The Park Commission worked 45 on determining what amenities could be added or removed from the City's parks over the next 20 46 to 30 years to reach the City's future goal for the parks. Mr. Butler higWighted the significant Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes - August 23, 2011 Page 2 1 items in the City's Comprehensive Plan including the purchase of additional land for expanding 2 Hawk Ridge Park and further developing Oakview Park to include a boardwalk. All the red line 3 items are new items to this plan and the items that have a line through them are either completed 4 or will not be included in the future plan because the City's plans and priorities have changed. 5 6 Councilmember Trude stated the plan does not follow all of the Council directives or plans and 7 includes items the Council does not necessarily support at this time. 8 9 Councilmember Jacobson stated the Council had requested the paving of the City's park parking 10 lots be included in this plan but given the cost the City may want to reconsider this directive in 11 order to save money. 12 13 Mr. Butler stated the Comprehensive Plan includes things that the City may want to have done 14 over the next 20 to 30 years in order to achieve the City's future goals for the parks. The parking 15 lot paving was not included in the Comprehensive Plan but is included in the Capital 16 Improvement Plan. Mr. Butler indicated the Park Commission can review this again. 17 18 Councilmember Trude stated the Council had given direction to staffto move forward with 19 including amenities for children rather than for cars due to the current shortage of funds. 20 21 Councilmember Knight asked ifthe City could look into a shared maintenance and 22 improvements agreement with neighboring communities for the Hawk Ridge Park because due to 23 its location residents from the surrounding communities use this park more. 24 25 Mr. Dickinson stated Andover residents had requested this park and it is used by Andover 26 residents as well as residents from the surrounding communities. Andover residents use parks in 27 other communities as well. 28 29 Mr. Butler stated the Park Commission is open to collaborating with neighboring cities and could 30 look into this. The Park Commission would be looking at doing smaller improvements to many 31 of the parks to attract more users. 32 33 Councilmember Bukkila asked if the Park Commission was reviewing surrounding parks when 34 looking at amenities to ensure the area was not saturated with similar amenities. 35 36 Councilmember Trude suggested the Park Commission also look at the surrounding community 37 demographics to determine what amenities should be added because some of the smaller parks 38 have more kids at them. 39 40 Mr. Butler stated the Park Commission had reviewed all of the City's parks and what amenities 41 were at each location. They also reviewed the area and what busy roads were near each location 42 in order to determine what amenities should be considered. 43 Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes - August 23, 2011 Page 3 I Councilmember Trude suggested the Park Commission talk to the kids and residents near each 2 park to see what amenities they would like to see in their parks. She stated she would like to see 3 more skate park features added to some of the parks and having one ofthe City's hockey rinks 4 paved. 5 6 Mr. Butler explained the Comprehensive Plan is what the City might expect the parks to look 7 like in 20-30 years. When it comes time to redevelop or replace equipment the Park Commission 8 will contact the neighborhood and get their input on what amenities they would like to see 9 included. 10 11 Councilmember Jacobson stated the parks do not include enough activities for older people such 12 as shuffleboard, and horse shoe pits. Over the next 20 to 30 years the population in Andover will 13 be older and they may enjoy more appropriate amenities. The Comprehensive Plan includes 14 selling the Cedar Crest Estate Park. He asked if this would be possible. 15 16 Mr. Dickinson explained this particular park was not dedicated park space and ifthe City was not 17 able to use it then it could be sold. 18 19 Mr. Van Vark clarified the Park Commission was not trying to predict what the demographics 20 would be in Andover in the future but rather determine what amenities the residents would like to 21 see in the parks in the future. Having amenities in the parks will continue to attract young 22 families. 23 24 Councilmember Bukkila stated the City needed to have a five-year plan for the parks and work 25 with this because the amount of park dedication funds available is not the same as it has been. 26 27 Councilmember Trude suggested the Park Commission consider putting the shelters with mini 28 grills in higher density areas because people in apartments and townhomes may not have the 29 ability to grill at their homes. She also suggested the Park Commission look at providing some 30 sort of shade for the dugouts in the parks because they get very warm during games. 31 32 Mr. Butler stated the Park Commission would look at shade and other amenities that could be 33 added to those parks that are used for games. 34 35 Mayor Gamache asked if the costs for the 10 parking lots that are proposed to be paved included 36 curb and gutter. 37 38 Mr. Haas stated some ofthe lots include curb and gutter and this is noted in the plan. 39 40 Mr. Butler stated the Park Commission would review the parks and determine which parks bring 41 in more people and could be considered showcase parks for the City and have these parking lots 42 paved. The Comprehensive Plan is a reflection of what the City would like to do in the parks and 43 this will be used to determine the park dedication fees. Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes - August 23, 2011 Page 4 I 2 Mr. Haas stated the parking lots that need to be improved would be brought back to the Council 3 for approval. 4 5 Councilmember Trude stated on page 2, the Neighborhood parks should be defined as: serving 6 neighborhoods usually within one mile 7 8 Mr. Butler stated this could be changed. 9 10 11 JOINT MEETING WITH PARK COMMISSION - DISCUSS PROPOSED 2012-2016 PARK 12 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN 13 14 Mr. Butler stated it is easier for other departments in the City to stick to a 5-year Capital 15 Improvement Plan, but based on changes it needs to be more flexible for parks. The Park 16 Commission works with Staff and residents to determine what the needs and interests are in the 17 parks. There are significant changes in funds available in recent years and the Park Commission 18 looked at what it could accomplish over the next 5-years with the funding available and Council 19 priorities. He explained the current 5-year Capital Improvement Plan includes improvements in 20 2012 and then less in 2013 and 2014, and a significant improvement or redevelopment in 2015. 21 The Park Commission for 2012 would recommend paving the west parking lot at Sunshine Park 22 and a small irrigation project at the Woodland Estates Park. 23 24 Councilmember Jacobson expressed concerns about the safety at Sunshine Park because there are 25 no parking lot lights. The parking lot gets dark and this needs to be moved up the list. 26 27 Councilmember Bukkila stated the City cannot irrigate all the parks in the City. The Park 28 Commission should look at what small improvements can be made to the parks rather than 29 paving parking lots and irrigating parks. 30 31 Mayor Gamache stated the parking lot should be paved at Sunshine Park because it is the City's 32 top park and this area should look as good as the rest of the park. Staff should also look at 33 adding lights to this park to address the safety concerns. 34 35 Mr. Butler stated the residents of Hickory Meadows Park have requested a park in their 36 neighborhood and the Park Commission is allocating $25,000 for equipment for this park but the 37 residents and/or developer will need to raise additional funds. The Park Commission is 38 recommending any savings from other projects be applied towards this project. 39 40 Mayor Gamache stated the 5- Y ear CIP presented was well done. The City cannot irrigate every 41 park in the City. The City could look at partnering with residents bordering smaller parks to 42 provide irrigation for these parks. He expressed concerns with the proposed Hickory Meadows 43 Park project because this area is not fully developed and it could be several years before it is. Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes - August 23, 2011 Page 5 1 Ms. Corrine Fulcrum from the Hickory Meadows development, stated the homes in this area are 2 all occupied and those people that are interested in the area expressed concerns that it feels like it 3 is "in the middle of nowhere" because there are no trails or parks. A park would help in the 4 ability to sell more homes. 5 6 Councilmember Jacobson suggested irrigation ofthis park be at the end of the project and not 7 included as part of the project. 8 9 Councilmember Trude stated the Shadowbrook Park had been a self-build park and the 10 neighborhood had done the work. She asked if this was a possibility with this particular park. 11 12 Mr. Butler stated this was a possibility and could be discussed with the residents of this 13 neighborhood. 14 15 Councilmember Trude thanked the Park Commission for their hard work in putting together the 16 5- Year CIP and the Comprehensive Plan. She stated the City should look at getting better maps 17 of the parks done for residents to either download or purchase at City Hall because people do get 18 lost trying to get to some of the parks. 19 20 Mr. Butler stated this was something that had been talked about. The City's website currently 21 has a link to a map of the Andover Parks. He suggested a list of amenities be included on the 22 City's website. 23 24 25 JOINT MEETING WITH PARK COMMISSION - UPDATE REGARDING INTEREST OF 26 ARTIFICIAL TURF AT ONE OF THE PARKSIFACIUTIES 27 28 Mr. Butler stated the Park Commission met with the local sports associations and school districts 29 to discuss interest in artificial turf, how it would be used, and paying for this as well as the 30 possibility of a dome facility. At this time the associations and school districts will be meeting 31 with their boards to discuss their interest. If there is interest the City will determine the next 32 steps and bring this back to the Council for review. 33 34 Councilmember Knight suggested the Park Commission determine what the costs are for 35 maintaining the current fields versus artificial turffields including maintenance, repair, and 36 average life expectancy for artificial turf. 37 38 Mr. Berkowitz stated the estimated cost to install artificial turf would be around $500,000. 39 40 Mr. Haas stated the expected life expectancy for artificial turfwould be about 8 years but there 41 are more expensive options available that would provide a longer life expectancy. He also stated 42 there are different types of turf for different activities. 43 'i Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes-August 23,2011 Page 6 1 Mr. Butler explained it would be important for the City to review the financial feasibility of this 2 project to ensure the City is not in the same situation as other communities and there is not 3 enough cash flow generated from the project to pay for itself. 4 5 Councilmember Jacobson expressed concerns with building a dome because this type of structure 6 would require additional items to operate it such as heating, the costs for inflating or deflating, 7 and lighting the structure. Even if an organization says they will use it they may decide not to 8 and the City will need to find a way to pay for this structure. He recommended the Park 9 Commission look at long-term leases for organizations. 10 11 Mr. Dickinson stated the City needs to proceed with caution in regard to long term leases. Most 12 organizations are non-profit and when they do not have money they will not be able to pay 13 regardless of a lease or contract. 14 15 Councilmember Trude stated the Park Commission had brought together a large group of 16 potential users and this may be an opportunity for the City to partner with some of these 17 associations and school districts. She stated a potential location could be across from Sunshine 18 Park on Crosstown Boulevard and Nightingale Street, the City is purchasing this property. 19 20 Mr. Butler stated at this time the Council could discuss items such as location but the Park 21 Commission would like to wait to find out what the associations and school districts are 22 interested in before moving forward. 23 24 Councilmember Knight suggested selling the name for the dome similar to what has been done 25 for other stadiums built recently. This could generate funds for this type offacility. 26 27 Mr. Butler stated the Park Commission would wait for feedback from the associations and school 28 districts and then move forward with a feasibility report. 29 30 31 JOINT MEETING WITH PARKCOMMISSION-DISCUSS USE OF FREE SKATING RINKS 32 33 Mr. Berkowitz stated there are a couple of free skate parks in the City that have limited use. The 34 Public Works Parks Maintenance Department is recommending these rinks be closed so that staff 35 can focus on the remaining rinks and provide the community with better product. When it snows 36 all rinks need to have the snow removed otherwise the surface will not be suitable for skating. 37 38 Mr. Starr stated if the City had 11 rinks then staff would be able to provide better service to the 39 rinks and ensure the surfaces are taken care of. 40 41 Councilmember Trude suggested Terrace rink and Shady Knoll rink be closed. They showed 42 very low usage last season. She stated the rinks with warming houses showed the most usage in 43 the City. Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes - August 23, 2011 Page 7 1 Mr. Berkowitz stated the Terrace rink has showed little use over the last three seasons. 2 3 Motion by Councilmember Jacobson, Seconded by Councilmember Knight, to authorize staff to 4 eliminate the rinks at Shady Knoll Park, Pleasant Oaks Park, and Terrace Park from the upcoming 5 skating season. The motion carried 4 ayes, 1 nay (Bukkila). 6 7 The Council recessed at 7:38 p.m. 8 9 The Council reconvened at 7:47 p.m. 10 11 12 LOWER RUM RIVER WMO UPDATE 13 14 Mr. Berkowitz presented the Council with the draft of the Wetland Protection Standards that are 15 being recommended by the Technical Advisory Committee. The proposed standards are not 16 much different than what is currently required by the City of Andover as far as temporary 17 wetland buffer strips. He clarified that the difference of 16.5-foot buffer would be blanketed 18 with a permanent drainage and utility easement, which in most cases is the current standard 19 because this buffer is within the 100-year flood elevation. The 16.5-foot buffer is consistent with 20 the City's current Ordinances. 21 22 Councilmember Bukkila asked what the direct impact would be to residents. 23 24 Mr. Berkowitz stated the major difference the residents would see would be in regard to 25 fertilization, but the drainage and utility easement would be the same. He explained there would 26 be no restrictions for a resident to modify or change the natural plantings after construction has 27 been completed. 28 29 Councilmember Trude clarified that a new construction plat would only be approved now if it 30 met these requirements and had a greater distance between homes to accommodate the wetland 31 restrictions being proposed. She continued stating that the standards allow for an extension on 32 page 3 and this is good. 33 34 Councilmember Knight asked where the delineation points started. 35 36 Mr. Berkowitz stated the delineation point is based on hydrology, soils and vegetation. This 37 information is sent to a technical panel and they value the delineation to be sure it meets the 38 criteria. 39 40 Councilmember Trude stated it would be helpful if the City had information available about the 41 delineation and have the wetlands identified before residents planned any expansions. 42 43 Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes-August 23,2011 Page 8 1 DISCUSS SPECIAL BOW HUNTING REQUEST 2 3 Mr. Carlberg explained the residents of Smith's Rolling Oaks are requesting a map amendment 4 to allow them to bow hunt for the regular deer hunting season. 5 6 Councilmember Jacobson asked what other things would be allowed by including this 7 neighborhood in the non-restricted hunting area. 8 9 Mr. Carlberg explained only bow hunting would be allowed because of the lot sizes. In order to 10 discharge a firearm the lots would need to be larger. 11 12 Councilmember Trude stated when the City changed the hunting ordinances the map was also 13 changed. If this area were removed from the restricted area then the ordinances and map would 14 need to be changed again. She clarified this request was different than the special hunt request 15 received from this neighborhood last year because they would like to have the map changed and 16 have the ability to bow hunt every year without having to make a special request. 17 18 Mr. Carlberg stated the only change would be this area would be allowed to bow hunt for the 19 season. The lot sizes in this neighborhood are not large enough to allow for hunting with a 20 firearm even if they are in a zone that allows hunting with firearms. He asked if it would be 21 appropriate for the Council to consider this request and hold a public hearing to get resident 22 input. 23 24 Councilmember Bukkila clarified the residents in this neighborhood really wanted to be able to 25 expand what had been approved last year with the special hunt. 26 27 Councilmember Jacobson asked why the City would change the map rather than just approve a 28 special hunt similar to last year but expand it to a month rather than two weekends. 29 30 Mayor Gamache stated the neighborhood did not want to come to the City every year for 31 approval. 32 33 Ray Sowada, 14921 Butternut Street, stated the neighborhood would like to be included in the 34 regular season so they could hunt in their back yards when they wanted during the full season. 35 The City had approved two weekends last year and one of those weekends the weather had 36 prevented any hunting. There were two deer taken last year by residents of the neighborhood and 37 there had not been any problems. 38 39 Councilmember Knight suggested the Council consider approving a special hunt similar to last 40 year but increase the amount of time they could hunt. This way the City would not have to 41 change their ordinance or maps. 42 43 Arlene Elin, 137 Andover Boulevard presented the Council with a packet of information, which Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes - August 23, 2011 Page 9 1 included information and statistics on the number of deer in the area and what it would take to 2 kill a deer so that it did not have to be tracked outside of a 2.5-acre area. She stated the City 3 should do a study to determine if a special hunt would be required and this has not been done and 4 there has been no deer hunt recommended for the Bunker Hills park. She also provided a copy of 5 a police report that was filed against one of the hunters from last years special hunt. She stated 6 there were other hunters that own more land that would also like to hunt and they are not being 7 considered for the special hunt. She stated she is opposed to this request and would like to know 8 why this is being considered at a workshop and not at a regular City Council meeting. She stated 9 it is not safe for people to hunt on this small of a property and this is in a residential area. She 10 also explained she had been threatened at a previous City Council meeting where this was 11 discussed. 12 13 Mayor Gamache stated the Council was discussing this matter during a workshop to determine if 14 it should be brought forward to a Council meeting for consideration. 15 16 Mr. Carlberg stated the special hunt from last year did specify the hunter had to be the property 17 owner. 18 19 Councilmember Trude stated there were other property owners in the City along South Coon 20 Creek Drive that would like to be able to bow hunt on their property and they should also be 21 considered. 22 23 Mayor Gamache stated the group that had requested the special hunt last year had presented a 24 petition and this is allowed according to the City's ordinance. At this time they are requesting a 25 change to the City's zone map and Ordinance to allow them to be included in the regular hunting 26 season every year without coming to the City for special permission. The Council has three 27 choices at this time: Change the map and include this neighborhood in the restricted area, 28 consider allowing a special hunt for this neighborhood with a petition as allowed by the City's 29 ordinance, or do nothing at this time. 30 31 Councilmember Jacobson suggested the Council not change the map at this time and send a letter 32 to residents in the area that the Smith's Rolling Oaks neighborhood is interested in having a 33 special hunt season and hold a public hearing. 34 35 Councilmember Trude pointed out there had been a police report filed last year. 36 37 Mayor Gamache asked if the Council had any interest in moving forward with changing the map 38 to include Smith's Rolling Oaks into the non-restricted area. 39 40 Councilmember Trude stated the petition last year had sited a need for the special hunt due to 41 overpopulation and now the residents of this area are requesting the change because they want to 42 hunt from their backyard. 43 Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes - August 23, 2011 Page 10 1 Arlene Elin asked ifher land had to be posted in order to keep people off her land. She also 2 requested the packet of information she provided to the Council become part of the records. 3 4 Mayor Gamache stated a hunter had to have permission from a property owner in order to track a 5 deer. The land does not have to be posted. 6 7 Councilmember Trude expressed concerns about the safety of children in the Smith's Rolling 8 Oaks area if these residents were allowed to hunt for the full season. There are two daycares in 9 this area to consider as well. 10 11 Mayor Gamache stated he would be in favor of not allowing the request of including this 12 neighborhood in the restricted area for hunting and have them follow the City's ordinance and 13 bring a petition forward with a request for a special hunt. 14 15 Councilmember Trude stated the special hunt approved last year was a onetime situation. There 16 is nothing in the minutes that state this would be a test and if there were no problems they would 17 be allowed to hunt every year. She also expressed concerns that those people opposed to 18 allowing hunting on smaller lots were intimidated. 19 20 Mayor Gamache stated the request at this time was to include Smith's Rolling Oaks into the 21 restricted area to ~low bow hunting for the entire season every year and at this time there is not 22 support from the Council to move forward with this request. He suggested if there were residents 23 interested in hunting in restricted areas then they should bring a petition to the City for 24 consideration. 25 26 Mr. Chris Wallace, 225 Andover Boulevard, Andover, stated the City needs to stop wavering on 27 this subject and either allow hunting on smaller lots or not. He also asked why the line was 28 drawn at Andover Boulevard for the boundary between the restricted hunting and prohibited 29 hunting areas. 30 31 Mayor Gamache stated the City's ordinance provides for those interested in hunting to provide a 32 petition to the City Council for consideration and this applies to all residents of Andover. Last 33 year the residents of Smith's Rolling Oaks had brought a petition to the City for consideration. 34 At this time the Council does not want to include this neighborhood in the restricted area and 35 change the maps. If there are residents interested in hunting then they would need to bring a 36 petition to the City Council for consideration. There is no guarantee that the requests would be 37 approved. 38 39 Don Wilson, 14920 University A venue asked how the Council could not approve a request for a 40 special hunt for the Smith's RollingOaks residents when they had approved it last year and 41 stated it would be a test for future approvals. 42 43 Councilmember Trude stated the motion that was approved did not state the special hunt was a Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes - August 23, 2011 Page 11 1 test and it did not guarantee future approvals. 2 3 It was the consensus of the City Council to not change the City's maps to include Smith's 4 Rolling Oaks in the restricted area for hunting purposes and if residents are interested in 5 requesting a special hunting permit they would need to file a petition with the City. These 6 requests would be decided at a regular City Council meeting and would include a public hearing. 7 8 9 SOUTH COOK CREEK UPDATE 10 II Mr. Berkowitz outlined the South Cook Creek Drive NW project including an on street trail on 12 the south side of the street, the construction of a trunk water main, tree removal, and intersection 13 improvements. He explained the on street trail would be a 5-foot wide trail and the drive lanes 14 would be narrowed to 12-feet. Ifthe trail is on the south side there would be less trees impacted 15 and with the trail being on street it would be plowed when the streets are plowed. It would be 16 marked by a white line and bicycle symbols. 17 18 Councilmember Jacobson stated there should be some communication with the residents to 19 determine what they would like to have done and provide the pluses and minuses. He asked if 20 the water main would need to be done and how the City would be paying for and assessing the 21 water main. 22 23 Mr. Berkowitz stated the water main would provide redundant service but it would improve the 24 City's system as a whole with the increased pressure. 25 26 Councilmember Trude stated there were 6,000 users for this water main and it would cost 27 $800,000. 28 29 Mr. Dickinson stated the water fund should not be responsible for covering 100% ofthe costs. 30 This improvement will benefit not only those residents nearby but also the entire City. He 31 recommended the City look at more than one source of funding for this project including 32 potentially assessing the residents. 33 34 Councilmember Knight asked if there was a demand for water or water support in the City that 35 would warrant this project. 36 37 Mr. Winkel stated there was a demand in the City and also the increased pressure would be safer 38 for those areas of the City that experience decreased water pressure. 39 40 Councilmember Jacobson asked how Mr. Dickinson would recommend splitting the costs. 41 42 Mr. Dickinson stated the improvements would not impact the City until 2013, but would look at 43 revenues outside of the utility to pay for close to 50% of the project costs, this would include Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes-August 23,2011 Page 12 1 general tax levy, other utilities and possibly assessments. 2 3 Councilmember Bukkila stated she liked the idea of the on street trail for maintenance purposes. 4 5 Councilmember Knight suggested increasing the signage along this section of the road as well to 6 increase safety. 7 8 Mr. Berkowitz stated the existing bridge over the creek could be used with this trail design. He 9 further explained the sanitary sewer improvements scheduled for this project and how they would 10 impact the surrounding properties. Residents would have the ability to pay for a water stub off 11 the main. They could then hook up to in the future if they wished. This would be at their cost. 12 The pipe can be run through the wetlands as long as they are restored. 13 14 Councilmember Trude stated it would be a good idea for the City to make these projects for 15 future development of this area. She stated it had been beneficial for Blaine. 16 17 Mr. Carlberg stated it would be beneficial to the City to make the watermain improvements while 18 they are doing the roadwork so that the road would not have to be dug up in the future. 19 20 Mr. Berkowitz suggested assessing this project similar to the project that was completed on 157th 21 Avenue. He would review the numbers and let the Council know what this could be. The 157th 22 Avenue project had been assessed at $3,000 for larger rural style lots and $1,500 for the smaller 23 lots. 24 25 26 2011 BUDGET IMPLEMENTATION PROGRESS & JULY 2011 INVESTMENT REPORT 27 28 Mr. Dickinson provided an update of the 2011 budget and the July investment report. He stated 29 at this time the City is on target to meet its 2011 budget goals. He stated the Certificates of 30 Deposit are being watched closely and the FDIC bank watch list is also being watched to ensure 31 the City is working with banks that are not in poor standing. He stated the City would be 32 entering into negotiations with some banks and developers because the City is considering not 33 accepting their letters of credit. 34 35 Councilmember Trude asked if the City has been paid for the streets, sewer, and water for the 36 Hickory Meadows project. Mr. Dickinson stated the City has been paid. 37 38 39 DISCUSS 2012-2016 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN 40 41 Mr. Dickinson reviewed the 2012-2016 Capital Improvement Plan and outlined the major 42 changes in this plan. 43 Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes - August 23, 2011 Page 13 1 CDBG FUNDING UPDATE 2 3 Mr. Dickinson provided an update on the CDBG fund. He stated there is $53,285.75 remaining 4 of the 2010 grant and $100,000 ofthe 2011 grant. He stated the City could choose to use these 5 funds on a project to connect a small neighborhood to water along 141 st Lane. There is a funding 6 gap of $140, 114.25 Anoka County may recapture funds from other projects in the county and 7 some of these funds could be reallocated to Andover to assist in this project. 8 9 Councilmember Jacobson stated it was possible the project was completed and the residents 10 decided not to pay the additional cost of hooking up to the system. He asked if this would 11 increase water quality. 12 13 Mr. Berkowitz stated water quality would be improved on a small scale. Mr. Dickinson 14 concurred that residents may not hook up to water. 15 16 Councilmember Trude asked if it would be possible for the City to receive additional grants to 17 lessen the gap in the cost. 18 19 Mr. Dickinson stated he did not see having more grant money allocated for this project but would 20 pursue other grant money. This area is in a nF development district so TIF funds could be used. 21 He stated this was an area the City may be interested in redeveloping in the future. 22 23 The consensus ofthe Council was to pursue the project, using nF funds as gap funding if 24 necessary. 25 26 2012 BUDGET DEVELOPMENT DISCUSSIONIUPDATE 27 28 Mr. Dickinson explained the items included in the 2012 Budget to date. He stated staffis 29 looking for City Council direction as the preparation proceeds. He explained the Market Value 30 Homestead credit would be replaced with the Market Value Exclusion program. At this time the 31 City does not include these funds in the budget. There were no new staffing requests for the 2012 32 budget. Staff is still working on the health care plan and identifying alternate vendors. He 33 explained the City would be able to bring in an additional investigator under the current budget 34 amounts if this position were filled in March and the Community Service Officer hours were 35 reduced to 6-hours per day. 36 37 Councilmember Trude stated she would like to have an investigator who has finished school and 38 training. She asked what the actual increase in law enforcement would be. 39 40 Mr. Dickinson stated the increase in law enforcement would be approximately $78,000 and this 41 will cover all oftheir costs. This does reduce the CSO coverage by 6 hours per day. 42 43 Mr. Dickinson reviewed the YMCA/Youth First proposal. He stated primarily the YMCA would Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes - August 23, 2011 Page 14 1 use the money requested. 2 3 Councilmember Bukkila stated the program being proposed is the same as the program the City 4 just cancelled. She had something different in mind for this group of youth. She was looking for 5 something more like an evening/weekend drop off type of program. 6 7 Councilmember Trude asked where these funds would be used. 8 9 Mr. Dickinson stated this program was focused on middle school and high school aged kids. 10 Youth First would be operating out of the middle school and they would be offering different 11 programs than those offered by the YMCA. 12 13 Councilmember Trude asked if these programs would be providing an after school snack and 14 assistance with homework only. She also asked why the City would want to fund both programs. 15 16 Mr. Dickinson suggested the YMCA and Youth First come to the Council and present their 17 requests and answer the Council's questions. 18 19 Councilmember Knight suggested this also be presented to the Community Center Advisory 20 Commission. 21 22 Councilmember Trude asked staff to look at other programs and see what might be available for 23 this age group. She stated at this time, based on the information they have, it appears that 24 Andover is subsidizing Anoka and Ramsey's programs that are offered by Youth First. 25 26 Mayor Gamache stated the YMCA and Youth First could make a presentation to the Council at 27 their Workshop in September. 28 29 Councilmember Trude asked if the City had increased its contribution to Alexander House from 30 last year. She stated this organization provides an important service to the community and she 31 would like to see this contribution increased. Mr. Dickinson indicated the contribution has been 32 $10,000 for the past few years. 33 34 35 PREVIEW PROPOSED 2012 PRELIMINARY TAX LEVY CERTIFICATION 36 37 Mr. Dickinson reviewed the proposed 2012 tax levy and stated it was being proposed as a zero 38 percent gross levy increase over last year. He explained as the tax capacity value in communities 39 goes down their tax rate will go up. 40 41 Councilmember Trude thought this would be acceptable to the residents and the City could work 42 with this as well. 43 Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes - August 23, 2011 Page 16 1 CITY OF ANOKA 2 3 Mr. Dickinson stated in a resolution the City of Anoka has asked the City of Andover to consider 4 boundary changes. This idea had been suggested to them previously. Anoka would like Andover 5 to downgrade the zoning on Rosella's property. 6 7 HIGHGRASS & DEBRIS/ANDOVER BOULEVARD 8 9 Councilmember Jacobson stated close to the grass on Andover Boulevard, near the railroad 10 tracks, needs to be cut. There is also construction and railroad debris that needs to be removed 11 from this area. 12 13 Mr. Dickinson stated staff would look into this. 14 15 16 ADJOURNMENT 17 18 Motion by Councilmember Jacobson, Seconded by Councilmember Knight, to adjourn.

Motion carried unanimously. 32 33 34 DISCUSS WOODLAND ESTATES DRAINAGE RESOLUTION PROPOSAVll-32 35 36 City Engineer Berkowitz explained the funding proposal submitted by the residents of Woodland 37 Estates. This project is proposed by the residents to construct an overflow pipe to the Andover High 38 School pond. If the Council agrees, the residents could review the quotes to determine if they would 39 like to proceed. This will speed up the project by a couple of weeks because the Council would not 40 have to approve it. The Council is requested to direct staff on how to proceed with the Woodland 41 Estates drainage-funding proposal and review ofthe project quotes. 42 43 Councilmember Trude asked if the City would set up for the payment of the project after the Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 6, 2011 Page 3 1 quotes were received. She clarified the City would be able to authorize a repayment process for 2 residents in this neighborhood with an acceptable interest rate and a term of three years. This 3 would help those residents that may not be able to cover the cost of this project at this time. She 4 further explained the residents are in favor of this project and she has not received any negative 5 comments in regard to it. 6 7 City Administrator Dickinson stated the Council could approve the repayment process. This 8 would be similar to an invoice process and would not be assessed to the property unless 9 payments were not made. The residents will be asked to sign a promissory note. 10 11 Motion by Councilmember Trude, Seconded by Councilmember Knight, to approve the 12 Woodland Estates Drainage Resolution Proposal and direct staff to solicit quotes and obtain 13 resident approval of quotes and to receive either prepayment or repayment agreements for all 14 residents in the project. The motion carried unanimously. 15 16 Councilmember Trude asked how long it would be before the quotes would be received and the 17 project could start. 18 19 City Engineer Berkowitz stated quotes could be received and reviewed with the residents in the 20 next couple of weeks and construction could potentially start the end of September. 21 22 23 CONSIDER DECLARING DANGEROUS DOG/lB15 ANDOVER BOULEVARD 24 25 City Administrator Dickinson stated staff is requesting the City to approve a resolution to declare a 26 dog owned by Ms. Jamie Hoffer as a dangerous dog pursuant to City Code Title 5, Chapter 1, 27 Section 5-1A-ll. He reviewed the information with the Council and provided a chronological 28 outline ofthe events that have lead staff to make this request. He stated the dog is currently labeled 29 potentially dangerous. If it is found to be dangerous it will have to be muzzled while out for walks 30 and kept under control at all times. Ifthere is an additional incident the City may pursue abatement 31 options. 32 33 Ms. Jamie Hoffer, 1815 Andover Boulevard, provided information to the Council in regard to an 34 incident, which led the dogs to biting another person. She explained the dogs were under stress 35 and were protecting the person they were with. She also explained when the dogs were reported 36 "running at large" the dogs had been locked in her home. There is a home in this neighborhood 37 that fosters Pitbulls and the dogs may have come from there. She explained one of her dogs, 38 Bella, has been euthanized because she has demonstrated aggression. Bella had caused problems 39 with her other dog, Cesear, and would get him excited. Cesear has never attacked anyone and 40 does not know any attack commands. She provided copies of letters signed by neighbors that 41 stated Cesear was not a threat 42 43 Mayor Gamache asked where the dogs were when the June 16,2011 "running at large" incident Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 6, 2011 Page 4 I occurred. 2 3 Ms. Hoffer stated the dogs had been locked in her home until she returned from the store at the 4 same time the police officer had come to talk to her about the dogs. She explained the home 5 down the street also has Pitbulls and they are different colors than hers. Her dogs are chocolate 6 and black in color and the report was for 2 black Pitbulls. 7 8 Councilmember Bukkila asked if the incident that resulted in a person being bitten had occurred 9 at her residence or in another location. 10 11 Ms. Hoffer explained the incident had occurred at another location but it involved her car. There 12 were three men that were attacking the car and the dogs were defending it and the person driving 13 the car. 14 15 Councilmember Knight asked if the dogs would attack on command as the report stated. 16 17 Ms. Hoffer explained the dogs do not know attack commands and do not respond to them. 18 Cesear is the dog being discussed at this time and he has always been a gentle companion dog. 19 Bella would get him worked up and this is one of the reasons she was euthanized. She has a one 20 year old and thirteen year old child in the home and Cesear is good with them. 21 22 Councilmember Trude asked if the person who had the car and dogs when the incident happened 23 lived in the home and would be considered an owner by the dogs. 24 25 Ms. Hoffer explained the person who had the dogs does not live with her permanently and would 26 not be an owner ofthe dogs. She eXplained Cesear sleeps with her and her one-year old child 27 and does not show aggression around the family. 28 29 Councilmember Trude asked if Cesear was leashed or kept in a fence when he was outside. 30 31 Ms. Hoffer stated she has a line that she has Cesear tied to outside that runs from the door to a 32 tree. She is with the dog when he is outside. There is a sidewalk in front of her house and there 33 are school-aged kids that walk on it and Cesear has not bothered or chased them in the past. 34 35 Councilmember Knight asked how big the dogs are. 36 37 Ms. Hoffer stated Cesear is 70 pounds and Bella was 50 pounds. 38 39 Mr. Dickinson stated when the dogs were under quarantine Animal Control reported Bella had 40 shown aggression and after five days Cesear was not aggressive. 41 42 Councilmember Bukkila stated the situation that resulted in someone getting bit was out of 43 control and she asked where the personal responsibility was for the person who had the dogs. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 6, 2011 Page 5 1 She asked if this person would continue to have access to Caesar in the future. 2 3 Ms. Hoffer stated she would not allow anyone to take her dog again. 4 5 Mayor Gamache stated the report was unclear which dog had bitten and Cesear is considered a 6 potentially dangerous dog at this time. If the Council does not pursue Cesear as a dangerous dog 7 at this time it is important for Ms. Hoffer to understand how important it is she maintain control 8 of Cesear. 9 10 Ms. Susan Bender stated Cesear is a good dog and she is personally frightened of Pitbulls. 11 Cesear would not hurt anyone based on her experience with the dog. 12 13 Councilmember Trude asked if the family could ensure Ms. Hoffer does not allow other 14 individuals to take her dog and expose them to potentially dangerous situations. 15 16 Ms. Bender stated this would need to be worked out but she does not believe the dog is 17 dangerous. 18 19 Mayor Gamache stated the person who had the dogs was being attacked and this may have had 20 an impact on the dogs attacking. The dog is already considered potentially dangerous and this is 21 acceptable label based on what has been presented and the actions already taken by the owner to 22 take responsibility for the actions of the dogs is positive. 23 24 Councilmember Trude pointed out Animal Control had Cesear for 14-days and had reported he 25 was not aggressive. 26 27 Councilmember Bukkila stated she would support the consensus of the Council and not have 28 Cesear labeled a dangerous dog at this time. She pointed out Ms. Hoffer has taken the proper 29 steps in the right direction to ensure this does not happen in the future. She stated if there is 30 another incident involving Cesear the Council will not hesitate to have him declared a dangerous 31 dog or pursue abatement. 32 33 Mayor Gamache clarified the consensus of the Council was to not pursue declaring Cesear a 34 dangerous dog at this time. 35 36 37 REVIEW/ADOPT 2012 PRELIMINARY TAX LEVY 38 39 City Administrator Dickinson stated the 2012 Preliminary Levy certification is the outcome of 40 numerous budget workshops held with the Council. He outlined the preliminary levy and the 41 corresponding operating budget. 42 43 Councilmember Trude stated the public would like to know what is happening with the City's Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 6, 2011 Page 6 1 salaries and what a 0% levy increase means to them. Mr. Dickinson indicated a cost ofliving 2 increase is currently not in the budget. 3 4 City Administrator Dickinson stated the City would not be collecting any additional taxes than 5 what was collected last year. What a property owner pays is dependent on the value oftheir 6 property. If a homes value went down by 4.5% or more then there may not be an increase in 7 what they pay over last year. He stated if residents have questions they are encouraged to call 8 City Hall. 9 10 Councilmember Knight stated Andover operates as one of the leanest operations in the metro 11 area. 12 13 Motion by Councilmember Knight, Seconded by Councilmember Trude to Approve the 14 Resolution adopting a total preliminary levy of $1 0,856,299 to be submitted to Anoka County 15 Property Records and Taxation Division by September 15, 2011. The motion carried 16 unanimously. (See Resolution R070-11) 17 18 19 REVIEW/ADOPT 2012 DEBT SERVICE LEVY CHANGES 20 21 City Administrator Dickinson explained Anoka County Property Records and Taxation Division 22 requires a City Council resolution changing bonded indebtedness levies for 2012 that would have 23 been certified to Anoka County as part of prior years bond sales. 24 25 Motion by Councilmember Bukkila, Seconded by Councilmember Knight to Approve a 26 Resolution updating the certified bonded indebtedness for 2012. The motion carried 27 unanimously. (See Resolution R071-11) 28 29 30 DISCUSS ANOKA COUNTY PROPERTY ADJACENT TO ROUND LAKE BOAT 31 LANDING 32 33 Public Works Director Berkowitz explained currently both Anoka County and the City own and 34 maintain property at Round Lake including the frontage road and boat landing. Anoka County 35 has suggested the City take ownership of the County parcels. The primary advantages of the City 36 taking ownership would be control of the boat landing, parking, and snowmobiles, and the City 37 would have control on future development of the 3 parcels. 38 39 Mayor Gamache asked ifthere were any budget issues that would arise with pursuing this. 40 41 Public Works Director Berkowitz stated the City would pursue these parcels as a no cost transfer. 42 The only costs would be the ongoing maintenance of the property, but the City is already in this 43 location for maintenance on the boat landing and doing the frontage road would not be much Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 6, 2011 Page 7 1 more. 2 3 Councilmember Knight asked if these parcels were considered wetlands. 4 5 Public Works Director Berkowitz stated the water is high this year and it is unclear if these areas 6 would always have water. 7 8 Motion by Councilmember Trude, Seconded by Councilmember Knight to direct staff to proceed 9 with working with Anoka County to obtain the three parcels along Round Lake to combine these 10 with the City's parcel. 11 12 Councilmember Knight asked if there would be a down side to obtaining this property. 13 14 City Engineer Berkowitz stated the only thing that would impact the City is the maintenance of 15 the property, which would not be significant because the City already maintains the boat landing. 16 17 Councilmember Bukkila asked if there were any future uses identified for this property other than 18 a place to park boat trailers. 19 20 City Engineer Berkowitz stated at this time there were no future uses identified. 21 22 Councilmember Trude stated this is part of the collaboration efforts the City should be pursuing. 23 24 The motion was called to a vote. 25 26 The motion carried unanimously. 27 28 29 SET HEARING DATES FOR THE 2012 BUDGET & LEVY DISCUSSION & PUBLIC 30 COMMENT 31 32 City Administrator Dickinson stated the Truth in Taxation law, M.S. 275.065, requires cities to 33 schedule a meeting at which the budget and levy will be discussed and public input will be 34 allowed prior to the final budget and levy determination. This year, this meeting must be 35 scheduled between November 25 and December 28. He outlined potential schedules for the 36 Council to consider. He clarified he would not be available for the December 6 meeting. 37 38 Motion by Councilmember Knight, Seconded by Councilmember Bukkila to set the hearing 39 dates for the 2012 Budget & Levy Discussion and Public Comment at December 6 with a 40 continuation date of December 20. The motion carried unanimously. 41 42 43 SCHEDULE INTERVIEW DATE(S) FOR CITY COUNCIL VACANCY APPOINTMENT Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 6, 2011 Page 8 I CANDIDATES 2 3 Mr. Dickinson requested the Council to schedule a date or dates to interview City Council 4 Vacancy Appointment Candidates. The deadline for residents to submit an application to be 5 considered for the current City Council vacancy is September 9 at 4:30 p.m. 6 7 Councilmember Bukkila suggested the City schedule the interviews for thirty minutes.

He would estimate a total often 13 applications by the deadline. 14 15 The Council discussed dates they would be available to conduct interviews. 16 17 Councilmember Trude suggested the Council meet on September 12 to review the applications 18 and determine who they would like to bring in for interviews and schedule these interviews for 19 September 19. She also suggested the Council look at another night to ensure they have it set 20 aside in case they need to perform second interviews and do additional review. 21 22 Mayor Gamache stated Monday, September 12 at 7:00 would be acceptable for staff and Council 23 to review the applications. 24 25 Motion by Mayor Gamache, Seconded by Councilmember Bukkila to schedule September 12 at 26 7:00 p.m. for the Council and staff to review applications and September 19 at 6:30 p.m. for 27 interviews. The motion carried unanimously. 28 29 City Administrator Dickinson pointed out if additional time was needed the Council could meet 30 at 6:00 p.m. on September 20. 31 32 Mayor Gamache suggested 6:30 p.m. on September 21 as another time that the Council would be 33 available. 34 35 Motion by Councilmember Trude, Seconded by Councilmember Bukkila to schedule September 36 20 at 6:00 p.m. with a continuation of the meeting after the regular meeting and September 21 at 37 6:30 p.m. for Council interviews and additional discussions if needed.

Berkowitz, Director of Public SUBJECT: Approve Quote/Paving Project for Public Works - Engineering DATE: September 20,2011 INTRODUCTION This item is in regard to awarding the quote for paving a turnaround for the salt storage building and a drive apron for the dump station. DISCUSSION The paving expansion of the salt storage and the addition of a driveway apron to the dump station will provide better operation and a cleaner proce~s for these areas. After evaluating one season of operation of the salt storage there is a need to expand the paved surface to the south. As trucks are loaded in this area salt tends to spill out onto the gravel which then thaws causing soft spots within the gravel and opportunities for the trucks to get stuck. A hard surface will eliminate this issue and allow a hard surface turnaround for loading trucks. The dump station has been in operation for several years. When trucks currently dump half of the truck is on a hard surface. The driveway will allow the entire vehicle to set up on a paved surface and contain more water/material in the dump station. Quotes were received for the paving project and are as follows: Contractor Ouote Amount J&W Asphalt, Inc. $16,560.00 Rum River Contracting Co. $23,000.00 BUDGET IMPACT The salt storage improvement will be funded from the 2011 Streets Department in the General Fund ($12,420) and the dump station improvement will be funded through the 2011 Storm Water Utility and Sanitary Sewer Enterprise Funds ($4,140). ACTION REQUIRED The City Council is requested to approve quotes and award the quote to J&W Asphalt, Inc. in the amount of $16,560.00 for paving at Public Works. Respectfully submitted, ~.~ David D.

DISCUSSION On August 23, 2011 Council work session the Council discussed allowing the Smith's Rolling Oaks area to be included in the Restricted Zone South hunting area. It was the consensus of the City Council to not change the City's maps to include Smith's Rolling Oaks in the restricted area for hunting purposes and if residents were interested in requesting a special hunting permit they would need to file a petition with the City. These requests would be decided at a regular City Council meeting and would include a public hearing. ACTION REOUESTED The Council is asked to discuss the request and provide direction on how to proceed.

'f ~ fWr .xi- Re: Proposal Bow Hunting of deer in Smiths Rolling Oaks This petition is a proposal to allow bow hunting of deer in Smiths Rolling Oaks for partial season as allowed by DNR and the stipulations applied last year. This would include the area covered from 146th Lane (North side only) to 150th Lane (back property line) and from University Avenue Extension to Evergreen St (back property line). The proposal would comply and follow all Department of Natural Resource regulations, including those under hunting method restriction, which apply to baiting of deer and must only shoot from a delevaled stand therefore you would be shooting into the ground if missing the target and can only dress the deer on your personal property. Tracking deer can only be done by getting permission of property owner. Hunting season in this area would be October 1st through November 15th 2011. ,h~Btr3~ (,/2_ Zr-D.25"'yO R~L~ -y 3 y- 973t../ 3 i'~.J', h (IV\..

Documentation attached. . Whitetail deer arrow placement for quick and clean harvest . No hunt recommended for Bunker Hills Park for 2010 and 2011, . Based on aerial views 17 deer observed in 2010 AND 67 in 2011. THEY RECOMMEND47-62 DEER in the park, approximately 20 deer per square mile. . Police Report on December 12, 2010 a hunter was reported hunting within the "special permit hunt" area, and the hunter was NOT the homeowner. o Location of incident is marked on the map of hunting zones in Andover. . Deer can travel 35 miles per hour and travel a long distance before collapsing. . Most animals can travel very fast when wounded. . Bow hunting result in higher wounding losses and increased travel distances. . An arrow travels an average of 184 miles per hour, or 270 feet per second. . Soaring bow hunting wounding rates - as high as 50%. II DEER HUNTING NOTES . WHY DOES THIS MATTER KEEP COMING UP EVERY YEAR? . THE PROHIBITED AREA WAS UNAMIOUSL Y REDEFINED IN THE FIREARMS ORDINANCE LAST YEAR. . SPECIAL HUNTING REQUEST WAS GRANTED TO A FEW RESIDENTS BASED ON THE PREMISE OF OVER POPULATION IN THE AREA. WITH NO SUPPORTING EVIDENCE PROVIDED. TillS WAS FOR "ONE" TIME ONLY. . TillS ISSUE OF RESIDENTIAL DEER HUNTING IS SPLITTING THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE MEETING WAS STOPPED LAST YEAR DUE TO A FIGHT IN THE LOBBY, OVER OPPOSITION TO TillS REQUEST. . THERE ARE THOSE RESIDENTS IN THE AREA WITH LARGER ACERAGE (OVER 2.5 ACRES), THAT WOULD ALSO LIKE TO BE ABLE TO HUNT ON THEIR LAND. . ARE A FEW RETIRED CITY WORKERS BEING GIVEN SPECIAL CONSIDERATION AND THUS BEING PERMITTED TO HUNT? . I DON'T BELIEVE SUBMITTING A PETITION IS A PROPER WAY TO DETERMINE TillS ISSUE. AN ACCURATE WRITTEN VOTE OF THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD INVOLVED SHOULD BE DONE IN THE MAKING OFTHIS DECISION. IT NEEDS TO INCLUDE THE RESIDENTS IN A PRE AGREED UPON RADIUS OF THE AREA BEING REQUESTED TO HUNT. ALONG WITH SUPPORTING EVIDENCE FOR THE COUNCIL TO EVEN CONSIDER SUCH A REQUEST FOR SPECIAL PRIVELAGES AND BEFORE SUCH A REQUEST CAN EVER BE VOTED UPON OR GRANTED. . HOW CAN TillS MATTER BE CLOSED FOR GOOD. NOT TO BE BROUGHT UP AND RE-REQUESTED EACH AND EVERY YEAR? . THERE IS NO WAY TO ENFORCE THESE SPECIAL BOW HUNTING REGULATIONS. I~ , . SAFETY SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE. SAFETY SHOULD NOT BE JEPORDIZED FOR SELFISH REASONS OF ONLY A FEW. THE AREA IN QUESTION IS RESIDENTIAL. THESE FEW INDIVIDUALS DO NOT OWN FARM LAND OR RURAL ACERAGE.WHICH ALLOWS HUNTING. . THERE ARE MANY PLACES WHERE DEER BOW HUNTING IS MADE AVAILABLE FOR HUNTING PURPOSES, INCLUDING ANOKA PARKS. 13 . -'-- ._- ".-. -- _.._n. . .........__.....____. _........._ ............"_._..e_....__.. ,......__..*.. .. -. .---.-.--. -- -- -.-.-. . .'- ....-..........-.-. ,--- ....---.--. ,-, ..- ~~ru~~o ~g3c Cq::lID=s':J .....roQ)::l ~.J: -n ~<'o.~g(l) ~<!S:g. :r'!~ 1I'""W (l) m'" - 0 . -'::l""'t ..... ~ r..;l;l (firt~8"~~ I@'tO~ fir tt ~ QjOlOrr's:. ~Fw~ iirl~ cr :J3CD({)CD([)_ (Drt.Qo.. ::.:" . o.o>m III 3 -.::;c-. ,,,,. r;n8"O U'lcor:)"::l vl,- ,^ ~ CD ~::l ~ 0 ID _"Al.C.l cp::d Y I ;: ro Q !!!.

Ifthe deer population exceeds 20 deer per square mile, the carrying capacity of the land, or the available food and habitat for the deer, typically is not sufficient to effectively support the resident deer herd. In addition, public safety concerns are directly associated with the number of car/deer collisions in and surrounding Anoka County park areas. Furthermore, reproductive, age, and mortality data are collected and analyzed to generate an estimated deer population index. As a result, controlled archery deer hunts within the Anoka County Park System are determined annually based upon the analyses of the available survey data. Last year, based on 2010 aerial survey data and the associated overabundant deer population densities that were recorded, controlled archery deer hunts were implemented during the fall archery season. The following tables summarize last year's survey data, harvest objectives, and the 2010 harvest results: 2010 DEER SURVEY DATA AND HARVEST OBJECTIVES Desired Minimum Total Park Number of Known Deer Square Live Deer to Deer Density Miles plus Harvest Remain in Survey Observed (deer/sq. 2S% Buffer Objective Park Date Park (deer) mi.)

If the deer populations in these park areas are left unchecked, it is quite probable that car/deer collisions will continue to increase, thereby jeopardizing public safety, and the negative impact on native plant communities and associated wildlife habitat will continue to decline because of the heavy feeding activities generated by the overabundant resident deer herds. As a result, the Parks and Recreation Department is requesting the Committee to consider authorizing the following actions: . Controlled Archery Deer Hunts at Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park and Rice Creek Chain of lakes Park Reserve . Continued monitoring of deer herd populations within Bunker Hills Regional Park as the population has rebounded from three years of below goal level populations; populations are currently at the recommended maximum deer densities ,~ -z- " ANOKA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE JCF CASE NUMBER 325 E MAIN ST, ANOKA MN 55303 ADD'L PAGES 10282540 CLASSIFICATION CODE DISP CLASSIFICATION CODE DISP SUSPICION - ALL OTHER ACTIVIT 09820 S , CLASSIFICATION CODE DISP CLASSIFICATION CODE DISP CLASSIFICATION CODE D1SP CLASSIFICATION CODE DISP REPORTING OFFICER(S) 13137 DUSSL, JIM DATE REPORTED I~SSIGNED I~RRIVED l~LEARED IEARLlESTDATEIfIMEOCCURRED -ltATEST DATElTIME OCCURRED 12/12/2010 0813 0850 0906 LOCATION OF OFFENSE/INCIDENT =- ::= \APT# IGRID \VALUESTOLEN VALUE DAMAGED I '$LUE RECOVERED 15002 UNIVERSITY AVE NW, ANDOVER, MN 55304- A70 $ $ AiJ REPORTING PARTY'S NAME I DATE OF BIRTH ISEX IRACE HOME PHONE " , ADDRESS IAPT CITY I STATE ZIP WORK PHONE NARRATIVE RECEIVED A HUNTING COMPLAINT FROM AN ANONYMOUS PARTY THAT A MALE WAS HUNTING AT LOI, SPECIAL PERMIT HUNT, THAT WAS NOT THE HOMEOWNER.

Bow websites cite "kids" shooting as far as 500'. - - ~ . An arrow travels an average of 184 miles per hour, or 270 - '- feet per second. (Martin Archery). Bows allowed in New Jersey include: compound, recurve, or long. . The New Jersey Fish and Game Council will approve archaic, dangerous crossbows for deer hunting (all hunters) beginning in the 2009-2010 deer seasons. . Bow hunting is exceptionally cruel, inflicting maximum tissue, tendon, muscle and nerve damage. Dozens of scientific studies show that bow hunting yields more than a 50 percent wounding rate. "The rule of thumb has long been that we should wait 30 to 45 minutes on heart and lung hits, an hour or more on a suspected liver hit, eight to 12 hours on paunch hits, and that we should follow up immediately on hindquarter and other muscle hits, "to keep the wound open and bleeding." - Fins and Feathers "For a bow hunter to easily recover a wounded deer, the blood loss must be extensive. A deer will have to lose at least 35 percent of its total blood volume for the hunter to recover it rapidly." - Deer and Deer Hunting Into the Weeds: "Shooting from an elevated position." Hoping to muddy the waters, and to obscure the fact that dangerous, frequently errant projectiles do not belong near children and companion animals, bow hunting groups claim that the bill was amended to limit shooting from an elevated position, down onto the deer. For anyone who knows bow hunting, this claim is absurd: . An arrow-wounded deer fiees, sometimes for hours, or days, or even a week, with or without, the hunter in pursuit. While the initial shot may be from a tree stand, the follow-up shots certainly are not, and are beyond the hunter's control. please review the below statement from the Texas Wildlife and Parks Department. ~ . Soaring wounding rates - as high as 50 percent - are inherent to bow hunting. Tracking the wounded animal, and the blood trail, is part and parcel of the described fun. The number of bow shots required to kill a deer can reach fifteen. (See "Bow Report") The stricken deer ranges widely, and so does the hunter. To claim a single shot is , , chicanery, at complete odds with the nature of bow hunting, wounding, and tracking. The hunt lobby is asserting that before every shot, an excited hunter will climb into a tree, or onto an "elevated position," as the wounded deer flees in panic and pain - near houses, children, companion animals, across roads and property lines. ~O _ _ _E-!ty://www.safebackyards.com/BillFacts.htm 8/19/2011 Safe Backyards: The Facts-Straight Up Page 3 oB . 51181 does not require hunters to use tree stands, or to shoot downward, at 151'. Shooting from an elevated position does not deter accidents. (See "Accidents Do Happen.") 51181 places the onus on parents and other residents - for a strictly recreational purpose. Children, and companion animals, wander. Currently, we take their safety for granted. In this most densely populated state, and before the commercially-motivated "hunter access" campaign, New Jersey's safety buffer for bows was, and remains, 450'. New York stipulates a 500' safety zone for bows and guns - for a reason. "Conservation" Neither bill has anything to do with reducing deer numbers. In fact, the opposite effect is likely. In 2006, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department confirmed that bow hunting is nE!ither efficient nor humane: l'ArChery: [P]ublic deer hunt data suggests that hunter success is usually much lower with this method compared to firearms hunting. Additionally, archery hunting is commonly perceived to result in higher wounding losses and increased travel distances before deer succumb to their injury (Kilpatrick and Walter 19991 This could lead to possible conflicts with nearby residents and should be considered prior to employing this technique.

Motion carried unanimously. ANOKA COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT MONTHLY REPORT Captain Tom Wells from the Anoka County Sheriff's Office presented the Sheriff's Department Month Report to the City Council. CONSIDER SPECIAL BOW HUNTING REQUEST FOR SMITH'S ROLLING OAKS NEIGHBORHOOD Mr. Bednarz explained that members of the Smith's Rolling Oaks Neighborhood have requested permission for a Special bow hunt from November ISththrough December 31, 2010. Mr. Bednarz reviewed the information with the Council. Councilmember Trude stated they needed to look at the City Code and the question would be why there should be a special hunt because the DNR has not specified that there were too many deer in the area and the only confrrmation of too many deer were by the residents. She reviewed how Bunker Hills Regional Park does their deer hunt each year. Councilmember Trude wondered why they would allow a special hunt in the City for something like this. Mr. Dickinson stated they do have a provision in their City Code that does allow for a special hunt. They have done special hunts in the community before but they have been related to geese and predators (coyotes), via bow. The City does allow this by permit only. Councilmember Bukkila read from the City Code where this provision is listed. Mr. Bednarz indicated he talked to the DNR and they promote hunting, it is local ordinances that restrict the location where you can hunt and as long as they are following the DNR regulations the DNR does not have an issue with hunting. Councilmember Trude asked of the City Attorney's opinion on this. City Attorney Baumgartner stated he thought the code read the provisions sole purpose was to manage and control the wildlife populations and before the Council can make the decision on whether or not to allow this, he thought there has to be a decision made that it is necessary first, if that is going to be the exception or exemption to this section to allow for that sole purpose he thought the determination ";Q Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes-August 17,2010 Page 4 had to be made that it is necessary before it is allowed. Councilmember Trude agreed and thought they needed to fmd a reason for this special hunt. Councilmember Knight asked if the DNR is involved, it has to be open to all hunters. City Attorney Baumgartner stated he was not sure how they do the special hunts. Mr. Bednarz stated the DNR does have a process that hunters have to go through to qualify for their special hunts. He stated the difference here is this is a request by the local residents and is not a DNR sponsored thing. Mr. Dickinson stated the request is to do the hunt during regular hunting season which the DNR allows and the City restricts where hunting is done and the residents is requesting to hunt in a restricted area. Councilmember Bukkila stated she talked to the DNR and they said there was no proficiency test at all for adults, only juveniles. She was under the impression that they were not going with a special hunt but asking for authorization to hunt on their own property. Councilmember Knight stated one of the opponents stated there were strange hunters on their property and blocking their driveways so he wondered if this would be open to anybody. Mr. Bednarz stated the proposal is for the residents to hunt on their own property and no one else's property. The Council discussed past hunts and the reasons for and against a special hunt in the City. Councilmember Bukkila stated she did not see a reason to not try to make this happen for the people in this neighborhood. Councilmember Trude asked how much area Councilmember Bukkila thought they should have for bow hunting because she talked to people who bow hunt and they indicated they need to have room for tracking of the injured deer besides just shooting the animal. Mayor Gamache asked if the sole purpose of managing and controlling deer populations any deer hunting season. City Attorney Baumgartner stated that was true along with the sportsmanship of it. Mayor Gamache asked if it was necessary for a City in this regard to look at it and indicate that there is an over population of deer when it is normally deer hunting season and others will be hunting in permitted areas of the City. City Attorney Baumgartner thought it also had to be read in conjunction of where the hunt is going to occur as well and has to be hand in hand. Councilmember Trude thought this needed to mean somethmg because if they wanted hunting to happen all the time in that area they should have added it to the map as a permitted hunting area when previously reviewed. She thought there needed to be a reason for a special hunt in this area even though it would be during hunting season. Mr. Don Wilson, 14920 University Avenue NW, stated he brought this forward to the Council and they have tried to do everything the City requested of them. He stated they would like to try it this year to see if it works and if it does not work then they will not request it again. Councilmember Trude stated she understood the request was from the middle of November .il Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes-August 17,2010 Page 5 through December and the concern of the residents was the concern for their children at during their school break and what the rush was to get this approved in August when they don't want to hunt until the middle of November. Mayor Gamache asked what happens when the hunter has to track the deer on another person's property, he understood the hunter could not carry along the weapon but could track the deer. Mr. Wilson stated his understanding was if they needed to track the deer off of their property they needed to get the permission of the property owner where the deer is to get the deer but if denied by the property owner the hunter is supposed to contact the DNR and a DNR agent will come out and take care of the deer. Mayor Gamache stated it was his understanding that the hunter would abide by all DNR regulations, only hunting from a tree stand, field dress the deer on their own property, tracking the deer only by getting permission by the land owners, the plan is to only go for the doe and the hunting time would be middle of November through December 31 st with this being the trial year. He agreed that they would not need to necessarily make a decision at this meeting in order to get more neighborhood input. Councilmember Trude stated some of the people in this neighborhood are not comfortable with ,the bow hunting and they like the idea that when the County has a special hunt they have people go through a DNR proficiency course and pass in order to hunt and she wondered if they would be willing to make that a requirement. Mr. Wilson did not see a problem with that if that is what it takes to get a special hunt approved. Councilmember Bukkila stated she would like to have at least fifty percent of the adjacent properties to approve in order to approve this hunt. Councilmember Jacobson stated his impression of the meeting tonight and the meetings in the past is that government tends to make things really complicated and with the discussions they have had tonight he thought they are making this overly complicated and he would like to make a motion for possible discussion. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Bukkila, to allow the special bow hunt for Smith's Rolling Oaks, only the first and second weekend of December 2010 and they must obtain permission from property owners to do tracking outside of own property, property owner only, no one from the outside, tree stand shooting only, following DNR guidelines and must hunt on own property. Councilmember Jacobson stated this issue has come up over the last five years and he used to live in that area and understands there are a lot of critters in that area and over the four and five years they have been looking at this they have come up with ideas why they should not allow this and he would not be in favor of voting for this if it were the entire length they wished to hunt but he thought at this point for the number of people who said they were in favor of this or at least allow it, he would like to see how it goes for two weekends and see if they get complaints and if it is a problem that limits the exposure and then they can find out what is true and false and go from there. 3.;l Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes-August 17, 2010 Page 6 Mayor Gamache stated to clarify and make sure they have everything he wanted to know what the first two weekends in December are and he would like to have the dates noted in the motion. Councilmember Bukkila stated it would be December 4_5th and 11-12th. Mayor Gamache asked if it was in the motion that permits were required. Councilmember Jacobson stated it was not. Mr. Jerry Colbert, 56 146th Lane, stated he wanted to be included in this hunt and did not know how he got excluded. He noted he did bow hunt. He stated the DNR does not qualify the hunters, they pull names for permits and those that get permits get to hunt. Mr. Michael Engelmann; 14835 Evergreen Street NW, stated eighty percent of the lots in the area are 2.5 acres and the City Ordinance states a bow may not be fired within a 150 feet of a residence. He showed a map to scale of his lot showing there was not anywhere on his lot that he could shoot a bow without hitting another residence. He stated he has concerns with the deer running but he was also concerned about hunting in the area and maintaining a safe distance from other residences. Councilmember Jacobson stated Councilmember Bukkila has to leave the meeting soon and wondered if they should vote on this now. Councilmember Trude stated she could make a motion to table this until the September 7, 2010 meeting. Motion by Trude, to table the motion until the September 7, 2010 City Council meeting. Motion failed for lack of second. Mr. Don Granander, 14800 Evergreen StreetNW, stated the if the deer population was too big they would be eating the underbrush and in their neighborhood the brush is so thick you cannot even walk through it so the deer are very healthy. He stated the reason why they moved to Andover is because of the deer and turkey and Mr. Bednarz told him that the City has not had any complaints about the deer except from the people who want to hunt the deer. Mr. Bednarz indicated that was correct. Mr. Granander did not think the deer were a big problem. He thought the deer hunt will cause bad feelings in the neighborhood between residents. Mr. Ray Sowada, 14921 Butternut Street, asked if a crossbow would be allowed because he has received special permission by the DNR to use one. City Attorney Baumgartner stated this was handled in a special way by the DNR and thought it would be allowed if the special bow hunt is approved. Councilmember Bukkila left the meeting at 8:30 p.m. Ms. Shirley Beam, 121 Andover Boulevard, stated she was at the meeting a couple years ago in opposition of this based on safety issues and the non existence need to reduce the number of deer because offood shortage and the questionable use ofbows and arrows. Her questions to consider were: If they were using the argument of overgrazing leading to starvation as the "33 Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes-August 17,2010 Page 7 rationale how could it be justified with the lush vegetation they have now and the deer are not starving. If the request is approved, how would limiting the number of deer killed be enforced. If approved how would landowners only be monitored. If approved how could the rule of no baiting be enforced. If approved how would the decision to allow hunting benefit the residences of Andover and would there be a benefit to Andover to do away with the deer. Ms. Beam noted some bushes and trees that are deer resistant that could be planted along with liquid that could be placed in the yard to deter the deer. She suggested the DNR should be involved to find out if there are too many deer and get experts to set the limits and time to hunt. Councilmember Jacobson stated his motion should include "only property owners would be allowed to hunt". Mr. Jim Williams, 14810 University Avenue, stated he is a qualified sharp shooter for the Metro Bow Hunter Resource Base and participates in local area hunts throughout the seven county metro area and an instructor for the DNR for the advanced bow hunter education program and one of the things they focus on is respect for the land owners and respect for the animal. He stated as they move forward with this experiment for the hunt he expected they will be under the microscope and should expect zero tolerance of any negative events so the participants in this hunt should take it very seriously and responsibly and understand their neighbors limitations and being very patient and responsible in waiting for a very humane shot so they do not have to deal with a long trailing situation. He stated in light of this experience he would like to keep those things in mind. Mr. Forrest Brothen, 14149 Butternut Street, stated this neighborhood is very unique and quiet and there are a lot of deer. He thought the DNR should have the say on if there are too many deer in the neighborhood or not. He stated minus Ham Lake, two out of three sides they can hunt now so all of the issues being discussed are already in play now and how many complaints do they get now from the neighborhood to the City. Councilmember Trude noted a few complaints they have received over the last couple of years. Captain Wells stated he has pulled reports in that area and he has not seen any. Councilmember Trude thought they needed clarification on the 150 foot because she thought people were confused. Mr. Bednarz stated this is a local ordinance. City Attorney Baumgartner stated the 150 feet is from the point of discharge to the residence, it has to be 150 feet. Mr. Jerry Colbert, stated he wanted to hunt because there are so many deer in their neighborhood and so much deer excrement in his yard. Mr. Mike Engelmann, 14835 Evergreen, stated at the last meeting nine out of ten people were against this, Councilmember Knight and Jacobson were against it and he wondered what changed. He wondered if there has been lobbying and wanted to know who was for or against this. He thought independents needed to take the survey in the area and not the hunters. He thought this needed to be an independent study. He wondered why the Councilmember's changed their votes. "'34.f Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes-August 17,2010 Page 8 Mayor Gamache stated they have not voted yet so he did not know if the votes changed but they had a different request at the time and it was for a permanent change for a larger area in the City, now it is restricted to a smaller neighborhood and for a shorter period of time for only one time, not permanent. Councilmember Jacobson called the issue to vote. Councilmember Trude stated she was looking back at the minutes of September 5,2006 and it seems like the reason why this keeps coming back is because when the Council says no, the residents don't take no for the answer. She stated in 2006 everybody was here and now when she looks at the petition it is empty except for two people and she noticed a lot of homes on the list with no response and she thought it came back because when they looked at the hunting ordinance this spring they reviewed areas that should be able to hunt and the people that came to them in 2006, the people bringing the petition thought they had their foot in the door to come to them when they were rewritit}g the whole hunting ordinance and they could just open the area permanently and at that time they were told no but there was a provision to come in and get a special hunt. Now they have brought a petition, supposedly informing the entire neighborhood and she did not know if they had all the information and did not feel there was a rush to get to a decision. When she looked at the concerns people had in 2006, she did not think they have addressed those concerns. She did not see some of the people who were concerned and she knew there were people who contacted her who were afraid they will not have good relationships in the neighborhood when this is done. There are other areas in the City where this would be a better fit. She would prefer if the people on the north side of South Coon Creek came in because they would have the space to do this. She was very worried about the families who have children and their playing in the backyards while a hunt is going on in the woods. She thought this will restrict the use of people's property for the limited time the hunt would be allowed. She stated they do not know the people that will be hunting or how qualified they are to hunt. She stated they have the testimony from Mr. Cahill in 2006 regarding the age hunters need to be and that concerns her that they could have first time hunters out there. Councilmember Jacobson stated the hunter has to be the property owner and relatives cannot hunt on the land, which is the motion he made. Councilrnember Trude asked if the only people who can hunt are the ones on the deed. Councilmember Jacobson indicated that was correct. Councilmember Trude stated they need to figure out the 150 foot rule because the deer stand would not necessarily be 150 feet away from the neighbor's property. Councilrnember Jacobson thought the neighbors would regulate violations and report anything they see that is not right. He thought they were making this too complicated and thought the hunters will be very careful because if there are problems they will not get this hunt again in future years. Councilmember Knight stated they have to understand that the real bow hunting season runs 2.5 months and these residents are looking at four days, two Saturdays and two Sundays so it is very minimal. Councilrnember Trude stated the risks are the same. City Attorney Baumgartner stated in looking at the ordinance itself the Council is being asked to 3S Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes-August 17,2010 Page 9 exempt this hunt from the ordinance and in looking at the language they have to find that the sole purpose is for the management and control of the animals. There is one other requirement under Article 5, Chapter 4-10, #2, that the exemptions allowed provided the hunt has received DNR support and understood the motion contemplated following the DNR guidelines and regulations and he wanted to make sure they are keeping within the intent and spirit of the Ordinance in granting the exemption. Councilmember Jacobson stated that was correct and in his motion. He understood that staff contacted the DNR and they did not have an issue with bow hunting. Mr. Bednarz concurred. City Attorney Baumgartner stated if there is a violation of any of those conditions then are they to assume that they are not exempt from the ordinance and therefore in violation of the ordinance and subject to a misdemeanor citation by law enforcement. Councilmember Jacobson and Mr. Dickinson indicated that is how they understood it to be. City Attorney Baumgartner stated Councilmember Jacobson's motion was to restrict it to the residence only and if it is the intent that it be the property owner, he thought it was two different things. Councilmember Jacobson indicated it would be the property owner. Motion carried 3 ayes, 1 nay (Trude), 1 absent (Bukkila). CONSIDER TWO YEAR TIME EXTENSIONffIMBER TRAILS :fVD ADDITION Mr. Bednarz stated Landmark Community Bank is seeking a time extension to extend the approval of this plat for two more years. Motion by Trude, Seconded by Knight, to approve the proposed time extension for Timber Trails 2nd Addition. Councilmember Jacobson stated when the plat was approved they got two years automatically and then were granted a one year extension and now are looking for two more but wondered why they wanted another two years. Mr. Jerry Moynagh, Landmark Bank, indicated they have only owned the property for one year and in this economy one year is not long enough and expect it to get done within two years. Councilmember Jacobson asked if this is extended for two years what does the City lose. Mr. Dickinson stated potential things that could come into play is if some pennitting changes come into play such as the watershed district What may be on their plat may not comply with what some permit requirements might be. Mr. Bednarz stated they will have to update their watershed approval with any changes and will need a permit from the County Highway Department Mr. Dickinson stated this is not a full blanket exemption for changes but it does provide a level of security from the plat perspective. Motion carried unanimously. (See Resolution R065-10) 3" @ e 1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD N.W, . ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304. (763) 755-5100 FAX (763) 755-8923 .

Councilmember Jacobson stated he wants to change bis vote to present because he has a conflict of interest with Item 4. PUBliC HEARiNG/ORDINANCE AMENDMENT/DEER HUNTING REGUlATIONS City Administrator Dickinson explained the City Council is considering adopting a change to the FirearmIBow Discharge Map, which illustrates where hunting and shooting activities may take place ~ in the City. Several property owners in the Prohibited Zone have requested that their land be placed in Restricted Zone 2. which would allow them to hunt deer with bows & arrows on their property. Mr. Dickinson reviewed the information with the Council. Councilmember Trude asked for clarification on how this item was brought to the Council. Mr. Dickinson explained. Commi!'t<rioner Knight asked how many of the parcels would be 2.5 acres or greater. Mr. Dickinson stated at minimum they are 2.5 acres but some could be larger. Mr. Bednarz showed the corrected shaded area proposed for bow hunting. Councilmember Trude asked if this was an error in publication or notification. Mr. Dickinson stated they need to only consider the area east of Prairie Road. Motion by Councilmember Jacobson, Seconded by Councilmember Knight, to open the public hearing at 7:34 p.m. Motion car.ried unanimously_ Mr. John Beam, 121 Andover Boulevard, asked if this would permit only the landowner to hunt on , their property. Councilmember Orttel indicated that is correct Mr. Beam asked how the permission aspect happens. Councilmember Trude stated it would need to be written permission of smrounding neighbors. She stated they have to look at their ordinance. The other Councilmembers indicated there is no ordinance pertaining to this. Mr. Dickinson stated he would enhance bullet item two indicating they would have to get written permission of all adjacent property owners. s-r q /s/o~ NU "'''~ 20F[ 0 Regular Andover City Council Meeting e Minutes - September 5, 2006 Page 5 Mr. Beam asked if this meant that no people other than the property owners could hunt Did this mean relatives of the property owner could not hunt on the owner's land. He wondered where the line is. Councibnember Trude stated their existing ordinance refers to immediate family but that is in regard to farms. CounciImember Orttel indicated on large parcels, it could only be immediate family. Councilmember Jacobson referred to Chapter 4 of the ordinance regarding weapons. City Attorney Hawkins stated the ordinance does not state anything regarding immediate family. If they want to limit it to only family members it should be included. Councilmember Orttel thought: their intent would be to only allow immediate family and relative's authorization to hunt. Mr. Beam. assumed the hunter would need a license and he wondered. ifthere was any concern about bonding for reparations in case of damage to adjacent properties. Councilmember Orttel thought it was standard property law that if there was damage, they would need to pay to repair it. Councilmember Trude stated there is no City license discussed so State Law allows anyone over a certain age to go without al?-Y training to get this license and the time period is several months. Councilmember Orttel stated they have to follow the State Law. 0 Mr. Beam. stated there is also a standard hunting procedure that a wounded lInimal may be followed e by the hunter. He wondered if that will prevail here. Councilmember Knight indicated that is State Law. Mr. Beam saw some real concerns in tenns of hunting an lmimlll that may be injured and may barge onto someone else's property where there may be young children. He thought this was a real liability and should be looked at Mr. Dickinson stated regarding the notifications, the mailings and advertisement did go out appropriately. Ms. Arlene EIin, 137 Andover Boulevard, stated her parcel is 3_5 acres and she is not interested in having any bow hunting on any of the properties. She stated Mr. Beam's property and hers have the bulk of the forests and she enjoys seeing 1he deer on her property. She is not at all for this and thought there was ahuge safety issue with this. She stated an injured deer.bit by a bow is going to go where they know they are safe which the woods are. She stated she is totally opposed to this. She thought if they wanted to present a proposal for thinnine a heard of deer they should do that but this is a proposal to change the zoning to allow hunting. They are two different issues. There have been no studies from the DNR to say how many deer are in the ar~ and is the concern wanting to hunt or wanting to thin the heard. She did not see the concerns anywhere regarding too many deer in the area. 0 Ms. Ruth Moss, 147th and University A venue, stated they have a lot of deer in their area but she is I against having bow hunting on her property or surrounding area. She thought no trespassing signs in a residential area would be out of place and she wondered who would clean up the area after hunters cam~ tbrough. She thought there was a better way to control the deer population. $2 q /~/o(p MrNl>~ So o.f 7 . Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - September 5, 2006 Page 6 Mr. Doug Kelly, 14745 Evergreen Street. stated be is for the bow hunting being reinstated. He would like the right to make that choice. He did not think people would come fi'om the outside to hunt on their properties but he would like the right to hunt in his backyard if they had the choice. He indicated goose hunting is permitted close totheir homes with shotguns on forty acre parcels. This is also open for deer hunting with slugs and shotguns. Ms. Linda Meyer, 155 Andover, stated they have been there five years and have spent the last four years pushing their lawn further back and it is a beautiful backyard. She DOted her grandchildren . play out there. The thou~t of deer hunting going on in their back yard is out of the question. She stated they live in a residential area with other homes and people. The resident next to her feeds the deer. She did not think hunting deer should be permitted in,th.eir backyards. Mr. Don WIlson, 14920 University Avenue NW, stated he is in favor of hunting wi1h bows. He did not think anyone would be injured. He also thought that if a deer is shot, it needs to be followed to take care of them. It is the law and a hunter cannot just leave a wounded deer. He thought if the City wants to make some laws regarding this. they should and 1he hunters will follow them. , Ms. Shirley Beam, 121 Andover Boulevard, passed out and read a letter regarding this item to the Council. Mr. Jeff Price; 330 1 ~ Lane, stated he has had 34 years experience and he has yet to trespass. It is up to him to find the boundaries; it is his responsibility. They have a whole book oflaws. He has heard that a lot of deer have been killed on Andover Boulevard and he wondered who benefits from that. They have automobile damage, life safety issues and the deer goes to waste. He wondered why they won't let a hunter take a deer and benefit from the meat. He did not see a problem with that hunt He noted elevated stands are very safe for bow hunting and he thought hunters use ethics. He stated it is right to ask permission of the property owners to go on their property. Ms. Cynthia Fetser, 172 146tb A venue, stated she is not a hunter; she is a veterinarian. She has lived in 1he area for several years and has seen them go from one ortwo deer in their Y.!l1'd to maybe twelve or thirteen deer in theiiyard. She is concemed about 1he deer population and how th.ey are gettinghit and killed on the road. She stated the hunters she knows that want to hunt in her neighborhood are extremely responsible people who take hunting seriously. They Want to hunt and not wound and to make sure the Rnimals are not suffering. The hunters she knoWs that want to have this passed feel strongly about mAking sure theses animals are not wounded- She supports them being able to do that on their property if they get permission from the people arol.ID.d them. , Mike Engelmann and Nancy EngebnAnn, 14835 Evergreen Street NW, stated their concern is about safety. They presented a letter to the Council and showed a drawing of their property and the shooting radius allowed in Andover. Mr. Engelmann stated he could not place the radius anywhere on his property and be the required shooting radius of 150 feet fi'om any occupied residence. He stated they are against the bow hunting. 5"J qjs-tcP MIW/1'T7:7 4eF7 0, Regular Andover City Council Meeting e Minutes - September 5, 2006 Page 7 Mr. Adam Wmiarczyk, 14942 Evergreen Street, stated they are strongly opposed to this change. Andover is a rapidly developing and populated suburban area now and opening up more residential areas to lnmting is not the direction the Ci1y should be moving in. The City should be moving in the opposite direction for this reason. They are not a rural area. anymore. This area under consideration is relatively small but there are always a lot of children, walkers, drivers and bikers outside at all times. He stated he is not against hunting. He is a hunter himselfbut is considerate to go up nor1h to hunt He did not think this is safe. Ms. Marsha Murphy. 14826 Buttemut Street NW. stated there are more deer than twenty-five years ago but there is also more population in Andover. She stated iftbis change is passed she could have four neighbors hunting at the same time. She has a strong concern for her children and they go to school and come home during prime hunting time. She is totally against this. Mr. Pat Cahill indicated he is at the meeting representing Chris Wallace at 225 Andover Boulevard. He is a hunter but has some concerns as far as the bow hunting goes. There are some issues regarding the population of deer and he has been around that area enough to know that it is not a biological caring capacity that they are worried about; it is a social caring capacity which is how 0 many deer that people in the area will tolerate. That area could probably handle two to three times the number of deer biologically than it has now. It all comes down to how many car kills and how e much people will tolerate. A legal issue that would need to be addressed is people that do feed in their backyards on a two and a half acre lot. If you are two lots away and those deer are heading to that feeding pile. there !ire some baiting issues that run within the State of Minnesota and those would have to be addressed. As far as trespassing to pursue wounded game. he was almost sure that if they leave the property and go to the next property. unless they have permission from that owner, they cannot Carty a weapon with them to go to the next property but they can pursue the wounded game. Mr. Cahill stated if the property owner does not give permission" the only way they can go on the property is with a Conservation Officer or someone appointed from the DNR. He did know that on smaI12.5 acre lots, they are going to have' a percentage of deer that do get hit with a bow. even a fatal bit that are going to leave the property. He stated it is up to the bow hunter to follow the game. Mr. Cahill stated he is not opposed to hunting himselfbut he thought there are some issues that need to be addressed. He stated the only thing that he knows is that any of the hunts he has been involved with in small tracts ofland like this. those allowed people from outside areas. This one will not but everyone has to have a bow hunting certification through the State of Minnesota and they also have to pass a proficiency test to show they are capabie of hitting a certain number of arrows in a designated size target at twenty yards. With those kinds of restrictions he thought it was possible to 0 hold a hwrt but it takes some time to ~et those things in play plus getting everybody else in the neighborhood understanding what is happening and also having a general consensus of everyone there that knows what is going on. He also did not think that if they are going to have a hunt that e they could have it at the beginning of the season, which starts September 16 and ends on December 31 st. Most of the hunts 'that they do run a period of tbree or four days and they try to pick the days where people are not going to be out and active. Most ofth~ they do run late in the year and most -- Sv q!",~~ Mr'V(ITF7 S-oF 7 . Regular Andover City C07.l1'Wil Meeting Minutes - September 5, 2006 Page g of the time snow is on the ground. That way it is easier to follow game. Most people are not outside playing and they are notified t1urt on certain days there will be hunters there and it would be tightly regulated. His biggest concern is the way this is wri1ien is that it is pretty loosely regulated and does not leave a lot of room for safety issues and general concern of how it is presented to the public in the form of bow hunting. He thought if they are going to do something like this. they do it in the best way possible for the image of bow hunting to the public in the area. Councilmember Orttel asked what another way of getting deer is. Mr. Cahill stated they could hire a sharp shooter. which would be pretty expensive. Councilmember Orttel stated they originally wanted to have a hunt for a couple of days but the DNR would not allow that so the City needs to expand their hunting area to allow bow hunting duringthe entire hunting season which seems pretty liberal. Mr. Cahill stated they could also trap the deer. which would also be pretty expensive. He stated the most effective way has been through hunting and it can be done through bow hunting and he would like to see it done on pretty tight parameters so it is controlled and they do not have a black eye coming out on the bow hunting issue. He stated some of the hunts, like Bunker Hills, have worked , to control the deer population.. Commissioner Knight asked how high an elevated stand typically needs to be. Mr. Cahill stated there is no height restriction and the only regulation they use is that they do not have screW-in tree steps. As:fur as height. it is what the State ofMN says and a portable stand has no height restriction on it. Mayor Gamache asked if this area has quite a bit more space left before it biologically becomes an issue. Mr. Cahill stated when they start looking into a forest and can see from head high to the ground that there is no vegetation that is when there are way too many deer. He stated they are a long ways from that CounciJmember Tmde indicated she is not certain if they investigated the route that Bunker Hills uses. Mr. Dickinson stated they looked at that process early on and that is an option afforded to them if they are willing to go through the costly fly-over conCepts with DNR officials. It has to be completely petitioned of the DNR and the DNR has to do the review, counts via an aerial and it is very costly. He stated a project of this si.ze does not meet the DNR criteria. CounciJmember Knight stated a correction is with a wounded. anlT\:!al. They can go onto other properties with a weapon.. When pheasant hunting you have to leave the weapon behind. , Councilmember Tmde asked ifit is correct that at a certain age a person could get a license without any training for bow hunting. Mr. Cahill thought there was something now that stated. under a certain age you need to have a bow hunting' certificate to now get a license in the State of Minnesota. Councilmember Trude thought a concern the residents have is the State does not regulate the quality of people pulling that license. Mr. Cabill thought thiS was something the City could require, that a person would have to have the certification in his possession to hunt s-r , q/r;/()(p MI"'~~ 0 Regular Andover City Council Meeting (; of 7 Minutes - September 5, 2006 IJ Page 9 Mr. Wayne Regotta, 134 146fb Lane, agrees with the people on the other side of Andover Boulevard. He asked if this only includes the bow hrmflng of deer or other things. Mayor Gamache stated it is to just bow hunt deer. Mr. Regotta stated he does not support this change. Mr. Ray Sowada, 14921 Butternut Street. statedhe.bas lived in the area since 1978 and they have had very few deer but as the population of Andover starts growing and the houses appear, the deer start going in the treed areas. He stated a lot of the deer come up from Bunker Hills and work their way up to the area when they have the hunting season down. in the park.. He started this to get something going and to include the 2.5 aCres for the deer hunting. He has bow hunted since he was twenty years old. He indicated he is for this hunt. Councilmember Trude asked if Mr. Sowada would have a problem getting his neighbors to allow him to hunt on bis property. Mr. Sowada thought his neighbors would allow him to hunt. Motion by Councilmember Jacobson, Seconded by Councilmember Trude, to close the public hearing at 8:28 p.m. Motion canied Im$lnimously. 0 Mayor Gamache stated he had several questions. He is not familiar with the history of why the hunt e area moved north and he would like to have staff look into this. He stated some of the things Mr. Cahill brought up were pretty interesting because some of the concerns he has are if they are to dQ this, it be done correctly. Some of the issues the residents have are legitimate; however, for some it is just in their backyards where hunting is already allowed. Mayor Gamache stated they may want to look at requiring a bow hunting ceitificate in order to bow ,hunt. A resident asked if they should require a rifle hunter to also have a certificate because rifle hunting is allowed just to the north of them. Mayor Gamache indicated he wants to have staff look into this. Motion by Councilmember Trude, Seconded by Councilmember Jacobson, to deny the change. Councilmember Knight stated he is a bow hunter and he could tell them from both sides of the issue there are some very valid positions. First of all, deer bit with an arrow rarely go less than fi:ftyyards; usually it is one hundred or more. Deer are involved in car accidents at an unbelievable rate. There is a problem with deer. Deer also desfroy a lot of plants in yards and it is a dilemma. Hunting in the next yard is also a dilemma He did not know how they could get all the neighbors to consent to a hunter bow hunting on their property. He also wondered how tall a stand needs to be. He has had more calls opposing this than opposing anything else in a long time. 0 Councilmember Jacobson stated he once lived in this area and there are a lot of unanswered questions. He did not think the take on the deer would be very many in terms of numbers that would e solve their problem. While he understood there is a problem he did not know if the way being proposed is the :right way to do it right now. If they are going to do something, he thought it needs more thought and consideration and he would not be able to vote for it this year. S" q /4i"~(p Mwv-rz:s , Regular Andover City Council Meeting '7or7 Minutes - September 5, 2006 Page 10 CounciImember Trude indicated she is also against this because of the safety issue for the children. She thougbttbree months was too long to allow a hunt to happen especially with children going to school and walking in the area. Councilmember Orttel stated there are two problems he has. In the discussion most of it had to do with. the technicalities of how they could fit hunting into 2.5 acre areas and he thought this was foolish because half the city does this and they have done it for thirty years or more and there has never been a problem of any type. The issue is if there is a problem, no one is addressing the problem. The neighborhood came to them indicating there was a problem. and asking for a solution. He stated he was smprised there was no other way than to harvest the deer. He was also SUIprised they would use shot guns in Ham Lake because he was told they did not He stated there is a problem that ought to be addressed before it gets worse. Mayor Gamache felt they need more information before they either approve or deny the change. He was not ready to go ahead with a vote to say no to make a change. f Councilmember Trude stated the reason she made the motion to deny was because the people have been disturbed in their neighborhood with the information that deer hunting may happen in their neighborhood and they are concerned about everything the Council has heard about and she did not see that postponing this decision will give them the ability to go home and relax and not wony. She coQDted twelve people that spoke against it and she has had phone calls and emails from others opposing this. She stated if this is postponed to get more information, the implication is this may happen and the residents will need to stay tuned and she felt this is not a good way to leave all the people that came to the meeting. Motion failed to deny the change on a 2 ayes, 3 nays (Koight, Gamache, Orttel). Mayor Gamache stated there have been no changes to the ordinance so hunting is still not allowed in that area. Councilmember Knight stated feeding the deer did not do them or the public any good because it is encouraging the deer to be around and gather and cause problems. CONSIDER NOVEMBER BALLOT QUESTION - OPEN SPACE REFERENDUM City Administrator Dickinson explained an Andover Council 2005-2006 goal is to explore open ' , space preservation. Questions relative to open space were integrated into the recent community survey conducted by Decision Resourqes, me., which indicated that there is strong support for the City to purchase open space for the purpose of preservation. The survey also indicated that residents would be supportive of an increase in property taxes to support open space preserVation in. the ammmt of$20.60 on an annual basis. ,1 5EP~eR S;'~OV S~~ lofC9 Cli) 0 e 1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD N.W. .

I ~ive in that area. I enjoy the deer in my yard since the city has developed so much that it has destroyed their natural habitat. But it is really a question of safety. Please check with the city of Plymouth as it recently CLOSED its city owned archery range due to safety issues. ' Yes, we have two and one,-half acre lots and larger, but some homes are still close ~d the deer can be between houses. Compound bows will travel a significant distance and I don't believe there !~ 'any licensing necessary to shoot a bow. Also, it would greatly upset me to see a wounded deer in my yard. In that case, I would call the city and expect them to provide veterinary services for the animal. I will not allow hunters on my property. I do not want zealous hunters shooting anything in my yard. - Sincerely, ~~ Jean Carlstrom -- ~(, --- ..Aw.,v~r 2...'L.l 200(, W~MlNCJn? e Special Anduver City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes - August 22, 2006 Page 9 CHANGES IN DEER HUNTING REGULATIONS Mr. Neumeister stated Council requested information on changing the border of the bow hunting area on the map to allow hunting in an area where it is currently prohibited. He reviewed Chapter 5-4 of the City Code. "He noted several property owners in the Prohibited Zone have requested that their land be placed in Restricted Zone 2, which would allow them to hunt deer with bows and arrows on their property. Their properties are in the R-l zoning district, which means they are at least 2.5 acres and have private wells and septic systems. The area to be added would be north of Andover Boulevard between Prairie Road and University Avenue. He indica.te4 to accomplish this request, the Council will peed to change the ''FirearmlBow Discharge Map." If the Council approves this map amendment, then:final changes will be made to the official map on file at the City. As with all changes to the City Code, a public hearing will be required. Councilm,?mber Trude noted the west side of Prairie Road should not be cross-hatched. , Councilmember Jacobson asked if the deer were no~ killed in this area what other options did they have. City Administrator Dickinson stated there are few options. Councilmember Knight expressed concern about the boundaries with the neighborhoods and how they would keep arrows from going into neighboring yards. He asked what they would do with wounded animals. He indicated with bow hunting, deer are not immediately killed and would, run. Counci1member Knight believes they should state a resident can hunt on their property as long as they have the neighbor's permission on both sides of their property. Mr. Neumeister stated it is virtually impossible to change the hunting regulations and all they can change is the map. Counci1member Trude stated she is concerned about the risk and the risk is high. , Councilmember OrtteI did not know how effective this change would be. CouncilJI?ember Jacobson did not know what good it would do to have the bow hunting. Councilmember Knight suggested they require an elevated stand so 1he bow would be shot toward the ground. i Councilmember Trude did not believe there has been enough. demand for this. Councilmember OrtteI stated he understood the resident's concerns, but he did not know what good this would do. 1,1 -4.>GLFS,f 2.2.1 2004> W~SIfoP MrNv~ t>^ ((> E z.. 0 Special Andover City Council Workshop Meeting It Minutes - August 22. 2006 Page 10 ; Councilmembers Jacobson and Trude stated they did not believe they should hold the public hearing.

Councilmember Jacobson stated by the time they hold the public hearing, it went to P&Z and it came back to them, the season would be over. Mr. Neumeister stated it is his recommendation they have the public hearing at Council, and bypass the P&Z meeting. Councilmember Jacobson is not happy about a public hearing, but if the rest of the Council want one, they should hold the public hearing. 0 Councilmember Knight stated part of the problem is the more deer there are, the more e automobile accidents there would be, and the more people would get i:njured. .-. 2006 BUDGET UPDATE Mr. Dickinson stated the City Departments bave prepared requested 2007 Annual Operating Budgets; the deanline for each deparbnent's submission to Finance!

He reviewed the budget guidelines and requested Council input. COUncilmember Jacobson asked if staffknew what might be a carryover on unused funds this year. Mr. Dickinson responded whatever is saved they make available for next year's budget to keep the levy down. The adopted budget for 2006 was 7.9 million and estimates for expenditures was 7.8 million. He noted they would be $100,000 under budget in the general fund. However, he noted revenues are going to be higher than anticipated due to storm permits. He stated within the fund balance area they are doing well. Councilmember Trude asked if they want to add another Sheriff Deputy at this time based. on 0 people following the budget so closely_ She noted this is a pretty much status quo budget with significant increases in road funding and minimal east ofliving increases.

DISCUSSION It Chapter 5-4 of the City Code regulates where firearms may be discharged in the City. It is referred to as our "Discharge Ordinance." The ordinance references a map that illustrates three discharge zones in Andover: 1) Prohibited Zone: The discharge of firearms and bows is completely prohibited. 2) Restricted Zone 1: 10 acres required to shoot a gun, 2.5 acres required to shoot a bow & arrow. 3) Restricted Zone 2: 10 acres required to shoot a gun at geese, 40 acres required to shoot a gun at deer. 2.5 acres required to shoot a bow & arrow; Several property owners in the Prohibited Zone have requested that their land be placed in Restricted Zone 2, which would allow them to hunt deer with bow & arrow on their property. Their properties are in the R-l zoning district, which means they are at least 2.5 acres and have private wells and septic ' systems. The area to be added would be north of Andover Boulevard between Prairie Road and University Avenue (see attachment). To accommodate this request, the Council will need to change the "FirearmlBow Discharge Map." If the Council approves this map amendment, then fmal changes will be made to the official map on file at the City. As with all changes to the City Code, a public hearing will be required.

UPDATE ON SPEClAL DEER HUNT REQUEST City Administrator Dickinson stated Council has requested informationre~ a special huntto reduce nuisance populations of geese and deer within the City. Councilmember Orttel stated if they have a neighborhood with iii hundred homes and they have a deer problem, chances are not everyone will think it is a problem so what do they do about that Mr. Dickinson stated they would just open up the areas to hunt on their own land or permission to hunt on someone else's land. . Councilm.ember Jacobson wondered if there is a limit on the number of licenses. Councilmemher Knight explained how the license works. Mayor Giunache wondered if they should have a public hearing on this. Councilmember Orttel thought a public hearing would resolve a lot of questions that will be brought up by the public. Councilmember Jacobson wondered how they would notify the residents in the area of a public hearing. Mr. Dickinson stated this is an ordinance modification, not a variance type of request so they would come through a tempormy ordinance process to say the map is referenced and they would modifY the map. Councilmember Trude stated her concern is the residents will be surprised about Andover allowing bow hunting in peoples' backyards and she thought they need to look at this being rea1lyrestricted if this goes forward like ,they do in Bunker Park.

DISCUSSION Any decisions regarding a hunt in the City during the regular firearm or bow hunting season is at the e City's discretion. The City's discharge ordinance governs where people may hunt. Any change in the Ordinance requires a Council action. If the Council wishes to change the borders of the restricted hunting zones, it will require a Code Amendment. A process is in place for Code Amendments that requires an application, public notification and public hearing, and a final resolution. If an effort is made to reduce the deer or goose population in the City, it will probably need to be carried out during the regular hunting season. Any out-of-season hunting in the State of Minnesota requires a significant investment of time and resources on the part of the City. While the DNR would play an advisory role and issue the pennit to take deer, it is in the City's hands to manage the program and provide the DNR with documentation detailing the symptoms of a deer population problem in the City. This would include a deer population survey (from a fly-over count), deer / car collision figures, resident complaints, etc. If the DNR determines that the animal population is presenting a problem that cannot be resolved through the normal hunting season, then a population goal would be set with a plan to remove a set number of animals per year.

Mayor Gamache did not think it had anything to do with the ~ost He thought it was pushed by Susan Huston to have it all recorded at 1he studio and he indicated he could discuss this with her to see what could be done.

Carlberg, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Consider Special Bow Hunting Request for Barnes Rolling Oaks Area DATE: September 20,2011 INTRODUCTION A hunter in the Barnes Rolling Oaks Area is requesting that the Council consider allowing a special bow hunt from October 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011 as indicated in the attached letter. DISCUSSION On August 23, 2011 Council work session the Council discussed allowing the Smith's Rolling Oaks area to be included in the Restricted Zone South hunting area. It was the consensus of the City Council to not change the City's maps to include Smith's Rolling Oaks in the restricted area for hunting purposes and if residents were interested in requesting a special hunting permit they would need to file a petition with the City. These requests would be decided at a regular City Council meeting and would include a public hearing. ACTION REQUESTED The Council is asked to discuss the request and provide direction on how to proceed.

CC: Jim Dickinson, City Administrator - Dave Carlberg, Community Deve pme t Director l FROM: Courtney Bednarz, City Planne!'i SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit (11-04) for outdoor display, storage and sales for Time to Thrift at 13735 Round Lake Boulevard - Planning DATE: September 20,2011 INTRODUCTION The proposed outdoor display, storage, and sales is located in the Andover Downtown Center between King's County Market and Panda Garden Buffet. The property is zoned Shopping Center (SC). Outdoor display, storage, and sales - during operating hours only in the Shopping Center (SC) Zoning District requires an approved conditional use permit per City Code 12-12. DISCUSSION The applicant is proposing outdoor display, storage, and sales along the front of their leased property. The plan shows the outdoor display, storage, and sales area extending the length ofthe storefront and extending four feet into the sidewalk. The outdoor display, storage, and sales area would be used to display products typically found in a boutique or furniture/home store. At this location the sidewalk is 12 feet from the curb to the storefront, leaving eight feet of sidewalk remaining. Based on the sketch provided by the applicant, the front door access will be clear of all exterior storage. Proposed is an eight foot wide pass in front of the door that remains clear of display, storage, and sales. Review Criteria 12-14-6 B. provides the following criteria for granting conditional use permits: 1. In granting a Conditional Use Permit, the City Council shall consider the advice and recommendation ofthe Planning and Zoning Commission and: a. The effect ofthe proposed use upon the health, safety, morals and general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands. b. Existing and anticipated traffic conditions, including parking facilities on adjacent streets and land. c. The effect on values of property and scenic views in the surrounding area, and the effect of the proposed use on the Comprehensive Plan. Fire Department Review During review of the application the Fire Department identified an issue with storage of combustible materials under the canopy, which does not contain fire suppression. The attached section ofthe International Fire Code (315.3.1) shows this restriction. This means that the types of items that could be displayed outdoors would be limited to non-combustible items. The Council could consider a variance to this section of the International Fire Code, although there could be liability issues in the future if a combustible item from the display area were to catch fire and cause damage to the commercial center. The Fire Department does not support a variance to this requirement. New Construction and Fire Suppression One of the questions raised at the Planning Commission meeting was whether canopies on new buildings are required to have fire suppression. Canopies adjacent to buildings with fire suppression are also required to provide fire suppression. This does not include gas station canopies which are not required to provide fire suppression. Planning Commission Recommendation The Planning Commission recommended approval of the conditional use permit with an additional condition that no combustible items be displayed outdoors with a 6-1 vote. The minutes from the meeting are attached. ACTION REQUESTED The City Council is asked to approve or deny the proposed conditional use permit.

She indicated the Andover Downtown Center was steel construction with a concrete sidewalk and felt the risk for a fire was extremely low. Ms. Egan noted the building owner Dave Hanson, supported her outdoor storage request. She stated she would be more than willing to mount a fire extinguisher at the entrance of the store to assist with safety. Ms. Egan explained that outdoor storage was allowed for other commercial uses throughout the City and that she should not be singled out or excluded. She requested the Commission approve her Conditional Use Permit request. Commissioner Kirchoff questioned if the goods would remain outside the store unsupervised. Ms. Egan stated they would be supervised and the household goods would only be placed outside in warm weather and would be pulled in each night. Commissioner Holthus asked if the applicants lease mentioned anything about outdoor storage. Ms. Egan was unaware of any language or stipulations. She reiterated that the building owner, Dave Hanson, had signed the application and was in favor of allowing outdoor storage. Commissioner Gudmundson inquired if the items being displayed outside were overflow goods or being placed outside to gain attention from potential customers. Ms. Egan stated her site had been vacant for five years and she wanted to draw attention to passer- bys. Commissioner Gudmundson questioned if window displays were possible. Ms. Egan commented this could be done if she had to, but that sales increased when items were placed outdoors for display. She indicated the outdoor items were drawing people into the store. Commissioner Gudmundson expressed concern with the amount of items that would be displayed outside and that they would encroach into the required three foot walking path. Commissioner Holthus stated she was pleased to see the Andover Downtown Center spaced being rented. She asked if the applicant had spoken to the neighboring tenants to see if either opposed the outdoor storage. Ms. Egan indicated she spoke with representatives from County Market and the sign placement was discussed. She noted Panda Garden was also pleased with the site being rented as it was increasing their business. Commissioner Walton questioned if a "No Smoking Sign" was posted outside of Time to Thrift. Ms. Egan stated the only sign posted outside of her store was "No Roller Skating, Biking or Skateboarding". She indicated she could have this sign posted to increase the safety in the canopy area. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - September 13, 2011 Page 4 Commissioner Kirchoff asked why the Conditional Use Permit request was brought before the Commission at this time. Mr. Carlberg stated a call was made to the City regarding the outdoor storage at Time to Thrift. Chairperson Daninger inquired if the building was sprinkled. Ms. Egan stated the building did have automatic sprinklers. However, she did not have time to speak with the building owner about extending the sprinkler heads to the canopy area. Chairperson Daninger questioned ifthe display items were placed outdoors year round. Ms. Egan clarified that items were only placed outside on clear, wann days. No items were placed outside on rainy, windy, or wintery days. Commissioner Holthus asked if more items would be placed outside if the Conditional Use Permit were approved. Ms. Egan did not anticipate placing more items outside the storefront as it was a great deal of work to bring the items in and out of the store on a daily basis. Motion by Kirchoff, seconded by Holthus, to close the public hearing at 7:40 p.m. Motion carried on a 7-ayes, O-nays, O-present, O-absent vote. Commissioner Walton inquired if the City required new structures to have outdoor sprinklers in canopy areas. Mr. Bednarz explained he was uncertain that this was required, but indicated some newer canopies have been sprinklered. Commissioner Cleveland requested the City's defInition of outdoor storage. Mr. Bednarz stated City Ordinance states outdoor storage includes items that are kept outside for a longer period of time such as vehicles and equipment in an industrial area. He stated this is different than display during operating hours only. Commissioner Cleveland did not feel the request before the Commission this evening did not fall into the "Outdoor Storage" classification. Therefore, if the items were not considered "Outdoor Storage" the Conditional Use Permit was not necessary. Commissioner Gudmundson stated the items placed outside were on "Display" and had to follow City Code 12-12. Mr. Bednarz reviewed City Code 12-12 with the Commission. Mr. Carlberg explained that this was not a zoning issue, but rather the City's building/fire code did not allow for the storage or display of combustible items in un-sprinkled canopy areas. He indicated another issue at hand was to bring businesses throughout the City into compliance with the City's outdoor storage regulations. Commissioner Kirchoff explained that he did not feel the items displayed in front of the store considered "storage" either. He supported the Conditional Use Permit request. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - September 13, 2011 Page 5 Commissioner Olsen felt the outdoor storage regulations were too extreme and that the Code could hinder businesses throughout the City if strictly enforced. Mr. Bednarz further reviewed City Code 12-12 stating the word "combustible" would need to be further defined as only non-combustible items were allowed to be displayed outdoors. Commissioner Holthus commented the outdoor display could be brought into compliance if the wooden bookshelf were replaced with a metal bookshelf. Chairperson Daninger asked if combustible items could be displayed on the three foot sidewalk area that is not under the canopy near the curb. Mr. Bednarz stated this was not covered in Code, but may not be the safest option. Chairperson Daninger indicated it would be difficult for him to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit and go against the recommendation of the fire department. Motion by Olsen, to recommend to the City Council approval of Resolution No. 11-04, to Approve a Conditional Use Permit for Outdoor Display, Storage and Sales for Time to Thrift at 13735 Round Lake Boulevard, and that the applicant, adjacent tenants and building owner sign a liability waiver to hold the City harmless. Commissioner Cleveland requested the word object be changed to obstruct in the Resolution. The motion failed for lack of a second. Commissioner Kirchoff explained he would have a difficult time going against the recommendation ofthe Fire Chief. He suggested the City Code regarding outdoor display and storage be reviewed by the Commission in the coming months. Chairperson Daninger indicated he would be willing to review this Code further if the Commission made the recommendation. He felt the stipulations were affecting Andover businesses. Commissioner Holthus reviewed the Resolution requesting a third stipulation be added to allow for only non-combustible items to be stored or displayed outdoors. Motion by Holthus, seconded by Olsen, to recommend to the City Council approval of Resolution No. 11-04, to Approve a Conditional Use Permit for Outdoor Display, Storage and Sales for Time to Thrift at 13735 Round Lake Boulevard, and that only non- combustible items be allowed in the outdoor storage display. Commissioner Cleveland again requested the word object be changed to obstruct in the first condition ofthe resolution. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - September 13, 2011 Page 6 Commissioner Walton clarified that the four feet of display area should be four feet in depth from the leased storefront and not the four feet closest to the curb. Chairperson Daninger indicated he could support this Motion carried on a 6-ayes, I-nays (Gudmundson), O-absent vote. Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the September 20, 2011 City Council meeting. PUBLIC HEARING: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (11-05) FOR OUTDOOR STORAGEAND INTERIM PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AT 3160 16~D LANE NW. Mr. Bednarz noted the purpose of this item is to hold a public hearing and take input on the application for a Conditional Use Permit at 3160 1620d Lane NW for outdoor storage. Mr. Bednarz reviewed the proposed Conditional Use Permit with the Commission. Commissioner Cleveland requested further information on the recycled aggregate material. Mr. Bednarz stated this was a crushed asphalt material that would be rolled out in the outdoor storage area and act much like a bituminous surface when compacted. Commissioner Holthus asked ifthis product was less expensive than an asphalt surface. Mr. Bednarz stated this was the case. Commissioner Walton questioned how this site compared to the vehicle sales lot in this area of the City. Mr. Bednarz stated the sites were similar but curbing was required by the City at the vehicle sales due to the parking expansion; increase in impervious surface and to assist in directing drainage to the storm water pond required by the watershed district. Chairperson Daninger inquired who created the landscaping plan. Mr. Bednarz commented the applicant presented the City with a landscaping plan which was then reviewed in accordance with City requirements. Chairperson Daninger asked if an additional eight trees could be requested of the applicant. Mr. Bednarz stated this would bring the landscaping plan into compliance with the City's standards and the additional trees would provide a larger buffer from Round Lake Boulevard. He indicated a septic system would be installed on the site and would provide additional limitations to plantings in the northwest area of the site.

A letter describing the existing use of the property, the proposed use of the property and all of the proposed site improvements, d. Other information deemed necessary by staff to review the request. 2. Council Determination: The City Council shall approve or deny the application based on the factors established in this section. The City Council may attach such conditions as they determine necessary to provide the appropriate level of site and building improvements to accomplish the purpose of this section, The level of required improvements shall be determined on a case-by-case basis. Applications shall be reviewed based on the following factors: a. Existing appearance of the building and site; b. Compatibility of the proposed site development plan with the other industrial properties in the area; c.

Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the September 20, 2011 City Council meeting. PUBLIC HEARING: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (11-05) FOR OUTDOOR STORAGEAND INTERIM PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AT 3160 16~D LANE NW. Mr. Bednarz noted the purpose of this item is to hold a public hearing and take input on the application for a Conditional Use Permit at 3160 162nd Lane NW for outdoor storage. Mr. Bednarz reviewed the proposed Conditional Use Permit with the Commission. Commissioner Cleveland requested further information on the recycled aggregate material. Mr. Bednarz stated this was a crushed asphalt material that would be rolled out in the outdoor storage area and act much like a bituminous surface when compacted. Commissioner Holthus asked if this product was less expensive than an asphalt surface. Mr. Bednarz stated this was the case. Commissioner Walton questioned how this site compared to the vehicle sales lot in this area of the City. Mr. Bednarz stated the sites were similar but curbing was required by the City at the vehicle sales due to the parking expansion; increase in impervious surface and to assist in directing drainage to the storm water pond required by the watershed district. Chairperson Daninger inquired who created the landscaping plan. Mr. Bednarz commented the applicant presented the City with a landscaping plan which was then reviewed in accordance with City requirements. Chairperson Daninger asked if an additional eight trees could be requested of the applicant. Mr. Bednarz stated this would bring the landscaping plan into compliance with the City's standards and the additional trees would provide a larger buffer from Round Lake Boulevard. He indicated a septic system would be installed on the site and would provide additional limitations to plantings in the northwest area of the site. Motion by Walton, seconded by Kirchoff, to open the public hearing at 8:11 p.m. Motion carried on a 7-ayes, O-nays, O-present, O-absent vote. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - September 13, 2011 Page 7 The applicant, Ron Johnson, 16651 Quicksilver Street in Ramsey was in attendance. Commissioner Gudmundson asked ifthe trees in the southeast corner could be saved. Mr. Johnson stated the trees would be removed to allow for additional storage. He stated the cottonwood trees were a nuisance and had to be removed. Commissioner Olsen requested further information on the height ofthe future garage. Mr. Johnson noted the garage would be single story and 26 feet in height to the peak. Motion by Walton, seconded by Kirchoff, to close the public hearing at 8:14 p.m. Motion carried on a 7-ayes, O-nays, O-present, O-absent vote. Commissioner Kirchoff was in favor of removing the cottonwood trees from this site as they were a nuisance. Chairperson Daninger questioned if staff had a preference on color of the fence slats. Mr. Bednarz recommended the color match the proposed building color as closely as possible. Motion by Kirchoff, seconded by Walton, to recommend to the City Council approval of Resolution No. 11-05, to Approve a Conditional Use Permit for Outdoor Storage and Interim Performance Standards at 3160 1 620d Lane NW. Chairperson Daninger would be in favor of additional shrubs and trees within the landscaping plan. He noted he would support the request but stated the additional greenery would appease the neighboring properties. Motion carried on a 7-ayes, O-nays, O-absent vote. Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the September 20,2011 City Council meeting. WORK SESSION - COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. Mr. Bednarz provided the Planning Commission with further information on Commercial Development in the City of Andover. He indicated this topic of discussion was brought about by the Commission at a past meeting. One concem was if the City had enough property zoned Commercial and Industrial. Mr. Carlberg reviewed the new Economic Development information available on the City's website with the Commission.

Mr. Bednarz noted the purpose of this item is to hold a public hearing and take input on the application for a Conditional Use Permit to allow for outdoor display, storage and sales at 13735 Round Lake Boulevard. Mr. Bednarz reviewed the proposed Conditional Use Permit with the Commission. He discussed new information received from the Fire Department regarding storage beneath overhead projections. The Fire Department did not recommend allowing any outdoor storage of combustible materials under the canopy without sprinklers, as regulated by the Fire Code. Commissioner Holthus questioned what the consequences would be if the fire code were not followed. Mr. Bednarz indicated the Council could vary from the code, but liability issues may arise. This was not the recommendation of the Fire Department. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if the regulation was part of the overall Fire Code that the city adopted. Mr. Bednarz stated this was the case. Commissioner Kirchoff inquired if the proposed outdoor storage was planned for evening hours or only during business hours and whether this should be considered storage. Mr. Bednarz stated this was discussed with the State Fire Marshall and he recommended that regardless of the amount of time that no combustible items be allowed to be stored under an un-sprinkled canopy. Commissioner Olsen asked if the Planning Commission would need to hold a public hearing and review the variance, if this option was recommended, or if the City Council could do this. Mr. Bednarz stated the Council has the authority to approve a variance and would need to state findings to allow for the variance from the Fire Code. Commissioner Olsen recommended the applicant sign a liability waiver releasing the City from any liability if the item were to proceed. Chairperson Daninger commented that if the area were sprinkled outdoor displays and storage would be allowed. Motion by Kirchoff, seconded by Holthus, to open the public hearing at 7:17 p.m. Motion carried on a 7 -ayes, O-nays, O-present, O-absent vote. Jackie Egan, 16462 Bittersweet Court, felt there was a discrepancy between what was and what was not allowed in outdoor displays throughout the city. She drove throughout the City and commented that gas stations are allowed to have outdoor storage, with combustible items, near gas pumps. FWlO I , ~NDbVE* 1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD N,W, .

LMV ~J Os- V - -- ~ ( / '- :) \ ---j,-, ( I (;JL / ---' (" , -, "j {~J , Trespass is the most frequent complaint landowners have against hunters. Trespassing is illegal and can ruin hunters' and the DNR's relations with private landowners. This could in turn hamper habitat programs, cut off land access, and possibly eliminate the future of hunting in many areas of Minnesota. Always ask permission before entering private land. Any entry onto the private property of another without permission is considered trespass. Landowners may be able to pursue court action against trespassers whether the property is posted or not. If you are caught trespassing, you may be issued a citation and assessed a fine under civil penalties, and repeat violators can lose their license or registration. Or, if you are convicted of violating trespass laws under criminal procedures, you may lose your hunting privileges for up to two years, lose hunting equipment, and be subject to fines and possibly a jail sentence. All DNR conservation officers and all other licensed peace officers enforce trespass laws and may issue a citation to a person who trespasses in violation of the law or who removes a sign without authorization. A summary of the Minnesota Outdoor Recreation Trespass Law begins below. RESTRICTIONS (See below for exceptions, definitions, and posting requirements) · A person may not enter legally posted land for outdoor recreation purposes without permission. · A person may not enter agricultural land for outdoor recreation purposes without permission. · A person may not remain on private land for outdoor recreation purposes after being told to leave. · On another person's private land or a public right-of-way, a person may not take a wild animal with a firearm within 500 feet of a building occupied by humans or livestock without written permission of the owner, occupant or lessee of the building. · A person may not take a wild animal with a firearm within 500 feet of a corral containing livestock without permission. · A person may not take a wild animal on any land where the person is prohibited from lawfully entering by this law. This prohibition includes coyote hunters running their dogs on posted or agricultural land without permission of the landowner, occupant, or lessee. · A person may not wound or kill another person's domestic animal, destroy private property, or pass through a closed gate without returning it to the original position. 6 -- ----------- TRESPASS LAW Exceptions · A person on foot may, without permission, enter land that is not posted to retrieve a wounded animal that was lawfully shot, but may not remain on the land after being told to leave. · A person on foot may, without permission, enter private land without a firearm to retrieve a hunting dog. Mter retrieving the dog, the person must immediately leave the premises. This excep- tion does not authorize the taking of the wild animal. DEFINITIONS AND POSTING REQUIREMENTS · "Outdoor Recreation" means any activity including hunting, fishing, trapping, boating, hiking, camping, and engaging in winter sports which is conducted primarily for the purposes of pleasure, rest or relaxation and is dependent on or derives its principal benefit from natural surroundings. · ''Agricultural land" is land that: 1) is plowed or tilled; 2) has standing crops or crop residues; 3) is within a maintained fence for enclosing domestic livestock (including horses); 4) is planted to native or intro- duced grassland or hay land; or 5) is planted to short-rotation woody crops (hybrid poplar and other woody plants that are harvested for their fiber within 15 years of planting). IMPORTANT NOTE: All planted grassland and hayland and all hybrid poplar and other woody plants that are harvested fir their fiber within 15 years of planting meet this definition, including grasslands enrolled in the federal Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP), or the state Reinvest In Minnesota (RIM) Reserve program. These lands do not need to be posted to prevent unauthor- ized trespass. However, land that is brush or trees, including CRR CREp, and RIM Reserve that is brush or trees, (except short-rotation woody crops as defined above) does not meet this definition and must be posted or verbal notice given to trespassers fir criminal enfircement to occur. Hunters and trappers: Always respect private lands. Ask first before entering lands not posted as being open to hunting and trapping. Ytlu will improve relationships between landowners and recreationists, and you will have a more enjoyable time in the field. · To be legally posted, land must have signs: -posted once each year that state "no trespassing" or similar terms either: 1) along the boundaries every 1,000 feet or less, or in wooded areas where boundaries are less clear, at intervals of 500 feet or less; or 2) at the primary corners of each parcel of land and at access roads and trails at points of entrance to each parcel, except corners only accessible through agricultural land need not be posted. -with lettering at least 2 inches high and the signature or the legible 7 2011 MINNESOTA HUNTING REGULATIONS name and telephone number of the owner, occupant, lessee, or author- ized manager. An unauthorized person may not post land with signs prohibiting outdoor recreation or trespass. · Notification to stay off private land, authorization to remove a sign posted to prevent trespass, or legal permission to enter private land or to take wild animals near occupied buildings or corrals, may only be given by the owner, occupant, or lessee. Penalties · Violating the Minnesota Trespass Law can make you subject to either civil or criminal penalties: · Civil penalties are: 1) $50 for the first violation; 2) $200 for the second violation in a 3-year period; 3) $500 and loss of every license and registration being used for a third or subsequent violation in a 3-year period; and 4) $50 for unauthorized removal of a sign posted under this law. · Criminal penalties are at least a misdemeanor for violation of this law. In addition, it becomes a gross misdemeanor to: knowingly disregard signs prohibiting trespass, trespass after being told not to do so, or to violate the trespass law twice within a three-year period. Anyone convicted of a gross misdemeanor violation of the trespass law while hunting, fishing, trapping, or snowmobiling will have the applicable license and registration for that activity revoked and will have all hunting privileges suspended for two years. Rules of Thumb for Water Access and Recreational Use These are simple rules of thumb and are not intended to address all water access and recreational use situations. If you have doubts about whether you may be trespassing on private land, we recommend that you ask the landowner for permission. 1. What is lawful access? A stream or lake is lawfully accessible if there is a public access, or if public land or a public road right-of-way abuts the surface of the water, or if you have permission to cross private land to reach the surface of the water. 2. What is recreational use? Recreational use includes boating, swimming, fishing, hunting, trapping, and similar activities. It includes walking in the water in connection with such activities regardless of who owns the land beneath the surface of the water. 3. What waters are open to recreational use? A stream or lake is open to recreational use over its entire surface if it is capable of recreational use and if it is lawfully accessible. Any water that will float a canoe is capable of recreational use, but other waters may also qualify depending upon the circumstances. 8 TRESPASS LAW landowner Liability (Minn. Stat. 604A.20-604.27) An owner who gives written or oral permission for the use of the land for recreational purposes without charge does not, by that action: - extend any assurance that the land is safe for any purpose, - confer upon the person the legal status of an invitee or licensee to whom a duty of care is owed, or - assume responsibility for or incur liability for any injury to the person or property caused by an act or omission of the person. Road right-of-way Some road right-of-ways are not owned by a unit of government. In these instances the landowner has granted an easement for vehicle and foot travel. The landowner generally retains authority to restrict access for hunting or trapping and may prohibit trespass by posting the land or by verbally directing hunters and trappers to leave the easement. It's always best to ask permission if in doubt about the own- ership of a road ditch area. County or township offices also may be able to help determine the ownership status of a road ditch.

Specific regulations for various game species are in the Big Game, Small Game, Trapping, Water- fowl, and Wild Turkey sections of this booklet. ARMS RESTRICTIONS Firearms Transportation Unless transporting under the exceptions listed below, a person may not transport a firearm, including a handgun, in or on a motor vehicle unless the firearm is: · unloaded* and in a case made expressly for that purpose; · unloaded* and in the closed trunk of a motor vehicle; or · carried under a valid permit to carry a pistol or handgun. Under the following circumstances, a person may transport unloaded, uncased firearms (excluding pistols) in a motor vehicle, including ATVs: · while at a shooting range with permission · while lawfully hunting on private or public land or while travelling to or from a site the person intends to hunt or has lawfully hunted that day. Firearms must be transported unloaded and cased: · within Anoka, Hennepin, or Ramsey counties. · within the boundaries of a home rule, charter, or statutory city with a population of 2,500 or more. · on school grounds · as otherwise restricted in game refuges, shining or night vision laws. Transportation of Bows No person may transport an archery bow or crossbow in a motor vehicle unless the bow is not armed with a bolt or arrow. Handguns Persons age 18 or older may carry a handgun in the woods and fields or upon waters to hunt or target shoot. Persons under age 18 may carry handguns for hunting if in the actual presence or under the direct supervision of the person's parent or guardian, and if they meet firearms ~ safety requirements (see page 14). Except those licensed to carry a con- cealed weapon, a person may not possess a firearm while bowhunting * An "unloaded" firearm is defined as a firearm without ammunition in the barrels and magazine, if the magazine is in the firearm.

A person may take bear, elk and moose by archery while in possession of a firearm. Questions regarding handguns should be direct- ed to local law enforcement authorities.

Other members of the hunting party cannot take antlerless deer for the youth. Youth may not tag anderless deer taken by another individual. Youth hunters must take and tag their own anderless deer. Firearms Safety Training Demand for Firearms Safety Training Classes is high, and many classes fill very rapidly or have waiting lists. Finding a class well in advance of the hunting season is highly recommended. Youth may attend a class at age 11. Information on classes can be found online at mndnr.gov Federal Aid in Wddlife Restoration Minnesota's rich outdoor heritage is enjoyed by all- thanks to hunters like you, whose purchase of hunting and recreational shooting equipment supports wildlife management and habitat enhancement. When you purchase a rifle, ammunition, archery equipment, and other sporting gear, you pay a federal excise tax and import duties. Since 1937, this money has been collected by the federal government and redistributed to the states using a formula based on hunting license sales and the state's land area. Minnesota's share of the Wildlife Restoration Funds has reached almost $200 million, $11.59 million in 2011. These funds support projects, habitat management, Wildlife Management Areas, technical guidance, population management, wildlife inventory and surveys, wildlife land acquisition, and hunter education, recruitment and retention.

A nonresident Furbearer Hunting License is not required to take fox and coyote. However, a Small Game License is still required to take fox and other small game. - - - - - - - - - --- - -------- ~ ~- ~---~-~--- - GENERAL RESTRICTIONS Blaze Orange Blaze orange is required for most small game hunting. See pages 24 and 25 for specifics. Closed Sharp-tailed Grouse Area The shaded area on the map at right is closed to sharp-tailed grouse hunting, except for licensed prairie chicken hunters within their selected zone. Few sharptails live in the area, and the closure protects remnant populations of sharp tails and prairie chickens (a similar-looking species). Party Hunting for Small Game A "party" is defined as a group of two or more persons maintain- ing unaided visual and vocal contact with each other while taking non- migratory small game. "Party hunting" means that members of a party may take animals for other members' limits. A party may lawfully take small game in accordance with the following regulations: · A member of the party may take more than an individual limit, but the total number of small game taken and possessed by the party may not exceed the combined limits of members of the party. · Each party member may transport only an individual limit of small game. · Party hunting is not allowed for migratory game birds (doves, ducks, geese, mergansers, coots, woodcock, rail, sandhill cranes, snipe, and gallinules). Use of Lead Shot · No person may take ducks, geese, mergansers, coots, sandhill cranes or gallinules with lead shot or while having lead shot in possession. 35 ----------- 2011 MINNESOTA HUNTING REGULATIONS · Lead shot may be used statewide for hunting other small game in accordance with firearms restrictions in this booklet, except in fed- eral Wildlife Refuges and Waterfowl Production Areas. Prairie Chickens 2011 Prairie Chicken Hunting Licenses have already been allocated by a drawing for the five-day hunting season. Prairie chicken hunt- ers must have a prairie chicken hunting license; no small game license is required. Applications for next year's season will be available to Minnesota residents only in June, 2012. Applications will be due the last Friday in July. Persons who do not have a prairie chicken license may not aid or assist prairie chicken hunters in any way. For example it is illegal for someone without a prairie chicken license to work dogs for someone with a prairie chicken license even if that person is licensed to take other small game. However, party hunting for prairie chickens is legal. That means that licensed prairie chicken hunters can shoot birds for other licensed prairie chicken hunters as long as they are together and they have not exceeded the total number of birds allowed for the party. Woodcock, Rails, Snipe, and Doves · Duck Stamps (state or federal Migratory Waterfowl Stamps) are not required to hunt woodcock, rails, snipe, sandhill cranes, or mourn- ing doves. · Compliance with the migratory bird harvest information program is required by indicating "yes" in response to the migratory bird hunt- ing question on the license (see page 33). · Shotguns used to hunt these birds must not be capable of hold- ing more than three shells, unless plugged with a one-piece filler that cannot be removed without disassembling the gun, so its total capacity does not exceed three shells. Partridge and Pheasant · A person may not shoot pheasants or Hungarian partridge with a rifle or handgun other than a .22 caliber rimnre using short, long, or long rifle ammunition. Furbearers · A person may not disturb the burrow or den of any wild animal between November 1 and April 1, without a permit. · A person may not take pine marten, fisher, mink, muskrat, beaver, or otter by firearms or archery hunting. However, a firearm may be used to dispatch an animal already taken in a trap. (continued on page 40) 36 -- -.- --- ------ SMALL GAME TRAPPING Coyote Hunters - Know Your Target! Wolf and Coyote Identification Wolves have been mistakenly shot Minnesota's Primary Wolf Range outside Minnesota's primary wolf range because hunters thought they were coyotes. Wolves were once restricted to the northern part of Minnesota, but they have expanded their range and could show up in any part of the state. Do not assume that because you are outside Minnesota's primary wolf range that the animal in your sights is a coyote. Wolves and coyotes are closely related, but are well distinguished by their difference in size and physical characteristics, In Minnesota, gray wolves are a protected wild animal and currently there is no hunting or trapping allowed. Shooting a gray wolf because you think it is a coyote is illegal and punishable by Minnesota Game and Fish laws. Always know your target!

Some enrolled lands may not be posted by September 1, but will be open by September 17. This is the first year of a three-year pilot project to enroll lands in 21 southwest counties. Parcels will be clearly marked with signs and maps will be available online at www.mndnr.gov/walkin. WIA lands will be already enrolled in a conservation program such as the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) or Reinvest In Minnesota (RIM). Cropland would only be enrolled to allow access to conservation fields. Other activities such as trapping, target shooting, camping, horseback riding, fishing, dog training, etc. are prohibited. The ongoing success of this program depends on ensuring landowners' continued interest. Please follow the Code of Conduct while hunting these privately owned lands.

It belongs to a group of infectious diseases known as "transmissible spongiform enceph- alopathies" (TSEs). It is caused by an abnormal protein, called a prion, that affects the animal's brain and is invariably fatal. Usually, months to years pass from the time an animal is infected to when it shows signs of the disease. Typical signs of the disease include drooping head or ears, poor body condition, tremors, stumbling, increased salivation, difficulty swallowing, or excessive thirst or urination. A good source for national CWD information can be found at WWlVocwd-info.org. Minnesota-specific CWD information begins on page 62. Carcass Import Restrictions To help prevent the spread of CWD, hunters cannot bring whole cervid (deer, elk, moose, caribou) carcasses into Minnesota from areas of other states or provinces where CWD has been found in wild deer or elk. A list of known areas from which carcass import is restricted can be found at www:mndnr.gov or by calling the DNR information number (see page 125). From these areas, hunters may bring only the following parts into Minnesota: · Meat that is boned out or that is cut and wrapped (either commercially or privately) · Quarters or other portions of meat with no part of the spinal column or head attached · Hides and teeth · Antlers or clean (no brain tissue attached) skull plates with antlers attached · Finished taxidermy mounts · Nonresidents transporting whole carcasses on a direct route through Minnesota are exempt from this regulation. 60 BIG GAME LEAD IN VENISON What hunters should know: · Lead particles found in hunter-harvested venison have not been linked to any illnesses. · Lead is a neurotoxin but toxicity depends on the level and frequency of exposure. It is particularly harmful to children 6 and younger and pregnant women. · Lead can have physiological effects on human bodies and brains at levels below that which would cause any noticeable signs of sickness. · The following guidelines and suggestions can eliminate or reduce and minimize the potential risk of consuming lead fragments, depending on the risk tolerance of the hunter. . Consider alternative expanding non-lead ammunition such as copper or other high weight-retention bullets, such as bonded bullets. These are available in a wide range of calibers as well as in shotgun slugs and muzzleloader bullets. For more information visit our Web site at: mndnr.gov or consult with manufacturers. · Lead particles in venison will likely be too small to detect by sight, feel, or when chewing the meat. · If you process your own meat, do not use deer with excessive shot damage. Trim a generous distance away from the wound channel and discard any meat that is bruised, discolored or contains hair, dirt, bone fragments or grass. · Avoid consuming internal organs. · Practice marksmanship and outdoors skills to get cleaner, closer shots and better shots. Ultimately, individual hunters need to make the decisions. The DNR and the Minnesota Department of Agriculture fully support deer hunt- ing and the venison donation program. Venison is a healthy, high quality source of protein. Lead contamination can be avoided by using non-toxic ammunition or reduced by using ammunition with high weight reten- tion, such as bonded bullets, and placing shots in vital areas away from major muscle groups and liberally trimming meat around the wound channels. 61 ------ -----.- 2011 MINNESOTA HUNTING REGULATIONS .S~;:~7~ ~~,~'..

The discovery of the disease in southeast Minnesota has prompted several regulatory changes. ~ · New CWO management area. A new CWD management area has been created. It has been assigned deer area 602. ~ · New deer management designation. A new deer area designation has been created called "Hunter Choice". Hunters will be allowed to take one either-sex deer per year in one of these areas. There is no lottery application. See page 71. ~ · Firearm and muzzleloader lottery either-sex permits. If successful in the lottery, hunters can use their permit in either the firearm or muzzleloader season, provided they have a valid license for that sea- son. See page 82. ~ · There is no early anderless deer season this year. The early antler- less season will be considered annually when formulating deer man- agement recommendations. Early antlerless hunting will be used if necessary in 2012. ~ · The firearm, muzzleloader, and archery special hunt tables are online only, they are not published in this book. CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE MANAGEMENT AREA Overview · The chronic wasting disease (CWD) management area is comprised of deer permit area 602. This is a new permit area created as a result of the discovery of a CWD-positive wild deer near Pine Island. · The intent of the CWD management area (deer area 602) is to maximize hunting opportunities and liberalize bag limits such that deer densities can be reduced and additional disease surveillance con- ducted in this area. · The area is almost entirely private land and access is limited. Hunters interested in pursuing deer in this area are advised to acquire landowner permission first. 62 ---- DEER. GENERAL · The season dates are: o Archery: September 17 to December 31 o Youth: October 20 to October 23 o Firearm: November 5 to November 27 o Muzzleloader: November 26 to December 11 · During the entire 23-day firearm season (November 5 - 27), a license valid for either season option (A or B) can be used in deer area 602. · Salt and mineral blocks and mineral attractants are prohibited in the CWO-related feeding ban described on page 80. · A person may take only one buck but may take an unlimited number of antlerless deer. · The antler point restriction and cross-tagging restrictions that were enacted in 2010 are not in effect for deer area 602. A person may take any legal buck. · Disease management permits, which are available for $2.50 from any ELS agent, may be used in deer area 602. Disease management per- mits are for antlerless deer only and should be used instead of bonus permits. They are not valid in adjacent deer permit areas; they are only valid in deer permit area 602, and the bovine TB area in the northwest. · Deer taken in the CWD area must be registered at one of the stations listed on pages 65. · Submission of a sample for CWD testing is mandatory for all deer harvested in the CWD area. This includes deer taken during archery, youth, firearm, and the muzzleloader season.

At the time of registration, a DNR representative will make the determination as to whether or not a sample will be taken. If the deer is a fawn, it will be tagged and can then be transported outside the area. If there is any question as to the age of the deer, it will be tested. · Deer that are tested for CWD must remain in the area until a nega- tive test result is reported. · Internet and phone registration does not work in deer area 602. Deer must be presented at an official CWD registration station. Deer Registration and Carcass Restrictions The biggest changes for hunters in this area will be where deer can be registered and how carcasses can be transported. The goal is to maximize the number of hunter-harvested samples but remain flexible enough such that deer registration and carcass restrictions are not overly burdensome. Achieving these goals will mean registration stations will have to be con- solidated and hunters may need to travel farther to register their deer. The agency is committed to doing what it takes to obtain samples; however, logistics preclude DNR from being everywhere, all the time. This is par- ticularly evident during the archery season because it is so long and so few deer are taken. Registration and surveillance in the CWD area only · Deer taken in area 602 must be presented for registration at one of the stations listed below. Check station operators will not register your deer unless there is verification that the carcass is present. · The phone and internet registration options will not work for this area. · Submission of a CWO sample is mandatory. · Hunters are encouraged to promptly register their deer so that the CWD sample can be removed and reported back in a timely manner. Removing the CWD sample takes only a few minutes and requires the extraction of one pair of lymph nodes from the head. The entire deer carcass cannot be removed from the CWD area (see map) until a nega- tive test is reported. The carcass restriction applies to all seasons. · CWD Registration store hours vary and hunters are encouraged to check with the station to make sure they are open when you plan on registering a deer. 64 DEER. GENERAL AITh~andm~kwa~ · Deer taken during the archery and muzzleloader seasons can only be registered at: o Pellicci Hardware, 90 E. Third St., Zumbrota o Greenway Coop, Pine Island o Archery Headquarters, 3440 Northern Valley Place, Rochester o Kasson Hardware Hank, 11 4th St. SE, Kasson · During the warmer months, archery hunters are strongly encouraged to plan ahead and have a place to store their deer if they plan on even- tually transporting it outside the area. · Due to the low numbers of deer that will be taken, DNR will not be staffing these stations during the archery and muzzleloader seasons. Rather, a head box will be located at each site with specific instruc- tions regarding how to submit the sample. Even though you are sub- mitting a head for testing, whole carcasses cannot leave the CWO area until a negative result is obtained. · Deer can be registered and sampled at the Rochester DNR office by appointment only. Staff is limited and may not be present if you show up without an appointment. Firearm · Deer taken during the firearm season can only be registered at: o Pellicci Hardware, 90 E. Third St., Zumbrota o Greenway Coop, Pine Island o Archery Headquarters, 3440 Northern Valley Place, Rochester o Gander Mountain, 3470 55th St NW; Rochester o Kasson Hardware Hank, 11 4th St. SE, Kasson · DNR staff will be present at each of these stations from 9am - 7pm for the entire 23-day firearm season. Please register your deer during this time. Carcass Restrictions · Deer less than 1 year old (fawns) will not be tested for CWD; how- ever, if you plan on moving the carcass outside of the CWD area, it must be tagged by a DNR representative. Contact the Rochester DNR office at 507-206-2859 or a conservation officer (http://www. dnr.state.mn.us/officerpatrolareas/index.html) to make those arrange- ments. · Whole carcasses of adult deer taken within deer permit area 602 must remain in the area until a negative CWD test is reported. 65 ------- ----.-- 2011 MINNESOTA HUNTING REGULATIONS · The following deer parts can be moved outside the area without a CWD test result: o Meat that is boned out or that is cut and wrapped (either commer- cially or privately). o Quarters or other portions of meat with no part of the spinal col- umn or head attached. o Antlers or clean (no brain tissue attached) skull plates with antlers attached. o Finished taxidermy mounts. · Hunters who plan on having their deer head mounted must also com- ply with the restriction. DNR is working with area taxidermists to coordinate CWD sampling. Hunters are strongly encouraged to bring their deer head to a CWD registration station already caped because the sample collection will destroy the cape. · Hunters should also be aware that venison processors may not take your deer until a CWD test is completed. It is the hunter's responsi- bility to work with their processor in advance to determine how they handle carcasses. CWD Test Results Turnaround Archery and muzzleloader deer samples will be submitted twice weekly (Monday and Thursday). Firearm samples will be submitted daily throughout the 23 day season. In all cases, testing takes 3 business days. Completed test results will be available on the CWD page of the DNR website, www.mndnr.gov/cwd. If you do not have internet access, please call the DNR Information Center at 1-888-646-6367. To obtain test results, enter either your 9 digit MDNR number, which is found on your license or the 6-digit number on the orange possession tag that was pro- vided when your sample was collected during the firearm season. Once you have a negative test result, the carcass can be transported out of the zone. Individual test results will not be mailed and it is the hunter's respon- sibility to follow up if test results are desired. GENERAL DEER INFORMATION legal Buck and Antlerless Deer · A "buck" is a deer having at least one antler at least 3 inches long. See page 79 for a description of a "legal buck" (at least one antler with 4 points) for 300 series deer areas. Fawn bucks, sometimes called but- ton bucks, are not legal bucks. · "AnderIess deer" are those deer without an antler at least 3 inches long. 66 DEER - GEN ERAl License Purchase and Validity All deer licenses (archery, firearms, muzzleloader) may be purchased at any time before or during the season. However, a license purchased on or after the day the respective season opens is not valid until the second day after the day it is issued (for example, a license issued on Saturday would not be valid until Monday). A "day" means midnight to midnight. The "respective season" refers to the first season for which the license is valid. The exceptions are bonus and disease management permits, which are valid when issued if the appropriate regular license is valid. · Residents under 18 or a disabled person who has a permit to shoot from a stationary vehicle and a valid deer license may take a deer of either sex in a lottery deer area without an either-sex permit.

Note: Although hunters can buy all 3 licenses, the bag limits may not allow all 3 tags to be filled in a single deer area. It is the hunter's responsibility to know the bag limit for the areas they hunt. Lottery deer areas: The bag limit is one deer total per year, regardless of license type. If you take a deer in a lottery deer area, you cannot take another deer in another lottery or hunter choice deer area. However, you can take deer in managed or intensive deer areas provided you adhere to the regulations and bag limits for those areas. Bonus permits are not valid in lottery deer areas. ~ Hunter Cboice deer areas: The bag limit is one either-sex deer total per year, regardless of license type. If you take a deer in a hunter choice deer area, you cannot take another deer in another hunter choice or lot- 71 2011 MINNESOTA HUNTING REGULATIONS tery deer area. However, you can take deer in managed or intensive deer areas provided you adhere to the regulations and bag limits for those areas. Bonus permits are not valid in hunter choice deer areas. Managed deer areas: The bag limit for managed deer areas is two deer and hunters can use any combination of licenses and bonus permits to tag both deer. Intensive deer areas: Using any combination of licenses and permits, the bag limit for intensive deer areas is five deer. Landowner: One antlerIess deer in addition to the statewide bag limit of five. Special bovine TB area: Deer taken in this area must be registered in the area or in Wannaska prior to transport. The limit is 5 deer. II&' Chronic Wasting Disease area: There is no limit to the number of antlerIess deer that may be taken in this area. Special restrictions apply. See page 62 for information. Metro deer management area: There is no limit to the number of antlerIess deer that may be taken in this area. STATEWIDE ANTLERlESS DEER INFORMATION Deer areas are divided into four categories: 1) Lottery; 2) Hunter Choice; 3) Managed; and 4) Intensive. In lottery deer areas, hunters need to apply for either-sex permits. The deadline is September 8, 2011. In hunter choice, managed and intensive deer areas, applications are not necessary. In these areas, licenses are either-sex. Bonus permits for antlerless deer are available over the counter for use in managed and intensive areas. At the time of license purchase, all firearms hunters will need to indicate which deer area they primarily hunt. This information is being collected for survey purposes only. Firearms hunters may hunt bucks throughout the season where licensed or may hunt antlerless deer on their regular license in any managed or intensive deer area. For more information, see details in this section of the handbook and the color map and table on the back of the large deer season map (available separately). Lottery deer areas. ALL firearm and muzzleloader hunters age 18 and older must apply for an either-sex permit if they want to harvest an antler- less deer in a lottery deer area.

Hunters are not allowed to use or hunt over bait or feed or hunt in the vicinity of bait or feed if the hunter knows about or has reason to know about the placement of the bait or feed. · A person otherwise in compliance with this section who is hunting on private or public property that is adjacent to the property where bait or feed is present is not in violation if the person has not partic- 73 2011 MINNESOTA HUNTING REGULATIONS ipated in, been involved with, or agreed to baiting or feeding wildlife on the adjacent property. · An area is considered baited for 10 days after complete removal of the bait or feed. · Liquid scents, sprays, salt, and minerals, are not considered bait or feed. · Any attractant that contains grain or other food sources is consid- ered bait or feed. · This restriction does not apply to foods that have not been placed by an individual and result from normal or accepted farming, forest man- agement, wildlife food plantings, orchard management, or similar land management activities. Piling harvested pumpkins or other food from a food plot is one example of baiting. Elevated Stands · In Wildlife Management Areas and State Parks open to hunting, only portable stands may be used. Portable stand use is encouraged in State Forests (see page 109). · In Scientific and Natural Areas open to hunting, portable stands and elevated scaffold may be used if it is removed each day at the dose of shooting hours and does no damage to trees or other vegetation. Nails, spikes, screws or other devices that damage the bark of trees are prohibited. · See pages 99, 124, and 116 for information on wildlife management areas, county lands, and federal lands. · Any unoccupied, permanent stand or blind on public land is public and not the property of the person who constructed the stand. Any FOR YOUR INFORMATION Tree stand falls are the ~ding cause of injury to hunters. A 2007 study of more than 850 Minnesota hunters who use tree stands indicated that 60 percent know someone who was injured in a tree stand fall. In addition 84 percent of those who fell required medical attention. · Wear a safety harness when you are in a tree stand, and when climbing into or out of a tree stand. Inspect your harness for wear or damage before each use. · Use a haul Une to pull up your gear and unloaded firearm or bow to your tree stand. Never climb with anything in your hands or on your back. Before descending, lower your equipment on the opposite side of the tree. · Have thtee points of contact to the steps or ladder before moving. · Hunt with a plan, and if possible, a buddy. Let others know your exact hunt- ing location and when you plan to return. For more t1tee stand safety information, go to: mndnr.gov 74 DEER - GENERAL use of threat or force against another person to gain possession of a stand is unlawful. PARTY HUNTING · A "parry" is defined as any group of two or more licensed deer hunt- ers who are all afield; hunting together at the same time; and all using firearms (including muzzleloaders) or all using archery. · A mixed group of firearms and archery hunters is considered two separate parties. · Crossbow hunters may not party hunt with firearms hunters. · Crossbow hunters may party hunt with archery hunters if they possess an archery license with a crossbow disability permit. . Any member of a party meeting this definition may kill a deer for any other member of the party who has an unused tag valid for that deer. · Some restrictions apply to 300 series deer areas. See page 80. · Party members may not kill an antlerless deer in a lottery deer area for: 1) a member of the party who is a resident under age 18; or 2) a disabled person authorized to take antlerless deer under a permit to shoot from a motor vehicle.

", ...... ,<, REGISTRATION AND TRANSPORTATION Registration · Every deer taken must be registered and antlers must remain attached until the deer is registered. In all cases, the deer must be registered within 24 hours after the expiration of the season under which the deer was taken and before the deer is processed either privately or commercially. Except for the bovine TB and CWD areas, deer may be transported out of the area where taken without first being registered. There are three registration options: 1. Walk-in big game registration statiOfts. This process is unchanged from previous years. Registration stations display large, orange "Big Game Registration" signs. The person whose tag is on the deer must personally present the deer at an official registration station and receive a big game possession tag. The tag must be attached to the hind leg, ear, or antler where the site tag was attached. You can find a complete list of 75 ---- 2011 MINNESOTA HUNTING REGULATIONS all stations at any DNR wildlife office or on the DNR website. 2. Telephone. This is typically called Interactive Voice Response (IVR). The system will accept either key punch or voice (e.g., press or say 1). You will be asked to record a confirmation number so you must have a pen to complete the registration process. To register your deer using the IVR system, following the steps below. These steps are also printed on your deer license. a. Dial 1-888-706-6367 to get into the system b. Enter the Harvest Registration Number that appears on the license. It's a 9-digit number that links back to the person and license type. This is the large and bold number printed on your deer license and is NOT your MDNR number. c. Enter the 3-digit area where the deer was killed. The system will only accept valid deer permit areas. d. Enter the date the deer was killed. e. Enter the type of deer - adult male, adult female, fawn male, fawn female. f. The system will then give you a confirmation number that must be written on the license in the appropriate area. 3. Intemet. Go to mndnr.gov/hunting to register your deer. The ques- tions will be identical to phone registration. You will be given a con- firmation number, which must be recorded on the license. Specific information for telephone and internet deer registration · The site tagging regulations have not changed. Refer to page 70 for site tagging information. · When the system asks for deer type, please use the following infor- mation: o Adult male - male deer with antlers at least 3" long o Fawn male - this is a 6 month old male deer, more commonly known as a "button buck" and weigh less than 75 pounds dressed. o Adult female - this is an adult doe at least 18 months old. Typically, they have a longer nose and larger body (over 75 pounds dressed weight) than younger antlerless deer. o Fawn female - this is a 6 month old female deer. They typically have a short nose and weigh less than 75 pounds dressed. · A harvest registration number can only be used once. The system will not accept multiple registrations using the same number. · In the following areas, you must register your deer at a manda- tory walk-in registration station. In all cases, the deer must be presented for registration at a walk-in station. The phone 76 and internet registration system will not work in the following areas: o BovineTB area-l01, 105, 111,203,208,267,268. Hunter- harvested surveillance will be conducted in these areas. If sam- pling objectives are reached, they will be turned on for phone and internet registration during the season. o Chronic Wasting Disease area - 233, 293, 602. Hunter-harvest surveillance will be conducted in these areas for the duration of the season. o Antler Point Restriction area - 338,339,341,342, 343, 344, 345, 346, 347, 348, 349. CWD surveillance is also being con- ducted in deer areas 341 - 344; however, even if surveillance goals are met, you must still present the deer at a walk-in regis- tration station because of the antler point regulation. · Since the system will recognize the license type, it will only ask questions valid to that license. Here are a few examples: o Regular Firearms License - Will ask all 4 deer types but will not ask season because it's only valid during the firearm season. The same applies to muzzleloader, archery, lifetime, etc. o Bonus Permits - Will only ask 3 deer types (adult female, fawn male, fawn female) but will also ask season (archery, firearm, muzzleloader). o Disease Management Permit - Will not work at all since you have to register this deer in deer areas 101 or 602. Transportation · Except for the CWD area, a legally registered animal may be trans- ported any time during and after the deer hunting season. · The licensee must accompany the deer in transport except as follows: A deer that has been registered may be transported by another person, if the signature, address, and license number of the licensee and the origin and destination of the transport are written on the back of the possession tag, the site tag, or a seperate tag the licensee provides. · All deer in transport must be readily accessible for inspection by DNR conservation officers. · The head of a deer must remain attached to the carcass until the deer is registered. Skin and entrails may be removed before registration. Deer may be quartered before being registered, but the animal's head must remain attached to one of the quarters. · Whole deer, elk, caribou, or moose carcasses from other states or provinces may not be brought into Minnesota from areas known to have CWD in wild deer or elk (see page 60). 77 2011 MINNESOTA HUNTING REGULATIONS Rifle-Shotgun Boundary In the shotgun zone (see map on the back of the large, deer zone map, available separately), deer hunters may use only legal shotguns loaded with single-slug shotgun shells, legal muzzleloading long guns, or legal handguns. BOVINE TB AREA (DEER AREA 101) · A special deer area has been created around the bovine TB core area in northwestern Minnesota. The area is a consolidation of several deer areas and is represented as deer area 101. · The season dates are: > Statewide Archery: September 17 - December 31 > Youth: October 20 - 23 > Firearm: November 5 - 20 > Muzzleloader: November 26 - December 11 · During the firearm season, a license valid for any season option can be used in this area. · All deer taken in this area must be registered prior to transporting outside the area, except deer can be registered in Wannaska. · Special disease management anderless permits are available at ELS agents for the cost of issuance ($2.50). · Disease management anderless permits are valid in this area. · Hunters are strongly advised to obtain landowner permission prior to obtaining permits. METRO DEER MANAGEMENT AREAS (DEER AREA 601) · The metro deer area is comprised of deer area 601. · The intent of deer area 601 is to increase hunting opportunity around the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul area. The season has been imple- mented to help landowners and local governments control local deer populations. The area is comprised of nearly all private land and access is limited. Hunters interested in pursuing deer in this area are cautioned to acquire permission first. · The season dates are: > Archery: September 17 to December 31 > Youth: October 20 to 23 > Firearm: November 5 to November 27 > Muzzleloader: November 26 to December 11 · Any firearms or muzzleloader license is valid in this area. · At the time of license purchase, hunters should indicate the area they 78 DEER - fiREARMS typically hunt during the regular deer season. The license is auto- matically valid in the metro deer management area. · An unlimited number of bonus permits are available for use in this area. CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE AREA (DEER AREA 602) · The chronic wasting disease (CWD) management area is comprised of deer area 602. This is a new area created as a result of the discov- ery of a CWD-positive wild deer near Pine Island. · The season dates are: o Archery: September 17 to December 31 o Youth: October 20 to October 23 o Firearm: November 5 to November 27 o Muzzleloader: November 26 to December 11 · During the firearm season, a license valid for any season can be used in this area. · Specific information regarding deer registration and mandatory CWD surveillance can be found starting on page 64. · This area is almost entirely private land. Hunters are strongly encouraged to obtain landowner permission prior to hunting. SPECIAL REGULATIONS IN 300-SERIES DEER AREAS ONLY (338 - 349) Antler Point Restriction · A buck must have at least one 4-point antler in order to be legally har- vested. Bucks with less than one 4-point antler are not legal to harvest. Refer to page 85 for examples of a legal buck. · The regulation is in effect during the archery, 3A, 3B, and muzzleload- er seasons. · Adult hunters cannot tag a buck for a youth hunter. · Youth hunters aged 10-17 are exempted from this regulation. They do not have to comply and can take any antlered buck. The antler point restriction will protect approximately 75% of the year- ling buck population and very few of the 2.5 year old and older age classes. Given so many yearling bucks will be protected, there should be an increase of mature bucks in the population. Also, there should be a slight increase in the number of antlerless deer taken because some hunters will choose to harvest a doe (or fawn) instead. This is the second of a planned 3-year implementation. After the 2012 season, the regulations will be re-assessed using surveys and public meetings. 79 ___________n_n_____ _ 2011 MINNESOTA HUNTING REGULATIONS Buck Cross-Tagging in 300-Series Deer Areas (see page 75 for party hunting regulations in other areas) This is most commonly referred to as party hunting. The intent of this regulation is not to break up the hunting party or force hunters to leave the field once they are successful. This regulation simply requires the hunter to shoot and tag their own antlered buck. Specifically, · A person cannot take and tag an antlered buck for another member of their party. This applies to all hunters, license types, and seasons. · It remains legal to take and tag antlerless deer for members of the party. This is a population management strategy and may lead to slight increases in antlerless deer harvest. WilDLIFE FEEDING BANS · Feeding wildlife in portions of northwest Minnesota (including the modified accredited bovine TB zone) is restricted to minimize the risk of transmitting bovine TB. A map of the area is online at mndnr. gov/hunting/deerltb/index.html. Look for the Feeding Ban Map link. Violators of wildlife feeding restrictions may not obtain any hunting license for two years after the date of conviction. · Feeding wildlife in Dodge, Goodhue, Olmsted, and Wabasha coun- ties, including the CWD area, is restricted to minimize the risk of spreading or maintaining chronic wasting disease. A map can be found at mndnr.gov/cwd. BIG GAME REGISTRATION STATIONS Big game registration provides essential information for managing deer populations. Registration station owners in the state donate the use of their business and the time of their staff to help collect this information. Station operators are not required to inspect deer or verify regis- tration information. This is the hunter's responsibility. VENISON DONATION PROGRAM The venison donation program, established in 2007, will continue for this season. The program allows hunters to donate deer that they have shot for distribution to food shelves at no cost to the hunter. Funds to support the program come from non-resident hunting license fees, $1 on the bonus permits, and a $1, $3, or $5 donation from hunters at the time of deer license purchase. When you buy your deer license, the agent should ask if you want to contribute money to the venison donation pro- gram. Those funds are used to pay the cost of processing. When you drop off a deer there is minimal paperwork. To participate, you can drop off a deer at any of the participating processors. A list of eligible processors will 80 DEER - FIREARMS be posted and maintained on the DNR Web site. Please refer to DNR new releases and the Web site as information is updated throughout the year. The deer license donations and surcharges are being paid by hunt- ers for deer management, including assisting with the cost of processing deer donated for charitable purposes. The DNR is working with the Minnesota Departments of Health and Agriculture to minimize the risk of lead contamination in donated venison. Processors may reject deer car- casses with multiple wound channels. Hunters should also consider using non-lead ammunition if they are planning to donate deer to the program.

All hunters must ~ apply if they wish to participate in a special hunt. C Hunters with Disabilities: Either-Sex Deer Hunting - A disabled person with a permit to shoot from a motor vehicle may take a deer of either sex without an either-sex permit, except in youth-only anclerless areas. Special Hunt Permits · Special hunt permits are required to hunt deer in special permit areas where the number of hunters must be limited to control the harvest or for public safety. l&' · Special hunt permit areas for regular firearms hunters can be found on the DNR website at mndnr.gov/hunting/deerlindex.html · Those who receive a special hunt area permit may also hunt deer outside that special hunt area but only during the season indicated on the license. · You may apply for special hunt permit areas in parties of up to four hunters. See application instructions on page 83. 81 2011 MINNESOTA HUNTING REGULATIONS Selection and notification of successful applicants · If permit applications exceed quotas, computerized drawings will be used to determine who will be issued permits. · Drawings for special area permits are based on a preference system. Applicants for special area permits accumulate preference in the same manner as applicants for eitheNex permits. This system gives the highest preference to those who have applied the most times without receiving a permit. A person's preference is the same whether applying for an either-sex permit or a special area permit. · Preference is not affected if a person applies for an area different from the year before or if a person does not apply for one or more years. · The preference for special area applicants who apply as a group is based on the individual in the group with the lowest preference. · Only successful applicants will be notified. · Permits will be drawn and mailed in mid October. Information about the drawings and individual applications is not available until after this date. Applicants may check the DNR w ebsite (mndnr.gov) in mid October to view anderless permit lottery results. · If you submitted a valid application and are not notified, you can assume your application was not selected this year, and that your preference will increase if you apply in a future year. lOTTERY DEER AREAS All adult firearm and muzzleloader hunters must apply for an either- sex permit if they want to take an antlerless deer in a lottery deer area. The change was made to curtail the antIerless deer harvest that has been occurring in lottery deer areas by individuals who don't need an either- sex permit (disabled, youth, muzzleloader). In many cases, the number of deer taken by individuals who are not required to have a permit had exceeded the total number of either-sex permits authorized. All firearm and muzzleloader hunters must apply if they want to hunt antlerless deer. Hunters can apply using both their muzzleloader and firearm license. After the application period ends, the permits will be allocated in proportion to the license types in the lottery. For example, if 100 either-sex permits are allocated and 25% of the applicants are muzzleloader hunters then 25% of the permits will go towards the muzzleloader season. This has the benefit of having muzzleloader-only hunters compete with other muzzle- loader-only hunters. They will not compete with firearm hunters who likely have more preference points. ~ Successful applicants will receive a postcard in the mail authorizing them to take an either-sex deer using their regular license. The authorization will be valid for either the firearm or muzzleloader season; however, you must still have a valid license for that season. Specific instructions on how to apply for an either-sex permit are listed on page 83. 82 DEER - FIREARMS HOW TO APPLY FOR PERMITS Note: The drawings for all special hunt area permits are combined as pan of the either-sex permit preference system.

The questions will be related to the type of license you are purchasing and the deer area you are interested in hunting. You can apply individually or as a group of up to four people. Make sure you check the large map and/or the tables online to ensure you are apply- ing for the correct area. After completing the transaction, immediately check your receipt and deer license to make sure the agent entered your information correctly. This is the only time it can be changed. The number of deer hunters can kill in a lottery deer area is one, regard- less of license type or whether you were successful in both lotteries. All adult hunters who hunt a lottery deer area must apply for an either-sex permit by Thursday, Sept. 8,2011. Winners will be notified by mail and will receive an authorization to take a deer of either-sex in that lottery deer area. Bonus permits cannot be used in lottery areas. · Either-sex permits allow a person to take a deer of either sex within the specified lottery deer area. · Areas and permit quotas are shown on the large deer zone map, avail- able separately. · Either-sex permit holders may take antlerless deer only in the area speci- fied on the permit, but they may hunt deer anywhere during the season indicated on the license. 83 2011 MINNESOTA HUNTING REGULATIONS · Regular firearm - can take a buck or an either-sex deer if successful in the lottery. · Youth firearm and persons with a disability permit to shoot from a sta- tionary motor vehicle - can take an either-sex deer without applying in the lottery. · Muzzleloader - can take a buck or an either-sex deer if successful in the lottery.

When field judging a buck, if it has a small body and thin neck, it may be a yearling. · Bring binoculars and take the time to look at the antlers and count the points before you take a shot. · Wait for the deer to turn broadside, it will make it easier to count points. legal bucks The following bucks meet the minimum standards for harvest. Bucks with more points than shown in the illustrations are also legal to harvest. Registration Antlers must remain attached to the carcass until after the deer is registered. Hunts with a 3-point regulation Five point buck with three points on one side Six point bucks with three points on each side.

Fees from wild rice harvest and buyer licenses are deposited in a special account for wild rice management. SEASON DATES AND HOURS August 15 to September 30, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. The harvest of "green" (unripe) wild rice is unlawful. See page 98. RESTRICTED AREAS National Parks and National Wildlife Refuges are closed to wild rice harvesting, except when authorized by special permits. Harvest is allowed on state wildlife management areas, except where specifically closed by posting or rule. VEGETATION Destruction of wild rice plants by cutting, pulling, or removing is unlawful except when cut above the waterline and used for shooting or observation blinds. All aquatic vegetation must be removed from watercraft before leaving any body of water to prevent the spread of exotic vegetation such as purple loosestrife and Eurasian watermilfoil. (See box, page 95.) WATERCRAFT Watercraft used in harvesting wild rice may not exceed 18 feet in length or 36 inches in maximum width. Any extension that increases normal capacity is prohibited.

PENALTIES Any person violating any of the laws or rules pertaining to wild rice is subject to a fine up to $1000 and/or 90 days in jaiL INDIAN RESERVATION RESTRICTIONS (GENERAL) All native wild rice within the existing boundaries of the White Earth, Leech Lake, Bois Forte, Grand Portage, Fond du Lac, and Mille Lacs Indian Reservations is managed by the respective reservation wild rice committees. These committees establish the opening date, days, and hours of harvest no less than 24 hours prior to the opening. These regulations may be altered by the wild rice committees after the season has been announced by posting the major entrances to affected waters no less than 12 hours prior to the changes taking effect. It is unlawful for any person to take wild rice grain from any of the waters within the original boundaries at the White Earth, Leech Lake, Nett Lake, Vermilion Lake, Grand Portage, Fond du Lac and Mille Lacs reservations except for Native Americans or residents of the reservation upon which said wild rice grain is taken. SPECIAL lEECH LAKE INDIAN RESERVATION RESTRICTIONS In addition to the above regulations, all non-tribal members must have Leech Lake Reservation permits to harvest or buy wild rice within the boundaries of the Leech Lake Reservation. Forests for the future The Minnesota Forest Legacy Program has acquired public hunting rights and other public recreation opportunities on more than 325,000 acres of forest lands in Aitkin, Beltrami, Cass, Clearwater, Crow Wing, Koochiching, Lake, St. Louis, and Itasca counties. An additional 30,000 acres of forest conservation easements that will provide hunting and recre- ational access across northern Minnesota are pending. Hunting on Forest Legacy Conservation areas is allowed during the appropriate seasons and with the correct license. Other, non-Forest Legacy private properties adjoin these conservation areas, many of which are signed "no hunting." Hunting on private land within Minnesota is subject to state trespass laws. Motor- vehicle use on individual Forest Legacy Conservation areas may vary. Forest Legacy Area maps that provide appropriate motor-use and access restrictions are available online at: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/foresclegacy/hunting.html 97 --------- 2011 MINNESOTA HUNTING REGULATIONS FOR YOUR INFORMATION Wtld Rice Wtld Rice Plants are fragile. Don't bend the stalks straight down or break them while harvesting. Instead, bend the plants forward and away from your body. Use a light brushing or raking motion to tap loose the ripened seeds. Wild rice is not ready for harvest if you have to use much force to knock the seeds loose from the plant. Harvesting should not be attempted during rainy days because the moisture makes the seeds more difficult to tap loose from the stalk. Minnesota's wild rice harvesting season opens August 15 each year, although wild rice is not likely to be ripe enough to harvest at that time. The earliest that wild rice will generally mature is some- time after the third week in August. How soon depends on the individual stands and the weather. Rice is ready for harvest when the seeds fall easily from the plant. Attempting to harvest "green" or unripe rice damages the plant and is illegal. WIld rice is an important food plant for both people and wildlife. Low in fat but high in protein, fiber, B vitamins and minerals, wild rice is higher in overall nutritional value than white rice, oats, barley, wheat or rye. This aquatic member of the grass family is also an important part of the ecology of many Minnesota lakes and rivers. Sprou~m seeds each ,.... wild rice geueraIIy ......... the water s ce by mid June. The leaves lay flat on the surface until July when e plant begins to strengthen and grow erect. It is dur- ing the floating leaf stage that plants are particularly vulnerable to uprooting by rapidly increasing water-levels. Manmade water control structures, beaver dams, and other channel-dogging debris down- stream of wild rice areas are a threat to wild rice production. By August wild rice will reach 2 to 8 feet above the water and the seed heads will begin to fill out.
