2. PARK PLANS AND PRIORITIES
Director Nielsen stated a few months ago a Councilmember suggested Council and staff meet more than
once a year in a joint session to ensure that Council and the Commission are moving forward in the same
direction. He noted issues invariably come down to money.
Chair Mangold stated the Commission’s hurdle to overcome is Badger Park and the best way to do that is
for the Commission to meet with Council to solicit Council’s feedback and to get major decisions made in
a timely manner. The Commission has always thought it was best to get the Badger Park Improvements
done together. What gets done with Badger Park sets the tone for everything else that gets done with the
parks. From his vantage point the Commission has heard multiple times that there are also other priorities
in the City that need funding. He thought that what makes the Commission unique is it is a group that has
the responsibility to look at the ongoing future of the parks. For example, the pickleball court is more than
the Parks annual budget.
Director Nielsen stated there is limited money in the Park Improvements Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) much of which is slated for improvements to Badger Park. Suggestions for parks come up such as
the pickleball court for a bid cost of $50,000. But does that get funded out of money that would have been
used for Badger Park? The tendency has been to add projects but not necessarily money to fund them.
Mayor Zerby stated that in general, when parks have been discussed, it has been done from the
perspective of highest and best use of the property. From a priority standpoint he asked the Commission
where the need is for the City’s parks overall.
Chair Mangold stated from his perspective it is important to do the Badger Park improvements correctly
the first time.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD WORK SESSION OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND PARK COMMISSION
April 24, 2017
Page 2 of 7
Councilmember Siakel asked the Commission to help frame the issue it thinks needs to be addressed. At
the end of 2016 the Council agreed to set aside $200,000 from the General Fund reserves for Badger Park
improvements. The final plat for the second phase of the Minnetonka Country Club (MCC) development
has been submitted so the City should receive about $290,000 in park dedication fees in 2017 and that
would go into the Park Improvements Fund.
Chair Mangold stated improvements to the City Hall campus parking lot are going to be more costly than
planned. There are large items within Badger Park that still have to be worked out; for example, what the
building should be. He then stated reconstruction of the tennis courts was not in the original budget for
improvements. It has been determined that has to be done.
Councilmember Siakel stated she thought the tennis courts were included in the original concept plan for
the Park with the assumption that would be done further down the road. Director Nielsen explained the
need to reconstruct the tennis courts became a priority much sooner than anticipated. When the contractor
last put a surface coat on the courts he informed staff that the next time the courts would have to be
reconstructed.
Siakel asked how much Council approved for the original Concept Plan. Director Nielsen stated he
thought $1.3 million.
Director Nielsen explained the Commission recently discussed if it was necessary to purchase two pieces
of playground equipment. The consensus was one piece would be sufficient and that would bring costs
down. There is no need for the building to be a warming house but there is a desire for it to have
restrooms in it. He then explained users of Badger Park, the Southshore Center and City Hall all use the
City Hall campus parking lot. Yet, the improvements to the lot are scheduled to be paid out of the Park
Improvements Fund. Maybe the improvements could be paid for out of numerous funds. There are also a
number of drainage issues that needed to be mitigated as part of the improvements.
Mayor Zerby stated if there was a desire to make all of the improvements next year the City would have
to bond for that funding. Typically Council has not had a desire to do that unless it was for a very large
project.
Director Nielsen stated the City could borrow, for example, from the Water Fund to fund the
improvements and pay it back over time with interest.
Mayor Zerby noted that the 2017 roadway projects are going to cost 20 percent more than those approved
in the Street Reconstruction CIP approve late 2016. That is a $200,000 increase. The use of money in the
Water Fund needs to be prioritized.
Commissioner Rock stated if all of the improvements to Badger Park were done in one year there would
not be any funding available for other park needs for 2 – 3 years. He then stated that three of
Commissioners are new and they do not understand why some of the projects in the Park Improvements
CIP are in there. The Commission does not think there is a better use for park funding than the
improvements to Badger Park. He asked if Council wants to finish the improvements to Badger Park now
with the understanding there would not be any funding available for the nest 2 – 3 years. He noted that the
park dedication fees for the MCC development do not all come in at the same time.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD WORK SESSION OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND PARK COMMISSION
April 24, 2017
Page 3 of 7
Mayor Zerby stated a new lacrosse field has been constructed in Badger Park. There has been discussion
about parking lot improvements and playground equipment needs. There are some things that are in flux.
He asked what the Commission wants Council to approve next.
Chair Mangold stated the 2019 Park Improvements CIP includes $750,000 in projects with most of it
being for Badger Park phase two improvements. The $85,000 for improvements to the parking lot is
included in that. Creating a pickleball court for a cost of $50,000 is included in the 2017 CIP.
Councilmember Labadie stated if the pickleball court in the Skate Park is not done that Park would be
empty. Councilmember Siakel asked why that would be a problem.
Councilmember Labadie stated as the liaison to the Park Commission, she senses the Commission is
frustrated because it does not know how much funding is available. Also, the cost for various pieces of
playground equipment varies significantly. The Commission wants to move forward responsibly and does
not want things to stall. The Commission does not want to take $50,000 out of funds planned for Badger
Park to pay for the pickleball court. She then stated she thought Council is frustrated because it only hears
about general concepts. It is difficult for Council to make financial decisions when all of the necessary
funding is not there and when it does not have final numbers.
Mayor Zerby stated that Council cannot essentially write a blank check for Badger Park improvements.
Council needs to be presented with specifics costs for those improvements. There are a lot of issues in the
City that have to be addressed. He explained the City found a partner to help fund the lacrosse field. A
decision was made to take out the ice rink in the Park. He does not think Council has stopped the progress
with the Park. Over the last couple of years improvements have continued to be made.
Chair Mangold stated the Commission believes Council has been supportive. He then stated it is prudent
for Council and the Commission to have a similar vision going forward. He clarified that the Commission
does not want to push the limit on spending on the Park.
Councilmember Siakel noted the Commissioners are volunteers and Council appreciates what they do.
She stated she does not think there is a need to be everything to everyone with regard to parks. She stated
from her perspective it would not be a problem if the Skate Park sat empty for a while. There is a nice
parking lot for the community gardeners over there; the number of gardens had been expanded over there.
It is not accurate to say the Skate Park is not used. She noted she would like to make Badger Park a first
class park. She asked what the next incremental improvement to Badger Park is and what the cost for it
would be. She noted Council has been supportive of improvements to the Park. She questioned the need
for a hockey rink in Freeman Park noting there is a rink in Cathcart Park. She does not think there is need
for three hockey rinks. She suggested reevaluating the needs for each of the City’s parks.
Councilmember Johnson asked what kind of data about usage of each of the parks was considered when
preparing the CIP. He stated he lives near Cathcart Park and he has never seen a game of pickup hockey
with more than 3 or 4 players. He has never seen it seen a youth hockey organization use it. He
questioned the need for spending $150,000 in 2020 on hockey boards. He is not sure if a rink in Freeman
Park would be used. He asked what data supports the need for that. He does not view Cathcart Park as
being a viable hockey park. Councilmember Labadie clarified the rink is used by youth hockey leagues
noting her child’s team used it. She stated that frequently parents of hockey team members have cleared
the snow off of the ice. Unfortunately, it takes Public Works extra time to bring the rink into better shape.
Johnson reiterated he has not ever seen the rink being used by many people and he drives by it all the
time. Commissioner Vassar stated it gets used; she works in the warming house. She explained the usage
increased after the rink in Badger Park was eliminated last fall.

April 24, 2017
Page 4 of 7
Councilmember Labadie stated during the last Commission meeting Commissioner Rock noted that the
cost to create a pickleball court will go up for 2018. If a decision is not made about moving forward with
that soon it won’t get done in 2017. She thought Council needs to make a decision about that
immediately. From her vantage point, that is the number one decision that needs to be made.
Commissioner Rock stated he thought the Commissioners want to get things done. He then stated he
agreed with Councilmember Siakel that the City cannot please everyone. He suggested people come up
with a list of priorities that reflects what items need to be done first so as not to cause things to be redone
because they were damaged when other improvements were made.
Councilmember Siakel asked if the Commission anticipates using the $200,000 set aside from the General
Fund reserves for parking lot improvements. Director Nielsen stated it is in the mix. Chair Mangold stated
it is part of the second phase parking lot improvements.
Mayor Zerby stated the CIP indicates there is more than $1.3 million in total allocated to Badger Park
from 2017 – 2019.
Councilmember Siakel stated there is about $500,000 ($200,000 from reserves and the $291,000 from
MCC park dedication fees) available in to 2017. She asked what that will be used for. Chair Mangold
stated the estimate for Badger Park phase 1 is now $600,000. Siakel asked how the Commission wants to
spend $500,000 on Badger Park, noting she does not need to know what the next phase is. She stated she
does not know what the issue is for 2017.
Director Nielsen stated he thought pickleball is a good idea; some people want it and the Skate Park is
half empty. He asked if spending that $50,000 in 2017 on a pickleball court means something for Badger
Park would not be funded.
Mayor Zerby stated he thought the $50,000 cost for pickleball is a distraction. He asked what is
happening with Badger Park. Chair Mangold stated that is being used as an example. Other examples are
the expansion of asphalt in Freeman Park parking lot in 2017 and the hockey boards in Cathcart Park in
2020.
Councilmember Siakel stated the tennis courts in Freeman Park are used all the time. She then stated she
would support focusing on one project, some improvements to Badger Park in 2017. If additional money
is needed, Council and staff need to find where it can come from or acknowledge that there is no funding
for it.
Chair Mangold stated he thought a lot of the smaller items become the squeaky wheel.
Mayor Zerby noted that Council can only deal with budgets one year at a time. Councilmember Siakel
concurred. Zerby stated the CIP is a long-term planning tool; it is not a guarantee there will be funding for
the projects when the time comes. He then stated unplanned needs come up all the time.
Councilmember Siakel again asked how the $500,000 for parks would be spent in 2017. That is a
significant amount of money in one year.
Mayor Zerby stated he thought the warming house in Badger Park is going to be taken down. Chair
Mangold stated the plans include constructing a new building in a new location.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD WORK SESSION OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND PARK COMMISSION
April 24, 2017
Page 5 of 7
Commissioner Vassar asked if Council is looking for Badger Park to be a destination park or a
community park. Director Nielsen responded a community park.
Councilmember Johnson stated he does not know how Council can answer that question until a decision
has been made about what to do with the Southshore Center. The City has a request for information (RFI)
out and it is waiting for responses. Hopefully the responses will provide some idea of what to do with the
facility. Or if there are no responses, the City has to determine what the value of that facility is. He would
prefer to make a decision on Commissioner Vassar’s question until Council hears about the Center. He
then stated Freeman Park is more of a destination because of the high sports usage.
Johnson noted he was pleased to hear youth hockey leagues use the rink in Cathcart Park. He stated if he
was going to take his daughters ice skating he would take them to the rink in the City of Deephaven.
There is a nice warming house there and there is a Zamboni there.
Johnson stated once there is hockey in Freeman Park he questioned how much the rink in Cathcart Park
would be used. They are in close proximity of each other. Director Nielsen stated that is a good question
because one half of the market for the use of the Cathcart Park is from Chanhassen.
Mayor Zerby stated that he recently learned that Shorewood almost purchased Cathcart Park by mistake.
Shorewood did not know the park was in Chanhassen until after it was purchased. He noted that
Chanhassen has not been much of a partner since day one. Chanhassen has begrudgingly come along over
the years.
Director Nielsen noted Eddy Station in Freeman Park was built to be a warming house.
Councilmember Johnson stated he would prefer to see pickleball at Cathcart Park except for the fact that
pickleball is going in at Roundhouse Park in Chanhassen.
Mayor Zerby stated with regard to usage comments have been made that no one ever plays tennis at
Badger Park. Director Nielsen stated everyone has concluded that no one uses the Skate Park yet over the
last few weeks there has been some activity there.
Councilmember Siakel stated the Shorewood parks are about Shorewood residents. There will be
crossover from other cities. She does not believe the City has to create parks that draw from other cities in
the metro area. She does not think the traffic issue needs to be exacerbated at Badger Park. Badger Park
should be an amenity that supports the people living in Shorewood. She then stated there is a hockey rink
in Manitou Park in the City of Tonka Bay very near the Shorewood/Tonka Bay border and she questioned
the need for another one in Shorewood. She suggested trying to make effective use of the City’s parks.
Councilmember Johnson stated he does not think there is a plan to spend much on the passive space in
Badger Park. There is something to be said for putting in trails and things that are not about active use.
Director Nielsen stated he thought the Park will ultimately have a lot of passive space. There will be the
picnic area and the Village Green Space. He noted the Commission has indicated it wants open space in
every park; space that is not used for anything specific. Johnson stated there is passive space in Freeman
Park; unfortunately, it is overrun with buckthorn. Nielsen stated there is a wide open area in Manor Park.
Johnson then stated that he thought constituents who are not sports activists should hear about other
things their tax dollars are being used for.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD WORK SESSION OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND PARK COMMISSION
April 24, 2017
Page 6 of 7
Chair Mangold stated the Commission has had a lot of discussion about how to use the center space in
Badger Park. The number one reason the hockey rink in Badger Park had to go was to create more passive
space (i.e.; open lawn or green lawn).
Councilmember Siakel asked if the City has received any complaints about the removal of the hockey
rink in Badger Park. She had not. Chair Mangold stated no one has come before the Commission to
complain. Commissioner Vassar stated someone asked her why it was taken out.
Commissioner Vassar stated people would go between Badger Park and Manitou Park depending on how
busy the ice rinks were. She then stated if a rink goes in at Freeman Park she thought the rink in Cathcart
Park would continue to be used. She commented people sometimes say Shorewood is a city of hockey.
Councilmember Labadie stated Commissioner Vassar has a unique perspective because she is a rink
attendant at a couple of park locations.
Director Nielsen stated he considers the rink in Freeman Park to be replacing the rink in Badger Park. He
then stated he thought Councilmember Johnson made a good point about there being a rink in Freeman
Park and a rink in Cathcart Park.
In response to a comment from Councilmember Johnson, Chair Mangold clarified the CIP does not
include anything about installing hockey boards around the rink in Freeman Park in 2017. Johnson asked
how hockey could be played without hockey boards. Mangold stated the first step at Freeman Park was to
create a free skating rink. Commissioner Vassar stated the goal was to have that for this past winter but
the ground got too hard before that was created.
Chair Mangold stated his goal is to talk about potential CIP projects more than six months in advance.
Commissioner Barr stated she thought one of the goals of this meeting was to discuss whether or not a
pickleball court at Skate Park should be created in 2017. It had been her understanding that leaving that
open was not a palatable option. She noted it would be her preference to focus funding on Badger Park.
Mayor Zerby stated that the Commissions are recommending bodies and Council decides whether or not
to approve the recommendation. He asked if the Commission had not recommended moving forward with
the pickleball court. Commissioner Barr stated it was tabled during the Commission’s last meeting
pending this discussion with Council. Director Nielsen clarified that last year the Commission
recommended it and that is how it ended up being included in the CIP.
Chair Mangold stated the pickleball court was included in the 2017 CIP as an option. Based on the
feedback from Council now he thought the Commission should decide if it should push to move forward
with the court.
Mayor Zerby stated if the Commission decides the pickleball court is not a high priority that is fine with
Council. If the Commission thinks it is then Council needs to discuss that. He understands the
Commission to be saying that is not the best use of funds at in 2017.
Councilmember Siakel stated it was her recollection there was discussion about using one of the tennis
courts in Badger Park for both tennis and pickleball. Director Nielsen noted a tennis court in Manor Park
is striped for pickleball.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD WORK SESSION OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND PARK COMMISSION
April 24, 2017
Page 7 of 7
Councilmember Johnson reiterated he wants to see usage data. He asked if the community garden at the
Skate Park is sold out. If so, maybe the garden should be expanded to be a better use for the community.
Councilmember Siakel suggested refocusing. The discussion should be about what are people going to
use, what is truly valued and what is considered to be an amenity. If there is a hockey rink in one park that
would be an amenity. She asked if there is something the City is missing. She stated the only place to play
tennis in the City is Badger Park. Councilmember Johnson clarified it can be played in Cathcart Park.
Mayor Zerby noted in Manor Park also.
Siakel expressed her desire to do one thing and to do it right. She also stated Council cannot commit to
what can be done two years from now. She clarified this Council believes parks are important. She again
asked the Commission what it wants to do with the 2017 funding for park improvements.
Commissioner Vassar stated over the last nine months the City received a lot of emails expressing their
desire for a pickleball court near the senior housing development.
Councilmember Labadie asked if the Commissioners thought Council has provided enough insight to
make a recommendation to Council after the Commission’s next meeting.
Commissioner Rock stated the Commission has heard different opinions expressed by the
Councilmembers. The Commission was trying to look out a few years, and maybe that was not the right
focus.
Mayor Zerby stated it is helpful to have a long-term vision.
Councilmember Labadie stated she understands Council to be asking the Commission to make
recommendations for Council to consider.
Councilmember Siakel thanked the Commissioners for volunteering their time and for their efforts.

4. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
There were no matters from the floor presented this evening.
5. PUBLIC HEARING
A. Riviera Lane and Shorewood Lane Improvements, City Project 17-04
Mayor Zerby opened the Public Hearing at 7:05 P.M.
Engineer Hornby explained this Public Hearing is for the Riviera Lane and Shorewood Lane Street and
Utility Improvement Project. Shorewood Lane is located north of County Road 19 (Smithtown Road) just
east of the public safety facility in Shorewood. Riviera Lane is located south of Yellowstone Trail
between Yellowstone Trail and Highway 7.
The street and utility improvements would include complete reconstruction of both streets with concrete
curb and gutter, the addition of storm sewer to direct the water and control the drainage, and minor
sanitary sewer improvements (including inflow and infiltration reduction). The reconstructed streets
would be 28 feet wide back-to-back of curb.
Consideration is being given to extending 8-inch watermain under the roadways. All the properties along
the two roadways are currently served by private wells. New services would be installed to the right-of-
way (ROW). The City installs a shutoff at the ROW. The property owners would be responsible for
connecting between the house and the ROW. Each new connection requires a permit, meter and
accessories.
The watermain extension would involve extending 8-inch watermain from Echo Road across County
Road 19 to Shorewood Lane and then under Shorewood Lane. For Riviera Lane there are two options.
Option 1 is to extend the watermain along Yellowstone Trail from the stub at Club Valley Road east to
Riviera Lane and then under Riviera Lane. Option 2 is to extend it from the stub at Lake Linden Court
west to Riviera Lane and then under Riviera Lane
The total estimated Project cost excluding watermain extension is $1,287,500. Of that $1,012,300 is for
street improvements and they would be paid for out of the Street Reconstruction Fund; $27,000 is for
sanitary sewer improvements and they would be paid for out of the Sewer Fund; and $248,200 is for
drainage improvements and they would be paid for out of the Stormwater Management Fund. Those costs
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
April 24, 2017
Page 3 of 17
are the same for both options. Option 1 watermain extension is estimated to cost $1,025,000; of that
$717,200 would be paid for out of the Water Fund and $307,800 would come from special assessments.
The total estimated project cost including watermain Option 1 is $2,312,500. Option 2 watermain
extension is estimated to cost $997,300; of that $689,500 would be paid for out of the Water Fund and
$307,800 would come from special assessments. The total estimated project cost including watermain
Option 2 is $2,284,800.
The per-property assessment amount for watermain extension along Shorewood Lane and Riviera Lane
would be $11,620 for a single-family unit and $17,430 for a multi-family unit. Those amounts are based
on the formula in the City’s Ordinance. There are a total of 23 units.
He highlighted the schedule for the proposed project. During this Public Hearing Council can decide if it
wants to order the project including which, if any, watermain extension Option after taking public
comment. Council would be asked to approve plans and specifications during June. The bid opening
would be in July. The construction contract would be awarded in August. If a decision is made to move
forward with the watermain extension an assessment hearing would be set in September with the hearing
being in October. The final bituminous wear course would be put down in the spring or summer of 2018.
Engineer Hornby clarified that no properties along Yellowstone Trail, County Road 19 or Echo Road
were included in the watermain portion even though watermain will be extended along them to get to
Riviera Lane and Shorewood Lane. The watermain extension along those three roads would be funded out
of the Water Fund.
Mayor Zerby opened the Public Testimony portion of the Public Hearing at 7:14 P.M.
Elizabeth Reid, 6115 Riviera Lane, asked staff to comment on how the stormwater flow after the
improvements. Engineer Hornby explained that for both Shorewood Lane and Riviera Lane it will be
directed to essentially where it currently goes. Ms. Reid stated there is a pond near Riviera Lane. Hornby
stated water can be directed to the pond and there will be an outlet to keep the pond from overflowing into
the street.
Ms. Reid then asked what the per-foot cost would be to run a water line from the house to the street
noting her house is located about 400 feet from the street. Engineer Hornby stated he has heard from
residents estimates were as low as $3,000 and as high as $6,000. There are permit fees which would cover
a meter and accessories; that would cost about $350 to $400.
Ms. Reid stated if a property owner hooked up to municipal water she asked if they could still use their
well water to, for example, water their garden. Engineer Hornby responded yes and explained the City
does not require a property owner to abandon the well but the well would have to be disconnected from
the house. The well cannot be connected to the municipal water system.
Jim McFarland, 6120 Riviera Lane, stated it sounds like the estimated assessment would be close to
$12,000 for a single-family property. There are a number of younger families who have moved into his
neighborhood and that cost could prove to be a hardship for them. He asked if the City can help ease that
burden. Engineer Hornby explained the City extends the assessment over a period of years (e.g.; 10 or 15
years); it is paid back with interest. Mr. McFarland asked what the interest rate would be. Hornby
clarified 1 – 2 percent above the municipal bond rate. In response to another question, Hornby explained
that would be on a property tax bill as an assessment. In response to another question, Hornby noted the
City does not require a property owner to hook up to municipal water when available but they are still
assessed for it. Mr. McFarland asked if there is any benefit to connecting to the water system when it is

first put in. Hornby stated the property owner would only go through construction once. Hornby cited a
project where a number of residents hired a plumber to connect their properties at the same time to try and
reduce the cost; that was done before the final wear course was put down.
Mr. McFarland asked if there is a way to splice into his existing plumbing noting his basement is finished
or would it have to be connected to the main line at the base of the house. Engineer Hornby stated the
City has seen both done.
Tim McGlennen, owner of the 5615 Shorewood Lane property, asked what the term of the assessment
would be. Attorney Keane stated the last one was 10 years and noted that the interest rate has typically
been 1.5 percent over the municipal bond rate. Mr. McGlennen asked if the rate would be set during the
assessment hearing. Keane confirmed that. In response to a question from Mr. McGlennen, Engineer
Hornby explained he thought it would be unlikely that the City would increase the assessment amount
from what has been presented this evening while noting Council does have the option to do that.
In response to a comment from Mr. McGlennen, Engineer Hornby stated the City has a tiered water rate
tied to consumption.
Engineer Hornby explained the connection fee is $10,000 less any assessment. The $11,620 assessment
for a single-family home would he higher than the fee so there would be no other fees other than the
permit and associated costs.
Mr. McGlennen stated there is a duplex on his property so the assessment on his property would be close
to $17,500. Then there is the cost of about $10,000 for two hookups. That would end up costing about
$28,000 to get water to the two units. He does not think there is that much value to what is being
proposed being there is already water there and his well there is relatively new.
Mr. McGlennen stated his rental units to not have separate sewer services. He asked why he would have
to have two water lines to the duplex. Director Nielsen explained the sewer service is not shut off for
nonpayment, but water service is.
Todd Boynton, 6155 Riviera Lane, noted he and his wife have lived in their home since 1994. He stated
he thought the pond referred to earlier has overflowed and water flowed across the road maybe twice. He
would like to have the stormwater diverted into the pond and have an outlet there. That would eliminate
Mr. McFarland’s problem with pooling. During droughts the pond dries up and looks bad. There are
bricks and debris in the bottom of the pond. Most of the time there is 1 – 2 feet of water in it.
Allan Vanderlinde, owner of the 5550 Shorewood Lane property, noted he purchased the property in
1983, but he does not currently live at the property. He also noted that he was opposed to the watermain
extension. He does not want to spend $25,000 or more to get what he currently has and has had for 34
years. He explained that he currently lives along Star Lane. Two years ago Star Lane was rebuilt. He
thought that project was a disaster. There would be 2 – 3 week time periods when there was no
construction activity because people were waiting for a different subcontractor to come. During that time
the roadway was barely drivable. He does not want his tenants on Shorewood Lane go through the same
thing. With the project completion being less than a year old there is some significant puddling in areas
on Star Lane. He reiterated that he was opposed to the watermain extension. He stated if he project moves
forward he encouraged the City to try and get the roadway reconstruction done faster.
Rob Messe, 6185 Riviera Lane, noted he fully supports the Riviera Lane project. He stated he appreciates
the other property owners’ comments about the pond. That pond is a nice asset. There is a major drainage

problem at the end of the circle on Riviera Lane and he was encouraged to hear that the project could help
mitigate that. The stormwater backs up on to his property. He values that fire hydrants would be installed
because of municipal water system.
Mayor Zerby closed the Public Testimony portion of the Public Hearing at 7:33 P.M.
Councilmember Labadie asked how many multi-family dwelling units there are along the two roadways.
Engineer Hornby stated he does not have that breakdown.
In response to a question from Councilmember Siakel, Engineer Hornby explained what is being
proposed in the Feasibility Report is the City would pay for the cost to extend watermain along
Yellowstone Trail from the stub at Club Valley Road east to Riviera Lane or from the stub at Lake Linden
Court west to Riviera Lane. It would also pay extending 8-inch watermain from Echo Road across County
Road 19 to Shorewood Lane. The benefiting property owners would be assessed for the watermain under
Riviera Lane and Shorewood Lane. Siakel questioned why he City would pay a $1 million tab to extend
watermain up to Riviera Lane and Shorewood Lane rather than assess for that. Hornby explained that
cities often front the cost to extend a trunk water line. The line along Yellowstone Trail would be
considered a trunk because it would be larger than an 8-inch lateral line. The City may pick up some users
along the route prior to the two roadways. Council can direct staff to consider assessing all of the
properties along the new watermain routes.
Councilmember Siakel noted she wants property owners to be treated consistently. She questioned why
the City would not assess the property owners for the watermain extension up to Riviera Land and
Shorewood Lane. Director Brown stated the City has the option of holding the same proceedings for those
property owners after the fact. Brown explained that when the project was being considered there was
discussion as to whether or not the truck watermain benefited the entire water system. What is being
proposed would make the system run better. Something similar was done along Minnetonka Drive to
serve CUB Foods. If property owners along the trunk main extension want to connect to municipal water
they would have to pay the connection fee of $10,000.
Siakel clarified that she is a supporter of expanding municipal water system. But, she wants property
owners to be treated the same. If the City is going to extend water along Yellowstone Trail then all of
those benefiting property owners should be involved in the discussion about what is being proposed.
In response to a question from Councilmember Labadie, Engineer Hornby explained property owners
would be assessed for the lateral benefit which by policy is an 8-inch pipe in Shorewood. Anything
greater than 8 inches would be paid for out of the Water Fund.
Mayor Zerby asked if a portion of Yellowstone Trail would have to be torn up to install watermain.
Engineer Hornby confirmed that. Zerby stated there is an opportunity to make improvements to
Yellowstone Trail as part of the project to make it somewhat pedestrian friendly. He asked if that has
been considered if the roadway is being widened. Hornby clarified the roadway would be restored to the
way it is; it would not be widened. Director Brown explained the roadway would be excavated, the
watermain would be put in and then the roadway would be restored to a condition similar to the way it
was at the start but with newer pavement in that area; there would not be curb and gutter. He clarified it is
likely more than one-half of the roadway would be excavated up because of the need to go 8 feet down.
Zerby asked if that makes sense. Wouldn’t there be some cost savings to making improvements to the
roadway and add pedestrian access at same time? Brown stated that depends on whether or not Council
wants to spend the additional money to improve the roadway.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
April 24, 2017
Page 6 of 17
Director Brown asked if enough planning has gone into addressing improvements such as pedestrian
access.
Mayor Zerby stated in the past Director Brown has told Council that water systems that are not looped
sometimes have issues because of that. Both of what are being proposed is “dead end” water routes. He
asked if that would be an issue with what is being proposed. Is staff comfortable with them being stubbed
out at the end? Director Brown explained they are sections to help loop the system; they do not complete
the loop. Zerby asked if residents can assume that in the future the water lines would be extended and
looped to another neighborhood. Brown stated future councils cannot be committed to that. Zerby stated
he assumes that would be the goal.
Councilmember Siakel asked if watermain could be installed under, for example, Valleywood Road using
a tunneling method. Engineer Hornby explained there are trenchless technologies that could be used but
doing that would be outside of Shorewood’s standards. That technology has improved over the years.
That technology was used on a couple of projects in the City a while ago and they were not as successful.
Based on his experience the costs for using trenchless technology by essentially horizontal drilling are
similar to those for a cut and patch project with watermain. He stated as part of the design for this project
consideration can be given to boring services to the properties along Yellowstone Trail to save one-half of
the roadway. But to connect the services would require digging up the road and the watermain.
Engineer Hornby stated Item 9B on the agenda includes three resolutions related to project for Council to
consider.
Mayor Zerby stated from his vantage point the City is missing an opportunity if improvements to/along
Yellowstone Trail are not considered as part of this project. To excavate a roadway and the ground
underneath up to 8 feet deep and then just restore it to similar to what is was makes no sense to him.
Disruption would be minimized by doing the improvements at the same time watermain is extended along
Yellowstone Trail. He then stated the Shorewood Lane portion of the project makes sense to him as is. He
recommended more thought be given to the Riviera Lane/Yellowstone Trail portion.
Councilmember Labadie asked if there is a City Ordinance related to not assessing the properties along
the Yellowstone Trail project area because the watermain would be larger than 8-inches in diameter.
Engineer Hornby questioned if Council would want to go through the public process that could impact
twice as many property owners or more by including assessing those properties in the Yellowstone Trail
project area and on a small portion of Echo Road. Council can ask that the feasibility report be revised to
include that information. Director Brown added for watermain extension projects the City initiates the
Ordinance allows Council the option to decide if it wants the City to asses for the project or not.
Mayor Zerby stated the policies are the Council’s decision. Council can make changes to it while
exercising caution not to change it too much. He then stated if the property owners along Yellowstone
Trail are going to benefit from the project by having municipal water available to them they should share
some of the cost burden for it.
Councilmember Labadie commented that laws and rules change all the time.
Sandy Alstrom, 6085 Riviera Lane, stated she thought if the property owners along Yellowstone Trail
were assessed that could potentially reduce the assessment proposed for other property owners in the
project area. She then stated she walks to her doctor and to the City of Excelsior a lot and she considers
Yellowstone Trail to be dangerous to walk along. She thought that roadway should be made safer to walk
along as long as it is going to be torn up.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
April 24, 2017
Page 7 of 17
Councilmember Labadie stated everything the City does costs money. She noted that redoing all of
Yellowstone Trail was not in this year’s road plan. She expressed her agreement that Yellowstone Trail is
dangerous and substandard. Unfortunately, many of the roads in Shorewood are narrow, dangerous, and
substandard and they have high pedestrian traffic. To expand the scope of this project would require more
than just this hearing. It would require an expanded feasibility study and soliciting bids. And then
determining if the project expansion is something the City could afford. She noted there are many
dangerous spots in the City.
Mayor Zerby stated he thought talking about expanding the project to include improvements to
Yellowstone Trail is the prudent thing to do. As indicated by staff 80 percent of the roadway will be
rebuilt as part of the proposed project. He understood it would cost additional cost.
Councilmember Labadie stated if the project is expanded the timeline presented would no longer be valid.
Councilmember Siakel stated if Riviera Lane and Shorewood Lane are reconstructed she asked if
watermain can be installed underneath and capped without extending watermain down Yellowstone Trail.
She thought the proposed project should be done after Yellowstone Trail is reconstructed and watermain
extended. She does not think it would be fair to assess properties along Shorewood Lane and Riviera Lane
more than $11,000 and later assess those along Yellowstone Trail only $10,000. If all the property owners
were assessed $10,000 she asked how much more it would cost the City. She asked if it would be possible
to make the improvements to Yellowstone Trail and still get the rest of the project done this year. Mayor
Zerby stated the project does not have to be done in 2017. Engineer Hornby stated including the
improvements to Yellowstone Trail would likely set the project back to 2018 at a minimum.
Councilmember Labadie stated she thought it would make sense to assess improvements to Yellowstone
Trail as long as more than half of the road would be torn up.
Engineer Hornby stated if Council wants to at least consider improvements to Yellowstone Trail he
suggested that be discussed during a work session before working on plans and specification.
Director Brown stated if the Yellowstone Trail improvements are included in the project that would be a
lengthy process.
Mayor Zerby stated he thought the City owes it to the residents to go through that process.
Councilmember Siakel stated she thought it prudent to include Country Club Road in the process.
Councilmember Labadie asked when Yellowstone Trail was scheduled for some improvements in the
Street Reconstruction Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Mayor Zerby stated he sensed there was Council consensus to discuss improvements to Yellowstone Trail
in a work session.
Zerby moved, Siakel seconded, continuing the discussion about Riviera Lane portion of the Riviera
Lane and Shorewood Lane Street and Utility Improvement Project City Project 17-04 to a future
Council meeting and prior to that Council meeting discussing the possible inclusion of street
improvements to Yellowstone Trail and the possibility of also assessing the owners of properties
along the Yellowstone Trail segment in the Project area for watermain extension in a work session.
Motion passed 4/0.

Tim McGlennen stated the Riviera Lane and Shorewood Lane portions of the project are in different
neighborhoods and they do not have any connection to each other. He explained there are 8 parcels along
Shorewood Lane and 15 along Riviera Lane. Engineer Hornby explained if they were done separately the
cost would be higher; doing them together brings the cost down. Mr. McGlennen stated it seems to him
that the owners along Shorewood Lane would be paying more than Shorewood Lane’s proportional share.
Mr. McGlennen asked if Shorewood does a benefit analysis for a project like this. Attorney Keane
clarified that is done prior to levying assessments.
Councilmember Johnson stated if hypothetically Riviera Lane and a long segment of Yellowstone Trail
become one large project would it be a large enough project to achieve some cost savings. Engineer
Hornby explained that most times when the size of a project is increased there is usually some cost
savings when compared to separate smaller projects. Johnson asked if Shorewood Lane could be
combined with some other project. Hornby stated he would have to look at the CIP.
Siakel moved, Johnson seconded, continuing the discussion about Shorewood Lane portion of the
Riviera Lane and Shorewood Lane Street and Utility Improvement Project City Project 17-04 to a
future Council meeting and prior to that Council meeting discussing the possible inclusion of street
improvements to Yellowstone Trail and the possibility of also assessing the owners of properties
along the Yellowstone Trail segment in the Project area for watermain extension in a work session.

6. REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS
A. Report and Presentation by Tim Litfin on Minnetonka Community Education
Activities and Tour de Tonka
Minnetonka Community Education (MCE) Executive Director Tim Litfin noted the twelfth Tour de
Tonka event will be held on August 5, 2017.
Mr. Litfin and Jenny Bordurka, the MCE Youth and Adult Programs Coordinator, highlighted the 2016
Tour de Tonka event; a multi-distance bicycle ride through the Lake Minnetonka communities.
There were 16-mile, 28-mile, 40-mile, 48-mile, 57-mile, 67-mile and 100 routes. They are
changed each year.
There were 3540 riders in 2016; 447 for the 16-mile route, 629 for the 28-mile route, 236 for the
40-mile route, 606 for the 48-mile route, 451 for the 57-mile route, 324 for the 67-mile route and
847 for the 100-mile route.
The riders were between 5 and 86 years of age. The 86 year old will ride again in 2017.
A University of Minnesota Extension study analyzed the economic impact that biking events,
organized rides and tours generate in statewide tourism and recreational spending. In 2015 there
was $14.3 in economic activity with an average of $121 per participant.
There were 19 states, 36 Minnesota counties, 166 communities and 2 countries represented.
There were 73 riders from the City of Shorewood; that is a drop of 15 when compared to 2015.
Shorewood ranked 12 in City participation.
Approximately 64 percent of the riders were male and 36 percent were female.

There were 20 police and fire agencies involved.
There were 527 volunteers in 2016; 23 were from Shorewood.
To date, Tour de Tonka has raised almost $50,000 for the ICA. In 2016 it collected $8,213.
The highlights for the 2017 event were as follows.
For 2017 there will be 16-mile, 30-mile, 48-mile, 57-mile, 65-mile, 75-mile and 100-mile routes.
The routes go through 23 communities. All but two go through Shorewood.
There will 14 aid stations / rest stops throughout the course.
The 2017 major sponsors are Cub Foods Minnetonka, Tonka Bay Marina, Domino’s, Maple
Grove Cycling, Bridgewater Bank, Park Dental, Invicta, Boyer Building Corporation, and
Subaru. The Safety Sponsors are Twin Cities Orthopedics and North Memorial Health.
For the first time there will women’s shirts.
The volunteer and riders all get a gift.
A few photographs of the 2016 event were displayed.
Councilmember Labadie stated her hope is to participate in this year’s event with her three children. She
asked which route without gravel is the shortest. Mr. Litfin responded the 57-mile route. He noted all but
about 2 miles of the 48-mile route will be paved.
Labadie then stated because the cities are ranked for rider participation she suggested registrants be asked
where they live.
Director Brown noted that there is a small area of construction on Eureka Road North. He is not certain it
will be paved by the time of the event. It would be grated out.
Mayor Zerby asked what the benefit of the event is to MCE. Mr. Litfin explained when he first visualized
the even it was an event of visibility. The registration cost has intentionally been kept low. MCE’s goal is
not to make a lot of money off of the event. The purpose is to have a great event for the community.
Zerby then asked what the registration fee is. Mr. Litfin stated for 2017 it ranges from about $29 to $50
dollars; the average fee is $45. There is also an early registration fee, a regular registration fee and a late
registration fee. The cost goes up for each fee.
Mr. Litfin stated the City’s representative to the MCE Advisory Council Tad Shaw represents Shorewood
very well.
Councilmember Labadie stated her family has taken a lot of Community Ed classes. The MCE office is
very receptive to receiving comments and criticism about things as well as suggestions. For example,
earlier in the year she spoke with Mr. Litfin about having a bracket for children in the three Lake Series
races and to give the children ribbons and trophies. Younger age divisions were added. Mr. Litfin
clarified that MCE only runs the Firecracker Race on the Fourth of July. Mayor Zerby noted the Excelsior
– South Lake Chamber of Commerce runs the Apple Day and Luck o’ the Lake races.
Mr. Litfin stated MCE offers early childhood family education (ECFE) programs, youth programs, and
adult programs. For the 2016/2017 year it offered 2,077 programs and 83 percent (or 1731) of the classes
offered were held.

Mr. Litfin introduced Tiffany Grams Farkas who is the Preschool and ECFE (Early Childhood Family
Education) Coordinator.
Ms. Grams Farkas stated this year Minnetonka Preschool offered 19 different sessions. There are more
than 320 preschoolers participating; they range from 2.5 to 5 years of age. For the 2017/2018 year 2 year
olds will be added. The enrolment will increase by more than 50. For ECFE there are 276 participants.
MCE reaches out to families in a variety of ways – events, classes, marketing, HUG home visits, coffee
and play time, and early childhood screening. A child has to be screened before they start kindergarten.
About 600 children are screened each year.
Ms. Bordurka highlighted MCE achievements and plans.
All staff went through Orange Frog Training.
Minnetonka Schools has a Celebration of Excellence in May when it recognizes partners who
have done great work.
They had a summer open house in March.
It revamped its adult programs last year. For this year participation has increased closed to 10
percent.

B. Conditional Use Permit for Accessory Space
Applicant: Joel and Lori Schuenke
Location: 4485 Enchanted Lane
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
April 24, 2017
Page 11 of 17
Director Nielsen explained that Joel and Lori Schuenke own the property located at 4485 Enchanted
Point. They propose to demolish the existing home on the property and build a new home with both
attached and detached garages. The floor area of the two proposed garages would exceed 1200 square feet
of floor area, requiring a conditional use permit (C.U.P.) for accessory space over 1200 square feet. The
property is zoned R-1C/S, Single-Family Residential Shoreland and contains approximately 80,841
square feet of area (about two acres).
The proposed home will contain 5295 square feet of floor area between two floors. The attached garage
will contain 983 square feet and the detached garage will have 991 square feet for a total of 1974 square
feet of accessory space.
With regard to the analysis of the case, he explained Section 1201.03 Subd.2.d.(4) of the Shorewood
Zoning Code contains four specific criteria for granting this type of C.U.P. He reviewed how the
applicants’ proposal complies with the Code:
a. The total area of accessory space (1974 square feet) does not exceed the total floor area above
grade of the principle structure (5295 square feet).
b. The total area of accessory space does not exceed ten percent of the minimum lot area for the R-
1C/S zoning district (.10 x. 20,000 square feet = 2000 square feet).
c. The proposed home complies with the setback requirements for the R-1C/S zoning district. The
proposed detached garage, however, is 12.7 feet from the easterly side of the lot. In order to
maintain a total side yard setback of 30 feet with no one side less than 10 feet, the detached
garage must be moved at least 5.8 feet to the west. Proposed impervious surface would be 12.6
percent, about one half of the 25 percent allowed. Given the size of the property and the amount
of existing vegetation on the site, drainage and landscaping are not considered to be issues in this
request. The applicants’ tree preservation and reforestation plan requires 15 replacement trees.
d. The materials and design of the new garage would be consistent with the character of the existing
house and garage.
Nielsen noted that Planning Commission recommended granting the C.U.P. as proposed.
Johnson moved, Labadie seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 17-034 “A Resolution Granting a
Conditional Use Permit for Additional Accessory Space to Joel and Lori Schuenke,4485 Enchanted
Lane”subject to moving the detached garage at least 5.8 feet to the west. Motion passed 4/0.
The discussion moved to that Item 9.C on the agenda because there were people in the audience wanting
to speak that item.
9. ENGINEERING/PUBLIC WORKS
A. Approve Professional Services Agreement – 2017 Pavement Reclamation Project
This was discussed after Item 9.C on the agenda.
Director Brown explained the original 2017 Street Reconstruction Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
included Echo Road, Howards Point Road, Kathleen Court, Oak Ridge Circle and Summit Avenue for a
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES

Page 12 of 17
mill and overlay. After taking core samples of the pavements it was determined those roadways are no
longer recommended for a mill and overlay; they are now recommended for pavement reclamation. Staff
solicited a scope of services proposal from WSB & Associates to prepare plans, specifications, bidding
and construction engineering and inspection services for the 2017 Pavement Reclamation Project. The
proposal replaces WSB’s 2017 Mill and Overlay proposal. The fee for this new proposal is $83,000 just
under 10 percent of what the overall improvement costs are. State law prohibits WSB from doing it on a
percentage basis. But, it is a good standard and WSB’s fee is well below the industry standards.
Brown noted staff is recommending Council accept the proposal from WSB as presented.
Mayor Zerby stated the last time Council spoke about a WSB proposal Council expressed interest in
having competitive bids. He asked if that can be done going forward. Director Brown explained that could
be done. But, the City gets a discounted rate on WSB’s general City engineering services provided WSB
has the opportunity to provide other design services. If Council wants to revisit that arrangement, that can
be done.
Mayor Zerby he has no way of knowing if the proposal is competitive.
Councilmember Labadie stated she is going to abstain from voting on this item because she lives along
one of the roadways. Mayor Zerby and Attorney Keane both noted that is not necessary.
Councilmember Siakel noted she is okay with the proposal as submitted.
Johnson moved, Siakel seconded, accepting the Professional Services Proposal from WSB &
Associates to prepare plans, specifications, bidding, and construction services for the 2017
Pavement Reclamation Project for an amount not to exceed $83,000. Motion passed 3/0/1 with
Labadie abstaining.
B. Approve Resolution Ordering Improvement and Preparation of Plans and
Specifications – Riviera Lane and Shorewood Lane Improvements Project, City
Project 17-04
This item was discussed as part of Item 5.A on the agenda.
Discussion moved to Item 9.D on the agenda.
C. Mill Street Speed Discussion
This was discussed after Item 8.B on the agenda.
Director Brown explained that during the February 13, 2017, Council meeting Ms. Maureen Furh, 5925
Mill Street, and Mr. Mark Ruof, 5935 Mill Street, appeared to voice their concerns about speeding along
Mill Street. Mill Street extends from the City of Excelsior through Shorewood and on into the City of
Chanhassen (in Carver County) where it turns into Powers Boulevard. The portion located in Shorewood
and Excelsior is County Road 82 and is owned and managed by Hennepin County and the portion in
Chanhassen is owned and operated by Carver County. As a motorist travels from Excelsior to Chanhassen
the speed limit is 30 miles per hour (mph) in Excelsior and Shorewood and it changes to 50 mph at the
Shorewood/Chanhassen border.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
April 24, 2017
Page 13 of 17
In accordance with the City’s adopted Speed Concern Evaluation Process, the South Lake Minnetonka
Police Department (SLMPD) put up a radar speed detection device to record traffic volume and speed
data going north and south. A copy of the results was included in the meeting packet. Results indicate that
th
the 85 percentile was 36 mph both northbound and southbound. The City’s guidelines suggest some
method of traffic calming should be considered.
Before physical improvements could be made to the roadway there would have to be a cooperative
agreement with the County or Counties depending on where the improvements would be made. Without
an agreement, other options for traffic calming include additional enforcement by the SLMPD in
Shorewood and Excelsior and the installation of driver feedback signs. The material cost for two solar
powered signs is $6,750 based on the quote the City received.
Brown noted staff is seeking direction from Council.
Councilmember Labadie expressed concern about where the signs would be located. The location of the
signs can make a difference. She questioned if the location of the SLMPD’s radar detection devices were
the best. She asked staff to determine where the river feedback signs should be placed.
Burt Kottke, 6040 Mill Street, noted he has lived in his house for 40 over years. He explained the petition
done by Ms. Fuhr was the second petition. One was done a few years ago about the time the City had a
meeting about a possible trail in the area. That petition was submitted to Hennepin County. That was not
a pleasant experience. When coming from Chanhassen he thought a driver feedback sign should be
located near the Geissinger property. He noted there are a lot of children living in the area now and people
are concerned about their safety because of speeding.
Elizabeth Reid, 6115 Riviera Lane, noted that she is speaking up about this as a school bus driver. She
explained that she has observed drivers tend to slow down when they see a speed display sign but they
increase their speed once they pass the sign. She does make multiple bus stops along Mill Street and
Powers Boulevard. She does have some students who have to cross the roadway. She is surprised that
some of the school children have not been hit by a vehicle. Drivers pass the bus or hit their brakes hard
when they see the bus. She hopes something can be done to slow the traffic down.
Andrea Lang, 5960 Mill Street, noted she and her family have lived in their home for ten years. She stated
she and her husband have three little children. She does not let her children play in their front yard
because of safety concerns. The speeding issue impacts their quality of life. She has never met her
neighbor that lives across Mill Street from her because of speeding. Her mailbox is located across the
street so she does not allow her children to get the mail. She does not let her children bike to Excelsior
without her. She has seen school groups from the Catholic Church school walking along Mill Street and
that makes her nervous. She asked Shorewood to help push the reduction in speeding. She noted that
during the Fourth of July event in Excelsior people park their vehicles in their neighborhood and beyond.
Glen Geissinger, 6140 Mill Street, explained his property is the third one north of the Hennepin/Carver
County line. He has lived there for 29 years. By the time southbound drivers reach his property they are
traveling at speeds of 50 to 60 mph. He noted his daughter and 2.5 year old granddaughter are living with
them. His explained their kitchen window faces Mill Street and they see speeding vehicles all of the time.
Drivers ignore the speed limit going in both directions. He recommended the new driver feedback signs
on the northbound side of the roadway should be located near the county line. When drivers come over
the hill going south they are speeding.

Siakel moved, Johnson seconded, authorizing the expenditure of $6750 out of the Roadway Capital
Improvement Program for the purchase of two driver feedback signs and directing staff to
determine the best location for the signs. Motion passed 4/0.
Mayor Zerby stated continued speed enforcement is another step in reducing speed. He encouraged the
residents living along Mill Street to tell the City of Excelsior that they would like a Mil Street tail
segment to come to fruition.
Someone in the audience thanked the SLMPD for increased enforcement recently.
Discussion returned to Item 9.A on the agenda.
D. Approve Change Order No. 3 – 2016 Trunk Watermain Improvements City Project
16-04
Engineer Hornby stated staff and the contractor have been discussion the additional work done last fall on
the 2016 Trunk Watermain Improvements. The one of the remaining items were tied to the correction of
the subgrade late in the year which involved excavation, geotextile fabric and additional stabilizing
aggregate. The goal was to get that road paved so Public Works did not have to plow on an aggregate
surface. For the work in February, there was a Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) permit
approved with the condition that additional concrete jersey barriers and impact actuators be added. The
negotiated amount for Change Order 3 is $22,931.11. That increases the contract amount to
$1,154,874.60 (including the increases for the two previous Change Orders). The three Change Orders
combined increase the contract by approximately 4.7 percent which is within contingency expectations
for similar projects.
Hornby noted staff recommends Council approve Change Order 3.
Siakel moved, Labadie seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 17-035, “A Resolution Approving
Change Order 3 for the 2016 Trunk Watermain Extension Project, City Project 16- 04.” Motion
passed 4/0.
E. Approve Work Order NO. 4 – Smithtown Road Sidewalk East Extension, City
Project 14-10
Engineer Hornby explained in preparation for closing out the Smithtown Road Sidewalk East Extension
Project, City Project 14-11, there was some negotiation about the cost of some changes and who was
responsible for paying for them. The items submitted for review by the Minnesota Department of
Transportation (MnDOT) included the following.
Remobilization for sidewalk construction that was delayed by the utility pole relocation.
Water service repair unrelated to the contractor’s work.
Adding some watertight connections to storm drainage structures due to proximity to watermain
(the watermain was closer than the records indicated; there was a bend in the main).
Valley gutter intersection modification at the west entrance to the Minnetonka Country Club
(MCC) development and a driveway curb modification were added. There were two driveways
to one parcel. One of them was curbed through because it appeared to be abandoned but it was
not.
Concrete walk construction due to utility pole relocation delays.

Page 15 of 17
The total negotiated cost for Change Order 4 is $18,133.70. That increases the contract amount to
$880,202.28 (including the increases for the three previous Change Orders). The cost for all four Work
Orders combined has increased the contract by approximately 14 percent.
Hornby noted staff recommends Council approve Work Order 4. The Work Order has been reviewed and
approved by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) for State funding.
Mayor Zerby asked for more information on the valley gutter change for am amount of $6,363.41.
Engineer Hornby explained there was some rework done with the MCC project and there was some curb
that had to come out and be replaced with a driveway. He thought the resident did not think the valley
gutter was put in the correct place. He was not sure that was correct but some modifications were made to
accommodate the MCC. The resident concern was related to the driveway.
Mayor Zerby if where the funding will come from. Engineer Hornby stated out of the funding for the
sidewalk extension.
Councilmember Siakel stated after the Change Order is approved she asked if the project will be done.
Engineer Hornby stated the next thing that would happen is Council would be asked to authorize the final
payment to the contractor.
Siakel moved, Labadie seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 17-036, “A Resolution Approving
Work Order 4 for the Smithtown Road East Sidewalk Extension Project, City Project 14- 10.”
Motion passed 4/0.
10. GENERAL/NEW BUSINESS
A. Staff and Volunteer Appreciation Event
Administrator Lerud stated all staff prefers to have the staff and volunteer appreciation event on the
afternoon of Friday August 4. They also expressed interest in doing the same thing as in 2016.
Siakel moved, Labadie seconded, approving the 2017 staff and volunteer appreciation event and
setting the date for August 4, 2017. Motion passed 4/0.
B. Bond Refunding
Administrator Lerud stated on March 20, 2017, the Shorewood Economic Development Authority (EDA)
Board adopted a trigger resolution to start the process for refunding the Public Project Lease Revenue
Bond, Series 2008A and authorized David Drown to either privately negotiate a sale or do a public sale.
The City has an offer for a private sale. He asked Mr. Drown to provide the details on that.
Mr. Drown explained there is about $920,000 of that debt outstanding. It carries an interest rate averaging
about 4.6 percent; that is a little high by today’s standards. He has worked through a broker who found a
single bank in South Carolina who wanted to buy the underlying paper for this transaction. That
eliminated the need for a rating and it introduced a lot of flexibility for repayment. It is a couple thousand
dollars close to what a full blown transaction would be. The bank proposed an interest rate of 2.7 percent.
Over time the transaction means the payments over the remaining 10 years will be reduced by about
$94,000. He noted he thought the EDA has approved what was proposed. It does require Council action.
If it is approved it will start a clock running and the old debt will be paid off in about 30 days.

the Execution and Delivery of Amendments to a Ground Lease and Lease-Purchase Agreement,
and Approving and Authorizing the Issuance of Public Project Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds,
Series 2017A (the Bonds) and Related Documents.” Motion passed 3/0/1 with Johnson abstaining.
11. STAFF AND COUNCIL REPORTS
A. Administrator and Staff
Other
Director Brown explained the City a resident who lives in the area removed the portion of the Skate Park
equipment they wanted. Unfortunately, it was a lot less than what staff thought they were going to take.
Public Works will remove the remainder of the equipment in the near future.
He noted the contractor had indicated the East Water Tower would be washed on April 19. Due to
weather that did not happen. The contractor has made a soft commitment that it will be washed on April
28, but he does not have a lot of confidence that will happen.
He explained staff held a pre-construction conference the previous week with EH Renner and Sons for the
removal, inspection, repair and reinstallation of the Boulder Bridge Submersible Well. Water Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) also includes the replacement of the controls for the Well; they are quite old.
Staff is trying to determine if there would be savings by doing the two projects together.
He then explained that about 1.5 weeks ago there was a sanitary sewer backup on Edgewood Road, Grant
Lorenz Road and a portion of Birch Bluff Road. Three residences were impacted by that; the impact was
minor in nature. Public Works crews responded quickly and pulled up the obstruction with a machine.
Someone had disposed of a very large mop head down the sewer main. The League of Minnesota Cities
(LMC) pushed to have that main televised by an independent because of the size of the area. Hydro Clean
just completed that work and reported that the pipes were in very good shape and the backup was caused
solely by the mop head. Staff continues to work with the LMC on that.
Brown went on to explain staff set up a pumping station near Beverly Drive and Cajed Lane to pump out
a back yard because of a private clay tile system along Cajed Lane was causing flooding. The City hired a
contractor that has a special jet machine that is good for clay tile to try and clear the tile system of
whatever obstruction was there. That same contractor had been used to clear the system about 5 years
ago. That time tree roots were found to be causing problems. The contractor cleared roots with a root
cutter. This time that contractor was able to jet about 400 feet. The contactor found some obstruction but
was not sure what it was. Some of the water flows through the tile line and on to a wetland system along
Smithtown Road. The rest is backing up impacting properties. The City may be forced to look at some
type of improvement to drain the properties. After discussing the issue with Engineer Hornby they came
to the conclusion that a special taxing district may have to be created so that the City can assess some type
of stormwater management improvement.
Engineer Hornby stated the watermain extension project on Chaska Road started on April 21. Watermain
started to go in earlier in the day. The contractor plans to be down to the south end with watermain this
week and to have the storm sewer finished in another week. The installation of curb and gutter will follow
that. A couple of utility poles have to be moved for the storm sewer. Xcel Energy is schedule to move the

poles the week of May 1. The weather may cause contractor delays. The contractor wants to complete the
project by the end of May.
B. Mayor and City Council
Councilmember Labadie stated she attended a South Lake Minnetonka Police Department (SLMPD)
Coordinating Committee meeting in place of Mayor Zerby on April 18. The SLMPD has two open
positions; one full time and one part time.

Data Practices Policy
for Data Subjects
City of Shorewood
Hennepin County, Minnesota
City of Shorewood, Dated 5/8/2017
Policy and procedures required by Minnesota Statutes,
1
sections 13.025 and 13.03 (2016)
Data about you
The Government Data Practices Act (Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13) says that data subjects have
certain rights related to a government entity collecting, creating, and keeping government data about
them. You are the subject of data when you can be identified from the data. Government data is a term
that means all recorded information a government entity has, including paper, email, flash drives, CDs,
DVDs, photographs, etc.
Classification of data about you
The Government Data Practices Act presumes that all government data are public unless a state or
federal law says that the data are not public. Data about you are classified by state law as public,
private, or confidential. See below for some examples.
Public data
We must give public data to anyone who asks. It does not matter who is asking for the data or why the
person wants the data. The following is an example of public data about you:
Example: John Smith, 5000 Smith Dr, Smithtown, MN 55000;
License applicant for On-Sale Liquor License for Smithtown Liquors
Private data
We cannot give private data to the general public, but you can have access to private data when the
data are about you. We can share your private data with you, with someone who has your permission,
with our government entity staff who have a work assignment to see the data, and to others as
permitted by law or court order. The following is an example of private data about you:
Example: John Smith’s Social Security Number: 468-88-XXXX
Confidential data
Confidential data have the most protection. Neither the public nor you can get access even when the
confidential data are about you. We can share confidential data about you with our government entity
staff who have a work assignment to see the data, and to others as permitted by law or court order. We
cannot give you access to confidential data. The following is an example of confidential data about you:
Example: John Smith as mandated reporter of complaint regarding child abuse

sections 13.025 and 13.03 (2016)
Your rights under the Government Data Practices Act
The City of Shorewood must keep all government data in a way that makes it easy for you to access data
about you. Also, we can collect and keep only those data about you that we need for administering and
managing programs that are permitted by law. As a data subject, you have the following rights.
Access to your data
You have the right to look at (inspect), free of charge, public and private data that we keep about you.
You also have the right to get copies of public and private data about you. The Government Data
Practices Act allows us to charge for copies. You have the right to look at data, free of charge, before
deciding to request copies.
Also, if you ask, we will tell you whether we keep data about you and whether the data are public,
private, or confidential.
As a parent, you have the right to look at and get copies of public and private data about your minor
children (under the age of 18). As a legally appointed guardian, you have the right to look at and get
copies of public and private data about an individual for whom you are appointed guardian.
Minors have the right to ask this government entity not to give data about them to their parent or
guardian. If you are a minor, we will tell you that you have this right. We may ask you to put your
request in writing and to include the reasons that we should deny your parents access to the data. We
will make the final decision about your request based on your best interests. Minors do not have this
right if the data in question are educational data maintained by an educational agency or institution.
When we collect data from you
When we ask you to provide data about yourself that are not public, we must give you a notice. The
notice is sometimes called a Tennessen warning. The notice controls what we do with the data that we
collect from you. Usually, we can use and release the data only in the ways described in the notice.
We will ask for your written permission if we need to use or release private data about you in a different
way, or if you ask us to release the data to another person. This permission is called informed consent.
If you want us to release data to another person,
you must use the consent form we provide.
Protecting your data
The Government Data Practices Act requires us to protect your data. We have established appropriate
safeguards to ensure that your data are safe.
In the unfortunate event that we determine a security breach has occurred and an unauthorized person
has gained access to your data, we will notify you as required by law.

to challenge data about you.

Meeting Date: 8 May 2017
Prepared by: Brad Nielsen
Reviewed by: Patti Helgesen
Attachments: Draft Agreement
Draft Resolution
Policy Consideration: Should the City enter into an agreement authorizing Mattamy Homes to begin
work on the grading and underground utilities for Phase 2 prior to approval of the final plat for the
project?
Background: Mattamy Homes has requested a grading permit that would allow them to begin
earthwork on Phase 2 of the MCC project in advance of having a final plat approved. Working with the
City Attorney, we have modified the early grading development agreement that was used for Phase 1,
whereby the developer is required to provide security sufficient to cover site restoration if it fails to
obtain final plat approval per the City’s subdivision regulations. The agreement is attached for your
consideration. Conditions of approval include approval by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, and
City Engineer’s approval.
A resolution authorizing staff to enter into the agreement is attached for your consideration.
Financial or Budget Considerations: Based on the City Engineer’s estimate of restoration costs, the
developer will be required to submit a letter of credit for $157,000.
Options: Approve the agreement; reject the agreement; or modify conditions of approval.
Recommendation / Action Requested: Staff recommends adoption of the attached resolution.
Next Steps and Timelines: Seasonal road restrictions have been lifted and the Developer is awaiting the
Council’s approval.
Mission Statement: The City of Shorewood is committed to providing residents quality public services, a
healthy environment, a variety of attractive amenities, a sustainable tax base, and sound financial
management through effective, efficient, and visionary leadership. Page 1

City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item
Regular Meeting
Title / Subject: Queen, Court and Susan – Setback Variance, Variance to Expand a
Nonconforming Structure
Meeting Date: 8 May 2017
Prepared by: Brad Nielsen
Reviewed by: Patti Helgesen
Attachments: Planning Director’s Memorandum
Draft Resolution
Policy Consideration: Should the City grant a variance to Court and Susan Queen to construct a covered
nd
entry (portico) on their existing home at 27180 West 62 Street?
Background: See attached Planning Director’s memorandum for detailed background on this item. The
Planning Commission held a public hearing on the application at its 2 May meeting, at which time
considerable discussion took place regarding how much of a variance should be granted to the
applicants. The Commission agreed that an existing provision relative to front entry structures for older
homes would allow the applicants to make reasonable use of their property, acknowledging that the
Commission had spent considerable time and effort to establish that provision. It also agreed that the
four-foot variance was the minimal amount necessary for the applicants to make reasonable use of their
property without granting the applicants privilege that is not extended to other property owners. The
Commission voted unanimously to recommend granting a variance allowing the existing nonconforming
home to extend four feet farther into the front yard setback area.
Financial or Budget Considerations: None. The applicant’s application fees cover the cost of processing
the request.
Options: Approve the variance; deny the variance; or modify the variance.
Recommendation / Action Requested: Staff agrees with the Planning Commission’s recommendation
to approve the request for an additional four-foot extension into the front yard of the subject property.
Next Steps and Timelines: If Council is in agreement, a building permit can be issued upon receipt of
construction drawings, revised to reflect the four-foot limitation.
Connection to Vision / Mission: Sustainable tax base.
Mission Statement: The City of Shorewood is committed to providing residents quality public services, a
healthy environment, a variety of attractive amenities, a sustainable tax base, and sound financial
management through effective, efficient, and visionary leadership. Page 1

RE:
Queen, Court and Susan - Setback Variance
FILE NO.:
405 (17.09)
BACKGROUND
Court and Susan Queen own the property at 27180 West 62"d Street (see Site Location map — Exhibit A,
attached). They propose to construct a new entry portico on the front of the existing home, the location of
which is shown on Exhibit B, attached. As can be seen on that exhibit, the home is quite nonconforming
with respect to the required front setback for the R -1A, Single - Family Residential, zoning district in which
it is located. The applicants have struggled for years with a very substandard entry stoop which, between
soil and drainage conditions, has experienced structural deterioration. In addition, the small, round
configuration of the existing stoop is considered somewhat hazardous relative to current Building Code
standards. The proposed entry portico necessitates a variance to the R -lA, front setback requirement.
The property in question contains nearly three acres, of which much of the rear portion of the property
appears to be wetland. Despite the.size of the parcel, the home (which was originally built in 1910) is
located very near the front property line — approximately 31 feet. The proposed portico would encroach,
another six feet into the required 50 -foot front setback, a variance of 25 feet. Plans for the proposed entry
are shown in Exhibits D and F. The applicants' request letter is included as Exhibit G.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
Several sections of the Zoning Code are pertinent to the applicant's request. Following are highlights of
those provisions and how the applicants' request complies:
A. Nonconformities. The Zoning Code addresses nonconforming structures, which are defined as
follows:
"NONCONFORMING STRUCTURE. Any structure which, on the effective date of this chapter,
does not, even though lawfully established, conform to the applicable conditions if the structure
were to be erected under the guidance of this, chapter. Also any structure located on a
nonconforming lot."
Memorandum
Re: Queen Setback Variance
26 April 2017
Section 1201.03 Subd. 1. sets forth provisions regulating nonconformities, the purpose of which is
found in Subd. La.:
"a. Purpose. It is the purpose of this section to regulate nonconforming structures and uses and
to specify those requirements, circumstances and conditions under which nonconforming
structures and uses will be operated and maintained. The zoning ordinance establishes
separate uses which are permitted in that district. It is necessary and consistent with the
establishment of these districts that nonconforming structures and uses not be permitted to
continue without restriction. Furthermore, it is the intent of this section that all
nonconforming uses shall be eventually brought into conformity."
While the Code is quite specific that nonconforming structures should not be extended or expanded,
provisions relative to nonconforming single- family residential structures, have been somewhat
relaxed to allow improvement of nonconforming homes:
Section 1201.03 Subd. Li. states, in part:
"i. Lawful nonconforming, single - family residential units may be expanded, provided:
(1) That the expansion does not increase the nonconformity and complies with height
and setback requirements of the district in which it is located;"
The Queen home is situated 31 feet from the front property line —19 feet closer to the street than
allowed. Previous additions to the home have been allowed at the rear of the home based on this
provision. The proposed addition to the front, however, increases the nonconformity by an
additional six feet.
The Code was further relaxed a few years ago, providing for the upgrading of older homes:
Section 1201.03 Subd. 3.b.(2) provides:
" For a "detached, single - family, two - family or townhouse dwelling constructed prior to May 19,
1986:
(a) A one- story, enclosed entrance may extend into the front yard setback not more than
four feet. The entrance shall not exceed six feet in width.
(b) A one - story, open portico may extend into, the front yard setback not more than four
feet, provided:
(i) The length of the portico shall not exceed 50 % of the width of the silhouette of
the building, excluding eaves, as viewed from the street; and
-2-
Memorandum
Re: Queen Setback Variance
26 April 2017
(ii) This area shall not be enclosed nor screened with mesh, glass or other similar
material, except for guardrails no higher than 42 inches and at least 60% open."
While the applicants' plans extend 25 feet into the required setback rather than four feet, the
underlying principle of the provision may be useful in considering their variance request.
B. Variance. Consideration of variances must include a determination that the ordinance creates
"practical difficulties" (formerly "undue hardship ") that prevent the property owner from using
his/her property in a reasonable manner. Practical difficulties includes three factors, all three of
which must be met: a) reasonableness; b) circumstances are unique to the property and not caused
by the landowner; and c) the variance will not alter the essential character of the area.
a. The Zoning Code is reasonable in,requiring minimum setback requirements and in
regulating /limiting nonconformities. Having said that, the applicants' desire to have a safe,
covered entry to their home can also be considered reasonable.
b. The applicant did not create the practical difficulties in this case. Drainage and soil
conditions that have deteriorated their current front entry were not created by them.
C. Homes on either side of the subject property appear to comply with R -1A setback
requirements. It is worth noting that existing vegetation on the applicants' property and
property to the east have a screening effect on the subject property, somewhat mitigating the
proximity of the structure to the street.
The Code goes on to state that "the variance requested shall not confer on the applicant any special
privilege that is denied ....to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district ". In this regard
the provision that allows porticos to encroach into front yards provides some guidance. The
applicants' plan is consistent with the length limitation. The existing house is 73 feet long and the
portico is 20 feet long — 27 percent of the total length. With respect to the depth of the portico, it is
recommended that the plan be reduced to the four feet allowed by the Code.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the preceding, it is recommended that a variance be considered favorably, subject to reducing the
depth of the portico to four feet instead of six. This is consistent with not granting a privilege to the
applicant that is not available to others. It is also consistent with the requirement that the variance be
minimized to the extent necessary.

Property located at 27180 West 62nd Street, Shorewood, MN.
A single family original farmstead home and lot, which will remain as a single family home site.
Legal Description:
The West 1/10 of the South % of the Southwest % of the Southwest % of Section 32, Township

West of the 5th Principal Meridian. The same being part of lot 4, Minnewashta Acres, Hennepin
County, MN., except that part, if any, lying within the East 3.34 acres of Lot 4, Minnewashta
Acres, Hennepin County, MN.
Subjects from Shorewood Zoning Ordinance
Section 1201.05
Subdivision 1b
This variance proposal respects all zoning and building ordinances with the exception of the 50'
front yard setback. This reasonable need for variance is due to circumstances generated by the
municipality allowed road improvements simultaneously combined with a new 50' front yard
setback requirement for multiple lot subdivision in the past, which immediately made this home
19' non - conforming by definition.
Circumstances of Site:
The unique site circumstances of this site arise due to the non - conforming nature of the home
placement on the lot relative to the establishment of the road placement and an accompanying
front yard setback immediately causing the non - conformity to a pre- existing home. These
circumstances arose long after the home was already in place. When the homestead area was
subdivided and the placement of the city road on the parcel provided for the lots across the
Exhibit G
APPLICANTS' REQUEST LETTER
street from the existing home to be mandated to be in compliance with the 50' setback
requirements. However, this caused the existing property to become immediately non-
conforming from that point in time.
Proposal Implications:
This proposal will actually provide the homeowner a functional covered safe entry to their front
door with a building code compliant stair /access to the front door by eliminating the existing
stoop which has become deteriorated and dysfunctional over many years. In addition, this
proposal will improve the overall aesthetic value of the neighborhood as it is in keeping with the
traditional design theme of the home while improving the front fagade to enhance the street
side visual of the home's exterior to the neighborhood. The neighboring homes, which are
generally much newer and larger than the existing property, are in no way adversely affected by
this proposed necessary exterior enhancement. This variance would improve the esthetic nature
of the neighborhood.
This fact is supported by the homeowner's acquisition of signatures of support from the
surrounding homeowners. (See attached)
Section 1201.05
Subdivision 2a
(1) This variance in no way will impair the supply of light and air to adjacent properties, due to
the large distances between adjacent homes. (See attached aerial photo)
(2) This variance will not increase congestion on the public street, as the property remains a
single family home. Nor will it block any vehicular visibility of any kind.
(3) This variance will not increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety, and in fact,
improves public safety by constructing a building code compliant usable and protective
access to the front door.
(4) This variance will not diminish or impair established property values or be contrary to the
intent of all zoning and building ordinances or the city comprehensive plan; rather, these
improvements will likely improve this home's and other's property value. This variance does
meet simple judgments of reasonability, the intent of the zoning ordinances, and will meet or
exceed building code requirements.
Section 1201.05
Subdivision 2b
The special conditions and circumstances of this variance are by no means a result of the actions
of the homeowner or previous homeowners. The creation of the existing non - conformity was
and is completely out of the control of all previous and present homeowners of this original
farmstead home and its location as related to the subsequent land and road improvements. This
non - conforming condition makes any improvement to the property for usability and safety in
violation.
Section 1201.05
Subdivision 2 c
Application for variance is justified because the circumstances which arose to cause the setback
non - conformity were created long after construction of the original farmstead home and will
allow use of the front porch area and is the minimum variance to allow reasonable protected
access to the home's front door.
Should Staff or Planning Commission or Council members have any further questions or need
additional information, we encourage anyone to contact us at your convenience.

Subject: Support of Neighbors variance request
Attention Bradley Nielsen - My name is Adam Cornell and I am the adjacent neighbor to the west of the
Queen's house. The Queen's have applied for a front -yard setback variance to add a porch to the front of their
house (27180 West 62nd Street). Being one of the neighbor's who would be most significantly impacted (my
wife and I would be able to see the porch from our lot and we would drive past it multiple times everyday), I
felt it important to inform you of my support for the variance. Please share my support as required to the rest of
the individuals in the decision making process.
I am unable to make a personal appearance on May 2nd, so I appreciate the opportunity to submit these
comments. If you have any additional questions for me, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Thank you,

MEETING TYPE
City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item
Regular Meeting
Title / Subject: Xcel Energy Agreement – Burial of Overhead Power on Chaska Road
(Oppidan TIF Improvements)
Meeting Date: May 8, 2017
Prepared by: Paul Hornby, City Engineer
Reviewed by:
Attachments: Xcel Energy Agreement Template
Policy Consideration: Should the City enter into an agreement with Xcel Energy to bury the overhead
power lines on Chaska Road as part of the Oppidan TIF District Improvements?
Background: The City created a Tax Increment Finance (TIF) district to assist with the funding of
infrastructure needed to support the Oppidan senior housing project along Chaska Road. The on-site
improvements included the installation of storm sewer and the burial of the overhead powerlines
adjacent to the site. Council may recall that the construction of the existing storm sewer necessitated
the burial of the overhead power lines. The TIF district budget included $150,000 (engineer’s estimate)
for the burial of the overhead power lines.
Council previously approved payment to Xcel Energy for the preliminary design and budgeting for the
burial of the overhead power lines. Xcel Energy has completed their preliminary design and has
estimated the cost of their utility burial to be $117,238.52.
Xcel Energy has provided a template agreement for informational purposes and will provide the
completed agreement prior to the Council meeting. Staff requested the template to provide Council
information on terms and conditions of the agreement.
Financial or Budget Considerations: The TIF district did provide $150,000 budget for overhead power
burial, estimated by Xcel Energy to be $117,238.52. Resolution 16-052 provides the City will finance
costs by interfund loan to pay for the improvements and be reimbursed through the district
distributions.
Options: Council options for consideration of this agreement include (but are not limited to):
1.Approve the agreement and authorize the Mayor and Administrator to execute on behalf of the
city.
2.Reject the agreement.
3.Provide staff other direction.
4.Take no action at this time.
Recommendation / Action Requested: Staff recommends Council approve the agreement and
authorize the Mayor and Administrator to execute the agreement in the estimated amount of
$117,238.52.
Mission Statement: The City of Shorewood is committed to providing residents quality public services, a
healthy environment, a variety of attractive amenities, a sustainable tax base, and sound financial
management through effective, efficient, and visionary leadership. Page 1

REGULAR
MEETING
To: Greg Lerud
From: Mike Smerdon, Principal Appraiser
Date: 5/2/2017
Re: Shorewood Open Book Meeting
Last night was the Open Book meeting for the City of Shorewood. There were 9 attendees.
Most people left the meeting satisfied with the explanations they were given as to why the
value of their property had changed. There was one review scheduled with a homeowner
because of the meeting. Most of the callers this spring have been concerned about the
increase in value more than what the value actually was. This was mostly because of their
fear of what the tax implications may be next year. Overall the calls were probably a touch
higher in volume when compared to previous years; considering the amount of increased
values this is not surprising.
