Councilmembers present: Sheri Bukkila, Don Jacobson, Mike Knight, Julie Trude Councilmember absent: None Also present: Assistant Public Works Director, Todd Haas City Administrator, Jim Dickinson Others The meeting was called to order following the Community Garden Plot Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. DISCUSS WIND TURBINE ORDINANCE Mr. Dickinson explained on March 16, 2010 the City Council approved Ordinance No. 390 which includes regulations for wind energy conversion systems. Recently, Councilmember Don Jacobson submitted revised language suggestions for consideration. Councilmember Jacobson reviewed with the rest of the Council the revised language he came up with to improve the Ordinance. Councilmember Trude stated on page 2 under WECS prohibited she wanted to add a word ... shall be prohibited "on" but she wanted to know why this would matter. She would be fine if it was omitted because they do not control it. Councilmember Knight agreed. Councilmember Trude stated she would like to remove this from the ordinance. The Council discussed roof mounted turbines. Mr. Dickinson stated the question was if the Council still wanted roof mounted prohibited within the MUSA area. He stated Councilmember Jacobson is proposing to remove this from the ordinance so roof mounted turbines would be allowed throughout the entire City. Councilmember's Knight and Bukkila stated they would not want to remove that from the ordinance. Councilmember Bukkila asked if it were roof mounted would it still be under conditional use. Mr. Dickinson indicated it would. Councilmember Bukkila stated she would not have a problem with that if each one was reviewed. Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes —May 20, 2010 Page 2 1 Mr. Dickinson noted most current residential roofs are likely not designed to structurally hold a 2 turbine so he believed new construction would be where most would likely be proposed. 3 4 Councilmember Bukkila stated because these are so new she thought there will be improvements to 5 them in the future so she did not want to prohibit them at this time. 6 7 Councilmember Bukkila asked if someone installs one of these and taps into the grid will the utility 8 companies get involved. Councilmember Jacobson stated these would be for home use and not 9 powerful enough to tap into the grid and to supply electricity to a full household. 10 11 Councilmember Trude asked if they will need to add this to the building code. Mr. Dickinson stated 12 if someone were to come in for approval they would need to get a structural analysis done to see if 13 the structure is strong enough to hold a wind turbine. 14 15 Setbacks 16 17 Mayor Gamache stated he liked the proposed changes to the setback section. 18 19 Mayor Gamache asked how they would measure the setback if the turbine is on top of the home. Mr. 20 Dickinson stated they would follow the design requirements for these. 21 22 Councilmember Knight asked how they would control a noise nuisance that would be continuous. 23 Mr. Dickinson stated that would be listed in the nuisance ordinance. 24 25 The Council continued to discuss possible noise issues related to wind turbines. 26 27 Councilmember Trude asked if wind turbines will be allowed in front yards. Mr. Dickinson stated it 28 depended on where on the lot the wind turbine would fit with the setback requirements. 29 Councilmember Jacobson asked Mr. Dickinson to check with the City Attorney regarding this. 30 31 Mr. Dickinson preferred to keep the insurance liability requirement at $300,000 since that is the 32 standard amount provided on a homeowner's policy. 33 34 The Council concurred with the changes that were proposed to the Ordinance. 35 36 Mr. Dickinson indicated the proposed changes would need to go through the public hearing process 37 again. 38 39 2011-2015 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRESS REPORT 40 41 Mr. Dickinson stated Administration/Finance along with all other City Departments are well 42 underway in the process of developing a 2011 -2015 CIP. As part of the process, staff is working 43 with various committees and commissions to assist them in completing their work. 44 Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes —May 20, 2010 Page 3 1 Mr. Dickinson reviewed the progress report with the Council. 2 3 Mr. Dickinson stated the Park Commission is going to be focusing on this item at their meeting and 4 they will be discussing the funding they received because Andover Station North was paid off early. 5 He stated the reason they did this was because the Andover Station North fields are built on an outlot 6 and by them utilizing the available funds that were provided that area is no longer a park dedicated 7 improvement funded facility which means twenty years down the road if the Council wants to shut 8 the facility down and sell it they can do that. 9 10 Councilmember Jacobson liked the idea of doing this because right now when they accept a park 11 dedication from a developer it has to be a park but maybe it should be outlots with placing play 12 structures on them and in the future they can turn them into something else. 13 14 Mr. Dickinson stated there is a fiscal background behind why this is done. This would offer the City 15 maximum flexibility to utilize the assets they have. 16 17 Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Bukkila, to authorize staff to look into the issue of parks /outlots 18 and bring back to the Council for potential changes to the City Code. 19 20 Councilmember Knight asked if there is any part of Eminent Domain that affects that. 21 22 Mr. Dickinson discussed with the Council some cities that have accepted outlots instead of park 23 dedicated parcels in a development. He discussed the benefits and drawbacks that the City would 24 have if they adopted this. He thought this is something the City should explore. 25 26 Motion carried unanimously. 27 28 Mr. Dickinson continued to review the Capital Improvement Plan with the Council. 29 30 31 2010 BUDGET IMPLEMENTATIONPROGRESS REPORT 32 33 Mr. Dickinson stated the 2010 Budget and Levy was the outcome of a number of budget workshops 34 with the Council, numerous staff meetings, a December 1, 2009 Public Hearing and the final 35 adoption on December 15, 2009. 36 37 The 2010 Budget includes a total property tax levy of $10,856,299: $7,631,494 (70.3 %) 38 operational levy, $1,900,566 (17.5 %) debt service levy, and $1,324,239 (12.2 %) capital levy. 39 The 2010 gross levy reflects a 2.48% increase over 2009. 40 41 Mr. Dickinson reviewed the Budget Implementation progress report with the Council. The 42 primary focus of the report was the investment portfolio make up and some of the strategies 43 currently being used. 44 Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes —May 20, 2010 Page 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 2011 BUDGET DEVELOPMENT DISCUSSION Mr. Dickinson explained the City Finance Department distributed to all City Departments their base budgets, personnel services estimates, capital budget forms, and line item budget pages on May 5 h to get the 2011 budget development process underway. Mr. Dickinson reviewed the staff report with the Council. The Council discussed possibly reinstating steps for employees and when the furlough for the employees should be lifted. Mr. Dickinson indicated he would be comfortable with removing the furlough starting mid - September 2010, but also to allow employees to voluntarily continue on the furlough if they would want to through the end of the year, the benefit provisions would remain enforce, this would likely be attractive to some employees. Mr. Dickinson stated mid - September would be one full year on the 4 hour per pay period furlough. The Council was in agreement to remove the furlough by mid - September 2010, but would encourage Mr. Dickinson to push for an earlier option if financially prudent. Mr. Dickinson indicated if that was the Council direction he would look for an earlier date. They asked Mr. Dickinson to send out a letter to the employees letting them know how much the Council appreciated them taking the furlough and acknowledge their sacrifice. a) Newsletter Discussion Mr. Dickinson showed the Council a couple of sample newsletters from different vendors for consideration. The Council would like the Newletter Committee to look at formal proposals. b) Community Education Partnership Discussion Mr. Dickinson stated the City of Andover as part of the annual budget process for the past number of years has included a funding contribution to the Anoka- Hennepin School District specifically for Community Education. The budgeted contribution for 2010 is $45,200 and the 2008 and 2009 the budgeted contribution was also $45,200. Mr. Dickinson reviewed the information with the Council. Councilmember Trude explained a lot of money is being spent on clerical stuff and staffing. She thought they needed to provide better service to the community for what the City is contributing. She thought they needed to go to a regional model because most schools are regional. She stated they wanted to go to more family programs but the problem is that parents work during the day and do not have time after work to bring the child to a program. Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes — May 20, 2010 Page 5 1 2 Councilmember Trude stated they are thinking about offering Adventures Plus by 3 combining the daycare with the program and the parent can pick them up after work. 4 Councilmember Bukkila stated this will not work with families that have day care after 5 school. She stated families will need to make a choice again. Day cares will not let you pay 6 for part time so the families would need to pay for Adventures Plus for once a week 7 activities and a day care. 8 9 Mr. Dickinson noted the City of Ramsey has stopped contributing but he thought they 10 needed to talk to them because he felt Andover could be subsidizing Ramsey. 11 12 Mayor Gamache felt the Council needed a breakdown of the costs that Andover will be 13 paying for the services before any contribution is made. The rest of the Council concurred. 14 15 16 The Council recessed at 8:55 p.m. 17 18 The Council reconvened at 9:00 p.m. 19 20 21 DISCUSS DOG PARKS 22 23 Mr. Haas stated this item is in regard to a request by resident Jennifer Frisby in the Pinewood Estates 24 development for the City to consider a location(s) for a dog park possibly at one of the existing city 25 parks or other city owned property. 26 27 Councilmember Jacobson wondered if they could use the old golf course for a dog park. 28 29 Ms. Frisby stated she has done a lot of research on the City of Minneapolis website regarding their 30 dog parks. She stated she is ready to take the next step and get other people involved in getting a dog 31 park started. 32 33 Mayor Gamache asked when looking for areas for a dog park he thought people south of City Hall 34 would want one because they will not want to go very far to take their dog. 35 36 Mr. Haas stated they will look at all the options and there will be a booth at Fun Fest to see what the 37 response is. 38 39 Councilmember Trude wondered why the resident wanted to have a dog park. Ms. Frisby stated she 40 loves dogs, one of her dogs is a service dog and she wants to have a place where she can bring her 41 dogs and a lot of the parks in the City do not allow dogs. She would like to be able to bring her dogs 42 with her to watch her daughter play sports. She thought this would be good for the dogs and also for 43 the owners. 44 Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes —May 20, 2010 Page 6 1 Mayor Gamache stated they would need to post some rules at the park indicating the City is not 2 responsible for damages or bodily harm. 3 4 DISCUSS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANIPARK IMPROVEMENTS 5 6 Mr. Haas explained this item is in regard to the 2011 -2015 Parks Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). 7 8 Mr. Haas reviewed the staff report with the Council. 9 10 Mr. Haas stated the Park Commission is on board with Hawkridge Park, they felt $100,000 was very I I generous and they want to move forward. They were also interested in doing Sophie's Park this year 12 and also the skate park. 13 14 Mr. Dickinson stated they would be looking at $150,000 from the fund for Hawkridge Park, Sophie's 15 was $75,000 which would leave approximately $100,000 left to start another project and they do not 16 want to start a project unless they have all the money to get the project done. 17 18 Councilmember Bukkila asked if they could leave the left over money there. Mr. Dickinson stated 19 that is always an option. 20 21 Councilmember Knight explained the problems the Community Center is having with the kids at the 22 skate board park. He noted it is not the kids that skate but the ones that hang around with them and 23 he felt they had a supervision problem. 24 25 Mr. Dickinson reviewed with the Council based on his research what makes a good skateboard park. 26 27 Mr. Haas stated the Park Commission is not interested in placing permanent equipment at the skate 28 park but would like to install a concrete pad somewhere and replace equipment as needed. 29 30 The Council discussed with staff supervision problems that are occurring at the Community Center. 31 32 DISCUSS LRRWMO 3 RD GENERAL WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PLAN 33 34 Mr. Haas explained the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization (LRRWMO) is 35 currently in the process of finishing their Third Generation Watershed Management Plan in 36 accordance with stated rules for surface water management. Cities within the management area and 37 other agencies are given a 60 day review period to provide comments on the proposed plan. Staff 38 has reviewed the plan and would like to review a few items with the City Council before the formal 39 comments are submitted. 40 41 Mr. Haas reviewed the staff report with the Council particularly the disturbed acreage requirement to 42 require a permit. 43 44 The Council concurred that they wanted to keep the permit requirement at 1 acre and directed staff to 19 Mr. Haas reviewed the information with the Council. 20 21 The Council was in agreement to install a street light where indicated on the map shown. 22 23 OTHER TOPICS 24 25 Mr. Dickinson stated he received a call regarding people placing a memorial on her property 26 where someone was killed. The resident did not want to have the memorial there and wondered 27 if there was a policy in place regarding this. He stated the City does not have a policy and 28 wondered if the Council wanted to implement this. 29 30 The Council indicated they did not want to set a policy at this point but asked staff to talk to the 31 family involved about this. He noted the resident would be ok if a bush was planted there but did 32 not want a memorial there anymore. 33 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 REGULAR ANDOVER CITY COUNCIL MEETING — JUNE 1, 2010 MINUTES The Regular Bi- Monthly Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by Acting Mayor Don Jacobson, June 1, 2010, 7:00 p.m., at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota.

City of Andover North Metro Soccer Association Mayor President Date Deputy City Clerk Date U North Metro Soccer Association PO Box 250 Cedar, MN 55011 City Council, Andover 1685 Crosstown Blvd Andover, MN 55304 Council Members: 0q-1F, RECEIVED APR 2 2 2010 CITY OF ANDOVER Wednesday April 21, 2010 North Metro Soccer Association (NMSA), Board of Directors, approve incremental funding not to exceed $100,000.00 (without requiring additional board action) to fund the well and irrigation portions of the Hawk Ridge renovation project. Phase I is expected to be completed by December 2010 or this commitment requires new action by NMSA. If the well and irrigation is under cost the remaining funds are to be used for other aspects of the Hawk Ridge Project. The following commitments by the City of Andover are requested: • The Hawk Ridge project major excavation will not interfere with the use of two soccer fields currently setup for use with the 2010 Spring /Summer Soccer Leagues • NMSA has the right of first use of the Hawk Ridge fields from April 1 thru October 30 annually • Adequate parking will be provided at Hawk Ridge, per the engineering site plan dated 12/3/2009 which shows a minimum of 193 parking stalls • In the event the City of Andover decides to remove the hockey rink from this park facility NMSA will be informed and included on discussion of development. • NMSA has the first right to develop and use the proposed building or buildings of Phase 3 It is our understanding that current field allocations will not be decreased on account of this project. This is also to clarify that the previous commitment of $30,000 will be a part of this total new support. NMSA has been serving the youth in communities across the northern suburbs for 31 years. The organization is 100% volunteer based with consistent growth. The Board of Directors appreciates your continued support to enable our ability to provide an opportunity for youth to participate in a quality soccer experience that promotes positive youth development through soccer. The City of Andover has the opportunity to recover their investment in the Hawk Ridge Project by cost avoidance for the operational costs of trucking water to the park. North Metro Soccer Association's investment has no cost avoidance or monetary value benefiting the community; the value is in the quality of the "green space" enabling the NMSA Community Youth Soccer Programming in the City of Andover. Spring 2010, NMSA had approximately 1,950 registered youth participants with Minnesota Youth Soccer Association, recreation and competitive participants combined. The youth who participate in our community based soccer programs range from age 4 to age 19, both boys and girls. We are expecting approximately 2,100 participants in 2011. NMSA is also a sponsor organization for the National Top Soccer Organization which serves youth with disabilities. �r U North Metro Soccer Association PO Box 250 Cedar, MN 55011 We continue to experience and foresee growth in our membership as the northern communities grow.

Andover, MN 55304 Dear Andover City Council Members: Thank you for taking the time to review this petition. The following are a couple of concerns regarding the issue of people using 148' Lane NW as their own school drop off zone: • The street ends up being so congested, with vehicles lining both sides, that trying to pass through becomes a challenge. It even becomes dangerous trying to back out of our own driveways. (photo below was on a slow day) • There have been many times where a vehicle pulls to the side to park and wait for their child(ren) and end up blocking our driveways: µ: • The safety of the children is at risk. Often times these kids enter into the street without paying any attention to the fact that there are other vehicles driving through. Parents also stop their vehicles in the middle of the road to talk to another parent in a vehicle that is already parked. • The home to the east of the walking path has complaints of all these kids cutting across her yard to reach their parents' vehicle, trampling through her hastas that line her driveway. The attached petition has been signed by the residents of this block who are directly affected by all of this unnecessary traffic. We do not agree that our block should be used as a school drop off zone and that these parents should utilize the drop off/pick up process that the school has in place. Thank you again for your time.

DISCUSSION A Community Development Block Grant has been awarded to the City to construct water main along 138 Avenue NW and Xavis Street NW between Crosstown Drive NW and Bunker Lake Boulevard NW. After the construction is complete the properties along this segment will not be required to hookup to the public water system. If they desire to hookup they will go through a petition process and the relevant fees will be assessed to the property. The Minnesota Plumbing Code requires properties to hookup to the public water supply system if it is accessible unless otherwise permitted by the administrative authority which is the City. The City Council is requested to waive this requirement and allow each property to petition for such connection if desired.

US TO: Mayor and Councilmembers CC: Jim Dickinson, City Administrator Will Neumeister, Community Develop Director wlc — FROM: Courtney Bednarz, City Planneo SUBJECT: Consider Conditional Use Permit/Substation Expansion/1635 and 1657 Bunker Lake Blvd. NW - Planning DATE: June 15, 2010 INTRODUCTION Great River Energy and Connexus Energy are proposing to expand the existing substation and provide additional site improvements. Public utility improvements outside of the public right -of- way require a Conditional Use Permit. DISCUSSION A letter describing the scope and need for the project (pages 8 -10) and a plan set (pages 21 -28) are attached. A brief summary of the proposed improvements is provided below: 1. Addition of distribution substation, switch structure at north end of the existing substation 2. Replacement of breakers, switches and transformer 3. Installation of two 100 foot tall shield poles (lightning rods) 4. Expansion of fence along the north side of the substation 5. Relocation of access from Bunker Lake Boulevard (south) to 138 Avenue NW (west). 6. Construction of internal drive lane improvements 7. Providing additional screening and landscaping of the site Review Criteria 12 -14 -6 B. provides the following general criteria for granting conditional use permits: 1. In granting a Conditional Use Permit, the City Council shall consider the advice and recommendation of the Planning 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 on adjacent streets and land. 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. New Distribution Substation This installation is best represented on the attached layout and side elevation drawings (pages 23- 26). The substation itself is contained within an approximately 14.5 by 38 foot prefabricated building. Additional equipment will need to be installed to connect with the existing substation as shown on the plans. Landscaping Plan The attached landscaping plan (page 28) shows the locations of landscaping that was planted last year (in black and white) as well as additional landscaping that is proposed as a part of the current project (in color). A location map near the bottom center of the landscaping plan shows where the various planting areas are located around the site. When comparing area 2 on the landscaping plan with the grading plan you can see an area of existing gravel that is proposed to be replaced with seed and landscaping. The Planning Commission recommended that irrigation be added to the south side of the substation to improve the survival rate of seed and plantings in that area of the site. Great River Energy has provided an additional letter to address this item (page 20). Fence Adjustments The existing fence will be expanded to the north to allow the addition of the new distribution substation and associated site improvements. As indicated in the applicant's letter (pages 8 -10), the fence along Hanson Boulevard is located on the property line. The Anoka County Highway Department would like to avoid planting in the right -of -way. Winter salt spray would also have a negative effect on plantings close to the county road. The applicant's proposal is to provide fence slats along the north and most of the east side of the fence. The southeast corner does not currently show slats as can be viewed between the proposed landscaping on the attached views of the site (page 17). The one inch chain link style of fence and animal prevention panel at the top of this fence is different than the rest of the fencing on the site. The applicant is continuing to investigate the potential for slats to be added to the rest of the east and south sides of the fence. A description of the fence slats is provided in the attachments. Green is the color shown on the plan set. However, a number of different colors are available if the Council has another preference. Additionally, a screening wall was discussed as an alternative to the chain link fence with slats at the Planning Commission meeting. A photograph of an Xcel Energy installation in Apple Valley where a wall was added with expansion of that site several years ago is attached (page 20). Driveway Relocation/Drive Lane Improvements The applicant is seeking to relocate the existing driveway from Bunker Lake Boulevard to 138 Avenue NW to provide safer and more functional access to the site. The applicant is also proposing to gate the new access to provide clear definition between the public street and their site. A permit from the Anoka County Highway Department will be necessary to work within their right -of -way to close the existing access. The applicant intends to pave the new drive lane and provide a gravel area under and around the new distribution substation as shown on the attached grading plan (page 22). They are also requesting a variance to City Code 12 -13 -8 D. 9. to waive curbing requirements as indicated in the attached letter. Findings for the variance inc lude the size, weight and turning movements of the vehicles needed to operate and maintain the site and the fact that the site is not a typical parking area as the City Code intends to regulate. Staff feels this is a reasonable request and recommends approval of the variance. Planning Commission Recommendation The Commission recommended approval of the request with a 3 -1 vote (three members were absent). The motion also recommended approval of the variance to curbing requirements and requested the addition of irrigation for the landscaped area along the south side of the site. The Commissioner voting against the proposal requested that a brick or otherwise opaque solid wall should be provided to provide more permanent screening of the site. The attached resolution (pages 4 -6) has been modified to reflect the Planning Commission's recommendation. ACTION REQUESTED The Council is asked to approve or deny the conditional use permit amendment, including the proposed variance to curbing requirements and any other details the Council may choose to consider.

The size, weight and turning movements of the vehicles needed to operate and maintain the site may conflict with and cause damage to curb along the drive lanes. 2. The site is not a typical parking area as the curbing requirements of the City Code are intended to regulate. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Andover has received the recommendation of the Planning Commission and approves /denies the proposed conditional use permit for expansion of the electrical substation, subject to the following: 1) The project shall conform to the plans stamped received by the City of Andover May 18, 2010. 2) The applicant shall obtain approval of a commercial site plan from the city. 3) The applicant shall obtain a building permit for the foundations of the proposed substation and shield poles. 4) The applicant shall obtain permits from the Anoka County Highway Department and Coon Creek Watershed District as required to implement the proposed project. 5) The cost of modifying 138 Avenue NW to provide an access to the subject property shall be the responsibility of the applicant. 6) A variance to waive the curbing requirement of City Code 12 -13 -8 D. for the proposed drive lane improvements is granted. 7) The applicant shall provide irrigation for the landscaped area along the south side of the site. 8) The Conditional Use Permit shall be su ject to a sunset clause as defined in City Code 12 -14 -6.

Included with this application are plans and drawings that provide details of the location of the proposed addition and modifications. The plans also illustrate some of the visual elements of the existing facility as well as the proposed substation modifications and addition. In addition to the substation improvements described above, Great River Energy requests to modify the point of access to the facility by constructing a new driveway connecting to 138 Avenue which currently terminates at the west property line of this facility. Following the recent Hanson Boulevard and Bunker Lake Boulevard improvement project by Anoka County, along with the addition of the concrete center median, we find the existing driveway along Bunker Lake Boulevard does not provide sufficient width and does not allow for the necessary large turning movements when transporting substation transformers or other heavy equipment transported on long trailers. A new driveway entrance connecting to 138 Avenue would remedy this problem as well as avoiding the potentially dangerous and problematic traffic delays when transporting large loads to and from the substation facility. If approved and once constructed, the existing access driveway along Bunker Lake Boulevard would be abandoned and removed by Great River Energy and the area properly restored to County and City standards. Great River Energy proposes to provide asphalt surfacing on the new driveway, but further requests an exemption from installing concrete curb and gutter. Our experience shows that concrete curbs can cause problems with the large trucks and multiple -axle trailers making complex maneuvers and turning movements that can cause damage to tires as well as the curb and gutter. It is our opinion that the primary driveway can consist of asphalt pavement with the surface runoff designed to drain to the areas located adjacent to the driveway and allowed to percolate into the course native soil. For security purposes, Great River Energy proposes to install a locked swinging gate on the new driveway near its connection with 138 Avenue. The locked security gate is needed to discourage the public from trespassing into the substation property, as copper thefts and other acts of vandalism have become more common in recent years. A Touchstone Energy Cooperative Contains 100 % post consumer waste I� The final element of this application involves the issue of visually screening the facility. Great River Energy has made inquiries to Anoka Co. Hwy. Dept. pertaining to vegetative plantings along Hanson Blvd. It should be noted that most of the easterly segment of the facility fence is situated directly over the westerly right of way line of Hanson Blvd. Consequently, there is no reasonable way to screen the easterly side of the facility by way of vegetative plantings. For this reason, Great River Energy is proposing the install fence slats along the east side of the facility as this does not interfere with the safety and integrity of the high voltage facility, nor does it interfere with the new bituminous trail located in the grass boulevard along the west side of Hanson Blvd. Great River Energy and Connexus Energy are also proposing to plant and establish trees and shrubs on the north, south and southwest sides of the facility as shown on the enclosed Landscaping Plan. CONNEXUS DISTRIBUTION SUB ADDITION The existing distribution substation transformer at Bunker Lake is fully loaded. In order to meet the increasing electric demand and future growth within the City as well as increasing the ability to serve this and surrounding areas in emergency situations, additional capacity as well as additional feeders are required. The existing distribution substation located at the south side of the larger bulk substation facility is small and essentially has no available space for adding more infrastructure. To insure there is sufficient electric capacity available during emergency situations and to provide reliable electric service during the summer peak electric load, the best location for additional distribution facilities should be connected directly to Great River Energy's transmission bus which is located approximately 700 feet north of the existing distribution substation. Further, the proposed distribution substation design includes placing of the switchgear bus inside a metal enclosure. This consists of a 14 foot by 40 foot enclosure that houses the distribution bus, feeder breakers and accessory equipment. This design improves reliability and electrical performance as well as packaging a major portion of the substation equipment. Enclosing the distribution equipment also provides a more esthetically pleasing facility. GREAT RIVER ENERGY BULK SUBSTATION MODIFICATIONS With the addition of the Connexus distribution substation on the north end of the existing bulk substation, Great River Energy will need to mount a switch structure to connect to the Great River Energy owned 69kV ring bus. The switch structure makes possible the connection with the new Connexus distribution substation. Great River Energy also proposes to add two 100 foot tall shield poles. One of the poles will be mounted approx. 45 feet east of the proposed Great River Energy switch structure described above. The second shield pole is proposed to be located 122 feet southerly of the first proposed shield pole. The purpose of these two new shield poles is to protect both the Great River Energy and Connexus owned equipment in the event of a lightning strike. The existing shielding protection system is inadequate to protect the 69kV ring bus from i lightning strikes and has been a reliability issue for quite some time. The first shield pole being located in the northern segment of the bulk substation will also provide necessary lightening protection of the new Connexus distribution transformer. Along with the work described above, Great River Energy intends to perform maintenance upgrades on its 69 kilovolt (kV) ring bus. This includes replacing all four 69 kV breakers with higher rated breakers in the same locations, replacing nine 69 kV switches with similar switches in the same locations, and replacing the existing 230 -69 kV transformer with a new 230 -69 kV transformer. In analyzing the 230 -69 kV transformer replacement, Great River Energy determined the existing access on Bunker Lake Blvd. is inadequate. For this reason Great River Energy is proposing to construct the new access driveway connection to 138 Avenue and located at the west property line of the substation, as described above.

In making its recommendation for approval, the Planning Commission added a condition which would require the applicants to provide an irrigation system to promote successful establishment and growth of the proposed vegetative screening to be located at the south end of the substation facility. The applicants respectfully request the Mayor and City Council to evaluate further the irrigation requirement and waive it as a condition to the permit. In discussing the availability of municipal water with the City Engineer this morning, it appears a dedicated water service line has never been extended into this property since it is a facility that would only require municipal water in very unique circumstances. In order to install a dedicated water service line to this property, the municipal water main along Bunker Lake Boulevard or 138 Street would have to be exposed to facilitate tapping a service line to the municipal water main. We contend this comes at a cost that may not be justified by its purpose. Furthermore, all of the associated back -flow valves, water meters, and other related equipment would essentially be exposed to the elements, thus making it vulnerable to freezing and possible vandalism. This facility is essentially unmanned at all times, so any leaks, equipment failures or vandalism could go undetected for days or weeks. Annual maintenance costs of such a system would be unreasonably high for Great River Energy, particularly given its susceptibility to problems resulting from the absence of employees working on site. As a trade -off for waiving the irrigation requirement, Great River Energy proposes a permit condition whereby we are required to provide manual watering of the new trees and shrubs on a regular or as- needed basis until they become firmly established. We also offer to replace all weak, diseased, or dead trees for a minimum period of two years from the date of initial planting. A TUUCI7S(One Energy' Cooperative Contains 100% post consumer waste C When considering the scope of work that would need to be done just to provide a water service to the property, and the relative limited need for municipal water only during the warm growing season, we believe the irrigation requirement is not a cost - effective means of promoting or insuring a higher survival rate of the trees and shrubs. Great River Energy hereby offers to be held responsible for successful plant establishment and survival by means of manual watering and proper plant care and management techniques. Attached please find a photo that demonstrates very healthy vegetative screening that was established several years ago at a substation located in Ham Lake where soil conditions are very similar to those found at the Bunker Lake substation. The trees and shrubs shown in the photo were established and are continuously maintained without the benefit of an irrigation system. We sincerely appreciate your consideration in our request to waive the irrigation requirement for this permit.

MN. US TO: Mayor and CC: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: Jim Dickinson, City Administrate Will Neumeister, Community Development Director Courtney Bednarz, City Plann+ Consider Changes to City Code 5 -4 Weapons/Hunting Regulations - Planning June 15, 2010 INTRODUCTION Several issues with the current hunting regulations were identified during the 2009 deer season. The Council requested a public hearing process to review hunting regulations. DISCUSSION Background A list of discussion items was generated based on feedback from hunters, property owners and the DNR, as well as from the Council work sessions and public hearings held by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission's recommendation is included in the discussion of each item. Important Note: Several provisions of this ordinance regulate hunting by the size of the property. Recent Council discussions on this topic have focused on properties that are fractionally above or below an acreage requirement. A map is attached on page 15 to show parcel sizes throughout the city. If the Council is interested in incorporating some language on this topic in the ordinance amendment it will need to be added to the attached draft ordinance. 1. Clarification of Hunting Zones Currently the City Code has two identically named `Restricted Zones'. No clarification is provided in the ordinance text and the map contains different regulations for each of these zones. The Planning Commission recommended that the ordinance text contain all of the hunting regulations and that the map provide distinctly named zones for ease of reference. A map comparing the existing and proposed hunting zones and a draft ordinance amendment containing all of the regulations are attached on pages 11 and 6. 2. Revision of Zone Boundaries The boundaries have been adjusted several times since the first hand drawn map was introduced in 1982. In 2000, the restricted zone was divided into two parts to provide the additional restrictions for deer hunting in the southerly area that exist today. Recent urban developments have encroached into both restricted zones. The Planning Commission recommended that the zone boundaries be modified to remove these developments from the hunting zones. The hunting map on page 11 compares the existing and proposed hunting zone boundaries. 3. Updating of Definitions An Andover resident provided the draft ordinance in the blue covered packet on pages 22 -24 to be of assistance in this process. The first suggestions (shown in red) come in the definitions section where modern forms of bows are added to the definition of bow and muzzleloader is added to the definition of rifle. The Planning Commission agreed with the modifications to the definition of bow but did not want to include muzzleloader in the definition of rifle. As the minutes describe, muzzleloaders and rifles are regulated differently by the DNR and the Commission did not want to conflict with those regulations. 4. Minimum Parcel Size for Hunting with Shotguns Currently ten acres is the minimum parcel size for hunting with shotguns in the northerly restricted zone as well as for hunting geese in the southerly restricted zone. Forty acres is the minimum parcel size for hunting deer with shotguns in the southerly restricted zone. The Planning Commission recommended no changes to these requirements although two commissioners were in favor of increasing the minimum parcel size to twenty acres. The following information was reviewed by the Commission: A. The testimony from hunters at the April 13 and May 11 public hearings. The comments indicated that any problems were violations of the existing regulations and increasing the parcel size would not solve them (minutes attached on pages 1 -14 of the blue covered packet. B. Three maps are attached on pages 11 -13 to show how the minimum parcel size and minimum firing distances combine to restrict hunting in the city. C. A newspaper article provided by an Andover resident is attached on pages 18 -20 to show maximum range under perfect conditions. The draft ordinance provided by the resident suggests that 40 acres be the minimum parcel size for hunting deer with a shotgun throughout the city. D. It should also be noted that a resident pointed out that staff had spoken with a majority of property owners with large tracts of land. While these owners indicated ten acres seemed too small to hunt with a shotgun, a change in this regulation would not affect them. It would affect those on properties at ten acres or slightly larger properties. E. A letter received prior to the May I I' meeting from an Andover resident describing their concerns related to hunting. 5. Minimum Firing Distance from Residences for Shotguns in Both Restricted Zones City Code 5 -4 -1 C. presently requires a minimum firing distance of 500 feet from residences for firearms in all hunting areas. DNR regulations stipulate 500 feet from buildings or corrals occupied by humans or livestock. For deer hunting in the southerly restricted zone, City Code 5 -4 -1E. increases the required distance to 1,320 feet (1/4 mile) from any residential development, park or institutional use. L The draft ordinance amendment submitted by an Andover resident suggested this 1 /4 mile regulation apply to deer hunting in all hunting areas. He also suggested a minimum distance of 500 feet from any roadway for goose hunting with shotguns. The Planning Commission recommended no changes to the minimum required firing distances. The fact that both the city and DNR currently have a 500 foot minimum distance was the basis for this recommendation. 6. Minimum Parcel Size for Hunting with Bows in Restricted Zones Currently 2.5 acres is the minimum parcel size for hunting with bows in the restricted zones. No hunting with bows is allowed in the prohibited zone. A group of residents in the Barnes Rolling Oaks neighborhood has asked to be able to hunt on their 2.5 acre properties. Under the current regulations hunting in this area of the city would only be allowed with a special exemption approved by the City Council. The Commission recommended that bow hunting be allowed on all properties in the city with a minimum of 2.5 acres. Two members also expressed that some additional regulation may be necessary for rural lots adjacent to urban neighborhoods. This is the most substantial change recommended by the Commission. By looking at the attached map on page 15, the Council will be able to see the areas where 2.5 acre or larger properties exist and where they are located adjacent to urban neighborhoods. 7. Minimum Firing Distance From Residences for Bows City Code 5 -4 -1 C. presently requires a minimum firing distance of 150 feet from residences for bows. While arrows can travel significantly further than this distance, this type of hunting is usually done from an elevated position with discharges directed toward the ground. Additionally, few hunters would attempt to fire at a target more than 40 yards away. The Commission recommended no change to the minimum firing distance for bows, although two commissioners were in favor of increasing the distance to 300 feet. 8. Prohibited Zone Some of the input that has been received centers on whether some hunting should be allowed on larger parcels in the prohibited zone. In one case a farm has issues with geese and some management of their population is needed. Staff suggested that hunting in the prohibited zone be allowed only under the exemption allowed by approval of the Council under City Code 5 -4 F. 2. As mentioned above, the Commission recommended expanding the area where bow hunting is allowed to all properties in the city with 2.5 acres or larger properties. No changes were proposed to the area where hunting with a firearm is allowed. 9. City Permit for Deer Hunting The City Code currently requires a city permit to hunt deer in the southerly restricted zone and limits who can hunt deer to property owners and immediate family members. This requirement was added to the City Code in 2000 in response to an issue discussed in the August 15, 2000 minutes attached on pages 15 -18 of the blue covered attachment. Most residents staff spoke with favor a city permit requirement for deer hunting and encouraged it to be expanded to include all areas where deer hunting is allowed in the city. 3 Those in favor of requiring a permit for deer hunting indicate that it allows the city to keep track of who is hunting and ensures each hunter will get a copy of the regulations and map. Those opposed to this requirement felt property owners should know who is hunting on their land and call the sheriff's office if there are trespassers. Since this regulation was established in 2000, the city has issued one or two permits each year for the southerly restricted zone. The Commission recommended that the permit requirement be eliminated as practice has shown it to not be an effective tool in regulating deer hunting. 10. Immediate Family Restriction for Deer Hunting with Shotguns in the Southerly Restricted Zone Some input has been received that this provision is too restrictive. Please note that bow hunting of deer and hunting of geese in the southern restricted zone does not carry this same restriction. The only type of hunting that is limited to property owners and immediate family members in the southerly restricted zone is deer hunting with a shotgun. The Planning Commission discussed the fact that deer population needs to be controlled and landowners and family members may not wish to or be able to hunt. The Commission recommended that this restriction be eliminated. 11. Written Permission from 50% of Surrounding Landowners for Deer Hunting in the Southerly Restricted Zone In addition to other requirements specific to deer hunting in the southerly restricted zone, the City Code also requires written permission from at least 50% of the surrounding landowners. The Commission recommended removing this restriction based on the minimum parcel size and firing distances already in place. 12. Council Exemption and DNR Support The current ordinance gives the Council the authority to allow special hunts. However, the provision includes a requirement for these hunts receive support from the DNR. In speaking with the DNR wildlife management office, they indicated that the DNR supports any hunting consistent with state law and would rather not be involved in the enforcement of local ordinances. The Commission recommended the reference to the DNR be changed to require compliance with state regulations. Additionally, the DNR expressed concern that the area proposed to be purchased by Anoka County with state funding in the northwestern part of the city remain open to hunting. The current and draft ordinances allow hunting with a bow and firearm on these large parcels. The Planning Commission discussed the possibility that the purchase may not occur, that there is currently no conflict with the code and recommended that no changes be made related to this item. In the event the county purchases the property City Code 5 -4 -1 C.2. would prohibit hunting on this county property unless an exemption is approved by the Council or a separate provision is added. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Anoka County Sheriffs Office The Sheriff's Office indicated that there have been four complaints related to hunting over the last two years. Two of the complaints involved goose hunting on Round Lake. One citation was y issued. A third complaint involved shooting of squirrels immediately north of 157' Avenue NW. No citation was issued. The fourth complaint involved a report of shots fired in the northwest corner of the city in an area of less than 10 acre lots. No one was found in the subsequent search. ACTION REQUESTED The Council is asked to review the information provided and determine if the draft ordinance amendment on pages 6 -9 should be approved, modified or discussed further. If the Council approves an ordinance amendment, please approve the summary ordinance as well so that it can be published in the newspaper.

Commissioners present: Chairperson Daninger (arrived at 7:45 p.m.), Commissioners Michael Casey, Dennis Cleveland, Lynae Gudmundson, Valerie Holthus, Tim Kirchoff and Devon Walton. Commissioners absent: None. Also present: City Planner, Courtney Bednarz Others APPROVAL OFMINUTES. April 13, 2010 Motion by Casey, seconded by Walton, to approve the minutes as presented. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent ( Daninger) vote. PUBLIC HEARING: CITY CODE AMENDMENT TO CONSIDER CHANGES TO CITY CODE 5-4 WEAPONS TO UPDATE HUNTING REGULATIONS. Mr. Bednarz noted the Commission received a lot of public input and made significant progress in reaching a consensus on the discussion items at the last meeting. The Commission wanted to discuss items 4, 6 and 8 further before making a recommendation to the Council. Mr. Bednarz reviewed the proposed Ordinance changes with the Commission. The Public Hearing was carried forward from the previous meeting. Mr. Luke Davich, 2780 South Coon Creek Drive, stated he has ten acres and the way things are set up now, he cannot even bow hunt on his property. He did not believe he should be restricted on his property. He noted he sees deer on his property daily and Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — May 11, 2010 Page 2 feeds them. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if Mr. Davich was currently in an area where all hunting is restricted. Mr. Davich indicated he was. Mr. Davich thought the restriction was ridiculous especially for bow hunting deer. He indicated he was at the meeting to get the restriction removed. He stated he used to work at Federal Cartridge and he knew a lot about ammunition and distance and a shotgun with a slug is not going to hurt anyone where he lives. Mr. Davich stated he purchased his property because of all the wildlife in the area and he cannot do anything on the land. Mr. Bednarz asked Mr. Davich what type of hunting he was proposing. He stated he would prefer shot gun and slugs for deer but his kids like to use bow hunting because in his opinion no one will get hurt. Mr. Don Wilson, 14920 University Avenue NW, stated the last time they were at the meeting they were discussing 2.5 acres and self imposed some rules the residents could accept. They have also gone around and had a petition signed by people in the area that this would involve and they have 16 signatures out of 47 so far. They are trying to get bow hunting allowed in their area because 2.5 acres should be sufficient and it was his understanding that north of 161 Avenue hunting is allowed on 2.5 acres. He thought if others are allowed to hunt on 2.5 acres he should be able to hunt on his too. He did not think where the parcel is located should matter. He would like to be able to hunt using a bow only while in a tree stand so nothing will be hurt if he were to shoot downward and miss, the bow would go into the ground and not onto another parcel of land. He noted that even the people that said no, three so far, indicated there were too many deer in the area and that something needed to be done but they did not want to shoot the deer themselves. Mr. Lee Packer, 3074 161 Avenue, stated he was at the meeting when the Ordinance was originally passed and the understanding he had for the Ordinance changes was that there were people out hunting in areas where they should not be but what heard was that they were people from other cities coming up to hunt. Since the ordinance passed he has been to the City to get his permit and had his neighbor's sign that it would be fine for him to hunt. He would rather not have to do this but he would rather hunt than not. He wanted to make sure nothing changes in his area. He stated they have had a problem with deer eating their crops and in the past have hunted the deer to lower their numbers. He would like to avoid having to get permission from the neighbors but he would still come in and get a permit from the City to hunt. He stated he would rather have it stay slightly restrictive now and have it keep going then to eliminate everything and have problems come up and then have hunting taken away completely. Motion by Walton, seconded by Casey, to close the public hearing at 7:30 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Daninger) vote. The Commission reviewed Items 1 -3 and agreed the changes were acceptable. z Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — May 11, 2010 Page 3 Mr. Davich asked what chance there was of getting the ordinance changed to allow hunting on their property. Vice Chairperson Kirchoff indicated they will be discussing this. The Commission reviewed Item 4; minimum parcel size for hunting with shotguns, and discussed their opinions. Commissioner Casey was in concurrence that ten acres was sufficient size for a shotgun. Commissioners Cleveland and Gudmundson disagreed and felt the acreage should be larger. Commissioner Gudmundson stated she was not sure about what the size should be. She reviewed some of the other cities she looked at regarding size. She thought they had already agreed to leave the distance alone and seems as if they want to stick with the 500' minimum firing distance that by increasing the minimum parcel size they basically do the same thing as if they had wider distances. It offers more protection. She suggested increasing the size to 20+ acres. Commissioner Walton thought they should leave this at 10 acres and 2.5 was too small. Commissioner Casey agreed they needed to keep this at 10 acres and then keeping it with the 500 foot distance from occupied structures which is structured from the DNR. Commissioner Holthus agreed. Commissioner Gudmundson did not think 10 acres would be sufficient for shotguns, especially when looking at the dimensions in the examples and the article describing how far a slug travels. There were two Commissioners in favor of 20 acres and four Commissioners to leave the acreage at 10 acres. The Commission reviewed Item 5; minimum firing distance for hunting with bows, and agreed with the proposed changes. The Commission reviewed Items 6 and 7 concerning bow hunting and discussed their opinions. Chairperson Daninger arrived at 7:45 p.m. Commissioner Gudmundson asked if the DNR sets the 150 feet for distance. Mr. Bednarz indicated they did not and it is a local requirement. He reviewed what the DNR requirements were regarding hunting. Commissioner Gudmundson thought they were focusing more on the acreage and not the distance. She thought they should leave this one and move to the acreage one. She 3 Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —May]], 2010 Page 4 wondered if they should look at more cities and find out if the City is being too lenient and possibly opening themselves up for some dangerous situations. Commissioner Cleveland indicated he was on 2.5 acres and placed his home in the center and he thought 150 feet was too close for him. He noticed some of the other cities for this particular kind of ordinance have 300 feet which would effectively eliminate all the hunting with bows on 2.5 acre parcels and he would be in favor of 300 feet instead of 150 feet. Commissioner Kirchoff stated this would not restrict the property owner if expanded to a larger acreage. The Commission felt 2.5 acres was fine to hunt with bow. Five commissioners felt the 150 feet buffer was sufficient. Two commissioners were in favor of increasing the minimum firing distance from structures for bow hunting. Commissioner Gudmundson did not feel 150 feet was a large enough buffer. Commissioner Casey felt 150 feet was more than adequate for bow hunting. The Commission reviewed Item 8; the prohibited hunting zone and discussed their opinions. Commissioner Cleveland stated he was not in favor of changing the status of any parcel in a prohibited zone. Commissioner Gudmundson agreed. Commissioner Walton disagreed and felt they had more potential problems for wildlife, vehicles and people if they cannot hunt in these areas. He thought they should be allowed to hunt with bow only on 2.5 acres whether on prohibited zone areas or not. Commissioner Cleveland stated he was not in favor of redrawing the map and there will not be an impact on the deer herds on 2.5 acres. He felt the deer will weed themselves out because they will starve to death if not hunted. Commissioner Cleveland felt this item should be left alone. Commissioner Kirchoff supported changing the 2.5 acres and did not think going to the Council for a special exemption on each plot would do any good; it will just take up the Council's time. Councilmember Casey agreed as long as it is for bow hunting only. Commissioner Walton agreed, Commissioner Gudmundson indicated she was against it. Commissioner Holthus stated she was worried about bow hunting on a 2.5 acre plot next to an urban development. She felt the City needed to have a consistent ruling on where one can bow hunt and she felt 2.5 acres was fine but she did not know what the solution to that would be if they are next to R -4 parcels but she would be open to looking at that. She noted it was illegal for an arrow to go across the property line if you do not have permission to hunt on the neighbors land. �f Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —May 11, 2010 Page 5 The Commission reviewed Items 9 -12 and agreed the changes in the draft ordinance amendment were acceptable. Mr. Bednarz stated in discussions with the DNR, one concern the wildlife manager indicated was land that Anoka County was intending to purchase land along Cedar Creek and the Rum River, part of which is in Andover, with State and Federal funding and they would require hunting to be allowed. Right now that example on the map, hunting is allowed. The DNR's concern was that there not be a local requirement that restricts hunting on State funded and purchased land. He wanted to know if the Commission wanted to write into the code that State funded land purchased would allow hunting or be aware of that so that if changes occur in the future that it is not prohibited. It is not being prohibited now but they could go a step further and write it into the Code as a safeguard. Commissioner Kirchoff thought this should be mentioned somehow so if it does come up in the future it will be looked at. Commissioner Walton thought they could add some language to the Code for future reference so it does not get forgotten about. Chairperson Daninger thought they should leave it alone at this time. Commissioner Casey agreed because things could change in the future. The consensus of the Commission was to make no change at this time. Motion by Walton, seconded by Casey, to recommend to the City Council approval of the draft amendment for changes to City Code 5 -4 Weapons to updated hunting regulations to reflect the discussions. Motion carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote. Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the June 1, 2010 City Council meeting. OTHER B USINESS. Mr. Bednarz updated the Planning Commission on related items. ADJOURNMENT. Motion by Walton, seconded by Kirchoff, to adjourn the meeting at 8:45 p.m. Motion carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote. Respectfully Submitted, Sue Osbeck, Recording Secretary Timesaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc. rA Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —April 13, 2010 Page 4 PUBLICHEARING: CITYCODEAMENDMENT TO CONSIDER CHANGES TO CITYCODE 5-4 WEAPONS TO UPDATE HUNTING REGULATIONS Mr. Bednarz reviewed the proposal with the Commission. He clarified it was not the intention of the City to prohibit hunting in the City but rather to clarify the regulations. He outlined the points to be discussed: 1. Clarification of the hunting zones — determining a unique name for each zone. 2. Potential for revision of zone boundaries. 3. Updating Definitions 4. Minimum parcel size for hunting with shot guns. 5. Minimum firing distance from residences with a shot gun. 6. Minimum parcel size for bow hunting. 7. Minimum firing distance from residences for bow hunting. 8. The prohibited zone, which does not allow for hunting, except by special permission from the Council. There has been interest in having some type of hunting allowed in this area for wildlife management. 9. City permit requirements for deer hunting. 10. Immediate family restriction for deer hunting. 11. Written permission from 50% of the neighboring properties for deer hunting. 12. The Council exemption and DNR support. Motion by Walton, Seconded by Kirchoff, to open the public hearing. Motion carried on a 7- ayes, 0 -nays vote. Mr. Dave Pearson, 17382 Flintwood Street, Ham Lake, stated he hunts the Fields property currently because this is his immediate family. He goose hunts and bow hunts this area. He stated that last year there were only two people who acquired hunting permits from the City last year but there were more than two people hunting in that area. He indicated that he has not gotten a permit from the City in the past because he does not agree he should have to ask for permission to hunt in an area that it is permitted to hunt. He also stated there has been several incidences of trespassing and people are getting close to homes while they are hunting and it is getting to a point where people are not being safe. He clarified that if an area is legal to hunt by the DNR with either a shotgun or rifle then the City should make it legal as well. The only question should be if it is safe to hunt with rifle slugs. Mr. Ray Sowada, 14921 Butternut Street, stated he has 2.5 acres just south of a hunting area. He stated his attitude is that since the residents to the north of him are allowed to bow hunt deer with 2.5 acres he should be able to as well. Mr. Don Wilson, 14920 University Avenue, stated he has 2.8 acres and he is currently spending a lot of money to keep the deer out of his garden. The Council determined the cost to have the DNR count the deer was excessive and he does not agree with having a sharp shooter come and hunt his land. If he cannot hunt it then he does not want someone else hunting it. He suggested the following rules for deer hunting: only hunt from a tree stand that is a minimum of twelve feet, Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — April 13, 2010 Page 5 always shoot down not straight across, get permission from property owner to track a deer, only field dress a deer on your own property, only the property owners could hunt the property, and only shoot doe. In the past a property owner could bow hunt deer if you had 2.5 acres and he would like to see this be the case again. Mr. John Wallace, 17564 Ward Lake Drive, stated he has been hunting in Andover for a number of years and he is currently using a muzzleloader. He has not heard of any problems as far as people getting shot or people shooting at homes. He questioned why the City was looking at revising these regulations at this time. He also stated that it would not be cost effective for the City to bring in sharp shooters to control the number of deer but they could allow residents to hunt their own property. Mr. Mark Jones, 2127 167' Avenue NW, stated the City has a growing turkey population and cutting hunting will affect this as well. He stated those people that are currently hunting their property are careful and hopefully courteous hunters. He stated he did not want to lose a right he currently has. Mr. Tony Howard, 2119 156' Avenue NW, stated an issue is the distance from the property line. He suggested the minimum distance be measured from the property lines rather than structure. He also suggested hunters ensure projectiles do not leave the property they are hunting. He expressed concerns for those traveling on City streets as well as neighboring property owners. He questions whether ten acres was enough to allow hunting with a shotgun and still maintain public safety. Mr. Steve MacGlover, 14909 University Avenue, Ham Lake, stated his family owns 80 acres in Andover and there is a deer and turkey problem. His family is trying to farm this land but because of the deer they have been unable to make a profit. He stated there is a need for wildlife management within the City. He stated the regulations do need to be reviewed for some changes but he suggested removing the requirement that a property owner get a permit from the City to hunt their own land and also the requirement that a property owner get permission from 50% of the neighboring properties. He does not believe shutting the hunting down is a good idea for the City since no one else is controlling the wildlife population. Mr. Harvey Matthies, 2857 172 °d Avenue NW, stated he had 2.9 acres but because of the way the properties are laid out there is not enough distance between the homes to allow for hunting. He stated that he had someone hunting near his property illegally. He had called the Sheriff but the Sheriff did not know what the regulations were for distance and nothing was done regarding the individual who was hunting his property illegally. He would like to see the distance requirement changed to be 500 feet from the property line not structure. Mr. Sowada stated two years ago the DNR passed a law that a big game license covered deer hunting with a bow in zone 601, which is the metropolitan area. Mr. Jones reminded the Commission that there is a problem currently with wildlife management 7 Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —April 13, 2010 Page 6 and restricting the hunting more will increase this problem. Mr. Howard suggested the city permit be required to have people notify the City where they are hunting to increase the safety. This way also if the Sheriff is dispatched to an area they will know if a person is hunting a piece of property illegally. Motion by Walton, Seconded by Casey, to close the public hearing at 8:14 p.m. Motion carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays vote. Mr. Bednarz summarized the concerns of the residents who spoke. This included concerns about hunters that are violating the current regulations but most of the speakers felt there was not a need for dramatic changes with the ordinance. Commissioner Holthus asked for clarification on what were the lawful hunting zones on the map with the urban developments that was presented. Mr. Bednarz stated there was no legal hunting in the new urban development areas that were encroaching into the hunting zones because of the minimum distance requirements. There was a unique situation with the Woodland Crossing townhomes that were constructed. There is enough acreage in the common area that would allow for bow hunting according to the current regulations. Commissioner Holthus suggested changing this area to a non - hunting zone, or yellow color according to the map. Chair Daninger agreed with Commissioner Holthus and suggested changing the hunting zone boundaries and define these areas as areas where hunting is prohibited. Chair Daninger stated Item 1 referred to renaming the hunting zones in order to differentiate between the two areas. He asked for input. Mr. Bednarz stated he had been using restricted zone -north and restricted zone -south during the presentation as a way to differentiate between the two. There was a consensus with the Planning Commission to designate the zones as north and south. Chair Daninger asked for comments regarding the definition for muzzleloader. Mr. Bednarz stated the terms rifle and muzzleloader are interchanged frequently. DNR regulates where you can hunt with a rifle just north of Andover. There are muzzleloaders and shotguns that are used south of this line at this time. The suggestion is to include a muzzleloader in the rifle definition is not recommended because these are two differently regulated items. Commissioner Kirchoff suggested using the DNR regulations as a guideline. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —April 13, 2010 Page 7 Chair Daninger stated the DNR is the guidance for many of the regulations the City has regarding hunting. He clarified the DNR has different definitions for muzzleloader rifle versus shotgun load. Chair Daninger stated a muzzleloader shoots the same distance as a shotgun and the DNR considers the muzzleloader like a shotgun. Mr. Bednarz stated this was correct. Chair Daninger stated he would recommend staying with the DNR regulations and not define a muzzleloader as a rifle. It was the consensus of the Commission to not include muzzleloader in the definition of rifle. Chair Daninger asked for Commission input regarding the minimum parcel size for hunting with a shotgun. The minimum size is currently 10 acres but there was a suggestion to increase this. He also clarified the minimum distance from a residence home is 500 feet. Mr. Bednarz clarified the ordinance states a minimum distance of 500 feet from any residence, DNR regulations are 500 feet from any structure. Chair Daninger stated there had been a suggestion of changing this requirement to a minimum distance of 500 feet from the property line. Mr. Bednarz explained the current ordinance restricts any projectile from leaving the property. The question is if the minimum 10 acre size and 500 feet from a structure allows enough area for shotgun hunting deer and geese. Commissioner Casey stated this could be looked into further. At this time he is in favor of keeping it at 10 acres and a minimum of 500 feet from a structure. Commissioner Walton stated it is important to be consistent with the State Statutes. The 10 acres and 500 -foot minimum seems to be consistent with the State. Chair Daninger clarified the State only specifies 500 feet from a structure and the City is adding the 10 acre minimum. He further stated there has not been an issue with the minimums and there are State regulations is place to control the need for a larger minimum area. Commissioner Walton the City needs to draw the line from regulating common sense and courtesy. Commissioner Holthus asked Mr. Bednarz if he had talked to all of the property owners with 10 or more acres and if they all thought the minimum acreage should be increased. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —April 13, 2010 Page 8 Mr. Bednarz stated he talked with most of the property owners that own significant acreage but not a majority of property owners with 10 acres. Large property owners all indicated that 10 acres was too small of an area to allow for hunting with a shotgun. Commissioner Holthus stated she would be in favor of increasing the minimum acres requirement. Commissioner Cleveland agreed with Commissioner Holthus. Chair Daninger polled the Commission. Chair Daninger, Commissioners Casey, Walton, and Kirchoff are in favor of keeping the minimum acre requirement at 10 acres. Commissioners Holthus and Cleveland are in favor of increasing the minimum. Commissioner Gudmundson is unsure at this time. Commissioner Gudmundson stated she would tend to think that 10 acres is too small of an area but there was not a strong argument for or against this. Chair Daninger summarized four members were in favor of leaving the minimum at 10 acres and two and a half would like to see the minimum increase. He clarified if there was a need for a definite answer the Commission could work through this. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if the minimum firing distance of 500 feet was a State regulation. Mr. Bednarz clarified this was in the State regulations. Commissioner Kirchoff stated if this was changed to read a minimum distance of 500 feet from the property line then the minimum width of a property has to be 1000 feet in order for a person to hunt on it. Commissioner Walton pointed out there is also a lot of ambiguity when referencing property lines versus a structure that is in place. Chair Daninger agreed with keeping the City regulations consistent with the DNR regulations. It was the consensus of the Commission to keep the minimum distance at 500 feet from a structure. Mr. Bednarz stated there were additional restrictions in the restricted zone -south. These restrictions are a person must be a quarter mile from a development, park or institutional use for hunting deer with a shotgun. Commissioner Walton asked if the restrictions changed for flight animals such as geese or to Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —April 13, 2010 Page 9 turkeys. Mr. Bednarz showed a map for goose hunting areas. There are larger areas where goose hunting would still be allowed but on the easterly side the hunting would be limited due to the parcel sizes being smaller than 10 acres. He clarified the maps being presented represent the regulations as they are currently written. Chair Daninger expressed concerns with the rifle slug is different than that of a shotgun and he wants to be sure the restrictions that are in place are keeping the residents safe. Commissioner Walton stated if the State was providing guidance on these distances and if the City was following the States regulations then they should be keeping the residents safe. Mr. Bednarz stated the regulations do follow what the State regulations are in the northerly hunting zone. The City is already more restrictive in the southerly hunting zone with the quarter mile firing distance and other regulations. Commissioner Cleveland stated he is okay with leaving the distance requirements as they are at this time. He would not be in favor of lowering these and raising the requirements would shut out hunting in these areas. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to leave the distance requirements at 500 feet of a structure and a quarter mile in the locations indicated. Chair Daninger clarified the Commission has not discussed turkeys yet and there was a lot of concerns expressed by the residents about bow hunting on 2.5 acres. Commissioner Holthus pointed out there were concerns expressed about the safety of people traveling on Hanson Boulevard. Mr. Bednarz stated the draft ordinance provided by Mr. Howard included a restriction of being 500 feet from a road for firing a shotgun but the City already has a restriction within the ordinance about projectiles leaving the property. Chair Daninger clarified if a hunter shoots across a road then the projectile would be leaving the property and be in violation of the City's ordinance. Mr. Bednarz stated the minimum acre requirement to bow hunt is 2.5 acres but those properties that are located in the prohibited zone are not allowed to hunt unless they get permission from the City Council. In the restricted hunting zones the minimum size requirement is 2.5 acres and 150 feet from a structure. He also stated there are no similar DNR restrictions for bow hunting. He asked the Commission if 2.5 acres was enough area. Chair Daninger asked what the 150 feet means to the City. He asked if this would restrict those /( Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —April 13, 2010 Page 10 residents with 2.5 acres. He also asked if the gold zones should be changed to allow for bow hunting. Mr. Bednarz stated Staff could provide a map to the Commission that reflects the 150 feet requirement on those properties in question. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to direct Staff to bring a map to the next meeting outlining the effects of a 150 -foot requirement and this would allow the Commission to determine if 2.5 acres is sufficient. Mr. Bednarz stated the next point of discussion is the City permit requirement for deer hunting in the south restricted zone. He clarified that a person can only apply for the permit if they own the land or are immediate family of the landowner, have permission from 50% of the neighboring properties. He asked the Commission if the permit requirement should be kept and/or should it be expanded to require all hunting in the City to require a permit as suggested by a resident earlier. Commissioner Casey suggested leaving the requirements as they are currently. Commissioner Walton asked if the landowner would be able to give permission to someone other than immediate family to hunt on their land. Mr. Bednarz clarified the way the ordinance is written at this time only the landowner or immediate family can apply for and obtain a permit to hunt their land. They are not able to give permission to a third party to hunt on their property. Commissioner Walton stated with the growing issue with deer and growing issue with turkeys he is in favor of expanding who can hunt on the property. If the property owner says it is okay and they get a permit from the City and the property owner signs off on it then it should be allowed. Commissioner Kirchoff stated there are not many properties in these zones. He suggested asking the property owners what they would like to see regarding the requirement that only the property owner or immediate family can hunt on the property. Commissioner Walton stated if the Commission did not change this requirement it does not allow for property owners to solve their wildlife issues without having to hunt the property themselves. Commissioner Gudmundson asked what the difference would be if the property owner did the hunting or if they signed off on having someone else do the hunting because there would still be only one person doing the hunting. Commissioner Cleveland stated in this situation there tends to be more than one person hunting then. /Z Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —April 13, 2010 Page 11 Commissioner Gudmundson stated the property owner would need to give permission. Chair Daninger stated with or without a permit a person would need permission to hunt on someone's property. He suggested removing the permit requirement completely from the regulations. Commissioner Gudmundson stated the permit requirement was put into place because the southern portion of the City was more urbanized and there was some concern for safety. She stated treating the north and south section differently makes sense. Commissioner Cleveland stated he would be in favor of leaving the permit requirement in the regulations and not allow people outside of the property owner or immediate family to hunt on the property. Commissioner Kirchoff stated he would agree with Chair Daninger and remove the permit requirement and allow the property owner the ability to determine who hunts of the property. Commissioner Walton stated he agreed with Chair Daninger and Commissioner Kirchoff. Commissioner Gudmundson stated she would be in favor of keeping the permit requirement in the regulations but allow the property owner the flexibility to allow others to hunt on the property. Commissioner Casey stated he would favor removing the permit requirement from the ordinance. Commissioner Holthus stated she would favor removing the permit process from the ordinance as well. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to remove the permit requirement from the ordinance. Mr. Bednarz stated the next point for discussion is the requirement of having permission from 50% of the neighboring properties. He stated with all the other regulations in place the question was asked whether it is necessary to include this in the ordinance. Commissioner Kirchoff pointed out if the permit process was eliminated from the ordinance then this would not be a requirement. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to remove the requirement of having permission from 50% of the neighboring properties in order to hunt on your property. Mr. Bednarz stated the final point of discussion was the Council exemption and this requires the DNR support. The DNR does not want to be involved in the local regulations. If the regulations i3 Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —April 13, 2010 Page 12 meet the State laws established by the DNR there answer will be the same every time. He asked if this needed to be included as part of the Council Exemption. Commissioner Kirchoff stated it does not need to be included. Commissioner Walton stated this could be determined by the City Council. Commissioner Cleveland suggested changing the reference to compliance. Mr. Bednarz stated they do want to include a reference that the DNR regulations are followed. Commissioner Cleveland stated this would be sufficient to cover this. Mr. Bednarz encouraged the Planning Commission to reopen the public hearing and continue the item to next month to allow a draft ordinance to be brought forward. Commissioner Cleveland suggested getting input from the Sheriff's Department about the enforcement of this type of thing and the resolution to these calls. Chair Daninger stated the clearer the regulations the easier it will be to enforce. Motion by Cleveland, Seconded by Walton to reopen the public hearing.

AMEND ORDINANCE NO 240, FIREARMBOW DISCHARGE Mr. Carlberg reviewed the proposed amendment to Ordinance No. 240 - An Ordinance Regulating the Discharge of Firearms and Bows. The amendment basically sets 161st Avenue NW as the boundary prohibiting the discharge of firearms and bows south of it except in restricted areas. He reviewed the map indicating where firearms would be permitted south of 161st Avenue on parcels of land ten acres or more solely to shoot geese during the early Goose Season and waterfowl during the Waterfowl Season. Bow hunting would be permitted on parcels 2.5 acres or larger. The Commission was concerned with the overlap of the waterfowl season interfering with deer season. Some Commissioners felt a line should be drawn between the seasons. Those voting no were concerned with the shotguns used for waterfowl in the same area when deer bunting season is open. Waterfowl hunters wear camouflage; deer hunters wear blaze orange. The hunting seasons are established by the DNR and are not mentioned in the ordinance. Councilmember Orttel noted that /6� Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - August 15, 2000 Page 4 (Amend Ordinance No. 240, FirearmlBotiv Discharge, Continued) issue has existed in the past. The reason for looking at the issue was not for the safety of the hunters but for the concerns of the neighbors and the fear of safety from bullets while in their yards. Mr. Carlberg noted the proposed amendment was discussed with the Sheriff's Department. It was felt the enforcement will be better with a clearly defined boundary. The DNR has to approve the change, though they reviewed this and are in agreement with its enforceability. Councilmember Orttel stated the zones are being set up for the honest people. There are still jagged boundary lines, so he questioned the ease of enforcement. The only thing this does is limit deer hunting. The problem is in isolated properties and in areas adjacent to housing areas. The proposal makes it impossible for someone with 40 to 80 acres south of 161st to hunt. He proposed establishing a system where those on 40 or more acres could get a permit from the City to hunt deer with guns if certain criteria is met. Only the landowner and/or his immediately family could hunt and permission would be needed from half of the neighbors. The police would be given maps showing where permits have been issued, thinking it wouldn't make it any harder to enforce. The City is rapidly approaching an overpopulation of deer, and the proposed amendment would not make a dent in that population. Larissa Amtz. 2381 155th - stated the petition has the support of three to four neighborhoods that border the faun area. The problem they are having is controlling people that are hunting. It is the poaching and hunters chasing wounded deer onto their private properties. She understood the idea of permits, but stated the City is growing. There is hunting where the new school is going in. A gentleman in Woodland Estates was hit while on his roof. Someone in Woodland Estates made the statement that looking out the bedroom window, they saw hunters coming from everywhere. She didn't understand how there could be hunting bordering those homes. Chris Hines, 15260 Nightingale - worked on the farms for about 10 years and can see both sides. He agrees to some extent with the shot gun and slugs because they carry quite a distance. He agrees with the waterfowl hunting and agrees with Councilmember Orttel's suggestion for permits for large land owners to be able to hunt. He doesn't hunt geese any more because there are too many people. ` is a lot of agricultural damage caused by deer, so there is a need to keep them in check. Tony Howard, 2119 156th - stated the biggest thing is safety. He called Federal Cartridge today. The ordinance says 500 feet away from any structure. He'd like to see it changed. A three -inch slug will only fall two feet in 200 yards. He'd like to see it outlawed. He's okay with bow and arrow hunting to cut down the deer herd, because it is not as much of a safety issue. He was told if a slug is shot, it can travel 1,600 feet. A lot of the property is 100 to 200 feet to the back yards, so 500 feet in the ordinance isn't enough. He hoped the Council will not allow slug hunting, because nothing will stop it unless it hits a tree. He'd like to see the ordinance say to the property line, not to a structure. With the high school coming in, he'd hate to see an accident that could be prevented. He also learned that the shot for geese will travel 980 feet, so 500 feet from a structure for geese isn't enough either. _. _ A0 Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - August 15, 2000 Page 5 (Amend Ordinance No. 240, Firearm/Bow Discharge, Continued) Lee Packer, 3074 161st Avenue - preferred that either the 80 acres on the corner of Round Lake Boulevard and 161st be excluded or that some kind of permit be allowed. He is outside of the MUSA through the year 2020, and there are no plans to develop near his home. If that happens, he is open to restricting hunting on his land. Now he is surrounded by 80 acres east and peat to the south. He hunts only on his land and does not allow anyone else to hunt there because he doesn't feel safe with other hunters there. He'd be willing to ask anyone who signed the petition if he could hunt. He hunts on a stand and shoots toward the ground. The shells never leave his property line. The land has been in his family for many years. He realizes at some point he will not be able to hunt there, but that is not the case today. He requested the boundary be changed to allow him to hunt on his land or come up with a permitting process on 80 acres or more. Steve McGlover. 14909 University - has 80 acres in Andover and 110 acres in Ham Lake. They don't allow anyone else to hunt on their land. They do have a deer problem in there. More deer are killed in Anoka County by cars than by deer hunters. Last year they could shoot 5 deer per permit because of the overpopulation. They feel they should be able to help control the deer population. He never saw the petition. All of the concerns seem to be coming from the Round Lake area or west of there. He should be able to hunt on his land. He agrees with Councilmember Orttel's suggestion to get a permit. Goose hunters fire more shots than deer hunters, at least in his area. Don Bower. 14570 Jonquil - represented the goose hunters. They can hunt right across from where he lives. When hunting, they get permission and try to keep their shooting to the east. The emphasis is on safety first because they don't want anyone to get hurt. They get permission from Ken Slyzuk, which provides an opportunity to keep the geese population down. Regarding the overlapping season, waterfowl hunters are required to wear orange until they get to the blind, then they can take it off. The lake is generally frozen over and the geese gone when deer hunting season starts. He suggested a cheap $2 permit to know who is hunting out there. He hoped they will get the opportunity to keep hunting here. Mr. Carlberg stated there is nothing in place for the City to issue permits for hunters. Staff would have to do some investigation. He didn't think it would be an extensive process. Then the Sheriff s Department would have a record of those permits as well. Councilmember Jacobson was concerned with the suggestion of allowing deer hunting by permits below 161st Avenue, thinking it will create problems with enforcement. The ordinance amendment is for the safety of the people living in the houses nearby. The City is growing, and he felt what was presented by the Planning Commission is reasonable. He preferred the amendment as written, Councilmember Orttel reiterated his proposal to allow guns for deer hunting on the larger parcels, noting the safety concerns are both real and perceived. There are problems with both types of hunting. Goose hunting is perceived to be less dangerous, but both are dangerous. He also predicted there will still be people hunting whether its legal or not. They trespass. He liked the idea of permits for deer hunting only for landowners because that creates responsibility on their part of what happens /-I Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes -August 15, 2000 Page 6 (Amend Ordinance No. 240, Firearm/Bow Discharge, Continued) out there. It is also a property rights issue. Plus, the proposed boundary between the hunting and no hunting areas is not straight. Adding the large parcels should not create any more confusion. Mayor McKelvey liked the idea of permitting the hunting of deer on the larger parcels, noting the problems with the large deer population in the City. Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Johnson, introducing the ordinance as prepared with the following amendment, that the City consider permitting deer hunting with shot gun slugs in the restricted goose hunting zones providing the following: on parcels over 40 acres in size; parcels whose borders are at least one - fourth mile from any urban type development, that being R -2, R -3 and R4 or any multiple zones, and any governmental, institutional or educational buildings or churches; and that the hunting be limited to the owner and the owner's family; and that the owners would get a permit at least 30 days prior to the start of hunting and they would state who would be hunting and an exact description of the property and would be accompanied by signed permission from over 50 percent of the property owners adjacent to the subject property. DISCUSSION: Mr. Carlberg stated they will do some research on fees and permits and come back to the Council. Mr. Fursman didn't think there would be that many permits. Councilmember Orttel thought maybe the permit should be for the land itself so it is more enforceable. Councihnember Johnson suggested the possibility of issuing permits for goose hunting on 10 acres of more as well. Mr. Carlberg stated the season starts September 2, so that would have to be considered for next year. Motion carried on a 3 -Yes, 1 -No (Jacobson, thinking the permit makes it over complicated, preferring the original proposal instead as it is more easily understandable), 1- Absent (Knight) vote. APPROVE VARIANCE (VAR 00- 16)IFRONTAGE ON ROADILOT WIDTH /SECTION 121WOJCIECHOWSKI Mr. Carlberg reviewed the request of Peter and Marian Wojciechowski to vary from the lot frontage requirement for a buildable lot and from the lot width at th front setback on property located in the NE 1/4 of the NW 114 of Section 12. The Planning Commission discussed ways to avoid the variance but determined the applicant is not able to acquire adjacent land, that the applicant did not become aware that the lot was not legally buildable until about six months ago, that the land has been valued as a landlocked parcel created in 1980 and has been taxed at a reduced rate, that future development of adjacent land may create access but that there are no development plans in the foreseeable future; that a stub to this parcel was not provided when the property to the southwest was developed in the early 1990's; that prohibiting development of a 40 -acre buildable parcel appears to be a severe restriction and that a similar variance was granted in 1997 for a lot along the Rum River. The Commission recommended the driveway standards be required, including a Class V surface and minimum 16 -foot clear zone with adequate drainage ditches to provide adequate ingress and egress for emergency vehicles. There was a question that a portion of the present access easement may be subject to wetland regulations, but the applicant has indicated the easement could be reconfigured to avoid the wetland. The Planning Commission generally agreed with the variances but left it open 18 144-n(. -e Favtaem 13 Qrstoa4_r The "safe" slug myth: shotgun slugs are required in some areas, but why? I Guns Magazine I Find... Page 1 of 3 • Find Articles in: • All . Business . Reference . Technology . Lifestyle . Newspaper Collection Sports Publications o Comments The "safe" slug myth® shotgun slugs are required in some areas, but why? Guns Magazine, Nov, 2007 by Holt Bodinson The shotgun slug is less safe and more dangerous in the field than a 150 grain .3o -o6 bullet or a 50- caliber muzzleloading projectile. Does that statement sound improbable? Conventional wisdom would say so. I've just finished digesting a 67-page technical report commissioned by the Pennsylvania Legislative Budget and Finance Committee that blows a hole in conventional wisdom and the increasing establishment of shotgun- slug -only zones by state's game agencies. What prompted the study? A lawsuit involving a hunting accident in which a woman sitting in a car was struck by a stray rifle bullet coupled with increasing sportsmen's opposition to the expansion of shotgun slug and muzzleloading -only zones on the decision of the Pennsylvania Game Commission. When the professional staff of the Game Commission questioned other states with about their slug policies, they found no state had any definitive safety data to support the decision to restrict zones to shotgun slugs. Quoting from the report, "They found in the shotgun -only states, this appears to be an issue driven by emotion and politics rather than sound scientific data." The Army Weighs In The research firm, Mountaintop Technologies, conducted the resulting outside - contracted study. Its prime subcontractor was the US Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center at the Picatinny Arsenal. P http://findarticles.com/p/articles/Mi-mOBQY/is-I 153/ai n20512665/ 12/15/2009 The "safe" slug myth: shotgun slugs are required in some areas, but why? I Guns Magazine I Find... P age 2 of 3 [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] The Picatinny research team used the concept of Surface Danger Zones to compare the relative risk performance of three projectiles: a 15o -grain SP fired from a .30 -06 with a muzzle velocity of 2,910 fps, a 385 - grain, 12- gauge, 50- caliber sabot load with a hollowpoint, semi - spitzer projectile at 1,90o fps and, for the muzzleloaders, a 348 - grain, 50- caliber CVA Powerbelt projectile at 1 ,595 fps- The March 2007 study looked at the maximum range a projectile would reach at various firing angles of elevation plus the distance the projectile would ricochet after impacting the ground. The data is intriguing. At a maximum firing angle of elevation of 35- degrees, the rifle, shotgun and muzzleloader projectiles travel 13,926, 10,378', and 9,197' respectfully. Because of the angle of descent, there are no ricochets. At a firing angle of 10- degrees, the rifle, shotgun and muzzleloader projectiles travel 10,004', 7,163' and 6,247' respectfully plus additional ricochet distances of 702', 949' and 913' respectfully. Ali, but the big surprise comes at o- degrees of elevation which would be more or less a typical shot at a deer on level terrain. Here the rifle, shotgun and muzzleloader projectiles travel 1408', 840', and 686' respectfully plus ricochet distances of 3,4 4365', and 3,812' respectfully. Now the total distances traveled by the projectiles are 4 for the rifle, 5,205' for the shotgun and 449 for the muzzleloader. "The smaller cross sectional area of the .30- caliber projectile and its shape contributes to a higher loss of energy on impact and, after ricochet, the 3o- caliber projectile tends to tumble in flight with a high drag. Test data confirm that the 50- caliber projectile's larger cross sectional area and its shape contribute to less energy loss on shallow angles of impact and, after ricochet, the projectile exhibits less drag which results in a greater total distance traveled. [ILLUSTRATIONS OMITTED] "It is recommended the Pennsylvania Game Commission address the public perception a shotgun with modern high - velocity ammunition is less risky than centerfire rifles in all circumstances ... Frangible, or reduced ricochet, projectiles for hunting firearms should be investigated as an alternative to the mandatory use of shotguns or muzzleloaders." Far Reaching I think the effect of this study may be far reaching and it's why I have covered it in such detail. State game agencies tend to talk to one another and, indeed, tend to copy each other's regulations. It will be interesting to see w_ hat impact this study may have on ZD http://findarticles.com/p/articles/Mi—mOBQY/is-I 1 53 /ai n20512665/ 12/15/2009 The "safe" slug myth: shotgun slugs are required in some areas, but why?

Slug design is increasingly taking on the structure and composition of a jacketed bullet. Looking at the design of the new xp3 Winchester, the Hornady SST, and Federal Fusion slugs, it's clear we are already there. They're built like jacketed bullets, and they upset and expand like jacketed bullets. They're the finest rifled shotgun slugs we've ever had plus muzzle velocities keep increasing with every passing year. I'm sure the major ammunition companies are studying this groundbreaking report from Pennsylvania with keen interest. Knowing them as I do, they will have a solution to slug ricochet problem within months so stay tuned.

As a city resident for over 25 years my husband and I have experienced many issues with several of our neighbors hunting in Andover and Ham Lake, which is across the street from our property. I first remember the goose hunting on the back bordering part of our property, shooting day and night through our wood. Many times the buck shot bouncing off the trees and I'd hit the dirt while taking my evening walk with our two dogs. When trying to confront the hunters they would always disappear and hunting would cease, I think they let who ever wanted to hunt, hunt on their property. No one cared about the discharge of weapons over any border. Since then the property has sold and no more hunting on our back border. Several years ago we needed to replace our roof due to hail damage. With the tear off of the 15 year roof, we discovered that we had rifle slugs embedded in the roof that faced the Ham Lake side of University Ave. We talked to the neighbors across the street that hunt and let others hunt on their property and no claims that they are shooting in our direction or with a rifle. What can anyone due in this situation, knowing that letting anyone hunt on their property that there is no responsibility to the property owner or your neighbor unless you catch them in the act. Is anyone going to respect your property or your neighbors other than the owner themselves, I don't believe so especially when there hunting and the adrenaline is running. I called City Hall last fall and talked to Will after the first weekend of shot gun season. I had many questions about deer hunting within the city limits. What some of the ordinances were and who could hunt here. I was appalled to hear that two of my neighbors were approached to let hunters on their property to Z,5�- film a live deer kill. So when a neighbor had hunters arriving after five in the morning last year, my concerns really started to mount. I discovered that many city ordinances were violated and the city was going to do nothing. Will told me to call the sheriff's office with concerns and to investigate. But this was already after the hunting weekend of concern. Some of the violations to the current city ordinance were; not immediate family hunting, discharge of firearms needing at least forty acres, no discharge of weapons over the property lines, not fifty percent of neighbors gave permission, deer stands out of DNR regulation, wearing camouflage, not orange for shot gun opener and no city permits issued in this area of Andover at all. Still not sure how legal the deer decoy with fur and all was, and really don't like them hunting seventy five feet off my side border. It is five hundred feet from a building, but myself and family, including two dogs, are not going to hide out because they choose to hunt on our border within the city limits as far as I am concerned. We have already discovered how careful hunters are about discharge of weapons across property lines and have also found a broad head spears from bow hunter in the middle of our ten acre lot which in only three hundred forty some feet wide. They too must travel a couple hundred feet from a bow, I'm guessing. Very curious if there is a report listed with the city from my concerns last year? Also what is the follow up with the sheriff's reports listed in and around Andover during the hunting season? I don't believe these ten and fifteen acre plots in Andover and Ham Lake are big enough to hunt on with all the development and safety concerns. I am looking for protection and safety on my own property during all these hunting seasons against unsafe, none compliant, unregulated hunting practices in the City of Andover. The current regulations are the only safety net that we have to enforce noncompliant hunting practices, do not change or take them away; we still need them for conformity and safety. 2-6 Petition to allow bow - hunting of deer in Smiths' Rolling Oaks area Name Address Yes No Signature uhf tt�` N' fi T 3 & l u-r I ButfFsku -t 14 60 buttes w 13 u N 1 42D 13 atf FIR N /4 Uu ffE tvv J4 9,50 ?17 Name__� r,VER6 elE7 Address I Yes No Signature � 1 4-7 -17 _ -- G7 s� U �M �._ EEA) 1 4 - 7-4 sT ,5v EUR E— sr ST J.Af - z � Srt sfi E v s s� UER QR6 ' Name Address Yes No Signature 8u `teR &-r 149 BU It Flm ull" i �1 q l ✓ ERrvctT 49 4 Name Address Yes No I Signature fey` Kor qem i uA►v x w Q AK ✓c, 41 /ye z6 Ulf Ive ;ji ✓e. &DL� -1jw ❖ Adhere to all Minnesota DNR rules on bow hunting ❖ Must hunt from a tree stand so when a arrow is released it is heading toward the ground ❖ Can't go on another person's property to track a deer without the permission of the property owner ❖ Can only field dress the deer on the hunters property ❖ May only harvest does as killing 1 doe is like killing 3 deer as they usually have twins ❖ The whole process of this is to try and thin the heard out and save our flowers and gardens and for the good of the heard in general ❖ You must have at least 2.5 acres to participate ❖ A public hearing with the Planning Board is 5 -11 -10 at 7:00 pm in Andover City Hall �I AN 1 1 )' 1> 1 N 66VE w-(�- E Incorporated 1974 s Other Cities Hunting Regulations Ramsey See. 34 -21. - Weapons.

Berkowitz, Director of Pu rslCityyneer FROM: Jason J. Law, Asst. City Engineer SUBJECT: Discuss Awarding Bid /08 -33 /City Bridges Scour Evaluation — Engineering DATE: June 15, 2010 INTRODUCTION The City Council is requested to receive bids and award the contract for Project 08 -33, City Bridges Scour Evaluation. This project would include bridge scour countermeasures at the roadway and pedestrian bridges over Coon Creek on Prairie Road. DISCUSSION The bid opening was held on June 3, 2010. The bid was set up with a base bid and an alternate bid. The base bid included installation of rip rap with 4" of sand/topsoil to be placed over the rip rap and seeded. The alternate bid included installation of rip rap without a covering medium, but instead partially grouting the rip rap in place. Partially grouting rip rap has been used successfully in other parts of the country, but has not yet been tried in Minnesota. It is staff's recommendation to award the alternate bid, even though it is more expensive than the base bid. Staff believes this will provide a more long term solution for holding the rip rap in place, and it will also reduce the potential for kids removing the rip rap and throwing it into the creek. Staff is concerned that sand/topsoil covering in the base bid would wash away in short order, exposing the un- cemented rip rap to creek erosion and vandals. The three lowest bids received are as following: Contractor Base Bid Alternate Bid County Line Excavating $30,700.00 $40,500.00 Sunram Construction, Inc. $34,545.00 $48,900.00 Minger Construction Inc $43,595.00 $58,029.00 Engineer's Estimate $32,890.00 $34,097.50 Please refer to the attached bid tabulation for a breakdown of bids and unit prices. BUDGETIMPACT The project is identified in the City's Capital Improvement Plan to be funded by Storm Water Utility and the Road and Bridge fund. For 2010 through 2012, $35,000 is identified each year, for a total of $105,000.00. This project being considered would complete half of the proposed bridge scour countermeasures. The second half of the project would be bid and constructed in 2011.

Commissioners present: Commissioners absent: Also present: APPROVAL OFMINUTES. May 11, 2010 Dennis Cleveland, Lynae Gudmundson, Valerie Holthus, and Devon Walton. Chairperson Dean Daninger, Commissioners Michael Casey, and Tim Kirchoff City Planner, Courtney Bednarz Others Motion by Walton, seconded by Cleveland, to approve the minutes as presented. Motion carried on a 4 -ayes, 0 -nays, 3- absent (Casey, Daninger, Kirchoff) vote. PUBLIC HEARING: CONDITIONAL USE PERMITAMENOMENT (10 -7) TO CONSIDER EXPANSION OF THE GREAT RIVER ENERGYICONNEXUS ENERGYSUBSTATIONLOCATEDAT 1635 AND 1657 BUNKER LAKE BOULEVARD. Mr. Bednarz noted Great River Energy and Connexus Energy are proposing to expand the existing substation and provide additional site improvements. Public Utility Improvements outside of the public right -of -way require a Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Bednarz reviewed the information with the Commission. Motion by Cleveland, seconded by Walton, to open the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. Motion carried on a 4 -ayes, 0 -nays, 3- absent (Casey, Daninger, Kirchoff) vote. Mr. Bob Larock, 13783 Ibis Street, stated he did not understand what the new addition was to the substation, he wondered what it was for and what it will do. He wondered if L Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting DRA Minutes — June 8, 2010 Page 2 the changes would affect the electrical interference of his business. He stated he has concerns if the changes will affect his business. Mr. Louis Rudneke, owner of North Point Plaza, stated he wanted to make sure they do not add any additional electrical interference to the businesses in his building also. He stated he had some concerns about the changes to the grading and entrance. He recommended installing additional curb and gutter for an additional twenty -five to fifty feet so they would not have to worry about undermining of the existing curb and gutter at the end. Commissioner Holthus noted Great River Energy and Connexus Energy would like to file for a variance and not put curb and gutter in because according to the information they received the utility companies have large equipment and curb and gutter would not allow them to maneuver some of their equipment into the area. Mr. Rudneke indicated he would still ask that curb and gutter be installed at least ten feet to divert the drainage in a controlled fashion onto their property. Mr. Rudneke asked who was responsible for plowing the road into the property. He also wondered what kind of landscaping will be planted to screen the equipment. Mr. Bednarz explained 130 Avenue is a public street and the City has an interest in making sure the curb and the rest of the improvement there is maintained. If this item is approved they will go through a commercial site plan process. He stated plowing will continue as it has been in the past, up to the property line and snow storage will continue where it has been and then beyond that point it will be a private driveway and the applicant will be responsible for the maintenance. Mr. Rick Hiring, Great River Energy, explained what the project entailed. He stated there are no issues with medical devices in and around the equipment as long as they are not inside the fenced area. He noted there is a pedestrian walkway in very close proximity of the substation and a lot of studies have and continue to be done regarding this. He stated there should not be an issue and no changes should be made by the surrounding businesses. Mr. Hiring stated in regard to drainage along with getting the City approval they will also need to get app from Coon Creek Watershed District which they have not begun yet. He stated 138' currently flows easterly and will continue to flow easterly. He reviewed some of the landscaping they plan to do to improve the site. Mr. Mike Felber, Connexus Energy Manager, stated the distribution substation they are proposing is an addition that will be located to the north side of the sub. He stated they need to add capacity to this site. He reviewed the proposed expansion with the Council and residents. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —June 8, 2010 AFT Page 3 It was noted that cell phone usage would not be affected by this. Mr. Greg Shuddy, Great River Energy, explained the fence slat on the south portion where Connexus portion of the sub is actually a one inch mesh fence slat which is a tighter slat they have around the existing Great River Energy portion of the fence, there's is a two inch slat. He stated they are currently working with the manufacturing company but from what they have been told they do not have anything for the tighter mesh fencing and that is part of the reason why they went towards the landscaping plan around the southern portion to help screen it. Mr. Rudneke stated he did not realize they were going to gate the front entrance to it and perhaps a good solution to all the issues around that would be to install some sort of a cul -de -sac with curb and gutter and then have the gate go off the end of that and it would give the City staff to go all the way around and continue back west on 138 and would resolve most of those issues. He stated it was not the voltage that causes the electromagnetic interference in the surrounding area it is the current going through those wires that creates those magnetic fields and creates that interference so if they are increasing the current then there will be a larger magnetic field and interference. He stated he was in support of this project and he thought this was wise for the growing community. Motion by Walton, seconded by Cleveland, to close the public hearing at 7:41 p.m. Motion carried on a 4 -ayes, 0 -nays, 3- absent (Casey, Daninger, Kirchoff) vote. Commissioner Cleveland asked how large is the expansion going to be. Mr. Felber stated the fence expansion is 57x120 to accommodate vehicle movement around the equipment. Commissioner Goodmanson asked if the question and concern about interference could be addressed. Mr. Hiring explained how the electromagnetic interference works. He stated the greatest magnetic field would be directly under the wire and the further away you are the less the magnetic field would be. He stated the addition of their project and the modifications to their substation is essentially negligible in terms of the amount of current that will be increasing. Commissioner Goodmanson asked what other colors would they consider using for the slats in the fence. She also thought they will struggle to keep plants and grass alive without some type of irrigation. Mr. Hiring stated he drove by the site today and the plantings they put in last year, like the arborvitae is not doing well and he suspected that was due more to salt than anything else but some of the others seem to be doing quite well. He thought they needed to learn and figure out what types of species will do well at this site. Commissioner Goodmanson asked who would take care of the grass area. Mr. Hiring stated they currently mow the area within the fence to keep the area clean. 30 Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting DRA Minutes — June 8, 2010 Page 4 Commissioner Cleveland asked what the color options are for the fence slats. Mr. Shuddy stated there are examples in the packet that show what the manufacture has and they will use whatever the City recommends. Commissioner Holthus stated since this is probably one of the busiest corners in Andover and played the role of "Welcome to Andover" statement, she thought this site could be made a lot more attractive. She stated she would like to see a brick wall or cement block with a texture on the outside to make it look aesthetically more pleasing. She would like them to consider putting up something of a stronger screening and a better looking screening than slats and a chain link. Mr. Hiring stated they are certainly aware of this concern and that a solid wall like that would screen more effectively but the issue that keeps coming back is the road right of way is at the fence line and using today's standards, their facility would not be built the way it exists today. The fence would be further away from their equipment. If they could move the fence there they would. They have had several discussions with the County Highway people and were told they could not do anything in their road right -of- way. He stated the slates are the only reasonable thing they could do to screen the site. Commissioner Holthus stated she would like to see this motion include a recommendation to the City Council to include a brick wall because she knew this could be done and has seen it done elsewhere. Mr. Shuddy stated this is something they looked at quite a bit and due to the right -of -way issue, in order for them to build a brick wall along Hanson Boulevard, even if they were to build it on the right -of -way line, the foundation that needs to be built beneath that wall to withstand their wind loading and criteria for that substation would encroach on the County and the width to the nearest foundation of their large 230kb structure would cause a significant issue with their existing substation. The Commission discussed with the applicant landscaping, irrigation, security and screening. Motion by Cleveland, seconded by Goodmanson, to recommend to the City Council approval of Resolution No. , including the variance noted to curb and gutter and irrigation on the south side of the site. Motion carried on a 3 -ayes, 1 -nays ( Holthus), 3- absent (Casey, Daninger, Kirchoff) vote. Commissioner Holthus stated she voted against this because she felt there needed to be better screening which would consist of a wall. Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the June 15, 2010 City Council meeting.

There is approximately 3 '/z acres on our property on the Rum River. We built our home on this property in 1997. To my knowledge hunting has never been permitted on my property or on any property south of 159 Avenue NW and west of 7 th Avenue. I understand that the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission proposes a change in the hunting regulations in order to permit bow hunting on all property in Andover containing 2 '/z acres or more in area. I strongly oppose any change to the hunting regulations south of 159 Avenue NW and west of 7 th Avenue. I will not be able to be at the City Council meeting on Tuesday, June 15, 2010, due to the fact that I will be at the airport at approximately 7:00 p.m. picking up my wife who has been out of the country for 3 weeks.
