Commissioner Casey wondered if the land is owned by the same person as the liquor
store. Mr. Vrchota stated that was correct
Commissioner Casey wondered if they could share the parking with the liquor store to
make up for the space needed. Mr. Vrchota stated they could have an agreement for that
and there is also room directly south of the store space.
Chairperson Daninger stated there is an additional light on the subject property so there
are two lights covering the parking area. Mr. Vrchota indicated that was correct
Motion by Walton, seconded by Kircho$ to open the public hearing at 8:06 p.m.

Commissioner Kirchoff stated his only concern was that the site also Temains in Anoka
because that is the one he likes to go to. He stated he was also glad to see them come to
Andover.
Commissioner Walton asked if they will have to see a landscaping plan. Mr. Vrchota
indicated they will need to submit a landscaping plan if that is one of the performance
standards the Council includes in the resolution.
Commissioner Walton stated he would like to see a little more landscaping but the
interim standards in the proposal are adequate.
Motion by Walton, seconded by Casey, to recommend to the City Council approval of
the proposed Conditional Use Permit subject to the conditions in the attached resolution,
striking Item Four. Motion carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote.

City Council meeting.
PUBLIC HEARING: PRELBMVARYPLAT OF WOODLAND HILLS, A RURAL
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT CONTAU SACREAGELOTS
Mr. Bednarz explained the Planning Co mmissi on is asked to review a plat containing five
rural lots. The Commission previously reviewed a sketch plan for this project on June
13, 2006. 0
Mr. Bednarz reviewed the case with the Commission.

Commissioner Holthus asked if the south street connection the City is asking for, will
ever connect to the existing driveway on Ward Lake Drive. Mr. Bednarz stated the
driveway can be eliminated if the street were extended to the south with both lots fronting
on the cul-de -sac. If the street is not extended to the south, they would assume that the
gravel driveway would continue to be used for the existing lot.
Commissioner Kirchoff asked if the property owner to the south needed to demonstrate
this is a buildable lot. Mr. Bednarz indicated that is staffs' recommendation.
Commissioner Kirchoff wondered if there has been any contact with that property owner
to see if they wanted to build. Mr. Bednarz stated a letter was sent by that property
owner requesting a street extension and he did speak with them about staffs'
recommendation so they are aware of it
Commissioner Kirchoff asked if the street to the north would end as a cul-de-sac and
would the developer escrow those initial costs to get the road up to the property line at
some future date. Mr. Bednarz stated the way it is structured in the resolution is they
would determine those costs and would collect that through the development contract. At
this point they are not aware of what those costs area.
• Commissioner Holthus wondered if their discussion about the south street connection is a
little premature because they do not know if those two lots are buildable or not
Commissioner Holthus wondered if page 12 was the wetland mitigation plan and if it is
could the mitigation plan be explained. Mr. Bednarz stated it was and reviewed the
mitigation plan with the Commission. He noted it was reviewed by the Lower Rum
River Watershed District and they have recommended approval with several conditions.
He stated FEMA has also approved the adjustments to the flood plain boundary.
Commissioner Walton asked if the property to the south develops buildability of the two
lots, is the extension of the road then paid for by that property owner. Mr. Bednarz stated
the way this is structured in the resolution the Woodland Hills developer would eliminate
the culde -sac, extend the street to the property and provide a temporary cul-de-sac at
their expense then sometime in the future when the lot split would occur, the property
owner to the south would remove the cul-de -sac, extend the street slightly and build a
permanent cul-de -sac.
Commissioner Walton asked if the developer will need to incur more costs because
someone wants to develop in the future. Mr. Bednarz stated that was correct He noted
that this requirement of their city code is more typically applied when they have a larger
area that can develop in the future. It is a little different than they would typically use
this requirement
Commissioner Holthus stated if the south street connection is made, the cul-de -sac is
built on the upland area so will there need to be a lot of wetland mitigation occurring in
Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes —September 11, 2007
Page 4
order to make the two lots buildable or is the floodplain further out from those two lots.
Mr. Bednarz stated they do not know for sure if they can achieve those two buildable
sites so that is why they would ask they go through and do soil tests, etc.
Commissioner Holthus wondered if there will need to be a variance for another cul -de-
sac that will be over five hundred feet. Mr. Bednarz stated they would grant one variance
for the limits of this entire cul-de -sac.
Commissioner Walton stated on the road on the end, they are asking the developer to
contribute towards the firture development of Ward Lake so the anticipation is all of this
is a paved area but the mouth of the development at Ward Lake is to remain gravel until
the future. Mr. Bednarz stated that is correct He stated it would not make sense to pave
half of the section of this street at this time.
Commissioner Kirchoff asked what the person to the south would have to do in the next
sixty days. W. Bednarz stated they would have to get an engineer out there to do some
soil borings in the drainfield and building pad locations.
•
Commissioner Kirchoff wondered if they needed to table this item for sixty days or do
they need to get a resolution in place for the clock to start ticking. Mr. Bednarz stated the
way it is structured in the resolution is that they would have sixty days from the date of
the preliminary plat approval to demonstrate they have the two buildable sites and if they
either don't do that or do not find there are two sites, they would revert to the plan as it
exists now.
Motion by Falk, seconded by Walton, to open the public hearing at 8:31 p.m. Motion
carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote.
Mr. Dave Nash, MFRA and Joel Larson, Select Companies, Inc. were at the meeting.
Mr. Nash stated the cul-de -sac to the north is talked about in the report but is mentioned
they end the street before the creek and they extended it as far north as they could until
they hit a four to one slope going down to the creek so they were not going into the creek
bed and disturbing it Based on that distance, their cul-de -sac became short enough that
they do not have to put in a cul-de -sac. He stated the Planning Commission received a
letter from Mr. Larson objecting to the street extension. A couple of other items not
discussed are when they look at extending it to the south, it cuts their lot two in half and
takes away from the area lot two. There is a loss of value on that lot going from 2.5 acres
down that their client would not want If that road did have to go through they agree with
what they have heard so far as they would like to see the property owner to the south
bearing that cost, there is no benefit to their client extending that road. He stated they
would like to see this approved as it was approved in the concept plan but if not, they
would ask that the owner to the south be asked to bear that cost.

Mr. Nash stated the owner is also opposed to the Ward Lake Assessment. He has never
heard of a project having to pay for a future road improvement. He thought they should
assess it to the current property owners that buy into this development when the road is
improved. If the Council asks for this payment, he requests the City Attorney review it
He stated the way he understands assessments is that it would be illegal to even try to
assess this property as it is right now.
The Watershed and FEMA have approved the wetland mitigation. They plan to work
with Mr. Bednarz as to whether they will have to actually do a CUP or not He stated
they are mitigating some wetland at a rate of 211 and they also as a part of FEMA, they
are impacting floodplain but they are mitigating that at a rate of 1/1 and that is taken care
of on their plan.
Commissioner Kirchoff wondered what the sixty days for the property owner to the south
does to this project, he wondered if this would require them to get back into the FEMA
process and maybe not be as lucky. Mr. Nash stated they .could not answer that because
they have not looked into the property to the south. If they were going to be impacting
floodplain, they would have to go through their own application with FEMA and it would
be separate from theirs. The sixty day delaying, they are assuming, they get approval
from the Planning Commission tonight, Council next week, they could start grading right
• after that and the goal is to at least get some grading done this year. The sixty day delay
is going to push everything to next year.
Chairperson Daninger wondered how many trees they were planning on taking out of the
area because it is a pretty heavily wooded lot. Mr. Nash stated there is a tree preservation
plan on there and they actually tried to save the trees they could. He thought it was
around fifty percent of the trees but were trying to save the significant existing trees
around the site. Mr. Bednarz stated several of the lot pads that have the CG notation on
them means they will be custom graded so the lot pad might shift if there are desirable
trees for a firture builder/homeowner.
Commissioner Falk stated on page nineteen, if the extension goes through, the secondary
septic system on block one southwest comer, what is the requirement to have that next to
the road. Is it common to have them next to the road or further off the road? Mr.
Bednarz stated it would need to be located outside of the right -of -way and outside of the
ten foot wide drainage utility easement. It would need to be shifted from where it is
shown now.
Motion by Kircho$ seconded by Casey, to close the public hearing at 8:40 p.m. Motion
carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote.
Commissioner Holthus wondered where the gravel starts on Ward Lake Road and where
• the tar ends. Mr. Bednarz showed on the location map this area.

Minutes —September 11, 2007

Commissioner Walton wondered if this is a paved road with curb and gutter or is it a flat
rural tarred road. Mr. Bednarz stated the road is crowned with a county ditch type
design. There are no curb and gutter presently.
Commissioner Walton asked how far beyond the entrance to this development would it
extend. Mr. Bednarz showed on the map where the tar ends. Commissioner Walton
thought the discussion was they did not want to pay for their half of the road development
for now because it may be developed in the future, wouldn't they see increased
desirability if they helped pay for the paving of the road from the dead end spot to the
entrance of their development. Then their development becomes that much more
desirable because everything else beyond that development is gravel but if it was paved
all the way from Hanson out to the development it would be something they would want
to work out
Chairperson Daninger stated road improvements are not just for the property but for the
surrounding area. Mr. Bednarz stated it is benefiting more than just the property but
generally when they apply the requirements it is to address the safety of the people
entering and exiting the development in this case they are not asking for turn lanes .
because it is not a busy road. Because it is a gravel road surface and because it is part of
an overall area that will develop further, staff feels they should pay a share of that overall
improvement. .
Commissioner Walton agreed and thought there was also a benefit to the people already
living on the tar road. Commissioner Kirr thought the developer would have more
for their $10,000 otherwise the money could sit there for a long time before the road is
developed in the future. Mr. Bednarz stated there is no movement afoot to pave the road.
Chairperson Daninger stated the road to the north was actually a road without an end and
not a cul-de -sac.
Commissioner Kirchoff asked if the developer needed to escrow for the undeveloped
piece so the road can be brought to it in the future. Mr. Bednarz indicated that was
correct. They would collect th amount that would be determined to bring the road to the
property line as proposed.
Chairperson Daninger stated one of the variances they are assuming they will grant is the
length of the cul-de -sac but what if they said five hundred feet only, that would change
the whole scope of this but how does that affect the neighboring property to the south if
they said they are not granting the variance, does that mean the land would be
landlocked. Mr. Bednarz stated it would. He showed where the road would end at five
hundred feet and stated it would also affect the potential for the connection to the north.
The Commission further discussed the road connections. •

Chairperson Daninger stated because the sketch plan is a high level overview, that is why
they did not see quite the details of issues they are seeing here. Mr. Bednarz stated if the
City was going to recommend that the street be connected to the south, that should have
been raised during the sketch plan but when they reviewed it at the time, there was a
driveway to the site, agricultural use, no anticipated change to that, limited amount of
high ground, from the staff level, they left it alone at that time.
Commissioner Kirchoff wondered where they are going to go with the property to the
south. This may sit for many years but it materially changes the proposal they have
before them with a couple of variances, stubbed roads, an official cul-de -sac but this is a
fairly descent development. He wondered where the people to the south are really
motivated or will they sit on it Commissioner Walton agreed and felt sixty days was too
long and thirty days was maxim after Council approves it He would like to see it
shortened to thirty days and either move forward or don't because it does impact grading
plans, the timing of the entire development so the sooner it gets approved and moves
forward, the better it is for everyone. The sooner it gets moving forward is the better for
everyone and better for total development than to approve it and make it sit for six
months or longer.
Commissioner Falk stated they did not know if the south portion is even buildable. Mr.
• Bednarz stated there is an area outside of the floodplain and that is why they are
considering the idea but they do not have the concrete information that they could say
this can be done. Commissioner Falk stated he would like to have the information if that
were the proposal, he would like to have that brought to their meeting so they would
know what they were up against, now they do not know.
Commissioner Walton asked Mr. Nash about the road development. Mr. Nash thought
that if the road were paved today, $10,000 would be worth it to give them a better
entrance but that is not what the City is asking of them. The City is asking for them to
give $10,000 and the road may be paved sometime in the firture. Their point is to not
make them pay for the improvements right now, when the road is improved and the
people living there get the value of the road improvement, assess them at the time like
they would any normal street improvement project
Commissioner Walton asked Mr. Nash, as the developer, see added value to the acreage
lots to talk with the City about bringing the paved road all the way down the development
and connect it to the currently paved road Mr. Larson agreed to what Commissioner
Walton was saying because it would bring value to his development, he would agree to
pay the money to get it paved but he does not want to wait until a future date to have it
done.
Chairperson Daninger asked if the $10,000 was for just improving the intersection. Mr.
. Bednarz indicated that was the estimated cost of curb and gutter and one half of Ward
Lake Drive adjacent to their property.

Chairperson Daninger stated he would like some more variables filled in before they
move forward with approval. He did not know if that was reasonable or prudent because
a lot of things will go away if the property owner to the south says no, then they can
redefine, because if the property can be built they would have to look at the variance to
the couple of lots plus the cost sharing. In addition, the cul-de -sac in the north,
something is different, it was a cul-de -sac and now that has changed. He cannot approve
this in his mind without more variables filled in.
Councilmember Kirchoff asked if the result to the south clear up a lot of this.
Chairperson Daninger felt in order to approve this, there are too many what if's for him
to b comfortable with approving this. If they knew a definite that there are two
buildable properties, then he could take and look at the variance of the lots. He could feel
more comfortable for the assessments on the road improvements. He is willing to take
one point at a time and work through that.
Motion by Walton, seconded by Casey, to table this item until the next meeting with the
caveat that they ask the homeowner to the south for soil borings to bring back to the next
meeting and get an answer to whether or not they are going to extend and also ask the
developer to come back with modified sketch plans, both A and B with anticipation that it
is going forward to the south and another not going forward to the south with the
corrections discussed about the dead end road and cul-de -sac. •
Commissioner Kirchoff asked if the Commission and Council could put the homeowner
to the south on notice to come up with an answer. Mr. Bedn= stated they could table
the item for more information but there is another item at play and that is the length of
time it has taken to get through the watershed and FEMA and to get to this point. The
developer has been gracious enough to extend the review period and that extension goes
through September 30, 2007. The schedule they are on is to go to the Council next
Tuesday and have a preliminary plat approved or denied within the time frame so if they
do table it that would push the Council review out to October and they would either need
the developer to consent to extend their review period into October or they would need to
act in approval or denial at the Council next Tuesday.
Chairperson Daninger sensed they should discuss this further before they make a motion.
The Commissioner discussed the reasons for tabling, approving or denying this item.
Chairperson Daninger asked for a vote from the Commission.
Motion failed on a 2 -ayes, 5 -nays (Cleveland, Falk, Kircho$ Daninger, Holthus), 0-
absent vote.
Commissioner Holthus asked if they are supposed to come up with a cost sharing plan •
tonight and are they supposed to make a recommendation on a cul-de -sac over five

• Page 9
hundred feet. Chairperson Daninger stated they can discuss a cost sharing plan and they
are supposed to make a recommendation regarding the five hundred feet.
Commissioner Holthus stated the developer should pay their proportionate share, five lots
worth, of the paving of Ward Lake Road and she thought if the south lots are buildable,
the developer should pay their proportionate share or 5/7 of the south street connection.
She would also agree with the variance for the over five hundred foot cul-de -sac.
Chairperson Daninger thought the cul-de -sac to the north should have the preliminary
plat changed to reflect that it is not a cul-de -sac. He wondered what they should have
done with the $10,000. Commissioner Holthus stated she would like to see that the
asphalt continue on from where the asphalt ends on Ward Lake Road to the development
and this is an issue that outreaches this agenda item. If that asphalt is continued, then
other residents would have to pay their share as well.
Chairperson Daninger asked if the cul-de -sac and the two lots are buildable would
Commissioner Holthus be acceptance to the variance of the two lots of the five, meaning
they would be something smaller than 2.5 acres. Commissioner Holthus stated she would
agree with that variance. Chairperson Daninger stated he could concur with that to move
it forward.
• Commissioner Holthus thought it would be less expensive if the road was paved now up
to the development rather than paving the entire Ward Lake Road section because it is a
shorter distance and more individuals to share the cost of it But in the future, it Ward
Lake Road was going to be paved the rest of the way, there would only be a few residents
to share in the cost of that pavement unless there were further developments built in
there.
Chairperson Daninger stated if the two lots were not buildable to the south, they would
end the cul-de -sac and there would not be any cost sharing and no variance to the lots and
the variance would be to the length of the cul-de -sac and the change to the north, instead
of a cul-de -sac it would be a shorter road.
Commissioner Holthus stated they are suggesting that the owner of the two south lots
provide buildability evidence within sixty days and she thought that was too long.
Commissioner Walton thought two weeks was long enough.
Motion by Holthus, seconded by Falk, to recommend the variance of the cul-de -sac of
over five hundred feet, if the south lots are buildable, the developer should pay their
proportionate share of the south street connection and the developer should also pay their
proportionate share of the paving of Ward Lake Road and the cul-de -sac to the north is no
longer a cul-de -sac, it is a shorter street and the section of street coming out to Ward Lake
Road would be paved and not escrowed and the owner to the south would need to provide
0 soil borings proving buildability within'ten business days.

indicated there is curb and gutter from the proposed project to the current curb and gutter
of approximately 100 feet.

Mr. Vrchota stated this item was tabled at the August 2e Planning Commission meeting
to allow for additional public input. Staff has not received any additional inquiries,
comments or information from the public since the August 2e meeting.
Mr. Vrchota discussed the staff report with the Commission.

Ms. Sylvia Munson, 2705 134 Lane NW, wondered what the next step will be for this
item. She wondered what they will be basing their decision on, will it be the problems
she is having or do other cities have the same problems. Chairperson Daninger explained
the process going forward.
Motion by Kirchof� seconded by Casey, to close the public hearing at 9:33 p.m. Motion
carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote.
Commissioner Walton stated when he reads through the other cities details and what they
already have written; electronic fencing is not mentioned in other cities, not mentioned in
their code, already indicates that it is not considered a reasonable restraint. It is not
mentioned or addressed however it is an assumption and the only way to clear up an
assumption is to put it in black and white so either they add a note that electronic fencing
is not considered a reasonable constraint or do not address it at all.
Commissioner Kirchoff liked what they heard before and that is if an animal is restrained,
it is restrained and if it gets away, it is not being restrained regardless of whatever
technology is being used. He thought in reading the other cities ordinances, they do not
care what you do to make sure your animal is restrained but the moment it breaks its
barrier, it is no longer restrained, it is in violation. He stated he likes that versus trying to •
regulate electronic fences. The moment it is off your property it is no longer restrained.

PUBLIC HEARING: CITY CODEAMENDMENT TO UPDATE THE
REQUIREMENTS OF CITY CODE TITLE 11 SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS
Mr. Cross explained for the last six months, City staff has been revising the Subdivision
ordinance, the section of City Code that determines the requirements and review criteria
for new subdivisions. Much of the language dates back to the original 1974 ordinance, so
staff has attempted to simplify the Subdivision Ordinance, remove outdated material, and
update it to conform to policies and regulations that are currently being used. The staff
report summarizes the issues identified as significant changes related to the Subdivision
Code update. The Planning Commission and the City Council have reviewed and
comments on the changes at two workshops.

Mr. Bednarz reviewed the amendments with the Commission.
Commissioner Cleveland asked what non - metallic metal was. Mr. Bednarz stated he did
not have an example for the Commission and they are not facing this issue in the
community. Commissioner Cleveland thought they might want to use minerals instead.
Commissioner Cleveland stated on page 25, second paragraph, last sentence should read
``...eeaed attributed to the increased size of new homes."
Commissioner Falk wondered if they should add black dirt in the section with extracting.
Mr. Bednarz stated this is not what the Met Council conceives under that type of land use
so that would not be covered under that item
Commissioner Falk wondered what Capital Improvement Plan meant. Mr. Bednarz
reviewed the Capital Improvement Plan with the Commission.
Commissioner Holthus stated on page one, chapter one, second paragraph, third line
states "The result has been consistently strong occupancy in previously existing
commercial centers like the downtown center". She thought instead of "like" it should
read "such as ". •
Commissioner Holthus asked on page S, fourth bullet down, ensure new development and
redevelopment, would it be more proper to say "ensure that new development and
redevelopment has a positive impact."
Commissioner Holthus asked on page 17, under Rural Residential, the land area
identified in four communities, Ham Lake, Andover, Inver Grove Heights and Credit
River Township", she wondered if there were only four communities developed at one
unit per two to 2.5 acres or less and why are those four communities mentioned. Mr.
Bednarz stated this is a definition of that rural residential category from the Met Council.
This is taken from their language. What they have done is applied planning area
designations and Rural Residential is one of those designations and those four
communities are the only ones they have identified as two to 2.5 acres or less without
urban infrastructure, such as sewer and water.
Commissioner Holthus stated in the next paragraph, existing land use map, at the very
end it refers to figure 2.3 and she could not find it Mr. Bednarz indicated it was a list of
the land use designations.
Commissioner Holthus stated figure 2.7, a Met Council Net Residential Density
Worksheet table, the column stated "acres of public parks and open space" it says there
are only forty acres and she wondered if that was correct. Mr. Bednarz stated what the •
graphic is showing is of the areas of the staging plan that will develop out to the year
2030, there are a number of acres divided by each of those land use categories and the
Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes — September 11, 2007
is Page 13
preliminary planning they have done for the Rural Reserve has indicated about thirty
acres of public park land within that area, additionally the ten acres of additional park
land they arrived at with a discussion with the Parks Coordinator and looking at areas that
will develop inside the MUSA over those stages.
Commissioner Holthus stated on the Waste Water and Comprehensive Sewer Plan she
was wondering on the third page, Item C, Capacity and Plans for Future System, in the
first paragraph, second line from the bottom reads "The City currently does not have
plans to extend Municipal Sewer to the area designated in the MCES system statement as
potential service', she wondered what MCES means. Mr. Bednarz stated it was
Metropolitan Council Environmental Services and would add the full language to the
acronym.
Commissioner Holthus stated in the third paragraph, second line, she wondered what
WWTP meant. Mr. Bednarz stated it was Waste Water Treatment Plan and would be
added.
Commissioner Holthus stated on the page where "D" begins, Privately Owned Treatment
Facilities, the ending of the previous paragraph refers to figure 4.5 and she wondered
what that was. Mr. Bednarz stated it was the proposed sanitary system. Commissioner
• Holthus suggested this be labeled as figure 4.5.
Chairperson Daninger thought this was a good discussion.

DATE: September 25, 2007
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING Lot Split (07 -03) to create two lots on a 14 -acre property
located at 3210 Bunker Lake Boulevard NW.
INTRODUCTION
The pastor of the Riverdale Assembly of God church has applied to split the church's lot into
two parcels. The new lot will be used by Bunker Hills Academy, which currently operates inside
the church.
• DISCUSSION
Both lots conform the City Code's requirements for the R -4 zoning district. The attached survey
illustrates the proposed lot split. Lot details are shown in the table below:
Lot Design
The church is splitting off the rear 8.5 acres of its lot, which is currently an open field. The
driveway along the west property line will be a part of this new lot, providing the required access
to a public street. The driveway helps Parcel B meet the required lot width of 80 feet at the front
yard setback.
Access
The existing church will remain on Parcel A, but the driveway that services the church will be on
Parcel B. The applicants will be required to provide a cross - access agreement so the church has
permission to use the driveway in perpetuity.

permission to use the driveway in perpetuity.
•
Easements •
The applicants have indicated they will create a driveway easement on the property to allow the
church permanent access. This can be accomplished with a cross -access agreement, which the
City is requiring as a condition on this lot split.
Utilities
The property is currently served by municipal sewer and water. Capacity exists to serve the
proposed school on the new Parcel B.
Trail Fee
A Trail fee in the amount of $612 will be required for the new property.
Park Dedication
The City has the option of collecting a park fee as indicated in the attached section of the City
Code titled `Optional Park Fee'. The applicant has provided the attached letter requesting this fee
be waived. The amount of the park fee is determined by the zoning district. In this case, the
property is zoned R -4, Single Family Urban Residential. As a result the applicable park fee
would be one lot unit for each of the proposed lots ($2,515 per lot for a total of $5030).
ACTION REQUIRED
The Planning and Zoning Commission is asked to form a recommendation to the City Council on
the lot split. •

Mayor Mike Gamache and City Council
City of Andover
1685 Crosstown Blvd. NW
Andover, MN 55304
Dear Mayor Gamache and City Council:
Riverdale Assembly of God has applied for a lot split to sell property to Bunker Hills
Academy at 3210 Bunker Lake Blvd. NW [The East 495.00 feet as measured along
the north and south lines of the Northeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section
32, Township 32, Range 24, Anoka County, Minnesota]. See accompanying Sketch
Plan for Bunker Bills Academy Exhibit B.
It is our understanding the City of Andover can assess a park fee regarding sale of
property. Because of the nature of the project —a school to be built with playground
and ball fields —we are requesting that any park fees that may be assessed by the City
of Andover be waived.
Thank you for your consideration of this waiver. If you have question regarding the
lot split, please call me at 763.421.8080. You may also wish to speak with the Bunker
Hills Academy Administrator Gary Peterson at 763.421.3530. Courtney Bednari has
a sketch of the property and what is proposed in the lot split
Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
Yours truly,
tvf -�

The Park and Recreation Commission shall further recommend changes

3. Park And Recreation Commission Recommendation: The Park and

of the extension is the fee that is to be contributed. Park cash
contributions are to be paid to the city prior to the recording of the
final plat at the county. The City Council may require the payment
at a later time under terms agreed upon in the development
agreement Delayed payment may include interest at a rate set by

SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: Conditional Use Permit to allow outdoor storage at 3118
162 Lane NW.
INTRODUCTION
The applicant is seeking a conditional use permit to allow for outdoor storage on their property.
This would allow a roll -off dumpster business that has been run on the site since 2005 to remain
in operation.
DISCUSSION
Outdoor storage is a conditional use in the Industrial zoning district. This allows the City to
review the site and set conditions to ensure that the storage will not have a negative impact on
neighboring properties.
• The attached letters from the property owner and manager of the roll-off business lay out their
proposal for the storage of the dumpster boxes on the site. They state that there will be a
maximum of 13 boxes on the site, with at least 10 of them being empty, that all boxes that have
material in them will be covered while on the site, and that full boxes will remain on the property
for no more than 3 days. These stipulations have been included as conditions in the attached
resolution. A condition requiring that boxes not be stacked higher than the fence that provides
the required screening has also been included.
Site improvements for this property will be reviewed under the newly adopted interim
performance standards for the Hughs/Westview Industrial Park area. Upon reviewing the site,
staff recommends the following improvements.
• Paint the Exterior of the Building- The sheet metal exterior of the building is starting to
rust. A coat of paint would enhance the overall look of the property.
• Pave the Driveway and Front Parking Lot- the driveway onto 162 Lane and part of the
parking lot are gravel. This results in gravel and dirt being tracked onto the street, as
shown in the attached photographs.
• Stripe the Front Parking Lot - The front parking lot area is not striped. Striping would
allow for more orderly parking and help ensure that the required number of parking stalls
are being provided.
• Landscape the Front of the Building- Landscaping should be provided in front of the
• building to provide some screening and a more attractive view from the street. A detailed
landscape plan will need to be provided.
• Dust Control in Rear Lot- Dust control measures should be used in all unpaved areas in
the rear storage area.
• Additional Fencing - The applicant has proposed placing a new wood or concrete fence at
the entrance to the rear storage yard. This would provide additional screening from the
street. •
The Planning Commission and City Council will need to determine what site improvements will
be required, using the interim performance standards as a guide.
Applicable Ordinances
Chapter 12 -5 -6 B of the Andover City Code provides the following criteria for the issuance of a
Conditional Use Permit:
1. In granting a Conditional Use Permit, the City Council shall consider the advice and
recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and:
a. The effect of the proposed use upon the health, safety, morals and general welfare of
occupants of surrounding lands.
b. Existing and anticipated traffic conditions, including parking facilities.
c. The effect on values of property and scenic views in the surrounding area, and the
effect of the proposed use on the Comprehensive Plan.
2. If it shall determine by resolution that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the
health, safety, morals, or general welfare of the community, nor will cause serious traffic
congestion or hazards, nor will seriously depreciate surrounding property values, and that
said use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this title and the comprehensive
plan, the City Council may grant such permits.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Conditional Use Permit subject to the conditions in
the attached resolution.

Re: Conditional Use Permit for 3118 162 Lane
RECEIVED
JUN 5 2007
CITY OF ANDOVER
Please consider this letter as my request for your consideration of a Conditional Use Permit for the purpose of
outdoor storage of roll -off dumpsters on the above referenced property in an Industrial Zoning District. I was
not aware of the City Code requirement for such a permit as the property was being used for this purpose at the
time of my purchase in 2005. An inspection by Mr. Cross advised me of the requirements to be in compliance
with City Code. Following is general information relating to my permit application:
0
• No garbage will be in containers on -site.
• Containers will hold construction waste only.
• Containers, if full, will always be covered.
• Plan is to relocate containers pursuant to site plan.
• Total maximum containers on -site will be 13 of which 10 will be empty
• Full containers will remain on site no longer than 3 days.
• LePage & Sons have designated trucks and trailers to pick up full containers for disposal, however, due
to holidays, weekends, Saturday pick -up and equipment breakdowns the maximum 3 days storage are
required.
Proposed property improvements:
• Paint Building
• Landscape Front Yard
• Wood or Concrete Front Fence
It is my understanding that I am to be in attendance at the City Council Meeting as well as the Planning and
Zoning Commission. I will be available for anyone to contact me at 612- 810 -6098 to answer any questions or
provide additional information. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

RE: Request for Conditional Use Permit
LePage and Sons Inc. would like to respectfully request the consideration of the Mayor and City
Council of Andover in the issuance of a conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the property located 3118
162nd Lane NW. Mr. Lindquist's letter will outline the conditional use permit request as it pertains to
Title 12, Chapter 12 "Outdoor display, Storage, and Sales" of the city code.
We have operated from this location since the fall of 2005 and not until recently did we discover
that we were in violation of City code. Knowledge of similar operations from this industrial zoned
location prior to our arrival lead us to believe our business would be compliant with code. We are a
family owned locally operated business with a successful past and bright future in the community.
We take a great deal of pride in our work and our contributions to the communities in which we
work and live. We would like it to be known that we would never knowingly violate city code. The
primary focus of our business is to supply waste solutions to local contractors, business and residents.
We are strictly a Rolloff business with primary focus centered on the construction industry, with many
of our customers and clients living and working within the city of Andover.
We are committed to working diligently with Mr. Lindquist to make the necessary improvements
outlined in his request in a manner that is both fiscally and timely prudent. We would look forward
to the opportunity to review the requirements necessary to bring the property with in compliance to
continue our operations from this location and remain a part of Andover's' strong business
community.
Sincerely,
Dave King
