PRELLIIEVARYPLAT FOR STAC %'S ROODS, A RURAL • RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT LOCATED SOUTHWEST OF THE INTERSECTION OF 7 AVENUE NWAND 165 AVENUE NW. Mr. Bednarz stated the Planning Commission is asked to review a preliminary plat with 20 rural residential lots. The proposal is consistent with the Rural Residential Land Use Classification and Single Family Rural Residential (R -1) Zoning District that exist on the subject property- Mr. Bednarz discussed the staff report with the Commission. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if 164' Lane was a temporary cul-de-sac. Mr. Bednarz stated it was. Commissioner Vatne wondered if there was a sketch plan done previously. Mr. Bednarz stated they did not choose to go through a sketch plan process. Commissioner Vatne asked about the emergency vehicle access and he was confused as to where that fit in. Mr. Bednarz stated he did not know if emergency access would be the intent They want to provide future access to the east and south. Commissioner Greenwald stated the way he read this is they are proposing 160 Lane is a temporary cul-de -sac. Mr. Bednarz stated this was correct Commissioner Greenwald wondered if the lots to the east were single lots and he wondered if they know the developer is proposing putting a temporary 160 Lane with the potential of splitting their land in the future. Mr. Bednarz described the notification process and commented that phone calls had been received. Commissioner Greenwald stated the reason he brought this up was because usually when there is a temporary cul -de -sac for a future road, they have a ghost plat for surrounding properties which they do not have for this property. Commissioner Vatne stated there was another place referencing the review by the Lower Rum River Watershed District and he wondered if this review still stood. Mr. Bednarz stated they have reviewed this plan and are fine with it Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Kircho$ to open the public hearing at 7:11 p.m. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Holthus) vote. Mr. Lon Bowls, 4995 159 Avenue, wondered at what point would the temporary cul-de- sac be opened to the south to Ventura Street because that is his driveway. Mr. Bednarz stated the property owners will decide when the road will be extended and at that point they will come to the City for approval of their project r� U Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — November 22, 2005 Page 3 • Mr. Bowls stated his driveway is actually an easement, a dirt road, not maintained by the City. Chairperson Da stated he would have to sell that property before the road would go through because he owns it Mr. Andrew Millberg, 16491 Zuni Street, in the northwest part of the development, stated the entire area is virtually all trees and he thought there was a provision to preserve trees and he wondered if there was a way someone could buy the property and remove all of the trees and make it into a big field. Mr. Bednarz stated the developer has a plan for selective tree removal and will build around the trees to try to save as many as they can but when someone buys a lot, the City cannot force them not to cut down the trees. Mr. Perry Klinger, 16515 on the north side of the development, stated this area has been the drainage area over the years so they will need to be careful with elevations. He wondered if there will be drainage ponds on there. Chairperson Daninger stated the development cannot affect surrounding properties when developed. Mr. Klinger wondered where the water will flow to so it does not affect their property. Mr. Bednarz stated the developer will address the issue of drainage. Mr. John Ingle, 16415 Zuni Street, stated he saw on the map that there is a collection pond for run off. He wondered if this was intended to hold water continuously or would it be dry most of the time. Chairperson Daninger indicated the developer could also address this item. Mr. Helberg wondered if there will be any dredging of the wetlands to make them deeper. Motion by Casey, seconded by Vatne, to close the public hearing at 7:19 p.m. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Holthus) vote. Mr. Mike Quigley, representing Emrich Development, stated they will have to maintain all drainage on their property, the depth of the ponds will hold water but his engineer could explain this item better and there is no dredging of wetlands but there are two minor fill areas that are in the area of street construction, but nothing that make lots come under the nonbuildable standards. He noted trees will be saved when possible and will be selectively cut. Mr. Brian Krystofiak, Pioneer Engineering, stated the treatment ponds will typically be dry because of the sandy bottom. The outlets are designed to be within a half a foot and will not be up to their full level at all times. He anticipated them to be dry most of the time. Commissioner Vatne noted on the tree preservation plan, he saw where they have taken the time to note the areas where each of the lots will be maintained. The areas he are concerned about is a mound of trees that will be lost, because of the need for the drainage • and grading, much of the tree coverage will be taken away and he wondered if this is the case. Mr. Brian Krystofiak stated some of the lots will require fill to bring them up and a Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — November 22, 2005 Page 4 • lot of the trees in those areas will be lost because of this. It depended on the lot layout but they would try to save as many trees as possible. Commissioner Vatne applauded the level of preservation they are trying to do and he thought this development was nicely done. He suspected and the language talks about a fair amount of work done to try to minimise the variances. He wondered if there were any other plans that would come close to reducing the number of variances required. Chairperson Damnger stated with all of the development they have seen, they get landlocked with all of the long cul-de -sacs and he wondered if there was a plan, which did not have a long cul-de -sac. He indicated he would not mind having more variances for this development. Mr. Quigley stated there are two variances, one being the driveways onto the collector and the other was the long cul-de -sac. He stated if they were to pull the road back to shorten the cul-de -sac and put the lots at the end of the cul-de -sac they would eliminate the use of the property to east for access. He stated the only way into the property to east would be off of 7, if possible. He stated that is why it is platted showing a temporary cul- de -sac. He stated to put another street out onto 165 there are only four lots along there. Because it being a rural development with those size lots, it is difficult to maintain the requirements. He noted they have looked at other options. Commissioner Kirchoff wondered what the width of lot number one was. He thought it was 400 feet wide. Mr. Quigley stated it was about that. Commissioner Kirchoff stated when they talk about long cul -de -sacs, it cannot be shortened otherwise there would need to be a road along each property. He did not think this standard could be applied equally to a rural development. Commissioner Greenwald wondered how many total acres this development was. Mr. Quigley stated it was roughly seventy acres. Chairperson Daninger stated his only concern was with the cul -de -sac. He stated he would like to see a variance go with a lot rather than with a long cul -de -sac. Commissioner Vatne stated when he first looked at this and looking at where a potential out street could go through, he found it would be along the property line, which would mean pulling in some of the four lots adjacent to 165 * , which would provide an outlet to 165 * . Commissioner Kirchoff wondered if this would affect the trees in the preservation plan. Commissioner Vatne thought they may have to be shifted a little. Commissioner Kirchoff wondered if this would affect the curve. W. Quigley stated the problem would be that it would be close to the existing home on 165 and they would be next to a curve and only be 350 feet from County Road 7 and it is not a good idea to come out at this point.. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — November 22, 2005 Page 5 Chairperson Daninger stated he liked the lots and tree preservations but not the cul -de- sac. Commissioner Casey stated he was comfortable with the way this is presented. Commissioner Greenwald stated he was struggling with the cul -de -sac. He stated they have seen this happen in a lot of plans. He stated the problem is that they do not know when the property to the east will development and it could end up being permanent. Commissioner Vatne stated he liked having a sketch plan in advance because some of the issues could have been taken care of sooner but he did like the plans and thought a lot has been put into the plans. He did not see any easy solutions to the cul-de -sac that would make sense. He stated he was comfortable with this plan. Chairperson Daninger stated he was going to vote against this because he was not in favor of the long cul-de -sac. Commissioner Greenwald stated he agreed because he felt the cul -de -sac will end up being permanent. Chairperson Daninger wondered if a neighbor would still have access from their driveway to the road. Mr. Bednarz stated they would. Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Casey, to recommend approval of the proposed preliminary plat subject to the conditions of the attached resolution Commissioner Greenwald wondered if this eliminated the double frontage access. Commissioner Kirchoff stated because this is a large area, he did not think it would work. Motion canted on a 3 -ayes, 2 -nays ( Daninger, Greenwald), 1- absent (Holthus) vote. Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the December 6, 2005 City Council meeting. PUBLIC HEARING: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (05 -09) AMENDING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (05 -08) TO ADD TELECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT AT 16191 ROUND LAKE BOULEVARD NW. Mr. Cross stated the applicant is requesting a change to an element of the CUP request that came before the City in August 2005 for the collocation of wireless telecommunications equipment at the American Tower site near the Industrial Park. Mr. Cross discussed the staff report with the Commission. Commissioner Vatne wondered why the footprint is larger. Mr. Cross stated he thought the applicant could answer this but he thought the technology being used is different. Commissioner Vatne stated this is adjacent to the Rural Reserve and he thought a smaller structure would be better. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — November 22, 2005 Page 6 Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Casey, to open the public hearing at 7:45 p.m. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Holthus) vote. There was no public input Motion by Casey, seconded by Kirchofff to close the public hearing at 7:45 p.m Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Holthus) vote. Mr. Dan Lesher, Cingular Wireless, 7400 Metro Boulevard, Edina, MN, stated the reason for the change is that because of the hurricanes, the cabinets are in high demand down south and they would not get the cabinets for three months or more. He stated the shelters are larger because they are prefab structures and the equipment inside the structure will be larger than what is placed inside the cabinets. He stated this will not be impacting the enclosed space. Mr. Lesher showed a sample of what the building will be like. r� LJ Commissioner Kirchoff thought with the equipment being enclosed it would be protected better. He thought a shelter would be needed more in the hurricane areas. Mr. Lesher stated he did not know all of the reasons but cabinets are easier and quicker to install. Chairperson Daninger asked who owned the tower. Mr. Lesher stated American Tower owns the tower and they lease space from them for their antenna. Chairperson Daninger wondered if there would be any noise from an air conditioning unit in the summer. Mr. Lesher stated there is an air conditioning unit on the back side of the shelter and only used in the summer. He noted there is no more noise than an air conditioning unit on a house. He stated in the winter the equipment emits enough heat to keep it warm inside. Chairperson Daninger asked if there would be room to co- locate in the shelter. Mr. Lesher stated there would not be. Chairperson Daninger wondered if there would be any landscaping so it would not stick out. Mr. Cross stated they did discuss screening and the area is enclosed by a fence so it was decided there would not b any additional landscaping needed. Commissioner Vatne thought the structure would be an improvement Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Casey, to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit Request. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1 -absent (Holthus) vote. Mr. Cross stated that this item would be before the Council at the December 6, 2005 City Council meeting. 0 Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — November 22, 2005 • Page 7 PUBLICHEARING: CITYCODEAMENDMENTTOAMEIVD CITY CODE 12 -7 TO REQUIREA PERMIT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OFA FENCE OR RETAINING WALL Mr. Vrchota explained the Planning Commission is asked to review a proposal to make two amendments to Section 12 -7 of the City Code, which deals with fences. The first amendment would make it necessary to obtain a permit before the installation of any fence or retaining wall in the City, and has been requested by the City Council. The purpose of this amendment is to give staff a chance to review the proposed location of a fence or retaining wall before it is installed, to prevent them from being installed in drainage and utility easements where they interfere with access to drainage ponds, sewer lines, and other utilities. Mr. Vrchota discussed the staff report with the Commission. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if this specifically states when or where a fence or wall can be installed or is this up to the City. Mr. Vrchota stated the fence ordinance was largely overhauled during the code updates and it does state where a fence or wall is not allowed. Commissioner Vatne stated it sounded like this came about because of drainage issues and fences were installed and issues have come up because of this. Mr. Vrchota stated this code amendment would require any new fence or wall would require a permit so the City can check for any issues. Commissioner Casey wondered why they have two separate applications. Mr. Vrchota stated the purpose for the two different applications is because they have different information on them for fences and retaining walls. Commissioner Vatne wondered how far this will go in regard to smaller tiered walls on the property. Mr. Vrchota read what was required in the Code regarding retaining walls and what would be included or not included. It was noted small retaining walls for decoration or along homes would not need to have a permit. Commissioner Greenwald wondered if developers would need to get a separate retaining wall permit when building a house or would it be included in the building permit. Mr. Vrchota stated he would have to discuss this with the engineer to see what would be needed. He noted Mr. Bednarz indicated the Building Department reviews the retaining walls around the house as part of the building plan. Chairperson Daninger thought this was a starting point and can be reviewed in a year for additions or changes. • Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —November 22, 2005 Page 8 • Chairperson Daninger wondered if the fee was going to be $25.00 and is there any intent of putting the application on line. Mr. Vrchota stated it will be online and available at City Hall. Chairperson Daninger wondered when a resident gets a permit if the City will help them in locating property lines. Mr. Vrchota stated the City does not have the resources to determine this and the resident would have to do this on their own. He stated they can pull the plat for residents to determine where the property lines are. Chairperson Daninger stated the intent is to address the drainage issues and maintenance for the fences but it is the property owner's responsibility to locate the property line and call Gopher State one Call before installing a fence. Mr. Vrchota stated there will be no site inspections. The permit is to show they did get one and the plans for where the fence or retaining wall will be. Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Casey, to open the public hearing at 8:12 p.m. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Holthus) vote. Mr. Winslow Holasek, 1159 Andover Blvd. NW, stated he was at the City Council meeting where they discussed this. He stated this permit should not include farm fences. He thought it should state any "residential fence". • Motion by Vatne, seconded by Casey, to close the public hearing at 8:14 p.m. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Holthus) vote. Mr. Vrchota stated there is an exemption in the City Code regarding an exemption of keeping farm animals contained. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if a resident would need a permit for a fence around a garden to keep pests out. Chairperson Daninger did not think the intent was for getting a permit to install a fence there. Mr. Vrchota stated this has not been addressed and would have to be discussed. Motion by Casey, seconded by Vatne, to accept the amendments to City Code 12 -7 to require a permit for the construction of a fence or retaining wall. Commissioner Vatne stated initially when he looked at this, he wondered if this was more Government, bureaucracy, control or the right thing to do. He thought in this ease it was being proactive to try to prevent major issues. He thought it was for the right purpose but he was very sensitive to the control piece. Commissioner Kirchoff concurred. He stated he was still concerned with someone walking into the Engineering Department and the City will not give them the benefit of doubt indicating it would never be torn down or driven upon but he hoped the City does not go too strong on one end of this and shut out • properties because it still does concern him. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — November 22, 2005 • Page 9 Chairperson Danger thought the intent was good and was creating new jobs for everyone but based upon trying to do better things he was not one for more rules and regulations but he was in favor of the motion. Motion carried on a 4 -ayes, 1 -nays ( Kirchoff), 1- absent (Holthus) vote. Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the December 6, 2005 City Council meeting. OTHER BUSINESS Mr. Bednarz updated the Planning Commission on related items. Commissioner Kirchoff stated on one of the TV stations he noticed they were talking about the ISO ratings for fire and he looked at the internet and found that Andover had one of the highest ratings in the entire metro area and he was very impressed and proud to see that because it keeps their rates down. Chairperson Daninger concurred. Commissioner Vatne wondered when the "Clocktower" Marquee will be going in. Mr. • Bednarz stated there is no proposal at this time but he thought it would be worked out next year. Commissioner Kirchoff wondered if they should look at distinguishing between urban and rural areas when reviewing developments. Chairperson Daninger stated he thought this was discussed previously and at the City Council level and was indicated to leave it as is or not discuss or change it Mr. Bednarz stated the Council did not want to change this. ADJOURNMENT. Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Kirchoff, to adjourn the meeting at 8:25 pm. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Holthus) vote.

DATE: January 10, 2006 INTRODUCTION 49 The City has been approached to change the allowable uses in the commercial zoning districts to enable dry cleaning processing to be performed. In November, 2005 the EDA heard reasons why the use should be allowed in the commercial area known as "Andover Station North" which is located in a General Commercial (GB) zoning district. The minutes of that meeting are attached. The Planning Commission is asked to broaden the review to determine whether this should be changed for other commercial districts as well and whether it should be a permitted or a conditional use. DISCUSSION All dry cleaners must be inspected and follow strict guidelines issued by Anoka County Environmental, MnPCA and the City's Fire Marshall. Older style dry cleaning machines are allowed to operate, however they need to weekly keep track of leaks and repairs (see attached MnPCA compliance report). Note also the MnPCA case study (attached) that shows a new dry-to -dry machine (all self contained) has much lower usage of solvent chemicals. Also attached is a ten page "Frequently Asked Questions" report that may answer many of your questions as to how hazardous this type of business activity is. The EPA and MnPCA consider the chemical that is typically used in the dry cleaning business as a hazardous waste that is tightly controlled. Many of the businesses that use the older machines are probably finding it costly to continue to operate. Note in the attached reading material that a new dry-to- dry machine is very costly to purchase ($49,000 in 1999). The City should consider • establishing the use as a Conditional Use so that it can be more tightly controlled. As a permitted use, there would be the potential for a business to begin to operate with older machines that generally have more leakage problems thus the potential to con taminate the air of the commercial building and surrounding area. The staff recommends that dry cleaning processing facilities be allowed as a Conditional Use in the commercial zoning districts. The criteria to for the City judge whether a Conditional Use permit would be issued is up to the City to determine. In reviewing the information it seems that only newer "dry-to -dry" machines should allowed as a condition of operation. This seems to be the safest way to assure that a dry cleaning processing establishment will not be detrimental to the surrounding businesses or area. ACTION REQUESTED The Planning Commission is asked to review the information on the proposed code amendment, discuss and make a recommendation regarding whether dry cleaning processing should be made a permitted or conditional use in the City's commercial zoning districts.

Mr. Dickinson stated it was to be a contingency on his purchase agreement. Commissioner Orttel thought that if the EDA put a covenant stating there could not be an onsite dry cleaner, the City Council cannot override this because it is a private covenant on the deed. He wondered who has the authority. Councilmember Trude thought it was a City Ordinance that prohibited on -site dry cleaners in the City. Commissioner Jacobson stated by bringing this up, he was not saying no to the dry cleaners. Commissioner Trude stated all of the conditions are conditions for closing. Mr. Dickinson stated this is correct. Mr. Louis Rudnicki introduced Ms. Laura Heffner, owner of Mr. T's, the proposed on -site Dry y Cleaner, who made a presentation to the EDA on how the on site dry cleaner works. Commissioner Nowak wondered if the processing machine has an exhaust. Ms. Heffner stated it is all contained and nothing escapes. Commissioner Jacobson wondered if they need a permit from the State in order to operate. Ms. Heffner stated they have to follow strict guidelines and inspections yearly. Mr. Dickinson stated when there are specific chemicals at a location, the City receives notification. Commissioner Nowak wondered how potent the chemicals are. Ms. Heffner stated it is like turpentine or nail polish remover. It can be potent for extended periods of time but the containers are always closed. Commissioner Nowak wondered how many machines she would have. Ms. Heffner stated she would have one machine, hopefully eventually two machines at this site. Commissioner Twistol wondered if the Fire Department also receives notification of the chemicals. Mr. Dickinson stated they do get notified. Mr. Rudnicki stated all the new machines have a second containment system in case of a spill in the machines. Mr. Rudnicki stated he has a copy of a report from another dry cleaning business indicating before installing new machines they used over 4,000 gallons of chemicals a year and after getting new machines, they used 38 gallons a year, which indicates the efficiency of the machines. -3 Minnesota Pollution AntQUmxry Drycleaner Form DC-02 ea - Control Agency 520 LAFAYETTE RO AD COMPLIANCE REPORT FOR ST.

Approximately 85% of drycleaning shops in the U.S. use perch loroethylene as their primary solvent. Researchers have conducted numerous studies of the commercial drycleaning industry. Some of these studies have evaluated a variety of health and safety hazards; however the greatest emphasis has been placed on worker exposure to perch loroethylene. Research in this industry has involved exposure assessment, engineering control evaluations, and epidemiologic studies. Information concerning these studies is outlined below.

It involves the use of liquid chemicals call solvents that remove most stains from a variety of fabrics. Most drycleaners use perc as th primary solvent. Because the clothes are cleaned in a liquid solution that is mostly perc or other solvent, with very little water if any, the term "drycleaning" is used to describe the p There are some differences in the way drycleaners process clothes, but here is how it typic works: • Drycleaners usually treat spots by hand before placing garments in large machines. • Liquid solvents, detergents, and sometimes a small amount of water, are added to th machines. The machines then agitate clothes in a manner similar to your own washi machine to remove dirt, oil, and stains. • Once clean, the clothes are either dried in the same machine or transferred manually separate dryer, then pressed and shaped. • Used solvent is distilled so it can be purified. Distillation separates the solvent from residues such as detergents, dye, dirt, oil, so the solvent can be reused. In addition tc distillation, most machines also use filters to clean used solvent. • After the purification process, filters which contain the solvent in very small amoun certain solvent residues, such as perc, must be managed and disposed of as hazardot Drycleaners can send them to special facilities for recycling or incineration. back to ton 0 What is perc? Perchloroethylene, or perc, is the do minan t chemical solvent used in dryclea It is is a colorless liquid that has a sharp, sweet odor and evaporates quickly. It is an effective clear solvent and is used by most professional drycleaners because it removes stains and dirt frc common types of fabrics. Perc usually does not cause clothes to shrink, nor dyes to bleed. not flammable, unlike solvents commonly used to clean clothes in the 1930's and `40's. Sn can be reused, it is a cost - effective and efficient solvent for cleaning clothes. Perc is also a chemical with both human health and environmental concerns. back to ton What are the human health concerns associated with perc? The extent of any health effects from perc exposure depends on the amount of perc and he the exposure lasts. People exposed to high levels of perc, even for brief periods, may expe serious symptoms. Those include dizziness, fatigue, headaches, confusion, nausea, and ski eye and mucous membrane irritation. Repeated exposure to high levels can also irritate the eyes, nose and mouth, and can cause liver damage and respiratory failure. Perc might caus at lower levels as well. httnJ/ www. ehso. com /ehshome /drvcleaninedanaers.Dhp _ 12/30/2005 Potential Health Risks from Dry Cleaning Compounds - at Home or Work Page 4 of 10 Studies in laboratory animals indicate that exposures to high levels of perc can produce of the developing fetus that include altered growth, birth defects, and death.

The cancer - causing potential of perc has been extensively investigated. In laboratory studi has been shown to cause cancer in rats and mice when they swallow or inhale it There is i evidence, from several studies of workers in the laundry and drycleaning industry, suggest causal association between perc exposure and elevated risks of certain types of cancer. As health effects, the potential for an increased risk of cancer depends on several factors inch how much perc exposure there is, how often the exposure occurs, and how long it lasts. A] important is the way the exposure occurs, as well as the individual's overall state of health lifestyle, and family traits. In 1995, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (URC), convened a panel of internationally regarded experts which concluded that pert is "probably carcinogenic to In based on limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and sufficient evidence in animal, To further understand risks associated with the use of perc, the Agency will be conducting comprehensive, in -depth health effects assessment of perc through the Agency's Integrate( Information System (ERIS) process.

Based on occupational studies, there is some concern for drycleaning workers because pec work in traditional drycleaning shops are expected to have the highest exposures to perc. I • because they spend a lot of time inside the shops where the perc air levels are usually high levels found outside the shops. There are many factors that influence perc air levels in drycleaning shops and each shop is . Perc evaporates quickly and can enter the air of drycleaning shops in many ways: • From poorly maintained machines; • Through equipment leaks; • From perc that is open to the air, such as when liquid solvent is being added to the n or when there are open drums and tanks containing perc or perc waste materials; • From clothes that are not completely dry or improperly processed; and • From clothes being transferred from a washer to a dryer in older "transfer" machine: have separate washers and dryers. • New drycleaning equipment, control technology, and cleaning practices can signific reduce or eliminate these exposures. For example, "dry-to -dry" machines, which cle dry garments in a single unit and eliminate the need to transfer wet garments from a to a dryer, have replaced many transfer machines and lowered exposures as a result. However, recent reports indicate worker exposures can be high even with new emis: control equipment if proper maintenance and operation practices are not followed. back to ton • What about people who live or work in the same building as a drycleaner? httn:// www. ehso. com /ehshome /drycleaningdangers.php —/l 12/30/2005 Potential Health Risks from Dry Cleaning Compounds - at Home or Work Page 6 of 10 "Co- located" is a term used to describe cleaners that clean clothes on premises and are loc. buildings that also house other businesses and/or residences. People who live or work in tl • building as a co- located drycleaner can have greater than average exposures to perc. This i because pert vapors can pass through floor, ceiling, and wall materials of the drycleaning and into adjacent building space. Perc can also travel outside and re-enter nearby building through holes, vents, and other means. A drycleaner could contaminate the air in neighbor apartments or offices if the cleaner has old equipment, does not properly maintain equipm does not follow proper safety procedures. High perc levels in residences would be of special concern for irritation and other health e including a potential for cancer for occupants who are at home a lot and might be exposed for extended periods of time, such as the elderly, young children, or pregnant women. Scie do not know if perc exposures cause developmental changes in children. back to ton How does perc pollute the environment? Perc can get into the air, water and ground during the cleaning, purification, and waste dis_ phases of drycleaning. Through recent improvements in equipment and more careful oiler. practices, perc consumption and losses to the environment are being reduced. . Outdoor Air • Most of the perc used by the drycleaning industry escapes into the outdoor air throw, windows, vents, and air - conditioning systems. In older drycleaning systems, perc m be vented directly to the outdoors as part of the drycleaning process. Fortunately, m drycleaners now use new machines that control or eliminate the amount of pert that during the cleaning process. Once outdoors, perc can remain in the atmosphere for several weeks, and although amounts are always in the air, perc itself does not deplete the ozone layer of the atm After a few weeks, perc breaks down into other chemicals. Some of which are toxic some of which are suspected to deplete the ozone layer. . Ground Perc is known to be toxic to plants. It can enter the ground in liquid form through sF leaky pipes, leaky tanks, machine leaks, and from improperly handled waste. Signif. amounts of perc have been found in the waste resulting from drycleaning, which is considered a hazardous waste by the EPA. Most of the solid waste materials, which filters used during the drycleaning process as well as residual solvent and soils, are up by hazardous waste management companies for recycling and/or incineration. 0 . Water httD:// www. ehso. com /ehshome /drycleaningdangers.php L ` 12/30/2005 Potential Health Risks from Dry Cleaning Compounds - at Home or Work Page 7 of 10 At the end of the cleaning process, the cleaning fluid is separated from waste water S distillation. In the past, the waste water was often poured down floor drains. In news equipment, the waste water is collected and evaporated, or removed by hazardous w handlers and disposed of through EPA - approved methods. Perc can seep through the ground and contaminate surface water, groundwater, and potentially drinking water. A small amount of perc can contaminate a large amount and people can be exposed by drinking or using the water. EPA has a limit on the ai perc that is allowed to be in drinking water. Well water can be tested to be sure it is the EPA standard. Small amounts of perc in the water have been shown to be toxic to aquatic animals store the chemical in their fatty tissues. back to top Are there any new cleaning methods that may prove to be environmentally preferabl Driven by concerns about perc and other drycleaning solvents, recent advances in both tec and garment care have resulted in a sophisticated machine -based process called °wetclean which uses water as the solvent. Wetcleaning is done in specially- designed machines that . be operated by garment care professionals. While professional cleaners have always emph some form of water -based cleaning methods, often by hand, these historic methods bear li resemblance to the new machine -based wetcleaning process. Wetcleaning is not the same thing as home laundry and can only be done successfully by t professional cleaners using the specialized machines and specially - formulated detergents additives to gently wash and dry clothes. These machines are usually computerized, and li drycleaning machines, can be programmed to control many variables and allow cleaners tc customize cleaning for different garments. Wetcleaned garments can require more work tc and specialized labor - saving equipment has been developed to press and finish wet- (or dr cleaned garments. Wetcleaning is appealing from an environmental point of view because the cleaning proce done in a solution of water with a few percent of additives. As with any new technology, t unanswered questions about the potential environmental impact of wetcleaning, in particu regarding water and energy use. Wetcleaning detergents and additives usually end up goin the drain, and the potential environmental effects of these new products are largely unkno Certain chemicals traditionally used in detergents may pose concern for aquatic toxicity if also found in wetcleaning products. back to top 0 What garments can be successfully wetcleaned and where can I get this service? httn:// www. ehso. com /ehshome /drycleaningdangers.php � 13— 12/30/2005 Potential Health Risks from Dry Cleaning Compounds - at Home or Work Page 8 of 10 Properly trained professional cleaners are now able to successfully wetclean most garment are typically drycleaned. Silks, wool sweaters, linens, suedes and leathers can usually be • wetcleaned, sometimes with superior results. Some cleaners offer wetcleaning to their the sensitive customers. An increasing number of commercial cleaners are incorporating wets into their businesses. This trend is demonstrated by both the dramatically increasing numb machines that wetcleaning machine manufacturers report they have sold in the past few ye the growth of the number of new wetcleaning products on the market. For more information about wetcleaning and to get a partial list of cleaners nationwide tha wetcleaning services, call the Pollution Prevention Information Clearinghouse (PPIC) at (. 260 -1023 and ask for EPA publication called Wetcleaning (EPA 744 -K -96 -002).

The manual also cone useful information on fabrics and fibers. Also, read current news and information on wetc] back to ton Are there any other new methods for cleaning clothes? There are several new technologies on the horizon but only two are commercially availabl time: wetcleaning and a synthetic petroleum solvent process. The new petroleum solvent I has a reduced potential for fire hazards and is currently being used by some drycleaners. E with the new process changes, some local fire codes still restrict or prohibit the use of thes solvents because they are considered a fire hazard. EPA hopes that in the near future, professional cleaners will have a wide range of environmentally - preferable cleaning processes to choose from. There are a number of nevk processes at different stages of development, such as: • Cleaning processes based on liquid carbon dioxide are being tested and show promi environmentally sound cleaning systems. This innovative process has been recogni2 pollution prevention achievements by both the prestigious Presidential Green Chem Challenge and the R&D 100 Awards Programs. • A process based on glycol ethers is currently in the development and testing stage. . A water -based process using ultrasonic energy is under development. . Several other new solvents are also being developed. back to ton 14. What can I do to help reduce environmental and health risks from drycleaning? The most important thing you can do is to choose a high quality cleaner who acts responsi toward the environment. Most professional drycleaners are experts in fabricare and are aIr http:// www. ehso. com /ehshome /drycleaningdangers.php ld l' 12/30/2005 Potential Health Risks from Dry Cleaning Compounds - at Home or Work Page 9of10 familiar with these issues. They will be able to advise you on whether or not your garment successfully cleaned in new cleaning processes. Some specific things you can do include: • Know what you are buying. Learn about cleaning processes and know what options available to you from your local professional cleaners. • Ask your cleaner about her/his cleaning methods, safety and maintenance practices, how s/he handles her/his solvent waste streams. • Bring your clothes to a professional cleaner who carefully follows safety requiremei properly maintains her/his cleaning equipment. • If your professional cleaner offers the new machine wetcleaning process as an optio consider asking your cleaner to wetclean your clothes. • Help your cleaner determine the best way to clean your clothes by telling her/him h( were soiled (e.g., food, ink, make -up), and by giving her/him the fabric content info off the care labels if you remove the labels for any reason. • If you smell solvent when you enter a cleaning shop, you might want to consider go somewhere else as solvent odors can indicate improper processing or solvent use. • If you think all of the solvent was not removed, or if your newly drycleaned clothes like solvent, ask your cleaner to re- process your order or take them to another clean( cleaning. back to ton • What are drycleaners doing to reduce environmental and health risks from dryclean The approximately 30,000 drycleaners in the United States share the public's concerns abc to the environment and human health from exposure to cleaning solvents. Many professioi cleaners have taken significant steps to reduce releases. A chemical industry survey report the past ten years, drycleaners have reduced their use of perc by more than 60 %. Most of t accomplished through the replacement of old perc equipment with machines designed to r perc vapors going into the air, and better waste management. Increasing numbers of drycleaners use new work practices which can significantly reduce exposures even in older equipment. Regular cleaning, inspection, and maintenance of equi (e.g., ensuring repairing leaking gaskets and cleaning clogged dampers) help reduce perc emissions. In addition, some drycleaners install vapor barriers and build room enclosures help keep perc from entering neighboring spaces, and provide safety training for workers t reduce worker exposures to perc. An increasing number of commercial cleaners are incorporating new "greener" cleaning n- such as wetcleaning, into their facilities. Some cleaners are involved in testing some of the emerging technologies still in development. back to ton • NIOSH Publications and other links http:// www. ehso. com /ehshome /drycleaningdangers.php — /5— 12/30/2005 Potential Health Risks from Dry Cleaning Compounds - at Home or Work Page 10 of 10 Links to Other Drycleaning Sites ■ EPA - Garment and Textile Care Program ■ OSHA - Dry Cleaning ■ Neighborhood Cleaners Association ■ International Fabricare Institute • Union of Needletrades Industrial and Textile Employees • Toxics Use Reduction Institute is Center for Neighborhood Technology Copyright C 2002, 2003, 2004 EHSO Ali rights reserved.

DATE: January 10, 2006 INTRODUCTION Shaw's Glen is a new proposed residential subdivision north of Grey Oaks on 157' Lane. The development sits on 8.5 acres that are currently zoned R -1. The applicant is asking that the land • be rezoned to R4 to accommodate the new subdivision. DISCUSSION Shaw's Glen has proposed 11 units on 8.5 acres of land. Ten of the lots are roughly 22,500 square feet, or about 1 /z acre. The remaining lot is 2.8 acres. The applicant has asked to rezone all the properties to R-4. The 2.8 -acres lot belongs to the owner of all the land being subdivided. While he intends to stay on his property as long as he can, his lot has been ghost platted with potential lot lines for 5 additional R-4 lots. This would bring the total lot count for Shaw's Glen to 15. The lot sizes would all remain higher than the 11,400 sq. ft. minim required in an R-4 zoning district. The new lots can be served with City sewer and water by connecting to lines in the Grey Oaks development. Shaw's Glen is within the current sewer expansion area and sufficient capacity exists to serve it. As with all rezonings, the City must meet one of the two following findings that are provided by state statute: 1. The original zoning was in error. 2. The character of the area and/or times and conditions have changed to such an extent to warrant the Rezoning. The times and conditions have changed with the arrival of municipal services to properties • adjacent to the applicant's property. Sewer service is available through the nearby Grey Oaks development. With city water and sewer available, this area will be able to developed at a density that an R -4 zoning classification provides. Staff Recommendation • Staff recommends a favorable recommendation for this rezoning. ACTION REQUESTED The Planning Commission is asked to recommend approval of the rezoning request based on the fact that times and conditions have changed.

DATE: January 10, 2006 INTRODUCTION The Planning Commission is asked to review a preliminary plat for Shaw's Glen. The proposed 11 -lot urban residential project is located north of Grey Oaks on 157 Lane NW. DISCUSSION Conformance with Local Plans 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 and Street Improvements Traffic from this development will enter and exit on Nightingale Street from 157'' Lane. 157' Lane will be upgraded through a Public Improvement project. Each of the three new developments m the area benefiting from the improvements will share in the cost. Nightingale Street NW will require turn lane improvements at the intersections of 157'' Lane NW and the future 15e Lane NW. The cost of these improvements will be divided among the number of lots that will be served by these intersections, including Cardinal Ridge, Woodland Crossings and properties that are not developing at this time. The existing house on the west side of Shaw's Glen has a driveway onto Nightingale Street NW, which is designated as a collector street. City Code 11 -3 -2 -C prohibits driveways onto collector streets and the Engineering Department makes an effort to remove existing driveways along collector routes whenever possible. The City Engineer is thus recommending to the City Council that the existing driveway at 15711 Nightingale Street NW be moved off Nightingale and relocated to 157 Lane as part of this development. If the Planning Commission allows the driveway to remain in its current location, a variance will be required to bring this property into compliance with the Code. Utilities & 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. There are existing overhead utilities serving this development and the proposed Cardinal Ridge and Woodland Crossing developments. These will be required to be removed and placed underground as the developments move forward. Lots All I 1 of the lots meet or exceed the minimum lot width, depth and area requirements of the R-4 Zoning District. Lot 1 is 2.8 acres and contains an existing house. At some point in the future Lot 1 will likely be further subdivided into additional R-4 lots. Lots 7, 8, and 9 are affected by the development's drainage pond. The pond bisects the lots and could create difficulty accessing their south sides. Lot 8 is completely halved by the pond, which could present maintenance concerns in the future for the homeowners. To answer this concern, the developer has proposed low- maintenance plantings on the rear of Lot 8. Sidewalks A sidewalk along the north side of 157 Lane NW is included in the resolutions for each of the affected plats. The cost of this sidewalk will be divided proportionately among the lots that benefit from this improvement. Buildability Requirements 0 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. Wetlands on the east comer of the development do not affect any of the lots. Tree Protection Plan While a number of pines along 157 Lane are to be removed, a large number of trees on the east and west ends of Shaw's Glen will be preserved. 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. The developer is also required to meet all other applicable ordinances, including: • 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 0 ACTION REQUESTED The Planning Commission is asked to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat of Shaw's Glen subject to the conditions of the attached resolution.

DATE: January 10, 2006 INTRODUCTION The Planning Commission is asked to review a Preliminary Plat for Cardinal Ridge. The Commission and Council previously reviewed a sketch plan for the proposed project (see attached minutes). It is important to note that this project will be coordinated with the Shaws Glen and Woodland Crossings plats as they will all share access to 157 Lane NW. DISCUSSION Conformance with Local Plans and Ordinances 1. The property is located in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and within the current stage of sewer expansion. 2. The property is currently zoned R -1, Single Family Rural Residential. A rezoning to R -4 is necessary to allow the project to move forward. The project is designed to conform to the R -4 Zoning District requirements. Changes Since Sketch Plan The Frederickson property to the north has been added to the plat to help provide the second access requested by the Planning Commission and City Council The Council determined that Linnet Street NW would not be connected to the north at this time, but wanted to preserve the existing street easement for the future. • Martin and Linnet streets will also be connected as shown on the attached plat. Site Design The proposed plat contains 34 single family lots arranged around a loop street. There are nine double frontage lots along Nightingale Street NW. As discussed during the sketch plan, the applicant is requesting variances to allow double frontage lots along a collector street. Double frontage lots are typically permitted only on Arterial streets. Findings for the variances include the following: The City has requested two street connections with Nightingale Street NW. The location of the first connection is already established with existing 157 Lane NW. The location of the second C I access is dictated by spacing requirements and the necessity to provide adequate space for turn lane improvements. Consequently, the plat has been designed to accommodate the street connections and results in double frontage lots along Nightingale Street NW. • Tree Preservation The tree preservation plan shows the proposed tree save areas at three of the four corners of the plat. Tree preservation along Nightingale Street NW was stressed during the sketch plan process to provide a buffer for the proposed double frontage lots. Storm water requirements result in the extremely large pond shown along Nightingale Street NW. This pond will eliminate much of the existing tree buffer. The applicant is proposing to transplant trees into the tree planting area shown on the Tree Preservation Plan. The applicant will be required to comply with the established screening requirements as follows: City Code 12 -14 -5: Screening: 4. Multiple Frontage Residential Lots: Screening between the rear yard and the adjacent street shall be provided to achieve a minimum height of six feet at plant maturity as measured from the surface of the adjacent street. Such screening must consist of: a. Existing vegetation b. A compact evergreen or deciduous hedge c. deciduous and coniferous trees d. A landscaped berm e. A combination of the above Buildability • Each of the lots will meet the buildability requirements of the City, specifically providing the first 100 feet of the lot with suitable soils to be buildable and an additional 16.5 feet beyond the first 100 feet for lots adjacent to wetlands and storm water ponds. Streets Two connections with Nightingale Street NW are provided. 157 Lane NW will be converted to an urban road section and will provide the primary access to Cardinal Ridge, Shaws Glen and Woodland Crossing. Proposed Linnet Street NW straddles the east property line and will provide a second access to the east when the property develops. As mentioned above, the Council has determined that Linnet Street NW will not be connected to the north at this time. The proposed curve as Linnet Street NW meets 158 Lane NW will prevent the street connection to the north in the future. The Planning Commission and Council are asked to determine if this street design is acceptable. if the City wants to preserve the ability for Linnet Street NW to be connected to the north in the future, 158 Lane NW should be aligned to allow a ninety degree intersection in the future instead of the curve that is presently shown. Improvements to Nightingale Street NW Turn lane improvements to Nightingale Street NW will be necessary at both of the new intersections with Nightingale Street NW. The cost of these improvements will be divided among the number of lots that will be served by these intersections, including Shaw's Glen, Woodland Crossings and properties that are not developing at this time. • Petition for Public Improvements 2 The property owners within the Cardinal Ridge, Shaw's Glen and Woodland Crossings plats have petitioned the City to construct the infrastructure to serve them, including the turn lane • improvements described above. As discussed during the sketch plan process, a portion of the street, sewer and water improvements will serve property outside of these three plats. The cost of projects constructed as a public improvement is divided equally among the number of lots that will be served. In this case that will include the three plats as well as the number of lots that are anticipated to be developed in the future on the Putnam, Allen and Bloomstrom properties. Lots The plat will conform to the lot width, depth and area requirements of the Single Family Urban Residential Zoning District. Neighborhood Park The Park Commission has recommended that a neighborhood park be located within the Woodland Crossings plat to the east. Park dedication and trail fees will be collected on a per lot basis for the Cardinal Ridge plat. Pedestrian Access A sidewalk along the north side of 157"' Lane NW is included in the resolutions for each of the affected plats. The cost of this sidewalk will be divided proportionately among the lots that can be achieved in this area. The proposed development is within a two mile radius of Andover Middle School and Andover • Elementary School which means school age children will be asked to walk to these schools. The City's Transportation Plan shows a trail along Nightingale Street NW in the Proposed Long Range category. The City's Capital Improvement Plan indicates that Nightingale Street NW will be reconstructed in 2008. This future trail segment should be included as a part of that project. Please note that a trail is recommended through the Woodland Crossings plat to connect with Hanson Boulevard to provide an off street pedestrian route (as discussed in that plat report). Easements The typical urban lot easements are proposed, including ten foot wide front and rear and five foot wide side yard drainage and utility easements. Additional easements are provided to cover wetland, storm water drainage areas and utilities. Area Identification Sign No information has been provided regarding this item. Attachments Resolution Location Map Preliminary Plat Plan Set Planning Commission Minutes Council Minutes Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the proposed plat subject to the conditions of the attached resolution. . ACTION REQUESTED The Planning Commission is asked to discuss the proposed project, suggest any changes they feel are necessary and to make a recommendation to the Council. g02 td 5 Cc: Ben Minks Minks Custom Homes 17024 Barium Street NW 4 CITY OF ANDOVER COUNTY OF ANOKA • STATE OF MINNESOTA RES.

Mr. Bednarz stated the Planning Commission is asked to review residential sketch plan for a single family development. Mr. Bednarz discussed the staff report with the Commission. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if the applicant prefers to create the 158' Lane that connects to temporary cul -de -sacs and would preclude the road going through to Linnet Street or would there be an intersection at 158' and Linnet Street. Mr. Bednarz stated this was correct. The applicant's proposal is for the temporary cul-de -sac with the street connection in the future. He stated this would not preclude a street connection to the north but it would not build it either. There is potential on 157 b Lane for around ninety urban lots. Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Casey, to open the public hearing at 8:12 p.m. Motion carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote. Mr. Phil Greger, 15751 Linnet Street, stated this plan does not make sense to him at all. He stated what they are doing is helping the developer develop his land and devalue their property by eliminating their cul -de -sac. He did not see why they would make this a through street. Mr. Scott Allen, 15873 Linnet Street, stated he was in agreement with Mr. Greger. He stated he has a little girl and they like the temporary cul -de -sac and would like to see this stay the way it is. He did not see the problem with them doing the road the way it is shown on the sketch plan, with a "U ". Mr. Greger stated the biggest issue he has is the children on the streets. He stated the cul- de -sac reduces the traffic significantly. He thought if the developer was going to develop this land and he was going to profit from it, the burden should be put on him and not the residents. Mr. Ben Minks stated he does not control the triangle on the Fredrickson property needed to connect Linnet St. He stated he has reached an agreement to purchase that property in the spring of 2007 so the cul -de -sac on Martin Street will not stay there. Motion by Kirchoff, seconded by Casey, to close the public hearing at 8:21 p.m. Motion carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote. Commissioner Greenwald stated they have looked at many plats and what they do not have is the length of the temporary cul -de -sacs. He wondered how long the temporary . cul -de -sac will be. Mr. Bednarz stated they are shown at 720 feet. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —April 12, 2005 • Page 7 Commissioner Kirchoff stated this was designated as a temporary cul -de -sac at one time and he supported this road going through to 157 at some time and to connect the two temporary cul -de -sacs. He liked the idea of additional circulation within the entire development. He stated it is not a matter of these roads supporting just this development, but will support the new development coming in the east. Commissioner Holthus wondered if they could take 158 to the west out onto Nightingale rather than go to the east or all the way across. She wondered if Nightingale had a limitation as to the distance between intersections. Mr. Bednarz stated the minimum spacing between intersections on Nightingale is 330 feet. Mr. Bednarz stated part of the thinking with the connection is that there will be another connection north of 157 into the development so there is more of a looped street within. Chair Daninger asked if the developer could put a road connecting the two cul -de -sacs without the property to be purchased in 2007. Mr. Bednarz stated they could. Commissioner Holthus wondered why they needed a connection to Linnet if they already have a connection to Nightingale. Commissioner Jasper thought the Linnet connection would have to go through when the Fredericks property was developed. Chairperson Daninger suggested there be a street connection to Nightingale. Chairperson Daninger summarized the changes the Commission would like to see to the development. Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the May 3, 2005 City Council meeting. WOR%SESSION a. Zoning Ordinance Update It was noted Section 12 -14 -7 will be stricken from the Code. City Code 12 -13 Uses 12 -13 is the "Uses" section of the zoning code. It identifies which uses are permitted, permitted accessory, conditional, and prohibited in each zoning district. The proposed change is the list of uses will be inserted into a table to make it easier to • reference and understand, and eliminate confusion. The only proposed use change at this point is adding "Agencies selling or displaying recreational vehicles, boats, and marine Regular Andover City Council Meeting • Minutes —May 17, 2005 Page 15 CONSIDER RESIDENTL4L SKETCHPLAN /CARDINAL RIDGE (CONTINUED) Community Development Director Neumeister stated this item was reviewed by the Council at the May P meeting. Councilmember Trade wondered if staff supported the road that bisects the development. Mr. Berkowitz stated they do not because it does not meet space guidelines. Mayor Gamache stated his issue with this development along with Woodland Development is it seems they do have two accesses into the developments and he would like to stay consistent as much as possible. He indicated he could live with the loop street and he thought they had enough access. He stated he can support this development. Councilmember Trade stated eventually there will be three connections, two connections to the north. If 157 connects only to these homes, and they do not connect Linnet, then they have a problem with no access for one hundred homes. She stated this puts them in a difficult situation with the neighborhood of Linnet as a logical access that is doable. They looked at going out to Hanson and they have the wetlands along with the County, which is even harder to obtain access from. She does not know if they can keep working with the County on these issues. She does not know how else they can do it. Is it appropriate not to have a safety valve for one hundred homes with sewer and water. She did not see an alternative and that is the problem. If they do not take Linnet, they do not have a safety valve for one hundred single family homes. Councilmember Orttel stated he likes the idea of 158 th Avenue going west from Martin Street out to 158 Avenue on the other side of Nightingale Street. This would give them another access without impacting the rural people. He thought this would be a quicker access. Mayor Gamache wondered if they want to do something with a right - in/right -out. He thought it would be nice to have an access onto Hanson. Councilmember Trade wondered if it would be worth pursuing this with a right - in/right -out only. Mayor Gamache thought the only problem would be the cost for the developer. Councilmember Orttel thought they could get some nice lots on the high land to the north. Mr. Berkowitz stated the two questions would be if it is feasible and if they can get County approval for access onto Hanson. The Council discussed access points with staff: Mayor Gamache indicated he would prefer 158 th Avenue as an access point. Councilmember Knight agreed. Councilmember Jacobson indicated he would like to see a connection at 158 th Lane. Councilmembers Knight, Orttel, Trade and Mayor Gamache indicated they would like to see a • connection at 158 d ' Avenue. Councilmember Trade stated she did not want to put a road through a wetland. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — May 17, 2005 Page 16 Mr. Neumeister wondered if the developer would be contributing to intersection improvements or would they pay for full improvements. Councilmember Orttel thought this would be included in the costs with the other properties involved. Mr. Dickinson stated that would be correct if it is done as a 429 process that was indicated earlier. Councilmember Orttel stated he would prefer to not do a 429 process and to just allocate the costs to the development. This way they would not assess the Putnams until they are ready to develop. Mr. Neumeister stated short term the top portion of the horseshoe is not going to connect because they do not own the property. He wondered if the Council would be supportive of the variances for the cul -de -sac length. Mayor Gamache wondered if the developer is going to buy that property. Mr. Neumeister indicated he is looking to purchase the property. Mr. Neumeister also wondered if there was going to be a turn back or a vacation of the Linnet Street right -of -way that runs adjacent to Mr. Scott Allen's home. The Council indicated they are going to keep the right -of -way. Mr. Neumeister wondered if council would be in favor of the variance for the double frontage lots along Nightingale. The Council indicated they would be in favor of this. • Mr. Scott Allen, 15873 Linnet Street, stated the MUSA line ends at the north end of his property. He stated his neighborhood would not like to connect Linnet Street to this neighborhood and they would favor 158' Avenue as a connection into the development. CODER RESIDENTL4L SKETCH PLANIKENSINGTON 7 ADDITION Community Director Neumeister stated the City Council is asked to review a sketch plan with Planned t Development (P.U.D) review for a 6.4 -acre site adjacent to the WDE landfill. The site is unique in its ape and also by the fact that there is a 200 -foot no -build buffer around the adjacent landfill that signi i tly reduces the usable amount of land for this development. The applicant has proposed a Planne t Development to facilitate development on the site. Councilmember Trude asked if the zoning t now is single family. Mr. Neumeister stated that is correct. Councilmember Jacobson asked the developer who owns tlot A in the lower right hand corner. Mr. Jay Windschitl, 3680152 " Lane, stated the parcel is not p fthe development and he believes the City owns the property. Councilmember Jacobson agreed with the Planning and Zoning Commission t to remain all R-4. • Councilmember Knight agreed. Councilmember Trude thought that was the reaso =havespeci so many people in the neighborhood at the meeting.

DATE: January 10, 2006 INTRODUCTION The Planning Commission is asked to review the proposed rezoning to allow the Woodland Crossings plat 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 character of the area or times and conditions have changed to such an extent to warrant the Rezoning. The property is located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area and also within the current stage of sewer expansion. Times and conditions have changed with the extension of municipal sewer and water into this area of the City. It is now appropriate to rezone the property to Single Family Urban Residential (R -4) at the request of the property owners to allow the property to utilize the available municipal sewer and water.

DATE: January 10, 2006 INTRODUCTION The Planning Commission is asked to review a Preliminary Plat with Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.) review for Woodland Crossings. The Commission and Council previously reviewed a sketch plan for the proposed project (see attached minutes). It is important to note that this project will be coordinated with the Shaws Glen and Cardinal Ridge plats as they will all share access to 157` Lane NW. DISCUSSION Conformance with Local Plans and Ordinances 1. The property is located in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and within the current stage of sewer expansion. 2. The property is currently zoned R -1, Single Family Rural Residential. A rezoning to R -4 is necessary to allow the project to move forward. 3. The proposed project requires Planned Unit Development Review to establish standards unique to this development. The Planning Commission is asked to review the proposed P.U.D. based on new City Code 13 —3, "Planned Unit Development" Changes Since Sketch Plan The streets proposed to serve the detached townhomes have been changed from 24 foot wide private streets to 28 foot wide public streets. The existing cul -de -sac at the end of 157 Lane NW is proposed to be eliminated. • The neighborhood park location has been refined based on review by the Park Commission and staff. This caused the location of detached townhomes to be adjusted, but the number of units is the same as previously proposed (14). An outlot has been added at the northwest comer of the plat to accommodate access to future lots from the Allen property to the northwest. Site Design • The proposed plat contains three components. The first is a standard R -4 type development with lots that conform to the requirements of this zoning district. The second is a detached townhouse concept that utilizes upland areas surrounded by wetland to establish small lots for a housing style similar to the Townhomes of Woodland Creek. The third is a 10.99 acre lot with a large wetland that borders Hanson Boulevard along the east side of the proposed development. No use of this lot is proposed as a part of the plat. The Anoka County Highway Department has commented that no access will be permitted to this lot and it is anticipated that the County will require the right of access to be dedicated when the plat is recorded. (see attached letter). As a result of the access issue, staff would recommend that the lot be combined with the association maintained portion of the plat (Lot 15, Block 3) instead of being created as a separate lot with no access. If the developer wishes to reserve the right to mine the area and/or create wetland credit this can be handled through the association documents. Buildability Each of the standard R -4 lots will meet the buildability requirements of the City, specifically providing the first 100 feet of the lot with suitable soils to be buildable and an additional 16.5 feet beyond the first 100 feet for lots adjacent to wetlands and storm water ponds. The detached townhouse component will not meet the City's buildability requirements. As the attached grading plan indicates, the buildings would be located close to some wetland edges. This is one of the items that needs to be justified under the planned unit development review criteria. Streets The streets within the standard R -4 portion of the plat will meet the City's typical street standard, specifically a 33 foot wide street from back of curb to back of curb. This will include 157"' Lane NW. As mentioned above, the detached townhouse component is now proposed to have 28 foot wide public streets. This would prevent the creation of private streets, minimiz wetland impact and preserve as much upland as possible for building sites. However, this proposal is below the City's 33 foot wide typical urban street standard. It also should be noted that 28 foot wide public streets have been approved for developments such as Miller's Woods and the Village at Andover Station. The reduced street width needs to be justified under the planned unit development review criteria. The Public Works Department is opposed to the reduced street width and would prefer that all streets were constructed to the same standard. The proposed extension of 157 Lane NW will exceed the 500 foot maximum cul -de -sac length as measured from the intersecting centerlines of proposed Jay Street NW and existing 157 Lane NW. A variance to City Code 11 -3 -3G. is requested to allow access to the usable property that is otherwise surrounded by wetland. The finding for the variance is that the proposed street provides the only feasible access to developable property otherwise surrounded by wetland. • 2 . Lots The standard R -4 portion of the plat will conform to the lot width, depth and area requirements of the Single Family Urban Residential Zoning District. The detached townhouse component is proposed to have individual lots for each home surrounded by common area maintained by a homeowners association. The reduced lot size and setbacks will need to be justified under the planned unit development review criteria (see this section for additional information). Neighborhood Park The Park Commission has recommended that a neighborhood park be located within the development as shown on the attached plan set. The minutes from the November 17, 2005 meeting are attached. Credit for park land will only be given for useable land that is outside of wetland areas. The remainder of park dedication will be paid as calculated by the City Code. Improvements to Nightingale Street NW Improvements to Nightingale Street NW will be necessary at both of the new intersections that are proposed. The cost of these improvements will be divided among the number of lots that will be served by these access points including properties that are not developing at this time. The three developers involved have agreed to petition the City to construct these improvements as well as 157' Lane NW and will pay their share of the assessments as the lots are developed. It is believed that the Council will defer the assessments for the remaining properties that are not developing at this time. In this scenario, these properties will bear a deferred assessment based on the per lot method of calculation that will be due at the time they develop their property. Pedestrian Access A sidewalk along the north side of 157 Lane NW is included in the resolutions for each of the affected plats. The cost of this sidewalk will be divided proportionately among the lots that can be achieved in this area. The proposed development is within a two mile radius of Andover Middle School and Andover Elementary School which means school age children will be asked to walk to these schools. With the large wetland between Hanson Boulevard and the proposed development students will be forced to walk out to Nightingale Street NW and south to 150 Lane NW and then through the Grey Oaks development before heading south along Hanson Boulevard to these schools. Staff recommends that a trail be provided either to Hanson Boulevard or to 150 Lane NW through Grey Oaks to provide a more direct route. The Planning Commission and Council are asked to determine whether the trail installation will be included as a condition of approval of the PUD. Easements Easements are provided at the perimeter of each proposed building site within the standard R -4 portion of the plat. Easements are provided outside of the lot box for the proposed detached townhomes. Additional easements are provided for these two portions of the plat to cover wetland, storm water drainage areas and maintenance vehicle access points. A ten foot perimeter • easement is provided for the 10.99 acre lot along Hanson Boulevard. 3 Tree Preservation The tree preservation plan shows the proposed tree save areas in seven locations. • Planned Unit Development (PUD) Review - Woodland Crossings City Code 13 -3 provides criteria for determining the value of the applicant's planned unit development proposal. 13 -3 -9: FINDINGS REQUIRED: In order for a PUD to be approved, the city shall find that the following are present: 1. The proposed development is not in conflict with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan of the City. 2. The proposed development is designed in such a manner as to form a desirable and unified environment within its own boundaries. 3. The proposed development demonstrates how each modified or waived requirement contributes to achieving the purpose of PUD. 4. The PUD is of composition and arrangement that its construction, marketing, and operation are feasible as a complete unit without dependence on any subsequent unit. 13 -3 -11: identifies Desirable PUD Design Qualities that are sought in any PUD proposal. A. Achieves efficiency in the provision of streets and utilities and preserves area to achieve the elements of design qualities described in this Chapter. B. Provides convenient and safe access for vehicles and pedestrians and all types of activity that are anticipated to be a part of the proposed development. • C. Provides a buffer between different uses, adjacent properties, roadways, between backyards of back -to -back lots. D. Preserves existing stands of trees and/or significant trees. E. Provides considerable landscaping treatments that compliment the overall design and contribute toward an overall landscaping theme. F. Preserves significant usable space on individual lots or through the provision of open space within the development. G. Provides an attractive streetscape through the use of undulating topography, landscaping, decorative street lighting, decorative mailbox groupings, retaining walls, boulders, fencing, area identification signs, etc. H. The proposed structures within the development demonstrate quality architectural design and the use of high quality building materials for unique design and detailing. I. The lasting quality of the development will be ensured by design, maintenance and use guidelines established through an owners association. The developer has provided a letter to summarize the proposed project and respond to the review criteria (attached). The Planning Commission is asked to determine whether the proposed planned unit development satisfies the criteria outlined above. If the Commission feels that modifications can be made to'better achieve the desirable PUD design qualities described above, it is encouraged to include these in their recommendation to the Council. • 9 Proposed PUD Development Standards Item R4 Standard P.U.D.

Request Street Width 33 feet 28 feet Similar structures within 300 feet of Not allowed Allow 14 similar units one another 100 feet plus 16.5 feet Varies, but 12 of 14 Buildability adjacent to wetlands and detached twnhomes have storm ponds less than required Homes The standard R -4 portion of the plat will contain a variety of housing styles similar to other Woodland developments. City Code 9 -1 -4 requires homes within 300 feet of one another to have substantially different architectural design. The detached townhouse portion of the development will be similar to the Townhomes of Woodland Creek except that the homes will not be attached and will each have their own lot (see attached housing style graphic). As the architecture of these structures will be the same, this is another item that will need to be justified under the planned unit development review criteria. Landscaping Plan A landscaping plan has been provided and is attached for the planned unit development portion of the plat. It should be noted that trees shown on the neighborhood park layout recommended • by the Park Commission are not included on the attached landscaping plan. A condition of approval will require these trees to be included. Area Identification Sign No area identification sign is proposed. • Attachments Resolution Location Map Preliminary Plat Plan Set Applicant's Letter - P.U.D. Narrative Description Building Elevations Letter — Anoka County Highway Department Neighborhood Park Layout Park Commission Minutes Planning Commission Minutes Council Minutes Staff Recommendation The Andover Review Committee remains in favor of the standard R -4 portion of the proposed plat. ARC acknowledges the detached townhome design will allow lots to be created where the R -4 requirements cannot be met, but believes more can be done to satisfy the planned unit development criteria, especially the desirable PUD Design Qualities described above. One method of better satisfying the PUD Design Qualities would be for the developer to pay for the construction of the neighborhood park improvements, including shelter, play structure, '/z court basketball and benches. • ACTION REQUESTED The Planning Commission is asked to discuss the proposed project, to suggest any changes they feel are necessary and to make a recommendation to the Council.

Woodland Development has received sketch plan approval for the proposed plat of Woodland Crossings. The proposed plat is located off of 157 Lane NW and Nightingale Street. Woodland Development is proposing 23 single family lots and 14 townhome lots. The proposed plat requires us to rezone the property from R -1 to R4 and it further requires us to follow title 13, chapter 3, Planned Unit Development (PUD) of the Andover City Code. We are asked in this narrative to explain how the proposed plat will create a better project than can be achieved through the city s typical R-4 standards. ARCHITECTURAL STYLE OVERALL APPEARANCE AND COMPATIBILITY OF INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS TO OTHER SITE ELEMENTS: The plat will provide a unique community within the City of Andover. The smaller lot sizes would create a better community than the typical R-4 standards, because it would allow us to take advantage of a unique parcel of land. Purchasers would be able to take advantage of better S home settings located on upland areas surrounded by wetlands. The smaller lot sizes make good 13632 Van Buren St. NE Ham Lake, Minnesota 55304 (763) 427 -7500 FAX: (763) 427 -0192 v,ww.woodlanddevelopmentcorp. com DEVELOPMENT CORP. Woodland Crossings Preliminary Plat Exhibit B: Narrative For PUD Review • use of buildable land. Due to specific City Ordinance requirements, such as minimum square footage and building setbacks, these unique settings and use of the land would not be achieved with the city's typical R4 standards. These upland areas are buildable and are included within the city's MUSA boundary. The plat will allow for single family living, with two different housing options for future home buyers. The proposed plat would consist of 23 single family lots that would meet the city's required lot size for R4 zoning of 11,400 square feet. The plat would also consist of 14 detached townhome lots. This type for housing creates a community that caters to life cycle housing, specifically to the empty nester who is looking to down size from the typical single family home. This type of home allows for maintenance free living for those who don't want to, or are unable to maintain grass and shovel snow. These houses would be maintained by a homeowners association which would take care of all of the outside maintenance and keep this community looking pristine. DISTINCTIVNESS AND EXCELLENCE IN SETTING DESIGN AND LANDSCAPING: Under a PUD, we are able to protect and enhance some of the natural amenities to this parcel of land. The natural amenities include the number of trees on this parcel of land along with the wetlands. Smaller lot sizes will create a better project than typical R4 standards because smaller lot sizes allow for more tree preservation. With smaller lot sizes and unique landscaping, such as retaining walls, more trees on the site will be able to be preserved and protected. Woodland Crossings Preliminary Plat Exhibit B: Narrative For PUD Review • The property has a number of different wetlands, which create natural buffers and attractive home settings. The use of wetlands, tree preservation, parks and approved landscape architecture will create natural buffers within the proposed development. All single family lots would have protective covenants and restrictions. All townhomes will have specific landscaping requirements, which would include retaining walls where necessary, landscape rock around the entire perimeter of the homes, and a specific number of shrubs and trees to be planted around the house. All of these amenities will be maintained by a homeowners association. Included is a diagram showing the proposed building elevation for the townhomes that will be constructed on the lots. These homes will be very similar to the units that were constructed in the Townhomes of Woodland Creek plat in the City of Andover. The same building materials would be used for these homes such as maintenance free steel siding, 25 year warranty Timberline singles, Anderson windows and doors, and masonry brick fronts. OVERALL DESIGN OF STREETS: Streets are needed in order to provide road frontage and access to the 14 townhome lots. The project shows proposed 28 foot wide public streets versus a typical 30 foot wide street. 28 foot wide public streets would create a better project than the typical 30 foot residential street because they minimize the amount of wetland impacts. A typical residential street would require impacts to DNR protected wetlands and mitigation is not allowed. With the proposed 28 foot wide streets there are no impacts to DNR protected wetlands. Woodland Crossings Preliminary Plat Exhibit B: Narrative For PUD Review U CONCLUSION: We are asking for the city's approval so that we are able to move forward with this project. Our intent is to develop this parcel in such a manner that it will truly be one of the more attractive developments within the city. Our attempt in this narrative is to demonstrate the benefits this plat would have for the city, as described in the PUD ordinance. Altogether, this entire project would create a wonderful community within the City of Andover. Thank you for your time and consideration.

N.W., ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304 -4005 (763) 862 -4200 FAX (763) 862 -4201 RECEIVED November 3, 2005 Courtney Bednarz City of Andover 1685 Crosstown Blvd. NW Andover, MN 55304 NO.; 7 100: CITY OF ANDOVER RE: Preliminary Plat Woodland Crossings Dear Courtney: We have reviewed the Preliminary Plat for Woodland Crossings, located west of CSAH 78 (Hanson Blvd) and south of 157` Lane NW within the City of Andover, and I offer the following comments. This portion of CSAH 78 has an existing 150ft right way corridor that should be adequate for future reconstruction purposes. Consequently, no additional right of way will be required at this time. As proposed, all lots within this plat will have access via local roadways, which is acceptable. No direct access to CSAH 78 will be permitted for this development and the right of access along CSAH 78 shall be dedicated to Anoka County. If Lot 16, Block 3 (which lies immediately adjacent to CSAH 78) will need access to a local roadway at any time in the future, the plat must be reconfigured to provide access via the City Streets or private drives within the plat. No driveways or access connections will be permitted to CSAH 78 for Lot 16, Block 3. Any existing driveways or field entrances onto CSAH 78 within the boundaries of this plat shall be removed and the ditch section restored to match existing depth, slope, and grades. Prior to the sale of any parcels, the developer shall complete all work relative to driveway and/or field entrance removal. It should be noted that residential land use adjacent to highways usually results in complaints regarding traffic noise. Traffic noise at this location could exceed Noise Standards established by the US 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. 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 10 -year, critical storm. An engineering plan review fee estimated at $150.00 will apply to this project. Contact Andrew Witter, Construction Engineer, for further information and to coordinate the engineering plan review process. Please submit the drainage Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer Courtney Bednan November 3, 1005 Page 2 of 2 calculations, grading and erosion control plans and the applicable engineering plan review fee to Mr. Witter for his review and approval. If any work is to be completed within the county right of way, a permit is required and must be obtained prior to the commencement of any construction (permit for work in right of way = $110.00). Please contact Terri Klein, Permit Technician, for further information regarding the permit process. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

PRELIMINARY PLAT Mr. Haas explained the Park Commission has already reviewed the sketch plan and did recommend cash in lieu of land, as there will most likely be a park in the adjacent plat of Woodland Crossing. Commissioner Blackstad asked if the existing home would be staying. Mr. Haas stated that it will stay for now but would eventually be split into 4 or 5 lots at which time we will collect additional park dedication funds. Commissioner Walton stated that he would like assurance that these additional park dedication funds will not be missed when they develop in the future. Mr. Haas confirmed that the City will collect park dedications funds when additional platting is done on Lot 1.

CONSIDER PARK DEDICATIONREQUIREMENTS /WOODLAND CROSSING PRELIMINARYPLAT Mr. Haas explained that this item is slightly different that what was presented on June 16, 2005 as part of the review of the sketch plan. He stated that there have been slight changes made to the location of the shelter and the basketball courts. The Commission discussed possible trail connections to this park. Regular Andover Park & Recreation Commission Meeting Minutes — November 17, 2005 Page 5 Byron Westland appeared before the Commission and stated that stated that with the altered site plan they are trying to minimize the grading and save some of the trees on the site. Chair Lindahl stated that he feels the newest site plan is workable, especially if it preserves the natural setting. Commissioner Walton stated that he feels the new plan makes better use of the land. Motion by Commissioner Blackstad, seconded by Commissioner Walton, to recommend approval for the revised park for Woodland Crossing. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0- nays, 1- absent (Dudgeon) vote. There was a Consensus to recommend to the City Council that a trail access to Hanson Boulevard from the area be established. UPDATE OF AND 0VER STATION NOR TH PARK IMPR0VEMENT / FINANCE / 05-15 Mr. Haas explained that the funding information was included in the packets and encouraged the Commission to contact Jim Dickinson if they had any questions. He stated that the project should start in the spring of 2006 and should be ready to go by spring of 2007. Commissioner Walton suggested checking into possible funding from the Minnesota Twins Community Fund for this project. Mr. Haas stated that he will check into this possibility. UPDATE OF DEDICATION /TOMANDERSON Mr. Haas explained that this item is in regard to having a dedication by planting a tree for Tom Anderson who recently passed away. He noted that Tom Anderson served on the Park Commission for a number of years. Commissioner Blackstad asked what type of placard or acknowledgment will be there. Mr. Haas stated that he will check to see what has been done in the past. No action required.

Mr. Bednarz explained the Planning Commission is asked to review a sketch plan containing 22 traditional single family and 14 smaller building sites for detached single family with a larger common area maintained by an association. Mr. Bednarz discussed the staff report with the Commission. Commissioner Jasper asked if the topography did not allow for access onto Hanson Boulevard. Mr. Bednarz stated that was correct and showed the wetland on a map. Commissioner Holthus asked on the street that runs along the south, which cul -de -sac is where the street ends now. Mr. Bednarz showed on the map the cul -de -sac's in the development. Commissioner Holthus wondered why the cul -de -sac on the east would be there instead of a street that goes just to the two drives. Mr. Bednarz stated the cul -de -sac would be public and be maintained by the City. The driveways would be private and maintained by an association. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if the existing western cul -de -sac would be removed when • the new cul -de -sac was built. Mr. Bednarz stated it would. Chairperson Daninger stated the letter from Mr. Minks asks for confirmation that costs for streets would be shared by all properties that benefit. He asked if the Putnam property was involved in the sketch plan. Bednarz stated that it was not. He commented that with Linnet Street as shown, the center line would be the shared property line for Cardinal Ridge and the Putnam property. Commissioner Vatne stated it looked like the park was in the wetland area. Mr. Bednarz showed the park in relation to the wetlands on a map. Commissioner Vatne asked if in the PUD request, is it the group of units that are inside of the western edge. Mr. Bednarz showed on the map they were the eastern units the western units were typical R-4 lots. Commissioner Jasper asked when they have done some of these projects, they have tried to connect them to undeveloped land so that the road connections are available in the future, he wondered if it made sense to run Jay Street all the way to the north to the property line so that the property to the north, when it develops has an access there. Mr. Bednarz showed on the map where the wetland property is and explained that if the street were to be brought up to the property line, they may be able to see a lot split or two but keep in mind this is the MUSA boundary and that wetland consumes most of the property to the north. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — May 10, 2005 Page 14 • Motion by Jasper, seconded by Vatne, to open the public hearing at 9:21 p.m. Motion carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote. Mr. Jerry Putnam, 1869 157 Lane NW, stated he owned the property between the two proposed developments and had several concerns and questions. One concern was the value of the homes compared to the current homes in the area. The second concern was the discussion about a second access to the development and Linnet Street. Chairperson Daninger asked if Linnet Street went through, it would go through the center of a house. Mr. Bednarz stated Mr. Putnam was talking about the street farther east. Mr. Putnam stated he has not been approached to sell anything. He is aware of the road easement. He stated if they were talking about the Linnet extension that would be Mr. Allen's property which is north of his. The discussion about getting through the Hanson, they are not talking about highway construction level bridges, but they are talking about residential grade roads and it is possible to put a bridge over a portion of the wetland to gain that access to Hanson. Motion by Kirchoff, seconded by Vatne, to close the public hearing at 9:30 p.m. Motion carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote. Mr. Jesse Westlund, Woodland Development, stated to address the question about the cul -de -sac and where the existing cul -de -sac is, the reason they extended the cul -de -sac was to minimize the length of the private drives they are proposing to the units. He stated as far as the parkland goes, they attended the May 5 6h Park Commission meeting and proposed the park in the area seen to provide a buffer area between the single family homes and the detached townhomes. The Commission felt that area may not be big enough for what they would like to see as far as a park in the area. They are working with City staff to get the dimensions of playground equipment, basketball courts, etc. and put that in a more centralized area on their plat. Mr. Westlund noted the extension of Killdeer Street to the north; he thought Mr. Putnam answered that fairly well. Extending that to the north to continue does extend outside the City's MUSA line and would go through the residents' home. In regards to the connections in and out of the plat, they recognize they only have one access in and out of the plat. They have ghost platted a proposed 158 Street through Mr. Putnam's property which is a possible future connection. Mr. Westlund indicated Mr. Putnam asked the question on home values for the detached townhomes that they were proposing. These were done in the Woodland Creek Townhome Plat. The townhome main floor is 1650 square feet and if they finish the basement and add on a four season porch, they square footage would be at 3500 square feet. They use maintenance free steel siding, brick fronts, Anderson Windows, • Timberline twenty -five year warranty shingles and they have sold in Andover and Ham Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — May 10, 2005 Page 15 Lake from between $300,000 and $500,000 apiece. He indicated these will add value to the area. Mr. Westlund stated they recognize that the drainage on their property has to stay on their property. He thought this will be addressed at the preliminary plat time. Mr. Westlund explained as far as the low area Mr. Putnam was concerned about, that the proposed Killdeer Street will run through, they recognize that they have to look at the engineering aspect of that and comply with the City Ordinance for that street. He disagreed with Mr. Putnam as far as assessments go. W. Putnam stated that their street will not add value to his property. Because of this street Mr. Putnam could develop ten to twelve single family lots with the alignment of the street if he chooses to do so. Mr. Westlund stated the biggest concern is what the County has to say in regards to accessing Hanson Boulevard. He noted this has been turned into Jane Rose at the County and it is being reviewed. Their first inclination is they will not get access granted onto Hanson Boulevard due to the spacing of existing accesses and because Hanson is already overburdened with traffic. The reason they are proposing a PUD with detached townhomes is because the build -able areas, the upland areas that are set apart from the main upland area, is in the City's MUSA boundary. They have been working with Coon Creek Watershed and the Army Corp of Engineers due to the amount of wetland on the east half of that property they cannot meet the lot size requirements the City has set for the R -4 and the Coon Creek Watershed and Army Corp will not allow them to fill wetland for lots. They will allow wetland fill for streets and or private drives so this was one of the ways they could utilize their build -able land on the project without impacting a great amount of wetland. Commissioner Jasper stated the single family part is fine and he would have liked to have seen a connection to the north but he now understands why that does not make sense. The PUD part to the east he hates. First there are very small private drives that generally are not a good idea because they turn into substandard city streets. They also have the smallest lots in Andover. He thought these lots were way too substandard. He noted he would like this more if it did have a connection to Hanson Boulevard instead of the one access and it also solves the problem for the neighbor and everyone to the west having another access. He thought it was a good idea to connect this sketch plan to the Cardinal sketch plan because should the neighbor decide at some point to develop, it makes complete sense. Chairperson Daninger concurred. Commissioner Holthus stated they just had a discussion about Kensington Estates and they decided those lots were too small and these lots are smaller than Kensington Estates. She thought they needed to be consistent. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if there are build -able R-4 single family lots in the proposed PUD area. W. Bednarz stated there are not. He thought there could be with some more wetland fill but probably not as many. I* Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — May 10, 2005 Page 16 • The Commission discussed how R -4 could be put into the PUD. Commissioner Vatne thought in the table the metrics are not there and the lots are too tight in the PUD itself. Chairperson Daninger stated he was hearing from the Commission the PUD lots were too small and they needed to put a second access through. Commissioner Vatne stated the proposed 158 Street through Mr. Putnam's property is a ghost plan but does not have any impact on this sketch plan nor on the Cardinal Ridge plan other than it makes more sense to have that connection through Cardinal Ridge if Mr. Putnam develops. He indicated another concern was the lengthy cul -de -sac in this development. Chairperson Daninger stated if they suggest 158' coming all the way from Nightingale that would give them two accesses into that. Commissioner Greenwald stated he agreed with Commission Jasper regarding the Hanson connection. Motion by Jasper, Seconded by Casey to recess at 9:45 p.m. Motion carried on a 7 -ayes, • 0 -nays, 0- absent vote. The Commissioner reconvened at 9:50 p.m. Commissioner Greenwald thought the Hanson connection should be reviewed closer. He agreed with Commissioner Vatne on the lots, he thought they were way too small on the PUD side. He agreed with the typical R -4 lots. The Commission discussed the connection of 158 to Cardinal Ridge. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if there would be trouble getting 158 to connect to Nightingale. Commissioner Greenwald did not think there would be because there is one across there now. Mr. Bednarz stated technically it meets the spacing requirements the City has in their ordinance. The City Engineer has express some concern about overlapping turn lanes if they end up with turn lanes at both intersections in the future. They like to have deceleration/acceleration lanes that go several hundred feet. Commissioner Kirchoff wondered if on lots 10 -12 they could create larger lots and have fewer homes there. Mr. Westlund stated on lots 10 -12, there is a requirement as far as a setback or spacing from a wetland and they cannot meet that in those areas. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — May 10, 2005 Page 17 Commissioner Jasper asked how it can be met with a townhome if it cannot be met with a • single family home. Mr. Bednarz explained he did not want the Commission to get too wrapped up in the lot size. What the applicant has stated is very true and complicated by if they did a straight R -4 development without a PUD, they would have a sixty foot wide right of way and then from the edge of the right -of -way they need 116 '/z feet before they hit a wetland edge. He indicated single family homes would not fit. Commissioner Greenwald wondered if they have run into land they cannot develop. Commissioner Kirchoff thought this was true but some of these turn out to be really nice lots for some people. Commissioner Vatne thought it was just a little too tight with that many units on those little clusters of land that can be developed. Commissioner Vatne asked for clarification on 158 regarding lots 14 and 5 and if they should be transitioned to roadway to put a crossroad of 158 through that. Chairperson Daninger stated that was correct. Commissioner Jasper thought that was a good idea because he did not think they needed to run 158 all the way through the sketch plan. Chairperson Daninger stated he would like to see 158 run from Nightingale to Killdeer. Chairperson Daninger noted the Commission liked what they saw other than the fact that • they are not comfortable with the PUD. Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the May 17, 2005 City Council meeting. SESSION. ZONING ORDINANCE UPDATE L City Code 12 -5 -4 ii. ty Code 12 -5 -10 iii.

The Sketch plan is expanded to include all of the proposed developments in this neighborhood. Councilmember Orttel stated in looking at the southeast corner of the plat, the County did not want access to Hanson and he noticed there appears to be 100 feet of highland between the two wetland markers. Mr. Berkowitz stated there is a high area of land and the County indicated to the developer that they would not allow access in that area onto Hanson Boulevard because of spacing guidelines. Mr. Berkowitz showed on the map the proposed connections. Councilmember Trude asked how many lots will be in the area. Mr. Berkowitz stated his count was 98 units for Woodland and Cardinal Ridge, the Putnam property and Shaw's Glen. Councilmember Jacobson stated he would object to the narrow private roads. He thought the roads should be regular sized City roads. Up in the northern part of the plat he noticed a proposed park and he would like them to consider something else besides a park for the wetland. He thought there needed to be a connection onto Hanson. They need to find an alternate route because the property owner in the middle has indicated he does not want to develop at this time. He was not sure if this is the right spot for the proposed 158 Mayor Gamache asked if the private drives are there because of the wetlands. He agreed with Councilmember Jacobson. They have done this at Shadowbrook and they always seem to come back to them. Mr. Jesse Westlund stated the private drives do not exceed the minimum cul -de -sac length set by the City and this also would eliminate the amount of wetland impact that would go out to the areas of upland. They are connected by high ground and by doing a private drive they would be eliminating the amount of wetland impact they would have to get to those areas of upland. Mayor Gamache asked if it would be possible to make these full length City streets. Mr. Westlund stated it is possible but then they would have to look at the costs that would go into that. Councilmember Trude stated there is a difference between a private drive and a private street. She asked what the difference is. Mr. Westlund explained the differences between the two. Mr. Westlund wondered if the Council would entertain the idea of variances for some of these lots in order to do that. Mayor Gamache asked if the houses on the wetlands would be townhomes. Mr. Westlund indicated they would be detached townhomes. i Mr. Dickinson stated the question is if the Council would allow a PUD on this plat. Mayor Gamache thought these would be nice looking townhomes with the wetlands surrounding them. He would not have an issue moving forward with this. Regular Andover City Council Meeting . Minutes —May 17, 2005 Page 13 Councilmember Trude stated she did not mind the townhomes on the northeast area after reviewing the plans. She would want to look a little more closely at the tradeoffs. She thought it would be nice if they did not have a private drive again. Mr. Neumeister indicated the Park Commission reviewed this and wanted what is on the north side of the cul -de -sac to become park. The two lot units on the north side of the cul -de -sac will probably be lost to park. Mr. Westlund recalled it was on the south side of the private road. Mr. Neumeister stated in discussing this with Todd Haas, he indicated this needs to be moved south. Mr. Neumeister indicated the Park Commission is looking for more land than was originally proposed which was the very narrow little piece on the curve of the horseshoe shaped street. Councilmember Trude wondered what type of park the Park Commission is looking for. Mr. Neumeister indicated the Commission wants a basketball court, tot lot and picnic shelter for this park. Councilmember Jacobson thought they decided they were not going to allow any more private streets. Councilmember Orttel stated those are private drives and he thought the difference was they were only going to allow private drives, not streets. Councilmember Jacobson stated there was just a concern over the width of the streets. Councilmember Jacobson wondered about Killdeer Street because the owner does not want to develop. Mr. Berkowitz stated the way Killdeer laid out in the sketch plan, the entire street is on the parcel they are looking at developing. It butts right up to the Putnam property. On the other side, right -of -way has already been taken through that property so there is a portion of that right -of -way on the Putnam property but it already has been designated as right -of -way. Councilmember Jacobson asked if the developer is willing to put in Killdeer and everything else at his cost. Mr. Westlund stated they would be looking at doing a 429 for that project. Mr. Westlund felt they are offering a great benefit to Mr. Putnam's property because he could potentially develop ten to twelve single family lots. Councilmember Jacobson stated they have a policy where they do not force anybody to develop if they do not want to. Mr. Byron Westlund stated all ofthe developers are looking at a 429 process possibly in the entire area. Councilmember Knight stated he could not recall where they ever assessed people who did not want to develop. Councilmember Jacobson stated this would be a huge 429 assessment for this owner and he would be forced to develop because he would not be able to afford it otherwise: Mr. Dickinson stated one other concept they have looked at on these properties is a reimbursement agreement with the developers. Mr. Westlund indicated this is another option and they have done this in other cities but for them that issue would also have to be addressed with Cardinal Ridge and the project to the south. He thought this is something that could be worked out but they are at the meeting to look for some direction on the property. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — May 17, 2005 Page 14 Mr. Westland indicated on the park location, what was agreed upon was to sit down with staff, particularly Mr. Haas, and get a diagram as to the size of those courts and what they want and then pick an area and be able to sketch those out. It was his understanding that the Park Commission is looking at a half acre to maybe a three- quarter for those things. Councihember Knight asked if Mr. Westland has considered running a street up the development north and south. Mr. Westland stated if they do they would not meet the lot depth. Mr. Neumeister explained why the north/south street would not be feasible for the development. Councilmember Trade stated they do not want to reduce the standard for townhomes so much that when the Rural Reserve is developed they see stuff that they cannot stomach. She indicated they wanted to see something nice. The Council discussed with the developer different access points into the development. Mayor Gamache stated he could live with the PUD and townhomes in this area because it is a unique property with the wetlands. He stated the developer was trying to protect the wetlands as much as possible. He thought the homes would be aimed at fifty and older housing. He did not have a real issue with this sketch plan. Councilmember Jacobson stated the only thing he would look at is the proposed crossover from Killdeer going to the west and it is shown roughly in the middle. He wondered if this could be moved further to the north and go straight west. It might make more sense to move it further west and connect it. Councilmember Trade stated she does not like private streets and if they limit the use of private drives to certain situations this would fit that situation because it is nice high ground where a person would want to have a home. She is undecided regarding single family and townhomes in the plan. She indicated she does not want to see a lot of this happen in the Rural Reserve. She thought the PUD made sense but the density seems a little high. She thought these would be really attractive homes with the wetlands. Mr. Phil Graeber, 15911 Linnet Street, stated his property abuts this plat to the north. They are R -1 and this will be R -4 so they will be looking at the backyards of these lots. He did not think this made sense to do things in one development and not the other with only one access. Mr. Graeber indicated at the Planning Commission meeting they discussed the connections and they were not happy with them. S Councilmember Orttel understood the MUSA line ends at the northern edge of this property. Mr. Berkowitz stated that is correct. This is the remaining sewer from Nightingale Street.
