New Public Safety
A LL OF THE APPROVALS HAVE now been
made, and the new public safety
facilities for the South Lake Minnetonka
area can be constructed.
During August, the governing boards of
eight local units of government — the cities
of Deephaven, Excelsior, Greenwood,
Shorewood, and Tonka Bay; the Excelsior
Fire District and the South Lake Minnetonka
Police Department; and the Shorewood
Economic Development Authority
— approved about a dozen agreements
needed to define their relationships and
responsibilities for the new facilities. This
organizational structure was needed before
bonds could be issued.
With the concurrence of the governing
boards of the EFD and SLMPD, on
September 12 the Shorewood Economic
Development Authority awarded $9,950,000
Register to Vote
0 CTOBER 15 IS THE DEADLINE to pre -
register to vote for the November 5
General Election. A voter registration card
is available on page 4 of this newsletter,
available at City Hall, or you can download rw.
one at http://Wwsos.state.mn.us/election/-

If you are not pre- registered, you may
register to vote on election day with one of
the following identifications:
• A valid MN driver's license or ID card
with your correct/current address.
• A Notice of Late Registration received
from your City Clerk.
• A Voucher: An Oath ofa pre - registered

bill must contain your name and
current address. l
Facilities a Reality
in lease- revenue bonds for the bulk of financing
for the project. This issue has a 5.15% net
interest cost over the 20 -year term of financing.
September turned out to be great timing for
financing, as the interest rate on the benchmark
30 -year Treasury note was at its lowest point of
the year. Up to $2,400,000 is authorized to be
issued early next year to complete the financing
for the project.
In August, the Shorewood City Council
approved the conditional use permit (CUP)
for the combined EFD West/SLMPD Station
at 24140 Smithtown Road. This facility will
have approximately 55,000 square feet on
the front half of the 6.8 -acre parcel. The
Deephaven City Council approved the special
use permit to build the EFD East Station a
5,600 square -foot first - response fire facility
— on the Deephaven municipal campus, 20225
Cottagewood Road.
Given the imminence of Minnesota's longest
season, the time frame is very tight to be able
to break ground for the new buildings in
2002. A November start on the EFD West/
SLMPD Station is possible. Look forward to
the November issue of the Shore Report for
details.

Fall Clean -Up Day is October 26th
T HE ANNUAL YARD WASTE DROP -OFF DAY for Shorewood has been established
by City Council to be held on Saturday, October 26, 2002. Yard waste can
be brought to the Public Works parking area at 24200 Smithtown Road between
9:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M.
Grass, leaves and mixed brush will be accepted.
All yard waste must be emptied from bags and
the bags taken home. Brush and sticks must
be bundled with branches smaller than 1 %" in
diameter and less than 4' in length.
Due to the restrictions of the Tuxedo Road
Bridge (Red Bridge), Island residents will receive
special instructions in their mailboxes. Please
check your mail!
Any questions pertaining to the Fall clean up
should be directed to City Hall at (952) 474-
3236.
Simple Home Maintenance
Get Ready for the Heating Season!
AA[HEN THE CITY BUILDING INSPECTOR Visits local homes, he often sees vents
on the outside of homes that need cleaning. Without proper maintenance,
these vents can become clogged and can cause a serious hazard to your home and
its inhabitants.
You should check the dryer hood on the outside of your house to see if the
flapper is working properly. Many times the hood is damaged or lint build -up has
impaired the flapper from closing properly. Just a few minutes with a pliers to
bend the hood or a piece of wire to fish out built -up lint will put the dryer exhaust
hood back into operation.
Combustion air and ventilation inlet ducts allow air to enter your house in a
place that will provide ventilation, reduce draft problems and provide oxygen for
water heaters, furnaces or other fuel burning equipment. These ducts also provide
an inlet for air exhaust fans such as stove hoods and bathroom fans. Air inlet ducts
can help reduce interior- exterior air pressure differences caused by wind and attic
bypasses.
Ventilation inlet hoods that are blocked will cause reduced ventilation rates,
stress on the ventilation equipment and higher electrical costs.
Screens under the combustion air and ventilation inlet hoods should be checked
monthly to make sure they do not become blocked with a build -up of fibers or
paint. A fine fibrous mat can
be easily removed with an
old toothbrush. Provide ...
area around the ducts on the
outside and inside of your
home to allow the air to
enter your home.
Ifyou have questions about
this simple maintenance
procedure, please contact
City Hall at (952) 474-
3236.
Early Shorewood
The tour of Lake Minnetonka continues. This is
the fifth and final in a series of articles.
EDAR POINT IS JUST AHEAD on the
right and Hardscrabble Point will
soon be on the left. We are now at Cook's
Bay, the extreme end of the Upper Lake.
However, in a small boat one can go
two miles further by rowing up Priest
Bay on your left, through a small canal
into Halstead's Bay. A large patch of
lotus lilies, three acres in extent, will be
found in bloom. These were rare water
plants with the enormous leaves and pale
creamy flowers. It was determined that
the cranes dropped the seeds when they
flew to Crane Island, since this is the only
place where the lilies are found.
The village ahead is Mound City,
deriving its name from the large number
of Indian mounds to be found in the
vicinity. The Chapman House, Bartlett's,
and the Hotel Buena Vista in this bay
attracted tourists. We retrace our course
to Enchanted Island through a canal and
draw bridge. The land on the left is known
as North Shore Park (formerly Noble's or
Phelp's Island). The little island ahead
-is Wild Goose Island, and the point just
opposite, Pelican Point.
W. R. Chamberlain's residence
is notable in that the large chimney,
porches, steps and walls are constructed
of rocks from the shoreline. Maple
Height's Inn, the very inviting looking
colonial building, is well maintained
by its proprietor J. Woolnough. (It was
surrounded by cottages, hosted a Bible
camp and had 11 Indian mounds at one
time.)
We are now at Spring Park. The Del
Otero, a Spanish name for "Hotel of the
Mound" is, indeed, built over Indian
mounds. G. F. Hopkins & Company are
the proprietors of this spotless, modern
structure. The dancing pavilion has
screened porches, to avoid the festive
mosquito.
On the return trip from Spring Park, the
boat runs down the shoreline to Casco
Point and then retraces our route.

Freeman Park Trails Offer
Cross - Country Venue
D ec ently, the Park Commission
as been focused on including
a wider range of users in city parks.
On September 4, that vision became
reality. Minnetonka High School hosted
a cross - country meet at Freeman Park.
This event provided opportunity for
nearly 400 varsity and junior varsity,
male and female team members from
Minnetonka, Edina, Cooper, and St.
Louis Park High Schools, to enjoy the
park and its trails while participating
in their sport.
The trail conditions were excellent
and the mosquitoes were on hiatus
during the two -hour event. In addition,
organizers said that the construction
of Eddy Station has made Freeman
Park "one of the best" places they
have visited. Not only were the new
restroom facilities appreciated, but the
picnic canopy offered a place to hand
out numbers and generally manage the
event.
Coaches and team members agreed
that the Freeman Park experience was
one they want to repeat next year.
The Park Commission welcomes
them back, and looks forward to new
visitors in the parks.

Halloween
Safety
T HE SOUTH LAKE MINNETONKA PohCE
Department would like parent
to follow some basic precautions tc
keep our trick -or- treaters safe this
Halloween.
• Use non - toxic, hypoallergenic face
paint or make -up instead of masks.
Masks can make it hard for kids to
see and breathe.
• Add reflective tape to costumes.
Ideally, costumes should be light -
colored.
• Costumes should be short enough so
the child won't trip. Sleeves should not
be too loose - fitting. Avoid footwear
that makes it hard to walk.
• Homemade costumes should be made
of flame - resistant fabric.
• Younger children should only go
trick -or- treating with a responsible
older person. Adolescents and teens
should travel in groups and go only to
the houses of people they know.
• Trick -or- treaters should carry
flashlights. At least one member of
the group should carry a cell phone.
• Consider alternatives to trick -or-
treating, such as neighborhood or
school parties or a haunted -house
project.
• Teen and adult drivers wearing
costumes must be sure that the
costume does not obstruct their view.
Seat belts must be worn, even if part
of the costume has to be taken off to
fasten it.
• Drive slowly and defensively. Don't
assume that a pedestrian, especially an
excited youngster in a costume, will
move as you expect. Keep an eye out
for trick -or- treaters darting out from
between parked cars.
• Homeowners should replace burned -
out exterior light bulbs. Lights should
be left on later than usual, perhaps even
all night. The path to your door should
be kept clear of tripping hazards such
as ladders, garden hoses, flower pots,
bicycles, and dog leashes. Sweep wet
leaves from sidewalks and steps. Keep
excitable pets away from the door.
THE SHORE REPORT / September 2002
Planning Commission Notes
T HE BIGGEST PROJECT Ol "'
Commission
agenda recently has
been the South Lake
Minnetonka Public Safety
(SLMPS) facility. The
building, to be located on
the north side of County
Road 19, adjacent to the
Shorewood Public Works
facility, is designed to
house both the South
Lake Minnetonka Police Department
and the Excelsior Fire Department.
The Commission's job in this matter
is to ensure that the proposed building
meets all requirements of the City's
zoning code. As it does with any new
development, the Commission was
concerned with aspects of the building's
location and design that relate to:
• Setbacks from surrounding
properties
• Building height
• Parking
• Lighting
• Grading and drainage
• Noise
• Traffic circulation
• Landscaping
In the case of the SLMPS facility, the
Commission focused particular attention
on the last three items. Increased noise
will come from the vehicles that go to
and from the building, activities within
the building, and mechanical devices
needed to run the building. Given the
oximity to a residential
neighborhood, the
Commission wanted
assurances that the
noise generated would
be at or below state
standards for residential
neighborhoods. City
staff and the building's
architect provided
detailed information
regarding how the noise
would be held to acceptable levels.
Traffic circulation was also of interest
because of the nearby neighborhood.
The narrow size of the lot dictates how
traffic will have to flow. A small bus
stop area and a segment of sidewalk
will be created on Shorewood Lane
to help avoid pedestrian - vehicle traffic
conflicts. Finally, every effort was made
to preserve the wooded nature ofthe lot,
particularly on the northern portions.
Dozens of trees and shrubs will be
planted to screen the building and
parking lot from the neighborhood.
The Commission believes that the
new SLMPS facility fully meets the
City's zoning requirements. Further,
the Commission is convinced that
the new SLMPS facility will be a
valuable addition to the safety of our
community and that every effort had
been taken to avoid adverse impacts on
the surrounding neighborhood.
