RE:
Shorewood Mayor and City Council
Brad Nielsen
10 December 1982
Hunner Residence
FILE NO:
656.09 (82.18)
BACKGROUND
Our office has been asked to review plans submitted by Mr. John Hunner
for the remodeling of his current residence located at 20625 Radisson
Inn Road (see Site Location Map, Exhibit A, attached).
Th . 1 . d .k.' \f.) . 1
e property 1S current y occup1ed by a garage an a~ story, slng e
family residence. The residence was originally constructed as a boat
house for the Radisson Inn Hotel. As such it is located approximately
16 feet from the shoreline of Christmas Lake (see Exhibits Band C,
attached). The applicant proposes to add~levels and a pitched roof
(as viewed from the lake) straight up from the existing structure. The
resulting structure will be three levels as viewed from the lake and
approximately one and one-half levels as viewed from the street. The
expansion would approximatelY~he floor area which currently exists.
The property in question is curren\\~zoned R-l, Single Family Residence
District. The site is approximately 80 feet wide at the lake, tapering
to 55 feet at the street, and contains approximately 15,260+ square feet
of area. The lot width, lot area and proximity of the structure to the
lake do not conform to the-R-l District, thus the request requires a
variance to the provisions of the Shorewood Zoning Ordinance.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
From a strictly architectural viewpoint, there is no question that the
proposed addition to the existing structure would be avast improvement
over what currently exists. In considering the request, however, the
City must, to some extent, set aside aesthetic concerns and concentrate
on the overall effect that its decision will have on the application of
development controls to other property in the community. Fore~0st in
zoning is that the controls be applied evenly and consistently to everyone.

Shore\'Jood Mayor and City Counci 1
10 December 1982
Page Two
In the following we have attempted to analyze the request from the
perspective of current as well as proposed development controls.
A. Current Zoning Ordinance. As previously mentioned, the property
in question is nonconforming in three ways - lot area, lot width
and proximity of the structure to the shoreline. The Shorewood
Zoning Ordinance contains specific provisions relative to such
nonconformiti es. Secti on 10 Subd. 1 states as its intent:
" It is the intent of thi s ordi nance to permit those
nonconformities to continue until they are removed, but not to
encourage their survival. Such uses are declared by this
Ordinance to be incompatible with oermitted uses in the districts
involved. It is further the inten~ of this Ordinance that non-
conformities shall not be enlarged upon, expanded nor extended,
nor be used as grounds for adding other structures or uses
prohibited elsewhere in the same district. ...."
Subd. 4 goes on to state specific provisions relative to noncon~
forming structures - all of which clearly preclude the proposed
expansion.
While some may argue that these nonconforming use prOV1S,]OnS represent
an unreasonably hardline approach, it should be noted that such pro-
visions are relatively common in zoning ordinances.
B. Proposed Zoning Ordinance Revision. In the past we have suggested.
that the City look ahead to the proposed zoning ordinance revision
(first draft, dated October 1980) to see how certain situations
are proposed to be handled in the future. Section 200.03, Subd. 1
addresses nonconforming buildings, structures and uses. For the
most part, the provisions are the same as the current zoning
ordinance. A somewhat less restrictive approach is presented in
terms of expanding nonconforming structures, however. Paragraphs
j. and k. suggest that nonconfonning structures be allowed to
expand "to increase 1 i veabi 1 ity" but "provi ded the nonconformity
of the structure will not be increased". Such an expansion is
intended to allow addition of a room or possibly even a garage and
would be subject to a conditional use permit.
Although the proposed structure will be no closer to the water than
the existing structure (except for the proposed deck on the upper
level, which extends 2~ feet from the front surface of the building),
instead of a one level structure being 16 feet from the shoreline,
there \'Jill be a three level structure. Even though the proposed
ordinance provides some flexibility for nonconforming structures,
it still would not allow the proposed expansion.
..
Shorewood Mayor and City Council
10 December 1982

C. Variance. Since both the old and new ordinances preclude the proposed
exoansion, the question of variance must be considered. Section 6,
Subd. 2 C. prescribes conditions which must exist in order to justify
a variance. Based upon provisions 1.(a) through (c) the request does
not appear to meet the necessary criteria.
From a pl anni ng perspective, we typi ca lly exami ne \'/hether the structure
could be placed on the site without need of a variance. In this case,
nothing can be.done about the nonconforming lot area or lot width.
~.Q.nside)'inSJ the lo.t-s.izei...in the surrounding vicinity (see Exhibit A),
this is not a o'ucia1 concern since the area is inappropriately zoned-in
our cpin'ion. Proximity to the~lake, then remains the primary considera-
tion'1.lJGiv.en the extent of the expansion (the structure will be increased
from-'\~~square feet to over.~ square feet in area), one wou1 d
consider the request as being ~-~lace a new structure on top of the
old one. In our estimation this new structure could be accommodated
within the buildable area (area remaining after setbacks are subtracted)
with no difficulty (see Exhibit D). It should be noted that the structure
may have to be turned on the site or redesigned, but the space could
still be achieved. .
Judging from our involvement in Shorewood's Comprehensive Plan, one
of the major conc~rns of Shorewood residents is to preserve the natural
character of the community and particularly the shorelines of city lakes.
Considering the extent of the p~oposed alteration, the natural character
of the lake would be better served if the structure were placed back
on the lot.
D. Shore1and Regulations. The proposed zoning ordinance contains provisions
for shore1and management consistent with Minnesota De artme fNatura1
Resources requirements (see Section 200.24. orewood, as all other
cities, \if11 be required to adopt such regulations in the near future.
Since variances in Shore1and areas will be subject to review and comment
by the DNR, we checked with DNR staff as to how they would evaluate
this request. As suspected, their reaction was highly negative. The
extent of the expansion was .cited as their primary concern.
.. ~ ,.
RECOMf.1ENDA T I ON
Although zoning requirements are admittedly geared for new development,
there is an underlying assumption that properties which existed previously
and do not conform to city standards. will ultimately be brouQbt into.
~~~fQ~~~~l-!9.-1h~,&teut~.ii~]~_ This is the premise upon which non-
conformlng use provisions in a zoning ordinance are founded. To do less
~.
Shorewood Mayor and City Council
10 December 1982
Page Four
would amount to unequal application of the regulations.
In preparing this report we have not addressed the historic significance
of the Radisson Inn bdathouse. In our opinion, the proposed expansion
would bear no resemblance and in no way preserve the historic aspect
of the structure.
Based upon the preceding analysis, approval of a variance to allow
expansion of a nonconforming structure would be ill-advised.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 20, 1983
FROM: Jim Miller, Shorewood Building Inspector
RE: HOWARDS POINT MARINA
The visual inspection of the gasoline pump supply line that is used at
Howards Point Marina reveals that it has not changed any since it was
installed. The gasoline pipe line is secured to dock posts on the right
side of dock 24 inches below water level and approximately 36 inches below
dock deck. This portion of gasoline piping would be almost impossible to
strike with any water craft. At the gas dock, .itself, the gasoline pipe is
under center of dock with no possible contact with any craft. I can see
no real problem in this area. I can not see the gas pipe or how it's
mounted the first 30 to 35 inches as there is too moch ice and snow, but
the portion where boat traffic is - is open water and can be readily seen.

Re: Shorewood Yacht Club, Inc.
Dear Mr. Mayor,
Today I, along with Win Kohls who is a member of the
Shorewood Yacht Club Board of Directors, stopped at City
Hall to make application for a 1983 Dock Permit for 125
slips. Ms. Kennelly advised us that she would pass on our
request and material to the City attorney and request that
we be placed on the agenda at the Council meeting on Jan.
24, 1983.
The following is a partial table of events past:
12-2-74
Initial request for 180 slips under
C-3
Application made to the LMCD for 125
slips
LMCD tabled application at the re-
quest of the City of Shorewood
City of Shorewood voted to deny permit
Fourth District Court, State of Minne-
sota entered a judgement "against the
City of Shorewoodcompe11ing the City
of Shorewood and its Council to issue
a conditional use permit to petitioner
for a yacht club as applied for by
petitioner"
Minnesota Supreme Court meeting en banc
upheld the lower court decision.

After some difficulty in establishing "dock use areas",
Minnetonka Moorings, Inc. has entered into a lease of the
Arvidson Parcel to the west of our property. This would
allow the LMCD to grant our request for 125 slips.
As you know, the Shorewood Yacht Club and its members
have been an asset to the community and to the sport of
sailing in general. Our facility is considered the finest
in the entire Midwest.

Time is of the essence as installing the pier posts
through the ice is considerably less expensive than during
the summer in open water.
We look forward to being on the agenda of the Council
on Honday evening, the 24th, and I appreciate your atten-
tion to this matter.
Sincerely,

* Of the eleven Shorewood officials entrusted to con-
sider the application, only two found that the evi-
dence failed to meet the standards or criteria of
the Ordinance. Unfortunately, these two officials
constituted two-fifths of the City Council and was
a sufficient minority to defeat the application.
