REGULAR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING
, ,/
December 9, 1975
MINUTES
The Regular Meeting of the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission was
called to order at 7:40 P.M. by Chairman Dave Jack, on December 9,
1975, at the Andover Community. Center, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NH,
Anoka, Minnesota 55303.
Commissioners Present: Ken Heil, Art Jaworski, Dean Johnson, Arleane
Nehring, and Ken Orttel
Commissioner Absent: Mark Arnold
Also Present: Rex Stockwell, Engineer from T.K.D.A.; Norman Herner,
City Administrator; and others
Minutes
Chairman Jack read a portion of a letter from Mark Arnold, who was
absent, in regard to the Minutes of November 25, 1975. Commissioner
Arnold wrote that in the last paragraph of page 1, he didn't say
"Building Official"; and, also, disagreed with paragraph 1, page 2, that
the Public Hearing had been closed. The Commissioners concurred that
the Minutes were acceptable as written. Motion by Commissioner Orttel,
seconded by Commissioner Jaworski, to accept the Minutes of November
25, 1975, as printed. Motion carried unanimously.
Audette Preliminary Plat (Comm. #9-75-1)
Rex Stockwell presented a letter from T.K.D.A. dated December 9, 1975
(Copy attached). Mr. Stockwell reviewed the letter with the Commission
and stated that all the requirements have been fulfilled and no additional
information will be required from an Engineering standpoint. The
Commissioners discussed the Variance request and, after Jack Audette
explained more fully why the Variance was needed, agreed that everything
has been taken care of in this regard. Some kind of a legal transfer
of land should be made to create the new Hest boundary of the plat.
Motion by Commissioner Orttel, seconded by Commissioner Heil, that
the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission recommend the Preliminary
Plat of the Audette Brothers to the City Council because it meets the
requirements of Ordinance 10 and IDA. Note: that there should be some
formal evidence of the property being transferred for the new Hest boundary
of the Plat. Motion carried unanimously. This plat will be on the
City Council Agenda for January 6, 1976.

Ransom Moving Permit (Comm. #12-75-1)
The Commissioners looked over the request of Mrs. Gladys Ransom to
move a garage from the New Brighton area to her home at 4640 - l65th
Avenue NH. They examined the pictures she had provided and reviewed
Ordinance 8 - Section 4.11 in regard to relocated structures. Mrs.
Ransom stated that she plans to put cattle in the building now and
James E. Thurston, Building Inspector, had looked over the site and
had approved it.
J
Motion by Commissioner Jaworski, seconded by Commissioner Heil, that
the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that the Andover
City Council approve the garage moving permit of Mrs. Gladys Ransom
as required under Ordinance 8 - Section 4.11, stating the following
facts: 1) The provisions of Andover Moving Ordinance #4 will be waived
being the structure will not be moved on any City streets per the
Building Official, Walter L. Arntzen. 2) Pictures of the structure have
been viewed and are agreeable. 3) The building will be moved onto an
11 plus acre site. 4) The building shall be used for Agricultural
purposes. Motion carried unanimously. Since she would like to use
the building as soon as possible, she was advised to go to Mr. Werner,
City Administrator, and ask to be put on the next (December 16) City
Council Agenda. This item would normally go on the first Tuesday
meeting (January 6, 1976) Agenda of the City Council.
Lawrence B. Carlson Sketch Plan (Comm. #12-75-2)
Mr. Carlson presented 2 Sketch Plam for property (15+ acres) located
at Valley Drive and Tulip Street. He would prefer using Plan #1, which has
more lots but, if the Commission wished, Plan #2 would be satisfactory
to him.
Mr. Carlson was not aware of the fact that this property is zoned R-1.
The Commission also brought to his attention page 168 of the Community
Development Plan, which shows the south line of the property as a
proposed "collector" street. The Engineers had previously proposed
Tulip Street as a "Minnesota State Aid Highway". The County is requesting
a 75' road easement for County Road No. 58. The Commission and Mr.
Carlson discussed all the "proposed" roads.
Direction was given to contact the County Engineer to find out what
their future plans are for County Road No. 58. The Commission covered
all the criteria for the Sketch Plan Stage.

Norbert Tempel - Lot Size Review (Comm. #12-75-3)
The City, by the action of putting in the City Sanitary Sewer, has
created a buildable, but unplatted, lot which is owned by Mr. Tempel.
The lot has 140' of lake frontage and is 300' in depth. Mr. Tempel
wishes to sell it as one lot and is now having it surveyed.
Chairman Jack would like this item on the next Planning and Zoning
Agenda with the legal description provided.
Private Sanitary Sewer Ordinance (Comm. #11-75-3)
The Commissioners had previously received a letter (Copy attached)
from T.K.D.A. dated 12-5-75. Items discussed include the following:
1) licensing of pumpers, 2) pumping requirements, 3) when and how often
a system should be pumped, 4) manhole covers, 5) State Health Specifications,
6) Board of Appeals, 7) unfairness of making this Ordinance (Judy Berry),
and 8) page 27 - B. 2. permits.
The Commission recommended the following change: Page 25 -Section D.
Item 1. - to add "with reasonable notification" to the end of the
sentence.
Motion by Commissioner Ortte1, seconded by Commissioner Jaworski, to
carry this item, the Proposed Private Sanitary Sewer Ordinance, to the
next agenda and have, at that time or prior to that time, a State
Ordinance or information as pertaining to septic systems. Amendment
by Chairman Jack, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, to request Halter
L. Arntzen, the Building Official, to be at the next meeting. Motion
and amendment carried unanimously.
Obscenity Ordinance (Comm. #11-75-2)
Judy Berry was given copies of ~he letters from City Attorney, William
G. Hawkins (copies attached). Mrs. Berry and the Commissioners discussed
various aspects of this item. Mrs. Berry appears to be primarily concerned
with 'magazines with objectionable covers displayed where children might
see them". The Commission and the letter from Mr. Hawkins advised her
of the Minnesota Statute regulating this.
Motion by Commissioner Jaworski, seconded by Commissioner Nehring, that
the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission take no action on the Obscenity
Ordinance at this time, noting that we do not have the problem at this
time and our Attorney has stated in his letters of December 2, 1975
and December 5, 1975 that it would be unenforceable. Motion carried
unanimously.

Re: Obscenity Ordinance
Dear Deloris:
\
_/ Pursuant to our telephone conversation of December 4, 1975, regarding
my previous letter concerning distribution of obscene materials, it
is my understanding that the Planning and Zoning Commission is also
taking under consideration the adoption of an ordinance regulating
the distribution and exhibition of obscene material to adults.
As I am sure many of the Planning and Zoning Commission members are
aware, this has been an area in the recent past which has been the
subject of much litigation. A number of municipalities in the Twin
City area have attempted to regulate the same situation and have
met with little or no success. The U. S. Supreme Court in a recent
decision struck down an obscenity ordinance as being vague and overly
restrictive but stated that it may possibly uphold future ordinances
based upon a community standard of conduct. It did not, specifically
delineate what the community was to take into account in establishing
these types of restrictions.
While the U. S. Supreme Court did not completely eliminate the power
of the municipality to regulate this area, it has indeed made this a
nebulous area at best. Therefore, although the City of Andover may
choose to adopt this type of an ordinance, it may encounter numerous
problems in enforcing same against the adult population of the community.
Sincerely,
'.

He: Obscenity Ordinance
Dear Deloris:
/
I am writing in response to the Planning and Zoning Commission's
request for my opinion and comments in regard to a proposed
Obscenity Ordinance. I assume that this request is in response to
the citizen who raised the issue of her children being exposed to
possible obscene literature in the community. Therefore, I am
treating this matter as regulating the dissemination and distribution
of obscene materials to minors.
The Minnesota Legislat4re has already adopted regulations governing
this situation. I have enclosed a copy of the statute which makes
it a gross misdemeanor to involve minors in the sale and distribution
of such materials.
It is my belief that this state statute which is in force in the City
of Andover should cover the situation raised. If upon review of this
statute you feel the need for additional regulation, please advise.
Sincerely,
LJ~Jd'~~
William G. Hawkins
