PUBLIC HEARlNG/PRIVATE KENNEL LICENSE/1130-179TH A VENUE NW
City Administrator Dickinson stated a public hearing has been scheduled to consider approval of a
private dog kennel license requested by Norma Jeanne and John Ellis at 1130-179th Avenue NW,
Mr. Dickinson stated due to a complaint regarding dogs running at large and the fact that there are
more than 3 dogs at the Ellis residence staff contacted Mr. and Mrs. Ellis to inform them of the
requirement for a kennel license. An application for a kennel license was completed and the
appropriate fee was paid. All property owners within 350 feet of the Ellis residence were notified of
the public hearing. Letters from three of the neighbors have been received. The applicant is
requesting a private kennel for eight dogs. Staff contacted the Sheriff s Office for reports regarding
the dogs and two reports were received, one from 1998 and one from 1999.
Councilmember Trude asked if someone from staff had a chance to observe the fencing around the
property. Mr. Dickinson noted the pictures in the staff report regarding the fencing.

Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - January 18, 2005

Councilmember Trude wondered ifthere is anything in the Ordinance they should have looked at.
She wondered if there were any rules for a private kennel because it is obvious from neighbors'
letters, their concerns regarding granting a license.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Trude, to open the public hearing at 7:07 p.m. Motion carried.
Mrs. Norma Jeanne Ellis stated they have applied for the kennel license in order to be in compliance
with the City Ordinance. She stated they currently have eight dogs which are all licensed with the
City of Andover. She stated they do not plan to breed or sell the dogs.
Mrs. Ellis stated they have installed a fence and had the dogs debarked so they cannot bark loudly.
She stated they have tried to improve the property in order to keep the neighbors happy.
Councilmember Trude stated in one of the letters, it was noted Mrs. Ellis put a letter in the
neighbors' mailboxes stating they would get rid of all but three dogs and apparently this has not been
done. Mrs. Ellis stated they have had the dogs debarked and installed a fence. She is in the process
of getting rid of two more dogs.
, ,
. \
V
Councilmember Jacobson asked how the application for the private kennel license came about. Mrs.
Ellis stated it was due to a complaint from a neighbor.
Councilmember Trude wondered if all of the dogs were debarked. Mrs. Ellis stated all but one is but
they have had a lot of burglaries in the area and she feels safer if one dog could alert her if needed.
Mrs. Ellis stated she would be willing to put up a privacy fence to hide the dogs from the neighbors.
Councilmember Jacobson asked if Mrs. Ellis realized that if the kennel license is not approved, they
would need to get rid of all but three dogs. Mrs, Ellis stated she understood this.
Mayor Gamache stated they would need to have a way of getting rid of the waste from the dogs and
he wondered if this has been taken care of. Mrs. Ellis asked for ideas and information on how to go
about doing this.
Mr. Dickinson read the eight conditions of the kennel license.
Councilmember Trude wondered if these are reviewed on an annual basis. Mr. Dickinson stated they
could review this annually.
Mr. George Summerfelt, 17745 ??, stated there has been a number of dogs on the property at one
~) time. He stated the dogs start barking and continue to bark non-stop for over three hours at a time.
Mrs. Ellis agreed the situation is not good but she thinks the problems have been solved.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Trude, to close the public hearing at 7:30 p.m. Motion carried.
o
Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - January J 8, 2005
Page 4
Councilmember Trude stated it does not sound like a very good situation for the neighbors. She did
not know if there has been enough change to approve a license.
Mayor Gamache stated the issue he has seen with the dogs is that when they are outdoors, one begins
to bark and that sets off the rest. When you have more dogs, they are more difficult to keep under
control.
Mrs. Ellis stated the two dogs that are not debarked are poodles and have high pitched barks. She
stated they try to let the dogs out a few at a time. She stated the dogs live in the house.
Councilmember Trude asked if Mrs. Ellis has ever done obedience training. Mrs. Ellis stated she has
done some training on some of the dogs.
Mayor Gamache stated he may be able to go along with granting something if they had a stipulation
that come spring they had some kind of follow up that the barking is being controlled.
(J
Councilmember Orttel asked if they could issue a temporary license to check for performance for six
months. City Attorney Hawkins stated they could do that. Councilmember Orttel stated he would
like to do this because this will give the City more control if there is a problem.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Trude, to deny the private dog kennel license based on past
problems with the property, negative letters from the neighbors and past reports from the Sheriff's
Office over the past couple of years.
Mayor Gamache asked what the process is to come in compliance with this and would they have to
approve the license once they came in compliance. City Attorney Hawkins stated they would be
willing to work with the residents and give them time to find homes for the dogs.
Mayor Gamache stated he would be willing to approve the license but would want to have a set time
frame to check and see if things have improved.
Mayor Gamache wondered if things improved, could the applicant reapply for the license. City
Attorney Hawkins stated he did not think there is a time period in which they cannot reapply but he
thought there had to be a change in conditions if this were to be approved. He stated they will still
have three dogs on the property and the City will have an idea if things are working out. He thought
they would send a code enforcement officer out to check on the situation.
Motion by Jacobson, to amend the motion to give the applicants ninety days to comply.
o
There was no second so the motion died. The original motion will stand.
Councilmember Trude stated the letters from the neighbors were from 17844 Xeon Street NW,
17817 Yellow Pine Street NW, and 1110 1 79th Avenue along with testimony at the public hearing all
(j

recommending denial of the license.
Motion carried unanimously.
Mrs. Ellis noted a neighbor's dog comes into their yard every day, one of the neighbors who wrote a
letter of complaint, and she will start to hold the dog and call the sheriff to report this,
CONSIDER DRIVE THROUGH/TCFILOT 1, BLOCK l/ANDOVER MARKETPLACE J!'D
ADDITION
Community Development Director Newneister explained drive throughs are conditional uses in the
General Business Zoning District. Review of this permit is intended to ensure adequate stacking for
vehicles and to ensure the noise and lighting associated with this type of use will not adversely affect
surrounding properties.
CJ
Councilmember Orttel asked what the timeframe is. Mr. Newneister thought it was for sometime in
the year 2007 but once a Conditional Use Permit is granted, they have one year to act or it can
become expired so he would expect them to be back a year from now, either getting an extension or
trying to get the building up.
Councilmember Trude thought Councilmember Jacobson had some issues he presented at the EDA
meeting and she wondered if this was noted.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, to approve the Conditional Use Permit subject to the
conditions ofthe attached resolution with a change to item two. He would like to have the following
wording added after evergreen trees "and/or other appropriate screening".
Mayor Gamache thought they could even have fencing to block lights from neighbors,
Motion carried unanimously. (Res. No. R0l3-05)
CONSIDER CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT/PERMITTED USES LOT 1,
BLOCK 2, GREY OAKS
Community Development Director Newneister stated the applicant is requesting a Conditional Use
Permit to amend the Planned Unit Development (PUD) Approval for Grey Oaks for Lot 1, Block 2.
" " Mr. Newneister stated a letter dated January 14,2005 from Jodi Hesimovich, 1736 155th Avenue,
\.J explained her objection to the retail trade and services being expanded onto this property.
Councilmember Jacobson stated they were very specific on what they allowed on the PUD. To
change it now would this require a four/fifths vote. City Attorney Hawkins stated it did not.

Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - January 18, 2005
Page 6
Councilmember Jacobson stated he looked in the Comprehensive Plan and it only shows the two
parcels to the east. Staff indicated there was a map drafting error and would have to be premised on
Met Council approval.
Councilmember Trude wondered if a daycare is allowed in residential zoning areas so it does not
need to be commercial. Mr. Neumeister noted discussion from the City Council minutes from June
2002 which showed a restriction on one lot only for a daycare. He stated the Met Council would
need to approve this.
Mr. Neumeister discussed with the City Council previous discussions regarding this item.
Councilmember Jacobson asked if they had the actual application for this. Mr, Neumeister stated it
could be provided.
Councilmember Trude asked if there was any discussion in previous minutes regarding the daycare.
Mr. Neumeister stated there could be but he did not have time to review everything.
o Councilmember Jacobson asked if the original application stated there would be a drycleaner on the
property and did the applicant withdraw that part of the application. The applicant, Mr. Rudnicki,
indicated it was withdrawn and he would be willing to state this in a letter.
Councilmember Orttel wondered what commercial businesses meant and what types of businesses
he plans to put in. Mr. Rudnicki stated he wanted to put a dance studio in along with possibly some
other service type business such as a tae kwon do studio.
Mrs. Rudnicki stated the hours of the dance studio are 4:30 until 9: 15 Monday through Thursday and
a couple of classes during the summer that would be from 4:00 to 7:00 a couple days a week. She
stated they do not have the dance studio on Fridays or weekends because that is their family time
together.
Mayor Gamache asked if there have been any problems with noise and what would they do to
eliminate noise. Mrs. Rudnicki stated they have never previously had problems with noise at their
previous or current location. He stated they insulate the inside of the building well.
Mr . Jeremy Schraeder, 1727 15 5th Avenue, is against anything being at that location except for a day
care. If a dance studio is allowed, there will be added traffic in the evening and would disturb their
peace and quiet and would not allow them to enjoy their time outdoors. He stated there are too many
other businesses that could be allowed to go in that would not be acceptable to him.
()
Councilmember Trude wondered ifthey had any issues for a dance center. Mr. Schraeder stated this
PUD is for a daycare center and that is what should be there,
Councilmember Jacobson did not know if a dance studio could be allowed in there because it
('
u
Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - January 18, 2005
Page 7
specifically states dancing would not be allowed. Mr. Rudnicki stated the City Planner indicated to
him that what would not be allowed was something such as a restaurant or bar that would have
dancing.
Councilmember Orttel stated it seems to him that with a dance studio they have people car pooling
and parents usually do not stay. They will drop their kids off and pick them up. He thought the issue
was the dry cleaner processing on-site. He had, in his mind, part of the building was going to be
dance/daycare and the rest would be office retail. He now has the understanding that this will all be
office retail which could mean anything. He stated once they authorize this, they have no say in what
types of businesses will go in.
Mr. Cory Schraeder, 1755 155th Avenue, stated when they moved in a few years ago, they were told
the use was going to be a daycare.
Mrs. Nicole Schraeder, 1755 155th Avenue, stated they currently do not have a deck on their house
but if they do put a deck on the house, they will be bothered by noise, traffic and lights from the
business.
(J Ms. Jodi Hesimovich, 736 15 5th Avenue, stated when she called the City she was told there would be
a drycleaner and dance studio located there which caused her some concern. She stated that when
she built, they were told of the specific uses in the area and they were fine with them and they did not
include what is being proposed.
Mayor Gamache stated because this is set up as a daycare, the hours have not been restricted so this
could be a daycare that could take in after hours childcare.
The City Council discussed options for this site and the concerns of the residents.
Mr. Rudnicki stated they limit their class size to eighteen students and the land value is not devalued.
He would like to meet with the residents to discuss this further with them.
Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Trude, to table the item until the February 15, 2005 City Council
meeting to review the uses with City staff.
Mr. Schraeder stated he would not be willing to discuss other uses on this site. The allowed use is a
daycare and that is what should be placed there.
Motion carried 3 ayes, 1 nay (Jacobson).
.:J
ACCEPT PETITION/ORDER FEASIBILITY REPORT/05-6/1487 _148TH LANE NW/SS & WM
City Engineer Berkowitz explained the City has received a petition from the property owner of 1487
_ 148th Lane NW requesting the improvement of sanitary sewer and water main, Project 05-6.
/~ Regular Andover City Council Meeting
\_J Minutes - January 18, 2005
Page 8
Councilmember Trude wondered if there is a requirement that if one utility was requested, they
needed to extend both. Mr. Berkowitz stated in order to have this size oflot after the lot split, City
Ordinance states they must have sewer but it does not state they must have water. Councilmember
Trude thought they should discuss this at a workshop.
Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Jacobson, to approve the resolution declaring adequacy of petition
and ordering preparation of a feasibility report for the improvement of sanitary sewer and water main
in the area of 148th Lane NW and other properties in the area. Motion carried unanimously.
The City Council recessed at 9:45 p.m.
The City Council reconvened at 9:50 p.m.
(J
Councilmember Orttel thought he needs to redo the motion because it referred to a full petition by all
parties involved and they only had a petition from one homeowner.
Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Trude, to rescind the previous motion and to reconsider the
resolution on the improvements on 148th Lane. Motion carried unanimously.
Motion by Trude, Seconded by Ortte!, to approve the petition received for 1487 - 148th Lane NW
and the Council notes that they are aware of need and direct staff to prepare a feasibility report for
the vicinity of that property on 148th Lane. Motion carried unanimously. (Res. No. R014-05)
CONSIDER LOT SPLIT/341516TD LANE NW
Community Development Director Neumeister stated the applicant proposes to create a new rural lot
and retain a ten acre lot for the existing home to preserve the green acres status of the property. This
lot split is located adjacent to a temporary cul-de-sac at 162nd Lane NW.
Councilmember Trude stated on the property to the west, if all of the property abuts public streets,
why the thru street would need to be connected. Is it in the transportation plan? Mr. Berkowitz
stated at this time, it is a City Street and not part of the transportation plan.
o
Councilmember Jacobson stated Meadow Creek School has a contract for deed with the property
owner and they are planning on building within two years. He stated the school will be on the south
side of the property closer to 161 sl and on the north side of the property they would have athletic
fields.
Councilmember Trude asked if there was a concern about taking an escrow in for an unspecified
amount of time, City Attorney Hawkins stated they could not keep the escrow indefinitely but
(-------.. Regular Andover City Council Meeting
U Minutes - January 18, 2005
Page 9
thought they should escrow for this.
Councilmember Orttel stated in the past the reason they did not collect surety money was because
they required the road to go to the end of the property line. Mr. Neumeister stated this was correct.
Mr. Berkowitz stated if a road is not extended, they would need to install a temporary cul-de-sac
within the undeveloped property to meet the front footage.
Councilmember Jacobson stated if the applicant moved the lot line north so it is squared off, they
would meet the setbacks and would not need to put in the temporary cul-de-sac. He stated he would
lose the green acre designation but may save some money. The applicant stated his original plan was
to split the lot without green acres but his wife told him they need to keep the green acres.
Mr. Neumeister stated if the applicant were to make the lot rectangular, the road would need to be
built all the way across which would not save any money. He stated a cul-de-sac lot has shorter
frontage than regular road frontages.
CJ
The applicant stated he is flexible and wants to work with the City but he has promised the lot to
someone to build on. He stated he does not have a problem with an easement or selling another
parcel ofland if the road has to go through. He stated Mr. Bednarz noted he could give the City an
easement. He stated it is difficult to get a bond because there are a lot of requirements so he would
be willing to give an easement.
Mr. Berkowitz stated there is a letter of credit he could submit but he would need to have the money
available. The applicant stated he cannot give the $54,000 surety because there is too much
involved.
Councilmember Orttel wondered if they could retain a letter of assessment for this. City Attorney
Hawkins stated the deferred assessment protects this because it actually gets recorded.
The City Council discussed with the applicant options regarding this property.
Councilmember Jacobson stated even if the school was not built, they still had options on 161 sl and
Tulip for access so they would not need to put a street in at 162nd.
Councilmember Orttel stated the developer has to pay all improvements that are caused by his
development.
':J
Mr. Berkowitz stated if this is a deferred assessment, they need to go through the 429 process. City
Attorney Hawkins stated they could do a development contract with a delayed completion date.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Trude, to table this issue until the February 15,2005 City Council
meeting to allow legal council and staff to work out details. Motion carried unanimously.

at least one voting member present at the Board of Review meeting must have attended a training
course developed or approved by the Minnesota Commissioner of Revenue. This training session
must be completed prior to January 1,2006 and each year thereafter.
Councilmember Jacobson asked if this had to be done every year. It was indicated it did.
Councilmember Jacobson volunteered to attend the training session.

session on February 7, 2005. Motion carried unanimously.

Human Resources Manager Peitso stated per the contract for the City Administrator, the 6-month
