CI. ANDOVER. MN. US TO: President and Commissioners Jim Dickinson, Executive Direc FROM: David L. Carlberg, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Consider Request by Pinnacle Engineering on behalf of Ryan Companies — Revised Wetland Mitigation Plan ( Outlots A &B, Andover Station North DATE: July 3, 2012 INTRODUCTION Pinnacle Engineering on behalf of Ryan Companies is requesting the Andover EDA approve the proposal to run additional storm water from the Andover Station North and adjacent properties to the pond/wetland mitigation site on Outlots A & B, Andover Station North owned by the EDA. See the attached letter. BACKGROUND When Andover Station (Target area) was developed by Ryan Companies in 2004, a wetland mitigation plan was created to address the filling of wetlands. The area selected as the mitigation or replacement site was Outlots A & B, Andover Station North. Storm water from the properties in the area was to be diverted to the pond /mitigation area to achieve the wetland mitigation goals. However due to the lack of development in the area there currently is not enough water being added to the mitigation site. Therefore, the request is being made to divert additional storm water which normally would be retained and infiltrated on site as required by the Coon Creek Watershed District (CCWD). The CCWD is supportive of the request. Please note that the additional storm water will not affect the ability for future development of Andover Station North from discharging to the pond/mitigation basin. ACTION Approve the request as presented. Respectfully submitted, David L. Carlberg Pinnacle r Engineering June 25, 2012 Mr. David Berkowitz City of Andover 1685 Crosstown Blvd. NW Andover, MN 55304 Owning Challenges. Innovative Solutions. Winning Trust. RE: Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Andover Station Andover, Minnesota Pinnacle Project No.: R012161.000 Dear Mr. Berkowitz, The Andover Station North project consists of wetland mitigation areas for impacted wetlands. that occurred at Andover Station during project construction activities within the City of Andover (Andover) and the Coon Creek Watershed District (CCWD) during 2004. The Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) permit administered and approved by the CCWD (File No. 2- 1-03-92) and Andover called for 5.60 acres of replacement wetlands to mitigate the wetland impacts. However, due to the lack of development area that was anticipated to supply hydrology to the mitigation areas, drought conditions of the past few years, and a drop in the groundwater elevations, the mitigation areas are approximately 3.11 acres below the required 5.60 acres. An additional constraint on the hydration of mitigation areas is the CCWD's requirement of new developments to infiltrate a 1 -inch rainfall event, thereby deducting this runoff from the anticipated runoff hydrology to the mitigation areas. This development condition would decrease the much needed runoff into mitigation areas from any anticipated adjacent and surrounding area development. In order to achieve the goals approved in the mitigation plan, . Pinnacle Engineering, Inc. (Pinnacle) on behalf of Ryan Companies, US Inc. (Ryan) formally requests that the CCWD's rule of infiltration of the first 1 -inch of precipitation of any development adjacent to within the surrounding area of the Andover North Station mitigation areas be waived. Additionally, Pinnacle and Ryan request that runoff from any development be routed into the mitigation areas, when possible, for as long as the original wetland mitigation design is not adversely affected and no adverse impacts effect the hydraulically connected Department of Natural Resources (DNR) protected Public Water Wetland No. 2 -616W. If possible the waiver Minneapolis: 1154195th Ave. North, Minneapolis, MN 55369 800 -366 -3406 •763- 315 -4501 • fax: 763 - 315- 4507�� 1 Minneapolis, MN • Rochester, MN • Omaha, NE www.pineng.com •info @pineng.com - -. -- Mr. David Berkowitz Pinnacle Project Number: R012161.000 June 25, 2012 Page 2 and routing would apply until the mitigation area meets the anticipated design goals and are certified by the CCWD as having met the WCA permit required mitigation. Routing runoff from any new developments would add hydration to the mitigation areas, increasing the acreage needs to meet the mitigation goals of the approved WCA permit and enhancing the natural resources of the area by aiding the success of the mitigation. Due to the natural groundwater flow of the area and interaction between the mitigation areas and groundwater, the water routed through the mitigation areas will enter the DNR protected wetland. An additional benefit of routed water going through initial stormwater treatment, into the mitigation area, and eventually into the DNR protected wetland is the water will have received additional treatment prior to entering the DNR protected wetland. If you have any questions or wish to discuss any particular aspect of the project, please contact us at (763) 315 -4501. We look forward to the City's decision. Sincerely, PINNACLE ENGINEERING, INC.

Staff has updated the city's website to include and economic development department to provide prospective businesses easier access to available commercial /industrial properties as most parties interested look for an economic development section of a city's website if they are inquiring about available properties/buildings. Staff has received positive feedback on the information provided and ease of access to the information. Potential Restaurants — Staff continues to submit demographic information to potential restaurants as leads become available. Staff continually reviews various businesses journals looking for restaurants, retailers and other companies who are expanding their operations.

Redevelopment Sites —Staff is monitoring the area for potential acquisitions as they become available. EDA provided additional direction at the May 1St meeting directing staff to aggressively pursue parcels in the area. The four plex at 2600 138 Avenue NW has been demolished and site restoration has occurred.

Carlberg, Community De o ent Director SUBJECT: Bunker /Crosstown Redevelopment Area Discussion Le DATE: July 3, 2012 INTRODUCTION The EDA is requested to receive an update from staff on the redevelopment of the Bunker Lake Boulevard/Crosstown area. DISCUSSION As directed by the EDA, staff has been contacting property owners in the Bunker Lake Boulevard/Crosstown area. More specifically, the area to the east of Crosstown Drive, north of Bunker Lake Boulevard and south of 138 Avenue NW. Staff has received an array of responses to the owner's interest in selling their properties. Some of indicated that they are turning a profit and doing well and others who purchase when the market was inflated are struggling to make ends meet. There are also those who realize that they must make an investment in their property in the near term in order to achieve a rental license from the City. The demolishing of the four -plex at 2600 138 Avenue NW by the City has also sent a message to the neighborhood of the City's interest in redeveloping the area, based on phone calls received inquiring on what the City intends to do with the property they purchase. ACTION REQUESTED The EDA is requested to continue discussions on the redevelopment of this area. Respectfully submitted, David L. Carlberg
