Minutes - April 19, 2001

REVIEW ANDOVER STATION ASSOCIATION DOCUMENTS
Representatives of Advance Resources for Development, Mike Mulrooney, Dennis Grebner and
Brian Wessel were present. The EDA reviewed the draft of the Declaration of Covenants,
Conditions and Restrictions for Andover Station. Mr. Carlberg noted the draft before the EDA
includes changes and recommendations of the EDA members and the consultants. The following
discussions and changes were agreed to:
Pawn shops - In response to a question on whether or not pawn shops would be allowed in Andover
Station, Mr. Carlberg stated pawn brokers are allowed in certain areas of the City but would be
excluded from Andover Station because of the City's ordinance.
Page 10, Trails and Amenities - Discussion was on whether or not the City should do the actual
maintenance on all hiking trails, walkways and Common open spaces, or does the City leave that up
to the association to maintain. Mr. Carlberg stated the thought was the City would control what is
in the public right of way. The City shouldn't completely remove itself from having control over
the maintenance of those areas. It was agreed to amend the paragraph: "The City of Andover shall , \
control the maintenance of all hiking trails, walkways, COmmon open space, street light, landscaping,
and right of way and other site-related amenities through the collection of association fees from the
members of the Andover Station Association..."
Mr. Erar noted there has been discussion oflooking at the framework of the association and having
a City representative seated on the Association Board. That way there would be a direct relationship
between the City and the association. He agreed with the proposal to control the maintenance of the
trails, which would allow the City the OPportunity to create a separate association document which
would be brought back to the EDA for review. They are also looking at a service district concept
where the businesses would contract services for snow removal, upkeep of the amenities, etc. That
is a point of negotiation and would be incorporated into the association documents. He thought the
streets would remain the City's, but they are open to looking at the best way to handle that. Mr. Erar
stated as more and more development occurs, the document would be expanded and amended as
needed until it is fully built out.
Security - Councilmember Knight didn't see anything in the documents relating to security. He
wondered if that would be an issue since the City doesn't have its own police department. Mr.
Carlberg stated the City would rely on the county Sheriff s Department. If the association wants to
add, they could include those types of services if the City agrees. Mr. Erar stated site security would
be very similar to the man. They would hire their own security as a part of the fees they would
charge the tenant.
,
Mr. Carlberg also noted that these documents will apply to the existing businesses in the area Those
businesses will also have an opportunity to review these documents as well. Mr. Mulrooney stated
the proposed developer of Andover Station has not yet responded to these documents.

Page 18, Submittal Requirements and Design Review - Councilmember Jacobson felt the last
panigraph was overkill. Mr. Carlberg stated the EDA has accepted two lighting designs already, and
the thought was to maintain uniformity in lighting styles throughout the entire park. After some
discussion, the EDA agreed to change the section by incorporating the fIrst sentence of the second
paragraph as a part of the fIrst paragraph. The remainder of the second paragraph starting with
"OwnerlTenant shall submit..." to be deleted entirely.
Page 21, Sign Lettering _ Councilmember Jacobson asked for the rationale for limiting the signs to
not more than fIve words. He thought this too is overkill. Mr. Erar didn't know, but in his
experience in designing a down town, there needs to be a limitation in terms of what is aIlowed to
be placed on the signs. The problem becomes the clutter of signs. Control over the signage is
needed so the area doesn't become tacky or unsightly. Mr. Carlberg stated they would prefer to leave
the paragraph as is with the restriction. If they fmd it too restrictive, it can always be amended. No
change was made in this section.
Page 22, Building Signage _ It was noted the "attached table" referenced in the second to last line
is not included. Mr. Carlberg noted this may be a boiler plate notation. He wiIl correct this.
Discussion on gateway signage _ Mr. Mulrooney and Mr. Grebner pointed out the proposal of major
signs at the comer of Bunker Lake Boulevard and Martin Street and at Bunker Lake Boulevard and
Quinn Street. They have talked about another identity sign at Martin and Commercial Boulevard.
Whether or not the names of the major tenants will be on those signs is a negotiable item with the
developer. Councilmember Knight thought it is nice to know what is in that particular driveway.
Mr. Erar felt the EDA may want to leave that open for now and look at a variety of concepts for
gateway signs. Mr. Grebner explained the document is a narrative intended to supplement the regular
plan. It is intended to protect the City with regard to the overall vision. It also creates protection for
the investments of the developers as well. They were looking at a symbolic beIl tower in the center
of the development. It wouldn't have a light on it, and hopefuIly the gateway signs would be
subservient to it. Mr. Erar suggested possibly there would be no signage. Maybe the EDA just
wants an image.
In discussing the control the City has, Mr. Erar stated the EDA has a tremendous amount of control
and ability to exercise that control through the covenants. The EDA could relinquish control when
the park is developed, or it may have a City representation on the Association Board. That Board
could be structured to have the City representative have a single vote veto power. The EDA might
want to create a provision in the documents that any amendments to the original covenants must be
brought back to the EDA for approval.
I
. Empty stores _ Councilmember Knight noted an issue in other developments is companies moving,
leaving behind empty buildings. How does the City protect itself against this happening here?
CounciImember Trude agreed a vacant anchor tenant affects the entire portion of that community.

Minutes -April 19, 2001

(Review Andover Station Association Documents, Continued)
Mr. MUlrooney stated that is difficult to deal with. In this case, the developer is interested in keeping
it leased and full versus some developments where the facility is disposable. The developer in this
Case has a history of not moving, but buys and holds a project. They do not build and sell. A lot of
their profit comes from managing. Hopefully that will be some degree of comfort. He Was not
aware of any language that could be put in the documents to prevent vacant buildings.
Page 26, Housing - Councilmember Orttel noted the housing portion seems wide open. Mr.
Carlberg stated the Comprehensive Plan will dictate the density. This document does reference
conforming with the Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Carlberg stated with the issues raised and changes made this evening, Staff will modifY it and
work with legal counsel. He recommended it not be approved this evening. He will bring the final
document back to the EDA as Soon as possible.
,
ANDOVER STATION UPDATE
Mr. Mulrooney explained a developer has agreed to purchase Sites A, B and G with the balance of
the property to be acquired as an option immediately upon execution of the development agreement.
The optioned area would be for future development. The developer is also having discussions with
three major grocery store owners for an anchor food store on Site A. They have a commitment with
an established banking facility for a multi-store facility at the proposed location in the site plan.
They are also having discussions with a major drug retailer. The agreement calls for the purchase
of 19.3 acres at $3.19 per foot. The proposal is that Quinn Street going through the development
w?uld not be a public street but would be put in at the expense of the developer.
Mr. Mulrooney also presented a list of businesses his firm has contacted regarding Andover Station.
They are continuing to market this site, and there has been some interest. The vast majority would
be tenants rather than owners. He commented on his meetings with a restaurant franchise.
Restaurants are looking for the day lunch crowd. He felt the development to the north of this site
is critical for the Success of Andover Station. He noted his personal opinions on the grocery store
tenants that are being considered for this project.
Mr. Mulrooney continued that the developer of the site is proposing to contract with a residential
builder of homes for the housing component on Site G. The parcel would be sold to that housing
builder, who is proposing to construct town homes rather than the multi-level condos proposed on
the site plan. This builder is an up-scale townhome developer and has no interest in building condos '\
or commercial real estate for rent. The sentiment is that buildings with retail on the first floor and
condos above are difficult to finance and market. If the EDA is not interested in townhomes for Site
G, he felt the firm proposing to develop Andover Station would remove Site G from the project.
.

Minutes - April 19, 2001

(Review Andover Station Association Documents, Continued)
Discussion was on the density of the housing component of Andover Station. Mr. Grebner recalled
the site plan called for retail on the first floor of the outer buildings. The only way to get the density
was to go more than one level with parking underneath the building. The question is how much tax
revenue does the City get from a townhome development versus the condos. He sensed that the town
homes would be over $200,000 each, maybe as much as $300,000. Commissioner Hokanson felt
the community needs a mix of housing. There already is a lot of high-end housing in town, but there
is nothing for those earning $25,00 to $40,000 per year. The condo-type housing is very lacking
throughout the metropolitan area. She felt this could be a good area for that type of housing.
Mr. Erar stated there was discussion on having condos only on Site G without the retail, but the
developer is not interested in that either. The housing developer was chosen because they have a
reputation for quality. It would be difficult economically to have affordable housing in this area in
which the promotion has always been toward the upper-scale housing. Mayor Gamache noted in a
recent workshop there was a lot of discussion on ideas for affordable housing and dealing with PUDs
and different types of townhome developments. He too felt this is probably not the location for
/ affordable housing. A more feasible location for affordable housing may be on the north side of
Bunker Lake Boulevard. Councilmember Trude wondered if an executive apartment type building
is needed.
Mr. Carlberg stated Staff wants to see drawings of the proposed townhome development for Site G.
If the EDA would like to stay with the retail commercial on the ground floor with condos above, that
needs to be stated to the developer; but it should be recognized that it will be quite awhile before it
develops. The thought has always been to develop this area with high up-scale condos.
Councilmember Orttel felt the high quality housing is needed to maintain the integrity of the project.
He felt dummying down to get affordable housing in the area is getting off base with what has been
envisioned for this area. Councilmember Jacobson agreed, noting there are other areas in the City
where affordable housing will work. This is not the spot for it. Commissioner Larsen agreed there
is a need for the high-end housing out here. He is in favor of the upscale townhome development.
Mr. Carlberg suggested waiting until they receive a sketch plan of what is being proposed on the
housing component ofthe project. If it not agreeable to the EDA, it can say no, then continue with
the negotiations. Staff will continue to work with the developer on this project.
Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Jacobson, to continue the meeting beyond 9 o'clock. Motion carried
on an 8-Yes, I-Absent (Nowak) vote.
Mr. Grebner then presented the color range and materials that are suggested for the buildings in
J Andover Station. Other brick could be used as long as it is close in color. The idea is to allow
individuality but yet compatible with one another. The City will need to be constantly monitoring
the color and materials of the builders.

DISCUSS EXTENSION OF ADVANCE RESOURCES CONTRACT
Mr. Carlberg explained the one-year contract with Mr. Mulrooney for Andover Station expired April
1. The City is still negotiating with a large developer, so it is appropriate to extend that contract.
Mr. Mulrooney brought in a contract to extend this one plus to work on the development north of
Bunker Lake Boulevard as well. Staff would like the opportunity to review that last issue. There
has been some interest in developing the north side, so it may not be necessary to retain Mr.
Mulrooney's firm. The site plan for that area also needs to be updated and reviewed.
Motion by Ortiel, Seconded by Trude, to extend Mr. Mulrooney's contract for Andover Station.
DISCUSSION: Mr. Mulrooney stated the contract was expanded to the north property because he
was requested to do so at the last EDA meeting. He understood Staff must review it first. EDA
discussion was on the work done by Advance Resources, the length of time the contract should be
extended and whether or not it should be expanded to the north property. Mr. Carlberg stated the
firm did prepare the brochures and drawings for Andover Stations, has been in contact with many
firms and is pulling together the deal for the sale and development of Andover Station. That
developer did not come to the City but rather came through Mr. Mulrooney's architect via word of ,
mouth. He felt Mr. Mulrooney has fulfilled his obligations of the contract. He may not be needed
to market across Bunker Lake Boulevard, but his assistance and experience is needed to complete
the contract for the Andover Station development.
Councilmember Jacobson wondered if the contract expires, does the City pay the commission for
the option by the developer. Mr. Erar stated in his experience, Mr. Mulrooney is entitled to be
compensated under the terms and conditions of the original agreement for not only this sale but for
the property that is to be optioned. But he agreed it may not be necessary to expand the contract to
the north side, thinking that area will begin to sell on its own. EDA then agreed to extend the
contract to June 1 but not to expand it to include the property north of Bunker Lake Boulevard.
Councilmember Ortiel included in the motion to extend the contract to June 1,2001. Second
Stands. Motion carried on an 8- Yes, I-Absent (Nowak) vote.
DISCUSS DESIGN OF WDE SITEIIP99-78/0RDER PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
Mr. Carlberg suggested going back to the Leonard, Parker firm to update the site plan because of the
changes to the ball fields. The housing portion should also be included. There are no funds to
develop that site now until after the closing of the Andover Station project. That updated sfetch
will be brought back to the EDA for review. The EDA agreed.

DATE: June 26, 2001
INTRODUCTION
The Economic Development Authority (EDA) is requested to rescind Resolution No. EDA 002-
01 amending the By-laws expanding the EDA (attached).
DISCUSSION
On April 19, 2001, the EDA amended the by-laws to expand the EDA from a seven-member
board to a nine-member board. Staff in reviewing State Statute regarding the powers and
composition of the EDA has discovered that the maximum number of board members allowed by
law is seven. Therefore, the last two resident members appointed (Edward F. Schultz and Fred
Larsen III) cannot legally be members of the board. They may however, serve as non-voting
honorary members. As terms expire of other resident members, they maybe considered and
appointed to fulfill these vacancies should it be the desire of the EDA.
ACTION REOUIRED
The EDA is requested to rescind Resolution No. EDA 002-01 (dated April 19, 2001) by adopting
Resolution No. EDA 003-01 (dated June 26, 2001).

The Andover Station standards are the regulating zoning standards for the GB, General
"- Business Zoning District. Other standards in the zoning ordinance or other regulatory controls
/ notwithstanding, where there is conflict between the Andover station standards and specific
elements of the other City ordinances or regulations, the Andover station standards shall prevail.'
Where there is no conflict and when the Andover Station standards do not address a specific
instance, other City standards shall apply.
All new construction, modification or exterior alteration and colors must adhere to the
established architectural theme of the Property. The ARC shall consider compatibility during the
site plan approval process.
These design standards support the following goals:
. Economic Development
>- Create a setting that supports the long-term viability of Andover Station
Commercial Center.
>- Optimize job growth, residential opportunities, and tax revenue for the City of
Andover through the creation of an integrated and balanced project.
. Land Use
/ ;.. Concentrate development at intensities that bring within walking distance the
diverse activities that comprise an active community commercial center.
~ Provide a complementary mix of land uses, including retail, entertainment, civic
facilities, employment, housing, and community open space.
;.. Integrate community-serving open spaces and amenities throughout Andover
Station and make connections to the city trail system.
. Community Design and Architecture
~ Site and design buildings and landscaping for convenient walking distances,
enhanced pedestrian routes, and human comfort and safety.
'" Avoid pedestrian routes dominated by parking lots or blank walls.
,
~ Respect the site's valuable natural features, including its woodlands, ponds and
,
wetlands.
~ Encourage architectural diversity, within a unified whole.

)> Encourage energy conservation through architectural features, such as shading
"- devices, natural ventilation, and interior lighting.
/
)> Maintain high standards of quality in the construction of building and site
features.
)> Respect adjacent existing residential neighborhoods and emphasize compatibility
through design.
. Infrastructure
:? Provide streets that create comfortable walking environments while also allowing
safe vehicular movement.
:? Establish a network of interconnected internal drives and streets throughout
Andover Station and extend pedestrian connections to surrounding areas.
. Administration
:? Strive for the timely and orderly implementation of the Andover Sfation through
clear, concise standards.
:? Establish standards that are consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and
Andover Station's Master Plan.
The Andover Station Design Standards are intended to encourage creative application of
specific design principles to the commercial center site (refer to Exhibit B - Regulating Plan).
The goal of the design review process is to provide a framework for performance based
communication, collaboration, negotiation and accommodation. The following are the primary
categories of the Andover Station Design Standards:
2.01 Site Plan
2.02 Landscaping
2.03 Architecture
2.04 Parking
2.05 Lighting
2.06 Signage
2.07 Construction and Maintenance
2.08 Residential
2.01 Site Plan The Andover Station Site Plan specifies the essential physical features
for the Andover Station Commercial Center including required streets, build to lines, building
locations and entrances, gateways, landmark towers, landscape frontages, ponds and public trails.

'\ . Build-to Lines
/
Build-to Lines define locations where buildings must be built within a certain distance of
the public right-of-way or the ponds. Bringing building fronts close to the edge of streets,
or ponds and wetland enhance continuity, attractiveness and intimacy of pedestrian
spaces. Specific regulations for Build-to Lines are:
}> Build-to Lines occur at the edge of the dedicated right-of-way, where property
meets a publicly accessible street, path or water and wetland amenity.
}> To contribute towards meeting the Build-to requirement, building facades must be
sited within zero to ten feet of the public right of way.
}> Parks or plazas may be used to satisfy up to 20 percent of the build-to
requirement, and must be landscaped with shade trees and furnished with seating
areas.
> Standards for Build-to Lines and associated elements such as minimum building
height, building frontage and building entry as well as window placement and
frequency are described in greater detail in the Architectural Standards Section.
. Landscaped Frontages
,
Landscaped Frontages shall be used to extend a sense of enclosure to the street in
locations where street-facing buildings are not required. Landscaped frontages will also
screen views of parking lots and loading areas, and will help establish a unique project
identity. Landscaped frontages will be maintained.
. Required Building Entries
The Andover Station Site Plan shows locations where major building entries should be
encouraged to create important pedestrian and visual connections. These entries are
located at important corners or intersections, typically where larger stores would locate.
Placing entries at these locations helps ensure that the buildings relate to the street and
that pedestrians have a direct route of entry to the buildings. Pedestrians passing through
these entries establish a critical mass of activity at major corners and near public areas.
. Towers
Towers are required in the designated locations to mark major destinations and gateways.
The towers will terminate important local vistas and visually announce the Andover
Station Commercial Center from Bunker Lake Boulevard and Commercial Boulevard.
/
Andover Station
Commercial Park Covenants

Towers of high architectural merit are called for as shown in the prototype elevations.
, Towers must be integrated into a building. The towers may not exceed a: height of 65
I
feet, plus minor projections not to exceed one foot in width and five feet in height (a total
of 20 feet above the maximum building height). Signs on towers shall be prohibited.
. Gateways
Entrances to the Town Center shall be marked by distinctive features that announce the
Andover Station, Commercial Center and foster a memorable sense of arrival.
. Buildings
>- Quality and Materials
Each building located within the Property shall be built in a good and work-like
manner with high quality, first-class building materials. The design and location
of buildings constructed on a lot shall be attractive and shall compliment existing
structures and the surrounding natural features and topography with respect to
height, design, finish, color, size and location. The following standards shall be
adhered to:
A) Masonry material shall be used. Color shall be introduced through colored
block or panels and not painted block.
B) Brick may be used upon approval of the ARC to assure uniformity.
C) Block shall have a weathered, polished, fluted or broken face.
D) Concrete may be poured in place, tilt-up, pre-cast, and shall be finished in
stone or textured finish, and coated.
E) Metal siding is prohibited, except as an accent material upon approval of the
ARC.
F) All accessory structures shall be designed and constructed with materials
compatible with the primary structure.
G) All roof mounted equipment shall be screened by walls of compatible
appearing material or camouflaged to blend into the building or background.
Wood screen fences are prohibited. All exterior machinery, tanks, etc., are to
be fully screened by compatible materials.

\
/ H) Acceptable materials will incorporate textured surfaces, exposed aggregate
and/or other patteming. All walls shall be given added architectural interest
through building design and/or appropriate landscaping. The buildings shall
have varied and interesting detailing. The use of large unadorned concrete
panels and concrete block, or a solid wall unrelieved by architectural detailing,
such as change in materials, change in color, fenestrations, or other significant
visual relief provided in a manner or intervals in keeping with the size mass,
and scale of the wall and its views from public ways shall be prohibited.
1) Each building shall contain one or more architectural treatments such as
towers, arches, vaults, entryway projections, canopies and det,ailing to add
additional interest and articulation to structures.
J) There shall be no underdeveloped sides of buildings visible from public right-
of-ways. All elevations visible from the street shall receive nearly equal
treatment and visual qualities. Windows shall be incorporated into areas that
front streets, sidewalks or trails, when appropriate.
K) Other materials may be approved by the ARC or EDA if determined to be in
conformance with existing design and character of the Property.
L) Review and approval of building materials by EDA.
/
>- Minimum Height
Street facing buildings must be at least 20 feet high. Minimum building height is
measured relative to the finished grade. Minimum height is measured to the
highest point of the roof, excluding minor lengths of parapets, cupolas, or other
discontinuous projecting features. Continuous parapets or false fronts and peaked
. or sloped roofs do qualify towards meeting the minimum height.
>- Maximum Height
In all locations, the maximum allowable building height is 45 feet, measured at
the tallest part of the building.
>- Minor Projections
Minor projections and special architectural features such as clock towers, bell
towers, cupolas and ornamental portions of parapet walls may extend up to 10 feet
I
Andover Station
Commercial Park Covenants

above the maximum height, provided they make up no more than one third of the
, length of a building's facade.
/
. Common Site Maintenance Responsibilities
The Andover Station Association shall control the maintenance of all hiking trails,
walkways, common open space, street lighting, landscaping, and right of way and other
site-related amenities through the collection of association fees from the members of
Andover Station Association established by the Economic Development Authority.
Pedestrian access shall be provided from each site to the public sidewalk and/or trail
system.
2.02 Landscaping All areas on any lot or parcel not used for buildings, storage, parking,
walkways, access roads, or loading areas shall be suitably graded, drained and sodded,
maintained and landscaped with greens and shrubs so as to provide a park-like setting and to
screen parking and road areas.
Landscaping plans are required for all developments and are subject to the approval of the
EDA, as part of the site plan approval process. All lots and parcels shall be landscaped within 90
days of substantial completion of construction and issuance of Certificate of Occupancy in
accordance with approved plans. All landscaping associated with substantial completion during
the Winter must be escrowed in accordance with Building Department requirements.
,
/ The landscape design should be complementary to common areas and previously
developed areas. Plantings should provide for seasonal interest and should include a selection of
coniferous and deciduous plants. Natural landscaping and indigenous vegetation shall be
permitted and are encouraged in those areas not associated with the formal entries and common
areas or buffers between properties that may be negatively impacted by said landscaping. Annual
flowers are recommended to accent or supplement the landscape plan. All landscaped areas must
be irrigated.
The approved plan for landscaping a building site may not be altered substantially
without submitting a revised plan to the EDA for approval.
. Site Planning to Preserve Natural Assets
While the network of required streets is fixed, many site decisions remain for other streets
and for buildings.
:;. Views and Vistas
Site planning shall recognize the role that street alignment and topography
contribute to visual prominence. High points on the land and vistas along
Andover Station
Commercial Park Covenants
June 15,2001
- 10-
" common routes provide unique opportunities to site important buildings, building
/ entrances, plazas and monuments. Doing so will add recognizable landmarks that
can make the Andover Station a memorable place.
~ Grading
Site planning shall minimize grading when locating streets and buildings. When
areas with slopes must be graded, landform-grading techniques shall be used and
slopes exceeding 1:4 shall be avoided. Rounded forms that use concave and convex.
shapes help conceal cuts by presenting a more natural look. Varied slopes also
disperse drainage flows, reducing the potential for erosion and allowing more
percolation. Concentrating drainage in concave swales also enhances on-site storm
water retention and minimizes the need for large detention areas off-site. If required,
any retaining walls shall not exceed five (5) feet in height.
~ Landscaped Frontages
A twenty-foot wide landscaped buffer must be placed where parking lots abut local
and surrounding streets. However, care shall be taken to design and site the buffers
such that they do not provide ambush points or obstruct views.
~ Connecting Walkways
, Connecting walkways must meet the following minimum requirements:
~ Width and Clearance
The width of the paved walking surface must be at least six (6) feet clear. Any
covered structure such as trellis must have at least ten (l0) feet clear height, but must
not obstruct visibility or provide hiding or ambush places.
~ Paving
Connecting walkways must be paved with a special paving or concrete in a pattern or
color that contrasts with the surround pavement.
~ Tree Planting
Connecting walkways must be planted with either shade trees spaced thirty (30) feet
on center or a shade structure such as a trellis with climbing vines.
J
Andover Station
Commercial Park Covenants
June 15,2001
- II -
Lighting
\
Connecting walkways must be equipped with lighting on one side, at least three (3)
feet in height in order to be visible in deep snow drifts or snow banks. Lighting
standards spaced a maximum of thirty-feet apart and a maximum of te~ (I 0) feet tall
are recommended.
2.03 Architectural Standards
. Building Entries and Windows
Building massing shall be designed to highlight the location of building entries. Primary
pedestrian entries shall be clearly expressed and be recessed or framed by a sheltering
element such as an awning, arcade, porch or portico. Greater height may be used to
accentuate entries in the form of tower elements tall openings, or a central mass at an
entry plaza.
. Reveals
Windows and doors must be recessed at least two inches from walls or exterior trim to
create shadow for visual interest.
. Building Scale and Definition
The guidelines in this section are intended to create buildings with a human scale, making
Andover Station Commercial Center more pedestrian-friendly and pleasant place to walk.
>- Structural Legibility and Articulation
Facade articulation is required. Building fenestration (windows and doors) and
changes in mass shall relate to structural system(s) and the organization of interior
space. Vertical architectural features such as columns and piers help articulate
building mass.
);> Roof FormIRooftop Equipment
A variety of roof forms are permitted. Changes in roof form must correspond
with a building's structural bays and massing. Mechanical equipment must be
integrated into overall mass of a building and screened behind parapets or
recessed into hips, gables, parapets and similar features. Plain equipment boxes
are not acceptable.

- 12 -
\ . Materials and Methods of Construction
Buildings shall support regional traditions and maintain a high level of craft in the
process of construction. Wood, masonry, brick, rock face block, stucco and stone are
appropriate building materials. See recommended materials palatte, Exhibit C.
(Samples available at Andover Community Development Office.)
>- Consistency
Exterior materials and finishes shall convey a sense of integrity and durability.
Buildings must incorporate consistent, pedestrian-scale textures and details on all
sides that are visible from public streets and pedestrian pathways.
~ Glass
Clear glass must be used for windows and doors; mirrored glass is prohibited.
~ Simulated Materials
,.
Materials that are visibly simulated or prefabricated are prohibited. Scored
plywood (such as T 1-11) is prohibited.
~ Proper Application and Detailing
Materials must be properly applied and correctly detailed, especially at the base of
buildings, along cornices, eaves, parapets or ridge tops and around entries and
windows. Material changes must not occur at external corners, but may occur at
reverse or interior corners or as a return at least four feet from external corners.
. Energy Conservation and Climatic Response
The effects of the Minnesota climate can be mitigated through intelligent building design,
configuration and landscape treatments. The following approach will also f?ster regional
sense of place.
~ Day lighting
Day lighting techniques minimize the need for electric lighting and can reduce
peak-hour energy consumption by as much as 20 percent. While windows are the
most common form of day lighting, light from windows rarely penetrates more
than about 20 feet. Additional day lighting can be obtained with clerestories, light
shelves and skylights.
j
Andover Station
Conunercial Park Covenants
June 15.2001

, ~ Ventilation and Thermal Mass
,
To lessen dependence on air conditioning, natural cross ventilation shall be
maximized. Operable windows, transoms, doors, and vents shall be located to
facilitate airflow across a space. These openings are especially useful on sides
facing toward and opposite prevailing winds.
~ Passive Heating and Cooling
Site and building design shall consider passive heating and cooling strategies such
as deciduous tree plantings that provide shade in the summer and sun in the
winter. Heat-retaining thermal mass (such as concrete or brick) designed into
building walls or columns absorbs heat during the day and radiates heat at night.
Building design that shades opening reduces direct heat gain during the day.
Shading elements can also add dimensionality to building facades. Eaves or
awnings can be sized to shade windows in the summer but admit sun in the winter
when the sun is lower in the sky.
~ Pedestrian Shelter
Building exteriors shall provide pedestrians shelter from the sun, rain and snow.
, Awnings, entry porticos, arcades and overhanging eaves are particularly
appropriate at pedestrian pathways. Garden structures such as trellises and arbors
