VARIANCE (06-04) TO VARY FROM THE DRIVE WA YSETRACK REQUIREMENTS OF CITY CODE 12 -13 -9 TO ALL OWA SHAPED DRIVEWAY FOR PROPERTYLOCATED AT 1947161 AVENUE NW Mr. Vrchota explained the applicant is requesting a variance to City Code section 12 -13- 9, which requires that driveways be setback 5 feet from the property line to allow a shared driveway access to 161` Avenue NW (County Road 20). Mr. Vrchota discussed the staff report with the Commission. Commissioner Kirchoff asked what the five foot setback was for the driveway. Mr. Vrchota stated City Code requires that all driveways be setback five feet from any property line and since this is a shared driveway, there would be a zero setback. Chairperson Daninger asked if one of the property owners sells, what happens to the shared driveway. Mr. Vrchota stated that would be addressed by the shared access Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — June 13, 2006 Page 2 agreement and would be recorded with the properties to ensure access is permanently granted- Motion by Kircho$ seconded by Casey, to recommend to the City Council approval of the proposed variance based on items one and two, the circumstances are unique to the property that were not created by the landowner themselves and it will not be out of character with the neighborhood.

PUBLIC HEARING: RESIDENTIAL SKETCH PLAN FOR A SINGLE FAMILY URBAN RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT LOCATED SOUTH OF BUNAER LAKE BOULEVARD ON ,SEVERAL PROPERTIES BETWEEN CROOKED LAKE BOULEVARD AND GLADIOLA STREET NW. J • Mr. Bednarz explained the Planning Commission's asked to review a sketch plan containing 25 detached townhomes and four existing homes that would remain. The proposal combines several properties and the rear yards of several others into what could be considered an inf ll project. Mr. Bednarz discussed the staff report with the Commission. Chairperson Damnger asked if it was his understanding that the applicant was asked to be prepared to discuss the PUD with the Planning Commission. Mr. Bednarz indicated that was correct Commissioner Holthus asked under site design where it says "typically public streets are required to be thirty-three feet wide, however twenty -eight feet wide public streets have been approved in PUD's in the past", is a variance required for the twenty -eight foot street widths or is it automatically approved with the approval of a PUD. Mr. Bednarz stated the street width and a lot of the other standards that are being requested through the PUD would be approved as a separate list of requirements for the development It would not technically require a variance. Motion by Kirchoff, seconded by Casey, to open the public hearing at 7:18 p.m. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 2- absent (Greenwald, Walton) vote. Ms. Dawn Schnickles- Johnson, 1553 140' Lane NW, distributed a prepared statement (attached to staff report). She stated her parents live at 13 526 Crooked Lake Boulevard and her relatives and several neighbors will be impacted by this. She stated at the neighborhood meeting the neighbors expressed their concerns and objections to this Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — June 13, 2006 Page 3 project. She stated there has not been any consideration on the impact this project will have on the streets, sewer and water and the neighborhood overall. The developer chose not to appear before the citizens and chose to send an assistant to represent this development. She was sent unprepared with drawings and documents that did not reflect the actual plans for the development and homes. Ms. Schnickles- Johnson stated this proposal is asking for several variances to be made and in some instances the lots are not equal to the size of the existing homes in the neighborhood. She noted that most of the residents have lived in the neighborhood for over thirty years and take pride in the quiet peace of Andover. The thought of fifty or more vehicles spilling out onto 135 Lane NW from two narrow roads, Gladiola and Edelweiss, which would be twenty -eight feet instead of thirty -three feet wide, is simply ridiculous. She also explained that it states in the proposal that they also want to a variance to make the two cul -de -sacs eighty -two feet in diameter versus the typical ninety -three foot, this would make it more difficult for emergency vehicles to turn around in. Ms. Schnickles- Johnson stated the only way out of this development would be onto Gladiola and a right turn onto Bunker Lake Boulevard heading east or onto 135 Lane NW and north onto Crooked Lake Boulevard to make the turns to go either east or west onto Bunker Lake Boulevard. Currently there is no stop light at that intersection and currently with the traffic, it is already dangerous. It was explained at the meeting that Bunker Lake Boulevard is a County Road and therefore any traffic changes would be decided by Anoka County and not the city of Andover. She did not think this development fit into the neighborhood. Mr. Ernesto Gonzalez, 13354 Gladiola Street NW made a PowerPoint presentation explaining his reasons against the proposed development. He explained he was concerned about traffic, sewer and water, the number of proposed homes, tree loss, the of the lack of trail connections, the lack of advancement of any of the goals Comprehensive Plan. He stated that some trade offs may be acceptable, but the current plan is unreasonable. Ms. Claudia Johnston representing her mother, Ms. Germaine Hamlet at 13563 Edelweiss, stated her mother was aware that the landowners have She thought the staff property and the developer has the right to develop the property. gh report explained the reasons why the development should not be put in as presented - They hoped the Planning Commissions recommendation to Council is that they do not approve the sketch plan as presented but if the developer is serious about what he would like to do here and if he is willing to work with staff and the neighbors, if the developer could come up with a better plan, something could be put in there. • Mr. John Backan stated he has lived in Andover since 1973. He has seen Andover grow and thought the Planning Commission has done a great job but this site plan is the worst he has ever seen. He noted in the plans there are fences that are proposed to go up along Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —June 13, 2006 Page 4 Bunker Lake Boulevard and he felt if a fence needed to be put up to shield a neighborhood, there is already trouble with the project The aesthetic value of the homes will go down because of this proposed development He noted that being in the real estate business, he believed the value of the homes in the neighborhood will decrease between eight and fourteen percent if the development is approved. He concurred with what the other residents have talked about. Mr. Lester Bryant, 2830 135 Lane NW, stated this is a high school walker area so there will b more cars coming and going in the area because of this. He stated the idea of sp litt ing the building maintenance and ground maintenance is something he has not heard of and did not think something like this will work. He stated this development is way too dense and does not fit Mr. Vic Evans, 13553 Gladiola Street, asked what the sketch plan represented as far as the type of size and type of units being proposed- 0 Ms. Kim Jabloski, 2743 134' Lane NW, asked if these would be considered single family dwellings. Her concern is that there would not be any City controls over them if they were to turn into investment properties and become rental units. Chairperson Daninger stated if this would be a PUD, the City could imply standards so things like that cannot happen. Mr. Bednarz the City does not get involved in the rental of a single family home which these would be considered. Ms. Jabloski stated they are already having issues with rentals in the area and is a concern for her and others in the neighborhood. Mr. Jerry Berry, 13526 Gladiola Street, stated his concern is for safety of the children in the neighborhood and them walking to school and around the neighborhood. Ms. Dianne Dickson, 16368 Wren Street, stated she was at the meeting to speak for her father who lives at 13565 Gladiola Street She wondered if in the process will the residents have the opportunity to influence or at least observe and understand, what would be included in the PUD since the existing proposal does not give them anything to give them any sort of warmth or comfort about the measures they think should be taken into effect Chairperson Daninger stated in a Preliminary Plat of a PUD the developer will need to have all of these things spelled out and there will be another opportunity to take public hearing on that Mr. Tim Foley, 13520 Gladiola Street, stated his concern was if they do go ahead with the development there will be a certain amount of fill and this is going from a hill down to 135 Lane and the pond is at the top of the hill along Bunker Lake Boulevard. He stated he was concerned about the drainage into the lake and what sort of impact it will have on the lake. Chairperson Daninger indicated a development cannot affect the adjacent properties with things like drainage. Mr. Dan Schmitke, 13725 Edelweiss Street, asked if there is any accommodation for • noise in the PUD because there will be fewer trees. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —June 13, 2006 Page 5 Mr. R.T. McFeeters, 13558 Gladiola Street, stated he moved into the neighborhood in 1964 and this development will increase the traffic. He stated traffic is not enforced at this time. He wondered how they could increase the traffic and hope to keep a handle on it Ms. Gloria Benjamin, 13625 Gladiola Street, stated things have changed a lot through the years and they know the City will do the right thing. Ms. Josephine Larson, 13527 Heather Street, stated she has recently adopted the Crooked Lake Access Park because she walks nearly daily and picks up the area. She noted that adding more homes will add concern. She also bikes with her children to Crooked Lake Access Park and with it becoming increasingly busier, she will have concerns about allowing her children to bike there on their own. Mr. John Backen asked the developer to explain the reasons why the rear end of the homes will face Bunker Lake Boulevard and Coon Rapids. They have boats that sit behind the houses along with snowmobiles. This will be a sore site driving on those roads seeing those things parked in the backyards. Mr. Dan Schmitt asked if affecting home values of the surrounding homes was included in the proposal as well. Mr. Wayne Layman, 13732 Edelweiss, stated as developments were brought into the area, it affected the traffic and neighborhood. He thought they were being too hasty and did not think the developer was prepared with all of the requested variances. Mr. Lester Bryant stated this area is also a must walk area for Crooked Lake School and I t extends quite a way south, into Coon Rapids so there are a lot of kids walking from Gladiola. Chairperson Daninger noted that sometimes when a new development comes in, some surrounding streets get improved. Ms. Dawn Schnickles- Johnson stated at the neighborhood meeting upgrades to streets was discussed and the comment was that improvements to the roads would be done during the normal maintenance cycles and not because of the development. Motion by Kirchoff, seconded by Casey, to close the public hearing at 8:01 p.m. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 2- absent (Greenwald, Walton) vote. Mr. Todd Ganz, owner of Merritt Development, stated he was at the meeting to answer • their questions. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — June 13, 2006 Page 6 . Chairperson Daninger asked what the size of the units will be. Mr. Ganz stated at this time, during the sketch part of this, they are estimating the minimum to be 1,100 S.F. per to 1,800 S.F. foundation size. Mr. Ganz stated regarding the number of garages per units is based upon the size of the lot, the minimum will be a 440 S.F. two car garage and three car garages where space allowed. Chairperson Daninger asked Mr. Ganz what the estimated home value will be. Mr. Ganz stated based upon current pricing, minimum will be at $245,000 for the least expensive home. Chairperson Daninger stated there was a concern with noise and he wondered what the developer will do regarding it Mr. Ganz stated he planned to save as many trees as possible to buffer along Bunker Lake Boulevard and to buffer between the existing homes that area already there and they will be doing a tree preservation study for the development. Chairperson Daninger stated there was a question regarding the direction the houses will face. W Ganz stated he was hoping to have the garages facing one another and have a shared driveway. He thought it was more appealing to have windows, stone and shake • facing the road then a garage door. Chairperson Da asked what the developer had to say about d rainag e affecting adjacent properties. Mr. Ganz stated it would not affect adjacent properties. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if there was any reference regarding a trail along Gladiola. Mr, G anz stated they have not included it but would be willing to include them in the plans for the streets. Mr. Ganz stated regarding rentals, in the developments they have done, he has not heard of any rentals or leases taming up because of the price point. Mr. Ganz explained what the homeowners association would be responsible for in the development Commissioner King asked if there would be any open spaces in the development Mr. Ganz stated they did not have any open spaces designed into the project right now. He noted they could add some to make the development more appealing. Commissioner Kirchoff stated he has not seen any real improvements. He asked Mr. Ganz what the improvements would be for a PUD. Mr. Ganz stated the 2,500 S.F. of living space is an improvement. Having the structure maintained on a regular basis would provide an appealing neighborhood, enhancing the landscaping, tree buffers, six foot evergreen trees, fencing to buffer and the open space he in the back of some of the • deep lots would be improvements. He also would like to connect trails, install sidewalks and Eidelweiss would probably be improved which would be a benefit to the City. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — June 13, 2006 • Page 7 Commissioner King stated there will be a number of trees removed and he wondered if trees will be moved or replaced. Mr. Ganz stated they plan to plant both evergreen and deciduous trees. Commissioner Kirchoff thought the development could lose a few homes and make it more spacious. Mr. Ganz stated he would not be opposed to that. Chairperson Daninger indicated he was in favor of a well designed PUD. He thought the applicant should work with staff and address the concerns of the neighborhood and reduce the number of units. He also stated that all of the improvements need to be shown on the plans. The Commission agreed.. Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the June 20, 2006 City Council meeting. PUBLIC HEARING: RESIDENTIAL SKETCHPLAN FOR A SINGLE FAMILY RURAL RESIDENTTAL DEVELOPMENT LOCATED AT 17404 WARD LAKE DRIVE • Mr. Bednarz stated the Planning Commission is asked to review a sketch plan containing five rural lots. Mr. Bednarz discussed the staff report with the Commission. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if the second access was the reasonable spot for it to go. Mr. Bednarz stated they look at topography and look at where the road can physically be built. It does need to go to the north and there are several options that would depend on the development plans of the property owners. Commissioner King stated the road going to the north shows a cul-de -sac in the north going south, he knew the area was all undeveloped at this time and is a high area. He wondered if the property owners were contacted and have they seen it. Mr. Bednarz stated the typical notification was provided but there has not been a lot of interest in the sketch plan at this tune. He has not been contacted by anyone in the neighborhood regarding this development. Commissioner Holthus asked if the gravel portion of Ward Lake Drive would be paved and if other residents not in the development would be assessed for road improvements. Mr. Bednarz explained that the development would be asked to pay a proportionate share of the road improvements and that property owners outside of the development are • typically not assessed for road improvements until the time that they develop. The Council will need to determine at what time the road will be paved. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —.Tune 13, 2006 Page 8 . Motion by Casey, seconded by Kirchofl to open the public hearing at 8:37 p.m. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 2- absent (Greenwald, Walton) vote. Ms. Lilly Grey, 17447 Hanson Boulevard, stated she walks everyday along Ward Lake Drive and she noticed the proposed change sign. She wanted to have the Commission understand that this is a rural area and if they put in road lights, that they shine down instead of up into the sky. She thought the gravel road needed to be paved because cars drive through there very fast. Motion by King, seconded by Casey, to close the public hearing at 8:41 p.m. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 2- absent (Greenwald, Walton) vote. Ms. Kathy O'Connell, MFRA, representing Select Homes, made a presentation to the Commission regarding the proposed development Commissioner Holthus stated one of the requirements they would have to do is to demonstrate the buildability of each lot She wondered if this was a major concern. Ms. O'Connell did not think it was a concern. Commissioner King stated he lives in that area and there are many trees in the area_ He wondered if they planned on keeping a lot of the trees. Ms. O'Connell stated that is one • of the main considerations for where the road and cul-de -sac are located. She noted they had noticed on the knoll there were a couple of beautiful Oak trees so they adjusted the street and will further refine it when they get the final topography and locate key trees. Commissioner King wondered if the street will be thirty -three feet wide. Ms. O'Connell stated they will put in whatever road width that the city requires but would prefer to reduce the street width because that much paving is simply not needed. Chairperson Daninger thanked Ms. O'Connell for explaining the development to the Commission. Chairperson Daninger indicated the development looked good and should be pursued. The Commission agreed. Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the June 20, 2006 City Council meeting. OTSER B USEVESS Mr. Bednarz updated the Commission on previously reviewed items. Commissioner Kirchoff noted he picked up an architecture monthly magazine and the Community Center was in it and apparently they have won an award and thought it was • great Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —June 13, 2006 Page 9 Commissioner Casey stated this Thursday there will be an open house provided by the Andover EDA from 5:00 to 7:00 to review the Andover North project general business area. The public is welcome to come. ADJOURNMENT. Motion by Casey, seconded by Holthus, to adjourn the meeting at 8:50 p.m. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 2- absent (Greenwald, Walton) vote.

C� • �- -,�- LNDOVE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING - JULY 11, 2006 L� n U The Regular Bi- Monthly Meeting of the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission was called to order by Chairperson Daninger on July 11, 2006, 7:00 p.m., at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota. Commissioners present: Chairperson Daninger, Commissioners Tim Kirchof� Rex Greenwald (arrived at 7:06 p.m.), Devon Walton (arrived at 7:02 p.m.) and Michael King. Commissioners absent: Commissioners Michael Casey and Valerie Holthus Also present: Associate Planner, Andy Cross Associate Planner, Chris Vrchota Others DISCUSS MPCA LAND USE PLAN FOR WDE LANDFILL/PRESENTATION BY MPCA STAFF The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has prepared a land use plan for the closed landfill commonly referred to as the WDE site. Commissioner Walton arrived at 7:02 p.m. Chairperson Daninger wondered if this item was initiated by the City or by the MPCA. Mr. Vrchota stated it was initiated by the MPCA. . Ms. Jean Hanson, Project Manager for the Waste Disposal Engineering Landfill made a presentation to the Commission. She stated this is a requirement by the Minnesota Landfill Clean Up Act. Commissioner Greenwald arrived at 7:06 p.m. Commissioner Kirchoff thought it made a lot of sense to make this a new zoning classification. He looked at figure five in the report which shows a parcel map and a couple of lines in it and he wondered if he lived within the boundaries on the map, is there need for concern. Ms. Hanson stated the waste is located within the WDE site presently. The dotted areas are the two hundred foot boundary and a five hundred foot Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — July 11, 2006 Page 2 • boundary zone they have identified around the landfill which they do not want development to occur. Commissioner Kirchoff stated it appeared they already have some development. Ms. Hanson stated they do within the five hundred but not within the two hundred. She stated in 1998 they installed the active gas system which is much more controlled remediation for the gas itself. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if it would be her recommendation that anything within that five hundred foot boundary should not ever be developed. He stated in the report it indicates any wells would be ok but they would not recommend any new wells being put in. Ms. Hanson stated that was correct. Ms. Hanson stated the zoning on this will be only for the landfill boundary that does not include the two hundred or five hundred foot boundaries. These will not be included in the request for restricting the closed landfill. Mr. Peter Tiffany stated this site has a lot of history. One of the benefits of closed landfill program was it got EPA out of the way. Part of the agreements that occurred when EPA did have control of this site with the members of the RP Group did place restrictions of these two hundred and five hundred foot boundaries and they are bound • because of these agreements that occurred back in the 80's when US EPA was involved. He stated the main concern is the two hundred foot boundary and that is more of a rule of thumb than anything but is a good safety setback for gas. Mr. Tiffany stated the five hundred foot boundary is more related to ground water issues and within this property, there are very few people that have private wells. Commissioner Greenwald wondered if there are any restrictions on power lines. Mr. Tiffany did not think power lines would be a problem. Commissioner King wondered how close the development at Andover Station North will get to the landfill. Mr. Vrchota stated the ball fields start at the end of the two hundred foot boundary and he did not think any of the townhome units are within the five hundred foot boundary. Commissioner King asked if the development is in the five hundred foot boundary will they need to require monitors for the methane gas. Mr. Vrchota stated this development has already been approved and the concerns would have been reviewed and addressed by the MPCA. Commissioner Walton wondered what they do in terms of notifying people who buy lots in the developments that are in the five hundred foot boundary. What kind of requirement will they have to notify people they are in the five hundred foot boundary. • Ms. Hanson stated they did review the development and the development is well outside Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —July 11, 2006 • Page 3 the five hundred foot boundary. She stated they do not require it, part of the land use plan development is local unit of government is required to notify local residents. Commissioner Walton wondered if there was anything that would appear on title. He stated on the east side, are there any sand points that would exist and do they monitor sand points. Mr. Vrchota did not believe there was any permitting process for those so they probably would not have any record of installation. He did not think they were permitted. Ms. Hanson stated the MPCA does monitor any sand points around the landfill and they have for years. She stated she was not aware of any sand points along the east side but there are some along the north side, north of Coon Creek and also on the west side. She thought there were eight to ten sand points that monitor at least once a year. Commissioner King stated there was some mention of seepage along the upper sand level on the north end where Coon Creek runs through. He wondered if that was being monitored. Ms. Hanson indicated it was being monitored and this past year they put in an additional extraction well which is south of Coon Creek but in the area where the breach has occurred and all new extraction wells have been installed. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if the extraction wells are then put into the waste sewer. • Where does the fluid go when it is extracted. Mr. Tiffany stated each extraction well is monitored for water quality and if it meets the HRL (Health Risk Limit) set by the MN State Department of Health, then the water is diverted into a seepage base and then seeps back into the ground and more than likely ends up in Coon Creek. If the water quality of the extraction well is out of compliance with the HRL's, it then goes to a lined treatment basin on site where the VOC's will evaporate and the rest of the water is discharged into the sanitary sewer that is in Crosstown Boulevard. The Commission indicated they were fine with the presentation and what was discussed. APPROVAL OFAITWIES. June 13, 2006 There was not a quorum available to approve the minutes because some of the Commissioners at the meeting could not vote on them. PUBLICHEAR£NG: PRELIMINARYPLAT OFANDOVER MARKETPLACE EAST 2' ADDITION TO CREATE TWO COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES FROM OUTLOT C OFANDOVER K4RKF TPLACE EAST LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF STATION PARKWAYAND QUINN STREET NW. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — July 11, 2006 Page 4 Mr. Vrchota noted Northgate Liquor intends to move to a new building on proposed Lot 1. Proposed Lot 2 will continue to be marketed as a pad site for commercial uses allowed by the Andover Station Design Guidelines. Mr. Vrchota added two conditions to the resolution. The first one was "The Preliminary Plat shall address a ll comments from the Engineering Department and Community Development Department before grading may commence." He noted staff wanted to expand upon condition five "modifications to the Association documents as needed shall be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney." Commissioner Greenwald stated there is obviously some kind of an agreement in the owner's association agreement with other businesses in that area. Mr. Vrchota stated there is an owners association for all of Andover Station. Commissioner Greenwald asked if the other agreements indicated review and approval by the City Attorney or were they going above and beyond what was required for the existing people. Chair Da thought that was because of the sewer. • Commissioner Greenwald asked if they should add that this was specifically related to sewer. Chair Daninger thought it was specific to this resolution. W. Vrchota indicated the resolution only affected this plat and would only affect this property. • Mr. Vrchota noted the association documents will have to stipulate that the developer is responsible for moving the sewer line and maintaining it because it is a private sewer line. Commissioner Greenwald wondered if there was something unique in this development agreement that is different than the other development agreements they have done in the Station. Mr. Vrchota stated there was not Commissioner Kirchoff asked how the size of the new building compares to the size of the existing building. Commissioner Walton asked on the south west comer and egress out of that comer, do they know if this is big enough for larger delivery and maintenance vehicles. Mr. Vrchota stated this would have been reviewed by the Engineering Department and met City standards. Chair Daninger stated on the southeast comer it is full access. Mr. Vrchota indicated that was correct. Motion by Walton, seconded by Kirchoff, to open the public hearing at 7:45 p.m. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 2- absent (Casey, Holthus) vote. • No one wished to address the Commission.

Mr. Joe Samuel, RLK, stated the existing store is 7,000 square feet and the proposed store is 9,100 square feet of liquor with 1,800 square feet of future use. In regards to access, the access in the southwest comer of the site has been designed as a right out only. They are comfortable with the accesses. Chairperson Daninger asked if the reason for the larger store is because of increased business or is this going to become a distribution site for the other store. Mr. Bruce Nolan, Northgate Liquors, stated it is to carry more product because it is what the consumer today requires. Commissioner Walton asked how it compares to other liquor store sizes in the City. Mr. Nolan stated he was not sure how large they were but he thought they would be in the middle for size. Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Walton, to recommend to the City Council approval of the proposed plat subject to the conditions listed in the attached resolution including • the changes in the staff report. Chairperson Daninger asked if the applicant was aware of the added conditions.

The development is located on 63.3 acres that are currently zoned R- 1. The applicant is asking that the land be rezoned to R4 to accommodate a new subdivision. Mr. Cross discussed the staff report with the Commission. Commissioner Kirchoff asked regarding lot 16 and 17, they are proposing a temporary cul-de -sac and with a temporary cul -de -sac, neither 15 nor 16 would have the necessary frontage. Mr. Cross stated that may not be entirely correct. Lots 15 and 16 on the cul -de- sac would have the required frontage. He showed on the map the frontage area Commissioner Greenwald wondered if this is four lots or two lots. Mr. Cross stated there are a number of lots being assembled for this project. • Commissioner Greenwald wondered if they could get some kind of an agreement with is Steven and Cheryl Ohnsheid. Commissioner King stated there was mention of the right turn lane going east and west and he wondered if there would be some type of divider that would not allow a left turn lane. Mr. Cross stated without more feedback he was unable to answer specific questions about the intersection in the proposal. He stated the engineers are going to work this out with the applicant and the County. The Commission discussed with staff the intersection being proposed for the plat along with traffic issues. Mr. Cross stated the resolution does include a condition that requires the developer to make all improvements as recommended by both the City Engineer staff and the experts at the Anoka County Highway Department.

Chairperson Daninger stated there were a couple of issues related to this item. They needed to make sure they were comfortable with the length of the cul -de -sac and the feeder street. He wanted to make sure what the Commission's feelings were on lots 15 and 16 and also the FEMA and the intersection. Commissioner Greenwald wondered what the potential going north was for Avocet Chairperson Daninger indicated that was also a concern of his because they usually have a ghost plat and he did not see one going to the north or to the west Mr. Cross stated the sketch plan included some ghost plating. He showed the sketch plan and explained the ghost plat. . Commissioner Greenwald stated on lots 16 and 17, he would like to make it one lot for now and when it goes through to go to two lots when there is actual road there to work with. This would leave a typical cul-de -sac condition there. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —July 11, 2006 Page 10 Commissioner Walton wondered if there was an advantage to having a cul -de -sac there instead of dead ending it especially if they make 16 and 17 one lot. Commissioner Greenwald thought he was right because a cul-de -sac looks more permanent. Commissioner Greenwald stated either way he would like to see this as one lot instead of two. Chairperson Daninger wondered why there should be a cul -de -sac and not just a street to the property line. Mr. Cross showed on the map the area in question and stated the City Code has a requirement that dead ends longer than 210 feet from the nearest intersection requires a temporary cul -de -sac. Chairperson Daninger stated the question is if this should be one or two lots because there will be a temporary cul -de -sac either way. r� LJ Mr. Larry Emmerich, 1341 161 ", stated one of the things not noticed in here is that this is a two phased project They are developing fifteen lots, fourteen buildable in the first phase and putting in the intersection with timing and all of the issues with that One of the concerns with combining the lots is this will financially hurt him and he will not be able to sell lot sixteen if combined. He would have to hold onto an acre lot that has a lot • of value to pay for the cost of this. He stated it can be deeded as non - buildable and whether he gets a variance now or later is not an issue. The issue is that by comb'ning them he cannot sell them until the road is eventually finished and that will hurt him going into phase 2. Chairperson Daninger asked other than cost, what is the reason for a variance. Mr. Emmerich stated his other issue would be if he came in a year or two from now when the Olmsheid's developed, he would still ask for the same variance because they are doing the same thing now that they would be doing then. Commissioner Walton wondered why they would have to grant a variance at that time because then the lot will have full street frontage and the Olmsheid's Development would be required to allow that frontage to exist. Mr. Emerich stated they will need the variance because they are platting them together as one lot and they will need a variance to split the lot Commissioner Walton asked if 16 and 17 were combined, what was the reasoning they could not sell them together as an acreage wooded lot in Andover. Mr. Emerich stated that would be a monetary issue. Mr. Cross stated if lots 16 and 17 were combined now and split later there would not be a variance needed then, only a lot split. 0 Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —July 11, 2006 • Page 11 Commissioner Kirchoff stated if they are looking at a variance and looking at creating two lots out of this, the one lot is not useable and cannot be built on or issued a building permit until the road goes through, so it is almost like a quasi outlot at this time. He stated it is a permanent outlot until the road goes through and he did not see a problem with this. Chairperson Da stated he was trying to look at the reason for a variance besides monetary. Commissioner Walton asked what happens if they do not grant the variance. Chairperson Daninger stated if they did not grant the variance, lots 16 and 17 will remain one lot and according Mr. Emerich, he will not be able to sell lot 16 because it is part of the other lot he cannot split. He thought this could be sold as one lot and split it later. The Commission agreed. Mr. Emmerich stated if he sold lot 16 and 17 as one lot he would practically be giving it away. Mr. Ross Able, the applicants' consultant, indicated he was at the meeting to answer questions. • The Commission discussed the issue with the FEMA flood plain. Chairperson Daninger asked if everyone was comfortable with the length of the cul -de- sac. Commissioner Greenwald stated he would be ok with that because there really is two access points and he did not think that was an issue. Commissioner Daninger asked if the Commission was comfortable with the collector street. The Commission indicated they were fine with it Commissioner Walton stated he did not see anything in the plat regarding bike trails or sidewalks. Mr. Able stated there is a bike trail proposed from Hanson Boulevard. He showed on the map where the trail will be. Chairperson Daninger stated trees are valuable and he asked if the applicant was comfortable with marking the trees to save and to save as many trees as possible. Mr. Able stated they have made a valiant effort to save as many trees as possible. He showed on the plat the different groups of trees they will be trying to save. Chairperson Daninger stated he was always conservative in the variances. Other than monetary, he would like to see the lots remain as one. He could be easily persuaded but he is going to go the conservative route because he cannot quite see other than monetary. • Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —July 11, 2006 Page 12 • Commissioner Walton stated he would like to see one lot. He thought there might be some value to that lot in its size, in its entirety as one lot. Esthetically splitting it does not appeal to him at all. Commissioner Kirchoff stated it is more of a temporary one and he did not see an impact either way and nothing will be built on that lot until a road goes through. He stated he was comfortable with this because it was a temporary variance and not a permanent one. He stated he would like to see lot 16 developed so there would not be a bigger pile of weeds next to the cul-de -sac. Commissioner Greenwald stated there are a couple of other conditions to a variance besides a hardship. He was agreeing with Commissioner Kirchoff in that there is some practicality here. If they do the variance for two, it will be roughed in for two. He asked if this was in the MUSA boundary. It was indicated it was. He stated this would be a reason to do the variance now so they are prepared because they know it will be done eventually. Chairperson Daninger asked if they make it one lot, will 17 not be stubbed for sewer. The applicant indicated it would not Commissioner Greenwald stated because of other conditions involved besides a hardship, he thought they should grant the variance to split it now but make sure the applicant • knows they cannot develop lot 17 right now. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if they could create a lot that did not have access. Mr. Cross stated that lot would not meet their buildability requirements and would not be a buildable lot. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if they could split off a lot that did not have road access. Mr. Cross stated the lot could be platted with the variance, but it could not be built on. Commissioner Walton wondered how they would stub the lot if they didn't have access to the front of the lot. Mr. Cross stated that without the variance, they cannot create a lot that is not buildable. Lots do need to meet buildability requirements. Commissioner King stated a couple of weeks ago they agreed to a trail/road combination for a number of homes that it was a twenty foot wide variance and that did not meet minim requirements of road frontage either. Commissioner Greenwald stated that was a PUD and they are allowed more flexibility. Commissioner King asked if a small private road could be made for lot 17 to exist. He stated he was fine with granting the variance. Chairperson Daninger wondered how the Commission felt regarding the intersection. • Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — July 11, 2006 • Page 13 Commissioner Greenwald did not think it was pertinent to the discussion of the approval of the Preliminary Plat but he thought they needed to rely on the expertise of the Highway Department and transportation department and only concern themselves with the zoning part right now.

DATE: July 25, 2006 INTRODUCTION The Planning Commission is asked to review Nextel / Sprint's request for the placement of additional wireless communication equipment in the water tower by City Hall. Nextel has had equipment on our water tower since 1996. Since then there have been two changes in equipment and one formal lease amendment in 1997 which placed nine antennas on the tower instead of the 0 original three. Nextel has now applied to increase both their amount of storage space in the base of the water tower, as well as the number of antennas on the railing on top of the water tower. DISCUSSION Current Conditions: Nextel / Sprint currently has nine antennas on our water tower. In the base of the tower they have 141 square feet of leased space. Their equipment occupies slightly more space than that, but the cabinets were placed on an elevated platform, which allowed Public Works to utilize the space underneath the cabinets for storage (see attachments). The current lease price for 2006 is $17,933.73. The original rent in 1996 was $12,600 with an annual increase of "the greater of 4% or the CPI (Consumer Price Index)." Proposed Conditions: Nextel is proposing three additional antennas on the top of the water tower and the use of the empty space beneath their existing equipment. These additions will bring the total number of Nextel antennas on the tower to 12 and consume an additional 140 square feet of floor storage space in the base of the water tower. The applicant has submitted a structural analysis to verify that the railing on the water tower can safely accommodate the three additional antennas. The analysis was reviewed by a structural engineer at TKDA, the engineering firm with whom the City contracts, and showed that the tower can handle the new additions safely. The lease agreement with Nextel / Sprint will be revised with an amendment to reflect the new equipment. The rent will increase by $4,000 to pay for the additional antennas and storage space. The Public Works Department manages the water tower and has given this proposal a thorough review. They support the approval of Nextel's proposed additions. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends a favorable recommendation for this Conditional Use Permit Amendment. ACTION REQUESTED The Planning Commission is asked to recommend approval of this Conditional Use Permit Amendment request.

DATE: July 25, 2006 INTRODUCTION The Planning Commission is asked to review a sketch plan containing two twin -home buildings on approximately .624 acres. The property is located on the west side of the intersection of Hummingbird Street and Andover Boulevard, at the north end of Nature's Run. The developer is trying to get feedback on whether or not twin -homes will be permitted on the site before moving forward with the cost and effort of preparing a more detailed plat submittal. DISCUSSION • Conformance with Local Plans In order for twin -homes to be placed on the property, a comprehensive plan amendment changing the land use designation from Urban Residential Low Density (URL) to Urban Residential Medium Density (URM) would be required. In addition to the Comprehensive Plan amendment, the property would need to be rezoned from R -3: Single Family Suburban Residential to M -1: Multiple Dwelling Medium Density. Finally, this project would have to be done as a Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.), in conformance with the Zoning Code. Access As proposed, all 4 units would have separate driveways onto Hummingbird Street. The driveway for the northern-most unit does not meet the required 60 -foot setback from the intersection. If zero setback driveways were to be used on this project, as was done in Nature's Run, a typical 22 -foot driveway would require an 18 '/2 foot variance to the 60 -foot setback for this lot. Wetlands The plan presented to the City does not show any wetland areas on the property. If more detailed examination of the property reveals the presence of wetlands, they will need to be delineated for the preliminary plat and all City requirements will need to be met. Lots As previously mentioned, the proposed project would have to be done as a P.U.D. The table below illustrates the standards being proposed for this project, compared to those used at Nature's Run and the City Code requirements. E It is up to the developer to demonstrate what benefits will be provided to the City to warrant approval of a P.U.D. 0 Utilities Four sewer and water stubs were provided to the property when Nature's Run was developed, anticipating that this type of development may occur on the property. These stubs were paid for by the developer of Nature's Run, not the property owner or the developer for this project. The presence of these services does not grant or guarantee approval for this type of development to occur. Easements Ten -foot wide drainage and utility easements will be required along the front and rear lot lines. Five - foot wide drainage and utility easements will be required along the side lot lines. Park Dedication The Park Commission will review the sketch plan at their August 3'" meeting. Coordination with other Agencies • The developers and/or owners are responsible for obtaining all necessary permits (Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, Coon Creek Watershed District, Anoka County Highway Department, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, LGU, and any other agency that may have an interest in the site).

As the only immediate neighbor to the aforementioned property, we want to express our opposition to any reclassification of the property. This property is zoned low density single family suburban and should remain this way to be consistent with the rest of Andover Blvd. to our west. The properties directly to the north are zoned single family. This lot is not large enough to allow for anything more than one single family home. The sketch plan shows two twin -homes on approximately 0.6 acre. This constitutes a density of about eight dwellings per acre. This is extremely • high density by any standards. The decks for the twin -homes will face my driveway and front entry. We are not opposed to someone building according to the zoning in place for this property as it stands now. We feel the city should not be considering any PUD's or medium to high density housing on property as small as this. A survey of the property lines should be done before any action by the commission as the property lines are in dispute. No action should happen until this is resolved. Please inform us as to when the survey is to take place. If we feel that there are discrepancies in the survey we should be allowed sufficient time to oppose the staking before any action on the part of the city. This proposal should be tabled until this is clear.

MN. US TO: Planning and Zoning Commissioners FROM: Courtney Bednarz, City Plann# SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING Conditional Use Permit (06 -05) for automobile sales located at 16191 Round Lake Boulevard. DATE: July 25, 2006 INTRODUCTION This is the first application under the recently established ordinance for vehicle sales. A conditional use permit and automobile sales business license are needed for this activity to occur. DISCUSSION Project Summary The site is currently operated as an automobile repair facility. The addition of automobile sales to the site would entail use of the parking area for display of vehicles and a sales office within the existing building. The applicant proposes to construct curb and gutter and expand the parking area as shown on the attached plans. The increased impervious surface requires the additional drainage areas shown on both sides of the entrance to the site. No changes to the • existing building other than the incidental moving of office equipment have been discussed. Two letters from the applicant are attached.

The applicant is also requesting a variance to reduce parking stall width from 10 feet to nine feet.

City Code 12 -13 -5 Screening Requirements Parking areas are required to be screened from public right -of -way to a minim height of three feet. This will apply to the east edge of the parking area adjacent to Round Lake Boulevard. Staff recommends that a portion of the required shrubs be provided in this area of the site to help meet both of the requirements. . Ordinance 324 In addition to the items listed above the recently adopted Ordinance 324 provides specific regulations for vehicle sales businesses. This ordinance is attached for review. The following items should be noted: 1. The city has the ability to attach reasonable conditions to mitigate foreseeable adverse impacts. 2. The Council will need to approve a business license in addition to the conditional use permit for this use. 3. The estimated value of improvements to the property (as determined by Anoka County) is required to exceed the value of the property. The proposed site of the proposed used car sales operation near the Hugh's Industrial Park currently has a land value of $63,000 and improvements valued at $87,100 (or 1.38 times the land value). ACTION REQUESTED The Planning Commission is asked to compare the information provided by the applicant to the City Code and to make a recommendation to the City Council.
