Councilmembers present: Councilmember absent: Also present: Don Jacobson, Ken Orttel, Julie Trude Mike Knight City Attorney, William Hawkins City Administrator, Jim Dickinson Community Development Director, Will Neumeister City Engineer, Dave Berkowit;z Others .) / PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE RESIDENT FORUM Mr. Larrv Emmerich - Owner of White Pine Wilderness. Mr. Emmerich indicated he wants to review whether they could look at Block 3, Lot 17 of Phase I. They have a lot that was deemed unbuildable on the preliminary plat. He stated they will be going to fmal plat in October and prior to that they have had a change of heart given a number of factors. He wants to review whether they could make it a buildable lot. Councilmember Trude asked if this is the lot on the west side of the development. Mr. Emmerich stated as it sits right now it would have electric and utilities, limited road access but other than that everything else is up to code, except the access issue. It would have eighteen feet at the beginning of the access and narrows down to about twelve but is within the safety limits of the emergency vehicles and is within thirty-five to forty feet of the cul-de-sac. Councilmember Trude thought this had been approved. Councilmember Orttel thought so too. Mr. Berkowitz stated the direction they took from this was that it was an improved lot but no building permit would be allowed until there was proper front footage or roadway built. It is a platted lot and what the builder is requesting is that he be allowed a building permit on that lot. \ , , '- -./ Councilmember Trude thought they talked through this and that Mr. Emmerich thought it would be a phased development so it would not be an issue but now he would like to include that lot as part of Phase One. Mr. Emmerich stated that this is correct. He stated the two driving forces are that there have been a nurnber of increased costs with County and City services and he also has a buyer for the -) / Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 19, 2006 Page 2 lot. Councilmember Trude asked if they authorized construction on that lot with the driveway access, how would they make sure the City gets the road built. Mr. Emmerich stated this does not change anything with the future extension of the road. When the road does extend, the temporary cul-de-sac would be removed and they would take away the bulb and would not change anything. Councilmember Trude stated she would look at that as an acceptable situation on the final plat. Councilmember Jacobson indicated it would be a variance and a variance would need to be based upon a hardship and the hardship could not be monetary. He did not see that there is any demonstrated hardship. He indicated this was previously discussed and that they already agreed on what to do. He did not know why they would change it just because they have a buyer for the lot. Councilmember Trude stated ifhe did have a full street there, he would have dead ended a cul-de-sac but they are making him wait for the next property owner to the west of him to develop in order to run a street for that developer's convenience, not to serve his convenience. Councilmember Jacobson understood the property to the west is not under Mr. Emmerich's ownership; it is under "\ someone else's and that someone would have to pay to extend the road in front of the lots they are _./ discussing and the owner to the west is not going to do that. Mr. Berkowitz indicated there is an impact. Obviously, ifhe develops that lot, when the roadway is reconstructed and the driveway relocation done there would have to be some additional grading done in that front yard. The concern staffhas is that there is not the proper front footage on a roadway to meet the ordinance. If it is something the Council is thinking about considering, he would request Mr. Emmerich put together formal information and they have this as a discussion item possibly at the next Council meeting. Mayor Gamache asked if the issue is because the road will curve because if they have a cul-de-sac going in there and the cul-de-sac is going to be built all the way out to the next development. Mr. Berkowitz stated they will actually keep the cul-de-sac short so it will not impact the adjacent property because there is no right of entry or agreement to do that. They have to keep the temporary cul-de-sac and the utilities short of the property line to make that work. Mr. Berkowitz noted staff asked Mr. Emmerich to work with the adjacent property owner to see if they could extend the bubble into that property but he was unsuccessful. Councilmember Jacobson stated the variance and hardship cannot be something the developer has created. Councilmember Trude stated this is created by their conditions that the developer provides the adjacent property owner with access. If they just said the developer had to build to access their ') lots on the land he is developing, that lot would be in a finished street. '---/ Councilmember Orttel stated he would like to see this as a discussion item at another meeting. \ ) j Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 19, 2006 Page 3 AGENDA APPROVAL Remove from Discussion Items for Consent Items 10, (Consider Zoning Ordinance AmendmentJEstablishing Closed Landfill Restricted Zone); Item II (Consider Comprehensive Plan Amendment/Change Landfill's Designation to Open Space), Item 12 (Consider Rezoning/Change Landfill Site Zoning to Closed Landfill Restricted) and Item 13, (Consider Ordinance Amendment/City Code Section 9-1-6 Construction Near WDE).

September 5, 2006, Regular Meeting: Correct as amended. '\ ) Councilmember Trude stated on the workshop minutes she wanted to change one word. They were discussing the Community Ed program and the minutes read "moving $43,000 te from the Community Ed Program". Councilmember Trude stated in the regular minutes there is a problem with the motion on the used car lot and she indicated she checked this with staff. The actual motion on page 14 Councilmember Orttel made and she seconded, it was typed the motion was as presented but in reality they amended the motion because they deleted all of the whereas items. Councilmember Jacobson stated on page 18 of the Regular Minutes under the motion at the top of the second line, the line begins with "or' and should be "of' instead. Councilmember Trude stated on page 17, they talked about Wendy Albie in paragraph two and she commented "she had worked with Community Center staff".

Motion carried unanimously. \ ) RECEIVE ANOKA COUNTY SHERIFF DEPARTMENT MONTHLY REPORT Sergeant Kryer, Anoka County Sheriff's Department, provided an update on law enforcement activities occurring within Andover. --' Councilmember Jacobson stated he is not aware the Sheriff's Office does vehicle lock outs anymore and asked if there is a charge for it. Sergeant Kryer stated this is a free of charge service that a Community Service Officer will perform. HOLD PUBLIC HEARINGIROADWAY RECONSTRUCTION ASSESSMENT POLICY City Engineer Berkowitz explained the City Council is requested to hold a public hearing at 7:00 p.m. for the proposed Roadway Reconstruction Assessment Policy. Mr. Berkowitz discussed the staff report with the City Council. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Trude, to open the public hearing at 7:30 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Robert Whitney, 2520 I 66th Avenue NW, stated the change from five years to eight years will be greatly appreciated. He understood the City does annual surveys of residents' opinions on a regular basis and he wondered ifit would be possible to include in a future survey a question on should the . ') funding for this be through assessment or funded through an increase in a tax rate. That way people 'J do not have large bills come due somewhat unexpectedly. Mr. Curt Fenske, 2777 I 67th Lane, asked for more of an explanation on the curb and gutter policy. Mr. Berkowitz reviewed the curb and gutter policy for the residents. '. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 19, 2006 Page 5 ~J . --' Mr. Fenske asked if it would be aesthetically better to have the same neighborhood to have all curb and gutter. Mr. Berkowitz stated if they were to put concrete curb and gutter in to canalize the water in all the older developments that have ditches, they would have to provide storm water ponding which takes up area to make that feasible. It would be hard to go into an area and take someone's house or someone's large property and try to develop a pond to handle the storm water so the way things were designed with ditches, there is the storm water treatment for that storm water. Mr. Fenske stated the twenty-five percent is a good thing because initially they were told they had to pay for everything. He would not mind having a nice new paved road and cement curbs but where his lot stops and the rest takes over is a dirt road. This new road does not do him any good because when the cars go by the dust still flies up to them. He would entertain some thoughts on the dirt road because that cost money to maintain as well. He wondered if there are plans to do anything. Mayor Gamache stated they have looked at a couple of them over the years and usually it takes a neighborhood wanting the road to be paved in order for the City to do it. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Trude, to close the public hearing at 7:40 p.m. Motion carried \ unanimously. .J J Councilmember Jacobson asked City Attorney Hawkins in the draft policy on the bottom of page two, under the assessment period, if the word "shall" should be replaced with "may". City Attorney Hawkins stated if the policy is to be assessed for eight years, they should take out the words "up to". He agreed that "may" should replace "shall". Councilmember Jacobson stated at the top under "general" at the beginning of the second draft, if fronting along the new roadway is proper. City Attorney Hawkins did not know because it is difficult to assess benefit to the properties that are abutting the road. Councilmember Trude wanted to compliment staff on their very thorough review of this policy and working with the Council and the residents. Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Jacobson, to approve the policy as written. Motion carried unanimously. CONSIDER PRELIMINARY PLATIHICKORY MEADOWS/LOCATED EAST OF PRAIRIE ROAD ON ANDOVER BOULEVARD -,- ; ) '-../ City Engineer Berkowitz explained the Council is asked to review a Preliminary Plat for Hickory Meadows. The Council previously reviewed a sketch plan for the entire area south of Andover Boulevard and east of Prairie Road. The proposed plat contains 45 lots at the center of that sketch plan. Mr. Berkowitz reviewed the information with the Council. "-.J :-J ..:J Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 19, 2006 Page 6 Councilmember Jacobson stated he looked at this item and found nine issues they will want to discuss. Trail location, sewer, route of sewer, the backwards house, parkland location, the possibility of gaining open space along the creek, retaining wall issue, Butternut road closure, Cottonwood road issue and the tree issue. Mr. Brad Wilkening, Hakanson Anderson and Mr. Bruce Carlson were at the meeting to discuss the preliminary plat with the Council. Mr. Wilkening stated they realize there is questionable construction as to the sewer on Andover Boulevard and they have come up with an alternative. Rather than run gravity sewer down Andover Boulevard, it may be a better procedure to install a temporary lift station as if the gravity sewer were going through the location they want it to eventually go through. He reviewed the procedure and path of the sewer. He stated this will minimize the impact to Andover Boulevard and in the future when the gravity sewer is installed, the lift station could be removed. Councilmember Trude asked if there was a certain lifetime for a temporary lift station. Mr. Wilkening stated in talking to Mr. Berkowitz that it would be constructed as ifit were a normal lift station. Councilmember Trude stated at this point they have to plan that this parcel will never develop. Mr. Berkowitz stated staff would want this treated as if it were a permanent lift station. Councilmember Jacobson thought this idea was a better solution to the problem. He asked Mr. Berkowitz if Butternut and 144th needed to be deep because all of the flow would be coming from the north to the south. Mr. Berkowitz did not think it would need to be that deep. Councilmember Trude asked at what point do they maximize the capacity for the sewer line that is going to come up from Shadowbrook under the creek. Mr. Berkowitz stated the way it was designed in the last sewer study is that it goes north to Andover Boulevard, west crossing Prairie Road and then goes north and picks up one parcel north of Andover Boulevard, west of Prairie. Councilmember Jacobson asked if the developer is proposing to install the sewer system at their expense or are they asking the City to do a 429 and do it at City expense. Mr. Carlson indicated they will be doing it at their own expense. Councilmember Trude stated there is a newer resolution and there is a condition related to the sewer and sewer study. She asked if the conditions cover the sewer issue adequately. Mr. Berkowitz stated they do. ' Councilmember Jacobson stated the trail is proposed to go along 144th on the north side of the street and there was talk at the Planning Commission meeting about the trail going along Coon Creek. He felt along the creek would be the best. He thought because this is a flood zone, maybe they could look at some open space along there. Mr. Carlson thought because there is some land that is high along the creek; they might want to consider using that space for parkland. (J Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 19, 2006 Page 7 He thought this was also a better area to have a trail and park which would be more conducive to what Andover is trying to do. He suggested giving the City the three acres along the creek and put the park there also. Councilmember Trude thought the park could be a more passive park. Mr. Berkowitz noted any land that is under a hundred year flood elevation, the developer does not receive any credit for and they would have to evaluate as they go through. The Council discussed with the developer the different options for a trail and park. Councilmember Trude thought there were trees on the hill by the creek and would keep the view. She thought the trees could be saved and she wondered if the developer is going to excavate that area. Mr. Carlson stated they were not and they were going to try to save as many trees as possible. Councilmember Jacobson stated he would be in favor of the south park and the trail. Mr. Berkowitz asked if the Council would authorize staff to do further investigation on whether this is a feasible option. The Council thought that was a good idea. , '\ '0 Councilmember Trude wondered if a sidewalk made sense on the main east/west street in and out of the development because the area is getting busy and people need a way to get in and out of the development. She thought a sidewalk would be more attractive than a bituminous path. Mayor Gamache thought a sidewalk on the north side of I 44th would be a good idea. Mr. Dickinson stated one of the questions the developer had was if the Council was looking at having the developer construct the sidewalk at his expense and if so, would they be open to concessions on the trails ifhe builds sidewalks. Councilmember Orttel stated the way the policy works is the trail along the creek is a regional trail and is always paid for by the City. The other is internal to the plat and would be paid for by the developer. Mr. Carlson indicated he would be willing to work with the City on the park because they will be down there working. The Council discussed the trail and sidewalk construction with the developer. The Council thought the priority was to get the trail along the creek and work with the developer on the park while he was down there. Mr. Carlson thought they would be able to transplant some of the trees from the area where homes will be to the area by the creek where the park will be located. Councilmember Trude thought they would need to move trees anyway and grade. \ ,~ Councilmember Trude stated in the packet there is a tree map and she knew the neighbors on the south side of the creek were concerned with tree preservation. She asked the tree preservation plan be reviewed. Councilmember Jacobson stated in looking at their grading plans that most of the trees south of ,,) Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 19, 2006 Page 8 Andover Boulevard are going to go. Councilmember Trude stated the trees by the creek do not show up on the tree preservation plans. Mr. Carlson stated most ofthe grading will be done in one area. He stated they are trying to leave as many trees as possible because it will make the land more valuable. Mr. Carlson showed on the map in what area of the development he is going to try to save trees. Mr. Carlson stated the trees in the flood plain by the creek will not be touching. Mr. Wilkening indicated they will not be grading by the creek but that there are some areas where they will not be able to save trees. Mayor Gamache indicated they need to discuss the existing home. Mr. Carlson reviewed the existing house with the Council and stated the house is too large to move. He showed on the map how they are planning to change the landscaping to make the front look like the backyard. He stated they have already put $50 to $60 thousand in the house to remodel it. Mayor Gamache asked if the requirements where they need to change the ordinance is the fact that it is a little larger and has a backyard encroachment. Councilmember Trude thought it was '\ the way their code describes the backyard because she came in and discussed this with staff and o there will be lots of yard in front and in back of the houses that face Andover Boulevard. Mr. Carlson stated this is the fIrst time he has had to change the front of the house in all of the developments he has done. He stated he is trying to work with the City, but it is a house that cannot be moved. Mr. Berkowitz stated on page seven of the staff report, the intent of the lot is shown in the fourth Whereas. He stated there needs to be a variance of21.9 feet if the house were to remain the way it is. The east side is considered the rear yard setback. Councilmember Trude wondered if there will be room for a deck and swing set in the backyard of this house. Mr. Dickinson showed on the map how the house is situated on the property. Councilmember Trude wondered if the owner could do a lot split and keep the existing house isolated from this development. City Attorney Hawkins asked if in the preliminary plat, they platted all contiguous property they own. They would have to grant a variance otherwise. Councilmember Trude stated she would like to consider this because the house is an estate house and belongs on a large lot. She did not think it would ever look right in this development. She asked Mr. Carlson if this would be something he would like to do. Mr. Dickinson stated they would have to pose the question to the County. ~J Mayor Gamache wanted to make sure they were straight on the back rear setback and if it is necessary to call it a rear yard setback. Also, he wanted to know if a variance was in there if it was the side yard. Councilmember Trude asked which way the Council sees this house facing. Mayor Gamache stated because the driveway faces Dogwood Street making the west side of the ,) Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 19, 2006 Page 9 house the front, then the rear yard setback is the area they are discuss. He wanted to know if they need to have the variance in there even though it does not seem like it is the back. It is for lot 8 and will be for lot 7 and for the other block. Lots 1-4 all border up against it so he would consider leaving the variance in there as it reads. Councilmember Trude stated the only thing she would change if they were to keep this as part of the development, is to square offlot 9 such that you could draw a parallel line continuous with the left side of the drawing of the house and bring it out to Andover Boulevard. She stated she would be willing to do a variance there to maintain the integrity of that structure. Councilmember Trude wondered if the existing home will be connected to utilities. Mr. Berkowitz stated that was added when they changed some of the conditions. Mr. Dickinson reviewed the retaining wall with the Council. Councilmember Trude stated she has seen other communities use this and it seems to maintain a separation between the existing and new development. ~~) Mr. Wilkening stated the reason they are using the retaining wall is there is approximately ten feet of drop from one cul-de-sac to the other. He stated to make the houses fit with the streets they cannot at the same time fit the grade that is already there on the east side. Councilmember Orttel asked how high the retaining wall is. Mr. Wilkening indicated it is seven feet at the highest and varied throughout. Mr. Berkowitz indicated there would be a fence on top for protection. Councilmember Jacobson stated he heard the retaining wall is to be built on the property and he also heard it would be built about ten feet off of the property line. Mr. Wilkening stated they have it drawn ten feet from the property line. Councilmember Jacobson stated if they have the lot line that goes to the property line, a ten foot side yard easement, where will the house pad go. Mr. Wilkening stated it depends because sometimes the foundation of the home can be the retaining wall. The home could go up to that line but it depends on how they want to build the home itself. Councilmember Jacobson thought it may pose a problem because that is an easement for utilities and other things. The Council discussed with the applicant how the homes will fit on the pads with the retaining wall. Councilmember Trude assumed staff would look at the retaining wall for drainage issues and :~ stability and their side yard rules with setback. Councilmember Jacobson asked if and when the property to the east becomes available, would it be the intention to take the wall down and regrade everything on the east. Mr. Wilkening stated this is something they need to discuss too because the intention is that when the streets are .~) Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 19, 2006 Page 10 continued, that a similar grade for the backyards would be continued as well. Councilmember Orttel thought Engineering needs to look at this issue before they install the wall. Councilmember Trude assumed this retaining wall will go through review at the Preliminary Plat. Mr. Berkowitz indicated that was correct. Councilmember Jacobson stated the Anoka County Highway Department has said when Cottonwood Street goes in eventually Butternut Street would close. Everyone east of this plat once it is developed, will have all of the traffic come to the west existing onto Cottonwood, then onto Andover Boulevard. This is going to be interesting because with all of the traffic coming from the east along with this plat and some from the plat just to the west coming in later, is that entrance to Andover Boulevard and Cottonwood Street big enough to support that much traffic when everything else is closed off? He wondered if this will be a problem and if they will have stacking. , \ Mr. Berkowitz stated they would take additional right-of-way through the plat of sixty-six feet '. ~ for Cottonwood Street. What that would create is a designated right turn lane and a designated left turn lane. There will be one thru lane going southbound. Councilmember Trude thought they could discuss the park plan in the development with the Park Commission at their meeting on Thursday. Mr. Dickinson stated the developer has indicated to him that they do have some purchase agreement issues and they would like to see if the Council would entertain an approval of the preliminary plat with identification of certain items to be resolved by fmal plat. Mr. John MoWencamp stated he was speaking on behalf of Carmen MoWencamp who sent the Council a letter. He stated her one concern as far as the cul-de-sac is drainage. She is worried that the snow plowing would be plowed onto her property and she did not feel ten feet was enough area to provide for that. He stated she does have slight problems with drainage on her property now. Mr. MoWencamp showed photos of Ms. MoWencamps' property and possible drainage issues. He stated she is also concerned about the loss of trees on her property. Mr. MoWencamp stated Ms. MoWencamp is worried about utilities going along the highway because there are gas lines there. Councilmember Jacobson stated the developer needs to work ,_) this out with Gopher One. Mr. Terry Hilley, stated he sent the Council a letter with his concerns. In with the approval of this plat, he did not think there was a designated plat as to what is being done. It seems there are a lot of variances that need to be taken care of and a lot of issues that are still unresolved and C) Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 19, 2006 Page II purchase agreement issues that still need to be addressed. He stated they need to take a look at the park because originally it was set in the middle of the development to be used by the residents of the new development and now the park is being moved south along the creek to where no one can use it. There is no access to the residents of the new development to this area and no access to anyone. If they are going to bring access up Butternut, it will be closed and he wondered how people will get there to use it and what will be in the park. Mr. Hilley stated there are no trees next to the creek and there are trees further up the tree line. He stated the hundred year and five hundred year flood plain need to be addressed through FEMA fIrst to get a variance from that before anything else can be started. Once they alter the ground work, it affects everything to the east along Coon Creek. MR. Berkowitz stated in the revised condition in the resolution, the five hundred year flood is called the flood fringe. They can go ahead and fIll in the flood fringe without any formal approvals up front but before that is a buildable lot, they need to have a letter of map revision which is being addressed. He stated the one hundred year flood way needs a full hydrologic evaluation. Mr. Hilley stated he was concerned with the tree removal on the property and he thought all of r " the large trees will be destroyed. \, .J '\ '-J Mr. Hilley stated with the proposal, there were too many variables and things that needed to be changed. He thought there needs to be a set thing that needs to be done. Mr. Hilley stated they have not heard from the builder to the west to see what he plans on doing. When the builder indicated he would give the City two to three parcels of property for the park, it looked like he took land from each of the adjacent properties to incorporate into the park. He thought there were too many issues and they should go back to square one and try to correct the problems. Ms. Connie Holloway, 209 1420d Avenue NW, stated her property line is approximately 500 feet from Coon Creek. Her major concern is for children. At times the creek does rise depending upon snowfall. She asked the Councilmembers to consider children when placing the park and trail in the development. Councilmember Jacobson asked when they looked at this, was the park dedication short of what is required. Mr. Dickinson stated the amount ofland the City would give credit for a park is determined by a computation outlined in the ordinance. Mr. Berkowitz stated there is no credit for a trail easement. Mr. Dickinson stated they are looking at 2.5 acres they could take in land. Councilmember Trude reviewed the discussion they covered at the meeting. Councilmember Orttel asked City Attorney Hawkins if it was ok to approve a preliminary plat with seven or eight "subject to" conditions. Mr. Hawkins stated they do it but it depends on how comfortable the Council feels and what they are. Approving a preliminary plat is a big legal step in terms of giving property rights to a developer. Councilmember Trude did not think they were -) Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 19, 2006 Page 12 ready or comfortable to approve the preliminary plat at this time. Mr. Carlson stated they have been working on this for two years and if this is not approved by October I S\ it will cost him a lot of money. He stated he has given up and done a lot and for the past year he has tried to do what was right for everybody on this and he has spent a lot of his own money in the process. He indicated he is just trying to get this done and he did not see that many issues. He stated he needs to get the preliminary plat approved by October I st. Councilmember Orttel stated he did not know what the conditions are and he would like to see them in writing in order that they can review this again at the September 26th workshop. He stated he has never seen a list this long with issues on a preliminary plat.

The new proposal will require PUD review and contains 19 detached townhomes, two standard R-410ts and four existing homes. The attached table compares the proposal to the R-4 Zoning District Standards and previously approved detached townhouse projects. DISCUSSION Access The plan shows a single access to Crooked Lake Boulevard, as previously suggested. An independent intersection study indicated the new intersection would provide adequate sight distance. The study assumes a southbound right turn lane would be constructed along the west side of Crooked Lake Boulevard. It should be noted that a variance would be needed to allow an intersection at less than 330 feet from Bunker Lake Boulevard (approximately 305 feet from centerline to centerline as proposed). The streets are proposed to be 28 feet in width. The city typically permits parking on only one side of 28 foot wide streets. The plan shows a connection to the existing sidewalk along Bunker Lake Boulevard between lots 7 and 8. Eidelweiss Street Drainage Issue A turnaround is proposed at the north end of Eidelweiss Street. With appropriate grading, the existing drainage issue can be resolved. Unit Style The applicant has indicated the unit style will be similar to that of Bunker Lake Village. Photographs were shown at the September 5th Council Meeting. The homes would have a two or three car garage depending on the size of the lot. Homeowners Association The applicant has indicated that it is their intent to create a homeowners association to maintain the lawn areas and landscaping outside of the building envelope. Repair and replacement of the building exteriors and driveways would be the responsibility of each owner. ~-) , 'j '-../ . .'\ J Neighborhood Involvement A neighborhood meeting was held on Thursday, June 8th, The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 13th and the Council reviewed this item on June 20th, July 18th and September 5th. A petition opposing the project was previously'provided to the Council. The neighborhood previously suggested the following modifications: I. Reduce the number of units and reduce the number of variances requested 2. Reduce traffic impacts on existing streets 3. Save as many trees as possible, especially along Bunker Lake Boulevard. 4. Provide a buffer of space and trees adjacent to existing homes. 5. Make trail connections to provide safe pedestrian routes from the neighborhood to schools, parks and the lake 6. Ensure safe environmental design as regards storm water drainage, grading, utility construction and protection of the existing water table/wells Planning Commission Recommendation The Commission indicated that while planned unit development review would allow more amenities than could be achieved through the standard R-4 Zoning District requirements, the proposal fell short in the following areas: 1. There were too many units 2. The issues raised during the discussion (described above) needed to be addressed 3. All components of the proposal need to be shown on the plans Staff Recommendation The applicant has revised the plan to address many of these concerns. The number of units has been reduced from 25 units to 19 units and two R-4 lots. Both the original and current plan contain four existing homes. The impact to local streets would be eliminated with the proposed access to Crooked Lake Boulevard. A detailed tree preservation plan and landscaping plan will need to be prepared and can be further reviewed as a part of the preliminary plat. Trail connections still need to be provided and a second access is recommended, as described above. ACTION REQUESTED The Council is asked to discuss the proposal and to require any modifications that would satisfy the PUD criteria or to indicate that the proposal should not move forward as a PUD.

I am ~equestingto add a sewer and water service to this lot now rather than later and prior to the cul-de-sac having curbed and asphalt put in place. The future extension of the road from a temporary cul-de-sac will require a new service laterals to be relocated directly in front of the lot 7 Block 3 upon extension of the road in the future. This will be paid by the owner of the property and will be recorded in an agreement with the City as such along with the cost of moving the driveway, yard repair. This will not impact Lot 4,5,6 Block 3 and Lot3 Block 3 or change the responsibility of the cost of the associated expenses with removing of the old cul-de-sac and repairing of yard, curd, street and extension of services costto be paid by the future developer ofthe property to the east and or north All other utilities will be atthe all lot permanently upon completion of Phase lWhite Pine Wilderness approximately November 15, 2006 ThankYou for your consideration of this proposal Sincerely, Larry EmmeriCh',resident Signature .- ' "- ,,-.J r '.

WWW.CI.ANDOVER.MN.US Mayor and Councilmembers TO: FROM: Jim Dickinson, City Administrator SUBJECT: Update on Community Center Refinancing DATE: October 3, 2006 INTRODUCTION Activity in the current bond market is indicating that there may be an opportunity for the Andover Economic Development Authority (EDA) to potentially save some significant long term debt service expense by refinancing the EDA's $19,640,000 Public Facility Lease Revenue Bonds, Series 2004. DISCUSSION City Staff has been working with an underwriter (Northland Securities), our fiscal advisor (Ehlers & Associates), and the City's bond counsel (Briggs & Morgan) to explore whether or not the time is right to refinance the Community Center Bonds. ') The EDA, at their October 3, 2006 meeting will be discussing some preliminary debt service , ./ comparisons prepared by Northland Securities, based on market projections on September 21,2006. The projections are showing long term savings ranging from $933,482.77 to $1,660,708.28 and present value savings ranging from $508,077.20 to $528,711.73. As you are all aware the bond market is somewhat volatile and that on any given date the market can change. The EDA will be considering a new streamlined approach to refinancing the EDA's bonds. The new approach is initiated by what is called a "parameters resolution" where the EDA Board of Commissioners authorizes, the City Administrator, City of Andover, Minnesota, to execute a Bond Purchase Agreement which will approve the sale of the Bonds to Northland, provided that the total net savings accomplished by the refunding is at an amount set by the EDA and the net present value savings as a percentage of the present value of the refunded debt service of the 2004 Bonds is at a percentage acceptable to the EDA. Ifrefinancing bonds are pursued, the City Council will be asked to authorize updated lease agreements at a future meeting. ACTION REOUESTED No action is needed; this staff report is intended to provide an update to the Council of contemplated actions of the Andover EDA. , ) .-.J "\ ,j , ) (j5 1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD N.W. .

SUBJECT: Review Charitable Gambling Ordinance DATE: October 3,2006 INTRODUCTION The City of Andover has a Gambling Ordinance that guides charitable gambling within the City of Andover. At a recent meeting the Council was asked to review the ordinance by a local sports association. DISCUSSION To assist the Council in the discussion, the following attachments are provided: I. Letter from Andover Baseball Association 2. City of Andover Gambling Ordinance 3. "Lawful Gambling Information and Requirements for Local Units of Government in Minnesota" from the Gambling Control Board. 4. Minnesota Statute 349.213 Local Authority 5. LG510 City or County Annual Report, 10%. Contribution Fund 6. Minnesota House Research "Charitable Gambling: An Overview" If modifications to the ordinance are desired by the Council, staff would prepare the necessary ordinance amendments and bring those to a future Council meeting or workshop for review. After that review, the Council would then be requested to schedule a public hearing on the ordinance. The earliest a public hearing could be scheduled would be November 21 st. ACTION REOUESTED The Andover City Council is requested to review the attached request, the current City Gambling Ordinance and provide direction to staff if any modifications are needed. -- Attachments " '~ /~ V * Hi- I would like to clarify a few things after hearing some remarks at the Sept. 5th Andover City Council meeting. Andover Baseball Association does not pay elected board members, 'keeping money from the kids'; they are volunteers. They did, however, hire a gambling manager to run their gambling operation. The gambling manager has to be on the ABA board because of MN Gambling Control Board (GCB) rules. Most gambling managers are paid positions to ensure proper business practices and bring integrity to the operation. It is run like a business; dealing with state laws, city laws, monthly tax forms, the IRS, payroll, distributors, employees, decisions on game play, yearly audits, schedules, monthly reports to the ABA board, check writing and banking, donation decisions, etc. The organizations are subject to possible large fines and suspension or loss of their gambling license. Many organizations also pay an assistant gambling manager, secretary and accountant. We do not. The ABA wouldn't have been able to provide the $130,000 + that we have donated without gambling. There are, understandably, expenses that go along with gambling operations. Approximately 82% of the total gross is paid back in prizes. The other 18% is spent on charitable donations, expenses, and taxes, licenses and fees. As you know, the City of Andover receives 10% of the profits. The gambling manager's salary and seller's wages are included in the expenses of the gambling operation. Our expenses last year were at 42.3% with the state average at 50% (the MN GCB allowed 55%). Our charitable donations were at 43.6% with the state average at 28%. All of our profits have gone back to the Andover community. We do not pay our coaches like some organizations. The ABA works very hard at running an honest, low-cost gambling operation. Please feel free to call or e-mail me with any questions you may have.

Courtney: In accordance with the requirements for P.U.D. to be accepted by the city we are giving a project narrative of the benefits for this project. Under the P.U.D. guidelines, up to 4 units per acre are allowed. We are proposing 22 new single family units and 4 existing homes on our sketch, which equates to 3.35 units per acre, based upon the gross acreage of7.76 acres. If at a future date the 4 existing homes decided to split their lots which would add an additional 4 lots to this area, the density would then become 3.87 units per acre, still under the 4 units per acre. We have done an aerial photo survey of the existing trees and a tree loss calculation comparing our proposed P.U.D. sketch to a standard R-4 single family lot sketch. There are no variances in our R-4 sketch. The tree loss comparison shows that ifthe P.U.D. sketch is accepted only 51 % of the existing trees would be lost. Another very important point shown in the P.U.D. sketch is the large wooded buffers that separate the villa lots from the large existing lots. We are proposing to plant a staggered row of 6' tall pine trees along Bunker Lake Blvd. to buffer between the storm pond and the street. We are proposing to install a sidewalk on the East side of Gladiola within the boundaries of our plat and a hard surface path from the cul-de-sac connecting North to the existing sidewalk paralleling Bunker Lake Blvd. on the South right-of-way. City of Andover September 29, 2006 Page 2 A bituminous hammer head turnaround is being installed on the North end of Eidelweiss where it currently dead ends. Along with the bituminous turnaround, a small storm drain is being installed to fix an on going storm water problem on the North end of Eidelweiss. Sanitary water is also being installed to the North end of Eidelweiss where it dead ends for future hook ups of the existing homes. A right turn lane on Crooked Lake Blvd. is proposed to enter into the P.U.D. project, which will help with traffic flow and safety at this intersection. Along with all of these benefits to the neighborhood, the homes that are planned will be constructed of high quality materials, with stone, brick, shake and siding fronts. The majority of the Villa lots will have side load garages to enhance the curb appeal from the street view. These construction standards will be in the recorded covenants of this project to protect the values of the new P.U.D. and surrounding neighborhood. Please find enclosed photos similar of the type, style and quality ofthe homes that we are proposmg . Sincerely, /1J# IJ Todd D.

There are still 21 units being proposed so the density is still an issue. We believe that there are other ways to reconfigure the single family plan with fewer units and using the outlet off of Crooked Lake Blvd. We asked for a 50 foot buffer between the development and the neighborhood and that is still missing. There are still two houses on the Gladiola lot. The neighbors abutting the property off of Eidelweiss would like to have a privacy fance erected if feasible. Thanks.

WWW.CI.ANDOVER.MN.US Mayor and Councilmembers ~ Jim Dickinson, City Administrator ~ Will Neumeister, Community DevelopQ Director a./cI-- FROM: SUBJECT: (Supplemental) Approve Final Plat/White Pine Wildemess/161 st Avenue and Crane St- Planning DATE: October 3, 2006 INTRODUCTION The applicant is requesting a variance to buildability requirements on Lot 7, Block 3 as described in the item that Todd Haas addressed as an addendum to the Final Plat for "White Pine Wildemess". DISCUSSION City Code 11-3-6-C requires that lots front on a publicly dedicated street. As proposed, the plat for White Pine Wilderness does not have a street in front of Lot 7, Block 3. The applicant is seeking a variance so that a house may be built on the lot before the street is extended in front of it. Staff is recommending denial of the request based on the following rationale. I. The lot does not front on a conforming public street. If approved, without a clear hardship, a precedent may be set by allowing construction on an unbuildable lot. Future situations could be presented by property owners where lots may not have essential services or lot dimensions, but reference to this approval may put a future Council in a difficult position. 2. The applicant has not provided the City with clear evidence of a hardship as defined by Minnesota State Statute. A variance to the Code requires a hardship. The hardship must not be financial in nature. However, if the Council desires to grant approval and makes findings for granting the variance, specific items related to this lot must be included in the resolution, such as: I. The City would require a cash payment to cover all the costs associated with bringing the utilities up to standard and repairing the damage when the street is eventually brought through to Lot 7, Block 3. This includes, among other costs, reconstructing the water and sewer lines to connect with the main line in a normal fashion, relocating the driveway so it faces onto the new street properly, repairing the boulevard and lawn from all the construction damage. ACTION REQUESTED The Council is asked to decide whether or not to grant the variance to City Code 11-3-6-C. requested by Larry Emmerich.
