless there can be
an iron-clad warranty. Councilmember Dalien noted if the road fails, it
creates a liability for the City to get access to those lots to the
west.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, that the City Council, after
discussion on the issue in Wittington Ridge appeal on the Geotechnical
Report, the City Council concurs with the findings of the Andover Review
Committee and recommends that this different type of road construction
not be considered. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Windschitl asked what he is supposed to do with the property now.
Councilmember Jacobson suggested the front half of the property be
developed first, or privately buy the right of way to get an access to
the south, or come in from the north. Mayor McKelvey felt he should be
able to dig out the peat. Mr. Windschitl stated he is told he cannot
dig it out. He asked that this be decided on engineering fact, not on
emotions; as two engineering firms have stated this is an acceptable way
of doing it. The Council disagreed that TKDA was endorsing that method.
Attorney Hawkins also advised the City does not have an obligation to
make each piece of property in the City buildable. If the Council feels
the engineering report leaves some doubt about whether the road is
viable, then the property cannot be developed because there is no
adequate access to it. Also, he didn't think the City should have to
take the risk on having to repair the road if there are problems in the
future because of the peat.
INDIAN MEADOWS 4TH ADDITION SKETCH PLAN
Mr. Haas reviewed the proposed sketch plan of Indian Meadows 4th
Addition as requested by North Suburban Development. It is an R-l
Single Family development consisting of 30 lots. Park dedication has
already been given. He also reviewed the concerns and comments from the
Andover Review Committee, noting the revised sketch plan since the
December 14 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to provide for better
access for fire and police. The other concern is the three lots
proposed on the cul-de-sac on Zea Street NW, as the ordinance only
allows two lots to have frontage on cul-de-sacs. Allowing the
additional lot will set a precedent.
Mr. Haas also explained the reason for the ordinance change allowing
only two lots on a rural cul-de-sac is to be able to divide the parcels
to meet the 80-foot front setback line when sewer and water are
available. All three lots proposed by the developer easily meet the
39,000 square-foot requirement.

(Indian Meadows 4th Addition Sketch Plan, Continued)
Mayor McKelvey stated he definitely is not in favor of three lots on a
cul-de-sac. Councilmember Perry understood the difficulty with the
wetland, but she too preferred to have only two lots on the cul-de-sac.
Jeff Caine - stated none of the lots will require fill in the wetland,
though some fill will be needed to meet the basement elevation level.
Mr. Haas stated one road will need to cross the wetland, which will
require a permit plus mitigation. Because that road is needed to
provide better fire and police access, he suggested the City support
that wetland crossing. Mayor Mckelvey stated he would like to see the
road go through because it is needed for public safety. Councilmember
Jacobson stated he would be very reluctant to allow any variances on the
plat at all.
Mr. Caine - stated they have already removed three lots from the plat
that was originally presented because of the new wetlands act. They can
get the third lot on Zea Street by extending the road to the south, but
additional wetland would need to be filled and they would rather not do
that. All three proposed lots are oversized. The State has recommended
that cities work with the developers to save the wetland, and he felt
this is a good case to make an exception.
Jack Menkveld - stated 33 lots were previously approved, but 30 are now
being proposed. They have agreed to continue Eldorado, but it will
require the City's support of crossing the wetland and some mitigation
of wetland. The reason for proposing three lots on the cul-de-sac is to
avoid crossing the wetland. They would appreciate some bending on the
City's part to allow the three lots because of the wetlands.
Councilmember Jacobson again stated the ordinance should be followed and
that he would agree to only two lots on Zea Street.
After further discussion, the general feeling of the Council was a
suggestion to extend the Zea Street cul-de-sac further to accommodate
the three lots or to eliminate a lot. There were no further comments on
the proposed sketch plan.
NON-DISCUSSION ITEMS
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, approval of the following items:
13. Adopt 1994 Fee Schedules (See Resolutions R294-93 setting

Motion carried unanimously.
ADOPT 1994 SALARY PLAN
Councilmember Jacobson reviewed the salary plan for 1994 as approved by
the Personnel Committee. The recommendation included a larger increase
in two stages for the City Planner to bring that salary more in line
with the Stanton Report. In addition, a Building Inspector and the City
Clerk were given additional increases to equalize their salaries. There
were many housing units this year for the Building Inspectors; and
Andover's City Clerk does a number of other tasks that other city clerks
are not required to do.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to pass on that salary schedule
for 1994. Motion carried unanimously.
AMEND ORDINANCE 19
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, an Ordinance amending Ordinance
No. 19, an Ordinance adopting the Minnesota State Building Code. Motion
carried unanimously.
APPROVE GAMBLING EXEMPTION PERMIT/ANDOVER ALANO SOCIETY
MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Perry, to so move (approve a gambling
exemption permit to the Andover Alano Society for up to five events in
1994) Motion carried on a 4-Yes, l-No (Jacobson) vote.

PURCHASE OF COMPOST BINS
Cindy DeRuyter, Recycling Coordinator, asked that the item be continued
until she can obtain more information. Council agreed.
ORDINANCE 102 DISCUSSION/GARBAGE HAULERS
Ms. DeRuyter explained the Staff is recommending a limit to the number
of licensed garbage haulers in the interest of maintaining healthful and
sanitary conditions plus maintaining reasonable conditions of city
streets. Andover presently has nine licensed haulers, and the Council
is asked to consider limiting the number of licensed haulers to nine.
Many other cities have limited the number of haulers, and others have
organized collections, which limits the weight damage of the trucks on
city streets even further.
In discussing the issue, Councilmember Perry stated she would prefer to
limit the number of licenses rather than organize collections to one
hauler per area because of the problems with logistics of having both a
rural and urban area of the City. Councilmember Jacobson asked why does
government want to get involved in private industry. He is not in favor
of intruding into the marketplace and restraining trade. He stated he
has been assured that the roads have been constructed to be able to
handle the traffic; and if there is a problem with overweight garbage
trucks, the weight restrictions should be enforced. He felt more
information and more ideas from haulers is needed before making a
decision.
Ms. DeRuyter explained by limiting the number of haulers, the number of
trucks on the roads in the spring is also limited. Now with recycling,
it means two trucks pick up at one residence each week. As more people
move into Andover, more haulers will be applying for licenses. She
continued it is also a safety issue with many trucks on the streets with
children waiting for buses. Mr. Stone stated he would like to see the
number of haulers limited to nine or ten. Then if further consideration
is wanted on organizing collections, it can be referred to the Planning
Commission. Mr. Haas stated one fully loaded garbage truck is equal to
40,000 vehicles; and they do much of the damage to the roads in the
spring. By not limiting the number of haulers, it will cost the City in
the end.
After further discussion, the Council recommended the item be forwarded
to the Planning and zoning Commission to hold a public hearing on the
request to limit the number of garbage hauler licenses.
CHRISTMAS TREE CHIPPING UPDATE
Ms. DeRuyter updated the Council on the Christmas tree recycling and
chipping promotion and the Goodwill Donation trailers and the ACCAP
semi-trailer parked at the Andover Downtown Center on December 28 and
29.

DISCUSSION/STOP SIGN WARRANTS
Mr. Haas informed the Council that when installing stop signs or any
other type of sign, they must be in compliance with the Minnesota Manual
on Uniform Devices or it becomes a liability to the City if anything
happens. Numerous intersections have been signed with unwarranted stop
signs since 1986, and he asked for direction on what to do about them.
Anything installed without warrants since 1986 should be removed to
bring the City into compliance with the manual. He is locating every
unwarranted sign and plotting them on a City map.
Attorney Hawkins stated he had not had a chance to review the manual, so
he suggested he be allowed to study it to determine if the City has any
discretion in this matter.
MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson, to table this until the 2nd
meeting in January. Motion carried unanimously.
TRANSFER FUNDS/CITY HALL AND FIRE STATION IMPROVEMENTS
Mr. Sulander recommended the City Council approve the creation of the
Building Construction Fund and transferring $60,000 to the new Fund from
the General Fund. This would provide the segregation and accountability
for accumulating and expending the funds for future City Hall, Public
Works and Fire Station improvements or construction projects. Of the
$60,000, $50,000 was designated by the Council from building permit
revenues, and $10,000 is from the remaining Fire Department salaries and
benefits account.
The Council generally agreed to establishing the Building Construction
Fund, but did not want to specifically designate amounts for each
project. They preferred to maintain the Fund as a general fund to be
used as needed for the various City buildings. There was some
concerned raised over the large balance in the Fire Department salaries
and benefits accounts. Mr. Sulander explained there has been a cost
savings due to the implementation of the station response system. The
actual amount used from this account each year varies depending on the
number of calls.
MOTION by Perry, Seconded by Dalien, the Resolution authorizing the
transfer of funds dedicated to improvement or construction of City Hall,
Public Works or Fire Station buildings and the creation of a Building
Construction Fund, except that the last paragraph shall be changed so
that the third line ends, " . . . from the General Fund." Everything
from that point on would be stricken. (See Resolution R306-93) Motion
carried unanimously.

MAYOR-COUNCIL INPUT
Crime Watch Program - Councilmember Knight suggested in 1994 the City
look at restarting the Crime Watch Program, as he felt that is a very
valuable program for the residents. There was some discussion about
why the program has not been active lately, and the Council then agreed
to add the item to the agenda in early 1994. It was also suggested that
someone from Community Education in the school district be present to
discuss the item.
Combining Services with Other Communities - Councilmember Knight
suggested the City look at the feasibility of combining some services
with neighboring cities in an effort to save costs. Mayor McKelvey
stated he has been discussing some ideas with other cities and with the
North Metro Mayors' Association. Mr. Sulander stated there were grant
programs available for this type of program; however, any grants now
would be for 1995. He will look into grant programs further.
Trains Blocking Roads - Councilmember Jacobson reported another incident
of a train blocking Bunker Lake Boulevard at 5:15 this evening, where
traffic to the east was backed up to the Activity Center. Mr. Sulander
stated Staff has called Burlington Northern, and there have been some
positive results. He will call again on this incident.
APPROVAL OF CLAIMS
