1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD NW. . ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304. (612) 755-5100
SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING - FEBRUARY 20, 1996
MINUTES
A Special Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by
Mayor Jack McKelvey on February 20, 1996, 6:05 p.m., at Andover City
Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota.
Councilmembers present: Dehn (arrived at 6:35 p.m.), Jacobson, Knight
Councilmember absent: Kunza
Also present: City Engineer, Scott Erickson
City Planning Director, Dave Carlberg
City Finance Director, Jean McGann
City Building Official, David Almgren
City Administrator, Richard Fursman
REDEVELOPMENT OF COMMERCIAL PARK AREA
Mr. Erickson explained the key to when the City starts expanding the
commercial park is to determine when to start selling the lots. The
construction of Commercial Boulevard is in process; but once that is in,
there will not be much area available for development. Some lots can be
created to the south and one or two to the north. Mr. Carlberg reviewed
the proposed design for the frontage road along Bunker Lake Boulevard
which attempts to create high-retail lots at the corners with the
service road around. In addition, a portion of the frontage road will
run along Bunker Lake Boulevard so people will see it and know how to
get to the commercial area. The area next to Bunker Lake Boulevard
would probably be rezoned to General Business, and the industrial area
with larger lots would be to the south of that.
Councilmember Knight questioned the need to align the eastern end with
Quinn Street. If it continued straight to access onto Bunker Lake"a
nicer lot would be created than if the street is curved as shown. Mr.
Erickson explained the attempt was to align it with the existing street
to the north. The street also jogs around the pond on the Mom's Auto
property. Mayor McKelvey had reservations with the frontage road which
curves down on both ends.
Councilmember Jacobson did not like the layout with everything being
straight and square. He wanted to make an attempt to beautify the area
with cul-de-sacs, berms, trees and other amenities that would make the
area stand out visually. Mr. Fursman stated they will try to deepen and
widen the ponds, so there will be some nice wildlife area scattered
throughout the park. Councilmember Knight wanted to see the Planner
look at trying to attract some type of specialized trade into that area.
Mr. Fursman asked if the City wants to design the lots now or to turn it
into a PUD for lot development because the amount of land needed by each
business cannot be anticipated. The Council generally preferred aPUD
development with lots created as needed by firms purchasing the land.
Another suggestion was for Staff to provide several more conceptual
drawings of street configurations, keeping in mind the desire for plenty
of room for landscaping and trees.

(Redevelopment of Commercial Park Area, Continued)
(Councilmember Dehn arrived at this time, 6:35 p.m.)
The Council also agreed to do as much of the construction as possible
this year and to begin selling lots as soon as possible. Mr. Erickson
stated a feasibility could be done for the service road along Bunker
Lake Boulevard and included it with the contract of Commercial Boulevard
this year. Discussion was on speculation as to when the City will be
able to purchase the remaining properties within the commercial area,
possible lot configurations, and properties that may need to be
condemned for redevelopment. Councilmember Dehn asked that every effort
be made to negotiate the purchases before going the route of
condemnation.
It was agreed the feasibility of the service road should be done as soon
as possible and the project done this year.
The Special Meeting was adjourned at 6:50 p.m.
