Slow-No Wake Ordinance Update
Mr. Carlberg explained that Council had asked staff to contact the City of Ramsey
regarding the possibility of installing signs along the erosion sensitive areas of the Rum
River. The City of Ramsey has not responded as of yet. Staff also contacted the DNR
and they felt that our proposal is acceptable and they would assist the city in
determining the locations of the signs, Anoka County also noted they would support
us in posting signs at the accesses. Councilmember Knight asked if we had detennined
where the 200 foot areas

(Slow-No Wake Ord., Cont.)
along the river are located. Mr. Carlberg explained that almost the entire river is 200
feet wide or less. Councilmember Orttel suggested that the City of Anoka also be
contacted.
Focus Session ResultsjLeonard Parker & Associates
Colleen Nelson, Leonard Parker & Associates reviewed the summary results from the
July 9, 1997 meeting. The vision statement focuses on the 90 acre parcel that the city
will be developing. This will serve as a focal point establishing community identity.
Site development will be oriented to professional and high- tech employment with
limited neighborhood/community retail. Landscaping to create buffer zones, open
space and continuity of trailway /bikeway systems will be utilized to enhance
Andover's identity as a community with a rural history and dedication to the
preservation of the natural environment. It will also create quality long-term
development and jobs.
Council agreed that the vision statement covers what the city had requested.
Ms. Nelson reviewed the remainder of the report noting that the master development
plan and platting of the property should be completed by December 1997. There will
be a final presentation to the Council in December, She also noted that Tobin Real
Estate will be handling the marketing strategy.
Councilmember Orttel asked if there are funds available to complete this process. The
balance remaining would be $20,600.00. Mr. Fursman stated there are TIF and CDBG
funds available.
MOTION by Orttel, seconded by Dehn to accept the report by Leonard Parker and
Associates and authorize completion of the contract as presented August 15,1997.
Motion carried on a 4 yes, I absent (Kunza) vote.
Hearinw'Private Kennel License¡'E. O/so71/17900 Uplander Street NW
Mr. Carlberg reviewed the request of Eugene Olson for a private dog kennel with 6 - 8
dogs. In 1995 an amendment to Ordinance 53 was adopted separating private and
commercial kennel licenses, This is the first private kennel license hearing to be held
pursuant to that ordinance amendment. Abutting property owners have been notified
of the hearing. The ordinance relates to nuisance issues, barking, etc., but not to the
breed of dog. If a license is issued and complaints are received, the item can go back to
the Council for possible revocation.

(Private Kennel License, Cont.)
Council questioned the difference between private and commercial kennels with Mr.
Carlberg explaining that commercial kennels are operated for monetary gain and
private kennels are for personal enjoyment.
Councilmember Orttel asked if the dogs that Mr. Olson has are pit bulls. Mr. Carlberg
stated that they checked with the Andover Pet Clinic who said that they are a variety
of pit bull.
Because Mr. Olson has some of his dogs on chains and the yard is not fenced, Council
felt that the ordinance needed some verbage regarding kennels as chains are not
satisfactory. Council acknowledged a letter that was received from Todd Craft, 17850
Uplander Street NW expressing his concern about the lack of kennels and fencing. He
is concerned with the safety of the children and adults if one of these dogs should
happen to get loose.
Eugene Olson, 17900 Uplander Street NW explained that his dogs are for his personal
use with maybe a little breeding. The females are kept in kennels and the males are
kept chained. Eventually all of the dogs will be in kennels.
Council felt that the ordinance should be reviewed and some limits and restrictions be
adopted, such as annual reviews and the number of dogs allowed.
Dave Sollers, 2351 - 180th Avenue NW expressed concern with what constitutes a
kennel and an enclosure, the type of dog Mr. Olson has, how they are kenneled, the
type of enclosure, and how the animals are maintained. Right now the dogs don't run
free and don't cause problems.
Mary Scott, 18001 Uplander Court NW is concerned about preventing anything
happening to the children in the neighborhood. She spoke to the Humane Society
regarding pit bulls and they said they will not adopt out a pit bull. She noted that Mr.
Olson does take good care of his dogs.
Mayor McKelvey asked Council to direct staff to take the ordinance back to the
Planning and Zoning Commission for possible changes.
MOTION by Knight, seconded by Dehn to table this item until the ordinance has been
reviewed. Motion carried unanimously.

Discuss Well and Storage Tank Site/Shadowbrook
Mr. Erickson noted that during the preliminary plat discussion on Shadowbrook it was
indicated that a well and water storage facility site may need to be reserved within this
development. Staff's recommendation is that a storage tank site is not needed but a
well location should be reserved.
Council asked that staff be sure that the lot we acquire is a satisfactory building site so
that if we don't need the well, the lot can be sold and built on.
Winslow Holasek asked if a test well would be drilled and if the water is not good, will
the well be capped. Councilmember Orttel explained that the well would be sealed all
the way down. Mr. Holasek asked what the status is of the test well on the old
Andover School site. Mr. Erickson stated that it should be capped and if it has not
been done as of this time he will see that it does get done.
Approve Final Plat/Chesterton Commons
Mr. Carlberg requested that Council approve the final plat of Chesteron Commons
with the 15 conditions listed on the resolution. Mayor McKelvey asked if the
developer was aware of the conditions. Mr. Carlberg noted that he was given a copy
of the conditions. Jerry Windschitl, Ashford Development, noted that they have taken
care of most of the conditions listed.
MOTION by Orttel, seconded by Knight to adopt the resolution approving the final
plat of Che5teron Commons as presented. Motion carried on a 4 yes, 1 absent (Kunza)
vote. (See Resolution 199-97)
Discuss Status of Change Order for Hamilton Square/97-26
Mr. Erickson updated Council on the progress of the Hamilton Square project noting
that the site is currently being graded. Staff has received prices from 2 contractors who
are currently working in the city to include this project in their contracts. Council will
act On this at the first meeting in September. It was noted that Mork Clinic will be
having a ground breaking on Monday, August 25th and the Post Office is planning for
either fall or spring construction.
Call for Youth First Town Meeting
Mr. Fursman asked Council to call a Town Meeting for the purpose of discussing
youth issues with Andover residents. Anoka and Ramsey have both approved town
meetings for September 11, 1997. There is a consortium of activity about issues facing
youth and what everyone can do to provide a positive environment for them.

(Youth First Town Meeting, Cont.)
The meeting in Andover is set up for September 11, 1997 at the Oak View Middle
School.
Councilmember Orttel questioned how this started. Mayor McKelvey stated that the
principal from Washington Elementary School started it with a grant from Mercy
Medical Center. It was also noted that county officials, schools and churches are also
involved. The whole idea of the program is to educate.
Charles Veiman, 13646 Crooked Lake Boulevard noted that Keith Howard is very
involved in this in Coon Rapids if anyone would like to contact him for further
information.

vote.
Mayor/Council Input
Councilmember Oehn noted that the Snowmobile Task Force met last week and the
Sno-Oragons expressed concern about where they could ride on the trail system. It
was also noted that oIÙY 20 citations were issued last winter. Councilmember Orttel
asked if the city could purchase a snowmobile and have one of the deputies patrol the
city on it and tag violators. Mr. Fursman stated that he will ask the Sheriff to discuss
this issue at the next Council meeting that he attends.
Payment of Claims
MOTION by Knight, seconded by Oehn to approve the payment of claims for
$1,464,866.79. Motion carried on a 4 yes, 1 absent (Kunza) vote.
