REGULAR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING
September 11, 1978
MINUTES
The Regular Meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission was called
to order at 7:30 P.M. by Chairman Larry Retzlaff on September 11, 1978
at the Andover Community Center, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Anoka,
Minnesota.
Commissioners Present: d'Arcy Bosell, Ralph Kishel and Jeannine Pyron
Commissioners Absent: Walter Dick and Don Jacobson
Also Present: Dave Pillatzke, Engineer from T.K.D.A., and others
Minutes
Motion by Commissioner Pyron, seconded by Chairman Retzlaff, for approval
of the August 22, 1978 Minutes.
Vote on motion: yes - Chairman Retzlaff, Commissioner Pyron, Commissioner
Kishel; present - Commissioner Bosell. Motion carried.
Kadlec Addition Preliminary Plat Continued Public Hearing (Comm. /f5-78-3)
The Commission received revised plats. Engineer Pillatzke reviewed
his letter of 9-6-78. He was concerned with a couple of items in
particular. There should be some kind of drainage agreement between
the developer and the property owner to the South of the proposed Lot
4, Block 2 because there will probably be more runoff onto his property.
He should also provide some kind of drainage for the low lying areas
in Lot 2, Block 2, and Lot 3, Block 1. The right-of-way on County Road
9 should be 75' instead of 50' as shown. The zoning on the property
within 300' should be shown on the plat. There is no Park and Recreation
Commission recommendation on the property. Mr. Kadlec is going to suggest
giving money in lieu of land, if possible. Discussed the jog on l69th -
the developer is to look into the length of tangent on the offset.
A variance would be required for the length of l69th and also the size
of Lot 4, Block 2.
Chairman Retzlaff called for public input - no one responded.
Motion by Commissioner Bosell, seconded by Commissioner Kishel, to
continue the Kadlec Addition Preliminary Plat Public Hearing to September
26, 1978. Motion carried unanimously.

James Fields Variance Continued (Cornm. #8-78-3)
This item was discussed at length at the August 8, 1978 Planning
and Zoning Commission Meeting.
\
/
Motion by Commissioner Bosell, seconded by Commissioner Pyron that
the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council
approval of the James Fields Variance request (on the property described
as: That part of the NE~ of the NE~ of Sec. 20 T,32, R. 24, Anoka County,
MN, described as follows: Commencing at the NE cor. of said Sec. 20,
thence S. along the E. line of said NE~ of the NE~, a distance of
781.5' to the actual point of beginning of tract to be described; thence
N. along last described course a distance of 138'; thence W. parallel
with the N. line of said NE~ of the NE~ a distance of 264'; thence
N. parallel with the E. line of said NE~ of the NE~ a distance of
183.9'; thence W. parallel with the N, line of said NE~ of NE~ a distance
of 562.81' to its intersection with a line drawn S. at right angles
from a point on the N. line of said NE~ of NE~, distant 825'W, (as
measured along said N. line) from the NE cor. thereof; thence S. on said
line a distance of 321.90' to its intersection with a line drawn W.
from the point of beginning and parallel with the N. line of said NE~
of NE~; thence E. on said parallel line to the point of beginning.
Together with an easement for septic system drainfield purposes over
the following described tract: That part of the NE~ of the NE~, Sec.
20, T. 32, R. 24, described as follows: Commencing at a point on the
E. line of said NE~ distant 781.5' S. of the NE cor. thereof; thence
W. and parallel with the N. line of said NE~ a distance of 200' to the
actual point of beginning; thence continue W. and parallel with said
N. line a distance of 60'; thence S. and parallel with the E. line of
said NE~ a distance of 60'; thence E. and parallel with said N. line
to its intersection with a line parallel with and distant 200' W. of
said E. line; thence N. along said parallel line a distance of 60'
to the point of beginning.) from Ordinance lOB Section 7.01 ie: lot
width of 300',under Ordinance 10 Section 17.01 for the following reasons:
1) the parcel in question is restricted in its frontage due to the
fact that the adjoining properties both to the North and South are
owned by other land owners; therefore, additional frontage cannot be
obtained. 2) to deny this variance request could cause an undue hardship
to the enjoyment of a substantial property right. 3) granting this
variance would not adversely affect the adjacent property owners.
4) granting this variance would not adversely affect the Comprehensive
Development Plan or the spirit and intent of this Ordinance.
Motion carried unanimously. This will be on the City Council Agenda
on October 3, 1978.

Pond View Preliminary Plat Continued Public Hearing (Comm. #2-78-5)
James Conroy Rezoning (Pond View) (Comm. #6-78-9)
~
- /
Greg duMonceaux commented on several items that were in question
or were discussed at the last meeting. In doing some research about
taxes and tax base, they came up with about $55,000 to $60,000 yearly
taxes based on the existing size of the center proposed. He and
Mr. Conroy had driven to a couple of different centers that are similar
to what is being planned. In Oak Park Plaza the grocery store, the
hardware store and drug store are the type and size they are proposing.
This type of facility (Crosstown Plaza) will provide maybe 30 to 50
local jobs as well as part-time after school type jobs. He said that
the highway engineer informed him that they would have plans for
upgrading County Road 18 if it develops more along this road. Discussed
the NB Neighborhood Business zoning designation versus the SC Shopping
Center zoning. Mr. Conroy and the planners do not want some of the
allowable businesses under SC zoning in Ordinance 8 such as music,
liquor or local hang out type of facility. If the center has an
NB designation, the uses can be restricted far better than a Shopping
Center zoning.
,
)
Motion by Chairman Retzlaff, seconded by Commissioner Bose1l, that
the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends to the Andover City
Council approval of the James Conroy rezoning application on the property
shown on the site plan on the corner of l39th Avenue NW and Crosstown
Boulevard (legal description attached). Rezoning recommendation will
be from the current R-4 residential zoning to an NB (Neighborhood
Business) zoning for the following reasons: 1) Public hearings were
held and there was no public opposition to the rezoning to NB - Neighborhood
Business. 2) Said rezoning would comprise an area of 6.75 acres with
proposed neighborhood businesses which would comply with the Comprehensive
Development Plan under the Goals, Primary Policies, Secondary Policies,
under Commercial Development within the City of Andover. Said rezoning
would promote neighborhood conveniences; such convenient retail center
shall be located to permit and encourage walking. Said rezoning would
be subject to all zoning Ordinances pertaining to parking, accesses,
screening and fencing. 3) Proposed rezoning to NB (Neighborhood
Business) should be subject to site plan as presented to the Planning
and Zoning Commission. 4) Site plan shall be subject to review for
compatibility with surrounding neighborhood and residences at the time
of issuance of any building permits. 5) Said rezoning would not cause
an undue hardship or increase, in the opinion of the Commission, of
traffic on Crosstown Boulevard or other surrounding major and minor
thoroughfares. 6) The subject rezoning would not have a detrimental
effect on the health, safety, or general welfare of the community.
7) A market feasibility study has been presented on the proposed rezoning
dated 8-4-78 showing a substantial need for such a center in the
City of Andover.

Motion tied and dies for
Chairman Retzlaff called for a recess at 8:14 to contact the City
Attorney for proper procedure. Meeting reconvened at 8:23. He was
unable to reach the Attorney. One suggestion was to send it on to
the City Council with no recommendation and showing a split decision.
Al Schrupp, 2322 - 139th Avenue, "I reviewed the plans when the original
came out and I absolutely agree with what he is doing. It is a neighborhood
business. The type of business is being limited to what would be
compatible with the neighborhood. It will increase the tax base to
the City of Andover. It will not allow further planning of a large
commercial or a small commercial business to come in nor will it allow
big apartment buildings or duplexes which I do not think is compatible
with that area. I am in favor of this., I do not stand to benefit any
financial gain from this."
\ Some of the difficulties the Commission is having with this proposed
~ -~ NB zoning are 1) the statement in the Comprehensive Plan about NB
centers serving one square mile or about 5,000 people and 2) the
existing NB zoning near this property that has had no construction or
activity. Ordinance 8 Section 4.17 was read and discussed. Particularly
the portion regarding the Planning and Zoning Commission initiating
a rezoning back to the original zoning on the property if construction
has not begun within 24 months.
Chairman Retzlaff resubmitted his previous motion with Commissioner
Bosell seconding it. Vote on motion: yes - Chairman Retzlaff, Commissioner
Bosell; no - Commissioner Pyron, Commissioner Kishel. Motion tied.
Motion by Chairman Retzlaff, seconded by Commissioner Bosell, that
the Planning and Zoning Commission makes the following recommendation
to the Andover City Council: that, as a result of a public hearing
and extended conversations concerning the request by Mr. James Conroy
for rezoning from current R-4 zoning to NB, Neighborhood Business
(Legal description of property attached) the Commission has, after
many votes, continually arrived at a split decision on the matter.
We, therefore, submit to the City Council the Commission's division
on this matter and ask the Council to take the case under advisement
with a split decision from the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Engineer Pillatzke reviewed his letter of 9-6-78 with the Commission.
The items in this letter are a reiteration of the previous letter
from T.K.D.A. reviewing the plat. Discussed waiting with this plat
until after October 3, 1978 and the City Council makes a decision
on the rezoning on the proposed Lot 2.
Motion by Commissioner Pyron, seconded by Chairman Retzlaff, to continue
the Pond View Preliminary Plat public hearing until October 10, 1978.
Motion carried unanimously.
Registered Land Survey (Stack Property) Continued (Comm. #8-78-2)
The Commission had received a letter from T.K.D.A. dated 8-30-78 and
a letter from Caine and O'Malley dated 8-31-78, requesting a variance
from platting requirements relating to topographic data and existing
public improvements. Mr. O'Malley said he had talked to Chuck Wetzler,
Engineer, after receiving his letter. He indicated on the phone that
since there were no roads to build that the topographical information
may not be necessary. Mr. Stack eXplained the history on this land
\ and how it became registered.
)
Mr. O'Malley will attempt to have all the information available in order
to have a public hearing by the September 26, 1978 meeting.
Pine Hills Preliminary Plat Continued Public Hearing (Comm. #5-78-6)
The Park and Recreation Commission has made a recommendation on this
plat but the engineering work is still being done.
Motion by Commissioner Bosell, seconded by Commissioner Pyron, to
continue the Pine Hills Addition Preliminary Plat Public Hearing.
Johnson's Field Preliminary Plat Continued (Comm. #4-78-6)
\
, )
The City Council has referred the plat back to both the Park and
Recreation Commission and the Planning and Zoning Commission for
further review. The Park and Recreation Commission met on September
7th and has now made a recommendation that Lots 5, 6 and 7 be dedicated
for park land. The Planning and Zoning Commission assumed it was meant
the lots were those in Block 3 which have had a number of engineering
problems because of the low elevations of lots 6 and 7. The Council
had questioned the buildability of Lots 6 and 7 of Block 3 so the
Planning and Zoning Commission wondered whether the recommendation
by the Park and Recreation Commission would take care of it. If the
lots are park land they wouldn't have to be considered for suitability
for home sites.

Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes - September 11, 1978
Page 6
Engineer Pillatzke stated that Lots 6 and 7 are subject to flooding
as defined by the 100 year flood plain study prepared by HUD. The
study has the flood plain at the elevation of 872. The lots in question
must be filled to provide a minimum of 39,000 square feet of buildable
land above the 872 contour. Also, the basement elevations must provide
3' of free board above the 872 contours. The lots can be filled to
provide this, however filling should not encroach past the property
line and onto other property. The lots, as proposed, are not considered
buildable from an engineering standpoint. However, they do have a
potential of becoming buildable if the previously stated criteria is
met.
James Kurth, surveyor, said that there is a new study being done by
HOD. They would hold these lots off the market until the new study
comes in and they felt it would show a lower elevation - that this
is too high.
Wyman Smith, (Linda Johnson's Attorney) 6441 University Avenue NE,
Fridley, "The limitation (On donating park land) is that it has to be
reasonable and it should be in conformance with a City Plan. I would
think that the City would be better off with cash because 1) there
isn't a City Park Plan and 2) because parks in small subdivisions
have not worked out well in other communities. A neighborhood park
has to be developed to have some sense, otherwise it is just a sand
lot where kids can play but if it is going to be improved you have to
spend some money on it. It might be better from a City standpoint to
have a park that is larger. If you have funds to develop a larger park,
it would be better. It seems to me that you (the Planning and Zoning
Commission) and the City Council are better able to look at this long
range. From the standpoint of the developer, there is a large area
of park to be developed across the street and they would prefer to
furnish funds. They, in fact, would furnish double the funds that
would normally be required. Another fact to take into consideration
is that in subdivisions that have these small parks, the lots that
are adjacent are not prime. It is better to be away from the parks
because a neighborhood park, unless it is large and well planned,
tends to be noisy and disruptive and people do not want their house
right next door."
It was mentioned that the Park and Recreation Commission and the
Planning and Zoning Commission are parallel as advisory groups to
the City Council. They questioned why the recommendation was made
to ask for Lots 5, 6 and 7 of Block 3 when they are low land. They
didn't want to accept any additional wetland and the residents of
Dehn's Addition said their children were using lots 11 and 12 to
play ball, etc. Mr. Smith referred to Section 9 of Ordinance and stated
that it would seem that if they didn't agree with the Park and Recreation
Commission to at least express some feeling about it.

Motion by Commissioner Bosell, seconded by Commissioner Kishel, to
recommend to the City Council approval of the Johnson's Field Preliminary
Plat (located at: the S. 66' of the NWt of the NEt of Sec. 30, T. 32,
R. 24, Anoka County, MN together with: the swt of the NEt of Sec. 30,
T. 32, R. 24, Anoka County, MN except parcels number 1210, 1350, 1365,
1370, 1380, and 1400 as described and filed in the County Auditor's
Office.) for the following reasons: 1) the plat is compatible with
the intent of the Comprehensive Development Plan. 2) the plat meets
the provisions of Ordinances 8 and 10. 3) there was a public hearing
held with both "in favor" and "against" responses being received,
especially dealing with the handling of storm water. 4) there has
been a recommendation from the Park and Recreation Commission for the
acceptance of park lands (Lots 5, 6, and 7 of Block 3). However, the
developer wishes to donate to the City money in lieu of land and requests
that right. It is further noted that upon requesting these specific
lots for park land, it does not appear to be consistent with the desires
of the residents of the adjoining development as these lots are not
desirable, dry park land. 5) the plat has been reviewed by the City
Engineer and found to be satisfactory under the City's Engineering
standards. It should further be considered that the adjacent land
\ (Lund's Round Lake Estates) in the creation of this plat, becomes the
_/ holder of double frontage lots. However, the future subdivision
plans of that development look for a road to be developed in the location
of l47th Avenue and, therefore, would not create difficulty within
the City (see Ordinance 10, Section 9.06 F). 6) the Planning and
Zoning Commission recommends that Guarani Street be extended to connect
with Guarani Street in Lund's Round Lake Estates and said road be
constructed.
Discussed whether it would be proper to include in the recommendation
that the developer has volunteered to donate twice the money required
by the Ordinance.
Motion carried unanimously. This will be on the City Council Agenda
on September 19, 1978.
Wobegon Woods Preliminary Plat Public Hearing (Comm. #5-78-4)
"
)
The Public Hearing was called to order by Chairman Retzlaff. Engineer
Pillatzke reviewed his letter of 9-6-78 with the Commission, Some of
the items mentioned were: Flora Court and Eidelweiss Court exceed the
cul-de-sac length; Block 3 exceeds the 1320' maximum block length;
Lot 3, Block 2, Lot 3 of Block 1, Lot 5 of Block 2 and Lot 5 of Block
3 don't meet the minimum frontage requirements; the Park and Recreation
Commission has not made a recommendation on park dedication and the
developer commented that he would prefer to donate money rather than
land; the right-of-way on Round Lake Boulevard should be 75'; Lot 4
of Block 3 is a double frontage lot; the zoning on the adjoining property
is not shown; the right-of-way intersections should not be shown as
a single point but rather a 20' radius,

Chairman Retzlaff called for public input. Donna Gram, 3054 - 174th
Avenue, asked what the plat involves and how it would affect them and
how many acres they propose per lot. Mr. Bovee, 3023 - 174th Avenue,
asked for a definition of R-3 zoning. Mrs. Seel, 3103 - l74th asked
whether this development would bring City sewer and water sooner.
Motion by Commissioner Pyron, seconded by Commissioner Kishel to continue
the Public Hearing for the Wobegon Woods Preliminary Plat to give
the developer an opportunity to review T.K.D.A. 's letter and the Engineering
matters and the matters brought up by the Commission and also the
opportunity to meet with the Park and Recreation Commission. Motion
carried unanimously.
Rum River Forest Preliminary Plat Public Hearing (Comm. #7-78-3)
/ "\
)
The Public Hearing was called to order. The Commission had received
a letter from T.K.D.A. dated 9-7-78. Some of the items mentioned
were: 1) County Road 7 right-of-way should be 75'; 2) the legal description
shown is incorrect; 3) the streets will be in accordance with Rural
Street standards; 4) the Rum River designation. Chairman Retzlaff
called for public input.
Dr. Yeager, 4810 Marystone, stated that their major concern was with
159th Avenue. He felt that in considering a plat, consideration should
be given to ingress and egress roads to the area. In the last 10
years they have lived there, they have seen considerably more use,
primarily because of the development to the North of 159th. There has
been no upgrading of the road at all. The road is in a irreparable
state. Their concern is having another large area of development go
into this area that is going to go out onto l59th meaning more cars
and traffic. He was also concerned that a number of his neighbors
had been at the meeting to express their views but had had to leave.
Derril Burger, developer, mentioned the recommendation of September
11, 1978 from the Park and Recreation Commission not accepting the
proposed park land. Lengthy discussion followed on: park land, park
money, Park and Recreation Commission recommendation, possibly requesting
a special meeting to take care of this developer's questions.
Motion by Commissioner Kishe1, seconded by Commissioner Pyron, to
continue the public hearing on Rum River Forest Preliminary Plat to
September 26, 1978. Motion carried unanimously.

International Tire Recycling Corporation Special Use Permit Public
Hearing (Comm. #9-78-1)
International Tire Recycling Corporation Variance (Comm. #9-78-2)
Chairman Retzlaff called the public hearing to order on the Special
Use Permit. Alan Rouse, President of International Tire Recycling
Corporation, explained their background and intention~with his wife
and son, Mark, assisting.
'\
'J
It is a newly formed corporation for the purpose of recycling the tires
in the Andover accumulation. He is presently in business in Thief
River Falls and they are starting a new business down here. The business
in Thief River is a retail auto center. He got involved in the deal
in June of last year when the infamous pile of tires got in the newspapers.
Having been in the tire business for 27 years, it was extremely intriguing,
On August 10, 1978 they closed on the deal with Cecil Heidelberger.
They purchased all the land except for 6 acres and the house. Their
plan is to get the accumulation of tires cleaned up and have an ongoing
operation. They will ultimately need about 8 acres. There is no need
for the entire 23 acres of land that they have purchased.
\
, )
The whole problem lies in developing a market for the product - the
piles of tires. He commented on the various methods they have researched
of recycling the tires in order to dispose of them. The pyrolysis
method and the cryogenics method would be very expensive. They ran
into a road block because of the finances required. Being very determined,
they pursued another avenue - the shredded rubber. They now have a
purchase order for 3,600 tons (about 360,000 shredded tires) of rubber
as a starter which will be shipped out of state to a user. That user
will second-phase process them and it will go back into the manufacture
of rubber products. They have ordered one shredding machine and have
a contingent agreement on 2 more. The machine can either be run by
diesel or electricity. The machine they are getting is diesel because
it is moveable and cheaper. The first building will be 40 x 42 but if
they get 3 shredders in operation the bUilding will be bigger, The
shredding machine has the ability to shred the tires down to the bead.
One machine will fill one semi with shredded rubber per day. There
will be no pollution. The machine has a blower that blows the whole
thing into the carrier vehicle so other than the distasteful dust that
goes with handling tires, there will be no residue. Everything taken
off the tire, with the exception of the beads, goes into the transport
carrier. They are working with the Pollution Control Agency and the
Environmental Development Agency and those groups are very supportive.
They will be creating about 15 job opportunities. The junked autos
will be moved by January 1, 1979.

Cecil Heidelberger, 2052 Bunker Lake Boulevard NW, said that he has
more than 6 acres of property. It is called the ''Musket Ranch" and
he has been there for 30 years. He does not junk cars. He restores
them. He is building a museum west of Anoka for the restored cars.
It was explained that the quickest market for using tires is as a
coal additive. With the addition of 12% shredded rubber to coal,
low-grade or lignite, it increases the efficiency 70%. This develops
a market for steel radial tires for which there presently is no market.
A new power plant went in in Fairmont that is designed to help solve
solid waste problems. They will be bidding on supplying shredded rubber
to them. International Tire will be a pilot plant to supply the shredded
rubber to the Fairmont plant as a coal additive. It was mentioned that
there would probably be about 2 or 3 large trucks and 6 or 8 small trucks,
at the most, bringing in additional tires.
\
)
Chairman Retzlaff called for public input. Ann Klar, 2054 Bunker
Lake Boulevard NW, stated that she lives right behind those tires.
She has been trying to sell her place for 2 years and can't because
of those tires. She commented on the mosquitoes and rodents, etc.,
resulting from the piles of tires. She has been hauling in water because
she feels her well has become polluted.
Mr. Heidelberger replied that the PCA took samples and found no pollution
coming from the tires. He said that the tires get too hot for the
mosquitoes to breed; and, also, the rodents mentioned need food and
there is no food in or near the tires so therefore there are no rodents.
Discussed requesting a site plan for the location of the proposed building
and the location of the employee parking, etc. Chairman Retzlaff called
for additional public input.
Motion by Commissioner Kishel, seconded by Commissioner Bosell, to
close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously.
The 23 acres of land has less than 300' of frontage on Bunker Lake
Boulevard. Discussed the l-acre parcels with the 33' of easement shown
adjacent to the West of the 23 acres. Questioned when these parcels
became lots of record. It was agreed that a legal opinion from the
City Attorney was needed.
Both the Special Use Permit and the Variance will be continued until
the Special Meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission on September

Richard DeGardner Variance Request (from Ordinance 40) (Comm. #9-78-5)
The variance was intended to pertain to Ordinance 40, Section 1, B,
the 3-year waiting period. Mr. De Gardner is requesting that Lot 1,
Block 2 of Country Estates Addition be split into 2 separate parcels.
Since the lot was created by the platting procedure and not the Lot
Split Ordinance (#40), a refund was recommended.
Motion by Chairman Retzlaff, seconded by Commissioner Pyron, to refund
the money on the Variance requested on the split of the lot - subdivision
within the past 3 years. Motion carried unanimously.
Richard DeGardner Variance (from Ordinance 8) (Comm. #9-78-4)
Richard DeGardner Lot Split (Comm. #9-78-3)
)
Mr. De Gardner wants to divide Lot 1, Block 2 of Country Estates Addition
into 2 lots. The South lot would have 81 feet of frontage and the
North lot would have 80 feet of frontage on Gladiola Street. The
zoning for this area is R-4. The variance is requested because the
lots are less than the minimum required 85' for this zoning designation.
The lots each have almost double the minimum square footage required
for this zoning. There is one sewer stub about 35' from the South
property line. The Commission questioned the drawing submitted that
showed a north/south line between 78'and 85' from the lake. It shows
survey points there also. The Commission wondered whether this would
be creating a separate parcel. Commissioner Kishel will take care of
finding out if this is a separate parcel and/or the reason for the
north/south line.
The lot split and variance discussion will be continued until the Special
Meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission on Thursday, September 14,
1978.
Motion by Commissioner

Bosell, seconded by Chairman Retzlaff, to continue
the agenda to the Special Thursday night meeting
Motion carried unanimously.
