RECEIVE ANOKA COUNTY SHERIFF DEPARTMENT MONTHLY REPORT
Captain Tom Wells, Anoka County Sheriff's Department, provided an update on law enforcement
activities occurring within Andover.
Councilmember Jacobson asked if the law enforcement center was included in the Governor's
Bonding Bill that was passed. Captain Wells indicated it was. Mr. Dickinson stated the amount that
was approved was $3 million dollars with the rest being bonded by the County.
PUBLIC HEARINGIVACATION OF EASEMENT/17277 TONTO STREET NW
Community Development Director Neumeister stated the applicant is seeking to vacate a portion of
an existing drainage and utility easement to allow an addition to the front of the existing house as
shown on the attached drawing.
Mr. Neumeister reviewed the staff report with the City Council.
0 Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to open the public hearing at 7: 15 p.m. Motion carried
unanimously.
Daniel Gubbin and Mary Jo Gubbin, 17260 Roanoke Street, stated they are the executors of 17260
Roanoke Street. Mr.Gubbin understood the vacation of easement is a make or break point as to
whether a house could go back there. Mr. Berkowitz explained what the owner of the property is
requesting and indicated there would not be a house built on the property.
Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, to close the public hearing at 7:18 p.m. Motion carried
unanimously.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, to approve the proposed vacation of drainage and utility
easement. Motion carried unanimously. (Res. R035-08)
CONSIDER CITY CODE AMENDMENT/RESTAURANT PARKING REQUIREMENTS OF
CITY CODE 12-13-8
Community Development Director Neumeister stated the owners of the proposed "Moose &
Company Grill House" restaurant have submitted preliminary site plans. The plans show 60
fewer parking stalls on the site than is required by City Code. Under the current code, the
0 developer will be asking for a variance to the parking requirements or will not be able to open the
patio seating area. The significant difference between the proposed number of parking stalls and
the number required by City Code led the City Council to direct staff to research the parking
requirements of other metro area cities.

Minutes - April 15, 2008

Mr. Neumeister reviewed the information with the CounciL
Councilmember Trude stated it shows forty square feet of dining and the eighty feet of kitchen
area on the chart, but there is nothing indicated for the outside patio. She wondered if that would
be a dining area Mr. Neumeister indicated that was correct.
Councilmember Trude asked what would be required in the current code for parking for the
restaurant. Mr. Neumeister stated it would need around one hundred parking stalls and the
outdoor patio area would need about sixty-two stalls. If they do not achieve the changes being
requested tonight, the applicants would not be allowed to have an outdoor patio seating area. An
option would be to either have a shared parking agreement with one of the surrounding property
owners which is allowed in their current ordinance, or the Code would need to be changed.
Councilmember Knight stated some cities figure the parking stalls by the square footage and
some by the number of seats. Staff was proposing they figure the parking stalls by the number of
seats. He wondered how the number of seats are determined. Mr. Neumeister indicated the
applicant would normally have a design drawing which would be brought into the City and staff
0 would look at that to determine their seating requirements.
Councilmember Orttel thought they were going from the toughest standard to the easiest and he
did not want to be too easy. He asked what the total amount of stalls would be if they counted
seats. Councilmember Jacobson stated there would be ninety parking stalls. There was also
another concern because it states one for every employee on the largest shift and they do not
know what the largest shift will be.
Mr. Dickinson noted if the business is pushing maximum for the number of parking stalls on
their property, staffwould encourage the business to look for shared parking. Councilmember
Orttel wondered if the Code is used City wide, what happens to a business that does not have the
ability to have shared parking. Mr. Dickinson stated the Council would have to take a hard line
on that.
Councilmember Trude wondered if they should have a cross parking agreement before they jump
to this standard. As she looked at the plan, if they have a lot of people coming to the restaurant
sitting in booths, the plan will work. However, if they have a lot of areas where people are just
going to sit at a bar or stand, that is usually one person per car. She thought they needed
something more fluid to address a plan where there are mixed styles of seating or standing.
Councilmember Orttel wondered ifparking is allowed on the street in that area. Mr. Neumeister
indicated it is not because the street is not wide enough.
0 Councilmember Jacobson stated under the present rules, the applicant would be required to have
162 parking stalls. Under the present rules, staff is stating the applicant is sixty stalls short. If
they apply the applicants' numbers where they indicate one spot per every three people, the
numbers change to ninety spaces. They will have to have plus one for every employee in the
0 Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - April 15, 2008
Page 5
biggest shift which only gives them twelve employees for the largest shift before they go over the
amount. He thought they would have more than twelve employees on their biggest shift.
Councilmember Knight stated there is a similar situation at Riverdale in Coon Rapids and the
restaurant is using the bank next door for parking along with other spaces within the
development. He did not want to see them get into that type of a situation.
Councilmember Trude thought they should wait on this code until they see if there are shared
parking easements available.
Mayor Gamache asked the applicants if they spoke with business owners in the area. Mr. Andy
Stoner indicated they did not. Mayor Gamache thought that once the pool store opens, the
majority of the time the restaurant is open would be when the pool store is closed. He thought
there could be shared parking there.
Councilmember Jacobson asked if the Council were to enact the proposal tonight and it is only
for new construction, what would happen if someone moves into a restaurant or building that is
0 vacant. For example, he mentioned the buildings across from Festival and asked if the new
parking would apply to that. Mr. Neumeister indicated that area has a shared parking agreement
for the entire site and there is adequate parking.
Councilmember Jacobson asked if a restaurant is sold to someone else, would this apply to them.
Mr. Neumeister stated they would look at the overall shared parking agreement in the area and
calculate each of them to determine if the business is short on parking.
Councilmember Trude stated when this was previously discussed, they determined that they
should not have to over-build parking if there is parking in the vicinity and there is not an
argument about it. At this point, they do not know if overflow parking will be allowed. There
will not be signs up so she thought that was the change they need to send back for review. In
situations where overflow parking can be arranged with neighboring businesses, it will reduce
their code. She did not want to see more parking then they need and she would like to see more
green space; however, they do not want to impose someone's business excess on others.
Mayor Gamache thought 162 parking stalls was too high for the business. Councilmember Orttel
agreed. Mayor Gamache stated the issue becomes reality when the business loses business when
people cannot find parking spaces.
Councilmember Orttel wondered when the busiest hours will be. Mr. Stoner stated their
projected busy times will be the dinner hours on Friday and Saturday. He stated they are looking
0 at twenty-four to twenty-six employees needed for their they will have in their largest shift.
The Council further discussed possible parking issues and solutions.
Mr. Stoner suggested making some of the parking stalls smaller along with removing some of the
0 Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - April 15, 2008
Page 6
green space to add parking stalls since they have more than enough green space.
Mayor Gamache thought they need to move forward on this item. He made some suggestions on
what could be done with the parking.
Mr. Neumeister stated his recommendation would be to work on a shared parking agreement
with the bank or possibly Blue Fin. If they cannot achieve this, he thought they should restrict the
patio seating until they have shown a demonstrated need for additional parking.
Councilmember Orttel stated they could do an ordinance that states one stall per two and a half
seats plus staff, unless they have shared parking that allows them to reduce it accordingly.
Councilmember Jacobson stated if they enact what is being proposed, they drop about fifty-five
parking spots. He did not think that was adequate.
Councilmember Trude stated if they allowed one per three, they may get a few more parking
spaces.
0 The Council discussed with Mr. Neumeister and the applicant alternatives for parking and the
possible number of parking stalls that could be achieved.
Councilmember Jacobson thought they could approve the following verbiage. "One stall per
every three seats. If insufficient space is available provide for additional offsite parking to meet
the requirement (shared parking)." He explained what he would like to have for the requirement
to the Council and staff. Councilmember Trude wondered if this would be enough parking
because it was less than what staff recommended.
Councilmember Orttel wondered if there could be on-street parking. Mr. Berkowitz stated the
street would be too narrow for on-street parking.
Motion by Jacobson to approve the ordinance as presented by staff changing the wording under
the parking spaces requiring the verbiage underlined in bold to be removed and in its place
inserted, "One stall for every three seats. If insufficient space is available, it needs to be provided
off site to meet the parking requirements (shared parking)".
Councilmember Trude wondered if the wording could be "This requirement can be met with
shared parking". Mr. Neumeister stated the current code allows that right now without adding
anything at all. He noted adding "one for three" would be something new.
0 Staff discussed with the Council issues with the proposed changes.
Motion failed for lack of a second.
Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, to approve the proposed code amendment adding the

wording "one parking stall for every 2.5 seats in the restaurant". Motion carried 4 ayes, 1 nay
(Jacobson). (Ord. No. 369)
CONSIDER CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (08-04)/ON-SALE LIQUOR/13797 JAY STREET
NW
Community Development Director Neumeister explained the applicants are requesting a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for on-site liquor sales at a new restaurant in Andover Station
North.
Mr. Neumeister reviewed the information with the Council.
Councilmember Trude wondered if the applicant would be willing to address a potential
condition of seventy percent of sales for food or something more than the fifty. Councilmember
Jacobson stated they already have fifty percent in the ordinance. Councilmember Trude noted
, they can change it in a CUP. She stated there were concerns by people in the community with
regard to the number of businesses in the City with liquor licenses.
0 Councilmember Trude stated she wants to have something in the CUP indicating this will be
more of a family restaurant than a bar. She asked the City Attorney if they can change the
percentage to a higher amount in a CUP. City Attorney Baumgartner noted it states in Chapter
One o~Liquor Control/Intoxicating Liquor, Section 3-1B-4E, it states, "no on-sale intoxicating
liquor or on-sale wine license shall be issued unless the applicant makes a bonafide estimation
that at least fifty percent of the gross receipts of an establishment during the first year of business
will be attributable to the sale of food. He stated MN Statutes 340A further set forth that cities
may require more stringent and strict regulations with respect to liquor enforcement than is set
forth in the Statute itself. This gives the City authority to go beyond what it states in 340A and
also by the language in the Code when it states, "at least fifty percent". This is the minimum,
which means the Council can go further and ask for more.
Councilmember Orttel asked if that would be on a selected basis or overall. City Attorney
Baumgartner stated it says "at least". The problem they run into on a selected basis is a
discriminatory enforcement issue. He thought it would depend upon a number of things. If it
was an establishment on the outskirts of town, they would not be as concerned about the food to
alcohol sales as they would close to the inner city. There might be justification for an inner city
establishment to have higher food sales to liquor sales ratio.
Mr. Andy Stoner discussed his business plan with the Council. He stated as far as the liquor
0 license wording, he would have two concerns. First, if they have businesses in the same area,
similar businesses that do not have the same type of limits set for them in terms of competitive
nature, he could see how that would affect them. He stated their Performa projects and is based
upon industry averages. He stated they have put a considerable amount of thought into this and
their concept is based upon the whole restaurant concept that does need to sell on-sale liquor. He
0 Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - April 15, 2008
Page 8
stated his concern was with their possible sale of bottle of wine that would go with a dinner.
Councilmember Trude stated her concerns were connected with the initial naming of the
restaurant and the layout of the restaurant where the beer cooler is bigger than the food cooler
and the liquor storage turned into an office along with a bar in the middle of the restaurant with a
lot of seating around it Also, the kitchen size compared to the alcohol preparation area causes
her to ask these questions. If their plan is more of a sports bar theme where people will be
drinking more alcohol, than these concerns can be addressed by saying they want to see more
than fifty percent in food receipts. They want another restaurant in the City; however, the only
way she can rely on the marketing plan is to put in a condition. They are opening an unknown
restaurant and the business plan can change based upon the clientele.
Mr. Stoner stated the size of the walk-in cooler is determined by geographies because they will
get beer deliveries once a week and need to stock up on it. They will be able to get food
deliveries daily so they will not need as much cooler or freezer space. He stated in the center of
the bar will be two cylinder type fireplaces.
0 Mr. Stoner reviewed the floor plan of the restaurant with the Council.
Councilmember Jacobson asked ifPov's and Tanner's were currently operating under the fifty-
fifty ratio. Mr. Dickinson indicated they were.
Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, to approve the Conditional Use Permit request for the
proposed restaurant. Motion carried unanimously. (Res. 036-08)
CONSIDER ON-SALE INTOXICATING LIQUOR LICENSE/13797 JAY STREET NW
City Administrator Dickinson stated MBG Holdings LLC has applied for an on-sale intoxicating
and Sunday liquor license for a grillhouse to be located at 13797 Jay Street NW.
Councilmember Trude asked if they could increase the liquor to food ratio in the liquor license.
Motion by Trude, Seconded by Jacobson, to approve the on-sale intoxicating liquor license for
MBG Holdings, LLC contingent upon receipt of a certificate of insurance and with a requirement
of food sales of sixty percent of gross.
Councilmember Jacobson stated he would be willing to make this requirement for one year and
then they could review it again.
0 Councilmember Orttel stated he would not be in favor of this because it is discriminatory against
this business when there ate other businesses in the area that have different standards. Mayor
Gamache indicated he would vote against this also.
0 Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - April 15, 2008
Page 9
Councilmember Trude stated because of the recent history of dealing with this business and the
name problems she would feel more comfortable adding this.
Councilmember Knight asked for the attorney's opinion on what is being said.
City Attorney Baumgartner stated you can do it but you run the risk of the appearance of some
impropriety based upon the rationale and treating establishments differently.
Councilmember Trude stated that because of the concern of the dance studio's owner and the
children coming and going from there, she wants to make sure this remains a family-oriented
business area. There is a desire in the community to get a family-oriented business and that is her
expectation. The applicants told her their pro forma is going to be 17% liquor sales, which is
more than double the liquor sales from their pro forma sales. She did not think it was a hardship
to them based upon what was represented to her.
Councilmember Orttel stated they re-approved Tanner's located next to a bowling alley and
theater where children are present and they did not bring it up. Councilmember Trude stated
their bar area is well defined.
0 Councilmember Knight wondered how this restaurant will differs from Tanner's. City Attorney
Baumgartner thought it would be the floor plan and location. Other than that it probably would
not be different. Councilmember Trude stated the bar area in Tanner's is considerably smaller in
size compared to the dining area
Councilmember Orttel stated another thing they need to understand is that the people that go into
the industrial areas do not have the authority to control other businesses that are coming into the
area He thought they have to be very alert to that. He stated this is not the only business this
company wants to control. Mayor Gamache stated there was no doubt with the purchase of both
properties that this area was being saved for a restaurant and they never intended it to be an
Embers or Perkins type of restaurant. CouncilmembeJ Trude stated she had no objections to that
and hoped this business will be very successful; however, this was the only way she could put a
condition on there that they can look at in a year for review. She stated the percentage can
always be lowered to fifty percent, but will be hard to raise if issues arise.
Mayor Gamache thought the concerns were over exaggerated and they need to adhere to what
they are doing with other restaurants in the same area Councilmember Orttel agreed.
City Attorney Baumgartner explained to the Council that it is easier to lower the percentage after
a year than to raise it after a year.
0 Mayor Gamache thought if they want to discuss changing the Code to a higher percentage they
can do that but it would be another matter. He did not feel that singling this business out is fair.
Motion failed 2 ayes and 3 nays (Gamache, Knight, Orttel).

Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Gamache, to approve the on-sale intoxicating liquor license for
MBG Holding, LLC contingent upon receipt of a certificate of insurance. Motion carried 3 ayes,
2 nays (Jacobson, Trude).
Councilmember Knight wanted to explain his position on this because he agreed with the 60/40;
however, his concern was the same as the City Attorney's and hoped everyone uses their head.
CONSIDER REZONING (08-01)/INDUSTRIAL (I) TO GENERAL BUSINESS (GB) FOR
PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 16125,16157 & 16191 ROUND LAKE BOULEVARD, 3138, 3149,
3160 162N LANE NW & 3121161sT A VENUE NW
Community Development Director Neumeister explained Council has directed staff to rezone six
properties in the Hughs and Westview Industrial Parks from the Industrial (I) zoning district to
the General Business (GB) zoning district.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, to approve the rezoning from Industrial (I) to General
0 Business (GB) for all seven properties based on the fact that times and conditions have changed.
Mayor Gamache asked if the owner at 3138 was not in favor of this. Mr. Neumeister stated at
first he called and was a little in doubt of it but at the Planning Commission meeting he was in
favor.
Staff reviewed with the Council the different businesses and their opinions regarding the change.
Councilmember Trude stated the City Clerk indicated Hughs does not have an "e" in it. On the
back of the ordinance there is the explanation for the rezoning but this will not be in the
ordinance so they need to delete the paragraph above "adopted by the City Council".
Councilmember Trude stated the record establishes that the Council thinks the area has changed
a lot and the traffic justifies retaiL It also fits the times and conditions since there is support by
the business community. She also thought this was a general overall upgrade to this area of the
City.
Motion carried unanimously. (Ord. No. 370)
Councilmember Jacobson stated as he was going through the list, there was one item that caught
his eye. It is a minor word change, "garages and storage structures for trash or garbage", which is
0 a permitted accessory use and is not what they mean. Garages are a permitted accessory use, but
storage structures for trash or garbage really address where garbage cans are placed. When it is
listed in this manner a person could use a garage for storing trash. He wondered if they should
direct staff to make the appropriate word change to make it very clear. The Council concurred.

ORDER ABATEMENT PROCESS/FAILED SEPTIC SYSTEM/ORDER QUOTESI2279154TH
LANE NW
Mr. Neumeister stated the City Council is requested to receive the attached information related to
what has transpired over the past seven months and determine whether staff should move ahead
to abate the nuisance. The owner had a quote to do the work, but did not follow up with the
contractor who was willing to install the system last fall. The finances to pay the contractor fell
through so no work has been done.
Mr. Neumeister reviewed the information with the Council.
Mr. Dickinson stated one of the reasons for the delay was there was a contractor lined up and it
was going to get taken care of but at the last minute fell though.
Councilmember Trude asked if the property owner is not talking to the City, how will they know
0 how much will be assessed. Mr. Dickinson stated they will notify him and staff will come back
to the Council to do the final assessment. He stated this is considered an imminent threat and
that is why they are bringing it forward.
Councilmember Jacobson asked if this is the proper way to do this. City Attorney Baumgartner
stated it is and that the ordinance was followed.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, to acknowledge the receipt of the attached information,
adopt the attached resolution confirming that the Building Official will obtain three quotes for
the work that is needed to abate the nuisance, and assess the property for the cost to perform the
corrective work. Motion carried unanimously. (Res. R038-08)
