Motion carried on a 4- Yes, I-Absent (Knight) vote. ANOKA COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PROCLAMATION/ANDOVER SNO- DRAGONS' SNOWMOBILE CLUB A representative from the Metro North Chamber of Commerce read a Proclamation commending the Andover Sno-Dragons for their commitment to snowmobile safety and community service. He also invited the Council to an economic development forum the Chamber is hosting the end of September to look at what is needed to provide a vibrant economy in the northern suburbs. A representative from the Andover Sno-Dragons' Snowmobile Club thanked the Chamber for the Proclamation and thanked the Council for working with them to keep snowmobiling in Andover. LOT SPLITIVARIANCE/697 UIST LANE NWÆLLIS/SCHENEMAN Mr. Carlberg reviewed the lot split and variance request of Tracy and Mike Ellis and Linda an Ken Scheneman of property owned by Ashford Development Corporation, then combine the remnant parcels to their respective lots. The Planning Commission was concerned about separating a parcel that has existing lot lines and with building setbacks in the future. Following this item is a Pliblic hearing to vacate the easements along that lot line. There doesn't appear to be any City easement problems, nor any utility lines in that vacant lot that would affect the split. Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Dehn, approving the lot split and variance (Resolution R137-98). Motion carried on a 4- Yes, I-Absent (Knight) vote. PUBLIC HEARING: VARIANCE OF EASEMENT/697 U1ST LANE NWÆLLIS/ SCHENEMAN 7:36 p.m. Mayor McKelvey opened the public hearing for testimony. There was none. Motion by Kunza, Seconded by Dehn' to close the public hearing. Motion carried on a 4- Yes, 1- Absent (Knight) vote. 7:36 p.m. Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Kunza, to approve the Resolution granting the vacation of easement (Resolution R138-98) Motion carried on a 4- Yes, I-Absent (Knight) vote. ..- ._- --. -- _.-~ Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - July 7, 1998 Page 4 PUBLIC HEARING: IP98-I3/FOX MEADOWS/STREETS 7:37 p.m. Mr. Erickson stated the City has received a petition from the residents in Fox Meadows to have their streets paved. Of the 27 lots, 20 have petitioned for the improvement. The project is proposed to be 2 Yz inches of asphalt surface on a gravel base. There will be no curbing, as they will maintain the existing ditch. The estimated cost per lot is $4,720. Mayor McKelvey opened the hearing for public testimony. 7:39 p.m. Jen;y Neises. 4101 South Enchanted Drive - stated the cost will be about $S,OOO but he will not get any increase in his property value according to Jerry Leone, the county assessor. He felt he will get a decrease in dust, but probably an increase in traffic and speed. He was concerned with the way the petition was handled. He was solicited on the phone, and he said he would vote no. He doesn't want it; but the petition was never brought to him to sign. He felt this is underhanded and stated there are 29 lots in the development and asked to see how many people voted for and against the project on his street. Brad Zimmerman. IS900 Dakota Street - said the petition was done four or five years ago and some people were against it at that time. He signed for the project. Fox Street was not included because no one expressed any interest, and the City told him it would be acceptable to leave out that street. Apparently now there is some interest by the people along Fox Street. On person on Dakota Street doesn't want it. Those along Dakota Street would like that street done even if the other streets are not done at this time. Mr. Zimmerman also stated he has been informed by the gas line that runs through his property that they are going to do a major project next year. He hoped that something could be put in this project that any utility work for the next five years or so would have to go under the road and not have to tear up the newly improved street. Mr. Erickson didn't know about the gas company's plans, but Staff will contact them before this project begins regarding the timing of the work to be done by both entities. The City is also concerned with not having the road torn up a year or two later. He also showed a map indicating which lots voted for and against the project. On Enchanted Drive, three were in favor and three were opposed. Typically the Council will order a project if SO percent or more of the parcels wants it. Pam Larsen. 4121 160th Lane - had no idea there was a petition until she received the letter from the City. She is not excited about the project. She's in the middle of selling her house and will have to renegotiate the contract if this is ordered. She understood from the City Engineer that there was going to be a vote tolÚght. Mayor McKelvey stated the Council will vote on the project, not the residents. Margaret Mulville. IS921 Dakota Street NW - would like the paved road. If the City doesn't want to do the other roads, at least do Dakota Street. Mr. Erickson stated Enchanted Drive is paved east of this subdivision. There has been some renewed interest to pave Fox Street. If so, a separate public hearing would have to be held. To take advantage of this project which generally means ..- - ---~~----~.-- ~_., - Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - July 7, 1998 Page 5 (Public Hearing: IP98-13/Fox Meadows/Streets, Continued) better prices with a larger project, it would be possible to add that street as an alternate bid. Mr. Zimmerman - noted some other streets south of CoRd 20 that were repaved the last several years. Who pays for that maintenance and who is responsible for the upkeep of the roads? His house is below the road, so he doesn't know how that will affect the City sewer and water. Will sewer and water be available in the near future? Mayor McKelvey explained the City maintains the roads after they have been accepted. The overlays are also paid for by the City now with a fund being generated with 1 percent of the taxes across the entire City. He doubted sewer and water would be available within the next 20 years. Mr. Erickson stated they will look if the crown will affect the abutting properties. Typically they don't adjust the road elevation but will maintain the existing elevations. David Woods. 15831 Dakota Street - asked who maintains the road and who pays for it when it has to be completely replaced. Mr. Erickson pointed out that the roads to the south were constructed with about an inch of asphalt with little subbase, and they were resurfaced under the City's new overlay program. These streets will have 2 Y:z inches of bituminous with 4 inches of subbase, so they should last 25 to 30 years. Mr. Zimmerman - asked ifthere is any State money available because Dakota Street runs between two county roads. Mayor McKelvey doubted it unless it was done as an MSA street. He didn't think the residents wanted that, as it would then become a collector street. A woman asked what the speed limit would be and about the use of speed bumps to reduce the speed. The current speed limit is 35 mph. Mayor McKelvey stated once speed bumps are put in a neighborhood, the residents come in asking that they be removed. He would recommend leaving the speed limit as is; as many of the speed studies done by the State in Andover have resulted in raising the speed limit. Councilmember Orttel also noted that the process of determining the speed limit by the State is to set it at what 85 percent of the people drive; however, he asked if the Ci¡y is able to install advisory warning signs and reduce the speed in those instances. Mr. Erickson stated that can be done for curves, poor site distances, etc. Councilmember Dehn suggested "Children at Play" signs be installed. Mr. Erickson stated that can be included as a part of the project. Winslow Holasek. 1159 Andover Boulevard - thought the gas line through that area is a major gas transmission line. He understands the gas company wants to replace that line with a larger line ITom Prairie Road across the entire City. Mr. Erickson stated the Staff will check on that. Motion by Kunza, Seconded by Dehn, to close the public hearing. Motion carried on a 4- Yes, 1- Absent (Knight) vote. 7:58 p.m. The Council discussed the issue of paving all of the streets that have been petitioned versus just Dakota Street. Because of the time and cost of maintaining one or two short gravel streets in a development, the preference was to pave the entire subdivision at one time. It was understood, -.- _.-- ~-~--- ~.- Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - July 7, 1998 Page 6 (Public Hearing: IP98-13/Fox Meadows/Streets, Continued) however, that Fox Street is not a part of this project and would have to come in as a separate project. The Council recommended the people along Fox Street be made aware of this project and of the probability of having their streets paved as a lower cost by combining with this project as opposed to paving on its own in the future. Mr. W oods - asked if he would be assessed twice for his ITontage on Dakota Street and his side yard on South Enchanted Drive. The Council indicated no, and that is why it would be so expensive to pave South Enchanted Drive by itself in the future. Mr. Erickson also noted that there will be no curbs on this project, which would require additional storm drainage work. This will be a rural ditch section with no curbing. Motion by Dehn, Seconded by Kunza, the Resolution as presented with two conditions: I) The gas line needs to be checked on to see what type of improvements they will have. If it means major construction in that area, perhaps we should think about delaying or work with the gas company so the streets won't be torn up. 2) Inform the people on Fox Street that the project is being done; and perhaps if they did both projects at the same time, it would be a lot cheaper for the City and residents as a whole.

CHESTERTON COMMONSIDRAINAGE Mr. Erickson explained the City had asked the Coon Creek Watershed District to re-evaluate the stormwater for the Hamilton Square/Chesterton Commons proposed drainage system. The Watershed has modeled these sites. Tim Kelly. Coon Creek Watershed - stated the Board approved the additional modeling for the entire subwater system. They received the report, reviewed it and approved it for forwarding to the Andover Council. -.- <--- .-. -..- .--- .._-. . Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - July 7, 1998 Page 7 (Coon Creek Watershed District Evaluation, Continued) Ed Matthiesen. En!!ineer for Mont!!omery Watson - reviewed the modeling, conclusions and recommendations as noted in the report before the Council. The Hamilton Square outlet was installed 0.8 feet higher than the approved grading plan. Though that outlet is higher than the low floor elevation of a house in Chesterton Commons, in his mind it is not a problem because of the distance and the infiltration. The Coon Creek Watershed Board has approved the Hamilton Square project with one of two conditions -- with a two-pond system that holds all water on site or develop for a one-pond system with an outlet through Chesterton Commons. Drainage from the Hamilton Square area through Chesterton Commons will increase the flow by I percent and will not require any additional storage area. His recommendation is that the berm on the Hamilton Square pond should be raised to 901.6 feet and raise the floors on four Chesterton Commons lots by 0.2 feet because of the differences found in the engineering firms' modeling. Mr. Erickson stated the engineering firm responsible for that berm was McCombs Frank Roos, and they have agreed to raise the berm around the entire pond to that elevation. He did not anticipate a problem with the vegetation or the berm giving way because the water raises very, very slowly. Jen:y Windschitl. Ashford Development - requested the documents used in Mr. Matthiesen's presentation this evening. He disagreed with the distance of the house in Chesterton Commons to this pond. It is not 150 feet away but within 70 feet of the pond. He also asked that a letter and attachments dated July 7, 1998, be entered into the record which formally objects to the deleting of the one pond in Hamilton Square that has been approved for that project. He also noted that not one engineering firm has signed on their letterhead as registered engineers of their approval or disapproval ofthìs project. He understands the Watershed report is a Staff report, not a Montgomery Watson report. What engineering firm will be responsible if there is a problem in the future? Mr. Windschitl also questioned the conclusions that the houses in Chesterton Commons are safe when they are closer to the pond that the Mork Clinic and the Post Office and at a lower elevation. It appears to him that by going ITom two ponds to one pond, the water level is being forced up on the one pond and onto the properties in Chesterton Commons which have been built on according to the approved plan. He stated their approval for Chesterton Commons pre-dated the Hamilton Square project. He felt what is being done will adversely affect those residents of the City. He suggested the Council has to ask what is safe for all the residents, not what is in the financial interest to the Hamiltons. Mr. Windschitl also stated they provided an outlet behind Chester's house for his undeveloped property with an emergency outlet that was to be in Chesterton Commons 2nd Addition. That subdivision was denied by the City Council, so that emergency outlet has not been constructed. That pipe would go straight north to Ditch 37 through a series of ponds in Chesterton Commons 2nd Addition. He also noted that the report comparing the findings of the three engineering firms are very, very similar. The numbers given to the City by his engineering firm have been proved to be very accurate. He noted that the existing construction of the berm around the Hamilton Square pond is vel)' narrow in some cases, plus there is some debris buried in it. He was also concerned with the huge quantity of water that will build up in the pond. ..- .~~ -~ ~.-- ... ,- -~. .. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - July 7, 1998 Page 8 (Coon Creek Watershed District Evaluation, Continued) Mr. Matthiesen - stated he has been the district engineer for 12 years, and this is the fIrst time he has been asked to sign his work. If the Council would be more comfortable, he would sign a letter on letterhead that he did the work and he stands behind it. He sent a copy of this report to the engineers of the other fIrms who did similar reports, and there is no disagreement among the engineers. He can tell his Watershed Board that there is no drainage problem. His conclusions are based on the City's regulations, which are more restrictive than that of the Watershed. Increasing the height of the berm will not affect the rate of infIltration. Mr Kelly - stated the district received the Hamilton Square project prior to that of Chesterton Commons, but they knew that development was in the works. Because of the timing, Hamilton Square was approved with two options, either two ponds or one pond with a outlet. Mr. Erickson stated the issue is the same now as it was before, whether to build the two ponds or to outlet the existing pond. Mr. Windschitl - believed the plat of Chesterton Commons was approved ahead of Hamilton Square, as the grading contractor went from his project to Hamilton Square. Mr. Kelly - thought Mr. Windschitl may have started grading at his own risk prior to approval. The modeling originally done by Montgomery Watson for Hamilton Square and the pond elevation was correct. The problem came about with the construction and that the pipe was installed too high. Winslow Holasek. 1159 Andover Boulevard - was concerned with the elevation of the berm around the pond, that of Crosstown Boulevard and the pond in Winslow Hills which is at an even lower elevation. He felt it is even more of a possibility that the water would infIltrate to the Winslow Hills pond before it will go north to Chesterton Commons. Gorden Jensen. Attorney for the Hamiltons - stated for over a year the attorneys and engineers have come up with solutions before this body and the Watershed, and each time Mr. Windschitl has come forward with another reason or allegation that there would be a problem. At what point does the City start taking the recommendations of the engineers? He wondered what disclosure Mr. Windschitl has given the people on those lots that he is expressing concern about the potential for flooding. Is he really concerned about the City of Andover or is there some other reason he has been opposed to the Hamilton project? He asked the Council to allow the discharge of the Hamilton pond to the north and eliminate the southern pond in their project. Mr. Windschitl - stated the flooding issue was raised by his engineer in a letter to the City. The ultimate result had been that it has been discovered the overflow pipe was set at the wrong level and that the berm will have to be raised. His point is the second pond shouldn't be eliminated, accusing the Hamiltons of wanting to make more money by not building another pond while his residents and others in the area have to suffer the consequences for it. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - July 7, 1998 Page 9 (Coon Creek Watershed District Evaluation, Continued) The Council discussed several aspects of the report, but generally expressed ftustration that the issue has not changed since it was first discussed about a year ago. And if, according to the engineers, the overflow ITom the Hamilton pond to the north will not affect the drainage to the north, what has been the argument all year? They noted they had asked for an independent study to resolve the question, and that this report does that. Mayor McKelvey asked for a motion to accept the report given to the City by the Watershed. Motion by Dehn, Seconded by Kunza, to so move. Motion carried on a 4- Yes, I-Absent (Knight) Vote. PRELIMINARY PLATILANGFELD'S OAKRIDGE ESTATESIWILLlS LANGFELD Mr. Carlberg the proposed preliminary plat of Langfeld's Oakridge Estates which consists of six single family rural residential lots. Variances are being requested to allow the existing driveways' accesses to remain onto CoRd 20, to minimum lot width and area requirements for Lots I and 4 of Block 1, and for the length of the cul-de-sac which exceeds the maximum requirement by 400 feet. The Andover Review Committee and Anoka County Highway Department are recommending delÚal of the variance for the driveway accesses, that the driveways access off Raven Street instead. Mr. Carlberg noted a letter from Ester Haas regarding a drainage issue. Since the public hearing, the engineers have made provision for a swale to allow that drainage to occur. The Park and Recreation Commission is recommending cash in lieu of land for park dedication. The cul-de-sac will meet the standards for permanent cul-de-sacs. Right of way is being taken as a part of this project for CoRd 20, though he wasn't aware of any plans by the county to widen the road in the near future. Ross AbeL Engineer for the proiect - explained they were just made aware of the problem raised by Ms. Haas. He will be reviewing it in the next couple days to resolve it with a swale along with other minor concerns at the Staff level. Councilmember Orttel didn't think the City's policy prohibited existing driveways onto county roads. These are existing driveways. Mr. Carlberg noted the City does not allow direct access onto county roads, and in other developments, those existing driveways were moved to access off the City street or, as in Woodland Estates, required to move at the time the property is sold. Ester Haas. 2909 161 st Avenue - noted her letter to the City. The drainage issue has been addressed tonight, but the residents felt like they were brushed off by the P & Z at the public hearing. She wondered if the swale will also take care of the snow problem, which takes a while to soak in. She's never had water in her basement, and she doesn't want it now. She asked for some written confirmation from the City of Andover that she will not have any kind of water problem for the next five years; and if she does, what recourse would she have? The Council asked Mr. Abel to meet with Ms. Haas about the drainage issue, and possibly a neighborhood meeting would be beneficial. ..- - -- ~-~.-..~ Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - July 7, 1998 Page 10 (Preliminary PlatlLangfeld's Oakridge EstateslWillis Langfeld, Continued) Ms. Haas - stated they planted a row of evergreens which are now very large that will be next to the proposed cul-de-sac. She wanted some written guarantee that they will not die. She also presented a petition ITom the neighborhood, which she read to the Council, expressing their concerns with the plat and the variances. They felt the Planning Commission was very incentive to their concerns raised about the variances. For safety reasons, they feel the variances should be denied. Kim Wolff. 16048 Ouinn Street - has been a resident of Andover for 26 years. She suggested that independent soil borings be done, as she felt there is more peat back there. The construction of Raven Street will affect her privacy and property values with the lights from cars shining on her back yard. She requested a tree berm be planted on her lot for privacy and noise reduction. The county's letter stated the traffic could exceed the noise standards, but she believes that is already exceeded. This would increase traffic along with the possibility of squealing tires because there will be inadequate turn lanes. Plus it will create a loss of property if turn lanes or easements are taken. She also noted a drainage problem to a resident when the roads were paved on Quinn and Swallow, even though they were told there would be no drainage problems. Is there going to be that same type of problem in this development? Ms. Wolff pointed out other concerns ofthe difficulty of fire trucks being able to turn around in cul-de-sacs when there are cars parked on the street, the danger for the children standing at the bus stop, and the fear that this development will speed up the need for bringing mulÚcìpal sewer and water to their area and the cost of the assessments that would result. Another concern is the increased risk of car accidents in that area, with no provisions being made for accident reduction. The Council noted that the development of2 Y,-acre lots probably reduces the chances of municipal utilities coming to the area because it is too costly to install them ip the rural areas. It was also pointed out that the county letter recommends warning those new residents coming to the development that the existing traffic noise may exceed the standards. ? - was concerned with the safety, as the new road will be within 100 feet of the accesses of Quinn and Swallow onto CoRd 20. It is dangerous to turn off the road, and it will only get worse. She also talked about her concern with the bus stop locations, plus the stop for a deaf child, and putting her children at jeopardy. ? . 15988 Ouinn Street - wondered about the January 2, 1998, letter ITom the county which raises several concerns. The City should not approve the new road location unless all of the site distances can be met, that this location is undesirable because it doesn't align with Quinn Street and that the private road access should be moved off of the county road. He also cited several other concerns on lot acreage, access lanes, driveway access so close to Raven, the effect of the driveway when plowing Raven, and drainage ITom the Haas property. Another resident was concerned about the type of septic systems, thinking mound systems will be needed because of the high water table. The new residents should be informed about those systems. The Council didn't think the site distance was the issue, but the county is concerned with the alignment; however, the developer does not own the property to access onto CoRd 59 as ... ~ .-. -.-- ~.-- Regular Andover Cily Council Meeting Minutes - July 7, 1998 Page 11 {Preliminary Plat/Langfeld's Oakridge Estates/Willis Langfeld, Continued} recommended by the county. The county will always recommend street intersections align. In plan does meet the distance and site requirements. The ordinance doesn't require the entire 2 Y>-acre lot to be buildable. Councilmember Orttel said he was just told that the county is planning to update CoRd 20 beginning on the east end this year. He didn't know when they will get to this portion of the road, but at that time everyone will be giving up right of way to widen it. He again questioned whether a variance is needed for the driveways because they are existing and have a right to access just like anyone else. It shouldn't matter, as there will be no more driveways onto the county road than there is now. Apparently in 1991 Mr. Langfeld was told to install the one driveway for the back building. The county plows CoRd 20, and the City does not cross the road with the snow plow. Mayor McKelvey stated Mr. Langfeld owns the property and has the right to develop it within the ordinance. The Council's major decision is that of the variances. Hopefully the county will upgrade CoRd 20 to alleviate the traffic safety concerns. The lots are designed according to the City's engineers so all houses are above the water table, and the septic systems are designed for each lot to fit the house. The City is trying to address the major concerns and solve them. There was some discussion with the residents as to where the municipal sewer and water is located now, the future plans, and the policy regarding its extension into developed rural areas. The Council noted it would be more likely that those utilities would be extended to that area if it is not developed. They also noted that the developer cannot be asked to do any work that is off site of the plat, such as the tree berm requested by one resident. Ms. Haas - understood Mr. Langfeld has a right to develop his property, but the neighbors are concerned with the safety and drainage issues, whether a fire hazard is being created for the rest of the community, and the comments made by the county, especially their recommendation not to access onto CoRd 20 but to Verdin. Councilmember Orttel stated the City would prefer access to Verdin as well, but the developer does not own that property. The Council discussed the proposed variance to require the driveway accesses of Lot I, Block I to be relocated to Raven Street. Councilmember Orttel again stated he did not feel one is needed, that they are existing driveways, that to move it would require it go right across the front of the house to meet the setbacks behind the stop sign and site line. Others suggested an agreement be made similar to the one made with Mr. Laptuda when Woodland Estates was developed that the driveways would be allowed to continue accessing the county road until the parcel is sold.

He attended the neighborhood meeting at which the State Highway Department representative stated the City is obligated to increase the rate; and if it doesn't, ¡57th will be a nonconforming state aid street and the speed limit will automatically go up to 55 mph. He personally does not want to see any more speed studies done in the City because the issue of safety is not considered as much as traffic movement. The neighbors along I 57th A venue would like to see a walkway along there to keep the children off the street. A concern of the residents is that people generally drive 10 mph over the speed limit, and now they will be going even faster. Councilmember Orttel stated studies indicate the people really drive at the safe speed for the road. He suggested warning signs and a reduced speed limit be posted by the curve. Ron Sandford. I 57th Avenue - stated his main concern is for the children that come down the street that is not wide enough. There isn't any place for them to walk and someone will get hurt. There's been no serious accident on that road in the last three years; but he thought increasing the speed limit may cause more. He thought more signs are needed to let people know there are bikers and pedestrians. The Council suggested signs be put up informing drivers of "Children at Play". Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Dehn, to approve the Resolution approving a 45-mph speed limit along I 57th Avenue between Crosstown Boulevard and UlÚversity Avenue. (Resolution RI43-98) Motion carried on a 4- Yes, I-Absent (Knight) vote. AMEND ANDOVER COMPREHENSIVE PLANIREZONINGISECTION 231ASHFORD DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, INC Mr. Carlberg noted the request to change the land use district designation from RU, Residential Urban Single Family, to C, Commercial, on approximately 5.45 acres which is currently a part of the Chesterton Commons preliminary plat. Ifthis is not approved, it can come back again at any time to be considered again. The rezoning, however, would have to wait a year if it is denied. Councilmember Oehn stated she could not in good conscience vote on this because the drainage issue has not been resolved. She favors commercial for the area but not until the drainage issue is resolved. Councilmember Orttel understood the Watershed Board has said they would redo the drainage calculations if the rezoning were to occur. That normally comes in during the platting phase. Mr. Carlberg stated the developer would either come back with a replat or come in with a commercial site plan. He thought it may be wise to do a revised plat to look at the drainage of the entire area, or possibly a PUD. CounciImember Orttel stated the last time the drainage was discussed, the determination was made to wait to see if this area would be proposed for commercial development because much of it was designated for ponding. Mr. Windschitl' s argument at that time ..- .~- --. -.- ~.-- "._-, - - __0-- _. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - July 7, 1998 Page 13 (Amend Andover Comp Plan/Rezoning/Section 23/Asliford Development, Continued) was that if the area was dedicated for drainage, he would never be able to use it for commercial because it would be needed for drainage ITom the Hamilton property. If it does develop commercial, he presumed it would eliminate the need for ponding because the drainage would be piped. He generally had no problem with commercial development in that area but felt the entire area should be done as one plat. Jerry Windschitl. Ashford Development - stated the plat of Chesterton Commons was stalled originally because the land use and the zoning did not match. That is the problem here, and that is why the request for the Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezoning is before the Council now. He is trying to do the the way it is required by ordinance. He does not have a problem replatting that area, and he understands the drainage issue has to be resolved and approved by both the City and the Watershed. There is no disagreement that everything down stream will have to be modified to accommodate the commercial area. Mr. Carlberg stated it is common that the Comprehensive Plan amendment, rezoning and platting come before the Council at one time. The Council had a concern with approving the amendment and rezoning without knowing what is being proposed and without some resolution to the drainage issue. It was also acknowledged that because of the time limit, the rezoning would have to be acted upon tonight unless the developer asked to have it tabled. If only the amendment is approved by the Council and the Metropolitan Council, then the City is basically forced to rezone the property to bring it into compliance. Also, a four-fifths vote is required on both items. Because of these issues, the Council asked Mr. Windschitl ifhe would be willìng to table the item to the next regular meeting. Mr. Windschitl - stated he would have no problem tabling the two items. Mr. Carlberg asked that that request also be made in writing. Motion by Dehn, Seconded by Kunza, to table Items 8 and 9 until the next meeting. Motion carried on a 4- Yes, I-Absent (Knight) vote. SPECIAL USE PERMIT/ANTENNAE/1786 BUNKER LAKE BOULEVARD NW/US WEST WIRELESS Mr. Carlberg reviewed the request of US West Wireless to construct a Wireless Communications facility 120 feet above ground at 1786 Bunker Lake Boulevard. The proposal is to lease a 20x20-foot area from Eddy's Auto Body, and they would be responsible for the security, landscaping and screening. The Andover Review Committee expressed a concern with the visual aesthetics of the tower at this location, which is adjacent to the new commercial park. Staff is wondering if US West would be willing to relocate the tower to the WDE site approximately one-half mile north. Councilmember Dehn felt the antennae as proposed could be very conducive to the area and had no problem with the request. This is very necessary in society today. ..- - ~- --. ---. ~-~- ..--.- - -. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - July 7, 1998 Page 14 (Special Use Permit/Antennae/1786 Bunker Lake Blvd/US West Wireless, Continued) A representative ITom US West stated the antennae would be located near the pine trees in the rear of the property, close to the fence of Kottke's Bus Company. The tower can accommodate two additional companies, which would change the visual impact. He could not predict what kind of antennae would be added, if any. Councilmember Dehn was comfortable with the antennae proposed but would be apprehensive about adding more or anything that would detract from the commercial park. The representative explained they are the last PC carrier to come into the market. Other companies already have sites in the metropolitan area and their systems are up and running. It may be unlikely that there will be another company that would need this site. They would be open to limiting the pole to only US West antennas. An engineer representing US West explained the distance the antennae will cover and other locations they have considered. This area is at the maximum position, and moving it one-half mile north would result in dropped calls for customers. This is the northern- most site in the metropolitan area that they are considering at this time. Mayor McKelvey understood there is consideration for selling Eddy's Auto Body for redevelopment of the area. The representative was not aware of that. The lease will run with the property. When asked about the possibility of using the pole as a light pole, he felt that could be accommodated and said they would be willing to work with the landowner to incorporate the pole into the existing or proposed development. Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Dehn, the Resolution as presented. (Resolution R144-98 approving the Special Use Permit) Motion carried on a 4- Yes, I-Absent (Knight) vote. AMEND ORDINANCE NO.8, SECTION 4.21/FENCES Mr. Carlberg explained the amendment to the ordinance would require a "good neighbor" policy when constructing a fence, requiring the finished side of a fence to be on the outside facing the abutting or adjoining properties. All posts or supporting structures would be on the inside of the fence. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial, feeling the few isolated cases involved is not a good reason to amend the ordinance. The Council wondered if some phrase should be added, such as "where practical unless waived by an adjoining neighbor". Others didn't feel it was necessary at all. Jeny Windschitl. Ashford Development - felt the amendment is most practical in a commercial area rather than in residential areas. The Council felt that suggestion had some merit and asked that the item be reviewed by the Zonìng Ordinance Task Force. Staff agreed to forward it to the Task Force for consideration. ..- -- .--_.- ~._- .._-,. - ---- Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - July 7, 1998 Page 15 SCHEDULE CITY TOUR Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Dehn, to schedule the City tour for one hour before the Council's first meeting in August; meet at the City Hall for the start of the trip.
