ation and allowed an additional 20 minutes to answer questions. Mr. Blake
provided commissioners with a suggested list of questions. List attached to
minutes.
Mr. Ferris noted that questions #6 and 7 were covered by all three firms
in proposals submitted to commission. He recommended commission not ask
firms to repeat answer to those questions.
Commissioner Spotts suggested questions be asked that relate specifically
to our community.
Mr. Ferris stated that questions #3, 10 and 11 are strong, important questions
that should be given priority.

from Michigan State University. His multi-disciplinary doctoral program includes
concentrations in urban planning, economics, and transportation. The primary
focus of his doctoral studies was land economics, interactive human activity
systems, and theories of transportation-distribution systems. While pursuing
his doctoral degree, he served as an instructor of planning communications and
land use design courses for the Department of Urban Planning, Michigan State
University. Bob also holds a Master's Degree in Urban Studies from Mankato
State University.
Bob has extensive professional experience with problems related to economic
development, land economics and location analysis. He has worked with cities,
developers, and business owners in a variety of situations requiring an analytical
framework for decision making. His vast experience includes preparation of
comprehensive plans and growth management plans for cities; retail market studies
for municipalities and private clients; location analysis for private firms;
site analysis and design of commercial, industrial, and residential lands; site
and dock design for numerous marina projects; and preparation of environmental
assessments.
Prior to organizing URBANALYSIS, Dr. Wuornos served as the director of planning
for the architecture-engineering-planning firm of Van Doren-Hazard-Stallings;
served as an instructor in the Department of Urban Planning at Michigan State
University; and served as administrative assistant for the City of Hopkins, MN.
Professional services offered by URBANALYSIS include but are not limited to:
o
Comprehensive Land Use Planning
Growth Management Planning
Business District Revitalization
Retail Market Studies
Location Analysis
Site Analysis and Design
Environmental Assessments
Economic Development
Economic Analysis
Demographic Analysis
Robert Wuornos drove the city twice with Jay Blake and flew over once to become
familiar with area and to photograph area for slide presentation. The slide
presentation shown to commission by Wuornos is titled "Growth Management and
Land Use Planning for the city of Andover."
Wuornos noted that an image problem may exist for the city due to the auto
salvage area in the southeastern corner of Andover. He does feel the area is
screened from the ground fairly well.
The old city dump is barren but wide open and presents options for recreational
use, according to Wuornos.

An aerial view of Round Lake shows substantial recession of the shoreline,
particularly on north end. Wuornos added that URBANALYSIS has recent experience
with problems regarding shoreline management.
A slide of the Rum River suggests areas for shoreline management. Wuornos noted
that developing additional public access to river can be a consideration for
city.

Wuornos states a problem for the city is obtaining revenue to develop its
ample park lands. URBANALYSIS would study this issue and work with the city
in area of park development.
Transportation is a major factor in the Comprehensive Plan. Wuornos pointed
out to commission that Andover has no state or federal roads, only county roads.
Wuornos states that to provide better transportation, some county roads could
be expanded to four lanes and bike trails should be developed. Wuornos has much
experience studying development of bike trail systems and wrote the original
bike trail guide for the DNR. He has traveled European bike trails and studied
the system in Holland.
Wuornos outlined the process used by URBANALYSIS for growth management and land
use planning:
1) Problem Identification
2) Establishment of goals and objectives
3) Inventory
4) Analysis
5) Preliminary Plan Preparation
6) Evaluation/Revision
7) Implementation

Wuornos stated that URBANALYSIS would work closely with Metropolitan Council
to comply with their guidelines, and most importantly work closely with the
city of Andover.
Wuornos explained the evaluation process by showing slides of evaluation of
Elk River. He explained that maps of flood plains, prime agricultural soils,
water tables, areas of significant slopes, areas of large vegatation and areas
of high gravel content are all put together in a restrictive composite to show
areas most appropriate for development.
Wuornos noted that URBANALYSIS is aware of the citys concern regarding 2 1/2
acre lots. URBANALYSIS recently worked on a similar project with the city of
Lino Lakes that met with the approval of Met Council.
URBANALYSIS has developed a computer model that allows them to make projections
useful for determining retail and community facilities.
URBANALYSIS has experience in the area of industrial development with tax
increment financing.
Wuornos concluded his slide presentation and asked for questions from commission.
::J
Ron Ferris asked how URBANALYSIS would gather input from the public. Wuornos
answered that he would meet with the Planning Task Force and prepare a survey
for 1,000 households. The survey would be a clustered random sample. Ferris
questioned if equal input would be sought from urban and rural areas. Wuornos
stated he would try to balance geographic response. Mr. Ferris asked when in
process survey would be done. Wuornos explained the survey would fall under
Step Two - Establishment of Goals and Objectives - in the process. He adds

that in a review of the existing Comp Plan and establishment of new goals he
would work closely with Task Force, preferably meeting on a monthly basis.
Don Spotts asked Wuornos if the Metropolitan Council accepts development
projections by URBANALYSIS. Wuornos replied that full development can be
fairly accurately projected by restrictive composite and Met Council has
accepted his firms projections.
Don Spotts asked if URBANALYSIS has studied Andover's existing Comp Plan.
Wuornos states he has looked over plan and is familiar with work of writer
of plan. He explained that today planning is approached in a different manner.
Bev Jovanovich asked Wuornes what he sees as the key concerns faced by the
city. Wuornos listed the following issues:
1) Establishing acceptable lot size for development, urban versus rural
2) Re-establish urban service area
3) Transportation needs - presentation of city in favorable image
4) Parks and recreation - establishment of a trail system for safety
and recreational use
5) Commercial development - should not be exclusively on southwestern
edge of city
Wuornos feels there are many opportunities for the city of Andover.
~
Rebecca Pease asked Wuornos what role he feels the Planning and Zoning
Commission would have in the process. Wuornos was under the impression that
the Planning and Zoning Commission would serve as the task force. He sees the
task force as the local experts and URBANALYSIS as the provider of information.
Pease asked how the city staff and city council would be involved. Wuornos
sees staff as being very involved. He feels Mr. Blake would be a liason and
relied upon for almost day to day input/contact. Wuornos stated that usually
a city council member serves on the task force.
Ron Ferris asked Wuornos to describe method of fiscal control used by URBANALYSIS.
Wuronos replied that each task is closely tracked to insure project remains
within allocated budget.
Mr. Ferris asked if bid in proposal is a "not to exceed" price. Wuornos stated
cost would not exceed bid.
Don Spotts asked Wuornos for more information on a survey. Wuornos replied that
with assistance from city staff a survey could be done more cost efficiently.
Mr. Ferris asked Wuornos if URBANALYSIS typically does a mailer to survey
citizens when developing a Comprehensive Plan. Wuornos answered that the Elk
River Comp Plan work included a mailer. Ferris noted that the return on mailers
is usually quite low, typically 3 to 5%. Wuornos allowed that the Elk River
return fell within that range. He proposed doing a telephone follow-up to
survey using his firms interns to keep the cost down.

Wuornos was asked if it would be possible to reuse existing maps. Wuornos
replied that existing maps could be used, but they would be put in a different
format for overlays.
Wuornos asked to comment on the impending manufactured home park. He has
developed three mobile home parks and is of the opinion parks should be designed
to be least intrusive to surrounding community. The process used by
URBANALYSIS for design of a manufactured home park includes the following:
1) Identify site
2) Identify zoning and surrounding areas
3) Analysis
4) Composite
Wuornos showed commission drawings of a manufactured home park he designed that
is buffered from surrounding community by 30 feet of vegatation and includes
a large park, bike and walking trails, and ample access for police and fire
emergency vehicles.
A final question to Wuornos asked by Pease was "Why should we hire URBANALYSIS?"
Wuornos answered that his firm's strength lies in significantly higher academic
preparation than competition. URBANALYSIS couples a tremendous design back-
ground with a strong analysis background. Also, commission can be assured they
will have the partners working for them, rather than entry level planners.
o
Wuornos expressed regret that his partner was unable to meet with commission.
He explained to commission that URBANALYSIS had two scheduled commitments for
this evening.
Wuornos concluded by presenting commissioners with a handout on URBANALYSIS,
attached to minutes.
Urban Planning and Design John Voss outlined presentation to include background
information on:
project Team
Experience
Challenges and concerns in Andover
Planning Process
Planning Goals
The project team will consist of four people: John Voss, Project Coordinator
and principle Planner, Urban Planning and Design; John Davidson, Civil Engineer,
TKDA; Alvin Jublin, Landscape Architect, Urban Planning and Design, and
Jay Thomas Kirk, Environmental Engineer, TKDA.
Alvin Jublin graduated from Iowa State and has 30 years experience in landscape
architecture. Most of those years he has been associated with John Voss.

Community Center Development. Other experience includes soils analysis,
vegatation analysis, planning and design of over 100 parks, trail development
and wildlife habitat.

John Voss founded Urban Planning and Design in 1968. Prior to that, Mr. Voss
held positions as Planning Director for the city of Coon Rapids, Planning
Director for the city of Hopkins and Assistant City Planner for the city of
Bloomington. Urban Planning and Design has much experience working with 2nd
and 3rd tier suburbs. Urban Planning and Design began working for the city of
Apple Valley in 1968 when the population was less than 6,000. Apple Valley
now has a population of over 33,000. Urban Planning and Design has prepared
all Comp Plans in recent years for the city of Eagan. Urban Planning and Design
is planning consultant for the city of Dayton. Urban Planning and Design
has worked in excess of 50 communities. Mr. Voss feels the experience of
Urban Planning and Design working with "growth" suburbs is very relevant to
the city of Andover. Also, Mr. Voss has experience as an elected official,
having served on the Metropolitan Council Transportation Advisory Board,
was chairman of the Mosquito Control District, chairman of the Safety Zoning
,Board of Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport. Mr. Voss stated he is no longer serving
on these boards and devotes his time to Urban Planning and Design.
John Davidson, TKDA has a background in civil engineering for over 30 years.
He served as the first full time civil engineer for the city of Hastings,
and was Director of Public Works for 5 years with the city of Inver Grove Heights.
Currently he has worked for TKDA for the past 11 years and since that time has
been the direct contact for the city of Andover. He has worked with and studied
the urban service area for Andover.
Tom Kirk, Environmental Engineer has been actively involved with Mr. Davidson
in areas on sanitary and environmental needs.
Challenges for the community include developing an urban/industrial/rural balance.
Groundwater contamination is another area to be watched closely; Andover has a
high groundwater table.
Pollution problems relating to solid and hazardous waste once stored at salvage
yards is yet another area of concern.
Park land acquisition and development will be studied by Urban Planning and
Design. Park commission will be another part of the working team.
The process of putting plan together will involve a relationship between public,
Andover officials and Urban Planning and Design and TKDA. Mr. Voss stressed the
importance of public input. He suggests a survey be mailed to residents similar
to a survey successfully done by his firm when working with Inver Grove Heights.
Mr. Voss proposes "listening hours" where staff from Urban Planning and Design
would be available at city hall to answer questions one on one and speak to residents
who don't wish to voice their concerns at public meetings.
Another goal of Urban Planning and Design is to write Comp Plan so it can be
easily read and understood by residents of city.
In summary, planning goals are:
1) Working Document
2) Orderly Development

5) Quality living development
Mr. Ferris asked if the bid price ($44,400) in proposal is a "not to exceed"
price. Mr. Voss replied it is a not to exceed figure, but before committing
to that figure Urban Planning and Design would meet with task force/commission
to insure all services needed by the city are covered in that bid.
Don Spotts asked if Urban Planning and Design projections for Maple Grove and
Coon Rapids have been on track. Mr. Voss answered the Coon Rapids projections
were too long ago for Mr. Voss to accurately reply. The Maple Grove projections
are on track.
Bev Jovanovich asked what methods the city of Andover should use to best manage
projected population growth in the next five years. Mr. Voss answered that
two major areas would be establishment of lot sizes and determining areas for
expansion of MUSA. Other methods of management include implementation of
Comp Plan, development of ordinances and hiring a zoning code enforcement
officer.
Chairman Pease asked what Urban Planning and Design sees as the role the
Planning and Zoning Commission will have in process of development of Comp
Plan Update.
John Voss replied that the Planning Commission is charged with the Comprehensive
Plan. He feels the Planning Commission would be the lead agency in preparation
of Comp Plan Update. Most of Planning Commission's involvement would be centered
around adopting goals and policies. Planning commission would present plan
at public hearing and next to city council.
Pease questioned the role of city staff in update of plan. Mr. Voss answered
that on a daily basis Jay Blake will provide background information and staff
input.
Pease asked how city council will fit in. John Voss states city council must
be in accord with plan and that council members should sit in on meetings.
Mr. Ferris asked how Urban Planning and Design would deal with a controversy
such as manufactured home park. Mr. Voss realizes the importance of this issue.
His firm would supply commission with all possible information in order for
commission to make educated decisions. Information would cover such issues as
investment opportunities, and how appearance of park can be improved.
Don Spotts stated he does not want a Comprehensive Plan that is full of rhetoric.
Does Metropolitan Council look favorably on TKDA?
John Davidson answered that TKDA has had above average success with Met Council
when it comes to modification of urban service boundaries.

Don Spotts asked Voss to comment on mailed surveys.
should be short and simple, include a stamped reply
up. He states a 23% response to past mail surveys.
Mr. Voss replied surveys
envelope, and be followed
Spotts asked if Urban Planning and Design is receptive to door to door surveys.
Voss replied that method is very time consuming and expensive but obtains in-
depth results. unfortunately time and money would dictate that fewer households
be surveyed face to face.
d'Arcy Bosell asked what position Urban Planning and Design and TKDA hold on
process proposed by legislation that Comp Plan be law. Mr. Voss is opposed
to this legislation. He can not promise that an inflexible plan would be good
for life of plan.
Pease asked Voss what distinguishes his firm from others and why commission
should hire Urban Planning and Design and TKDA.
Voss replied that Urban Planning and Design has the technical ability and takes
the time to build confidence. 90% of this firms involvement has been in 2nd and
3rd tier suburbs, which is an ideal fit for Andover. Urban Planning and Design
has been in the business for over 20 years.
John Davidson stated that TKDA has years of past experience working with Andover.
He looks on Andover as a sleeping giant and feels TKDA can help "control"
development. Along with Urban Planning and Design, TKDA will develop a usable
plan that satisfies community at large.

BRW - William Weber gave presentation for BRW, a Minneapolis based firm specializing
in urban planning, landscape architect, urban design, traffic and civil
engineering. Weber holds a Master's degree in Urban Planning. He would manage
team under the direction of the Planning and zoning Commission, City Council,
city staff and residents of community. Mr. Weber would be assisted by BRW staff
as follows: Erik Ruehr, Traffic System; Bruce Miller, Utilities and Drainage;
and Frank Svoboda, Wetlands and Natural Elements.
BRW support services include word processing, in-house facilities for photo-
copying and offset printing, plus strong mapping and graphics design communication.
BRW has been involved in over 20 comp plans and is just completing a Comprehensive
Plan Update for the cities of Shakopee and Hopkins. BRW is familiar with current
Metropolitan Council requirements and procedures. Since 1978 Weber has been
Consulting Planner for the city of Vadnais Heights. He wrote their comp plan
and implements plan on a daily basis.
Weber feels it is inefficient to have another firm's engineer involved in process.
BRW has an in-house engineer who is familiar with road system in north metro area.
Weber stresses the importance of issue identification and conflict resolution.
BRW would build comp plan on issues. He feels the existing comp plan is
encyclopedic but not issue oriented. The BRW process is as follows:
C)
1) Identify issues
2) Establish objectives and policies
3) Develop physical plan
4) Implementation

BRW will place great importance on community participation and spend a lot of
time with neighborhood groups. Weber proposes producing a monthly newsletter
to keep residents informed and coming to meetings.
In 1980 Weber managed comp plan for city of Anoka.
Community opinion survey would be sought by BRW. Public communication is very
important and BRW will produce concise, easy-to-read text and readable maps.
BRW provides a detailed budget and has good internal project management.
Ferris asked Weber how BRW will spark public input and when in process will
public input be sought.
Weber replied that process will begin with a community meeting discussing what
is right and what is wrong in Andover, and what visions are for city. Based
on that information a survey will be designed to be mailed to 400 - 500 house-
holds. This would be part of the 1st step - Issue Identification.
Ferris asked if input would be sought from commercial interests.
Weber suggests 36 people on steering committee to represent wide area of interests.
Based on past experience he feels about half of committee members would attend
each meeting.
Don Spotts noted that BRW has very recent comp plan development experience.
Spotts asked if plans were rewritten or updated. Weber replied that old plans
were not used. Work involved writing of totally new plan.
Pease asked what role Planning and zoning commission would have in process.
Weber feels that entire Planning and Zoning Commission should be on steering
commission to provide ideas, help identify issues and react to material submitted
by BRW.
Pease asked what role city staff would have in process. Weber answered that budget
can be reduced by use of city staff. He would like to see Mr. Blake involved
as much as possible and noted that Mr. Blake would play an instrumental role
in community meetings.
Pease asked how city council would be involved. Weber replied that two or three
city council members should be part of steering committee. He warned that too
many council members on steering committee could tend to silence residents.
Spotts asked if Weber has been instrumental in presentation of comp plans to
Metropolitan Council. Weber replied that Met Council does not allow oral present-
ation.
Ferris asked what Weber sees as the 5 biggest issues faced by the city of Andover.
Weber listed issues as follows:
l) Relationship of housing within MUSA boundaries
2) Preservation of wetlands and woods
3) Creating a sense of community
4) Traffic control

5) Industry and Hazardous Waste
6) Dealings with Metropolitan Council
Pease asked Weber why commission should hire BRW.
Weber answered that he feels BRW has more recent experience in comp plans than
his competitors. He believes BRW can provide better graphics. Weber has day-
to-day experience (consultant to Vadnais Heights) in implementation of plan.
He feels BRW has the most experience in public communication. The fact that
BRW has a complete in-house team adds to their effectiveness. BRW wants to do
this job for city of Andover.
Weber concluded presentation by providing commission with hand out regarding
BRW. Copy attached to minutes.
At conclusion of presentations, commission began discussion of applicants.
Ron Ferris stated that URBANALYSIS ranked highest in his op1n1on. He feels it
was obvious they did their homework and presented commission with an impressive
list of issues. Drawback would be lack of experience with Met Council but Ferris
doesn't see this as a major issue.
Ferris has a concern with Urban Planning and Design in that TKDA is presently
employed as consulting engineers for the city of Andover and it would be difficult
to seek a second opinion on this project. He also feels TKDA had the best
opportunity to make presentation based on knowledge of city but failed to do so.
BRW has a lot of resources that outshine competition but their proposal seemed
disjointed to Ferris. Ferris felt proposal was generic in that issues could
pertain to any city. The strength of RW is their recent experience in several
comp plans.
Spotts stated he favors URBANALYSIS and pointed out that regardless of firm we
hire, TKDA will remain available to city.
Bev Jovanovich asked if it is really necessary to hire an outside firm to do
our Comprehensive Plan Update.
Jay Blake replied a project of this size would require at least 750 hours.
City staff is not adequate in size to do project. Blake feels budget reasonable
and by spending $40,000 up front, city will save money in long run.
Pease agreed with Blake adding that city needs input from outside sources.
Pease feels URBANALYSIS did homework and likes Wuornos' ideas on citizen
participation. She felt Urban Planning and Design did not clearly list issues.
She was concerned that BRW would take charge of project without proper regard
to city input. Pease favors URBANALYSIS.

Blake noted that Wuornos spent a great deal of time in community. His concern
is the limited amount of experience with Met Council. Although Blake was
disappointed in Urban Planning and Design presentation, he feels their past
experience with Grow Township is a plus and therefore favors Urban Planning
and Design.
Blake feels our project may not be priority with BRW. Pease did not feel a
36 person steering committee as recommended by BRW is feasible.
Ferris states the major issue facing Andover is how fast do we want the
community to grow.
Chairman Pease asked commissioners if they were prepared to make recommendation
to council.
Ferris stated he is prepared to make recommendation.
d'Arcy Bosell suggested commissioners review proposals and make comparison to
presentations. Recommendation could be tabled until next Planning and Zoning
commission meeting.
Don Spotts felt prepared to make decision at present meeting.
Bev Jovanovich preferred d'Arcy's suggestion to table decision pending further
study.
Rebecca Pease felt prepared to make her recommendation.

Commission make recommendation to Andover City Council to award contract for
Andover Comprehensive Plan Update to URBANALYSIS.
