MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
Student Project
#. ~ Dorfman and Rich Hill, Shorewood students, presented a
. petition supporting enforcement of the Shorewood Dog Control
Ordinance. They suggested ways to improve the controlling
and enforcement of the Ordinance by submitting complaint
forms and a warning letter to be sent to owners of problem
dogs. They also showed how added patrol services would not
be a heavy cost burden on the residents. The Council
thanked them for the suggestions and effort involved in their
project and presentation.
Shady Island Bridge Problem
Mr. William Bohnhoff of 4925 Shady Island Road was present
to ask help from the Ci ty to enforce the "No Fishing" and
"No Parking" signs by the Shady Island Bridge. He would like
this patrolled more heavily. There is also a junk and
dumping problem caused by the violators that Mr. Bohnhoff
is continually cleaning up after. The City will try to keep
the dumping barrel empty and requested the Police Department
to increase patrolling and ticketing violators.

Shady Island Bridge Problem
Mr. Bohnoff also informed the Council of the poor trimming
and cutting of trees by the Cable Company installing the
Cable lines on the islands. Haugen did contact the Cable

C.U.P. - OUR SAVIOURS LUTHERAN CHURCH
RESOLUTION #32-84
A request was presented by Larry Cain and George Stodola to
operate a religious elementary school, grades Kindergarten
through 2nd grade in their church facility, at 23310 State Highway
7. Council questioned any changes to the building and future
plans to expand the Christian School to house grades through 8th

3RD STREET AND CLARA AVENUE (PORTION) VACATION REQUEST
A request for vacation, from adjoining property owners of 3rd
Street and portions of Clara Avenue,was reviewed. Mr. Mitchell,
Mr. Zaun, Mr. Russel and Mr. Soner were present to explain their
request for vacation of these platted roads. Due to ex~ting
locations of some of these houses, vacation of these roads would
ensure protection of privacy for these people. Their request
would not cause the 'I land locking" of any property not presently
owned by the petitioners.
Council discussed the request and felt that the vacation of 3rd
Street north of Birch Bluff Road to Lake Minnetonka should not
be discarded with this request but should be handled at the time
policy is set dealing with all the road right-of-ways extending
to the lake. Mr. Soner and Mr. Russell agreed to withdraw their
request from this petition. After further discussion in reference
to 'I setting precedence" Shaw moved, seconded by Haugen to set a
public hearing subject to fee paid, requesting road vacations.
Mr. Mitchell asked for an informal opinion from the Council.
Their present feeling was unfavorable toward vacation. Shaw
motioned, second accepted by Haugen to withdraw motion. Mr.
Mitchell asked the Council what was necessary for him to do to
improve the current existing driveway on 3rd Street. Council
directed him to make the request and fill out necessary forms
with the City Staff.

RE: TRIVESCO - PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
AND PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (CONCEPT STAGE)
FILE NO.: 405 (84.05)
BACKGROUND
Trivesco, Inc. has submitted plans for development of approximately
107 acres of land located between State Highway 7 and Covington Road,
west of Vine Hill Road (see Site Location map, Exhibit A, attached).
The proposal can be summarized as 9 acres of commercial development
along Highway 7; 160 multiple family residential units on 21.8 acres
south of the commercial area; and 91 single family residential units
on the remaining 63.6 acres to the south. All of this would be served
by a new collector street and a new intersection on Highway 7. A
detailed explanation of the proposal and additional background infor-
mation are contained in Trivesco's P.U.D. booklet dated May, 1984.
Shorewood's Comprehensive Plan designates the land use for the area
in question as low density residential (1 - 2 units per acre). Since
the developer proposes commercial development on the northerly portion
of the site and a higher density than specified in the Comprehensive
Plan, the project requires an amendment to the Plan. The new collector
street and its intersection with Highway 7 also require an amendment
to the transportation element of the Comprehensive Plan.
The developer proposes to implement the proposal through Planned Unit
Development (P.U.D.) zoning. In this regard he has asked that the
Concept Stage of the P.U.D. process be reviewed simultaneously with the
Comprehensive Plan amendment.

,"
Shorewood's Comprehensive Plan amendment guidelines and the P.U.D.
process provide criteria and procedures for the review of development
proposals. To date the developer has met with City staff and made an
informal presentation to both the Planning Commission and City Council.
At the suggestion of the City, the developer has met with potentially
affected neighborhood groups to familia rize them with the proposal and
hear their concerns. A public hearing has been scheduled for the
Planning Commission meeting on 1 May 1984 to discuss both the
Comprehensive Plan amendment and the Concept Stage of the P.U.D. process.
.I
r
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
It is suggested that the Trivesco proposal be evaluated using the
decision-making process established in the Comprehensive Plan. In
this regard the proposal can be broken down into the various basic
elements of land use, environment, transportation, public utilities and
parks and open space.
Land Use.
Although the Proposed Land Use map designates the property in question
as low-density residential (1 - 2 units per acre), the Area Plan for
Planning District 13 states:
"While the overall residential density of the District has been
proposed as one to two units per acre, the City recognizes that
property adjacent to Highway 7 may not be appropriate for such use.
In this regard, a somewhat higher density residential use (e.g. offices
or other low traffic -generating commercial uses) may be considered
acceptable for development of the Highway 7 "corridor". Some sort of
planned unit development may be the best means of creating a desirable
transition from Highway 7 southward into lower density residential
development in the interior of the District. Wetlands and natural
areas could be preserved by clustering residential units."
When evaluating a change in land use, the City must consider its
relationship to surrounding land use, environmental impact, and the
capacity of supporting facilities, i.e. roads, utilities and recreational
facilities. The Shorewood Comprehensive Plan contains guidelines to
assist in the decision-making process. The Policy Plan chapter of
Report No.4 - Policy Plan/Development Framework, dated September 1981,
contains policies relative to all aspects of development. It is
suggested that these policies be reviewed in conjunction with the
review of the Trivesco porposal. The policies established in that
chapter are combined with general planning principles in the Planning
and Design Concepts chapter of the Policy Plan/Development Framework.
As proposed, the Trivesco development concept is considered to be quite
consistent with the policies and concepts set forth in the Comprehensive
Plan. The arrangment of proposed land uses presents an excellent
transition from Highway 7 to low density residential areas to the
e

south and southwest. Even though the multiple family area is adjacent
to the existing Shady Hills neighborhood, the two areas are separated
by topography and an open space buffer along the east side of the
Trivesco project. This buffer could be enhanced, if necessary, through
landscaping.
From an environmental standpoint the concept plan takes advantage of
the poor soils and proximity to Highway 7 for its higher intensity areas.
As mentioned in their ?U.D. booklet, the more intensive uses can better
support the developmentr~osts of overcoming the soil problems. Large
lot single family residential on the southern portions of the site
take advantage of the dramatic changes in topography and vegetation.
Done properly, the development results in minimal site alteration.
Aside from the commercial area along Highway 7, the density for the
multiple-family portion of the project is 6.75 units per acre. The
single-family portion of the site contains 1.3 units per acre. Although
the development concept is considered consistent with the Shorewood
Comprehensive Plan and good planning principles in general, there will
undoubtedly be questions relative to the proposed commercial development
and the specifics of density. In this regard it is fairly easy to make
subjective decisions based on emotions, personal preferences and
political pressures. While these things will never be eliminated, it
is hoped that the City will consider more objective criteria, specifically
the capacity of supportive facilities to accommodate the development.
The acceptability of the commercial development and the proposed multiple-
family density depends upon the resolution of two major issues, 1) access
to Highway 7, and 2) water. Both of these will be discussed in greate~
detail, particularly access to the highway, in subsequent sections of
this report. For purposes of this section suffice it to say that if
these issues can be resolved, the objective criteria of acceptability
will have been satisfied.
Proposed Zoning.
Consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the developer has proposed to
develop the project through planned unit development zoning. As mentioned
at the informal presentation of the proposal, the developer provides
the City with a tremendous advantage by having assembled three large
parcels of land. This allows the City to more easily address and plan
for the provision of the new intersection and proposed collector street
and possibly the provision of water. In the event the project is not
carried out as approved, P.U.D. zoning provides the City with greater
control than conventional zoning. In such a case the property reverts
back to its original zoning.
The developer's control of the three parcels also provides him with
assurance as to how the multiple-family and commercial areas will be
developed. Presumably he would not build anything that would adversely
affect his own single-family lots.
e

Transportation.
One of the major advantages of the developer having control of the three
parcels is that the circulation pattern for the area can be done most
effectively and efficiently. The most significant elements of the proposed
road system are a new intersection on Highway 7 at the northwest corner
of the site and a new collector street extending from Highway 7.
The Planning Commission will recall that the City staff had begun work
on a Comprehensive Plan amendment of its own prior to the Trivesco
proposal. As such theCjty Engineer and I feel strongly that the City
should pursue this aspect of the project regardless of the outcome of
the Trivesco project. 'In this regard, the road system could almost be
considered a separate amendment to the transportation element of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Shorewood'sTransportation Plan calls for Vine Hill Road to be upgraded
to collector status. The Vine Hill Road/Highway 7 intersection has
been noted as a serious problem and an area of further study. The
Area Plan for Planning District 13 reads:
"As mentioned in the Transportation Plan, development of District 13
must relate to two transportation issues: 1) improvement of the
Vine Hill Road/Highway 7 intersection, including access via the
southern service road of Highway 7 and, 2) construction of the Highway 62
Crosstown route from Highway 101 to Interstate 494. In reviewing
any development request for the area in question the issue of access
must be addressed."
Following is the staff's recommendation for the new road system for the
southeast corner of the City. Instead of Vine Hill Road being the primary
north/south collector for the area, a new collector street would be
built through the undeveloped portions of the area. The new collector
would require a new intersection at Highway 7. The Vine Hill Road
intersection would be closed off on the south side forming a "T"
intersection. In so doing Deephaven retains full access to Highway 7
in both directions. Since he does not control the southernmost parcel
adjoining Covington Road, the developer has shown the new collector
teeing into Covington Road. As shown on Exhibit's Band C, the staff's
proposal is to extend the collector southward through the western corner
of the parcel abutting Covington Road, then eastward connecting to
Vine Hill Road, then southward again ultimately connecting to State
Highway 101. At the southwest corner of the Trivesco project Covington
Road would be bent upward teeing into the new collector street.
Similarly, Vine Hill Road would be bent westward teeing into the new
collector street. This would provide a continuous, nonstop connection
between Highways 7 and 101. Teeing Vine Hill Road and Covington Road
into the new collector should discourage nonlocal traffic from using
those streets, protecting existing neighborhoods.

The City has prepared several plans for resolving the Vine Hill Road
intersection problem. None are considered to be as good a solution as
the one currently proposed. The Trivesco proposal provides an oppor-
tunity to implement the new road plan. Due to the staff's positive
conviction relative to this new road plan and a positive reaction from
the Planning Commission, groundwork has already begun on the plan.
One of the first steps in planning the new intersection is to prepare
a traffic study for the Department of Transportation, demonstrating
that the intersection -i$ warranted. The City Council has authorized
the staff to negotiat~ ~ith the developer to split the costs of the
traffic st~dy. Our initial meeting with MnDOT representatives was
favorable, with funding of the project being the primary point in
question. 'We have also met with Mr. Wallace Dayton, the owner of the
southerly property adjacent to Covington Road. His response to the
possibility of a collector street cutting the corner of his property
was surprisingly favorable. Of course, he expects a reasonable price
for ih~ land. This, plus the possibility of acquiring the remaining
portion of his property for park purposes will be pursued in greater
detail depending on the acceptance of the Trivesco Concept Plan.
Trivesco's phasing plan provides the City with time to thoroughly study
the new intersection idea. Initial development would start with single-
family lots in the southern part of the project. The multiple-family
and commercial areas would not be developed until the intersection
question is resolved. At this point it is hoped that the City will
give its full support to the road plan in an effort to establish a
desirable circulation pattern for the area and, moreover, to resolve
the Vine Hill Road intersection problem.
Although this is only the concept stage of the proposal, one minor issue
should be addressed at this time. The developer has shown a 15 foot
"spite strip" along the northerly side of the easternmost cul-de-sac.
This was done based upon comments by a representative of the property
owner to the north. The Shorewood Subdivision Ordinance refers to such
an area as a "reserve strip", and specifically prohibits such practice.
It is recommended that the problem with the adjoining landowner be
resolved in some other fashion than creation of a reserve strip.
Public Utilities.
According to the City Engineer sanitary sewer is capable of handling
the project as proposed. Storm sewer can be handled within the project
and will be addressed in greater detail in the development stage of
the P.U.D. process.
Only water remains a question. It should be noted that the Ttivesco
proposal would complete the development of Planning District 13. Two
other projects, Cbvington Vine Ridge and Near Mountain are affected by
the City's determination on water. As of this writing the City Council
has informed the Covington Vine Ridge developers that some determination
on water service for the area will be made by the first Council meeting
in June.

Parks and Open Space.
The developer had initially proposed a five-acre fully developed park
in the southerly portion of the site. Based upon a recommendation by
the Park Commission, we are currently exploring the possibility of
acquiring 10 to 20 acres of the Dayton property for park purposes.
Depending on the price of the land, the City may obtain enough park
dedication funds from the three developments in the area to acquire the
property. This is being pursued in conjunction with the right-of-way
acquisition through the Dayton property. Possibly more information
will be available at th~public hearing on 1 May.
r
The applicant has shown a strip of open space along the eastern border
of the site. The P.U.D. booklet refers to this as private open space.
Whether this area remains private or ends up as public open space, the
City should acquire easements for trail purposes to complete the trail
system from the southern boundary of Shorewood up to Highway 7.
RECOMMENDATION
Based upon the preceding analysis, it is suggested that the Planning
Commission recommend approval of the Trivesco Concept Plan, including
the Comprehensive Plan amendment necessary to accommodate the proposal.
Such approval must be contingent upon resolution of the intersection
and water issues. While it is realized that these represent major "ifs",
the P.U.D. process provides the City with sufficient control and
assurance to proceed with the project.

Re: Plan Amendment for Trivesco Development
Dear Brad:
Council staff has informally reviewed the proposed city plan amendment for the
local collector and increased density of the Trivesco development and offers
the following comments:
Transporta tion - The key regional transportation concern is the design of the
intersection of the new collector with Hwy. 7. The city should work with the
Minnesota Department of Transportation to arrive at an acceptable design.
Sewers - The later stages of the planned unit development may pose a timing
problem. Our environmental staff estimates that the higher density would
increase the sewage flow by about 40 percent. The Shorewood II interceptor,
which serves Shore wood and other south shore Lake Minnetonka communities, is
nearing capacity. A project for a new interceptor is included in the Metropol-
itan Waste Control Commission's Development Program, which the Council will
consider in the next four weeks. The earliest the improvement could be in
operation, given the time for design, contracting and construction, is probably
1986. To avoid a situation where development generating higher flows is in
pl~ce before interceptor capacity is available, the Council will probably
recommend that the city delay the later stages of the development producing the
higher flows until the interceptor is available. The city may wish to speak in
support of the proposed in terceptor improvement when the Development Program
comes before the Council. Karl Burandt of our environmental section would be a
good person to talk to regarding this (291-6404).
When you would like us to formally review the amendment, you should have the
city council act to send it to the Council for this purpose. From our prelim-
inary review, we know there is a potential metropolitan system impact (sewers),
so we will not be able to use the "fast track" 10-day review, but will have up
to 90 days. As a practical matter, our review would take about 30 days, with
this time to prepare a report and send it to the Metropolitan and Community
Development Comittee and the full Council. If you have questions, please let
me know (291-6321). Would you like a meeting? A meeting might be a good idea,
since it would allow us to discuss how to address this issue which, could save
review time la ter.
Sincerely,

Shorewood, MN 55331
Dear Mr. Nelson:
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review the Trivesco
P.U.D. development proposal in Shorewood.
In general, we believe that the proposal appears to represent a
high quality project that will be a good neighbor to Minnetonka.
The developers have considerable experience in Minnetonka and
their projects are generally of a high caliber. On behalf of the
City I have two Questions I would like you to address.
We note that the proposal calls for a new intersection on Highway
7. By itself, this intersection, assuming safe design and MnDOT
approval, is acceptable. However, we believe that it must be
considered in conjunction with the hazardous Vine Hill Road
intersection located a short distance to the east. We are aware
of State plans to upgrade this intersection, however, we believe
that these improvements will not totally resolve existing
problems. In our opinion, a realignment of the frontage road in
a manner similar to that being proposed with Trivesco is
warranted. We believe that recent development in Shorewood
(Trivesco and in the Vine Hill Road area) coupled with existing
traffic problems at the Vine Hill Road intersection, make
consideration of these improvements necessary. Furthermore, we
note that the plans are rather vague regarding a connection of
the frontage road from Vine Hill Road to the Trivesco
intersection. We believe that the construction of this
connection at an early stage in the project is vital.
The second issue is in regards to how the developer proposes to
satisfy the recreational needs of the residents. We are aware of
Shorewood's intent to construct a park in this area and support
this plan. However, we are somewhat concerned with the maps
provided in the Trivesco submittal that prominantly points out

e
Minnetonka's Covington Park and lists the available facilities.
This is the only developed park area indicated on the map. We
would encourage the City of Shorewood to program park
construction concurrent with or in advance of Trivesco's project
to insure that the recreational needs of the residents can be
met.
Again, thanks for providing us with the opportunity to comment on
this proposal.

Dear Mr. Nielsen:
You requested comment in your letter of April 27, 1984,
relative to the proposed development of approximately
107 acres of land located south of Highway *7, just
west of where Burger King is now located. Our Board
of Education has not discussed it, but I can share
staff reaction at this juncture.
Minnetonka School District *276 would be impacted at
least three ways by the proposed development. First,
the assessed valuation of the property would probably
increase which generates additional tax revenue. (For much
of the school aid formula this simply results in more
local levy revenue and an equal offset in state aid.)
Second, there would be a marked increase in traffic which
has importance in the transportration of our student body;
currently, the number of buses needed to transport
pupils is determined by the number of students and the
turn-around time involved for buses to deliver them and return
for another load. We have experienced a marked increase in
vehicle traffic in recent years (on Highway *7 and 101,
especially>, the installation of additional traffic lights,
and a consequent slowdown in delivery times for pupils. The
bottom line is that while our student population has decreased,
our transportation costs have not diminished in equal measure.
Our school district is most interested in this third .re.:
planning for additional students. Your helo with these
Questions will be aooreciated:
Third, the development should increase our student enrollment.
The data provided -- 160 multiple family residential
units on 21.8 acres and 91 single family residential units
on 63.6 acres -- does not indicate the likely market value
of each unit. Our experience is that the number of students
per unit is impacted greatly by the price of each unit.
'-.
e
e
1. What will be the likely coat per unit
for the 160 multiple family r..idential
units?
2. What will be the cost per unit of the 91 single
family residential units?
3. What is your projected timeframe for the
occupany of the units? For example, is the
developer contemplating various phases of
completion over a number of years? Such detail
would be useful in our own planning.
4. Will there be any restrictions on type of
occupany, e.g., numbers of children, etc.?
On a personal note I can share a feeling of excitement
about such a major development. If Minnetonka School District
can be helpful to you in answering questions, please do not
hesitate to let us know. We may have additional questions
as well; this letter includes only those that come to mind
initially.

Gentlemen:
We attended a planning commi t tee mee ting Hay 1 s t or 2nd. '\'/e are wri ting to
tell you of our distress abol1t your proposed development. We do not mind
people developing their pro'perty. \lthat bothers us is the fact they claim
they need commercial development on Highway 7. '{,'e disagree that they do.
'.ole also feel that putting another signal system between Vinehill Road and
Christmas Lake would be rid'iculous. I don't understand why the system
couldn't have the traffic go out to Vinehill Road and then over to Eiway 101.
Vinehill Road is plugged up already in the morning and afternoon \..'1. th people
going to work.)hat makes people think there will be less traffic there with
a traffic sign west a mile~
VJe in Deephaven have fought high density housing because of the schools, the
police service and the sewer and water systems in the village.
I pray you will insist the developers come up with a better plan, more in
keeping with the community as a whole.
'vole think changing the neighborhood to fatten a few peoples pocketbooks is
indefensible. we will all have to pay for the signs, the care of the highway
because of more traffic. Then the noise of trucks stopping and starting will
effect the noise level in our communities.
Sincerely concerned,

Attention: P1annin~ Commission
Regarding: TRIVESCO Etal (Murfin Property)
From: Robert A. Vanden Branden, 19585 Shady Hills Road, Lot 003 Block 004
(Adjacent property-owner to the East)
Dear Members;
After careful study, I am expressin~ 1l'\V views so that you members representing
property-owners can consider them in makin~ your decision.
DENSITY: This factor has been used and abused by proposing planners. I have
heard nothing about the adjoining density problem created by Stratford Woods
apartments or the anticipated expansion southward along the East side of Vine
Hill Road in Minnetonka.
In the Shady Hills Addition there are about ninety persons in thirty homes. If
the proposed multiple family dwe11in~s are constructed, there would be about
450 to 500 individuals adjacent to our property in an estimated ten to fifteen
acre area. I believe the density factor is not represented properly to the City
or property-owners.
WATER SUPPLY: Not one positive word came from the planners as to how this will
be accomplished with the existing andconf1ictin~ systems we now have. Our area
obtains water from Minnetonka. At the'meeting the planners' spokesman, John,
stated water could be obtained from l'-annetonka. On good authority I heard this
is not true. We could in fact lose our present water supply from Minnetonka and
then have to re-establish or drill new wells because of this project over-draining
water.
ADJACENT PROPERTY: In 1964 an old roadway ran adjacent to our property and lead
to the abandoned Brom I s bui1din~ After the land was cleared, Jerome Studer; then
Street Supervisor, brought in fill and sod and built asphalt curbs around this
road entry. Since then we have maintained this property to improve the area. Last
year I asked Brad Nielson, City Planner, if I could purchase this small parcel.
}tr intentions were to change my driveway and enter the garage from the West. I
hoped to build an additional garage for 1l'\V motorhome out of view from the street.
I was told that City restrictions prevent additional garaging space and that the
City never sells or relinquishes this tyPe of property; MY question is: If I
could not purchase this parcel to enhance the area, how can the developer include
this parcel in his purchase to erect multiple family dwellings even closer to our
property? I think 1l'\V question deserves an immediate answer or it. could deem
further legal investigation.
SUMMARY: I feel TRIVESCO is trying to railroad a committment from ~ur commission
without properly providing a choice of alternative plans. It seems there are too
manv variables, ifs, or to be determineds. Please do not give blanket approval to
a concept that can be later modified. We do not want multiple family dwel!i~gs
..'
e
e
adjacent to our property or commercial establishments creeping along Highwa.y 7.
The property is presently zoned residential and I hope that status can be maintained.
Shady Hills has always had hi~h property taxes. We have paid dearly for the
privilege of living in a residential environment, and we hope ours remains residential.
I have no objections to middle to upper-priced single family homes to blend into this
attractive landscape.
Some of the positive aspects that are being' used by TRIVESCO to influence people
in their favor are ~een belts, ponds, parks, etc. In reality these are parts of
a Comprehensive Plan and can be more economically constructed by our City if, when,
and where it is mandated by our needs. The additional increase in school registration
is a major factor which would negate any tax relief mentioned by TRIVESCO.
Please vote NO to this development as proposed and decide to keep the property as
zoned, R-1.
Respectfully,
/?ttk)rtJ~~

A neighborhood meeting vas bel~ by the ~eveloper "to explain ~he new project

from the commercial sector. This info~ation was obtained from
Brad Nielson, Shorewood city planner. ~eople coming from the .

NOISE AND AIR POLLUTIONs From the increased traffic and new
traffic ,~ight. Cars and trucks will idle engines and gear down
and gear up creating additional air end noise pollution.

Some neighbors .feel'this high density proposal will destroy the character

Dear Planning Commission Member:
Re: Proposed Rezoning adjacent to TH 7 to comply with Trivesco Development
Plan
There are several Deephaven residents living adjacent to and in the vicinity of the
above referenced development site. To my k.nowledge all are opposed to Shorewood's
plan for the rezoning of this land area; as am I.
from what I have gathered in talking -with ctherShorewood..,.es1dents.'tthe~ity ~$'n
a big financial bind and is trying to build a larger tax base 1n-which to relieve ..
this situation. It appears to be taking placed by the indiscriminate rezoning of
property to provide more commercial and high density land use.
It has been acknowledgeofor quite some time that the existing road network. along
State Highway 7, especially at the intersection of Vine Hill Road is substandard in
design to adequately handle existing traffic volumes. The intersection has a very
high accident rate as a result of this. It cannot realistically accommodate anoth-
er 3600 + vehicles per day. The developers proposed traffic signal to the west
would place little relief on Vine Hill Road because of its directional restric-
tions. It is doubtful that such an intersection design would even be approved by
the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
For the above reason, I feel that it is the duty of the Shorewood Planning Commis-
sion to delay taking any action on this proposed rezoning. Adequate traffic
studies should be conducted by MnlDot to determine what and where the needs are for
handling any additional and significant traffic generation in this area.
A bad situation should not be made worse for the sake of a little tax relief.
Sincerely,
iJ~.u

Mr. Bruce Benson
Planning Commission
5820 Cristmas lake Rd.
Excelsior, MN 55331
Dear Commissioner Benson:
1 have a number of concerns directed toward the Trfvesco planned
development which is located just across Highway 7from1l'lY home.
The first of my concerns is concept. Their concept of low density
residential plus high density residential in the area is fine.
Their assertion that commercial need accompany this residential
concept is false. No person I have talked to in the Deephaven or
Shorewood area is happy with the idea of extending the commericial
strip any farther than it already is. The ~ommunity does not want
the commercial included in the concept plan. We don't like the
increased amount of traffic, a 100% increase over the increase
due to residential growth caused exclusively by added commercial.
We don't want the visual impact on our neighborhood that commercial
would give. Trivesco, in their proposal has stated that from
2 to 3 story commercial structures would be built. These are
large buildings and cannot by any landscaping method conceivable
be sheltered from view, even if the developer says that he will
do it. The lights will be on till the late hours of the night
and that is when we, as residents of Shorewood, are home or sleeping.
The soil condition of the area to be commercial is said to be
poor so that makes a good area for commercial buildings. This is
partially true, but it is also good as an area for moderate density
residential units. Another point which 1 feel is important is
that the developer is simply using the p1a~er as a tool to get
the zoning changed, and then will sell the property at a much
greater price to someone else. 1 have worked for an architect
in the past and have presented numerous proposals to Planning
Commissions and City Councils as a representative of a developer
and then when the proposed proposal is passed the developer kisses
the design goodby and is free to sell the commercially zoned
property to anyone he wishes.

The control is lost. I feel commercial is good and needed, but
should be planned NOT to ruin communities but to enhance them.
This concept of commerical along Highway 7 is a detriment to the
community.
A further concern I have toward the presentation of the Trivesco
proposal is that of their assertion that another intersection
be added. Trivesco is assuming all new traffic will come north
to Highway 7. Not so. Much of the traffic will take the Highway
101 route to Highway 7, a much faster and less congested road with
a far better access to Highway 7 at the K Mart area. More of the
traffic will go south to Highway 5 which is in the planning stages
to be upgraded to fourlane. The small amount of remaining traffic
that would move to the north could simply be handled with a merge
'.';[;()n hne.ct1ore stop lights will only slow traffic not increase its
flow. But if commercial is allowed in this area, certainly a stop
light is needed. The planner projected that 1800 cars a day would
use the commercial on and off Highway 7. This number is equal to
the total number of proposed residential trips. Commercial
traffic would be on and off the highway types of movement
which would increase the traffic congestion at this already
busy intersection. -
...
. I feel that if commercial is kept out, then the residential
traffic would be much easier to handle.
Sincerely,
~i. Boyer

Dear Planning Commisioner,
As homeowners in this area,we are concerned about the
proposed rezoning of the property on the South side of Hwy. ?
near Brom's Market. We enjoy our neighborhood because of the
country feeling it projects. We feel a commercial and/or
high density housing area would ruin the existing feeling as
well as having an adverse effect on our property value. We
do not wish to have an increase in traffic or noise and do
not-wish to look out across Hwy. ? at large, brightly lighted
buildingsl
We are greatly opposed to this type -ofnevelopmentand
are asking you not to allowcommerci.alandc-l1igh 'densi tyhous-
ing rezoning for this property.
Thank you for your concern.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION
The proposed Trivesco development on property adjacent to
Brom's Market is a real concern to residents of Shorewood (and
Deephaven) who live in the neighborhood. While it is perhaps
inevitable, even logical, to assume that the property will eventually
be developed, it does not necessarily follow that the strip along
Highway 7 must be rezoned to provide for the commercial development
included in this proposal.
Mr. John Uban, Trivesco's representative, has told us repeatedly
that the soil is poor and unsuitable for housing construction. Of
course it is. Prior to its becoming a dump site, it was a natural
wetland. It probably is not really suitable for commercial
development either. The Wayzata Bay Shopping Center with its sunken
parking lots and fractured construction testifies to the mistake of
converting natural wetlands into construction sites.
While Trivesco has numerous features in its development concept
which we can support, we remain adamantly opposed to rezoning to
accommodate commercial development as such commercial development
would have a very negative impact on the surrounding residential areas.
At the neighborhood meetings and also at the planning commission
meeting we were "assured" that the signage, lights and traffic would be
inoffensive according to the development plans. However, it is absurd
to think that a commercial strip in the area could be camouflaged in
such a way that it would be inoffensive to the neighboring residential
areas. This neighborhood does not want, nor does it need, more commer-
cial development. Now is the time to prevent Highway 7 from becoming
another Wayzata Boulevard.
Two other major concerns are the high density of the housing units
and the intersection with a traffic light proposed at the Brom's
Market location. We find these to be equally objectionable and urge
careful reevaluation of these matters.
... .
It is very clear the Shorewood's City Planner, Mr. Brad Nielson,
is in favor of and enthusiastic about the development plans as
proposed by Trivesco. Let us bear in mind, however, that city planners
have a way of not remaining as permanent residents of the communities
which they serve. The completion of this development would undoubtedly
look very impressive on his resume while we are left to live with
the results.

A final word must be said concerning Mr. Mirfin who owns the land
on which the proposed commercial is to be buil ~ and for whom rezoning
would prove to be a financial windfall. It is morally and ethically
reprehensible to think that after his having created a visual blight on
the landscape in that area for years, he now stands to reap enormous
profit--at a lasting expense to us all--from the sale of this land.
Crass exploitation should be stopped, not rewarded, as will surely
happen with the present proposal.
The citizens have spoken with one voice, and we urge you to listen
and be sensitive to the needs of the surrounding neighborhood. We feel
that our neighborhoods are beautiful; and it is our wish (and it should
be yours too) to preserv~ the existing character and quality of life
now enjoyed in the adjacent residential areas.
Sincerely,

Attention: Plannin~ Commission
Re~ardin~: TRlVESCO Etal (~rfin Pro~rtv)
From: Rohert A. Vanden Branden, 19585 Shady Hills Road, Lot DO) Block 004
(Adjacent pro~rty-owner to the East)
Dear }~embers;
After careful study, I am expressin~ my views so that you members representing
pro~rtv-owners can consider them in makin~ your decision.
DE~SITY: This factor has been used and abused by proposing planners. I have
heard nothin~ ahout the adjoinin~ density problem created by Stratford Woods
apartments or the anticipated expansion southward alon~ the East side of Vine
Hill Road in Minnetonka.
In the Shady Hills Addition there are about ninety persons in thirty homes. If
the proposed multiple family dwellin~s are constructed, there would be about
450 to 500 individuals adjacent to our pro~rty in an estimated ten to fifteen
acre area. I believe the density factor is not represented properly to the City
or pro~rtv-owners.
WATER SUPPLY: Not one positive word came from the planners as to how this will
be accomplished with the existing and conflicting systems we now have. Our area
obtains water from Yinnetonka. At the meeting the planners. spokesman, John,
stated water could be obtained from ;':innetonka. On good authority I heard this
is not true. We could in fact lose our present water supply from Minnetonka and
then have to re-establish or drill new wells because of this project over-draining
water.
A~JAC~NT PROP~RTY: In 1964 an old roadwav ran adjacent to our property and lead
to the abandoned Brom. s builriines. After the land was cleared, Jerome Studer; then
Street Supervisor, brou~ht in fill and sod and built asphalt curbs around this
road entry. Since then we have maintained this property to improve the area. Last
vear I asked Brad Nielson, City Planner, if I could purchase this small parcel.
~ intentions were to chan~e mv drivewav and enter the garage from the West. I
hoped to build an additional garage for my motorhome out of view from the street.
I was told that City restrictions prevent additional garaging space and that the
City never sells or relinquishes this tvpe of p~opertv. My question is: If !
could not purchase this parcel to enhance the area, how can the developer include
this parcel in his purchase to erect multiple family dwellings even closer to our
property? I think my question deserves an immediate answer or it could deem
further legal investigation.
SlT}~ARY: I feel TRIVESCO is trvin~ to railroad a committment from :v;our commission
without properly providing a choice of alternative plans. It seems there are too
manv variables, ifs, or to be determineds. Please do not give blanket approval to
a concept that can be later modified. We do not want multiple family dwellings
SIv4-J. .
.. .
... .." I '.
adjacent to our property or commercial establishments creepin~ along Hi~hway 7.
The property is presently zoned residential and I hope that status can be maintained.
Shady Hills has alwavs had high property taxes. We have paid dearly for the
privilege of living in a residential environment, and we hope ours remains residential.
I have no objections to middle to upper-priced single family homes to blend into this
attractive landscape.
It
e
Some of the positive aspects that are bein~ used bV TRIVESCO to influence people
in their favor are green belts, ponds, parks, etc. In reality these are parts of
a Comprehensive Plan and can be more economically constructed by our City if, when,
and where it is mandated by our needs. The additional increase in school registration
is a major factor which would negate any tax relief mentioned by TRIVESCO.
Please vote NO to this development as proposed and decide to keep the property as
zoned, R-l.
Respectfully,
/ltkJrl'I J{JHbL ~

D~E:- f"7e. ~f.J~~ ~
We are greatly concerned over the proposal to develop
the land south of Highway 7 (west of Burger King) into
commercial and higher density residential use. We live
Nbrth of the proposed developement on Old Excelsior Blvd.
and believe such commercial and high density residential
use will bring increased pressure on our community resources
ie. schools for apartment dwellers children, increased
police protection and increased road building and maintenance.
(Considerably more than would be needed for single family
or low dp.r.si ty j~esidential.) llle are especially concerned
about traffic on Hwy. 7. if there is :mything we don' '.;. need
more of on Hwy. 7, it's traffic lights. The truck noise on
Hwy 7 at the interchange with VineHill road is incredible.
The flow of traffic shouldn't be interrupted any more than
.l.t dlrea.Qj is.
Sucn commercial and high den~ity residentia.l use does not
fit into the overall character of the area. With the inter-
changes at Hwys 7 and 101, and 7 and 41, plus the City of
Excelsior, there are plenty of places for people to shop
and office. Other areas close by are being developed
successfully for single family and low density residential
use. S11ch use would result in considerably less strain on
our facilities. Also, a lessened traffic could be routed to
avoid messing up Hwy~7 any more than it already is.
It is our belief that the development of the property
as it is now proposed would lower the real property values
of eve~yone in the area, particularily those close by.
We hope you will consider these problems and the long term
expense to the community that will result from commercial
and high density residential use of this property.

MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRAD NIELSEN
DATE: 25 MAY 1984
RE: RAPID OIL
FILE NO.: 405 (83.47)
Upon having their initial request for a variance and conditional use permit denied,
Mr. Ed Flaherty, President of Rapid Oil, then requested that the Council recon-
sider its decision in order for him to present information that may have been
overlooked or underemphasized. At the 9 April City Council meeting, the applicant
presented reasons why his request should be approved. One of his primary
arguments was based upon an alternative site plan (see Exhibit A, attached) which
conforms to the Shorewood Zoning Ordinance. Their intent was to show that they
could locate their business on the site, but, that by adhering to the requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance, the resulting site plan was much worse than if a variance
were to be granted. As it turned out, the fact that the site could be designed
without a variance was one of the primary reasons for denying the variance request
a second time.
Since then, in a letter dated 9 May 1984, Mr. James Steilen, the applicant's
attorney, has again asked the City to reconsider the variance. While much of his
argument is based upon legal aspects of the variance (e.g. majority vs. 4/5 vote,
Shorewood's case history on variances, etc.) which will be addressed by the City
Attorney, one of his main arguments questions whether the alternative site plan
does in fact comply with the Shorewood Zoning Ordinance. At the direction of the
Council the following is an evaluation of the alternative site plan's conformance
with our zoning standards.
Zoning Requirements
1. Setbacks. Since our current ordinance does not require any front yard setback
in the C-3 District, the applicant has moved the new building northward on the
site right up to the front property line. In doing so, all the parking meets
the 50 foot setback requirement at the rear of the lot. Although the existing
florist building is still three feet too close to the rear lot line even after
removing 23 feet from the rear, a variance would only be required if the
building were to be structurally altered.

2. Parking. The alternative plan provides 14 parking spaces for the site, all
of which conform with the 50 foot setback requirement. It must be realized,
however, that the two spaces numbered 8 and 9 do not count as required
parking. The Zoring Ordinance specifically states that parking spaces must
contain 300 square feet including access drives, and must be adequately
served by access drives. Spaces 8 and 9 do not conform with those require-
ments and therefore can not be counted. Consequently the site contains only
12 parking spaces. Based upon the parking requirements contained in Section
13, Subd. 12, the two buildings require 14 spaces - six for the two stall
service garage and eight for the office building. In short, even the
alternative site plan can not be done without a variance.
Design Considerations
Aside from the zoning requirements, certain design problems should be considered
relative to the alternative site plan. First, moving the building northward
eliminates any opportunity for landscaping in front of the new building. A
greater concern is that stacking space for cars waiting to enter the service
garage is reduced, increasing the possibility of traffic congestion on the service
road. Finally, the location of the existing billboard may have an adverse affect
on parking on the west side of the building. If people can't easily get in and
out of parking stalls they tend to not use them. Even if they are used out of
necessity, increased maneuvering time could potentially increase congestion at the
driveway and on the service road.
I have been asked to prepare possible design alternatives for the site, illu-
strating how it might be used in conformance with our zoning requirements. These
will be presented at the meeting on Tuesday.

MEMO TO: Shorewood City Council
FROM: Gary Larson
RE: Rapid Oil Change
As I indicated to you at the last meeting, I was requesting Jack
Hennen of the League of Minnesota Cities to do some research for
me in regard to the two major questions raised by the attorneys
for Rapid Oil Change. I received a rough draft of the memo in my
office this morning and will be receiving a final form of the
memo prior to Tuesday night's Council meeting.
I did, however, want to have included in your packet a short
summary of Jack's research. His memo indicates that he feels we
do not have "a problem with the situation surrounding the granting
of the variance for the Burger King application nor for the
recent variances granted to residential requests within the City.
He cites numerous cases which narrow tremendously the scope of
review that a Court would have in this regard and cites several
cases that indicate that a previous erroneous application of law
does not require a further erroneous application of the law.
He further discusses the issue concerning the 4/5's requirement
by the City Council for granting of a variance. This is a
closer, more difficult, question to answer and really is a
question of first impression in Minneso'ta. The majority of the
cases which counsel for Rapid Oil cite are out-of-state cases and
cases prior to the enactment of the Municipal Planning Act. One
must keep in mind that when granting variances the City Council
is sitting as the Board of Adjustment and Jack's memo cites
several cases which lend credence to the fact that the City
Council can require the 4/5's requirement in granting variances.

In my discussions with Jack he agrees with me that there is no
distinction as to types of variances granted as use variances and
are not allowed now under Minnesota Statutes. His memo goes on
to discuss what is in conflict with State statute and clearly the
4/5's requirement is ,not contrary to and in conflict with State
statute but only in addition thereto. From a review of all
available material, I would conclude that, although this is a
close question, the City's position on a 4/5's vote is as
maintainable as position taken by the attorneys for Rapid Oil.

Re: Traffic Study
New Intersection & Collector Street
Trivesco Development & S.T.H. No. 7
Dear City Officials:
At the regular Council Meeting March 12, 1984, we were authorized "to
contact the developers and get an agreement from them to be responsi-
ble for the expenses, and the City will then proceed with the 'Feasi-
bility Study'." The feasibility study is for a new intersection on
S . T . H . No.7.
Since the Council meeting, there have been several meetings with the
developers, Trivesco. Discussion at those meetings regarding the
traffic study evolved into a statement in the Development Agreement:
"The City Engineers, Orr-Schelen-Mayeron & Associates, Inc. shall
prepare a written proposal defining the scope of the traffic study
and shall submit a firm bid for its costs."
Enclosed is our "Scope of Work" for the traffic study. As you will
note, the estimated total hours required is 350 hours representing a
cost of $18,900. The traffic study will take a maximum of 3 months
(90 days) to complete.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

The initial intent of this study is to determine if there is a need
for a new intersection on S.T.H. No.7 and a collector street south
from this intersection through the proposed Trivesco Development.
We will determine the impact that new development has on the existing
roadway network, and recommend modifications or improvements to
prevent traffic congestion and improve traffic saftey.
Work Breakdown
Inventory of Existing Data
To the maximum extent possible, existing data will be used to complete
this report. Records of the local municipalities, Metropolitan
Council and the State of Minnesota will be collected. An inventory of
existing physical conditions, including photographing the area, will
be performed. Information related to existing traffic volumes, future
traffic volumes, existing land use patterns and future land use
patterns will be obtained. The data will be evaluated and decisions
will be made concerning what information to use for this study.
Estimated Hours: 40
Supplementation of Existing Data
If data is not available from these existing sources, or if it is
found that the information is inappropriate for use for the purposes
of this study, needed information will be generated by the project
staff. The method of generating such information will be selected
after the existing data sources have been evaluated.
Estimated Hours: 50
Data Analysis
From data gathered in the preceding tasks, design criteria will be
developed to be used for the remaining tasks of this project.
Estimated Hours: 30
Traffic Projection
From existing and future land use and existing transportation informa-
tion, an estimate of the future transportation requirements will be
made.
Trip generation rates and trip diversion factors reflecting past
experience will be used. Similar information will be requested from
the Metropolitan Council and State of Minnesota. If information for
the region or state is available, it will be used if applicable. If
such information is not available, the national average information
will be used. Estimated Hours: 40
-1-
e
e
Capacity Analysis
Utilizing the traffic data projections, an analysis of the existing
network will be performed. Areas of insufficient capacities will be
studied to develop alternatives to provide acceptable levels of
service. Estimated Hours: 60
Report Preparation
A report will be prepared and submitted to the City for review along
with copies to the affected parties and governmental agencies.
Estimated Hours: 120
Report Review Follow-Up
Subsequent to the report review process, there will be an opportunity
to respond to the affected parties after all agencies have had an
opportunity to express their concerns. Estimated Hours: 10

Re: Speed Zoning - Enchanted Lane
City of Shorewood
Dear Ms. Kennelly:
An engineering and traffic investigation to determine a reasonable and
safe speed limit for Enchanted Lane has been completed as requested by
the Shorewood City Council on October 24, 1983. We find several factors
that have a bearing on speed limit selection:
1) The existing speed limit is technically 55 MPH because of low
development density. M.S. 169.14 specifies that a road must
meet the criteria of "Urban District" (built up with structures
at intervals of less than 100 feet for a distance of a quarter
mile or more) to qualify for the 30 MPH urban district speed
limit.
2) Enchanted Lane has a narrow width and curving alignment.
3) Traffic consists almost entirely of local people who drive the
road on a daily basis.
4) Minnetrista has a 20 MPH speed limit for Enchanted Lane and
Tuxedo Boulevard within their city limits.
Considering these factors, there are three speed zoning options which
we will discuss in order of preference.
Option 1 - is to establish a uniform 25 MPH. speed limit through Minne-
trista and Shorewood and install warning signs with advisory speeds at
all locations where the speed limit can't be safely maintained. This
option would require a resolution from the Minnetrista City Council
asking us to determine speed limits for Enchanted Lane and Tuxedo
Boulevard within Minnetrista. Advantages would include speed limit
uniformity and better signing for spot locations considered hazardous.
There would, of course, be cost to both cities for the signing changes
needed.

Sandy Kennelly, City Clerk

Option 2 - is to continue the present unposted speed limit, but to add
warning signs with advisory speed plates for hazardous locations. Though
the speed limit would technically be 55 MPH, actual speeds would, as now,
be much lower.
Option 3 - is to post a separate speed limit of 30 MPH for Enchanted Lane
in Shorewood, adding warning signs with advisory speed plates where needed.
This option would establish an enforceable speed limit as would option 1,
but it would not have the advantage of uniformity. The speed limit value
is a little higher than option 1 because Enchanted Lane is more open in
Shorewood than in Minnetrista.
The 20 MPH speed limit requested by Shorewood was found to be unreasonably
low.
Option 1 was discussed with both Chief Richard Young of the South Lake
Minnetonka Police and Chief Tim Thompson of the Minnetrista/St. Bonifacius
Police. Both believe a uniform 25 MPH speed limit to be viable.
Before we take final action to authorize a speed limit for Enchanted Lane,
input is needed from Shorewood (and possibly Minnetrista) informing us of
the city's preference. Please contact either Ed Brown or myself at this
office.
Sincerely,
,,------

Re: Speed Zoning
W. 62nd Street, Cathcart Drive
Dear Ms. Kennelly:
The speed zoning study for West 62nd Street and Cathcart Drive which
was requested by the City Council of Shorewood on October 3, 1983,
has been completed. The delay in completion of the study was due to
suspension of speed studies over the winter months because of poor
road conditions.
Based on study results, we have recommended authorization of 30 miles
per hour speed limit for both W. 62nd Street between Strawberry Lane
and Cathcart Drive, and for Cathcart Drive between W. 62nd Street and
Smithtown Road. A formal speed limit authorization will be forth-
coming from the state traffic engineer. The recommended 30 MPH speed
limit is Minnesota's urban speed limit. It, therefore, offers the
advantages of consistency with other area streets and minimum neces-
sary signing. Since Shorewood's request also asked for a signage
study, we offer the following suggestions and comments:
_ The existing "SPEED LIMIT 30" signs on Cathcart Drive should
be replaced due to poor condition.
_ The "SLOW CHILDREN" sign just south of Smithtown Road on
Cathcart Drive should be removed because it is not an approved
sign.
_ Signing for the curves at either end of W. 62nd Street should
be improved by removing existing signs and installing signs as
shown on the attached diagram.
_ Since Cathcart Drive and W. 62nd Street function as collector
streets, we suggest "STOP" signs be installed for all inter-
secting side streets.

_ The speed limit should not be posted on W. 62nd Street unless
necessary for enforcement. Emphasis should instead be on other
signs, such as the curve signs and stop signs. For the same
reason, consideration should be given to removing the southbound
Speed Limit 30 sign on Church Road.
_ Existing "NO PARKING" zones in the Cathcart Park area are good
safety measures and should be expanded slightly to include the
entire park area. In addition, the narrow width of W. 62nd
Street and Cathcart Drive makes on-street parking hazardous.
Consideration should be given to banning parking on both streets,
or at the least, banning parking in areas of restricted visi-
bility.
_ The "SLOW" warning sign located just north of Afton Road on
Cathcart Drive should be removed. If a sign is needed at that
location, it should warn the motorist of a specific hazard
(curve, restricted sight distance, etc.) and advise the correct
speed.
If there are questions concerning either the speed limit or signing
recommendations, please contact Ed Brown, extension 172, at this
office.

1. They request that theci ty snow removal crew please
plow the pub-lie portion of Bayswater Road as early as
possible after a snowfall so that costs do not have
to be incurred to have our private snow removal con-
tractor plow public roads in order to reach the private
roads and driveways.
2. The road surface of Bayswater Road as it approaches
Minnetonka Boulevard oecomes quite slippery and dangerous
in the winter. The residents have requested frequent
sanding.
Tha,nk you for your consideration.
Very truly yours,
