New Dial -A -Ride Service for Shorewood
ou will find a wealth of
information on new
transportation options for people in
the western suburbs on page 4 of
this issue. There is even an offer of
$15 worth of rides that are free for
the asking to any Shorewood
resident.
City to Consider Requests for
Additional Communication Antennas
T he City has received applications from Sprint Spectrum and Nextel
Corporation to place communication antennas on the City's west water
tower. Both firms have been awarded the use of frequencies for personal
telephone services by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Rather than having freestanding antenna towers on scattered sites around the
City, the policy has been to have antennas placed on water towers. The antenna
configuration being proposed will look much like what is currently on the southeast
water tower, south of Highway 7 at Old Market Road.
A public hearing to consider a conditional use permit on this proposal will be held at
the Minnewashta School, 26350 Smithtown Road, Tuesday, June 17 at 7 :00
p.m. This will be an opportunity for the communications companies to explain
their proposals and for the public and the City to ask questions and raise any
issues that need to be addressed.
The City has retained the services of communications engineering specialist and
independent analyst Dr. John DuBois to guide the City through the application
analysis process. He will beat the hearing to assist in answering technical questions.

The Shoreline
e Shoreline is a useful voicemail system where Shorewood residents can leave
messages at any time, day or night, 365 days a year. You could take advantage
of it even now. For example, if you are reading this newsletter during the evening or
over a weekend, there may be a comment or question on something you have seen
on one of it's pages. Rather than wait until business hours, you can pick up the
phone and call 474 -3236, Ext. #1 and leave a recorded message. It will be directed
to the proper person or department for follow -up or response.
Try it out on the article about the new "Stored Value Card" offered by MCTO
through the City Hall. , Call the Shoreline and leave your name and address to have
one sent to you at no cost. It's worth $15 in transportation services. (See page 4 of
this newsletter for more about the new transportation options in Shorewood.)
H ennepin Parks invites you to its Grand Opening Celebration on Saturday, June 14
from 11:00 a.m, to 4:00 p.m. at the Lake Minnetonka Regional Park. The event

social, kayak demonstrations, fishing clinics, crafts and games, a box lunch auction,

fee, or annual permit package for $25. For more information call 559 -9000.
Early Shorewood
More Reflections by Gladys Peck
Reprinted courtesy of the Excelsior -Lake Minnetonka Historical Society
nansportation in 1922 — Those were the days of horse and buggy. Mr. Ander-
son had the blacksmith shop near the tracks... Residents who worked in the city would
board the train at Eureka Station, going on to Minneapolis from the Gifford Store.
Many walked down the track to Manitou to get on the streetcar to get to their work and
walk back again ... Some walked to the train at Eureka Station and got off at Excelsior
to go to High School.
Occupations for Making a Living in 1922 — Mr. Lynch had a broom factory
near the George (Doc) Latterner home. He raised broom corn and made kitchen
brooms out of the better corn and barn brooms from the coarser corn. He delivered
brooms from house to house and I can still see him walking down the road with several
brooms strapped to his back. They sold for thirty -five cents — better brooms than those
made today.
There were large orchards, and berry farming was a large business in the 1920's and
1930's. Whole families from surrounding areas — Waconia and Victoria — would
harvest the crops and brought the produce to Excelsior Fruit Growers Association.
Crates were bought from the Wright Fruit Factory. The berry pickers would camp in
small houses located on the owner's property. The berry farmers would get $1.25 a
twenty -four box crate. Pickers would receive 2 1/2 cents per box (pint). If they
stayed all season from June until August, when currants were ripe, they would
receive a bonus.
For the first time the City received the
GFOA Distinguished Budget Presenta-
tion Award, which is presented to
governments for excellence in their
budget presentations. Shorewood is one
of only 17 governmental units in Minnesota to
receive the award this year.
The City also was presented with the
GFOA Certificate of Achievement for
Excellence in Financial Reporting for
the fourth year in a row. The Certificate
of Achievement is awarded to govern-
ments whose financial statements meet the
high standards of the program and
demonstrate the `spirit of full disclosure'
to clearly communicate its financial status
for potential users of the report.
Finance Director Al Rolek was
commended by the City Council for a job
well done.
Christmas Lake
Road Construction
T he South Lake Minnetonka Public
Safety Department is urging all
residents to use extra caution as they
travel through the State Highway 7 and
Christmas Lake intersection area. There
is currently road construction in progress
to improve this intersection.
According to Police Chief
R i c k MEN Young, "this
was the WORKING . most
danger - I ous inter-
section in " the City, even
prior to the f' construction."
Chief Young reminds motorists that
because of the inherent dangers of
construction zones, all fines are doubled
by state statute. Please help in making
this construction project a safe one.
Correction...
L ast month we reported that
parking is FREE at Hennepin
Parks on the first Tuesday of each
month. We have been informed
that the FREE parking program
has been discontinued. We are
sorry for any inconvenience this
may have caused.
F
Plans for Picnic
Shelter at Freeman
Park Proceed
F ollowing a public hearing held on
May 20, the Planning Commission
cleared the way for final approval of a
picnic shelter at Freeman Park. The
structure will be a 30'x38' open -air
space with a roof to protect from the
elements and a concrete floor. It will
be centrally located near the play area
north of Field #3. A water fountain
and grills will also be installed.
The project will also include extending
a waterline for a drinking fountain near
the Little League concession building.
The facility is scheduled for completion
and use late this summer. Call City Hall
(474 -3236) for reservation details and cost.
Come Out and
Play!
Something New ...
L ate last fall, the Shorewood Park
Commission and other volunteers
installed a beautiful new play struc-
ture at Badger Park. It replaces the
old and much less appealing equip-
ment next to the tennis courts (which
is a great set -up for tennis - playing
parents of the younger set). Check out
this little known ammenity next to
City Hall and the new Southshore
Center!

Spring Clean -up Day a Success
rT!his Spring Clean-up day saw excellent participation by residents. Eight
loads of garbage were collected over last year's total. More than one semi -
truck full of usable items was collected for Goodwill Industries. Boys from
Scout Troop 424 in Excelsior, under the direction of James Senst, volunteered
their time and efforts to help with the Goodwill drop off area F A -
The effort this year included a flood relief drop -off where
items and cash were collected to be distributed to victims of
the flooded areas in Minnesota and North Dakota. Thanks
to all who contributed to this effort and to everyone who
made the day a huge success.
Recycling News
R esidents of Shorewood have
increased recycling participation
by 15% during the first 4 months of
1997 in comparison to the first 4
months of 1996. There was an aver-
age of 1,151 households participating
each week in our recycling program
during that time period in 1996; and
January through April 1997 the weekly
average was 1,354 households. That's
203 more households who regularly
recycle!
Recycling Tip
On your next grocery trip, purchase
items in bulk or "family size" pack -
ages rather than individual serving
sizes (e.g. raisins in plastic bag or
canister rather than mini -snack boxes,
or frozen cans of juice instead of
small juice boxes). By changing your
purchasing habits you not only save
money but also save the amount of
trash produced.
Did You Know?
Each recycled aluminum can saves the equivalent of one cup of gasoline and saves
enough energy to bum a 100 watt light bulb for 3.5 hours. And recycling one glass bottle
saves enough energy to burn that same light bulb for 4 hours.

LAKE MINNETONKA COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
FROM THE
ADMINISTRATOR'S M DESK... 197 WORKSHOPS
'm always a little cautious about report
ng on legislation, while the current
Legislature is still in session, but here is an
update report on the "rights -of -way ".
The Minnesota Senate has
. passed language that clarifies the city's
authority to manage their rights -of -way,
and also confirms that users of the rights -
)f- -way must compensate the cities for
:osts related to management and
Decreased life in the pavement of the
streets. In addition, the bill maintains the
authority of local government to create
and enforce local construction standards,
)ut reserves state authority to impose
ights -of- -way use standards when
)ecessary to retain competitive neutrality
among users that will ultimately insure
°fficient use of technology. The bill could
)e in front of the Governor yet this
pring. Overall, it has been a successful
.ffort by your city and the LMCC at this
997 Legislature. We certainly must
- ecognize the help and support of
senators Gen Olson and Ed Oliver, along
vith Representatives Steve Smith, Barb
ykora, Todd Van Dellen and Tom
Vorkman.

COMMISSIONER'S
COMMENTS...
It has been my pleasure to serve as
Chair of the LMCC for the past two
years. As usual it has been a busy time
and I thank all the active Commissioners
for their time and participation, as well
as the staff for the continued dedica-
tion. Some of the accomplishments of
the Commission for the past two years
include the following: a) the successful
opening of the North Studio in Long
Lake, which creates additional opportu-
nity for residents to create their own
productions; b) development of the
"Future" Needs Assessment Committee
as the Triax Cablevision franchise is soon
up for renewal; c) subscribers received a
$100,000 refund of service charges &
sales taxes; d) subscribers recognized a
reduction of "basic" cable rates; e)
involvement with legal and legislative
challenge over the rights -of -way jurisdic-
tion issue; and f) created language for
member cities to use regarding PCS
lease language and options.
There is still more work to be
done regarding renewal, needs, and
legislative changes, however, with an
active Commission and dedicated staff,
we are up to the challenge.

Map Descriptions
The following items are on the June 3rd Planning Commission Agenda:

since the 1 April 1997 Planning Commission meeting.
2 A lot line rearrangement approval is being requested affecting properties located at 6130 and 6150 Church Road.
3 The owner of 5590 Vine Hill Road, located just south of Waterford Place proposes to build a single- family home on the lot.
The property is currently legally described as " Outlot D, Waterford ". Since an Outlot is not buildable, the owner is requesting
approval to replat it. The new legal description would be Lot 1, Block 1, Waterford 5th Addition.
4 Approval of a conditional use permit is being requested for a house proposed at 20445 Radisson Road which will contain
attached garage space in excess of the 1200 square feet allowed by permitted use.
