This plaza is a gift to the City through the Shorewood Parks Foundation and was made possible entirely by generous donations to the Foundation. This project was championed by the Friends of Chris Garibaldi who were determined to ensure its completion as a tribute to his life. The dedication will immediately precede the first concert of the 2005 Freeman Park Music in the Park concert series. Your tax - deductible donations to the Shorewood Parks Foundation help the City provide special events such as these. Donations can be mailed to the Shorewood Parks Foundation, P.O. Box 275, Excelsior, MN 55331, or dropped off at City Hall. 55 Spring and Summer Brings Street Repair W ith the strange weather we have had the last few years, roads are taking a beating. Regular sealcoatin of local streets helps keep this damage to a minimum. Sealcoating is a surface treatment that seals existing pavement. During the sealcoating of streets, drivers should drive slowly, being careful not to spin their tires. After a period of time, the excess rock is swept away, leaving the new, protected surface. A list of streets to be sealcoated this summer is available on the City web site. Residents along those streets will be notified by letter prior to their street being sealcoated. If you have any questions about the sealcoating process, please contact the Public Works Department, 952/474-6191. b� � 2 Keep Your Fire Hydrant Clear! I F YOU HAVE A FIRE HYDRANT in your yard, please make sure you keep any bushes, large rocks, and other landscaping items a minimum of three feet from the hydrant. Fire fighters must access the hydrant quickly in case of a fire, and some landscaping not only slows down the process, but might completely prohibit the use of the hydrant. Fire fighters and city public works crews will remove these landscaping items when necessary. If you question whether or not your landscaping is blocking the hydrant, it's a good idea to just move it!

Thank you to all who have Trade this event possible! O UR BEAUTIFUL PARKS and natural areas provide recreation opportunities of all kinds for the residents of the community. As the last parcels of our city become developed the Park Commission's stewardship role becomes more complex. Park dedication fees will no longer be a source of funding yet the parks will still require ongoing support for maintenance and improvements. The Park Master Plan provides a framework for managing the diverse park resources in Shorewood. We are blessed as a community to have so many large stands of trees and wetlands throughout our city as well as within our parks. These spaces have their own set of requirements to remain healthy and to thrive. The recent park tour focusing on ponds and wetlands in the parks was the first of several opportunities to explore the "natural" areas of our parks. The Park Commission's goal is to identify and evaluate these areas to better plan for their needs as well. Their role providing diverse habitats as well as improving water and air quality can not be readily duplicated. To prevent current and future erosion of these communities is infinitely more economical than to try to replace them. They are a huge asset for our community. Some of the topics we have considered include buckthorn removal, tree inventory, pond reclamation and wetland restoration. We will review our Park Master Plan this summer with some of these thoughts in mind. It will be a learning process that we will share with you as many things we will learn will also be of interest to homeowners. Park Commission meetings are the second Tuesday of the month. Additional tours and work sessions for the summer will be posted at City Hall and on the City of Shorewood web site, www. ci.shorewoodmn.us.

(x'20) THE SHORE REPORT /JUNE 2005 Planning Commission Notes N A WELL -RUN CITY, development does not occur in a haphazard fashion. Rather, it proceeds according to a plan. That plan should manage the city's growth when the city is young, and it should also manage the city's continual renewal when the city is mature. A good plan is one that is broad in scope, anticipates the future needs of the city, and allows for public involvement as it is being prepared. While a good plan is flexible and can change as the city's needs change, it is also one that, once adopted, is consistently applied. A good plan helps to insure that residents (1) live in safe and attractive neighborhoods; (2) have sufficient access to recreational areas; (3) have efficient transportation systems available; and, (4) can conveniently reach commercial services, yet have adequate physical separation from those businesses. In order to assure orderly planning, the state requires that each local unit of government in the seven - county metropolitan area outline its planning process in a document called a comprehensive plan. A comprehensive plan is a city's blueprint that lays out goals and objectives, key issues, policies, and implementation steps related to important planning topics. Shorewood's comprehensive plan is divided into five sections: Natural Resources, Land Use, Transportation, Community Facilities, and Housing. Corresponding to a city's comprehensive plan is a city's zoning map. The zoning map divides the city into specific districts or zones. The city's zoning code delineates how owners of property within a particular zone can make use of their property (for example, residential or commercial use, the size of structures, minimum lot sizes, setbacks from properties lines). State law requires that a city's zoning map be consistent with its comprehensive plan. For example, if the comprehensive plan designated a part of the city as residential, the zoning map cannot place commercial activity within that area. The Planning Commission has been working on integrating the City's comprehensive plan with the zoning map. That process can involve changing the zoning designation for some properties. An interesting example of such a change occurred recently. A property on Smithtown Road near Eureka has been run as an auto repair business for many years. The area surrounding that business is entirely residential. The City's comprehensive plan identifies the area inclusive of the business site as residential. The Commission recommended that the property, then zoned C -2 (Commercial, auto - oriented) be rezoned to be R -1C (single - family residential, medium. -to- small -sized lots). Through a "grandfathering" provision, the rezoning does not preclude the business owner from continuing to operate the auto repair shop there or even selling the business to another individual who could also operate the same auto repair business. What the rezoning does accomplish is prevent a new type of auto - oriented commercial activity from starting up on that site. It is the City's intent that some day an owner of the property will choose to develop it as a single - family residence, in keeping with the rest of the neighborhood.M Jeff Bailey, Chair Planning Commission Call BEFORE You Dig R ESIDENTS ARE RENUNDED to call Gopher State One Call, 651/454 -0002, before doing any digging in their yard. This includes landscaping and driveway replacements! If you have a contractor doing the work for you, make sure you see the lines painted on your yard before you allow them to dig.

C nc1 ' i�ri es During its meetings in May, the City Council: • Authorized advertisement for bids to place a water main in Timber Lane. • Authorized advertisement for bids for improvements to the Badger Well, which will include a new building for it. • Transferred its authority to act as the local Board of Review for property valuations to Hennepin County during 2006 -2008. The County will conduct an "open -book process" for property owners who wish to appeal the valuation placed on their property by the Hennepin County Assessor's Office. • Authorized traffic control changes to Radisson Road, between Old Market Road and Christmas Lake Road, to improve safety. • Accepted a $6,000 contribution from the Shorewood Parks Foundation as part of its long commitment to the construction of Eddy Station. • Issued $1,525,000 in Water Revenue Bonds for improvements to the water system. The 20 -year bonds carry a net interest cost of 4.0811 %. For this bond issue, Moody's Investors Service reaffirmed the City's Aa3 bond rating. Hydrant Flushing Continues B ECAUSE of THE WET weather, hydrant flushing has been delayed slightly. The Waterford SE /system and the Boulder Bridge /Badger Field systems should be flushed in early June. A reminder that flushing may cause browning of your water. While this water is not hazardous to ingest, it can stain clothing, so you are advised not to wash light colored clothes until the water has cleared. To speed up the process, run cold water, preferably from an outside faucet, until you see the water run clear.

O Pets Can Be Good Neighbors P ETS ALWAYS SEEM to be the focus of at least one article a year! Although most pet owners realize what it takes to make their animals a good neighbor, occasionally we all need a reminder. Although the law regulates noisy animals and reminds us to pick up our pet feces and that our dogs are required to be on a leasip when not on private property, because we know our pets so well, we sometimes forget that, although we love them' !; dearly, not everyone around us does. -z Recent complaints received at City Hall` �+ have included wandering cats. Cats should not be left to wander, both for the respect of neighbors, and for the safety of the cat. Not only do wandering pets face the dangers of cars, but also fellow roaming wild animals which might not look so kindly on your domestic feline. Please consider those around you, and remember that just because your pet is kind and gentle with your family, that does not guarantee that he will be kind at the park with strangers. But you can be guaranteed those strangers step in the feces not picked up by a pet owner, they might not be so kind to you. A copy of the Shorewood Pet Ordinances are available online, or you may request a printed copy at City Hall. 0 COM 'M E Art on the Lake Excelsior Commons Saturday, June 11; 10 AM — 6PM Sunday, June 12 10 AM — 4PM I N ITS 25TH YEAR, this fabulous art event is beautifully laid out across the spacious Excelsior Commons along the shores of Lake Minnetonka.

It is important for residents to understand new fireworks laws and be well informed of the safety precautions that are imperative to practice, when using the legal fireworks. With recent changes to the Minnesota fireworks laws, sales, possession and use of SOME non- explosive and non - aerial consumer fireworks is now v A t permitted in Minnesota. These fireworks MAY r NOT be used on public property such as Freeman Park, city -owned docks, beaches, parks, trails, bridges, parking lots, schools, roads, alleys, and other government owned properties. Examples of legal fireworks include sparklers, cones, and tubes that emit sparks, novelty items like snakes, and party poppers. You must be at least 18 years old with a photo identification to purchase fireworks. There has been an increase in fireworks related injuries reported voluntarily by hospitals to the State Fire Marshal's office since consumer fireworks became legal. In 2002, the first year Minnesota Statute 624.20, was in effect, there was an increase to 87 injuries. The Excelsior Fire District suggests the following fireworks safety guidelines: 1. Use fireworks with close adult supervision. 2. Read and understand each fireworks directions. 3. KEEP FIREWORKS AWAY FROM CHILDREN. Sparklers alone burn at 1200 degrees. 4. Never place any part of your body over a fireworks device. Approach and light from the side. Do not carry fireworks in your pocket or on your person. 5. NEVER aim or throw fireworks at a person, animal, building, or vehicle. 6. Stay away from a failed fireworks devise for an extended amount of time. Never re -light a failed device and always soak within water before handling. 7 When using fireworks use common sense, courtesy, and respect to those around you. If you have any questions or need additional information, a complete list of legal fireworks, storage and transportation of fireworks, and safety guidelines can be obtained by calling the Minnesota State Fire Marshal's office @ 651- 215 -0500 or by e -mail firecode @state.mn.us.M National Night Out 2005 T IE SouTH LAKE MINNETONIZA Police Department is proud to be part of the 22nd Annual National Night Out (NNO) campaign on Tuesday, August 2, 2005. NNO is designed to strengthen neighborhood spirit and police - community partnerships, and to send a message to criminals letting them know that residents are organized and dedicated to keeping their neighborhoods safe. Although most Shorewood residents feel fairly safe from criminal activity, crime does occur in this area. One of the best ways to keep it from affecting you and your neighbors is to get to know each other, even if it is just on a casual basis. National Night Out provides an excellent opportunity for neighbors to become better acquainted. Along with the traditional display of outdoor lights and front porch vigils, cities and neighborhoods celebrate NNO with a variety of evening events and activities such as block parties, cookouts, and visits from the police department. The South Lake Minnetonka Police Department encourages you to organize a National Night Out activity in your neighborhood. Members of the SLMPD are making themselves available to stop by these NNO activities to answer questions, provide you with crime prevention tips, and get to know each other. Please contact Community Service /Crime Prevention Officer David Hohertz at (952) 474 -3261 to have SLMPD officers attend your event. a 5 Tt�FSFr;�rF,Re>�Hr/ I� „vE 2005 Seni ® r° er A trip to see the New Fogey Follies production of "The Songs That Won the War” will be offered on Friday, June 3.
