Councilmembers present: Don Jacobson, Julie Johnson, Mike Knight, Ken Orttel Councilmembers absent: None Also present: City Attorney, William G. Hawkins City Engineer, Scott Erickson Community Development Director, Dave Carlberg City Administrator, Richard Fursman Others RESIDENT FORUM Rose Marie "Sue" Julig, 3568 I 78th Lane NW, presented a petition for an ordinance change and an application for a private kennel license for the personal care of dogs on the property. She is planning to purchase this home with the condition that she be able to house more than 20 show bred miniature poodles at one time with no more than two liters per year. This is done solely as a hobby, not for commercial profit, nor will she be boarding other dogs. She also received signatures from all of the neighboring residents except one who could not discuss the matter due to a recent death in the family. She has been raising and showing dogs for over 20 years, is a member of several dog associations and shows her dogs all over the United States. Ms. Julig stated she intends to follow the requirements for sanitary and waste disposal. With the exception of two older dogs, all poodles have been debarked. The dogs will be exercised regularly in a fenced area and will never be outside of the fence running free. All dogs will be housed in a 25x22-foot insulated, heated and air conditioned kennel. The intent is to convert the attached garage for that purpose. Each dog has its own special indoor kennel plus an exercise enclosure. All dogs are house broken and some will have access to her home. She also read a promissory statement that she will take care of her dogs and comply with all provisions and that the City can make unannounced inspections at all times. Right now her dogs are in various locations around the country. Mr. Carlberg stated the property in question is zoned R-3 in which private kennels are not allowed by ordinance. The second issue is private kennels allow a maximum of six dogs, and this request is for 20. In a commercial kennel license, the City sets the maximum number of dogs, but it is used for boarding operations and other situations where a profit is being made. A commercial kennel license also goes through the Special Use Permit process. Council discussion was it had been previously discussed that possibly R-I uses should be allowed on R-3 parcels if the area requirements are met. If this area is rezoned, everything else would be nonconforming. The bigger " Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - August 3, 1999 Page 2 (Resident Forum, Continued) issue would be allowing 20 dogs in a private kennel while still maintaining the integrity of the ordinance. A suggestion was the possibility of allowing the R- I use of a commercial kennel license on this parcel since it meets the R- I area requirement. Possibly consideration should be given for allowing more than six dogs under a private kennel license because of the fact that they are debarked and will be indoors. It was then agreed to add the item to the Agenda for further discussion. Bob Boyum presented pictures of stumps that were buried on his mother's property when the gas pipeline was constructed in October, 1988. That pipeline is parallel to the railroad tracks on the west side. He provided a brief history ofthat project, noting his mother owns 3/4 mile ofIand along that stretch. At that time they noticed stumps were buried and the contractor was asked to stop. The contractor stopped, but apparently began again once his mother left the country. This year, as a result of the fires in May, it was discovered that there were quite a few stumps buried. The DNR and PCA became involved and Minnegaso agreed to remove all the buried stumps on his mother's property. However, his mother was asked to sign an agreement that she wouldn't go public with this or any economic repercussion felt by them would be her responsibility. He asked if it was illegal to bury stumps and trees in construction projects at that time. He questioned if stumps and trees are buried on other properties as well. Why wasn't the project inspected by the City Staff? With the proposal of another pipeline being constructed through Andover, he hoped there is a concern on the part of the City to look into this further and be sure these illegal construction practices are not done on that project as well. Now is the time to look into this before construction begins. He felt Andover should have been supporting his mother through this. Councilmember Orttel stated the Building Official has said contractors are allowed to bury stumps in designated areas, but not trees. Also, the City has very little to say regarding those projects as long as they are done to federal standards. He was concerned that the City is doing no inspectors on these projects. Mr. Erickson stated the City permits the smaller utility projects and does inspect when they cross right of ways or City streets. The policy now is that the City doesn't inspect those projects on private property. Councilmember Orttel suggested Staff look at what other cities are doing regarding the inspection of utility projects such as this. Tony Howard, 2 I 19 I 56th A venue, stated he talked with Staff about a dip in the road on I 55th Lane, Wittington Ridge. The dip holds dirt and water. His child was hurt while skateboarding on the road as a result of that dip. He understands the developer is responsible for correcting the problem, and he was wondering when that is going to be done. He didn't understand why it wasn't done when that same developer was blacktopping roads in other developments recently. Mr. Erickson stated that portion of street was located over poor soils. That area was replaced once, but it settled again. The City does have escrow on that project, which will be held until the street is permanently repaired. It has been discussed with the developer, who has agreed to correct the problem, but there is no time frame on it. It will be replaced this year. Jerry Windschitl stated the repair will be done this year. It has taken a number of years for the road to settle. They will be removing the surface and rebuilding that section with Class 5 and bituminous. -- - - -.-.-. ,- -- --- ---_.- - .- Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - August 3, 1999 Page 3 (Resident Forum. Continued) It is not easy to get a crew together, so he expected it will be done after the summer work is done. Mayor McKelvey also explained that the other street projects were City projects even though the developer was paying for it, and that is why those contractors could not repair this problem.

Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, the July 20 Minutes as presented. Motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING: VACATION OF EASEMENT/3336 SOUTH COON CREEK DRIVE/CARON Mr. Carlberg explained the request of Mike Caron to vacate the western five feet of the eastern 10- foot drainage and utility easement in order to build a third stall onto an existing garage. Staff is recommending approval. Mayor McKelvey opened the public hearing. 7:44 p.m. There was no public testimony. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, the Resolution as presented by Staff. (Resolution R167- 99 approving the variance) Motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING: AMEND ORDINANCE NO.8, SECTION 7.03, SPECIAL USES Mr. Carlberg noted the Council request to prepare an amendment deleting the provision in the Zoning Ordinance that allowed two-family homes in the R-4 and R-5 zones by Special Use Permit. Mayor McKelvey opened the public hearing. 7:46 p.m. Bill Hupp, developer of one of the projects considering town homes, asked what impact this will have on his development. His property is currently zoned R-l. Mr. Carlberg stated he discussed this with Mr. Hupp earlier. Mr. Hupp is proposing a PUD with three- to four-unit buildings. That would be done under a separate provision or a rezoning to allow that density. He didn't think this amendment would have an impact on that proposed development. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Johnson, to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. 7:49 p.m. Councilmember Orttel wondered if this proposal is sufficient since higher density developments are also allowed under a PUD. Attorney Hawkins explained the standards under a PUD provide more flexibility, plus specific criteria are needed to allow that density. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, the ordinance as presented. Motion carried unanimously. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes -August 3.1999 Page 5 2000 POLICE LlAISON/D.A.R.E. PROGRAM CONTRACT Mr. Fursman explained the request from the school district and Sheriffs Department is to renew the liaison officer contract for the 1999-2000 school year. Each year there has been an increase in the number of students, which means more state aid comes through the schools. The total cost of the program is $70,500 for 12 months, though for three months and when school is closed, the officer is on patrol in the City. This was originally funded by a grant, but those funds are no longer available. The school district is not contributing anything other than the state aid money. Council discussion was on what other cities are doing. Do other cities in the district pay the entire cost? What is done in other districts? It was felt that should be known before proceeding. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Johnson, to table this to the next meeting and have Staff ask the school district for some participation on their part. DISCUSSION: Councilmember Johnson suggested Staff find out if the school district has any "at risk" fund that could be used for the liaison officer. In the past the liaison officer spent a majority of his time at the Oak View Middle School but did make appearances at the elementary schools as well. The contract only talks about the middle school, and she wondered if appearances will continue to be made at the elementary level. She had also heard there is consideration of combining the liaison officer and the D.A.R.E officer. She didn't know if that would be effective since there are so many D.A.R.E. classes in the City. Councilmember Knight stated he wanted to see if other school districts are paying for this service. Motion carried unanimously. REVIEW RESULT OF WATER QUALITY SURVEYIIP99-15 The Council briefly reviewed the results of the water quality survey, noting there is almost an even split on what should be done. It was also pointed out that there does not appear to be pockets of problem areas, that those who are dissatisfied are evenly distributed over the entire City. Mr. Erickson stated the biggest issue is on the discoloration of the water. Brian Kraabel, Public Works Water, showed a map on which the responses were plotted. A treatment plant can resolve some of the problems. Many of the problems today with iron occurs when there is a heavy flow which stirs up the sediments of iron. The problem now is because of the construction and development where the flow of water needs to be redirected. Overall the water quality is good and meets state requirements, though wells 4, 5, 6 and 7 have a higher concentration of iron and manganese. The deeper aquifers also have a higher concentration of iron than the shallower ones, but the shallow ones have a higher concentration of manganese. A water treatment plant would remove those elements from the water. After discussing water quality further, the Council agreed the item merits further discussion as well as discussing the radon standards. It was agreed to discuss this in more detail at a work session this fall. Mr. Erickson stated the survey will also be put in the Andover Times for additional responses. ---- _. .....'. ., I Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - August 3, 1999 Page 6 APPROVE PLANSIIP98-29/GREY OAKS Mr. Erickson explained typically the plans are approved and the project is advertised for bids. Because of some outstanding items with the plat, he recommended the plans be approved but not order bids. He will bring the item back for ordering bids when those issues are resolved with the developer. It is getting late in the season, so he hoped to bring this back to the next Council meeting. Staff met with the developer today to start the Tax Increment Financing process, which will take about 60 days. The nF district must be established before building permits are pulled. The value assigned to the district will be without the road improvements, etc. Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, to approve the plans and not advertise for bids. (Resolution R168-99) Motion carried unanimously.

Motion carried unanimously. SCHEDULE DISCUSSION WITH METROPOLITAN COUNCIL Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, to accept the offer of the Metropolitan Council representative to meet with us at the next regular meeting. Motion carried unanimously. KENNEL LICENSE DISCUSSION The Council discussed the private dog kennel license and ordinance amendment requested by Ms. Julig during resident forum this evening for property at 3568 I 78th Lane NW. Council member Orttel stated he had no problem with allowing R-I uses in the R-3 area, but he was not sure of the request for 20 animals unless the ordinance is redrafted and/or unless consideration should be given to indoor operations of a certain size. If the ordinance is changed, there should be some way of controlling it. However, the number is not a problem if it is a commercial kennel license, and that may be the way to resolve this issue. There is more scrutiny in the application process of a commercial license. ~ -~ . -- ...,-. ,- - ~._-- " I .. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - August 3, 1999 Page 7 (Kennel License Discussion, Continued) Councilmember Jacobson stated if the parcel meets the R-I requirements, he would be agreeable to allowing R- I uses. That would still require an ordinance change. He has a problem with allowing 20 dogs on the property. The next person may come in with a request for 28 dogs. Where is the limit? Councilmember Johnson agreed. This proposal is very well planned, but the next one may not be or the dogs may not be debarked. It becomes a health issue. Mayor McKelvey liked the idea of a commercial license. Mr. Carlberg had a concern with it because the situation does not meet the definition of a commercial license. In discussing the number of dogs, Ms. J ulig stated she has a total of 20 dogs, which includes three puppies that will be kept for show. There will be other puppies. Councilmember Orttel felt the concern when the maximum number was placed for private kennel licenses was on the large dogs. One neighborhood may not be in favor of the request, but another, as in this case, may be. He'd like to accommodate the people to use their property without interfering with others, feeling there is room to allow this. Six of Ms. Julig's dogs and six pit bulls or Gennan Shepards are quite a difference in the neighborhood. Councilmember Jacobson had a problem with that many dogs, but he also wondered if the City sometimes over-reacts to single requests. An ordinance shouldn't be written by the size of the dogs. Councilmember Orttel argued that would be true if all the knowledge was available when the ordinance was written. But all possible scenarios cannot be conceived and adjustments are needed along the way. Councilmember Jacobson suggested the item be referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission without comment for their recommendation. However, if Ms. Julig wants to close on the house in several weeks and two ordinance changes are needed, this cannot be done in time. Ms. Julig stated they have set September 24 for a closing contingent upon her being able to get a license for her 20 dogs. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Johnson to send this to the Planning Commission with no recommendation from the Council. Motion carried unanimously. ACCEPT PETITION/IP99-28/NA VAJO STREET BETWEEN I 73RD A VENUE AND I 75TH A VENUE La V onna Newstrom, 17365 Navajo Street, presented three petitions to the Council and explained who was contacted. On I 75th, two people did not sign the petition. She stated (Councilmember) Michael Knight did not sign the petition but stated he would not oppose the project. His property would be deferred assessments for 15 years. Along 173rd, Padula said no, and Perry said no but would agree if all streets were done. They surveyed the people on the blacktopped portion of Navajo, and they really want I 73rd blacktopped because they use that as their ingress/egress. One -~.- . .,. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - August 3, 1999 Page 8 (Accept PetitionlIP99-28/Navajo between 173rd and 175th, Continued) person agreed to contribute toward the paving of I 73rd. She didn't know how it would work if those on the paved portion of Navajo would contribute to 173rd. She also asked if the Padula property, which is being farmed but is not in Green Acres, would be assessed. Councilmember Orttel read the policy regarding the deferment of assessments on agricultural property. Mayor McKelvey interpreted it to mean the property must meet the requirements of Green Acres but it doesn't have to be in it. There was some discussion on the background relating to the paving of streets in this area, the policy of assessing when parcels are subdivided, the process for street improvement projects and whether or not those on the paved portion of Navajo could be assessed for a portion of improving I 73rd. Attorney Hawkins stated the City must show market value increase from paving a street that is not in front of their house. There may be some benefit, but he felt it would be difficult to show. It is an appraisal question. Councilmember Orttel wondered if that area could be overlaid and brought in as a part of the project. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Johnson, that the City Council accept the petitions presented and authorize Staff to do a feasibility study, and as a part of this, ask Staff to do each road with independent prices and then the price of all three together: 173rd, I 75th and Navajo. (Resolution R170-99) DISCUSSION: Mr. Erickson stated they will do the feasibility study in-house identifying costs and parcels associated with the project. His goal would be to bring it back to the next regular meeting. Councilmember Jacobson stated the reason for the three price estimates is if those along one street have a majority in favor and the others do not. The Council suggested once the prices are known, the neighbors can be surveyed again to determine interest. It was also suggested the residents along the paved portion of Navajo be asked if they would be willing to participate financially in the project. A resident stated he would be in favor of having just Navajo done, though it would be irresponsible not to do the entire area. Another residents felt it would be interesting to know what it costs the City now to maintain those dirt roads. Motion carried unanimously. MAYOR/COUNCIL INPUT Passing on the shoulder - Councilmember Johnson stated she received a call regarding a problem with people passing on the right. It is a big issue, especially on Crosstown Boulevard north of Bunker Lake Boulevard. She wondered if"No Passing on Shoulder" signs could be installed there. Mr. Erickson recommended the residents be asked to call the County Highway Department or the Sheriffs Department. He will talk with them about this problem. Councilmember Orttel noted another area of concern is taking a left turn into Bill's Superette from the south-bound lane on Round Lake Boulevard. He understood the county has that scheduled for reconstruction next year, but in the mean time it is very difficult. Council representation on Snowmobile Task Force - Councilmember Johnson stated Council representation is needed on the Snowmobile Task Force, and she did not wish to participate because she is a member of the Andover Sno Dragons. Mayor McKelvey agreed to sit on that Task Force. -~ --~ .4·.·· -- --- - ----- Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - August 3, 1999 Page 9 (Mayor/Council Input, Continued) Temporary signal lights at Crooked Lake Boulevard and Bunker Lake Boulevard - Mr. Erickson stated the request has not yet gone to the county, but the underground conduit is being instalIed as a part of the contract. The City wiIl be asking for a warrants study at that intersection whenever it can. He also reported the City utility project at that portion of Bunker Lake Boulevard is completed Trails - CounciImember Orttel stated people have been talking about the trails and asking about a trail along the south side of Bunker Lake Boulevard, especially along the City's park. Also, there are no trails along Crosstown Boulevard between Bunker Lake Boulevard and the Coon Rapids border. There is a high concentration of people there and possibly that should be considered. Another area that should be considered for trail construction, probably from the City's funds, is along Crosstown Boulevard from Andover Boulevard north to Sunshine Park. Councilmember Johnson stated that area is also a concern because children ride their bikes to school from that area. Mr. Erickson stated he will forward these to the Park and Recreation Commission. Jay Street - Mayor McKelvey noted that once the Bunker Lake Boulevard project is completed, Anoka Auto Parts and Pov's wiIl both have temporary driveways out to Jay Street. It will be their only way out other than right-in, right-out accesses onto Bunker Lake Boulevard. He suggested to Mr. Erickson that a stub of Jay Street be constructed, since that is where the pennanent street wilI eventually be, and to ask the county to instalI a semaphore on that side. Now they are only putting in a three-way semaphore. APPROVAL OF CLAIMS Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, approval of claims. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Johnson, to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 9:28 p.m. ,~~~ MarcelIa A. Peach Recording Secretary ~ -~ - -- .4.... ,- -- _._~
