JoAnn Chouinard Special Use Permit (Comm. #2-76-2)
The Commission reviewed the attached memo from the Clerk regarding
a refund to Mrs. Chouinard. Motion by Commissioner Jaworski, seconded
by Commissioner Orttel, that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends
that the City refund the balance of the costs, less the publication
notice fee, administrative costs, and Commission costs as noted on the
March 5, 1976 memo from the Clerk, inasmuch as Mrs. Chouinard requested
that the matter not be pursued any further. Motion carried unanimously.
Steve Slyzuk Special Use Permit (Comm. #3-76-1)
Mr. Slyzuk stated that he would like to put in one (1) mobile home for
hired help, migrant or seasonal workers. He has one mobile home already
on his property that was put in before the Ordinance was adopted regarding
mobile homes. The mobile home would be used for perhaps 6 months a
year only. The existing trailer is back in the woods approximately 600'
off the road and he plans to put the new one 100' from it. He plans
to buy a 4 or 5 year old, 3 bedroom, 12 or 14' wide, and 65 or 70' long
mobile home.
\
None of the adjoining property owners were present. Jim Thurston, Building
Inspector, asked about the septic system and well for the mobile home.
Mr. Slyzuk stated that the present septic system is 40' to the West
of the existing trailer and 100' from the new one. The well is 75'
from the existing septic system and he plans to use the one well for both
mobile homes. Chairman Jack referred to Ordinance 8, Section 5.03 B,
Section 7.02, Section 7.03, and Section 8.15. Mr. Slyzuk stated that
there would be 5 acres to park on, no garage, and was advised to designate
a specific parking area according to Ordinance.

Commissioner Jaworski stated that the land is designated R-1 but it
is afamsteadnot "residential". Mr. Slyzuk noted that there are 30
acres where the buildings are but he owns almost 300 acres. The Commission
felt it should be encouraged to be left as long as possible for agricultural
use. Commissioner Jaworski noted that anywhere else he would be against
a mobile home but in this type of situation he is in favor of it.
Ordinance 8 Definitions was brought up by Commissioner Johnson, regarding
"EEE" and "FFF", and he asked if the City would be establishing a mobile
home park by allowing another mobile home? The Commission decided
that perhaps a special stipulation should be added so that the home could
be used only 6 months of each year. The City should protect itself
so that it does not get i~to the mobile home hassle it has in the past.
As long as he is not charging rent and the living quarters are provided
as part of the job, perhaps it wouldn't be a mobile home park. The
Commission asked Mr. Slyzuk about making the mobile home a pemanent
structure by putting in a foundation, etc.
Motion by Commissioner Orttel, seconded by Commissioner Jaworski, to
close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. The Commission
discussed the importance of including in the recommendation every reason
and condition for approving this application.
Motion by Commissioner Jaworski, seconded by Commissioner Orttel, that
the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend the Andover City Council
approve the Special Use Pemit applied for by Steve Slyzuk to move in
one (1) mobile home for seasonal workers subject to the following conditions
and stipulations: 1) It will only be used 6~ months per year by seasonal
agricultural workers. 2) The mobile home be placed and maintained at
the location indicated on the Special Use Pemit sketch, approximately
400 feet South of the NW~ of the SE~ of Section 22, and at least 450 feet
East of the East property line on Nightingale Street. 3) This would be
allowing one mobile home only and in no way can this pemit be construed
to mean the allowing of more than one mobile home or a mobile home park.
4) That it shall meet the Ordinance 8, Section 8.15 - A,B, and C requirements.
5) It shall be reviewed annually on the anniversary date by the City Council.
Reasons for granting this Special Use Pemit are as follows: 1) It
meets the spirit and intent of Zoning Ordinance 8 (Section 7.01 Residential
as having first use as agricultural within the residential district and
that this site would be used primarily for agriculture and that this use
as a Special Use should be pemitted as an accessory use in addition
to the listed uses in 7.02) and the proposed Comprehensive Plan as it
relates to the encouragement of Agricultural use in a rural area. 2)
There have been no negative comments from adjoining property owners.
3) The property is approximately 300 acres that is agricultural use and
qualifies for "Green Acres" at this time and this use shall be its primary
use. 4) It meets the "Criteria for Granting Special Use Pemits"
(Ordinance 8 - Section 5.03 B). Motion carried unanimously.
This item will be reviewed by the Commission on March 23, 1976 and will
be on the City Council Agenda April 6, 1976.

Private Sanitary Sewer Ordinance (Crnttm. #11-75-3)
The Commission and Jim Thurston, Building Inspector, reviewed their
previous recommendation and a memo fram Jim dated February 10, 1976.
Mr. Thurston stated that Mr. Machmeier, Extension Agricultural Engineer,
and others he had talked to at the State said a controlled program seems
to fail because of lack of control and enforcement. It becomes a paper
work nightmare. The other extreme would be a mandatory pumping every
2 years or so. It depends on how people use or abuse their systems.
Commissioner Orttel and Chairman Jack stated their belief in the previous
recommendation.
Motion by Commissioner Orttel, seconded by Commissioner Jaworski, that
the Planning and Zoning Commission resubmit the Private Sanitary Sewer
Ordinance to the City Council for their consideration with Section 7A,
page 20, amended as follows: each owner of property containing an
on-site sewage disposal system which has been in use for a period of
24 months or more shall, within 90 days from and after the adoption of
this Ordinance, forward to the City verification that said system has
been cleaned in it's entirety within the past 12 months, and the date
of such pumping, or that inspection as per attached specifications (those
specifications to be the ones submitted per James E. Thurston's February
10, 1976 memo) has deemed pumping or cleaning unnecessary at this time;
and, during each subsequent 24-month period, either verify cleaning of
the entire system to the City or in lieu of said cleaning, submit an
affidavit showing that said system does not require cleaning as per
attached specifications. But in no case may a cleaning interval exceed
a period of 48 months regardless of inspection results. It is hereby
noted that these are minimum requirements for private sewer system maintenance
and some individual systems may require more frequent maintenance. The
City of Andover assumes no responsibility or liability for costs incurred
to property owners when additional system maintenance or system failures
occur even though such systems have been maintained according to this
Ordinance. Motion carried unanimously.
Other Business - Not on Agenda
Mr. and Mrs. David Mohs, who live on l39th Avenue _ 2 blocks off from
Round Lake Boulevard, discussed the possibility of having a beauty saloon
in their home. They were advised to get a copy of Ordinance 8 and review
it.
Street Opening Ordinance and Specifications (Comm. #1-76-6)
Motion by Commissioner Jaworski, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, that
the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends the Andover City Council
accept the proposed Street Opening Ordinance and the Standard Specifications
for Street Opening Permits in the City of Andover, Minnesota as revised
by T.K.D.A. and submitted to the City of Andover on March 9, 1976.
Motion carried unanimously.
