VARIANCE (03 -04) TO ORDINANCE 8, SECTION 4.04(B) TO ALLOW EXISTING
PRINCIPAL TO REMAIN DURING CONSTR UCTION OFA NEW
HOME ON PROPER TY LOCA TED AT 15451 PRAIRIE ROAD.
Mr. Neumeister explained that the applicant is seeking approval of a variance to allow
them to live in the existing house while a new house is constructed on the same property.
Mr. Neumeister stated a similar request was approved in 1984. The applicant was
allowed 120 days to remove the existing house once a building permit had been issued.

structure to be removed. Mr. Neumeister stated he would add this when it would go to •
City Council for approval.
Commissioner Gamache asked what staff has found for a hardship in order to allow this
to happen. Mr. Neumeister stated it is an unusual cir cumstan ce and the home is on a
large lot in an area that an additional home under construction would not affect anything.
Acting Chairperson Kirchoff stated he looks at this as a very temporary variance. Mr.
Neumeister stated the need for the variance would go away in a few months.
Acting Chairperson Kirchoff asked if there has been a possibility of ACCAP buying the
home and moving it. Mr. Neumeister asked the applicant if the house was worth saving.
Mr. Matt Mason, 15451 Prairie Road, stated his thoughts were they would try to donate it
to the City for fire training or the historical society. Mr. Neumeister asked what the
square footage of the house was. Mr. Mason stated the foundation size was 750 or 800
square feet. He stated he has talked to some moving companies and they had concerns
with the structural integrity of the house and it has been added onto several times so
trying to move the house off the property without taking down trees would be almost
impossible and they are trying to preserve the natural site of the property. Mr.
Neumeister stated he knew the Fire Department was interested in this house for training
purposes.
Commissioner Vatne asked when do they consider a building to be the principal building •
on site when something is being built. Mr. Neumeister stated anytime the structure can
be considered a residence, it is a principal building so these could be considered two
principal buildings. Commissioner Vatne asked when the building would be considered a
primary structure. Mr. Neumeister stated once it has received its certificate of
occupancy.
Commissioner Vatne asked if there was a firm commitment in interest from the Fire
Department for the house. Mr. Neumeister stated that was correct.
Commissioner Jasper stated they might want to consider at another time to look at
changing the Ordinance.
Motion by Jasper, seconded by Gamache, to recommend approval of the variance be
granted to allow the existing house to remain on the property during construction of the
new house with added language regarding the Fire Department. Motion carried on a 5-
ayes, 0 -nays, 2- absent (Daninger and Greenwald) vote.
Mr. Neumeister stated that this item would be before the Council at the May 6, 2002 City
Council meeting.

• PUBLIC REARING: ORDINANCE AMENDMENT (03 -02) TO CONSIDER
AMENDING ORDINANCE 266 TO MODIFY EXISTING RENTAL LICENSING
REQUIREMENTS (CONTINUED FROMAPRIL 8, 2003).
Mr. Neumeister explained that at the April 8, 2003 Planning Commission meeting,
several issues involving the proposed changes to the Rental Housing Ordinance were
raised that needed further discussion.
Mr. Neumeister discussed the issues and answers to the issues with the Commission.
Commissioner Jasper stated on page one, section three, should read "...allow to be
occupied or let to another €ef a living unit... ", on page four, section ten, the sentence
should read "No operating dwelling unit license shall be transferable..." and under
section eleven, subsection one, number eight the sentence should read "Violations of
State Criminal Laws (State Statute C ter 609); also under subsection three, the
sentence should read "Landlords and Tenants should also be aware of other rules and
regulations as stipulated in State Statutes, Seetien C ter 504B." On page six, section
twelve, subsection one should read "...Licensed living units in a rental dwelling that
have..." On page seven, section 12(2) (A) gives reference to section 11 (A) (1), there is
no section (A) (1), it should read section 11, subsection 1. On page ten, section nineteen,
Licensee should be plural.
0 Mr. Neumeister discussed issue one with the Commission.
Acting Chairperson Kirchoff asked in looking at the changes, what are they trying to do.
Are they trying to add government to this or are they trying to make safe rental housing
for those persons who do rent. He stated the only one affected would be the one renting
from the landlord. If the tenant does not like the landlord, it would be in the best interest
for the tenant to leave that unit. He stated once you bring a third party into the equation,
this is where the Ordinance helps. He stated he sees no reason why they would want to
license an owner /occupied unit.
Mr. Neumeister discussed issue two with the Commission.
Commissioner Vatne stated he thinks they are trying to protect residents who live near
these rented units. Generally speaking an owner occupied unit with only one tenant, you
would think would be more stringent watch on that tenant and if there was a problem they
would act on it but that is not always the case. He stated this is the concern he has and he
is fearful that this would arise and become a problem. He stated from a consistency
standpoint, within th City all rental units would be subjected to this new Ordinance and
it would make it simpler to enforce.
Commissioner Gamache stated if they are going to license rental units, they should
• license all of them. He stated they have received letters and a resident has asked to be
Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes —April 22, 2003
Page 4
licensed. He stated they are not only protecting people in the rental units, they are also i
protecting neighborhoods and everything else.
Commissioner Jasper stated the point Acting Chairperson Kirchoff makes is a good one
but he still leans the other way because there is a consistency argument to be made and
everyone should have the same rules. He stated these are income- producing entities and
they should all play by the same rules.
Acting Chairperson Kirchoff asked what would occur if it is a single family home and
what recourses would happen with these. Mr. Neumeister stated according to the
Ordinance, it would have to be two units on one lot, a single family home or townhouse
would have their own lot under their unit, so it would not apply to them.
Discussion ensued in regards to what type of dwelling units should be included in the
Ordinance. The Commission decided to include the owner /occupied homes in the
Ordinance for licensing.
Mr. Herb Blommel stated they are in the process of licensing and he wondered if they
would place this in effect for the next licensing period. Commissioner Gamache asked
what the legalities of this would be.
Mr. Neumeister stated they have been informing the owner of the Ordinance change all
along. He stated once it comes to the City Council and they approve it, he would assume
it would go into effect immediately so the twelve owner occupied units should be made
aware of this.
Chairperson Da arrived at 7:36 p.m.
Mr. Neumeister discussed issues three through five with the Commission in regards to
incidences leading up to provisional license and revocation of license.
Mr. Neumeister discussed issue five with the Commission. After discussion the
Commission added wording to section eleven, subsection nine to indicate "violations of
the housing maintenance code.", so it would be very specific as to what the seven days
would be regarding.
Mr. Neumeister discussed issue six with the Commission.
Commissioner Vatne stated when they made the change with the new page for issue
number three, there was one spot that on page five, subsection five, the information
should reference Section 11 (4) Commissioner Jasper agreed it should read Section
11L41. Commissioner Vatne stated that was correct.
Commissioner Vatne stated the next section should read Section 11(5) Commissioner
Jasper stated it should read Section 11 (4) and (5).

•
Commissioner Jasper stated Section 11 (8) (E) should be removed from the Ordinance
because if a tenant has two strikes from another property, they cannot give the landlord a
third strike without him having notice of the first two at the other property. His
suggestion that the entirety of Subsection 8 be stricken but at a minimum 8(E) be
stricken. Commissioner Vatne stated he would prefer to strike (E) only.
Commissioner Kirchoff asked if A -D were inclusive of every combination of who would
be in there. He would hate to see this become a loophole of some kind. Mr. Neumeister
stated they previously discussed that if a police call goes to that address, it would not
matter whose it was as long as it was a verified call to the address.
Commission agreed to take Section 11(8) out of the Ordinance.
W. Neumeister discussed issue seven with the Commission.
Mr. Neumeister discussed issue eight with the Commission in regards to including
domestic abuse as a strike against the renter.
The Commission decided not to include domestic abuse calls as a negative strike against
the renter in the Ordinance.
• W. Neumeister discussed issue nine with the Commission.
Commissioner Gamache stated he thought this was a concern of one of the owners at one
of the previous meetings. If they are not getting notification in a timely fashion, they
cannot act on it and they could get multiple violations before being notified. He stated he
thought they were going to get something from the sheriff's office stating how long they
get notification out to the landlords. Mr. Blommel stated they send the reports to him and
the reports looked like there was a two -week time period for the sheriffs department to
get him a report. He did not know if this could be done any quicker.
Discussion ensued in regards to whether or not deadlines should be put on the delivery of
reports to the landlords.
Chairperson Daninger stated the Commission should guide staff to do some research and
let Council know there was a split but that was what the Commission recommended. He
stated that timeliness is important here but he would hate to put this on the sheriffs
department and he wanted to make sure they do not take a deputy off of the street to file
reports.
Mr. Neumeister discussed the last issue with the Commission.
• Commissioner Jasper stated in Section 16(8) the sentence should read "...Failure to
comply with all -temis of this Ordinance is a misdemeanor." The Commission agreed.

Motion by Gamache, seconded by Vatne, to open the public hearing at 8:30 p.m. Motion •
carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Greenwald) vote.
Mr. Jason Shutz, 1970 10 Court, indicated that he would like to have a timely report
from the Sheriffs Department. He wondered instead of W. Blommel getting a monthly
report, could the Sheriff's office send out a weekly report to each city in the county for a
quick turn around time. He explained that most landlords try to go to court in the
beginning of the month so if the tenant needs to leave, they could have a new tenant in by
the first of the next month. Otherwise, there are cash flow problems. He stated there
could be other situations where something happens that the City and the owners do not
find out about until it is too late. He stated in one of the previous meetings, he
recommended having a personal letter sent directly to the landlord from the sheriff and
bypassing Mr. Blommel so it is a quick turnaround time.
Mr. Neumeister stated for the record, they did receive a letter from Mr. Kevin Gerads
regarding the changes to the Ordinance.
Motion by Kirchoff, seconded by Gamache, to close the public hearing at 8:40 p.m.
Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Greenwald) vote.
Chairperson Daninger stated the concern is for the smaller units also. Commissioner
Jasper stated as indicated in the public hearings, there would be support for this. •
Chairperson Daninger stated the feedback was that the owners were the ones eager for
this.
Commissioner Jasper explained on page seven, section 12 (2)(A), the sentence should
read "...reduce the number of police e r-€ie calls described in Section 11, subseetiert
6" or 12 over the six month period..." because neither Section 11 or Section 12 talk
about fire calls at all, it only has to do with police calls.
Commissioner Vatne stated on page one, under Section Two, the sentence should read
"to charge a rental eharge fee for the use of a living unit in a rental dwelling." He
indicated on page two, they should identify some dates and helps with the milestones on
what has to happen when. Commissioner Gamache stated he preferred not having dates
in case they begin to have different license renewal dates in the future.
The Commission decided to leave the wording alone.
Commissioner Jasper stated section nine deals with the inspections for the housing code
and section thirteen says that each rental unit is subject to the rental code so he would
move this section between Sections eight and nine for consistency to make it more logical
to follow.

Chairperson Daninger stated the only issue that needed to be discussed was item nine.
Commissioner Gamache stated he was only throwing out a day because they need to have
something there so the landlord has an idea that they will get enough notice to make
changes. He stated the reason behind amending the Ordinance is to make the
neighborhoods a better place to be and he thought they should turn it over as quickly as
possible and maybe have the Sheriffs' Department hire a secretary to make up these
reports. Commissioner Kirchoff stated the true spirit is to make these work and he would
like staff to work with the Sheriffs Department to expedite the reports as quickly as
possible.
Chairperson Daninger stated he that if they indicated a timeline that is reasonable and
prudent and as quick as possible is what they would be looking for. Commissioner Vatne
stated they are setting in place a process that is very specific in all of the language they
have scrutinized over the date and ti Now they have a necessary fundamental in
order to make this work and if it does not happen in a timely manner, everything else
breaks down and will not work. Chairperson Da stated he agreed it needs to have a
timeline put on it and maybe it is a number of days and they will let the City Council
know their intentions.
Commissioner Casey stated he agreed it should be a reasonable and prudent time because
people are doing their best to get the information out but they do not want to tie up the
• Sheriffs' Department for this.
Commissioner Kirchoff stated he would agree with reasonable and prudent.
Commissioner Gamache stated he would be comfortable with a time.
Commissioner Vatne stated he would want a timeline.
Commissioner Jasper stated he would agree with reasonable and prudent.
Chairperson Daninger stated he would want reasonable and prudent to be the wording in
the Ordinance.
Commissioner Vatne asked what reasonable and prudent meant. Chairperson Daninger
stated it means in a timely fashion, no delay.
Motion by Kirchoff, seconded by Jasper, to recommend to the City Council approval of
Resolution No. , approving the Rental Housing Ordinance Amendment. Motion
carried on a 4 -ayes, 2 -nays ( Vatne, Gamache), 1- absent (Greenwald) vote.
It was noted that the two negative votes would have approved this if the time was
discussed and a certain timeline was included in the motion.

TO: Planning and Zoning Commissioners
FROM: D. Tyler Mckay, Associate Planner 0 7
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: Amend Ordinance 106 — Boulevard Use.
DATE: May 13, 2003
INTRODUCTION
The Planning and Zoning Commission is asked to consider updating the Boulevard Use
ordinance to ensure permanent encroachments and improvements shall remain outside of the
boulevard as defined as the distance from the property line to the curb.
DISCUSSION
Currently, Section 3, b. of the Boulevard Use ordinance allows encroachments beyond the
property lines, and clearly within the Boulevard. The ordinance states:
"No encroachment shall be permitted within eight (8') feet of the curb in urban areas and to the
rear of the ditch in rural areas. In the case where there in no ditch, the distance shall be eight (8')
feet."
The distance from the road curb to the property line is typically at least thirteen and a half (13.5')
feet of the back of the curb or edge of the pavement in urban areas or sixteen and a half (16.5')
feet to twentyone (21') feet of the back of the curb or edge of the pavement in rural areas.
Staff would still like to allow specimen trees existing prior to construction in the boulevard area
and outside of eight (8') feet from the back of the curb or edge of the pavement in urban or rural
areas to remain if possible. We would also continue to reserve the right to require removal of
any existing tree within the boulevard area if it is deemed a hazard to either residents or City
staff. Also, temporary improvements such as mailboxes and sprinkler systems would be allowed,
again, as long as they are not deemed a hazard to either residents or City staff.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Given the above concerns, staff believes to reduce the number of residential complaints regarding
Boulevard use and enhance the aesthetic aspects of completed residential subdivisions, that
• Ordinance No. 106 be amended to require any permanent improvements and encroachments to be
outside of the boulevard area, defined as the distance from the property line to the curb.

SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING Ordinance Amendment (03 -04) to modify Ordinance 8,
Section 6.02 Minimum District Provisions.
DATE: May 13, 2003
INTRODUCTION
The City Council has asked the Planning Commission to review an ordinance amendment that
would allow lot splits on for lots that are close, but do not meet all of the requirements of
Ordinance 8, Section 6.02 Minimum District Provision (without a variance) under certain
circumstances.
DISCUSSION
This request was initiated from the lot split request at 1415 Andover Boulevard that included
proposed variances to lot depth for both lots. The Planning Commission recommended approval
of the proposed lot split. However, the City Council denied the lot split citing a lack of hardship
for the variances to lot depth.
As a part of the discussion, the Council discussed establishing a method to approve similar lot
splits provided the lot met two of the three size requirements and was within 90% of the third
(lot width, depth and area).
Applicable Ordinances
Ordinance 8, Section 6.02 Minimum District Provisions
Planning Commission Discussion
The Planning Commission is asked to review and discuss the following issues and other items of
interest:
1. Each lot within the proposed lot split must meet at least two of the following
requirements; lot width, lot depth, lot area. Each lot within the proposed lot split must
provide at least ninety percent of the requirement that cannot be met.
2. This provision will only apply to lot splits (containing no more than two lots). Reduced
lot standards will not be considered for new plats.
• 3. Whether the amendment should be limited to the urban area.
4. Pros and Cons of proposed ordinance amendment.
1
Similar Ordinance Provisions
• Although this type of provision is out of the ordinary, similar provisions exist in Ordinance 8 as
well as ordinances of other communities. Most communities, including Andover, have a
provision similar to the following:
Ordinance 8, Section 4.04 Lot Provisions
(A) A lot or parcel of land for which a deed or contract for deed has been recorded in
the Office of the Anoka County Recorder upon, or prior to, the effective date of this
Ordinance shall be deemed a buildable lot provided it has frontage on a public street
right -of -way which has been accepted and is currently maintained by the City and said
space requirements for the district in which it is located can be maintained or adjusted
to conform as follows: a lot or parcel of land of record upon the effective date of this
Ordinance which is in a Residential District and which does not meet the
requirements of this Ordinance as to area, width, or other open space, may be utilized
for single family detached purposes provided the measurements of such area, width
and yard space are within sixty (60 %) percent of the requirements of this Ordinance;
but said lot or parcel shall not be more intensively developed. (8B, 9- 21 -76; 8F, 2 -19-
80)
City Attorney's Opinion
The City Attorney has indicated that the proposed ordinance amendment will not damage the
• minimum district provisions section of Ordinance 8 provided it is worded specifically enough to
limit how it is applied.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends in favor of the proposed ordinance amendment because it will allow flexibility
for infill lots. As demonstrated with 1415 Andover Boulevard, infill lots may have development
constraints that would otherwise prevent efficient use of the land.
