WWW.CI.ANDOVER.MN.US REGULAR ANDOVER CITY COUNCIL MEETING - JUNE 5,2007 MINUTES The Regular Bi-Monthly Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by Mayor Mike Gamache, June 5, 2007, 7:00 p.m., at the Andover City Hall, l685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota. Councilmembers present: Don Jacobson, Mike Knight, Ken Orttel, Julie Trude Councilmember absent: None Also present: City Attorney, Scott Baumgartner City Engineer, Dave Berkowitz City Administrator, Jim Dickinson Community Development Director, Will Neumeister Others 0 PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE RESIDENT FORUM Mr. John Bankston & Ms. Tracie Funfar - 3917 158tb Avenue, asked for a request of the City Council to allow them to have their wedding D.J. on July 7, 2007 play until 11:30 p.m. Councilmember Trude wondered if they had talked to their neighbors. Mr. Bankston indicated they had and all were supportive and he noted they also collected some signatures if the Council would like to review them. The lot sizes in their neighborhood are between three to six acres. He talked to all the people that will be most directly affected by this and they have all been supportive. Councilmember Jacobson wondered if they need to go through the City to get a resolution for them to review and approve. Mr. Dickinson suggested they are looking for a similar process they went through with Mr. Brad Povlitzki of Po v's. Councilmember Trude thought they determined the noise ordinance applies to him and he was just getting a liquor extension to sell alcohol in the yard. She thought the best insurance was to let all the neighbors know and possibly invite them and if they asked that the volume be turned down to accommodate them because she did not know if they wanted to really encourage a whole lot of partying in the yards. 0 Councilmember Knight thought they needed to keep it at an appropriate level. Mr. Bankston indicated the music would be pointed away from their house and into the backyard. Councilmember Orttel thought they may want to look at the ordinance to see what the decibellevel is and keep it at that. He also thought if the Sheriff showed up, they would need to turn the music down. 0 Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - June 5, 2007 Page 2 AGENDA APPROVAL Remove from Consent Items for discussion Items 7, (Approve Wayside Horn!

May 22, 2007, Workshop Meeting: Correct as amended. Councilmember Trude stated one page 5, they were talking about the Animal Control Ordinance. On line 21, the first question she wanted to have looked at is what constitutes a modified barrier and she knows she did not say "modified barrier" so she believes the word was "restraint". She also wants to have the words "how does an invisible fence fit in their code" added in after that. Councilmember Trude stated on page 6, they were concluding their discussion on what they should do with the Animal Control Ordinance and the direction to staff was not in there. She discussed this with the Administrator and what she understood was that the "Council had directed staff to seek law enforcement input on potential improvements to the ordinance". She thought that sentence could be inserted after line 5. Councilmember Trude asked Councilmember Jacobson on page 9, line 29, what he discussed and if that was correct. Councilmember Jacobson indicated it was. Motion by Trude, Seconded by Orttel, approval of Minutes as indicated above.

Mr. Neumeister indicated that was correct. Mayor Gamache wondered why he did not get the final plat on the other phases. Mr. Berkowitz stated on a feasible standpoint for the developer, he wanted to phase that in with fifteen lots and see how sales go and then he will determine when he will go forward with the 0 second phase.
