CITY of ANDOVER
REGULAR ANDOVER CITY COUNCIL MEETING - MA Y 4,1999
MINUTES
The Regular Bi-Monthly Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by Mayor Jack
McKelvey, May 4,1999,7:04 p.m., at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW,
Andover, Minnesota.
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
Mayor McKelvey read a statement commending the Fire Chief, Fire Deputies and fire fighters for
their efforts in putting out the fires in the City yesterday. The Andover Fire Department plus 20
other departments were involved in fighting the fires and did so without loosing anything more than
a small shed and some fence. He also commended the Sheriff's Department and the Andover's
Public Works Department for their efforts and cooperation.
Fire Chief Dan Winkel thanked the Mayor and Council. The fires are under control at this point,
though they are still on somc spots. In evaluating the situation today, they estimate 640 acres were
burned from 85th A venue on the border of Fridley and Coon Rapids up to about I 70th in Andover
all along the railroad tracks. There were 60 to 70 different units from 20 Departments and about 150
to 175 fire fighters, plus the DNR. They still have a skeleton crew on site were a peat bog is burning
on the north end of town. There were no serious injuries. They are still investigating the cause and
origin of the fires. There were about 18 points of origin which currently indicates a possibility of
something to do with the train. Ifthe fires were caused by the train, Burlington Northern will be
billed for the cost. He had aerial photos of the area showing the scope of the damages. They also
received a lot of support from the residents, which is very much appreciated. Councilmember
Johnson stated the Staff at the schools appreciated the way they were kept appraised of what was
going on so they could keep the parents infonned. Council member Knight stated he received two
calls from people who live in the area and were pleased with the work of the fire fighters. Their
efforts are very much appreciated.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, authorizing Staff to develop a large frameable certificate
or plaque commending the Andover Department as a whole which would be engraved suitable to
hang on their wall. Motion carried unanimously.

(Resident Forum, Continued)
Chief Winkel reported he has just received notice regarding the City's ISO insurance rating for the
City. As a result of the increased level of fire protection, the ISO level has dropped from a 6 to a 4
in the hydrant areas. For some residents, this could mean a reduction in their insurance rates.
Mr. Langfeld. 2207 161st NW - asked about the charges on his electric bill from Connexus Energy
regarding the lights. When he did the development behind his house, he didn't know he was going
to get assessed by Andover for the lights. He did pay for the utilities and the services by Connexus
Energy, and he didn't understand why he would have to pay again. The lots are sold. The one new
owner is building a house and has also received a bill. The Council speculated as to what the
charge may be for, noting it is the developer's responsibility to pay for the electricity for the lights
until the new property owner receives a certificate of occupancy. That bill will be higher the first
few years to pay for the light fixtures. It was questioned why the bill goes to the developer and not
to the property owner. Councilmember Jacobson stated he is on the Connexus Energy Board and
will check on this item this week and will contact Mr. Langfeld. Mr. Erickson stated Staff will also
look at the policy regarding the billing of the services to the developer as opposed to the property
owner.
Mr. Langfeld also reported a violation of people living in a motor home parked in a neighbor's yard.
There is also raw sewage spilled onto the ground. Mr. Carlberg stated he will investigate the issue.
Dan Cook. 1297 142nd Avenue - stated he was informed by Staff that the shed he placed on his yard
violated the ordinances. Because of the size and shape of his lot, he is not able to meet the setback
requirements. He would like a shed in which to keep the toxic chemicals used in the pool to keep
them away from the children. He asked the Council's opinion regarding a variance. Mr. Carlberg
explained it is a corner lot on which structures cannot be placed within the setbacks. There is also
a large pool in the back yard which cannot be moved. Mr. Cook would like to go through the
variance process; however, Staff has advised that the City has not granted variances in such
instances. It is a unifonnity issue. Mayor McKelvey stated he viewed the lot and did not feel the
shed would block the view. Councilmember Jacobson indicated he could not guarantee the variance
would be approved and that Mr. Cook would have to pay the fee and take his chances ifhe would
like a variance. The Council generally suggested he talk with Mr. Carlberg regarding the
requirements with regard to granting a variance. It was also suggested that it may be helpful to
receive approval from the neighbors.

DISCUSS GREY OAKS FINANCING CONTINUED
Mr. Fursman cxplained before the Council is the question of a Tax Increment Financing proposal
for three senior apartment units in the Grey Oaks development to subsidize the rents in those units
by about $ I 25 each depending on the qualifications of the individual renters. Mr. Carlberg explained
20 percent of the units will have no subsidy whatsoever. Of the remaining 80 percent, 20 percent
must be lct to those of poverty level. The City would not be able to specifY that the units be for
Andover residents only.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, that the Council authorize a TIF district for Grey Oaks
for the one 30-unit apartment complcx only. DISCUSSION: Council member Jacobson explained
the reason he proposed only one unit is based on the demographic report done for the City for
Andover Station. That reports indicates only 0.82 perccnt of the people within a 10-mile radius are
age 65 and over and below the poverty level. He also assumed the Andover residents will havc
capital from selling their current homes to move to this complex. Using those statistics he felt the
approximately 160 units proposed for the TIF district are too many. Also, this is already designated
a senior complex. The use ofTIF is only to help those who can't afford it. While Councilmember
Orttel had not studied the statistics, he calculated just 24 units would qualify for subsidized rent in
the City, which doesn't even comc close to meeting the need. When other units have opened, they
--~ . - -.- ~. -.' . ,. ~,

Minutes - May 4, 1999

(Discuss Grey Oaks Financing, Continued)
are filled immediately. He'd like the City to do more. Mayor McKelvey stated he knew of many
people who would move back to Andover if given this opportunity.
The Counci I debated the matter further. In discussing the procedure to be accepted for one of the
apartments, it was thought that applicants are placed on a list on a first-come, first-serve basis. Then
each application is reviewed to detennine if it qualifies; however, to receive Anoka County aid, one
must live in Anoka County. It was indicated that people were applying for the Farmstead
development as soon as the project was proposed.
A resident stated we are an aging society, and the decision should be made on the growth and
potential growth of the population. If there are people already on a waiting list, why wouldn't the
Council approve the apartments for them? Councilmember Orttel agreed, stating the Ham Lake
senior center was filled before it was completed and there are almost enough names on the list for
another building. When Presbyterian Homes did their market study, they found a higher need for
senior housing in Andover than any community in the Twin Cities area. The need exists.
Councilmember Jacobson argued all of Grey Oaks is for senior housing. This only buys down some
of the rents. After further discussion, Council member Knight called the question.
Motion dies on a I-Yes (Jacobson), 4-No vote.
Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Johnson, that the Council approve the concept of the TIF pay-as-you-
go, no up-front cost method for rent reduction on three senior buildings in Grey Oaks as presented
by the developer's proposal and starting that process. DISCUSSION: Mr. Fursman explained the
developer would work with the City's bond counsel, Briggs and Morgan, and that documentation
would be brought through the public hearings. There will be no bonding in this project.
Council member Orttel added to the motion, conceptual approval for 25-year TIF with City's
approval for the actual pay--as-you-go to be for 15 years. Second Stands. DISCUSSION: The
Council asked that under the subsidized portion of the project, there be guarantees in place that the
balance of the project remain senior housing as already approved by the Council. Motion carried
unanimously. Councilmember Jacobson stated that while he feels the number of units should be
less, he is a finn believer in democracy and will go along with the majority.
APPROVE PRELIMINARY PLAT/ANDOVER STATION
Mr. Carlberg reviewed the preliminary plat of Andover Station consisting of six commercial lots on
about 90 acres. As a part of the purchase and options agreements, the City has agreed to plat the
property before closing on the purchases. The closings are scheduled the end of June. A variar,ce
is being requested to allow the lots to front on the MSA streets of Jay and Commercial Blvd.
Another variance being requested is to allow the application for a Special Use Pennit for the area
identification signs to be made at a later date until further along in the development process.

Minutes - May 4, 1999

(Approve Preliminary Plat/Andover Station, Continued)
Mr. Carlberg stated the veterinary hospital had planned an 18-month project; however, they are now
looking at fall construction. The proposed restaurants and office warehouses may also be under
construction by the end of this year. The debris being piled on site will be used for the sliding hill
on the north side of Bunker Lake Boulevard. The Council will be presented with a master
conceptual plan for the development of the north commercial park.
Councilmember Jacobson asked about the park dedication. He wants to be sure the City treats itself
the same as anyone else. Councilmember Orttel noted the land for Andover Station had a negative
value before the City improved it to the point of being usable. In addition, trails and ponds will be
added, plus the sliding hill and ball fields in the area to the north. He felt the City will be dedicating
in excess ofthe park dedication requirements. Mayor McKelvey agreed and understood the Park and
Recreation Commission does too.
Motion by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson, the Resolution as presented. (Resolution RI08-99
approving the preliminary plat of Andover Station). Motion carried unanimously.
A WARD BID/IP98-17/BUNKER LAKE BOULEVARD RECONSTRUCTION
Mr. Erickson stated the Council is requested to approve the City's portion of the bid for the Bunker
Lake Boulevard reconstruction project. He noted the sewer trunk to be replaced in the vicinity of
Coon Creek will be outside of the current easement. Councilmember Orttel noted the county is
going through the condemnation procedure for easement across his property. He didn't have a
problem with granting a quick taking if it is legal to do so, which will allow the contractor to work
in that area sooner. Attorney Hawkins stated there is no conflict of interest for Council member
Orttel to grant access rights.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, move on Item 3 as presented with the understanding that
the question discussed earlier in the EDA meeting about the cost of median pavers that could reduce
the amount. (Resolution R109-99) Motion carried on a 4- Yes, I -Present (Orttel) vote.
SET CITY COUNCIVPARK AND RECREA TION COMMISSION WORKSHOP/IP99-20/COON
CREEK CORRIDOR TRAIL EXTENSION (BETWEEN HANSON BOULE V ARD AND
CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD
Mr. Erickson stated the proposal has been to invite the public to an informal round-table discussion
regarding the Coon Creek Corridor trail extension between Hanson Boulevard and Crosstown
Boulevard. Staff walked the route on the north side and will be meeting with the watershed about
options for a trail along the south side of the creek. Council member Knight stated he would like to
have a conccntrated effort made to find a way to put the trail on the south side of the creek.

(Council/Park Board Worshop/1P99-20/Coon Creek Trail Extension, Continued)
Councilmember Orttel felt that before this meeting, it would be important to know for sure whether
or not a trail could be constructed on the south side of the creek. Council then agreed to table this
to the next meeting to allow Staff more time to explore options for the trail location.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to table this to the next meeting. Motion carried
unanimously.
ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 255ÆSTABLISHMENT OF A BOUNDARY COMMISSION
The Council asked if there is any legal reason to have a Boundary Commission. It was originally
set up to deal with one specific neighborhood and has not met since. Attorney Hawkins doubted
such a commission would be used again. He felt the ordinance could be repealed; and if the
commission is needed in the future, a new ordinance could be approved at that time.
Motion by Knight, Seconded by Johnson, to repeal Ordinance No. 93. Motion canied unanimously.
ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 2581REGULA TING LA WFUL GAMBLING
The Council discussed the criteria under Section 2 for an organization to receive a lawful gambling
license. It was agreed that all of the requirements should be met, not just one as proposed, and that
the criteria requiring the organization to own real property within the City of Andover be deleted.
The following changes were proposed:
Section 2, first paragraph, last line, change to "...unless the organization meets the following
conditions:" After paragraph I), delete the word "or". After paragraph 2), delete the word
"or". Delete paragraph 3) in its entirety. Renumber paragraph 4) to paragraph 3). Last
sentence of the Section, change to "Any organization which meets the conditions set forth
above,... "
Motion by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson, the ordinance as amended (an ordinance regulating lawful
gambling within the City of Andover). Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Present (McKelvey as he is
involved in gambling) vote.
SPECIAL MEETING AT FIRE STATION #1 ON MA Y 11 FROM 7 TO 9 P.M.
The Council discussed the potential conflict of this date with that of the opening celebration of the
Andover Theater. Mr. Carlberg noted the ribbon cutting ceremony is at 4:30 p.m. Attorney Hawkins
advised that any tickets, beverages, etc., would have to be paid for at market value.

The Council suggested a proclamation be made welcoming the theater to the community. They
agreed to hold the special meeting as planned.
MAYOR/COUNCIL INPUT
Town meeting - Council member Jacobson suggested there be no special agenda or presentation by
Staff. The residents should simply be allowed to tell the Council what they think. Council member
Orttel also felt it is more effective if the Council just moves around the room to talk with people
individually or in small groups. Councilmembcr Knight suggested tables be set up around the room
for an informal setting.
