Commander Halweg reviewed the nature of the arrests that had taken in the previous month Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes – December 15, 2015 Page 3 along with other significant incidents including a head-on crash that resulted in a fatality, still under investigation. As a result of a traffic stop, marijuana was discovered in the vehicle with some residue of methamphetamine. The driver was charged with felony third-degree possession of a controlled substance. In a separate incident, a significant amount of methamphetamine along with a large amount of cash was discovered during a routine traffic stop. The driver was arrested and booked on first degree possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. Mayor Trude thanked Commander Halweg for helping to get a drug dealer off the streets. Commander Halweg reminded residents to line up drivers ahead of time when attending holiday parties, expressing that he does not want anyone to spend time behind bars because they did not make arrangements ahead of time for a sober driver. He also encouraged residents not to leave gifts visible in the car while shopping and to prevent fire tragedies by not leaving Christmas tree lights on at night and keeping trees watered. Mayor Trude noted the concerns that had been raised about the traffic speeds on 7th Avenue and that a traffic study is being done there. She also thanked Commander Halweg for the work that is being done by the officers to keep the community safe during a time of year that can be especially challenging. HOLD PUBLIC HEARING/ORDER PLANS & SPECS/16-11/173RD LANE NW RECONSTRUCTION Mr. Berkowitz explained that 173rd Lane NW between Tulip Street NW and Round Lake Boulevard NW is identified in the City’s 2016-2020 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for reconstruction in the summer of 2016. This section of roadway was originally paved in 1982. A neighborhood informational meeting was held on November 2, 2015 with the affected residents. The estimated assessment per unit (25) is $2,200. Estimated project costs are $246,120 and completion scheduled for some time in July. Assessments can be paid with no interest within one month after the assessment hearing in October or payments can be certified to a homeowner’s taxes and paid in the amount of $333.54 for the years 2017 – 2024. The assessment can always be paid off early, but the current year’s interest will need to be paid. Mr. Berkowitz reviewed the staff report with Council. Councilmember Holthus inquired if the roadway is wide enough for a bike path. Mr. Berkowitz stated that it is not wide enough in this case for a pedestrian lane, as the road is a standard 32 foot wide so the edges would not be shoulder striped. There would be a center line painted and there would be no parking allowed on the street. Motion by Knight, Seconded by Holthus, to open the public hearing at 7:20 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Trude stated that there had been a petition and comment letters received from residents Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes – December 15, 2015 Page 4 that are part of the Council’s meeting packet. Mark Kalbow, 3250-173rd Lane thanked the Mayor for the opportunity for the residents to come and express opinions. He stated that there is concern about the estimate for the work/assessment, acknowledging that it was based on estimates and not a firm bid at this point. Mayor Trude asked the City Engineer to explain the process and what happens if the bid comes in higher. Mr. Berkowitz explained the bidding process by stating that first a feasibility report is prepared to estimate bid costs, based on last year’s projects. Fortunately oil prices are currently low and so bituminous costs are low too. He continued by stating that he believes that they have estimated somewhat high. If actual project bids come in higher, then there is a reevaluation of whether or not to go forward with the project and that is brought to the City Council. Often bids come in lower than estimated. Mayor Trude was encouraged to see the lower estimated cost per parcel as compared to previous projects being significantly higher. Mr. Kalbow indicated that the biggest grievance by the people living on the street is that they feel it is not really a residential street. The street was put in 33 years ago, not at the request of the residents. Previously it had been a dirt road but when the neighborhood was built up by the river, there was a need for a way to get to County Road 9/Round Lake Boulevard. The street was selected as the through street, with residents “donating” 10 feet of lot frontage and the City indicating it would construct the street and maintain it. The residents being assessed feel like that agreement is being reneged upon. He concluded by saying that the street is in need of repair and that the current poor condition of the street slows down traffic. Mayor Trude acknowledged that the Council had a chance to read the resident’s letter of petition and wanted to give residents an opportunity to talk with the Council personally. Mr. Kalbow continued by saying that he believes that 90% of the wear and tear is done by people who do not live on that street, making the assessment unfair. He stated further that the street was not built for the large trucks that now utilize that street. Traffic has continued to increase and speeds are exceeded, in contrast to when the road was a dirt road. Mr. Kalbow said it is now unsafe for his grandchildren to play in the front yard near such a busy street. He feels that the street turned out to be more of a menace than a privilege and that it devaluates the property of the neighborhood. He stated that he did not have a suggestion for how to divide the assessment fairly. Mayor Trude commented that all of the City’s taxpayers would be paying 75% of the costs to repair the street. In neighboring cities, homeowners are typically charged 40 – 50% so that everyone in the City supports the quality of roads and eventually each of us over a 25 year period will have to “chip in” and contribute to the street in front of our own homes. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes – December 15, 2015 Page 5 Mr. Kalbow said that if he lived on a residential street he would agree, but he feels like their street is more like a county road or highway and pointed out that they are unable to park on their street making it different than living on a typical residential street. Mayor Trude stated that traffic counts had been obtained and that 173rd Lane NW currently had traffic counts of under 1,000 and had similar levels per day in 2010 and that county roads are at close to 10,000 counts a day. The City helped underwrite assessments for a neighborhood in our community that had counts of 8,500 a day with a slight percentage reduction. She concluded by saying the City would seldom change its assessment policy. Mr. Kalbow continued by explaining that there are numerous emergency vehicles using their street and urged the Council to reduce the assessment percentage. Mayor Trude stated that she appreciated the citizenship of Mr. Kalbow and the residents in attendance at the meeting. Kyle Crone, of 3400 173rd Lane NW, expressed his concern that traffic counts were previously stated to be double what the Mayor had shared. Mr. Berkowitz clarified that there were road counts of 860 in 2010 and 970 in 2014 on 173rd Lane NW. Mr. Crone said that putting up the speed limit electronic monitoring sign did slow people down. Councilmember Knight asked for confirmation on the current traffic counts. Mr. Berkowitz said that the counts went up 140 cars per day from 2010 – 2014. Caroline Holmes of 3308 173rd Lane NW stated that she wanted to draw attention to the need for sidewalks. She has children ages 8, 10 and 13 and they have almost been hit crossing the street just to get to the park across the street where it is safer and quieter. She reiterated that the street is fast and busy and that she would request that there be white lines painted on the side, if possible, for pedestrians. She would like the neighborhood to be a safe place for younger families moving into the community and stressed the importance of residents following the traffic laws. Mr. Berkowitz replied that the striping can be looked into further, even if it would only be two feet from the side as it tends to slow people down because of the narrowing of the roadway. Motion by Holthus, Seconded by Goodrich, to close the public hearing at 7:39 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. Councilmember Holthus inquired about 168th Lane, the connector between Round Lake Boulevard and Verdin Street. She asked Mr. Berkowitz if the reconstruction on that street was Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes – December 15, 2015 Page 6 billed at the 25% rate to the residents of 168th Lane. Mr. Berkowitz indicated that that road had not yet been rebuilt, but is on the list. According to the city policy it would be billed to the residents of 168th Lane, the same as this project. Commander Halweg explained that the Sherriff’s Department had done an independent survey on speeds in the area in late November. The equipment was out for two weeks and they saw traffic counts of about 800 a day with more east bound than west bound traffic. Speeds averaged 38 m.p.h. in a 30 m.p.h. zone and 6% of vehicles were driving over 40 m.p.h. There has also been some extra patrolling done out in the area. Councilmember Goodrich stated that the speed tubes could be brought out to the neighborhood again if that is helpful. Mayor Trude reiterated that there were comments from the audience about the positive effectiveness of the speed sign and that residents are seeing general compliance in speeds. Commander Halweg agreed that 30 m.p.h. seems fast in a residential area, but that is the State Statute. In the recent survey a great majority of vehicles were driving 35 m.p.h. and under. Mr. Berkowitz stated that when requests come in to monitor speed, the City can put out speed tubes as can the Sherriff’s Department. Mr. Berkowitz stated that he felt that there was a misconception about the right-of-way as the City always had the right-of-away when it changed the street from a 24 foot dirt road to a 32 foot paved road and that City records show there was no charge/assessment to residents for the construction of the road at that time. Councilmember Bukkila stated that the traditional method is for residents to pay the entire assessment for a new road, rather than just a percentage. Mr. Berkowitz stated that at the time it was a $130,000 project and would have been divided by the 24 lots. The curb is still in good shape even at 33 years old, so that will reduce some of the reconstruction costs. Mayor Trude recalled at one time, there were residents that came in to City Hall to talk about their assessment and there were some “tweaks” made in the policy at that time; however, that street was ultimately connected to Highway 65 and had traffic counts of over 2,000 a day. On County roads the City does not place an assessment because the County does not assess and the City generally does not have involvement. The current policy was amended about 5 years ago. She continued by saying that the only way the assessment would change would be if three Councilmembers were convinced of a need for a change in the policy and then taxes likely would need to be raised for everyone to cover the additional costs. There are many streets in Andover with 800 counts per day. Although Mayor Trude acknowledged that the neighborhood has a Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes – December 15, 2015 Page 7 little more consistent traffic rather than primarily during the morning and afternoon commute, she stated she is not comfortable changing the policy. Councilmember Bukkila said there is nothing easy about assessments. The City got to a point that it chose a percentage [25%] of the amount of property that someone owns as the determinate. She continued by saying that this was simply the first step in the process and was limited to approving plans and specs so that the staff could get a realistic bid. Once the bids are back there will be an evaluation. She also clarified that the City is only billed on the actual materials used for the project and that there are points in the process where the proposed assessment amount could hopefully go down. Mayor Trude thanked Councilmember Bukkila for the overview. She stressed the importance of getting into the marketplace early for bids because a better price can be secured. She said that more conversations could take place but that it would take a lot of convincing to change the fairness part of the city policy. Councilmember Knight reiterated that the oil market is going down so it could be a big factor in the final cost. Councilmember Goodrich wanted to echo what others had said about not setting a precedent by changing the percentage and that costs would be looked at as the process continues and thanked the residents for being in attendance at the meeting. Mayor Trude thanked the residents for their due diligence in counting driveways and lots and clarifying that there were 25 instead of 24, which in itself reduced the assessment. Motion by Bukkila, Seconded by Knight, to approve Resolution R108-15, 173rd Lane NW reconstruction. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Berkowitz clarified the next steps in the project. Once bids come back if they are less than 5% over the contract is awarded and construction would start in mid to late May. The formal assessment hearing would be in October. Mayor Trude thanked the residents for their participation. CONSIDER REZONING – M-2, MULTIPLE DWELLING TO NB, NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS – 2604 138TH AVENUE NW – CITY OF ANDOVER Mr. Carlberg stated the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing at their December 8, 2015 meeting and are recommending approval of the rezoning request. The City of Andover is the applicant. Mr. Carlberg reviewed the staff report with the Council. Mayor Trude stated that she is glad to see the old gas station being replaced with a nice new Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes – December 15, 2015 Page 8 building. Mayor Trude highlighted that this action requires an ordinance amendment. Motion by Goodrich, Seconded by Bukkila, to unanimously approve Ordinance 455, rezoning land from M-2, Multiple Dwelling to NB, Neighborhood Business. Motion carried unanimously. CONSIDER CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT – RETAIL TRADE AND SERVICE IN AN INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT – 13650 HANSON BOULEVARD NW – JOHN BELL, KLODT, INC. Mayor Trude noted that the applicant was in the audience. Mr. Carlberg stated that the applicant, John Bell, of Klodt, Inc, is requesting a conditional use permit to allow for retail trade and service at 13650 Hanson Boulevard NW. City Code 12 -12 requires a conditional use permit for retail and service in the Industrial Zoning District. Mr. Carlberg reviewed the staff report with the Council and noted that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval. He also requested that the Council allow him to review the overall plan for the site and then move through the related motions. Mr. Carlberg highlighted some of the concerns that were brought forward at the previous week’s Planning and Zoning Commission meeting including concerns regarding traffic flow, access points and parking. He stated that the plan actually has good access for being on a county road. Mr. Carlberg clarified that the final building and site design will go through the regular staff review process and would not go to the Council, and it is not part of the motion being considered at this meeting. Mayor Trude inquired whether the County would ever give back/vacate the excess right-of-way. Mr. Carlberg responded that rarely ever happens. Mr. Carlberg said that precedence for the set backs was set with the Kwik Trip property. Mayor Trude asked if the requirements had been met for the variance and if the purpose of the setback had been met, which is a safety zone and green space. Mr. Carlberg said that staff does believe that there is justification for the variance and that there are practical difficulties at this site including location, and excessive right-of-way, that has an impact on how that site can develop, which came about due to patterns of development in older areas. Mayor Trude commented that it is more common to need variances in older areas to keep the property usable. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes – December 15, 2015 Page 9 Motion by Bukkila, Seconded by Goodrich, to approve Resolution R109-15, granting a conditional use permit to John Bell, Klodt, Inc. for retail trade and services to be allowed at 13650 Hanson Boulevard NW, amending to include two conditions: 1) that the applicant shall complete the commercial site plan review process with the City; and, 2) subject to a sunset clause as stipulated in City Code 12-14-6D. Motion carried unanimously. CONSIDER CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT – BUSINESS WITH A DRIVE-THRU 13650 HANSON BOULEVARD NW – JOHN BELL, KLODT, INC. Motion by Bukkila, Seconded by Knight, to approve Resolution R110-15, granting a conditional use permit to John Bell, Klodt, Inc. for a business with a drive-thru window located at 13650 Hanson Boulevard NW, amending to include two conditions: 1) that the applicant shall complete the commercial site plan review process with the City; and, 2) subject to a sunset clause as stipulated in City Code 12-14-6D. Motion carried unanimously. CONSIDER VARIANCE – PARKING SETBACK - 13650 HANSON BOULEVARD NW – JOHN BELL, KLODT, INC. Mayor Trude indicated that the resolution needed to be updated and that she wanted historical documentation included in the record. She indicated that the applicant had noted several practical difficulties in their letter and that this is to be noted in the record, in case there is a similar situation in the future, e.g. excessive easements. Motion by Bukkila, Seconded by Holthus, to approve Resolution R111-15, granting a variance for the property located at 13650 Hanson Boulevard NW, amended as follows, after the 6th whereas that states, “the subject property has public streets adjacent to three sides of the property which increases the required setbacks and further reduces the developable area of this site.” Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Trude expressed her excitement over the ability of the developer to move forward with securing leases now that the construction is able to move forward. Councilmember Knight asked whether there would be a franchised restaurant in the new facility. Jeff Hagen, working in association with Klodt Inc. indicated that there are plans for a sit-down restaurant. He thanked the Council and the Mayor for the opportunity to be present at the meeting and for the great experience they have had working in the City, with Councilmembers, and with City staff. He stated that they have listened to concerns expressed as they have been attending meetings. Mayor Trude commented that local business owners have done well and that the City has 10,000 plus rooftops. Councilmember Knight said that there have been frequent requests from residents for good restaurants. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes – December 15, 2015 Page 10 Mayor Trude pledged that that City be attentive during construction, so that construction could keep moving forward. CONSIDER 2016 CDBG APPLICATION Mr. Carlberg requested the Council approve submission of a CDBG grant application to Anoka County to fund a municipal water main feasibility planning study directed toward urban residential areas that are served by municipal sewer and have individual wells rather than municipal water. These areas were developed 40 years ago. The recommended grant request would be in the amount of $50,000. The same grant was also applied for in 2015. The Council discussed the proposed application. Mayor Trude inquired as to whether it is best to do a larger study and have that work completed so that the information would be ready when projects arise. Mr. Carlberg indicated that doing a larger study is preferred. Councilmember Holthus asked what the city’s contribution would be. Mr. Carlberg stated that no city match would be required but if the study was over $50,000 the city would need to cover that cost. Motion by Knight, Seconded by Bukkila, to direct staff to prepare an application for 2016 CDBG funds. Motion carried unanimously. CONSIDER CLOSING CITY OFFICES EARLY ON CHRISTMAS EVE Mr. Dickinson asked if the Council would like to close the City Offices at noon on Christmas Eve. Due to Christmas Day being on a Friday many staff take off both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The limited staff remaining would work on projects but not with the public. Staff taking time off must utilize vacation time accrued or comp time. Councilmember Bukkila stated she is not in favor of the closing. Mr. Dickinson said that he was indifferent about the matter. Plans will be made for staffing no matter what the Council decides. Department heads will work with staff to make sure that there is productive work available for those who plan to work that day. He said that the greatest effect would be serving the public at the customer service windows; however, traffic is always sparse. Councilmember Goodrich wondered if the Council needed to make it official, if staff is taking their PTO. Councilmember Bukkila said she would leave the determination to administration. Councilmember Goodrich asked if it would be setting precedence. Mr. Dickinson did not Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes – December 15, 2015 Page 11 believe it would be setting precedence and that holiday policies are laid out in the employee handbook. Councilmember Knight asked if there was a supervision issue. Mr. Dickinson confirmed that supervision rotates among the department heads for these types of days. Mayor Trude indicated that the City Offices would officially be closed next year on Christmas Eve, as it will follow the Union contract, and the Christmas Eve holiday was included in the Union negotiation. Motion by Mayor Trude, Seconded by Holthus, to close the City Offices at noon on December 24, 2015 at no cost to the City. Motion carried 3 ayes, 2 nays (Bukkila and Goodrich). SCHEDULE ADVISORY COMMISSION INTERVIEWS Mr. Dickinson requested the Council schedule Advisory Commission interviews. The Council discussed the number of applicants for each commission and available dates. Motion by Knight, Seconded by Bukkila, to schedule Commission interviews on January 19, 2016, from 5:45 – 6:45 p.m. and January 21, 2016, from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. SCHEDULE WORKSHOP MEETING Motion by Bukkila, Seconded by Goodrich, to schedule a Council Workshop meeting on January 26, 2016, at 6:00 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT City Staff updated the Council on the administration and city department activities, on development/CIP projects and meeting reminders. (Land Sale) Mr. Dickinson noted there was a closing on a 10 acre land sale with SW Land. (Permits) Mr. Dickinson stated that 13% of the building department permits are now handled on line and the City is getting positive feedback. (Ribbon Cutting) Mr. Carlberg said that at 2 p.m. and 2:10 p.m. on December 18, 2015, the Anoka Chamber of Commerce is hosting a ribbon cutting for Essentials of Life Chiropractic and Premier Bank at 1777 Bunker Lake Boulevard. (Special Election – Absentee Ballots) The primary is on January 12, 2016, and the actual election is on February 9, 2016. Absentee ballots may be cast beginning Friday, December 18, 2015, through Monday, January 11, 2016; however the ballots may not arrive from the printer by Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes – December 15, 2015 Page 12 December 18th. Residents should call ahead of time to make sure that the ballots have arrived. Delivery is guaranteed by the printer on December 21st. Residents can also come into City Hall fill out an absentee ballot request and have it mailed to their home. MAYOR/COUNCIL INPUT Mayor Trude thanked staff for the wonderful year and expressed enjoyment in working with the new Council and her appreciation for how well the staff and Council worked together. She also thanked families for giving up their family members on Tuesday nights. The Mayor wished the staff, Councilmembers and residents happy holidays. Councilmember Goodrich said that he had enjoyed his first year on the Council and appreciated working with the fine staff and looked forward to working together again in 2016. Councilmember Knight echoed the great job that staff is doing. Councilmember Bukkila asked about a matching donation with the firefighters for Hope for Youth acknowledging that it was too late to make a request for 2015. Mayor Trude said that they could apply for charitable gambling in 2016 and that staff could look at it. Mr. Dickinson said the group could also get “in the mix” for a donation in 2017 as that will be covered during the budget development process. Mayor Trude asked Councilmembers to decide if they want to continue their current Council Committees by the time of the first meeting in January. She also thanked Sue Osbeck for her service in capturing the minutes for all of the city’s meetings over the years and for keeping the city’s history. Councilmember Holthus commented on the nice open house held for the community last week by Premier Bank. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Holthus, Seconded by Goodrich, to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously.
