Sketch Plan - change the word "platted" to "designed" and change "Mr. Lundgren" to "Mr. DeGardner". _.J Motion by Commissioner Lachinski, seconded by Commissioner Retzlaff, that the Minutes of September 28th regular Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting be approved with the one exception. Motion carried unanimously. Barnes' Rolling Oaks 2nd Add'n Continued Preliminary Plat Public Hearing Comm. #4-76-8 Those present representing Barnes' Rolling Oaks were Faye Barnes, Brad Wicklund, and Jim Haney. The Commission and Mr. Stockwell received revised plats and a revised street section from Mr. Wicklund. Mr. Stockwell was given the soil boring and percolation test information. Discussion and comments: Minutes of 9-28-76, discussed previous things that needed correcting; road changed from 34' to 32'; no response from Coon Creek Watershed Board - Mr. Stockwell will contact Mr. Israelson, the Engineer for the Board, to see if there are any comments or changes desired; the ditch was cleaned to Andover Boulevard last week; Mr. Stockwell will meet with the County Highway Department regarding the culvert at Andover Boulevard; Palm Street, North of l48th Lane, should be constructed as a temporary cul-de-sac; the additional borings and percolation tests have been done; discussed soil types, water level, and elevations; several of the lots should be rechecked to determine the water level in previous years, since the extreme dry weather this year perhaps doesn't reflect a true water level. -' ( )' \. .' '\ '-_/ (J / ) '-- Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - October 12, 1976 Page 2 Lengthy discussion on buildable and unbuildable lots - whether the ordinance requires only buildable lots on a plat, the problems incurred by the City and by someone buying a lot and then being turned down for a building permit because the lot is unbuildable, determining what is an unbuildable lot, either combining lots to eliminate unbuildable lots or fill them. Discussed filling - dumping fill on the surface or removing the peat and replacing it and adding fill and then compacting. Motion by Commissioner Lachinski, seconded by Commissioner Retzlaff, to continue the Barnes' Rolling Oaks 2nd Addition Preliminary Plat to the October 26th regular Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to allow time for the developer to take additional soil borings, to allow for revision of the plat to include the cul-de-sac on the North end of Palm Street, to readjust the lots and whatever revisions are necessary to make the lots buildable. John Blomquist, Inc. Variance (Comm. #9-76-6) '-----..) Robert Bement, from John Blomquist, Inc., and the couple interested in purchasing the land were present. Items mentioned in discussion of the above Variance: 33' accepted City road; size of lot - 160 x 330; this lot was recorded prior to the ordinance; high in front - lot of trees - drops down toward back; fronts on public street; 1.21 acres; m.Qot~ :a ffi8jvLhy vI tRE! e:nliRBI'l8€. c6't'r-eei-eJ /O/2(,/7f;> Motion by Commissioner Retzlaff, seconded by Commissioner Lachinski, that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends to the City Council that the John Blomquist, Inc., variance be accepted because it was a lot of record prior to the ordinance and that the lot does front on an accepted public right-of-way. Motion carried unanimously. This will be on the City Council Agenda for October 19, 1976. Vacation of l33rd Avenue (Comm. #10-76-1) Chairman Orttel opened the Public Hearing and explained the background for this item. The portion is from Crooked Lake to Gladiola Street and is the boundary between Coon Rapids and Andover. The City of Coon Rapids received a petition for vacation, held a public hearing, and vacated their ~ of the street. The City of Andover has now received two petitions - one for and one against. It seems that everyone in the area had bought in the area with the idea that they had a public access to the Lake in their immediate neighborhood. l ~) , ~ '-_/ ~ ) C) ''\ '----" Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - October 12, 1976 Page 3 Don Taylor, 13306 G1adio1a Street NW, stated, "My property abutts this property. Our family maintains and takes care of this property. It is not a road now. There is a parcel of land at 136th Avenue and G1adio1a to get access to the lake, the City land on the North side of the lake, and also the City of Coon Rapids has a park to the South of this area. There is no parking so people have to park in the intersection. If it was vacated, it would be put on the tax rolls and that would be money put into the City. It is mainly used by snowmobilers and people carrying canoes or rubber rafts." Norman Shequen, 13317 Gladio1a Street NW, said, "There should be no parking problem because the City has an Ordinance against it. I use it for snowmobile access to the lake in the winter and would not ride across other people's property. At the North end of the lake, there is a 40' lot with no parking facilities and you can't launch anything at the public beach of Coon Rapids; and you also have to get a license from Coon Rapids to ride snowmobile in Coon Rapids." Mr. Shequen explained the situation this summer where someone left a boat parked there, which he feels brought on this whole "vacation" situation. Mr. Taylor stated, "The City of Coon Rapids has already vacated their ~ of the street." '-/ Forest Medin, 13316 Gladiola Street NW, mentioned that there is a potential problem, an attractive nuisance, and it would be easier to abandon it now before it becomes a problem. He thought that the City should consider the capability of Crooked Lake and that Coon Rapids thought there is already too much boat traffic. Mrs. Don Randall, 13256 Gladiola Street NW, who lives on the Coon Rapids side of the street, said, "We have been here for 15 years. There is getting to be more and more use and abuse. People are leaving junk and trash and, in general, doing a lot of littering. The City of Coon Rapids didn't feel that with the large Park Department they have that it would be feasible to maintain 33' so they vacated it and we were able to purchase it." Scott Schwen, 13339 Eide1weiss Street NW, stated, "We just purchased a home and were told there was an access for cross country skiing and canoeing. It seems to be more of a neighborhood usage and then parking shouldn't be a problem. I don't want to see boats running on the lake, but I feel that rubber rafts, canoes, snowmobiles, or cross country skiing is a good, justified use. I feel that a good usage by the City would be to designate the area to the lake as a right-of-way by posts and install trash barrels and signs so that only this strip of land could be used." " J \, /' r ) :: ) C) ~ ) , ) '- / Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - October 12, 1976 Page 4 Ted Wilson, 13232 Gladiola Street NW, said, "I live 3 doors South of the area spoken of and have lived there 8 years. There is another access on the North side of the lake and across the lake. There is loud partying, trash, and the City doesn't maintain the property. You can drive a snowmobile on the lake at l36th." Mr. Shequen, said, "If this is approved, then the access at l36th, and also the North end and pretty soon there would be no access to the lake." After being asked how many people use l33rd as an access, the residents generally agreed that not very many people use it. Mr. Wilson, said, "It seems to me that the people who are against it don't live near to have the problems with parking and such." Chairman Orttel, "I am getting the impression that we are talking about two different things. Number one - has the problem existed to warrant taking it out of public ownership? Number two - if we leave it as a public access, what is going to happen in the future?" '--.j The Commission discussed the problems that other Cities have had over the years with selling lake access and then wishing to buy it back at a later date. They agreed that the park board should look at all the accesses on the lake and determine future park use. Dick Larson, 2849 - l34th Avenue NW, said that he has lived there for some time, uses the access to walk down to the lake in the winter, and suggested the Park Department should have the land and save these people from all the headaches and problems in taking care of it. Maybe a trail system for hiking or cross country skiing could be started. Chairman Orttel, "I meant to speak change from a street to park land? than the adjacent property owner? association purchase the property? will happen after it is vacated." with the Attorney about this. Can it Can it be vacated to someone other For example, could the neighborhood We have no information as to what Motion by Commissioner Jacobson, seconded by Commissioner Kishel, to close the public hearing.

We make this recommendation based upon citizen input at the public hearing and also upon signed petitions of people in the area. Motion carried unanimously. The two remaining items on the Agenda will be taken care of at a later date. Ad;ournment Motion by Commissioner Retzlaff, seconded by Commissioner Lachinski, to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously.
