REGULATING LIGHTING IN OFF STREET PARKING F411X, FN E Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — March 9, 2004 Page 4 • Mr. Bednarz explained City Code 12 -14 -10 D. 8. requires parking lots to be illuminated a minimum of one footcandle as measured at ground level. With the intent of updating lighting standards and limiting light pollution, staff is proposing to modify the existing city code in accordance with recommendation from the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA). Mr. Bednarz discussed the information with the Planning Commission. Commissioner Kirchoff asked how limiting the thirty feet in height affect ball diamonds or stadiums. Mr. Bednarz stated ball field lighting will be higher than thirty feet. This Ordinance applies only to parking lots. Commissioner Jasper stated Target typically uses taller lighting than thirty feet. He wondered if they will be using thirty feet tall fixtures at Andover Station. Mr. Bednarz stated Target has proposed using different heights of lighting in their parking lot and the tallest will be thirty-eight feet and the City will be working with them in trying to revise their lighting plan for that development if the ordinance amendment is approved as proposed. Commissioner Gamache asked if Target did not wish to revise, would they be grandfathered into the old Ordinance or would they have to comply with this. Mr. • Bednarz stated timing would be an issue. If Target would be issued a building permit before this Ordinance became effective, then it could not be applied to them. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if the existing lighting at Andover Station and Festival Foods were higher than thirty feet. Mr. Bednarz stated the lighting is around thirty feet high. Commissioner Greenwald asked what the justification of thirty feet was. Mr. Bednarz stated it was somewhat of a uniform height for commercial areas. Commissioner Greenwald asked what their current City Code was. Mr. Bednarz stated there is not a height limit at this time. Commissioner Greenwald asked what the surrounding communities have for height code. Mr. Bednarz stated the municipalities they have looked at have the same codes Andover has. Not well defined in terms of height and fixtures. Discussion ensued in regards to changing the Ordinance to thirty feet maximum. Commissioner Greenwald stated he is not comfortable with going with thirty feet and he wondered what Coon Rapids used in building the Riverdale area. Mr. Bednarz stated he was not sure if they had a maximum height. He stated they can spend time in reviewing this before changing the Ordinance. • Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — March 9, 2004 Page 5 • Discussion continued in regards to the reasons why the Ordinance should be reviewed for changes. Commissioner Jasper questioned the legitimacy of requiring different minimum lighting levels for different types of uses. He wondered if there was not a minimum lighting level for safety for all uses. Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Gamache, to open the public hearing at 7:40 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Vatne) vote. Mr. Winslow Holasek, 1159 Andover Boulevard, asked what the chart meant that staff showed. Mr. Bednarz showed the graphic and explained how the ratio related to the minimum and maximum footcandles. He discussed the graph. Mr. Holasek asked if 3.9 footcandles would be the maximum. Mr. Bednarz stated this would be the average in this example. Mr. Bednarz gave examples of different lighting. Motion by Casey, seconded by Kirchoff, to close the public hearing at 7:45 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Vatne) vote. • Commissioner Jasper stated he is not comfortable in making a decision and he would want them to justify the numbers before approval. A suggestion was made to go out at the next meeting and look at the lighting in the parking lot. Commission consensus was to table this item for further information. Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Gamache, to table this item for further information per comments summarized and any additional comments that come about until a future meeting. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Vatne) vote. OTHER BUSINESS. Mr. Bednarz updated the Planning Commission on related items. ADJOURNMENT.

The existing right of way south of the centerline of CR 58 is 33 feet, nd 6 additiona � l Tight way wd et rig oh • way outh of CR 58 will be required for future reconstruction Purpose south of CR 58 right of way centerline). Ideally, the additional right of way would be dedicated at the time of this Lot Split. If the additional right of way is not dedicated at this time the City sha11 at a minimum, base the building set backs for this property on a future right of way of 60 feet south of centerline. Intersecrion Sight Distance evaluations were conducted at the following three locations: 1) The existing residential driveway on Parcel A.: There are minor sight comer obstructions acrd 4 minor deficiency for the Case IIIC requirement. 2) Possible new driveway location at the east property line of Parcel B ➢ There are moderate sight corner obstructions due to trees/brush on the subject property. The sight corners at this location could easily be cleared. D The Case HM (Condition 1) requirement is deficient by 185 feet due to a horizontal curve on CR 58 to the west.

No change in access for Parcel A is required at this time. It should be noted that residential land use adjacent to highways usually results in compldints regarding traffic noise. Traffic noise adjacent to residential areas could exceed noise standards established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Anoka County policy regarding new developments adjacent to existing county highways prohibits the expenditure of highway Funds for noise mitigation measures. The City and/or the Developer should assess the noise situation and take any action deemed necessary to minimize associated impacts at this site from any traffic noise. i A driveway culvert with 6:1 safety aprons and grates will be required for the access to Parcel B. An access permit and/or a permit for work within County right -of -way is required and must be obtained prior to the commencement of any construction (Access Permit = $150.00; Permit for Work Within County R/W= $llo.00). Please contact Roger Butler, JrafFte Engineering Coordinator, or Iosie Scott, Permit Technician, for further information regarding the permit process.

In our previous comments for this lot split (review letter dated January 27, 2004) we stated that an additional 27 feet of right of way (for a total of 60 feet) south of the centerline would be required for future reconstruction purposes. An additional 27 feet of right of way is shown on the revised drawing along Parcel B but not along Parcel A. The 60 -foot right of way corridor is required for the full length of the property. If the additional right of way is not dedicated in its entirety for this lot split, structures and building setbacks shall account for this necessary right of way corridor. It appears that the sight comers for a new driveway onto Parcel B will be obstructed by trees. Please note that these sight comers will require clearing regardless of the driveway location approved. Case IIIB (Condition 1) and Case IIIC also have deficiencies due to a horizontal curve on CR 58 and are considered non - correctable. There is an old/existing entrance onto Parcel B. Given the topography of Parcel B, the fact that there are no other access points in the vicinity to consider for consolidation, and that the Intersection Sight Distance deficiencies are about the equal at all points along Parcel B, we concur that an access located where at the existing access point will be acceptable. The driveway will need to be revised to include an appropriate sized culvert with 6:1 aprons and safety grates. The City and the developer shall ensure that sight distance requirements are met to the fullest extent possible for this lot split. The right of access along CR 58 (with exceptions at the approved access locations) shall be dedicated to Anoka County. All other comments from our January 27, 2004 letter remain unchanged.

DATE March 24, 2004 INTRODUCTION The Planning Commission tabled this item at the February 24, 2004 meeting. The applicant has revised the site plan to allow the Conditional Use Permit for a drive - through window to move forward without the need for a variance. DISCUSSION CVS has an agreement to purchase the residential property to the north and will complete an administrative lot line adjustment adding 19 -feet from the southern portion of the residential property to the CVS site. This will eliminate the need for any variances. The residential property will still be in compliance with the minimum lot • size and setbacks for the R -4 Zoning District. Additionally, this 19 -foot parcel will need to be rezoned from Single - Family Urban Residential to the Shopping Center Zoning District. Drive - through The drive- through pharmacy will be located on the northwest corner of the building and will include two drive -up lanes with a covered canopy and one through lane. The drive - through will be operated from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm and will be screened from residential properties by landscaping and a solid wooden fence. Other details of the site plan will be addressed through the Commercial Site Plan review. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the proposed Conditional Use Permit for a drive - through window with the conditions included in the resolution. ACTION REQUESTED The Planning Commission is requested to recommend approval of the conditional use permit.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (04 -02) FOR DRIVE • THROUGHAND VARIANCE TO PARKING SETBACKS AT PROPOSED CVS PHARMACY /CONVENIENCE STOREAT 3631 BUNKER LAKE BOULEVARD NW. Mr. Bednarz explained the proposed CVS/Pharmacy will be located on the NW comer of Bunker Lake and Round Lake Boulevards on the site currently occupied by Super America. This will be one of the first CVS stores in the Twin Cities area. Mr. Bednarz discussed the information with the Commission. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if there would be a double drive through lane. Mr. Bednarz stated there are two lanes under the canopy for drive through and also a twenty - two foot wide drive lane on the north side of the building. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if they could serve two cars at once. Mr. Tom Loucks, Loucks and Associates, made a presentation to the Commission explaining the layout of the building. Motion by Gamache, seconded by Kirchoff, to open the public hearing at 7:38 p.m. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 2- absent (Greenwald and Casey) vote. Mr. Dean Johnson, 3657 Bunker Lake Boulevard, stated in looking at what CVS is looking for, their request for a variance is unfounded and do not meet the hardships that are needed. He did not feel they met the variance at all and would be a detriment to allow Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — February 24, 2004 Page 5 parking in the front. He thought they were putting too large of a building on a lot which • does not fit. Motion by Gamache, seconded by Vatne, to close the public hearing at 7:41 p.m. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 2- absent (Greenwald and Casey) vote. Commissioner Gamache stated he counted sixty -eight parking spots and he wondered what was required. Mr. Bednarz stated there were sixty -nine and sixty -five were required. Commissioner Vatne asked if there were any independent stipulation for handicapped parking, or is a portion of the sixty -five required, should be handicapped. Mr. Bednarz stated a portion of the total needs to be handicapped based on the size of the building. Commissioner Vatne asked for clarification that the variance that is requested is the ten feet off of Bunker Lake Boulevard and the parking stall space has been reduced by two feet. He stated there is a sixteen -foot shortage on the north/south depth according to his calculations. Mr. Bednarz stated only the southerly most row of parking that is sixteen feet deep instead of eighteen. Commissioner Vatne stated it would be a twelve -foot shortage. Mr. Bednarz stated this was correct. Commissioner Jasper stated it occurs to him to move this back twelve feet and narrow the • roadway on the north side of the building. Mr. Bednarz stated from the Cities point of view and the Fire Chief, they would be willing to go down to eighteen feet on the north side of the building. Mr. Loucks stated they have a loading and unloading area on the north side of the building which could possibly tie up the drive through area. However, if it is eighteen feet and not twenty -two feet, then depending on the size of the truck, it is possible they could slide to the left and it would be about eight feet to slide by in the drive isle to pick up prescriptions. Commissioner Jasper asked if the issues concerning the site boxes with the compactor and dumpster been addressed. Mr. Loucks stated that area they are going to move forward four to six feet to coincide with the curb return and that takes care of all the potential site distance issues the County referred to. Commissioner Jasper asked what they will do with snow storage. Mr. Loucks stated they will use what ever snow storage is available to them and they will haul out when needed. Commissioner Jasper thought there was some sort of joint parking agreement with the adjacent property. Mr. Loucks stated there is a joint parking agreement, a joint driveway access agreement with Precision Tune. Mr. Bednarz stated there is a joint agreement between the two properties for a reduced parking setback. Commissioner Vatne asked in regards to diagonal parking, if they could get a review of • this. Mr. Bednarz discussed the parking with the Commission. Mr. Loucks stated CVS Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —February 24, 2004 Page 6 will not do angled parking because of their clientele. He stated they are talking about a four foot split when a million and a half dollar development hinges on that. Commissioner Kirchoff stated he did not like the idea of having angled parking. Discussion ensued in regards to parking. Chairperson Daninger stated one of the options is purchasing additional property to the north. Mr. Jim LaVelle, Velmeir Companies, stated the history on this site acquisition is they have explored options with Precision Tune and property owners to the north and at this time they have not been able to come to terms with the property owners on this. Chairperson Daninger asked on the size of the store, does CVS require a store of this size. Mr. Lavelle stated over the last three years, CVS has studied the area and this would be the appropriate size for this store. He stated it would be $200,000 to $250,000 to make this change in the building. Commissioner Daninger stated the Commission cannot consider economic hardships for variances. Chairperson Daninger asked if all of the CVS Stores are the same size. Mr. Lavelle stated in this market, all the CVS Stores will be the same size. Commissioner Jasper stated he would be opposed to changing the parking stall size. The • other variance he is troubled with because they have not done a lot of variances and there is nothing about this property that creates a hardship. He thought CVS is creating a hardship. Commissioner Vatne asked if they have made any variances where they made exceptions to the number of parking stalls in total. Mr. Bednarz stated there were variances granted to the shopping center across the street for parking. Chairperson Daninger stated he is not in favor of a variance because he thought CVS could work this out if they took the time to think it out. Commissioner Gamache stated he was going to abstain from voting on this item. Commissioner Jasper stated he liked the idea of putting a CVS Pharmacy on this site. Mr. Lavelle stated their process of developing this store is that it is a prime corner and they will try to look at different ideas. He did not know if it is possible to present anymore ideas from the time it goes from the Planning Commission to the City Council. Mr. Lavelle requested the Commission table this item until March 9, 2004 because they did not want a negative recommendation of this going to the City Council. They felt they could make significant changes to these items and resubmit them. Motion by Vatne, seconded by Jasper, to table this item until March 9, 2004. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 2- absent (Greenwald and Casey) vote. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting + Minutes — March 9, 2004 Page 2 There was no public input.

PUBLIC HEARING: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (04 -02) FOR DRIVE THROUGHAT PROPOSED CYS PHARMACY /CONVENIENCE STORE AT 3631 BUN %ER LAKE BOULEVARD NW. Mr. Bednarz explained the Planning Commission tabled this item at the February 24, 2004 meeting. The applicant has notified staff of their intention to purchase the residential property to the north, adjust the lot line and revise the site plan to allow the Conditional Use Permit for a drive - through window to move forward without the need for a variance. The Planning Commission will review this item at a later date, once the • revised site plan has been submitted. Commissioner Greenwald wondered why they needed to table this item if there was not a variance needed anymore. Commissioner Gamache stated CVS Pharmacy still needed a Conditional Use Permit. Motion by Jasper, seconded by Gamache, to open the public hearing at 7:08 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Vatne) vote. Mr. Dean Johnson, owner of Precision Tune, stated as far as the drive thru is concerned, he did not know how they could make a decision on this until they see the drawings. Chairperson Daninger stated they will not be making a decision until the next meeting. Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Casey, to close the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Vatne) vote. Commissioner Jasper asked when the original application was placed. Mr. Bednarz stated the original application came in during January. Commissioner Jasper asked if they needed to act on this within sixty days but his understanding was it had been extended another sixty days. Mr. Bednarz stated they have extended the City's review period to the full 120 days. Motion by Gamache, seconded by Greenwald, to table this item until the March 23, 2004 Planning Commission Meeting.

March 24, 2004 INTRODUCTION The Planning Commission is asked to review the proposed rezoning of the southern portion of the above single - family residential lot. DISCUSSION The Planning Commission previously tabled the proposed CUP for a drive- through window with variances to parking lot setbacks and parking stall size, and directed CVS to redesign their site to adhere to City Code. CVS responded with an agreement to purchase the residential property to the north and will complete an administrative lot line adjustment adding 19 -feet from the southern portion of the residential property to the CVS site. This will eliminate the need for any variances. The residential property will still be in compliance with the minimum lot size and building setbacks for the R -4 Zoning District.

DATE: March 23, 2004 INTRODUCTION The Planning Commission is asked to review the proposed rezoning to allow the Woodland Estates 6 Addition to move forward. 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 proposed project is located west of Nightingale Estates 3rd Addition. DISCUSSION Conformance with Local Plans Comprehensive Plan Amendment (03 -07) removed the subject property from the Rural Reserve and extended the MUSA Boundary to include the property to allow it to be served with municipal utilities. (A forty acre parcel west of Woodland Estates was placed into the Rural Reserve and removed from the MUSA a part of this application). The Planning Commission recommended denial of this application with a 5 -2 vote at their October 14, 2003 meeting. The property is zoned Single Family Rural Residential (R -1). A rezoning to Single Family Urban Residential (R -4) is proposed as a separate item. Access The only access to the development would be provided from Woodland Estates 4 Addition via 152 Lane NW. This street was renamed Veterans Memorial Boulevard at last Tuesday's Council Meeting due to the fact that it will meander to the northwest before connecting with Round Lake Boulevard in the future. A public street and utility easement through the rural property between Woodland Estates 4" and 6` Additions will be necessary to allow access to the property. A majority of Council members indicated that they would accept a single access into the development at the September 2, 2003 Council Meeting. A potential alignment was previously reviewed by the City and an independent traffic engineer during the sketch plan process The Transportation Plan designates this route as a collector street. This street will be constructed to state aid standards within a 66 foot wide right -of -way. By designing the street to state aid standards, state funding will be available for future maintenance of the roadway. Local streets within the proposed plat will be typical with a 33 foot wide street constructed within a 60 foot right -of -way. Each of the proposed access points to the collector street exceed the minimum spacing requirement of City Code at 330 feet. Each of the proposed cul -de -sacs will be below the maximum length of 500 feet. Two future connections will be available to adjoining I* properties to the north, west and south. Impact On Street System All of the proposed traffic from the development will have to travel through Woodland Estates 4` Addition to Nightingale Street NW. It is also anticipated that a vast majority of this traffic will use the Nightingale Street NW /Crosstown Boulevard intersection. Nightingale Street NW is proposed to be upgraded with a street mill and overlay as a part of a public improvement that is in the capital improvement plan to be constructed in 2005. This project will need to include the striping of right turn and bypass lanes due to the residential development surrounding this roadway. This will increase the cost of the project. The City will need to identify additional funding to complete this portion of the project. The Council will be reviewing a road improvement policy at their March 30, 2004 meeting. This policy could result in adoption of a City Code amendment to provide a basis and method for determining developer participation in roadway improvements. The bypass lane improvements at Nightingale Street NW would be an example of a road improvement that could be required with a prorated share of the costs paid for by the developer. The Nightingale Street/Crosstown Boulevard intersection This intersection is included as an unfunded improvement in the Anoka County five year capital improvement plan for design in 2005, right -of -way acquisition in 2006 and construction in 2007. • If funding is not able to be achieved, the schedule for this improvement may be moved back. The County and City will continue to pursue funding sources for this project until it has been constructed. Adequacy of Roadway System It should be noted that the difficulty in achieving funding for intersection improvements is typically based on the fact that the intersection(s) do not meet the criteria necessary to warrant an improvement. A right turn lane exists on 152 "d Lane NW at the intersection with Nightingale Street NW. It should also be noted that Nightingale Street NW is constructed to handle significantly more traffic than presently exists. As a result, traffic concerns may be adequately addressed in the short term with turn and bypass lane striping as a part of the imminent City public improvement project. Fire Department Comments 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 plat. Pedestrian Access The off street sidewalk will be extended fromWoodland Estates Fourth Addition to proposed Verdin Street NW. From this point an off street bituminous trail will be extended to the west edge of the development along the south side of the street. Proposed Streetscape along Collector Route The applicant has proposed to go beyond the minimum grading and drainage requirements to create an attractive streetscape along the proposed collector route. An effort has been made to provide an undulating landscape berm on which trees will be planted. Additionally, the area between the sodded boulevard and the water line of the pond on the south side of 152 Lane NW will be seeded with a high quality wildflower seed mixture (MNDOT 5B30). The result will be a combination of formal and natural landscaping that will provide an attractive parkway design. Easements The typical five foot wide side yard and ten foot wide front and rear yard drainage and utility easements will be provided on each lot. Additional easements will be provided to cover storm water ponds, drainage areas, underground utility lines and maintenance vehicle accesses. The Public Works Department requires two maintenance vehicle accesses to each storm water pond. The Public Works Department has several comments that will need to be addressed as the plat moves forward (see attached memorandum). Lots All of the lots meet or exceed the minimum lot width, depth and area requirements of the R-4 Zoning District. Building setback lines are drawn on each lot to indicate where a house can be constructed. Lots 25 and 26 of Block 4 are double frontage lots. Double frontage lots are typically only allowed along arterial roadways. A variance is needed to City Code 11 -3 -6 F to allow these double frontage lots. Staff is in favor of the variances because they prevent an • additional street connection to the collector street. A street connection with minimal spacing between Wren and Yukon would be needed to eliminate the double frontage situation. Additional lot depth is provided as is typical for double frontage lots. Lot 28, Block 4 is a butt lot (a single lot located between two corner lots). City Code 11 -3 -6 D. states "The use of butt lots shall be avoided whenever possible." Staff explored turning Lots 27 and 28, Block 4 to face 153` Lane NW to avoid this situation. The result would leave one lot facing the west side of Wren Street NW and decreases the buildable area on Lots 26,27 and 28, Block 4. Staff recommends in favor of a variance to allow Lot 28, Block 4 as proposed. Buildability Requirements Each of the lots will meet or exceed the minimum of 116.5 feet of buildable area between the front property line and the 100 year flood elevation of storm water ponds. There are no wetlands within the proposed development. Existing Ditch System Private ditches exist along the west and south sides of the property. The applicant is proposing to expand portions of the ditch into more traditional storm water ponds with some continued rear yard surface water drainage to the ponds. Park Dedication The Park and Recreation Commission and Council turned down the developer's proposed park location on the south side of proposed 152 lane NW. Park dedication and trail fees will be collected on a per unit basis. Tree Protection Plan The applicant is proposing to custom grade lots along the east edge of the proposed development to save as many trees as possible as shown on the Tree Protection Plan. A narrow band of trees through the center of the proposed plat will be removed to allow grading for streets and ponds to occur. 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.

E TO: Planning and Zoning Commissioners FROM: Courtney Bednarz, City Plann4A� SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: Residential Sketch Plan of Country Oaks West to review revised proposal for development of 1101 161 Avenue NW. DATE: March 23, 2004 INTRODUCTION The Planning Commission is asked to review a revised residential sketch plan for a single family and townhouse development formerly called "White Tail Ridge ". The revised plan attempts to address the issues raised by the City during the first round of sketch plan review. DISCUSSION Conformance with Local and Regional Plans and Ordinances Comprehensive Plan Amendment (03 -05) extended the MUSA Boundary to include the subject property. A condition of this approval limited the proposed development to municipal sewer and water service for 100 lots. 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 are needed for the proposal to move forward as proposed. Planned unit development review would also be necessary due to the fact that townhouses are included in the proposed development. Access A single public access to the development would be provided from 161 Avenue NW. A variance will be needed to the minimum intersection spacing requirement of 660 feet for arterial roadways due to the limited distance from Vale Street NW on the south side of 161 Avenue NW. An emergency access is also proposed to the east of the public access. The applicant has revised the plan to provide connectivity within the development where possible. However, due to the fact that there is only one access into the development, the street network will exceed the 500 foot maximum cul -de -sac length. A variance to this requirement will be necessary for the development to move forward. The applicant has proposed a fire access road to the east of the proposed access to provide a secondary access into the development. This access would need to be approved by the City Fire Department and Anoka County Highway Department (ACHD). 1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD N.W. • ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304 • (763) 755 -5100 FAX (763) 755 -8923 • WWW.CI.ANDOVER.MN.US Fire Department Comments • The Fire department is opposed to the single public access in the interest of public safety. The secondary access would need to be designed to meet the approval of the City Fire department and the Anoka County Highway Department (ACHD). Anoka County Highway Department The ACHD has provided comments for the revised sketch plan (see attached letter). The letter indicates a preference for a street connection to CSAH 20 to be made as previously shown (approximately 180 feet east of the presently proposed location). The preference for this location is based on the ability of the City to require vegetation to be cleared west of the intersection to address sight distance recommendations (i.e. sight corner). A site corner is a MNDOT standard that was developed for high volume freeways and highways. The ACHD has recently been applying this standard to county roads. A site corner expands the typical clear view triangle to a much larger area based on the speed of the roadways and the assumption that vehicles do not stop at intersections. It should be noted that the ACHD does not have the authority to require vegetation to be cleared outside of the county right -of -way. The City would need to require the additional clearing if it is to be done. It is also important to note that a future homeowner's fence, landscaping or even house could be constructed outside the road right -of -way, yet within the sight corner. The applicant will present a drawing of the affected area at the meeting. The Planning Commission is asked to make a value based recommendation for the location of the access based on the impact on the affected area. 0 Either location will allow turn and bypass lanes at the proposed intersection as well as Crane Street NW and Vale Street NW on the south side of CSAH 20. The additional right of -way and right of access discussed in the letter would be dedicated as a part of the plat. Collector Street The Transportation Plan designates a north -south collector street through the subject property. The City Code prohibits lots from fronting on collector streets. The applicant has revised the plan to eliminate driveways onto the collector where possible. At the north end of the proposal, wetlands on the site allow only enough buildable area for one double loaded street. As a result there are driveways onto the collector street toward the north end of the sketch. Phasing of Development The applicant has indicated that they may wish to phase the project to develop only the southern half of the property that can be served by gravity sewer in the first phase. This would preserve design options for the north end of the property and prevent a long dead end road from being constructed as a part of the initial phase. Future development of this area of the property could be coordinated with development of adjacent property to the north. This scenario could allow a street connection all the way over to Hanson Boulevard as a part of an overall plan for the area to the north and possibly avoid the construction of another lift station. 2 Double Frontage Lots The City Code also prohibits double frontage lots except along arterial roadways. By not allowing lots to front on the street and not allowing lots to back onto the street, the City Code allows only side yards adjacent to collector streets. To meet the requirements of the City Code, the collector street would need to be brought east at least 340 feet. The result would be short blocks and grid design with additional street and additional corner lots. Additionally, a building setback of 25 feet on corner lots does not provide much area to achieve the parkway design that a collector route should have. A `side yard' design also would require an intersection every 320 -350 feet, further limiting the area for parkway design due to the sight distance requirements at intersections. Staff would recommend in favor of variances for the double frontage lots provided the lots are appropriately designed. This would include a combination of providing additional lot depth, holding the road elevation below the rear yard elevations of the lots, berming and landscaping. These types of treatments will be coordinated with the overall streetscape along the collector street to achieve a parkway design similar to that proposed as a part of the Woodland Estates 6 Addition. Pedestrian Access The applicant will be required to construct an 8 foot wide bituminous trail along the collector • street as will be required of the Woodland Estates O h Addition. A future City trail will be constructed along 161 Avenue. The location of an appropriate crossing at 160 Avenue will need to be determined by the Park and Recreation Commission and Council in consultation with the ACRD. Hydrology Due to the fact that the floodplain boundaries have not been determined in this area of the City, a floodplain study is being conducted the applicant to determine the floodplain boundaries and appropriate 100 year flood elevations. This work is being reviewed by FEMA and will ultimately need to be adopted by the City as a floodplain map amendment. Single Family Lots All of the lots appear to meet the minimum lot width, depth and area requirements of the R -4 Zoning District. Townhouse Lots The applicant is proposing to construct twinhomes in the area of the property that is closest to the rail line. The applicant will present information about the townhouse units at the meeting. Sketch of Adjacent Property The applicant has sketched a street connection with the property to the west in a location that is based on a wetland delineation provided by that property owner. The location will accommodate • development as shown on the sketch. These lots will not be included in the 100 units permitted under Comprehensive Plan Amendment (03 -05). 3 The sketch of the property to the southwest shows how access can be provided from the north to • prevent future lots from fronting on the collector street. Due to the location of a pond at the northwest corner of this property it appears that a maximum of three urban lots can be achieved on this property. The property to the southeast contains a wetland along the rail line that limits the development potential of this property. The location of the existing house and the desire of the owner to retain an acreage property further limit the development potential of this property. Municipal utilities will be required to be brought to the property line to accommodate service to the existing house in the future. Coordination with other Agencies The developer and/or owner are 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 reviewed the sketch at their March 18, 2004 meeting. The Commission will likely be requesting a combination of park land and cash to satisfy the park dedication requirements. This will need to be addressed by the applicant as they prepare a preliminary plat. Staff Recommendation The report summarizes staff's positions on the various issues. ACTION REQUESTED The Planning and Zoning Commission is asked to discuss the relevant issues, including access, proposed variances, and proposed townhouses.

CITY OF ANDOVER Dear Courtney: We have reviewed the Revised Whitetail Ridge Plat, located north of CSAH 20 (161` Ave. NW) and west of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad within the City of Andover, and I offer the following comments. • The location on the proposed local roadway intersection with CSAH 20 has been changed from the previous submittal. As previously submitted the local roadway was located approximately 180 feet east of the west property line where the lots adjacent to the local roadway were entirely within the boundaries of this plat which provided the opportunity for the developer to clear the sight comers for the intersection with CSAH 20. The local roadway shown in the revised plat is adjacent to the west property line where the sight corner in the northwest quadrant is outside of the boundaries of the plat and obstructions to this sight corner cannot be cleared without permission from the adjacent property owner. The City/Developer shall ensure that all applicable Intersection Sight Distance Requirements are met to the fullest extent possible. As with the previous review all lots within this plat will have access available via local roadways, and no direct access to the county highway system will be permitted. The right of Access along CSAH 20 shall be dedicated to Anoka County with exceptions for approved access locations. The access scheme on the new version of this plat includes one local roadway connection with CSAH 20 and one 30 -foot wide emergency vehicle access located along the east property line. The local roadway intersection is located to the west of where it was shown on the previous review and the emergency vehicle access is new to this review. From a highway safety/mobility point of view we preferred the access scheme in the previous version for the following reasons: 1) It had a single access point/local roadway intersection. 2) All applicable Intersection Sight Distance Requirements could be satisfied. 3) The concept plans prepared by ACRD could be implemented to provide turn and by -pass lanes along the corridor. • If the City of Andover approves this plat with the revised access scheme, we would require the following: Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer City of Andover Re: Revised Whitetail Ridge Plat — Previously Reviewed 8/15/2003 • March 2, 2004 Page 2 1) All applicable Intersection Sight Distance Requirements for the local roadway and the emergency vehicle access shall be met to the fullest extent possible for this development; 2) The turn lanelbypass lane concept plan provided by ACHD shall be modified/shifted and applied at the local roadway intersection. Please note that ACHD has not provided revised concept plans for this version of the plat. Refer to the concept plans provided with our August 15, 2003 review letter. 3) The emergency vehicle entrance shall be signed appropriately and/or gated with some type of breakaway devices to prevent everyday, routine use by local residents. Additionally, to reduce the risk of pedestrians/bicyclists from entering the traveled portion of CSAH 20 without warning, the paved portion of the path shall not make a direct connection to CSAH 20. The City may consider the construction of a path along the north Right of Way line between the emergency vehicle access and the proposed local roadway. Calculations must be provided along with a grading and erosion control plan that delineates the drainage areas for this site. The post - development rate /volume of runoff must not exceed the pre - developed rate volume of runoff for the 10 -year, critical design storm. An engineering plan review fee estimated at $850.00 will apply to this project. Contact Andrew Witter, Construction Services Engineer, for information regarding the engineering plan review process. Please submit the drainage calculations, grading and erosion control plans, and turn lane/bypass lane plans along with the ACHD Design Requirements Checklist for County Highway Modifications (copy attached) and the applicable engineering plan review fee to Mr. Witter for his review and approval. If the City and/or the developer • wish to meet with county staff to discuss the county highway modifications for this plat prior to submittal of formal engineering plans, we would be happy to do so. An access permit and a permit for work within County right of way are required and must be obtained prior to the commencement of any construction (permit to work within the R/W= $110.00; Access permit- Installation and maintenance of any necessary permanent traffic control devices within the county right of way will be coordinated by Anoka County in conjunction with the permit process (Please note that the Developer will be required to make the necessary pavement marking removals for the implementation of the turn lane/by -pass lane plan as a part of the permit process). All other comments made in our August 15, 2003 review letter remain unchanged. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Sy'icerely, � tt.

Pnona a Phone e' Fax a7G9- l.'rS- 89.1'.3 Fax aA -4ra RE; Preliminary Plat Whitetail Ridge Dear Courtney: We have reviewed the Preliminary Plat for Whitetail Ridge, to be located north of CSAH 20 (161" Ave. NW) and west of Burlington Norrbern Santa Fe Railroad within the City of Andover, and I offer the following comments; The existing and proposed right -of -way north of the centerline CSAH 20 depicted on this plat varies from 50 feet to 60 feet. Sixty feet of right -of -way north of the centerline of CSAIJ 20 for the entire length of this plat will be required for future reconstruction purposes. It appears that all applicable Intersection Sight Distance Requirements can be met for access to this site; however, some clearing and minor grading may be necessary. The City/Developer shall ensure that all applicable Intersection Sight Distance Requirements are met to the fullest extent possible. As proposed all lots within this development would have access via Local Roadways, consequently, no direct access to CSAH 20 is assumed for any of the lots. The proposed new local roadway would be offset from Vale St. NW by approximately 325 feet (to the west). As you are aware, it is very undesirable for local roadways to have offset intersections onto the county highway system. if in the future this section of CSAH 20 is rebuilt to include a raised concrete median, full access at either or both offset street locations may not be able to be achieved (see attached Concept Plan Q. The existing local roadway Vale _Street intersects CSAH 20 from the south at a location approximately 500 feet west of the BNSP railroad tracks. We have considered requiring that this Development line the proposed roadway up with Vale Street. However, doing so may impact the interim turn lane improvements on CSAH 20 associated with this development that will need to be made for the new street intersection. The City of Andover will have to decide what type of local roadway system they want for this area that will meet the needs of the loca) residents, without overburdening or causing safety impacts TO the county highway system (both today and into the future). As an interim condition, an engipeering judgment can be made that it would be better to offset the intersections and have the ability to make turn lane/by -pass lane improvements then it is to line the intersections up. As shown, this Development will have one roadway that can extend to the west and one that can extend to the north for future development of adjacent land. The City should probably consider an additional local Atfirmative Action I Equal Opportunity Employer 03/16/2004 13:54 RNOKR CO HUY DPT 4 97558923 roadway extension to the west for additional future connectivity to Yellow Pine Street. Ideally, when the property to the west is developed all access to this Development (Whitetail Ridge) could be made via Yellow Pine Street, and the new local roadway proposed in this plat world become a cul -de -sac. This would be similar to the access scheme for the Don Peterson Development on the south side of CSAH 20 where the development between Crane St. and Yellow Pine St. did not introduce any new access points. Turn lane construction/creation on CSAH 20 will be required to be completed by the developer and/or the City for this development. For the City's consideration, we have prepared some tam lane concept plans for this development (labeled A, B and C). Turn lanes on CSAH 20 will be regpired for this development. Concept Plans A and B depict two different turn lane and bypass lane configurations for future discussion as plans for this development continue (it should be noted that this department prefers the implementation of Concept Plan B in conjunction with this and other developments in this area). The right of access along CSAH 20 shall be dedicated to Anoka County with 4n exception for the approved local roadway (this includes the larger parcel east of the proposed roadway that appears to be intended as commercial use). All existing entrances to CSAH 20 shall be removed and the right -of -way restored to match existing ditch section, grade, and slope. Calculations must be submitted along with a grading and erosion control plan that delineates the drainage areas for this site. The post - developed rate /volume of runoff must not exceed the pre - developed rate/volume of runoff for the I0 -year, 24 -hour storm, utilizing the "SCS Method ". It should be noted that residential land use adjacent to highways will usually result iii complaints regarding traffic noise. Traffic noise at this location could exceed noise standards established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Anoka County policy regarding new developments adjacent to existing county highways prohibits the expenditure of highway funds for noise mitigation measures. The City and/or the Developer should assess the noise situation and take any action deemed necessary to minimize associated impacts at this site from any traffic noise. A permit for work within County Right -of -Way is required and must be obtained prior to the commencement of construction. License Permit Bonding, method of construction, design details, tum lane construction, work zone traffic control, restoration requirements and follow -up inspections are typical elements of the permitting process. Contact Roger Butler, Traffic Engineering Coordinator, or Josie Scott, Permit Technician, for further information regarding the permit process. Installation of any necessary permanent traffic control devices within the County Right -of Way for this proposed development will be coordinated, installed, and maintained by the Anoka County Highway Department as part of the permit process. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

City Engineer DATE: March 17, 2004 REFERENCE: Country Oaks West/Review #31Sketch Plan Listed below are comments based on the sketch plan for your review. 1. Need to identify the boundary of the approved delineated wetland boundary on sketch. plan. 2. The preliminary floodplain boundary has been determined and may be helpful if this were indicated on . • the sketch plan. 3. The Park & Recreation Commission will need to review and determine if a park is necessary or a cash dedication will be recommended in lieu of land. It may be a combination of park and cash.. 4. Enough driveway parking will be necessary for the townhome development portion of the project. Need to discuss this with the Planning Department. Shared driveway width for multi -units should be a minimum 24 feet wide. 5. Need to indicate the existing right -of -way and all existing drainage and utility easements. 6. Separate utility service lines will need to be provided for each residence including the proposed townhome development. 7. The developer is responsible to obtain the necessary permits from the Lower Rum River WMO, DNR, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or any other agency that is interested in the site. 8. Need to meet the requirements of the City of Andover Water Resource Management Plan and the Lower Rum River WMO Water Resource Management Plan. 9. Need to submit a tree protection and landscape plan with the submittal of the preliminary plat. 10. The developer will need to petition for improvements (sanitary sewer, watermain, streets & storm sewer). There is an option for the developer to install the street/utility improvements. May need to discuss this further with the City Engineer. In order to construct street/utility improvements this year, the developer installed process must be followed. 11. Need to meet requirements of all City Codes that apply. 12. All streets will be required to. be public. 13. A variance will be necessary for the proposed street that intersects With 161" Avenue NW on the north side due to the closeness to the existing Vale Street NW on the south side of 161" Avenue NW. 14. Turn lanes will be constructed as part of this development for entrance /exit to this site. 15. See comments from the Anoka County Highway Department in regard to the development. • 16. Outlots are not allowed and will need to be attached to the adjoining parcel. The emergency access indicated at the south end of the development may need to be indicated as an outlot and deeded over to the City. 17. The association documents will need to be submitted and reviewed by the City. 18. Trails /sidewalks may be considered interior to the devlepment and along 161 Avenue NW. 19. Need to identify on the plan what area will be served with gravity sanitary sewer and what area will be served with a lift station. 20. Are there any existing easements (private or public) that need to be vacated? If there are, they should be clearly indicated on the sketch plan so that it can be determined if the easement needs to be vacated. 21. A collector street is identified in the City's Transportation Plan in the area of this proposed development Based on City Code subdivision requirements, lots are not allowed to front.onto the collector due to the higher traffic volumes. This will need to be discussed with the Planning Commission and City Council. Note: Keep in mind, a collector is defined in the subdivision regulations as feeder streets with an average daily traffic (ADT) of 1,000 vehicles or more. With this proposed layout and future property to the north, the traffic volumes will exceed 1,000. If the street remains as a collector by the City Council, staff .recommended no direct driveway access to the street. Note: Staff is currently working with the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council to amend the collector street designation for lower volume collectors with projected ADT of less than 2,000 to allow limited or modified driveway accesses. The designation of this road would most likely become a minor collector. Also, it may be necessary to realign the north —south further east and reconfigure Blocks 7 & 4 to eliminate the double frontage lots (double frontage lots if to remain will required a variance). If the double frontage lots are to remain they will not be very desirable lots as the rear yards would be visible to. vehicles driving the north —south street. It is recommended to meet with City staff to discuss this further. Also, the north /south roadway is designated MSA. It will be necessary to adjust the horizontal curve radius to meet 30 MPH design speed and the right -of -way for the north -south street is to be 66 feet in width. 22. It may be necessary to resubmit a copy of the revised sketch plan to Anoka County Highway Department so that they are aware of the reconfiguration on the development. In reviewing the County Highway letter, it appears the County preferres to have the street access further east from its current/proposed location. 23. The main north -south street at a minimum is to be designed to 30 MPH. 24. The plan must be designed on the Anoka County coordinate system and elevation datum. 25. When the final plat is approved and recorded the developer must submit a digital copy of the plat. 26. When a final as -built grading plan is approved the developer must submit a digital copy of the plan. • 27. Additional comments pending further review.
