Attention: Jim Schrantz, city Engineer
Regarding: Driveway from Lot 1 Block 1 Woodridge Acres
<:J Dear Jim:
The letter sent to the City on November 15, 1988 gave the
general guidelines for residential driveway access, As you
are aware, wherever possible, driveway access to the county
highway is not permitted when city street access exists.
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.

Attention: John Rodeberg, consulting Engineer for the
city of Andover
Regarding: Driveways
Dear John:
The Anoka County Highway Department uses 12 ~eet as a minimum
residential driveway width. 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.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
sincerely,

Regarding: Proposed Variance, at
Lot 1 Block 1 Woodridge Acres
Dear Mr, A1m?;ren:
In accordance with your te1~phone conversation of April 14,1980, with
Ralph Kishe1 of this office, I am furnishing you with the following facts
regarding the above referenced property in Andover,
The County bas 50 feet of dedicated right of way from the centerline of
CSAR #18 also known as Crosstown Boulevard at it I s intersection with Quinn
Drive, It is highly unlikely that the County oould 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 requixes 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 oould not adversely affect
'the safety of the traveling public as long as the entrance to the garage oould
come off of Quinn Drive. It oould be expected that the driveway that is being
used accessing onto Crosstown WJu1d be obliterated at the time of the construction
of the garage. With this condition, the proposed variance is acceptable to:,the
County ,

Dear Mayor Lewis:
Genereux and Associates under contract to Donohue Engineers is preparing
the Socio-Economic Impact and Land Use Elements of, the Anoka County
Landfill Inventory EIS (Environmental Impact Statement).
Enclosed please f,ind the following technical reports:
1. Methodology report for property value impact analysis,
2. Methodology and partial data results f,or land use impacts.
These two reports are submitted for your review at this time in order to
allow an opportunity f,or comment prior to the writing of, the EIS. We will
schedule a meeting with you soon to receive your comments,
It is our current plan to provide the following other reports in two groups,
The first group will include:
1, Methodology and data results report f,or the industrial property
impacts analysis,
2, Methodology and data results report f,or overall community
attractiveness impacts,
3, Methodology and partial data results on the effect of, a landfill at
Site Q on various users of, Bunker Hills Park and the golf, course,
4, Methodology, data, and analysis of, agricultural productivity impacts.
The second group will include:
1. Data results report for the property value impacts analysis,
2, Methodology and data results on the efJ,ect of, a landfW on municipal
services and property tax base,
3. Methodology and data results on the ability of, cities to manage
landf,ills within their city limits.
4, Complete data results f,or land use impacts,
As can be seen from the description of, these reports, each separate analysis
has three stages:

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

"
the respondents in each site area doubted they would keep their properties
if a proposed landfill was developed nearby; others had not yet made
up their minds (13% in Ramsey; 28% in Oak Grove; 37% in Andover),
One-half to two-thirds of the respondents in each area reported that
they had considered selling their holdings in the site areas. 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,

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

data for 675 homes. 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.

Cross reference sales in County Assessor's Ratio Reports.
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.

3. Regression analysis (Ramsey only) by house style, by

6. Statistics of each major variable, by zone and by quarter-mile

differences.

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.

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.

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.

CITY OFFICIALS PROMOTE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
City officials are actively promoting the merits of a local
development and redevelopment tool, tax increment financing (TIF),
before the upcoming legislative session.
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
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

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.

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

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

"
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.

on street lighting.
Attached is the new policy. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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%.

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.

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.

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

.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.

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

Regarding: Proposed Variance at
lDt 1 Block 1 Woodridge Acres
Dear Mr. ~en:
In accordance with your telephone conversation of April 14,1980, with
Ralph Kishel of this office, I am furnishing you with the following facts
regarding the above referenced property in Andover.
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. '

ANDOVER
General Overview
During the 1960's, Andover, formerly known as Grow Township, had
already begun to experience the influx of suburban fringe development
interspersed throughout the community. 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

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.

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

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

Management, Inc., the landfill operator, has held some 160 acres of
land adjacent to the landfill on the north and south. About 140 acres
of this land is developable; the remaining 20 acres are wetland. As a
result, a substantial portion of Zone 1 acreage has remained undeveloped.
If the 140 acres of developable acreage are excluded from Zone 1" the
proportionally development values are 7.6 for 1970, 31.4 for 1978, and
41.4 for 1984. These are roughly comparable to the other zones.

Re: Andover; Minnesota
Commission No. 9140-988
Dear Mayor and Council:
The fol lowing are engineering matters discussed at the regular Andover City
Council Meeting held at 7:30 PM on Tuesday, November 15,1988.
1. 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.

Re: Coon Rapids Traffic Impact Rev i~
Andover, Minnesota
Commission No. 9140-008
Dear Mayor and Council:
At the Council meeting held on Tuesday, November 15, 1988, the Council
expressed concern regarding the cost estimate relative to the authorization
for professional services for the above referenced project. 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.

Dear Mr. Schrantz:
This letter is to .confirm the understanding of the Commission
regarding Service Availability Charge (SAC) refund to your community.
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. If you have any questions in this regard,
please let us know.

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. Strauss

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.

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.

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.

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. .

Attached is a letter from John Rodeberg discussing the study.
The currently proposed Coon Rapids Development doesn't have access

expressed concern regarding the cost estimate relative to the authorization

Included extensive data collection, analysis and report preparation which,
