ANOKA COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT MONTHLYREPORT Captain Tom Wells, Anoka County Sheriff's Department, provided an update on law enforcement activities occurring within Andover. CONSIDER AWARDING BID /08- 371157 AVENUE NW RECONTR UCTION (MSAS 102) Mr. Berkowitz stated the City Council is requested to receive bids and award the contract for Project 08 -37, 157 Avenue NW reconstruction (MSAS 102). Mr. Berkowitz reviewed the bid information with the Council. Mr. Mark Lipski, 629 157 Avenue, stated he has not been able to make it to any of the meetings previously because of his job and the only reason he is able to attend the meeting tonight is because he was just laid off. He appreciated the Council allowing him to speak at the meeting. He explained he has lived in Andover for many years and when he first moved in the road was a dirt road and Ham Lake was sand and gravel. He reviewed the history of the road with the Council. He stated they have had problems getting in and out of their driveway with the speeders. Mr. Lipski wondered why the County is routing truck traffic down their road and not down County © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes —April 21, 2009 Page 3 roads. He indicated this was the reason why the road is in such poor condition. He asked the City if there is something that could be done to make the truck traffic use the County roads instead of their road to go between the cities. He stated the road being fixed is not going to be a benefit to the residents on the road since it will deteriorate quickly with the truck traffic using it. He stated he would rather see the road go back to gravel so the trucks do not use it. He explained he will have to pay assessments for three properties and did not know how two more houses could be put on the property that the City says can create two additional lots. He noted there are not City water and sewer connections to the additional two lots. He wondered how this will benefit them. He also thought the County should shut down the access from Highway 65 to create less traffic on the road. Mr. Corell Mall, 375 157' Avenue NW, stated he was at the last meeting and was quite distressed over this entire thing. He stated the street is dangerous with the high speed and traffic. He stated he was surprised this road was a nine ton road and is being used as a shortcut to Highway 65. He thought the County destroyed this road with their heavy trucks. He wondered if the City realized how unfair they were being to the twenty -five residents. If they are going to be fair they should spread the cost over the entire County. Mayor Gamache stated one of the discussions they have had was looking at the current individual lots and not the possible lot splits. The thought process they are using is that the lot splits would be deferred for a period of time which would be determined by the Council. He stated another option is to reduce the assessment amount from the twenty -five percent, which is their policy, to something less than that. Councilmember Jacobson stated on a legal basis this is not an assessment hearing, this is considering awarding the bid and the assessment hearing will come in the fall when the project is done but he stated if the bid is accepted, the project will be done and when the assessment hearing is done in the fall he would be in favor of extending the assessment term from the current policy of eight years and extending it out to ten or twelve years. Also on the question of the other parcels that could be split he would be in favor of an expiration of twenty -five years if they are not developed and the decrease in value of ten percent each year after fifteen years. He is also thinking about reducing to a twenty percent assessment which would lessen the amount. He would consider this because of the traffic on the road and the things the residents have had to deal with. He stated this would be a major departure from their policy to lower their costs and to look at the bids at eighteen percent less than they thought and the interest rate at what it is he would be looking all at that in the fall for that assessment hearing. Councilmember Bukkila asked what is the minimum percentage they need to assess so the City can bond for street projects and what would happen if they did less than the minimum. Mr. Dickinson indicated the minimum was twenty percent and if they did less than that they would have to either © consolidate other projects into it that would bring them over the twenty percent barrier otherwise they would limit themselves into only being able to do their projects with cash flow the City has. Councilmember Bukkila agreed with Councilmember Jacobson and felt the road was definitely in need of repair. She would also recommend the twelve year assessment pay off. © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — April 21, 2009 Page 4 Councilmember Knight agreed and would be more in favor of fifteen to twenty percent because of the type of road this is and the surrounding developments that use it. He would be in favor of deferring the future lot split lots also. Mr. Lipski asked if it is possible to install a sign on the road indicating "no truck traffic, except local deliveries ". He asked if there is a way to have the City look into this to see if it is possible so their road does not need improvements all the time. Mayor Gamache stated they can have staff look into this since he has seen this elsewhere. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Bukkila, to approve the resolution accepting bids and awarding the contract to Rum River Contracting, Inc. in the amount of $382,500.50 for Project 08 -37, 157 "' Avenue NW Reconstruction (MSAS 102). Motion carried unanimously. (Resolution R035 -09) Mr. Dickinson indicated to the Council that staff would be bringing the assessment policy to a future workshop for review and modification based on this evenings discussion. © DISCUSS IIAWKRIDGE PARK IMPROVEMENTS /09 -18 Mr. Berkowitz stated the City Council is requested to discuss if the hockey rink/free skating is to remain at Hawkridge Park and discuss possible future improvements for the park. Mr. Berkowitz reviewed the project and costs with the Council. Councilmember Knight stated he would like to see the rink stay at the park and suggested they install a well in the park in order to flood the hockey rink. He thought it could be done if they think creatively. Councilmember Jacobson thought if they took away the warming house and attendant, saved some costs and kept the existing rink for one more year, he thought they could reduce their costs by doing that. He suggested carrying this over one more year to explore options to bring the costs down. He also suggested that the City look at the rinks at Crooked Lake Elementary, make an offer to the school they cannot refuse and have the school flood the rink. In the one year they are looking at extending at Hawkridge, in that time they could look at a possible new layout of the park and meet with the different Associations and residents to see how it could be reconstructed to the best possible use. Councilmember Bukkila agreed with keeping the Hawkridge ice rink open and was hesitant to take away anything that has been there a long time. She thought meeting with some of the © organizations and figuring out how to make it work is a good idea. Councilmember Knight asked if they would need an eight inch well. Mr. Berkowitz stated it would probably need to be a large well. He stated North Metro Soccer Association has stepped up indicating they are willing to work with the City on reconstruction of the park to include more © Regular Andover° City Council Meeting Minutes — April 21, 2009 Page 5 soccer fields. Mr. Ted Butler, Chair of the Park Commission, stated they had a great turn out and discussion at the meeting with the residents and the consensus by them was to keep the rink at the park. He stated the Commission recognized the City needs to trim back the budget in certain areas but they want to make sure they recognize it is important in order to have a healthy and vibrant community they need to have a variety of activities available around the City and not necessarily in a central location within the City. The Commission decided unanimously to move forward with some preliminary designs and he is happy to hear they are coming along already for potential redesign of the park and that will allow North Metro Soccer to come forward with some ability to provide some resources in helping to redevelop the park. He stated there is also talk about irrigating the park in the future and that would help and if there would be a way to get a well in there at some point that will alleviate the cost of trucking water there for the hockey rink and will also allow soccer to have some better fields at the park. Councilmember Knight stated this came up a few years ago about Oak Grove going in with Andover on providing a well up there and he did not think there was a response from Oak Grove © in regard to this but he assumed there was a number of Oak Grove families using the rink. Mr. Bill Caras, 4826 232 Avenue NW, President of the St. Francis Youth Hockey Association stated he is at the meeting to show his support regarding the Hawkridge Park facility. He stated there are roughly 23 skaters coming out of Oak Grove right now and their association would like to offer labor to move the rink to a new location when the park is reconstructed to keep the rink open. Mayor Gamache stated at this time the Council needs to decide if they want to keep the rink at Hawkridge and Mr. Dickinson needs to balance the budget. He did talk to the principal at Crooked Lake Elementary School and he asked her about the ice rink and she said they do not. use it that often but it is used by the neighborhood around the school. Mr. Dickinson stated they need to curb costs and looking forward they do have the ability to tax but they want to be cognizant of the ability to pay of the residents. The City is coming up on their market value board of review shortly and they do know across the City they are looking at a total market value reduction of between ten and eleven percent so for them to maintain a consistent tax rate will be virtually impossible based on that amount of reduction in market value. Councilmember Knight thought there may need to be some volunteerism from the neighborhood. Mr. Caras stated if they could get a cost estimate of what it would cost to getting a warming house built at the park he could get the labor to do that and also possibly donated lumber for that. Mr. Tony Howard, 2119 156` Avenue, representing the Andover Huskies Youth Hockey Association stated he would like to help out. He did not see why his members can't attend to the warming houses. They have volunteer hours that need to be made up as part of the hockey Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — April 21, 2009 Page 6 association and this would cut costs on the attendant part of it and keep the facility open there. He would like to see the warming house stay since it is almost a necessity. He stated that whatever they can do to save money for the City they will work on it. Councilmember Bukkila stated with getting into the major projects, it is something they need to build on slowly and not get to the end of the project and find out they need more money than expected. It is all about cost savings. Councilmember Jacobson stated unless they see some cost savings this coming winter they are going to have a problem and any savings will have to be shown before the winter skating season. He thought that by removing the warming house, skating attendants and look at whatever else can be done for cost savings would be the ideal thing to do. Mr. Dickinson suggested removing warming house attendants from all City rinks. Mr. Berkowitz stated by removing the warming house and attendant is a start but they still have a long way to go. They will meet with the hockey associations to see what can be done but the City has no money to put forward. CONSIDER VARIANCE/ MAXIMUMACCESSORYSTRUCTURESQUAREFOOTAGE 13443 135 TH AVENUE NW Mr. Neumeister stated the applicant is seeking approval for a variance to allow an existing shed to exceed the maximum square footage area allowed by 144 square feet for the combination of existing accessory structures. Mr. Neumeister reviewed the information with the Council. Mr. Tim Christianson, 3443 135 Avenue NW, stated when he got the permit for the garage he asked if he could file a variance and was told he could not. He figured he would only have to take down half of the shed when he built the garage and then found out later that he could file a variance in order to try to keep the entire shed. He noted that there is not a hardship but there is no other venue for him to bring this before the Council. He stated he is improving his part of the neighborhood and there have not been any complaints. He did not know how it could be hurting the City to have the shed there. He stated the items in his shed cannot be stored outside. Mr. Christianson asked for clarification of some wording in the code regarding sheds and attached garages. Mr. Neumeister stated he would need to look at the Code to see what section it is in before he could comment. ® Mayor Gamache thought both structures are nice structures but since the Code does not allow this they need to find a hardship in order to grant a variance and there does not seem to be one. Councilmember Jacobson stated in October 2007 Mr. Christianson wrote a letter indicating he Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes —April 21, 2009 Page 7 would remove the shed when the garage was built and he wondered what changed. Mr. Christianson stated he found out he only had to take 144 square feet off the shed so he thought why should he take the entire shed down and if the City made him he would take off 144 square feet. Councilmember Jacobson asked if it would satisfy the storage needs if 144 square feet was removed from the shed. Mr. Christianson stated he would rather not remove the 144 square feet and the shed is solid and cost a lot to build. He stated if the 144 square feet had to come off he would have to find some other storage system on the property. Councilmember Knight asked if a condemned house and renovations are considered a hardship. City Attorney Baumgartner stated it is not. Councilmember Bukkila wondered if the shed needed to be of the same exterior materials as the house and garage. Mayor Gamache did not think it needed to be. Councilmember Bukkila thought the shed dimensions should be reduced. © Mr. Neumeister and Mr. Dickinson reviewed the City Code with the Council and indicated the accessory building is not serving to satisfy the garage requirements. Mr. Christianson stated his attached garage is serving that purpose. Discussion continued between the Council and the applicant in regard to granting a variance. Councilmember Jacobson stated the hardship he could claim is there is a lack of storage space but under State Statute that is not considered a hardship. A resident asked how they could get the City Ordinance changed to allow more square footage on buildings. Mayor Gamache reviewed the process. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Bukkila, to deny the resolution for a variance with the following modification to the Now Therefore it be Resolved to say "it shall be removed or modified to meet the requirements of the ordinance ". Motion carried unanimously. (Resolution R036 -09) PUBLIC HEARINGIVACATION OF EASEMENT/LOTS 5-9, BLOCK 1, WOODLAND CROSSINGS The applicant is seeking to vacate the drainage and utility easements on five single family lots as a ® part of the process to create six detached townhouse lots within this development. Mr. Neumeister reviewed the information with the Council. Motion by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson, to open the public hearing. Motion carried Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — APril 21, 2009 Page 8 unanimously. No one wished to address the Council. Motion by Knight, Seconded by Bukkila, to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson, to approve the proposed vacation of drainage and utility easement subject to the conditions of the attached resolution. Motion carried unanimously. (Resolution R037 -09) CONSIDER PRELIMINARYPLAT AND PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTIWOODLAND CROSSING 2 ND ADDITION This preliminary plat follows from the sketch plan previously reviewed by the Planning Commission and Council. The proposed plat would convert five of the existing single family lots to six detached townhouse lots as shown on the plan set. The developer has indicated that these lots would be added to the existing homeowners association which would provide maintenance of the lots. Mr. Neumeister reviewed the information with the Council. Councilmember Jacobson stated one of the provisions in the resolution is in regard to building design and materials. They talked about that when they came in originally so that the houses did not look like all cookie cutter homes and the developer was going to do some design changes so they looked different. He was hoping they would be more different than what was presented and looked pretty much the same as before. He is a little worried about that. He stated they talked about colors of siding and it does not currently mention anything about that. Mr. Byron Westlund, Woodland Development, stated they did not know how to present the colors. They met with the siding company and have various colors with new ones coming out. He stated they will make sure the front elevations will be differentiated so the same colors are not side by side. Councilmember Bukkila stated she was expecting to see different brick color and different siding options. There is nothing in writing which was previously requested by Councilmember Jacobson. Mr. Westlund stated they can bring in the color scheme for review. Councilmember Jacobson stated he did not have a problem with the way it is described but would like it in © writing. Mr. Dickinson thought Item 9 in the resolution could be modified to talk about the differentiation in the units. Mr. Neumeister agreed and thought the wording should read "The approval by ARC shall be required so there will be distinguishable differences in architectural design of colors Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes —April 21, 2009 Page 9 between buildings" and leave it up to ARC to review. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to approve the proposed preliminary plat with the understanding under Item 9 that the intent is that the differentiation talked about is to allow difference between each structure in terms of brick and non - brick, colors so that they are not "cookie cutter" looks to the homes. Motion carried unanimously. (Resolution R038 -09) CONSIDER CONDITIONAL USEPERMIT/PUBLIC UTILITYIMPROVEMENTS 115920 7 7H AVENUE NW & 14361 7 TH AVENUE NW Northern Natural Gas will be installing equipment to allow inline inspection of the integrity of the natural gas pipeline between these two properties as required by the Federal Government. This project is similar to the one that was constructed near Prairie Knoll Park in 2004. The improvements will allow Northern Natural Gas to send equipment between the sites verify the integrity of the natural gas pipeline on an ongoing basis. Councilmember Jacobson thought there needed to be more landscaping at both sites. He thought putting slats in was a good idea and also some trees should be planted to break it up. Mr. Leland Mann, 1650 West 82 " d , Bloomington, stated they will provide screening based on discussions with staff in the form of slats in the fence and plantings. Motion by Knight, Seconded by Bukkila, to approved the proposed conditional use permit. Councilmember Jacobson asked if they could amend the motion to state in Item 4 of the Resolution to add "Trees shall also be planted to screen the facility as approved by staff'. Mayor Gamache stated they have something already regarding evergreen trees in Item 3 of the Resolution. Councilmember Jacobson stated he would like to add"... as approved by staff 'in Item 3 of the Resolution instead. The Motioner and seconder accepted the amendment. Motion carried unanimously. (Resolution R039 -09) CONSIDER CITY CODEAMENDMENT /CHANGES TO CITY CODE 12 -2 -2 DEFINITIONS, 12 -8 -6 CONDITION USE PERMIT FOR EXTERIOR STORAGE, 12 -12 TABLE OF PERMITTED, CONDITIONAL & PROHIBITED USES, 12-13-3 EXTERIOR STORAGE, AND 12 -13 -5 SCREENING After discussing enforcement action pertaining to exterior storage on properties with the City Attorney, staff has discovered inadequacies in the ordinance which brings this draft amendment before the Council. Staff is recommending the following amendments to the City Code © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — April 21, 2009 Page 10 pertaining to exterior storage. The proposed amendments do not change the intent of the current ordinance as currently written and are mainly suggested for clarification purposes of when and where exterior storage is allowed as outlined in the staff report. Mr. Neumeister and City Attorney Baumgartner reviewed the proposed code changes with the Council. There was discussion regarding how to enforce completion of an improvement where a building permit is pulled. It was determined the code language presented was appropriate. Mr. Neumeister stated in item 4 they added a catch all at the end of the sentence which reads "unless parked entirely upon the required driveway or in an enclosed garage or storage building no more than a combination of two of the following may be stored in a yard and not closer than ten feet from the property line (none of which shall exceed twenty feet in length) He stated the old sentence was hard to read and understand. Mayor Gamache left the meeting at 9:23 p.m. Mr. Neumeister stated staff made suggestions related to screening of exterior storage that differ from a historical perspective. Staff has clarified that screening shall be visible at ground level in relation to exterior storage. The intent being that a property would be considered to be in compliance when exterior storage is adequately screened from a neighboring property and a public street, both visible at ground level. Mr. Neumeister explained to the Council the reason for the suggested change. Mayor Gamache returned to the meeting at 9:27 p.m. Ms. Ann Borak, 2786 141 Avenue NW, stated they have neighbors next to them where they can see into their backyard with what they consider trash. She stated the neighbors have cleaned up somewhat since Ms. Perera visited. She thought it was right that the neighbors should have clean presentable backyards that can be seen from all angles and levels. Photos were shown by Ms. Borak of the neighbor's property. Ms. Borak felt it is important to keep the backyard neat and to get rid of garbage and pick up after dogs. Mr. Neumeister stated the resident will be getting a letter in regard to the dog kennel being to close to the neighbor's yard but everything else seems to be in compliance. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to adopt the ordinance as proposed by staff and in the screening section they authorize staff to take a look at that to see if there is anything else they should be looking at and bring it back to the Council for further discussion. Motion carried unanimously. (Ordinance 380) Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to adopt the summary ordinance that will be published © ,Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes —April 21, 2009 Page 11 in the Anoka Union. Motion carried unanimously. (Ordinance 380 Sununary) CONSIDER RESOL UTION OPPOSING ANOK4 CO LINTY HRA LEVY Mr. Dickinson stated the Anoka County HRA is considering implementing a County -wide HRA levy in 2010. When the County created an HRA in 1994 the decision was made to only levy in those communities that did not have a City HRA. The County HRA currently levies in Bethel, Centerville, Columbia Heights, Columbus, East Bethel, Hilltop, Lexington, Linwood Township, Nowthen, Oak Grove, Ramsey, Spring Lake Park and St. Francis. Councilmember Jacobson stated if the County does this they could levy up to a quarter of a million dollars. Mr. Dickinson stated they looked at this a few years ago and the dollar amount they could levy against Andover was about $280,000. Based on the current County HRA intent he has not calculated what that impact would be, but it could probably be above $250,000 if the HRA maxed it out. City Attorney Baumgartner stated he had two problems with this, one is he is not convinced that they could do what they are alleging that they are entitled to do. He stated he has gone through this multiple times and it seems that the language set forth in the Statute is clear and what the Legislature meant. He stated the resolution says that the City is not convinced that the lawyer for the HRA has shown enough legal authority to set forth that position and he still felt that way. The other problem he had is that the fact this had been discussed back in 1996, this opinion came up in January 2008 and at no time was he aware that any City was invited to the table to discuss this. He thought the best way to look at this and discuss it is to have all the cities impacted combining their efforts. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Bukkila, to approve the Resolution opposing the Authority of the Anoka County Housing and Redevelopment Authority to Levy Special Benefit Taxes in the City of Andover and authorize staff to send a copy to the Anoka Union and Star Tribune. Councilmember Jacobson stated if they are at risk to levy everything it would be well worth it to spend some of that money on to fight this and possibly take them to court. Motion carried unanimously. (Resolution R040 -09) CONSIDER APPOINTING ANDOVER BOARD OFREVIEWALTERNATES © In the unlikely event there may be difficulty in achieving a quorum for the City of Andover Board of Review on April 23` the City Administrator is requesting the City Council consider appointing the following Planning and Zoning Commission Commissioners as alternates to the City of Andover Board of Review: Regular ^Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — April 21, 2009 Page 12 Mike Casey Valerie Holthus Dean Daninger Motion by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson, to appoint the aforementioned individuals as alternates to the City of Andover Board of Review for the April 23, 2009 meeting.
