RESIDENT FORUM
Kathy Lawrence, 1540 139th Lane - has lived in Andover about three years
and related a problem she has had with Harefield Farms, Inc., a company
which has a Special Use Permit in the City of Andover. The company is
not honoring their warranty on three spruce trees she purchased from
them. Ms. Lawrence related the confrontations she has had with the
owner which included his swearing and derogatory remarks made toward
her. She stated the owner is not good for his word, does not back his
guarantees, plus no customer should have to put up with that kind of
verbal abuse. She felt that because the City has permitted this
business, it should be aware of what kind of operation is being run and
how the customers are treated. Mayor McKelvey stated the City will be
dealing with the business when it comes up for the renewal of the
Special Use Permit.

SPECIAL USE PERMIT/3118 162ND LANE NW/FENCE WITH SECURITY ARM
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, the Resolution granting the
Special Use Permit request of Ace Solid Waste to construct a six-foot
chain link fence with an additional one-foot barbed wire security arm,
in the affirmative. (See Resolution Rlll-93) DISCUSSION:
Dennis Richerdson, Ace Solid Waste - stated the fence is for security.
They have had vandalism to the trucks in the past plus people bring
trash into their facility, and they are getting new computers.
Motion carried unanimously.
CROWN POINTE SKETCH PLAN
Mr. Haas reviewed the comments of the Andover Review Committee for the
proposed sketch plan of Crown pointe as presented by Ashford Development
Corporation. The plan before the Council differs from the one presented
to the Planning commission. A concern of the Commission was the one-
half cul-de-sacs, and the new sketch plan has eliminated them. Plus the
angles of the streets are different to avoid placing the street over the
existing natural gas pipeline.
Council comments included: 1) A concern that there is only one exit
from the plat which will have over 45 homes. Mr. Haas explained there
is no other way to serve the parcel because of the railroad tracks, Coon
Creek and the wetlands around it. As a local residential street, the
standard is not to exceed 500 vehicles coming out at one point. That
standard would not be violated in this subdivision.
2) A question over the desirability of the park land extending north
along the railroad tracks from the park area in the southwest corner.
Mr. Haas explained the park extends to the cul-de-sac to provide access.
The proposal will be discussed by the Park Commission on June 3, 1993.
3) A question as to whether this parcel should be developed to the R-4
density. Mr. Haas explained the City constructed the watermain under the
railroad tracks to serve this property. The Fire Department made no
comments about the one access to the area. No further action was taken.
WITTINGTON RIDGE SKETCH PLAN
Mr. Haas reviewed the proposed sketch plan of Wittington Ridge as
requested by Ashford Development Corporation to develop 21 rural
residential lots. The property is currently not in the MUSA, but the
City has constructed the trunk sanitary sewer to a maximum depth to
eventually serve these parcels. The developer wishes to discuss the
possibility of allowing variances for five lots because of possible
wetlands. The exact boundaries of the wetlands has not yet been
delineated. The Planning Commission preferred to reserve comment on the
possible variances until more specific information is known.
Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - June 1, 1993
Page 3
(Wittington Ridge Sketch Plan, Continued)
Council comments included: 1 ) A question on the setback requirements
for the cul-de-sac lots in the northeast corner. Mr. Haas explained the
lot frontage is to be 160 feet at the 40-foot line.
2 ) A comment that variances are needed in some instances to determine
lot frontage. Mr. Carlberg agreed, though in the past the City has
allowed lots to front on the long side.
3) Mayor McKelvey was concerned about the elevation of the plat, as the
house to the north has water problems. He discussed his preference with
the developer that the area wait for development until sewer and water
is available. Mr. Windschitl told him if utilities were available
within the next few years, he would be willing to wait. The Mayor
continued that until the Metropolitan Council indicates to the City
whether or not it will be allowed the 600 acres of MUSA expansion within
the next three years, the City does not know when those utilities will
be available. He was also concerned about the ability to place septic
systems on this property and felt this property isn't feasible for 2
1/2-acre lots. Councilmember Perry also noted there has been water
problems in that entire vicinity and was concerned about the ability to
develop on this property.
4) Questions on how the lots are affected by the wetlands and the
developer's suggestion for variances on lot widths. The preference of
the Council was to reserve comment on any variances until the wetlands
can be delineated. There were no further comments.
LARSON SKETCH PLAN
Mr. Haas reviewed the proposed sketch plan requested by Jed Larson for
four rural lots. The intent is to dedicate the easement for Eldorado
Street as right of way and construct the street according to City
standards. The cul-de-sac will have to be shifted further west so it is
entirely on the Larson property to avoid condemnation from the adjoining
parcel.
Council comments included: 1) The question of the number of lots to be
assessed for the construction of Eldorado Street NW. Mr. Haas explained
an eyebrow cul-de-sac will be constructed on the end.
Jed Larson - stated if Eldorado is constructed, it provides a benefit to
the duplex at the end of 166th. He felt the owner of the duplex should
be assessed, that he should not have to pay for their benefit. If the
duplex property is not assessed, he felt the City should pick up a
portion of the cost because the benefit is not totally his and because
the City has an obligation to provide emergency services for those in
the duplex. Attorney Hawkins advised the City policy is to assess
people who abut the roadway. It would be difficult to prove a market
value increase for the duplex because of the improvement of Eldorado
Street.

Minutes - June 1, 1993
Page 4
(Larson Sketch Plan, Continued)
Mr. Haas pointed out the driveway for Parcel No. 3 located in the
northeast corner of the intersection of l66th and Eldorado Street would
be assessed if the driveway came out to Eldorado. It would not be
assessed if the driveway came out to 166th Avenue. After some
discussion, it was generally felt the location of the garage was such
that the access would be from Eldorado, though it should be inspected to
verify it. Also, the short side of the parcel faces Eldorado. If is a
buildable lot, the Council felt there would be five lots to assess for
the construction of Eldorado.
2) The question of constructing l66th Avenue at the same time rather
than leaving a short undeveloped road. Mr. Haas noted only a portion of
Parcel No. 3 would be assessed. There are no assessable parcels to the
south and there are only two parcels on the end. It would be very
expensive to do. No Council decision was made on this issue.
3) Mr. Larson asked whether a variance would be granted if the cul-de-
sac on Eldorado exceeds 500 feet. Mr. Haas didn't think it would exceed
the requirement because that measurement begins at the intersection of
166th Avenue and Eldorado. There were no further Council comments.
IP93-10 FEASIBILITY REPORT DISCUSSION/SUPERAMERICA
Mr. Haas reviewed the proposed addendum to the feasibility report for
Project 93-10, SuperAmerica located at the northeast corner of Hanson
Boulevard and Bunker Lake Boulevard. The request is to reduce the area
of benefit to that portion of the parcel which will be developed for
SuperAmerica. He explained the cost to the City remains the same. The
oversizing costs will come from the Trunk, Source, and Storage fund.
The cost of extending the water line to the north along Hanson Boulevard
will be borne by the properties to the north when they develop.
SuperAmerica will not be assessed again, as this assessment will be for
the narrow side of the parcel per the City's policy for the utilities.
SuperAmerica is not subdividing the property at this time, though it is
expected that will be done at some point.
MOTION by Perry, Seconded by Knight, to accept the supplemental
feasibility report prepared by TKDA, Commission No. 10406, and add Pages
3 and 4, City project 93-10. (See Resolution Rl12-93) Motion carried
unanimously.
NEWSLETTER DISCUSSION, CONTINUED
Mayor McKelvey reported Ads of Anoka will distribute the newsletter
along with the Shopper to Andover residents at a cost of $187.56. He
also noted he was approached by several businesses that would be
interested in advertising in the newsletter. That additional revenue
would mean more funding for the newsletter.

(Newsletter Discussion, Continued) /
(
After some discussion, the majority of the Council preferred there be no
advertising in the City's newsletter, as they did not want it to appear
as if the City is endorsing particular businesses. In an effort to save
costs and because there may not be enough information for monthly
newsletters, it was agreed to provide a newsletter every other month
beginning with late July or early August. It was also agreed to use Ads
of Anoka for distribution, though several Councilmembers indicated a
preference to budget enough to have them mailed to each resident next
year.
The Council also agreed to a four-page newsletter. They suggested the
Staff type and layout the newsletter in-house, then send it to the
printer, which would be the most cost effective. Staff felt that could
be done.
MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson, to go with the Ads of Anoka bid
for a four-page City paper to come out bi-monthly with the cost of
delivery at $187.56, and the Rolin Graphics, Inc., bid, Option III, 60#
offset recycled paper at a cost of $291.31 for 5,000 pieces but in the
amount of 5,300 copies. The next edition to come out as soon as
possible but no later than August 1. Motion carried unanimously.
BUNKER HILLS GOLF TOURNAMENT DISCUSSION
Councilmember Perry reported on the meeting of the Public Safety
Co~~ittee with representatives from the county and the City of Coon
Rapids regarding the Senior PGA Open golf tournament at the Season's the
end of June. There was a lot of misinformation regarding the closing of
roads and dil-ecting traffic through Andover. That is not the case.
Traffic will be routed to Highway 65 and then south, plus west to Hanson
Boulevard. Additional people will be added for security. The Committee
didn't feel there would be much of a problem for Andover.
Cou!lcilmember Knight felt there may be a problem with parking along
Bunker Lake Boulevard, and the Sheriff's Department is saying they will
not be able to patrol that area. He asked if the Council felt
additional Deputies should be hired to do that. After some discussion,
the Council didn't feel additional Deputies would be needed; however,
the Mayor agreed to raise the concern with the Park Ranger and the Coon
Rapids Police Chief. No further action was taken.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING DISCUSSION
Mayor McKelvey reported the Committee had discussed the sale of a lot to
"For Kids Only" Day Care; however, the company did not agree with the
lot the Committee had in mind. The Committee will meet on the issue
again on June 9. He also reported on the Committee's recommendation to
purchase as many junkyards as possible with the funds to be bonded. He
is aware of two yards that appear to be willing to sell to the City.
The Council discussed the proposal noting the potential problems and
costs of determining that the ground is not contaminated; the preference
by some that the redevelopment be either done by the current owner or
that the City purchase the property, then resell it to someone who would
develop it; the consensus that those willing to sell should state that
in writing indicating what they would be willing to accept as a purchase
price; and the desire to see an update on the financing of the Tax
Increment Financing fund before making any decisions. Attorney Hawkins
stated that update is being done for the sale of the bond for the
construction of CowÆercial Boulevard and for the Commercial Park
improvements. It should be ready within the next four weeks. He also
suggested the owners may want to give the City the option to purchase
the property. The City can sign it, then get appraisals. Then if the
City wants to purchase the properties, it can exercise that option.
The Mayor agreed to proceed with obtaining the selling prices acceptable
to the property owners and to get something in writing. The item will
be discussed again once the update of the finances is completed.

Minutes - June 1, 1993

APPROVE REVISED GRADING PLAN/PINEWOOD ESTATES 2ND
Mr. Haas explained the plans and specifications are out for bids at this
point. They were designed off the grading plan before the Council.
There were problems with the first plat with a shortage of dirt, so this
Addition was redesigned. Some minor changes had to be made to the storm
sewer because of some conflicts with the sanitary sewer. This plan
meets the ordinance requirements. Mr. Haas also noted the comment on
the mottled soil is because the engineer didn't know if it was actually
a water table at some point of if there was water that percolated in the
soil and stained it. Various departments review the plans and he heard
no complaints.
The Council was concerned about the comment on the mottled soil, feeling
there would be problems if the elevations were based on disregarded
information. Mr. Haas stated this item can be tabled for two weeks so
they can have someone determine if there is staining on the soils.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, that we hold the grading and
drainage plans of Pinewood Estates 2nd Addition over to the next
regularly scheduled meeting to allow Staff and the developer's engineers
to check the mottling of the soils to determine the representative high
water table. Motion carried unanimously.
APPROVE FINAL PLAT/PINEWOOD ESTATES 2ND
MOTION by Perry, Seconded by Jacobson, approval of the final plat of
Pinewood Estates 2nd Addition subject to the 7th item that was noted in
the memo from Staff; delete the printed No. 7 subject to Metropolitan
Council approval of the extension of sanitary sewer since that is
already done, and add new No. 7, Subject to an accepted grading and
drainage plan being submitted to the City. (See Resolution R12l-93)
DISCUSSION: Council questioned the naming of the street running from
l47th at Hanson Boulevard to Hummingbird to 146th Lane. It seems
confusing with three different names. Mr. Haas stated the names are
assigned by the Building Department, but he will raise that issue with
them. Motion carried unanimously.
APPROVE JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT/IP91-22 AND 91-28
Mayor McKelvey reported the neighbors in Chapman's Addition and the
members of Grace Lutheran Church have reached an agreement regarding the
entrance to the church. They have agreed to Option 2, that is the
driveway in the back of the Medical Building. All people leaving the
church would do so either south through the parking lot onto 136th Lane
or use the driveway behind the Medical Building. The Mayor then read a
letter from Reverend Steve McKinley, Senior Pastor of Grace Lutheran
Church, which summarized their understanding of the agreement:
1) Grace Lutheran Church agrees to accept the construction option to
develop a north/south street east of the Professional Building. It will

Minutes - June 1, 1993

(Approve Joint Powers Agreement/IP91-22 and 91-28, Continued)
not connect with l36th Lane, but an east/west road will be constructed
between the parking lot of the Professional Building and l36th entering
the southeast corner of the church's parking lot.
2) The church agrees to construct a durable gate across the southern
access of their parking lot at l36th Lane and Rose Street.
3 ) The church expects the City to provide a temporary traffic control
system at the intersection of Bunker Lake Boulevard and the entrance to
the new north/south street.
4 ) The new road will be designed and constructed with no surface water
to drain into the church parking lot.
5) The legal jurisdiction of the north/south street and the east/west
street will be in public domain and either the City or the county will
have liability for actions that take place and will be responsible for
all maintenance including snow removal and surface and drainage system.
6) provision will be made for adequate signing along Bunker Lake
Boulevard with costs to be borne by the City or county making it easy
for those desiring access to the church from the east or the west to
identify the legal access points to the church property.
7) The City will install replacement trees on the top of the earth berm
abutting l36th Lane replacing those trees lost last winter at no cost to
the church.
8) The church's current driveway access to Bunker Lake Boulevard will
be reconstructed by Anoka County into an entrance-only configuration
from the outside lane of the east-bound road at no cost to the church.
Mayor McKelvey noted two developers in the City are working to have
about 25 large pine trees from pinewood Estates transplanted onto the
church's earth berm at no cost to the City. He expected that to be done
by the end of the week. The placement of the snow when plowing has also
been resolved. It will be placed along Bunker Lake Boulevard.
Attorney Hawkins advised that the City can legally accept the proposed
east/west street as a City street. The liability is to the extent that
the law would impose upon the City, the same as for any City street.
The Council felt the agreement reached is reasonable. Mayor McKelvey
stated the county is aware of proposed changes, and an amendment to this
Joint Powers Agreement will be needed. Mr. Carlberg also noted a number
of variances will be needed as a result of these new roads. All
property owners and the county are aware that they will be needed.
MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Dalien, that we adopt the Joint Powers
Agreement for the Reconstruction of Round Lake Boulevard from l40th Lane
and Bunker Lake Boulevard from 38th Avenue to Quay Street as presented.
Motion carried unanimously.

Minutes - June 1, 1993

APPROVE RIGHT-OF-WAY PLAN/IP92-25/UNIVERSITY AVENUE
Mr. Haas stated the plans for the project should be available for the
next meeting. Basically the road will stay where it is now with no
shifts. The top of the hill at McGlovers will need to be cut down and
retaining walls built to protect the trees on the west side. Those
costs are eligible for MSA funding.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Dalien, approval of the right-of-way
plans for University Avenue. Motion carried unanimously.
MAYOR-COUNCIL INPUT
Fencing Ordinance - The Council requested the Planning Commission take
another look at the fencing ordinance to address whether there should be
some requirements for the type of materials that can be used.
Request from City of Ramsey - Council noted the invitation from the City
of Ramsey to schedule a meeting in September. Though the Council was
amiable to having a meeting, they preferred to wait until closer to that
time before setting a specific date.
Seal coating - Councilmember Knight suggested consideration be given to
imposing a per-lot fee on new plats to be escrowed for seal coating in
the future. Though something similar is done in other cities, Attorney
Hawkins felt it would be an impact fee, which is illegal in Minnesota.
Such costs can be assessed. Council agreeed that something must be done
to be able to sealcoat the streets, either assessing all or a portion or
budgeting for it. Mr. Haas stated he and Frank Stone of Public works
want to meet with the Road Committee to view some of the problem areas.
County Fees - Councilmember Dalien stated the county will be charging a
new fee for the cost of collecting special assessments for the City
starting July 1. They would appreciate any input from the City.
Boundary Commission Update - Councilmember Dalien reported he appeared
in District Court on Friday as a member of the Boundary Commission
regarding the replatting of Auditor's Subdivision 82. The judge was
concerned with the few parcels that were left out of the plat and is now
taking the whole thing under advisement.
APPROVAL OF CLAIMS
MOTION by Perry, Seconded by Dalien, the Schedule of Bills dated 5-27-93
in the amount of $121,310.96. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION by Perry to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. The meeting
was adjourned at 10:12 p.m.
