Motion carried unanimously. RECEWE ANOKA COUNTY SHERIFF DEPARTMENT MONTHLYREPORT Captain Dave Jenkins, Anoka County Sheriff s Department, provided an update on law enforcement activities occurring within Andover. Councilmember Jacobson stated they approved the budget for next year and in the budget is a new deputy. He asked for more information on this. Captain Jenkins indicated starting July 1,2007, the City of Andover has elected to increase their patroL He explained the details of the new position. CONSIDER CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT/CHURCH/475 ANDOVER BOULEVARD Community Development Director Neumeister explained Sambulsa of Minnesota, Inc. has applied for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a Buddhist Temple on a residential property at the northeast corner of the intersection of Andover Boulevard and Prairie Road NW. Churches are conditional uses in residential zoning districts. The City Council is asked to determine whether this use is appropriate and/or needs to be modified to prevent adverse impact upon surrounding properties. Mr. Neumeister discussed the staffreport with the City Council. Councilmember Knight stated his concern regarding the shared driveway. Mayor Gamache asked if this is one shared driveway or a couple of them. Mr. Neumeister explained that the driveway is shared by two properties. Mr. Jack Prescott stated they are thinking about running the driveway from Prairie Road and having the parking lot on that side to alleviate any traffic problems. Councilmember Jacobson stated the house to the east has an existing driveway onto Andover Boulevard and there is also a gravel driveway that is shared by that property and this property. He wondered if that property has a right to that gravel driveway and exit which is on this property. Mr. Prescott stated he must have some rights but he has not researched that. Mr. Berkowitz stated the gravel driveway loops through and connects both properties. The Commercial Site Plan needs to be reviewed to see if there are any rights on that. If there are not, the City would propose to sever that contact. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - December 19, 2006 Page 4 Councilmember Jacobson stated in the Resolution, Item five says, "If the City Engineer requires a traffic impact study". He wondered if they are going to require one. Mr. Berkowitz thought they should leave it in until they have a better idea through the Commercial Site Plan of the amount of impact. They would like to have the option of requiring the traffic impact study. Councilmember Jacobson stated in the Resolution, the first item says that it must be constructed to the specifications on the docwnents dated November 7, 2006. He would like to add a couple words "or as modified or required by the Andover Building Department". Councilmember Trude stated as she looks at this site and area, she knows there is going to be a lot of housing going in to the south and they will have an extension of sewer and water and a lot of churches have asked for it. She wondered if there is a possibility of extending this because it could address the fire suppression and other issues they may have. She thought this could be something they could examine. Mr. Berkowitz stated right now sewer and water is a ways away and would require a substantial infrastructure improvement to get it to this property. Councilmember Trude stated there are a lot of churches in Andover located on busy roads and if they look at the density of housing south of the creek, a lot of those people are heading north on Prairie Road on a Sunday morning to go to several churches. It may be better to just leave the driveway at Andover because east/west traffic is minimal on Sundays. She stated there is more traffic on Prairie Road on Sundays than on other days. Councilmember Orttel asked what the limiting factor is on the size of a church. Mr. Newneister stated the code analysis is part of the building permit and there will be a code analysis prepared by an architect showing what the occupant load will be on the building. The size of the prayer room and the social meeting room will probably dictate that there will be certain minimwn requirements for the fire suppression system being placed in the building and a certain minimwn size parking lot will be required. At this point they are not focusing on historical need, which is very limited. As the need grows, they will have to expand the parking lot. Councilmember Orttel wondered if there will be anyone living in the house. Mr. Prescott stated there will be a nun living in the house. He stated they are a Korean church and most of the people are Korean. Most of the older members are Korean War brides and they are not getting anymore of those. He stated the young people are not staying, so he figured they would be getting smaller rather than larger. Councilmember Orttel indicated it is not necessarily this church they are concerned about but rather the changing of hands to another church, which may grow and be larger. Mr. Newneister stated based on the prayer room, the maximwn occupancy would be 300 people. He thought there is also a coverage requirement. Councilmember Jacobson stated the parking lot is designed to be on the east side of the house and he wondered if they should put the parking lot in the back and drive in from Prairie Road. He also stated that some of the things they are going to have to do are not cheap, such as a fire suppression Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - December 19, 2006 Page 5 system and enlarging the septic system. He wondered if they really looked at the costs. Councilmember Orttel wondered if the pole barn will stay. Mr. Neumeister indicated it would. Councilmember Jacobson wondered if the Highway Department will require some funds for an intersection update. Mr. Berkowitz did not think they would based on the size. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to approve the Conditional Use Permit with the following changes: in the first Now Therefore be it Resolved, after November 7,2006, insert "or as modified or required by the Andover Building Department". Also adding a new Condition 6 in the supplemental staff report "The off street parking that is provided is the minimum necessary based on what the representative of the Sambosa Buddhist Temple has represented as needed at this time. Should there be an expansion of the members that regularly attend the City shall require the parking be expanded to meet the peak parking needs". Ms. Carol Hofstad, 684 Andover Boulevard NW, stated this area is all residential and there is a concern of the neighborhood that this is going commercial. She did not think this was conducive to the neighborhood to make this commercial because of the traffic. She thought the neighborhood should have a little more input. Councilmember Trude stated in the City Code, schools and churches have to be in residential areas and do not have to apply for a zoning change. They have to treat them as if this is their appropriate setting. They could not go in a commercial area of the City unless they change the zoning. Motion carried unanimously. (RES. R153-06) CONSIDER CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT/OUTDOOR STORAGE/13533 JAY STREET Community Development Director Neumeister stated the applicant is seeking to use the site for storage of dumpsters and concrete equipment and materials as described in the letter. Outdoor storage is a conditional use in the Industrial Zoning District. Mr. Neumeister discussed the staff report with the CounciL Councilmember Jacobson stated this is an ordinance change for outdoor storage and he wondered if this would transfer to any other company that came in at any other date. City Attorney Hawkins stated it would, but they could limit this to certain types of outside storage. Councilmember Trude stated if a truck came into a parking lot with items in the back of the truck, would this be considered outside storage. Councilmember Knight asked what defined a roll off. Councilmember Orttel stated it would be a dumpster. City Attorney Hawkins indicated they would need to look at the definition of outside storage. Councilmember Orttel assumed there are a lot more roll offs than trucks. Mr. Tony Nitti indicated Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - December 19, 2006 Page 6 they would be storing more empty roll offs than trucks. The concern is coming back with them at night after the dumps are closed. He indicated they would be tarped. Councilmember Trude wondered what types ofitems would be in the dumpsters and would any ofit be hazardous. Mr. Nitti stated they do not handle hazardous materials. Most of the items are from remodels and people cleaning out their homes. He cannot guarantee what will be on the trucks and he does go by what people tell him. Councilmember Jacobson asked what they would expect to see from the concrete business. Mr. Neil Misdale stated they do concrete cutting. They do not bring any debris back and all he bas is equipment that will be stored in the building. Councilmember Jacobson wondered if they will be able to get all of the equipment along with full roll offs in the building if needed. Mr. Misdale stated there will be enough room for everything. Mr. Nitti stated the issue is the Fire Marshal does not want the materials stored inside because of a fire hazard. He stated this is the issue. Councilmember Trude stated she is concerned about noises from dropping the roll offs onto the ground from the truck. Mr. Nitti stated the trucks have hydraulics and there should be minimal noise, if any. He stated if this is an issue with the Fire Department, they could drop off the roll off and park the truck inside otherwise they would leave the roll off on the truck to be dumped in the morning. Councilmember Jacobson asked if Mr. Nitti planned to have two locations or were they going to move everything to Andover. Mr. Nitti indicated they would be moving everything to Andover. Mayor Gamache thanked Fire Chief Winkel for his report and asked him to review what is in the report. Fire Chief Winkel gave the Council a brief summary of his report. Councilmember Trude wondered if the Fire Chief would still have issues with this if there was a condition put on the permit that they could not store the dumpsters in the building. Fire Chief Winkel stated this would lessen their concern, but they may want to identify where they will park the roll offs on the site. They would not want them too close to the building. He would not have too many problems with them being outside, but they would want to secure them from the outside. Councilmember Knight asked if Fire Chief Winkel would draw up a list of items that concern him. Fire Chief Winkel stated the main concern would be the best place to put them outside and they could work this out with the applicant. Councilmember Knight stated he has another concern because this is adjacent to a major retail property in their city. If there is a huge fence put around this he thought it would become detrimental to the retail around it. He wondered if this is the place for it given what they want in the area. Fire Chief Winkel noted there is a fence along the property already and he did not think they would need to do anything more significant. Mr. Nitti indicated the Planning Commission wanted them to put up Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - December 19, 2006 Page 7 an eight-foot wooden fence with landscaping to make it look nicer. Councilmember Jacobson stated there are some residents across the street from this and they have some letters from some of the neighbors expressing their concern about this business starting at 5 :00 a.m. He wondered about the importance of the start time. Mr. Nitti stated they usually start at 6:00 a.m. but he thought the start time was essential to his business. He noted they will be leaving the area on Jay Street toward Bunker Lake Boulevard and will not go by the residential homes. He did not think there would be a huge noise problem. Councilmember Jacobson asked if the roll offs could not be dumped in the evening, why could they not leave the dumpsters on the remote site and pick them up to dump them in the morning. Mr. Nitti stated some of the sites need the dumpsters taken off the property in the evening. Mr. Neumeister explained where the dumpsters will be located on the property. Councilmember Trude wondered if there is the possibility of sorting the dumpsters. Mr. Nitti stated they do not sort it at their place; it is done at the local dump. Mr. Misdale stated they need to start their business early in the morning and his trucks are normal one-ton pick up trucks. Councilmember Trude stated she is concerned with the noise and hours. She would like staff to review this to see if there were more conditions needed for approval. Mayor Gamache wondered what the hours of operation are. Mr. Nitti stated it would be Monday through Fridays and Saturdays in the summer. Mayor Gamache wondered if the vehicles will be stored, started and warmed up in the garages. Mr. Nitti indicated they would. Mayor Gamache asked if there will be vehicle maintenance done onsite. Mr. Nitti stated some will be done onsite but it will be in the garage. Councilmember Jacobson stated he did not really like the idea because there are residents there and the starting time of 5:00 a.m. is very early. He thought the chain link fence with the slats is not adequate. A big factor in his decision is that this does not fit the area because they would like this area in the future to become more retail in nature. He stated this CUP does not tie the use down. Mr. Nitti stated the only thing he can say about the start and stop time is that Kottke's bus service starts around the same time and the buses are very noisy. Councilmember Knight agreed with Councilmember Jacobson because he thought it was a step backward in the time and money they have spent in this area to get the auto junkyards out and retail in. Mayor Gamache stated the concern he has is the noise. He likes the idea of a fence and landscaping around it but it is next to an area that they have spent a lot of money fixing up. Councilmember Trude stated she has a list of concerns and if they want to put them into the CUP as conditions, she did not know if the applicant would want to do business in Andover. Her concern is what would be in the roll offs on site. She did not know if they could control all of the issues. She thinks there is a Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - December 19, 2006 Page 8 need for this type of a business and thinks it would grow. Mr. Neumeister thought this type of business would work well in an industrial park but the concern staffhas is with this being next to a residential and retail area. Councilmember Trude stated what concerns her is there could be hazardous materials that are dumped in the roll offs. Mayor Gamache stated in the current resolution, he would like to see the hours be modified, especially in the morning. He was not stire if this is the best area for this type of business. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to direct staff to draft a resolution to deny this based on their discussions and concerns expressed by the Council and bring it back to the next City Council meeting for Council consideration. Councilmember Trude stated she would like to have staff work with the applicant to find a more suitable place for this business in Andover if possible, such as Hughs Industrial Park. Motion carried 4 ayes, 1 nay (Ortlel). CONSIDER CITY CODE AMENDMENTIDELETING CODE SECTION 12-14-6A.5 Community Development Director Neumeister explained that based on direction from the October 17, 2006 Council meeting, the Council is asked to discuss the deletion of Code Section 12-14-6-A -5, which allows certain Conditional Uses to be located in zoning districts where they are otherwise prohibited. City Attorney Hawkins stated the Council needs to make findings based on standards. Code Section 12-14-6-A-5 talks about the things they are to consider but when they look at this kind of catch all, it just says they may under some circumstances allow this. He thought there was not anything there for them to consider and questioned how they would deny. He thought the way it is worded now is too vague. They would have difficulty in approving and denying CUPs. Councilmember Ortlel stated the problem is with the Code as it takes a long time to get something changed such as the dry cleaner that wanted to come into Andover and it took months for it to be approved and by then most businesses would be gone. He stated they will not wait around for that process and he had to agree with the Planning Commission that there should be something like a variance. He thought the problem is the wording that they have in the existing ordinance. Councilmember Jacobson agreed and asked if staff could look at the phrasing they currently have and then staff, along with the attorney, develop some criteria that would be suitable under this section if they were to go ahead and do something. He thought staff could bring this back within a reasonable time frame with the changes for them to review. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - December 19, 2006 Page 9 Councilmember Trude thought they could still run into the problem with zoning restrictions. Councilmember Jacobson thought this would be an issue that staff would need to review. City Attorney Hawkins stated the problem he sees is that it states "suitable" and they need something that could explain why something is denied. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, to send this item back to staff and the City Attorney to look at rewording this particular paragraph in the ordinance and after rewording, to develop criteria that the attorney and staff feel would be workable. Then it could be brought back for Council consideration within a reasonable time. Councilmember Trude thought this is worth looking at but she wanted to make sure this still respects zonmg. Motion carried unanimously. DISCUSS 2007 CDBG APPLICATION Community Development Director Neumeister stated the 2007 Community Development Block Grant funding cycle is underway. Attachment A illustrates the types of projects that are eligible. Attachment B illustrates the projects that were funded in 2006. Mr. NeUmeister reviewed the projects with the CounciL Councilmember Trude stated one of the categories has to do with accessibility improvements. She noticed in their community that there are times that a family has to improve the accessibility of their home because of injuries and she wondered if they could put this on the list as "Homeowner Accessibility Improvements." She would like to see this being a grant or maybe a revolving loan program. City Administrator Dickinson stated the one organization that does provide that type of service and tends to be the benefactor of the funds through the County is Anoka County Community Action Program. They are also the ones that would provide gap financing. Councilmember Trude wondered if they could set this up as some type of revolving loan program. Councilmember Trude stated there is one agency to work with, Senior Outreach, but she did not know if they could communicate with these people and see if they could have a Senior Part Time Coordinator at their Senior Center. This person could set up activities for the seniors in their community. She thought if they got the funds, they would hire someone and they would start advertising programs. Mayor Gamache wondered if staff knows anything about Coon Rapids' "City Wide Home Rehab" program that they received $237,000 for. Mr. Neumeister stated they run their own housing rehab program there. Mr. Dickinson stated they are actually on their own so they do not participate as part of the Community Development Block Grant Program sponsored through Anoka County. They are Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - December 19, 2006 Page 10 large enough to qualify on their own. Mr. Neumeister stated Mr. Berkowitz suggested considering ramped sidewalk and trail connections at intersections because that is something over the last three years that they have been trying to get. Councilmember Orttel thought that sounded like something that would be very possible. Councilmember Orttel thought they could also look at requesting money for overpasses on busy roads. He stated these would be big projects where the City would need to contribute but he thought it would be worth it. Councilmember Trude wondered if they are thinking about the Rural Reserve Sewer System Study because that is not on there. Mr. Neumeister stated in their report it indicates they discussed with the County if they would support a more comprehensive plan and that they would be doing some planning in the Rural Reserve as part of the comprehensive plan. He did not believe they would fund them again on this round. Councilmember Orttel thought that was passed through to the developers . anyway. Councilmember Orttel thought they should table this to allow staff to research the costs for a Senior Outreach Coordinator and prepare letters of support for Youth First, ACCAP and Meals on Wheels. Mr. Dickinson indicated the Council would like to add to the application Accessibility Issues, potentially a Senior Outreach Program, the Truncated Dome, Ramp Sidewalks and the Rental Rehab. He thought the Council should limit this to two and it should be discussed at the January meeting. Councilmember Trude stated Alexandra House did not have a letter of support in the packet and she wondered if they need a letter. Councilmember Orttel thought they were pretty solid with the County and always received the funding so he did not think they need a letter. ADOPT 2007 FEE ORDINANCE City Administrator Dickinson stated each year staff reviews the fees that are charged for various permits, licenses, service charges and other items and recommends changes to certain fees. Councilmember Jacobson stated he has two comments on this. Page six, two thirds of the way down under the Individual Service Work in the Right -of- Way. This has gone from $1 0 per service to $500 annual fee. He would like to see this be $500 annual fee or $10 per service. The reason for that is that the homeowner may want to do something in the Right-of-Way and they should not charge the homeowner $500 to do one or two simple jobs. Councilmember Trude thought that sounded reasonable.d Councilmember Jacobson stated the second comment is on page 14, "Water Sprinkling Violations". Staff crossed out under the first penalty a warning and wanted to impose a $50 fee right away. He thought they should still give a warning for the first violation. Councilmember Trude agreed. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - December 19, 2006 Page 11 Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to adopt the Fee Ordinance for 2007 as amended effective January 1,2007 and the summary of the ordinance for publication. City Administrator Dickinson summarized the reason they proposed the change to the violations. Motion carried unanimously. (Ordinance No. 337) SCHEDULE EDA MEETING Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to schedule an EDA meeting on January 2, 2007 at 6:00 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. SCHEDULE JANUARY COUNCIL WORKSHOP Motion by Knight, Seconded by Trude, schedule a Council Workshop for January 23,2007 at 6:00 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. ADMINISTRATOR REPORT City Administrator Dickinson updated the Council on Administrative and City Department activities, meeting reminders, Christmas and New Years Day Holidays, City Office hours reminders and miscellaneous projects. City Engineer Berkowitz updated the Council on Road Improvements Projects in the City. Community Development Director Neumeister updated the Council on development activity in the City. MAYOR/COUNCIL INPUT (Holiday Wishes) - Councilmember Jacobson wished everyone a Merry Christmas. Councilmember Knight seconded that and hoped everyone will be responsible and drive carefully. (Weekly City Department Report) - Councilmember Knight wondered if the report they receive every week could be cut back because there is a lot of wasted time and he wondered if this could be done more efficiently. Mr. Dickinson stated they could condense this down by Department to send out to the Council. Councilmember Orttel stated the Council would like to know more on certain Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - December 19, 2006 Page 12 Departments. (Election Report) - Mayor Gamache stated for those people on the ballot for this year's elections and the last report they had to fill out, he did not understand why it was done in this manner. Councilmember Jacobson stated he talked to the City Clerk and found out this is only for people who spend more than $750 a year or who have not filed a final report. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 9:21 p.m. Respectfully submitted., Susan Osbeck, Recording Secretary Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - December 19, 2006 Page 13 REGULAR ANDOVER CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - DECEMBER 19, 2006 TABLE OF CONTENTS PLEDGE OF ALLEGIENCE..................................................................................................... 1 RESIDENT FORUM ................................................................................................................. 1 AGENDA APPROV AL............................................................................................................. 1 APPROVAL OF MIN1JTES...................................................................................................... 1 CONSENT ITEMS Approve Payment of Claims ................................................................................................2 Resolution R146-06 accepting Feasibility Report/Order Public Hearing/07-2/2007 Overlays .................................. .... ........... ...... .................. .......... .... ....................... ............ 2 Approve Joint Powers Agreement/05-34 (Bluebird St. NW & Hanson Blvd. NW)/ 05-42 (Community Center Right Turn Lane) & 05-35 (Traffic Signal at 1 54th Ave NW & Hanson Blvd NW ................................................................................................2 Approve Joint Powers Agreement/03-31/EVP Systems (Hanson Blvd. & Bunker Lake Blvd., Round Lake Blvd. & Bunker Lake Blvd., CSAH 7 & Bunker Lake Blvd.)......... 2 Approve 2007 Licenses........................................................................................................ 2 Resolution R147-06 adopting Resolution/City of Andover 2007 Budget & Certify 2007 Property Tax Levy ..........................................................................................................2 Resolution R148-06 approving Resolution/2007 Debt Service Levy Changes................... 2 Approve Cost of Living Adjustment for Non-Represented Employees (RES.
