Councilmembers present: Dalien, Jacobson, Knight, Perry Councilmembers absent: None Also present: City Attorney, William G. Hawkins City Planner, Dave Carlberg City Finance Director, Daryl Sulander City Administrator, James Schrantz Others SWEARING-IN CEREMONY Larry Dalien was sworn in as City Councilmember by Attorney Hawkins. RESIDENT FORUM Peter Rauen, 4110 147th Lane - represented the Andover Neighborhood Preservation Association. They were asked last week by City Staff to send a letter of support for the Eldorado crossing south of The Meadows of Round Lake. Their first concern is to be sure the Council and City does everything in their power to successfully negotiate that southern access, as the approval of the plat was based on having that crossing. From the information they received, it appears the City is taking the position that the only acceptable crossing is to fill the wetland. But the DNR has stated they are opposed to the fill. Another concern is the City presenting the issue as one of convenience only. But there are safety issues that should be addressed, especially at the intersection of 143rd and Round Lake Boulevard, noting some of the problems there. The residents would like to see something done about the high speed and no stop signs. He encouraged the City to ask for the support of Anoka County in this negotiation regarding the safety factors on both Round Lake Boulevard and Seventh Avenue and the concern for access for emergency vehicles to that area. They would also like an opportunity to participate in the meeting with the DNR. Mr. Schrantz stated he sent a copy of the notice to Lee Warneka of their organization. Anyone who wishes to testify must register to do so. The City's engineering and consulting engineering firm will both testify. He will talk to the county about testifying on the police and fire issue. Attorney Hawkins also explained it will be a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge in which testimony will be taken from both the DNR and City. It is not for negotiation, though he will negotiate further with the DNR if the City wishes. Mr. Schrantz stated the letters received from the DNR talk about a full-span bridge across the wetland. If they mean spanning the entire 400 feet, the cost of the bridge is beyond the City's ability to fund. (}'\~~<:17"' :'J...jQ./93 Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - January 19, 1993 Page 2 (Resident Forum, Continued) In further discussion, it was still the feeling of the Council that a southern exit is needed from The Meadows of Round Lake. The preference would be to fill and with some large culverts. If necessary, the City may be able to fund a short bridge similar to what was built on Crosstown Boulevard south of l39th; but they too felt a full-span bridge would not be possible to fund even with State Aid funds. Council also asked that before the hearing, the attorney obtain a clarification from the DNR as to what they would accept for a bridge across the wetland and pursue the culvert or 40- to 50-foot bridge option. AGENDA APPROVAL MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Perry, to approve the Agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously. APPROVAL OF MINUTES January 5, 1993, Regular: Correct as written. January 5, 1993, Special: Page 2, Second applicant on the page, correct to: Larry W. Dalien, 13443 Marigold Street NW. January 6, 1993, Special: Correct as written. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson, approval of the Minutes as corrected. Motion carried unanimously. LOT SPLIT/1101 161ST AVENUE NW MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson, the Resolution granting the lot split request of Gary and Susan Johnson, as presented. (See Resolution ROll-93) Motion carried unanimously. LOT SPLIT/16416 VALLEY DRIVE MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, the Resolution granting the lot split request of Larry Emmerich as prepared. (See Resolution R012-93) Motion carried unanimously. VARIANCE/14471 BLUEBIRD STREET NW Mayor McKelvey explained the Planning and Zoning Commission motion to approve the request was defeated; therefore, the recommendation is to deny the request. Mr. Carlberg explained the house was built prior to the amendment to the ordinance requiring an additional five-foot setback when sliding glass doors are facing the side yard. Prior to the amendment, the Building Department was not looking for this in the plans. They do now, so the problem should be eliminated in the future. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - January 19, 1993 Page 3 (Variance/14471 Bluebird Street NW) MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Perry, the Resolution denying the variance request of Builders Plus, Inc. to Ordinance No.8, Section 6.02 which requires a IS-foot sideyard setback from the interior lot line at 14471 Bluebird Street NW, as presented. (See Resolution R013-93) Motion carried unanimously. EXTEND SPECIAL USE PERMIT/RIVERDALE CHURCH MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by perry, the Resolution as presented with the following changes: in the very beginning, delete "granting" and insert "renewing"; Item 1, the "renewed" Special Use Permit; Item 2, the "renewed" Special Use Permit. (See Resolution R014-93) Motion carried unanimously. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DISCUSSION Mr. Carlberg summarized the Agenda report regarding the current status of the Andover Comprehensive Plan. The Metropolitan Council has moved that to put the Comprehensive plan Amendment into effect, the City must accept their recommendations to withdraw all MUSA expansion requests until the Highway 10 Corridor study is completed and implemented. The Metropolitan Council Staff did agree to allow the City to have another 100 acres included in the MUSA. In addition, the City must reinstate the bi-annual on-site septic system inspections. The Metropolitan Council is making the same demands on all the cities affected by the Highway 10 Corridor study. Mr. Carlberg also reported that he did an extensive report on the density in the rural portion of the City, which clearly showed the City does not conform to the Met Council's 1/10, 4/40 density requirement. As a result, it appears the rural density question is no longer an issue. Mr. Schrantz also stated Staff was pleased to be able to obtain the 100 acres in the MUSA to protect the City's investment in the sewer trunk line. The expanded MUSA will encompass the Pine Hills Estates, Weybridge, and Winslow Hills developments. The Council was concerned that the City is being forced to virtually stop development for an unspecified period of time, participate in a study of a transportation route that is not in the City, and use resident tax dollars of an unspecified amount for that study. Staff indicated that no dollar amount has been talked about in the meetings for the Corridor study, nor has a time period been discussed. The feeling is it could take three to five years or more before any plan is implemented. Mayor McKelvey stated another meeting on this matter is scheduled for next week, and he hoped some of the items will be addressed at that time. In addition, the Northern Metro Mayors' Association plans to lobby the legislators to make some changes to the Metropolitan Council Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - January 19, 1993 Page 4 (Comprehensive Plan Discussion, Continued) because of the Council's position of generally opposing development and improvements in the northern portion of the Metropolitan area. The Northern Metro Mayors' Association has approached the City to join them, which is an item he will be bringing to the Council shortly. The Council generally did not have a problem with Staff attending the meetings nor with providing all available data which has been compiled on the subject. But they noted a tremendous amount of money has already been spent in various studies and opposed the City being held hostage to another study. It was pointed out that the City does not have the financial resources nor does it have any authority over a state highway. In addition, 100 acres of development will provide lots for a year or so, and this project is expected to take years. The Council did not have a problem with changing the on-site septic system ordinance as requested by the Metropolitan Council. It was suggested that at this point the only alternative may be legal recourse or help from the State Legislature. Council agreed to table the item pending receipt of further information on the course of action to be taken by the Northern Metro Mayors' Association. MOTION by Perry, Seconded by Jacobson, to table this discussion until after the next meeting of the Northern Metro Mayor's Association, and it will be placed back on the next Council meeting agenda with a report from that meeting as to what possible recourse the communities have. Motion carried unanimously. ATV ORDINANCE DISCUSSION Mayor McKelvey explained the Planning Commission recommended no change regarding ATV's in the current ATV/Snowmobile Ordinance; however, it strongly recommended creating greater restrictions on snowmobile usage within the City. Several Councilmembers noted an increased number of calls regarding snowmobiles from all areas of the City, especially about the destruction on private property. Attorney Hawkins felt the problem is the enforcement of the ordinance, not the ordinance itself. There was some discussion on the problems of enforcing the ordinance. It was suggested that the next step would be to prohibit snowmobile use in the City if the problems cannot be corrected. Mr. Haas stated he has talked to the county about bringing their snowmobile unit into the City to saturate the area. They will put Andover high on their list to patrol. Councilmember perry suggested the snowmobile clubs be contacted regarding the problems with snowmobile usage; and inform them that either the problems be corrected or their usage will have to be prohibited, as the situation has gone beyond what people can tolerate. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, that the City Council concurs with the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, that no changes be made in the ATV Ordinance at this time. Motion carried unanimously. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - January 19, 1993 Page 5 (Comprehensive Plan Discussion, Continued) MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to suggest to the Planning and Zoning Commission to see if the saturation helps; but have the issue of strengthening the Snowmobile Ordinance on the Planning and Zoning Commission agenda some time prior to June of 1993 and ask them to hold public hearings and have input from snowmobile clubs, individuals, whomever is interested. At that time, during the summer, let the Council know if they feel there needs to be a strengthening of the ordinance or if the saturation has done its job and there doesn't need to be anything done. Come back with a recommendation early enough so it can be implemented in the fall so no one is surprised when the snow falls if they have to do something that is different. DISCUSSION: Ralph Anderson, 3183 140th Avenue - has made numerous calls to the Sheriff's office this year about snowmobiles. One of the Officers said they have two sleds available, which he didn't think would be adequate to saturate the area and correct the problem. He also didn't feel the snowmobile clubs could do anything since most of the problems are caused by young children or teens who do not belong to the clubs. Another problem he found was that the Officers are not familiar with Andover's ordinance. Every Officer he talked to suggested snowmobiles be banned from the City as they cannot enforce the ordinance. If they are banned, the Officers can stop them anywhere and tag them. Douq Inqstrom, 166th Avenue - is a snowmobiler. He stated part of the problem is the ordinance explanation of where they can ride is confusing. He asked if the snowmobiles can ride in the bottom of the ditches on a county road. Attorney Hawkins advised State Statute allows them to ride on the outside of the ditch in the same direction as the traffic, not on the bottom or inside toward the road. Mr. Inqstrom - asked if most of the problems are on weekends. Councilmembers stated it is all the time. Mr. Inqstrom - stated snowmobilers ride in his area and have not bothered the flags and stakes he put up. If people were fined for destroying property, the word would get out, which would go a long way to curbing the problem. With this much open area out here, he didn't feel they should be outlawed. Council discussed noted it is unfortunate that the irresponsibility of a few may cause everyone to lose the privilege. It was hoped that the county saturation and working through the snowmobile clubs would be successful, and that is why the Planning Commission is being directed to look at the issue. Council also asked Staff to place an article in the Andover Express on the ordinance requirements so that it is easily understood. They also asked for a report on the success of the county saturation. Motion carried unanimously. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - January 19, 1993 Page 6 EIDELWEISS STREET DISCUSSION Mayor McKelvey reported the county is staking out a road from Woodland Creek 3rd Addition south to Bunker Lake Boulevard so everyone can see exactly where the road would be. Woodland Development is holding two lots from their plat until the Task Force decides whether or not to put the road in. There have been concerns raised in opposition to a through street, as some feel the road would cause increased traffic through their neighborhood by people cutting north and then west to l40th and Round Lake Boulevard to avoid the intersection at the shopping center. Mayor McKelvey also directed Staff to notify the Task Force members of another meeting on February 9, 7:30 p.m., at the City Hall. He will report the results of that meeting to the Council. APPOINT STANDING COMMITTEES Mayor McKelvey recommended the following Council appointments to the Standing Committees: Road Committee - Knight, Chair, and Jacobson; Economic Development Committee - McKelvey, Chair, and Dalien; Public Safety Committee - Perry, Chair, and Knight; Personnel Committee - Jacobson, Chair, and McKelvey; Environmental Committee - Dalien, Chair, and Perry. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Dalien, the committee appointments as presented. Motion carried unanimously. APPOINT COMMISSION CHAIRS Mayor McKelvey recommended the Chairs of the Planning and Zoning and Park and Recreation Commissions remain the same. They are Bonnie Dehn to Chair the P & Z and Jeff Kieffer to Chair the Park Board. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Perry, to so move. DISCUSSION: There was some question as to whether or not the positions should be rotated every year. In the past the attempt has been to rotate the Chairmanship position. Council agreed to the recommendation but suggested that the position be rotated in the future. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, that it is the opinion of the Council that the Chairs should be rotated every even-numbered year. Motion carried unanimously. NON-DISCUSSION ITEMS MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, that the Council approve in the affirmative Agenda Items on the Meeting Agenda Items numbered: 10.

Nowak, Lyle Muehlbauer, Kevin Martin) Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - January 19, 1993 Page 7 (Non-Discussion Items, Continued) 11. Approve Water Resource Management Plan 16.

APPROVE SIGNAL/CROSSTOWN AND BUNKER LAKE BOULEVARDS The Council questioned the need for a signal at this intersection, feeling there are other areas in the City that are more of a problem. Also, since the county plans to upgrade Bunker Lake Boulevard within the next few years, if a signal is to be placed there, it should be a temporary one. Council asked for some justification for a signal at that intersection as opposed to other intersections such as l43rd and Round Lake Boulevard and 147th and Seventh Avenue. Also, it was suggested if a temporary signal is accepted, the City should start budgeting for the permanent one. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by perry, Council approve the installation of temporary signalization at the intersection of Bunker Lake Boulevard and Crosstown Boulevard on the condition that the county provide the City with justification that it does meet warrants. Motion carried unanimously. APPROVE BIDS/RECYCLING PICK UP Cindy DeRuyter, Recycling Coordinator, reviewed the bids for removing recyclables from the Recycling Building. The cost of the low bid will actually result in less cost to the City than the current pickup with Staff help. There are sufficient funds to do this. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - January 19, 1993 Page 8 (Approve Bids/Recycling Pick Up, Continued) MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Perry, to accept the bid of Super Cycle as the cheapest and Pretzel for the cardboard, for a total cost of $3,789 per year. Motion carried unanimously. MANNING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE RECYCLING CENTER Cindy DeRuyter, Recycling Coordinator, asked the Council to hire Wayne Patchen, retired City employee, to maintain the Recycling Center on a regular basis at $8.94/hour. During the summer the time would be more than in the winter, though it should average about six hours a week. She would be responsible for scheduling the hours. The Boy Scouts have been doing this; however, it has not worked out. She has informed the Scouts of the intent to hire someone to maintain the building. MOTION by Perry, Seconded by Dalien, that the City Council authorize the hiring of Wayne Patchen at the rate of $8.94 per hour to work in the Recycling Center on a regular basis as scheduled by Cindy DeRuyter, the Recycling Coordinator. Motion carried unanimously. APPROVE LICENSE FEES/GARBAGE HAULERS Cindy DeRuyter, Recycling Coordinator, asked for direction regarding the amount of the license fee for garbage haulers. The intent of the fees is to let the haulers know what is expected of them. Council questioned why there would be a charge per truck. Frank Stone, Public Works Supervisor, stated the garbage trucks are wrecking the City's streets. Weight restrictions are not followed and oil is leaked onto the street, and he felt the City could control this through the licensing. Council noted that licensing implies some sort of compliance, which in turn implies some supervision. Ms. DeRuyter stated her criteria would be to receive cooperation and compliance with reporting requirements, insurance, etc. MOTION by Perry, Seconded by Jacobson, that we set the fee at $25 for each license issued per year and that they submit proof of insurance. DISCUSSION: Councilmember Knight asked the cost of enforcing the ordinance. Staff did not know but suggested it should be reviewed yearly. Council suggested Ms. DeRuyter check with other cities as to their reason for licensing the garbage haulers per truck. Councilmembers Jacobson and Perry Withdrew the Second and the Motion. Ms. DeRuyter reported the City exceeded the 1992 goal for recycling tonnage. Mr. Stone suggested the City consider budgeting for recycling as the county and state funding may not always be available. Mayor McKelvey asked for a motion to continue this item to the next meeting. MOTION by Perry, Seconded by Jacobson, to so move. Motion carried unanimously. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - January 19, 1993 Page 9 APPROVE REVISED GRADING PLAN/HIDDEN CREEK EAST 5TH Mr. Haas explained they are seeing more and more exchanging and mitigation because of the 1991 wetland legislation, plus there is a new rule effective July, 1993. The study has already been done for storm water for the proposed Commercial Boulevard, and the existing pond will need to be enlarged to accommodate both the road and the adjacent commercial properties. Only the area on the west side of the pond will be dredged. Mr. Schrantz stated since the City must excavate for that project, if someone else can use the fill, it will save the City the cost of having it hauled away. The drainage easements for this already exist. The Staff has advised that the excavation be done as a revised grading plan to the plat rather than the developer having to apply for a mining permit. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Dalien, the Resolution approving the revised grading plan for Hidden Creek East 5th as presented by the Staff to allow for wetland mitigation. (See Resolution R023-93) Motion carried unanimously. APPROVE CHANGE ORDER 11/IP92-4/WINSLOW HILLS 2ND Mr. Schrantz explained that either the developer's engineer or the City's consulting engineer will pay for the additional amount. The contractor did the work and deserves to be paid for it. All costs will be assessed, so the City will not pay for this change. MOTION by Perry, Seconded by Knight, approve the Contract Change Order No.1, Project 92-4, in the amount of $11,835, as presented. Motion carried unanimously. APPROVE CHANGE ORDER IP/IP92-2/WEYBRIDGE 2ND Mr. Schrantz explained the $3,500 for gravel will come from the Sewer Trunk fund. The gravel was placed on the road that was built over the trunk line to be able to service the line. Councilmember Jacobson questioned whether the cost should be put into the project since it is the City's expense. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Perry, to approve the Contract Change Order No. 2, Project 92-2. Motion carried on a 4-Yes, 1-Present (Jacobson) vote. MAYOR/COUNCIL INPUT Councilmember Perry asked about the national conference for Mr. Sulander. Staff explained the cost is inc1 uded in this evening's Schedule of Bills. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - January 19, 1993 Page 10 (Mayor/Council Input, Continued) Attorney Hawkins asked about the legal descriptions to acquire the easements for the proposed Commercial Boulevard. Mr. Schrantz stated the descriptions will be prepared as soon as the feasibility report is accepted, which is on the next agenda. Attorney Hawkins advised the Council that a settlement has been reached in the wi edema litigation for the amount of the bond. Mayor McKelvey stated the cost is $3,000 for the City to join the North Metro Mayors' Association. He will look into a source of funding and bring the matter back to the Council for consideration. APPROVAL OF CLAIMS MOTION by Perry, Seconded by Knight, the Schedule of Bills of 1-15-93 in the amount of $708,727.53. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Knight to adjourn. Mayor McKelvey declared the meeting adjourned at 10:01 p.m. Respectfully submitted, ~~=~ Ma ella A. Peach Recording Secretary
