REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - DECEMBER 5, 1995
MINUTES
The Regular Bi-Monthly Meeting of the Andover City Council was called tc
order by Mayor Jack McKelvey on December 5, 1995, 7:00 p.m., at the
Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota.
Councilmembers present: Dehn, Jacobson, Knight, Kunza
Councilmembers absent: None
Also present: City Attorney, William G. Hawkins
City Engineer, Scott Erickson
City Planning Director, Dave Carlberg
Fire Chief, Dan Winkel
City Administrator, Richard Fursman
Others
RESIDENT FORUM
Kevin Doucette and John Campbell. Andover "Snow-Draqon's" Snowmobile
Club - addressed the Council with the activities they have done to
inform Andover residents of the ordinance regarding snowmobiling in the
City. The club has between 100 and 120 members and has participated in
the "Adopt-a-Highway" program by cleaning up a portion of Hanson
Boulevard. They have prepared a flyer summarizing the Snowmobile
Ordinance which they have distributed to residents and local merchants.
They have talked to the local cable TV and to the Andover newsletter.
There is also a hot line that can be called so they can deal with
complaints. They are willing to help residents put up snow fence and
"No Snowmobiling" signs. They have patrolled areas and stopped
snowmobilers to inform them of the ordinance requirements. In October
they conducted a DNR snowmobile safety training course for 37 children,
in which they stressed the regulations and respect for private property.
Several club members have been patrolling problem areas and will stop
violators to talk to them about the ordinance. They are talking with
the police department about the possibility of being able to issue
citations as the club members in Champlin are able to do. The hope is
also to eventually set up a trail through the City and signs to mark the
trails. Most people they talk to feel east-west and north-south trails
through the City would eliminate much of the problems of cutting through
people's yards. Pov's has donated their parking lot to park trailers,
and they are hoping to get a main corridor through the City. They also
found that the Deputies did not know the ordinance regulations on
snowmobiling, so Todd Haas, Assistant City Engineer, has met with them
to go over that information. Hopefully that problem has been corrected.
If more signs are needed around the City, the club is willing to make
them up and install them; though it would look more professional if the
City has the signs made. It will also help once the "No Snowmobiling"
signs are installed along the southern portion of Round Lake Boulevard.
Council member Dehn stated she received eight complaints on snowmobiling,
mostly from along Round Lake Boulevard where snowmobilers are almost
running over some of the elderly population. She was also very

concerned with rescue people having to risk their lives to help those
foolish enough to ride on the lakes and then fall into the water.
Councilmember Knight applauded the efforts of the snowmobile club and
suggested the summary of the ordinance be included with the next City
newsletter.
Hubert Smith. 13309 Jav Street - had a complaint about the disrespect of
snowmobilers in his area and their disregard for the regulations. He
stopped several to explain the law, and he was told they can't ride in
Coon Rapids because the Coon Rapids police will not allow them to ride
on their city streets. He put ups barricades on his yard, but the
snowmobilers rode right around it. So he installed two more, but it is
very unattractive. Others are also putting up barricades. He's leaving
in a month, but in the past he's been told by his children that the
snowmobilers just ride through his yard and driveway once he is gone.

APPROVE PRELIMINARY PLAT/DEVONSHIRE ESTATES
Mr. Erickson reviewed the proposed plat of Devonshire Estates as
requested by Dave Harris. The plat is zoned R-l, Single Family Rural,
and consists of 16 single family residential lots. The Andover Review
Committee is recommending two variances for Lot 6, Block 3, to the 300-
foot minimum requirement at the front setback line and because it is
proposed to have double frontage. The driveway for that lot would come
out the narrow portion along the high ground onto Cottonwood Street.
The Planning and Zoning Commission is recommending approval, and the
Park and Recreation Commission is recommending cash in lieu of land for
park dedication. The Fire Department has a concern that there is only
one access to the plat at this time, though two others are being
proposed when the adjoining properties to the north and south develop.
This has been allowed in a number of plats in the past where there is
only one access at the time of development but others are planned for
when the surrounding area develops.
Councilmember Knight was disturbed by the configuration of Lot 2.
Councilmember Jacobson felt there are some parcels in the City that
probably should not be developed, and this may be one of them beca~se of
the extensive wetlands, drainage, and ponding. He suggested the name of
the north-south street be changed to Cottonwood, as it is confusing to
have more than one street name. He asked how a driveway will be
constructed to the pad on Lot 4 because of the wetlands. Mr. Erickson
stated a driveway culvert can be placed across the drainage ditch. All
that has to be permitted through the Coon Creek Watershed. That is not
unusual. Councilmember Dehn had some concern because notoriously the
drainage goes into the ditch and floods the adjacent farm fields.
Councilmember Jacobson also had a concern that four good-sized ponds are
being dug plus all of the wetlands. With that much water, he had a
concern with flooding, as those basements that are just one foot above
the flood plain, even though the ordinance requirements are being met.
What is the gravel construction entrance off University? Mr. Erickson
explained it is a temporary road that will be used during construction.

(Preliminary Plat/Devonshire Estates, Continued)
Councilmember Jacobson was still concerned with the development of this
parcel. He wondered if the developer would consider a PUD concept of
clustering the 16 houses or townhomes in the center of the plat and
leaving the surrounding area open.
Leon Opatz. pioneer Enqineerinq - designed the plat and grading plan.
The plat was designed according to the City ordinance and the Watershed
District's requirements so there is a minimum impact on the wetlands.
Four rate-controlled ponds are being installed that will meter the
amount of runoff going into the wetland. There will be no more water
going into them than is currently going there. In addition, they are
sedimentation control ponds that will filter any sedimentation that
washes off the hard paved streets. Even if it were a PUD development,
the street locations would probably remain the same because there is no
way of getting to the middle of the plat without crossing some wetlands.
Dave Harris. Developer - realizes this is a difficult piece of land to
develop. They have been working with Staff to meet the requirements of
the ordinance, and he complimented the Staff for their time and efforts.
The number of lots was reduced to meet the requirements. He thought
some of the lots are already marketed. If they could start allover
again and it would be $41,000 sooner, possibly he would consider some
other type of land uses. presently they have done what they can to
minimize the impact of the development on the wetlands. They feel it is
a good plat which meets all requirements. They would like to proceed
with the plat as proposed.
Councilmember Jacobson asked if the four ponds will have standing water
most of the time. He was in a quandary because he realized the plat
meets the ordinance, but he has concerns about the large amount of
wetland with houses being placed wherever there is a high spot. To
prevent this in the future, possibly the council should consider a
moratorium until the ordinance can be changed to deal with these probleu1
areas. Mr. Erickson stated most likely there will be water at the
bottom. They are sedimentation ponds where the outlot is higher than the
bottom of the pond.
Mayor McKelvey didn't think much consideration was given to PUD
development until just recently. He suggested in the future that if
similar-type properties come in for development, Staff should be
considering a PUD development from the start. He didn't think this plat
could be denied, but those concerns should be addressed earlier in the
process on future plats.
MOTION by Dehn, Seconded by Jacobson, that the City Council approve the
Resolution for the preliminary plat of Devonshire Estates being
developed by Dave Harris located in Section 24, Township 32, Range 24,
Anoka County, and also have Staff look once more at the labeling of the
streets to eliminate some of the confusion that may arise with them.
(See Resolution R259-95) Motion carried on a 3-Yes, 2-No (Knight, Kunza)
vote.

APPROVE PRELIMINARY PLAT/ROLLING MEADOWS ESTATES
Mr. Erickson reviewed the proposed preliminary plat of Rolling Meadows
as requested by TSM Development, Inc. The plat is zoned R-l, Single
Family Rural, and consists of 13 single family rural residential lots.
The Andover Review Committee has identified several variances: I} for
the length of 172nd Street NW, Tonto Street NW and 171st Avenue NW
between Xkimo Street NW and Roanoke Street NW; 2} for Outlot A, which is
wetland and cannot be crossed with the road; and 3} for Lots 2, 3, 4 of
Block 1 which do not meet the 39,000 square-foot requirement. Mr.
Erickson explained that because of the new septic laws to be enacted
next year which will prohibit drainfields from being installed on any
fill soils and because this area contains a sand/clay loam, the Building
Department has had a number of meetings with the developers on this
issue. Those three lots will have only 29,000 square feet above the six-
foot seasonal high water mark. The perk tests have been done such show
it will support a primary and secondary septic system for each lot.
Jim Merila. Merila Associates - engineer on the project. He clarified
the septic system issue. The tests show that in only one or two
locations on the site will a conventional septic system work. The
proposed mound septic systems are being proposed for 12 out of the 13
sites. The variances on the three lots are because they don't meet the
39,000 square-foot requirements, and the new regulations will not allow
the systems to be placed on fill.
Mr. Erickson stated the Fire Department is concerned with only one
access to the plat at this point, though two other access will be
provided whenever the adj acent properties to the north and south
develop. The Planning Commission recommended Xkimo Street NW be
constructed to the south property line; however, the developer is only
willing to dedicate an easement to the property line at this time. Mr.
Erickson also reviewed the revisions made to the plat since the public
hearing held by the Planning Commission. The easement for 173rd has
been eliminated. A private road easement to service the home in the
back would be provided, and Lot 4, Block 1, would then have a very
unusual configuration which includes that portion of 173rd Avenue NW.
The second outlot in the original plat has been included in th9
reconfiguration of Lot 4. The Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended approval with conditions, and the Park and Recreation
commission is recommending cash in lieu of land for park dedication.
councilmember Knight stated the front and rear of Lots 7, 8 and 9 are
totally separated by open water. The owners will not be able to ~et to
the back of their lots except when the lake freezes. He was very
concerned with that. Mr. Erickson stated the buildable portions are in
the front and do meet all the requirements for buildable areas.
councilmember Knight thought this was developing at the cost of the
environment. Water is standing in the wetland all year long with no way
to cross on those three lots. This is what the Council has been talking
about protecting. He thought it is a mistake to develop this parcel in
this fashion.

Minutes - December 5, 1995

(Preliminary Plat/Rolling Meadows Estates, Continued)
Councilmember Jacobson noted there are two Block 2's on the plat. One
needs to be corrected to Block 3. He noted the temporary cul-de-sac
needs to be placed at the property line, not back 150 feet as shown.
Mr. Merila - stated the owner was not intending to bring the temporary
cul-de-sac to the property line. The owner is willing to provide the
right-of-way, but feels its construction should be borne by the property
owner to the south when that property is developed. Councilmember
Jacobson explained the City's policy to extend streets to the property
lines of the property being platted. He also questioned the 15-foot
easement across the top of the exception. He felt that strip should be
attached to one of the lots, otherwise the City will end up with a 15-
foot wide lot.
Mr. Merila - stated the reason for that strip is it is a part of the
property being developed. He understands it was an easement for the
future 173rd Street. The intent was to convey that portion for the roa~
when the property to the north is developed. He thought the easement
could remain as is and still belong to the property owners. If it is
given up, it may preclude any road from ever being constructed through
there. Councilmember Knight stated it is an old farm road.
Councilmember Jacobson also noted that the county is recommending no
entrance at 173rd. He too was concerned with the odd-shaped
configuration of Lot 4, Block 1.
Mr. Merila - stated the lot is 2 1/2 acres without the strip of property
for 173rd. They originally had that strip as an outlot, but it was
removed at the recommendation of the Planning Commission. Councilmember
Jacobson had the same concerns as the Planning Commission on the names
of the two streets. He noted Lot 1, Block 1 does not indicate a
building pad. He too was concerned with the wetlands and environmental
concerns on this parcel. The City has no experience with mound septic
systems, feeling more research should be done on them. He knows they
are extremely expensive to replace. There are enough questions on this
plat that he would not be comfortable approving it at this time.
Mr. Merila - noted Lots 7, 8 and 9 that are of concern by Councilmember
Knight greatly exceed the buildable square foot area requirements. They
had proposed that the rear areas be platted as outlots, then joined with
the adjoining property to the west for future development. Because of
the City's opposition to outlots, those lots are now being developed as
proposed, which he felt is not the best use of the land. He felt that
is an argument for the City reconsidering its outlot policy, that
consideration should be given to allowing unbuildable parcels to remain
as outlots until they can be combined with adjacent parcels of land. He
doesn't feel he should have to give Outlot A to the adjacent property
just because it is a wetland. It still has some value to the property
owner to the south when that land is developed. To have to convey it
now without compensation is really a taking. The development does not
encroach on the wetlands, and the environmental aspects are being
preserved as passive open space areas.
Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - December 5, 1995
Page 7
(Preliminary Plat/Rolling Meadows Estates, Continued)
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Dehn, that the council table the
preliminary plat of Rolling Meadows Estates until the resolution of the
following points: I} Council and the Building Department obtain more
information on the mound system for septic disposal. council was not
aware that there were as many lots to be considered for mound systems.
2} That the north/south roads be built to the property line both on the
north and south sides of the plat. 3) That the IS-foot strip crossing
the plat at the northern boundary be eliminated and combined in some
fashion with the lots there. 4} Lot 1, Block 4 be reconfigured. 5} The
Building pad for Lot 1, Block 1, be indicated. 6} Renaming of the
streets. 7) Reconsideration of the status of Outlot A. DISCUSSION:
It was determined by legal counsel that some action must be taken on the
plat because of the time period since it was first submitted.
Discussion continued on several points in the motion.
Mr. Merila - stated the 15-foot strip across the northern boundary would
be designated as a street and could be included as a part of Lot 9,
Block 2. Councilmember Jacobson suggested the developer work with Staff
and the Attorney on these issues before the Council takes action.
Malcom Allan. one of the developers - did not recall the exact date the
plat was submitted. He agreed to grant an extension for action on the
plat until the December 19, 1995, City Council meeting.
Councilmember Jacobson amended the motion to state "table the
preliminary plat of Rolling Meadows Estates until the next Council
meeting (December 19) ...". Motion carried unanimously.
COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD DESIGN UPDATE/IP94-33
Mr. Erickson asked the Council to consider including the grading of
properties purchased in the commercial area along with the street
construction project and to consider including ornamental lighting and
a concrete sidewalk along Commercial Boulevard. If a sidewalk is
included, it would also have to be constructed along those portions of
Commercial Boulevard that are already constructed using either MSA or
TIF funds. There should be enough right-of-way to include sidewalks
without obtaining additional easements. Mr. Fursman pointed out the
only two parcels the City does not own are owned by Rick Heidelberger
and Mom's Auto.
Council discussion noted the issues of concern for decorative lighting
are the cost versus the standard lighting and vandalism. Also, is the
wiring is the same so it can be installed now and lights put in as
development occurs? While there was a tendency to question the need for
decorative lighting in a commercial area, Mr. Erickson stated he would
check into the cost differences and report back to the Council.
No decision was made on the sidewalks, though the comments were
generally in favor of the suggestion.

(Commercial Boulevard Design Update/IP94-33, Con tinued)
Councilmember Jacobson suggested TKDA consider traffic control in the
design of the street to eliminate the problem of speeding. He asked
that the cost of painting the speed limit on the street be researched.
In addition, he wondered if the storm water ponding areas would be
suitable for skating rinks in the winter. Off-street parking would have
to be provided. Mr. Erickson stated he will look into those items.
CONSIDER PARK AND RECREATION DIRECTOR
Mr. Fursman asked that the Council consider expanding park use with the
hiring of a Park and Recreation Director. Over the past few years,
there has been an explosive growth in the park system. There are
additional programs, especially for the youth, the concession building,
and a demand for adult programming. He recommended the Park Board,
Athletic Associations and the Council begin a dialog to look at hiring
a Park and Recreation Director. The intent would be to develop programs
to generate funds so the position would be self-sufficient and even
generate excess funds. He has drafted a preliminary description of the
position and typical duties. He and Staff have looked at similar
positions in other communities, but the programs and duties vary widely
from simply coordinating events to being involved with everything.
Councilmember Jacobson asked for more details on the duties, how the
position will be paid for, and the program that will make it self-
sufficient in time. He also thought that once it has gone through the
Park and Recreation Commission, it should also be discussed by the
Personnel Committee. Council member Knight was concerned that with the
position comes the need for supporting personnel, secretaries, etc. Mr.
Fursman agreed, though the community is rich in volunteerism that should
continue to be utilized. The intent would be to coordinate the
volunteers, not replace them. With the new facility, the space should
be available for the new person.
Mayor McKelvey stated he has talked with representatives at the school
district, and they are anxious to work with the City to determine what
programs the City will take and which ones they will keep. Also, the
Andover Athletic Association is very concerned about this proposal that
the emphasis will be on adult leagues to justify the position rather
than on the youth leagues. After talking to the Park and Recreation
Commission, he suggested Staff then meet with representatives from all
of the youth athletic organizations in the City and from the school to
explain the proposal and receive input. Mr. Fursman agreed, noting at
this time it is just a developmental concept being shared with the
Council.
Councilmember Dehn wanted more realistic figures for the costs of the
department, including the cost of the director, secretaries,
maintenance, etc. , as well as monies that would be generated from the
various programs. No specific Council action was needed at this time.
