CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING September 2, 2014 Page 2of8 Director Nielsen explained Brent Hislop oN -,ns the property located at 6000 Strawberry Lane and Brian McConnell oN -,ns the property located at 5990 Strawberry Lane. Mr. Hislop proposes to buy the Nesterly 250 feet of Mr. McConnell's lot so they have applied for a minor subdivision and combination. Both properties are located in the R -IA, Single - Family Residential zoning district. The Hislop property currently contains 532 acres of land and the McConnell property contains 2.1 acres. Upon completion of the lot line rearrangement, the Hislop property Nvill contain 632 acres and the McConnell property Nvill contain 1.1 acres. Both of them Nvill meet or exceed the R -lA zoning standards. Nielsen stated staff recommends the applicants' request be approved subject to the folloNving conditions. The survey should be revised to show drainage and utility easements, 10 feet on each side of each lot line (some are shoN -,n as five feet). Proposed legal descriptions should be revised accordingly. 2. The applicants' attorney must prepare deeds for the above proposed drainage and utility easements. 3. The applicants' attorney must prepare an up -to -date (Nvithin 30 days) title opinion for review by the Citv Attornev. The Citv has alreadv received it. A public hearing has been scheduled for the September 22, 2014, City Council meeting to consider the vacation of existing easements in exchange for the new easements. Items 1 -3 should be submitted by 16 September. Upon receipt of a certified copy of the resolution approving the division/combination the applicants must record the division and combination Nvith Hennepin Countv Nvithin 30 days. Nielsen noted that both of the applicants Nvere present. Commissioner Labadie asked if the up -to -date title opinion has been revieNved by the City Attorney. Director Nielsen noted it has not. Maddy moved, Davis seconded, recommending approval of the minor subdivision for Brian McConnell for the property located at 5990 Strawberry Lane and the combination of the 2_50 westerly feet of that property with the property located at 6000 Strawberry Lane owned by Brent Hislop as well as the easement vacations in exchange for new easements subject to the conditions recommended by staff. Motion passed 510. Discussion moved to Item 5 on the agenda. 3. 8:00 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING — Conditional Use Permit for Fill in Excess of 100 Cubic Yards Applicant: Peter Kapsner Location: 5905 Seamans Drive Chair Geng opened the Public Hearing at 8:00 P.M., noting the procedures used in a Public Hearing. He stated this evening the Planning Commission is going to consider a conditional use permit (C.U.P.) for fill in excess of 100 cubic yards for Peter Kapsner, 5905 Seamans Drive. He explained the Commission is comprised of residents of the City of Shorewood who are serving as volunteers on the Commission. They are appointed by the City Council. The Commission's role is to help the City Council in determining zoning and planning issues. One of the Commission's responsibilities is to hold public hearings and to help develop the factual record for an application and to make a non - binding recommendation to the City CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING September 2, 2014 Page 3of8 Council. He noted that if the Commission makes a recommendation this evening, this item Nvill go before the City Council on September 22, 2014. Director Nielsen explained that Mr. Peter Kapsner has purchased the property located at 5905 Seamans Drive. Mr. Kapsner intends to build a new home on the property. He proposes to raise the grade on the property two to five feet over approximately the front third (or 40 percent) of the site. His intent is to raise the elevation of the portion of the propertv where the house Neill be in order to accommodate a full basement and to maintain the current easterIv drainage pattern on the site. The contractor estimates that the proposed grading plan Nvill require approximately 300 cubic yards of fill to be brought in to the site. Shorewood's Zoning Code requires a C.U.P. for fill in excess of 100 cubic yards. The property is zoned R -IA, Single - Family Residential and contains 40,903 square feet of area. The land is bounded on its Nvest, north and south sides by single - family residential development. The Minnetonka Country Club is located to the east. The C.U.P. process for fill/grading projects serves several purposes. It places heightened scrutiny on drainage issues and to ensure it Neill not create drainage issues for surrounding properties. It provides control over traffic patterns for trucks hauling fill. That is a minor issue for this request because the amount of fill that Nvill be brought in Neill not be significant. And, it advises local residents of what can amount to a dramatic change in terrain. Although two to five 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, Nvith the deepest area being behind the home. The grading is quite gradual, except for the small area behind the house. He reviewed the City Engineer's recommendations which are as follows • 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 to conduct drainage to the north and then east across the north side of the lot. The property in general drains to the east toward the Minnetonka Country Club's golf course. • Silt fence must be placed around the entire area affected by construction. Nielsen noted that staff recommends approval of the C.U.P. subject to the City Engineer's recommendations. He also noted that the City received two pieces of correspondence from property owners to the south of the subject property expressing concern about the potential negative impact on drainage on their property. He then noted that Mr. Kapsner Nvas present. Chair Geng stated the grading plan does not show the drainage awa -,T from the rear of the proposed house. Director Nielsen explained the drainage Nvill flow east from there the same waN- as it does now. Peter Kapsner, owner of the property located at 5905 Seamans Drive, stated based on discussions he had Nvith Director Nielsen and the Building Official he thought there Nvere three main issues that had to be addressed related to the fill. One Nvas not to build a house on a hump. Their intent is to build a house so the property Neill look somewhat the same. They Nvant to build a full basement so they have a place to go during severe Nveather vet do as minimal amount of raising height as possible and to make the increase in grade gradual. The second Nvas related to the quality of the fill. The builder's intent is to bring in clean, CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING September 2, 2014 Page 4of8 clay -based fill. The third issue Nvas to ensure drainage flows to the north and then east; similar to how it flows today. They are committed to ensuring there is no negative drainage impact on their neighbors. Commissioner Davis stated the proposed driveNvay has a 4.5 percent slope paved toNvard the south. Director Nielsen noted there Nvill be a swale on that side as Nvell and the Engineer Nvants that to connect to the swale on the north. Davis asked if that means there Nvill be drainage under the driveNvay. Nielsen stated there may have to be a culvert there. Chair Geng opened the Public Testimony Portion of the Public Hearing at 8:11 P.M. Karen Coune, 5935 Seamans Drive, noted her property is located to the south of Mr. Kapsner's property. She stated that she and her husband did have questions about drainage and the quality of the fill. They had been provided Nvith a copy of the staff report. She noted she Nvas pleased to hear Mr. Kapsner say he Nvas committed to being a good neighbor and to being careful Nvith his property. She expressed confidence that their issues have been discussed and addressed by staff and the applicant. Chair Geng closed the Public Testimony Portion of the Public Hearing at 8:13 P.M. Commissioner Davis stated the plans appear to address drainage across the front of the driveNvay but not off the actual driveNvay doN -,n from the garage. She Nvould like that to be a condition of approval. Labadie moved, Maddy seconded, recommending approval of the conditional use permit for fill in excess of 100 cubic yards for Peter Kapsner for the property he owns located at 5905 Seamans Drive subject to the City Engineer's recommendations and to all drainage concerns being addressed to the City Engineer's satisfaction. Motion passed 510. Chair Geng closed the Public Hearing at 8:19 P.M. 4. 8:10 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING — Conditional Use Permit for Accessory Space over 1200 Square Feet Applicant: Linda and Louis Tilton Location: 5620 Covington Road Chair Geng opened the Public Hearing at 8:20 P.M., and noted the same procedures used for the previous Public Hearing will be folloNved again. He stated this evening the Planning Commission is going to consider a conditional use permit (C.U.P.) for accessory space over 1200 square feet for Linda and Louis Tilton, 5620 Covington Road. Director Nielsen explained Linda and Louis Tilton oN -,n the property at 5620 Covington Road. They propose to build an attached garage on the north side of their home. That addition, when combined Nvith the floor area of other accessory structures on the property, puts the property in excess of 1200 square feet of accessory space. That requires them to obtain a C.U.P. in accordance Nvith Section 1201.03 Subd.2.d. of the City's Zoning Code. The applicants' architect's letter dated August 5, 2014 stated the applicants Nvould like to keep an existing nonconforming old garage /carriage house located on the east end of the property as Nvell as a small shed. When there is a nonconforming structure a property owner cannot exceed 1200 square feet of accessory space. Section 1201.03 Subd. 2.d.(4)(e) of the Shorewood Zoning Code provides for the preservation of structures Nvith "historic, cultural and /or architectural value ". If that structure Nvould be classified as such the nonconformity of the structure Nvould not be counted against the applicants. CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING September 2, 2014 Page 5of8 The subject property contains 54,901 square feet of area and is zoned R -lA/S, Single - Family Residential Shoreland. There is a significant grade change on the property from Covington Road doN -,n 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 Nvest 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 floor area in one and a half stories. The proposed garage Nvill have 1032 square feet on the main level Nvith a 576 square -foot room above. The shed on the Nvest 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 Nvill reach 23.3 percent of the site area; 25 percent is the maximum. He noted the meeting packet contains photographs of the existing buildings. Nielsen revieNved how the applicants' request complies Nvith the four criteria in Section 1201.03 Subd. 2.d.(4) of the City s Zoning Code. 1. The total area of accessory space (3 102 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- lA/S zoning district (.10 x 40,000 = 4000 square feet). The old garage /carriage house is nonconforming Nvith respect to its height and its setback from the property line. The structure actually encroaches onto the Covington Road right- of -Nvay. 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 Nvest is Nvell hidden from surrounding properties. The shed does not comply Nvith the lakeshore setback for Christmas Lake. It is 33 feet from the shoreline, Nvhereas 75 feet is required. While nonconforming structures have been afforded certain protections under recent state legislation, the City is not required to alloNv 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 ShoreNvood. This Nvas folloNved 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 Nvith the criteria for keeping such structures. a. The applicants have submitted aerial photos dating back to 1956 Nvhich show the subject buildings. The scale of these photos is somewhat small and do not lend themselves Nvell 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 Nvhich Ms. Tilton had noted is shoN -,n in the 1956 photo. They also submitted copies of photographs published in a 1922 House and Garden Magazine article titled The Summer Camp about the structures. b. The architect advises in his letter that the garage /carriage house is structurally sound. CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING September 2, 2014 Page 6of8 c. Based upon the material submitted 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), revieNved 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. e. 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 Nvith its current style, character and materials. 4. The proposed garage is very much in keeping Nvith the existing buildings on the property. Nielsen stated he thought the applicants have done a good job demonstrating that the garage /carriage house is consistent Nvith the Citv's intent and Nvith its current Code requirements and that staff recommends approval of the C.U.P. He noted the City received twelve pieces of v ritten correspondence from people familiar Nvith the history and culture of the Christmas Lake area all saying they support what the applicants are proposing. He reiterated staff should be directed to draft a development agreement, pursuant to paragraph 3.e. above approving the C.U.P. The agreement should be recorded Nvith Hennepin County Nvithin 30 days of the adoption of the resolution approving the C.U.P. Nielsen noted that the Tiltons Nvere present. Linda Tilton, 5620 Covington Road, noted they also had obtained a copy of photographs from the University of Minnesota from the 1940s Nvhich also shoNved the carriage house and the shed. The shed is more visible when the photographs are vieNved online than on a printed copy. Commissioner Maddv asked if the intent is to deem both the carriage house and the shed historic. Director Nielsen stated ves and explained that the shed fits the same elements as the carriage house and it has some architectural features. Ms. Tilton thanked the ad hoc committee for taking the time to look at photos and listen to Nvhat she had to sav, and for staff s efforts. Chair Geng stated the Tiltons did a nice job of getting people to send correspondence of support to the Citv. Seeing no one present to comment on the case, Chair Geng opened and closed the Public Testimony portion of the Public Hearing at 8:34 P.M. Chair Geng thanked the members of the ad hoc committee. He stated it is his recollection that this is the third time that the preservation ordinance has come into play. Commissioner Maddv stated he finds the request to be a little bit awkward being two structures on the parcel are considered to have some historical, architectural, or cultural significance yet the main structure does not and because the applicants Nvant to add a two -story attached garage. CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING September 2, 2014 Page 7of8 Louis Tilton, 5620 Covington Road, stated the garage /carriage house is located approximately 300 feet from their house. They Nvould drive up to the house and park outside rather than Nvalk that distance over the last 25 plus years they lived there. The proposed attached garage addition Nvill allow them to park close to their home and park inside. Commissioner Maddy stated if the current house is a gem itself then attaching a garage to look kind of like the house but taller than the house seems a bit off. Mr. Tilton clarified it Nvould not be taller than the house. There is a part of the house that is taller. Mr. Tilton stated part of the reason they teamed up Nvith the architect they did Nvas to make the proposed garage look as if it Nvas ahvays there. Commissioner Maddy noted that he is satisfied Nvith the explanation. Davis moved, Muehlberg seconded, recommending approval of the conditional use permit for accessory space over 1200 square feet for Linda and Louis Tifton, 5620 Covington Road, and directing staff to draft a development agreement, pursuant to paragraph 3.e. in the staff report, subject to the agreement being recorded with Hennepin County within 30 days of the adoption of the resolution approving the C.U.P. Motion passed 510. Chair Geng closed the Public Hearing at 8:39 P.M. P.M Discussion moved to Item 9 on the agenda. _5. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR This Nvas discussed after Item 2 on the agenda. There Nvere no matters from the floor presented this evening. 6. OLD BUSINESS / NEW BUSINESS Director Nielsen noted that during its August 25, 2014, meeting Council adopted the noise ordinance subject to changing two items. The hour refuse hauling could begin Nvas changed to 7:00 A.M. from 6:00 A.M. (the current start time). The alloNvable hours for domestic activities on Sunday and public holidays Nvere changed to between 8:00 A.M. and 8:00 P.M. The hours proposed had been between 8:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M. Chair Geng stated he assumes there Nvas no need for the Planning Commission to again discuss the ordinance based on the City of Excelsior's hours of operation which Nvas what the Commission talked about during its last meeting. Director Nielsen stated he thought changing the start time for refuse hauling makes it consistent Nvith Excelsior and Council must have thought the hours Nvere consistent enough Nvith Excelsior's. Director Nielsen noted that refuse haulers have until November 1, 2014, to adjust their start time. Commissioner Muehlberg asked if changing the start time hour for refuse haulers has a major impact on the haulers. Nielsen stated that a 7:00 A.M. start time is quite common. Chair Geng stated he assumes the rest of the ordinance Nvould go into effect upon publication. Director Nielsen confirmed that. CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING September 2, 2014 Page 8of8 7. DRAFT NEXT MEETING AGENDA Director Nielsen stated tonight's Item 1 could potentially be considered during the Planning Commission's October 7, 2014, meeting. The Commission Nvill likely do its Nvallc of the potential SmithtoN -,n Road east N -,allcN -,gay /trail that evening so the meeting NN 11 start earlier because of the diminishing daylight. He Neill put a study session item on the agenda as Nvell. 8. REPORTS Liaison to Council No report Nvas given. SLUC Other Chair Geng recessed the meeting at 7:47 P.M.

The proposed project involves the construction of a concrete sidewalk along the south side of Smithtown Road, including concrete curb and gutter and storm sewer, to improve drainage conditions in the area. We are available at your convenience to discuss this report. Please feel free to contact me at (651) 286 -8453 if you have any questions regarding this proposed project. Sincerely, WSB & Associates, Inc. Paul Hornby, PE City Engineer Enclosure cc: Brad Nielsen, City of Shorewood Larry Brown, City of Shorewood Equal Opportunity Employer wsbeng.com 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Smithtown Road East Sidewalk Extension project, City Project No. 14 -10, was initiated by the City Council at their June 23, 2014 meeting. Improvements proposed for construction in 2015 include approximately 4,100 feet (0.78 miles) of concrete walk to be constructed along the south side of Smithtown Road extending from Smithtown Way (where sidewalk improvements constructed in 2014 end) to Country Club Road. Sidewalk improvements along Smithtown Road are proposed for the following reasons: • Provide an off - street access route for pedestrians between the Hennepin County Region Rail Authority (HRRRA) Trail and the existing pedestrian facilities located at Country Club Road. • Improve pedestrian and vehicle safety. • Control area drainage and improve existing drainage issues. • Improve water quality of stormwater runoff in the area. A map illustrating the project location can be found on Figure I in Appendix A. A total estimated project cost for the proposed sidewalk and storm sewer improvements is approximately $1,043,000, which incorporates 2014 construction costs, includes a 10% construction contingency, and indirect costs in the amount of 27% of the estimated construction costs. The indirect costs include legal, engineering, administrative, and financing considerations. Easement acquisition will be necessary to construct the sidewalk as proposed herein, but due to the variability in land acquisition issues, has not been included in the total estimated project cost. This project, as proposed, will be prepared for State Aid funding eligibility. However, at this time, the construction account for State Aid funds has been allocated to other projects. A portion of the project may be funded using an advance for State Aid funds with the remaining to be funded through local (City) trail funds. It is proposed that construction begin in July 2015 and be completed by mid- November 2015, including all restoration items. This project is feasible, necessary, and cost - effective from an engineering standpoint and should be considered as proposed herein. The economic feasibility of this project will need to be determined by the City Council.

Also, the driveway is shown as being only 10 feet in width. A condition of approval should include a minimum of 12 feet with the common portion of the shared driveway no less than 16 feet. Due to the location of the northerly building pad, the driveway may have to increase to 20 feet with a Fire Code turnaround, unless the applicant proposes to install a sprinkler system in the home. 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 E easements, 10 feet around each lot. I 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.

Exhibit B shows the current configuration of the two lots. Michael Johander, Trustee, proposes to rearrange the lot line between the two properties as shown on Exhibit C. The subject properties are located in the R -lA/S, Single - Family Residential /Shoreland zoning district. The smaller, easterly lot contains 1.04 acres, and the larger, westerly parcel contains 3.15 acres. The sizes of the parcels upon completion of the subdivision/combination will be 3.06 acres for the easterly,parcel and 1.13 acres for the westerly parcel. This proposal is quite simple - both lots will meet or exceed the requirements of the Zoning Code. The only complication is that the existing drainage and utility easements along the current common lot line must be vacated. Replacement easements will be recorded with the division/combination. A public hearing for the easement vacation is scheduled for 27 October, when this item will be considered by the City Council. Subject to the applicant's attorney preparing deeds for the new easements and an up -to- date title opinion for the property, approval of the division/combination and vacation of existing easements is recommended.
