PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE AND PRAYER: The meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer. ROLL CALL: Present: Mayor Rascop, Councilmembers Haugen, Shaw, Leonardo, and Stover Staff: Attorney Larson, Engineer Mittelsteadt, Administrator Uhrhammer and Clerk Kennelly APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Haugen moved, seconded by Stover, to approve the minutes of the regular Council meeting of June 13th, 1983, as corrected in the official minute book. Motion carried unanimously. Stover moved, seconded by Rascop, to approve the minutes of a Special Council meeting of June 8th, 1983, as corrected in the official minute book. Motion carried unanimously. SENATOR GEN OLSON: Senator Gen Olson was present to inform the Council of some of the past legislative changes that will affect our city. The lifting of levy limitations for cities of less than 5,000 people and the change in the formula reducing the state aid received by Shorewood were discussed. Council questioned whether the State understood what a financial bind some cities are being placed in by the reduction of State and Federal funds. Ms. Olson didn't feel that the state level people were really familiar with local problems because they have not worked at that level of gover.nment. Council thanked Gen Olson for her time and information. CITIZEN'S FORUM: Jim Bruce-1010 Holly Lane RESOLUTION NO. 47-83 Mr. Bruce was present to request a reduction in his property valuation for 1983, he just received a 2nd valuation notice from the County with a 40,000 increase over the 1st notice received. Shaw moved, seconded by Stover, to instruct the attorney to draw a Resolution reducing the land value back to last years figure / ($110,000.). Motion carried unanimously. . . REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY, JUNE 27, 1983 PAGE TWO CITIZEN'S FORUM: - continued Swimming Pool Permit - Seaman Knapp - 28085 Boulder Bridge Drive Tom Wartman made the presentation for Mr. Knapp requesting a swimming pool installation at above location. Stover moved, seconded by Haugen, to approve request as submitted. Motion carried unanimously. Dram Shop Coverage: Kipp Johnson from the Skipperette Store questioned why the Council passed the Dram Shop Ordinance with no exclusion of coverage for the stores selling less than the $10.000 limit, currently charged to $20,000 limits. Attorney Larson reviewed the Council's reasons for not having the exclusion. He indicated that he did not have a copy of the new act that changed the limits. Haugen requested the Attorney to review the new act and its changes. Shaw would also like a report on the available Dram Shop insurance coverage. Rachel Leonardo: Mrs. Leonardo presented three questions to the Council: 1) Why are they rezoning R-l property to higher density zoning? 2) Why is the current zoning classification being changed? 3) Why are we interested in State Road Aid funds, and why do we acquire additional road right-of-way? (Letter from Leonardo attached in minute book) The Council generally felt that each rezoning had been carefully reviewed and any rezoning was to create the best use of that particular property. Leonardo felt that some rezoning had been done "thoughtlessly". The reason for the new zoning classifications is to place correct zoning on properties that are non-conforming in their present zone. The road acquisitions were for the purpose of standardizing road widths without condemnation. This may be for safety or utility installations, a good planning practice for the future. Leonardo did not see a need ford;his land to improve the roa .~ The State Road A~~Vuns available, after reachin $5.000 from $15,000 to~~5,000. These funds are needed tD- e necessary current repairs. The staff will investigate the re rements neces- sary to meet and receive these funds prior to qualifying for them. Leonardo had concerns about what is necessary to qualify and what roads would be considered "State Road Aid" roads marked for improve- ment. . . REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY, JUNE 27, 1983 PAGE THREE CITIZEN'S FORUM: Rachel Leonardo - continued Mrs. Leonardo thanked the Council for their responses and asked that the residents in her area be notified of any zoning changes and road improvements that might be made. Mike Pierro commented the some of the financial problems the City is experiencing came from previous Councils feeling that they were making "good planning" decisions ?-t the time, and very conservative use of levy limitations that did not allow for acquiring a contin- gency fund. VARIANCE REQUEST: Ojars and Mara Arsts - 20460 Radisson Inn Road Mr. Arsts presented plan for an addition to his home which is a non-conforming structure because of the current front setback. His addition would increase the non-conformity. Haugen moved, seconded by Shaw, to table and return with a modified plan not exceeding the present setback as recommended by the Plan- ning Commission. Motion carried unanimously. VARIANCE REQUEST - Ilka Priest - 24020 Yellowstone Trail RESOLUTION NO. 48-83 Mrs. Priest was present to request a variance to construct a 7~ foot privacy fence for a newly constructed tennis court. Stover moved, seconded by Shaw, to approve the variance as requested. Motion carried unanimously by roll call vote - 5 ayes. CHRISTMAS LAKE ADDITION: Variance request for Subdivision RESOLUTION NO. 49-83 Mrs. Brooks of 21195 Radisson Inn Road presented her preliminary plat of 5 lots with a request for 3 variances. 1) Square footage variance on Lot 5 (5380 square feet) 2) Road frontage on Lot 1 (20 feet) 3) Lot width at set back on Lot 3 (5 feet) Haugen moved, seconded by Shaw, to accept the preliminary plat to include the requested variance, in accordance with the Planning i~mmission and Planner's recommendation.

The pool itself has been approved by the City Council and: is,soonJ:o be under construction. The variance is actually for the concrete decking around the pool (see Exhibit At' attached). The current Zoning Ordinance-;<:',: requires a 50 foot rear yard setback for all structures in the R-l district. . As proposed the pool decking would be 39 feet from the rear property line, an .-' 11 foot variance. The lot contains 37,500 square feet of area. The reduction in lot area was al- lowed as part of the P.U.R.D. approval for Boulder Bridge Farm. The site plan for the Knapp residence also shows a future deck and gazebo. So as to avoid the necessity of requesting another variance, they have requested a.10 foot variance at this time. ANAL YS IS IRECOMMENDATION'. '. . The variance request is largely due to the shape and size of th& lot in questiori..+ The lot contains an inordinate amount of frontage relative to its size.. As." result,. setbacks drastically reduce its buildable area... This was apparentl~',.:<:":,,:_ recognized at the time the Boulder Bridge P.U.R.D. was approved because the sub- ject lot and several others were given a front yard variance from 50 feet' to 30~ c feet.

In such cases where the developer is required to dedi- cate land area, the City shall have the right to determine the geographic location and con- figuration of such dedication. a. Schedule for Dedication of Public Land in All Areas Zoned Residential. All areas zoned residential subdivisions, ten percent (10%) of the undeveloped land proposed to be subdivided or such lesser percentage as the City shall determine to be specifically and uniquely attributable to the proposed development or an equivalent amount in cash based upon the fair market value of the undeveloped land as determined by the City at the time of the final plat approval or any combination thereof. b. Commercial, Industrial or Other Non- Residential Subdivisions. Seven percent (7%) of the undeveloped land proposed to be subdivided or an equivalent amount of cash based upon fair market value of the undeveloped land as determined by the City at the time of the final plat approval or any combination thereof. c. The percentages set forth in paragraphs a. and b. shall be in addition to the property dedicated for streets, alleys, waterways, pedestrial ways or other public ways. No area may be dedicated as parks, playgrounds or public lands until -4- . . such areas have been approved for the purpose to which they are to be dedi- cated. d. Cash in Lieu of Land. All monies collected from cash contributions shall be placed in a special fund to be spent only on those public uses as allowed by Minnesota Statutes. e. Delayed Dedication Payment. Upon petition by the Developer, the Council may approve a delay in the actual dedication of the cash required in lieu of land until such time the development occurs on the property being platted, provided that a proper legal agreement is executed guaranteeing such dedication. Delayed dedication payment shall include eight percent (8%} interest per year." This Ordinance shall take effect from and after its passage and publication.

Consulting Engineers Land Surveyors July 11, 1983 City of Shorewood 5755 Country Club Road Shorewood, MN 55331 Attn: Mr. Doug Uhrhammer City Administrator Re: Updated Water Report & Distribution Layout Dear City Officials: A Feasibility Report and Estimate of Cost for Public Improvement No. 77-1, Water Main, Municipal Well, and Appurtenant Work was prepared May 23, 1977. The report was prepared at the request of the Shore- wood City Council following a discussion of needs for the ~tart of a municipal water system. Information from that report can be used to update a current water report and distribution layout. However, a cost for a new report versus updating the old one, as requested, is not feasible since th~ initial report was based on an entirely different system layout. The approach to the '77 report was based on a .central" water system where the entire town would be served from a well field located at Badger Park. Trunk water mains were sized to distribute the water from the central source to all parts of the City. As a result, the trunk lines were large and extended quite a distance from the Badger Park well field. Unlike the "central" water system proposed in the '77 report, deep wells and pumphouses have been constructed as new developments occurred. As a result, six (6) deep wells and four (4) pumphouses currently exist. They are randomly scattered throughout the City. One more deep well (or well doublet) and a pumphouseare required to complete the source supply capable of serving the entire town. That well is the one slated for development when Near Mountain proceeds. The problem that remains is to connect all the deep wells and pumphouses into a single unified system. To accomplish this and provide equlibrium in the system, the pipe sizes must be analyzed ?n?1 ~~ r-t J-JannDnin II "anlla _ C:"ita ??P _ Ill1innaf:>nnlir- /:l1innDr-nt,> h hA 1? . ;:: 1?

However, the majority of the work consists of proper data input with a well laid out system model. To accomplish this work, we propose the preparation of a computer analyzed distribution system and updating the pertinent information from the original report into a "Final Water Report" for the ultimate system in Shorewood. The cost for this report would be $2,500.00. As the system is installed, the cost of the report would be reimbursed on a proportional basis. With the aid of a Final Water Report for the ~ntire City, regardless of where or when an improvement is proposed, there would be no guess work on the size of pipe required or the pressure and ~low available.

(612) 474-3236 MEMORANDUM TO: PLANNING COMMISSION, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: BRAD NIELSEN DATE: 1 JULY 1983 RE: KNAPP, SEAMAN - SWIMMING POOL VARIANCE FILE NO.: 405 (83.25) BACKGROUND Mr. Seaman Knapp, 28085 Boulder Bridge Dr., has requested a setback variance to build a swimming pool. The pool itself has been approved by the City Counci and. is;soon_to be under construction. The variance is actually for the concrete decking around the pool (see Exhibit A, attached). The current Zoning requires a 50 foot rear yard setback for all structures in the R-l district.. As proposed the pool decking would be 39 feet from the rear property line, an 11 foot variance. The lot contains 37,500 square feet of area. The reduction in lot area was al- lowed as part of the P.D.R.D. approval for Boulder Bridge Farm. The site plan for the Knapp residence also shows a future deck and gazebo. So as to avoid the necessity of requesting another variance, they have requested a 10 foot variance at this time. The variance request is largely due to the shape and size of the lot in quest The lot contains an inordinate amount of frontage relative to its size. As result, setbacks drastically reduce its buildable area. This was apparently recognized at the time the Boulder. Bridge P.U.R.D. was approved because the ject lot and several others were given a front yard variance from 50 feet to feet. Ironically the house was constructed in compliance with the 50 foot set- back requirement. ANALYSIS/RECOMMENDATION A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council 1 July 1983 Page Two Technically, the request does not meet the requirementafor a variance.

Rear Yard 30' 30' 5-30' 10' 6' la' 5' While the typical characteristics of swimming pools suggest that some ment into rear yards may be appropriate, the same does not apply to the gazebo. It is suggested that the gazebo be treated aa any other accessory ingandbe kept within the buildable area of the lot. If a variance is granted for the swimming pool, it should be followed by an amendment to the Zoning Ordi- nance reducing the setbacks to a more reasonable standard. cc: Doug Uhrhammer Gary Larson Jim Norton Torn Wartman Seaman Knapp Kathy West t- +I \\ )' I ' \ ',-- , / \ / -'--.. .- "-~i/x,<,-\~>(- _.// 'v /l~\ .\ ',\ ,/ .~\ "iI / (.,'~ 1 3 " .r - II" n' ~' '.
