ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304. (612) 755-5100 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - SEPTEMBER 3, 1996 MINUTES The Regular Bi-Monthly Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by Mayor Jack McKelvey on September 3, 1996, 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 Finance Director, Jean McGann F Community Development Director, Dave Carlberg City Administrator, Richard Fursman Others RESIDENT FORUM Roqer Sharon. 14569 Garden Court - asked if the City had a building permit for the gazebo that is setting out front. Was it moved without a moving permit? He accused the City of operating on two standards, one for the public and one for the City. There was a watering ban, yet the City was watering the fields at Sunshine Park four times a day. He was told that no signs are allowed in the easements, yet there are election signs in the boulevards all over, especially at the intersection of Andover and Hanson Boulevards. He wanted to be sure the sign ordinance is enforced, even for those running for City offices. Mayor McKelvey noted the City has no jurisdiction over the county boulevards. Mr. Sharon suggested the county be contacted. Mr. Carlberg stated they will contact the Anoka County Highway Department tomorrow about those signs. Mr. sharon stated he is talking about all signs. He wanted the City to be following the same rules the residents have to follow and that the sign ordinance is enforced. Dave O'Toole. 13429 Jonquil - stated he asked to move a building and was told he had to follow the ordinance that was adopted in 1968 when it was Grow Township. He felt many of the items no longer apply. Three forms of security are required, which will cost him over $100 to obtain. He felt the items should be either/or; not all are necessary. Other businesses do not need to meet those requirements when they go down his street. A.ttorney Hawkins stated when the City was incorporated in 1974, all ordinances were adopted by the city. Mr. O'Toole felt the ordinance needs to be reviewed. He will have to pay a $75 building permit and other unnecessary expenses, meaning the City is collecting building permits twice. It is not a new building and there is no new inspection. The building permit fees should not apply, nor should he have to pay the City to move the building across the street as long as he pays for any damage. The ordinance does not treat the citizens like it treats the businesses that operate in the City. Mr. Carlberg stated the Planning Commission will soon begin the process of reviewing all of the ordinances. . ..., 1 -- Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 3, 1996 Page 2 AGENDA APPROVAL Add Item Sa, Anoka Conservation District on Stenciling Storm Water Drainage.

Those issues are transportation, education and protecting the environment. CONSIDERATION OF ANOlCA COUNTY SHERIFF CONTRACT/MONTHLY REPORT Anoka County Sheriff Larry Podany introduced Lieutenant Scott Bechthold, who will be assisting in Andover. Captain Lenny Christ reported on last month's activities within Andover, which included 121 traffic arrests, 16 misdemeanor arrests, 30 car accidents and 16 medicals. The Community Service Officers assisted with 30 vehicle lockouts and 83 animal complaints. The Department did 2 pro- active enforcement in various parts of Andover on August 16 and 17 which consisted of 124 man hours on the 16th and 116 man hours on thp. 17th. They made contact with 39 people, made 10 arrests and 3 curfew violations. In discussing the proposed law enforcement contract for 1997, the Council questioned the increase in FICA and vehicle maintenance. Captain Christ explained the FICA costs for all sworn officers were not billed to the City in the past. Those costs are now being passed to Andover as they are doing in other cities. It is important that they be equitable to all cities. The contract is based on a three percent raise for each of the eight officers. He also referenced his memo on the reason for the increase in vehicle maintenance. The 1997 vehicle maintenance costs are based on actual experience of the first six months of 1996 and projected over twelve months. The amounts shown in the 1996 contract were estimates because it was not known how much the increase1 coverage of the CSO vehicle would cost. He also noted that equipment and radios are frequently upgraded or replaced. That comes from the $0.18/mile charged to the City. Sheriff Podany explained when a vehicle is sold, the money from the auction goes toward the contract of a new car. Also, one person will now be assigned to review all grants, so hopefully both the county and cities will be able to take advantage of grants that may be available. He still believes the City gets cheaper and tougher protection tnrough the Sheriff's Department for the money spent. Ms. McGann noted there is a typo in the PERA for 1996, as it should be $361,000. With that correction, the percentage of increase for 1997 works out. Council questioned the cost of severance pay. Sheriff Podany explained that is the accumulated vacation and sick leave owed to an officer who leaves the Department. It is an operating cost of each officer that must be budgeted for. Mr. Fursman stated the City's proposed 1997 budget has been adjusted to reflect the amount of $600,184 for the Anoka County Sheriff Contract. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 3, 1996 Page 4 SET TRUTH IN TAXATION HEARING The Council agreed to set the Truth in Taxation initial hearing for Wednesday, December 4, 1996, with the continuation hearing on Tuesday, December 12, 1996. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Dehn, to so move. Motion carried unanimously. LIVABLE COMMUNITIES ACT Mr. Fursman explained the Metropolitan Council is contacting all communities to determine if they would be interested in being a part of the Livable Communities Act. The biggest advantage to Andover to join now would be to obtain funds to clean up contaminated land to support economic development. Those funds are not available to Andover if i~ does not become a part of this Act. There was a mistake in the estimate of how much the City would have to contribute to join the Act. They had first said it would be between $13,000 and $18,000 a year. They are now saying it would cost the City $1,751 for 1997. Councilmember Dehn stated she still felt it amounts to a type of blackmail for the City. They promise many things but in return will demand certain types of life styles that the City may not want to promote. Councilmember Kunza felt the same way. Councilmember Knight stated there is no free lunch. The real hook is the City would have to provide a certain amount of low cost and senior housing. Mr. Fursman explained that would be negotiated and agreed to. If the City does not agree, it can opt out of the program. It would not cost the City any money, as CDBG funds are already being spent. The real question is does the City want to control its own destiny and determine how it will grow or does it want to follow the Metropolitan Council. Mayor McKelvey felt it would benefit the City to have the funding for the cleanup of contaminated material in the commercial sites on Andover Boulevard. Also, the City can opt out at any time. Councilmember Jacobson didn't see a change from the last time this was presented. The City is promised money to clean up hazardous waste for the fee of approximately $1,700 a year. It is a philosophical question of whether the City is going to have the Metropolitan Council tell it what to do. There has been talk of making the program mandatory and questions of whether changes in zoning will be required to make smaller lots available so housing is more affordable. Will they mandate that apartments be built in the City? The City is being told no at this time, but similar positions have changed in the past. He'd prefer the City wait to see what happens in the State Legislature this year. People can vote the Council out of office if they don't like what the C~uncil does; however, if the Met Council is in control and the people don't like what they are doing, there is nothing that can be done. with a majority of the Council opposing the proposal, no action was taken at this time. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 3, 1996 Page 5 SKETCH PLAN/WOODLAND ESTATES Lawrence Carlson, President of Woodland Development, reviewed the proposed sketch plan of Woodland Estates which consists of approximately 160 urban residential lots. The biggest issue has been the possibility of designating an MSA route that would affect the development. From a developer and resident standpoint, he is opposed. As shown now with no specific designated location, it makes it impossible for the landowner to sell the property at a reasonable price. It was noted at the Planning Commission that possibly Woodland had known about the MSA designation prior to the purchase of the property. Mr. Carlson stated he purchased the property himself and had no knowledge of the suggested MSA route. It is not of legal record, as they had the title checked. If he had known about it, that would have been taken into account when he purchased the property; and they would have come to the City to discuss it to find out where it will be located and when it will be constructed. He doesn't buy land when he doesn't know what can be done with it. He has since asked how long the route can remain designated on the map, and the answer was forever. He is totally opposed to an MSA route through there, and so are his neighbors. If he doesn't want it on his property. he wouldn't want to push it over to his neighbor's land either. Mr. Carlson gave examples of other major roads to the north and south to prove that this proposed MSA route is not necessary since there are sufficient roadways to carry the traffic. It is also a very expensive road because of the terrain and will destroy a fair amount of wetland. He didn't think the City should be constructing the road just because the county won't upgrade their roads to carry the traffic. Most of the traffic will go south and slightly east to get to major arterials, as there is no impetus for people to travel west. He suggested perhaps since it is the type of roadway that benefits the entire community, the City should buy the easements from the property owners. Without a study or documented reason for the road, he preferred it be dropped from the map and the funds used elsewhere in the City. In reviewing the sketch plan, Mr. Carlson stated he was told that the county would be straightening the intersection of Nightingale and Crosstown Boulevard. The county asked that the northern exit from the plat be placed even further north. They agreed. That means that a cul- de-sac will probably not be needed on the east end of the plat, as the street will simply curve around. There had been discussions of a small park and trail system through the plat, but the Park and Recreation Commission is recommending cash in lieu of land. Staff has asked for d small area of land on which to locate a new well and pumphouse. They are agreeable. Also, the Laptudas will retain their house. They have asked to use the shed for a number of years, after which it will be removed. He did not know if the Laptudas will have direct access off Crosstown Boulevard or will use the internal City street. Councilmember Jacobson suggested more thought be put into planning the roads to eliminate problems in the future of fast traffic on a straight away stretch of road. In California there are islands at intersections so people must slow down. He'd like to see the speeding issue addressed Regular Andover Ci ty Council Meeting Minutes - September 3, 1996 Page 6 (Sketch Plan/Woodland Estates, Continued) in the planning stage to prevent problems in the future. He suggested ending the eastern most north-south street with two cul-de-sacs in the middle rather than have a through street. That may also eliminate some of the double-frontage lots along Crosstown Boulevard. It was also his opinion that if the properties to the south and west will not be developed in the future because of the terrain, the roads should not be extended to the property line. Mr. Carlberg explained the developer did provide a sketch of how the properties to the north, west and south could be developed in the future. There is a strip of property to the west that could be developed. Beyond that, the peat gets quite deep. The ordinance does require the developer to provide address to adjacent property if it can be developed. Councilmember Dehn asked why not leave the land designated as farm land. Not every piece of land in the City needs to be developed. Councilmember Jacobson noted the trees are not shown on the sketch plan. He was very concerned that the trees not be removed unless necessary. Mr. Carlson agreed. Councilmember Jacobson stated because the plat is located so close to the schools and the City's main park, some provision should be considered to get across Crosstown Boulevard. He felt the need to make provisions for that crossing must be addressed now. It may mean setting aside an easement for an underground crossing when the road is reconstructed, or some other provision made as a location where the City wants the children to cross the road. Mr. Erickson then presented the Staff report on the plat and the proposed MSA road. He pointed out that when fully developed, the City will have approximately 40,000 residents; so the amount of traffic will double. The proposed MSA designation will distribute traffic fr0m the City Hall and park complex and the schools to the western area of the City. Now there are only three routes that can be used which are located to the north and south. The traffic volume now on CoRd 20 is 5,000 vehicles per day, which will probably double. The bulk of Andover residents are commuters, so it is important that the transportation system adequately distributes that traffic. While the proposed MSA road may not be constructed at this time, it is important to reserve that ability to construct it when needed. The key item is not to impact the agricultural properties, and the City is working on a policy to defer assessments so ag properties are not affected. That MSA designation has been on the map for years and is the last potential east-west connection through the City. Mr. Erickson also noted that the property must be served with municipal sewer and water. The trunk sewer line will need to be extended past the parking lot at the Sunshine Park. That would be a City-initiated project. There would be no assessments to adjacent properties for this project. They will be reviewing that further. Another issue is that there is no readily available outlet for drainage for the site. The developers will have to deal with the watershed on that issue. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 3, 1996 Page 7 (Sketch Plan/Woodland Estates, Continued) Councilmember Jacobson was concerned that the City have the funds necessary to pay for the bonds to construct that very deep trunk sewer line. Ms. McGann felt those funds would be available, but she will dc an analysis and report back to the Council. Councilmember Dehn stated she is not in favor of the proposed MSA road going through farm land. It is difficult to get machinery across the street. It becomes a safety issue which affects the life style and livelihood of those farmers. Councilmember Knight said the Road Committee was under the impression that the designation had been removed some time ago when a developer came in with a sketch plan for p~~perty off Round Lake Boulevard and 149th Avenue. He also questioned whether the high cost of building the road through the peat would warrant the road at all. A resident asked the Council to take into consideration the fact that the access onto Round Lake Boulevard at 149th Avenue is right on the curve posted for 55 mph. An MSA road would bring a lot of traffic to that dangerous intersection. Mayor McKelvey stated the designation for an east-west road was made when there was only one fire station in the City. Since the one has been constructed in the northwest, there is less need for this one; and he didn't see any route that he would be interested in. He did not think the access on the curve on Round Lake Boulevard was safe. Councilmember Kunza also thought that designation had been removed. He too felt the intersection at Round Lake BoulevarJ would be dangerous and that the county would never warrant a signal at that location. He is definitely against the road. Councilmember Jacobson agreed with the others, stating the designation should have been deleted a while ago; though he agreed it was the Staff's responsibility to bring the issue to their attention. MOTION by Dehn, Seconded by Knight, to remove the MSA status of the road across the properties in question and to redesignate anothe:t- route. DISCUSSION: Mr. Erickson stated Staff will prepare an official resolution for the Council to consider for the next Council meeting. Councilmembers Dehn and Knight withdrew the Second and the Motion. MOTION by Dehn, Seconded by Knight, to request Staff to bring back a Resolution of the motion just presented on the September 17 meeting. Motion carried unanimously. DISCUSS REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST/INGO SCHALWIG Mr. Erickson explained Ingo Schalwig, 2281 174th Circle NW, is requesting the City reimburse him for work he had contracted on a Cit,' drainage swale. The swale is now functioning properly, but the work done was well beyond what the City would have constructed to resolve the problem. Erosion was occurring at the end of a bituminous flume, and typically the City would repair it. The Public Works Superintendent Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 3, 1996 Page 8 (Discuss Reimbursement Request jIngo SChalwig, Continued) had estimated the City's cost to repair it would have been approximately $700. He talked with Mr. Schalwig about a possible reimbursement of up to $700, but Mr. Schalwig felt that wasn't acceptable and wanted $1,000. Mr. Erickson continued that a concern of the Staff is the improvement wasn't directed by the City. They receive nUmerous phone calls from property owners wanting improvements, but the City doesn't maintain drainage swales to the extent a private owner would. If the City open8 it up to allowing property owners to make their own improvements and then ask for reimbursement, it could open up a Pandora's box. The drainage easement wasn't on the property line where it should have been. It is a very wide easement, though he has not had it surveyed. The Council noted it appears the problem began in 1991. Mr. Erickson stated the improvements were made a number of years ago, and there have been negotiations with the property owner since that time. Frank Stone, Public Works Superintendent, explained he and Mr. Haas met with the property owner. It appeared the buried trees washed out in the drainage area, which made a big hole. He thought the City removed the trees and filled the hole with sand, which is the normal procedure. He could not remember if the City put down black dirt and seed. Because the buried trees are the responsibility of the developer, the developer is willing to contribute $350 toward a settlement with Mr. Schalwig. Ingo Schalwig explained the drainage is on his property. When it rains, there is too much water running from too large of an area at too steep of a pitch; so the water just pours into the flume and washes away the sugar sand. He didn't feel he had much time to resolve the problem and was afraid his garage would fall as a result of the washout. H2 considered it an emergency and took it into his own hands to do it right. He didn't know what else could have been done because of the sugar sand and the steep slope. Another option would be to move the easement over 20 yards where it belongs. He has tried to get this resolved on numerous occasions. At this time he'd settle for a reimbursement of $1,790. His total bill was $2,890. The offer of $700 from the City was an insult, thinking the washout and yards of dirt that would be needed would cost considerably more. In further Council discussion, it was determined that it would have cost the City at least $700 to repair the problem, plus it would cost another $700 to move the easement to the property line. That $1,400 plus the $350 offered from Woodland Development to settle the issue, would result in a total reimbursement for Mr. Schalwig of $1,750. Mr. Schalwig indicated at this time that he would settle for that amount. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to make an offer on the City's part of $1,400 subject to the property owner granting the easement where the ditch actually is now; ask the Staff and Attorney to write up the resolution so this will not set a precedent later on. Motion carried unanimously. - -- _.. ." Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 3, 1996 Page 9 ANOICA CONSERVATION DISTRICT ON STENCILING STORM WATER DRAINAGE MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Dehn, the City concur with the stenciling project for storm sewer projects in the City and allow the stenciling project to proceed. Motion carried unanimously. ADOPT PRELIMINARY BUDGET/ADOPT PROPOSED 1997 LEVY Councilmember Knight asked if the dollar increase equals what was decided at the budget meeting. Ms. McGann stated yes. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Kunza, approve (See Resolution R196-96 adopting the City of Andover 1997 proposed property tax levy to be certified to the County Auditor and establishing the proposed budget for the General Fund) Motion carried unanimously. APPROVE FINAL PLAT/HUNTER'S HOLLOW Councilmember Knight asked if all aspects of the agreement with the property owners is in place. Mayor McKelvey stated the property owners are happy about what is being done. Those residents affected are willing to grant the necessary easements for the cul-de-sac. MOTION by Dehn, Seconded by Kunza, the Resolution approving the final plat of Hunter's Hollow. (See Resolution RI97-96) Motion carried unanimously. MAYOR/COUNCIL INPUT Traffic survey in Woodland Terrace - Mr. Fursman stated the survey will. be distributed this Friday to the residents in Woodland Terrace. Update on the Commercial Park activities - Attorney Hawkins updated the Council on agreements reached for the purchase of properties in the auto salvage area. Mr. Fursman noted the City has received written approval from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on its plan for development of the entire area. Crooked Lake Boulevard road project - Council indicated there seems to be some confusion as to what was decided on the Crooked Lake Boulevard reconstruction project. Mr. Erickson stated Staff was asked to talk with the county about possible reimbursement on the storm water project at the intersection of Crooked Lake and Bunker Lake Boulevards. They will talk with the county and with the adjacent property owners in an attempt to resolve the storm drainage problem in that area so the project can proceed next year.
