WWW.CI.ANDOVER.MN.US January 2, 2007 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Andover 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW Andover, MN 55304 Re: Feasibility Report for Crosstown Boulevard & Crane Street Intersection Improvements (C.P.06-37) Dear Mayor and City Council: With your authorization, we are pleased to submit this feasibility report for addressing the potential for street improvements for the 161'1 Avenue (CSAH 20) & Crane Street Intersection. The improvements are required by the Anoka County Highway Department as part of the White Pine Wilderness plat and to serve future plats adjacent to this development. Anoka County approved the plat in 2006 with the understanding that these intersection improvements would be constructed in the spring of 2007. The proposed improvements consist of the construction of left and right turn lanes into the White Pine Wilderness plat and a westbound left turn lane south onto Crane Street. An eastbound right turn lane onto Crane Street is not required by Anoka County and will not be constructed as part of this project. The total estimated cost of the improvements is $272,911.22. This estimated cost includes construction costs, contingencies, and City expenses (engineering, administration, fiscal, and legal). The project costs associated with the turn lane and intersection improvements will be financed through the City's Road and Bridge Fund and assessed to the benefiting properties (White Pine Wilderness and three undeveloped parcels adjacent to White Pine Wilderness). We recommend that the City Council review this report, and if acceptable, proceed with project . implementation as proposed. Sincerely, City of Andover Engineering Department Q~0. David D.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposed project consists of the construction of left and right turn lanes on 161s1 Avenue (CSAH 20) into White Pine Wilderness and an eastbound left turn lane onto Crane Street. These intersection improvements are required by the Anoka County Highway Department as a condition of the plat approval for White Pine Wilderness. The estimated costs for the proposed improvements that would be assessed to the developer of White Pine Wilderness and to three undeveloped parcels adjacent to White Pine Wilderness, including construction costs, engineering, and City expenses is $272,911.22. The total cost to the City for this project is $0.00. The project is feasible from an engineering standpoint and the turn lane improvements are necessary to comply with Anoka County Highway Department requirements for approval of the White Pine Wilderness plat and to serve future developable parcels adjacent to the White Pine Wilderness plat. Exhibit 1 in the appendix depicts the location of the proposed project. II. INTRODUCTION AND INITIATION OF REPORT The Andover City Council authorized this Feasibility Report on November 8, 2006. The improvements would serve White Pine Wilderness and three undeveloped parcels that could be developed in the future north of 161st Avenue between Hanson Boulevard and Birch Point Estates. The undeveloped parcel east of White Pine Wilderness includes Outlot A from White Pine Wilderness and a parcel referred to as White Pine Wilderness 2nd Addition. The developer of White Pine Wilderness also owns the White Pine Wilderness 2nd Addition parcel. The undeveloped parcels being assessed as a part of this project are within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and the intersection at Crane Street is the only access point that would be allowed by Anoka County to access these areas. 1 c ~ ~ ~ ~ m m m ~ ~ ~ C C ~ ~ C C C ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I III. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS Improvements at the intersection of 1618t Avenue and Crane Street will include left and right turn lanes into White Pine Wilderness and an eastbound left turn lane onto Crane Street. Through lane tapers will be constructed to accommodate the turn lane improvements. The eastbound left turn lane and westbound right turn would be 12' wide and 300' long and have 15: 1 tapers. The eastbound left turn lane would be 100' long as approved by the Anoka. County Highway Department and also have 15: 1 tapers. The through lane tapers would be 55:1 (speed:1). The geometries for the improvements have been approved by the Anoka County Highway Department. The pavement section for the turn lanes and associated widening will comply with Anoka County Highway Department requirements, which is 1.5-inches of bituminous wearing course, 1.5-inches of bituminous binder, and 2.0-inches of bituminous base course over 6- inches of Class 5 aggregate base. Exhibit 2 in the Appendix depicts the Anoka County Highway Department requirements for geometries and pavement section for this type of improvement project. There are two options for construction of the intersection improvements. The first option is to complete all of the pavement widening to the north of the existing roadway centerline and the second option would include pavement widening on both the north and south sides of 1618t Avenue. Both options will likely require significant excavation in the northeast and potentially the northwest quadrants of 1618t Avenue and Crane Street. The desirable option from a County perspective will likely include construction of ditches along the entire corridor, eliminating the need for concrete curb and gutter and storm sewer. This report assumes that all widening will be accomplished on the north side of 1618t Avenue. The final option will not be determined until staff submits a preliminary design to the Anoka County Highway Department for review and comment. The final option will need to comply with Anoka County Highway Department design standards, particularly relating to geometries, clear zones, drainage requirements, and slopes. The drainage flow paths will perpetuate existing conditions. In general the storm water runoff flows east and west from Crane Street via existing bituminous curb and roadside ditches and discharges into existing lowland areas. 2 Areas disturbed by construction of the public improvements will be seeded, fertilized, and mulched to provide temporary and permanent vegetation for erosion control. A layout for widening along the north side of 161 sl Avenue is included in the Appendix as Exhibit 3. IV. RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND EASEMENTS The work will be completed within the existing right of way for 161 sl Avenue. Some grading may be required within the White Pine Wilderness plat to eliminate the need for a retaining wall in the northeast quadrant of 161s1 Avenue and Crane Street. V. MAINTENANCE IMPACTS No unusual maintenance concerns are anticipated due to the proposed improvements. VI. PERMITS The following permits are required: 1. Coon Creek Watershed District (south of 161s1 Avenue) and/or Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization (north of 161st Avenue) for grading and erosion control. 2. Anoka County Highway Departmenffor work within their highway right-of-way. 3. Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for NPDES Storm Water Permit. VII. ESTIMATED PROJECT COST The total estimated project cost, including construction costs, contingencies, and City costs is $272,911.22. These costs are based upon the roadway widening being accomplished on the north side of 161 sl Avenue. These costs may be revised once staff receives feedback from the Anoka County Highway Department regarding widening on just the north or both the north and south sides of 161st Avenue. Cost savings may be possible if Anoka County allows widening on both sides of 161st Avenue. The decision regarding which direction to widen will depend upon several geometric and design standard issues, avoidance of wetland fill, and the need for relocation of private utilities. Again, this will be explored with the County during final design. 3 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ m ~ m ~ c ~ ~ ~ I ~ ~ ~ ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I A detailed estimate of construction costs is included in the Appendix as Exhibit 4. The costs quoted herein are estimates only and not guaranteed prices. Final contracts will be awarded on a unit price basis. The contractor will be paid only for work completed under . the construction contract. The costs are estimated based on recent construction costs. VIII. FINANCING OF IMPROVEMENTS The project costs associated with the turn lane and intersection improvements will be financed through the City's Road and Bridge Fund, which will be reimbursed through assessments to the developer of White Pine Wilderness and three undeveloped parcels adjacent to White Pine Wilderness (White Pine Wilderness 2nd Addition and two parcels west of White Pine Wilderness). IX. PROJECT ASSESSMENTS The intersection improvements will be assessed based upon a per unit basis to White Pine Wilderness, White Pine Wilderness 2nd Addition, and the two undeveloped parcels west of White Pine Wildemess. White Pine Wilderness 2nd Addition and the undeveloped parcels to the westwill benefit from the intersection improvements because it is the only access location the Anoka County Highway Department will allow to these parcels once they are platted. The assessments are proposed to be divided on a per unit basis based upon the total number of lots in White Pine Wilderness and the projected number of lots in White Pine Wilderness 2nd Addition and the two undeveloped parcels to the west. The owner of White Pine Wilderness 2nd Addition is the same developer who completed White Pine Wilderness. The owners of the two undeveloped parcels west of White Pine Wilderness have been involved in the ghost platting process. The ghost plat will be used to determine the projected number of assessable lots for these parcels. An exhibit showing the number of parcels being assessed with the ghost platting is included in the Appendix as Exhibit 5. The following table depicts the number of lots used in the assessment calculations, and the estimated total assessment for each area. 4 Area Lots Estimated Estimated Total Assessment/Lot . Assessment White Pine Wilderness 15 $3,638.82 $ 54,582.30 Outlot A of White Pine Wilderness & 45 $3,638.82 $163,746.90 (PIN 14-32-24-24-0002) 1487 161s1 Avenue 10 $3,638.82 $ 36,388.20 (PIN 14-32-24-23-0004) 16157 Hanson Boulevard 5 $3,638.82 $ 18,194.10 (PIN 14-32-24-23-0006) Regardless of the ultimate total number of lots created in the undeveloped parcels, the number of lots shown in the above table shall be used to determine the actual total assessment once the final project costs have been determined.

Respectfully submitted, tLt-. ()d Vicki V olk City Clerk CD o o o ANDOVER CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP - NOVEMBER 28,2006 MINUTES The Workshop of the Andover City Council was called to order by Mayor Mike Gamache, November 28, 2006, 6:01p.m., at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota. Councilmembers present: Councilmember absent: Also present: Don Jacobson, Mike Knight, Ken Orttel, Julie Trude None City Administrator Jim Dickinson; City Engineer Dave Berkowitz; Community Development Director Will Neumeister; Natural Resources Technician Kameron Kytonen; Others DISEASED TREE ENFORCEMENT POLICY Natural Resources Technician Kytonen presented the draft policy on diseased tree removal. Councilmember Jacobson stated one of his concerns is going onto private property. Natural Resources Technician Kytonen responded he is working on this issue and has spoken with other Cities regarding their policies. The other Cities have not had any issues with going on private property to remove diseased trees. Councilmember Knight expressed concern that the cost of removing trees could exceed the value of the property. He also noted he is concerned about a person cutting the trees at the wrong time and the disease spreading to a neighboring property. A lot of the problems are that there was a lot of development over the past years and the contractors did not care when the trees were cut down. City Engineer Berkowitz noted there is also the possibility of obtaining loggers to purchase the wood so instead of paying to have the trees removed the loggers would pay the homeowner to remove the trees. Councilmember Knight noted there is nothing in the policy to cover the importation of firewood into the City. Natural Resource Technician Kytonen responded that was addressed in the City ordinances. Councilmember Knight asked what happens if a neighboring property is responsible for the spreading of the disease by improper cutting, or not taking care of the diseased trees. Natural Resource Technician Kytonen responded that was what they hoped to accomplish with this policy, but he acknowledged there is no way to prove that neighbor was responsible for the spread of the disease. o Special Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes - November 28, 2006 Page 2 Councilmember Knight noted at some point it is prohibitive to remove the trees due to the cost. Natural Resource Technician Kytonen indicated this policy would eliminate a lot of staff time. Mayor Gamache asked if there are any State programs available that would assistant residents. Natural Resource Technician Kytonen responded there are and the City informed the residents about the programs. Councilmember Jacobson stated they should also reference any State law in the policy. Mayor Gamache requested staff look at the Ham Lake tree preservation policy also. Councilmember Knight stated he is concerned about where to attach the blame for neighboring properties. Natural Resource Technician K ytonen responded they would not place blame; this policy is only to address removing the trees properly. o Councilmember Orttel recommended they have the City Attorney review the policy also. City Engineer Berkowitz responded the City Attorney has the policy and is reviewing it. He noted staff is also working on the penalty portion of the policy. Councilmember Trude suggested they have an exception clause that if the trees do not affect other properties, then nothing needs to be done. Natural Resource Technician Kytonen responded in this instance he would work with the property owners on their alternatives. He noted however even in an isolated environment, the disease could spread. Councilmember Trude recommended removing or revising Buckthorn under the notice. She recommended they come up with language for dealing with large tracts ofland also. WAYSIDE HORNS / RAILROAD QUIET ZONES UPDATE / 06-10 City Engineer Berkowitz stated staff has figured out the location and cost for the wayside horns. The total project cost for Andover Boulevard NW is estimated at $98,500.00 and the total project cost for Crosstown Boulevard NW is estimated at $81,000.00. The funding options include Municipal State Aid funds, City's Road & Bridge fund or Capital Equipment Note. The current 2007-2011 Capital Improvement Plan includes construction of the improvement in 2007. Councilmember Jacobson requested staff also look at adding the Bunker crossing. Councilmember o Orttel noted they have matching funds on the Andover crossing. Councilmember Knight felt they should at least set a date for doing the Bunker crossing. o Special Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes - November 28, 2006 Page 3 Winslow Holasek stated he was in attendance at the wayside horn demonstration and he was not impressed. He did not believe the horn was loud enough and he recommended they spend the money on parks/trails instead. Councihnember Trude asked if the contractor is willing to negotiate on their price. City Engineer Berkowitz responded he would work further on the price with the contractor. REVIEW OF BUILDABILITY REQUIREMENTS Community Development Director Neumeister stated there continues to be a number of problems arising on properties where houses are built close to the back of the required 100- foot buildable area Especially problematic are properties that abut wetlands or storm water ponds. There have also been some questions raised about where the required 16.5 foot buffer area around wetlands and ponds is to be measured from. Changes to three code sections are being suggested to address these problems. City Engineer Berkowitz explained the current requirements and proposed changes. o Councihnember Trude asked if they could have backyards without all of it being buildable. City Engineer Berkowitz responded they could. Mayor Gamache stated if the homes are being built in a residential district, he did not have an issue with less than a 35-foot setback. Councihnember Knight noted they could also design the homes so the deck is on the side of the house. Councihnember Trude asked if they could put five feet on the front and the rest on the back. Councihnember Orttel stated he did not like this idea and his concern is if a wide rambler would be put on the lot. Councihnember Trude believes this needs to be changed. Community Development Director Neumeister stated the items to be discussed are: To identify the problems (decks/houses do not fit); Buildable Lot (116'i'2 feet) (removal of organic was not enough); Additional 16 Y, foot buffer for (ponds/wetlands); Where we measure from for the buffer strips (was not giving enough room). Mayor Gamache asked ifby doing this, would it preclude some homes from being built on the lots. o City Engineer Berkowitz responded it might and they might need to have some exceptions. Community Development Director Neumeister noted this would be a learning process on the builder's part. o o o Special Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes - November 28, 2006 Page 4 Councilmember Knight asked if they wanted to address backyard footage also. Councilmember Trude asked why they have different requirements for homes on a wetland/pond. Councilmember Knight stated unless they have a minimum, the additional backyard being added would be taken by the house, especially once more ramblers are built again. Councilmember Orttel believed they should have to finish the backside of the home and not have deck boards left on. Councilmember Trude asked if they should not allow sliding glass doors if there is not enough room for a deck to be built. Councilmember Jacobson stated the consensus is to allow 60 Yz feet, but if a sliding glass door or French door is built on the back side of the house, a patio or deck must also be built. MARK HEDIN FARM WINERY ISSUES Community Development Director Neumeister stated this issue had come up this week. As the Code is currently written Mr. Hedin cannot get a CUP for a Home Occupation unless he has three acres. . Mr. Hedin has no basis for a variance to the Code. Mr. Hedin is also not doing "Cabinet Making, Woodworking, or Repair Services, or Similar Uses to those stated". He stated what staff believes needs to be changed is City Code Section 12-9 (Home Occupation) which would have to specifically list "farm winery" as a home occupation that is considered a service or the purpose of the home occupation section language would have to be modified to allow a home occupation that is not a service to be considered allowable, either as a permitted or conditional use. He asked if Council would consider allowing staff to write a code amendment report that would be brought forward to a Planning Commission Work Session in January that will highlight what changes would be needed in the Code to allow this to happen on the property. Then it would be brought forward to the Planning Commission for a formal public hearing and then on to the Council in February. Councilmember Orttel did not have a problem with this. He noted this is a hobby and there are more people doing home occupations that the City does not even know about. Councilmember Knight stated he did not have an issue changing this to 2.5 acres, but they would need to limit the accessory buildings. Mayor Gamache stated the change they need is from 3 acres to 2.5 acres. Community Development Director Neumeister stated they would also need to itemize the home occupations allowed. Councilmember Jacobson asked if they were doing this only to assist one resident. Community Development Director Neumeister stated if the Council did not change the Ordinance, the only other option he has is to lease some space somewhere. o o o Special Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes - November 28, 2006 Page 5 Councilmember Trude questioned the other Councilmembers regarding the reasoning behind the 3- acre minnIllun. Discussion indicated that it was related to the fact that 2.5 acre lots were created through subdivision and lot sizes greater than 3 acres would generally be categorized as rural and would not necessarily have an impact on rural residential lots. Councilmember Trude noted Mr. Hedin has won awards for his wine at the State Fair. She asked if this could possibly affect the neighborhood. She believes 1200 bottles is more than a hobby. Councilmember Jacobson stated they have to be careful and asked if they want to have all of these types of home occupations in residential neighborhoods. Councilmember Orttel asked ifbecause this was a farm winery, could the City have the right to deny it if it was a farm use because it is 2.5 acres. Mayor Gamache stated what disturbed a neighborhood more than anything was a daycare and they allow daycares as a home occupation. He did not believe this business would generate a disturbance to the neighborhood. Community Development Director Neumeister stated the Council needs to consider what happens to the property when it is sold. Councilmember Knight asked if they approved this based on a certain gallonage, how would the City monitor this. City Administrator Dickinson responded Mr. Hedin would have to file reports with the Federal and State agencies and the City would request copies of those reports. Councilmember Orttel believes they need to limit the gallonage and if Mr. Hedin started going over what was approved, he could come back to the City. Community Development Director Neumeister stated if Mr. Hedin wants to keep this as a hobby, he could go ahead and do this without having the City get involved, but he wants the City to approve his selling of wine and right now this is not allowed. Councilmember Orttel suggested they have farm as a home occupation. Community Development Director Neumeister responded staff would need to check with the City Attorney with respect to the definition of a farm and if a farm winery fits into an agricultural use. Councilmember Trude and Councilmember Jacobson stated they are in opposition to this Ordinance change. OPEN SPACE REFERENDUM UPDATE Community Development Director Neumeister stated the voters approved the "Preservation of Water, Wildlife, and Natural Habitat Area". He anticipated the City would utilize a number of o o o Special Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes - November 28, 2006 Page 6 resources along the way such as the Trust for Public Land, DNR and the Anoka County Soil and Water Conservation District to prepare for the purchase or preservation process. It is also anticipated that the Council will want to start the process of interviewing individuals to serve on a City of Andover established commission to assist the Council. Councilmember Jacobson suggested they move this item to an early spring workshop meeting. Councilmember Trude recommended they look at Blaine. Mayor Gamache requested staff also look at Woodbury. Mayor Gamache requested staff prepare a timetable with a task list. 2007-2011 CIP UPDATE City Administrator Dickinson stated the only thing that has changed is the parks area. He indicated they have accelerated some of the parks areas. Councilmember Jacobson asked if they could free up some equipment to cover the wayside horn. City Administrator Dickinson responded that is something staff would look at. Councilmember Knight recommended restrooms be added to the park. Councilmember Trude requested staff look into a better audio in the Council Chambers. Mayor Gamache noted he did not believe it was the microphones, but rather the speakers. Councilmember Trude stated they also need new chairs in the Council Chambers. CitY Administrator Dickinson responded that is a done deal because they would use the existing chamber chairs in the conference room. Councilmember Knight asked if they are set on doing the pedestrian tunnel. Mayor Gamache responded a lot of it depends on when they got the purchase. Councilmember Knight expressed concern about safety with a tunnel. City Engineer Berkowitz noted Coon Rapids is putting one in next year and staff could look at what reports they received. Mayor Gamache stated they should move up the Hawk Ridge park improvements. He recommended they keep the parking lot rural with no amenities because it was so far north in the City and the money could be used somewhere else. 2007 BUDGET City Administrator Dickinson noted not much has changed with the proposed 2007 budget. o o o Special Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes - November 28, 2006 Page 7 OTHER BUSINESS ITEMS A. Stenquist Addition City Engineer Berkowitz stated they are working with someone in the Stenquist Addition. He stated there was a drainage problem on I 60th Lane which was supposed to be fixed, but wasn't. He noted now an individual wants to do a lot split and staff is working with them on acquiring pond easement and a cul-de-sac turnaround. He indicated this individual wants to go through the lot split process to eventually build a home. The City would build a cul~de-sac and the pond and this individual does not want any future assessments because his home would not front any improvement. Councilmember Orttel stated he did not believe they would assess him anyway because his portion of the road would be the cul-de-sac. . City Engineer Berkowitz stated this individual noted the City would get land in exchange and the drainage problem would get fixed. Motion by Knight, Seconded by Orttel, to adjourn to executive session for the City Administrator Review. Motion carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 8:55 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Kathy Altman, Recording Secretary o o o 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 MINUTES ...................................................................................................... 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 154th 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.

Motion carried unanimously. RECEIVE ANOKA COUNTY SHERIFF DEPARTMENT MONTHLY REPORT Captain Dave Jenkins, Anoka County Sheriff's Department, provided an update on law enforcement activities occurring within Andover. o 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 comer 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 staff report 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. o 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. o 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 documents 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. o 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. Neumeister 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 minimum requirements for the fire suppression system being placed in the building and a certain minimum 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. Neumeister stated based on the prayer room, the maximum occupancy would be 300 people. He o 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 o o o 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 defmed 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 o o o 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 of items would be in the dumpsters and would any of it 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 has 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 minllnal 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 mormng. 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 every1;hingto 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 Plannirig Commission wanted them to put up o o o 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 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 o 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 arel;l. Councilmember Trude stated what concerns her is there could be hazardous materials that are dumped in the roll off's. Mayor Gamache stated in the current resolution, he would like to see the hours be modified, especially in the morning. He was not sure 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 [md a more suitable place for this business in Andover if possible, such as Hughs Industrial Park. o Motion carried 4 ayes, I nay (Orttel). . CONSIDER CITY CODE AMENDMENT/DELETING 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 l2-l4-6-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 l2-l4-6-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. o Councilmember Orttel 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 thissection 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. o o o 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 staffwould 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 zomng. 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 o o o 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 $10 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. Councilmember Jacobson stated the second comment is on page 14, "Water Sprinkling Violations". Staff crossed opt 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. o o o Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - December 19, 2006 Page 11 Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to adopt the attached Fee Ordinance for 2007 effective January 1,2007 and the summary of the ordinance for publication.

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 o o o 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.

Proposed improvements are identified and described in the report. The total estimated construction cost is $217,977.00 and the total estimated project cost (including a 20% contingency and indirect cost) is $272,911.22. The Anoka County Highway Department (ACHD) requires safety improvements on county roads that access new developments. The first phase of White Pine Wilderness development has been platted and the street and utility work is complete. As part of the county permit, the developer was allowed to proceed with the street and utility project with the understanding that the county intersection project would be constructed in the spring/summer of 2007. The City Council agreed to pursue this project as a public improvement (City Council Workshop June 27, 2006) and assess the project costs to the White Pine Wilderness developments and the properties to the east of the first phase of the new development. The proposed assessments are based on a per unit cost ($3,638.82) and are as follow: Larry Emmerich, 15 units (White Pine Wilderness Plat) Larry Emmerich, 45 units (White Pine Wilderness 2nd Add. Plat) Steve & Cheryl Olmscheid, 10 units (1487 - l6lst Avenue NW) Keith & Rhonda Rischer, 5 units (16157 Hanson Boulevard NW) $ 54,582.30 $163,746.90 $ 36,388.20 $ 18,194.10 o Staff met with all three parties to discuss the feasibility report. Letters from the Olmscheid's and Rischer's are attached. o o o Mayor and Council Members January 2, 2007 Page 2 of2 The public hearing will be scheduled for February 6,2007 at 7:00 p.m. during the regular scheduled City Council meeting.

CITY OF ANDOVER ATTEST: Michael R. Gamache - Mayor o Victoria Volk - City Clerk o December 26, 2006 To: City of Andover Mayor and Council Members Re: Intersection Improvements at 161 st Ave & Crane Street Project #06-37 From: Steve and Cheryl Olmscheid Homeowners at 1487 _161st Ave NW; Andover On December 11, 2006, at the request of David Berkowitz, Andover City Engineer, we met with and were informed by him of pending improvements to the above named intersection with a possible assessment to us in excess of $36,000.00. o We were quite surprised by this as we have not collaborated with the developer on his project and therefore do not feel responsible for decisions he made and agreed upon to further his project along. We strongly disagree with the developers attempt to pass these costs on to us as an individual homeowner, since his corporation is the only one benefiting from this development. We are not developing our small parcel at this time and do not know ifit is even feasible for us to do so at a future date. The City Council approved the Developers Preliminary Plat with the conditions that "the developer shall be responsible for improvements to the intersection of 161 st Avenue NW and proposed Crane Street NW as required by the Anoka County Highway Department and the Andover Engineering Department" o We are not interested in and have not looked at the costs for developing our land such as tree removal, fill, location of our house, perc tests, etc. Our land is quite low and would need a substantial amount offill to be the same grade as the development. We do not even know ifit is a fact that we could support 10 lots as the ghost plat indicates. We are o not a corporation and cannot afford to be taxed $36,000.00 for something we may not be involved in. It was the Developers decision to proceed ahead now and he agreed with all necessary improvements required by the City and County. Because we decided not to proceed at this time, the Developer had the freedom to design the development to his full advantage and therefore accepted responsibility of the costs involved. You are proceeding ahead making a variety of assumptions which are not true. You are assummg: 1. That we plan to develop our property and 2. That the ghost plat indicating 10 lots for our property is correct o First and foremost, we have no plans underway for development of our property. Secondly, we have not gathered any information as required by city standards, such as soil borings or wetland delineations to determine what the soil conditions would allow for buildable lots. To make a decision imposing any assessment to us based on these speculations, rather than known facts, would be totally unfair, placing a large burden upon us. As homeowners in the City of Andover for the past 28 years, we would like to continue living in our home, however will be forced to sell when we had no intention of doing so if such an assessment is attached to our property. Respectfully, o o o o December 27,2006 To the honorable Mayor of Andover and City Council: . Regarding the Feasibility Report: 161st Avenue & Crane Street Intersection Improvements-City Project #06-37 As the homeowner of 16157 Hanson Blvd. NW, one of the properties named in this feasibility report, I am writing this letter to communicate my concerns about the proposed assessments contained in this feasibility report. My biggest concern about taking responsibility for the proposed assessment of $3638.82 per lot or a total assessment of $18,194.10 is that I may never choose or be able to develop our property as indicated on the preliminary ghost plat that this assessment is based upon. As you can see on the map of the other properties involved in this proposed development, our .. property is the furthest west and buffered by the property owned by Steve Olmscheid at 1487 161st Avenue. The significance of our location is that we are completely dependant on what this property owner does before we could have the option to develop even if we wanted to. He has indicated that he may not choose to develop in the future and keep his property inta.ct. If this scenario were to play out we would be assessed for something that would never benefit us. Because of the limitations of our home location and power line easement on Hanson Blvd. we have the option of developing only four additional lots for a 6.22 acre parcel. Because of the significant costs that go into developing raw land, we are unable to spread these costs over a large amount of parcels. For a property of our size and the small number of lots we would be able to develop, this makes aggressive pursuit of development in the future unlikely. We have been interested in the past to split off a 2 Y:z acre parcel, but because we are in the MUSA boundary this has not been possible. Larry Emmerich is the property owner that has been aggressively pursuing development of his property which contains the vast majority of lots that can be developed. He is the owner who has taken responsibility to initiate the needed improvements to be able to develop. He has indicated in the past a willingness to . assume responsibility for the cost of any public improvements. He has 60 lots that he is able to develop and has already begun to do so. The other 15 lots that are represented o o o December 27, 2006 by our property and 1487 16151 Avenue represent only 20% of the total for this proposed development and may never be developed in the future. We have not sought out the option of developing our property, but because of our proximity to Emmerich's property and being within the MUSA, we have kept this option open. We have made significant remodeling improvements to our home and polebarn in the last two years and have made our acreage a motocross track for our son. Development would cause clear cutting of the majority of our beautiful oak forest. Therefore, development is an unattractive option and we have no plans at this time to develop our property. Because of the uncertainty and unlikelihood that we would choose to develop our property, I am strongly opposed to sharing any responsibility for the assessment of this improvement. If by the slight chance development was feasible and possible in the future, I am not opposed to paying directly to Larry Emmerich our share per lot of this improvement IF that time may come. But to be assessed this amount when there are so many variables that will impact our ability and desire to develop is extremely premature and should not be assumed. It was this assumption by the city council that we would be able or want to aggressively pursue development that led to the passing of this motion that would assess the proportionate cost of this improvement to myself and Steve Olmscheid. Because Larry Emmerich is the property owner who wants to aggressively develop his property and the other lots on the ghost plats may never be developed, it is only proper, prudent, and appropriate that he take full responsibility for this improvement at this time. To assess a homeowner who may never choose or be able to benefit from this improvement is irresponsible and should never even be considered.

WWW.CI.ANDOVER.MN.US TO: Mayor and Councilmembers FROM: Jim Dickinson, City Administrator SUBJECT: Approve Sale of Tax Forfeit Parcel DATE: January 2,2007 INTRODUCTION At the October 24, 2006 Anoka County Board meeting, the Board of Commissioners approved the conveyance of tax forfeited land to the City of Andover. The conveyance as approved for PIN# 23-32-24343-0073 was for unrestricted use. The Andover City Council approved the conveyance at the November 8, 2006 meeting. DISCUSSION You may recall from previous weekly Administrative Updates and at the November 81h meeting, that City Staff has been working with the Anoka County Property Records and Taxation department to resolve an issue of a fragmented parcel that went tax forfeit, this is that parcel. The fragmented parcel should have actually been attached to another parcel after an administrative lot split years back. To correct the problem, the County Board had to act upon the forfeited parcel and then convey the parcel to the City. Once the parcel is in the City's name, the City could then facilitate the original intent (attach the parcel to an existing parcel) and get this parcel on the tax roll. The County has obtained and recorded the deed from the State of Minnesota and after the action taken by the City Council on November 81h the County has conveyed the parcel to the City. ACTION REOUESTED Approve the sale and authorize the City Attorney to prepare a purchase agreement to convey the parcel (PIN# 23-32-24-43-0073) to the adjacent property owner (Jim and Deborah Shepard) in the amount of $1.00. o Attachments Page 1 oC e Welcamcu. tbc web_of bolla County ~ Property Account Summary Current General Information property ID 26-32-24-43-0073 Situs Address UNASSIGNED SITUS, ANDOVER, MN 00000-0000 THAT PRT OF LOT 17 BLK 1 WEYBRIDGE 2ND ADD LYG SLY OF FOL DESC UNE, COM AT MOST SELY COR OF SD LOT 17, property Description TH N 1 DEG 02 MIN 10 SECE ALG E UNE OF SO ADD 77.84 FTTO POB OF SD UNE, TH N 88 DEG 57 MIN 50 SEC W 90.47 FT TO E UNE OF LOT 18 SD BLK 1 &.

Attachments Resolution Council Minutes Location Map o CITY OF ANDOVER COUNTY OF ANOKA STATE OF MINNESOTA RES. NO. R A RESOLUTION DENYING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR OUTDOOR STORAGE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 13533 JAY STREET NW LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS: THE WEST 272.84 FEET OF LOT 13, WATTS GARDEN ACRES, ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE REGISTRAR OF TITLES OF ANOKA COUNTY, MINNESOTA, AS MEASURED AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE WEST LINE THEREOF. SUBJECT TO THE RIGHT-OF-WAY OF COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD OVER THAT PART THEREOF LYING WITHIN PARCEL 4, CITY OF ANDOVER HIGHWAY RIGHT-OF-WAY PLAT NO. 1. WHEREAS, Tony Nitti has requested approval of a conditional use permit for outdoor storage on the subject property, and; WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the request based on City Code 12-14-6 and the established criteria for granting conditional use permits; and WHEREAS, the applicant has requested a variance to City Code l2-13-9E.5. which requires a e ten foot setback for parking areas and all other uses from side and rear property lines; and WHEREAS, the City Council determined that the proposed conditional use permit would cause a detrimental impact to the surrounding area and finds the following: I. The proposed use is not compatible with the adjacent residential neighborhood. 2. The proposed overnight storage of waste material on the site is a potential fire hazard not condoned by the Fire Chief. 3. There is no feasible way to limit the type of material discarded in the containers and as a result, no feasible way to limit the type of material that would be stored on the site. 4. . The proposed hours of operation are not compatible with the adjacent residential neighborhood and would have a negative effect on the property values and general welfare of the occupants of surrounding lands. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Andover has received the recommendation of the Planning Commission and denies the conditional use permit application for outdoor storage based on the findings listed above. Adopted by the City Council of the City of Andover on this _ day of ,2006. CITY OF ANDOVER o ATTEST: Michael R. Gamache, Mayor Victoria V olk, City Clerk -2-.- o o o 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 defmed 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. CouncilmeriJ.ber Orttel assumed there are a lot more roll offs than trucks. Mr. Tony Nitti indicated o 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 of items would be in the dumpsters and would any of it 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 has 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. o 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 mommg. 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. o 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 o o o 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. CounciImember Jacobson asked if the roll offs could not be dumped in the evening, why could they not leave the dumpsters on the 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 o 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 sure 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. o Motion carried 4 ayes, I nay (Orttel). CONSIDER CITY CODE AMENDMENT/DELETING 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 l2-14-6-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 fmdings based on standards. Code Section l2-l4-6-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 CUP's. o Councilmember Orttel stated the problem is with the Code as it takes a longtime 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 was the wording that they have in the existing ordinance. Councilmember Jacobson agreed and asked if staff could look at the phrasing in what 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. 5'\NDbVE~ Incorporated J ':j~ T.; s!" g 14011 ! ~ ~'\~ ~ " 4001 -r g .2 13 ~ _ ,.. i\l139"1~~~ I') 11f,;;; ~.l rl1:I'l' ~ - (\I ~.,..Lb ~ I- 13910. ~~ H~, ~ ;':?~...J~~ " 9 il 'J- iTJ~L.ilL "'IITHAVi 7, " " ~ N 391 >--;f- ___ _ l~ ~ " --j -L-- __ -"""" "'~1", ~ 100fJSO" ~~ 1 :;83 :~~~~ t::G845 385t388~' ~6'.J1;w 381 19 ~Ii~ ~E E 5 ~ ~ !? 8 ~ ~k~ ~ - N N ..L:..:...( S! glli~ WN N Nc'ilIN ...~,,~ , 1375376 ~ ~fO l"l tE IZ 0 094 ...

Will Neumeister, Community Developme - irector (l/~ -'> CC: FROM: Courtney Bednarz, City Plann~ SUBJECT: Discuss 2007 CDBG Application - Planning DATE: January 2,2006 INTRODUCTION Staff has received additional information from Anoka County concerning the potential applications discussed by the Council at the December 19th meeting. It is important to note that funding is limited and the application process is very competitive, even among well-established programs that serve extremely low income families and individuals throughout Anoka County. o DISCUSSION Based on input from the county, the following paragraphs summarize how the city's applications in these areas may fare. Rental Rehabilitation This existing program has a good chance of receiving additional funding. The program can be expanded to include owner occupied housing rehabilitation provided all participants can meet the applicable low to moderate income requirements. Private accessibility issues can be addressed through this program as well. Public accessibility projects (i.e. trails and sidewalks) is a low priority for Anoka County and will likely not be funded. Senior Coordinator This type of application would compete against other public service programs such as Meals on Wheels and senior transportation programs. A new program will cost more to administer than would be funded by Anoka County in the unlikely event that it would be funded at all. Each participant would need to be over 62 years of age or every participant's income would need to be tracked to ensure that at least 51 % of participants would meet the low to moderate income requirements. Additionally, this program would take funds away from other well-established and utilized programs that provide services throughout Anoka County. Our own Senior Center volunteers and the YMCA at the Community Center already perform some of these services to seniors in our community. o Planning Anoka County plans to utilize the limited planning dollars available through CDBG for their own needs. An application from Andover for planning dollars will likely not be funded. o o o CommerciaIlIndustrial Slum and Blight Anoka County indicated that there could potentially be some CDBG dollars available for this type ofproject. However, staff feels there is not currently a project in the city that could utilize these dollars. Additionally, it is staffs experience that the limited amount of funding that could be obtained would be expended satisfying the CDBG program requirements. ACTION REOUESTED Please approve or modify and approve the attached resolution authorizing the selected CDBG application(s). Applications must be submitted to Anoka County by Januarv 8,2007.
