Background: When the last AFSCME contract between the city and Public Works was negotiated, the contract called for a reopener for 2018 so health insurance premium contributions could be negotiated for the final year of the contract. At the time negotiations were going on, there was a great deal of uncertainty about what health insurance premiums were going to do in 2018, so the decision was made to discuss the issue at this time and arrive at an agreement . Financial or Budget Considerations: The proposed re- opener agreement, attached to this memo, provides for a monthly increase of $50 over the 2017 contribution amounts toward health insurance premiums and HSA account. This amount is consistent with all other non -union employees eligible for health insurance through the city, and these amounts were included in the approved 2018 preliminary budget. Options: Approve the reopener agreement as presented or reject the agreement and give staff direction to renegotiate. Recommendation / Action Requested: Approve the contract reopener agreement as presented. Next Steps and Timeline: If approved, staff will provide the union a signed copy of the agreement. 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 2018 CITY OF SHOREWOOD AND AFSCME LOCAL #224 CONTRACT RE- OPENER AGREEMENT Article 20, Section 3 a. of the 2017 -2018 approved contract between the City of Shorewood and AFSCME, Local #224 states: a. In 2017 the Employer shall provide up to $1030 per month to regular full -time employees for coverage stated in Section 1 above. An employee who elects coverage under the Health Savings Account that, combined with other benefits, results in a total cost that is less than the contribution level, shall have the balance applied toward their Health Savings Account up to a maximum of $2,500 for the year, or $208 per month. This amount shall be deposited in to the members HSA account at the start of the New Year. Regular part -time employees working more than 20 hours per week shall be entitled to pro -rated contribution. The Employer and Union agree to reopen negotiations for the 2018 Employer contribution amount. For the 2018 contract year, the parties agree that Article 20, Section 3 a. of the agreement be amended to read: In 2018 the Employer shall provide up to $1080 per month to regular full -time employees for coverage stated in Section 1 above. An employee who elects coverage under the Health Savings Account that, combined with other benefits, results in a total cost that is less than the contribution level, shall have the balance applied toward their Health Savings Account up to a maximum of $2,500 for the year, or $208 per month. This amount shall be deposited in to the members HSA account at the start of the New Year. Regular part -time employees working more than 20 hours per week shall be entitled to pro -rated contribution. Both parties represent that they have had the opportunity to review the proposal and approval by Local #224 shall be confirmed by signing the acknowledgement and the City of Shorewood acceptance shall be upon approval of the City Council. E, LOCAL #224 Grg Fa 'ng, Union St and Katetlack, AFSCME Field Representative CITY OF SHOREWOOD Scott Zerby, Mayor Sandie Thone, City Clerk Date Date #2D MEETING TYPE City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item REGULAR Title / Subject: Revising Ordinance No. 549 Meeting Date: November 27, 2017 Prepared by: Greg Lerud, City Administrator Reviewed by: Tim Keane, City Attorney Attachments: Revised Ordinance No. 549 Policy Consideration: Should the City Council approve a revised Ordinance No. 549? Background: At the November 13 City Council meeting, the council approved Ordinance No. 549 which set the fees for the natural gas franchise. Prior to the meeting, representatives from CenterPoint Energy advised that there were additional business account categories that needed to be included in the franchise fee ordinance. Due to a miscommunication, these new categories had the wrong fee attached. The new categories are the biggest users of natural gas and should have had the highest franchise fee, rather than the residential rate. The only change to Ordinance 549 that approved at the November 13 meeting and this revised Ordinance, is Section 3.1. The residential franchise fee is unchanged at $4.00 per month. Financial or Budget Considerations: The commercial accounts are a small percentage of the overall number of accounts so the increase in revenue is minimal. Options: Approve the revised ordinance as presented, or change the proposed rates. Recommendation / Action Requested: Approve the revised ordinance as presented. Next Steps and Timeline: Staff will send this revised ordinance to CenterPoint on Nov. 28. Having to pass this revised ordinance does not impact the timeline for implementation. 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 #4A MEETING TYPE City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item Regular Meeting Title / Subject: Interior Drainage and Utility Easements — Request for Vacation Meeting Date: November 27, 2017 Prepared by: Marie Darling Reviewed by: Patti Helgesen Applicants: Schroeder Management, Inc. Location: 27964 Smithtown Road Attachments: Location Map Bay Park Addition Resolution Policy Consideration: Should the City approve a vacation of the standard drainage and utility easements as requested by the property owners? Background: The easements were originally acquired in 1983 as part of the Bay Park Addition subdivision. (Attached) The easements were dedicated in the plat as 10 feet along the property lines. The same property owners have owned both lots for some time. tA . J Why request the vacation? The property owners have requested to subdivide the subject property and the adjacent property to the south to reconfigure the property lines. They seek to provide direct access from the home at 27968 Smithtown Road directly to Smithtown Road instead of crossing through 27964 Smithtown Road by means of an existing easement. Direct access to Smithtown Road would also accommodate a new water service to the home, which is currently on a well. Reconfiguring the property lines with a new plat does not automatically reconfigure the existing dedicated easements. Consequently, the property owners request this vacation of all the easements on Lot 2, Block 1 Bay Park Addition to avoid having easements in areas where they serve no purpose and are no longer along property lines. The standard drainage and utility easements along the new property lines for both 27968 and 27964 Smithtown Road would be rededicated on the plat to be called "Norqual Addition ". The request for the approvals for the Norqual Addition are located elsewhere on the agenda. 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. S:iPlanningiPlanning Files \Applications \2017 CURRENT CASES Norqual Addition PP FP VAR VACTAF 171127 for vacation.doc Issues concernine the vacation: The applicant has searched the affected easements that will be vacated and has shown evidence that there are no utilities reported in the easements that serve any other property. Financial or Budget Considerations: The application fees cover the cost of processing the request. Options /Recommendation / Action Requested: Approve or deny the vacation. Staff recommends that the attached resolution approving the vacation be adopted. Next Steps and Timelines: Staff would release the certified resolution to Hennepin County for recording at the same time the final plat of the Norqual Addition is released for recording.

Motion passed 31011 with Sylvester abstaining due to her absence at the meeting. 3. PUBLIC Chair Maddy explained the Planning Commission is comprised of residents of the City of Shorewood who are serving as volunteers on the Commission. The Commissioners are appointed by the City Council. The Commission's role is to help the City Council in determining zoning and planning issues. One of the Commission's responsibilities is to hold public hearings and to help develop the factual record for an application and to make a non- binding recommendation to the City Council. The recommendation is advisory only. A. PUBLIC HEARING — PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT REGARDING SIGNAGE Applicant: Shorewood Landing Senior Living Location: 6000 Chaska Road Chair Maddy opened the Public Hearing at 8:02 P.M. noting the procedures used in a Public Hearing. He stated that this evening the Planning Commission was going to consider an amendment to the Shorewood Landing Senior Living Planned Unit Development (PUD) regarding signage. Director Darling explained that KTJ 285, LLC has requested an amendment to the Shorewood Landing Senior Living PUD in order to add two additional wall signs. The subject property is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Chaska Road and State Highway 7. With the exception of two homes to the southwest, all of the adjacent homes on the east side of Highway 7 are developed with single- family homes. CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING November 7, 2017 Page 2 of 10 The applicant currently has two signs. There is a sign installed on the northwest side of the building facing Highway 7. There is a free standing sign installed on the berm adjacent to Chaska Road. Neither of the two existing signs are lit. The applicant is requesting the authorization to add two more signs. One would be located near the northeast corner of the building. The other would be located over the main entrance into the building. Both of the proposed wall signs would look similar; they would have individual letters and neither of them would be lit. The applicant believes the additional signage is needed to eliminate confusion for visitors to the site and they would reduce unnecessary turnarounds on Chaska Road. Staff finds the monument sign to be the most effective sign for wayfinding because it would be visible from both Highway 7 and Chaska Road. The signage on the northeast corner of the building would also help with wayfinding for eastbound traffic. The sign that would be above the main entry would not be visible until a vehicle is directly adjacent to the building. Staff believes the building itself serves as a sign for wayfinding because it is the only apartment building along Chaska Road. Darling noted that staff only recommends approval of the sign proposed for the northeast corner of the building. She also noted that the City received a letter from Mike and Cindy Marr, 6015 Chaska Road conveying their objections to any additional signs; that is now part of the public record. 4521 Wooddale Avenue_ E thought the monument sign has ground In response to a question from Commissioner Riedf monument sign which faces Chaska Road because beyond it the only way for a driver to turn around iw asked if drivers coming from Highway 7 or going S( sign.

She thought the most important sign to stated the address numeral's could be put on the building regardless of whether or not Chair Maddy asked Ms. Rusk if the proposed upper sign that would be on the northeast corner is the one that would be the most important. Ms. Rusk responded yes and clarified it would be for identification. Maddy asked if that is a'common problem Oppidan encounters. Ms. Rusk stated they always have high signage and low signage to help direct guests coming to the facility and she thought it would be more important in this instance because the facility is in a residential area. Commissioner Riedel asked if there is still a speeding issue on Chaska Road for traffic coming from westbound Highway 7. Director Darling stated there are still some concerns about drivers speeding on Chaska Road and noted that the construction vehicles have been acting as a speed deterrent. Once the construction vehicles are gone she thought Council would discuss how to address those speeding issues in more detail. Chair Maddy opened the Public Testimony portion of the Public Hearing at 8:10 P.M. John Macualey, 6025 Chaska Road, stated that speeding along Chaska Road has not subsided. He noted that he has almost been hit three times in the past two weeks by drivers traveling at speeds of more than CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING November 7, 2017 Page 3 of 10 30 miles per hours (mph). He then stated he does not think there is a need for the additional signage but it is clear the applicant thinks there is. Debbie Trent, 6045 Chaska Road, noted she has a 9 year old child and an 11 year old child. She stated she had seen her children almost be hit by a vehicle about five times while trying to ride their bikes along the side of the road. She then stated when walking to their mailbox the children have to walk on her right with her near the vehicles. She thought things were getting worse because there are fewer vehicles. She noted there is no way to bike or walk to the sidewalk in Chanhassen without going on the street. Chair Maddy closed the Public Testimony portion of the Public Hearing at 8:14 P.M. Commissioner Riedel asked if it is correct that the PUD is specific to the Oppidan (the Shorewood Landing Senior Living) Project. Director Darling confirmed that. Riedel noted the property had been zoned R -C prior to the project so prior to the PUD the R -C rules would have applied. He explained that the R -C zoning rules state that only two signs are permitted. If the property were still in an R -C zoning district then the applicant would have had to apply for a variance for the additional two signs. Riedel then asked Darling to comment on the basis for that var_ propose amendments, adjustments or flexibility with a PUD.

Chair Maddy stated from his perspective the question at hand is if the additional signage would help with the traffic or would it just be additional branding on the sides of the building. Commissioner Riedel stated staff does not believe the proposed signage above the main entrance would help with traffic. Riedel then stated he thought the motivation for the proposed sign on the northeast corner was reasonable. Chair Maddy and Commissioner Sylvester concurred. Commissioner Riedel recommended that a condition of approval should be that the proposed signage cannot be lit. Riedel moved, Davis seconded, recommending approval of the amendment to the Shorewood Landing Senior Living Planned Unit Development to allow for a non - illuminated sign that would be located on the northeast corner of the facility and recommending denial of the request to put a sign above the main entrance into the facility. Motion passed 4/0. Chair Maddy closed the Public Hearing at 8:21P.M. CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING November 7, 2017 Page 4 of 10 B. PUBLIC HEARING — NORQUAL ADDITION - PRELIMINARY PLAT AND LOT WIDTH VARIANCE Applicant: Michael Schroeder (representing Jack and Gretchen Norqual) Location: 27964 and 27968 Smithtown Road Chair Maddy opened the Public Hearing at 8:22 P.M. He noted the Planning Commission is going to consider a preliminary plat and lot width variance for Michael Schroeder, with Schroeder Management and on behalf of Jack and Gretchen Norqual, for the properties located at 27964 and 27968 Smithtown Road. Director Darling explained the applicant has requested a preliminary plat to adjust the lot line between the 27964 and 27968 Smithtown Road properties and a lot width variance for the 27968 Smithtown Road property. Adjusting the property line would allow the applicant to provide a separate driveway and watermain service to the house on the 27968 property. Currently the driveway and watermain service for the 27968 property crosses in front of the 27964 property before connecting to the Smithtown Road. That is done via easements. The northerly property (27964) would be Lot 1 and the 27968 property would be Lot 2. The existing houses would remain on the properties. The applicant's plan is to sell the 27968 property. With one exception both Lots would meet the lot width and lot area requirements. Because the newly configured Lot 2 would end up being narrower than allowed by ordinance the applicant is requesting a lot width variance. Both properties are zoned R -IA, Single - Family Residential. The R -IA zoning district requires a 120 feet of frontage. Currently Lot 2 has no frontage and the applicants propose to create 50 feet of frontage. Darling noted that because the lot width variance would 'improve a nonconformity staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat and lot width variance. Michael Schroeder, representing the alicants, noted the applicants also own Outlot A. He explained the house on the 27968 property„ is served by a private well; it is connected to the City's sanitary sewer system. Currently, there is no way to bring City water line to the house without getting more easements across the 27964 nronerty. In response to a question from Commissioner Riedel, Mr. Schroeder stated there is a private easement for the current driveway to the 27968 property. Commissioner Riedel asked Director Darling how a private easement is different from a public easement. Darling explained that most of the easements talked about at the City level are public easements; the land rights have been retained for public purposes. Private easements are when the owner of one property gives the owner of another property land rights for a specific purpose. In this case it would have been for access rights. Director Darling noted that Outlot A had been subdivided as a private road rather than a public road to serve a number of houses. Mr. Schroeder stated the private easement exists and it would be vacated once the 27968 property has a private driveway with access to Smithtown Road. Commissioner Riedel stated based on the drawing it appears that the strip of land that would be added to the 27968 property would be about the width of the proposed driveway. He then stated that in general creating that type of gerrymandered lot is not in the long term interest of the City. He did not think that is how City lots should be designed. CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING November 7, 2017 Page 5 of 10 Mr. Schroeder explained that the way the lot is situated there is a big span of trees with some of them being quite tall. The goal is to ensure nothing happens to them. Seeing no one present to comment on the case, Chair Maddy opened and closed the Public Testimony portion of the Public Hearing at 8:29 P.M. Commissioner Riedel stated he did not think there was any way to meet the 120 foot width requirement for the 27968 property. He then stated that what has been proposed would reduce the nonconformity of the 27968 property. That would be the basis for approving the applicants' request. Chair Maddy noted the width of the 27968 property where the house is situated is about 150 feet. He thought what has been requested is reasonable. Commissioner Sylvester stated she also thought what the applicants have requested is reasonable. Commissioner Davis stated she was good with what has been proposed and noted there is nothing else that could be done with the situation. Riedel moved, Sylvester seconded, recommending approval of the preliminary plat to adjust the lot line between the 27964 and 27968 Smithtown Road properties and a lot width variance for the 27968 Smithtown Road property subject to the applicant obtaining the necessary permits prior to the installation of the new driveway and water service. Motion passed 4/0. Chair Maddy closed the Public Hearing at 8:31 C. PUBLIC HE Applicant Location: Chair Maddy opened the Put going to consider a side yard Director Darling explainer side yard variance to place 1201.03 specifies that air property line. G — SIDE YAl William and 25830 Birch 8:31 P.M CE Road noted this evening the Planning Commission is and Melanie Keegan, 25830 Birch Bluff Road. "illiam and Melanie Keegan, 25830 Birch Bluff Road, have requested a conditioner, within the 10 -foot side yard setback. Zoning Code Section ooing equipment may not be located less than 10 feet from the side She noted that in 2016 the applicants received variances for the redevelopment of a nonconforming lot, a side yard setback, and impervious surface coverage. She explained that the applicants have provided the specifications for the new air conditioner (an 186B Evolution Single -Stage Air Conditioner) they have chosen. It runs at about 68 decibels which is at the lower end of the acceptable decibel range (55 to 80) for residential air conditioners. For comparison purposes, conversational speech is about 60 decibels and normal household appliances (e.g.; dishwashers, hairdryers, and vacuums) are 70 — 85 decibels. She noted the zoning regulations allow for variances if practical difficulties exist. She stated staff reviewed the request based on site specific circumstances. In this case staff would have normally directed the property owner to put the air conditioner on the lake -front side of the house in order to comply with the setback requirement setback. The applicants noted that their proposal would have their air conditioner very near their neighbor's air conditioner and generator. There would be limited windows in that area. CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING November 7, 2017 Page 6 of 10 Chair Maddy asked if the neighbor's air conditioner and generator also encroach into their side yard setback. Director Darling confirmed that. Director Darling noted that in this circumstance staff recommends approval of the variance. William Keegan, 25830 Birch Bluff Road, stated he and his wife had gone through a variance process for their new home. They decreased the nonconformity of the new house; the old house used to be four feet from the property line and the new house will be 10 feet. Their proposed location for the new air conditioner seemed to be the best spot because their neighbor's air conditioner and generator is in that area. He noted their neighborhood does not want the new air conditioner to be located on the lake side because they sit on the lake side to enjoy the lake. He clarified they were not aware of the setback issue when they asked the City for the other variances in 2016. Commissioner Riedel asked if the house has 10 -foot side yard setbacks on each side of the new house. Mr. Keegan responded yes and noted the lot is only 60 feet wide. Riedel stated there are different types of air conditioners such as a mini -split system and noted he thought it would be unfair to require that given that the lot is so nonconforming. Mr. Keegan noted they chose a different air conditioner than they originally considered because it was quieter. Commissioner Davis stated the proposed air conditioner is quiet and noted there are several of them where she works. Those conditioners are located right below her office window. Director Darling stated the City had received Kristy Campuzano, 25860 Birch Bluff Road, Road.

Motion passed 4/0. Chair Maddy closed the Public Testimony portion of the Public Hearing at 8:41 P.M. D. PUBLIC HEARING — FRONT YARD SETBACK VARIANCE Applicant: Channing and Jessica Scott Location: 5915 Galpin Lake Road Chair Maddy opened the Public Hearing at 8:41 P.M. He noted this evening the Planning Commission is going to consider a front yard setback variance for 5915 Galpin Lake Road. Director Darling explained that Channing and Jessica Scott, 5915 Galpin Lake Road, have requested a variance to build a second story addition on their home and attached garage. The existing garage encroaches 10 feet into the required 35 foot front -yard setback. The Zoning Ordinance indicates that a nonconforming single - family house can only be expanded if the expansion does not increase the CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING November 7, 2017 Page 7 of 10 nonconformity and if it complies with the height and setback requirements of the zoning district in which it is located. Adding a second story to a nonconforming structure expands the nonconformity. A second story would not increase the amount of impervious surface. The subject property is located near the intersection of Galpin Lake Road and State Highway 7. All of the adjacent properties are developed with single- family homes. The applicants' property is riparian to Galpin Lake and is within a Shoreland overlay district. The applicants have stated that the proposed addition over the garage would be a potential living space for their aging parents. Their plans include a second story addition over the entire of their home. In addition to increasing the amount of living space the applicants also want to improve the aesthetics of their home from the street. The Zoning Ordinance does allow for variances upon s property.

Director comes from adding the additional living space above the garage and a number of houses in the City where the popup begins at the setback ChanningSott,, 5915 Galpin Lake Road', stated that he and his wife Jessica have been working on the design for their home for about 11i years. For the last year and a half they have had an architect involved. He noted they are not asking to expand the footprint of anything. He stated they did not know that they would have a problem with the proposed addition above the garage. He then stated that about one and one half years ago his father had triple by -pass surgery and then five months ago his father had a stroke. Jessica's father had fluid' on his brain. They do not know when their parents will need to have care from them for which they will need additional living space. He explained that they had already been planning to change the garage roofline for consistency purposes and put in a mechanical room. They then decided to finish it off in the event they would need to have their parents live with them so they could provide care. Jessica Channing stated if they were to build the addition over the garage to only go up to the setback requirement then there would not be enough room for a bedroom or a parent's suite should that be needed. Her parents live in southern Minnesota so it would be convenient to have that space for them when they come to stay. The addition over their home would allow them to have bedrooms for each of CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING November 7, 2017 Page 8 of 10 their three children upstairs as well as their bedroom. From an aesthetic perspective the change of the roofline would add a lot to the home as well as provide them with the added space. Commissioner Riedel asked what the square footage of the parent's suite would be if it was cutoff at the setback line. Commissioner Davis stated she thought it would be about 140 square feet. Ms. Scott stated that would be a very small space for what they want to use it for. Commissioner Davis stated the parents would likely be incapacitated on the proposed second floor. She asked if the applicants plan on putting in an elevator. Mr. Scott responded they are not and noted that the space would also be used by the mothers should their fathers be in the hospital for some period of time. Seeing no one present to comment on the case, Chair Maddy opened and closed the Public Testimony portion of the Public Hearing at 8:53 P.M. Commissioner Riedel stated he assumes some residents in the past were denied the opportunity to increase their nonconformity. He then stated he does not see they basis in the code or in precedent for allowing an increase in the nonconformity, while commenting that he may also want to do what the applicants are proposing sometime. The requested variance is not because of a nonconforming property or a surveying error. The surveying error impacts the existing structure. The garage went where it was not supposed to go. Commissioner Sylvester stated that the proposed addition over would not create any difficulties anywhere. It does add value. Commissioner Riedel stated something being a good' was no specific reason why this variance should be practical difficulty. In this case the approval of the vari would not impose on anyone. It not be the basis for a variance. There )r a variance there has to be a clear )e for doing something extra. Chair Maddy stated approving the variance could create a slippery slope. Commissioner Sylvester stated if the home met the 35 foot setback she assumes there would be no issue. She then stated that because a mistake was made in 1977 she asked if that would justify the need for the variance. Commissioner Riedel explained his interpretation of nonconformity. What is there is allowed to stay. But it should not be allowed to increase. Commissioner Sylvester noted the footprint would not change. Commissioner Riedel stated he could say the nonconformity would not be increased for the setback only metric. But if there is a precedent that adding living space increases the nonconformity, which he thought would be a reasonable interpretation, then that precedent counts. That means that some residents were denied their request presumably along that line. The precedent where property owners had to comply with the setback requirement which ultimately resulted in a less aesthetic look was compelling to him. Commissioner Davis asked if the City denied those property owners or did the property owners make those choices. She stated she has served on the Planning Commission for the last eight years and during that time allowances were made for building situations where, for example, the surveys had been wrong or where the setback was calculated from the face of the curb and not the right -of -way (ROW). Chair Maddy stated there had been a situation where the encroachment was increased because it had been measured from the center of the street. CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING November 7, 2017 Page 9 of 10 Maddy noted the fact that the applicants need that additional space cannot be factored into the recommendation. The approval of the variance is all about practical difficulties. Commissioner Riedel stated he thought the consideration of this request for a variance is very subjective. Commissioner Davis states she thought the neighborhood the property is located in is a very unique situation. She noted she drives by the applicants' property when she drives home from work. She stated she thought that what is being proposed would be a wonderful improvement. Commissioner Riedel expressed concern that if Council approves this variance it would ultimately change the definition of nonconforming. Commissioner Sylvester asked if that is true. Riedel stated it is not fair to cherry pick cases. He then stated there needs to be something specific in this case beyond the fact that the original garage ended up encroaching into the setback to justify building the second story over the garage. He does not see that. Sylvester stated it would not create any difficulties and it would add value to the neighborhood and to the home. Riedel stated that argument could be made for every nonconforming property. Sylvester stated not necessarily. Director Darling stated each variance case should be considered on its own merits and without comparing variances across the board. The circumstances for properties are always i ,different. There are never two that are identical and being identical is what would be needed in order to claim precedent. Commissioner Riedel stated he agreed with that from a legal, sense. Riedel then stated the Commission and the Council should not make subjective decisions; subjectivity should be very limited., Commissioner Riedel stated if the Commission recommends approval of this request he suggested that the Commission recommend an amendment to the Zoning Code basically saying that if the footprint of a structure stays the same then the amount of nonconformity would not be increased. Chair Maddy and Commissioner Sylvester disagreed. Chair Maddy stated the reason that a ,variance is being requested in this case is because it is a unique situation. That variance request gives the City a chance to determine what, if any, negative impact there would be, for example, on other homes or on the neighborhood and to consider approval of the request accordingly. Commissioner Sylvester reiterated she does not think there is an issue with what has been proposed. Davis moved, Sylvester seconded, recommending approval the setback variance for Jessica and Channing Scott, 5915 Galpin 'Lake Road, to accommodate their proposed remodeling which includes a second story over the garage. Motion passed 311 with Riedel dissenting. Chair Maddy closed the Public Hearing at 9:05 P.M. Director Darling noted that all four of tonight's applications will be considered by Council on November 27, 2017. 4.

Christin #7B MEETING TYPE City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item Regular Meeting Title / Subject: PUD Amendment for Additional Signage — Shorewood Landing Senior Living Meeting Date: November 27, 2017 Prepared by: Marie Darling Reviewed by: Patti Helgesen Review Deadline: February 1, 2018 Attachments: Planning Director's Memorandum Correspondence Received Resolution Policy Consideration: Should the City grant a PUD Amendment to allow additional wall signage for KTJ 285, LLC. at Shorewood Landing Senior Living at 6000 Chaska Rd? Background: See attached Planning Director's memorandum for detailed background on this item. At the November 7, 2017 meeting, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the application and voted unanimously to recommend approval of one additional unlit wall sign to be installed on the northeast corner of the building. The applicant originally asked for two additional wall signs and the Planning Commission indicated that they found the sign proposed at the northeast corner of the building could serve as a wayfinding device to the property, but the signage over the main entry would not be helpful until vehicles were directly in front of the building. The applicant was present at the meeting and two residents requested to speak. The residents spoke of concerns and gave updates regarding the traffic on Chaska Road. Staff also received one letter (attached) which noted opposition with any additional signage. Financial or Budget Considerations: The application fees cover the cost of processing the request. Options: Approve the amendment; deny the amendment; or modify the amendment. Recommendation / Action Requested: Staff concurs with the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve the request for one additional sign to be installed on subject property. Next Steps and Timelines: If Council is in agreement, a building permit can be issued upon receipt of an application. Connection to Vision / Mission: Quality public services. 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.

(See the attached plans) The applicant has received permits and installed the following two signs as allowed by the original PUD: • A freestanding sign near the northeasterly entrance on Chaska Road (illuminated by ground- mounted lights) • A wall sign on the north side of the building Aerial photo of the development not yet available f Y' r ,1!�<�I(�I.!�4.,� .�a , r h4 r , 6 , Because the property is a PUD, requests for modifications to the original approval are considered amendments to the PUD rather than variances. Notice of this application was published in both the City's official newspapers and mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the property at least 10 days prior to the Planning Commissions public hearing. Page 2 BACKGROUND Context: In 2015, the City Council approved amendments to the sign regulations for the R -C zoning district to allow properties in that district the ability to have two signs, where most residential properties are allowed one freestanding sign with a maximum area of either 20 or 32 square feet depending on the type of sign. Properties in residential zones outside the PUD or R -C district are not allowed to have wall signs. In 2016, the City Council approved the development agreement for Shorewood Landings and the project is nearing completion. The building includes 105 apartments for senior citizens, including independent, assisted living and memory care apartments. The property was originally in the R -C district and signage is allowed based on the requirements of that district unless amended through the PUD process. ANALYSIS To review the application, staff used the following criteria: Effectiveness of the proposed signage as wayfinding devices Impact to the neighborhood EFFECTIVENESS The applicant indicated that they propose to add two wall signs to eliminate confusion for visitors and unnecessary turnarounds. Staff reviewed the signage to determine the effectiveness of the signage proposed. Existing signage: The freestanding sign is the most effective sign on the property for wayfinding. It is located on top of the berm separating the Chaska Road right -of -way and the parking lot. It is visible to both east and westbound traffic on Chaska Road. The North wall signage is not visible to either east or west bound traffic until the vehicle is adjacent to the sign due to the speeds permitted on Highway 7, the angle of the fayade the sign is attached to, the height of the sign on the building and the amount of existing trees on the north side of the building. Proposed signage: The sign proposed over the main door (sign 3 on the attached plans) would not be visible to east or westbound traffic until vehicles are directly abutting the middle of the site. The sign at the not corner of the building (sign 4 on the attached plan) would be visible to eastbound traffic once vehicles are nearing the south end of the property. Because of the lower traffic speeds on Chaska Road, the sign 4 on the building could function to direct people into the property. However, sign 3 does not help vehicles find the property until they are very close to the building. In considering the request, staff concludes that having two signs on the same side of the building is not effective for directing traffic to the site. Page 3 IMPACT Both of the proposed signs would face the residential properties on the southeast side of Chaska Road. The design and color of the signs blends in with the design of the building. No illumination of the additional wall signs is proposed. Consequently, staff conclude that the signage would have little or no impact on the adjacent residents. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the sign proposed in the northeast corner, although the decision is based on standards that are open to interpretation. After reviewing the materials and listening to public testimony, the Planning Commission could reasonably conclude differently. Staff further recommends a condition prohibiting illumination for any additional wall signage that faces the residential properties along Chaska Road.

Mike and Cindy Marr 6015 Chaska Road Shorewood, Mn 55331 RECEIVED N(.)V ? 1 CITY OF SHOREWOOD RESOLUTION NO. 17- A RESOLUTION GRANTING AN AMENDMENT TO THE SHOREWOOD SENIOR LIVING P.U.D. LOCATED AT 6000 CHASKA ROAD WHEREAS, KTJ 285, LLC. (Applicant) owns the Shorewood Senior Housing PUD and has requested an amendment to the Concept and Development Stage Plan for additional wall signage for the building known as Shorewood Landing Senior Living, on property legally described as: Lot 1, Block 1, Shorewood Senior Housing, according to the recorded plat thereof, Hennepin County, Minnesota; and, WHEREAS, the Applicant's request has been reviewed by staff and their recommendations have been duly set forth in a memorandum to the Planning Commission at their meeting on November 7, 2017, which is on file at City Hall; and WHEREAS, a Public Hearing was held by the Shorewood Planning Commission on November 7, 2017, for which notice was published and all property owners within 500 feet of the property were notified. WHEREAS, City Council considered the application at its regular meeting on November 27, 2017, at which time the Planning Director's memorandum and the Planning Commission's recommendations were heard and any comments from the public were heard. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Shorewood as follows: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The subject property is located in a PUD district based on the R -C zoning district, which allows a maximum of two signs for the property. 2. The Applicants proposed additional signage to avoid confusion by directing visitors and residents to Shorewood Landing and eliminate unnecessary turning on Chaska Road and in neighbor's driveways. 3. The sign on the northeast corner of the building could assist eastbound drivers on Chaska Road to better locate the building, but the sign over the main entry would not be visible for either east or westbound traffic until vehicles are directly in front of the middle entrance. CONCLUSIONS A. The Applicant's request for an amendment of the concept and development stage plan for the Shorewood Senior Living P.U.D. is hereby approved consistent with the plans and materials submitted on September 12, 2017 and October 2 -4, 2017, except as modified herein. B. Prior to installation the applicant shall acquire any applicable permits. C. Prior to issuance of a permit, the applicant shall revise their plan to remove the sign shown above the main entrance. D. The additional wall sign to be located in the northeast corner of the building shall not be lighted. ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SHOREWOOD this 27th day of November 27, 2017. Scott Zerby, Mayor ATTEST: Sandie Thone, City Clerk �l owl City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item Title / Subject: Meeting Date: Prepared by: Reviewed by: Review Deadline: Attachments: #7c MEETING TYPE Regular Meeting Norqual Addition — Preliminary and Final Plat and Variance to Lot Width November 27, 2017 Marie Darling Patti Helgesen January 31, 2018 Staff Memorandum Resolution Policy Consideration: Should the City grant a preliminary and final plat and lot width variance to Schroeder Management (on behalf of property owners Jack and Gretchen Norqual) to adjust the lot line between the two parcels that they own at 27968 and 27964 Smithtown Road? Background: See attached staff memorandum for detailed background on this item. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the application at its November 7, 2017 meeting and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the preliminary plat and variance. (The Planning Commission does not review requests for final plats.) The applicant was present and agreed with the conditions of approval. No one from the public requested to speak. This item is related to Item 4A on the agenda. As shown on the plat, the applicants have proposed to dedicate standard 10 -foot drainage and utility easements along the new property lines as required by the subdivision regulations. The same property owners own additional properties to the north, but no changes are proposed to the adjacent properties at this time. Financial or Budget Considerations: None. The applicant's application fees cover the cost of processing the request. Options: Approve or modify the resolution. If the Council finds that denial is appropriate, please continue the item to the next meeting to allow staff time to prepare a draft resolution. Recommendation / Action Requested: Staff agrees with the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve the request to reduce the non - conformity of 27968 Smithtown Road and provide separate access to Smithtown Road for the property as required by the City Code. Next Steps and Timelines: If Council is in agreement, the final plat may be released for recording. Connection to Vision / Mission: Quality public services. 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.

(on behalf of property owners Jack and Gretchen Norqual) requests a preliminary plat to adjust the lot line between the two properties and a variance to lot width for the southerly parcel (27968 Smithtown Road). The subdivision is proposed to modify the property lines to provide an individual driveway and a new water main connection for 27968 Smithtown Road. The applicant would also adjust the lot line in the northeast corner of the southerly parcel to move some land from the smaller parcel to the larger parcel. The existing homes would remain on the properties although the property owners would sell 27968 Smithtown Road. The existing house at 27964 Smithtown Rd would be on Lot 1 of the new subdivision, and the existing house at 27968 would be on Lot 2. The property owners have also requested a final plat and a vacation of easements, which are reviewed by the City Council. They would also be required to request a zoning permit for the new driveway and a sewer /water permit for the new water connection. Tree preservation and grading/drainage impacts would be reviewed with the zoning permit. Memorandum Re: Norqual Addition Page 2 Notice of this application was published in both the City's official newspapers and mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the property at least 10 days prior to the meeting. BACKGROUND Context: The subject property is currently developed with a single- family home on each lot. Under the plan, the existing homes would remain. The adjacent properties are all developed with single family homes. The existing homes were constructed in 1959 (27968) and 2005 (27964). The property at 27964 Smithtown Road was created as part of the Bay Park Addition approved in 1983 and the property at 27964 Smithtown Road is unplatted. The properties contains mature trees, abut Lake Minnetonka and the shoreline is within the 100 -year floodplain. ANALYSIS A. Preliminary Plat. Lot Width/Area: Section 1202.05 Subd. 2. c. of the subdivision regulations requires that all lots have adequate frontage on a city approved street to accommodate a driveway and required driveway setbacks. Additionally, section 120 1. 10 of the zoning regulations has specific area and width requirements for newly created lots. The current and proposed lot areas and widths are shown below: ADDRESS EXISTING PROPOSED REQUIRED IN R -1A Lot Area Lot Width* Lot Area Lot Width* Lot Area Lot Width* Lot 1 5 acres ±295 feet 4.5 acres 245 feet 92 acres 120 feet Lot 2 .92 acres 0 1.45 acres 50 feet *As measured at the front setback Because the lot for 27968 Smithtown Road does not meet the requirements for lot width, a variance is required and discussed below. Easements: Section 1202.05 Subd. 6 requires 10 -foot drainage and utility easements around the periphery of each lot and additional easements over the top of any utility lines. The applicant has provided both the peripheral easements on the plat and has an existing 15- foot easement over the sewer line that runs through the property. This is consistent with city code requirements. Access/Lot Frontage: Section 1202.05 Subd. 2. C. requires that every lot must have adequate frontage on a city approved street to accommodate a driveway and required driveway setbacks, as required in the S'.0anningManning FiWApplicntionsl2017 CURRENT CASESWorqual Addition PP FP VAR VACTC Nfcmo.dac Memorandum Re: Norqual Addition Page 3 Shorewood Zoning Ordinance. The proposal would provide an adequate area to construct a driveway, but would not meet the R -IA requirement for 120 feet of lot width. B. Lot Width Variance for Lot 2. The zoning regulations allow for variances upon showing that practical difficulties exist and that the request is consistent with the intent of the regulations. Section 1201.05 Subd. 2. b. of the Shorewood Zoning Code sets forth criteria for the consideration of variance requests. Staff reviewed the request according to these criteria, as follows: Intent of comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance: The property owner would continue to use the property for residential purposes and the variance is proposed to provide a driveway access to Smithtown Road for the non - conforming lot. Providing any frontage access to the property would reduce the existing non - conformity. 2. Practical difficulties: Practical difficulties include three factors, all three of which must be met: a) reasonableness; b) circumstances unique to the property and not caused by the landowner; and c) maintenance of the essential character of the area. a. Reasonable: On their own initiative, the property owners have requested the ability to provide an individual private driveway to Smithtown Road. b. Self- Created: The applicant did not create the practical difficulties in this case. They purchased the home and lot in its existing condition. The lot is legally non - conforming and accessed by private easements. The city could not compel the property owner to correct this situation if the property owner elected to keep the lot lines the way they currently exist. C. Essential Character: No additional lots of record are proposed to be created. The existing two homes would remain. The essential character of the area would remain unchanged except for a new driveway to be constructed from the home on Lot 2 to Smithtown Road. Special privilege. The property owners are clearing up a non - conforming situation. By code, all properties should have access to adjacent public streets. 4. Impact to adjacent properties. The property owners are not proposing anything that would impair an adequate supply of light and air to an adjacent property, increase the risk of fire or endanger public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair values in the neighborhood. Staff finds the requested variance is the minimum necessary to alleviate the practical difficulties.

(10) of the zoning regulations indicate that air conditioning equipment may not be located less than 10 feet from the side property line. Notice of this application was published in both the City's official newspapers and mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the property at least 10 days prior to the meeting. BACKGROUND Context: The applicants received variances in 2016 for redevelopment of a nonconforming lot (60 feet wide), side -yard setback, and impervious surface coverage. The home is nearly finished and the building official noticed that the side of the home was being prepped for the air conditioner and alerted the homeowner about the required setback. All the adjacent properties are developed with single - family homes. a Page 2 Noise: The applicant has submitted the specifications for the air conditioner that they have chosen and it is within the acceptable range for residential air conditioners. The applicants' propose the 186B Evolution Single -Stage Air Conditioner. According to the manufacturer's specifications, it runs at about 68 decibels. Depending on the size and efficiency of the air conditioners, the normal range for new air conditioners is 55 to 80 decibels. For comparison, conversational speech is about 60 decibels and vacuums and hairdryers operate between 70 -85 decibels. VARIANCE ANALYSIS The zoning regulations allow for variances upon showing that practical difficulties exist and that the request is consistent with the intent of the regulations. Section 1201.05 Subd. 2. b. of the Shorewood Zoning Code sets forth criteria for the consideration of variance requests. Staff reviewed the request according to these criteria, as follows: Intent of comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance: The property owner would continue to use the property for residential purposes and the variance would allow the applicant to cluster their air conditioning equipment near their neighbors' air conditioner and generator. 2. Practical difficulties: Practical difficulties include three factors, all three of which must be met: a) reasonableness; b) circumstances unique to the property and not caused by the landowner; and c) maintenance of the essential character of the area. a. Reasonable: Clustering the equipment together in one area benefits both property owners as neither has to view or hear the other neighbors' air conditioning equipment as they would if located in the front yard or lakeside of the property. b. Self- Created: The narrowness of the lot was not caused by the homeowners. After the approval of the previous variances, their house is now 10 feet from the property line where the previous house was four feet. C. Essential Character: With the exception of the property owner to the west, the air conditioner would be unseen by any of the other property owners in the area and the essential character of the area would be preserved. Additionally, the property to the west is screened by an evergreen hedgerow that runs between the two properties near the property line. 3. Special privilege. The circumstances are unique to the property in that the narrowness of the existing lot contributes to the difficulty in finding a conforming location for the air conditioner on the side of the home. Although the air conditioner could be located on the lake side of the home, that location would be more visible than the applicants' requested location. 4. Impact to adjacent properties. The property owners are not proposing anything that would impair an adequate supply of light and air to an adjacent property, increase the risk of fire or endanger public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair values in the neighborhood. 5. Staff finds the requested variance is the minimum necessary to alleviate the practical difficulties. S:\Planning\Planning Fiics\Applicafions\2017 CURRFN-r CASES\Kmgan Varianx\Kmgan izriaxe m—Ax Page 3 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommend approval of the variance to allow the air conditioning equipment to encroach up to a maximum of four feet into the 10 foot side -yard setback for William and Melanie Keegan at 25830 Birch Bluff Road.

The proposed location for the AC condenser unit in close proximity to the neighbors' two AC units and generator as shown on the attached survey of the property dated March 6, 2017. In addition, I have included a letter of support from the adjacent neighbor as well as specifications on the proposed AC condenser unit showing that we have selected a high efficiency low noise level unit. The primary reason for the request is the unique and very narrow configuration of this property, being only 60' in width but 330' in length. This is a new home construction project which was granted a variance in 2016 from the total side yard setback requirement of 30 feet. This variance was granted due to the narrow configuration of the lot and in exchange for a reduction in hardcover from 34.4% to 30% and increasing the side yard setback from 4' to 10', which now meets the minimum requirements of the City Code. During this initial variance request, we were unaware of a specific code on air conditioning units and thus did not include this level of detail in the request. It was planned all along that our AC unit would be on the side of the home since that is where the neighbors have their AC units as well as a very large generator. The thought being that we would keep the noise generating appliances all in the same area so as to minimize the disturbance to ambient noise conditions elsewhere. The specific criteria listed in the City Code for variances are listed below followed by our responses. Is the proposed variance a reasonable use of the property? - The lot meets the minimum side yard setbacks of the City Code, but due to the unique configuration of the lot being only 60' in width but 330' in length, there are limited development options available for a lot this narrow and subsequently limited options for the location of the AC condenser unit; - The proposed variance would allow for a high efficiency, low noise level, AC unit to be located on the side of the home across from the neighbor's two AC units and generator. Locating the AC unit near the neighbors units and generator minimizes the impact to ambient noise conditions elsewhere on the two properties; - Both the west an east side yard setbacks are 10 feet which would require a variance for the AC unit for placement on either side of the home. The south, or street side, of the home is all garage doors and thus would not accommodate the AC condenser unit. The north side, or lake side, of the home is where our family, and the neighbor's family, spend their time enjoying the outdoors and sitting on our open porches overlooking the lake. If the AC condenser unit was placed on the lake side of the home it would increase the noise levels to both our home and our neighbors home as we are enjoying the lake environment; - It is reasonable, and consistent with other homes in the neighborhood, to have central air conditioning in their homes which require an exterior AC condenser unit; - The location of the home on the lot, positioned near the lake end of the lot, is desirable and common for homes in the Shoreline District to enjoy the full view and access of the lake. It's location on the lot meets the bluff and lake setback requirements in the City Code and is also consistent with the neighboring home setbacks. Are there circumstances unique to the property to justify the variance? The property is unique from other properties on the block due to how narrow and deep the lot is (60'x 330'). The lot width is only sixty feet (60') wide, a third of which is required for setbacks, leaving only 40 feet of width to build the home. The narrowness of the property causes unique building challenges which are the driving force behind the variance request to allow for the AC unit being located within the side yard setback; The location of the neighbors AC units as well as their generator make this a unique situation in that the neighbors prefer that the AC unit be located in this area as well so as to have all of the noise generating units are in the same area. There are limited windows in that area on both homes, no outdoor living spaces, and the location is such that it provides the least noise and visual impact to the properties and surrounding neighborhood; - While the intent of the ordinance is to limit disturbance of the neighboring properties, its strict application on this property would actually increase the disturbance to the neighboring property by placing the AC Condenser unit in the rear yard where the neighbors enjoy the outdoor lake environment. Have the circumstances requiring the variance been caused by the property owner(s)? The narrow width of the lot was not caused by any of the property owners. The current side yard setback of the home was actually increased during our recent building application process from the existing side yard setback of four feet (4') to the current side yard setback of ten feet (10') which meets the minimum requirements in the City Code. The location of the neighbors AC units and generator was an existing condition that was not caused by the owners of the Keegan residence and the current proposal is to attempt to best accommodate the existing conditions of the neighboring property. Is the proposed use consistent with the zoning code and comprehensive plan? The construction project is consistent with the current City zoning ordinances for General Development (GD) in the Shoreland District and comprehensive plan for the area to be developed as residential property. The construction project increased the existing side yard setbacks (from 4' to 10') and decreased the hard cover on the property from 34.4% to 30 %. However, unless a variance is granted for the proposed placement of the AC condenser unit, that component of the home construction would not be consistent with Section 1201.03, Subd. 2, d, (6) of the City Code. Does the variance alter the essential character of the area? The proposed location for the AC condenser unit would not alter the character of the surrounding area but rather would be more consistent with the surrounding property uses by locating it in an area with other AC units and a generator. The neighbors support the location of the AC condenser unit and prefer it over locating it in the front or back yard where noise will be generated in a new area where it is not currently being generated. Does the existing ordinance create a practical difficulty in achieving the manner of use? The existing ordinance creates a practical difficulty in that it would require the AC condenser unit to be placed in the front or rear yard areas which would increase the ambient noise levels in those areas. While the intent of the ordinance is to limit disturbance of the neighboring properties, its strict application would actually increase the disturbance to the neighboring property by placing the AC Condenser unit in the rear yard where the neighbors enjoy the outdoor lake environment. These aspects are unique to this property which will not create a precedent for other properties in the future unless they are similarly narrow and deep with the adjoining property having similar infrastructure in close proximity to the property line as well. In summary, the granting of a variance for the AC condenser location will minimize any visual or noise impacts to the neighboring property, is supported by the neighboring property, and is a unique situation that will not set a precedent for other properties in Shorewood. The proposal is to attempt to best accommodate the existing conditions of the neighboring property and narrow lot configuration of the Keegan residence. A letter of support from the neighboring property is attached for your reference. We appreciate your time and consideration of this variance request and are available to provide any additional information or answer any questions you may have regarding the project.

The subject property is located in an R -1C /S district, Single- Family Residential/Shoreland zoning district, which requires a minimum 10 -foot setback from the side lot line with a total required setback of 30 feet and the property owner received a variance to allow construction up to 10 feet from both side lot lines. 2. The existing home on the property is nearing construction and the home was sited at 10 feet from each side property line. 3. The Applicants propose to install their air conditioner at six feet from the west side property line where 10 feet is the minimum required by the zoning regulations. CONCLUSIONS A. The Applicants have satisfied the criteria for granting a variance under the Shorewood City Code and established a practical difficulty as defined by Minnesota Statutes. B. Based upon the foregoing, the City Council hereby grants to the Applicants a setback variance to install an air conditioner at six feet from the west side -yard property line where the zoning regulations require ten, subject to the applicant receiving any applicable building permits. C. The City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to provide a certified copy of this resolution for filing with the Hennepin County Recorder or Registrar of Titles.

ATTEST: SANDIE THONE, CITY CLERK SCOTT ZERBY, MAYOR -2- #7E MEETING TYPE City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item Regular Meeting Title / Subject: Channing and Jessica Scott — Setback Variance to Construct a Second Story Addition Meeting Date: November 27, 2017 Prepared by: Marie Darling Reviewed by: Patti Helgesen Review Deadline: February 1, 2018 Attachments: Planning Staff Memorandum Resolution Policy Consideration: Should the City grant a front setback variance to allow the applicants to build a second story addition to a home at 5915 Galpin Lake Road? Background: See attached Planning Director's memorandum for detailed background on this item. At the November 7, 2017 meeting, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the item with a vote of three in favor and one opposed. The Commissioner voting against the motion cited concerns with increasing the nonconformity of the home where the goal with nonconforming homes is conformance. The applicants were present, but no one else requested to speak. Financial or Budget Considerations: The applicant's application fees cover the cost of processing the request. Options: Approve, deny or modify the resolution. Recommendation / Action Requested: The Planning Commission recommended to approve the request based on the findings that the criteria for a variance has been met, specifically that the applicant has identified that there is a practical difficulty in complying with the regulations and that the request is the minimum variance request to alleviate the practical difficulty. Next Steps and Timelines: If the item is approved, the applicant could submit their request for a building permit. Connection to Vision / Mission: Quality public services 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.

The existing attached garage encroaches 10 feet into the required 35 foot front -yard setback area. The applicants originally proposed to re- orient their garage doors to become side - loading, but that part of the application became problematic due to the amount of fill and complications with a public sewer easement on the north side of the home. Consequently, the applicants elected not to move forward with that portion of the request. At this time, the project would have no change to the existing impervious surface coverage. Staff noted the change on the attached survey. Notice of this application was published in both the City's official newspapers and mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the property at least 10 days prior to the meeting. Page 2 BACKGROUND Context: The existing home is a rambler -style walkout built in 1977 (see photos). The property is adjacent to Galpin Lake and within the Shoreland District. City records indicate that the site plan for the proposed house location was not done by a surveyor and the house was staked out in error (see 1977 site plan). The site plan shows a 35 -foot front setback but it was actually built at 25.1 feet. Furthermore, due to the topography of the lot, the property file records indicate that there was 2000 cubic yards of fill added to the site as part of the construction process. Applicable Code Sections: Section 1201.03 Subd. 1 of the zoning regulations contains provisions that address nonconforming structures. Specifically, section 1201.03 Subd. 1. i. states: "Lawful nonconforming, single - family residential units may be expanded, provided ... that the expansion does not increase the nonconformity and complies with height and setback requirements of the district in which it is located." Consequently, in order to expand the home over the existing non - conforming garage, a variance to the minimum front setback in the R -1 C/S district (35 feet) is required. The remainder of the second story addition may move forward with a request for a building permit. ANALYSIS In their request letter, the applicant's state that the proposed area over the existing garage is a potential living space for aging parents. The applicants' plans (attached) include the proposed second story addition over the entire footprint of the home. Their goals with this addition are two -fold: • Improve the aesthetics of their home from the street • Add additional floor area for bedrooms, including a "parent's suite" so that their parents may move in with them as more care is needed The zoning regulations allow for variances upon showing that practical difficulties exist and that the request is consistent with the intent of the regulations. Section 1201.05 Subd. 2. b. of the zoning regulations sets forth criteria for the consideration of variance requests. Staff reviewed the request according to these criteria, as follows: Intent of comprehensive plan and zoning regulations. The property is guided and zoned for residential purposes and the property owner would continue to use the property for residential purposes. 2. Practical difficulties: Practical difficulties include three factors, all three of which must be met: a) reasonableness; b) circumstances unique to the property and not caused by the landowner; and c) maintenance of the essential character of the area. a. Reasonable use of land: Staff weighed the case of the applicant's ability to make reasonable use of the property without the variance with their goals for the addition. The applicants have designed the home to improve the appearance of the walkout Page 3 rambler and their desire to bring the garage into visual harmony with the rest of the building plan includes carrying over the sweeping roof lines throughout the proposed second floor, including the living space above the garage. b. Self- Created: The current property owners did not create the practical difficulty for this property. The error resulted from the original construction in 1977. C. Essential Character: If the variance is granted to add a second story over the existing garage, it would have minimal impact to adjacent properties, nor alter the essentially character of the locality. There is no neighbor to the north of the subject property and the home on the property to the south is set back about 70 feet from the front property line. Additionally, the homes along the road have a wide variety of fiont setbacks (varying from 31 feet to over 300 feet) and architectural styles. Consequently, the additional height and massing closer to the street would not be as noticeable as in an area where all the homes are at a similar setback. 3. Special privilege. The circumstances are unique to the property in that the nonconforming setback is already established. 4. Impact to adjacent properties. The property owners are not proposing anything that would impair an adequate supply of light and air to an adjacent property, increase the risk of fire or endanger public safety or unreasonably diminish or impair values in the neighborhood. 5. Staff finds the Planning Commission could find requested variance is the minimum necessary to alleviate the practical difficulties. The design with the sweeping roof lines sacrifices some potential living space in the area above the garage and throughout the second story to maintain the proposed design character and that reduction minimizes their request. RECOMMENDATION Because staff finds that the applicants request has met some of the conditions of the variance better than others, staff recommends the Planning Commission review the request against variance criteria and forward a recommendation to the City Council.

The Variance requested is relatively minor, and as shown below clearly meets all of the parameters set forth in section 1201.05 of the city regulation to support a finding in favor of the Variance. Further, if granted, this Variance will not violate, or circumvent any of the parameters set forth in section 1201.05. Slope of the Garage Roof The petitioner requests a Variance allowing a change to the slope of our garage roof which partially lies within the current City setback regulation. The reasons for changing the slope of the roof are primarily to bring the property into visual harmony with the rest of our building plan (as can be seen on the included plans), allowing the roof to better blend in visually, and to create a potential living space for aging parents with major health conditions. • The proposed roof shall be constructed of the same siding, roofing and windows as will be used throughout our house plan • The proposed roof shall be finished in the identical style as the rest of the house • The proposed roof slope will allow for the addition of window boxes, and seasonal plantings • The proposed change in slope is desired, intended, and shall be built specifically to be unobtrusive and "low key ", blending in with the neighborhood. Support of Favorable Findings City ordinance 1201.05 sets forth the conditions under which Variances such as those proposed in this letter would be found acceptable to the Planning Commission. The petitioner is confident that the proposed Variances fall within these guidelines, notably; A) There are special circumstances and conditions regarding our property at 5915 Galpin Lake Rd. that would deprive the petitioner of a reasonable and minimum use of our land. Our house was built to conform to earlier setback regulations, before the current setbacks were in place. We have no plans to encroach further into any setback territory; we intend to stay completely within the current footprint of the garage as it has existed for 40 years. B) The granting of a variance will not be detrimental to the public health or welfare or injurious to other people in the vicinity. The proposed Variance does no harm to either public or private interests, and is not injurious to any property or interest. In fact, granting the proposed Variance will serve only to create a more pleasing visual harmony, by virtue of the careful architectural design to make the roof lines blend visually. C) The granting of such Variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare, or the rights and uses of other property owners. The proposed Variance does no harm to either public or private interests, and is not injurious to any property or interest. In fact, granting the proposed Variance will RECEIVED NOV — 2 2017 APPLICANTS' NARRATIVE CITY OF SHOREWOOD serve only to create a more pleasing visual harmony, by virtue of the careful architectural design to make the roof lines of the garage blend in with the rest of our home plans. D) The granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privileges. The homes on Galpin Lake Rd. have many widely varied setbacks, and some of the older homes are actually closer to the road setback line than 5915 Galpin Lake Rd. The main point that we were trying to make is that the houses on our road have a very wide variety of setbacks. Some are well over 150' back from the road, and others are much closer. So if the Variance were granted our house would not stick out from a row of houses that are uniformly set back from the road. In addition, the road has a few curves, and hills within our neighborhood, and we are the last house on the north end. The road itself, the house styles, and the house setbacks are all very irregular, and there is no one style or setback that we would be obviously sticking out from. As previously stated there is no desire to expand upon the footprint of the current garage. E) The granting of such Variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of regulation 1201.05. The proposed garage change is designed, laid -out, and shall be constructed in a manner that achieves harmony with the neighborhood, fosters peaceful relations with neighbors, and blends in visually in a low -key, unobtrusive manner with the surroundings. As such, it is clearly in harmony with the overall intents and purposes of the City regulations. Additionally, the proposed change to the garage roofline that this Variance is being requested for does not encroach or infringe on any neighboring residential properties, nor would it impose any hardship on any neighbors, nor would it serve to create a situation where any neighbor's quality of life, property value, or peaceful co- existence would be negatively affected. Quite the contrary, the proposed Variance would allow the petitioner to visually improve the overall look of the garage and enhance the feel of the area, and preemptively provide the space to allow aging parents with declining major health issues an option should it be quickly and unexpectedly needed in the near future. The proposed Variance request is the minimum variance necessary to alleviate the practical difficulties.

The subject property is located in an R -1C /S zoning district, which requires a 35- foot setback from the front lot line. 2. The existing attached garage on the property is nonconforming, being located 25 feet from the front property line, where 35 feet is required. 3. The Applicants propose to expand the home by adding a second story addition over both the home and garage and the additional space above the garage would provide a parents suite. 4. Section 1201.03 Subd. 1. i. of the zoning regulations contain provisions that address nonconforming structures and specifically prohibit expansions of non - conforming structures where the nonconformity would be increased without a variance. CONCLUSIONS A. The Applicants have satisfied the criteria for the grant of a variance under the Shorewood City Code and has established practical difficulty as defined by Minnesota Statutes. B. Based upon the foregoing, the City Council hereby grants to the Applicants a setback variance to build a second story addition, subject to the applicant obtaining all necessary permits prior to construction of the home. C. The City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to provide a certified copy of this resolution for filing with the Hennepin County Recorder or Registrar of Titles. ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SHOREWOOD this 27th day of November, 2017. ATTEST: SANDIE THONE, CITY CLERK SCOTT ZERBY, MAYOR -2- ® #8A MEETING TYPE City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item REGULAR Title / Subject: Joint Purchase with Excelsior and Tonka Bay of Sewer Jet /Vac Truck Meeting Date: November 27, 2017 Prepared by: Larry Brown, Public Works Director Reviewed by: Greg Lerud, City Administrator, Joe Rigdon, Interim Finance Director, and Tim Keane, City Attorney Attachments: Agreement Policy Consideration: Should the City Council enter into an agreement to jointly purchase, and operate, a sewer jet /vac truck with the Cities of Excelsior and Tonka Bay? Background: For several years, the Cities of Excelsior and Tonka Bay have owned and operated a Jet /Vac truck. At the time that unit was originally purchased, the City of Shorewood opted not to join in on this and chose to purchase a much smaller trailered vac. unit. At this time, the cities of Excelsior and Tonka Bay desire to replace their existing truck. Knowing that a replacement was in the works, the Shorewood staff indicated that we would also be willing to participate in a joint purchase, as Shorewood has had numerous occasions where the smaller trailer mounted unit did not have enough power to clear obstructions that occurred in the sanitary sewer mains, and resorted to borrowing the larger jet /vac truck. Since these types of occurrences are becoming more frequent, and the costs for the larger units are substantial, staff is recommending participating on the joint purchase. Attachment 1 to this report is a proposed agreement. If the joint purchase of the jet /vac truck is approved, staff is also recommending that Shorewood's vac trailer and trailered jetter be traded back to the vendor. The vendor has provided very good trade in values for the Shorewood units. In addition, it is worth noting that the agreement proposes and ongoing storage fee to the City Excelsior. Since all of the cities are tight on storage space, the City of Excelsior has proposed making the necessary changes to one of their buildings for storage. If approved, Shorewood and Tonka Bay will have 24 hour direct access to the unit. Financial or Budget Considerations: This agreement provides for splitting the costs equally three ways. The City's share of the purchase of this truck is in the CIP for a 2018 purchase. It was anticipated that the cities would not reach an agreement to purchase and jointly share the equipment until next year. However, the City of Tonka Bay has been pushing to complete the purchase by the end of the year. The funds are available in the Sewer fund for this purchase regardless of which year it occurs. In fact, by the time Tonka Bay receives the equipment and invoices the cities, it may be after the January 1, 2018 before the City pays its share. 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 Options: The city council has three options: 1. Approve the agreement as presented. 2. Not approve the agreement. 3. Give staff other direction to negotiate changes to the proposed agreement. Recommendation / Action Requested: Staff recommends approving the agreement as presented. This is a needed piece of equipment and the ability to jointly purchase this equipment is beneficial to all three cities. In addition, the jet /vac trailer and trailered jetter will be traded into the successful vendor. Next Steps and Timeline: It is anticipated that the cities of Excelsior and Tonka Bay will act on the proposed agreement within the next thirty days. Once all of the cities have approved an agreement, the order will be placed for the unit. It is anticipated that the unit would be delivered in May of 2018. Connection to Vision / Mission: Providing adequate necessary equipment for maintence helps insure safe and continuous operation of the wastewater collection system.
