North Central Public Service Public Hearing/Special Use Permit (Comm. #4-79-4) Chairperson Bosell opened the public Hearing. Ward Foss, North Central Public Service - Mr. FOBS stated that they would like to get a Special Use Permit to install a metal building at their propane-air plant located on North 7. The building will be approximately .36 feet by 60 feet. It will be within the fenced area that is back about 800 feet from 7th Avenue. The building would be used for storage of warm equipment so that it n (I Planning and Zv.dng Commib_on Meeting May 22, 1979 - Minutes Page 2 r"\ 0 ~-/ o (North Central Public Service Public Hearing cont I d.) will start in the winter time, and also be used for some light repairing. He would like to have the building constructed this year, ready ~or use by fall. There were no questions or cornments by the commission. No questions or cOlllll1ents by anyone in the audience. Motion by Kishel, Seconded by Lobb for the Public Hearing on the Special Use Permit for North Central Public Service to be closed. Motion carried unanimously.

Motion by Kishel that the Andover Planning and Zoning COIIIIlIission recollllllend approval of the Special Use Permit for North Oentral Public Service Company to construct a J6 foot by 60 foot metal pole building on their property located at approximately 60 feet back frOlll future 143rd lane for the follOWing reasons: 1) The property currently' has existing storage tanks and a small metal building already on the property and the new building is over 800 feet frOlll the centerline of 7th Avenue, which is almost out of sight from 7th Avenue due to terrain. 2) The proposed building would not be visually offensive to the neighborhood. 3) A public hearing was held and no opposition was voiced. 4) The pr~osed use is not detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the public. 5) It's not inCOMPatible to the comprehensive plan. Motion seconded by Lobb. Motion carried unanimously. This lIill go to the City Council at the June 19th meeting. Andrew Knoll Lot Split (Cemm. #5-79-2) Andrew Knoll, 15851 Round Lake Boulevard - Ml-. Knoll would like to sell part of his property to his brother, but keep his house and sor.!.e acreagl!_ The Commission advised Ml-. Knoll that one thil1i he will have to have done before this would go before the City Council, is to have a legal description of each piece of property. The Commission thought that the smaller piece of property would meet the two and a half acre requirement, but that the frontage would be 297 feet. The Commission also advised Mr. Knoll to have the sketch and the legal descriptions before the City Council would review it. Ml-. Inoll was also advised that there would be a $100 park fee assessed to the piece of property that would be less than five acres. Chairperson Bosell stated that it Ml-. Knoll gets this done right away, the Commission will review it once again and then it will go before the City Council prObably the first week in July. The Commission will see Mr. Knoll again in two weeks. No one was in the audience at this time representing the lQ.atke matter or the Ron Smith matter. () Robert Gilson Vai'iance - (Cemm. #5-79-4) Robert Gilson, 1.l417 Utah Avenue, Champlin, Minnesota - Ml-. Gilson owns a lot in Woodridge Acres which he has sold tObuild a new house on if he can extend the street to make a driveway. The street lias never completed in front of his property. ,---,\ \J 'j Planning and L.ung CommiC)on Joileting May 22, 1979 - Minutes Page 3 (Robert Gilson Variance cent' d.) Commissioner Lobb stated that he lives four houses from the lot which Mr. Gilson owns, and after talk:i.ng with the neighbors there, Lobb says that they would not like to see the street extended. The neighbors like the way they are isolated now. i'\ 0 '....../ Mark SChumacher, TImA - stated that apparently these streets were never accepted by the City of Andover. Mark's suggestion was to come out of the lot or driveway, similar to Mr. Gilson'S sketch, and then have the driveway turn and come into the existing Quinn Drive, a minimum of 25 feet from the other driveway. Motion by Okerlund, Seconded by Kishel, that the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission recoll1lllend to the City Comci1 that they grant the variance to Robert Gilson for allowing a driveway from Lot 1, Block 2 of Woodridge Acres. The reason for the variance is a hardship due to the fact that Quinn Dri va was never constructed as indicated on the map. The driveway would have to be built to City standards, i. e. organic mataoia1 removed, sui table fill. The driveway abutting with Quinn Drive on the turn, minimum of 25 feet from the driveway on Lot 2, Block 2. This driveway would be temporary until such a time that Quinn Drive is extended as indicated on the map. This variance would not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare for the people of the City of Andover. 11; is in compliance wi th the Comprehensive Plan. Discussion: Commissioner Kishe1 stated that we are varying from the street stan- dards (Ordinance 8, Section 3.02 and Ordinance 8, Section &.04). Commissioner Okerlund felt that it should be mentioned that the purpose of the variance is to build a driveway on a dedicated street that was not accepted by the City at the time of the plat, which was 1966. Also, the proposal has been reviewed by TICDA and they approve of the basic concept due to the circumstances. Mark Schumacher asked that Mr. Gilson revise his drawing to show exactly what we want to come in there. Motion carried unanimOUSly. This will go to the City Council on June 19th. Recess at 8:45 p.m., reconvened at 8:55 p.m. Commissioner Retzlaff was present at this time. o Chairperson Bosell opened the public hearing. Lawrence B. Carlson, 17750 Aztec St. N.W., Anoka - informed everyone that he has been here two or three times before, and he has met with the Park Commission two times and has also had the City engineers look over the plans and llI9t with the attorneys of the City. He advised that the reason for the rezoning and the special use permit is that the legal counsel for the City recommended that this would be the best way to handle what he is requesting. Mr. Carlson pointed out that there would be an area he would be calling twin homes, and noted that the reason for part of the variance is that the City does not have any criteria in its zoning and planning that covers any type of development of this nature. Mr. Carlson stated that the land area for each dwelling, the park, and every- thing is done in accordance with the standards set forth under the plan unit development of M;"l or M-2 zoning. He also noted that this will protect the value of the surrounding homes. There lIould be a little league softball diamond put in which coo1d also be a mini football field. There would be a holding pond n (-) Planning and i_.-kg Commi.~on Meeting May 22, 1979 - Minutes Page 4 () 0 r) (Woodland Terrace Public Hearing cont' d.) ~I which the Park Commission has not seen, although Mr. Carlson has talked with the engineer and he did suggest that this be proposed. There lIould be a picnic area, with some off street parldng. Some of this would be done by the City and some by Mr. Carlson. One of the variances would be 13Jrd Lane N.W. that extends more than 500 feet. Chairperson Bosell brought up the issue at this time that people that are presently living on Lilly Street do not have any mail service and that perhaps 133rd could extend to tie into Lilly Street. Mr. Carlson stated that this is not in agreement with the legal counsel. From Mr. Carlson's stand- point he would lose a very valuable lot, but it was sUl;gested that the City shmld construct that street. The second variance, the block length of Narcissus exceeds 1320 feet. Mr. Carlson stated that they asked a representd.tive of the church, ~ and the church representitive said that they have no intention of subdividing their property. Chairperson Bosell asked if the engineers were aware of the .1' 17 neighbors viewpoint when the church property was dealt. with, that they did not t.j want that street extended. Engineer Davidson stated that they were aware of the problem, however, the continUity of the street system in the area there is a very serious laek of access to the estates area generally. There could be some possibilities with the plat which would preserve the idea of access without making it concrete. This would be something to consider as a part of the plat. The next variance Mr. Carlson dealt with was the fact that the park dedication is less than 10 percent. It is more in the area of 8 or 8 and a half percent. Commi.ssioner Okerlund asked Mr. Carlson if he intends to put up fences along the walkway to keep people off of the lots. Mr. Carlson stated that this would be up to the Park Committee, but definitely to have a clear line so that you could distinguish the walkway from the lots. Mr. Carlson went on to say that the reason for the variance request under the special use permit relates to putting the houses together, side by side, so that you have a common wall. The minute you do this, it exists on a lot line so we have to then request a variance from the side yard set backs and the rear yard set backs. The quad home designed building is 28 by 44 for 1,056 square feet per floor. They will have tuck under garages, but the finished area would be 1450, 1500 square feet per home. &st' likely they probably will go bigger than this. The proposed twin home is really not much different than the quad home. The next thing noted lias that Lot 64 is larger than the others. Chairperson Bosell asked that the engineers review their letter to Mr. Carlson. Mark Schumacher, TImA - First, Poppy and Narcissus streets do not have ten;>orary cul-de-sacs on the south bmndry of the property as required. Mr. Carlson stated that this is intended. Mark went on to say that the recommendation of l35th Avenue N.W., it depends on your configuration of the street. You will either restrict traffic or you will have a lot of traffic into there. Item C, there appears that there will be no problem with the street curve data although the engineers do like to see them t9. make sure that they conform to their requirements. Item D, the develope'l$hould submit the total street acreage for the purpose of calculating the total number of allowable lots under Section 905 of Ordinance 10 which is for sewer and watered areaa. There is !~) some trouble here with quad and multiple dwelling lots. You may end up with \....- more lots and there may need to be a variance. The cul-de-sac at Marigold and IJ4th Lane and Avenues are shown as 50 foot radius to the property line rather than the 60 foot radius as called for in the ordinance. The developer should provide a letter from the county engineer with his comments on the true proposed accesses on County Road 16. The City would like to monitor the total 1 \...j () '-.....-. Planning and L.}ng COmmi(~ Meeting () 0 May 22, 1979 - Minutes Page 5 (Woodland Terrace Public Hearing conti d.) mileage and lengths of new streets periOdically. So the developer should provide the total length of streets in the preliminary plat. Mark also stated that he did not lmow who recommended a pond on park property. Maybe this would be a holding pond he thought. Mr. Davidson added that Anoka is in the process of constructing an outlet storm sewer which at this point would be undersized for this area. Mark went on reviewing the letter, the next item was on the drainage. The north would probably have to drain to the north and the south would probab]y have to drain to the southwest. Mark noted that there is no current water supply in the area. There has been some discussion on private systems for the residents of this plat or connecting to a syr>>tem ot Good Value Homes pr~aec:t. As far as sanitary sewer, trunk sanitary is available. Chairperson Bosell asked Mr. Carlson in reference to Item Bo. 4 ot the letter on page 2 which refers to water supply, the City ordinances require that multiple dwellint;s have city water, private water. There has been no proposal for this. Mr. Carlson stated that the cost for a water system to serve the area is totally prohibitive. Right now he is looking at private wells throughout the area which would also be a request for a variance. Mr. Carlson questioned the item in the letter referring to a road through the Assembly of God Church property. It was suggested that possibly extend Maril!:old up to the north of the property line between lots 39 and 40, so that the potential for 135th to come through and line up with Marigold so you would allow for a future connection. Mr. Carlson felt that lD was eliminated under Ordinance laC. The Commissioners did agree that the 13,000, 15,000 average has been deleted. Mark agreed that this was an error on his part. Commissioner Retzlaff called on the rest of the Commission to refer to Ordinance 8, Page 10, Subparagraph 7.01. Larry Retzlaff was looking for a amendment under R4, single tamily urban district. Commissioner Retzlaff read from. the Ordinance, Section 7, Permitted Uses, subsection R4 single family urban district, "Private sewer and water systems shall only be permitted on nery third lot or no more frequent]y than one system for each 39,000 square feet where large lots are established. This shall not apply to lots of record at the time this ordinance is adopted. On each new plot the lots to be developed in accordance with this section shall be so designated. n Retzlaff asked if this plot is talking about private water, are we ta.l1d.ng about the designation of every third lot? Chairperson Basell noted that under multiple dwellings, each unit needs to have its own samtary water and sewer. There are two basic problems, first, if you go R4 ZOning without water, you are going to every third lot buildable and if you are looking at multiple dwellings they are not permitted without water. There was much discussion among the Commission and the engineers of the proposed wells that Mr. Carlson would be putting in. Cost, depth, health and safety were all considered. Commissioner Retzlaff suggested three options that he sould see: 1) They could put in the wells and just meet the ordinances as stated; 2) Require a deeper well into the Jordan (an aqua for a water bearing strata of rock); 3) It is not practical to put that many well systems in this area and that a public water system wwld be required. Chairperson Boseil noted Item 5A in the letter, Mr. Carlson should understand that the sanitary sewer needs to be extended to the property line. At this time the microphone was open to the audience. Marey Peltzer, representing the Assembly of God Church - asked if the council would require that the service road in Meadow Creek be extended. Mark Schumacher responded by saying that at this time they weren't looking at extending the road. John Davidson commented that Assembly of God had a petition in their official plan that this be extended. /1 ') Planning and ~_ g Commit_on Meeting May 22, 1979 - Minutes Page 6 () (---... U ) (Woodland Terrace Public Hearing ccnt'd.) ~~ Mr. Peltzer also inquired about if the church will have to screen any area. Mr. Carlson replied by saying that they will not since this area will have trees and schrubs. Mr. Carlson also noted that the area will be maintained much better than the normal neighborhood. Chairperson Bosell asked Mr. Peltzer what the feeling of the church is about the possible l35th going through the church's property. Mr. Peltzer replied by saying that right now their feeling is not to have l35th go through the property but that they were looking at some alternatives. Linda Roberts ha 135'th Avenue - stated that she is not really against Woodland Terrace but t t she feels there is not adequate parking and that the only access on 135'th would give a lot of traffic. She is concerned about her four children and feels that there should be additional parking nearer the proposed ball diamonds. She is against the pond because she feels that this would be a hazard to the children. Gerald Girard, 3442 - 13Mh Lane, Cha~' s Addition - Mr. Girard feels that the way the park is proposed at this t me is going to bring all vehicle traffic through Chapman'S Addition. He doesn't feel that the parking is adequate at all. All traffic that this park will generate will be coming in on 135'th Avenue and Iane. Mr. Girard states that these are quiet, residential, sand streets with lots and lots of children. He feels that this will be a serious safety problem with all the children. It would kick up much more dust than they already' have. He likes the idea of a park and feels it will be an asset to the neighborhood, however, the people of Chapman's Addition will have to bear the complete brunt of all vehicle traffic. As far as the pond is concerned, Mr. Girard feels that he should have some assurance that this pond will not be a safety hazard to the small children. If it would be a safety hazard, he would ask that a fence be erected around it. Chairperson Bosell asked the Commission if they could give the developer some direction at this time. She stated that the water has been covered, and would like to have Mr. Carlson pursue the access out of Meadow Creek Estates. She suggested that maybe Mr. Carlson could get together with the Assembly of God Church people and maybe make a joint effort on an additional access out of the back of that property. Marnelle Wilber, 35'10 - 136th Lane N.W. - was concerned that the baseball diamond will draw much more traffic than thought. She is concerned about other teams using this area, as well as families and friends. There just isn't enough parking she feels. Mr. Carlson stated that this will not draw any other teams since the diamond will be used for little league. As far as other people using the park, that is the purpose of it. /''l , , Mayor Windschitl, 2312 Coon Creek Drive - questioned how this plan. has gotten this far without the service road. He stated that there was a special use permit that the service road would be built since the property next to it is commercial area. The Mayor stated that this is something that should be either agreed or disagreed with before Mr. Carlson spends more money and time on this. The Commission was aware of this but hasn't gotten to the Collll1lission's questions. O (""\ Planning and Z g Commi~--,,>n Meeting May 22, 1919 - Minutes Page 1 o o U (Woodland Terrace Public Hearing cont' d.) Russ Sabinsky, Chapman's Fifth Addition - feels that with the gas Shortage that families are going to be closer than before and that this park is going to be used greatly by all surrounding neighbors as well as Woodland Terrace residents. He likes the idea of the park but feels that the parking facilities as proposed are illogical. He feels that there should either be two parking lots IIBde or make the one proposed much larger. He would like to recommend that if this park comes into being where proposed, that signs be put up as to whether they can park on the street or not. Mr. Sabinsky inquired as to when they propose a park, do they have a per capita amount of people that would be the maximum useage for the park. Mr. Carlson stated that Woodland Terrace reSidents, Chapman's Addition and also Meadow Creek Estates were included as being potential users. Chairperson Bosell asked for any COIll!llEllts or questions on the part of the Commission. Commissioner nshel questioned the corner lots not having a radius of 20 feet. Chairperson Bosell stated that this would be completed in the final drawing. Commissioner Lobb said that he feels there should be additional parking on the other side. He also thinks that the pond is a bad idea with tots and Idds around. He feels that Mr. Carlson should look into the idea of the access to the Meadow Creek Estates, and also consider the over 500 foot cul-de-sac. Commissioner Retzlaff brought up the service road along Bunker Lake Boulevard and the extension of that in front of the Assembly of God Church and in front of this plat as a continuation from Meadow Creek Estates should be done at this time. Retzlaff also questioned the outlot in the lower left-hand corner of the plat. John Davidson advised the Commission the area would be designated perhaps as a drainage easement, but it is intended to be used as a constructed holding pond. Chairperson Bosell advised Mr. Carlson that he incorporate the service rOad into the plat. It was agreed that the 15 feet that Mr. Carlson has is not consistent with what is to the east of it .for the service road. Chairperson Bosell dealt with some specifics to give Mr. Carlson an idea in which direction he will have to go. The wnter issue needs to be addressed and the Commission has requested that. The City attorney must deal with the fact of lOC, does that repeal the provisions of Ordinance 8, Section 101 as it talks about water on every third lot. Incorporate a service road into the plat. As far as the park, pond and that parking, this should be dealt with by the Park Commission and then referred back to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Also the possibility or a walkliay somewhere off of 135th Lane N.W. o Chairperson Basell stated that the public hearing on this issue will be continued to June 12th so that Mr. Carlson can get the proper documentaticn together and finalize the plans. Recess at ll:52 p.m., reconvened at 12:05 p.m. Strawberry Commons Public Hearing!Rezoning (Comm. #5-19-1) Chairperson Bosell opened the public hearing. Delano Skeim opened by asking the Commission if there are;:ne:ious objections to the consept. Commissioner Lobb asked if this is where he figures his trade area will be. Skeim answered by saying yes, approximately three and a half to four miles. Lobb also asked if Mr. Skeim realizes that there are approximately eight other stores located in this area. Mr. Skeim stated that these are baSically convenience stores, and that his store will be a full-service grocery along with the other businesses that are noted in the feaSibility study. Planning and zOng Commi.(~bn Meeting May 22, 1979 - Minutes Page 8 o o C) (Strawberry Commons Public Hearing/Rezoning cont' d.) Mr. Skeim says that land has been donated and that there will be a median, with left turn lanes to service the industrial park and subsequently will service the commercial area. He also feels that as the area develops that there will be ei ther a stop sign or traffic rendering device at County Roads 9 and 20, which will slow the traffic dOlilIl. The grocery store proposed will have 15,000 square feet. Mr. Skeim says that Super Valu is presently looking at the property. Commissioner Okerlund had some concern about .,the traffic. He states that the 162nd Lane is coming out and then there is an access to the center about 400 feet down the road, and inquired if Mr. Skeim thinks this will be a problem. Skeim replied by saying that it is logical because it is directly opposite to the entrance into the industrial park. The road coming out into the residential area is a true alignment to the proposed development. Onee a median is placed there, it will be a right in, right out turn as has been noted in the report. In a random survey conducted, 82 percent favored the location, 6 percent said no and 12 percent that were undecided. Eighty-four percent felt a need for a full service grocery store, 12 percent said no and 4 percent were undecided. In asking the uses, other than a grocery store, they were: hardware, restaurant, gas station, drug store, post office, branch library and a clothing store. In the support question for Strawberry Commons, 82 percent supported the concept, 6 percent said no and 12 percent were undecided. This was taken not only ,ot: I residents, but also people that were employed andJPeople in transit.~ ~ ~~Kt.'7~. ~/,.j,l.77" Mr. Skeim stattfd that there is a 26 foot difference between the high spot and the low spot and that the drainage calculations on the back half of lot 4, block 2 and in lot 4 in the cOllDllerical HE zoned area of block 4 will have a ponding area. Almost one hundred percent of the drainage on the entire 40 acres will be directe through ditches and swales. There is enough capacity for as many acres of ponding as he will ever want. Drainage will be both in the front and the back. It was asked of Mr. Skeim if he has another development of this type that the COIlIIlIission could look at. Mr. Skeim stated that this is his first venture into cOllDllercial, but he is finishing a development in the City of Ramsey, which is called Traprock Commons and he welcomed the City Council as well as the Planning and Zoning Commission to contact the City of Ramsey to determine his standing with the City relative to this piece of property. Chairperson Bosell asked if there were any questions or cOllDllents on the part of the audience. Mr. Reynolds, 15951 Tulip Street - Mt'. Reynolds stated that the only objection he would have would be to a liquor store or a beer parlor on that corner. o The COIlIIlIission replied bY stating that there is no way an on or off sale liquor establishment could open here since they are on1y' allowed in shopping centers or industrial districts. Royce Bennet~ 16127 Tulip Street - inquired about the accidents mentioned in this area an wondered how many of them involved liquor. PJ anni ng and ZOng ComiC~n Meeting May 22, 1979 - Hi.nutes Page 9 u o . "\ V (strawberry Cammons Public Hearing,IRezoning cont' d.) The Commission anSllered Mr. Bennet by advising him that they do not have this information. Mr. Bennet could maybe obtain this information from the Anoka County Sheriff's Office. Commissioner Lobb questioned Mr. Skeim on what type of a restaurant he would be putting in. Hr. Slceim stated that 60 percent of the people said that they wanted a full menu rather than fast food. Mr. Skeim pointed out that the Andover residents are going to be spending 10.3 million dollars on grocery items in 1980. Unless there is a full service grocery store in this area, all this money will go to Coon Rapids, Anoka, Northtown, etc. Motion by Retzlaff, Seconded by Lobb to close the public hearing on strawberry Cammons Rezoning. There was no further discussion at this time. Mltion was carried unanimously. &rk Schwnacher. TKDA - The street circulation of l62nd Lane N.W. should be extended to the west property line and terminate at Orchid street. Secondly, the street that is named Narcissus should be renamed, otherwise since Narcissus has already been approved in Pine Hills Addition that it continue on and change Orchid to Narcissus. The cul-de-sac radius would need to be Changed to regulation. Also, it wOIlld be better to have a service drive than just one point of entry at l62nd, and l6lst. Motion by Retzlaff, Seconded by Kishel, that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council approval for the request for rezonEg by Scandinavian Construction and Delano Skeim on property described as the east 484 feet of the southeast one quarter of the northeast one quarter of Section 17, Township 32, Range 24 in AnoIm County, Minnesota be approved by the City Council for the follOWing reasons: 1) A public hearing was held and no opposition was posed to the rezoningJ 2) That the developer has provided a feasibility study, which study was acceptable; 3) That the rezoning of this property to neighborhood business is compatible with the community development plan in that it is on one of the major intersections in the City and would provide services to the residents of the City of Andover; 4) It is not detrimental to the health safety or welfare to the citizens of Andover. Commissioner Retzlaff proposed an amendment to the motion: That the restraint that access from the NB be restricted to l62nd Lane N.W. and l61st Avenue N.W. and not be another access on to County Road #9 until such time. as center median and turn lanes have been constructed on County Road #9. o Motion carried unanimously. This will go to the City Council on the 19th of June. Dan Christensen Sketch Plan (Comm. #5-79-5) Chairperson Bosell stated that the Commission did look at a sketch plan of Dan's back in September of 178. She did talk: with Dan about the easement of University extension which she believeS is So feet. Commissioner Kishel advised Dan that (~ (\ Planning and Z,-_J.ng Commi'..-.ion Meeting May 22, 1979 - Minutes Page 10 I'~ 0 \. ' -) ,-' '-) (Dan Christensen Sketch Plan conti d.) the lot frontage has been changed to 300 feet instead of 350 feet. The collllllission recommended that Dan increase the lot frontage as 11IUch as possible. He should go with the sketch plan and update it with those changes, then take it to the Park Commission and get their basic feeling on it. He could make the Park Commission's next meeting and then come back to the Planning and Zoning Collllllission on the 12th of June with another sketch plan or a preliminary. Lake Rid~e Sketch Plan (Comm. #5-79-3) Lawrence B. Carlson, 17750 Aztec St. N.W., Anoka - stated that the reason for the extension of the cul-de-sac was to get another entry to the park. He also stated that the area is beautiful for ball fields, but it is not buildable.
