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. -.. . Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - May 4, 1999 Page 2 (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 --~ . - -.- ~. -.' . ,. ~, Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - May 4, 1999 Page 5 (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. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - May 4, 1999 Page 6 (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. , -- _. _ 4 .._ ~ Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - May 4. 1999 Page 7 (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. , .~ -. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - May 4, 1999 Page 8 (Special Meeting/May 11, Continued) 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. PAYJI.1ENTOF CLAIJI.1S Motion by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson, the payment of Claims.
