APPROVAL OF MINUTES
July 5, 1995, Regular Meeting: Correct as written.
July 5, 1995, EVA Meeting: Correct as written.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Dehn, to approve both Minutes. Motion
carried on a 4-Yes, I-Present (Knight) vote.
<
PUBLIC HEARING: IP95-l0/HAWK RIDGE'" COUNTRYVIEW ESTATES/STREETS
7:10 p.m. Councilmember Knight explained the Road Committee is
recommending that 177th Lane from Verdin to the proposed end at Round
Lake Boulevard be removed from the designated MSA system. With 181st to
the north, there is no need for this street as an MSA street.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Kunza, to so move. Motion carried
unanimously.
Mayor McKelvey opened the hearing for public input, noting the petition
received by the Council for Hawk Ridge is 22 lots in favor, 15 against,
and 12 unavailable for comment. For Countryview Estates the petition is
15 in favor, 1 against, and 9 unavailable for comment.
Mike Carpenter, 17783 Eidelweiss - asked about the costs of the project,
stating it is cheaper to seed than to sod the boulevards. Mr. Erickson
explained the costs the residents received are estimates. The project
will be bid and assessments based on the actual costs plus a percentage
for administration. Councilmember Jacobson explained that past
experience has shown that it is far better to sod the boulevards.
? ,18031 Crocus - didn't know if anyone from Hawk Ridge was present.
She is opposed.
Mike Grundstrom, 17729 Eidelweiss - was looking for the breakdown of the
bid and what it will cost. He is in favor of the project. Mayor
McKelvey explained this is an estimate; but if the cost is 5 percent
higher than the estimate, the residents will be asked again if they wish
to proceed with the project.

Minutes - July 18, 1995

(Public Hearing: 95-10/Hawk Ridge & Countryview Estates, Streets, Cont.)
Lloyd Jarson, 12925 177th Avenue - understood this project was being
done in conjunction with the City of Oak Grove. The cost in Oak Grove
per lot is $3,500, and they are being charged $4,500. Mayor McKelvey
noted the difference may be in the thickness of the blacktop. Andover
requires 2 1/2 inches. Also, the project has not yet been bid, so the
contractor working in Oak Grove mayor may not be doing the project.
,
Wayne Moe, 17750 G1adiola - stated friends who live on the west side of
Round Lake Blvd. on 178th were quoted about the same price, but ended up
paying about $90 per month instead of the $50 they are being quoted.
Also, are these roads going to be taken care of after they are paid for,
as he understands the City is about one-half million dollars behind in
resurfacing. Council thought the difference may be in the length of the
assessment period. The intent is to catch up on the road maintenance.
Maude Watson, 17611 Round Lake Boulevard - stated they have 30 acres
which is in Green Acres. She asked how much their assessment will be.
They are in favor of the project. Mr. Erickson stated the records show .
the Watson's are being assessed for two units.
Mayor McKelvey asked if anyone wished to change their vote on the
petition. No one did, though several residents stated they did not sign
the petition and were opposed to the project. Mayor McKelvey noted over
51 percent are still in favor. A resident asked why Andover doesn't
simply pave all of the gravel roads to spread the costs. Mayor McKelvey
stated that has not been the policy of the city. Councilmember Kunza had
another petition to pave 176th and Verdin along with this project.
? ,17651 Arrowhead - is from the newly petitioned, area and
questioned if the written piece of paper constitutes a petition. Mr.
Erickson stated he will contact those residents to go through the proper
petitioning procedure, then amend the feasibility to include that area.
MOTION by Dehn, Seconded by Jacobson, to close the public hearing.
Motion carried unanimously. 7:26 p.m. Mayor McKelvey asked for a
motion to approve the Resolution ordering the improvement of streets,
Project No. 95-10, in the Hawk Ridge/Countryview Estates area and
directing the preparation of final plans and specifications.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Dehn, to so move. (See Resolution R127- .
95) Motion carried unanimously.
REZONING/SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR LIQUOR LICENSE/LOT 16, BLOCK 5, HILLS OF
BUNKER LAKE 3RD
Mayor McKelvey asked for a motion to table the items per the written
request of the petitioners.
MOTION by Kunza, Seconded by Dehn, to so move, directing City Staff to
send the petitioners a letter clarifying what the Council is doing, and
that it will only be put back on the Agenda when they reqùest it in
writing to be put back on. Motion carried unanimously.

SPECIAL USE PERMIT/GUN SHOP /1714 BUNKER LAKE BOULEVARD
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Kunza, approving the Resolution. (See
Resolution R128-95 granting the Special Use Permit request of Andover .
Firearms & Shooting Supplies to operate a gun shop {retail trade and
services} at 1714 Bunker Lake Boulevard NW) Motion carried unanimously.
LOT SPLIT/16241 MAKAH STREET NW
Mr. Carlberg noted the letter from the Anoka County Highway Department
indicating their recommendation that both entrances from the property be
directed onto Makah Street. As proposed, the existing lot would continue
to exit onto Makah Street, with the new lot exiting onto CoRd 7.
Councilmernber Knight felt the county has a valid point, that ~t is a bad
place for an entrance, coming off that turn with the traffic moving
through there very rapidly. Mr. Carlberg stated the driveway is about
1,000 feet from the curve. Previously a lot was allowed to be split on
the northern end of the curve. The county's first recommendation is to
avoid the exit; but if one is going to be put there, since it is the
City's ultimate decision to allow the split, they still have the ability
to see where the driveway will be placed on the property. They may
recommend that it be placed further south, away from the curve. He also
noted that on the issue of covenants on the property which was raised at
the public hearing, nothing was received by Staff. The City doesn't get
involved with developer covenants. '
MOTION by Dehn, Seconded by Kunza, approving the Resolution as
presented. (See Resolution R129-95 granting the lot split request of
Carl Franzen to create two parcels) Motion carried unanimously.
VARIANCE/3940 SOUTH ENCHANTED DRIVE
Mr. Carlberg stated the granting of this variance does not change the
non-conforming portion of the parcel. If an addition is wanted to the
house, an additional variance would be required. \
MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson, approving the Resolution
presented. (See Resolution R130-95 approving the variances requested by
Don Jensen to allow the construction of a garage on a single family
residence on a lawfully existing non-conforming parcel that will
encroach 18.5 feet into the required setback from Aztec Street NW)
Motion carried unanimously.
VARIANCE/996 HOTH LANE NW
.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, the Resolution for approval.
(See Resolution R13l-95 approving the variance request of Charles Rowley
to Ordinance No.8, Section 6.02 to allow for the construction of a deck
encroaching eight feet into the required rear yard setback at 996 140th
Lane NW) Motion carried unanimously.

AMEND ORDINANCE 53/DOG ENCLOSURES .
Mr. Carlberg explained the P&Z felt the 40-foot setback was appropriate.
The intent has been to keep kennels out of the side yard, and the
Commission recommended additional language in Item 2 of section 23 that
no dog enclosure shall be placed in the side yard in the R-4 District.
Councilmember Jacobson had some concern with applying the new
requirements to any pre-existing dog enclosures where the City receives
a complaint that it is not kept in a clean and sanitary condition or is
a nuisance to an adjacent property owner. He thought that problem could
be resolved under the Nuisance Ordinance and require it to be cleaned. ·
Mr. Carlberg explained the on-going problems with existing dog
enclosures is what precipitated this ordinance amendment.
Councilmember Jacobson questioned requiring the 40-foot compliance if
the dog enclosure is already 30 feet from an adjacent residence. Mr.
Carlberg stated the judgement of whether it needs to be moved will rest
with Staff. A complaint on an enclosure that is 10 feet from the
adjacent house may be different than one that is 30 feet, though he
couldn't envision a problem with the one that is 30 feet away. Attorney
Hawkins felt the City has the authority to require compliance with
existing requirements as a means of resolving a nuisance.
..
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, move approval. DISCUSSION:
Mayor McKelvey noted the intent is Staff would act only on complaints
for existing dog enclosures. Council agreed. Motion carried unanimously.
APPROVE PLANS AND SPECS/IP95-7 OAK HOLLOW, IP95-9 FOREST MEADOWS, IP95-
10 HAWK RIDGE/COUNTRYVIEW ESTATES
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Kunza, to so move. (See Resolution
R132-95 approving plans and specs for the three street projects) Motion
carried unanimously. ·
The meeting was adjourned at 7:46 to hold an HRA meeting; reconvened at
7:47 p.m.
MET COUNCIL REPORT
Mr. Fursman stated Staff had hoped to meet with the Metropolitan Council
Staff prior to the July 25, 1995, meeting with the Environmental
Committee of the Metropolitan Council to try and resolve the policy for
on-site septic system inspections. That meeting has failed to
materialize. Staff will argue for a less restrictive policy,. proposing
the City require pumping every two years. In addition, each year the
City would randomly test 100 systems that are over seven years old at no
cost to the homeowners. The inspection would probably be done at the
time a system is pumped to avoid additional digging and disturbance of
yards. From that, data can be gained as to whether there is a problem
and the failure rate. If it is significant, other changes may be
needed. If it is not a significant rate, it may be argued the program
in place is sufficient.

Minutes - July 18, 1995 .
Page 6
(Met Council Report, Continued)
After some discussion, the Council agreed with Mr. Fursman's
recommendation for a compromise, though questions were raised about
dropping the inspections if no problem is found after several years, on
establishing an enforcement procedure of the pumping requirement, on the
specific requirements for inspections, and whether a system will need to
be replaced just because the current code differs from the one when it
was installed. Councilmember Jacobson also wanted any agreement on the
issue to be applied uniformly to other communities by the Met Council.
SCHEDULE BUDGET WORKSHOP
The Council agreed to hold a proposed 1996 budget workshop on Monday,
August 7, 1995, 7:00 p.m., at the Andover City Hall.
"NO PARKING" ISSUE/139TH AND EIDELWEISS .
Kari Delenqer, 13895 Eidelweiss - stated they have over 50 signatures
from virtually every house in favor of keeping the "No Parking" signs on
139th Avenue and Eidelweiss Street. She also had copies of five or six
letters stating concerns on the issue. Their concerns would be
alleviated by keeping the "No Parking" signs in the area. She explained
the cul-de-sac is smaller than normal because it is a temporary one, and
she was unaware of that fact when the Council made the decision to have
the signs removed after the ball season is over. Vehicles cannot turn
around when others are parked. They must back down the street and into
people's property in order to get out. It is a very unsafe situation.
There are two other parks that have "No Parking" signs, those being
Strootman's and Northwoods East. In talking with homeowners around those
parks, they feel the signs have worked well for them. The residents feel
this is a similar situation and would like some kind of restrictive
parking kept in place. Their main concern is safety. She showed a
diagram on the overhead as to the size of the cul-de-sac and the effect
of cars parking on both sides of the street. She was open to suggestions
for restrictive parking, but didn't know if there would even be enough
room to turn around in the cul-de-sac with parking only on one side.
She felt there should be no parking in the cul-de-sac itself so people
could turn around instead of having to back down the street to get out. ,
Jodv Theisen - stated she attended the mediation session and received
some good information from the ball players' parents. They have some
ideas to talk with the Park Board, and the athletic association will ask
parents to sign a contract to be accountable for their behavior and
their children's. They are also talking about scheduling the games with
a half an hour between so there will be ample parking at the school
sites. But she was also told that when the signs go down, they will
"park as many cars as they can legally park back there." She doesn't
want this to be a continuing issue; however, with new teams and new
parents coming each year, it will be an issue unless it is resolved now.

("NO Parking" Issue/139th and Eidelweiss, Continued)
Rick Theisen - just wants this to be a safety issue, not a political
one. When they purchased their lot, they were told the cul-de-sac was a
temporary turnaround for emergency vehicles. It makes more sense to
allow parking on the west side so there is a clear path for emergency
vehicles. He realized the athletic association had over 200 names on .
their list; however, they learned that over half of them didn't have
players using the fields and some didn't even live in Andover. He also
coaches ball and plays at Strootman's. He drives up to the field, drops
his equipment, and parks elsewhere. He didn't think it was too much to
ask the athletic association to comply for the safety of the children.
A lengthy discussion ensued. One suggestion was to allow parking on only
one side of the street. Another was to provide a small parking area on
the City-owned lot and a path to the ball fields to avoid trespassing on
private property. While the Council hoped the problem could be
alleviated somewhat with the additional use of the fields at the new
ball complex, the residents disagreed stating they were told by
Community Schools that the school fields will continue to be heavily
used by those who are not playing now because of the lack of fields.
JoAnn Weller, 2558 140th Lane - agreed there is a safety issue. She has
been using the field twice a week for the last seven years, but she
hasn't seen a lot of the things they claim to have happened or people
who are totally unreasonable. Two of the women who signed up for the
mediation had nothing to do with the ball team. Her street is almost all
park, and there are "No Parking" signs on the curve in Northwoods where
there was a real safety problem. The signs have helped immensely. This .
is a safety issue on a cul-de-sac or turnaround. If there is going to
be parking on one side, it should be on the side closest to the field,
so players and parents do not have to cross the street to get to it.
Mr. Theisen - felt it is safer to park in front of Lots 23 and 24, which
are not built upon. Councilmember Kunza disagreed, as it would be too
difficult for cars to turn around. It would be better to park on the
right side of the street. Councilmember Dehn felt it is totally unsafe
even to park on one side, as emergency vehicles still could not get
through there.
,.
The Council noted the decision was the signs would be removed after this
ball season is over. If there is a problem in the future, the "No
Parking" signs would be installed again permanently. They did not want
to make a decision to change that this evening with only one side
represented. They felt they owed it to those who left the last meeting
thinking the signs were coming down to let them know that other
alternatives are being considered. The Council agreed to schedule this
item in early spring, 1996, before the ball season starts to formulate
a solution that everyone can agree with. Mayor McKelvey stated he would
talk with the Community School Coordinator about the scheduling of the
fields at Crooked Lake School. He also stated he will ask Public Works .
to install a "Dead End" street sign on the corner, which should
eliminate some of the traffic. In addition, he indicated he would
personally notify some of the residents in that area of when the Council
will discuss the item again.

CONSIDER OFFER/IP95-6/ACCAP
Mayor McKelvey noted the offer from ACCAP to'pay for one-third of the
assessments due for parcels at 3541 135th Lane NW, 3542 136th ~venue NW,
and 3543 136th Avenue NW. Attorney Hawkins advised the City has the
right to assess them even though the special assessment search
mistakenly said there were no assessments. The City is now changing its
policy so this doesn't happen again. He advised against spending money
to collect the assessments and noted the compromise proposed by ACCAP.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to accept the offer of ACCAP for
$4,024 as the assessments on the three lots. Motion carried unanimously.
Attorney Hawkins noted the July 17, 1995, faxed letter from Barna, Guzy
& Steffen representing ACCAP with their offer to settle for $4,686. .
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Kunza, to bring the issue back up on the
table. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Kunza, to accept the offer of ACCAP for
$4,686 as the assessments on the three lots. Motion carried unanimously.
MAYOR/COUNCIL INPUT
Chiropractor as Home Occupation - Mr. Carlberg reported he received a
letter requesting an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to allow a
chiropractor practice as a home occupation. Council noted that because
it recently directed that Therapeutic Massage be allowed only in
commercial areas, that this use should also remain in office and clinic
situations. The consensus was to deny the request.
Acquisition of Auto Salvage Yards - Attorney Hawkins reported on the
status of negotiations with the various auto salvage yards. Mr. Fursman
stated Staff will meet with the bond consultant on the TIF bond and will
be bringing a proposal to the Council at the first meeting in August.
He also updated the Council on the appraisal being done for the M.R.
Olson property. In addition, an RFP is being developed for the cleanup
of the tire pile site. A feasibility report for roads through this .
commercial area, as well as a proposal to plat the area, will be brought
for consideration at the first meeting in August.
Road Committee/Chapman's Addition - Councilmember Knight reported
residents attended the Road Committee meeting this evening, very unhappy
about the traffic coming through their neighborhood to avoid the stop
lights. They will be coming in with a petition for the next meeting.
APPROVAL OF CLAIMS
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Dehn, the Claims of $60,4,.30.10 for
