Shorewood's Beginning
I N 1971 AMrNNETONKA SuN newspaper
article, Shorewood was described
as "a place of homes, of 4,181 people.
nothing more." The article went on
to explain that there were a few gas
stations, churches and a boat marina,
but residents had to go to Excelsior
or elsewhere for most things they
needed.
Our community has grown
considerably from its start of
approximately 2,000 residents in 1956.
Our population has reached almost
8,000 and our commercial growth,
although not extreme, now allows us to
buy grocery and medical items within
our city limits.
Shorewood's history as a village
began in 1956. But there was a
previous attempt to incorporate one
year earlier. In 1955 the property in
Excelsior Township (an area separate
from the Village of Excelsior) failed an
attempt to become a village. According
to former village attorney Frank
Kelly, people did not like the chosen
name -- Hiawatha. Many thought it to
be "clumsy and lengthy ". One year
later a second attempt was successful
using the name Shorewood. Credit for
the Shorewood name has been given
to Dud Kendrick, the first mayor of
Shorewood.
And so it began, thanks to the
persistence of some of our early
residents. C

The Ice Is Coming!
HE ARRIVAL OF temperatures
consistently below freezing sends
some of us inside with a large cup of
hot cocoa, but many residents are more
eager to throw on their parkas and head
to Shorewood ice rinks!
Dependent upon weather conditions,
the skating season begins mid- December
and ends mid - February, 2003. Warming
houses are at the parks ready to go, and
the City has slated the following hours
of operation:
Monday — Friday............ 3:30 — 9 PM
Saturday .........................11 AM — 9 PM
Sunday ............................12 PM — 9 PM
Holiday Break (12/23 -1/3) 9 AM — 9 PM
CLOSES AT 3:30, 12/24; CLOSED DECEMBER
25 AND JANUARY 1.
Closing times may vary slightly if
rink is not in use or an attendant is
not available. Warming houses will be
posted when closed. Hockey rinks are
occasionally scheduled for team hockey
practices. These schedules are posted at
the warming house.
Warming house hours are posted.
Badger, Manor and Cathcart parks have
both free skating facilities and warming
houses operated by rink attendants.
Badger and Cathcart also have hockey
boards and nets. Silverwood Park has a
pond, which is groomed for a free skating
rink when the ice is determined to be
safe. Q
A Note to Parents and Skaters
T IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE arrangements
in advance to pick up children at the
end of their skating time. The telephones
in the warming houses are for emergency
use only and will be locked when the
attendant is outside.
The 10 PM curfew for juveniles 14
and younger will be enforced. Rink
attendants are required to follow City
regulations themselves, and to see to it
that others do the same.
Comments regarding rink operations
should be directed to City Hall, (952)

apital Improvement Projects Proposed
T HE SHOREWOOD CITY COUNCIL is considering several Capital Improvements to its infrastructure. Sewer
system improvements include refurbishment of Lift stations 8, 15, and 18 (Shady Island and Birch Bluff)

projects.

T HE PAST Two legislation
sessions dramatically
changed our state's property
taxation system. Most
significantly, Shorewood lost
its entire $427,000 allocation of
state aid. This means that over
two - thirds of city operations
must now be funded by property
taxes.
The state also assumed more
responsibility for school funding.
As a result, a greater share of your
property tax dollar now goes to
Hennepin County and the City of
Shorewood.
ewer and Water Rate Changes
HE SHOREWOOD CITY COUNCIL is considering sewer and water rate
increases for 2003. The last time sewer and water rates were changed
was in 1999. The Metro Council Environmental Services has increased
the rate they charge the City to process sewer discharge. Therefore the
City Council will consider a rate change from $60 to $70 per quarter per
household in order to assure the sewer fund will remain self - supporting.
This rate is still lower than the $75 average quarterly sewer rate for
surrounding communities.
Water rates may increase gradually over a three -year period. The base
rate for water in 2003 would change from $23.25 to $25.00. The first
10,000 gallons usage is included in this base rate. The rate for 10,000-
50,000 gallons usage would increase from $1.50 to $1.95 per thousand
gallons. For usage greater than 50,000 gallons per quarter, the rate would
change from $1.75 to $2.75 per thousand. The quarterly cost for an
average household that uses 30,000 gallons would be about $64.00.
The City Council has also considered an inflationary increase in the
Stormwater Management rate from $3.75 to $5.04 per quarter. This rate
was set in 1993 and has not been changed since. The community average
rate is $5.50 per quarter. Lastly, the recycling rate would increase from
$1.50 per month per household, to $1.75 per month. The City subsidizes
a portion of the recycling expense, however overall costs necessitate a
small increase. Please contact the Finance Department at (952) 474 -3236
if you have questions about the proposed rate changes.

the danger involved in following
snowplows too closely. Unfortunately,
while this warning is headed by some,
each year in Minnesota there are
approximately 110 snowplow /vehicle
accidents reported. Drivers new to
Minnesota roads may not be aware of
the dangers involved, and many drivers,
experienced or not, do not understand
the limited field of vision experienced
in the large plows required to keep our
roads clear for safe winter driving.
Drivers should remember to use the
"eight- second rule" when following a
Winter Driving Safety
M N/DOT"Tm following recommendations
for safe winter driving:
• Turn on your headlights, day and night.
• Turn off your cruise control.
• Slow down.
• Stay behind the snowplow. The road behind
a snowplow will be safer to drive on. Also,
snowplows turn and exit frequently.
• Never drive into a snow cloud.
• Test road surfaces frequently. Black ice is

Planning Commission Notes
Blueprint 2030
T HE METROPOLITAN
COUNCIL has proposed
a new regional plan called
Blueprint 2030 that will
serve as the guide for
growth and change for the
seven county metro area
for which the Met Council
has responsibility. This
plan was created because it is projected
that 930,000 more people with 461,000
new households will be added to this
region in the next three decades.
Area Map
An overview map of the region
shows that there are three main policy
areas that make up the plan. There is
the "reinvestment area" that includes
the fully developed parts of the Twin Gathering Ideas, Achieving Goals

tools to achieve the goals of Blueprint
2030. Tools include building support
for an expanded Livable Communities
program, coordinating regional
investments in highways and transit,
and incentives for brownfield cleanup
and parks and open space. The council
reviews the Comprehensive Plans for
communities such as Shorewood to
ensure that the goals are being met.
More information about Blueprint
2030 is available for review at City
Half M Donna Woodruff
Planning Commissioner
Blueprint Goals
There are seven key goals for the
Blueprint:
• To provide greater transportation
choices.
• Second is to focus growth and
redevelopment in urban and centers
along transportation corridors
that incorporate innovative transit
solutions.
• Third is to increase lifecycle and
affordable housing and to encourage
communities to have a mix of housing
types and with prices to
enable people to work,
raise a family and retire all
in the same community.
• Fourth is to conserve and
protect natural resources
that will enhance the
region's quality of life.
• Fifth is to invest in
developing communities
to accommodate new growth using
a connected and sustainable pattern
of land use.
• Sixth is to reinvest in fully developed
and older communities to ensure
continued vitality.
• Seventh is to support rural
communities, because agriculture
is a significant part of the regional
economy.
