REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - JANUARY 19, 1993
MINUTES
The Regular Bi-Monthly Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to
order by Mayor Jack MCKelvey on January 19, 1993, 7:30 p.m., at the
Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota.
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.

Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - January 19, 1993

(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.

Minutes - January 19, 1993

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:

(See Resolution R022-93)
32. Release Escrow/Holmberg Addition
Motion carried unanimously.
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.

Minutes - January 19, 1993

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

(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
