ge Two
Mr. Gary Minion was present to state that he had bought Out lots A and B. plus the
piece of property west of the nursery with the red house standing on it. He stated
that he would like to:
1. Move the existing garage back, eliminating an eyesore.
2. Build a lath house to help shade nursery stock, consisting ofa structure
approximately 10 feet high, no sides, rough cedar horizontally on top, he
up by 4" x 4" posts. This would be built in the area currently occupied by'the
garage. He mentioned that a similar structure presently exists onhisproperty
and is available for inspection.
3. Take the existing driveway entering on SmithtownRoad, and havei~exitatthe
rear of the property onto Wood Duck Circle because the current driveway is only
wide enough for one car and most of the nursery stock is in the back of the
property, making the exiting easier at the rear.
4. Live upstairs in the red house and use the downstairs as an office and the
kitchen for employees, or let one employee live there as one of the working
benefits. (He stated that the house is presently under lease until September
of 1984.)
He also mentioned that he has already done landscaping on the Outlots, and plans
to do more, both on the Out lots and the piece of property upon which the house is
located, for a buffer and to improve the appearance.
Planning Commission Discussion
Building Setbacks were questioned. Planner Nielsen stated that with the additional
property Mr. Minion has bought, he meets setback requirements.
Driveway. Several members of the Commission expressed concern with a commercial
driveway exiting onto a residential street. They discussed:
- making it a one way, entering off Smithtown Road and exiting onto Wood Duck Circle.
- Conditional Use Permit for a year, to be studied after that time.
- a cul-de-sac at the end, entering and exiting onto Smithtown Road.
It was explained to Mr. Minion that, although the Commission did not see a problem
with his particular request, they are setting a precedent for similar situations, and
as a result did not feel it was appropriate. They suggested that he. redesign the
driveway so as not to exit on Wood Duck Circle.
House. Commission felt that although they did not mind Minion, or one of his
employees living in the house as an accessory use, they would rather not add
Single Family Dwellings to the R-C District. Planner Nielsen stated that the
single family residence is not listed in any fashion as either'permitted accessory
or conditional use in the R-C District, therefore the ordinance would. have to be
amended even if limited as an accessory use.
Mr. Minion questioned the fact that if it is legal to make it a duplex, why not a
single?

MEMORANDUM
TO:
PLANNING COMMISSION, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRAD NIELSEN
DATE: 1 MARCH 1984
RE: COVINGTON VINE RIDGE
FILE NO: 405 (83.46)
BACKGROUND
Having successfully gotten the City to approve ~ Comprehensive Plan amend-
ment allowing up to 2.7 units per acre for his property located northwest
of the Covington Road/Vine Hill Road Intersection, Mr. Eric Canton has
now submitted plans for the next step of the approval process--rezoning
fromR-1 to P.U.D. Since the Comp Plan amendment process is patterned
so closely to the Concept Stage of the P.U.D. process, we have suggested
that both Concept Stage and Development Stage be processed simultaneously.
This procedure is allowed by Section 27A. Subd. 6.B.3. (Ordinance No. 122).
For the complete background on this request, you should refer to the previous
staff report dated 5 January 1984. Also, the applicant has submitted
a P.U.D. booklet (cover letter dated 23 January, 1984) and revised plans
based upon the recommendations of City staff and officials. The booklet
is enclosed for your review. Copies of various plans for preliminary
plat, staging, etc. are attached as exhibits of this report.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
As you know, the P.U.D. process consists of three stages of review. The
applicant has submitted plans for the first two stages. Concept and Develop-
ment Stage, together. As mentioned earlier the Ordinance does provide
such an option. As a practical matter the Concept Stage approval for
this project has already been completed via the Comp Plan amendment procedure.
This report therefore will concentrate on the Development Stage of the process.
Concept Stage
At the time the Comprehensive Plan amendment was reviewed, certain recommenda-
tions were made relative to lot size~, setbacks, street layout and park
requirements. The applicant's plans have addressed these items quite
well. All of the items will be discussed in detail as part of the following
Development Stage analysis.

Development Stage
Since the project limits itself exclusively to single family residential
use, review of the development stage basically involves review of the
preliminary plat (Exhibit A, attached).
1. Streets.
a. General Layout. Asyou recall, the original street layout for
the westerly portion of the site consisted of a single entry
from Covingtpn Road terminating in two cul-de-sacs. At the
recommendation of the City staff and Planning Commission, the
applicant has changed the design to a u-shaped configuration with
two access points on Covington Road.
Although not shown on the attached exhibits, the applicant has
named the streets as follows:
Westerly loop - Vine Ridge Curve
Northerly cul-de-sac - Vine Ridge Court
Southerly cul-de-sac - Covington Court
The southerly cul-de-sac aligns directly with Covington Road where
it continues eastward into Minnetonka. Vine Ridge Court is offset
from Hanus Road in Minnetonka. The offset meets the 125 foot
requirement provided in the Subdivision Ordinance.
b. Street Design. The applicant's original plan included 40 foot
wide streets. The new plan contains 50 foot r.o.w. widths. Since
the Subdivision Ordinance requires a 30 foot surface where adjacent
lots are less than half an acre in size, this leaves only 10 feet
of r.o.w. on each side of the street. The City Engineer has
in the past recommended a minimum of 13-15 feet on each side to
accommodate utilities and room for snow plowing and storage in
the winter. Rather than increase the r.o.w. width, the applicant
has agreed to provide 10 foot easements across the fronts of all
lots. While the existing Subdivision Ordinance does not provide
for such easements, the proposed new Subdivision Ordinance will.
The City Engineer should comment as to the trade-off between
right-of-way amd easement.
Such details as curve requirements, section design, grade~ etc.,
should be subject to review and comment by the City Engineer.
c. Future Street Plans. As noted at the last Planning Commission
meeting, the staff is preparing a Comprehensive Plan amendment
which proposes a new intersection be created on Highway 7 to
alleviate the problems at Vine Hill Road and Highway 7 (see Exhibit
C, attached). A new collector street would replace Vine Hill
Road as the collector street for that area. Vine Hill Road would
.
MEM~OM THE PLANNER
COVINGTON VINE RIDGE

be bent westward to form a 90 degree intersection with the new collector
street. The proposed plan has a minor impact on the Covington Vine
Ridge project in two ways. First, the new collector would require
additional r.o.w. from the south side of the project (35 feet has
been provided from the centerline while 40 would be required). Also,
bending Vine Hill Road westward may Fequireaslight adjustment to
the lot in the southeasternmost corner of the site. The necessary
changes can be done in the final plat for the project.
2. Lots and Blocks. As proposed, the preliminary plat consecutively
numbers all lots in the project. The plat should be changed to show
individual blocks with consecutive lots within each block.
a. Lots sizes. The plat reflects changes from the original plans
which were recommended by the staff and Planning Commission.
Specifically all lots are 10,000 square feet in area or greater.
Lot widths at building 1 ines are no. less than 65'. feet.
b. Setbacks. The applicant's plans propose the following setbacks:
front - 35 feet, side - 10 feet, and rear - 35 feet. Setbacks
in a P.U.D. are somewhat negotiable between the developer and
the City. However, certain parameters must be observed. As noted
in the original staff report dated5 January, 1984, front yard set-
backs should be adequate to accommodate two cars parked end to end in
front of the garage without encroaching into the street. The
proposed 35 foot front yards mitigate this concern. Also mentioned
was the proximity of buildings within the project, given the relative
narrowness of a 65 foot lot. To minimize the concern the applicant has
provided 10 foot side yards. While it is not appropriate to say
that variances should never be granted to the side yard requirement,
the developer, as well as future owners within the project should
clearly understand that the 10 foot minimum is intended to be
maintained. Consequently, all building plans should take possible
future expansion into consideration in locating structures on
lots.
3. Grading, Drainage and Utilities. While these items are largely subject
technical review by the City Engineer, one item is worth noting. The
Subdivision Ordinance requires 20 foot easements for utilities along side
and rear lot lines (10 feet on each side of the lot line). The applicant
has shown 10 foot easements - five feet on each side. The City Engineer
should comment as to the acceptability of smaller easements relative
to the smaller lots.
The major issue relative to utilities for this project is water service.
While the Planning Commission can make its recommendation without a
determination as to how the project may be served with water, the
Council must reach a policy decision prior to the final plan stage
of the review process.

As a final note, the preliminary plat will be subject to review and
comment by the Riley-Purgatory Creek Watershed District.
4. Architectural Considerations. While a P.U.D. involving only single
family development does not typically require specifics as to
architectural design, the applicant's past presentations have suggested
that certain assurances as to quality control will be provided.
Most of these are to be provided through protective covenants within
the project. In reviewing the applicant's proposed covenants in
his project booklet, the following concerns are noted.
a. Will the proposed Architectural Design Review committee have
criteria for evaluating proposed structures within the project?
If so, what are the criteria?
b. Should a copy of the committee's review be requried for a building
permit from the City?
c. Are garages to be required for all lots? The applicant's previous
presentations suggested all homes would be built with garages, but
I could find no specific reference to su~h a requirement. The
applicant should clarify this question.
5. Parks. The applicant's plans are generally consistent with the
recommendation of the Park Commission. That is, the project will
dedicate cash inlieu of land, and small common areas shown on the plat
will be owned and maintained by the homeowner's association. Two
areas, however, remain to be addressed. Will the provate "tot lot"
areas be developed as part of the project? If so, how? Will the
conservation easements for wetland protection also include provisions
for trail use? These questions should be resolved prior to the final
plan stage of the review process.
RECOMMENDATION
The developer has modified his proposal consistent with previous staff
and City official recommendations. The density of the project is within
that which was established,in th~ Comprehensive Plan amendment for the
site. It is therefore suggested that the Planning Commission recommend
Concept Stage approval of the project t~;the City Council. It is
futher suggested that the Commission recommend Development Stage
approval subject to review and comment on the streets, grading,
drainage and utilities by the City Engineer.

PLANNI.OMMISSION MEETING
TUESDA ARCH 6, 1984

Mr. Flaherty offered the following suggestions to allow them to keep it as an
open rental unit.
1. 2 separate leases - one for office rental and a separate one on the
apartment controlled directly by Rapid Oil Change.
2. Annual lease review by Council with immediate revocation if any
problems arise.
3. 7 years (including the conditions in 2), at the end of which time
the building will be torn down.
*Planner Nielsen stated there may be some question as to whether a time
limit could be pun on a C.U.P., and suggested checking with Attorney
Larson. He did say he liked the idea of separate leases.
Miles Lindberg asked if the problem could be handled under a "Developer's
Agreement." Planner felt it might help.
The question of whether or not a C.U.P. would carry to a new owner was raised.
Planner Nielsen said it would.
Watten moved, Leslie seconded, to recommmend to Council to allow the Conditional
Use Permit for an apartment but only under the conditions contained in Ordinance
No. 152 (caretaker apartment-Gary Minion-Shorewood Nursery). Motion carried
unanimously by Roll Call Vote - Reese, Boyd, Benson, Wattenand Leslie.
(
8:00 PUBLIC HEARING - COVINGTON VINE RIDGE - REZONING FROM R-l, SINGLE FAMILY
DISTRICT TO P.U.D., PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.
The Public Hearing opened at 8:25 PM.
Mr. Eric Canton and Mr. Rick Sathre were present to represent Covington Vine Ridge.
They pointed out the changes made: the removal of the two northerly cul-de-sacs,
changes the road to a large loop with both ends opening onto Covington Road; and
the rearrangement of open areas, placing an outlot in the center of the knoll to
provide a play space to keep the children out of the streets, with trails connect-
ing to the other open spaces. They stated they will maintain these open areas.
They wish to work with the Park Commission regarding trailways, they would like
to have the trail restricted to a specific location through the wetlands.
Streets
Engineer Norton had stated that there should be a 13'-15' r.o.w. on each side
of the paved surface.
Covington Vine Ridge proposes a 30'-32' hard surface, a 50' r.o.w., with a
10' easement across the fronts of the lots on each side.
Traffic
The traffic will move in a circular pattern with exits/entrances on Covington Road.

Lot/Block Numbers
The marking on presented plat was questioned. Covington Vine Ridge said they
will mark accordingly with Blocks and Lots as part of a final plat.
Easements- Water/Sewer/Drainage
Covington Vine Ridge will provide 20' easements on side lot lines for drainage
and utilities only where necessary. All others are proposed to be 10' (5' on
each side of the lot line).
House Plans
Near mountain in Chanhassen was used as an example. They discussed "walkouts"
around the knoll overlooking the wetlands. Planner Nielsen said there is a
43 foot difference from the top of the knoll to the wetland area.
Public portion of meeting closed at 8:41 with no public comment.
Water
This issue remains undecided. Acting Council Liaison Haugen said the water
issue will be discussed at the April 7th meeting.
Commissioner Reese said he would not recommend 64 individual wells.
l
Metro Waste Dumping
Council Liaison Haugen informed Covington Vine Ridge that Metro Waste had contacted
the City for permission to dump septic tanks into a manhole on Covington Road.
She suggested they contact Metro Waste regarding this situation.
Soil Boring
Commissioner Reese asked if the property has been soil tested. The answer
was not yet.
Reese moved, Watten seconded, to recommend to Council that they approve the
Concept and Development Plan for Covington Vine Ridge, including the Preliminary
Plat, subject to review and comments by the City Engineer. Motion carried
unanimously by roll call vote - Benson, Boyd, Reese, Watten and Leslie.
SHOREWOOD CONDOMINIUMS - DEVELOPMENT STAGE APPROVAL
Graydon R. Boeck, Engineer and Bill Gage, their Design Consultant were present.
Items discussed were:
Screeing on North side of property
Building angle - Tingewood preferred different angle but had to do it the
way shown on the plan to meet the 50' setback.
~
Drainage - Tingewood has talked to Tom Thumb about using their back area
to aid in directing the drainage. Tom Thumb, according to Tingewood, was
agreeable to the idea.

MEMORANDUM
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRAD NIELSEN
DATE: 30 MARCH 1984
RE: HINKLEY, THOMAS - SIMPLE SUBDIVISION
FILE NO.: 405 (84.07)
Mr. Thomas Hinkley is the owner of a small apartment building located at
24530 Smithtown Road (see Site Location map, Exhibit A). The property is
currently zoned C-3, General Commercial. A recent property survey,
shown as Exhibit B of this report, revealed that his building encroaches
onto the lot which borders it on the north and east. The owner of the
adjoining property has agreed to convey 15 feet of his property to
Mr. Hinkley so that the boundary line will no longer cut through the
building.
Shorewood's "simple subdivision" prov1.s1.ons are intended primarily for
situations such as Mr. Hinkley's, where adjustment of property lines is
necessary. Although the property in question will still be a bit smaller
than current zoning would allow, the nonconformity is being decreased and
the additional 15 feet will provide the existing building with a
conforming rear yard setback.
It is suggested that the Planning Commission should recommend that the
simple subdivision be approved subject to the applicant submitting new
legal descriptions for the two properties. Also,within 30 days of
receipt of the Council resolution approving the division, the applicant
should demonstrate that the division and recombination has been recorded
with the County.

Re: Howard E. Shenehon and Mary Goodlund
Shady Island Properties
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On November 14, 1983 the City Council on a vote of 5 Nays
and 0 Yeas disapproved a request by my clients, Howard E.
Shenehon and Mary Goodlund, to subdivide property jointly
owned by them and located on Shady Island into three
equal size lots of 18,783 square feet. The request had
previously been heard at a public hearing held by the
Shorewood Planning Commission and was approved on a
4 to 3 vote.
The property 1n question 1S legally described as:
The westerly 50 feet of Lot 17, all
of Lots 18, 19, and 20 Shady Island.
The parcel contains 56,381 square feet of land, and has
320 feet of Minnetonka lakeshore. At present there is
a small cottage on Lot 19. The property was platted prior
to the existence of the City of Shorewood and is served by
a platted street 15 feet in width. The three full sized
platted lots plus part of 17 have square footage as follows:
Approximate Square Feet
Lot 20
20,000
13.,380
23,000
56,380
Lot 18 and part of 17

The property is located in the R-l zone which requires
40,000 square feet as a minimum size lot in order to use
the same as a building site. All lots on this island
are currently served with municipal sewer; this partic-
ular property has been assessed for two sewer assessments.
My clients inherited the property from their father who
purchased the property prior to the incorporation of the
City of Shorewood and prior to the passage of any zoning
ordinance which might apply to this property. It is their
desire to use their inheritance by dividing the property
into three buildable parcels, sell one and each build or
use the remaining lots for their respective purposes.
We are again bringing this matter before the City Council
to ask for council approval to authorize a division of the
property into three lots as originally platted plus the
addition of part of Lot 17 to Lot 18 - all as follows:
Parcel One: Lot 18 & Westerly 50 feet of
17 Shady Island
Parcel Two: Lot 19 Shady Island
Parcel Three: Lot 20 Shady Island
We are not asking for subdivision, nor for var~ances.
Having set out the background in this matter and our present
request, we ask your indulgence in permitting us to present
to you our position to support this request.
We are familiar with the section 10 subd. 2, which reads
~n part as follows:
If two or more lots or combinations of lots and
portions of lots with continuous fronta~e in
single ownership are of record at the t~me of
passage or amendment of this Ordinance, and if
all or part of the lots do not meet the require-
ments for lot width and area as established by
this Ordinance, the lands involved shall be con-
.
.
WILLIAM F. KELLY AND ASSOCIATES, ATTORNEYS
-3-
considered to be an undivided parcel for the pur-
poses of this Ordinance, and no portion of
said parcel shall be used or sold which does
not meet lot and width and area requirements
established by this Ordinance, nor shall any
division of the parcel be made which leaves
remainin~ any lot with width or area below
the requlrements stated in this ordinance.
It is our opinion that the above provision has validity o~ly
if the section of the ordinance setting the minimum lot Slze
to which property must conform has validity and has been fol-
lowed and equally enforced against all similarly situated
properties. Based on facts applicable to this property, the
enforcement of the 40,000 square foot minimum is, in our
opinion, an arbitrary and capricious exercise of the zoning
power and one which has in the past not been even-handedly
enforced against similar properties.
A zoning classification, including lot size, will generally
be upheld and presumed valid if it bears a substantial re-
lation to public health, safety, comfort and public welfare.
There must always be a reasonable basis upon which to re-
quire a restriction such as a 40,000 square foot lot mini-
mum, or the restriction will fail and the presumption of
validity will also fail.
The city planner supplied the Planning Commission and the
Council with his analysis and recommendation on the original
request. He pointed out that my clients are faced with high
real estate taxes on a parcel with 320 feet of lakeshore.
It should be added that such a tax burden on an arbitrarily
large parcel of lakeshore residential property reduces the
value of the property to its detriment without a correspond-
ing public benefit resulting from such a limitation. This
is true when surrounding properties are all of a smaller
size and the restricting limitation has not been enforced
against similar dimension reduction requests. Even though
economic considerations alone do not justify variances
they do come into play when the public welfare requirement
.
.
WILLIAM F. KELLY AND ASSOCIATES, ATTORNEYS

and need is compared to the resulting economic loss imposed
due to the limitation. If there can be found no reasonable
basis to impose such economic loss, the restriction limita-
tion (40,000 square feet) will fall.
The planner recognizes this fundamental limitation when he
said to the Council in his report:
"However, a lot size analysis of Shady Island
suggests that the existing zoning is inappropriate."
He goes on to say that the current Comprehensive Plan recog-
nized this and
"designated land use for the island as one
to two units per acre."
The previous Comprehensive Plan for the island which was also
adopted by the Council approved l~ to 3 units per acre for
the island.
No prior Council looking at the island within the past sev-
eral years considered 40,000 feet an appropriate lot minimum
to which land owners must be held to comply.
In 1974 when the Shorewood Council spread a sewer assessment
against this particular property, it required the property to
pay for two sewer assessments; this assessment carries with it
the right to hook up two residential houses to the city sewer
lines. It too recognIZed the inappropriateness of the 40,000
square feet minimum.
This Council has frequently ignored its claimed m~n~mum and
authorized lot separations without regard to zoning limitations.
On Shady Island it permitted lots 38, part of 39, lot 37 and
lot 36 Shady Island to be broken off into three lots, result-
ing in lot 36 being established as a separate building site
of 22,600 square feet and lot 37 one of 19,900 square feet.
Both of these newly created lots compare equally with two of
the proposed lots my clients are asking to be approved. In
addition, lots 4 and 5, Shady Island, were authorized to be
divided creating lots of 24,000 and 16,000 respectively.
.
.
WILUAM F. KELLY AND ASSOCIATES, ATTORNEYS
-5-
Lot 33 was permitted to be divided into 3 parts creating lots
of 26,000 and 17,000 square feet. In addition, the same policy
has been followed for property divisions on Enchanted Island.
The comprehensive plan recognizes the arbitrariness of R-l
40,000 square feet lot zoning. It states lots on the islands
are as small as 15,000 square feet -- actually they are small
as 10,000 to 12,000 square feet. As pointed out in the plan,
these islands "orient strongly toward Spring Park - Mound
area", a small lot area. If 40,000 square feet has any val-
idity, it has so only on the mainland.
This Council by its pr10r acts has shown that it agrees with
us: that a 40,000 square foot minimum is not a reasonable
exercise of its zoning authority on Shady Island. The Council
certainly must have looked at the area - the existing lot sizes,
its approved Comprehensive Plans, its sewer system, the area's
recreational facilities when it previously determined not to
comply with its own ordinance. It must have considered that
such a provision was not needed to preserve the character of
the neighborhood or to stabilize property values or it would
not have acted as it did in the past.
Nor do we think this Council would permit the shape of older
platted lots to affect the right to use the same for building
sites; such a policy does not correlate with older lot plat-
tings in the city which this Council has in the past authorized
to be developed as single family residences, particularly those
adjacent to the water. A look at the city plats will disclose
lots are not 100 x 250 or 200 x 400; they come in all sizes
and shapes and have been made into quality lake shore home-
sites. To claim dimension as a basis for declining to ap-
prove this division would be truly unjust and unreasonable.
The same is true of the size or width of the platted street
serving this property. There are streets and roads in this
city - public and private - which are from 15 to 20 feet in
width serving far more than three properties. Certain of
such streets serve some of the more desirable and expensive
home sites in the city. The width of the access road has
never in the past deterred this Council from granting build-
ing permits or lot divisions of property served by 15 foot
roads.
"

WILLIAM F. KELLY AND ASSOCIATES, ATTORNEYS

We feel that this Council desires to treat all property
owners in the area and in the city in a similar and equal
fashion - that only the lack of correct information re-
sulted in the adoption of resolution 91-83.
We ask the Council to approve the division of the subject,
property along previously platted lot lines as set out
herein - that is, into three parcels of buildable property
as follows:
Parcel 1 Lot 18 and the westerly 50 feet
of 17 Shady Island
Parcel 2 Lot 19 Shady Island
Parcel 3 Lot 20 Shady Island

MEMORANDUM
TO: PLANNING COMMISSIO~,MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRAD NIELSEN
DATE: 30 MARCH 1984
RE: TRIVESCO - PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
FILE NO.: 405 (84.05)
Enclosed please find plans for the proposed development of approximately
107 acres located between Highway 7 and Covington Road, west of
Vine Hill Road (see Site Location map - Exhibit A, attached).
Mr. John Uban, representing Trivesco, Inc., will make the preapplication
stage presentation of a Comprehensive Plan amendment at the 3 April
Planning Commission meeting.
In brief the developer is proposing 9 acres of commercial property
adjacent to the south service road of Highway 7, 160 units of multiple
family residential south of the commercial, and 93 single family lots
on the remaining 62 acres. A more detailed explanation of the proposal
is contained in a memo from the applicant dated March 1984 (Exhibit Bl-4,
attached) .
Given the size of the proposal it is suggested that the Planning
Commission carefully review the Comprehensive Plan prior to the 3 April
meeting. Initial staff review suggests that in spite of higher intensity
use on the northerly portion of the site, th€ overall concept is
consistent with the planning principles set forth in the Comprehensive
Plan.
It is worth noting that the proposed circulation pattern for the project,
particularly the collector street and the new intersection on Highway 7,
is consistent w.ith recent staff proposals for the area.

SHOREWOOD PUD AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
MARCH 1984
by TRIVESCO
1. CONCEPT DESCRIPTION
We propose a tier of land uses starting with the area immediately adjacent
to Highway 7 and the Mini-storage area (to the east). Using the frontage
road system a.long Highway 7 ,as commerc ial access, we think that a high
quality commercial area would be appropriate. To help facilitate the
traffic movements we propose a new intersection with Highway 7 at the
northwest corner of the property. This will also greatly reduce the traffic
movements at the dangerous Vine Hill intersection.
The commercial uses we contemplate at this time are: restaurants, retail,
professional service, office, and supermarket with gas service. There will
be a design framework manual controlling all aspects of the development
providing consistancy and high quality. The overall criteria will create a
strong residential character to all portions of the proposed PUD.
Adjacent to and south of the commercial area, we propose a multiple family
area as a transition and buffer to the remainder of the property. The
buildings will reflect the exclusive style of architecture proposed for the
single family area. There will be access directly to the Highway 7
intersection eliminating the multiple family traffic from other residential
areas. Additionally, a buffering open space and park trail on the east
will separate this area from Shady Hills Road.
The remainder of the property will be developed as single family lots of
approximately 20,000 square feet. From the Highway 7 intersection a
collector road will run along the western edge of the property "teeing"
into Covington Road at the southwest corner of the property. Because of
the hilly terrain several cul-de-sacs are used to best develop the area
without extensive grading. A connecting east-west road will connect to
Vine Hill Road crossing a seasonal creek. We propose a small pond at this
crossing with a mill run. The access and lot development are difficult at
Vine Hill Road. We will provide a cul-de-sac for the property to the north,
but also request that the northeast cul-de-sac of Covington Vine Ridge
development be extended to serve a few of our lots eliminating the need for
direct access driveways onto the steep Vine Hill Road.
For public use we propose a completely developed neighborhood park nestled
between two hills in the southern portion of the development. The park
will include a combination hockey rink and sand lot, open ball field, small
winter pond (with hydrant for water), two tennis courts, and gazebo with
play structure. In addition a trail corridor will connect to the Highway 7
frontage road for pedestrian access from adjoining neighborhoods and the
multi-family area.

MEMORANDUM
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRAD NIELSEN
DATE: 30 MARCH 1984
RE: JUMAR MOTOR HOME RENTAL - PROPOSED REZONING
FILE NO.: 405 (84.08)
BACKGROUND
As explained in the attached (Exhibit B, attached) memo, Marvin and
Judy Janicke are considering the purchase of the home now owned by
Jim Borchert, 5580 County Road 19 (see Site Location map - Exhibit A,
attached). They propose to live in the existing house and also use
the property for their motor home rental business. Exhibit C contains
a sketch plan showing the proposed layout of the site.
The property is approximately an acre in size and is currently zoned
R-4, Multiple Family Residential. Surrounding land use and zoning
are as follows:
North and West - undeveloped, zoned R-4 (an 18 unit apartment
building was approved for the site but has not been
built).
South - vacant single family residence, zoned C-3, General
Commercial (Concept Stage approval has been granted for a
39 unit condominium building - see Shorewood Condominiums).
East shopping center across County Road 19 in Tonka Bay,
zoned Commercial.
The Janicke's proposal will require changing the zoning of the property
to some commercial district. Since outdoor rental is not specifically
listed as a permitted, accessory or conditional use in any of our
existing commercial districts, the request will undoubtedly also involve
an amendment to the text of the Ordinance and possibly a conditional
use permit. Since the peak season for their business is fast approach-
ing, they have asked to present their proposal to the Planning
Commission and Council on an informal basis at this time. It is hoped
A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore
qtL
.
MEMO FR~HE PLANNER

that they can receive some direction from the City as to the
acceptance of their proposal prior to filing a formal rezoning/
text amendment/C. D.P. application. Although they have been advised
that a firm commitment from the City is unlikely without a formal
application, they hope to be able to receive enough input to
determine whether the proposal is worth pursuing or whether they
should look for another site.
ANALYSIS/RECOMMENDATION
As in any request for a change in land use, a number of issues must
be considered in the decision-making process. At this stage of the
request the issues can be boiled down to two primary questions:
1) Is the proposed use generally acceptable for the site and area
for which it is proposed?, and 2) If rezoned to accommodate the
proposal, are other uses which would be allowed by the new zoning
district appropriate for the site and area? It is highly possible
that although a specific proposal may, in itself, be a reasonable use
of property, the necessary zoning may not be acceptable.
The current Zoning Ordinance does not specifically address outdoor
rental in any district. As such the proposal would require an
amendment to the text, in addition to a rezoning. Section 200.20
Subdivision 4.e. (pg. 111-27) of the new Zoning Ordinance does allow
"open or outdoor service, sale and rental as a principal or accessory
use..." under certain specific conditions. The question is whether or
not other uses in the C-2 District would be acceptable. It is suggested
that City officials consider the uses allowed by both the existing and
proposed ordinances in reviewing the Jumar proposal.
Another possibility to consider is whether or not a lesser commercial
district, either the R-C or C-1, could be amended to accommodate the
use. Worth noting is that the C-1 District was recently amended to
allow rental storage as a conditional use, but only when totally
enclosed within a structure.
A final consideration is the mixture of commercial and residential
activity. This has been addressed recently in three various requests:
1) Minnesota Mini-Storage (see Tex-Sota rezoning'and C.D.P.);
2) Shorewood Nursery; and 3) Rapid Oil conditional use permit.
The Janicke's proposal is in line with the Planning Commission's
recommendation on all three requests - to allow one residential unit
only when accessory to some other principal use, and only when the
unit is occupied by the owner or an employee of the business.
As previously mentioned no specific decision can be made until a formal
application has been made. However, the applicants should be given
some idea as to whether or not their proposal is worth pursuing.

5580 County Road 19 Shorewood
JUMAR Motor Home Rental is a family owned and operated business
that leases class "A" luxury motor homes to vacationers. We have been in
operation for one year. During that year, the business operated in Minnesota
from May to October and then moved to Orlando Florida from November to
May 1984. We intend to continue this practice. We pride ourselves on our
personal service. Our clientele consists primarily of families. We do
not now, nor intend to start selling any parts or vehicles. Our intention
is to continue to purchase new units, keeping them approximately four years.
The provides continuity and keeps the luxury image.
We have made an offer on the home of Mr and Mrs Jim Borchert
5580 County Road 19 in Shorewood. The purpose of purchasing this home
is to allow us to operate our business and reside at the same address,
saving us both time and money. We are asking for a conditional use permit
or a rezoning of this property to facilitate same. We would like to
present the points on which we would appreciate your consideration.
Use of yard space - We plan to resurface the existing driveway
and add a driveway to a parking pad on the south side of the
property which will be either asphalt or crushed rock to accomo-
date three motor homes. The north side of the driveway would
be utilized at a later date after careful planning. Natural
drainage would be maintained or drain tile installed. Eventually
this space could accomodate five motor homes. Our business
plan includes three units in 1984, five units in 1986 and a total
of eight units by 1991. We have been informed that the ground
on the south side is well compacted and should not create any
drainage problems. Parking space for four customer cars would
be available, though normally no more than one would be needed.

DESCRIPTION OF p~QUEsr
.
.
landscape live trees, shrubs and bushes now existing would be
maintained on all sides of the property. Additional planting
to allow for privacy and to maintain a residential atmosphere
would be done after we see how thick the current growth is. The
appearance from County Road 19 would be basically the same,
a large expanse of front lawn and a well kept home.
Fence The pool and back yard would be fenced as per code.
Material used would be a cedar off set board fence similar
to the one existing. This would be done immediately.
Office What is currently the family room would become an
office. It allows entry without entering the house allowing
us to maintain a normal family living pattern. It is not
visible from the street, but at the back of the house.
Garage The only planned structural change would be an addition
of approximately three feet to the height of the garage and to
build forward approximately four feet to facilitate the installation
of an 111 garage overhead garage door. Our plan is that this
would transpire in approximately two years. This would allow
us to change oil and clean the vehicles out of the weather.
NO MECHANICAL WORK would be done on the premisis. No change
will be made to the house itself. It will be our home and
we will be living in it.
Signing We are asking for a wooden sign approximately 3x5
with routed letters similar to the sign that Shorewood
Nursery has be allowed on the property adjacent to County
Road 19.
~,~
.
.
Timing If business continues at the rate we anticipate the
units will seldom be on the premises. They will be in Florida
from November to May. Average summer rental is seven to ten
days. Last year we allowed two days between rental to clean
and service the unit. This means that the units are actually
on the site a minimum amount of days.
The majority of our business is done by telephone.
A few families come to look before renting, but if they do
an appointment would be made and we try to allow time for
negotiations, so it would be unlikely that two parties would
be on site at one time. By working by telephone and mail, we
feel that the traffic pattern created by our business would not
create a problem for Shorewood.
We will be living in this beautiful house and making it our home.
Our business is based on personal service. The cozy office, large
expanse of lawn, trees and landscaping would create the atmosphere
that we choose to convey. We wouldn't want to change our image
or jepardize our relationship with the community by changing or
adding anything that would detract.
We would appreciate your consideration. If there are further
questions, please call Judy at work 474-0844 or we are home
after 5 472-1318.
Thank you

BMX TRACK
Gary Carl introduced Mr. David Ronken of Northstar BMX to the Commission and
informed them that Mr. Ronken will be taking over the BMX track for this year.
Commissioner Schmid said he thought the SLMPSD Reserve was taking it over. Gary
said that the Reserve was not interested this year.

It will be run as a non-profit organization continuing under the title
"Shorewood BMX". Mr. Ronkin will run it, Gary will work with him in an advisory
position. The contract will be the same. The insurance will be improved, covering
the track even on no race days, a time previously covered by the City of Shorewood.
The track will be maintained during and between races by approximately five (5)
people in return for free entry fees. Satellites will follow same pattern as
last year.
Commissioner Lindstrom brought up the noise factor and asked for clarification
before it is approved by Park Commission and Council. He also objected to the
method of a running commentary all through each race, giving all the names of the
riders, etc., stating that they don't do this in other sports.
Gary proposed a compromise:
1. Cutting down to one speaker.
2. Lowering the speaker.
3. Cutting down the volume.

BMX Track, continued
Mr. Ronken explained that unlike other sports, BMX racing is a new sport that deals
on individual, rather than team effort. He said that the races move very fast,
and this method of announcing is necessary for this sport. He said he would
cooperate every way possible concerning the noise factor, but if they were not
allowed to announce the kid's names, he felt it would detract from the excitement
and would have to withdraw his offer.
Con Schmid moved, Carol Butterfield seconded, to recommend to Council that David
Ronken of Northstar BMX, with Gary Carl advising, be allowed to sign the regular
BMX contract, contingent upon the agreement that if there are any complaints after
the first race, the issue will be brought back before the Park Commission for
review. Motion carried unanimously.
FESTIVAL OF PARKS
Gordon Lindstrom moved, Mari Kooi seconded, to recommend to Council to approve the
amount of $700.00 for Festival of Parks expenses. Motion carried unanimously.
SHOREWOOD OAKS
Park Commission reviewed new design alternatives presented by Shorewood Oaks
showing open space. Park Commission felt that, as they had stated before, due to
the near proximity to Freeman Park, they do not require additional land and will
not consider it as park dedication. Therefore, a full cash dedication to be used
for the improvement of Freeman Park is requested.
The Commission suggests that the open space could be provided as private open space
to be owned and maintained by the homeowner's association.
COVINGTON VINE RIDGE TRAIL
Planner Nielsen presented a map showing the connecting trail system for the southeast
area of Shorewood. The map covered the Covington Vine Ridge, Trivesco and Near
Mountain projects, showing that the trails will connect nicely, running from
Chanhassen all the way to Highway 7, also branching off to the observation platforms
proposed by Near Mountain on Silver Lake.
Surfacing of trails was discussed. Planner Nielsen said Near Mountain had proposed
a hard surface bike trail. Covington Vine Ridge will have a 20 foot easement that
will run through a wetlands area. Planner Nielsen suggested that the Commission
walk the proposed trail area, giving them an idea of what type of surfacing will
be feasible, and also to see what would be needed in the way of grading, considering
the possibility of the developer doing the necessary grading.
Commission also discussed the possibility of someday connecting a trail across
Highway 7 to run up past Carmichaels to Manor Park, then connecting into trail to
eventually connect with Thorpe. Crossing Highway 7 was discussed, possibly using
the newly proposed intersection in the Broms Market area.

PROPOSED PARK - TRIVESCO
Planner Brad Nielsen told Commission that he had talked to Mr. Wallace Dayton about
the possibility of using his property as a park. Brad said Mr. Dayton liked the
idea of having his land used as a park, but that he would expect to be paid for the
land. Brad referred Mr. Steiner of Trivesco to Mr. Dayton.
Planner Nielsen has talked to both Mr. Steiner and John Uban from Trivesco. They
feel that they have extended themselves about as far as they can with the three
parcels they've bought and would prefer to have the City purchase the property.
Commissioner Carl stated that he felt the fewer people involved in dealing with
Mr. Dayton at this time, the better it would be and suggested that the Park
Commission keep out of it for the present and allow Planner Nielsen to deal with
Mr. Dayton, as he has already met with him. Commission asked Planner Nielsen to
find out:
1. What Mr. Dayton's land is worth and how much he wants for it.
2. If there is any chance of Trivesco buying it.
3. Approximately how much will there be in dedication fees from Trivesco,
Covington Vine Ridge, and Near Mountain.
4. Would Mr. Dayton consider a Contract for Deed, and if so, for how long.
After they receive this information the Commission will have a better idea of how
to approach the situation, depending on the price and terms.
Commission wondered, in terms of development fees, how fast things would progress.
Planner Nielsen said he felt that two issues could spur development, 1) the
intersection, and 2) water.
Planner Nielsen said Mr. Dayton will be out of the country for about
will write a letter to him so it will be there when he arrives home.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: BRAD NIELSEN
DATE: 30 MARCH 1984
RE: SHOREWOOD OAKS - COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
FILE NO.: 405 (84.03)
At the 6 March Planning Commission meeting, Mr. Geoff Martin presented a
proposal for a project called Shorewood Oaks. The presentation was part
of the preapplication stage of a Comprehensive Plan amendment. Based
upon input from Planning Commission members at the meeting, Mr. Martin
has submitted two alternative designs for the project, both of which
result in a lower density than originally proposed and both of which
offer a small park within the project. The alternative designs,
described in written and graphic form, are contained in the attached
letter from Mr. Martin, dated 21 March 1984.
It should be noted that when the applicant met with City staff, he was
advised that due to the project's proximity to Freeman Park, the City
would likely require a cash donation rather than land dedication for
park purposes. It was felt that the City already had more than enough
land in Freeman Park to serve the open space needs of the adjoining area
as well as the entire community. The staff felt that what is needed is
the money to develop the park. To require additional land, particularly
so close to existing park space, would only delay the development of the
existing facility. This position was upheld by the Park Commission when
the applicant met with them.
Since parks and open space proposals are subject to review and recommenda-
tion by the Parks Commission, the new design alternatives are being referred
to them on 2 April prior to the Planning Commission meeting the next
evening.

CITY OF SHOREWOOD

Shorewood, Minnesota 55331
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Shorewood Oaks Development, Inc. I would like to thank you
for reviewing our proposal at the 6 Harch 1984 Planning Commission meeting.
The general recommendations made by the Commissioners that evening are
summarized below:
1. Create more open space;
2. Reduce density;
3. Introduce a pond; and
4. Incorporate a 50 foot right~of~way.
In addition to the original development plan, two more alternative plans
have been submitted for sketch plan review. With the exception of a pond,
the two alternatives incorporate the recommendations of the Planning
Commission and accomplish the main objective of the developer which is to
create a high quality, marketable housing deyelopment.
Development Plan A
Plan A is the original development plan which was reviewed on 6 Harch.
Development Plan B
Plan B incorporates an internal open space with pathways connecting to
Freeman Park. The internal park is situated to maximize tree
preservation, and visual and pedestrian access from surrounding
residents.
The total number of lots has decreased from 135 as proposed in
Development Plan A to 125 lots in Development Plan B.
Honorable Mayor, Members of the
City Council, Planning Commission and Staff
CITY OF SHOREWOOD
21 March 1984
Page 2
Development Plan C
In addition to the internal park as proposed in Plan B, townhouses
have also been included in Plan C.. The townhouse clusters have
been located to the east along Freeman Park ina manner which will
minimize the impacts posed by the BMX Course and baseball fields
to the east. Larger stands of trees and an increase in open space
will also result from incorporating the townhouse clusters~
The overall number of dwelling units and gross density is the same
as proposed in Plan B.
If the City determines that an internal open space should be incorporated
into the final plan, we believe this should be taken into consideration
when determining park dedication responsibilities.
The three alternative plans have been designed under the assumption that
the City of Shorewood will adopt a policy of growth, and that policies
regarding higher densities and city services will be established at the
-7 April 1984 policy meeting. We look forward to arriving at a plan which
meets both the objectives of the City and the developer in a timely and
collaborative manner.

The City of Shorewood
City Council and Planning Commission
RE: COVINGTON VINE RIDGE, A PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
Covington Vine Ridge is the name given an area of approximately
42 acres located on the Northwest corner of Covington Road and Vine
Hill in Shorewood, Minnesota.
The legal description is as follows:
Commencing at a point in east line of southeast quarter of northeast
quarter distance 243.39 feet north from southeast corner thereof
thence west at right angles from said east line to a point of inter-
section with west line of east 350.34 feet thereof and point of
beginning thence continuing west along last described line to its
intersection with west line of east 570.34 feet thereof thence south
parallel with said east line to center line of town road thence north-
westerly along said center line to its intersection with west line of
southeast quarter of northeast quarter thence north to northwest
corner thereof thence east to northeast corner thereof thence south to
a point in east line thereof distance 384 feet north from southeast
quarter thereof thence west at right angles from said east line 103
feet thence south parallel with east line distance 50 feet thence east
at right angles to said east line thence south to center line of said
town road thence northwesterly along said center line to its inter-
section with southerly extension of said west line of east 350.34 feet
of southeast quarter of northeast quarter thence north to beginning
except roads. Unplatted in Section 36, Township 117, Range 23.
The approximate 42 acres were owned by Agnes T. Sommer from 1947
until her death in 1973. The land then passed into the hands of her
son, Robert F. Sommer.
An inheritance of this type can be both a blessing and a severe
liability. Robert Sommer is a man of modest means. Because of the
substantial additional tax burden, he sought a way to develop the land
City of Shorewood
City Council and Planning Commission
Covington Vine Ridge
January 23, 1984
Page 2
in a suitable and tasteful way. In order to support that effort, he
gained the assistance of his aunt, Sigfrid Sommer Canton, his cousins,
Eric and Rolf Canton, and his friend Terry O'Sullivan. These individ-
uals have simply sought to help Robert Sommer avoid losing the land
because of an inability to pay the tax burden. None of these individ-
uals is a professional developer. The guidance and involvement of a
team of development professionals would be sought at an appropriate
time.
The land of Covington Vine Ridge is rolling, partly wooded,
graced with rustic wetland, pleasant knolls, and a broad ridge that
offers a variety of views. The preliminary development plan shows
varied lot
locations, shapes, and sizes to permit the most aesthetic treatment of
the land.
The Covington Vine Ridge Group has outlined the following goals:
As spokesman for the Covington Vine Ridge Group, Eric P. Canton
outlines these Development Goals:
1" Quality Single Family Homes.
2. An Affordable Land/Structure Package.
3. A Phased Development.
4. Home Construction Beginning in 1984.
5. Density to be concentrated "within."
6. Preservation of Woodland Buffers.
7. Preservation of Wetlands.
8. A Project Reflecting the Good Taste and Standards of
Shorewood.
City of Shorewood
City Council and Planning Commission
Covington Vine Ridge
January 23. 1984
Page 3
In brief. the following points reflect the features of the
Covington Vine Ridge plan:
1. Approximately 42 Acres.
2. 64 Lots (Minimum lot size is 10.000 square feet)
3. Gross Density prox. 1.5 Dwelling Units/Acre
4. Net Density (excluding public road rights of way and
designated wetlands) 2.64 Dwelling Units/Acre on net
land mass of prox. 24.2 Acres.
WHAT IS THE COVINGTON VINE RIDGE GROUP'S REQUEST?
We respectfully request a Comprehensive Plan Ammendment to allow for
the greater density and smaller lots shown on our proposed plan. Our
proposed Planned Unit Development for Covington Vine Ridge permits us
to hold development costs per lot to a minimum. The reduced costs per
lot permit the eventual homeowner to afford as much home as possible
on aesthetically pleasing land.
Thank you for your attention and consideration.

COVINGTON VINE RIDGE COVENANTS FOR QUALITY
A clearly avowed goal of the Covington Vine Ridge Group is the
creation of modest, yet creatively designed shelters built on
affordable land. The Group recognizes that certain stipulations will
be met if this goal is to be reached.
The builder or builders will be required to submit architectural
renderings to an Architectural Design Review Board. The exterior
materials list must be furnished so that a clear understanding of the
quality of the materials exists prior to approval.
The Covington Vine Ridge Architectural Design Review Board will
retain the right to review all outside improvements covering
additional buildings, fencing, landscaping, and the location of the
house on the individual lot.
All driveways must be blacktopped or better finished surfaces.
No rock, gravel or other "unfinished" surface is acceptable.
Affordability often requires that certain interior finishing be
left to the homebuyer. Thus, lower levels may be incomplete in
aesthetic finishes.
The Architectural Design Review Committee will be comprised of
three individuals appointed by the Covington Vine Ridge Group. One
individual shall be appointed chairman, and that chairman shall be
responsible for calling meetings at appropriate times to review data
submitted.
At least fourteen days before construction begins, the owner
shall submit to the Board one complete set of plans and specifications
(including, without limitation, full site plans, exterior colors, and
materials). The Board agrees to review and approve or disapprove the
plans and specifications in writing within fourteen days of receipt.
The Board will require evidence of credit worthiness on the part
of the builder in order to ensure completion of the project according
to the specifications in a timely manner.
Covington Vine Ridge Covenants For Quality
Page 2
The Board's determinations concerning the plans and
specifications shall be conclusive. If the board disapproves the
builder and/or the plans and specifications, it shall state in writing
the reasons for said disapproval and any deficiencies in the plans or
specifications which may be ammended in order to obtain approval.
No noxious or offensive trade or activity shall be carried on nor
upon any lot, nor shall anything be done thereon which may be or
become an annoyance or nuisance to the neighborhood. No structure of
a temporary character, trailer, basement, tent, shack, garage, barn,
or other outbuilding shall be used on any lot at any time as a
residence either temporarily or permanently. No boat, trailer, or
recreational vehicle may be stored on any lot unless completely
enclosed in garage or accessory structure. No animals, livestock, or
poultry of any kinds shall be raised, bred or kept on the property,
except that dogs, cats and other household pets may be kept, provided
that they are not kept, bred, or maintained for any commercial
purposes. No more than two cats and/or dogs shall be kept by the
owners of any lot at anyone time. No lot shall be used or maintained
as a dumping ground for rubbish, except during construction of
subdivision improvements and dwellings. Trash, garbage or other
waster shall be kept except in sanitary containers. All incinerators
or other equipment for storage or disposal of such material shall be
kept in a clean and sanitary condition. No sign of any kind shall be
displayed to the public view on any lot except as follows: A)
Subdivision identifying entrance monuments may be installed by the
Developer. B) During the initial construction and sales period of
the subdivision the Developer may place such directional and
subdivision advertising signs as are permitted by ordinance, and one
sign no larger than 3 feet by 4 feet in size are permitted on lots
having dwellings advertised as model homes.

or other outbuilding shall be used on any lot at any time as a
residence either temporarily or permanently. No boat, trailer, or
recreational vehicle may be stored on any lot unless completely
enclosed in garage or accessory structure. No animals, livestock, or
poultry of any kinds shall be raised, bred or kept on the property,
except that dogs, cats and other household pets may be kept, provided
that they are not kept, bred, or maintained for any commercial
purposes. No more than two cats and/or dogs shall be kept by the
owners of any lot at anyone time. No lot shall be used or maintained
as a dumping ground for rubbish, except during construction of
subdivision improvements and dwellings. Trash, garbage or other
waster shall be kept except in sanitary containers. All incinerators
or other equipment for storage or disposal of such material shall be
kept in a clean and sanitary condition. No sign of any kind shall be
displayed to the public view on any lot except as follows: A)
Subdivision identifying entrance monuments may be installed by the
Developer. B) During the initial construction and sales period of
the subdivision the Developer may place such directional and
subdivision advertising signs as are permitted by ordinance, and one
sign no larger than 3 feet by 4 feet in size are permitted on lots
having dwellings advertised as model homes.

Page 3
C) After the initial construction and sales period one sign of not
more than 2.5 feet in size advertising the lot for sale is permitted.
No sod, soil, sand or gravel shall be sold or removed from any lot,
except for the purpose of excavating for the construction or
alteration of a residence on said premises or appurtenances thereto,
or for the proper grading thereof, or for landscaping, or for road
improvement.
The Covington Vine Ridge Group recognizes that additional
information and a detailed registered Declaration Of Covenants,
Conditions, Restrictions, and Reservations will be submitted for
ultimate development approval.
COVINGTON VINE RIDGE EVALUATION FOR TAX PURPOSES
The existing taxes on the approximate 42 acres amount to
$8,049.29 in 1983. If one assumes that 20% of that collected tax
revenue flows to the City of Shorewood, the net revenues to Shorewood
amount to $1,609.86.
According to information gathered from the county, the Covington
Vine Ridge Group's proposal for 64 lots would generate the following
in tax revenues: the assumption is that the combined lot and
structure value would average $90,000, and the tax would be $2,107.05.
The net collected taxes after applying the $650.00 Homestead Credit
would be $1,457.57.
If all 64 homes were built in accordance with our proposals on
this average cost and tax revenues basis the gross tax revenues would
be $93,284.48. Shorewood's 20% share of those revenues would then be
$18,656.90 per year on the 1983 basis.
The Covington Vine Ridge Group sincerely believes that the
affordable land/structure package proposed would permit the property
to be built out in a period of two to three years. If present zoning
is sustained, it is unlikely that the property will be developed at
all because of the nature of the property and its relative lack of
desireability for homes costing much more in a less dense environment.
The Covington Vine Ridge Group's goal of tasteful yet affordable
housing represents a clearly more predictable increase in tax revenues
flowing to the City of Shorewood than is presently the case.
PROVIDING WATER TO THE COVINGTON VINE RIDGE DEVELOPMENT
The Covington Vine Ridge Group recognizes that several options
exist to provide water to the proposed Planned Unit Development. The
Group has no clear understanding at this time as to what is
preferable, not only for the relatively modest sized development
represented in this proposal, but for the larger surrounding area.
Therefore, the Group chooses to submit the following four options, and
it requests further guidance from the City of Shorewood as to the
appropriate direction to take to furnish water to the residents of
Covington Vine Ridge.
1. No central well, all wells would be private.
2. A small well and lateral system with the capacity of perhaps
250 gallons per minute that would be one half of a well doublet in
effect, and would be used by this area only. There would be a future
possibility of tying this system into a larger system for surrounding
developments. This option would provide for a system that then could
be a backup system for the surrounding area and the entire southeast
corner of the City of Shorewood.
3. Laterals connecting our Covington Vine Ridge Development to the
Minnetonka Water System.
4. The designing and building of a major system for the entire
area with perhaps 1,000 gallon capacity or greater. This would have
to be planned to allow the system to be turned over to the city and a
timely payback to the developer.
Case No.
