CONSIDER 2008 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE
Community Development Director Neumeister stated none of the items presented have filed
applications.
Let the record show that none of the people who came forward at the Planning Commission
meeting of January 22Dd has made an official application. Notwithstanding that, the following is
our recommendation on the three requests that came before the Planning Commission and are
now before the City Council:
1. The firstrequest from Olvan Properties, Ron Vanelli and Mike Olson, has been discussed at
the Planning Commission at length and the changes they have requested are not justified with
the information that was presented that evening. Staff stands by the fact that the Woodland
Creek golf course has been zoned R-4 with a land use designation of Open Space for many
years. This is considered an appropriate land use for the property because of the conditions
0 that exist (Le. the extensive wetlands and floodplain that exist on the land).
2. The second request from Mike Smith, Bob Day and Winslow Holasek is not supported
primarily due to the fact that the sewer plan that was developed called the "Yellowpine
0 Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - February 6, 2008
Page 3
Alternative" is the most economical and efficient to serve the easterly undeveloped land in
Andover that lies in the MUSA.
3. The third re~uest from Woodland Development to change the 5 acres located north of
Woodland 5 Addition is supported and is a logical extension of sewer and a very small
amendment to the MUSA boundary that is logical and prudent to make at this time. It has
been studied extensively and can be served by the existing sewer pipes.
Staff recommends the Council affirm these recommendations with a motion and allow the
Comprehensive Plan to be sent out to the surrounding cities and other jurisdictions to begin their
review and comment period.
a. MUSA Expansion and Land Use Change Request for a Portion of the Woodland Creek Golf
Course
Mr. Neumeister stated there was a letter given to them dated February 2,2008, "Updating the 2008
Comprehensive Plans-Sewer Staging Plan for Eastern Andover" from Mr. Winslow and Corrine
0 Holasek.
Councilmember Orttel stated he has heard and checked out the Mendota Heights situation and it was
his understanding that there is an underlying zone of R -4 that the owners can avail themselves of if
the golf course is not viable. Mr. Neumeister indicated that is correct. Councilmember Orttel
thought that would meet the use of an alternative use even if the golf course is not viable as a
business. Mr. Neumeister stated that is correct.
Councilmember Orttel stated the golf course was built to sell houses, which it did very well, and he
understood the owners' position but the courts have stated there has to be an alternative use allowed
and that use is allowed because it is an R-4. Mr. Neumeister stated in court cases that come up it is
always brought up what is the reasonable use of the property and in this case if the golf course does
not succeed they can still come back under R-4 zoning and whatever is allowed to be a permitted use
can be done on the property or a conditional use in that zoning category and that is their typical
single family urban lot designation in the City so they could come back and request a single family
development there on the upland portion but there is not enough detail to judge whether that is
feasible.
Councilmember Orttel stated they are not telling them they need to keep a golf course there but they
need to keep it as open space. Mr. Neumeister stated that is correct. He stated the part that is
wetland will probably remain open space with the zoning designation of R-4 and the part that is
upland could come back before the Council with a request of some sort with the zoning designation
0 of R4, which is a reasonable alternative use to the golf course.
Councilmember Orttel stated they have a rule that will not allow someone to landlock a parcel and if
they develop that part by the clubhouse the whole property will be landlocked. Mr. Neumeister
stated they can still leave an access way through there if they want to preserve an access to the golf
0 Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - February 6, 2008

course. He stated this would be similar to a trail connection between lots for access to a park.
City Attorney Baumgartner stated he discussed this topic at length and he would concur with Mr.
Neumeister that there is the underlying R-4 designation which does allow an alternative use to the
property. There are some restrictions based upon the wetland that is associated with this property but
the fact remains that the property owner does still have a viable use being the R4 designation.
Councilmember Trude stated based on what they know about the wetland and floodplain of that
region, it would require extensive work with Federal, State and Local authorities to deal with
watershed, Federal Floodplains, protected wetland, etc., if anyone was to look at a plan to develop
the low areas or high areas. Mr. Berkowitz stated that is correct.
Mayor Gamache stated what they are talking about right now is that the golf course was originally
zoned with the R4 designation and what staffhas suggested is that the information that was given at
the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting did not justify what they are looking for and that staff
stands by the fact that Woodland Creek Golf Course has been zoned R -4 with the land use
designation of open space for many years and that nothing is really changing and the owners do have
0 that ability but did not think they would want to do that.
Councilmember Orttel stated one thing he found in the Mendota Heights case is that it is safe to
assume the golf course will not stay there in the long term but Mendota Heights did say they would
support a referendum if the residents petition a referendum. He wondered if the City could look at
obtaining the golf course for public use and maintaining it.
Mr. Jim Nelson, 3342 143rd Avenue NW, stated he likes the fact that they have an R4 underlying
zoning because it kind of protects the area if there is a development brought forward. He stated the
owners were coming forward with a mid-density development with a different zoning and it never
made sense to him. It did not seem compatible with the existing housing or with the golf course. R-
4 seems to be more appropriate than mid-density.
Mr. Nelson wondered if number three impacted this issue in any way. Mayor Gamache stated it did
not. He agrees that R -4 seems to be appropriate and they do not want to change that to anything
higher. He liked Councilmember Orttel's idea
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to agree with the recommendation of the Planning
Commission relating to the Comprehensive Plan Designation on the Woodland Creek Golf Course
and that Council chooses not to change the current designation of the parcel. Motion carried
unanimously.
0 Mr. Mike Olson, 22860 Imperial Avenue N, Forest Lake, stated they discussed this issue at the
Planning Commission and they felt they did not have enough time to get this plan in and they
discussed it with staff and they did not have any plans to present so they went with the medium
density request. Since then they have been doing some other research and they are looking at starting
to apply for wetland banking for the remaining sixty acres. The course will not be there anymore and
0 Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - February 6, 2008

they are just looking for the ten-acre piece. They already have sewer into it and they just wanted to
discuss that issue to let them know where they are at in the process.
Mayor Gamache stated it seems like there is a lot going on between now and the new golf season and
if the issues they talked about regarding multiple homes is going to meet with some type of
opposition here and at the Planning Commission, that it would be sensible to try to keep the golf
course open and look to sell or do other things with it. Mr. Olson stated they are thinking about
opening it up this year but right now they have not decided and were looking at starting this
application process and what to do with the piece of property.
Mr. Olson explained to the public what wetland banking is. He noted it is like wetland mitigation
and would be regenerated back to what it was originally.
Councilmember Trude stated some of the residents were concerned that they did not even try to sell
it. Mr. Olson stated they have had people come and look to buy but the numbers are not there and
the road closure hurt them in 2004. It has been one thing after another and they have not been able to
get out from under. They are looking at all the options.
0 Councilmember Trude stated whatever plans are brought forward she thought it would be a good
idea to have a neighborhood meeting first to discuss what they want to do. Mr. Olson stated he
understood but the application process is lengthy and they want to get it started as soon as possible. .
They are open to looking at other options.
Councilmember Orttel wondered if they would be willing to sell the property intact or would they
make a better profit doing it another way. Mr. Olson stated they would be willing to look at selling
the property as is if someone wanted to purchase the property.
b. Sewer Staging Plan Request 14861 Prairie Road & 329146th Lane NW
Councilmember Trude stated this is one they have heard from some of the individuals and she
thought the reality was they have some pipes in the ground and they are not close to locations where.
The applicants are seeking earlier dates in the city's sewer staging plan. The applicants own a
couple of parcels at the end of the current sewer line and with no plans for development there is no
justification to change the Comprehensive Plan.
Mayor Gamache asked if at the Planning & Zoning meeting they received the information on some
of the costs that they have already incurred. Mr. Neumeister stated they did not. Mr. Berkowitz
stated the whole issue that came up was the applicants that are looking for change are asking the city
to implement the Prairie Road Alternative 2, it was a separate item so staff was not prepared at that
0 time to have information at the meeting regarding the Prairie Road Alternative 2.
Mr. Neumeister reviewed the plan with the Council.
Councilmember Trude stated at this point they do not have anyone who would want to build on this
0 Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - February 6, 2008
Page 6
property. Mr. Neumeister stated that 'is correct. Councilmember Trude noted it did not seem logical
to build more trunk lines than what they have already.
Councilmember Jacobson asked what the capacity is of the Yellow Pine line. Mr. Berkowitz
clarified the costs of the Yellow Pine line. He noted they have capacity to accommodate the
Constance Free Church area in this line.
Mayor Gamache stated they have received some letters regarding the Bluebird Trunk sewer and the
180 percent TKDA put into a report and the 180 percent was previous numbers and they have done
some things with Yellowpine and a few other places which have changed those factors. Mr.
Berkowitz stated that was correct and the 180 percent is without the Yellowpine Lift Station. Before
they get near any capacity issues, that lift station will be completed and a by-pass will be constructed
so there will not be any issues with capacity.
The Council discussed construction and costs of the Yellow Pine Trunk Line with staff. They also
discussed staging plans in the future when development starts to pick up again.
0 Councilmember Trude stated she spent a lot of time reviewing this and agreed with staff's written
recommendation on this request in order to get this out for the six month review with neighboring
cities. She thought they may want to discuss this further at a workshop. Councilmember Knight
agreed.
Mr. Robert Day wanted to clarify a couple of things because what was difficult for them was they
came in with two small parcels and with Mr. Holasek it got carried away at the Planning
Commission. They are not asking to move forward; they are just asking to not go backwards, not to
change. He stated there appears to be capacity to come off Prairie Road without doing a major trunk
line. They are ultimately blocked against Winslow Holasek's properties so they only have two
options. They are just asking that if the capacity is there, to not move them backwards.
Mr. Day thought the Council is getting this confused with two issues. They are not looking at a
major trunk. There is supposedly capacity to take the line up to their piece or further.
Councilmember Orttel did not think this parcel should be pushed back any further but to change the
staging to the immediate would be harmful but he thought moving them back may provide a
hardship. Mr. Day noted this will be market driven and they are just looking to stay within the
staging phase of2010-2015 and not get pushed back to 2025. Councilmember Knight stated they
have to look at the entire area east of Prairie Road when making a decision.
Staff discussed with the City Council the process that is planned to be taken in moving the line
0 forward in the future.
Councilmember Jacobson asked if they kept the time frame of the property right now, are they
legally obligated at that point to bring the line in at 2010 or could they wait until the area is ready.
Mr. Day stated they would have to bear the cost. City Attorney Baumgartner thought at that point if
0 Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - February 6, 2008
Page 7
it is available and ready to be attached, he thought it was the City's obligation to do this if it is in the
Compo Plan frame.
Mayor Gamache agreed with Councilmember Trude that they should discuss this further at a
workshop.
Councilmember Trude stated she would propose a motion for Items B and C.
Motion by Trude, Seconded by Jacobson, to approve staffrecommendation of supplemental report of
02/0S/08 Items 2 & 3 as follows:
2. The second request from Mike Smith, Bob Day and Winslow Holasek is not supported
primarily due to the fact that the sewer plan that was developed called the "Yellow Pine
Alternative" is the most economical and efficient to serve the easterly undeveloped
land in Andover that lies in the MUSA.
3. The third request from Woodland Development to change the S acres located North of
0 Woodland Sth Addition is supported and is a logical extension of sewer and a very
small amendment to the MUSA boundary that is logical and prudent to make at this
time. It has been studied extensively and can be served ~y the existing sewer pipes.
And to discuss MUSA staging for the area around Prairie Road at an upcoming workshop.
Councilmember Orttel stated he would be concerned if they move Mr. Day out ten years. He
assumed the staging would remain the same and would be worked out with the extension of the trunk
and may depend on one person's decision whether to move the trunk but they could develop in that
time :frame and to move them out ten years would be quite a burden.
Mr. Dickinson stated his suggestion on Councilmember Trude's motion is they could review some of
the sewer related items at a future workshop. His goal is to get the Compo Plan out for review and
this does not preclude them from sending addendums after that date.
Councilmember Jacobson agreed with Councilmember Orttel about it being a burden by pushing it
out further but at the same time when he looked at the pink color, changing that is more thanjust this
parcel so they would have to look at that closely to see how it impacts those further to the north if
they were to change it.
Motion carried unanimously.
0 Councilmember Jacobson stated he reluctantly agreed to this. He will not consider anything beyond
what was approved because he felt they need to get that Master Plan done and he did not want to do
it in ten to fifteen acre parcels like they did before. If anything else comes before them on the Rural
Reserve, he will vote no.

NPDES (NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM)
PRESENTATION & PUBLIC MEETING/08-1
Mr. Kytonen updated the Council regarding NPDES.
There will be a workshop with the Anoka Conservation District taking place on March 18, 2008
from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. It is called "A Water Smart Workshop". This will be a collaborative effort to
talk about ways that property owners can save money on watering and also improve the quality of
storm water run off through landscaping.
Councilmember Knight asked if they are arriving at a point where the City is going to be mandating
certain types of yards. Can they mandate that people would need to have rain gardens in their yard?
Mr. Kytonen stated he was not sure if they could go that far but eventually they will be strongly
encouraged and they may want to strongly consider these and even encourage these.
Councilmember Knight asked if the Government is encouraging these types of gardens. Mr.
0 Berkowitz stated they are not at this point. What they are saying is that cities need to strongly
consider educating the public on different alternatives and then when it comes to their own
improvement projects of new development projects that will become mandatory. New developments
coming in will be required to meet some of these requirements.
Mayor Gamache asked if they will be looking at ordinance changes at this time. Mr. Berkowitz
indicated they are not.
Councilmember Orttel asked what types of things developers will need to change and improve to
meet the new guidelines and is there some place where they can find out the costs. Mr. Berkowitz
stated low impact development is very new. He stated they will see new regulations being put into
place by the City.
Councilmember Jacobson wondered with the downturn in housing, will that have an impact on
changing their plan. Mr. Berkowitz stated this will not change their plans. What they are
anticipating is there is going to be growth and eventually they will build out to full growth. He stated
this just pushes the plan out further and they do have to treat for these conditions.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to open the public hearing at 8:40 p.m. Motion carried
unanimously.
Mr. Shawn Rogers, 169 142nd A venue, stated he had a few concerns and comments with the current
0 program. The biggest concern is looking at the storm and rainwater as a waste product. He hoped
they could move away from what seems to be the pipe and pond method and instead they should be
treating it as a natural resource to harness and help recharge the ground water supply because that is
an issue they face in the summer. The idea of harvesting storm water as a natural resource is a
national and local trend. He stated that by treating storm water as an asset will lead to more effective
0 Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - February 6, 2008
Page 9
flood control, clean the water ways and recharge the ground water supply much more effectively. He
was hoping Andover will be a leader in the North Metro and implement strategies to utilize storm
water effectively as a natural resource. He also believed that implementing techniques in the future
with low impact development techniques should be considered. He is requesting an update to the
current ordinance to reflect a clear path for residents that work to reduce their storm water run off
and receive a credit on their storm water management fee.
Councilmember Trude stated everyone in the City is charged the Storm Water Management fee and
it pays for the entire City's management. Mr. Berkowitz stated that is correct and there is a credit if
you can prove your storm water is being contained within the property. A resident can go through a
process to prove this and they can waive or reduce the fee.
Mayor Gamache asked if the City has a way of showing people how to maintain the storm water
properly. Mr. Rogers stated that was the problem; the ordinance is not very clear at all. The current
ordinance does not even specify a clear path to do that.
The Council discussed different ways to help with run off containment.
0 Mr. Rogers indicated he is not asking the City to make anything mandatory but he would like to see
more education being brought to the residents regarding this issue.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, to close the public hearing at 9:00 p.m. Motion carried
llnanimously.
APPROVE AGREEMENT WITH NATIONAL SPORT CENTER
Councilmember Jacobson stated he did not have a problem with the agreement but wanted to add
something to it: "Subject to a legal agreement between the City and the Hockey Association,
outlining the Hockey Association's responsibility to pay the costs associated with this agreement."
He wanted to add that they hold the City harmless.
Mr. Dickinson stated it is more for their enforcement purpose. He did not have a problem with it
and he thought the Hockey Association is committed to the hours and thought they would be
upset if they were taken away. Councilmember Jacobson did not want to take them away but if
they do not use or pay for them the City has some way of recouping the costs.
Mr. Tony Howard, 2119 156th Avenue, did not think they had a problem with the agreement.
Currently they are using another five hundred hours over the two hundred and twenty hours they
0 are seeking so he did not think that would be an issue.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to approve the agreement with the National Sport
Center. Motion carried unanimously.
