Heise Preliminary Plat Continued Public Hearing (Comm. #10-75-4)
Marjorie Heise and LeRoy Winner were present to discuss the plat.
The plat, which has been revised per Planning and Zoning request, was
sent to the Cities of Coon Rapids and Anoka. A copy of the letter in
response from the City of Coon Rapids and also a letter from T.K.D.A.
are attached. Mr. Winner will revise the future resubdivision plan before
it goes to the City Council.
Motion by Commissioner Heil, seconded by Commissioner Orttel, to close
the Public Hearing. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Commissioner
Orttel, seconded by Commissioner Jaworski, that the Planning and Zoning
Commission recommend the City Council approve the Preliminary Plat of
Marjorie Heise's - Heise's 2nd Addition as revised on 1-14-76, subject
to the revision of the future subdivision plan to eliminate a common
street with the City of Coon Rapids as per their request. The Preliminary
Plat meets all the requirements of Ordinance lOA and all the necessary
information has been provided. We would ask that the City Council waive
the Soil Borings requirement on this subdivision as there is no new
construction planned. Motion carried unanimously.
This item will be on the City Council Agenda of February 17, 1976.
Wicklund Sketch Plan (Comm. #1-76-3)
Brad Wicklund presented a Sketch Plan of a portion of the 309 acres
owned by Faye Barnes. A 5-year development plan calls for 73 proposed
lots. Rex Stockwell gave the Commissioners and Mr. Wicklund a letter
(copy attached) from T.K.D.A. dated 1-19-76. This letter covers very
well the problems with this Sketch Plan. Discussed the right-of way
required by the County for Andover Blvd. and also the right-of-way
required by the State for Prairie Road, a Municipal State Aid Highway.
Mr. Wicklund was advised to revise the Sketch Plan following the requirements
of Ordinance 8, 10, and IDA.
Pine Crest Preliminary Plat Continued Public HearLng (Comm. #12-75-L)
Sylvia Britton, representative for Lawrence Carlson, presented revised
plats to the Commission showing 51' road right-of-way. The Commission
again discussed l69th Avenue, the Comprehensive Plan, M.S.A.H. standards,
Tulip Street, and County Road 58. The County Engineer, through the
Andover City Administrator, was contacted at the Pine Crest Sketch Plan
Stage in regard to the County's plans for County Road 58. The County
had no plans to change this section of #58 for the next 5 years although
they are requesting the 75'easement at this time. Discussed the 102'
shown on the revised plat and the 120' requested by the State. The
additjonal 18' required for a slope would have to be purchased or
posslbly could be available through an easement.
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes - January 27, 1976
Page 3
Motion by Commissioner Orttel, seconded by Commissioner Nehring, to
close the Public Hearing. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by
Commissioner Orttel that the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission
recommend the City Council approve the Preliminary Plat of Pine Crest
Addition as submitted on 1-27-76 to the effect that it meets all the
requirements of Ordinance 10 and IDA, but subject to the provision
that there will be 10' of the Eastern edge of the Plat designated
as slope easement for the M.S.A.H. #105 for the rural section, that
being in lieu of 120' easement or right-of-way. No second. Motion
die s .
Discussion of "slope" and "utility" easements and Ordinance 10 _ Section
9.04. Motion by Commissioner Orttel, seconded by Commissioner Nehring,
that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend the Andover City Council
approve the Preliminary Plat of Pine Crest Addition as submitted on
January 27, 1976, as it meets all the requirements of Ordinance 10 and
lOA; subject to a 101 slope and utility easement along the entire
Eastern edge of the Plat.
Statement by Commissioner Johnson - "Shouldn't we do something about
l69th Avenue? l69th Avenue was a good idea, it was in the Comprehensive
Plan, etc. Hho decided to nix l69th?" He was advised that the City
Administrator, T.K.D.A. Engineer, and the County Engineer met and
decided that l69th didn't "fit in". Commissioner Johnson replied,
"The Planning Authority of Andover in the past has designated l69th
as a cross street. A Comprehensive Plan was drawn up which calls for
l69th to be used straight through to County Road 58."
Vote on motion: yes - Commissioner Jaworski, Commissioner Heil, Commissioner
Orttel, Commissioner Nehring; no - Commissioner Johnson. Motion carried.
Proposed Ordinance 32 Amendment (Comm. #1-76-4)
James Elling, who requested this on the Agenda, was not present. A
copy of his request is attached. The Commission discussed some of
the problems which might occur if this amendment was adopted. As an
example, with a system being pumped once in 8 years, it would be feasible
that someone wouldn't have to hook-up to the Public system for 16 years.
The City would have a problem with paying for the sewer if everyone was
allowed to do this.
Motion by Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Jaworski, to
table this indefinitely. Commissioner Jaworski stated his belief that
there is another way to handle this. Discussed whether to table the
proposed amendment or to make a motion to take no action. Vote on
motion: yes - Commissioner Nehring, Commissioner Orttel, Commissioner
Heil, Commissioner Johnson; no - Commissioner Jaworski. Motion carried.
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes - January 27, 1976

Proposed Street Alignment - Northwood Addition (Comm. #1-76-5)
Engineer Stockwell stated the T.K.D.A. request to extend Crocus Street
North to avoid the double jog. He was asked if you can use park land
for City street and replied that Attorney Hawkins advised them to
build the road where you want it. The Commission commented that this
alternative would be a good thing for street and sewer purposes. The
Park and Recreation Commission should be aware of this change.
Motion by Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Jaworski,
that the Planning and Zoning Commission feels that the proposed street
alignment in Northwoods seems reasonable and very practical and it
would be our recommendation to do it as such. Motion carried unanimously.
Extension of Heather Street NW (Comm. #1-76-5B)
The Commission and Mr. Stockwell discussed the extension of Heather
Stree~ in Green Acres, onto the 1 empty lot just North of Heather.
The lot is 110t-wide and the Anoka County market value for the property
in 1975 was $2,200. This land has been talked about since the beginning
of the Comprehensive Plan as an exit for Green Acres. If the sewer line
could be run through there, the land that is currently low could be
developable. The Engineer will discuss it with Mr. Kasma & Mr. Berkowitz
to see if it would be feasible.
Motion by Commissioner Heil to recommend to the City Council to purchase
this land to assure an alternate route out of Green Acres in the near
future. No second. Motion dies.
Motion by Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Heil, that the
Andover Planning and Zoning Commission recommends the City Council consider
the extension of Heather Street in Green Acres to the north line of
Parcel 6660 prior to construction of a building on this parcel, to assure
the reserving of this right-of-way the City could purchase the lot as
part of the 1976 Construction Program and finance the cost over the life
of the bond issue for the following reasons: 1) The Green Acres area
is limited to access from a major street or highway except from a southerly
direction. Heather Street could be a future access to the north from
this area. 2) South Coon Creek Drive has been designated a Municipal
State Aid Roadway thus a Collector Street. An extension of Heather
Street to South Coon Creek Drive at some time in the future would provide
access to the north onto a major collector street. 3) The ground north
of Green Acres and south of South Coon Creek Drive is generally developable
and as this area develops, Heather Street could be extended from the north
line of Parcel 6660 to South Coon Creek Drive. 4) Parcel 6660 is vacant
at this time. Hhen a building is constructed on this parcel, Heather
Street could no longer be extended and used as an access to the north.
Motion carried unanimously.

Minutes - January 27, 1976

Proposed Street Standards(comm. #1-76-1)
Engineer Stockwell submitted a new drawing #3 showing street section
after placement of utilities. Suggestion was made that after sanitary
sewer is installed, the curb and gutter should be put in at that time
rather than a temporary blacktop berm. Other utilities could be placed
under the street without replacing the surface of the road.
Motion by Commissioner Orttel, seconded by Commissioner Jaworski, that
the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend the City Council adopt
the T.K.D.A. Street Section Standards for the City of Andover drawings
.1-4, dated 12-22-75. Amendment by Commissioner Orttel, seconded by
Commissioner Jaworski, to state Drawing #1 - Standard Rural Street
Section, Drawing #2 - Standard Urban Street Temporary Section, Drawing
#3 - Standard Urban Street Permanent Section, Drawing #4 - Standard
Municipal State Aid Highway Roadway Sections. Amendment and motion
carried unanimously.
Street Opening Ordinance & Specifications (Comm. #1-76-6)
This item will be reviewed and placed on the next agenda.
Proposed Private Sanitary Sewer Ordinance (Comm. #11-75-3)
The Commission reviewed the Minutes of 12-23-75 in regard to previous
discussion of this proposed ordinance. They discussed how often a
system should be pumped, who should pump it, who should inspect it, and
how to enforce these requirements.
Motion by Commissioner Orttel, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, that
the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends the City Council approve
the proposed Private Sanitary Sewer Ordinance with the following modifications:
Page 20 - Section 7A - to be reworded as follows: each owner of property
containing an existing sewage disposal system shall, within 24 months
from and after the date of adoption of this ordinance forward to the
City, on prescribed forms, verification that said system has been pumped;
and during each subsequent 24 month period, perform one of the following:
1) forward to the City, on prescribed forms, verification that said
system has been pumped. 2) forward to the City an affidavit, signed
by a licensed sewage pumping service or other designated representative,
indicating that an inspection of such system has resulted in a determination
that pumping is unnecessary. A reasonable fee for such service shall
be established by the City and charged to the individual requesting such
inspection. 3) the City shall supply the appropriate forms. 4) after
the initial pumping, the City shall notify each person with a private
sewage disposal system when their subsequent pumpings or inspections are
required. Page 25 - Section D-l add "with reasonable and proper notification".
Motion carried unanimously.

Re: Weise's Second Addition Preliminary Plat
Andover General Engineering
Commission No. 6223~76
Commission Members:
We have reviewed the Weise's Second Addition
Preliminary Plat as revised following the discussion at
the January 13, 1976, meeting.
GEORGE J. SC~Ra[PFEt;
CI.IFFORO W, HAMSLI....
I)
The revised plat includes the dedication of 66' of right-of-way north
of the proposed lot. The street dedication will extend to east line of
the Addition.
This street will not be used until subdivision takes place east and/ or
north of this Addition. 133rd Lane NW, therefore, would not requil"C
construction at this time.
2) The total lot area excluding right-of-way has been indicated.
3) The Preliminary Plat has been forwarded to the City of Coon Rapids
and the City of Anoka for review and comments.
'.1"11C l"(~vised Preliminary Plat meets the rcquirements of Ordinancc 10 ;)IHI
"ii ""ccssary information has been provided.
We will discuss this letter with the Commission at the January 2 7, 1976
meeting.

City Engineer
City of Andover
1685 Crosstown Blvd. NW
Anoka, MN 55303
Dear Mr. Stockwell:
Thank you for transmitting the proposed Weise's 2nd Addn.
plat to us for our review and comment. The major concern
of the City of Coon Rapids has with the plat is the pro-
posed comn1on street (133rd Avenue). It is the Planning and
Engineering Departments' opinion that, if at all possible,
it is best to avoid a common street between Coon Rapids and
Andover. Common streets create problems of:
\
, J
a. Maintenance - Who maintains it?
b. Utility service.
c. Assessment difficulties.
d. Future street improvement difficulties.
e. Traffic control.
It is our suggestion that the plat be redrawn to achieve a
street system that does not require a common street. Two
alternatives are provided to you for your consideration.
Thank you again for your transmittal. We trust you will
consider our comment.
Very cordially yours,
a~~ >>. yj~
