Motion passed 4/0. APPROVAL OF MINUTES July 1, 2014 Davis moved, Labadie seconded, approving the Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of July 1, 2014, as presented. Motion passed 4/0. STUDY SESSION TRAIL PLANS Trail Priorities Director Nielsen apologized for not providing a Trail Plan Priorities map overlaid Nvith future street projects and noted that it Nvill be very easy for him to describe. He also noted the meeting packet contains a copy of the Trail map. Director Nielsen explained that for the most part all of the Priority I trail projects are done or in progress. The County Road 19 trail segment (from the SmithtoN -,n Crossing to the LRT Trail) Nvas constructed first. The SmithtoN -,n Road Nvest sidewalk (from the Shorewood /Victoria border to the intersection Nvith Eureka Road /LRT Trail) Nvas constructed next. During its August 11, 2014, meeting Council Nvill be asked to award the construction bid for the Galpin Lake Road wallcwa -,T segment (from the Shorewood /Chanhassen border to the Shorewood /Excelsior border). A trail Nvallc for the SmithtoN -,n Road east wallcwa -,T segment (from the Eureka Road /LRT Trail intersection to SmithtoN -,n Crossing) is planned for the Planning Commission's September meeting. Construction for that segment is scheduled for 2015. The Mill Street wallcwa -,T segment project Nvas put on hold for a while mainly because the City of Excelsior is not ready to construct its portion of that trail. CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING August 5, 2014 Page 2of9 There are two Nvalkvmv projects that Nvill coincide Nvith roadvmv projects. The first is the Strawbern- Lane segment (from SmithtoN -,n Road to West 62 a Street on to Cathcart Park). It is scheduled for 2019 along Nvith the reconstruction of Strawberry Lane. The other is the Eureka Road north segment. Constructing the Strawberry Lane segment in conjunction Nvith reconstructing the roadvmv Nvill cost about one -half of the cost of constructing the segment standalone. He thinks the Strawberry Lane is the highest priority of the Prioritv II trails because of the volume of traffic on Strawberry Lane and because of the Boulder Cove development in the City of Chanhassen. Safe Routes to Schools Director Nielsen noted that a number of Nears ago [2008] the City and the Minnetonka School District applied for a safe routes to school (SRTS) grant for a Nvarning light for near the Minnewashta Elementary School. He stated that he and Finance Director DeJong attended a SRTS summit a few Nveeks ago. He explained they Nvere told that just because you develop a SRTS plan it does not mean a city Nvill get a grant. A SRTS plan is more of a program. The summit organizers Nvere more interested in getting children to, for example, ride bikes more. They Nvere not that interested in talking about trails. At the summit he told the organizers that parents are not going to encourage their children to ride their bikes if there is no safe place to do that. A number of Nears back the School put in place some of the things the SRTS program looks for. For example, it implemented the pedestrian bus concept Nvhere a person carrying a "pedestrian bus" sign leads rows of children Nvalking to or from school. He stated staff Nvill get together Nvith representatives from Minnewashta Elementary School to discuss Nvhat it Nvill take to apply for a SRTS grant(s) for the SmithtoN -,n Road east and Strawberry Lane Nvalkvmvs. Anv trail / Nvalkvmv segment Nvould be a safe route to school; in particular the SmithtoN -,n Road east and Strawberry Lane segments. Staff may also discuss that Nvith representatives from the Minnetonka School District. He then stated if there is a safe place for children to Nvalk and ride bikes it could potentially reduce the vehicle traffic because not as many children Nvill have to be driven to school. Children are not bused to school if they live Nvithin two miles of the School. He Nvent on to state if there Nvas money available he thought the next segment Nvould be from basically Shorewood Lane to the City of Excelsior. People from the Nvest end of Shorewood could then get to Excelsior's trail system. Commissioner Davis stated if residents can get to the LRT Trail safely they can then get to Excelsior or the City of Victoria. She asked Nvhat the status is for the Lake Minnetonka LRT Regional Trail Overpass at County Road 19. Director Nielsen stated he thought the Three Rivers Park District (TRPD) Nvas going to open bids late JuIv and it Nvould be built in 2015. Nielsen noted that he Nvill get that information from the City Engineer and email it to the Commissioners. Davis stated a lot of people ask about the overpass. Director Nielsen stated it is his recollection that a resident who lives in Gideon Woods complained about the overpass. That individual did not think there had been enough process. People Nvere not very aNvare of it. Commissioner Davis asked if repairs had been made to the new SmithtoN -,n Road Nvest sideNvalk. Director Nielsen explained there had been a utility break somewhere in that area and a segment of sideNvalk needed to be repaired. A house is being built in the area and a contractor left some rocks on the sideNvalk. That contractor Nvas parking heavy equipment on the sideNvalk this past Nvinter. In addition to a driveNvay for the new house there Neill be another driveway in the area put in and that Neill result in disruption to a segment of the sideNvalk. That Neill be at that property owner's expense. CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING August 5, 2014 Page 3of9 Commissioner Labadie clarified that children can be bused to school for a fee if they live less than tNyo miles from the School. The fee is $100 per child Nyith a maximum of $250 per family. Basically every child attending MinneNyashta Elementary School has to pay to ride the bus. She stated she has a very good relationship Nyith the principal at the School and the PTO president. She offered to approach them on a SRTS program if there is something Director Nielsen needs. Director Nielsen noted a large component of the SRTS program is school oriented. Commissioner Davis stated there are residents in her neighborhood N-,-ho folloNyed their children N-,-ho road their bicycles to schools in their cars. Commissioner Labadie noted there is no safe Nyav for her daughter to get to school on her bicycle. She stated if there is a group of ten of them then she feels her daughter is safe. They get there by going on less busy streets. She noted that parents of school age children are not going to let their children cross SmithtoN -,n Road to get to the new trail to go to school. Commissioner Davis stated it Nyould be nice to have some safe passage doN -,n that part of Eureka Road. Commissioner Maddv asked if Eureka Road north is going to be reconstructed. Director Nielsen noted that the Finance Director changed the Street Reconstruction Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to reflect a mill and overlay for Eureka Road north. The Public Works Director asked that it be changed back to reconstruction. He stated that roadway Nyill not be reconstructed to Minnesota State Aid (MSA) standards and therefore it is no longer classified as an MSA roadvmy. He noted that he Nyill send information about the timing of project out N ith the information about the overpass. 2. NOISE ORDINANCE Director Nielsen stated the situation near Hillendale Road is more of an activity issue rather than a noise issue. He explained there is at least one decent code that addresses the use of all- terrain vehicles (ATVs). It states that ATVs can be started up to load them onto a trailer to take them somewhere but they cannot be operated in the City of ShoreNyood. That ordinance treats snowmobiles the same Nyay. Nielsen explained that in 2013 the Planning Commission spent a fair amount of time talking about a noise ordinance. An ordinance the Citv has not had for 30 years. Chair Geng stated the copy of the draft ordinance included in the meeting packet seems to be the same as it Nyas N-,-hen in Nyas discussed last Near. He thought the ordinance is good. Commissioner Davis concurred. Commissioner Labadie stated she likes that snovy removal equipment is exempt from the hourly restrictions on operations. Commissioner Davis stated she likes the exemption for emergency Nyork. She then stated the use of recreational vehicles not licensed for travel on public highvmys is addressed. Director Nielsen noted that the optional provision under Subd.20.a.(4) alloys a homeovrier or occupant to do construction, repairs or maintenance, including laN -,n maintenance, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Sundays and public holidays. Commissioner Davis asked if that means no leaf bloNying after 6:00 p.m. on Sundays. Nielsen noted it does. Commissioner Davis noted that item 2 conflicts Nyith that. Davis recommended taking laN -,n maintenance out of the optional provision. CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING August 5, 2014 Page 4of9 Commissioner Maddy asked if dirt bikes are licensed for travel on public highwa -,Ts. He stated the driver of a dirt bike may consider them self exempt because they are not driving or operating a minibilce or snov, mobile. There Nvas ensuring discussion about the use of dirt bikes on City streets in residential neighborhoods. Commissioner Maddy asked if the City's hours match up Nvith the City of Excelsior's. Director Nielsen responded mostly but there Nvere a couple of differences and he thought one of the differences Nvas for refuse hauling. Chair Geng asked if Excelsior revised its ordinance. He suggested researching what Excelsior's current ordinance states before fonvarding this to Council for consideration. Nielsen asked if the Planning Commission Nvants to discuss the ordinance again once he finds out how Excelsior changed it ordinance. Commissioner Davis stated only if its hours of restriction changed significantly. Maddy noted that he thought the 9:30 p.m. end time for recreational vehicles and domestic power equipment is pretty late because he has small children. Commissioner Davis stated she also thinks that is late. Director Nielsen concurred. The folloNving changes Nvere agreed to. Subd. 20.a.(1) Recreational vehicles and Subd. 20.a.(2) Domestic power equipment — the 9:30 p.m. end times Nvere changed to 9:00 p.m. The verbiage about hours of operation Neill be changed so that it is consistent in items a.(1) — a.(4). Subd. 20.a.(4) Construction activities — in the optional provisions the construction hours Nvere changed to 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.. They had been 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Including laN -,n maintenance Nvill be removed. The Nvord optional Nvill be removed. Davis moved, Labadie seconded, recommending approval of the Ordinance amending Title 500 of the Shorewood Zoning Code regarding nuisances (noise) as amended above provided the City of Excelsior has not significantly changed its hours of operation. Motion passed 4/0. 3. GREENSTEP CITIES PROGRAM UPATE Director Nielsen explained the City has implemented a number of the GreenStep Cities Program best practices (BPs). The City has reached the first step in the program and it received a small recognition award for doing so. There are some areas that the Planning Commission should Nvork on. Chair Geng suggested focusing on the items the Commission needs to address. Director Nielsen highlighted and explained the items for the Planning Commission; items that have been completed since the first GreenStep Nvas achieved and items that need to be done. Density bonus — The increased density proposed for the SmithtoN -,n Crossing redevelopment area is being considered by Council. Council has asked for more information (e.g., sketches of what 60 units on four acres might look like). Historic preservation ordinance — The City Ordinance contains a provision that allows people to keep old, historic, nonconforming structures and still be able to add accessory structures. CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING August 5, 2014 Page 5of9 Development and design standards that facilitate infill and redevelopment — The SmithtoN -,n Crossing Redevelopment Study did that. The implementation the Planning Commission recommended to the Council also fulfills that. Mixed uses — The Planning Commission has recommended to Council higher density for senior housing. The Comprehensive Plan states the City should be addressing and providing some variety of housing for seniors. The SmithtoN -,n Crossing Redevelopment Study specifically talks about that. Safe routes to school (SRTS) — The Planning Commission Nvill be involved N ith that effort. Renewable energy: solar energy standards and model N ind energy ordinance — The Planning Commission Neill be involved from a residential regulatory perspective. If the City decides to implement renewable energy alternatives that Neill have to be regulated as Nvell. Buildings located Nvithin Nvallcing distance of transit and /or residential zoning — This is an ongoing item. For example, the SmithtoN -,n Road east Nvallcway segment Nvill connect the Smithtown Crossing area to the Minnewashta Elementary School and the residents beyond. Commissioner Davis asked if the City reviews the status of its progress Nvith implementing GreenStep Cities BPs often. Director Nielsen stated not often enough. He thought it should be revieNved at least annualIv. It has been two Nears since a review has been done. Davis stated that it is possible that additional practices may have been implemented as part of normal business. Davis then stated the City might be able to get credit for backyard gardening and chickens. Commissioner Labadie stated that is BP Local Food 27.4.b. Commissioner Labadie questioned if the City could get credit for being a bee -safe city. Commissioner Davis stated maybe backyard gardening could include bees. Commissioner Davis stated she thought the City used to advertise that it Nvas a tree city. BP Urban Forests 16.1 is about qualifying for being a tree city. Director Nielsen stated he is not sure the City still is. Davis suggested finding out what it takes to qualify. Davis noted that BP 16.2 talks about adopting as polio* Minnesota Tree Trusts' BPs and using the guidelines in at least one development project to achieve an excellent and exemplary rating. There may be other BPs under Urban Forests that the City has or could easily implement. Chair Geng noted the City is the first city in Minnesota and third in the nation to pass a polio* encouraging planting bee - friendly floNvers and restricting certain pesticides. 4. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR There Nvere no matters from the floor presented this evening. 5. OLD BUSINESS / NEW BUSINESS 6. DRAFT NEXT MEETING AGENDA Director Nielsen stated that in order to get the SmithtoN -,n Road east Nvallcway feasibility report to Council in September the Planning Commission needs to Nvallc the area during its September 2, 2014 meeting. He noted that the Commission has an informal polio* not to meet the day after a holiday. He stated it is starting to get dark earlier. He thought the Nvallc Nvould take about one hour. He suggested starting that meeting at 6:00 P.M. and alloNving up to 90 minutes for the Nvallc. Applications Neill not be scheduled until after 7:30 P.M. CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING August 5, 2014 Page 6of9 Nielsen stated that in addition to the trail/sideNvallc Nvallc there Nvill be two applications on the September 2 meeting agenda. One is a minor subdivision. The other is for a conditional use permit (C.U.P.). The property owners Nvant to build more accessory space and there is already a nonconforming structure on the property. The City Ordinance states a property owner cannot add accessory space if there is a nonconforming structure except if it is architecturalIv significant, culturally significant or historically significant. It is up to the applicant's architect to justify whN- the nonconforming structure should remain. Chair Geng asked if Jon Monson is the C.U.P. applicant. Director Nielsen responded yes. Geng stated he knows Mr. Monson and when he Nvas Nvith him recentIv Mr. Monson asked if they could go over what he Nvas proposing Nvith him. Geng noted that he told him that Nvould not be a good idea and explained whN-. Mr. Monson clarified he Nvas not trying to do anything improper. He related that Mr. Monson had indicated that Shorewood does things different than, for example, the City of Excelsior. He stated he thought it Nvas nice that someone reacted positively to that. Director Nielsen stated the Planning Commission Nvill receive a copy of the feasibility report on the SmithtoN -,n Road east Nvalkvmv before it goes on its trail Nvallc. Chair Geng asked Nvhat the timetable is for that project. Director Nielsen explained the feasibility report is due by August 27. The Planning Commission Nvill do the trail Nvallc, discuss the report and make its recommendation on September 2. Council Neill consider the report on September 8. The Planning Commission Neill host a neighborhood meeting on September 30. In mid - October Council Neill aNvard the contract for land acquisition services and authorize the preparation of plans and specifications. The ground breaking ceremony Nvill be the end of June 2015. In response to a question from Commissioner Maddy, Director Nielsen stated the Nvalkvmy Nvill end at County Road 19. Nielsen reiterated that he thought the next trail priority after Strawberry Lane Nvould be to extend the SmithtoN -,n Road trail from Countv Road 19 to Excelsior. Commissioner Davis asked if Excelsior Nvould cooperate on that extension. Director Nielsen stated he hoped so and that he hoped Hennepin County Nvould also help. Davis stated she assumes the people along Galpin Lake Road are happy because of that trail. Nielsen stated most are. 7. REPORTS Liaison to Council Chair Geng reported on Council's July 24 meeting (as detailed in the minutes of that meeting). SLUC Director Nielsen stated he has been somewhat disappointed Nvith the Sensible Land Use Coalition (SLUC) offerings lately. Commissioner Davis stated the round tables of knowledge Neill be coming up and that she thinks those are quite good. Other Commissioner Davis asked if the City has heard an -ahing more from the residents in the Summit Avenue area. CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING August 5, 2014 Page 7 of 9 Chair Geng stated he Nvas at the Minnehaha Creels Watershed District (MCWD) Board of Managers meeting on July 31. He explained that about ten Summit Avenue area residents showed up because the MCWD Nvas considering a permit for the planned unit development (PUD) in the City of Chanhassen not far from the Summit Avenue area. The developer had excavated the southernmost property on the PUD site and left huge mounds of dirt. The mounds Nvere easily 15 feet high. The developer had not put any silt fences in. The stormNvater flowed across the street and flooded several yards. The residents brought photographs that had been taken the previous day to show the Board. The developer had egg on his face. The Board Nvas quite concerned because the silt fences Nvere not up. What should have been a relatively simple permitting matter ended up consuming about 45 minutes of time. He noted there Nvas nothing the MCWD could do because it does not have regulatory authority over that part of Chanhassen. Director Nielsen explained Shorewood is a local government unit (LGU) and it delegates that Nvork to the MCWD for areas Nvithin the MCWD's jurisdiction. Because the Riley - Purgatory -Bluff Creek Watershed District ( RPBCWD) Nvas not doing much Nvith permitting a number of Nears ago the City obtained approval to have the MCWD have jurisdiction over that small area in the City that is in the RPBCWD boundaries. That area is basicallv the Christmas Lake and Silver Lake areas. Chanhassen is its oN -,n LGU. Chair Geng stated those residents raised other issues not relevant to the MCWD. For example, they criticized the rain gardens. MCWD staff stated those rain gardens Nvere Nvell designed. He then stated a couple of the members of the Board asked if any of the trees in the conservation easement area Nvould be damaged by construction. They also asked if the protection area should extend out further than the drip line. Director Nielsen stated for the Summit Woods PUD the only things that Neill be built close to the easement are the rain gardens. The easement area in Shorewood Nvill be fenced off before any digging begins. Chair Geng stated the MCWD staff Nvas on top of things for the most part. He then stated it appears the Nvork Shorewood did as part of the various PUD approval processes Nvas good from the MCWD's perspective. Director Nielsen stated the Citv's engineers had never seen a response from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) like the one the City received regarding the Summit Avenue traffic study. He explained that in Minnesota the standard posted speed for a residential street is 30 miles per hour unless a speed study is done and extreme circumstances are found which indicate it should be lower than that. A new posted speed is set to the speed 85 percent of the traffic Nvas traveling at. Therefore, the posted speed could be increased. The study came back Nvith a recommendation to not post a speed or advisory on Summit Avenue. Residents are expected to drive according to the conditions (the narrov'ness of Hummingbird Road and the curves and hill on Summit Avenue). He noted the City is still going to consider which of the four alternatives for improving Summit Avenue should be pursued. He clarified that the residents there do not like any of the four. In response to a comment from Commissioner Davis, Chair Geng noted the City of Saint Bonifacius has regulated the use of drones in the City. It is the first City to have done that. There Nvas ensuing discussion about drones. Commissioner Davis asked what the next ordinance the Planning Commission Nvill Nvork on is about. CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING August 5, 2014 Page 8of9 Director Nielsen explained whN- the ordinance amendment related to higher density for elderly housing Nvas not adopted by Council during its July 28, 2014, meeting. Council Nvants to look at sketches of what that type of density Nvould look like and how it Nvould fit on the SmithtoN -,n Crossing site. There Nvas concern about how 15 units per acre might look. The information from which staff determined that the City has a need for senior housing is about 23 Nears old. The Mayor thought that need should be revisited. if the rest of Council agrees Nvith that then he Nvill propose having Mr. Rick Fenske, an expert on senior housing, come to a future Council Nvork session to talk about life cycle housing. He assumes the Commissioners could attend. Nielsen stated the next area Neill be related to the GreenStep City Program best practices. The Planning Commission has brief[v discussed N ind generators and Council has suggested alternative energy in general be discussed Nvith a focus on Nvind energy and solar energy. He explained Council has asked that a request for proposal be N ritten for a consultant to do a study about what alternative energy opportunities there are for the City. On February 24, 2014 the Council heard a presentation by a representative of a company that proposed the City install a solar array that Nvould provide some portion of the electric power consumed by the Southshore Community Center (SSCC), the Badger Park Nvell building, Badger Field and Shorewood City Hall. The company- Nvould pay all of the infrastructure costs and basically sell the electricity to the City at a rate less than or equal to Xcel Energy s rate. The rate Nvould be guaranteed for a number of Nears. Some Council members Nvere uncomfortable Nvith moving forward so quickly. He clarified that the Commission Nvould be discussing alternative energy from a regulatory perspective for residential properties. Chair Geng stated that in July he attended the Workshop -on- the - Water. The Norkshop Nvas presented by the University of Minnesota in cooperation Nvith the Basset Creek Watershed Management Commission; Carver Water Management; the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District; the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District; and, the Riley - Purgatory -Bluff Creek Watershed District. The Nvorkshop Nvas held on the Queen of Excelsior. He noted the Nvorkshop Nvas very good. It Nvas about Nvater quality. He stated there Nvill be another Nvorkshop in September and it Nvill be about stream bank restoration. Commissioner Davis explained that this Near she Nvas a judge for Metro Blooms for the Urban Garden awards. There Nvere 1,000 gardens and 100 judges. She had 10 gardens to judge. She saw two gardens in south Minneapolis that Nvere incredibly beautiful. They Nvere typical homes in residential neighborhoods. She saw a fairy garden on a boulevard that Nvas spectacular. People can look at last Tear's pictures on Metro Blooms' Nvebsite. It Nvould be fun for the South Lake area to do something like that. She noted she did not see any rain gardens on the properties she judged. She spoke Nvith Metro Blooms about possibly putting on another rain garden session in the South Lake area. She indicated she Nvould be Nvilling to coordinate that endeavor. She noted that rain gardens require more maintenance than a garden. Commissioner Maddy asked if people have tried Milorganite. It is not touted to control deer but people sav it does. Director Nielsen stated the operators at the camp ground they leave their camper at have indicated it Nvorks Nvell to help control deer. Maddv stated he lilted the rain garden idea. He noted the GreenStep Cities BP Stormwater 17.5 is about adopting and implementing guidelines for, or adopting required design standards for at least one of the folloN ing stormwater infiltration/reuse techniques: rain gardens, green roofs and green alleys. He stated his property is on about 200 feet of clay. He asked if that is an issue for a rain garden. Director Nielsen responded it is and noted that Shorewood is not the ideal place for rain gardens because they depend on infiltration. When they are on clay the gardens need to have an outlet on the bottom. CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING August 5, 2014 Page 9of9 Chair Geng noted that the Minnehaha Creels Watershed District (MCWD) has a cost share program. The intent of that program is to encourage the implementation of best management practices. 8. ADJOURNMENT Maddy moved, Davis seconded, Adjourning the Planning Commission Meeting of August 5, 2014, at 8:43 P.M. Motion passed 4/0. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED Christine Freeman, Recorder MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council FROM: Brad Nielsen DATE: 28 August 2014 RE: Lubke, Roger - Minor Subdivision FILE NO.: 405 (14.12) BACKGROUND Mr. Roger Lubke is the owner of property located at 5915 Minnetonka Drive (see Site Location map — Exhibit A, attached). Mr. Lubke proposes to subdivide the lot into two building sites as shown on Exhibit B. The property contains 40,977 square feet of area and is occupied by the applicants' home, which sits on the highest portion of the lot It is a corner lot that currently fronts on Yellowstone Trail. The proposed lots will be 20,536 square feet (northerly lot) and 20,441 square feet (southerly lot) in area. The property is located in the R -1C, Single - Family Residential zoning district. ANALYSIS/RECOMMENDATION Both of the proposed lots meet or exceed the requirements of the R -1 C zoning district. The proposed subdivision is quite simple except for the location of the existing home, which would become grossly substandard in terms of zoning requirements if it were to remain. The applicant's realtor has indicated that it is intended that the home be demolished and the property sold as two building sites. The issue then, is timing. The City typically requires that subdivisions be recorded within 30 days of the Council's approval of the resolution approving the division. If this were extended to 60 days, it may be possible to get the house demolished and site restored prior to release of the resolution for recording. If the applicant wishes to record the division prior to the ®�® PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER Memorandum Re: Lubke - Minor Subdivision 28 August 2014 demolition, the City should require that an estimate or bid be provided from a demolition contractor for the cost of demolition and site restoration. From that estimate, a letter of credit or cash escrow for one and one -half times the amount of the cost. An escrow agreement would be executed providing for the home to be removed (including filling in the resulting hole) by 15 November 2014. With that, it is recommended that the minor division be approved subject to the following: 1. The applicant must provide legal descriptions and deeds for drainage and utility easements, 10 feet around each lot. 2. The applicant must provide an up -to -date (within 30 days) title opinion for review by the City Attorney. 3. Prior to release of the resolution approving the request, the applicants must pay one park dedication fee ($5000) and one local sanitary sewer access charge ($1200). Credit is allowed for the previous home on the site. 4. Since the division itself does not result in the removal of any trees from the property, tree preservation and reforestation can be addressed at the time building permits are applied for. 5. The issue relating to removal of the existing home must be resolved prior to release of the resolution approving the division.

Yards FILE NO. 405(14.15) BACKGROUND Mr. Peter Kapsner has purchased the property at 5905 Seamans Drive (see Site Location map - Exhibit A, attached). Mr. Kapsner intends to build a new home on the property as shown on Exhibit B. In doing so, he proposes to raise the grade on the property two to four feet over approximately the front third of the site. His intent is to raise the elevation of the portion of the property where the house will be in order to accommodate a full basement and to maintain the, current easterly drainage pattern on the site. The contractor estimates that the proposed grading plan will require approximately 300 cubic yards of fill to be brought into the site. Shorewood's Zoning Code requires a conditional use permit for fill in excess of 100 cubic yards., The subject property is zoned R -lA, Single- Family Residential and contains 40,903 square feet of area. The land is bounded on its west, north and south sides by single- family residential development. The Minnetonka Country Club is located to the east. ANALYSIS/RECOMMENDATION .The C.U.P. process for fill /grading projects serves several purposes: 1) heightened scrutiny on drainage issues; 2) control over traffic patterns -for trucks hauling fill; and 3) advising local residents of what can amount to a dramatic change in terrain. Although two to four feet of fill appears to be a lot, 300 yards is considered to be a relatively small amount and it is being placed on, a relatively, small portion of the site, with the deepest area being behind the home. " PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER Memorandum Re: Kapsner C.U.P. 28 August 2014 Having had instances in the past that resulted in "houses on humps ", staff asked the applicant to provide elevations of the home, including the profile of the proposed grading /fill. These are shown on Exhibits C and D. As illustrated, the grading is quite gradual, except for the small area behind the house. In his review of the C.U.P., the City Engineer makes the following recommendations: • For the building permit, the grading plan should be revised to show the contrast between existing and proposed contour lines • A defined swale should be graded across the front of the property that will conduct drainage to the north and then east across the north side of the lot • Silt fence must be placed around the entire area affected by construction The Building Official has reviewed a tree preservation and reforestation plan for the building permit and determined that the proposed fill /grading will result in no more trees being lost than if the fill were not being brought in. Subject to the City Engineer's recommendations, staff recommends approval of the C.U.P.

Exhibit E PROPOSED HOUSE ELEVATI ONS MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council FROM:' Brad Nielsen DATE: 27 August 2014 RE: Tilton, Linda and Louis — Conditional Use Permit - Accessory Space in Excess of 1200 Square Feet FILE NO.: 405 (14.14) BACKGROUND Linda and Louis Tilton own the property at 5620 Covington Road (see Site Location map — Exhibit A, attached). They propose to build an attached garage addition on the north side of the home (see Exhibit B) which, when combined with the floor area of other accessory structures on the property, puts the property in excess of 1200 square feet of accessory space, requiring a conditional use permit (Section 1201.03 Subd.2.d.). As explained in their architect's letter, dated 5 August 2014 (Exhibit C and supporting materials), the applicants would like to keep an existing old garage /carriage house located on the east end of the property. The structure is nonconforming with respect to its height (one and one -half stories) and its location (extending into the right- of- way'of Covington Road). Section 1201.03 Subd.2.d.(4)(e) of the Shorewood Zoning Code provides for the preservation of structures with "historic, cultural and /or architectural value ". The subject'property contains 54,901 square feet of area and is zoned R -IA/S, Single - Family Residential The property is characterized by a significant change in grade from Covington Road down to the shoreline of Christmas Lake. The site is occupied by the Tilton's home, the garage /carriage house, and a shed located to the west of the house. According to the architect, the house contains 4630 square feet of floor area in two' and a half stories above grade. The existing garage /carriage house contains 1242 square feet of ®�® PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER Memorandum Re: Tilton C.U.P. 27 August 2014 floor area in one and a half stories. The proposed garage will have 1032 square feet on the main level with a 576 square -foot room above. The shed on the west side of the property contains 252 square feet, for a total of 3102 square feet of floor area. Upon completion of the new garage, impervious surface on the site will reach 23.3 percent of the site area. Photos of the existing buildings are contained in the attached Exhibits. ISSUES AND ANALYSIS Following is how the applicants' request complies with Section 1201.03 Subd. 2.d.(4): 1. The total area of accessory space (3102 square feet) does not exceed the floor area above grade of the home (4630 square feet). 2. The total area of accessory space does not exceed ten percent of the minimum lot size for the R -IA/S zoning district (.10 x 40,000 = 4000 square feet). 3. The old garage /carriage house is nonconforming with respect to its height and its setback from the property line. As mentioned, the building actually encroaches onto the Covington Road right -of -way. The height of the building is mitigated somewhat by the fact that the building is tucked into the hillside. From the street it appears to be a one -story structure. The two -story side facing west is well hidden from surrounding properties. The shed does not comply with the lakeshore setback for Christmas Lake. It is 33 feet from the shoreline, whereas 75 feet is required. While nonconforming structures have been afforded certain protections under recent state legislation, the City is not required to allow the expansion of nonconformities (in this case the total amount of accessory space). The applicants have cited the provisions of Section 1201.03 Subd. 2.d.(4)(e) as justification for retaining the old buildings. In 2007, the City adopted an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan setting forth its intention to recognize and preserve special structures in Shorewood. This was followed by an amendment to the zoning regulations, providing for the preservation of certain nonconforming structures that have historical, architectural, or cultural significance. The Tiltons believe their buildings are consistent with the criteria for keeping such structures. a. The applicants have submitted aerial photos dating back to 1956 which show the subject buildings. The scale of these photos is somewhat small and do not lend themselves well to photocopying. The letter from their architect attests to the approximate age of the garage /carriage house and its historic and cultural value. The same case could be made for the construction and architectural detail (timber peg framing, etc.) of the shed which, Ms. Tilton tells us is shown in the 1956 photo. -2- Memorandum Re: Tilton C.U.P. 27 August 2014 b. The architect advises us in his letter that the garage /carriage house is structurally sound. C. Based upon the material submitted (see Exhibits C and G -J), the garage /carriage house could qualify under more than one of the criteria set forth in the code (i.e. historic and cultural). The Tiltons' background material provides good evidence to that effect. d. An ad hoc committee made up of Kris Sundberg (Council), Sue Davis (Planning Commission), and Justin Mangold (Park Commission), reviewed the material submitted by the applicants and voted unanimously to recommend to the Planning Commission that the property satisfied the historic preservation provisions of the Zoning Code. If the structures are found to have satisfied the criteria, a brief development agreement should be drafted, setting forth the applicants' right to keep the buildings in question and their responsibility to maintain them in good condition. Repairs or alterations to the structures should be consistent with its current style, character and materials. 4. The proposed garage is very much in keeping with the existing buildings on the property. RECOMMENDATION The applicants have done a good job demonstrating that the garage /carriage house is consistent with the City's intent and with its current Code requirements. Staff should be directed to draft a development agreement, pursuant to paragraph 3.e. in the preceding section, approving the conditional use permit. The agreement should be recorded with Hennepin County within 30 days of the adoption of the resolution approving the C.U.P.

Exhibit B PROPERTY SURVEY From: Jon Monson jrn91andschute.cgIngto Subject: piton CUP appiication•5620 Co R Da te: August 5, 2014 at 10:21 AM To: Honorable Planning Commissioners: Louie and Linda Tilton are requesting a Conditional Use Permit to add a three car garage to a home they bought in 1988. They have lived there for over 25 years without having a garage in close proximity to the house. They now wish to build that convenient garage so as to extend the viability of living in such a wonderful home. The original carriage house, built sometime in the 1920s or 30s, is up on Covington Road, about 300 feet from the house. Which means it is valuable for storage but not for vehicles. For that reason, the Tiltons wish to save the carriage house. Unfortunately, the carriage house counts against the permitted area of accessory uses, so unless it qualifies for an exception under 1201.03, it would have to be demolished. In lay terms, the criteria to meet is: It must have been in existence prior to 1956 —which it was; It must be structurally sound —which it is; It must be of historic, architectural or cultural value —which we will demonstrate below it is. The structure is historic by definition— Merriam - Webster Dictionary definition d of historic says: dating from or preserved from a past time or culture <historic buildings >. The existing structure was built sometime in the 1920s or 30s as a carriage house complete with chauffeur's quarters and was part of the summer camp compound. The structure has architectural value because it is part of the summer camp compound which, collectively, is an iconic example of an architecture which reigned on wilderness lakes from the Gilded Age throughout the Roaring Twenties. The home was featured in House & Garden in May, 1922, and was expanded and improved in the 1930s. The structure has cultural value because it is part of the summer camp compound which belonged to an era when families left the hot, dusty city and spent the entire summer at the lake while dad commuted by train to work back in the city. Who doesn't have great memories of vacations at the lake? This compound still has that essence. With these exemption tests being met as well a total compliance with all other . requirements of 1201.03, we respectfully request the approval of the CUP, permitting the retention of the historic carriage house.

Feathersong Lane - Scottsdale, Arizona 85255 City of Shorewood 5755 Country Club Road Shorewood, MN 55331 August 14, 2014 RE: 5620 Covington Road Caretaker House/Garage Dear City of Shorewood, We would like to formally register our support for our neighbors, Louis and Linda Tilton, who have lived at 5620 Covington Road for almost as long as we have lived here, and their request to keep their carriage house/garage intact and in the current location. If we wanted to live in Edina where charming, quaint, historical structures are torn down to be replaced by something "new ", we would move to Edina. Instead, we have chosen to live and raise our family here since 1985 because it is charming, quaint and has a sprinkling of historic structure that almost take one back to another time. We have seen the Tiltons improve their property over the years while maintaining the character of the old estate both inside and outside. We have personally seen the proposed plans and sketches for the garage close to the house and we believe the new garage for cars would be unobtrusive to both people driving on Covington as well as people enjoying the lake. For many years it certainly would be an eyesore for people to see a large hole in the ground if the historic building on Covington would have to be removed. it has always been well maintained and cared for. We still mourn the tree that had to come down for safety reasons on the north end of Ridge Road, because like the carriage house/garage, they are icons of Christmas Lake for those of us who live and visit here. We thank you for your time in considering our support to keep a part of history intake for all future residents and visitors to Christmas Lake in this wonderful community called Shorewood. Sincerely, Karen and Corky Vance / V« illiq il► i IT ifflo W-41 August 15, 2015 Re: Tilton Construction at 5620 Covington Rd, Shorewood To Whom It May Concern: We are writing on behalf of Linda and Louis Tilton. We have seen their proposed drawings and support their request to add a new garage attached to their current home and at the same time keep the garage/carriage house on Covington Road. We have been residence on Christmas Lake for over 40 years and are very much interested in preserving our neighborhood heritage and therefore request that you not remove the historical carriage house that was part of the original estate. Thank you for your consideration on this matter and hope you will allow the Tilton's to proceed with their plan as requested. James and Karen Meyer ffl 1 =-� To Whom It May Concern: I am a former resident of Ridge Road and have designed two books about Christmas Lake, including one about the history of the area. The Tilton property was featured in this book due to its historical significance, and for the same reason, the party to celebrate the publishing of the book was held at the Tilton home. The very existence of this book, a non-profit project sponsored by the Christmas Lake Homeowners Association, speaks to the importance this community places on its heritage. And the Tiltons' gracious hosting of the book launch party certainly reflects both their community involvement and the value they place on the historical significance of their property. Sadly, few of the early structures on Christmas Lake remain, and some of those that do are in disrepair and not likely to survive much longer. This makes the preservation of the few remaining historical buildings that are in good shape all the more critical. The Tiltons have been excellent stewards of their historic property, both in the maintenance of the old buildings and their sensitivity in making any improvements tie in to the historical look. This is evident on the drawings of the proposed garage. If the issue is a current regulation that prohibits more than one garage, I would hope that can be resolved by the Tiltons' commitment to continuing to use the building only for storage. I have never known them to use it for anything but storage. I also have personally experienced the hazardousness of walking down their driveway in winter. The long, steep, and often slippery drive represents a safety issue and hardship that clearly warrants the construction of a garage down by the house, with covered access. As public stewards of the community, I sincerely hope that you do not make the mistake of allowing a piece of our local history to be lost unnecessarily. And, in considering the Tiltons' request, please keep in mind their personal safety as they continue to enjoy their home into their senior years. Sincerely, Sharon Dana t� ( 2_(; ' ' Augustl4,2014 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: We have seen the Tilton plans to add a garage and support their request for that and to save the old carriage house on Covington Rd. We live directly across the street and our home was part of the original estate. The garage/carriage house and home are the remaining parts of that original estate. It would make no sense to require the removal of the historic structure. We support keeping the existing structure and allowing the Tiltons to build a garage down attached to their home.
