ACCEPT FEASIBILITY REPORT/ORDER PUBLIC HEARlNG/05-11/TULIP STREET NW
City Engineer Berkowitz explained the City Council is request to accept the feasibility report and
order the public hearing for street improvements for Project OS-II, Tulip Street NW between 161 st
Avenue NW and Valley Drive NW.
Mr. Berkowitz discussed the information with the City Council.
Councilmember Jacobson indicated he has a conflict of interest and will not be voting on it.
Councilmember Orttel wondered if they were going to be ok on the right-of-way and is it priced
properly. Mr. Berkowitz stated they have been in contact with the Dehns regarding the acquisition
and they are in support of the project and he thought they would be able to work it out. He stated the
Dehns understand the City will be working with them and once the project gets started they will be
able to estimate it more accurately.
o
Councilmember Orttel wondered if the amount is accurate. Mr. Berkowitz stated it is not indicated
in the feasibility report and will be brought back to the Council as they move forward.
Councilmember Orttel wondered how much land they are talking about acquiring. Mr. Berkowitz
stated one of the ponds is for the school and then they will need an additional pond on the north
portion of the Dehn's property to handle the drainage on the north side. He stated they have
prescriptive right over the gravel section adjacent to the Dehn's property. He stated what they will
be looking at is what they need to acquire outside of that area.
Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Trude, to approve the resolution accepting the feasibility report and
ordering public hearing for April 4, 2006 on the street improvement for Project OS-II, Tulip Street
NW between I61 st Avenue NW and Valley Drive NW. Motion carried 3 ayes, 1 abstain (Jacobson).

Councilmember Jacobson wondered what the length of the bonds for this project would be. Mr.
Dickinson thought they would be for seven years. Councilmember Jacobson noticed the city's
portion of this for the parks is a little over $800,000 coming out of the park dedication funds. He
wondered what this does for the funds for the park board for the meeting in April because it looks
like it may be taking more than they anticipated. Mr. Dickinson stated they are looking to call for the
sale of bonds at the next meeting in March and they will have the analysis ready then. He stated they
are primarily looking at an annual $SO,OOO amount that is part of the levy, which will be dedicated, if
needed; otherwise they will be utilizing the park dedication within Andover Station North.
Councilmember Jacobson stated he was concerned how they will be paying that back over a seven
year period and what that does to what the Park Commission has left over to do other things. Mr.
Dickinson indicated they would have a plan for that.
Councilmember Orttel wondered ifit will be essentially self contained. Mr. Dickinson indicated that
was correct.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Orrtel, to accept the feasibility report and order the public hearing
for Woodland Crossings (OS-32), Shaw's Glen (OS-24), Cardinal Ridge (OS-20), adjacent parcels &
Andover Station North Ball Field lmprovements (OS-IS). Motion carried unanimously. (RES.
R034-06)

p.m. Motion carried unanimously.
ADMINISTRATOR REPORT
City Administrator Dickinson updated the Council on significant city department activities,
Legislative topics and miscellaneous projects in the City.
City Engineer Berkowitz updated the Council on road improvements projects in the City.
MAYOR/COUNCIL INPUT
(Legislature Bills) - Councilmember Jacobson wondered if there was a bill number on the bill before
the Legislature regarding the speed zones that they were requesting. Mr. Dickinson thought those
types of bills will not get discussed during this session because it is going to be a short session.
(I'ulip Street and Andover Boulevard Houses) - Councilmember Jacobson wondered how they are
doing on the houses on Tulip Street and Andover Boulevard. Mr. Dickinson stated they are waiting

for.an order from the judge so they can go in and take them down. The comment period is up and
once they get the order they will be good to go. City Attorney Hawkins indicated the hearing dates
on both are coming up soon.
(County Plat Review Plans) - Councilmember Trude asked if the County trying to seek plat review
has been introduced. Councilmember Jacobson stated he received a letter indicating they are not
pushing that this legislative session.
(park Planning) - Councilmember Trude stated when she was reviewing all of the minutes that she
was concerned and as they go to the next Rural Reserve planning session, there is some kind of
assumption that parks should go next to unusable buildable land. She stated there is concern with
Lyme disease and West Nile disease. She indicated people feel safer having their children in parks
where they do not have to worry about these things and she hoped they look at high ground and not
bunching everything up. She also thought there was discussion about having parking along any park
that is along a waterway and she thought that issue got lost and was not in the minutes.
(Secure Mailboxes) - Mayor Gamache stated one of the issues was regarding the mailbox issue and
stolen mail. One of the issues that he discussed with Mr. Dickinson was on Andover spring
recycling day, they have the opportunity to go into a co-sponsorship with Frattalone's Ace Hardware
to have some kind of a program where they could offer a certificate or coupon for people to get a
locked secure mailbox. He thought they could find out what the costs would be and pass it on to the
citizens. He thought it would be an advantage to the City to reduce some crime within the
neighborhoods. Councilmember Trude stated her concern was if this would make it harder on the
mail carriers. Councilmember Orttel stated when they go into the newer neighborhoods, they have a
community centered mailbox and he wondered if something like that would work. The Council
thought it was a good idea to look into this further.
(Community Center Photos) - Mayor Gamache wondered if they could get the pictures that were on
the postcards to display in the Community Center. Mr. Dickinson stated the photos were done by a
professional photographer and are owned by him. He thought they could get some photos from the
architect to display along with the plaque.
(North Metro Mayors Association Update) - Mayor Gamache updated the Council on the North
Metro Mayors' Association meeting regarding the last meeting. He indicated there is a big campaign
to push the eminent domain issue through and the only issue he had is he would hate to see them
move too fast.a
(Champlin City Sales Tax) - Mayor Gamache stated the City of Champlin is looking to push forward
on getting an exemption at the State Legislature for a city sales tax to fund a new city hall.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. The meeting
adjourned at 8:10 p.m.
