John Hinzman reviewed the request of Chesterton Partnership to rezone a 60 acre
parcel located at 15xxx Hanson Boulevard from R-l, single family rural to M-2,
Multiple Dwelling. Mr. Hinzman noted the applicable ordinances and stated that the
adjacent land uses are R.I. Chesterton Partnership is proposing to rezone the area in
order to construct a senior housing facility. An amendment to the Comprehensive
Plan was approved earlier this year to transfer the RM, Residential Multiple Density
land use designation from a portion of the Chesterton Commons site to the proposed
site.

Mr. Hinzman noted that the property is within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area
and that municipal service expansion is scheduled in both the 1995-2000 and 2000-2005
zones.
Motion by Ape!, seconded by Wells to open the Public Hearing. Motion carried on a 5-
yes (Apel, Wells, Peek, Gamache, Barry), 2-absent (Luedtke, Squires) vote.
Gary Sather, 15532 Nightingale Street NW - asked for more information regarding
what type of housing will be in the plat - is it rentals or purchased homes.
\
Terry Windschitl, Chesterton Partnership - explained that the first thing they are trying
to do is to get the land use in place that is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Their intent is to get together with professionals to obtain ideas about what would best
fit. They are not looking at any type of facility similar to what Presbyterian Homes is
proposing. They are looking at what would be workable for the site and would benefit
the city.
Co:nmissioner Wells asked if the proposal would be similar to what is in Coon Rapids
by the Middle School as they have many problems because of the apartment buildings.
She questioned whether high-rises would be a use in this zoning classification. Mr.
Hinzman stated yes, this is the zoning designation for apartment buildings.
Commissioner Wells stated that she has a real concern with the proposed land use
designation next to a school (Oak View Middle School). Mr. Carlberg explained that
there are parcels of single family residential property between this and the school and
there is also a large wetland separating them. Mr. Windschitl noted that in the
Comprehensive Plan the designation for this property is RM and they are trying to fit
into that classification as close as possible.
Commissioner Barry asked if Mr. Windschitl has people working on what type of
structures will be built. Mr. Windschitl noted that it will be senior housing and that
very rarely do you see senior housing that is only one story. The one in Ham Lake is
either 3 or 4 stories. He explained that their intent tonight is to get the zoning in
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Hinzman explained to the audience the land swap that occurred previously noting
that 40 acres across the street from this property was designated RU in the
" Comprehensive Plan and that land use was placed on the 60 acres being reviewed
./ tonight.
Gary Sather once again expressed his concern that we don't know what type of
housing is going in their and that should be known before the property is rezoned.

Motion by Barry, seconded by Wells to close the public hearing. Motion carried on a 5-
yes, 2-absent (Squires, Luedtke) vote.
Commissioner Wells stated that it was her understanding that when we did the land
swap this property was to be designated for senior housing. Mr. Hinzman noted that
it was in there but it was taken out at the City Council meeting. Commissioner Wells
stated that she is against this until we know more of what is going to go in there.
Commissioner Gamache also stated that he is against the rezoning at this time for the
same reason.
Motion by Apel, seconded by Peek to forward to the City Council for their approval
the ordinance amendment as prepared by staff changing the zoning district
classification to conform to the Comprehensive Plan.
"
Discussion: Commissioner Barry stated that the increase in density is a big concern
and also the traffic flow has not been looked at. Commissioner Wells asked if the city
has enough water to supply this property. Mr. Carlberg stated yes, we have a water
plan and this area can be serviced.
/
Vote on Motion: Yes - Apel, Peek; No - Gamache, Barry, Wells; Absent - Squires,
Luedtke. Motion fails on a 2-yes, 4-no, 2-absent vote.
Mr. Windschitl asked for the findings of fact to support the denial. Commissioner
Wells stated that she voted no because she was under the impression that the property
was going to be residential senior housing. Commissioner Gamache noted that he
didn't feel the Commission had enough information on what type of housing would be
constructed. Commissioner Barry stated that her concerns are the health, safety and
general welfare of the residents as well as increased traffic and multi-level buildings.
Mr. Carlberg explained that state law requires that after 1995, the Comprehensive Plan
prevails and the zoning has to be brought into compliance with the Comprehensive
Plan. What Mr. Windschitl is proposing is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Public Hearing: Rezoning-R-4, Single Family Urban and SC, Shopping Center to M-2,
Multiple Family-3331 Bunker Lake Boulevard NW-Presbyterian Homes of Minnesota
'.
. /.
Mr. Carlberg explained that this item and the next two items deal with the property
being platted as The Farmstead. The rezoning will deal with the land use and its
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The Special Use Permit will deal with the
buildings, open space areas and the actual concept that is being proposed. The third
item is the preliminary plat which relates to lot dimensions, easements and utilities.

\
Mr. Hinzman reviewed the request of Presbyterian Homes to rezone 1.18 acres from
Shopping Center to M-2, Multiple Dwelling and 8 acres from R-4, to M-2. The
property is located at the "Round Barn" site at 3331 Bunker Lake Boulevard NW. He
noted the applicable ordinances and stated that the adjacent land uses are R-4,
Neighborhood Business and Shopping Center. The proposal is for a 140 unit senior
housing facility with a special use permit for a Planned Unit Development. An
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan was recently approved designating the area as
RM-2, Residential Multiple Dwelling. Mr. Hinzman noted that the proposed rezoning
conforms to both the Metropolitan Urban Service Area map and the Comprehensive
Plan. Development through the Planned Unit Development Ordinance requires a
higher standard for site design to minimize the impact on surrounding properties.
Effects on parking and traffic would minimaL Underground parking will be provided
for residents and most automobile trips would occur during off peak traffic hours. Mr.
Hinzman also noted that the rezoning would have a negligible effect on surrounding
residential property values. He stated that staff recommends approval of the rezoning.
, I
Commissioner Wells asked why the Shopping Center classification is being changed to
Multiple. Mr. Hinzman explained that it was platted as Shopping Center and was
purchased by Presbyterian Homes to be included as part of this plat.
Chairperson Peek asked if there are any implications on the existing land use. Mr.
Carlberg noted that if the operation of the Round Barn continues as it has been, there
needs to be something in the PUD that allows it to continue. Those types of uses are
allowed in a PUD. Mr. Hinzman noted that the long part of the barn will be removed
and the round part will remain. The use of that structure has not been determined so
far.
Motion by Barry, seconded by Wells to open the public hearing. Motion carried on a
5-yes, 2-absent (Squires, Luedtke) vote.
Debra Schiltz, 13937 Eidelweiss expressed concern with what affect this will have on
the property values. She also asked if health, welfare, safety and traffic issues are
being addressed. She stated that one of the reasons they paid $50,000 for their lot was
because the area has protective covenants. She has a handicapped child and is
concerned with emergency vehicles being able to get to her home because of the
increase in traffic.
j
Tohn Mehrkens, Presbyterian Homes stated that a traffic study was completed on the
site. In comparing a single family dwelling project to a senior housing project the
traffic was about equaL However, the traffic flow would be at off-peak times as seniors
usually avoid rush hour.

Mr. Carlberg explained that the plan for Bunker Lake Boulevard will be 4 lanes. The
Anoka County Highway would like to eliminate driveway access to Bunker Lake
Boulevard. He noted that there is a one acre property that is now zoned
Neighborhood Business that could contain a car wash, convenience store or some other
business that could generate more trips per day.
Ms. Schiltz stated that her concerns are Marigold Street and the traffic from Round
Lake Boulevard. She asked to see the data to support the traffic study.
Mr. Mehrkens noted that they have a facility in Minnetonka and the surround property
values rose 13% after their facility was constructed. Mr. Hinzman stated that he also
checked with the Anoka County assessor and the Ramsey County assessor who both
stated that there is no negligible effect on the surrounding property values. Ms. Schiltz
asked if there are home sales that would support this.
\
, j
Roger Leitschuh, 3224 - 139th Avenue NW asked if there had been any changes since
the last meeting. Commissioner Apel explained that the City Council approved a
Comprehensive Plan amendment and forwarded it to the Metropolitan Council who
also approved the change. Commissioner Barry noted that the proposal is a better use
of the land then what could go there with the current zoning. Mr. Leitschuh stated that
he would not like to see a liquor store or adult book store in that area. He felt that the
proposal is a well thought out process.
Motion by Wells, seconded by Gamache to close the public hearing. Motion carried on
a 5-yes, 2-absent (Squires, Luedtke) vote.
Commissioner Gamache asked if the five lots on 138th are included in the project.
Scott Weicht, Adolfson & Peterson explained that those lots are a part of Woodland
Creek. They will remain as single family lots and the restrictive covenants will apply
to them. He noted that the 1.1 acre lot zoned SC was purchased in 1986 by the
Adolfson family as they did not want to see something commercial there.
-\

Commissioner Barry questioned the number of trips by emergency vehicles. Mr.
Mehrkens stated that the traffic study did not indicate how many of the trips were
made by emergency vehicles; however, he formerly managed one of their facilities and
they averaged 3 trips per week by emergency vehicles.
Ms. Schiltz asked where the construction vehicles will be entering the area during
construction. Scott Weicht indicated that initially they will have direct access off
Bunker Lake Boulevard. Quay Street would be a secondary access.

Chairperson Peek noted for the record a letter received from Michael Jerich, 3321 -
138th Avenue expressing his opposition to the project.

ordinance amendment as prepared by staff. Motion carried on a 5-yes, 2-absent

Public Hearing: Special Use Pennit-Planned Unit Development-3331 Bunker Lake
Boulevard NW-Presbyterian Homes of Minnesota.
\
Mr. Carlberg reviewed the request of Presbyterian Homes of Minnesota for a Planned
Unit Development to develop a senior housing development with twin/ town homes
and single family residential lots. The project will be called The Farmstead and is
located at 3331 Bunker Lake Boulevard. Mr. Carlberg noted the applicable ordinances.
The proposed Planned Unit Development consists of 144 units of which 134 are senior
housing apartment units, six are twin/ town home units and four are single family
residential lots. He stated that the proposal provides for a density increase of 20%
above the zoning district requirement as provided in Ordinance No. 112, Section 4(8).
The 20% increase provides for an additional 29 units. There are four criteria for having
a 20% increase in the density.
/
;'
lohn Mehrkens, Presbyterian Homes presented a revised drawing of the proposed
development, noting that there are duplexes, 66 units for independent living, 68 units
for assisted living and 24 are nursing service. As far as the traffic patterns, the
duplexes and guests would exit onto Marigold and the others will use Quay Street.
Underground parking will be provided with 88-90 spaces. The long portion of the
barn will be demolished and a larger pond will be constructed, eliminating the three
smaller ponds. The driveway for the assisted living units has been moved to the south
thereby creating more green space. The full time staff will have access to the
underground parking. It is their experience that 70 percent or fewer of the residents in
these developments have vehicles so the underground parking is significantly more
than they normally provide. Mr. Mehrkens noted that there are walking paths
throughout the development and the proposal would be to have the southern trail be a
part of the city's trail system. They would like to preserve the barn as it is an
important piece of Andover history. Mr. Mehrkens then presented a rendering of one
of the units.
Motion by Barry, seconded by Gamache to open the public hearing. Motion carried on
a 5-yes, 2-absent (Squires, Luedtke) vote.

Deb Schiltz didn't feel that 88-90 underground parking spaces is adequate.
- Chairperson Peek asked if they meet the parking requirements. Mr. Carlberg stated
that they are required to provide 1/2 parking space for each unit which would be 72
parking spaces. If the City Council feels it is necessary, they can require that the
number of spaces be increased. Mr. Mehrkens noted that this proposal has more
parking spaces then any of their other 17 developments. They also have in-house
transportation to take the residents to doctor appointments, etc.
Commissioner Wells asked if this project was going to be done in phases. Mr.
Mehrkens stated that it will be done at one time.
Motion by Apel, seconded by Wells to close the public hearing. Motion carried on a 5-
yes, 2-absent (Luedtke, Squires) vote.

Commissioner Wells felt that the proposal doesn't meet the four criteria for an increase
in density. She would be more comfortable with 120 units. Chairperson Peek stated
that he hasn't seen any documentation to convince him one way or another.
Mr. Mehrkens asked that the request be tabled so they could address the concerns
presented. They would be willing to have the rezoning go along with this on October
7,1997.
Commissioner Barry was satisfied that steps were taken to create more green space
although she has a concern with the potential use of the Round Barn. Scott Weicht
noted that they are not going to be able to come back and tell us what the use of the
Round Barn will be. The antique store will probably continue for the next year
however. Mr. Mehrkens stated that they want to make it available for the community
to use. Commissioner Gamache stated that the development looks good, and the open
space and trail fits nicely. He would be in support of passing this onto the City
Council. Commissioner Apel felt the same way, noting that there is significant green
space and common space.
Several commissioners felt that the developer has not met the four criteria for an
increase in density but if they provided that proof, they would have no objection to the
Council approving the request.

Motion by Peek, seconded by Wells to forward to the City Council the staff prepared

by Presbyterian Homes of Minnesota with a change in the sixth Whereas as follows:
the density of a maximum of 115 units since there has not been adequate
documentation to convince the Commission to approve the density increase. Motion

Commissioner Gamache stated that he would approve it if it was for 144 units.
Recess at 9:25 pm; Reconvene at 9:35 pm.
Public Hearing: Preliminary Plat - "The Farmstead" - 3331 Bunker Lake Boulevard
NW - Presbyterian Homes of Minnesota
\
Mr. Carlberg explained that the preliminary plat is within the Metropolitan Urban
Service Area and will be developed with municipal sewer and water. The developer
will be responsible to obtain all necessary permits. The Andover Review Committee
has reviewed the plat and is recommending upgrading and utilizing the internal
walkway system as fire access lanes. The Andover Review Committee also had some
comments regarding the bikeway/walkways. The trail system is being discussed with
the Park and Recreation Commission. Mr. Carlberg noted that the property is 10.79
acres. The property is within two watershed districts, the Coon Creek Watershed and
the Rum River Watershed. A letter was submitted by Presbyterian Homes regarding
the park dedication fee. They would like some of the park dedication fees waived in
return for preserving the Round Barn for community use and providing and
maintaining recreational pathways for use by the neighbors. Based on the number of
units proposed, 32% of the market value of the land would need to be paid in park
dedication fees. The City Attorney has stated that 10% is acceptable. The Park and
Recreation Commission has recommended 10% for the park dedication requirement.
\. /1
Commissioner Wells noted that we are looking at a 22% forgiveness on the park
dedication fee and a 50/50 split on the trail system and the developer is also asking for
financial relief. Mr. Carlberg stated that the financial relief being requested is not a
part of the preliminary plat discussion.
Dave O'Toole, Park and Recreation Commission Chairperson explained that the Park
and Recreation Commission felt that the 2% was excessive because of the amount of
open space and trail system they are providing. The Commission didn't feel that the
city has the finances, staffing, etc. to maintain the Round Barn.

Variance: More than One Principal Building on a Lot and Allow an Accessory Bldg.
To Remain Closer to Front Lot Line than the Principal Structure - 4345 -157th Avenue
NW
"\
/
Jeff Johnson reviewed the variance request of John and Rita Burgeson to allow more
than one principal structure on a lot and to allow an accessory structure to remain
closer to the front lot line than the principal structure. The property is 6.25 acres and is
zoned R-1, Single Family Rural. The applicant would like the existing home to remain
on the parcel until June 30, 1998 at which time his new home will be completed on the
same parcel. The existing home will then be razed. The second variance is for a 24' x
26' garage that will encroach 41.4 feet into the required 60' setback from the front lot
line. The garage will be compatible in design with the new home.
The Commission briefly discussed the location of the existing driveway which Mr.
Burgeson would like to keep. The Commission had no problem with that request.
Motion by Gamache, seconded by Wells to recommend to the City Council approval of
the request of John and Rita Burgeson as presented by staff. Motion carried on a 5-yes,
2-absent (Squires, Luedtke) vote.
Public Hearing: Amend Ordinance No. 10, Platting and Subdividing Ordinance
Mr. Carlberg explained that there are three sections of the ordinance that are proposed
to be amended: Section 9.03(d) Vertical Curves - this was recommended by our
engineering staff. Section 9.07.8 Credit for Private Open Space - this was discussed by
the City Council during a discussion of the waiving of park dedication fees for the
Presbyterian Homes senior housing project. Section 9.07.10 Dedicated Land, Minimum
Area - This would remove the additional 2% park dedication. Section 13 Easements-
This would require dedication of all utility easements with approval of a preliminary
plat.
Motion by Apel, seconded by Wells to open the public hearing. Motion carried.
'\
, J Dave O'Toole, 13429 Jonquil Street NW stated that the Park and Recreation
Commission has never applied the 2% additional park dedication fee. He did not feel
that credit should be given to commercial businesses for open space for park and
recreation purposes. He would like to see something done for developments like The

(Ordinance 10 Amendment, Cont.)
Farmstead. The other members of the Park Commission also feel that they should pay
10%. Regarding Section 13, Mr. O'Toole asked if trails could be added.
Commissioner Apel felt that Council could make the decisions for changes regarding
the commercial/industrial open space. Commissioner Barry felt that a minimum for
park dedication fees should be set and if the Council wants a developer to pay more,
it's up to them. She didn't think that 10% was too high.
Terry Windschitl felt that Section 9.07.8 could be very important to the city as you
could end up with a lot of open space that the city doesn't want to maintain. The PUD
criteria and open space criteria are getting confused. He stated that it should be
allowed for residential.
"
Commissioner Gamache didn't think that non-residential should be removed from
Section 9.07.8 because it's up to the City Council's discretion as to what to take. Dave
O'Toole stated the Park and Recreation Commission would like to see commercial and
industrial taken out because it doesn't benefit the residents.
Motion by Wells, seconded by Gamache to close the public hearing. Motion carried on
a 5-yes, 2-absent (Squires, Luedtke) vote.
The consensus of the commission was to accept the staff prepared amendment with the
change to Section 9.07.8 removing Multiple Family Senior Housing in Commercial and
Industrial districts.
Motion by Barry, seconded by Gamache to forward to the City Council approval of the
amendment to Ordinance 10, Sections 9.03(0), 9.07 and 13 as amended at the meeting..

Public Hearing: Amend Ordinance 8, the Zoning Ordinance- Section 4.05, Accessory
Buildings and Strnctures.
-'
Jeff Johnson reviewed the amendment to Ordinance 8 stating that the ordinance
should be amended for the following reasons: 1) the language in Section 4.05 relates to
principal structure setbacks and is lacking information relating to accessory building
setbacks; 2) property owners abutting a major arterial would be allowed to have a
more reasonable use of their property. These properties would be allowed to place an
accessory building which is less than 120 square feet in size 10 or more feet from the
rear lot line.
