VARIANCE (03 -08)TO VARYFROM CITY CODE TITLE 11- 3 -6:B. LOCATION TO VARY FROM THE MINIMUMREQUIRED FRONTAGE ONA PUBLICLY. DEDICATED STREET FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1869157 LANE NW. Mr. Bednarz explained that the applicant has requested a variance to the 160 -foot minim requirement for cul -de -sac lot frontage in the R -1 rural residential district. The property owner wishes to split their 6.83 acre double frontage lot. The existing home will keep their access on 157'' Lane while the new lot will have access onto Linnet Street where the street ends in a cul -de -sac at the back edge of the property. This is located within the MUSA with City sewer and water serving the Grey Oaks development located approximately 350 feet south of the property. It is anticipated that property owners in the immediate area may choose to subdivide their land into urban lots in the future. 0 Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —September 23, 2003 Page 2 Mr. Bednarz explained the City Attorney sent a memo regarding his review of this item and decided a variance would not be needed. The City Attorney could not find anywhere in the ordinances where the " minim um required frontage" on a publicly dedicated street is the minimum width for a lot. The City Attorney stated in the memo that unless there are some provisions in the ordinance that delineate the minim required footage on a publicly dedicated road, he did not think the City can use lot width as the requirement. Acting Chairperson Kirchoff asked if this would be a typical lot split after the additional information was given from the City Attorney. Mr. Bednarz stated that was true because based upon the City Attorney's recommendation, there does not need to be a variance and they should move along with the lot split when the information is submitted. Acting Chairperson Kirchoff stated based upon the information presented, it meets the minimum requirements. Commissioner Gamache asked how soon would Linnet Street go in and will it go in. Mr. Bednarz stated it is based on the property owners desire to subdivide the property. The area is within the current MUSA boundary and is within the current stage of sewer expansion. Utilities are available to serve the area. Commissioner Gamache asked once Linnet Street would go in, would this lot be a legal non - conforming lot because the new street would reduce the lot area Mr. Bednarz stated he would assume that at the time the street is extended sewer and water would be brought • through and then the minimum lot size would be reduced to urban size lots. Acting Chairperson Kirchoff asked if they anticipated having City sewer and water in three years. Mr. Bednarz stated that is dependant on what the property owners decide. Motion by Gamache, seconded by Jasper, to forward to the City Council the City Attorney's letter stating that there is no need for a variance on the lot. Commissioner Vatne asked if there will be a desire for those with 2 %s acre lots or other properties that could be split now that the 160 foot frontage is no longer required. Mr. Bednarz stated they did look at that at their meeting and they think this is fairly limited due to the fact that they still need to meet the minim lot width by the time they reach the front setback line. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent vote. Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the October 7, 2003 City Council meeting. 0 Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — September 23, 2003 Page 3 • PUBLICHF4RING. REZONING (03 -05) FROMLIMITED BUSINESS (LB) TO SINGLE FAMILY URBANRESIDENTIAL (R-4) FOR BUNKER LAKE VILLAGE. Mr. Bednarz explained the Planning Commission is asked to review the proposed rezoning to allow the Bunker Lake Village project to move forward. Mr. Bednarz reviewed the case with the Commission. Mr. Bednarz explained times and conditions have changed due to the development of a single family neighborhood around the subject property and the limited space on the subject properties to provide adequate screening and buffering between a commercial use and residential properties. Mr. Bednarz stated there are minor adjustments, one of them is with the Association. The developer is asking that because of the type of product, the Association would not be responsible for the outside maintenance. Acting Chairperson Kirchoff asked if there were still 41 homes since the sketch review. Mr. Bednarz stated that was true. Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Gamache, to open the public hearing at 7:30.m. Motion carried on a 6 -yes, 0 -nays, 1- absent vote. Mr. Daniel Weber, 1556 140 Lane NW, stated he was in favor of rezoning of Bunker Lake Village and he is in favor of the proposed single family homes but he is opposed to the proposed Eagle Street. The original design showed two cul -de -sacs. The proposed Eagle Street is too close to Hanson Boulevard by approximately two hundred feet and it would not follow City Code 11 -3, stating there should be 330 feet for intersection spacing. He thinks the Planning Commission needs to seriously consider not allowing Eagle Street and going back to a cul -de -sac design. A cul-de -sac results in 1ess.storm water runoff, less paving, less urban heat. The traffic on 140 is not good and will not get any better. He stated the bike trail ends at 140 and if the Eagle Street is put there, it will be nightmare until the bike trail is continued. Mr. Weber passed out a handout which described cul-de -sac design and he stated the cul- de -sac would fit perfect into this design. Acting Chairperson Kirchoff asked which way Mr. Weber was proposing the cul-de -sac. Mr. Weber stated he did not want a street at 140 Lane at all because traffic will increase. Commissioner Greenwald stated if a cul -de -sac was put in it would be too long. Commissioner Gamache stated it would seven hundred to seven hundred and fifty feet long. Mr. Weber stated there will be more congestion at 140 if this road is put in. • Commissioner Vatne clarified what Mr. Weber was telling them. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — September 23, 2003 Page 4 0 Discussion ensued regarding future traffic on 140` Lane once Eagle Street is installed. Mr. Greg Lenduski, 1522 138th Lane, stated his concern is the traffic on 138 He would like serious consideration of 138 to become a cul -de -sac because of the traffic on Hanson and vehicles trying to access it from 13 8th. Acting Chairperson Kirchoff stated in reference to 138` Lane, the intersection will be closed once Hanson Boulevard is reconstructed. Mr. Bednarz showed a map of the road and discussed the future plans with the roads off of Hanson Boulevard. Commissioner Vatne asked Mr. Hanson.whether the maintenance would be done by the homeowners association or by the homeowners themselves. Mr. Hanson stated these homes will be single family detached homes where they own their own property. He stated they will still build the homes with maintenance free exteriors but the difference is that the property is owned by the homeowners. The covenants will layout what can and cannot be done. He stated there are still restrictions but the homeowners will be able to do some things on their own. Mr. Hanson explained the Association will take care of their grounds and snow removal but the maintenance of the home will be the homeowners' responsibility. The • Association will still dictate what can and cannot be done. Commissioner Jasper asked if the Association was being developed under the townhouse statute. Mr. Hanson stated that was true. Commissioner Jasper asked if the Association will be turned over to the homeowners once the development is completed. Mr. Hanson stated it would be. Commissioner Gamache asked in order to maintain the integrity of the development, wouldn't the City want that to be escrowed in an association account to do the maintenance on all of the buildings. Mr. Hanson stated most of the materials used, are standard that have been around for years and stay consistent. He stated the two basic maintenance costs would be the siding and the roofing and something could be included in the covenants regarding maintenance on those items. Commissioner Jasper stated one of the items in the motion deals with a variance for 1568 14e Lane, is this something the homeowner agrees with. Mr. Bednarz stated they encountered this situation before with another plat and they did have the homeowner at the neighborhood meeting and she is aware of this and this is a benefit to her. Mr. Bednarz stated that if they oppose the variance, the City would need to reconsider this. Commissioner Jasper asked if the property owner does not accept the variance, could the street go in. Mr. Bednarz stated if the plat is approved, the street will go in but the house would become nonconforming. Commissioner Jasper asked if at the public meeting, was Regular flndover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — September 23, 2003 Page 5 • that person in favor of the variance. Mr. Weber stated the homeowner was at the meeting and was not in favor of the road. Commissioner Jasper asked if any of the property owners' property was used to make the street. Mr. Bednarz stated it was not. Motion by Gamache, seconded by Greenwald, to close the public hearing at 8:00 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent vote. Commissioner Vatne stated there was an item on the proposal. Item four regarding the rezoning, the back page is the Ordinance proposal, statement one, there is a notation of approximately four acres, shouldn't this be more acres than four. Mr. Bednarz stated they would need to adjust this and should be reflected in the motion. Commissioner Vatne asked Mr. Bednarz to clarify where the original proposal was regarding 140' and 138 Lane. Mr. Hanson stated when they first came in to discuss this with the City staff, they did have this set up as a cul -de -sac. When they got to the sketch plan, they had it set up as a thru street but this was not what they necessarily wanted but the City convinced them that is was beneficial and necessary to connect the roads for the City. Mr. Bednarz stated the transportation plan was reviewed and the landfill setbacks of 150 feet which affect where the homes could be placed on the land. • Commissioner Jasper asked if the development in Blaine is like this proposed development. Mr. Hanson stated it was not, this development is more like their development in Brooklyn Park. Commissioner Jasper asked if parking would be allowed on the street. Mr. Bednarz stated the recommendation follows the Commission's statements on this at the last meeting. Parking would be allowed on the street. Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Gamache, to recommend to the City Council approval of Resolution No. , approving the rezoning from Limited Business (LB) to Single Family Urban Residential (R -4) for Bunker Lake Village with a change to the Resolution stating "approximately 10 acres" in item 1. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0- nays, 1- absent vote. Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the October 7, 2003 City Council meeting. 11 Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — September 23, 2003 Page 6 PUBLIC HEARING: PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR A SINGLE FAMILY i RESIDENT]AL DEVELOPMENT TO BE KNOW AS B UNKER LAKE VILLAGE LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST AND SOUTHEAST CORNERS OF HANSON BOULEVARD NW AND I39 LANE NW. Mr. Bednarz explained the Planning and Zoning Commission is asked to review a preliminary plat for Bunker Lake Village, a 41 lot urban subdivision. Mr. Bednarz discussed the item with the Commission. Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Gamache, to open the public hearing at 7:30 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent vote. Discussion was taken in Item 4 above.

Motion by Gamache, seconded by Casey, to recommend to the City Council approval of Resolution No. , the Preliminary Plat for Bunker Lake Village subject to the conditions of the attached resolution. Commissioner Greenwald stated in regards to the extensive traffic report and for the • safety, Eagle Street is needed to be a thm street even thought a cul -de -sac would be preferred. Commissioner Gamache stated this would be the safest way to go. Commissioner Greenwald stated he thought the future residents will have more of a bourdon of additional traffic than the existing homes on 140th. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent vote. Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the October 7, 2003 City Council meeting. PUBLIC HEARING: SPECL4L USE PERMIT (03 -09) FOR PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW OFBUNKER LAKE VILLAGH Mr. Bednarz explained the Planning Commission is asked to review a Special Use Permit request to develop a Planned Unit Development (PUD) consisting of 41 single family homes on approximately four acres. Approval of the Special Use Permit will allow the development to be constructed according to alternative development standards created specifically for this development. Mr. Bednarz discussed the item with the Commission. .

PUBLICHEARING: RESIDENTIAL SKETCHPLANFOR TOWNHOUSE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED BYKODI4K HOMES FOR PROPERTYLOCA TED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF 141 sr LANE NW AND CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD NW. • Mr. Bednarz explained the Planning Commission is asked to review a sketch plan for a housing development containing 16 twinhome units. Mr. Bednarz discussed the information with the Commission. Acting Chairperson Kirchoff asked if they reviewed a different sketch plan regarding this before. Mr. Bednarz stated they did. Commissioner Jasper asked if this was the site where approval was vacated recently for a gas station. Mr. Bednarz said it is. Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Casey, to open the public hearing at 8:22 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent vote. Mr. Neil Johnson, 2256 141' Lane, stated one of his issues is that the road that will be going in is going to be right across the road from his front windows and he does not understand why there needs to be a thru street instead of a cul -de -sac. He also noted that the intersection on 142 °a is a mess and will eventually require a stop light because of the traffic. He stated he did not see where this proposal is any better than what was proposed before. Commissioner Gamache asked what Mr. Johnson would propose for this property. Mr. Johnson stated he did not know the entire history of this but he thought this was zoned only for housing. C� Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — September 23, 2003 Page 8 Mr. Johnson stated what he does not understand is why the property has sat vacant for so • long because the houses surrounding this have been around for years. Acting Chairperson Kirchoff stated this was zoned commercial and actually worth more as commercial than as residential and he thought there was an agreement between the owner, developer and City to recognize that the character of the property would be better suited as residential. Commissioner Jasper asked if there was any plan to put in a stop light at 142 and Crosstown. Mr. Bednarz stated he was not sure and could check on this. Ms. Becky Joyner, 14194 Quinn Street stated her concern is the way the proposed road curves and the distance between her home and the townhomes. She stated this is downsized quite a bit from before and back when they did the study on the property, they thought that this property stay low density residential and on the low end of that. She stated she would like to hear from the builder regarding what the townhomes will look like. She explained that there is a lot of traffic going through the neighborhood already and she wondered what kind of buffers would be used. Mr. Bruce Carlson, Kodiak Homes, stated when he first started this project, he went to the County to find out what the proper access would be and he was told that there could not be any access to Crosstown Boulevard. He stated this is a twinhome development with an Association that will take care of maintenance. These will be all one level units • with basements and maintenance free exteriors. He stated the price would be $225,000- $240,000. He stated the reason they are trying to get the maximum density is because of the cost of putting trees along the boundaries to buffer their development from the existing homes and road. He stated they have plenty of depth for the homes except for one of the end units. He stated they want to work with the neighborhood and are open to any suggestions. Commissioner Gamache asked if there was any consideration for single family detached homes for the property. Mr. Carlson stated they looked at that but this would involve a little more cost and a higher price for the homes than exists in the surrounding neighborhood. Commissioner Greenwald asked what the median price of the homes in the neighborhood were. Mr. Johnson stated the value is between $200,000 to $240,000. Commissioner Greenwald asked if these twinhomes should not decrease the value of the properties, it should increase the value of the properties surrounding the development. Mr. Carlson stated they should be in the same price range, depending on the unit options. He stated the homes would be for people mainly over fifty years old and not for people with children. n U Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — September 23, 2003 Page 9 • Commissioner Vatne stated there was mention of trees put in along Crosstown. Mr. Carlson stated they will be putting in some evergreen trees for a buffer along the road and the houses behind the development. Ms. Joyner asked if there was any way they could change the way the street curves. Mr. Carlson stated Anoka County wants the intersections to meet. Mr. Bednarz stated they may be able to shift the street and get the road to line up. Discussion ensued in regards to the road shift and right of way with the Commission, Mr. Carlson and Ms. Joyner. Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Gamache, to .close the public bearing at 8:50 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent vote. Commissioner Greenwald stated he thought the builder has some recommendations regarding this and he thought this was a better proposal than before. Commissioner Jasper stated he had several thoughts about the development and he wondered if the street could be moved a few feet so the angle of lights will not affect the homeowner at the end of the roadway. Mr. Carlson stated they could work with the road to get it out of the homeowners view. • Commissioner Jasper stated that as he looked at this, his first reaction to the drawing was that there was not any sliding doors and he would also like to see more variations to the front of the homes. Mr. Carlson stated they could do that. OTHER BUSINESS. Mr. Bednarz introduced the new Associate Planner, Mr. Andy Cross. Mr. Cross discussed his background with the Commission. ADJOURNMENT: Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Vatne, to adjourn the meeting at 8:55 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent vote.

Coon Creek Drive NW for William & Renae Drager. DATE: October 14 , 2003 INTRODUCTION The applicant's house was built in 1995 with its sideyard facing Round Lake Boulevard. At that time the property conformed to the 40' County Road setback as required in the R- 4 zoning district. As Anoka County and MnDOT proceed with project # 02- 609 -12, the Round Lake Boulevard Expansion, the property's sideyard setback will be reduced to 29' . Without a variance, the applicant's property will become legal non - conforming. The applicant is requesting a variance to the City's setback requirement so their property can remain legal conforming despite its reduced setback along the County Road. DISCUSSION The setback variance would be located on the side yard on the northwest side of the property (adjacent to Round Lake Blvd.). The attached original survey of the property shows its sideyard setback to be 40'. The proposed revised setback of 29' is shown on the attached survey titled "ACHD Parcel Sheet." Applicable Ordinances Andover City Code Chapter 12 -15 -7 prescribes the process for reviewing variance requests. This section requires applicants to demonstrate findings to substantiate variance requests. State Statute provides review criteria that are used to determine the merit of variance cases. In all cases the applicant must demonstrate undue hardship. The considerations for undue hardship include: 1. There are circumstances unique to the property that were not created by the • landowner. Unique conditions may include the physical characteristics, including topography or water conditions that may exist on the property.

DATE: October 14, 2003 INTRODUCTION The applicant is proposing to create a commercial development in the area south of Bunker Lake Boulevard between Martin and Quinn Street NW. The development has been reviewed and revised on several occasions based on input by the Economic Development Authority (EDA). The preliminary plat is being brought forward at this time to create three commercial lots and five outlots from the subject property for the first phase of construction. Once the plat has been approved, the final details of each site will be determined through the Commercial Site Plan review process. • DISCUSSION City Code Title 11 outlines the requirements for preliminary plat review. The Planning Commission is asked to review the proposal for conformity with the Comprehensive Plan, the requirements of the City and to ensure the proposal makes the best use of the land. Project Overview The development will open with Target Greatland and Walgreens. A third lot will be created at the northeast corner of the site for a future retail or restaurant building. Two additional building sites will be added in the future when Outlot C is platted into lots. A large pond with a lighted fountain will be created at the center of the development to collect stormwater. A combination of natural and maintained landscape areas will surround the pond along with a trail, observation areas and a pergola. These amenities have been added to the central portion of Andover Station to provide a park like setting within the development. City Code 11-3-2,3 Street Plan Access to the development will be provided from both Martin and Quinn Street NW. The new accesses will align with existing access points to Festival Foods, Tanners, and the Courtyards of Andover. Interior access will be aided by a private street located on Outlot D. Left, right and through lanes are provided at the two major entrances to the site. A left and through lane are provided at the access across from Tanners. The Bunker Lake Boulevard/Quinn Street NW intersection is signalized and designed appropriately to handle the increased traffic. Access via Martin Street NW will be right- in/right/out only as there is a median along Crosstown Boulevard at this location. Loading Dock A loading dock will be located on the southeast corner of the Target building. The applicant is proposing to remove a section of the median along Station Parkway to allow eastbound trucks to turn into the loading dock. This area of the plan will need to be revised by showing turning radius for trucks on the plan and making the appropriate adjustments. City Code 11 -3 -4 Easements A ten foot wide drainage and utility easement exists along the perimeter of the site. All on site utilities will be privately owned and maintained by the Andover Station Owners Association. Public easements over the private utility lines are not necessary. The association documents include a provision to allow the City to enter the properties to access utilities. A trail easement will be needed for the portions of the trail along the north side of Station parkway that encroach onto private property. City Code 11 -3 -6 Lots General Business Zoning District Minimum Requirements Area I Width Depth 20,000 square feet 1 100 feet 150 feet Each of the lots will meet the minimum requirements of the General Business Zoning District. City Code 11 -3 -6I. prohibits unbuildable outlots from being created and requires excess land area to be combined with adjacent properties. The purpose of this provision is to prevent small • remnant parcels that will have little value, may not be maintained and may eventually be forfeited if taxes are not paid. The Outlots in this development are proposed to provide drainage ponds, common areas and a private street that will be shared by all of the businesses. These properties are different from the oultots City Code 11 -3 -6I. is trying to prevent because they will have a well defined use and value to the businesses and would be unlikely to go tax forfeit. In this way the owners association can own and share these properties instead of one of the businesses, or the city, owning and maintaining them. Variances for the outlots are needed and have been included in the attached resolution. City Code 11 -3 -7 Parks, Park Dedication Park Dedication will be paid for each lot as the applicant purchases the property from the EDA. Ten percent of the market value of the property will be required to be paid to satisfy park dedication based on the agreement previously reached by the EDA and the applicant. Grading Drainage and Erosion Control Plan To recover sufficient area for the development to occur, the existing wetland will be significantly reconfigured as indicated in the attached plans. Compensating wetland areas will be located in the Andover Station North development. Stormwater drainage will be directed to the ponds on Outlots A and B. These ponds will also collect stormwater from the 116, LLC development on the east side of Martin Street NW. The Engineering Department, Coon Creek Watershed Management Organization and TKDA have all reviewed the grading plan and determined that with minor adjustments the plan will be in -z- compliance with the City's Stormwater Management Plan. A condition of approval will require the appropriate adjustments to be made. • Tree Preservation The Tree Protection Plan illustrates trees that will be saved, relocated and removed. Due to the significant amount of grading that is necessary several mature trees within the site will be removed. Building Elevations Building elevations and a landscaping plan are attached for your review and comment although they are technically beyond the scope of preliminary plat review. Under the Andover Station Design Guidelines, The EDA has the responsibility of approving these elements of the development plan. Miscellaneous The developer is also required to meet the following City Ordinances and all other applicable ordinances: City Code Title 11, Subdivision Regulations City Code Title 12, Zoning Regulations City Code Title 13, Planning and Development City Code Title 14, Flood Control Coordination with other Agencies The developer and/or owner is responsible to obtain all necessary permits (Minnesota • Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, Coon Creek Watershed District, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, LGU, Anoka County Highway Department and any other agency that may have an interest in the site). Initial contact shall be made with the City Engineering Department regarding this item. Special/Conditional Use Permit Required for Drive Through Walgreens will need a separate special use permit for the drive through. Building Setbacks Building Setbacks are not approved as a part of the preliminary plat. It should be noted that the southwest corner of the Target building is shown at 35 feet from the property line.

Wold Construction for property located at 1101 161 Avenue NW. DATE: October 14, 2003 INTRODUCTION The Planning and Zoning Commission is asked to review a residential sketch plan for a single family urban residential development. Review Criteria City Code 11 -2 outlines the requirements for sketch plan review. The Planning Commission is asked to informally advise the subdivider of the extent to which the plan conforms to the Comprehensive Plan, design standards of city, county, state and federal agencies and possible modification necessary to secure approval of the plan. Submission of a sketch plan does not constitute formal filing of a plat. DISCUSSION Conformance with Local and Regional Plans and Ordinances The City Council approved a comprehensive plan amendment to include the property within the 2020 Municipal Urban Service Boundary and within the current (2000 -2005) stage of sewer expansion on October 7, 2003. The approval is subject to review by the Metropolitan Council. This amendment included a maximum of 47.5 acres that would be served with municipal sewer. The discussion included a density of 2.1 units per acre which would yield a total of approximately 100 units for the proposed development. The sketch plan exceeds this total and will need to be revised to conform to the limitations placed by the City Council. The property is zoned Single Family Rural Residential (R -1). A rezoning to Single Family Urban Residential (R -4) and (M -1) Multiple dwelling Low Density will be needed. Planned unit development review would be necessary for the proposed townhouses. Access Access to the development would be provided from 161" Avenue NW. The sketch illustrates two potential access locations. The Anoka County Highway Department (ACHD) is in the process of reviewing the revised sketch plan. It is likely that only one access point will be allowed by the ACHD. If this is the case, there will be only one access into the development. As a result the streets within the development will exceed the 500 foot maximum cul -de -sac length. The Fire department is opposed to the single access in the interest of public safety. 1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD N.W. • ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304 • (763) 755 -5100 FAX (763) 755 -8923 • WWW.CI.ANDOVER.MN.US The applicant has explored the potential for a second access. There is a DNR protected wetland to the west that will likely not be allowed to be crossed with a road. It is unlikely that a new rail • crossing would be allowed. There is an existing rail crossing at the northeast comer of the property that is part of a private access road that exits onto Ward Lake drive. The road is on a separate property that would need to be purchased by the applicant. An easement would need to be granted to the City and construction criteria would need to be accepted by the Fire Department (see attached memorandum). The transportation plan designates a north -south collector street through the subject property. An alignment for the collector street will need to be selected. Driveways are not allowed on collector streets. The developer will need to redesign the project or request variances to this requirement. Staff is not in favor of allowing driveways on collector streets. Hydrology A subwatershed study is necessary to determine the floodplain boundaries and 100 year flood elevations. This work will need to be completed before a preliminary plat can be reviewed. Lots All of the lots will need to meet the minimum lot width, depth and area requirements of the R -4 Zoning District. Townhouse Units The applicant will present information about the townhouse units at the meeting. • Coordination with other Agencies The developer and/or owner is responsible to obtain all necessary permits (Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, Coon Creek Watershed District, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, LGU and any other agency that may have an interest in the site). Initial contact shall be made with the City Engineering Department regarding this item. Other The developer is also required to meet the following City Ordinances and all other applicable ordinances: City Code Title 11, Subdivision Regulations City Code Title 12, Zoning Regulations City Code Title 13, Planning and Development City Code Title 14, Flood Control Park and Recreation Commission Comments The Park and Recreation Commission will review the proposed sketch at their November 6, 2003 meeting. • Staff Recommendation • The number of units and layout of the development needs to be revised as discussed in this report. ACTION REQUESTED The Planning and Zoning Commission is asked to informally advise the applicant on adjustments to the proposed project to conform with local ordinances and review criteria.

The proposed emergency access road located towards the north end of the development does not meet the standards established for emergency access roads. It appears that although the road width could be appropriate (minimum of twenty feet); it is not know what the planned surface of this access is. The proposed • access road empties onto private property without an easement agreement for public vehicles to enter. The emergency vehicle access road shall enter and exit directly onto a public roadway or easement as approved by the Fire Marshal It should be noted that in order for an approved access road to be located in this portion of the project an approved and improved railroad crossing shall be installed. The access road should be a public easement that extends to Ward Lake Drive with the railroad crossing as part of the easement. Also note that an emergency access road has to be designed and built according to city standards as approved by the City of Andover Engineer, including Fire marshal approved surface. The roadway has to be able to support the weight of all fire trucks currently in use by the Andover fire department. 2. The proposed extremely long dead end roads do not meet the approved fire department policies and standards. The dead end roads can not exceed 500 in length. It appears that at least two of the proposed roads will exceed this requirement. The starting point for.measuring the dead end roads begins at 16 1 5[ Avenue and ends 500 feet from the starting point. • White Tail Ridge • N W�E Project Location Map AndoverEPlanning _.f_ 3)Q +8° aoao�# /e zo e - D ® m or� =moq> Qowg2- Goo mm ±2i© ® 5 Z.. w C >- 2 P 2 g�ƒP ° = § /j -q §§ rn zC) C) \P�® // § m / \ c%m }�k � \ \ � j j # _ 2 @ §§ !; ? . § n Q § ! � L 1�1 \ q / `§ (§) m� }/ _ . ! � L 1�1 EOXXMO¥ /% §%9$ o»or § \ =mom» §§NG� // M >o 9 �@z mC 0 ..

DATE: October 14, 2003 INTRODUCTION The applicant is requesting a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to extend the Municipal Urban Service Boundary (MUSA) to include the subject property. The applicant is also requesting that the property be guided for the current stage of sewer expansion (2000 - 2005). This would allow the property to be developed at an urban density with municipal sewer and water as early as next year. DISCUSSION The subject property is included in the Rural Reserve designated by the Council as indicated on the attached map. This designation was given to preserve the area for urban development. At the time the study was undertaken, the Rural Reserve was intended to be developed after the land within the existing 2020 MUSA area had been developed. Prior to this property being placed in the Rural Reserve, the applicant and property owner requested the property be removed from the Rural Reserve Study Area (see attached letter from applicant). The Council discussed the potential for accelerating the timing of development in the Rural Reserve based on this request although no decision was made. Since that time Woodland Development has asked the City Council to exchange the subject property for a 40 acre property that is already within the MUSA (see attached map and minutes from the August 6 and September 2 "d City Council Meetings). The developer was provided a list of items that needed to be resolved (see attached letter dated August 18, 2003). The developer has been working on a revised sketch plan to resolve these issues. In reviewing whether the subject property should be included in the 2020 MUSA and current stage of sewer expansion, the staff feels the following questions need to be answered: 1. How does the proposed development fit with the future development of the Rural Reserve? 0 2. Can the development of this area be done following City standards that are applied consistently to all new residential developments? 1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD N.W. • ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304 • (763) 755 -5100 FAX (763) 755 -8923 • WWW.CI.ANDOVER.MN.US 3. Can development of this 40 acre parcel occur without negatively affecting a major growth • area that may be 10 -20 years or more into the future? The scope of this question is expanded in the following section. IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS Due to the fact that the Rural Reserve was not anticipated to develop in the current stage of sewer expansion (2000 -2005) a master plan for the area has not been completed. Without such a plan, a framework does not exist to guide development to achieve the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The following components of such a plan would help answer the questions posed above: Overall Land Use Plan The allocation of land uses within the rural reserve has not been discussed. For the purposes of determining sewer capacity and costs associated with it, the density of residential development was figured at 3.5 residential housing units per acre in the Rural Reserve Sewer Study. No further analysis has been done to determine areas of future low, medium or high density residential designations. No analysis of appropriate locations for commercial development has been completed. Without a plan the City will be put in the unfortunate position of reacting to whatever proposal appears instead of guiding development to achieve an overall community plan. Stormwater Drainage "There is an extensive ditch system in the Rural Reserve comprised of both county and private ditches that carry stormwater to Coon Creek. As development occurs it would be desirable to replace the ditch system with a chain of interconnected stormwater ponds that would regulate the • flood elevations for the entire Rural Reserve as well as increase property values and enhance neighborhood aesthetics. This will take an area wide evaluation to determine the appropriate locations for stormwater ponds and how they will be interconnected. If the ditch system is allowed to remain, problems and disputes will occur as the number of contributors and property owners along the ditch system increase. Even if easements for the present public /private ditch system can be obtained, long term maintenance becomes an issue and can create additional issues (i.e. mature tree removal from homeowners backyards to allow maintenance along the ditch). The Coon Creek Watershed Management Organization has had some experience with this township style of development (please see attached letter). Transportation System The City's Transportation plan calls for both north -south and east -west collector streets through the Rural Reserve. The applicant provided a sketch of these routes which was evaluated by Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik & Associates (see Figure 11 from the Transportation Plan and attached letter). The letter indicates that more analysis of the soil conditions are necessary before a final road alignment can be selected. The layout of local streets and trails throughout the Rural Reserve should also be explored to determine where street connections will be needed in future developments. This will help to prevent problems in making adequate road connections in the future. Park System The Park Dedication Study of the Comprehensive Plan calls for a variety of public parks to be located in the Rural Reserve. Please see the attached excerpt from the Park Dedication Study for the size and types of parks that are contemplated. Locations for these parks need to be explored and identified to prevent development from adversely affecting the layout of the City's park system. Wetlands Many areas within the Rural Reserve contain the hydrology and soils necessary to be considered wetlands. Wetland delineation is necessary to determine the areas that can and cannot be developed as well as where road alignments, parks and ponds should be located. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff is concerned that development of the Rural Reserve is premature. While the development of one 40 acre parcel will not eliminate the possibility of a comprehensive approach to planning the Rural Reserve, staff believes that the items listed in this report need to be addressed before further development of the Rural Reserve. ACTION REQUESTED The Planning Commission is asked to advocate a comprehensive approach to planning the Rural Reserve and choose from the following options: 1. Recommend approval of the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment allowing expansion of the MUSA boundary and adjustment of the sewer staging plan as requested. 2. Recommend denial of the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment to allowing expansion of the MUSA boundary and adjustment of the sewer staging plan as requested.

He wondered how they will get it ov to the ponds. Mr. Berkowitz stated there is a larger regional pond in the area that it will discharg and through that the hydrology calculations would need to be evaluated. Councilmember cobson asked who owns the property now. Mr. Hanson stated they are under contract on the two cels with a time deadline. He will be submitting a preliminary plat. Councilmember Jacobson d if Hanson Boulevard will need to be expanded when they go to more lanes and will they be requ g more right -of -way. Mr. Berkowitz stated the County has all of the right -of- -way they need. Coun 'member Jacobson stated they will need to show a trail on the plans. Councilmember Jacobson stated to the north, o e PCA agreement from the landfill, they cannot build anything within five hundred feet unless they a monitoring equipment. He wondered if the north end fit into the five hundred foot setback. Mr. Ne eister explained that within two hundred feet, they are not allowed to build anything but between hundred and five hundred feet, they have special requirements the PCA put on the land to mon it itor ouncilmember Jacobson asked if the north end of the property was within the five hundred feet and if as, how far. Mr. Neumeister stated it was and he did not know off hand. Mr. Hanson stated they ha been in contact with the PCA regarding monitoring. Councilmember Jacobson stated there were some questions about stacking dis on 140 for getting in and out and he did not think there would be a problem with this. He stated i y made a cul -de -sac on Eagle Street, there would be more inconvenience for the residents and they wo need to travel throughout the entire development to get out. ® CONSIDER REQUEST FROM WOODLAND DEVELOPMENT ONLAND SWAP Community Development Director Neumeister explained the developer has asked that the Council discuss and provide comment on an issue that has surfaced in the early stages of the review process regarding the forty -acre land swap. That issue being the need for a second access into the area. The staff has indicated that this will be a recommendation and the developer has requested the Council to review and determine if this will be mandatory before any further analysis or work on the potential subdivision will be authorized by them. They have stated that they do not own the land, nor is the property owner willing to sell them the land that is needed to allow for the second access to be created. i This was previously discussed by Council on May 6, 2003. Council recommended that the developer provide $2,500 escrow to allow the staff to begin the study of the sewer capacity and other issues. The purpose of the study would be to establish whether this parcel can be developed and swapped for another forty acre tract owned by Ken Slyzuk. -17 - Regular Andover City Council Meeting it ?Mtoc — AMY710 t'i 2003 Page 10 Mayor Gamache asked if the road in question would go west up to the second road. Mr. Berkowitz stated that was correct. Mayor Gamache asked what is below the proposed roadway. Mr. Neumeister stated it is open land that Mr. Slyzuk is farming. Mr. Westlund stated they do have a proposal that would reach an agreement and eliminate the entire trail system and meet the conditions that the Andover Review Committee is looking at He showed a new plan for the area to the Council. Councilmember Jacobson stated he thought they needed to have a master plan to determine where the roads should go instead of forty-acres at a time because this creates roads that do not match up and creates more cul -de -sacs. Discussion continued in regard to an overall master plan for the City and if a second access would be achievable into the development. Mayor Gamache stated the best plan is to send the developer's new plan to ARC for review. Mr. Westlund stated he needed to know if the current proposal would be accepted by the City Council. Mayor Gamache stated he saw this as the only way to develop the property and he would like ARC • to look at his newest proposal for the development. Councilmember Jacobson stated he really thinks they need to look at the bigger picture because otherwise they will continue to have cul -de -sacs because the road alignments will not work and that is not safe for emergencies. Discussion continued regarding road development in the area. Council Consensus was to have staff proceed and find out how this would work and to bring the information back to the Council. The Meeting recessed at 9:47 p.m. The Meeting reconvened at 9:52 p.m. AWAJW.BID /03 -I (PRAIRIE KNOLL PARK) & 02 -30 (ANDOVER BOULEVARD TRAIL) City Engineer Berkowitz ex�ed the project for Prairie Knoll Park was bid on Monday, August 4, 2003. Due to the requested change m the Park and Rec. Commission to enlarge the size of the fields, expand the parking areas, constrd rink and move the sliding hill, it became necessary to include storm sewer as part of this p ' . The budget available to construct phase I, the grading portion, was $163,250 and at this point, o f the $163,250 there were dollars designated to go towards the construction of a football building. ,000 would come out of the $163,250. He explained the storm sewer was to be constructed in phase ut due to the changes, the storm sewer had to be included in the first phase. He stated that after revie the bids, City staff explored the option of only doing certain items to stay within the budget but after ex g this WA • Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 2, 2003 Page 10 and would give more land for the park. He thought the developers should talk to the gwner to the east to try to work out something to make the park work. A resideX e park is a big discussion item but something that was not discussed was 159 Avenue ffic that will be on it. One problem is the lack of access. There seem to be three potions. One is to petition the County to get access to Constan ce to serve the develop thing is they are connecting Hanson to Yellow Pine and Woodland Estates eco a feeder street to those developments. He stated he submitted a suggestie 159 e up two blocks so it is more than a minor jog to get to 159 Avenue, uld make t ' a difficult road to take and they will take alternate routes to get out. Mayor Gamache stated there area lot o nsiderations that can be looked at regarding 159th and they would need to discuss this further wit developer to see what he would suggest. Discussion ensued in regard to 159 Avenue and traffic involved. Councilmember Jacobson stated it looked like it was a te/two decision to keep the park to the south with a connection down to Drake Street with the prop owners agreeing that they will work out a deal to put a trail in. The suggestion of moving 159 ane to the north may have some merit to it. Councilmember Orttel stated he would like to see some discussion betwelg the two property owners because they want a park that is usable for the entire area. Mr. Dickinson asked the Council to allow the developer to come back one more t' on the sketch plan before he would go to the preliminary plat to take into consideration the s4 lest of the Council. � CONSIDER LAND SWAP REQUESTIWOODLAND DEVELOPMENT Community Development Director Neumeister explained at the August 6, 2003 Council meeting, Mr. Westlund, Woodland Development Corporation, submitted a rough sketch of a concept plan for the forty acre parcel that he would like to swap. At the meeting he presented another alignment for a collector street to serve the development and Council directed him to work with staff on the concept. Mayor Gamache stated he liked the fact that in the new concept plan none of the homes directly access 152 °d i Mr. Dickinson stated one point to make on this is if the Council is willing to consider the street extension. Mr. Neumeister stated those issues would be worked out as part of the sketch plan review. -7- Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes —September 2, 2003 • Page 11 Councilmember Trude wanted to make sure there were enough extensions outside of the development.

At that meeting, Council directed to continue with the Rural Reserve study and not process a MUSA boundary change for the subject property (40 acres). Staff continues to work on the sewer and transportation studies that were authorized as a part of the Rural Reserve study work plan. To remove the area from the Rural Reserve at this time would not be recommended by staff The timing of the completion of the studies is set for later this year, with the schedule calling for a City Council review of the issue in the spring of 2003 (see attached schedule).

FIVE ACRE PARCEL WEST OF WOODLAND ESTATES FOURTH ADDMON Dear Mr. Neume*ter: This is in response to your letter dated March 10, 2003, regarding the property located directly west of Woodland Estates Fourth Addition. • In your letter you state that the land is not in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and that the land is in ag preserve and will not come out of that designation until the year 2010. 1 agree with both of those statements but would fully expect that once the ag preserve comes off that we would be petitioning the city to include this in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area. I have spoken with Mr. Berkowitz, the city engineer, and it is my understanding that this parcel of land can be serviced through Woodland Estates Fourth Addition. We are currently working with the city to create plans and specs for Woodland Estates Fourth Addition. My last phone conversation with Mr. Berkowitz was to instruct him to be sure that the pipe is put in at its maximum depth so this parcel could be serviced with existing sewer and water. As far as any additional fill that would be needed, according to our engineer's estimates I currently have excess fill from Woodland Estates Fourth Addition. It is our intent to bring in and stockpile enough soil to adequately cover this parcel of properly. Since it is your recommendation that the five acre parcel receive sewer and water from the future think line that is planned for rural reserve, I would ask that you forward this letter on to the city council as you and I disagree on the recommendation. As I look at the city's plans for future development, I question where they will come up with the necessary acreage for development between now and the year 2020. It would certainly make sense that we put at least five acres of land in the MUSA once the ag preserve designation has been removed. 13632 Van Buren St. NF Ham Lak,.

January 15, 2003 Mr. Will Neumeister Director of Community Development CITY OF ANDOVER 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW Andover, MN 55304 RE: RURAL RESERVE AREA Dear W. Neumieister. I wish to address the specific issue of rural reserve. Woodland Development has purchased from the Slyzuk fatly a 5.1 acre parcel of land adjacent to the approved preliminary plat of Woodland Estates Fourth Addition The 5.1 acre parcel is located on the westerly boundary (see attached map). We purchased both parcels simultaneously. The 5.1 acres of land are currently in ag preserve and cannot be developed for approximately seven years. The proper documents have been filed with the city and the state to remove this from the ag preserve classification. During the purchase of this land we were told that the staff could do an administrative lot split because of its size, 5.1 acres. We have closed on the property and need to record the contract for deed. We have been notified that the lot split may not be allowed because this parcel of land is located in the rural reserve study area Please forward our request to the council to accept the lot split, which will allow us to complete our transaction with the Slynik family . I also ask that since this parcel can be serviced with municipal sewer and water from the plat of Woodland Estates Fourth Addition that it not be included in the rural reserve area. Additionally I ask that the council be made aware that we have a purchase agreement on approximately 40 acres described as the southeast quarter of the northeast quarter of Section 24, Township 32, Range 24 with the Slyzuk family as well. This parcel is not in the ag preserve and can also be served with municipal sewer and water by the utilities from the Woodland Estates Fourth Addition plat We did present to staff a proposed sketch plan for this parcel but were not allowed to proceed any firther. In a letter to John Erar from me., dated May 22, 2002, and a letter from Pam Westhmd, the president of Woodland Development, dated July 18, 2002, we made the city aware of our intentions. In both cases council action was to deny this request as this parcel was withinn the study area of a rural reserve. We are now asking again that this parcel not be included in the rural. reserve. It is much more accessible to municipal sewer and water than some of the land north of 161 as recommended by the consultants and staff. • 13632 van Buren St. NE Ham Lake, Minnesota 55304 (763) 427 -7300 FAX: (763) 427 -0192 www.woodlanddevelopmentcorp.com OCT 09 2003 1220 7634270192 PAGE.03 4/33 hk Will Neumneister January 15, 2003 Page 2 • In reviewing the recommendations of the city consultants, I have a question about their findings_ What is the status of the sanitary sewer main line located on the west side ofNghtingale Street NW? When we developed the plat of Woodland Estates, the sanitary sewer main was extended from Suashme Park westerly to the boundary of Woodland. Estates and then turned north along the west side of Nightingale Street. I was under the impression that this line was large enough and deep enough to serve properties to at least 161", if not fnrtber. It seems there has been no consideration given to the availability of sanitary sewer and water lines and what impact it may have on potential development. The city paid substantial monies to extend these liners westerly from Sunshine Park and nordffly on Nightingale Street NW. During the planning of Woodland Estates a lift station could have been built to service what is now Woodland Estates and Woodland Estates H and the preliminary plat of Woodland Estates IV at a much lesser cost. It was decided to extend this trunk lime. It seems appropriate to find a use for this, and it should not be forgotten or set aside. I wound ask that you consider our request to exclude both these parcels of land from the rural reserve_ I would also request that the lot split be allowed to take place as our purchase and closing of the land predates the rural reserve study and implementation. Thank you for your time and consideration of this matter. • Sincerely, Ii Westlund : Vice President bma Enclosures 0 OCT 09 2003 12:20 7634270192 PRGE.04 CITY of ANDOVER • 1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD N.W. • ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304 • (763) 755 -5100 FAX (763) 755 -8923. August 18, 2003 Byron Westlund Woodland Development. 13632 VanBuren Street NE Ham Lake, MN 55304 Re: Andover Review Committee Comments for Special Study of MUSA Land Swap Dear Mr. Westlund: The Andover Review Committee is conducting a special MUSA land wrap study of the subject property at the request of Woodland Development and the City Council. The main issue that needs to be resolved at this meeting is whether the Council will accept the single access into the subject property. If this is acceptable to the City Council. it will be your responsibility to submit the necessary applications and materials to initiate the formal review process. The following items will be included in the staff report to be presented to the City Council at the September 2, 2003 meeting: 1. It should be noted that this special study effort is focused on the feasibility of a MUSA land swap and that staff comments do not comprise a sketch plan review. As you know, the sketch plan process includes a public hearing with the Planning Commission and review by the Park Commission and City Council. 2. The proposal will require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to extend the MUSA boundary to include the subject property. 3. A Rezoning to R-4 Single Family Urban Residential will also be necessary. 4. Access to the collector - street from the subject property and Woodland Estates.5`. Addition should not be offset. The proposal to align this intersection is preferred. However, the exact alignment of the streets as they approach the intersection needs to be improved to conform with State Aid requirements and intersection design standards. • 5. The Fire Department remains in opposition to the single access to the development • 6. Water service would need to be looped through the development. • 7. Future street connections to the north and west would need to be provided at the northwest comer of the subject property. 8. A sketch plan or plat proposal should include ghost platting of the surrounding undeveloped properties to ensure that proposed future roadway alignments are located so as not to conflict with wetlands, floodplain boundaries or other insurmountable development constraints. 9. The alignment of the collector street extending from the west of the subject property to Round Lake Boulevard will be independently reviewed by Boonestro et. al.

Ditch 37 is approximately 4.5 miles long and drains approximately 2,300 acres. The ditch was established in 1900 to facilitate agriculture, and during the last 10 years has increasingly served as the principle storm water outlet for the development that has occurred in this portion of the city. In 1995 Ditch 37 was the subject of a special study performed cooperatively between the • City of Andover and the Coon Creek Watershed District to assess the hydrology of the area, alleviate concerns about potential flooding between subdivisions and the potential impact of development on drainage dependent agricultural land at the lower end of the subwatershed. At that time City and District staff discussed the general merits of developing a specific subwatershed plan for the Ditch 37 drainage area. While nothing specific came of those discussions, Watershed District staff have periodically discussed the benefits of subwatershed planning and specifically discussed the ditch 37 subwatershed. Ditch 37 is one of the few areas within the Coon Creek Watershed where more intensely developed land exists upstream from land that depends on drainage, where there is a high probability for hydrologic interference resulting in flooding. The benefits of a subwatershed plan would include the following: 1. Precise 100 -yr elevations and hydrology information. 2. Customized stormwater and water quality standards 3. Prevent land use conflicts between development and agriculture 4. Ensure roads are available for emergency vehicle travel during flooding periods 5. Comprehensive wetland management ensures development options, protection of high quality wetland resources and successful wetland mitigation. 6. Water quality management tied to the NPDES permit and the City's and District's SWPPP 7. Long term cost reduction for maintenance, repair and compliance of wetlands, water quality treatment through correct sizing and siting these facilities • -13- P r i n t e d on r e c y c l e d paper 8. Maximize the economic efficiency of the land, if desired • A comprehensive subwatershed plan also allows a framework to review, discuss and plan for storm water and public infrastructure, particularly the use of private drainage ditches for storm water. The use of private or small lateral and branch drainage ditches for storm water has increasingly become a safety and health concern for new home owners, a source of conflict between adjacent landowners engaged in different uses (such as residential vs. agriculture) and a maintenance headache for municipal and District staffs. Consequently, the District has begun to discourage the use of these smaller ditches for stormwater conveyance, particularly when they occur on property boundaries, and encourage alternative methods, such as pipe, when appropriate. This is not an easy task, and if not looked at, and ideally planned comprehensively, can easily result in inefficient, and therefore expensive to maintain, public infrastructure, as well as inconvenienced property owners. At present, the District has, as much as possible, taken a performance approach to stormwater management, and relied upon our knowledge of the watershed and the project planning process, when possible. While we are comfortable that our approach prevents and/or mitigates conflicts, the incremental nature of the process does not guarantee the efficiency in managing the water resource that a comprehensive analysis and plan provides. • If you have any question please contact me. sin � „yr id District Administrator cc: J.

City Engineer FROM: Glenn Cook, P.9 A Shelly Johnson DATE: August 28, 2003 RE: East -West Collector Alignment - Woodland Development Project No.: 171 -03 -104 We have reviewed the soils maps for the propo :ed -collector street alignment options per the information you provided to us. We have also reviewed the concept plan layout for the residential development through which the collector will pass. Our comments follow. The ?. t - oposed alignment of a new collector street from Round Lake Boulevard to Nightingale Avcnae will cross a significant area of poor soils. The two alignments proposed do not significantly differ relative to the length of poor soils but the north alignment may be slightly het.trr. The poor soils consist of the Rifle Muck (Rg) and the Markey Muck (Ma). Neither soil type is suit: blt for building roads and will have to be removed or reinforced with fabric. Expenence has shown that areas with less than five feet of organic materials should be excavated and back,'illed with granular material. The areas with a depth of organic material greater than five ;'cat need to be analyzed in more detail prior to making a final design decision. Attached is a stony i:.f the Anoka County Soil Survey Map with sections indicating the problem soil types. "lie concept plan (copy attached) contains too many street access openings on to the proposed coilector. We would suggest a distance of 1/8 mile (660') between street openings onto a collector. The attached copy provides how that spacing could be achieved. We have also indicated the location for a potential street connection to what will be the neighborhood to the v,e:;t. This is desirable for access between neighborhoods. The plan eliminates residential driveway access to the proposed collector, which is highly desirable.

Based on national standards and the City's forecasted population, the City has sufficient acreage of Mini and Neighborhood Parks to meet future demand. However, the location of existing Mini and Neighborhood Parks do not provide service area coverage for either of the two rural reserve study areas. The addition of Neighborhood Parks will be required to meet the location and park service area needs of the rural reserve area selected by the City for future urban growth. There will also be a need to provide additional Community Park and Community Playfield facilities to the system to accommodate the future growth from either rural reserve selected for future MUSA. Depending which rural reserve area is selected, the City will need to add either 63 or 80 acres of Community Park and either 22 or 28 acres of Community Playfields. Based upon the Comprehensive Plan Soil and Slope Map, there are substantial areas within both Rural Reserve Area 1 and 2 that contain restricted soil types and therefore the potential locations for additional playfields are limited. • The information in Table 6 illustrates the number of parks anticipated to be needed to provide park and recreation service to the two rural reserve areas, (utilizing National Recreation and Park Association Guidelines).

National Recreation and Park Association Guideline (Average Park size per Paris 1 ype) PARK DEDICATION ANALYSIS - RAW LAND VALUE VS. VALUE AT FINAL PLAT Pursuant to State Statute, the City can collect park dedication based upon the value of land at the time of final plat. It is NAC's opinion that value should include raw land value plus the value from lots created by final plat approval. The land value at final plat should comprise the retail value of the lot less improvement costs. Residential developers were contacted to identify typical lot improvement costs (assuming an 80 foot wide lot), associated with single - family subdivisions. Typical improvement costs for single - family developments consist of utilities, roads, grading, engineering, area connection charges and fees, which approximate 48% of the total vacant lot sales price. The developers that were contacted also indicated that a development must yield a minimum 20% retail value added per lot to be a viable project. For illustration purposes, the following table provides an example breakdown of land values as they relate to the collection of park dedication based upon raw land value versus the value of land at the time of final plat.

Park dedication collected at the time of final plat $ 2,235 1 $1,400 per unit Based upon 2 units per acre The application of park dedication at the time of final plat, based upon the retail value of the lots, results in an equitable dedication policy in that the same value will be applied regardless of whether cash or land is required from a development project. City of Andover Park Dedication Report 12 of 22 -Ir— • TO: Planning and Zoning Commissioners FROM: Courtney Bednarz, City Planner SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: Residential Sketch Plan for an urban residential development proposed by Woodland Development for property located west of Nightingale Estates Third Addition. DATE: October 14, 2003 INTRODUCTION The Planning and Zoning Commission is asked to review a residential sketch plan for a single family urban residential development. Review Criteria City Code 11 -2 outlines the requirements for sketch plan review. The Planning Commission is asked to informally advise the subdivider of the extent to which the plan conforms to the Comprehensive Plan, design standards of city, county, state and federal agencies and possible modification necessary to secure approval of the plan. Submission of a sketch plan does not constitute formal filing of a plat. DISCUSSION Conformance with Local and Regional Plans and Ordinances The property is located outside the 2020 MUSA Boundary. A comprehensive plan amendment is necessary as discussed in the previous report.. 2. The property is zoned Single Family Rural Residential (R -1). A rezoning to Single Family Urban Residential (R -4) will be necessary to allow the project to move forward. Access The only access to the development would be provided from 152 Lane NW. Typically at least two access points would be provided in the interest of public safety. As a result, the Fire Department is opposed to the layout of the sketch plan. The applicant has previously asked the Council to discuss this issue. A majority of Council members indicated that they would accept a single access into the development. The Transportation Plan designated 152 Lane NW as a collector street. This street will continue west to Round Lake Boulevard as the Rural Reserve develops. Driveways are not permitted on collector streets. Staff has asked the applicant to provide a ninety- degree intersection at 152 Lane NW and Verdin Street NW. 1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD N.W. • ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304 • (763) 755 -5100 FAX (763) 755 -8923 • WWW.CI.ANDOVER.MN.US Lots All of the lots appear to exceed the minimum lot width, depth and area requirements of the R -4 • Zoning District. There are private ditches along the west and south sides of the property. The applicant has submitted a revised sketch plan that would eliminate the ditches from the rear yards of properties. Staff is opposed to this method of stormwater collection as discussed in the previous report. The applicant has submitted a revised sketch to eliminate the ditch from the rear yards along the west edge of the project (11x17 in packet). This design addresses many of the comments in this report concerning the full size plan included in the packet. Lots 16,17,18,27 and 28 of Block 4 are double frontage lots. Double frontage lots are typically only allowed along arterial roadways. However, this design is better than creating additional intersections along the collector street for Wren and Xavis Street NW. Variances will be needed for the double frontage lots. Lawn maintenance of the east end of Lots 2 and possibly 3, Block 5 will be difficult due to the location of the pond. These areas need to be redesigned and/or added to a lot with direct access. Trail System The off street sidewalk and on street trail system created in Woodland Estates Fourth Addition would be extended through the proposed project. • Coordination with other Agencies The developer and/or owner is responsible to obtain all necessary permits (Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, Coon Creek Watershed District, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, LGU and any other agency that may have an interest in the site). Initial contact shall be made with the City Engineering Department regarding this item. Other The developer is also required to meet the following City Ordinances and all other applicable ordinances: City Code Title 11, Subdivision Regulations City Code Title 12, Zoning Regulations City Code Title 13, Planning and Development City Code Title 14, Flood Control Park and Recreation Commission Comments The Park and Recreation Commission will review the proposed sketch at their November 6, 2003 meeting. Staff Recommendation Modifications to the sketch plan are needed to conform with City requirements as discussed above. ACTION REQUIRED The Planning and Zoning Commission is asked to informally advise the applicant on adjustments to the proposed project to conform with local ordinances and review criteria.

DATE: October 14` 2003 INTRODUCTION The Planning Commissioners are asked to review the proposed rezoning to allow for residential development on a parcel in Andover Station. DISCUSSION As with all rezonings, the City must meet one of the two following findings that are provided by state statute: 1. The original zoning was in error. 2. The character of the area and/or times and conditions have changed to such an extent to warrant the Rezoning. The Andover Station properties are zoned for commercial use. Bruggeman Properties has included a residential component in their plans for the development of Andover Station: a 75- unit townhome development. This will require the rezoning of the 8.65 acres upon which the townhomes will be built. This residential development does not stray from the original intent to develop Andover Station. Conditions have changed to such an extent that a residential element is now an acceptable addition to a large -scale commercial development such as Andover Station. Attachments Ordinance Amendment Location Map ACTION REQUESTED The Planning and Zoning Commissioners are asked to recommend approval of the rezoning request based on the reason that times and conditions have changed.

DATE: October 14, 2003 INTRODUCTION The Planning and Zoning Commission is asked to review a preliminary plat for the "Villas at Andover Station", a 75 unit townhome subdivision. DISCUSSION Review Process City Code Section 11 (Subdivision Regulations) outlines the requirements for preliminary plat review. The Planning Commission shall determine whether the proposed subdivision is in conformity with the Comprehensive Plan, and shall take into consideration the requirements of the City and the best use of the land. Particular attention shall be given to the arrangement, location and widths of streets, drainage and lot sizes. The property is currently guided for Urban Residential High Density on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The proposed plat is consistent with that land use designation. Street Plan Access would be provided from Station Parkway as indicated on the attached drawings. The proposed street (Partridge Circle) would allow two entrances into the townhome development. the street and associated right -of -way will conform to the City's urban local street requirements (33 feet wide within a 60 foot wide right -of -way). Pedestrian Access A trail will be required to be constructed along the south side of Station Parkway by the developer and could be done as part of a future public improvement project. The plans show an eight foot wide bituminous trail that meanders both inside and outside of the street right -of- way from the northwest corner to near the southeast corner of the development. The trail needs to be extended to the farthest southeast corner. U Construction of Improvements The applicant will likely petition the City for the construction of connections to water, sanitary and storm sewer and city streets. Easements • Drainage and utility easement will be required to be placed over the storm water pond and wetland. Right -of -way for the proposed city street will be dedicated to the City. A blanket access provision will be included in the association documents to allow the City access to the city utilities serving individual units. Lots The proposed project is seeking Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.) review as a part of the Special Use Permit and will be discussed in a separate report. The developer has proposed garage sizes that were lower than the City minimum. On October 7, 2003 staff brought the issue to the Andover Economic Development Authority (EDA) since they currently own the property and needed to approve the design of the buildings. The EDA recommended that the developer modify the building and site drawings to achieve the 440 square feet required by City code. The developer has not had time to modify the plan but has agreed to making the necessary changes. The plat is affected by the footprint of the building being four feet longer than is shown on the drawings. This will mean that the front setback will need to be reduced. This was considered acceptable by the EDA. The developer will need to change the drawings and submit the correct building and site drawings before this will be brought before the City Council. This will necessitate a variance to setback for the street and is addressed in the P.U.D. Outlots City Code does not allow the outlots that are shown. The outlots should be removed from the final plat drawing. The plan sheets need to be modified to show a drainage and utility easement for the wetland and pond up to the 100 year flood elevation on all sheets. The pond and wetland are to be maintained by the property owners association. Buildability Requirements of Section 11 All lots are required to meet the provisions of the buildability requirements and the applicant has demonstrated each of the lots will be buildable. Wetland/Storm Water Pond Buffer Section 13 -6, Wetland Buffer, further regulates lots adjacent to wetlands and storm water ponds. This City Code Section requires a minimum of 16.5 feet between a wall of a dwelling unit and the delineated edge of a wetland or the 100 year flood elevation adjacent to a storm water pond. All of the proposed lots will meet this requirement. Drainage Facilities Storm water piping from the development will connect to the pipes in Station Parkway and storm water will be routed to the City's storm water retention ponds in the vicinity. 0 -4- Park Dedication The Park and Recreation Commission will review the need for either land or cash park dedication on November 6, 2003. It is recommended that a cash park dedication fee be • required. Also, a trail fee will be required to be paid based on the unit price in effect at the time of final plat approval. The developer is also required to meet the following City Code Sections and all other applicable ordinances (unless modified by the P.U.D.: • Zoning Regulations • Platting and Subdivision Regulations • Shoreland Management Regulations • Flood Plain Management Regulations • Wetland Buffer Regulations • Diseased Shade Tree Regulations. & Tree Preservation Policy Coordination with other Agencies The developer and/or owner is responsible to obtain all necessary permits (Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, Coon Creek Watershed District, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, LGU, Anoka County Highway Department and any other agency that may have an interest in the site).

DATE: October 14'', 2003 INTRODUCTION The Planning Commission is asked to review a Special Use Permit request for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) consisting of 75 units in 10 buildings on 8.65 acres. Approval of the Special Use Permit will allow the development to be constructed according to alternative development standards that are designed to maximize the redevelopment potential of the site. Planned Unit Development Review focuses on the following elements of the project: • Development standards (lot size, dimensions and setbacks) • Design of the units (Overall design and exterior materials of the structures) • Area Identification Sign DISCUSSION Associated Approvals Comments from the Engineering Department will be evaluated in the Plat Review Process. Applicable Ordinances Chapter 13 -3 of the City Code regulates Planned Unit Developments. This zoning provision seeks to achieve the following: 1. Attaining a higher standard of site design and development that cannot be accomplished under strict adherence to development ordinance provisions. 2. The preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as natural topography, woodlands, geologic features and the prevention of soil erosion; 3. A more efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby lowering the development costs and public investments; 4. A development pattern in harmony with the Andover Comprehensive Plan. (PUD is not a means to vary applicable planning and zoning principles.) Due to the unique shape of the parcel on which these townhomes are going to be built, the setbacks normally applied in an M -2 zoning district have proven too restrictive. If the property were developed under the traditional M -2 standards, the required setbacks would not allow a sufficient number of structures to be built and the project would become unfeasible. The proposed project with revised setbacks is an attractive residential development that would be a • positive attribute for the City. Adjacent Residential Properties A neighborhood meeting was held with neighboring property owners to introduce the project before the sketch plan was reviewed. The feedback was generally positive. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS A table is included in the attachments to illustrate the design standards of other townhouse developments in Andover. Lots Individual lots are proposed for each of the 75 units. The current zoning of the property is GB, General Business. The applicant is requesting a rezoning to M -2, Multiple Dwelling High Density. The three types of proposed lots in the Villas at Andover Station project are compared to the dimension and size requirements of the M -2 Zoning Districts in the table below. Planned Unit Development review is needed to create standards that are appropriate for the site. Lot Width As the table illustrates, the lot width of the properties is less than the M -2 Zoning standards. The reduced lot width is a function of the unit design, which is relatively narrow at 29 feet. A space of approximately fifty feet exists between the 8 -unit lots. Note that the 150 foot minimum lot width and depth requirements for the M -2 Zoning District are intended for twinhouses on a single lot. It is important to distinguish between the distance between the lots and the distance between buildings. The distance between the buildings will be 63'4 ". Lot Depth Owing to the unique design of these townhome buildings, the individual lot depth is 41 feet. Lot Area The 5,000 sf minimum lot area for the M -2 Zoning District is a function more of the permitted units- per -acre within the district than of an actual prescribed individual lot size. A 5,000 sf minimum lot requirement equals 8.7 units- per -acre. The proposed development has 75 units on 8.65 acres. This equals 8.67 units -per -acre, which conforms to the requirement of the M -2 Zoning District. is Setbacks M -2 Southern Side of Development Lot Type 2 Lot Type 3 Width 150 feet r43feet 39 feet 32 feet De th 150 feet 41 feet 41 feet Area 5,000 sf 1,592 sf 1,301 sf Lot Width As the table illustrates, the lot width of the properties is less than the M -2 Zoning standards. The reduced lot width is a function of the unit design, which is relatively narrow at 29 feet. A space of approximately fifty feet exists between the 8 -unit lots. Note that the 150 foot minimum lot width and depth requirements for the M -2 Zoning District are intended for twinhouses on a single lot. It is important to distinguish between the distance between the lots and the distance between buildings. The distance between the buildings will be 63'4 ". Lot Depth Owing to the unique design of these townhome buildings, the individual lot depth is 41 feet. Lot Area The 5,000 sf minimum lot area for the M -2 Zoning District is a function more of the permitted units- per -acre within the district than of an actual prescribed individual lot size. A 5,000 sf minimum lot requirement equals 8.7 units- per -acre. The proposed development has 75 units on 8.65 acres. This equals 8.67 units -per -acre, which conforms to the requirement of the M -2 Zoning District. is Setbacks Western Side of Development Southern Side of Development Northeastern Side of Develo ment Building to Property Ede 30' 1 30' 25' — 30' • Setbacks The setbacks are measured as the distance between the lots and either the adjacent property or the road right -of -way. The distances vary slightly because of the unique shape of the lot on which the Villas are constructed. The M -2 Zoning District requires a 30' side yard and rear yard setback. The Villas meet that requirement along both the western and southern sides of the development. Driveways Driveways in this development will have a width of 20'. DESIGN STANDARDS Townhome Units The development will feature two styles of townhome: The Pinewood and The Oakwood. They will be built in 9 eight -unit buildings and 1 three -unit building. Each unit has two floors and is approximately 1,500 square feet. Elevations and floor plans for the proposed structures are included in the attachments. Exterior of the Townhouses The architectural design of the townhomes' exterior will not change much between models, but varying color schemes will make adjacent homes appear different from one another. The exterior finishing materials of the townhouses will include stone veneer siding, clay or wicker shakes, weathered wood shingles, and concrete patios. Combinations of different colors will be used on the siding, shutters, and shakes. A third accent color will be used on features such as the columns, soffit, and fascia. The color packages will be distributed among the townhomes as shown in the diagram included in the Attachments. A variance is recommended to Chapter 9 -1 -4, which prohibits adjacent structures from replicating one another. The colors of the units will vary, but their architecture is so similar that without a variance this development would not comply with Chapter 9 -1 -4. Screening from Adjacent Properties to the South and West Screening along the shared property line to the south is proposed to consist of seven (7) Swamp White Oak trees and 12 various evergreen trees. The western shared property line will have 22 evergreen trees. The trees will be planted within the common lot shared by all tenants, so the maintenance responsibilities for the trees will fall upon the homeowners association. Staff recommends doubling the number of trees used for screening, with a special emphasis on evergreens. Open Space The developer has agreed to construct a passive recreation area in the middle of the development that will feature attractive landscaping and a sitting area with a pergola. Garages The Villas at Andover Station will feature 440 square foot garages. This change was added late in the design process and will require a 4 -foot elongation of the buildings from the way they appear in the architectural renderings dated September 29`", 2003. Their setback from the street • will be reduced by 4 feet. The Andover EDA had approved this reduced setback. Staff recommends a variance to 12 -3 -4, which identifies setback requirements for the M2 Zoning District, to allow for the increased size of the buildings. Parking Between garage parking, in front of the garage, guest parking, and on -street parking, the Villas at Andover Station will have an average of 5 parking stalls per unit. Location Number of Stalls Garage 150 Front of Garage 150 Guest Parking 44 On Street 36 TOTAL 31 Avg. per Unit 5 LANDSCAPING PLAN x The landscaping plan provides a combination of ornamental trees and shrubs around the units and a perimeter of both deciduous and non - deciduous trees. The proposed plan will produce a manicured landscape with a variety of plants that are appropriate for the site. Irrigation will be installed as part of the landscaping scheme. AREA IDENTIFICATION SIGNS One monument -style area identification sign is proposed for the project located at the western entrance to the development. A smaller monument with an attached gate will be placed at the eastern entrance to the property. Color renderings of the signs will be included in the attachements. ASSOCIATION DOCUMENTS The Articles of Incorporation, By -laws and Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions regulating the properties and maintenance of common areas must be submitted for review by the City Attorney. A provision will be needed to establish a repair, maintenance and replacement program and funding for the private drives, parking areas, private utilities and all common areas and other improvements.
