SUBJECT: Review Select Companies Concept Plan-Planning
DATE:
July 27, 2004
INTRODUCTION
A developer, John Arkell from Select Companies, would like to once again show his latest plan for a
rural residential development that would have a communal sewer system. As you may recall this had
been previously shown to the Council at workshop on July 29, 2003. The basic request has not
changed; however small changes have been made and Select Companies would like show their latest
: ) plans to the Council.
DISCUSSION
Provided the Council is in agreement with this basic concept, the staff would begin writing a rural
cluster ordinance that would allow this type of development As you may recall, this developer has
done a similar rural cluster development in Lake Elmo, The developer wiU bring copies of the latest
concept plan to the meeting. Staff have told him that the presentation should be no more than fifteen
minutes aUowing fifteen minutes for questions,
ACTION REQUESTED
The Council is asked to allow the developer, Select Companies, to present the concept plan, If the
concept is considered acceptable, the Council is asked to direct the staff to work on bringing forward a
rural cluster development ordinance. The developer have indicated that if this is found acceptable,
they would work on the preliminary plat over the faU and winter months and be ready for construction
of streets and utilities next summer,

, Erar summarized the report and asked if they should go back and revisit the staging plan and
prov the Council with a staging plan that fits with the current reality of orderly growth within the
Commun Councilmember Orttel stated in the short term, until they are ten years out, this will
have a huge i ct if they do not meet their goals-
Council consensus was change the MUSA plan to allow people who are ready to develop to do
that and give others more ti 0 get ready to develop.
Mr. Erar stated they would bring this I
back in the next thirty to sixty days to review this again.
CONSIDER/SCHEDULE JOINT COUNCIL
POLICIES
TING/COUNTY TRANSPORTATION
City Administrator Erar explained that City staff recently met wit oug Fischer, Anoka County
Engineer to discuss a number of issues relating to City-County commu ' ation, county projects,
County Highway Department review of City plats and a desire to further dl ss certain County
transportation policies.
Consensus by the Commission was to have ajoint Council meeting for either August 26,
September 30, 2003.
.. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALlKUIKEN PROPERTY
Community Development Director Neumeister introduced Mr. John Arkell and Joel Larson from
Select Companies who presented a concept plan of a rural residential development that would have a
communal sewer system,
Mr. Neumeister explained that before they go any further with design or soil borings, they would
like to know what the Council thinks about the concept. They have had experience in doing this
type of development in Lake Elmo and would like Council input regarding the same thing in rural
Andover.
Mr, Arkell stated they have a parcel that is 300 acres with only 100 acres buildable, leaving the 200
acres not buildable for community activities. He explained the City's rural density would allow 120
units at two and a half acres and they are asking for more than 120 units because they will work with
the City's finance people and show them what they make on a unit and take the profit and build the
activity area. He stated it is the Council that is making it happen by allowing a greater density than
they normally would,
Mr, Arkell stated one of the other main things to deal with is the decentralized water treatment
system and they are hoping they can draw the City water to this site, Mr, Joel Larson stated he lives
in a development that has a communal septic system and it has worked out great,

Councilmember Jacobson asked if the soil in the area is adequate for development. Mr. Almgren
stated there are areas with peat and highland. Mr. Arkell stated they were lucky to spend some time
with the owners and they showed some areas that are uplands which were not taken into
consideration previously. He stated this is preliminary.
Mr. Erar stated a communal system is not new to Andover, the Rum River School has one. Mr.
Almgren stated the Rum River School was designed for something like this.
Councilmember Orttel stated there are rural areas that have started developing these. Mr. Dickinson
stated in Big Lake he has been involved in getting this to where they are today and a lot has to do
with Connexus being involved, Mr, Berkowitz stated the technology has improved,
Mr. Erar stated the MPCA regulates and licenses these and they go through a process and a proven
technology. There are still a lot of questions that need to be discussed, The density levels are at 2.3
acres per home, Councilmember Jacobson stated the density would be R-4 size,
:J
Mr. Erar stated the prices of single-family houses would be between $350,000 to $600,000. He
stated these would mostly be single family and town homes with two unit designs in the $200,000
range. Mr. Arkell stated their twin homes are almost one hundred percent senior. Mr. Erar stated
there are no rental units, Mr, Arkell stated their choice of homes is single family but they are trying
to get the count up because ofthe lack of buildable area.
Mr. Neumeister stated they would need to tweak some ofthe zoning ordinance regulations to make it
work and there are a number of challenges on the zoning, sewer, where it would go, the acceptance
of a communal septic system in the City, and the acceptance of a possible PUD in the area, which
has not been done before, He stated that ifit is done to the standards they are talking about and there
would be no repercussions back to the City, there would be a lot of gains.
Mr. Erar asked if the Council would be interested in a communal sewer system. Councilmember
Orttel asked how they would know if this would be good for the City. Mr. Erar stated there is a
person that could come and give a presentation to the Council regarding this and they would not be
setting a precedent because a system is already in use in the City,
Councilmember Jacobson stated he talked to the people at Connexus and they know these people
and he was told they are reputable, The technology is there, it is the matter ofthe cost and suitability
of the soil and it is more ofa political question than a technical question, His concern would be the
density and the mix of single family and townhomes.
Mr, Erar asked if there was interest in the Council to have additional information brought before
them, Council consensus was to get additional information brought back to them,
, \
\.J
Council member Orttel stated he thought this would be a great project because he could see it used in
other areas around the City.

Councilmember Jacobson expressed for the record he has a conflict of interest regarding this issue
because Connexus is involved in these types of systems and he has a relationship with Connexus,
Councilmember Trude stated there were some trenching and ditching systems and she wondered if
there would be sewer smell with this, Mr, Erar stated they went to see the development in Lake
Elmo and there was not any sewer smelL Mr, Berkowitz stated the only time they would smell
anything would be when the tank would be emptied,
Mr, Erar stated with this type of system, they would save money because they would not need to run
sewer lines and they would save on the cost ofinfrastructure being installed, Councilmember Orttel
stated it is a fairly low cost to run water to areas,

two parties this year. Mayor Gamache s d that was wonderfuL
Mr, Erar stated they would meet at the City Hal 6:00 p,m, on Tuesday, August 5,

SUBJECT: Planned Unit Development Ordinance-Planning
DATE:
July 27, 2004
INTRODUCTION
The City Planning staff have reviewed the Planned Unit Development ordinance and found that it is
inadequate for use in reviewing new requests for a Planned Unit Development approvaL
DISCUSSION
, '\ After looking at various other cities and how theirs was structured, staff concluded that a new PUD
J ordinance should be, patterned after one that is simple and straightforward, The two pages that are
attached represent the work of staff to keep it simple and directly related to what a "Planned Unit
Development" should include.
The most important part of the proposed amendment is that it requires developers to demonstrate how
each proposed alteration from typical zoning requirements contributes toward making a better project
than could be achieved if a particular zoning provision were applied, For example, it may be desirable
to reduce a front yard setback for back to back lots to preserve trees that can act as a buffer between
the rear yards,
At the Planning Commission's request, the current density ranges from the Comprehensive Plan are
referenced in the proposed ordinance. No density bonus is proposed as a part of the ordinance,
ACTION REOUESTED
The Council is asked to review the proposed ordinance amendment.

~ PUBLIC HEARING: ORDINANCE AMENDMENT (04-02) TO AMEND CITY
CODE 13-3 PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS.
Mr. Bednarz explained the City Planning staff have reviewed the Planned Unit
Development ordinance and found that it is inadequate for use in reviewing new requests
for a Planned Unit Development approval,
Mr. Bednarz stated that after looking at various other cities and how theirs was
structured, staff concluded that a new POO ordinance should be patterned after one that is
simple and straight-forward. Commissioner Vatne arrived at 7:05 p.m.
Acting Chairperson Kirchoff asked if this was the way they have been doing things prior,
Mr. Bednarz stated the land use district governs the density that is allowed for a project.
Motion by Jasper, seconded by Greenwald, to open the public hearing at 7:06 p.m.
Motion carried on a 5-ayes, O-nays, 2-absent (Casey and Daninger)vote.

carried on a 5-ayes, O-nays, 2-absent (Casey and Daninger) vote,
Acting Chairperson Kirchoff stated he read through this and what impressed him was it
seemed a lot shorter in volume than the previous ordinance, Mr, Bednarz stated this
covered everything needed in the ordinance.
Commissioner Greenwald asked where they addressed density. Mr. Bednarz explained
where in the information this was listed, He stated this ties it to the underlying land use
district, which is how they presently set the land use for density,
Acting Chairperson Kirchoff asked if this feU under contract development. Mr. Bednarz
stated in situations where there is a rezoning of property there is a contract between the
City and the developer to ensure that when the rezoning is done the product that is going
to be constructed fits into what the City's perception is,
Acting Chairperson Kirchoff stated it was not specifically tied to a P .U.D. Mr. Bednarz
stated this was correct.
Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Gamache, to recommend to the City Council
approval of Ordinance Amendment (04-02) to amend City Code 13-3 Planned Unit
Developments, Motion carried on a 5-ayes, O-nays, 2-absent (Casey and Daninger)vote.

at c in times there may only be one supplier or one provider within an area and it is not prudent to
go ou nd seek bids, The State recognizes that and they also recognize that in very small
commUnI .es where they are trying to keep dollars local, they do have some exemptions to do that,

Councilmember Jacobson stated he did not have a problem with what the are trying to do but in a
discussion with the City Attorney, they need to tie the Resolution to the A over Annual Income
Guidelines as determined by the City Council because the way it reads now, i oes not tie to this.

Planned Unit Development ordinance and found that it is inadequate for use in reviewing new
requests for a Planned Unit Development approvaL
Councilmember Trude stated generally they have had only townhome PUD's in the City. This could
allow the developer to come in and plat blocks and blocks and miles of property. Could they use
discretion and say they do not want to see five acres in the City in a PUD? Mr. Neumeister stated as
far as allowing a larger PUD that is up to the Council's discretion. The developer has to prove he
meets the findings required.
Discussion ensued in regard to what could be done in the City by the developer if they approve the
ordinance amendment.

lDER ORDINANCE AMENDMENTnEMPORARY STRUCTURES
Communi evelopment Director Neumeister explained on February 24, 2004, the City Council
reviewed gene information provided to them regarding "temporary structures". Council directed
that the staff and ning Commission review regulations for temporary structures, In reviewing
what could be done to tablish some type of performance criteria, staff thought that the standards
for temporary buildings s uld include: Duration of how long they may stay on a given property;
materials that they may be ma of; lighting and landscaping and location where they may be placed
on a site.
,
In discussing this topic at the Planning mission workshop on April 27, 2004, there was a great
deal of discussion regarding allowing tempo structures subject to approval of a Conditional Use
Permit (CU,P,), The Planning Commission t n held a public hearing on May 11, 2004 and
recommended that temporary structures be all owe ovided they are approved through the CU.P,
process.
Councilmember Jacobson stated he brought the question ofth efinition of a temporary structure
because it could be something other than a building, When they 10
or trailer.
Councilmember Jacobson thought they should have some control over the st tures that would be
long lasting. He did not mind staff taking care of some of them. Councilmembe
would like to have a time factor included in this,

Councilmember Trude liked the Ordinance overall but she thought construction trailers need
own letter because they would take longer than six months,

SUBJECT: Sidewalk Maintenance - Public Works
DATE: July 27, 2004
INTRODUCTION
Public Works would like to discuss winter maintenance procedures for trails and sidewalks.
F .
" )
DISCUSSION
Due to the steady increase in streets, cul-de-sacs and trails our ability to maintain our current
service level is going to start declining. We are very proud of the winter services we currently
provide and would like to continue this quality of service. All the routes are getting too large for
our operators to complete within a normal timeframe, which used to be considered 8-9 hours to
plow all streets, cul-de-sacs, trails and sidewalks. Last winter we were more in the area of 10-11
hours to complete every plow cycle and this coming season will increase again. It is being
recommended by Safety Councils that plow operators should not drive more than a 12-hour shift
for safety purposes. We have in the past worked up to 16 hours with short breaks if at all
possible. In the last six years though we have not had winters with long lasting, large amounts of
snow at one time or blizzard conditions to affect the 12-hour shift. So the question is what level
of service do we want to provide and in what timeframe?
Items for Review -
I, Consider a City ordinance which requires owner/occupant of any property adjacent to a
public sidewalk to remove snow, ice or other debris from the sidewalk,
a, Attached is a draft of a purposed sidewalk maintenance ordinance for review.
b. Results of a survey taken of other city sidewalk maintenance procedures -
City does clearing Owner/occupant does clearing
Blaine, Fridley, Brooklyn Park, Anoka
Brooklyn Center, Coon Rapids Champlin
2. Plow all city streets and roadways before any trail/sidewalk plowing begins.
, \
,
'-.-J"
a. This was the plowing operation prior to the school district changing the distance being
walked by a large number of students. We didn't want to see children walking in a
plowed street to avoid a snow-covered sidewalk.
u
3. Consider increasing staff and equipment so all streets, cul-de-sacs, trails and sidewalks
can be plowed at the same time as it was done in the past.
a. There has not been an increase in staff in the last six years, only replacements. Two
full time positions would be required.
b. We are one large plow truck short to bring the plow areas back down to a normal
working route,
4. Contract Services
a. Many cities do this and some are successful, while others are not, We are then at the
mercy of the contractor as to start and finish times, This is not always customer friendly
due to damages they leave behind and they do not always use proper equipment.
RECOMMENDA nON
The Public Works Division feels that if we had adequate staff and equipment our personnel
would do a better job and continue to provide a quality service that residents have come to
expect.

FROM: David D. Berkowitz, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Discuss Lift Station #4 Issues - Engineering
DATE: July 27,2004
INTRODUCTION
Improvements to Lift Station #4 (refer to attached location map) are needed to handle the additional
flow due to new development and to prevent pump failures that continue to occur from dust rags
("Swiffers", see attached picture) that are being disposed of in the sewer system.
DISCUSSION
Improvements to Lift Station #4 are needed as soon as possible due to the continued failures of the
pumps, The draft 2005-2009 CIP identifies needed improvements, The plan was to make these
improvements in the spring of 2005 to handle the additional flow due to the proposed Miller's Woods
and Country Oaks West developments. With the continuing pump failure issue resulting from dust
rags shutting down the pumps, staff recommends that the City Council consider moving these
improvements for construction this year. The pumps have failed 9 times since May of 2004. Pump
failures, if not address immediately, can cause sewer backups, which could result in expensive repairs
to the City. Notice regarding the dust rag issue was sent out in the July/August Newsletter. More
recently, letters have been set out to residents who are tributary to the lift station regarding the dust rag
Issue.
The latest pump failure occurred on July 21st. Both pumps were down in the lift station, One of the
pumps was plugged with rags and the other pump lost a bearing due to the additional pressure that has
been placed on the pump. The City is fortunate to have a backup pump that was used to keep the lift
station in operation.
BUDGET IMPACT
The Lift Station improvements would be funded by the Sanitary Sewer Trunk Fund. All units that are
tributary to the Lift Station pay a Lift Station Fee to fund the original construction and required
improvements.
ACTION REOUIRED
The City Council is requested to consider making improvements this year to Lift Station #4 as
discussed.

Project Name Lift Station Maintenance
Description
Replace the pumps in Lift Station #4 with larger capacity pumps, install a grinder in the manhole upstream of the lift station, increase the size of the electrical
service, install sensors to accurately monitor flow, and purchase a generator to run the lift station in case ora power failure.
Justification
Increased flow tributary to this lift station requires larger capacity pumps to replace the existing pumps. To minimize on-going maintenance problems and pump
failures with this lift station, a grinder will be installed in the manhole upstream of the lift station. The larger pumps will require a larger electrical panel. Flow
sensors will be installed to replace the existing floats in the wells. Flow sensors are a newer technology that more accurately monitors the flow levels and
optimizes cycling of the pumps. Purchase ofa generator would provide backup power in the event ofa power failure so a sewer backup is less likely to occur.

'---' SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM CONCERNS
There are many new cleaning products on the market. One of the products is the "Swiffer"
or similar type cloth, This product works very well and is easily disposed, if done in the
right manner, Unfortunately, we are finding that it is not always being disposed of properly.
This type of cloth needs to be thrown away in the trash - NaI' flushed down the toilet. The
problem arises when these cloths are flushed into the sanitary sewer system, Stoppages are
caused in the flow. If there is a pumping station on a particular line these cloths get into the
pumps, which cause the pumps to seize, Over the past couple of months we have had this
happen once a week. If this continues, the chances of a sewer backup occurring are
increased. It is very expensive to have the pumps repaired or replaced,
We need everyone's help in eliminating this problem.
PRAIRIE ROAD I BUNKER LAKE BOULEVARD SIGNAl
The design for a traffic signal at Prairie Road and Bunker Lake Boulevard is underway, A
traffic signal along with turn lane improvements will be constructed beginning early fall of
this year. The traffic signal will improve traffic movement from Prairie Road to Bunker Lake
Boulevard and just as important, create a controlled intersection for pedestrians to cross
Bunker Lake Boulevard and enter into Bunker Regional Park. The Anoka County Parks
Department will be constructing a trail this fall on the south side of Bunker Lake Boulevard
from the intersection to tie into the existing park trail system, The City Council has been
working on a safe crossing at this location for several years, Now it will become a reality.

PARK PLACE
Valerie Holthus, Park & Recreation

The crack of the bat, a crowd cheering for a
soccer goal - these are sounds signifying the
busiest season for Andover's parks. Now that
softball, baseball and soccer have started, it's
a good time to consider how parents can help
make the games enjoyable for everyone,
Parents' attitudes and behavior toward their
little athletes has a great effect on how
children feel about the game, their team and
themselves. Here are some pointers to help
make the games more enjoyable,
Be Positive: Kids can be very hard on
themselves and relive their mistakes in their
minds over and over, The last thing they
need to hear about is their mistake one more
time, When talking to children about their
performances, try to keep a 4-to-1 ratio of
positive to negative,
Remain Calm: When kids make a mistake,
you should remain calm and help them learn
from their mistake, Excessive yelling
becomes unsettling and distracting for the
players (and coaches and referees), Try
being quiet to help the players concentrate
and focus on their game.
Support the Coaches & Referees: By
showing support for the coaches and referees,
we model cooperation and maturity for our
children,
Respect: Not only is it important to show
respect for others, it is also important to show
respect for the park, Picking up and putting
garbage in the proper place, not mistreating
the park facilities and following the park
rules communicates a message to children
that it is not acceptable to abuse or misuse
public property.
Let's make this season a positive and fun
experience and at the same time teach our
children behaviors they will carry with them
into adulthood: cooperation, respect and
responsibility,
MAnONAl NIGHT OUT
Mark your calendars! National Night Out
(NNO) will be held August 3rd, NNO has
proven to be an effective, inexpensive, and
enjoyable program to promote neighborhood
spirit and police-community partnerships in
our push for safer communities. The
benefits your neighborhood will derive from
National Night Out will most certainly
extend well beyond the night,
If you would like to get on the list to receive
information about holding a NNO party,

Dear Resident:
Over the past few months the City of Andover has experienced major problems
with the sanitary sewer lift station which serves your area. The problem is what is being
flushed into the sanitary sewer system which flows to the lift station. Heavy paper towels
or some other form of product is getting into the pumps within the lift station and causing
them to fail and shut down. This is a very serious problem which could affect a good
portion of the system's users in this area, It is also a very expensive problem to fix.
When the system shuts down a crew is sent out to correct the problem by pulling one or
both pumps. With the amount of flow entering the station it is critical to have both
pumps in good working order to handle the flow so a backup into the system does not
occur. If a backup does occur, the chances of raw sewage entering a basement are
increased.
The City of Andover is requesting your help by not flushing any type of paper or
cleaning product other than toilet paper into the sanitary sewer system. Some items are
advertised as flushable, but at the present time we are having a big problem with cleaning
products that have shown to be a detriment to the system. Please help us protect the
sewer system and prevent a potential serious problem which could be very devastating to
you or a neighbor.
The City of Andover thanks you for your cooperation and understanding of the
very serious matter,
Respectfully,
Brian Kraabel
Public Utilities Manager

Capital Campaign
Giving is a well-established tradition in the United States. Americans generously give to
help others, The spirit of giving, or phnanthropy, is driven by the desire to make their
community a better place to live, This was again demonstrated in 2002 when individuals,
Foundations and corporations gave over $240 billion to religious, educational, social
services, community, and arts organizations, Giving 10 help others is part of what n means
to be a U,S. citizen.
"
" '
The City of Andover has hired a professional philanthropic fillTl, Saterbak and Associates,
to organize and coordinate a community fund raising effort Their mission statement
behind philanthropic giving is to "transfollTl communities and organizations by awakening
and renewing the philanthropic spirif through the empowellTlent of volunteers, utilization
time-tested models, and respond creatively to specific client challenges through the
services of skilled, experienced and ethical professionals,
People give in a variety of ways. The most common fOllTl is when they give annually to a
favorite charity, Their gift is used to provide ongoing programs and services to the
community, Another way they give is to fund a specific building project, developed in
response to community needs, The process to raise funds for a specifIC facility is
traditionally referred to as a Capital Campaign.
A Capital Campaign is an organized project led by community volunteers, The project is
implemented through Task Forces, which are created to:
. Identify and recrun the appropriate Campaign General Chair and other leaders
. Write a Case for Support that articulates the need to support the project
. Identify lists of prospective donors
. Develop and implement a communications plan to educate the community about the
project
As the Task Forces Complete their work, community members are enrolled to support the
project. The Campaign General Chair recruits additional leaders to begin the gift
solicitation process,

The Andover City Council initiated the Capital Campaign process in January of 2003 by
hiring Saterbak & Associate to provide campaign counsel. Saterbak and Associates, by
using time-tested models, have facilitated the recruitment of over 50 community volunteers
in the capital campaign process, As Campaign leaders recruit additional people to make
gift requests, that number will grow to over 150 community volunteers.
As the Campaign process continues the Andover community will be transformed through
the awakening and renewing of the spirit of giving or philanthropy. Volunteers will be
empowered as they work to make Andover a better place to live.
Campaign Goal
The Andover City Council has authorized this effort, which is anticipated to raise between
$3-$4 million of the $16,5 million needed to make this facility a reality, Committee
structures, consisting of resident volunteers have been organized and are working to
address the wide range of giving considerations. Mr, Tony Howard, a respected residential
and commercial builder, active as both a leader and participant in a wide variety of youth
sports associations, and a leader in the business community has been appointed by the
City Council as Campaign Chair to lead this volunteer citizen effort To fmd out more about

Marketing Assumptions
~)
As one of the fastest growing cities in the metropolitan area with a rapidly expanding student population
resulting in one new high school, one middle school, three elementary schools and one private school,

The City of Andover and the YMCA of Greater Minneapolis conducted separate research and
marketing efforts to determine the level of support and interest this type of facility would have not only in
Andover but in surrounding communities. The firm of Decision Resources, Inc, conducted a community
survey for the City, which was used by the Council to gauge the level of interest in a community center
and identify the most favored elements.

)> addressing day-to-day operational issues.
The Ice Arena Manager may also oversee Iim~ed operational and maintenance issues associated
with the Fieldhouse and Concession, however, position responsibilities will need to be balanced
and prioritized to meet the needs and demands of overseeing Ice Arena operations as the primary
consideration, Ensuring customer service excellence in meeting the needs of Ice Arena users will
be the first order of business for the Ice Arena Manager.
As the Ice Arena is scheduled to open in October 2004, the City will have this position filled no later
than the end of June 2004, with the assistant staffing positions filled no later than the beginning of
September 2004. Seasonal help will need to be hired in mid-September,
