VARIANCE (03 -09): TO CITY CODE 12 -3-4 MINIMUM DISTRICT
REQUIREMENTS TO ALLOW REDUCED SIDE YARD SETBACK FROMA
COUNTYROAD AT 3479 SOUTH COON CREEKDRIVE
Mr. Cross explained that the applicant's house was built in 1995 with its side yard 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 402- 609 -12, the Round Lake Boulevard Expansion, the property's side yard
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
is remain legal conforming despite its reduced setback along the County Road.

Mr. Cross discussed the information with the Commission.
Commissioner Vatne stated it was noted as impacting other properties, has other
variances been granted at this time. Mr. Bednarz stated there is one property owner with
similar circumstances that they have granted a variance for.
Motion by Kircboff, seconded by Gamache, to approve the request for a variance to
allow the property at 3479 Coon Creek Drive to have a side yard setback of 29' along the
County Roadway because it meets the criteria for granting a variance based on the
County's road widening project. Motion carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent

Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the November 4, 2003
City Council meeting.
Commissioner Greenwald arrived at 7:06 p.m.
PUBLIC HEARING: PRELIMLVARYPLAT FOR ANDOVER MARKETPLACE
EAST, A COMMERCL4L DEVELOPMENT LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST
CORNER OFBUNKER LAKE BOULEVARD AND MARTINSTREET NW. •
Mr. Bednarz explained that 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.
Mr. Bednarz discussed the information with the Commission.
Mr. Bednarz noted that the EDA is a member of the Association but will no longer own
land once the development is completed. He explained that there is a need for a trail
easement on the south edge of the property. There will be a public trail constructed on
the north side of Station Parkway.
Commissioner Jasper asked who the outlots would be owned by. Mr. Bednarz stated the
outlots would be owned by the owners association.
Commissioner Jasper asked how the outlots will be maintained and what assurance will
be made for maintenance. Mr. Bednarz stated there are association documents to make
Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes — October 14, 2003
Page 3
• sure the property is maintained and if they are not, the City will have the ability to
maintain them and assess the cost back to the owners.
Commissioner Vatne stated there was discussion previously to relocate the ponds, he
wondered if there was a comfort level that the ponds can be moved and that the outlots
can be used. Mr. Bednarz stated there has been extensive review of this project and in
working with the Coon Creek Watershed that level of comfort has been reached.
Commissioner Kirchoff asked with the increase in traffic at the Quinn Street intersection,
could the inbound lane be given a little more width. Mr. Bednarz stated Quinn Street was
designed and constructed to serve the needs of both the Festival Food site and the rest of
the development and no changes are contemplated.
Commissioner Gamache asked if there has been thought to install signs on Bunker Lake
Boulevard to try to deter trucks from using that entrance and they should use Hanson
Boulevard. Mr. Bednarz stated they have had some comments on the design of the
loading dock and they have revisited the plan and they did a field inspection and it was
built per the plan. The turning radius width is there to allow a full size truck to make
those movements.
Motion by Kirchoff, seconded by Casey, to open the public hearing at 7:15 p.m. Motion
carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote.
There was no public input.
Motion by Kirchoff, seconded by Gamache, to close the public hearing at 7:16 p.m.
Motion carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote.
Commissioner Jasper asked within the packet of material there is a detailed signage plan
for turn lane and parking but no information for retail signage, is this a part of another
review. Mr. Bednarz stated they have looked at a sign for both Target and Walgreen's
and it has been revised several times. The signs would be similar to what exists for the
Movie Theater and restaurant. He stated the sign does incorporate some brick and rock
face block as the foundation and then individual sign plates.
Commissioner Greenwald asked if the outlots would be sufficient for a restaurant. Mr.
Neumeister stated the lot on the comer of Martin Street and Bunker Lake Boulevard was
increased in size for this reason. He stated the other two sites on the southwest comer are
being worked on for restaurants or retail uses.
Commissioner Greenwald asked under City Code 11 -37 "Parks and Park Dedication ", is
this above normal or normal that it is ten percent of the market value of the property that
would be required to pay the satisfied park dedication. Mr. Bednarz stated that is the
• Ordinance requirement for commercial or industrial property. Commissioner Greenwald
stated he thought the amount was excessive.

Commissioner Greenwald stated he hoped safety is going to be a consideration in the
landscaping for this because previous landscaping in the development has gotten out of
hand and become dangerous. Mr. Bednarz stated this has been identified as an issue that
needs attention. Some of the landscaping on the east side of the Theater will be cut back
to allow better site lines for exiting.
Chairperson Daninger stated the commercial site plan will be a more detailed site plan of
the store front but he wondered how this will compare to other businesses there. Mr.
Bednarz stated the intent is for the design of all of the buildings to follow the theme of
the Festival Foods development as well as the Theater and Tanners Restaurant to tie
everything together. He stated they have not seen a final plan on the building elevations
at this point.
Mr. Keith Ulstad, United Properties, explained he is familiar with the architecture of
Walgreen's and Target. He is selling land to both entities. They specified to Target that
they would like them to compliment Festival foods. He stated Target has been in contact
with the architect of Festival Foods to see how to tie these buildings together
architecturally.
Discussion ensued in regards to the upkeep of the developments outlots.
Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Gamache, to recommend to the City Council •
approval of Resolution No. , approving the proposed plat subject to the conditions
listing in the attached resolution and any additional items of concern. Motion carried on
a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote.
Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the November 4, 2003
City Council meeting.
PUBLIC HEARING: RESIDENTIAL SKETCH PLAN FOR AN URBAN
RESIDENTLAL DEVELOPMENTPROPOSED BYS.W. WOLD CONSTRUCTION
FOR PROPERTYLOCATED AT 1101 16i' AVENUE NW.
Mr. Bednarz explained the Planning and Zoning Commission is asked to review a
residential sketch plan for a single family urban residential development.
Mr. Bednarz reviewed the criteria with the Commission.
Mr. Bednarz stated 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
Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes — October 14, 2003
Page 5
• 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.
Mr. Bednarz discussed with the Commission the sketch plan.
Commissioner Kirchoff stated some people have asked for two accesses onto 161`. He
did not see any reason for this because they are so close together anyway; he wondered
what the purpose would be for this. Mr. Bednarz stated they are showing only one access
with the alternate being a cul -de -sac. If there were a second access with no cul -de -sac,
they would need feedback from the Anoka County Highway Department to see how
those accesses would work. He stated a second access would be very desirable for safety
reasons.
Commissioner Jasper asked which street is a feeder street. Mr. Bednarz stated the
collector street would be which ever access would come off of County Road 20 and
• extend to the North edge.
Commissioner Gamache asked if they were to go with the second scenario, the little
square is ghosted in on one plan and is shown as an access on the other plan, is that piece
of property part of this development or not. W. Bednarz stated this is something for the
developer to answer because he is not sure. Mr. Scott Wold, with Pentagon Holdings
said this is showing what could be proposed in the future. They do not own the property.
Commissioner Gamache stated the reason he brought this up is because in plan two the
access is going through the lot. Mr. Wold stated whichever one is more viable and
desirable for both Planning and Council, they may go forward with and invite this into
the plat.
Commissioner Kirchoff stated they are looking at 47.5 acres and if they would include
the other acres and would this have the effect on the number of units. Mr. Wold stated he
understood it would. Mr. Bednarz stated the 2.5 acre parcel of land is currently outside
of the MUSA and they would have to petition the City to have this brought into the
MUSA.
Commissioner Vatne stated on the NW part of the property, that is the wetland, will that
be impacted by the hydrology study once it is completed in that the lots that are adjacent
to that may or may not be buildable. Mr. Bednarz stated the hydrology study will show
right where the line falls. He stated that right now it is an estimate. He explained that the
Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes — October 14, 2003
Page 6
line may be pulled back and there may be more buildable area, but the study still needs to •
be done to determine exactly what the elevation of the floodplain is.
Commissioner Gamache stated the measurement on this property has to go all the way
back to 161 " Ave. NW. Mr. Bednarz stated this is correct

carved on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote.
There was no public input.
Motion by Gamache, seconded by Casey, to close the public hearing at 7:47 p.m. Motion
carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote.
Commissioner Greenwald stated this is another item with a long cul-de -sac and there
would need to be a rezoning with this. Mr. Bednarz stated the rezoning would come with
the plat.
Commissioner Gamache stated he liked plan two because it takes the traffic off the main
road. Commissioner Greenwald stated this also lengthens the length of the cul -de -sac
from 161 "Ave. NW.
Discussion ensued in regards to the length of the cul -de -sac, wetlands and the type of
housing proposed.
Chairperson Daninger explained there is a big concern about a feeder street. They should
look at the sketch plan not having driveways on a feeder street. He stated the developer
also needed to look at changing the roads to not include such a long cul -de -sac.
Chairperson Daninger stated that the number of units needs to meet the sewer access
allowed by Council and they need to have the hydrology report. He stated he would like
more definition on townhomes.
Commissioner Gamache stated he would prefer to see single family homes in this
development and to exclude townhomes.
Commissioner Kirchoff suggested they may not want to pursue two access points off of
161 because they will be right next to each other and would be a waste. He stated to get
this to work, they should look at the possibility of an emergency access be developed to
the level the Fire Chief has recommended.
Mr. Wold explained the roads in the development are all designed and they have done a
wetland delineation and the road is configured in such a way that moving this over will
not allow them to bring the road to the north. He does not know any other way of putting
a feeder street in to the north. He stated that this is what the City has said they want. As
Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes — October 14, 2003
Page 7
• far as access, he does not think the County will allow them two accesses six hundred feet
apart.
Mr. Wold stated that they are coming up with a sketch on the townhomes. They are
using the townhomes as a buffer between the railroad tracks and the single family
housing. He stated that the reason for the deep long lots is because of the wetlands that
are there. He stated they have delineated so this will not adjust how the lots will lay out
once the wetland study is done. The wetland study was done by Wenk Engineering, who
does the engineering and approvals for the Coon Creek Watershed District. This property
is the headwaters for the Rum River so they will contain water in the development and
surrounding areas will not impact this development.
Commissioner Jasper asked if they have explored a second access across the railroad
tracks. Mr. Wold stated right now this is a private access and they do not have this access
purchased.
Discussion continued in regards to the length of the cul -de -sac and future connection to
the north.
Chairperson Daninger asked Mr. Wold if he had enough guidance from the discussion.
Mr. Wold asked how he is supposed to run the cul -de -sac for future connection to the
north without having a long cul -de -sac. Chairperson Daninger stated they understood his
dilemma but they are guided by the current ordinance in effect.
Mr. Bednarz stated that perhaps the North end of the development should not be allowed
to develop until a street connection can be made.
The Commission continued to discuss cul -de -sac length.
PUBLIC HEARING: COMPREHENSIVE PLANAMENDMENT (03 -07) TO
EXTEND THE METROPOLITAN URBAN SERVICE AREA BOUNDARY(MUSA)
TO INCLUDE PROPERTY LOCATED WEST OF NIGHTINGALE ESTATES
THIRD ADDITION.
Mr. Bednarz explained 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.
Mr. Bednarz discussed the staff report with the Commission.
Commissioner Kirchoff stated Rural Reserve has a connotation that this will be a rural
• area preserved for the future and this is not the intention, it is to make orderly growth in
Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes — October 14, 2003
Page 8
the future and to allow future sewer capacity and water needs based on the three and a •
half units per acre and this will develop into a residential setting sometime in the future.
Mr. Bednarz stated the intent of the Rural Reserve was to set aside 1,000 acres for future
urban development and to put growth restrictions on it in the interim to prevent rural
subdivisions from el iminatin g that possibility.
Commissioner Jasper stated the first thing that occurred to him was the only road access
was outside of the MT SA and in the Rural Reserve that is not in the request to change.
He wondered how this is accomplished if it is not part of the proposal and do they own
the land. Mr. Bednarz stated in terms of constructing the roadway through the property
that can be accomplished through property that is in Ag Preserve or in Rural Reserve. In
terms of constructing a roadway through property that is in Ag. Preserve, the expense of
that improvement would be bom by that developer and could not be assessed back to that
Ag property at any time in the future. It can be done but it would be wholly paid for by
the development.
Commissioner Jasper asked why there was a swap and why can't they develop the land
that is already in the MUSA. Mr. Bednara stated this would be a question for the
developer.
Motion by Gamache, seconded by Kirchoff, to open the public hearing at 8:40 p.m.
Motion carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote.
•
Mr. Dan Johnson asked if it would be better for the developer to give his viewpoint
before the audience asks questions. Chairperson Daninger and the Commission thought
this would be fine.
Mr. Byron Westlund, Woodland Development, explained his reasons for the land swap.
Mr. Westlund stated from the beginning Woodland Development and the Slyzek family
requested this piece of property not be included in the Rural Reserve. He stated the
property is serviced for City sewer and water and is stubbed to a five acre piece to the
west of Woodland Estates 4 Addition and they do own the 5.1 acres that is next to it
where the proposed roadway is going to go through, it is in Ag. Preserve and has been
withdrawn and is due to come out in 2007. He stated it has always been their intent to
develop that as well as another five acre piece to the south.
Commissioner Gamache stated the property to the south they are proposing to swap with,
what is the landowners thought on this land. Mr. Westlund stated this is the Slyzek
family that owns this land and they are aware of the request and support them on this.
Mr. Johnson, 2165 154th Lane, stated that after listening to them tonight, as far as a land
swap, he did not think this would fit into the plans because it will be an isolated piece of
land by itself and will have a big cul -de -sac. He asked how the City knows it will fit into •
the future of the Rural Reserve.
Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes — October 14, 2003
Page 9
• Mr. Dave Longermet, 2279 154 Lane NW, stated he is not opposed to development in
this neighborhood. He is opposed to the MUSA switch because the plan was going to be
that the development would not be in the next five to seven years, than the area west of
Nightingale Estates would be able to be developed. This gives the neighborhood time to
plan.
Mr. Jerry Hippa, 15330 Uplander Street NW, explained he agreed with what the others
mentioned and it appeared to him to be a leap frog type of decision. He stated he thought
this would be more advantageous for the land owner and developer than it would be for
the community.
Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Vatne, to close the public hearing at 8:51 p.m.
Motion carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote.
Chairperson Daninger asked what the future plans were for the development to the north.
Mr. Westlund stated the future development to the north is not in their business plan and
they do not have any rights to that property. He has talked to another developer
regarding properties in the area.
Chairperson Daninger stated if they recommend denial of the swap, when they would
develop the property they want to swap. Mr. Westlund stated he does not have an interest
• in developing this property because of the peat and the Slyzuk family does not have any
interest in selling this land because of the good farmland.
Commissioner Vatne stated if this swap were to take place, it would put into the Rural
Reserve, property that is less developable. This has been a concern all along with the
amount of acreage and number of units that could be developed.
Discussion ensued in regards to the Rural Reserve and the proposed swap.
Commissioner Gamache stated he is totally against the swap because this would be
leapfrogging and he would like to see orderly development and by recommending the
swap, they will end up with small developments everywhere and nothing will get
connected to each other.
Commissioner Kirchoff asked if there would be a cost to the City if they allowed this
land to swap and be developed. Mr. Bednarz stated the development would be required
to pay for all infrastructure costs.
Commissioner Greenwald asked if both pieces of land would allow the same number of
houses to be constructed. Mr. Westlund stated he did not know this. Commissioner
Greenwald stated this would be the cost, tax revenue.
• Commissioner Casey stated he failed to see what is wrong with the proposal.
Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting

•
Commissioner Kirchoff stated the area is planned for urban development. He was in
favor of the proposal.
Discussion continued regarding how the Rural Reserve was decided at the time and how
in depth was it discussed at the time.
Commissioner Jasper stated this spring the City had detailed discussion regarding the
Rural Reserve and they went through a long process and the decision was made to
include this property in the Rural Reserve. He thought this was premature to allow the
swap.
Commissioner Vatne explained he agreed. He thought it was critical that the plans for
the future be defined on how they are going to route their transportation systems, what
they are going to do with their waterways and the treatment of the ditches. He thought
they needed to have a better understanding of the developments that will be proposed.
He stated he did not think they had enough definition as to how this will work to make an
approval like this. The onus is on the developers and landowners if they want to speed
the process along and he thought it was critical to get a better understanding of what the
roadways are going to look like, how the hydrology studies are conducted such that they
understand the water flow. All of this needs to be done in a timely manner, so the
development can be allowed to proceed. •
Commissioner Gamache stated he agreed with Commissioner Vatne.
Mr. Westlund stated he thought they have gone quite extensive in trying to plan, given
the information that is required by the City. He stated they have gone outside the
boundaries of their plat, they have looked at the transportation plan, and they have
addressed park issues and are looking at storm sewer issues. He stated they have gone
beyond even what the City has done. He stated there has been a lot of thought to this.
Motion by Kirchoff, seconded by Casey, to recommend to the City Council approval of
Resolution No. , approving the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment allowing
expansion of the MUSA boundary and adjustment of the sewer staging plan as requested.
Motion failed on a 2 -ayes, 5 -nays (Jasper, Vatne, Greenwald, Gamache, and Daninger),
0- absent vote.
Chairperson Daninger stated the motion failed and a new motion needed to be made.
Motion by Gamache, seconded by Vatne, to recommend to the City Council denial of
Resolution No. , denying the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment to allow
expansion of the MUSA boundary and adjustment of the sewer staging plan as requested.
Commissioner Gamache stated he made this motion because he does not feel comfortable •
making a favorable motion because the City has put a plan together not that long ago.
Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting

Page 11
Commissioner Vatne stated it is not a short coming in the work that has been done by the
developer. It is a mismatch between where the City is at and being able to move to
execute the proposed plan.
Chairperson Daninger stated he did not believe it was advisable to move ahead without a
plan for the Rural Reserve.
Commissioner Greenwald stated he did not see the hardship on the real reason for the
switch. The Commission knows that eventually they will both be developed.
Commissioner Kirchoff stated this is unusual in that they do not usually see the same
property owner swap out land he was in favor of the proposal.
Commissioner Jasper stated this is a timing issue to him. They have just gotten through
the Rural Reserve, they have not had time to look at what should happen with that
property as a whole and until that decision is made, it is premature to do this.
Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 2 -nays ( Kirchoff, Casey), 0- absent vote.

PUBLIC HEARING: RESIDENTIAL SKETCH PLAN FOR AN URBAN
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED BY WOODLAND DEVELOPMENT
FOR PROPERTYLOCATED WEST OF NIGHTINGALE ESTA TES THIRD
ADDITION.
Mr. Bednarz explained the Planning and Zoning Commission is asked to review a
residential sketch plan for a single family urban residential development..
Mr. Bednarz reviewed the staff report with the Commission.
Commissioner Kirchoff asked why lawn maintenance of lots 2, 3, and 5 will be difficult
due to the location of the pond. Mr. Bednarz stated this regards the sketch plan where
they have lots r unning through the pond. If they had lots with that orientation, they
would have trouble accessing the rear of the property to mow the lawn. The revised
sketch addresses that concern with locating a neighborhood park there.
Motion by Casey, seconded by Kirchoff, to open the public hearing at 9:30 p.m. Motion
carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote.
Mr. Dave Long, 2279 154'' Lane NW, stated he had a couple of questions and concerns.
• He stated the first concern is traffic safety. He stated he lives on Crosstown Boulevard
Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes — October 14, 2003
Page 12
which is two lanes and he wondered when this County Road would be developed to make
•
it a safer road. The second concern is they have to put a price on crime prevention and
residents will have to look for ways to secure their items on their property with more
people roaming around in the neighborhoods.
Chairperson Daninger asked in regards to development to the County Road, is the
development paying for the upgrades of these roads. Mr. Bednarz stated the developer
pays for all the roads within the development. Outside of the development; the City is
looking to upgrade Nightingale St. in 2005 -2006. This is within the cities control and
would be funded by State Aid. Crosstown Boulevard, a County road, is dependent upon
the County. The City can contribute state aid to a project, but the timing is up to Anoka
County.
Mr. Dan Johnson, 2165 154 Lane, explained the history of Andover's sewer and water
over the years.
Mr. Johnson explained some of his concerns with the development is that this is one large
cul -de -sac and all of the other developments surrounding the proposed development are
all hypothetical. They are currently only looking at one access into one isolated piece of
property.
Mr. Johnson stated he was concerned with the traffic on 152 Lane NW. He thought the
for be considered down the road.
timing this was premature and should
Mr. Jerry Hippa, 15330 Uplander, stated his comment is to just make sure there is a more
defined plan of where the roads will go from this development before the development is
approved so there is not any problems in the future.
Motion by Gamache, seconded by Vatne, to close the public hearing at 9:40 p.m. Motion
carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote.
The Commission took a recess at 9:41 p.m.
Commissioners Gamache and Greenwald left the meeting at 9:41 p.m.
The Commission reconvened at 9:46 p.m.
Mr. Westlund stated there has been a lengthy discussion about the access in and out of
the development. They have looked at this at length and on the sketch plan, from 152
to 161` there is continuation of streets going to the north, south, and west. As far as
transportation issues they have done what they think is as good as can be done.
Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes — October 14, 2003
Page 13
• Mr. Westlund stated as far as planning, they took into account the park concerns and the
ponding issues. They created a drainage ponding and a neighborhood park for the area.
Mr. Westlund discussed the transportation problems and what they have done to alleviate
it.
Commissioner Kirchoff stated the Fire Chief cannot recommend anything that goes
beyond five hundred feet, however, they are a developing City and they would never be
able to build any road without the temporary cul -de -sac situations.
Chairperson Daninger asked why a developer puts a pond by the park. Mr. Bednarc
stated there was not a generalized answer to that.
Commissioner Jasper commented on the site plan. He stated he understands the residents
concern regarding the traffic but he does not see any other choice because the land that
has been developed around it leaves no other choice.
Commissioner Kirchoff stated that people like cul -de -sacs. By adding a north/south
street, it would help out with the traffic flow. He stated he thought this was a good
development.
Commissioner Casey agreed.
Chairperson Daninger stated they always like the ghost plat to give them ideas and to
have two accesses coming out of it, adds to it and helps in the future.
Commissioner Vatne stated in reading the staff report, it was noted that the majority of
Council members indicated they would accept the single access into the development.
He asked if this was a one time occurrence where they would accept this or would this be
in a general sense. If they were to accept this as a general issue, it may have some
bearing on the five hundred foot cul -de -sac rule they are trying to abide by so there may
be an issue with the requirement on the cul -de -sac. Mr. Neumeister stated he was at the
meeting and the Council deliberated on this and because there would be future
connections on the north and west, they were willing to accept this because it was similar
to some other developments where in the short term, it was a one way in, but ultimately it
would be extended so they were willing to look at this.
Chairperson summarized the concerns of the Commission regarding the cul-de -sac and
traffic involving the development.
W. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the November 4, 2003
City Council meeting.

PUBLIC HEARING: REZONEVG REQUEST TO CHANGE THE ZONING
DESIGNATIONFROM GENERAL BUSINESS (GB) TO MULTIPLEDWELLING
(M-2) FOR "VILLASATANDOVER STATION".
Mr. Cross explained the Planning and Zoning Commission is asked to review the
proposed rezoning to allow for residential development on a parcel in Andover Station.
Mr. Cross discussed the information with the Commission.
Commissioner Kirchoff stated with this development being in close proximity to Target
and Festival, was there a trail to allow the people access to both shopping areas. Mr.
Neumeister showed on the site plan where the trail would be.
Commissioner Vatne asked in item eight, it talks about being currently zoned for
Commercial Use only and being rezoned to Residential Development. In item nine, it
talks about the property being currently guided for Urban Residential High Density on
the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. He wondered how this could be zoned one way and
the Comprehensive Plan identifies this in another direction. Mr. Neumeister stated in this
case, there is a redevelopment area identified by the City's EDA. They were reluctant to
rezone until they actually had a development they wanted to pursue.
Commissioner Jasper asked if the gate monuments were decorative and not operational.
Mr. Neumeister stated that was correct. .
Commissioner Jasper asked in the various motions, where it indicates the various outlots
will not be allowed and will be reincorporated into the property. Mr. Neumeister stated it
would be under the plat, but he did not see it in there, so they would need to add this as a
condition to the motion.
Commissioner Jasper asked if the picture of Wrenwood Hills was his development and
would this development look like that one.
Mr. Greg Schlink, representing Bruggeman Properties, 3564 Rollingview Drive stated
Wrenwood Hills was very representative of this project. It was their idea that this ties in
with Andover Station so they can be compatible with it. The pathway system will
connect to Andover Station. He stated on the garages, they have changed the plans to
extend the garages two feet longer and two feet wider per the EDA's recommendation.
Chairperson Daninger asked if staff was comfortable with the design of the unit. W.
Neumeister stated they were.
Chairperson Daninger asked regarding Station Parkway, they talked about landscaping
for residential but not for Station Parkway. He asked if staff was comfortable with the
landscaping in the development. Mr. Neumeister showed a layout of the proposed

SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: Conditional Use Permit (03 -13) for a two family home
conversion at 2525/2527 138` Avenue NW.
DATE: November 12, 2003
INTRODUCTION
The applicant is proposing to create a separate property for each side of the existing twinhouse.
The applicant will also be participating in the City's CDBG Rental Rehabilitation Program
which offers low interest loans to assist in the renovation of rental properties.
DISCUSSION
12 -8 -1: TWO - FAMILY HOME CONVERSIONS (SPLITS):
A. Two - family home conversions (splits) may be permitted following issuance of a conditional
use permit (which shall be reviewed and pertinent data regarding the unit shall be provided,
including, but not limited to, submission of a survey setting out each individual lot and its
location along said party wall). Each dwelling unit shall be provided with individual sewer
stubs, individual wells or sources of water, separate power supply to each living unit, one
hour fire separation between living units, and that a party wall agreement and covenant
document, including an arbitration clause, shall be entered into by all affected parties. These
upgrades to the structure and providing the city a copy of the party wall agreement and
covenant documents by the applicant must take place prior to release of the resolution
approving the two - family home split.
B. in the event a two- family home is lacking the required garage space and /or the
minimum housing unit size, the applicant must obtain a variance or bring the unit up
to current standards. In the event a unit falls below the nine hundred sixty (960)
square foot minimum and is more than fifty percent (50 %) destroyed (as determined
by the building official), the unit will be required to be rebuilt to meet the minimum of
nine hundred sixty (960) square feet and also have a garage that meets the
minimum size requirement. This would become a standard condition of any variance
to structure size (if it were granted). If the building is improperly located on the lot
such that it requires a variance to setbacks, a variance will be required to be granted
or the unit will not be allowed to be split. (Ord. 8000QQQ, 10 -1 -2002)
0
P
Party Wall Fire Rating
A one hour fire rating is required on both sides of the wall. This protection must be extended
from the foundation to the roof deck and does not currently exist. This improvement will be •
required as a condition of approval.
Party Wall Agreement
A parry wall agreement is required to cover such things as repair and reconstruction of the wall
as well as exterior maintenance of the units.
Separate Utilities
Separate connections to municipal sewer and other utilities (electricity, phone, gas, cable)
presently exist. A new well will be required as a condition of approval to provide separate water
supply to each unit.

Minimum House Size
Neither unit conforms to the minimum house size required by the M -2 Zoning district. As
described above a variance is needed to this requirement. The variance would expire at the time
the unit is damaged beyond 50% of its value. If one unit is so damaged and the other is only
partially damaged the other unit could be repaired and continue to exist as a conforming
structure.
Lot Width
The lot width requirement is based on two units that share the same property. At the present
time there is no provision to account for any other type of arrangement. As a result, a variance
will be necessary to the lot width requirement to allow the conversion to occur.
0
Side Yard Setback
The units do not meet the side yard setback requirement, which is greater than the requirement
for single family homes. A variance to this requirement is needed to allow the conversion to
occur. 0
—2 -
These variances are recommended due to the fact that the existing structure and property are
presently non - conforming, which prevents the City from issuing building permits to allow the
• structure to be renovated.
Minimum Garage Size
No garages exist on the property presently. The applicant is proposing to construct a garage on
each property as a part of the renovation. A condition of approval will require a garage to be
constructed to meet the M -2 Zoning District Requirements.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Planning Commission is asked to recommend approval of the proposed two family home
conversion subject to the conditions in the attached resolution.

PUBLIC HEARING Lot Split (03 -04) to create a new rural residential lot from
property located at 1869 157' Lane NW.
November 12, 2003
INTRODUCTION
The property owner is seeking approval to divide the subject property into two single - family
rural residential lots.
DISCUSSION
The property owner (Jerry Putnam) is proposing to split their 6.86 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.
The applicant had applied for a variance to the 160 -foot minimum requirement for cul -de -sac lot
frontage in the R -1 rural residential district. The City Council was advised by the City Attorney
that a variance was not necessary at the October 7, 2003 Council meeting. The new lot is in
conformance with the minimum lot frontage requirement.
Conformance with City Code
The proposed lot split is in conformance with the minimum requirements of City Code Title 12-
3-4. The following table compares the proposed lots with the regulations for the Single - Family
Rural Residential Zoning District (R -1):

Availability of City Sewer and Water
This area is located within the MUSA with city sewer & 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
although there has been no indication from these residents that they plan to do so. It is logical
that at some point in the future, Linnet Street may be extended to connect with 157"' Avenue to
the south to serve a future urban development. It is recommended that the applicant be required
to dedicate a sufficient easement to connect the existing right -of -way of Linnet Street to 157
Avenue. This has been included as a condition of the resolution. The roadway easement will .
include half the width of the future right -of -way. The properties to the west would then dedicate
the other half when the area develops. Attached is a ghost plat of surrounding properties
illustrating how the extension of Linnet Street may tie into a future urban development.
Easements
A separate easement document is necessary to establish the typical 10 -foot drainage & utility
easement around the perimeter of both properties along with a 30 -foot roadway easement along
the west property line for the future extension of Linnet Street.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council approve the proposed lot split with the conditions included in the
resolution.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Planning Commission is requested to recommend approval of the proposed lot split.

Yoarth Ministry
We offer an exciting youth ministry, led by Pastor Jeremy Allard, which provides a setting for teens to build
friendships, study how God impacts their daily lives, and have a lot of fun! Our youth meet for an Informal time
of fun and fellowship every Wednesday evening (Sept.- April), in addition to their Sunday School Classes. They.
also enjoy a variety of special events and activities each month. Our goal is to extend unconditional love a
encouragement to youth as we point them to the life- changing love and power of God for their lives.
Special Events
Developing friendships with God and one another involves spending time together. That's why we offer special
events for the whole church family throughout the year, including summer programs for the kids, potlucks and
picnics, family camp, trips and outings, and more.

.00n Rapids Christian Church
Worship
Ne meet each Sunday morning at 8:15 & 10:30 a.m. for a time of dynamic worship and practical study of the
31ble. We see this setting as a time of "shared dialogue" with God — we share our hearts with Him in song and
prayer, and He shares His heart with us through His Word. The setting is informal and comfortable.
fur music is led by a worship team, typically consisting of vocalists, keyboard, guitar, and other instruments.
V�4
Ne sing a wide variety of music, from fast- moving celebrative choruses to time - honored grand hymns to
ntimate songs of quiet prayer and adoration.
fur study of the Bible is focused, exegetical, and relevant. We typically study through whole books of the Bible
'n message series, including both the Old and New Testament, though we occasionally take a more topical
rch to our study to see what God says about specific issues that face our church family and our
unity.
Sur children go to either Primary or Junior Worship depending on their age. These worship experiences are
-0esigned to be an exciting time to learn about God. The program includes music,
stories, skits, and hands -on activities that bring worship and the Bible to life for
young ages.
Ne also provide nursery care for infants and toddlers during our worship services to assist parents in meeting
Nith God without distraction, and to give children a great experience with church at a young age.
;unday School
31ble classes for all ages are offered each Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. We use interactive learning to see how
:he Bible applies to the events of our lives. Of course, nursery is provided for infants and toddlers.
Small groups of adults meeting in homes are at the very heart of our church family.
They provide an excellent opportunity to develop friendships, study the Bible, pray
together, and care for one anther's needs. If you can only participate in one activity
In the life of our church, this is it!

of being bumped or scraped by people, vehicles and equipment. The combination of materials
• and treatments will be revised through the Commercial Site Plan Review process.
Utilities
The property is located outside the Municipal Urban Service Boundary (MUSA) and does not
have access to municipal sewer and water. As a result, a private well and septic system will be
needed. The structure will also need to be sprinklered for public safety, which means a large
water storage facility is also needed.
Future Expansion
The church plans to expand as its congregation grows in the future. The attached plans illustrate
potential expansion of the church and classrooms in the future. The phase two classroom
addition is shown at two stories with a total of 24,000 square feet. The phase three church
addition is shown at 16,000 square feet with an occupancy of 500 people. The phase one
worship space would be converted to gymnasium space. These phases are not part of the
approval that is requested with this application. Future phases of the church would need to be
approved through a future public hearing process.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the proposed conditional use permit to allow a church in a
residential zoning district. Future phases of the church will need to be reviewed and approved in
the future.
• ACTION REQUESTED
The Planning Commission is asked to recommend approval of the proposed church subject to the
conditions in the attached resolution and any additional conditions added by the Commission.

Parking area
The number of required parking stalls is based on the seating capacity of the auditorium (1 stall •
per three seats). Additional parking spaces can be required if the site will be used for other
purposes (classrooms, office space, etc.) if these uses occur at the same time that the auditorium
will be used. The parking area is designed to provide 189 parking stalls. City Code 12 -14 -10
requires 166 stalls based on all of the different uses of the building being active at the same time.
Parking Area Lighting
The parking area is proposed to be illuminated by freestanding downcast lighting in several of
the landscaped islands within the parking area. The lighting would be coordinated by a timing
system that will be set to turn off after activities at the church are completed. This is an item
under the review of the conditional use permit that can be limited. The attached lighting plan
illustrates the level of lighting that is proposed. Sufficient information will need to be provided
to demonstrate that light will not encroach onto neighboring properties. The lighting will be
required to be provided with cutoff and shielded light fixtures to direct light downward and to
prevent glare.
Screening of Parking Area
City Code 12- 14 -10E. requires parking areas to be screened from adjacent residential properties.
This screening can consist of berming, landscaping and/or fencing at the discretion of the
Planning Commission and City Council. The attached landscaping plan will need to be revised
to address the City's screening requirements. If the Planning Commission has any suggestions
on how the screening should be provided, please share these at the meeting. •
Storm Water Treatment/Retention
A storm water pond is proposed to be constructed along the east side of the property as shown on
the attached plan. The capacity of the storm water facilities will be examined in more detail
during Commercial Site Plan Review to ensure the ponds will be adequately sized and prevent
adverse impacts on existing wetlands or surrounding properties.
Signage
City Code 12- 14 -9g. limits institutional uses in residential zones to a maximum of 100 square
feet of signage. The proposed sign is shown between the entrances to the site along South Coon
Creek Drive. The sign is approximately 30 square feet in size per side for a total of 60 square
feet. The top portion of the sign bearing the name of the church would be illuminated using
backlit lighting. The message board is proposed to be illuminated with ground mounted lighting
as shown on the plan.
Architecture
Elevations of the proposed church are attached. The base of the building is primarily constructed
with rock faced block. A combination of Exterior Insulated Finishing System (EIFS) and a
refined steel siding product is proposed for a majority of the exterior. The steel siding is finished
with a durable stucco -like material for aesthetics and insulated to provide increased construction
value and fire protection over materials like stucco and EIFS. A material sample will be
available for review at the meeting. •
The south building elevation needs to provide block at the base of the building. EIFS and steel
siding are not building materials that should be used at the base of buildings due to the likelihood

PUBLIC HEARING: Conditional Use Permit (03 -12) for a church to be
located in a residential district at 2880 South Coon Creek Drive.
November 12, 2003
INTRODUCTION
The Coon Rapids Christian Church is proposing to construct a new church on the subject
property. Churches are conditional uses in residential zoning districts. The Planning
Commission is asked to determine whether this use is appropriate and/or needs to be modified to
prevent adverse impacts on surrounding properties. Conditional Use Permit review allows
reasonable conditions to be attached to the approval to prevent negative impacts on surrounding
properties.
DISCUSSION
Uses of Property
Church
The primary component of the proposal is the worship space that would seat approximately 320
people. Services are typically held on Sundays at 8:15 and 10:30 a.m. The second service is the
larger of the two with attendance of approximately 120 people.
Classrooms
Bible classes are held Sunday at 9:30 a.m. These classes serve approximately 125 people.
Wednesday Evenings
Dinner and class run from 6 to 8pm and serve approximately 50 people.
Special Events
Special events include an annual meeting and a limited number of other events.
Access
The site has access to South Coon Creek Drive. Although there is presently limited traffic on
this roadway, it was designed and constructed to be a collector level street. The applicant is in
the process of preparing a traffic report that will describe any roadway improvements necessary
at the entrances to the site. A condition of approval will require construction of any
• improvements recommended by the traffic report.

SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: Conditional Use Permit (03 -11) for a drive through facility
for Walgreens located at the southeast comer of Bunker Lake Boulevard and Quinn
Street NW.
DATE: November 12, 2003
INTRODUCTION
The developer on behalf of Walgreens has applied for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a drive -thru
pharmacy. The proposed Walgreens will be located in Andover Station East between Festival Foods
and the proposed Target Greatland.
DISCUSSION
City Code Title 11 -13 -3 requires a Conditional Use Permit to allow a "drive -in business or businesses
with a drive through window" in the General Business district. Review of these permits is intended
to review vehicle circulation, adequate stacking for vehicles, and to ensure the noise and lighting
associated with this type of use will not adversely affect surrounding properties. The noise and
lighting generated by the drive -thru are less of a concern due to the fact that the site is surrounded by
commercial uses of a similar nature.
The drive -thru pharmacy will be located on the south side of the building adjacent to the service road
and will include two drive -up lanes with a covered canopy and one through lane. There are two
banks and one fast food establishment within Andover who have similar drive -thru windows in
addition to two drive -thru windows proposed as a part of the Andover Clocktower Commons
Development.
SITE DESIGN
It should be noted that the proposed plan indicates a 15 -foot setback for the drive lane at the
northwest corner of the building whereas the minimum city standard is 20 -feet. This item will be
addressed during the Commercial Site Plan Review.
BUILDING DESIGN
Building elevations are attached. This item will be addressed during the Commercial Site Plan
Review.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Planning Commission is requested to recommend approval of the proposed Conditional U
9 Permit.

Staff's Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Conditional Use Permit.

TO: Planning and Zoning Commissioners
FROM: Courtney Bednarz, City Plann4
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: Lot Split (02 -09) to create two rural residential lots from
property located at 16030 Makah Street NW.
DATE: November 12, 2003
INTRODUCTION
The applicant has asked the City to reconsider the proposed lot split in light of the changes that
were made to the Zoning Ordinance in regard to minimum lot width, depth and area.
Background
The proposed lot split was denied by the Council in December of 2002 based on a lack of
findings. A similar request was denied by the Council in July of 1997 for the same reason.
In June of this year, the Council approved an ordinance amendment to allow lot splits for lots
that meet two of the three size requirements and are at least 90% of the third requirement. (lot
width, depth and area).
The applicant subsequently completed a survey that showed a lot split could be created that met
the lot depth and area requirements. The lot width at the setback line would be 269.165 for each
lot or 89.72% of the requirement.
An item was brought to the Council earlier this year to propose rounding the 89.72% up to 90%
to allow the lot split to be approved without a variance to the minimum lot width requirement.
The implication being that future proposals that were at least 89.5% of the requirement would be
rounded up to 90 %. This approach was validated by the City Council.
DISCUSSION
The attached survey illustrates the proposed lot split.

Pipeline Easement
A natural gas pipeline runs diagonally through the property. A fifty foot wide easement exists •
over the pipeline. There remains sufficient space to locate a house on the new property that
would be created if the lot split is approved.
Drainage and Utility Easements
The applicant should be required to provide the typical ten foot wide drainage and utility
easements for rural properties. This has been added as a condition of approval.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the lot split based on the interpretation of the City Code discussed
in the report subject to the conditions in the attached resolution.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Planning Commission is asked to recommend approval of the proposed lot split.

If Council chooses to a w establishments to be able to sell liquor until 2:00 am a public hearing
must be scheduled. If Coun ' wishes the closed hour to remain at 1:00 am, the ordinance must be
amended. If the hours are change 2:00 am, the bar owners must apply to the State for a permit to

the hours to be extended beyond the current

Motion carried unanimously.
0 CONSIDER ORDINANCE AMENDMENT /ORDINANCE 8, SECTION 6.02 MINIMUM
DISTRICT PROVISIONS
Community Development Director Neumeister noted the Council asked the Planning
Commission to review an ordinance amendment that would allow lot splits 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.
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 ninety percent of
the third.
The proposed ordinance amendment will allow flexibility for infill lots in both urban and rural
neighborhoods. As demonstrated with 1415 Andover Boulevard, infill lots may have
development constraints that would otherwise prevent efficient use of the land.
Mr. Neumeister explained there were some word changes in the Ordinance that he wanted to
point out. "Lot splits shall may be allowed" to give the Council some discretion because it is
permissive rather than mandatory. The second is under point number one "This provision shall
•

only apply to a lot split eentainin which results in no more than two lots." The last change is
"each lot within the proposed lot split shall provide at least ninety percent of the requirements
--- ---
that cannot be met for only one of the requirements ". City Attorney Hawkins stated he did not
think the additional wording is needed for item three.
Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Trude, to approve the Ordinance Amendment to Ordinance 8,
Section 6.02 with the changes recommended by staff.
Councilmember Trude stated she talked to Mr. Bednarz about another situation where this
change will not work because the problem is where they measure the setback. She stated
normally they measure the width at the setback line and in some cases if they could measure the
width at the property line or the setback line, whichever is greater, it would allow people to not
have to go into the category and Mr. Bednarz thought it would be something to look at. She
wondered if the rest of the Council would support this change. Councilmembers Jacobson and
Orttel stated they would be willing to look at it but until they had more information, they would
not approve it.
Motion carried unanimously. (Ord. 8CCCCCCC)
• CW�NICATE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL APPROVAL -RURAL RESERVE AREA &
RE RESTRICTIONS ON CERTAIN PROPERTIES
Community bevelopment Director Neumeister explained the Metropolitan Council staff has
informed the Ci at the full Metropolitan Council has approved the 964 acres selected for the
"Rural Reserve ".
Councilmember Orttel state ough the entire process, they had a group that had eighty acres
on the railroad tracks that were p ng for this and now they 250 acres. Mr. Neumeister stated
when the engineering staff, planning, dministration and billing departments sat down and
discussed this item the past week, they didpot know exactly which areas would be agreed upon
to receive the sewer because there is only ei -eight acres of capacity and they need to come
back to the Council with more information as to ch areas would be recommended for gravity
sewer because they have a pipe on Vale and Crane eets that could be extended and it may be
more favorable to extend one and not the other. Withou a detailed information, they did not
want to release this until City Council reviewed it.
Councilmember Orttel asked how long it would be before the matte resolved. Mr.
Neumeister stated the July 15th Council meeting would do it. Counci ber Orttel asked if
they should table this until that meeting. Mr. Neumeister stated they could it would not need
to be.
Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Jacobson, to approve of removing certain areas from
Reserve ". Motion carried unanimously. (Resolution R130 -03)
