ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304 . (612) 755-5100 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - MARCH 7, 1995 MINUTES The Regular Bi-Monthly Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by Mayor Jack McKelvey on March 7, 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 TKDA Engineer, John Davidson Building Official, Dave Almgren City Engineer, Scott Erickson City Finance Director, Jean Nichols City Administrator, Richard Fursman Others RESIDENT FORUM Winslow Holasek - noted he sent a letter to the City Council dated February 27 questioning the area storm sewer policy. He wondered if the Council had a chance to review that and to find out why assessments were used from the Xeon Street storm sewer project to build storm sewers outside of that project. Mayor McKelvey understood the entire area is one watershed. Mr. Holasek - stated the water drains to Lake Andover, but the other area has always been designated as separate. He did some research at City Hall and found that areas are not assessed consistently for storm water drainage. There are large discrepancies in that some plats are being fully assessed, such as Winslow Hills and winslow Hills 2nd; and other plats are not being assessed at all or only partially. It also appears that the amounts being assessed are in excess of the actual cost of the project. He then handed out a summary of assessments to the various plats, pointing out the acreage for all plats in the district and the charges for storm water against each plat. The percentage applied to each plat differs, and enough was collected to almost pay for the storm sewer twice. He felt it is totally unfair and illegal. Now he is faced with a $46,000 assessment for the 3rd Addition, and he objects to paying it until these discrepancies are resolved. Council took no action at this time, but did give direction later in the meeting during the Mayor/Council Input. AGENDA APPROVAL Add Item 15a, Executive Session with the City Attorney regarding the Weybridge 3rd and Old Is Gold litigation. Mayor McKelvey asked for a motion to approve the Agenda as amended. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Dehn, to so move. Motion carried unanimously. tY'\~ ~OA-~ 3/;¡11~5 -, ----~- i[ Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - March 7, 1995 Page 2 CONSENT AGENDA Item 16: Amend Service Fees (See Resolution R029-95) MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Kunza, to approve the Consent Agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously. APPROVAL OF MINUTES February 21, 1995, Regular Meeting: Page 9, second line from bottom, change lIobjectn to "objection". February 21, 1995, EDA Meeting: Correct as written. February 23, 1995, Special Meeting: Correct as written. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Dehn, approve both meetings on February 21 as corrected. Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Present (Kunza) vote. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Dehn, approve the Special Meeting Minutes of February 23, 1995. Motion carried unanimously. APPROVE DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT/CROWN POINTE EAST Jerry Windschitl, Ashford Development Corporation - explained his attorney and the City Attorney did proposed language that was agreeable to both parties. The City is in possession of a signed and notarized development contract for Crown pointe East. Mr. Erickson stated that is correct. Attorney Hawkins read the language in the contract relating to the looped watermain system and that it may be necessary to construct a crossing over Coon Creek when the property to the west is developed. He recommended the Council approve the development agreement and the execution of its provisions by the Mayor and City Clerk. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Kunza, to so move. DISCUSSION: Councilmember Dehn noted there was some concern with the drainage by the residents to the south. She suggested Mr. Windschitl initiate a discussion with those neighbors, specifically the one that addressed the Council at the last meeting. Mr. Windschitl agreed. Motion carried unanimously. AWARD BIDS/CROWN POINTE EAST/IP94-22 Jerry Windschitl, Ashford Development Corporation - stated he delivered the signed development contract and a check for the park fees. All of the easements for the plat have been submitted as well as a Letter of Credit for the two items in the development contract. All final plat approval criteria has been met with the exception of the street light costs. He hopes to have that in tomorrow morning as soon as he finds out what those costs are. Mr. Erickson concurred. The low bid for the project is $636,842.90 by C. W. Houle, Inc. Awarding the bid should be contingent upon the filing of the final plat with the Anoka County Recorder. -~--- -, -- ------- - --- . II Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - March 7, 1995 Page 3 (Award Bids/Crown Pointe East/IP94-22, Continued) MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Kunza, the Resolution as presented accepting bids and awarding contract for the improvement of Project 94- 22 for sanitary sewer, watermain, street and storm drain in Crown pointe East to C. W. Houle, Inc. (See Resolution R030-95) DISCUSSION: After discussion, Staff was directed to be sure that all future contracts awarded by the City include a provision to abide by the Tree Protection Policy with a penalty for damage to trees. Mr. Davidson stated that is not in the contract at this point, but he will relay that concern to this contractor. He didn't think there would be a problem. Mr. Davidson also agreed to add that provision in all future City contracts. Mr. Erickson stated the award should also be contingent upon the City receiving the street light costs. Motion carried unanimously. DECLARE COST/IP93-11/EMERALD GLEN Jerrv Winds chit 1 , Ashford Development Corporation - explained as soon as he and Mr. Stanton have an opportunity to review the costs, the intent is to submit a letter accepting the charges. MOTION by Dehn, Seconded by Jacobson, accepting the Resolution as presented for Project 93-11. (See Resolution R031-95 declaring cost and directing preparation of assessment roll fOr the improvement of watermain, sanitary sewer, streets and storm sewer for Project 93-11, Emerald Glen) Motion carried unanimously. APPROVE EASEMENTS/IP92-25/UNIVERSITY AVENUE MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Kunza, to accept the easements as listed (Schroer, Erickson, Engstrom, Bradford, West, Wade, Bottineau, Sanford, Orttel, Benolkin, DoBrava) Motion carried unanimously. APPROVE PLANS AND SPECS/IP94-32/WELL #5 Mr. Davidson explained the only impact this will have on the project to extend the sanitary sewer is there must be a minimum separation between the well and the sewer line. This only addresses the plans and specifications of the well, not its location. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, the Resolution approving final plans and specifications and ordering advertisement for bids for project No. 94-32, Well *5. (See Resolution R032-95) Motion carried unanimously. AWARD BIDS/IP93-30/BUNKER LAKE BOULEVARD FRONTAGE ROAD Mr. Erickson explained ten bids were received, with the low bid from Hydrocon, Inc. The bid is considerably lower than the original estimate of $461,719. Staff is recommending the bid be awarded to Hydrocon, a reputable contractor which has previously done work for the City. .--- - --- - ·t-~ ----~.---~ ,[ Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - March 7, 1995 Page 4 (Appove Plans & Specs/IP94-32/Well #5, Continued) MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Dehn, to approve the Resolution as presented. (See Resolution R033-95 accepting bids and awarding contract for" Project No. 93-30 for sanitary sewer, watermain, street and storm drain, Bunker Lake Boulevard frontage road to Hydrocon, Inc., $381,772.50) DISCUSSION: Attorney Hawkins advised the City has waivers of trespass on all properties for the project except one parcel which has given the City a right of entry agreement. Once the right-of-way plat is filed, he will proceed with the eminent domain proceeding to acquire the remaining easement; however, everyone has given the City permission to construct the project on their properties. Motion carried unanimously. ACCEPT JIVARO STREET Mr. Erickson reviewed the request of Jeffrey R. and Hope Luedtke to accept the easement for a roadway from them from 161st Avenue to their residence. The City currently quasi-maintains that section of roadway and has done so for more than 17 years. It is listed for minimum maintenance. The street does not have any easement or right-of-way dedication over it. He also noted that there is no easement for a turnaround. The maintenance equipment currently turns around at the Luedtke residence, and he suggested the easement description include a turnaround. Jeffrev Luedtke - explained the easement passes through property owned by Anoka Independent Grain and Feed. Mr. Erickson explained the Luedtke's obtained the easement from Anoka Grain and Feed and in turn would dedicate it to the City. The Council questioned the width, as it is not the legal width of a road. They didn't know of anywhere else in the City where there is such a narrow road easement. Mr. Luedtke - stated they only own the exact width of the easement that has been maintained. He originally asked for a 66-foot easement from Anoka Grain and Feed and was told no. Only one family is being served. In order for Anoka Grain and Feed to develop their property, the streets would have to meet City standards; however, that land is totally zoned Agricultural Preserve. He is not asking for anything. By accepting the dedication, there will be no more traffic because he is the only family that lives back there. That property has been in his family for 56 years. He wants to secure a building permit on his property. Attorney Hawkins advised it is a publicly dedicated road now because the City has maintained it for over six consecutive years. Nothing will change with the acceptance of the easement except formalizing existing rights. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson, that we accept the easement rights being conveyed from Jeffrey R. Luedtke and Hope Luedtke to the City of Andover. Motion carried unanimously. I Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - March 7, 1995 Page 5 DISCUSSION/PROJECT 94-18/TRUNK SANITARY SEWER Mr. Erickson stated in reviewing the alignment for the trunk sanitary sewer line from its existing location north to the northern City property using the parameters given by the Council at the last meeting to remain on City property, additional soil borings have proven that a wider trench construction for the line would be required. That, along with the depth, would seriously impact the Public Works Building and two other buildings would have to be removed. Also, the alignment all on City property along the western property line would mean a large number of very large oak trees in the park area would have to be destroyed. In addition, once the sewer is to the north property line, it must still go west and north in the future; and easements would need to be purchased through the school property, which will be extensively landscaped, to accommodate that installation. Based on these difficulties, another alignment was considered. Mr. Davidson explained the alternative alignment to construct the deep sewer north to Crosstown Boulevard, then extend it approximately 430 feet to the west to get beyond the parking lot area, which would provide for future distribution north to CoRd 20. Also, an 8-inch line would be extended to the north City Hall property line at the depth of 12 to 18 feet along the existing roadway through the center of the park. No public works maintenance garage buildings would be disturbed. The potable and raw water supplies from the new Well #5 would be run within the same right of way at a lesser depth. He felt this is a good alternative. He also explained how some of the other areas east of Hanson Boulevard, north of Crosstown Boulevard, and those to the west of Nightengale would be served. Mr. Davidson also answered several questions from residents in the audience on some specifics of providing sewer and water to various areas. There was some concern expressed about the potential loss of the use of the softball and soccer fields. Because the Field of Dreams will not yet be usable, the fields at City Hall Park Complex #1 are desperately needed. Not having the use of those fields even temporarily would really impact the athletic season. Also, Park and Recreation Commissioners present asked that this project not interfere with the contract to install lights at the two softball fields in this complex. Another concern raised was that the irrigation of the athletic fields be allowed to continue during this construction. Mr. Erickson thought the project could be done such that the use of those fields would not be impacted, as it is anticipated the spoil would be placed to the west. He also noted that the alternate alignment vastly reduces the number of trees that will have to be removed in the northern park area. Mr. Davidson stated they will try to schedule the project to create the least impact to the park area. They may be able to schedule it so the line is laid through the park prior to the season for athletics starting, which is May 15. Mr. Erickson also felt it can be written into the contract that the existing irrigation will be required to be maintained. The Council generally agreed with the alternative alignment as proposed. t . if Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - March 7, 1995 Page 6 1994 BUILDING DEPARTMENT REPORT Mr. Almgren reviewed the 1994 Building Department, highlighting some of the totals of the various categories. Four hundred new homes were constructed in 1994 with an average value of $101,000 each. It is estimated there are approximately 6,500 houses in the City at the present time, times 3.41 residents equals a population of approximately 22,000 at the end of December, 1994. There have been 22 housing permits issued to date for 1995, but there is no way to predict how many more will be issued throughout the year. The Council noted they did not feel the City as a whole could handle more than 400 building permits a year. It was noted there have been discussions in the past on what can be done to control growth. They asked where the Planning Commission is in that process, which was forwarded to them some time ago. It was thought the Commission was to have some recommendation by March. They again asked that the whole issue of controlling growth be considered. 1994 PARKS DEPARTMENT REPORT Kevin Starr, Parks Department, pointed out 25 ball fields are maintained plus 200 acres of turf. Because the Council had not received a copy of the report, it was agreed to table the item to the next meeting. CITY FLAG DISCUSSION Mr. Fursman explained many communities have a City flag as a symbol of strength, unity and identity; and he felt that should be explored. Typically the flag is displayed at community events where public pride is shown. People have asked why Andover does not have a flag to advertise the community. If the Council agrees, he suggested approaching the Andover Lions Club to consider sponsoring a prize for the development of a City flag, so a contest similar to the one held to develop a City logo several years ago could be held in the spring. He was thinking of a monetary gift of $50 to $100 plus recognition of being associated with the design of the flag. Mayor McKelvey stated as president of the Lions Club, he would carry the request to them at their March 15 meeting. HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION Mr. Fursman explained the League of Minnesota Human Rights Commission is urging communities to develop a commission to provide support to victims of acts of bias, hate and/or prejudice. The first step is to establish the Human Rights Commission and accept volunteers from the community to act as a representative of the community. ~--~ ~ ¡ Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - March 7, 1995 Page 7 (Human Rights Commission, Continued) The Council had several question about the League of Minnesota Human Rights Commission, whether it is a part of the State government or is a private agency, is it affiliated with a national organization, whether this is simply adding another layer of bureaucracy, whether there would be cost to the City and/or use of Staff time, is this really needed in Andover. They asked that someone from the League be invited to address the Council on this matter. PRESENTATION TO THE CITY/ANDOVER LIONS CLUB Mayor McKelvey presented a check for $12,000 to the City from the Andover Lions Club. The money is 50 percent of the profits in January and February from pull tabs at Pov's Sports Bar, the agreement made when the City agreed to the charitable gambling license for the Lions. The Lions have requested that the funds go into the park fund. SPECIAL ELECTION MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Kunza, that we authorize a special election to be held on Tuesday, May 9, 1995, to consider the issue of a park bond for the City of Andover, total bonding amount to be $2,925,000; and authorize the Administrator and legal counsel to take whatever measures are necessary to implement the special election. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor MCKelvey noted the request from Brad Povlitski, Pov's Sports Bar, to hold a another special election on Sunday liquor in Andover. He has received a number of calls from residents who were not aware of the last election. Also, less than two percent of the registered voters participated in thaat election, which Mr. povlitski feels is not a true test of whether or not the residents want Sunday liquor. Brad Povlitski, Pov's Sports Bar - was originally frustrated to find out until just before opening that he didn't have a license for liquor on Sunday. He was also under the impression that the City was going to mail a notice to all residents of the special election. If another election is authorized, he would campaign very heavily to get the word out. He didn't feel 600-plus votes accurately reflected the wishes of the residents. If it is voted down a second time, he will accept it; but he would like another chance. A large percentage of his business is based on weekend softball tournaments. That is why he built the club. Without the ability to serve liquor on Sundays, he will not get the tournaments. That would mean a substantial loss in revenue and a loss in his investment. Sundays would be one of his biggest days; and without liquor, it means a considerable loss. He has been open on Sundays serving 3-2 beer, but there has been a loss of a lot of customers because of the inability to serve liquor. He employs 75 to 80 people; and with tournament activities, that would increase to 130 employees. ..- ---- ([ Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - March 7, 1995 Page 8 (Special Election, Continued) A resident felt there was a lack of communication in the City because many people didn't know about the election. He approached Mr. povlitski to get a sponsorship for a youth team, which Pov's did willingly. The establishment supports the community and its youth, and he felt 600-plus voters is not representative of what the residents want. Another gentleman with the Andover Baseball Association noted the demonstrated willingness of the establishment to work with and support the youth. He also felt the first election did not represent the feeling of the residents. Mayor McKelvey felt the question should be placed on the ballot since a special election is already being held on May 9 . Councilmember Dehn felt that the City does not have much industrial property available, and that the existing businesses should be supported. MOTION by Dehn, Seconded by Kunza, to allow a special election for Sunday liquor to be placed on the ballot for May 9 . DISCUSSION: Councilmember Jacobson stated he is opposed to liquor in general, but he will vote present to allow this election because he felt Mr. povlitski deserves a second chance and to allow the people to decide. He also noted that if the vote is in favor, the matter must still be approved by the City Council. Mr. Fursman noted Mr. Povlitski paid for the cost of the last special election on the Sunday liquor issue. Recognizing the City is holding an election for the park bond issue at the same time and the costs for this issue are reduced, he asked if the Council wanted Mr. Pov1itski to pay for at least a portion of the costs of this election. The Council disagreed, arguing the City would not require anyone else to pay for a portion of the costs. They did not feel there would be a great deal of additional cost for the election that would be associated O~lY-r with the Sunday liquor question. They did not want to set a ~Of charging for elections when the City has one already sch'duled. Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Present (Jacobson) vote. ~ ~:¡'lþ5" FORFEIT LAND/ROANOKE STREET MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Dehn, that the City Council request of Anoka County Land Commissioner to purchase the forfeit parcel of land known as PIN 13 32 25 44 0019 for the acquisition price of $10. Motion carried unanimously. The Council recessed at this time to hold an executive session with the City Attorney, 8:55 p.m.; reconvened at 9:27 p.m. MAYOR/COUNCIL INPUT Response to W. Holasek's Storm Drainage Concerns - The Council directed Staff and Mr. Davidson to prepare a written detailed response to Mr. Holasek's questions and concerns on the entire storm drainage issue. Mr. Davidson agreed to prepare the response and discuss it with Staff. __n. ----~-- - Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - March 7, 1995 Page 9 A~ 31~1/~s- (Mayor/Council Input, Contir¡ued) n , ~ .n.___.....~-tk~.J...c~ 5~~"".Q. tJ...k>u-<AL~ '^"-'''''"''-''''"'_.., ~" sitL-. Update of ACqUisition~f Auto Salvage Yards - Attorney Hawkins explained he met with representa ives from the county concerning the appraisal on the auto salvage yards Also, Staff is researching costs to get those parcels cleaned up. Those costs will be brought back to the county to convince them the appraisals are far in excess of what the land is worth. He has drafted a purchase agreement for Mom's Auto Parts, but the owner has not yet finalized it. There has been no progress with the other auto salvage yards because they have been unable to find places in which to relocate. Mr. Fursman noted the City may need to consider not only purchasing the property, but purchasing the businesses as well. Attorney Hawkins felt the City should continue with its plan of development, which will make the property more valuable. Snowmobile Complaints - Councilmember Kunza reported a call he received from 14370 Yucca Street complaining about snowmobiles. He felt something needs to be done because the people are getting angry. Council discussion was on other complaints they received or experienced. Councilmember Dehn reported on the meeting of the Snowmobile Task Force and some of the suggestions. It was the feeling of the Task Force that it would be next year before anything can be implemented. The Andover Snowmobile Club is proposing they take an active part in regulating themselves plus concentrate more on education. No specific action was taken. Public Works Storage - Councilmember Kunza felt the storage behind Public Works is unsightly, plus expensive machinery is stored outside. He wondered what can be done. Mayor McKelvey stated he has talked with the Public Works Superintendent about the problem, and research is being done on how to get another building. It was mentioned in further discussion that consideration should be given to other methods of storage for seasonal equipment, the need for additional storage bays for the equipment and to maintain it, and a possible long-term scenario of constructing the main public works facilities in the Commercial Park with only a satellite at the present location. No action was taken. Joint Meeting with Anoka and Ramsey City Councils - Councilmember Kunza stated he was approached by an Anoka Councilmember regarding a joint meeting with the three Councils to discuss mutual concerns and ways to work together. The Council indicated a similar meeting was held before. They generally supported such a meeting and asked if the Anoka Council would host it. Employee Salaries - Councilmember Kunza noted a Public Works employee is resigning to take a position with another City for $2 an hour more. Given the additional expense of hiring and training a new employee, he asked if the salary schedule for Andover is equitable. Discussion was the City has given enormous pay increases recently to bring them in line with the Stanton Average. Council expressed regret that this employee, who brought a great deal of experience to the City, is leaving; however, they also noted the mobile trend in employment and the inability to negotiate with an individual employee because of union negotiations.
