December 27, 1977
MINUTES
The Regular Meeting of the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission was
called to order at 7:30 P.M. by Chairman Larry Retzlaff on December

NW, Anoka, Minnesota 55303.
Commissioners Present: d'Arcy Bosell, James Elling, John Johanson,
Ralph Kishel, Jeannine Pyron
Commissioner Absent: Gary Schwendinger
Mrs. Pyron and Mr. Schwendinger were appointed by the City Council
on December 8, 1977 to fill the unexpired terms of Don Jacobson and
Walter Bruns.
Minutes of November 22. 1977
Motion by Commissioner Elling, seconded by Commissioner Bosell, to
approve the Minutes. Motion carried unanimously.
Leslie Bever Moving Permit (Comm. #12-77-1)
Mr. Bever wishes to move a house from the City of Anoka to Parcel 5400
in Section 34 on Bunker Lake Boulevard. He provided the Commission
with a number of pictures and a drawing showing where the house would
be located and adjoining houses. The Commission had received a letter
from Rex Stockwell, City Engineer, (copy attached) dated 12-23-77 referring
to the feasibility of hooking up to the City sewer. The manhole at the
corner of Mr. Bever's property is the East end of the sewer line.
Mr. Bever would like to hook-up to the City sewer.
Commissioner Elling asked if the City Engineer had researched whether
the elevations were such that it would be feasible to hook-up to the
manhole. Chairman Retzlaff said he had talked to the Engineer and Mr.
Stockwell had said that it would be possible to hook-up to the manhole
as long as all the costs are paid by Mr. Bever. Commissioner Elling
questioned whether the owner would be liable for the portion of the
sewer from the manhole to the property line and if the owner pays for
it, does the sewer line belong to him. In other projects the sewer lines
were stubbed into the property line, not from the manhole. Mr. Stockwell
will be asked to clarify this item.

Minutes - December 27, 1977
Page 2
The Commission received a letter from Dave Clough, Building Official,
stating approval of the move-in contingent upon submitting acceptable
foundation and remodeling plans for the required building permit.
Ernst Movers will take care of moving the house to the site.
Motion by Commissioner Elling, seconded by Commissioner Kishel, that
the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the Leslie
Bever Moving Permit in that it's in accordance with Ordinance 8, Section
4.11; there was no public opposition; it is not detrimental to the
area; the Commission received a letter from T.K.D.A. outlining the sewer
availability and the owner is in agreement with this; the Commission
received a letter also from David R. Clough, Building Official, approving
such a move; and, also, that all the sewer connections be done in accordance
with Ordinance 32, specifically Section 5 A and C.
Motion carried unanimously. This will be on the City Council Agenda
on January 17, 1978.
Ogema Estates Preliminary Plat (Comm. #3-75-2)
A preliminary plat for Ogema Estates was approved by the Planning and
f ~ Zoning Commission on July 28, 1975 and has been a continued item on
U the City Council Agenda since that time. On December 6, 1977 the City
Council has referred the plat back to the Planning and Zoning Commission
for review.
Ron Smith, developer of the property, explained that because of a flaw
in the title and also the cemetery on the property it has taken until
now to get everything straightened out. The property is alongside 1-
acre lots so it was difficult to line up the streets with the 2~-acre
lots required. The old Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
approval but Mr. Smith is now asking for this Commission's opinions.
The Commission and Mr. Smith discussed: easements and road right-of-way;
whether any lots will front on 7th Avenue and if the County would allow
it; the building setbacks on 7th Avenue; surface drainage - looks like
it will drain out of the plat onto someone else's property - suggested
holding ponds; the water table in the South end of the plat is high so
a holding pond would be fine; lining up streets with Stenquist Addition;
creating collector streets; problems with cul-de-sacs; future subdivision
and when, if ever, these lots might be resubdivided; past park board
action was land plus cash to make up the acreage difference; whether
double frontage lots applies to County Roads; current unbuildable lots
would be filled and be buildable in 2 or 3 years.

Some of the problems or items that should be looked into are: the
lots are narrower than 300' required; soil borings are 2 years old;
need new letter of permission from fee owner; double frontage lots;
street configuration; basement elevations; the drainage of the surface
water; corner lots must be 15' wider than interior lots; use scale
of 100' = 1" rather than 50' = 1" in revised drawings; need new
Park and Recreation Commission recommendation on park dedication.
Mr. Smith will contact the City when he is ready with the revised
plat.
