It should be noted that where people with specific qualifications mentioned in section 112.44 cannot be obtained, the Board of Managers of the Coon Creek Watershed District will ask the city councils and staff of the cities within the district to recommend qualified persons fot' those positic.ns. MINNESOTA STATUTES SECTION 112.44 ADVISORY COMMITTEE o The managers, upon qualifying, shall appoint an advisory committee of at least five members. They must be selected if practicable as follows: a supervisor of a soil and water conservation district; a member of a county board; a member of a sporting organization; and a member of a farm organization. Others may be appointed at the discretion of the managers. The appointees must be residents of the district and serve at the pleasure of the managers. The committee shall advise and assist the managers upon all matters affecting the interests of the district and make recommendations to the managers upon all contemplated projects and works of improvement in the district. The managers may also appoint other interested and technical persons who mayor may not reside in the district to serve at the pleasure of the managers. Each member of the advisory committee, in the discretion of the managers, is 'entitled to reimbursement for actual traveling and other expenses necessarily inc~lt't'ed in the performar.ce clf duties as prc.vided for state employees. o DUTIES (As defined by the Coon Creek Watershed Board of Managers) The advisory committee shall elect a chairman, who will call such meetings of the advisory committee as he or she deems necessary in order to assist the Board of Managers as described in Minnesota , Statutes section 112.44.

Access to the county highway is generally allowed to remain until such time as a change occurs which permits closure, o In the specific instance of Lot 1, Block 1, woodridge Acres, a variance to the setback was requested and was acceptable to the County for construction of a garage, (Letter to Dave Almgren, April 15, 1980). This letter indicating no objection to the variance also stated that it was expected that the driveway to the county highway would be removed at the time of the garage construction, The driveway was not removed and therefore when the reconstruction plan for the highway was drawn, it was mistakenly left inplace and was perpetuated in the new construction, We did not recall the variance and therefore did not catch the error in our review of the plan. At this time, the county's preference is that the driveway be removed as originally expected, However, in the interest of not expending any more funds on this problem, we will consent to the driveway remaining as constructed, It should be fully understood that should this particular section of highway need to be re-worked in the future for any reason, including work done by the utility companies, the driveway would be replaced with a standard barrier curb section. o Affirmative Action I Equal Opportunity Employer o -2- If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, sincerely, , ."-;" '.0 ~r-. ....

The standard residential driveway width is set at 16 feet. We allow driveways of up to 20 feet in width where the existing driveway was at least this wide or wider and generally this is allowed only where it is the primary access to the pr~perty. Commercial driveways are a maximum of 32 feet in width. Driveways may be wider once inside the property line, dependent upon what the city allows. Driveways should not be built with the intent of parking within the county highway right-of-way. Sufficient area outside the right-of-way should be available and used for parking purposes. As I stated, this area can be as wide as the city allows. . I have attached a copy of pur standard driveway apron for your information. As you are aware, it is Anoka County's policy to prohibit access to the county highway when a city street exists wherever possible. This is a requirement on all new platting and we make an effort to close all those existing driveways which are not an absolute necessity for access to the property.

GENEREUX Page Two o o . . DRAtl 4.1 IMPACTS OF LANDFILL DEVELOPMENT ON NEARBY REAL ESTATE VALUES The Anoka County Socio-Economic EIS Scoping Decision called for a detailed approach on the possible effects of landfills on residential pr6perty values, to be followed by analysis of collected data, 1. Research Objectives Researchers recognize that landowners have general concerns about the effects that a major change in land use may have on the value of existing or anticipated land use near the proposed development site, In related landfill policy studies, Genereux et al. (1985, 1984) have shown that property owners in the vicinity of proposed development sites admit that they do not "adapt well to change of any kind", Nonetheless, specific concerns have been raised about the probable impacts of landfill development on property values and the likelihood that individuals would wish to live or build near an, operating site, f'1',.....',!1 <r,t c'fr.-p) Most owners of properties in the vicinity of proposed landfill sites have speculated that site development will negatively affect their investments, They anticipate the effects will be both immediate and long-term, I mmediate effects are expected to include depressed values caused by association, This theory, generally cites a landfill as a Ilbad element in the neighborhoodll which taints the worth of any property associated with it, In the long-term, landowners expect to suffer losses caused by events yet unknown, I n this theory, landowners anticipate operational malfunctions at the landfill or failures in regulation which would have direct consequences for neighbors, It is expected that these costs will be real; i.e" cost of new wells, They will also be of a general environmental nature,' and cannot be calculated in advance, Still these costs' must be factored into estimates of future property values, Landowners with title to properties located within one-quarter mile of potential landfill sites in Andover, Coon Rapids, Oak Grove and Ramsey were interviewed: as part of this EIS process in 1987, Property value was addressed in several questionnaire items, Thirty-eight persons responded to questions: 18 in the Ramsey area; 14 in the Oak Grove area; and 6 in the Andover area, All properties owned by respondents were located in ~he vicinity of once-active, or still active (Ramsey) municipal landfills, See Table 1 for a description of these landfills, In interviews of landowners near the Ramsey County landfills, at least four-fifths of these respondents in each. survey area predicted that the building of a proposed. 'landfill would have a negative affect on the value of 'land they owned nearby, Between one-third and one-half of .- o ~ =' en '- ,g "0 Q) - C,) .!!!

About 10% of these landowners had actually put their properties on the market in each area, Would-be sellers in the Oak Grove (35%) and Ramsey areas (57%) reported that knowledge about a proposed landfill nearby had frustrated their efforts to find buyers. Sellers also reported that the proposal had caused developers to shy away from developing projects on their land (especially in the Oak Grove area), A related survey was done in 1987 among owners of developable property within H miles of each ,site, "Developable property" was defined as parcels of 10 acres or more, Less than 50% of these properties in any of the study areas included homesteads, Owners, however, indicated their intentions to build homes on lands they owned -- especially in Ramsey (81%) and Oak Grove (75%), Home building featured in the plans of 37% of the respondents in the Andover area, The median values of these holdings, according to respondents, were $70,000 in Ramsey, $85,000 in Oak Grove and $102,000 in Andover, Respondents in each study area expected that landfill development would depress the values of their properties: 15% in the Oak Grove sample: 16% in the Andover sample: and 24% in the Ramsey sample, Some respondents indicated that the presence of active landfills in the areas had influenced the prices that they themselves paid for their own properties (17% in Andover; 19% in Oak Grove; 37% in Ramsey), One:"third to one-half of those interviewed in each site area had seen no evidence that proximity to a landfill had affected the prices they paid for their lands, It is interesting to note that, while 15-24% of owners of devolopable land in each study area believe that site development will result in lowered real estate values, just about 70% of those interviewed in each area had not heard about the proposed landfill sites before they were interviewed for this EIS, Decision-makers, like property owners, wish to determine the likely effects of landfill development on nearby property values in order to evaluate optional policies related to compensation, There have been policy discussions to date in Minnesota, but these have not been based on quantitative primary data, Decision-makers also wished, in this EIS, to) learn whether probable impacts on real estate values could be distinguished between the three proposed landfill site areas so that this information could be used as one variable in the site selection process, 3 o o '. The objective of research conducted for this EIS was to develop a data base which would serve as a foundation for analysis, decision-making, and long-term policy options. More particularly, research was intended to: a) Determine causes for any change in property value in residential real estate; b) Provide site specific analyses which would reveal the likelihood that causes for change in property values would occur in one or another or none of the proposed landfill site areas, 2. Study Methods A review of the literature on the relationships between landfill development/operation and changes in nearby property values revealed that: 1. One published study included a Minnesota landfill site in Anoka County; another included a landfill site in Hennepin County. Neither found statistically significant differences ~ v 's in property values, \,.Jo>..l v\.a 2. At least two research methods in other studies have been used to measure the causes for changes in property and housing values. One has done so in a statistically significant manner, 3, Both research methods could be adapted for use in this EIS, 4, Any analysis of potential changes in land value must be made with consideration for other research findings reported in this EIS (e,g,' analyses of land use; city development plans; plans made by property owners), Two established research methods were adopted and modified for use in this EIS, One is commonly called the Model of Hedonic Value Theory, The other is the Sale-Resale Theory, These are detailed below, Three other methods were available from the literature but were not used in this study, The first was the simple band or zone method which uses the average . price of houses in concentric zones around landfills (}.--1! miles per zone) ~ Zone is the sole independent variable in determining the price 4 " o changes, is: Thus the change in value caused by proximity to a landfill Percent price change = Average price in zone _ Average price in zone far from landfill near landfill Average price in zone far from landfill The problem with this method is that it does not account for differences in the characteristics of the houses sold, For example, if mostly smaller houses near the landfill were sold, it would exaggerate the effect. If houses further from the landfill had a style less in demand, it would underestimate the effect. The second method not used was the comparative neighborhood method, In this method, the average price of houses sold in whole neighborhoods near the landfill were examined and compared to whole neighborhoods 2 or more miles away, The problem here is similar to that above , except it is compounded by the lack of discrete distance measurements, The third method is the appraiser-based method, In this method, the appraised price of the property by the County Assessor is used instead of sales data, This allows evaluation of properties for which recent sales data is not available, Peer reviewers were unanimous in not wanting to rely on assessor estimates unless sufficient data from other sources was unavailable, Since adequate sample sizes from ali but Oak Grove were available, this method was not employed, Once it was determined that these methods would be used in research, a panel of Peer Reviewers were assembled to review methods, confirm the validity of proposed modifications to research methods, and comment on progress and findings, Panel members were selected by research consultants conducting the study, They conferred by letter and were paid for their independent review, The following published scientists were on the Peer Review Panel: . Joseph Havilecek, Ph,D" Economics, Ohio State University, Dr, Havilecek pioneered landfill-based property value impact research in the early 1970's with a study of five landfills in Indiana, . J, Walter Dr, Milon's of property Milon, Ph, D., Economics, expertise for this project is value data, University of Florida, in statistical manipulation o . Arthur C, Nelson, Ph,D" Land Use Planning, Georgia University 5 o of Technology, Dr, Nelson's expertise for this project is in recent work on hedonic modeling in semi-rural areas, . William Rabiega, Ph.D., Urban Planning, University of Oregon. Dr, Rabiega's property value work has been in urbanized areas, a. The Model of Hedonic Value Theory The Model of Hedonic Value Theory is a research tool used to assign dollar weights to a number of variables which have positive and negative effects on property value as expressed in sale price. In results, the variables are referred to as amenities (positive factors) and disamenities (negative factors), I n the model, values for each variable are compared to . the price at which the property sold to determine the significance each factor had in calculating the final price, Three concepts are important to an understanding of data interpretation in, using the Hedonic Model, . The concepts are taken from statistics and are not inherent to the Hedonic Model: . Si.gnificance (the likelihood a result does not oc,cur by chance); . Beta weight (the size of the effect of a given independent variable on price); . R2 (the amount of total variance in prices between houses explained by the v(lriables), When the researchers construct the Hedonic Value Model, a list of variables which may have an effect on price of a residential property is assembled, As research progresses, it may become apparent that some variables are more important than others in determining sale price; some may not be important at all, The variables which are determined to be important are those which have statistical significance, In an Hedonic Model, one is interested in relationships between phenomena, One hopes to establish a relationship between housing features and price, If the relationship is strong, it is significant. It is significant because it does not occur by chance, In statistics, significance of a relationship between two variables (e,g, a number of square feet in a house and sale price) is measured on a numerical scale of ,00 to 1,00, The value is expressed as p=X, The closer the value is to .00, the greater the significance, This means the more likely the change in price occurs because of the variable, not because of chance, Variables with a significance value of (p=,OS or less) are considered to be significant and statistically reliable, Price is determined to be a function of the o ,housing variables which show this level of significance, 6 o The method used to determine the actual relationship between variables and price is called regression analysis, Multiple regression analysis is used to sort a large number of possible variables into an order according to statistical significance and importance, I n this research, multiple regression analysis was performed to sort the relationships between 15 housing variables and sale price for 1812 homes within five miles of three landfill sites (Anoka Regional Sanitary Landfill in Ramsey, Waste Disposal Engineering in Andover and Oak Grove Landfill in Oak Grove) in Anoka County, Each landfill was considered separately, One can readily imagine a situation in which several housing variables could be found to influence significantly the sale price of a house, If one wished to know the marginal difference in price that could be attributed to each significant variable, one must calculate the Beta weight for each variable, The Beta weight is expressed as (B=$x) and shows the dollar value added or subtracted from price by a unit change (+/- 1) in a significant variable. For example, let us assume that the number of square feet in a house had a significant affect on the final price, Beta weights will tell us the change in price that is achieved if one changes the number of sq'2are feet, In this example, Jet us2further assume the Beta weight for. ft is 20. If one house has 100 ft more than an otherwise simila2 house, ~ should be worth $2000 more, The calculation is simply $20/ft x 100 ft = $2,000, . The purpose of analytical methods like the Model of Hedonic Value is to isolate characteristics (variables) which can serve as reliable indicators of some phenomenon (in this case, price of a house), It is assumed that significant variables account for differences in price, It is further assumed that marginal differences in price can be attributed to degrees of change in significant variables, o Many variables used in previous Hedonic model studies have been used to test differences in housing prices in a variety of geographic locations, Sometimes, however, researchers add variables to the conventional model which they feel may be important when they wish to measure the impact of certain forces on value -- like the building of a landfill, for example, Once researcherd habr assembled a list of possible variables to measure and has considered the significance of these variables in determining variations in housing price, they will want to know if the variables he has c~osen are the right ones, The statistical test for this is expressed as (R ), The R2 value shows the percent of variance in price which can be explained by all the independent variables in the model, taken together, In a reliable Hedonic Model, one would want to know that the variables one has selected to study, lumped together, could explain as much of 7 o the variance in housing price as possible. In research conducted for this EIS, an Hedonic Model was designed to include 15 variables. Eleven of these variables have been used in published studies; four others were added by the researchers: Tree Cover, Viewhouse, Viewroad, and Zone, Tree cover was added following discussions with realtors in Anoka County, They felt it was an important factor. Viewhouse and viewroad were used to provide aesthetic variables, Viewroad was used because the likelihood that suburban dwellers would make many trips, Being thus subject at lest daily to the view might have an impact on price whether or not the landfill could be seen from the house and yard, The variable zone was added in case effects might occur in quasi-neighborhood bands around landfills separately from distance alone, A list of variables used in the Hedonic Model and their definitions for this EIS is shown in Table 2, A description of housing styles examined is shown in Figure 1, Most variables are common to hedonic property value analysis, Those created specifically for this research are so indicated, Several previous studies were important in the detailed r t:::.t:r i:Icn design, Li and Braun (1980) used the model of Hedonic Value Theory to determine the effect of housing structure, neighborhood characteristics, accessibility, aesthetics and the availability of public services on housing value, They were able, by this method, to explain about 80% of the variance in property values in the city of Boston, Li and Braun (1980) isolated two factors which significantly affected the sale price of houses in their sample: ambient noise levels; and the . on-site, visual quality of the homes, Aesthetic quality was ranked on a scale of 0 to 5, where (5) was positive, A score of (5) resulted in a premium of $2,520 in sale price over properties 'with a score of (1), By contrast, a doubling in a negative score for nOtse pollution resulted in a price loss of $460, Hedonic Value Models were used, by Adlen et al. (1982), to measure the effects of waste disposal sites on nearby property values in New Jersey and Minnesota, The study was sponsored by the U ,5, Environmental Protection Agency, Homeowners near the New Jersey site were aware of the contamination and concerned about it, Distance from the contaminated site in Pleasant Plains, New Jersey was found to be important in determining property value, Effects could be attributed to contamination up to a distance of 2,25 miles from the site, Discounts of $1500 were noted at a distance of 1.75 miles: losses of $5400 at a distance of ,25 miles, In doing the studies the authors reviewed pre-contamination and post-contamination ,) '\.il. ~,) o 8 Lble 2 : Characteristics of Homes and Environment Studied in the Anon Hedonic Model of Value: Deimitions and Assumptions, o udy ariable ode) Definition Data Source this EIS )NE (Z.

The R values ranged from .83 to .90. meaning that 83-90% of the variance in prices between homes could be accounted for in the variables used in the model. Adlen et al. (1982). compared findings in their New Jersey study with those in Andover. Minnesota. In this case. homes examined were located between two waste sites. The first was the tire dump and hazardous waste dump area known as the South Andover site. The other was a public landfill with a hazardous waste cell. the Waste Disposal Engineering (WOE) landfill. A sample of 250 homes was studied with no significant'~1\--:---~ results. A trend was established in results. however. which indicated that property values were higher the further one moved from the public landfill. even if that meant one was closer to the tire dump/hazardous waste site. The authors noted that their findings may not have been significant because the sample was small and because little time had elapsed between appearance of contamination and conduct of the study. b. The Sale and Re-sale Model of Comparative Value The sale and re-sale prices of a single house are compared in this study method to estimate the impacts of an external force on property value. The sale/re-sale method of analysis offers a good indication of historical trends in housing price which can contribute to an understanding of conclusions drawn using an Hedonic Model. I n the Hedonic Model. one attempts to isolate factors which affect sale price. In the sale/re-sale method. one can ignore housing and site characteristics and concentrate on a single set of data. The task. is to measure the rate of change in price of a given house as a function of distance from a landfill -- for any or a number of points in time. In this method. one can rely e,ntirely on published. secondary data. The major drawback to this metliod is that it cannot account for shifts up or down in the relative importance of a variable (i.e.. fireplace. number of bathrooms) between the first and second sale. If, for example, fireplaces were more valuable relative to other house attributes at the time of the firstS'are as compared to the second sale, the model cannot readily account for this. Simply put the. model assumes tastes do not change. o Callaway and Price (1986), used this method to estimate the net effects of landfill development on the prices of homes at different distances from the sites. The authors studied monthly variations in price for entire neighborhood units which were considered to be IInear" or IIfar from" landfills. Results were ambiguous. In some cases prices in 14 , o neighborhoods "near" landfills (at a distance of less than one mile) were found to rise more rapidly than prices of homes "far from" landfills (at a distance of more than 2 miles from a site); in others, the reverse was true. Ambiguity may have been a result of small sample size, failure to be precise about definitions of distance from the sites, failure to use smaller units for distance, or the decision made by the authors to consider neighborhoods as units of study instead of houses as units of study. It may have been that the comparative units (neighborhoods) had insufficient similarity and differences were not controlled for in the study. In order to avoid as much as possible the ambiguities of the Callaway and Price results, discrete distances expressed in units of .05 miles rather than neighborhoods are being used. Five zones (o-! miles; !-t mile; t-H miles; H to 3 miles;. 3-5 miles) are also being used. A comparison will then be made of the average price change per month between the first and second sale of the same home. In this EIS research, homes have been identified in the Andover, Oak Grove, and Ramsey site areas which were sold in the period 1980-1986. Previous sales records are being examined for these properties from public files for the period 1975-1987. Comparisons are being made for a sample of 564 homes at varying distances from the proposed landfill sites. This is less than one-third of the overall sales, as shown in Table 3. 3. Research Procedure in the Hedonic Value Approach The procedural steps which are being followed in the development of the residential real estate data base are as follows: 1) Conduct landfill visibility survey for overall areas. 2) Select entries and copy data from MLS sold books. The variables included address/street, month/year, price, age, style, foundation size, fireplaces, and possibly lot size, trees, and additional features. 3) Map properties on county plat maps to determine the following variables: zone, section/quarter-quarter, probable view from house and travel road, travel distances, and lot size. 4) Cross reference data entries to County Property Reports by address. Verify and update (if necessary) PIN number, age, foundation size. o 1S o Table 3: Sample Sizes and Distribution in the Hedonic Sale-resale Model City or Zo~e Hedonic Model Sale-Resale Model Andover Zone1 (0-1/4 mile) 44 17 Zone 2 (1/4-1/2) 48 14 Zone 3 (1/2-1) 42 16 Zone 4 (1-1 112) 86 1 1 Zone 5 (1 1/2-3) 403 66 Oak Grove Zone 1 (0-1/4 mile) 15 1 Zone 2 (1/4 - 112) 21 2 Zone 3 (1/2 - 1) 78 19 Zone 4 (1 - 1 112) 90 24 Zone 5 (1 112 - 3) 224 50 .

Adjust date and price variables, if necessary. Add new data entries, and calculate assessed value/sale price variable. 6) Field survey new data entries from County Assessor's Ratio Reports. Determine style and trees. 7) Research any previous (1975-79) sales records for properties in Minneapolis Board of Realtors' sold book indexes. Record dates and sale prices. 8) Exclude any properties with unusual characteristics such as pool or water frontage. Each of the three Anoka County sites are being analyzed in the same way, using the same data items. It is important to note the differences between them, however. The Andover site and the Oak Grove site, while clearly visible, have been inactive since 1982. Their heights are relatively low, less than 50 feet above the surface. They are covered with a light-colored soil material. The Ramsey landfill, by contrast, is an active landfill, high, and highly visible. During the time these homes were sold, there was concern that these landfills were associated with air pollution. . The second method is to analyze the changes in sa/e/re-sale value, as discussed above. In order to provide a broader basis for analysis, two comparative sites have been chosen. Each has an active or very recently closed landfill. The areas near them are characterized by: a. Extensive suburban housing development since the landfill was established. b. Access to nearby highways. c. Absence of any major industrial land use which might cause data distortion. o The two sites selected are the Flying Cloud Landfill in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and the Mallard Lake Landfill in Bloomingdale Township in suburban Chicago. These sites have been selected out of group of 20 sites identified in the Minneapolis/St. Paul, Chicago/Milwaukee, Detroit,. and Kansas City regions. Sites that were examined but not chosen were because of the following factors: 17 . , o o a. wide variety in the type of housing; b. lack of sufficient housing to generate enough data. c. presence of intervening factors, such as a negative (e.g., industrial), positive (e.g., golf course) or physical barrier (e.g. interstate highway) between the landfill and significant housing sales. d. ease in data collection. A similar method is being used to gather data for the Flying Cloud and the Mallard Lake landfills. However, in both cases data cards are available for each individual nearby property. The procedures are being adjusted to reflect. the presence of the cards. They were: 1) Conduct landfill visibility for overall areas. 2) Use cards for all properties within t mile of the site, and 100 properties for each t mile to 3 miles. Oversampling was done in order to allow for deselection of unusual properties. 3) Field survey for four variables: verify style and. viewroad; identify viewhouse and tree cover. 4) Exclude any property with unusual characteristics, such as bordering industrial land use. It is important to note that Flying Cloud and Mallard Lake, although similar in housing characteristics, differ sharply in view characteristics. Mallard Lake is over 75 feet high and very visible; Flying Cloud landfill cannot be seen even from the nearest adjacent properties. ' 4. Computer Analysis Procedures Data on each property has been entered into computer files and run on the Statistics Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS-) program on the Cyber System at the University of Minnesota Computer Center. A number of different computer runs are being made, including: 1. Regression analysis of ali data for both price and price/ft2 of foundation for using zone, quarter-mile zone, and 1/20 mile intervals as optional distance variables. 2. Regression analysis of all data for each site up to 21 miles only. 18 o 3. Regression analysis (Ramsey only) by house style, by quarter-mile distance. 4. Regression analysis (Ramsey only), excluding fireplace and trees from the variable list. 5. Regression analysis (Ramsey only) with style excluded. 6. Statistics of each major variable, by zone and by quarter-mile distance. 7. Regression analysis of sale/re-sale differences and percent differences. 8. Statistics of sale/re-sale by zone and as a function of distance. o 19 I. , o o DRAFT 5.1 LAND USE ANALYSIS FOR ANOKA COUNTY SITES INTRODUCTION The purpose of this land use analysis is to document the progression of property development surrounding the Oak Grove, Ramsey, and Andover landfill sites over a time period spanning landfill 'operations. This data can then be used to determine whether proximity to landfill operations is associated with differences in overall levels of such development. In general, given public concerns about landfills one could expect a landfill to restrict land use development quite strongly. Significant proportional differences in development could be expected between the zones near the site and those furthest away. Twenty percent differences between near and far zones would likely be necessary to be sure of an effect given the vagaries of land use development. METHODOLOGY Metropolitan Council air photos at 1" = 200" were available for 1970, 1978, and 1984. These appeared to approximate the time sequence envisioned in the study, since they covered the period of activity of these landfills. A land use interpretation of designated categories was estimated. by acres, on a 40 acre (1/4 - 1/4 section) grid for the existing landfills in Ramsey, Andover, and Oak Grove. Each 40 acre area was analyzed for the thirteen separate categories indicated below. The housing units for each grid cell were counted as well. The data was summarized by four concentric bands around each landfill. These are defi ned as follows: Zone 1 - less than 1/4 mile (all adjacent 40 acre grid cells) Zone 2 - t /4 .to t /2 mile Zone 3 - 1/2 to 1 mile Zone 4 - ltott/2mile These bands were chosen following review of previous studies. It was expected that land use would be more subject to impact than property values, since land use changes imply significant one-time investment decisions, compared to the purchase of a single home. For this reason, and budget restraints, the number and extent of zones is thus smaller than for the hedoni.c model analysis. 1 o o " Thirteen separate land use categories were utilized. These included: Residential Strip, which includes housing units along main through roads that are not part of organized subdivisions. These may include isolated homesteads as well as a contiguous linear development of higher density. For most parcels a lot size of 3 acres .was assumed unless otherwise indicated by air photo interpretation or plat maps. Low Density, which are primarily organized or platted subdivisions with local access roads to homes off of main roads. Minimum 2 1/2 acre lot size was estimated unless platting indicated otherwise. Medium Density, which are 1 to 2 1/2 acre lots in subdivisions as well as other parcels in the same lot size range as indicated by plat maps. High Density, defined as lots of less than 1 subdivisions. These may possibly include a few multi-unit housing. acre in cases of I ndustrial/ Commercial Developed Land with permanent structures used for industrial and/or commercial purposes as well as surrounding. .Iand that is used in conjunction with business operations. Non-permanent - Land which is used for industrial/commercial purposes, but without structural improvements (such as gravel pits, storage yards, etc.). Public (Developable) Developed Property in public or quasi-public and/or institutional use, such as improved recreational facilities and grounds, churches, schools. civic buildings. Undeveloped - Public or quasi-public property that is not improved for use, but is potentially developable, such as park reserve property. , Developable Vacant - Any lands not in use, but with projected use or potential development capability. 2 o Agricultural All land In adive agricultural use (i.e. cropland, hay, pasture). Vacant Industrial/Commercial - Any developable vacant land in areas designated for industrial or commercial development. Nondevelopable Vacant All water, development limitations 7 1/2 minute quads, wetlands and land with potential as interpreted from air photos, USGS or other planning constraint maps. Agricultural - Nondevelopable lands utilized for agriculture (i.e. peatland crops). Nondevelopable acreages were held constant in tabulations for the 1970-84' period. The data for each category is summarized for each year by each zone. QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS In order to provide a simple comparative measure between zones for each year, two statistics were generated from this data. The first is the "proportinate development value" (PDV) which is the proportion of the land in each residential, commerciallindustrial, or public zone that has reached a developed use category: By comparing these percentages between zones over time, a fairly clear picture of the overall land use development trends is readily observed. PROPORTIONATE DEVELOPMENT VALUE - DEVELOPED ACRES [DEVELOPED + DEVELOP ABLE ACRES 1 X 100 This method discounts the varying proportions of non-developable land in each zone. It thus does not bias comparative results among zones. A second is the ratios of increase in "percent developed acres" between 1970 and 1978 and between 1978 and 1984 for each zone. These ratios give the speed of development in this time period. These two statistics are found in Table 1-3, which describe the land use by community.

This financing method has become more important to cities in their development and redevelopment since the cuts in federal resources available .to ,help..cities.in these efJ:o.rts. TIF is the one remaining tool that cities can use to encourage local economic development. Also, more city officials recognize the importance of promoting development in their communities than they have in the past. Tax increment is a way of paying for some development or redevelopment costs. The technique pledges a portion of the property tax revenue on the project to pay debt service on bonds issued to finance some of the costs incurred in preparing the site for development or redevelopment. The common expenses financed by TIF are land acquision and write-down, demolition, and construction of public infrastructure. o - more - ~ ~ . Page 2 of 3 o The benefits of TIF can be seen throughout Minnesota. The League of Minnesota cities (LMC) will release a study in January documenting the "success" stories of Minnesota cities using this financing tool. The case studies reveal how the use of tax increment allows communities to redevelop blighted areas, attract new industries to their communities, keep exising businesses, and provide housing for low and moderate income individuals, as well as for the I handicapped and elderly. The case studies reveal how important TIF is to cities. "Cities view tax increment financing as the single most important development tool available to th~m," according to LMC Executive Director Donald A. Slater. By using TIF, cities are increasing their tax and job bases to benefit the entire community. TIF does not change the amount of taxes the developer pays, but rather changes the distribution of these taxes for a limited amount of time. The city, county, and school district do not share the taxes immediately since the taxes usually go to pay development costs. However, the counties and school districts don't lose any funds from using the taxes in this way. Once the bonds have been repaid, taxes on the property are shared with the school district and the county. City officials argue that the taxes from the development wouldn't have been possible in o - more - o o / Page 3 of 3 the first place without the use of TIF. Extending TIF to promote development is not equivalent to offering tax abatement, Slater explained. City officials are against further statewide restrictions on the use of TIFsince they believe assessment of local needs should be done at the local level. It would be difficult for the Legislature to understand each city's individual development and redevelopment needs. Tax increment finance is the cornerstone of redevelopment and economic development programs throughout Minnesota. The Legislature should preserve .TIF....J:ather .than .seeking ways to curtail and limit municipal "TIF authority, .according to Slater. -30- 183 University Ave. E., St. Paul, MN 55101-2526 -- ".-.. ..- For immediate release Monday, November 28, 1988 For more information contact: Laurie Fiori Hacking or Deb Nyberg (612) 227-5600 TAX INCREMENT FINANCING BACKGROUND DEFINITION Tax increment financing (TIF) is a financing technique that allows a city to use the increases in property taxes from a development or redevelopment project to pay for certain costs associated with these activities. Property taxes increase because the value of the project increases as a result of the development or redevelopment. Tax increment is the difference between the assessed valuation and tax revenues a property generates after construction, compared to the difference between assessed valuation and tax revenues before construction. Using or capturing the tax increment on a project to pay development or redevelopment costs is not the same as tax abatement. cities then use or "capture" the tax increment to make payments on the bonds issued to finance a portion of the various development or redevelopment costs. The common expenses financed by TIF are land o - more - o Page 2 of 4 acquistion and write-down, demolition, and construction of public infrastructure. TIF does not change the amount of taxes the developer pays, but it does change the distribution of the taxes for a certain period of time. The city, county, and school district don't share those taxes immediately since the taxes usually go to pay debt service on bonds issued to pay a portion of the development costs. However, all the taxing jurisdictions will benefit through promotion of quality development and enchancement of the property tax base which all taxing jurisdictions Ultimately share. TIF induces new developments that wouldn't have occurred without this financing tool usually because of high:.initial "Costs. AN ILLUSTRATION OF HOW TIF WORKS Consider a property with a dilapidated building that is now producing $2,000 per year in property taxes. The local housing and red velopment authority could acquire the building, clear the land, and resell it for private development for construction of a 25-unit elderly apartment building costing $800,000. It would generate $45,000 in property taxes per year, and there would be a tax increment of $43,000. The city could sell general obligation bonds o - more - o o Page 3 of 4 to get the funds to acquire the property and remove the dilapidated building. After redevelopment, the original $2,000 property taxes would continue to go to the local taxing jurisdictions, but the $43,000 tax increment would go into a special bond redemption fund until the city pays off the.bonds. After repaying the bonds, the entire $45,000 property taxes ($43,000 tax increment plus $2,000 original tax s) would go to all local taxing jurisdictions (city, county, school district), assuming the tax rate remains constant. USES The main purposes of TIF are to attract private investment to: * Redevelop blighted areas * Provide housing for low and modete-income individuals and families * Promote economic development and provide employment opportunities - more - " o o THE BENEFITS with the steady decline in federal assistance available to cities for urban renewal and development, the need for an alternativ financing method was evident. That alternative is TIF. The need for a local redevelopment and development tool also grew in recent years because cities are more active in attracting private development to their communities. There are numerous .TIF success stories. throughout Minnesota where cities, by using this financing method, have attracted businesses, redeveloped blighted areas, or made construction possibl for low-income .housing, .as well as Ior the elderly or handicapped. I The League of Minnesota cities (LMC) will release a study in January telling of how communities have used TIF throughout Minnesota. These case studies show how the entire community (city, county, and school district) benefits from the use of TIF. cities using TIF have experienced growth in their tax base at a rate that is twice as great as cities not using TIF, according to an analysis by the League of Minnesota cities and the Minnesota Chapter of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials. - 30 - t~."'".... . ~ CITY of ANDOVER Regular city Council Meeting - December 6, 1988 Agenda 7:30 P.M. 1.

The policy provides for: Installation Cost; a Decorative Pole (in Andover)- underground system; and light set a maximum of 20 feet from the source of powe r . (Estimated to be $500 {$350 - $550} financed for 5 years at 8.75% interest in 1988.) Monthly Operating Charge Facility fees and energy fees that cover maintenance, depreciation and energy costs. Cost for 1988 facilities charge is $4.70/month 100 WHPS and energy cost is $3.38/month. Also, there will be Andover's cost for billing, computer time, postage and carrying costs. using this information, the estimated cost per lot is $9.75/quarter or $39.00/year based on the City billing quarterly and Anoka Electric billing monthly.

Lights, Informational Hearin 5b. BY: James E. Schrantz The City Council requested that the residents in Woodland Meadows be given the opportunity to discuss the street lighting proposed for their area. Notices were mailed out advising of this item. The estimated cost using the new policy of Anoka Electric and City overhead costs that will be discussed under item 5g is $19.25/quarter or $77.00 per year. The variable is the installation cost which varies depending how far the light is from the power source and how many driveways need to be jacked under. The lights for this plat were ordered before the new policy took effect1 therefore, the City will have to bond for the installation cost which will be very similar to the installation and financing cost through Anoka Electric.

ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT APPROVED FOR AGENDA Discussion Ite ITEM Public Hearing/ NO. No Wake Ordinance 5c. Engineering BY: James E. Schrantz The city Council ordered a hearing on the proposed No Wake Ordinance as proposed by the LRRWMO. The notice was mailed to all property owners along the Andover side of the Rum River. The City of Anoka has held a hearing on the No Wake Ordinance with the property owners having the following concerns: Residents along the river seemed to like the Ordinance and suggested that maybe water skiing should be barred due to safety. Many water skiers are coming too close to shore and to canoes and swimmers. Many others that use the river thought the motor size should be 10 - 15 hp. Ramsey has scheduled a hearing for December 13th at 7:30 P.M. Coon Rapids isn't planning to hold a hearing as they are not on the Rum River. COUNCIL ACTION MOTION BY TO SECOND BY o ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING EROSION CONTROLS AND LIMITING THE SIZE OF MOTORS AND SPEED FOR BOATS.. OPERATING ON THE LOWER RUM RIVER Anoka County does ordain: Section is hereby added to the County I s Code of Ordinances and shall read as follows: Water Craft = Erosion = Lower Rum River Section 1. Purpose. The limi tations contained in this ordinance are designed to prevent and limit the erosion which is occurring to the banks and shoreline of the Lower Rum River. Large motors on boats create wave action which is eroding the shoreline, banks, and bluffs along the river and is adverse to the public I s interest in maintaining and preserving the shoreline. Swimmers, people canoeing, and other people using the river more passively are placed in jeopardy by large boats and wave actions, and this ordinance is designed to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the public. Section 2. Requlations. A. Motor Size. No person shall navigate, place, maintain, or operate any boat, motor boat, or watercraft of any kind upon the Rum River from the Rum River Dam in the City of Anoka to Anoka County Road 7 Bridge Westerly or Rum River Central Park which is propelled by an internal combustion engine having a size and power in eXCeSS of five horsepower. B. Speed Limit. No person shall navigate or operate any boat or watercraft of any kind upon that portion of the Rum River described in A. above at a speed in excess of six land miles per hour. o .' . C. Siqns _ postinq. The Sheriff or County Administrator shall provide for the erection of signs at all public accesses and at other appropriate locations along the Rum River to inform operators of watercraft of the motor size limitation and the speed limitation applicable to this sensitive portion of the river. Operation of watercraft with motors in excess of that allowed by this ordinance or in excess of the speed set forth in paragraph B is prima facie evidence that the watercraft is being operated in violation of this Ordinance. D. o RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION RELATING TO ESTABLISHING EROSION AND SAFETY CONCERNS AND LI~ITING THE SIZE OF MOTORS AND SPEED OF BOATS OPERATING ON THE LOWER RUM RIVER WHEREAS, the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization has been contacted by property owners living on the Lower Rum River who are concerned by erosion of banks and shorelines abutting the River, and WHEREAS, boats using large motors have a negative effect on the safety of people canoeing, swimming, or passively using the River, and WHEREAS, the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization has contacted the County of Anoka which has indicated that the County Board is willing to consider an ordinance limiting the size and/or speed of boats and motors if the County Board knows specifically what the Cities comprising the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization want the County Board to adopt, and WHEREAS, the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization has studied the issue and has recommended to this Council a draft of a model ordinance to be presented to the Anoka County Board for adoption, and WHEREAS, this Council has reviewed the proposed ordinance and the provisions conta~ned therein, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED By the City Council of the City of , as follows: 1. The recommendations of the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization for adoption of an ordinance establishing erosion contrpls and limiting the size of motors and speed of boats operating on a portion of the Lower Rum River is deemed to be in the best interests of the public. 2. The attached proposed ordinance is hereby returned to the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization with any suggested changes and the model ordinance should be sent on to Anoka County for adoption. This City Council ,approves the terms contained therein and agrees with the necessity for adopting such an ordinance. o " o o Honeyw II November 28, 1988 Andover city Hall 1685 NW Crosstown Blvd. Anoka, MN 55303 Attention: victoria Volk Just a note to lend my strong support to the no wake ordinance on the Rum River, from the Anoka Dam to the Country Road 7 Bridge. Unfortunately, my wife Carolyn and I are unable to attend the meeting on December 6 due to a prior conflict but, as residents on the Rum River in the area covered by the subject ordinance, we strongly support this action. The Rum River is, of course, a recreational river and should be kept safe for those using it for tubing, canoes, and so forth. In the interests of safety as well as preservation of the scenic river, this ordinance is in the best interests the community. Clinton O.

ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT APPRO~D FOR AG D \ Discussion Engineering ITEM NQ Street Light Rates 5g. BY: Jame The City Council is requested to approve street light rates as follows: Urban Rural $9.75/qtr. $19.25/qtr. $39.00/yr. $77.00/yr. After 5 years (using 1988 dollars) the estimated cost per lot will be: Urban Rural $4.85/qtr. $9.55/qtr. $19.40/yr. $ 38 . 20 /y r. The cost per lot where the Developer paid the installation costs are as follows: Urban Rural $4.85/qtr. $9.55/qtr. $19.40/yr. $38.20/yr. Background To arrive at the above figures (see attached worksheet) we determined the average # of lots per light of about 20 subdivisions that we have been working on. We also determined the cost per lot and found that the costs were reasonably close for each of the land uses - urban and rural. Using a weighted average the cost per lot was calculated. From that we used $77.00 per year rural and $39.00 per year urban. MOTION BY TO COUNCIL ACTION SECOND BY o o The cost for street light assumes an average installation cost of $500.00 - 5 years at 8.75% interest amortizes out at $10.32 per month; maintenance and depreciation cost of $4.70 per month and energy cost of $3.38 per month; comes to $18.40 per month per light. Example - Urban $18.40/light/mo. ~ 6.6 lot/light X 3 mos./qtr. = $8.36/lot/qtr. $8.36/lot/qtr. + 0.07 postage + 1.00 billing + 0.28 carrying costs = $9.71/qtr. (use $9.75/qtr.) Example - Rural $18.40/light/mo. ~ 3.32/lot/light X 3 mos./qtr. = $16.63/lot/qtr. $16.63/lot/qtr. + 0.21 postage + 2.00 billing + 0.41 carrying costs = $19.25/qtr. (use $19.25/qtr.) **Attached Calculation Sheet NOTE: Andover's street light policy provides for an administrative cost of 1%. .The one percent falls far short as postage is 1% to 2.5% of the cost. Processing the bill I have estimated to be $1.00 urban (where we already bill for water and sewer) and $2.00 in the rural area (where we are creating an account and the entire cost of billing goes to street lights). In addition, we have to pay Anoka Electric monthly and we will bill quarterly so there is a carrying cost. The total that I have listed is about 17%. o ~~"WW I~~, , . . . . n. . . ::r :~~::' I I] I I I :;:-1<::1'00 (1 roJ.

COUNCIL ACTION SECOND BY eMOTION BY j TO (:. r., o ~ ~ ANDOVER REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING.- APRIL 15, 1980 MINUTES The Regular Bi-Monthly Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by Acting Mayor Ken Orttel on April 15, 1980, 7:30 p.m., at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Anoka, Minnesota. Councilmen present: Jacobson, Lachinski, Peach Councilman absent: Windschitl Also present: City Attorney, William G. Hawkins; City Engineer, Mark . Schumacher; Planning & Zoning Chairman, d'Arcy Bosell; City Clerk, P. K. Lindquist; and others o . Resident Forum Michael Me~er, 4488 l45th Lane, Dostaler Hane - showed the Council the material used on the roa s for the lce. He complained that the long thin pieces found are rough on bicycle tires because they are so sharp and penetrate the tires. This is the first year he has lived on tarred streets, but the kids can't ride the bicycles in the spring. He asked if there shouldn't be some specs for the people supplying that material. The Clerk stated this is the same salt cinder always used on the streets. We contract with the City of Anoka to sweep the streets, and they will do it as soon as they are finished with their own streets. Acting Mayor Orttel stated we could check with other cities to see if they too have had problems. Dale Mashuga, 2071 Quinn Drive - has had some misunderstanding with the Building Inspector about bUllding a garage on his lot. Evidently the Inspector was under the impression he could build the garage within 30 feet of County Road 18; but when he came tQ get the permit, the Building Inspector felt that it had to be 50 feet from Crosstown. Mr. Mashuga wondered if he could get a variance to be able. to begin construction on it. He was all ready to begin construction yesterday with help and felt that a 6-week delay to go through the variance procedure through the P & Z would result in a financial hardship. . Acting Mayor Orttel explained that Mr. Mashuga's lot is 120 feet by 128 feet, with the home approximat~ly 44 feet'long. Mr. Mashuga wants to add a two-car garage with an entryway in between, ~hich leaves 30 feet from the Crosstown right of way. The County has 50 feet of:right of way, putting the garage 80 feet off the centerline of the road.. He went on to explain that Ordinance 8 requires 50 feet off any major arterial street; the definition of a major thoroughfare refers to the Comprehensive Plan, and the Comprehensive Plan says the City doesn't have any major arterial streets. However, the definition in Ordinance 10 defines County roads as major arterial streets. The City has received a letter from Paul Ruud of the Anoka County Highway Department which indicates that the County is agreeable to a 30-footsetback from their right of way on Cros-stown Boulevard on this lot. Acting Mayor Orttel felt it is not a major arterial street so it would not have to comply with the 50-foot setback requirement of Ordinance 8, Section 6.02. He felt it was a question of clarification of the road. Councilman Peach questioned if a variance is needed; there is a confusion in the definitions in the ordinances; and the area between Andover Boulevard and Bunker Lake Boulevard is residential with houses within 30 feet of the right of way. He wondered if the City couldn't redefine what is wanted along that road via resolution clarifying its classification. Councilman Jacobson expressed caution should be taken to be sure a precedent isn't being set for all County roads. He didn't have an objection with the 30-foot setback in Mr. Mashuga's case, but felt it should go through the variance procedure going through the P & Z. Council discussion continued as to the confusion in definitions, the reasons for the setbacK requirements, on the suggestion of the Council simply making a clarification of the definition or requiring the normal variance procedure be followed. General consensus of the Council was that the 30-foot setback in Mr. Mashuga's case was agreeable, but there was no agreement on the procedure that shou ld be followed. It was then agreed to wait for the Attorney's presence, so that Mr. Hawkins could give. an opinion on the matter. r: Regular City Council Meeting. April 15, 1980 - Minutes o Page 4 (County Park Plans, - David'Torkildson, Continued) other being from the Coon Rapids Dam to Elm Creek which is a multi-use trail. It is an experiment to see if trails are going to be used that extensively and which kind are necessary. The trail demand has been satisfied by the County at this point by .xhe development of trailways within the Regional Parks. Whether or not the City should preserve some of the creek beds, nobody can answer at this point. That is why the two experimental trails are being developed. They are concentrating on the bike trails strictly for recreatiof}.' within the Regional Parks and within a natural setting as Rice Creek is. The Highway Department is looking ahead to developing .highways for transportation of bicyclists and hikers. Ms. Bosell - The Planning Commission has been given direction by the City and by some of the developers to change or to restrict the use of Round Lake especially to eliminate duck hunting. The Game Warden has indicated they would be violently opposed to eliminating duck hunting on Round Lake. She asked Mr. Torkildson if he had any suggestions as to what the City should do. Mr. Torkildson stated they do not have any authority to prevent discharge of firearms within a municipal ity and that is strictly up to the municipality. The Metro Council is working with the DNR to establish a new public access policy, and obtaining public access to public lakes is just in the planning stage right now. r Lot Split - Esther Olson MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Peach, introducing the Resolution as written here before us with two additions: under the NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the last Resolved, when it says descril;Jed"See Attached Exhibit A", Exhibit A should refer to the letter dated April 9, 1980, from Gerald M. Randall, 211 East Main Street, Anoka, the lawyer, which has the legal description on it; and another RESOLVED should be that $100 in park fees should be paid for the Lot Split. (See Res.olutionR31-80) Motion carried unanimously.. . o Lot Split - L. Johanson, . .Ms. Johanson stated she wouldn't want the split unless she can sell the land. There is no extra building lot being created;' She doesn't want to pay a park fee for land she doesn't sell. Council discussion was on the procedure used to honor Ms. Johanson's request. According to the ordinance, since no new lots are being created, no park fees are required~ The Clerk stated she could withhold the filing of the lots until such time that Ms. Johanson sells the lot or asks the Council to rescind the motion. MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Peach, introduciD9 a Resolution approving a Lot Spllt of Plat 65924, Parcel 3760 as requested by L. Johanson, property owner, the Resolution presented with the deletion of the requirement for the park dedication fee. (See Resolution R32-80) Motion carried unanimously. Mashuga Garage Setback Acting Mayor Orttel reviewed the Council discussion. at the beginning of the meeting relative to the setback requirement for Mr. Mashuga's lot on the corner of Quinn Drive and Crosstown Boulevard. Mr. Mashuga has made an application for a variance from the 50-foot setback; however he was supposed to start construction on the garage yesterday. Attorney Hawkins stated that the definition that would apply is that of Ordinance 10 making this an arterial street; and it was his opinion that Crosstown would fall within the def~nition of a major arterial and the setback would be 50 feet. Because misinforma- tion was given to him by a City official, the City could allow the permit to be issued with the understanding that the variance would be approved. Mr. Mashuga has dealt in good faith and it was simply a misunderstanding. The Council does have the right to waive the provision of having the P & Z act on the variance request prior to it coming :- o o ( (~ Regular City Council Meeting April 15, 1980 - Minutes Page 5 (Mashuga Garage Setback, Continued) .before the Council. Chairman Bose11 objected to waiving that provision, as. she felt it would be setting an undesirable precedent in the City. After further Council discussion, the following motion was made: MOTION by Peach, Seconded by lachinski, to direct the City Clerk to prepare a Resolution approving a variance request for Dale Mashuga noting procedure pursuant to Ordinance 8, Section 5.04 be waived due to misinformation by the City Staff which would create a financial hardship on the property owner and concurs with the opinion of the City Attorney; variance is from Ordinance 8, Section 6.02; also note the letter from the Anoka County Highw~y Department. (See Resolution R33-80) VOTE ON MOTION: YES-lachinski, Ortte1, Peach; NO-Jacobson, as he is not against the variance, but thinks the extra special handling that the Council has just done is not right and that it should go through the regular channels; thinks it is a bad precedent. Motion carried. , Recess at 9:16; reconvene at 9:36 p.m. Feasibility Report- Southwest Area Mr. Schumacher reviewed the TKDA preliminary feasibility report of the proposed southwest utilities improvement project dated April 15, 1980. They have proposed a sanitary sewer collection system, trunk system, costed that out, and related it back to the frontage of the entire project. If individual portions of the project are ordered, the costs will have to be revised. The water system was primarily for the Good Value plat and Larry Carlson's plat; however, Mr. Carlson has indicated he might not want to --participate in a water system. Mr. Schumacher' .:reviewed Page 5 of the summary of the costs and proposed rates of assessment in the area. He has talked with the City of Coon Rapids, which stated they would have some limited water capacity to service a portion of Andover; however, it was not known where their water lines are or how long it would take to bring the lines to the City of Andover. The City of Anoka Council has rejected Andover's request for some cooper~tive water system between the two cities. Mr. Schumacher also stated that in Auditors Sub. 82 there is one first-floor home which would be questionable whether or not it could be served with sanitary sewer by gravity and three basements that would not be served by gravity. The normal alternative is installing a small sump pUlnp in the house that could not be serviced, with such pumps being provided by and costs borne by the project as a whole. Discussion was on a water distribution system for the area, requesting that the cost differential between a central water system and private systems be determined and to find out where the water lines are located in Coon Rapids for the Infornlationa1 Hearing; noted that the Council needs to discuss an assessment policy which is scheduled to be done May 1; that the lines for water would be laid under the same project of the sanitary sewer; questioned whether a cooperative effort for water with the City of Coon Rapids would be feasible because of the time delay in getting the water lines from their location up to Andover plus the costs involved; and noting that the more limited the water system and the less area it services, the more expensive it is going to be. MOTION by lachinski, Seconded by Jacobson, entering a Resolution accepting the feasibility study and ordering public informational hearing to determine and affirm the scope of the proposed improvements of sanitary sewer, streets, storm sewers, and/or public waters .in Section 32, Township 32, Range 24, and in Section 29, Township 32, Range 24... ~ f.he prepared resolution setting the date of April 29, 7:30 p.m., Andover City Hall...)

The County bas 50 feet of dedicated right of way from the centerline of CSAH #18 also !mown as Crosstown Boulevard at it I s intersection with Quinn Drive. It is highly unlikely that the County would need additional right of way in the event of any improvement on the existing County Bead #18 at this particular location. The County would, therefore, have no objectiOns in acting favorably on a variance to your Ordinance which requires a 50 foot setback fran an arterial street or county road. The placement of a garage located within 30 feet of our right of way v.ould not adversely affect the safety of the traveling public as long as the entrance to the garage would come off of Quinn Drive. It v.ould be expected that the driveway that is being used accessing onto Crosstown v.ould be obliterated at the time of the construction of the garage. With this condition, the proposed variance is acceptable to~the County. ' y1!!: ?~ Paul K. Ruud, P.E.

Much of this early development consisted of low to moderate-priced housing not only in the usual strip pattern along the main roads, but in small, relatively dense subdivisions scattered primarily throughout the western half of the community. Lot sizes typically were as small as 1/2 acre. In addition, a small concentration of commercial-industrial activities, that included non-permanent type development such as salvage yards. had been established along Bunker Lake Boulevard. The dispersed pattern of development configurations were largely Qetermined by the availability of suitable land. As much as 48% of the total area is considered non-developable due to environmental constraints such as wetlands and high water table conditions. See Table 1. During the 1970's, residential growth continued at an accelerated pace following established configurations. Housing units increased by 169% between 1970 and 1980. Agricultural land use remained fairly consistent, since a sizeable portion of the agricultural enterprises. utilize the highly productive peatlands, which are otherwise unsuitable for urban development. Commercial-industrial land use also expanded, proportionate to the residential development. Generally, this commercial':industrial land use growth was continguous to areas already established. By 1980, comprehensive planning and zoning 'policies were being formulated to guide further development. Of major significance was the designation of the Urban Service Area covering about 6 1/2 square miles of the southwestern portion of the city, in which sewer services were subsequently authorized by the Metropolitan Council. As a result high density residential development could be projected. In addition, small areas for neighborhood-support businesses were zoned in locations of convenient access. A local shopping center was designated at the junction of Round Lake and Bunker Lake Boulevards. Any new commercial- industrial development was to be contained within designated zones along Bunker Lake Boulevard. Outside the urban service area, new residential ,development was restricted to low density (minimum 2 1/2 acre lot) development. Policies were placed in effect to encourage continued . agricultural operations. Since 1980. residential expansion throughout the community, and especially within the urban service area, has been occurring at steadily increasing rates - from a roughly 4% annual growth rate in the early 1980's to about 9% by 1986. An area east of Hanson Boulevard, once zoned for light industry, has been redesignated for residential development in o 4 . .,-. 00' (~! 00 : 011'- ' =-- : o' . r--. .,- . 00 . f--~ . 00 . ~ ,.... : , -~. 0' r-- ' , ==. .,- , 00: --: 00, Mr--' , , , 0: r-- , F~: .,- , 00 , , f.--' . 00 , N ' r-- . --. :lJ :r. ;::l . o ' r-- ' . .

Landfill Vicinty The Waste Disposal Engineering (WOE) landfill lies to the north of Bunker Hills Boulevard and West of Hanson Boulevard. It should be distinguished from the South Andover tire storage and hazardous waste storage site which lies about t mile south of WOE, just south of Bunker Hills Boulevard. WOE is located on roughly 100 acres in the SW 1/4 of Section 27 in Andover, began commercial operation around 1965 on an already existing local dump site. At that time considerable residential development in the vicinity of the site was already in existence and undergoing expansion, Land use tabulations for 1970 reveal ~stablished strip development along Andover Boulevard immediately north of the landfill as well as along Crosstown Boulevard to the west. Of the nearly subdivisions. Red Oaks Manor just to the southwest accounted for the vast majority of the 77 high density housing units within 112 mile (Zones 1 & 2) of the landfill. Proportionate development values for Zones 1 and 2 in 1970 were less than 50% of those for the outlying Zones 3 qnd 4, which included the rapidly developing northern fringe of Coon Rapids as well as a sizeable portion of Bunker Hills Regional Park. Since this is a Clunty regional, not local, facility, it's acreage is considered as '.,ndevelopable." However, during the 1970 to 1978 period proportionate development increases in Zones 1 and 2 actually exceeded increases for the outlying zones by 50% - as housing in Red Oaks Manor continued to .expand in the direction of the landfill, and other smaller subdivisions such as Shady Knoll, west of the landfill, and Hartfiel's Estates, to the northeast, were developed. Trends in proportionate development increases during the 1978 to 1984 period tended to equalize for a.ll zones. By 1984, about 2 years after landfill closure, overall proporti.onate development values for Zones 1 and 2 did remain somewhat lower than in the outlying zones. However, there is no evidence that development in the close proximity to. tht landfill was particularly inhibited with respect to general development trends in the area. In fact, continued housing. construction is ongoing in the area just to the southeast of the closed landfill across Hanson Boulevard. 6 o o OAK GROVE General Overview Oak Grove Township has been historically a rural farming-oriented community with some minimal resort activity around Lake George. During the decade of the 1960's, Oak Grove was just beginning to experience an influx of suburban fringe residential development. As reported in the Township Comprehensive Plan, housing units increased by 50% (from 340 to 510) between 1960. and 1970. Most of the housing at that time consisted of scattered strip development along the various existing county highways and township roads. Only a few subdivisions had been platted and were in very early development phases. During the 1970's, growth accelerated considerably as low density (2 1/2 acre minimum lot) subdivision housing gained in popularity. The number of housing units increased by 121% between 1970 and 1980 to a total of 1129. A 1980 Township inventory revealed a sizeable growth potential, with 587 platted lots remaining yet undeveloped. Since 1980, increases in housing units continued at a moderate pace, averaging approximately 5% annually. As evident on the plat map, the pattern of residential development is somewhat irregularly dispersed throughout the Township. This pattern has largely been determined by the natural configuration of extensive wetlands and areas of high. water table that impose severe development limitations for on-site septic systems. Such areas of quasi non-developable land cover well over a third of the total area. There has been little commercial or industrial development in Oak Grove and such development is not expected to have a significant role in future growth. Comprehensive Plan policies propose that zoning issues regarding commercial or industrial development be handled on an individual case basis. A few small neighborhood-oriented businesses have been established in close proximity to certain residential areas. Landfill Vicinity The Oak Grove Landfill was established in 1967 on the Egan family farm property in the SE 1/4 of Section 28 along Viking Boulevard. Operations were disconti nued in 1984, though closure procedures have not yet been finalized. As evident from the land use tabulations, there would have been less than 20 residences within 1/2 mile (Zones 1 and 2) of the site at the time. Two of these residences were immediately across Viking Boulevard. A considerable proportion of the surrounding area is non- developable - including the boggy areas along Cedar Creek to the south and an extensive wetland north of Viking Boulevard. o Land use tabulations indicate that a relatively small proportion of total 7 o o " developable area within Zone 1 was developed. Proportionate development values for Zones 2, 3 and 4 were roughly comparable. From 1970 to 1978, a period of major development growth throughtout Oak Grov!;. Zone 1 properties underwent the highest proportionate increase. owing to the Reggi Ridge and Hickey lake Woods subdivisions immediately to the west and northwest to the landfill along Viking Boulevard. Proportionate development in other zones appeared more consistent, with developed land use roughly doubling during the 8 year period. See Table 2. In the 1978 to 1984 period, proportionate development increases are somewhat more consistent for all zones, which continued to snow substantial growth in residential units. Some of the development increases in Zones 2, 3 and 4 included dedicated park areas in the newer subdivisions, small commercial establishments, and several acres of ball fields along Lake George Boulevard. In general there is no evident trend to suggest that proximity to the landfill might have inhibited development during its time of operation. RAMSEY ,General Overview During the 1960's Ramsey was just beginning to experience an influx of suburban fringe development scattered throughout the community. New residential construction occurred both as strip development along the main road and in subdivisions of moderate density development on 1 to 2 acre lots. Agricultural land use predominated on most of the remaining developable land, with a minimal scattering of commercial strip development along Highway 10. Non-developable land, consisting primarily of wetlands and areas with high water table conditions, exist throughout the community, but are especially predominate in the most northern quarter. The 1970 resulting use is shown on Table 1. In the early 1970's, Ramsey underwent a phenomenally rapid surge of development. Between 1970 and 1980 housing un its increased by 320% - from 662 to 2783. Residential development continued along previously established trends of moderate density subdivisions that became most heav ily concentrated in the center of the community. Commercial- industrial development also increased substantially along the Highway 10 corridor. The City comprehensive plan as revised since 1980 suggested major changes in structuring the continued growth anticipated for Ramsey at that time. The most southeastern 3 square mile area, which had had relatively little development, became the focus for intensive urban development planning. This area authorized for sewer service by the 8 "fl . , i. 1/): <i) enl~ I'- --. M I'- (') ID ID ~ .,. - <i) en I/)I~ <i) 0 1/), 0 ID C\J en CO C\J , .,. . .,. C\J en C\J .,.

V'\ 9 o Metropolitan Council; the area has been projected for both high density single-unit and multi-unit housing as well as a sizeable concentration of commercial development centered around the intersection of Nowthen and St. Francis Boulevards. To the west of this Urban Service Area, plans also called for an expanded retail business zone along Highway 10 as well as an industrial zone to the north - covering a combined total of about 1200 acres. Beyond the Urban Service Area and commerical- industrial zone, the remaining northern portion of the community has been zoned for low density residential, on which new development is restricted to minimum 2 1/2 acre lots. However, several areas for small neighborhood convenience-oriented commercial centers have been designated at strategic locations. Since 1980 overall development growth in Ramsey has been rather modest as compared to the previous decade. Housing unit increases have averaged between 2% and 5% annually with recent residential development concentrated primarily within the Urban Service Area. Landfill Vicinity Table 3, Ramsey Land Use, describes the changes in land use over time. When landfill operations in Ramsey began in 1966, there was virtually no development within 1/4 mile (Zone 1) of the site. Only a few scattered residences existed along Sunfish Lake Boulevard immediately to the east. By1 970, concurrent with the onset of rapid growth throughout the community, new residential development was already underway within 1/2 mile (Zone 2) - along both Ramsey Boulevard to the west and 153rd Lane to the north. Proportionate development values for 1970 reflect the sparse Zone 1 development and show similar degrees of development in Zones 2, 3 and 4. I Land use tabulations for 1978 reveal a minimum three-fold increase of housing units throughout all zones. Proportionate development increases continued to be consistent for Zones 2, 3 and 4, but were actually about 60% higher for Zone 1 where a proportionate large amount of residential construction had occurred right up to the western edge of the landfill itself. It should be n'oted that comprehensive planning maps of that time projected that the landfill, once closed, would become part of the municipal park system. Between 1978 and consistent for all community growth values for Zones development. 1984, proportionate development increases were zones and reflect the overall deccelerated pace of during this period. Actual proportionate development 2, 3 and 4 indicate a comparable degree of overall The values for Zone 1 are apparently 40% to 50% lower in comparison to the other zones. This is most readily explained by the fact that Waste o 10 (l) :Jl ~ ^ . Ol Ll) M ~ 0 Ll)' . <.Q 0 <.0 <.Q Ol <.Q - .... ~O M CO . CO ~co, 10, O.N . ...

MeshuaaDrlveway Mr. Rodeberg presented a letter from BII I Slronen, Assistant Anoka County Engineer, regarding driveway standards adjacent to County highways. Mr. Rodeberg noted that these standards recommend el imlnatl ng secondary access dr Iveways onto County roads, and stated that the standard residential driveway width Is 16 feet. He noted that this driveway exceeds both standards, and recommended that the driveway opening be left as It presently Is. Mr. Rodeberg also noted that contrary to what Mr. Mashuga's November 3, 1988 letter states, Del Zentgraf of TKDA Indicates he talked to Mr. Meshuga onl yonce pr lor to curb and gutter pi acement and was asked only to match the existing driveway width, which he felt he did. Mr. Rodeberg noted that the 26 foot driveway referred to In Mr. MeShuga's letter Is Mr. Tom Mey's driveway, and relates to providing access to an outbuilding In the back of his lot. Since Mr. May has a dividable lot with no reasonable access except at Its present I ocatl on, one dr Iveway of 26 feet was constructed 1 nstead of co nstruct I ng two separate dr Iveways separated onl y by a small bump. No other means of access was feasl bl e. o Mr. Schrantz submitted a letter from the County dated In April of 1980 which noted that Mr. MaShuga's garage construction would only be allowed If the access to Crosstown Boulevard was closed off. Mr. Meshuga stated that he has not seen this letter before. Mr. Mashuga noted that since his other driveway Is fairly steep, he considers the Crosstown Boulevard driveway his primary access during the winter. He also noted that he does not have easy access to the outbuilding In his back yard without having access from Crosstown Boul evard. o Honorabl e Mayor and City Council Andover, Minnesota, November 16, 1988 Page Two Council Action The Item was continued to the next regularly scheduled Council meeting to allcw the Council to review the letters frOll the County, and also review the Council action relating to the April 1980 letter. 2.

That proposal included extensive data collection, analysis and report preparation which, we understand, was beyond the scope of what you fel t was necessary. We have reviewed the available data and feel that a Traffic Impact Review utll izlng e)$lstlng data and a less formal report presentation could be completed at a cost not to exceed $850.00. However, after additional review of the existing data by our Traffic Engineer, we find that there appears to be a minimal probability of any traffic Impact problems within Andover. In his opinion, a Traffic Impact Review is not warranted, and recommends that City staff review the local traffic situation as development occurs. We would be happy to provide assistance at that time.

Prior to the Commission changing the policy to collect SAC only if connecting to the sewer system, the city remitted SAC only as if the amended policy was in force at that time. While the city collected SAC in accordance with the previous policy (within the Sewer Service Area) they only remitted SAC to the Commission for those permits where connection to the sewer system was made. On this basis the city actually retained in escrow the SAC collected which would be eligible for refund under the current policy. Therefore the Commission has the understanding that because SAC was remi tted only for sewer connection permits, the city has already received the refund for eligible units under the policy change. Henceforth the city is responsible for payment of SAC for any new per- mits issued for connections to the sewer system whether or not they had been previously paid by the property owner. This letter confirms that the City of Andover has not remitted SAC collected on permits not connected to the sewer and therefore has no units eligible for refund.

Paul, Minnesota 55101 Re: Airport Adequacy Study Advisory Task Force Report Dear Council Members: The Northern Mayors Association (NMA) wishes to thank the Metropolitan Council for its willingness to visit with us and share the above referenced report. We wish to go on record stating that we have a continuing interest in this issue and ask that the opportunity to dialogue with the Council on the subject of the airport be kept open. The report does concern our Association in that a close reading indicates that the northern metro area is not a consideration for a future cite for a new airport. We come to this conclusion based on our understanding that the Council is limited in its authority to look for alternative cites within the seven county metropolitan area. o J o W suggest that if th recommendations of th report are to be implemented that the council seek legislative authority to look for a1 ternati ve ci tes outside the seven county metropolitan area. specifically, we recommend that the Council communicate with the counties of Sherburne, Isanti and wright and the communities located there. We do not.. . and cannot speak for these counties or communities. We suggest, however, that a dialogue be open d with representatives of these counties and communities for the purpose of determining whether these enti ties may be interested in discussing the airport issue further. In our view, any citing or potential land banking for a future airport in the northern metro area would have to consider a location outside the current seven county area in order to fit the basic criteria of land size needed to meet noise and environmental issues. o We believe that the Task Force did a very good job in dealing with a difficult issue. We stop short of endorsing the report's two stage recommendation. The area of our concern is, however, twofold: (a) the cost of implementing the first stage expansion at MPS where the life span of that investment will be so short and (b) the negative impact of the expansion plan on the affected communities. " o We enthusiastically concur that the airport issue is more than just a "noise and related environmental question." These issues are cri tical. They must be addressed and resolved wherever the airport is... today or in the future. On the other hand, a major issue for all of us is what kind of growth can our region expect to achieve with the airport at its current location considering its capacity limitations? We all need to have a comfort level that as a regional community we will be able to compete long into the future with other parts of the country. The airport is and will continue to be one of the major factors driving our ability to compete effectiv ly for economic growth in a global community... for the ben fit of all of our citizens. The NMA wants to play a part in helping that occur. The communities of the north metro area do not want a future airport cited in a place where our population of 815,000+ citizens (and growing rapidly) will have to travel more than double or triple the distance they now are faced with at the MSP location. We believe that our citizens are deserving of a fair share of both the private and public investment in the metropolitan community. We feel that a future airport cite in the south... and more specifically closer to Rochester th n not...would be very detrimental to the growth, employment and development potential of our area long into the future. o ..I . o As stated earlier, we interpret the Council's authority in this process to be limited. That is, your authority appears to be limited to look for alternative future cites only within the seven county metropolitan area. We believe that your authority should be expanded as suggested above_ This is in reality an issue that affects the entire state of Minnesota. Thus, we feel that your scope of authority should be expanded to include areas peripheral to the seven county area. We look forward to help this process move forward and to bring to the issue the multitude of our people's time, talent and energies to assist in that endeavor. Sincerely, Joseph D.

Slater, Executive Director Tax Increment Finance/Legislative Activities RE: Tax increment finance (TIF) promises to produce considerable discussion during the 1989 legislative session. Preliminarily, at least, there are a number of indications that the Legislature may have several opportunities to consider proposals on this always controversial subject. Senator Ember Reichgott (DFL-Robbinsdale) will hold two hearings on TIF before the session begins. She will provide a forum for the opponents of TIF to discuss the most controversial aspects of the subject on November .28. She will hear from supporters of TIF on December 14. We.expect county representatives to press for additional restrictions on TIF at the first hearing and to carry out that fight throughout the session. The League has been working since the adjournment of the 1988 session of the Legislature to develop positive information concerning tax increment finance. . We expect to publish a compendium of case studies of exemplary tax increment projects this January. It is vitally important that cities who are active in TIF initiate contacts with their legislators before the beginning of the 1989 session of the Legislature. o The League needs your help in building support for TIF among legislators. I strongly urge you to invite your legislators to inspect local tax increment projects before the legislative session begins in January. This would provide an excellent opportunity to brief your legislators concerning these projects and gain their support for keeping TIF available for your local program. I further suggest that you have photographs taken with your legislator at the project site. These photographs should be provided to the local newspaper with appropriate information for a news article. Enclosed is ~ press release and TIF background paper which we sent to your local press. .~I o o Page 2 The League will continue to work vigorously in support of tax increment finance before and during the 1989 session. It is, however, totally within your hands to develop a strong base of support for TIF by involving your legislators in your projects as soon as possible. The League is attempting to track each legislator's opinion of TIF. Pl ase contact either Lynda Woulfe or me at the League office to inform us of any success or opposition you encounter with your legislators. .. o o page Two .

Commercial Park Sales Policy ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT Planning (1 () I, ifJ~ l, ~Jf} BY: Jay Blake, Planner APPR~ED AGEN (1 BY/I f FOR At the November 15, 1988 meeting, the Andover City Council directed the Planning Department to begin drafting a sales commission sales policy based on the model established by the City of Coon Rapids. I contacted Bill Rubin, Economic Development Specialist for the City of Coon Rapids. He gave me some background information that will be helpful in setting a sales policy of our own. First of all, he stated that there is no formal policy statement from the City Council. The policy has evolved into its current form through years of practice. I would prefer to have a written policy adopted by the City Council. The process has three steps: 1) The realtor registers a client as a prospective sale with a letter of intent to sell. This is then kept on file to avoid by-passing the realtor. 2) The transaction is negotiated by the City staff and perspective buyer and realtor. 3) Upon completion of the transaction, commission is paid to the realtor. the fee is eight percent. a percentage In Coon Rapids case, There are a number of items the City must consider before the sales policy is adopted. First of all, at which point does the realtor receive the commission? Realtors are asking if the commission can be paid with an option. Coon Rapids pays only upon the completion of the transaction. It would be in the City's best interest to also pay the commission fee only upon the completion of the transaction. COUNCIL ACTION MOTION BY C.TO SECOND BY o Page 2 Sales Policy December 6, 1988 Also, what percentage does the City of Andover want to pay for the commission? I have heard that a typical commission in commercial sales is ten percent. Coon Rapids chooses to pay eight percent. The City may want to make that a negotiable item, depending on the size of the transaction. Possibly, the larger the transaction, the larger the commission. I am enclosing a sample letter from a realtor to the Coon Rapids Economic Development Department. I will have a sample registration form available at the Council meeting. o June 18, 1986 o Mr. Len Kne Director of Economic Development City of Coon Rapids 1313 Coon Rapids Boulevard Coon Rapids, MN 55433 RE: REGISTRATION OF PROSPECT - COON RAPIDS INDUSTRIAL PARK Dear Len: This will confirm our discussion regarding , Inc. and their interest in recieving a proposal from the City of Coon Rapids for a 2.0 ~ acre site in Coon Rapids Industrial Park. The principals of , Mr. and I" . .. , are planning to construct a plant and offices roughly 13,000 to 14,000 square feet in size for the relocation of their business. They have been in business since 1984 and have been profitable since founding their business. Currently they employ 15 individuals and are working considerable overtime due to the constraints of their existing facility. In a new efficient facility they estimate they would employ 20 individuals within the first year and depending upon business, strength of the economy etc., could employ up to 30 individuals within three years. This prospect is working with Kraus/Anderson on the design and construction of a new building. Although plans are not complete at this time the approximate project cost including land is $460,000 +. They anticipate purchasing new equipment in connec- tion with-moving to a new facilty having an estimated cost of $60,000. Although all raw materials, trucks and equipment, would be stored within the new facilty, would require an outside fenced distribution yard for the accumulation of finished pre-fabricated metal products prior to shipment. . o " Mr. Len Kne Clune 18, 1986 page 2 Now that we have identified the available sites within the city's industrial park, I plan to show them to the principals of . next Monday and will arrange a meeting with you to discuss further.
