BY: Vicki Volk BY:! , MOTION by Jacobson, seconded by Vistadt that the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council approval of a variance requested by Steve Johnson for the property known as PIN 29 32 24 13 0024 for the following reasons: 1) The variance would allow use of the property in a manner which would conform to the alignment of existing structures on either side of it~ 2) Approval is pursuant to Ordinance 8 and Ordinance 71. Approval is contingent upon the applicant applying for sanitary sewer and also subject to DNR approval per Ordinance 71. Motion carried unanimously. Engineering Comments: The DNR should not be involved in making a decision on this because this lot was created prior to the adoption of the Shore land Management Ordinance. But the Engineering Depart- ment will strongly agree with ordinance 71 (IV) (B)(1-4). I would also recommend a soils engineer certify excavation and removal of stumps and the testing of any fill which may be necessary. Building Official Comments: In my opinion the DNR does not have to make a decision on this, only the city.

ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT Non-Discussion Items ITEM Street Lighting/Hills of NO. Bunker Lake Engineering 4b BY: James E. Schrantz The City Council is requested to consider a request from Hills, street lighting. FOR r decorative This is the 2nd request as Kensington Estates has requested decorative street lighting. I recommend that the street lighting maintenance and electricity costs be made part of a covenant. The city can bill the properties as a utility along with water and sanitary sewer. The City cannot take this kind of obligation on as a general fund budget item.

Our electrical contractor has been in touch with Anoka Electric and has developed a plan for Phase I which would include 45 light fixtures. It is our intent to contract and install these lights in Phase I and future phases. We would assume the total cost of this project. It is our desire to turn the lighting over to the City after completion and we would request that the City assume the responsibility of maintenance and for paying the charges for electricity used. It would appear that these charges would be passed on to the resident along with sewer/water charges. We plan to be on the Agenda at your June 16, 1987 meeting to discuss this matter further. on this proposal.

Richard Kvanbeck. T. F. James Company - reviewed a site plan of the property and explained the proposed relocation and expansion of the pumping facilities. ,He stated they have an option to purchase the adjoining piece of property to the north to al low for additional parking and to put an addition onto the building. They propose opening a video store next to the Speedy Market Store. Mr. Kvanbeck noted a correction In the number of pumping hoses. Their proposal Is to have a multi-product fueling dispensary with two Islands of four fueling stations. for a total of 24 hoses. A canopy will be Instal led over the fueling Islands. The existing fuel tanks wll I be used and they are not planning to add any more storage tanks to the property.

James Company to vary from the landscape requirement of a 20-foot depth along al I streets. The Commission felt the 20 feet of green area was necessary for protection and vlslbl I Ity at that Intersection. The Commission felt the parking ~s shown was more than adequate with the required landscaped area; but ~ney also recommended a reduced parking stal I size be allowed, which would al low even more parking. . j o o (- Regular City Council Meeting Minutes - March 17, 1987 Page 3 (T. F. James Company Variance. Continued)' Mr. Kvanbeck - stated there is additional green because the asphalt area would come within 10 feet of their right of way for both county roads, and there Is 30 feet between the property line and the shoulder of the road. So there would be approximately 40 feet of green area from the traveled portion of the road to their parking lot. They have requested a 10-foot variance because they feel It Is important to maintain a good flow of traffic through the facility by eliminating confusion and congestion. They would like to move ~he parking stal Is to the south 10 feet and open up an area for passing between the parking stal Is and the pumping facility.

Grading & Filli~9 Permit 5a By:d'Arcy BY: Attached is a proposed grading and filling permit which we require for the enforcement of. Ordinances No. 50 (Flood Plain Management), Ordinance No. 52 (Scenic River Ordinance) and Ordinance No. 71, Shoreland Management Ordinance. In each of these ordinances, in order to do any grading and/or filling, it requires a permit to do so. The attached permit was adapted from the model permit provided by the DNR. The criteria and information is directly adapted from the model permit. The only remaining item on this permit is the permit fees. It is my recommendation that a fee of $50.00 be charged for review of this permit. As you can tell from the plans required to be submitted, there is a considerable amount of time required and a certain amount of expertise (engineering) needed. to make the determinations as set out in the attachments. The choice of $50.00 was in order to cover some of the costs of the personnel required to administer this request, anyon-site inspections that may need to be made, and review.

MINNESOTA 55433 PHONE (6121 784.2998 June 8, 1987 Mr. James E. Schrantz Andover City Hall 1685 Crosstown Blvd. Andover, MN 55304 Re: City of Andover Housing and Redevelopment Authority Steven D. Orttel and Mark Van Vuren Dear Jim: Enclosed please find two proposed purchase agreements with Steven D. Orttel and Mark Van Vuren for the lots and mobile homes that they own located in the Nordeen Addition. The agreements are subject to approval by the City Attorney. We have received appraisals on both of the properties from Ameri Corp Valuations, Inc. The appraisal on the Orttel parcel valued the lot and the mobile home at $16,900.00. Of the total price, $15,500.00 is allocated to the lot value. The appraisal on the Van Vuren property was $25,500.00, including lot, mobile home, two car garage and porch. Of the total price, $15,500.00 was allocated to the value of the land. Based upon the cost to acquire these properties by eminent domain, it would appear that from an economic standpoint the acquisitions of the properties at the negotiated prices would be reasonable. The City Council should also remember that after the acquisition they will also be responsible for taking possession and dis- posing of the mobile homes and personal property on the land in preparation for the sale of the lots. Would you please present the purchase agreements to the City Council for their considera- tion. G. Hawkins o Vi.GH : mk Encs. STANDARD PURCHASE AGREEMENT WHITE-Office Copy YEILOW.Buyer'.

This capacity was determined on the basis of our current complement of 70 full time employees, an allowance for expansion of the work force, and provision for visitor parking. We have been informed that your ordinances would require the provision of 152 parking spaces, based on the square foot area of our buildings. To resolve this difference, we request that the City of Andover grant the County of Anoka a variance in parking spaces required for building and accept the 108 spaces that are being provided. Should you need additional information or clarification, please feel free to contact the writer. Z'2S' Paul K. Ruud, PE County Engineer cc: Natalie Haas Steffen County Commissioner o Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer FOR YOUR INFORMATION Homestead taxpayers in the Hills of Bunker Lake will find its property tax rates very competitive with and usually lower than neighboring communities. The 1987 mill rate for the City of Andover is 100.142, compared with 106.703 for Anoka and 110.806 for Coon Rapids. Andover population growth is expected to increase 13 percent annually for the next five years. There has also been a surge in the number of housing starts in the area. Median price of Andover houses built in 1986 was $135,000, higher than those in Minnetonka, Eagan, Burnsville and many other communities. The City of Andover was first known as Grow Township, named after a unionist senator from Pennsylvania. Local legend attributes the name change to an incident which occured at the turn of the century. Legend has it that one of the first engines to travel the Great Northern rail tracks through the area derailed in a swamp. Eyewitnesses described how the train "went over and over." In 1974 the name change became official and Grow Township became the City of Andover. , A COMMITMENT TO EDUCATION Anoka Hennepin Independent School District 11 serves the City of Andover. The school system encompasses 13 muncipalities and more than 30,000 students in grades K-12. District 11 currently is the largest suburban school district in Minnesota, but it has not outgrown its commitment to quality. District 11 serves 25 elementary schools, one middle school, five junior high schools and three senior high schools. The district also features Anoka Vocational Technical Institute, offering a variety of occupational programs to more than 8,000 students. Also located in the area is Anoka-Ramsey Community College. The Andover City Council and the school district have reached an agreement on the location ofa new elementary school. The site contains between 20-30 acres and is located on Hanson Boulevard about one mile north of the Hills of Bunker Lake. It will contain 28 classrooms and is being built with the intent of being converted to a middle school in the future. At present the plans are for the school to open in the fall of 1988. The City Council, Park Commission and Athletic Association are in the process of developing a master plan for future City development requirements and an athletic complex that will coordinate with the school district needs on the remaining City owned property adjacent to the school site. This site when completed, should provide a signifi- cant civic and athletic facility for the City. ~
