Developer is currently discussing acquiring property with two property owners (shown as Orange and Red below). a S .• j ta` 1 ! . j Combined the properties appear to be 119.33 acres is size. The Property would be a rural development and include shoreland requirements, as the Shoreland Ordinance has classified Ward Lake as a Recreation Development Lake according the Shoreland Ordinance. An issue that arises as we review the property related to two access points and the maximum length of a cul de sac is access. The City of Andover City Code allows for a 500-foot permanent cul de sac. The property appears to be "land -locked" due to floodplain, wetlands and a development to the south. Construction of secondary access points appear to have large impacts to wetlands, and floodplain in the area. ACTION REQUESTED The City Council is requested to discuss access and provide informal feedback to the developer. sp ctfu s bm' d, Jo Janish Community Development Director CC: - Craig Wensmann, Bogart Peterson and Associates (Email Only) - Scott Wold, Wold Construction (Email Only) -9C I T Y O F NDOVE 1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD N.W. • ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304 • (763) 755-5100 FAX (763) 755-8923 • WWW.ANDOVERMN.GOV TO: CC: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: Mayor and Councilmembers Sarah Cotton, City Administrator Aidan Breen, Associate City Planner Discuss Interim Performance in Hughs/Westview Industrial Park — Planning February 25, 2025 DISCUSSION Under City Code 12-14-18, properties in the Hughs Industrial Park that expand their uses are required to apply for an Interim Use Permit (IUP) to establish Interim Performance Standards. According to Andover City Code, the purpose of the Interim Performance Standards is as follows: 12-14-18: INTERIM PERFORMANCE STANDARDS: A. Purpose: Interim performance standards are intended to establish an alternative level of site improvements for properties located in the rural industrial area generally referred to as the Hughs/Westview industrial park area. The City acknowledges that the lack of municipal utilities limits the development potential of these properties. These performance standards are intended to allow continued use, expansion and redevelopment with a level of site improvements that is commensurate with the development potential of the properties. This section of code is triggered by properties in the Hughs/Westview Industrial Park who seek to expand their uses via a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) or Commercial Site Plan (CSP), which is typically submitted when a property is redeveloped. The Interim Performance Standards described in City Code 12-14-18 direct City Council to approve or deny an IUP application based on the following factors: 2. Council Determination: The City Council shall approve or deny the application based on the factors established in this section. The City Council may attach such conditions as they determine necessary to provide the appropriate level of site and building improvements to accomplish the purpose of this section. The level of required improvements shall be determined on a case -by -case basis. Applications shall be reviewed based on the following factors: a. Existing appearance of the building and site; b. Compatibility of the proposed site development plan with the other industrial properties in the area; c. Effect of the proposed use and the proposed site development plan on the adjacent residential neighborhood, including traffic, noise, glare, buffers, and environmental impacts; Since the Interim Performance Standards established in City Code 12-14-18 are intended to give property owners some flexibility in how they develop their properties, some deviations from established performance standards are allowed: D. Deviations to the performance standards will be considered in the following areas: 1. Parking and Impervious Surface Areas: a. Screening, landscaping, visual appeal, and lighting of parking lot areas. b. Paving of parking areas for customers. c. Dust control measures for unpaved parking and storage areas. 2. The amount, type, location, and screening of exterior storage requested as a part of any Interim Use Permit (Amended 5/19/20, Ord. 505). 3. Screening of mechanical equipment and trash bins/dumpsters. 4. Other factors related to the new development proposal, as the City Council may deem relevant. As the language in the City Code indicates that performance standards are analyzed on a case -by -case basis, staff are requesting guidance as to what property improvements would be required by the City Council under the Interim Performance Standards in Andover City Code 12-14-18. This discussion was prompted by an application that has been submitted for a Conditional Use Permit for the property at 3118 162nd LN NW. This application requests a CUP for semi -truck and trailer repair, heavy equipment repair, seasonal semi -truck storage, and an auto/truck/equipment dealer. The applicant, EE Services, has provided a rough site plan (attached) showing how they intend to utilize the site for these new uses. They do not propose to construct any new structures. Staff will be present to discuss more details about the specific application if needed. ACTION REQUESTED The City Council is requested to provide guidance on what property improvements are desired to meet Interim Performance Standards under City Code 12-14-18 in the Hughs/Westview Industrial Park.

My intentions with purchasing this property is to turn it into a modern day semi -truck, trailer and heavy equipment repair shop with a parking lot. The lot would store everyday used and current registered dump trucks and 4-8 semi truck and trailers along with spots for current customers equipment needing to be repaired. Future plans would include buying and selling used trucks and equipment to repair. Plans for the property are as follows: The road front of the property, I would like to repaint each building to be matching in color. The pot holes in the parking lot to be repaired by filling each hole, resealing the asphalt then paint parking stripes throughout. Install an electric gate to the back parking lot coming from the asphalt lot and road. I plan to remove all the dense foliage and trim the trees in the northeast corner of the property then till grass along the property road front, plant new grass and install an irrigation system.

(763) 755-5100 FAX (763) 755-8923 • WWW.ANDOVERMN.GOV TO: Mayor and Councilmembers CC: Sarah Cotton, City Administrator ( p FROM: Joe Janish, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) Planned Unit Development (PUD) Discussion - Planning DATE: February 25, 2025 DISCUSSION Recently the City Council has reviewed several Planned Unit Development (PUD) requests and has commented to developers to stick to standards within Andover City Code. Staff wanted to provide a brief update on the use of PUD's within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The City of Andover's current Comprehensive Plan was developed using Thrive 2040 regional plans and policies. City Council at that time also wanted to have certain Future Land Use Districts to go through the PUD process, so developers are required to go through a PUD. By sticking to the "standards" an applicant is not able to achieve the higher density allowed within the Future Land Use District. An example of this is the Urban Residential Medium -Low Density (URML). The language within the Comprehensive Plan (Andover Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 2 Land Use Plan, Page 2-10) is below: Urban Residential Medium -Low Density (URML) distnct provides areas suitable for a variety of attached and detached dwelling units. The URML district helps to address the need for Ide cycle housing with increased density and smaller lot sues. This district. with appropriate transitions, can serve as a buffer between lower density residential and commercial districts and may also be appropriat 1transportation corridors such as collector and arterial streets. hese neighborhoods are created as part of a Planned Unit Development hat ensures efficient istrriDutionn of density and to achieve appropnWPM ansi ions Deiween uses of different intensity and transportation corridors These transitions are achieved with a combination of landscaping, berms, physical separation and preservation of natural features. Minimum Lot Size Variable PUD Density 4 to 8 units per acre CityUtilities Required Corresponding Zoning Districts R-4 Single Family Urban Residential. (new district) Multiple Dwelling Medium -Low Density Type of Development i Single -Family Detached, Two-FamilyResidences. Townhomes and Condominiums with private entrances - I 'Areas within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area r are cakulated using not ensity. areas outside of the MUSH are calculated using gross density. In an Urban Residential Medium -Low Density (URML), applying the standard R-4 requirements of an 11,400 square foot sized, 80 feet wide, 130 feet deep lot; developments are yielding around 2.4 units per acre. Staff will admit that a recent proposal is meeting a density of 4.16 units per acre while providing larger lots as they are required to provide a conservation easement over 50% of the development due to the property being located within the Shoreland District. However, without the 50% conservation easement requirement, the development would have had a density of around 2.08. Therefore staying with the R-4 standards are yielding only around 2.4 units per acre for density. Language within the Comprehensive Plan states "These Neighborhoods are created as part of a Planned Unit Development (PUD)" for the following Future Land Use Districts: -Urban Residential Medium -Low Density (URML) 4 to 8 units per acre. -Urban Residential Medium Density (URM) 8 to 12 units per acre. -Urban Residential High -Low Density (URHL) 12 to 20 units per acre. -Urban Residential High Denisty (URH) 20 to 25 units per acre. Each of these Future Land Use Districts list the type of development (housing styles) the City of Andover is looking for as well. Included below are several sections of the PUD ordinance for the Council to review, along with guiding questions or comments in italics. These questions by no means are menat to limit the conversation but to start the conversation related to the use of PUD's in the MUSA. CITY CODE 13-3-1: PURPOSE: The purpose of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) is to encourage more efficient allocation of density and intensity of land use where such arrangement is desirable and feasible by providing the means for greater creativity and flexibility in environmental design than provided under the strict application of this code. It must be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the City Council that a higher quality development will result than could be otherwise achieved thorough strict application of this code. (Ord. 298, 8-4-2004) 13-3-6: ZONING AND SUBDIVISION STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS: All standards and provisions relating to an original zoning district shall apply, unless otherwise approved as part of the PUD. All standards may be modified or waived provided the applicant demonstrates harmony with the purpose of the PUD and the findings described in Section 13-3-9 of this chapter. (Ord. 298, 8-4-2004) If the PUD does not change the underlining zoning then the standards still apply. For example in the R-4 Single Family -Rural zoning district, the following are lot standards: • Lot size of 11,400 square feet • Lots 80 feet wide at the front yard setback line • Lot depth of 130 feet • Density of 2.4 or more, units per acre 13-3-9: FINDINGS REQUIRED: In order for a PUD to be approved, the City shall find that the following are present: A. The proposed development is not in conflict with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan of the city. B. The proposed development is designed in such a manner as to form a desirable and unified environment within its own boundaries. C. The proposed development demonstrates how each modified or waived requirement contributes to achieving the purpose of a PUD. D. The PUD is of composition, and arrangement that its construction, marketing, and operation are feasible as a complete unit without dependence upon any subsequent unit. (Ord. 298, 8-4-2004) 13-3-11: DESIRABLE PUD DESIGN QUALITIES: The following design qualities will be sought in any PUD: A. Achieves efficiency in the provision of streets and utilities and preserves area to achieve the elements of design qualities described in this chapter. • Minimizing soil disturbances for the construction of roadways? • Minimizing impacts to wetlands? • Openness to modifying design standards, such as street width, setbacks, lot dimensions, lot sizes? B. Provides convenient and safe access for vehicles and pedestrians and all types of activity that are anticipated to be a part of the proposed development. • Review of access into and out of the development? • Review of multimodal traffic within the development? • Review of multimodal traffic to connect to existing amenities? C. Provides a buffer between different uses, adjacent properties, roadways, between backyards of back-to-back lots. • Tree stand preservation? • Landscaping plans? • Restrictive Easements? • Home Owners Association (HOA)? D. Preserves existing stands of trees and/or significant trees. • Tree stand preservation? • Moving roadways to avoid trees or significant trees? E. Provides considerable landscaping treatments that complement the overall design and contribute toward an overall landscaping theme. • Additional trees for each lot? • Monument entrances? • Raingardens? F. Preserves significant usable space on individual lots or through the provision of open space within the development. • If a developer provided open space either as HOA owned or provided additional parkland or preserve to the City? G. Provides an attractive streetscape through the use of undulating topography, landscaping, decorative street lighting, decorative mailbox groupings, retaining walls, boulders, fencing, area identification signs, etc. • If "Undulating topography" creates lots that are less than 2.5 acres is that acceptable? • If minimizing the impact of construction creates smaller lots is that acceptable? H. The proposed structures within the development demonstrate quality architectural design and the use of high quality building materials for unique design and detailing. • Past practice has been to ask for housing plans to show what they are thinking or at a minimum include building material lists and descriptions (limitations on building materials, color restrictions, and home style restrictions such as ramblers vs. two story)? I. The lasting quality of the development will be ensured by design, maintenance and use guidelines established through an owners' association. (Ord. 298, 8-4-2004). • If the HOA restricts uses that the City Code allows is that acceptable? • Restrictions could limit home occupations, not allow for accessory structures, accessory structures size, restrict parking in driveways, require certain types ofplantings in front yard, not allow for ATV type vehicles, etc. ? 13-3-12: APPROVAL OF PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT: The developer must demonstrate that the amenities and qualities of the Planned Unit Development are beneficial and in the public interest to allow the development to be approved. A substantial amount of the design qualities identified in Section 13-3-11 of this chapter shall be found to be present in order to approve a PUD. The amount of amenities and type of qualities that constitute an acceptable PUD are at the sole discretion of the City Council to determine. (Ord. 298, 8-4-2004) ACTION REQUESTED The City Council is requested to review the information provided and discuss the use of PUD's in the MUSA.

AN DOVE 2018 Comprehensive Plan Update 2 - 10 Urban Residential Low Density (URL) district is established to create cohesive neighborhoods of single-family detached housing within the MUSA and with access to municipal sewer and water. Residential lots within this district are sized to allow efficient utilization of municipal infrastructure as well as to provide an area large enough to accommodate housing market demands. These neighborhoods must be protected from higher intensity uses with appropriate transitions. These transitions include natural features such as trees, wetlands, streams or major changes in topography. Man-made elements such as streets, parks or earth berms in combination with landscaping are also appropriate. When adjacent to arterial roadways, additional setback distance, landscaping and berms are required. Facilities that generate noise, traffic, and/or glare also require major separation from these neighborhoods. Minimum Lot Size Variable Density 2.4 to 4 units per acre PUD Density 4 units per acre City Utilities Required Corresponding Zoning Districts R-4 Single Family Urban Residential Type of Development Single -Family Detached Housing *Areas within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) are calculated using net density, areas outside of the MUSA are calculated using gross density. Urban Residential Medium -Low Density (URML) district provides areas suitable for a variety of attached and detached dwelling units. The URML district helps to address the need for life cycle housing with increased density and smaller lot sizes. This district, with appropriate transitions, can serve as a buffer between lower density residential and commercial districts and may also be appropriate along higher volume transportation corridors, such as collector and arterial streets. These neighborhoods are created as part of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) that ensures efficient distribution of density and to achieve appropriate transitions between uses of different intensity and transportation corridors.

ANDOVE 2018 Comprehensive Plan Update 2 - 11 Planned Development Areas These planned development areas would incorporate a mix of residential development at Urban Residential Low (URL) densities and Urban Residential Medium -Low (URML) densities. These areas will be subject to future platting and development review by the City, ensuring consistency with the comprehensive plan. The planned development areas are identified on the Future Land Use plan with a letter and an outline around the development area. The following indicates the required acreage breakdown of URML within each of the planned development areas, the balance of the area would be developed as URL. The City will not require a comprehensive plan amendment for residential development proposals that meet these expected breakdowns or overall density, if the proposed development meets the following: Area A: Located North of Andover Blvd. and West of the Railroad tracks. • 7.5 acres at URML density (4 to 8 units per acre) Area B: Located West of Prairie Road and North of Andover Boulevard • 11 acres at URML density (4 to 8 units per acre) Area C: Located West of Crooked Lake Boulevard and North of Bunker Lake Boulevard • 3.5 acres at URML density (4 to 8 units per acre) Area D: Located West of Crooked Lake Boulevard and South of Bunker Lake Boulevard • 7 acres at URML density (4 to 8 units per acre) Area E: Located South of Andover Boulevard and West of Prairie Road • 5 acres at URML density (4 to 8 units per acre) Urban Residential -Medium Density (URM) district provides areas suitable for a variety of attached and detached dwelling units.

Berkowitz, Director of Public Works/City Engineer SUBJECT: Discuss Possible Matching Funding Source for MNDNR Grants for Dalske Woodlands Boardwalk and Kelsey Round Lake Park Trail Reconstruction/25-6 — Engineering DATE: February 25, 2025 INTRODUCTION The City Council is requested to discuss possible matching funding source(s) for MNDNR Grants for Dalske Woodlands Boardwalk and Kelsey Round Lake Park Trail Reconstruction, Project 25-6. DISCUSSION The improvements would consist of a new boardwalk and gravel trail leading up to the boardwalk in Dalske Woodlands and for reconstructing the existing trails at Kelsey Round Lake Park. The boardwalk would allow full access to the preserve. The trails in Kelsey are deteriorating, so reconstruction is an important project that should be completed within the next few years. Possible matching funds to meet the grant requirements for the Dalske Woodlands boardwalk could come from the Capital Equipment Reserve Capital Projects Fund which has $64,426 designated for open space from the closing of the GO Open Space Referendum Bonds Debt Service Fund. Kelsy Round Lake Park trail matching funds could be from the General Fund which has excess fund balance from prior year's expenditure savings and increased revenues. For the proposed boardwalk and gravel trail, the Federal Recreational Trail Program grant will fund 75% of the project up to a maximum of $250,000. The Outdoor Recreation Grant Program will fund 50% of the project up to a maximum of $350,000. The anticipated total project cost is $210,000. The boardwalk is eligible for both grants and after speaking with the MNDNR grant representative they had advised staff to apply for both grants as if the City would not be selected for one, it may be selected for the other. For the proposed trail reconstruction in Kelsey Round Lake Park, the Outdoor Recreation Grant Program will fund 50% of the project up to a maximum of $350,000. The anticipated total project cost of the trail reconstruction is $600,000. ACTION REQUIRED The City Council is requested to discuss possible matching funding source(s) for MNDNR Grants for Dalske Woodlands Boardwalk and Kelsey Round Lake Park Trail Reconstruction, Project 25-6.
