APPROVAL OFAIVWTES.
January 10, 2006
Commissioner Kirchoff stated on page 12, it indicated the motion carried on a 3 -ayes, 3-
nays vote. It should have indicated that the motion failed.

PUBLIC HEARING: LOT SPLIT (06 -02) TO CREATE TWO COMERCIAL LOTS
FR OM PROPERTYLOCA TED AT 3480 BUNKER LAKE BOULEVARD NW.
Mr. Bednarz noted the proposed split would create an additional commercial lot m the
Neighborhood Business Zoning District -
Mr. Bednarz reviewed the staff report with the Commission.
• Commissioner Kirchoff wondered the variances were favored and the lot split was okay,
when it comes to developing the property, will there have to be additional variances at
Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes —January 24, 2006
Page 2
that time or will the variances that the developer is asking for today be enough. Mr. •
Bednarz stated a site plan is still being developed and it is too early to answer the
question at this time.
Commissioner Walton arrived at 7:05 p.m.
Commissioner Greenwald stated if the existing two story brick building was damaged
more than fifty percent and they needed to rebuild in the future, would they be able to.
Mr. Bednarz stated they would not and that was the reason they were putting in the
variances.
The Commission discussed with staff the reasons the variances were needed.
Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Casey, to open the public hearing at 7:09 p.m.
Motion carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote.
No one wished to address the Commission.
Motion by Casey, seconded by Greenwald, to close the public hearing at 7:10 p.m.
Motion carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote.
Ms. Joy Boebland, 17721 Germanium Street, Ramsey, applicant, reviewed the history of
the building with the Commission. She stated that if the variance is not granted, it will
leave both parcels of land unusable.
Commissioner King wanted to make sure that if something does happen to this building
in the future, the owner would be able to rebuild and he did not want to put anymore
restrictions on this then there already were.
Chairperson Daninger stated there seemed to be an agreement between the property
owner and the church regarding parking and should they be concerned about the parking
if they grant the variance. Mr. Bednarz stated there was an agreement with the City
regarding parking and the ordinance does allow shared or off site parking.
Commissioner Greenwood wondered what type of business could potentially go in this
neighborhood. Mr. Bednarz stated the neighborhood business district allows a general
array of retail along with office and other types of commercial business. A gas station is
allowed in neighborhood business with at least two acres of land and a CUP.
Commissioner Holthus wondered if any businesses have approached the applicant
regarding any type of other business that could be on this parcel. Ms. Boehland stated
over the past five years, they were approached by two banks for the land and church land
to build a large complex but the banks have not come back with a proposal. She
indicated she would like to build an office/retail space for herself and did not plan on •
selling it

Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Casey, to recommend to the City Council approval
of the proposed lot split subject to the conditions of the attached resolution. Motion
carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote.
Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the February 7, 2006
City Council meeting.
PUBLIC HEARING: CITY CODEAMENDMENT TO AMEND CITY CODE 12 -13
PERMITTED, CONDITIONAL AND PROHIBITED USES ENUMERATED TO
CONSIDER NEW AND USED AUTO SALES IN THE INDUSTRIAL ZONING
DISTRICT.
Mr. Bednarz explained the applicant is requesting that the City Code be amended to
permit both new and used vehicle sales in the Industrial Zoning District.
Mr. Bednarz discussed the staff report with the Commission.
Commissioner Kirchoff wondered as a conditional use, could they require the lot to be
paved. Mr. Bednarz stated all parking lots are required to be paved with or without a
CUP.
Commissioner Kirchoff wondered if they would be required to have plumbing and
electrical. Mr. Bednarz stated they could require a building with modern construction
and utilities if available.
Motion by Casey, seconded by Holthus, to open the public hearing at 7:27 p.m. Motion
carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote.
There was no public input_
Motion by Casey, seconded by Kirchoff, to close the public hearing at 7:28 p.m. Motion
carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote.
Mr. Joe Brabant, 16351 Gladiola Street, Andover, stated it is required by law when there
is a dealership to have plumbing and paved parking and have the building attached to the
ground.
Mr. Brabant stated in looking at the City's zoning requirements, the conditional uses
permitted to have a retail trade services and outdoor sales lot and storage are both
conditional uses in industrial and general business. He wondered why a car lot is any
different. He noted a car lot does not look any different than a Target except for the carts
is in the lot.
Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes — January 24, 2006
Page 4
Mr. Brabant stated a car is the second largest investment a person makes and there is •
nowhere in Andover where a person could purchase a car. He stated his business would
not be a place that would turn into a junk yard. He stated they have spent time and
money in the Hughes Industrial Park upgrading their building and area. He stated there
are only two areas in the City that would be allowed to have and be impacted by a used
car lot. One is the Hughes Industrial Park and the other is Andover Station.
Mr. Brabant stated he is trying to make the corner of CSAH 9 and CSAH 20 look better
because he works and lives in that area and at times it can look pretty bad but the owners
are trying to clean up the area.
Commissioner Greenwald wondered how many cars were being talked about for sale.
Mr. Brabant stated a car dealership can usually put as many cars as they can and he did
not want to have a restriction put on this. He stated the only objection at the City Council
meeting that was made was regarding all of the junk yards started out as used car lots
which was not true. They were junk yards that got used car licenses later to retail some
of their piece together vehicles. That was the only objection that was made at that time.
Commissioner Greenwald excused himself from the meeting at 8:40 p.m.
Mr. Brabant indicated he would like to have this approved and to have conditions put on
this because he did not want someone to come in after him and be allowed a used car
dealership that was junky and not maintained and then have his business look bad
because he was the one who pushed for this in the first place.
Commissioner King wondered if Mr. Brabant was also looking to have a garage to work
on vehicles. Mr. Brabant stated there is presently a repair facility on the site but it is a
renter in the building and the used car dealership would be a separate business.
Commissioner Holthus stated when she thought of a dealership she thought of a new car
dealership and when she thought of a used car dealership she thought of the businesses on
Highway 65 in Ham Lake and East Bethel. She wondered what Mr. Brabant was
envisioning for this. Mr. Brabant stated his business would be on that level. Ramsey has
some marginal car lots but they also have nice ones. He indicated his would be well
maintained and he would push to see conditions so that those types of businesses would
not happen in Andover.
Commissioner 'Walton stated they need to look beyond what Mr. Brabant's request is and
look to the future of the City. He stated they need more daytime businesses in order to
get other businesses in such as restaurants.
Chairperson Daninger stated he is not comfortable approving this because Andover is a
different city. He did not think it would fit in to that area. For fifteen to twenty cars, they
would set precedence and he did not feel comfortable approving this. The way the •
ordinance is written now, he feels comfortable with it Mr. Brabant wondered what the
•
r - - I
L

Page 5
difference was between a car dealership and a nursery and what negative impact would it
have on the City. Chairperson Daninger thought trees looked better on display than a car.
Commissioner King wondered if a CUP would be granted in this situation, would Mr.
Brabant take vehicles in on a consignment basis. Mr. Brabant stated he had no intention
of doing this.
Commissioner King asked how large the lot is. Mr. Brabant indicated it was just shy of
an acre.
Commissioner Walton wondered if there were any problems from other cities when they
brought auto sales into their communities. Mr. Bednarz stated auto sales are an
interesting thing as it relates to zoning and local communities opinion of them. Some
communities go as far as to establish a particular ordinance with performance standards.
Some get very specific and some regulate them as a CUP and leave it at that He thought
it has a lot to do with the operators and whether or not that becomes an issue for a
community.
Commissioner Walton stated be would be in favor of changing this to a conditional use
permit Commissioner Holthus indicated she would not Commissioner Casey stated he
would like to change it Chairperson Da indicated he would not Commissioner
Kirchoff stated he would because he thought their general business was rather restrictive
right now and he thought they were limiting things. Commissioner King stated he would
be in favor of a conditional use with established performance standards.
Motion by King, seconded by Casey, to
Amendment to amend City Code 12 -13
and have staff come up with guidelines.
recommend approval of the City Code
to allow the use with a Conditional Use Permit
Commissioner Kirchoff asked if this did go through and approved, prior to anyone being
granted a CUP in this area, all of the conditions they are developing with staff would be
created first Mr. Bednarz stated that could be done. There are two ways they could
approach that They could have a general set of standards that everyone who sells
automobiles have to comply with but also with the CUP, they can look at the specific
operation.
Motion carried on a 4 -ayes, 2 -nays ( Da Holthus), 1- absent (Greenwald) vote.
Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the February 7, 2006
City Council meeting.

PUBLIC HEARING: PRELIMINARY PLAT OF KENSINGTON ESTATES 7' •
ADDITION, AN URBAN RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT LOCATED IN THE
SOUTHWEST QUARTER OFSECTION 27, TOWNSHIP 32, RANGE 24, ANOKA
COUNTY, MINNESOTA.
Mr. Cross stated the Planning Commission is asked to review a preliminary plat for
Kensington Estates 7 Addition. This proposed 12 -unit subdivision sits on 6.4 acres
adjacent to the WDE landfill. The site is unique in its shape and also by the fact that
there is a 200 -foot no -build buffer around the adjacent landfill that significantly reduces
the usable amount of land for this development
Mr. Cross discussed the staff report with the Commission.
Chairperson Daninger wondered if the applicant was aware of the trail to the south. Mr.
Cross stated the Public Works Committee has a chance to review earlier in the day and
this is an element presented in the Resolution as it goes forward to the City Council with
a description in the staff report at that point
Commissioner Holthus wondered what the intent was for the area south of the
development and north of Red Oaks. Mr. Cross stated this is a City owned wetland and
drainage area and he did not know of any plans for development
Commissioner Walton wondered if the area on the far east of the development, Lot 3,
Block 1, all the way to the bottom of the plat, is drainage and mitigation. Mr. Cross
stated it will be placed in a drainage and utility easement This will restrict any possible
construction or development on the site in the future.
Staff discussed with the Commission the easement and the requirements that will be
imposed on it to preserve it
Motion by Casey, seconded by Kirchoff to open the public hearing at 8:08 p.m Motion
carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Greenwald) vote.
Ms. Bonnie Hyack, 2067 14r Avenue, stated all of the trees are gone now. She would
be concerned if more trees will be going in or will they still see the fence and dump. She
thought the trail was a great idea because a lot of people do walk back there.
Mr. Winslow Holasek, 1159 Andover Blvd, wondered where the boundaries of the WDE
site are. Mr. Cross stated the boundaries are not reflected on the map. Mr. Cross showed
some of the WDE site on the map.
Mr. Holasek thought in the future, if there are a bunch of blank parcels on the land next to
the proposed development on the map, they be identified by what they are.

Motion by Walton, seconded by Casey, to close the public hearing at 8:16 p.m. Motion
carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Greenwald) vote.
Commissioner Walton asked when the Commission looked at the additional trail to the
south earlier today, did they have a concept of the WDE or Andover Station North to see
where the trail may or may not go and because it ties into the location that was generally
circled where it might come out of the bottom cul -de -sac or would it be better to look at a
end to lot three in block one and the rest of it be similar to the corridor that runs along
Coon Creek. He wondered if it would be a better developmental use of that land and then
allow it an easier connection to the ball fields in Andover Station North.
Commissioner Kirchoff wondered what if Andover did not want to receive that property
in lieu of the cash they would receive from all of the lots in the development. He stated
this is going to be a low traffic area and maybe they could utilize the street and receive all
the funds for the park dedication which maybe a better way to use the funds.
Commissioner Walton did not think that park dedication fee was that significant on that
piece of land and his concern was if he was the landowner of lot 3 and all the trees were
removed, he would not want to mow the entire lot 3. He wondered if they needed all of
the berming and trenching and he wondered if they could utilize the plat for the City to
use.
. Chairperson Daninger stated they usually rely on the Parks Commission to review trails
in the City and guide the Council. He stated the only concern he has is there is a two
hundred foot buffer and it looked like it gets pretty close to the road and he did not know
if a trail could go through there and if a bituminous path could go in there. Mr. Bednarz
stated there are two parallel concerns being expressed. One is the condition and future
maintenance of the extremely large and odd shaped lot on the east side of the property
and the other is the trail and how that relates and plays into this. The City typically does
not require trails or sidewalks along the local streets because they are thirty -three feet
wide. The trail connection would be from the end of the street. The street would be used
as the trail and then meander into the park. Instead of a parallel cost of paving another
trail, the road would satisfy that
Mr. Bednarz stated in terms of the long term maintenance and condition of that property,
he agreed that was something that needed to be addressed further. He stated the owner at
one point discussed deeding or selling the property to the State but he did not know the
status of that.
Commissioner King wondered how the methane gases would be monitored and who
would be responsible for putting those in. Mr. Cross thought the developers and builders
would be responsible for installing them and they would be required to follow State
guidelines when doing this.
• Commissioner King wondered if this should be in the Resolution. Mr. Cross stated it
could be added if the Commission wished to add it Commissioner King thought it
Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes — January 24, 2006
Page 8
should be included. Chairperson Daninger thought it was included in Item 3 of the •
Resolution.
Mr. Jeff Wheeler, 15670 Raven Street, applicant, stated he was at the meeting to answer
questions.
Chairperson Daninger wondered what the intent of Lot 3 is going to be. Mr. Wheeler
stated they were concerned about that lot as well. He thought it would be best to include
that in a drainage and utility easement which would limit the homeowner from using that
property for certain things such as a shed. As far as what they plan on doing with that
area is nothing besides boulevard sod and other items, which they are required to do. As
far as tree removal, they will remove the trees that they believe need to be removed in
order to put in the drainage pond. The majority of that area is for a holding pond, which
is required for the development. They will not be doing any berming that they are not
required to do. He did not think they could get a trail in that area with the ponding they
are required to do.
Commissioner Walton wondered what the intended mix of the homes going in to the
development and will they look like the existing homes nearby. Mr. Wheeler stated in
his opinion, they will be an improvement of the homes next door. He indicated the
current neighborhood is a nice area and their intent is not to build lower value homes.
The homes proposed to be built will be an upgraded value or at least the same value as •
the homes that are already there.
Commissioner Walton wondered what the approximate lot cost is. Mr. Wheeler stated it
depends on what the Council would like added to it to add additional expense to it
The Commission discussed with the applicant the uses for the lower portion of Lot 3.
Mr. Bednarz wondered if the area could be deeded back to the State. Mr. Wheeler stated
at this point everything has been on hold. He stated there was mention earlier on that the
State may be interested in acquiring the land but nothing has come of it
Commissioner King stated they discussed the trail earlier and at the southern end of that
area the trail would be going across wetland. He wondered if there was some discussion
between staff and the developer how the trail would go. Chairperson Daninger stated this
was a decision made this afternoon as a recommendation by the Public Works
Commission and he did not think that made it to the applicant yet.
Chairperson Daninger wondered if it was deeded to the State, what the positive is and
negative. Mr. Bednarz stated there would be some minimal maintenance as a part of this.
Chairperson Daninger wondered if there has been any alternative discussion regarding
this. Mr. Cross stated they have discussed alternative ideas for other developments and
one solution was to plant native or low maintenance plantings to place a control on the
amount of maintenance that would be required in the future.

Mr. Wheeler stated as they look at the area, the grade drops dramatically off to the east
and there are trees there so he was not sure how much they would want to clear to
maintain that area and a lot will be left undisturbed.
The Commission discussed further the east part of Lot 3 with the staff and what needed to
be done to maintain it
Motion by Walton, seconded by Kirchoff� to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat
of Kensington Estates 7 Addition subject to the conditions of the attached resolution
with the recommendation that staff review lot three and its long term impact to the
development and community. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Greenwald)
vote.
Mr. Cross stated that this item would be before the Council at the February 7, 2006 City
Council meeting.
PUBLIC HEARING: LOT SPLIT (06-01) TO CREATE TWO COMMERCML LOTS
FROM LOT S, BLOCK 3, ANDOVER STATION NOR THLOCATED NORTHWEST
OF THE INTERSECTION OFHANSONAND BUNKER LAKE BOULEVARDS
Mr. Vrchota explained the Andover Economic Development Authority (EDA), which
owns the lot, is requesting the lot split. The lot split would allow the EDA to move
forward with a land sale to Louis Rudnicki for a proposed retail strip center on parcel A
The strip center would feature zero lot -line construction, with Mr. Rudnicki building and
owning the portion on parcel A and another party building and owning the portion on
parcel B.
Mr. Vrchota discussed the staff report with the Commission.
Commissioner Kirchoff wondered if access onto Bunker would be from the Regions
Bank location. Mr. Vrchota showed on the map where access would come from.
Chairperson Daninger stated the entire map is what they were going to be splitting but he
wondered if the entire building would be built for one potential tenant. Mr. Vrchota
stated they have a developer looking to build a portion of the building with tenants and
the other part of the lot would be sold for another person to build another building on it
Motion by Walton, seconded by Casey, to open the public hearing at 8:53 pm. Motion
carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Greenwald) vote.
Mr. Winslow Holasek stated he did not know that the County was allowing right -in
• access from Bunker Lake Boulevard. Mr. Vrchota indicated they received permission
Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes —January 24, 2006
Page 10
from the County to have a right -in only. Mr. Holasek thought this was a double standard •
that the County was allowing this in one area but not another area.
Mr. Holasek wondered if there was an agreement for someone to buy the southern lot
because if there was not he thought this would be limiting the lot in the future to a certain
use in order to match the building that will be built there and to fit on the lot.
Motion by Casey, seconded by Kirchof� to close the public hearing at 8:58 pm. Motion
carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Greenwald) vote.
Commissioner Walton wondered if there was any discussion given to selling the back
half of the lot first rather than the front part of the lot. Mr. Vrchota indicated the person
purchasing this property is interested in the back portion of the lot.
Chairperson Da stated the Commission will want to watch what gets hooked onto
the front part of the lot when that proposal comes forward.
Motion by Kirchoff, seconded by Walton, to recommend approval of the proposed lot
split. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Greenwald) vote.
Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the February 7, 2006

property line as indicated in the following section of the City Code:
12 -5 -2: SIDE AND REAR SETBACK EXCLUSIONS: In all B districts and all I districts, the
side and rear setback requirements may be excluded, provided party walls are used. Such
exclusion from side and rear setbacks shall be permitted only after issuance of a conditional use

time. The buildings would be designed and built to look identical in appearance.
A condition of approval will require the common wall of the building to be constructed with a
fire rating acceptable to the Fire Chief.

at Andover Station plat. Parcel B does not need to be rezoned.
Access
Access to Parcel A will be provided through the Parkside at Andover Station
development. Access to Parcel B will be from Jay Street.

Easements around the perimeter of the existing property were taken at the time that
Andover Station North was platted. Easements along the new property line are not
needed and are not being required.
Utilities
Utilities for these lots were installed when the improvements for Andover Station North
were constructed during the fall of 2005.
Park Dedication
Park dedication fees of $2425.00 per unit will be collected through the Parkside at
Andover Station plat for Parcel A. Park dedication fees equal to 10% of the purchase

Work Session: Automobile Sales Performance Standards
February 14, 2006
INTRODUCTION
The Planning Commission and Council have requested that performance standards be established
for automobile sales.
DISCUSSION
Staff reviewed performance standards from the communities of Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park
and Mounds View (attached). As you can see these regulations vary from fairly minimal
(Mounds View) to quite extensive (Brooklyn Center).
Staff has prepared a list of items for the Planning Commission to consider. Please be prepared
to discuss the ones that should be codified and ones that should not Please also use your own
experiences to determine if there are other items that need to be regulated.
Conditional Use Permit
As previously discussed, establishing this use as a conditional use will allow review by the
Planning Commission and Council to ensure any potential adverse impacts are mitigated.
Site plan
All non - residential development proposals are required to complete the commercial site plan
process as indicated in City Code 12 -15 -2. This ensures that the operation will follow all of the
regulations of the City Code such as signage, lighting, parking (and parking area surfacing),
landscaping, screening etc. A standard condition of any automobile sales conditional use permit
should require completion of the commercial site plan process.
State License
Any applicant should be required to demonstrate possession of a state license to ensure that they
are capable of meeting the state's requirements.
Operational Items
1. Parking for customers and parking for display of vehicles should be clearly identified on
the site plan to ensure that adequate parking will be provided for customers and vehicles
for sale.
2. Parking should be prohibited in drive lanes, on landscaped areas or generally any place
other than vehicle display parking stalls so designated on the site plan. This will ensure
traffic circulation will not be hindered and the site will not be visually cluttered.
3. All areas on which automobiles are stored or displayed shall be paved with a concrete or
bituminous surface. No display, sale or storage of automobiles or other vehicles are
permitted on landscaped areas.
4. Vehicle sales and advertising should be prohibited from operating off of the site for
which a conditional use permit is approved.
5. Automobiles that are visibly damaged should be required to be stored indoors and out of
sight.
6. The dismantling or reduction of automobiles should be prohibited.
7. Outdoor storage of inoperable vehicles or portions thereof, including tires and other
automobile parts should be prohibited.
8. Sales of used automobile parts should be.prohibited.
9. Sales, storage or repair of vehicles over 12,000 pounds can be prohibited to prevent the
automobile sales lot from becoming inundated with commercial vehicles.
10. Signage on vehicles should be limited to the required disclosure forms to prevent the
automobiles from being used as signs. Balloons, pennants and banners should also be
prohibited to prevent the look that these items create.
11. Minimum building requirements (i.e. relative to the value of the lot as in the Brooklyn
Center example, or relative to the size of the lot should be established to ensure a
reasonable investment in the site will be provided.
12. Repair of vehicles on site should be discussed and limited or perhaps even prohibited to
prevent the kind of operation that can result.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Planning Commission is asked to determine which of the items listed above should be
included in performance standards for automobile sales. The Commission is also asked to add
items if there are other areas of concern.
