SPECIAL MEETING PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
12 MAY 1988
The Special Meeting of the Andover Planning & Zoning Commission
was called to order at 7:30 pm by Chairman Marge Perry,
wednesday, May 12, 1988, at the Andover City Hall, 1685 NW
Crosstown Boulevard, Andover, MN.
Commissioners Present: Pease, Bernard, Bosell and Jacobson.
Commissioners Absent: Jovanovich, vistad.
Also Present: Daryl Morey, City Planner, and Todd Haas,
Assistant City Engineer.
Mining Permit Discussion: Our permit process is now the same as
Blaine's and what they presently use. Our application has been
modified to meet the needs of the City and is similar to Maple
Grove's.
Chairman Perry pointed out that Ham Lake's Ordinance specifically
addressed the vegetation issue and what could or could not be
done in regard to removing the top soil and vegetation.
Todd Haas pointed out that erosion control is very important in
other cities. Plymouth asks for $2,000.00 right up front for the
restoration of a preliminary plat.
The process of going directly to the City Council has been
corrected. Because the issuance of a mining permit requires a
Special Use Permit, the application must go through the P & Z.
This requires a public hearing and allows residents to make
comments on the project. The City wants to make sure that the
project is brought to completion and also the staff brings this
request to the City Council.
Such things as grades that the property will be left at are
important so an on-site system is allowed to be constructed,
allow reasonable use of the property by Ordinance No. 10, etc.
Chairman Perry thought that perhaps an amendment to Ordinance 10
would be more acceptable because it is a familiar ordinance
rather than trying to write a new ordinance. A retroactivity
statement should be included in the ordinance amendment so that
an existing use should be brought into compliance within x-number
of days (months, years).
Bill Bernard expressed concern about the person coming to City

Hall and knowing what's going on and that we have to make
available to that person the same information that the Planning
Commission gets. One thing is that that information might answer
some of the questions they might have. It was pointed out that
there is a full public record packet available in the rear of the
meeting room for each meeting and all of the information is
contained therein.
Marge Perry expressed concern as it pertains to the residents and
what happens around them. Their consideration seems to be
parochial and limited.
Ordinance No. 8 Discussion:
It was also considered that Ordinance No. 8 be amended to include
adding the definition of Hardship in Section 3.02 and also amend
Section 5.04 to include the criteria for a hardship as set out in
the State Statute. Also included could be the requirement that
variance notices be sent out to the effected property owners so
that the information is available to the neighbors in advance of
the meeting.
Section 4.24 should be amended to include the sections added to
the Mining Permit Application so that the ordinance and the
application match. The issue of extra material on a preliminary
plat should also be addressed.
ATV Ordinance:
It was agreed to incorporate some of the language from the State
Statute into the Ordinance so that the criteria is available up
front. It was also suggested that we include snowmobiles in the
proposed ordinance.
High Risk Sexual Conduct Ordinance:
The question was asked as to how many complaints had been
received and what the issues raised were? Daryl Morey asked the
Mayor for this information and his response was that it was
immaterial.
The Health & Human Services Department of Anoka county may be
able to help on this issue.

The consensus is that we don't have any real problems and do we
want to regulate something from happening when we don't even know
exactly what's happening?
Don Jacobson asked if Daryl Morey could look at making a steam
bath, etc. a Special Use in an Industrial District by Special Use
Permit and report back to the Planning Commission.
Ordinance No.8 Amendments (continued):
d) It was felt that the Ordinance should be amended to require
that lots be a minimum of 90 feet to accomodate the 3-car garage.
Also increase the corner lot back to 105 feet.
Don Jacobson brough~ up the lack of multiple-family housing
within the City and the fact that there was no place within the
City that would allow this type of development. Perhaps we
should look at adding this to the Ordinance to encourage the
development of such type of housing. The areas in the City that
could possibly be considered as multiple-family should be
reviewed and some recommendations made.
d'Arcy Bosell as Zoning Administrator will look at the present
ordinance and its districts and determine how it could be
accomplished under the present Ordinance.
It was agreed that we should have another work session with the
City Council after we have formulated some specific
recommendations to them.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:36 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
