Mayor Zerby called the meeting to order at 6:00 P.M.
Due to the Centers for Disease Control’s recommendation limiting the number of people present
at a meeting, and pursuant to MN Statute 13D.02, the Shorewood City Council Work Session
Meeting was held via electronic means.

Roll Call Vote: Motion passed.
Johnson, Labadie, Siakel and Zerby.
2. 2021 Proposed Budget
Finance Director Rigdon gave an overview of the proposed 2021 budget and levy and the deadline
for approval. He reviewed the General Fund and noted that it currently is at a three point four
percent increase from 2020, without any transfers and noted that in 2020, the City had a five point
2 percent increase. He explained that the total transfers out are being treated differently in this
budget than in prior years. He explained the bond process and noted that the levies need to go
directly into the debt service funds. He stated that the proposed budget levies taxes directly to
capital projects and debt service funds, which eliminates the need for transfers out of the General
Fund but noted that the Shorewood Community and Event Center will continue to receive annual
transfers from the General Fund. He reviewed the personnel-related assumptions for the
proposed 2021 budget and reviewed the pie chart that outlined the expenditures and where they
fall within the cities budget. He explained that Public Safety accounts for about forty-three
percent, general government for twenty eight percent, streets about twenty-two percent, and
parks and recreation about seven percent. He noted that the revenues, excluding transfers in,
are budgeted for a sixteen point five percent decrease from the 2020 budget. He explained that
this decrease is due to the proposed taxes being directly levied to various capital projects and
debt service funds as previously discussed. He noted that the overall preliminary property tax
levy is two percent higher than the 2020 total levy. He stated that currently, in order to balance
the budget, there is a plan to use one-hundred ninety-eight thousand, two-hundred forty-five
dollars from the reserves. He reviewed the Enterprise funds and how they are funded. He noted
that the City is considering some rate adjustments in order to fund the CIP. He noted that staff
will bring those details to the Council soon. He noted that the overall 2021 property tax levy is
CITY OF SHOREWOOD WORK SESSION COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 10, 2020
Page 2 of 3
proposed at a two percent increase from 2020. He gave examples of how this levy increase will
affect a six hundred thousand dollar home in the City. He stated that staff welcomes feedback
from the Council on the proposed 2021 budget and asked City Administrator Lerud to review the
CARES Funding.
City Administrator Lerud gave an overview of the use of the CARES funding that the City received.
He explained that the City received five-hundred seventy-nine thousand dollars. He stated that
staff believes that the unbudgeted, unanticipated COVID-19 expenses will be somewhere under
one-hundred and fifty-thousand dollars. He noted that for the remaining amount of the funds,
staff is planning to reimburse ourselves for police and fire personnel expenditures, which is an
eligible use under the CARES Act funding. He stated that this allows the City to use one-hundred
ninety-eight thousand, two hundred forty-five of that in reducing the tax levy for next year and the
remaining amount will be available for the City to meet other unanticipated expenditures related
to COVID-19. He stated that he believes this is consistent with the conservative budgeting that
the City likes to do. He stated that the main value is that it allows the levy to be less which adds
value to everybody by lowering their taxes.
Mayor Zerby asked about the administrative assistant position and the planned improvements at
the Shorewood Community and Event Center.
City Administrator Lerud explained that the administrative assistant position increase in hours was
in reference to Amelia. He asked for a moment in order to bring up the CIP for the Shorewood
Community and Event Center.
Mayor Zerby stated that he feels the budget seems to have been well thought through.
Councilmember Siakel stated that she agrees that the ideas surrounding the CARES Act funding
make a lot of sense and likes that it is going directly back to residents.
City Administrator Lerud stated that he cannot access the CIP for the Shorewood Community and
Event Center and asked if he could supply this information to the Council at a future meeting.
Finance Director Rigdon noted that he had the information City Administrator Lerud was looking
for. He reviewed the proposed CIP for the Shorewood Community and Event Center.
City Administrator Lerud noted that some of the information in the CIP has already been
completed, so he believes the number may actually be lower. He reiterated that the Shorewood
Community and Event Center has been kept in the General Fund and did not have a separate
levy. He stated that he will bring the specific information back to the Council at a future meeting.

investigation and preservation of the potential historical sites. He explained that Blondo
Consulting has submitted a proposal to do the construction inspections. He noted that, to staff,
the amount they have quoted seems very high. He stated that staff has spoken to Mr. Blondo
about their concerns and he indicated that the cost submitted was the absolutely worst-case
scenario and expects the costs to be a fraction of the amount given. He stated that staff would
still like the opportunity to consider other entities to do the actual inspections required. He stated
that staff is recommending that the City authorize the expenditure for the construction monitoring
for the projects, in a not to exceed dollar amount He stated that staff would plan to come back

10. STAFF AND COUNCIL REPORTS
A. Administrator and Staff
1. Street Light Request Update
Planning Technician Notermann gave an overview of the request from a resident for a street light
on Smithtown Road and Club Lane. She explained the City’s procedure for handling this request
and when it may be brought back to the Council for review.
2. Excelsior Chamber of Commerce Request Follow UP
City Administrator Lerud explained that during the last Council meeting there was a request from
the Excelsior Chamber of Commerce during Matters from the Floor. He stated that they had
asked for funding assistance for a month’s worth of operations which is about eight thousand
dollars. He reminded the Council that their justification in the request was that the City contributes
seventy thousand five hundred dollars every year for the fireworks which the City had not yet done
this year. He explained that this would be CARES fund eligible and explained his understanding
of what the City of Excelsior has approved in contributions for the Chamber. He stated that staff
is looking for direction from the Council to this request. He noted that he had asked how many of
the businesses in the Excelsior Chamber of Commerce are Shorewood businesses and was told
that there are seventeen businesses, which is the equivalent of ten percent of the membership in
the Chamber.
Councilmember Siakel asked if funding from their own membership has dried up. She stated that
she understands there is a pandemic, but assumes the request is in order to keep people
employed.
City Administrator Lerud stated that he believes the vast majority of their revenue comes from
events and COVID-19 has put a crimp on them being able to hold events.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 10, 2020
Page 5 of 7
Mayor Zerby noted that he spoke with Ms. Weiss last week and had a good conversation about
the Chamber and the changes they are going through. He stated that there has been a renewed
interested in working with neighboring cities beyond the Excelsior borders. He stated that Ms.
Weiss is interested in a potential Memorandum of Understanding with the City that would help
outline some of the services or expectations between the City and the Chamber. He stated that
he would be in favor of assisting them with the funding, at this time, as long as there is the
expectation that that City will follow up regarding a Memorandum of Understanding.
Councilmember Labadie stated that she is intrigued by the fact that Excelsior basically pledged
one amount of money and a second amount if other cities also contributed. She stated that she
may be in favor of also leaning in that direction, where the City would contribute based on the
condition that other neighboring cities also contribute.
Councilmember Siakel stated that she thinks that would be fair, but noted that it feels a bit like the
City is giving funding, but has no idea why and what it will be used for. She stated that she agrees
with Councilmember Labadie that it should not just be the City bailing the Chamber out, but should
be a community-wide approach in order for her to consider it.
Councilmember Labadie noted that her thoughts were solidified when she found out that
seventeen businesses, or ten percent of the Chamber belongs to Shorewood, which means ninety
percent of the Chamber comes from the other cities. She stated that she supports helping but
wants to make sure Shorewood is not the only one that are doing it and are the only ones on the
hook. She stated that she is still not completely certain without having a spreadsheet or any kind
of documentation of exactly where this money will be going or what it will be used for. She stated
that she understands it is to keep the Chamber operating, but asked if there was a way to
elaborate on how these funds will be used.
Jen Weiss, Executive Director of the Excelsior Chamber of Commerce, stated that she had
submitted packets a few weeks ago to the Council that had some of this information. She
explained that seventy-seven percent of their operating budget comes from events and twenty-
three percent comes from membership dues. She stated that being in a situation where events
cannot happen due to COVID-19 has put them into a tailspin. She stated that their Board has cut
two-hundred twenty-two thousand dollars from their operating expenses. She explained that they
need one-hundred and thirty-three thousand dollars to operate for seventeen months, assuming
they are not able to hold any events. She stated that they have also brought the organization
down to one staff member, which is herself, and they have also given up their lease, so they
currently have no physical location. She noted that as of last week, they had raised enough funds
through donations to get them through mid-October. She stated that the City of Excelsior has
stepped in and pledged just over eight thousand dollars and will pledge additional funds if the
other four cities come up with four months of the Chambers run rate. She gave an overview of
cities that they have already met with and what has been pledged. She noted that they qualify
for CARES act funding.
Councilmember Siakel asked for clarification of Ms. Weiss stating that the Chamber also qualified
for the CARES act funding.
Ms. Weiss stated that the Chamber does qualify to be a recipient of the CARES act funds through
the cities.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 10, 2020
Page 6 of 7
City Administrator Lerud clarified that the Chamber is not a direct recipient of the CARES act
funds, but is an eligible expense from a member city.
Ms. Weiss explained that because they are a 501(c)6 they were left out of the PPP funding which
has been one of the hurdles are dealing with right now.
Councilmember Siakel asked what the Chamber would do if they do not receive the requested
funds.
Ms. Weiss stated that the very real situation is that they could end up closing down which is
concerning to the members. She stated that there have been numerous studies that show the
difference in cities that operate with and without a Chamber of Commerce. She stated that without
a Chamber there is a higher turnover rate, longer vacancies for businesses, and slower growing
business districts. She stated that all of these things directly relate to the tax base and the housing
tax base and have a ripple effect on the cities. She stated that the Chamber events will be coming
back and are just paused as an unfortunate side effect of COVID-19.
Councilmember Labadie thanked Ms. Weiss for clarifying some of their questions. She explained
that the City has been spoiled by having one of the best Finance Directors on the planet with
Finance Director Rigdon. She stated that he always gives the Council spreadsheets and detailed
financial reports which is why they wanted more detailed information from Ms. Weiss. She asked
how much Tonka Bay was planning to contribute.
Ms. Weiss explained that they have not yet met with Tonka Bay Council yet and will meet with
them in about two weeks. She stated that she had included spreadsheets with more detailed
financial information in the packet she had submitted and noted that she would resend that to the
Council.
City Administrator Lerud noted that he had located the budget spreadsheet that Ms. Weiss
submitted and will forward it to the Council.
Councilmember Siakel stated that she would like to gather more information before the Council
considers taking any action on this item.
Councilmember Johnson stated that he is in favor of the idea of all the cities being in it together,
the way Excelsior has done it. He stated that since the Chamber is currently funded through
October, that does give the City a little time to look more closely at the details. He stated that he
would like to see this brought back as an agenda item for the next Council meeting.
Other
Finance Director Rigdon expressed his appreciation to Shannon Sweeney of David Drown
Associates for walking the City through the bond sale process. He thanked him for his patience
and noted that all the work culminated in a really great day for the City.

Grant application
Background:
CenterPoint Energy has a public safety grant program where police or
fire departments are eligible to apply for assistance to purchase needed safety
equipment. The maximum grant amount is $2,500 and cannot exceed 50 percent of the
total project cost. Because SLMPD and EFD are joint powers agencies, one of the
member cities must sponsor the application. Shorewood is sponsoring the SLMPD
application for protective masks for the officers. We received notice that the grant was
awarded, and the funds have been received and will be transferred to SLMPD.
There is no cost to the city, and the required matching funds will come from the SLMPD
budget.
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

City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item
Regular Meeting
Title / Subject: Multiple Dock Facility License
Location: 23500 Smithtown Road
Applicant: Shorewood Marina
Meeting Date: August 18, 2020
Prepared by: Marie Darling, Planning Director
Attachments: Draft License
Existing and New Dock Layout
Background:
Attached is the Shorewood Marina’s annual multiple dock facility
license application. City Code section 1201.24, Subd. 10 states that renewal of the
license shall be granted provided the license terms and the terms of any conditional
use permits are complied with; in this case for the caretaker’s home and the outdoor
storage of boats. As indicated on the application, the owner agrees to arrange for the
necessary inspection to ensure that the number of slips and the length of certain boats
would conform to the original license. The inspection would be conducted when the
slips are occupied next summer by City staff.
This license is for the configuration of the docks that was recently approved by the
Lake Minnetonka Conservation District (LMCD). The applicant has stated they have
applied for their 2021 license early than usual as they will be reconstructing their
docks in September and October for use next year. The new configuration includes
the same number of slips as the previous docks (117).
Financial or Budget Considerations:
The fee for the license covers the cost of
processing the application and conducting the inspection.
Recommendation / Action Requested:
Staff recommend approval of the multiple
dock facility license application for the Shorewood Marina for the year 2021, subject to
the required inspection.
Action on this item requires a simple majority. Action also authorizes City
Administrator Lerud to execute the license.
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.

City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item
Title / Subject: Accepting 2020 Residential Recycling Grant
Meeting Date: Monday, August 24, 2020
Prepared by: Julie Moore, Communications and Recycling Coordinator
Attachments: Resolution
Background: On July 29, 2020, the city received the 2020 SCORE Recycling Grant Disbursement from
Hennepin County in the amount of $13,779.67. The purpose of the county’s residential recycling grant
is to provide funding to increase recycling and help reach the 2030 recycling goal established by the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
The amount is a decrease of $2,115.33 from 2019 due to the fact that the county’s new funding policy
has shifted more grant money to organics. In 2017 the funding policy allocated 80 percent of the total
grant money to recycling and 20 percent to organics. In 2018 the funding policy allocates 70 percent of
the total grant money to recycling and 30 percent to organics. In 2019 the policy allocates 60 percent of
the total grant money to recycling and 40 percent to organics. In 2020, the allocation is 50-50. The city
will get an organics recycling disbursement in September. The basic requirements as required by
Hennepin County for the grant dollars are as follows:
1.Collect a basic list of recyclable materials as specified by the county
2.Use county terminology and images when describing recycling guidelines
3.Provide recycling information on the city’s website (collection schedule, yes/no list, etc.)
4.Provide a recycling guide to residents each year
5.Support the county’s outreach efforts by completing two educational activities
Financial or Budget Considerations: Favorable to the recycling budget in the amount of $13,779.67 for
the purposes described above.
Recommendation/Action Requested:
Motion: Staff respectfully requests the city council accept Resolution 20- accepting the 2020 SCORE
Recycling Grant Disbursement issued by Hennepin County in the amount of $13,779.67.
Motion, Second, and Simple Majority required.
Connection to Vision /Mission: Consistency in providing the community with quality public services, a
healthy environment, a sustainable tax base and sound financial management through effective,
efficient, and visionary leadership.

5. Support the county’s outreach efforts by completing two educational activities; and

3. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
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 – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, REZONING
AND PUD CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE VILLAS OF SHOREWOOD VILLAGE
Applicant: Stoddard Company
Location: Vacant parcel north of Highway 7 between Eureka Road and
Seamans Drive
Chair Maddy opened the Public Hearing at 7:05 P.M. noting the procedures used in a Public
Hearing and asked for Planning Director Planning Director Darling to present the request.
Director Darling presented the staff report and indicated that staff were recommending approval
of the item subject to several conditions. Planning Director Darling also indicated that staff had
CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
AUGUST 4, 2020 ----DRAFT----
Page 2 of 4
received a letter from the Shorewood Ponds board of directors that included a preference that the
road be constructed through the subdivision rather than end in a cul-de-sac.
Chair Maddy recognized the applicant, Bill Stoddard representing Stoddard Companies.
Commissioner Riedel asked the applicant if more information would be presented on the design
of the storm water plan.
The applicant is responded affirmatively, noting that information would be presented with more
detail in later PUD phases.
Commissioner Gorham asked about the email from MnDOT staff indicating that their staff is of
the conclusion that the development would be too small to warrant any improvements to the
intersection.
The applicant indicated that they agreed with MnDOT and noted that staff had directed them to
provide a traffic study of the intersection, but due to the impact of the COVID pandemic, they did
not think any traffic study would be accurate.
Director Darling noted that the development may not warrant improvements to the intersection,
but without the study staff is unable to determine if the waits at the intersection would increase to
the point that residents would take alternative routes to the other intersections with Highway 7.
Chair Maddy opened the Public Testimony portion of the Public Hearing at 7:35 P.M.
Chair Maddy recognized Kim Koehnen, 6115 Seamans Drive, indicated that she is in favor of the
density and likes the cul-de-sac as it would cut down on through traffic to Cub and park traffic
after events.
Chair Maddy recognized Joe Quillen, 6100 Seamans Drive, indicated that he is concerned about
property values and does not believe that they would not be impacted.
Chair Maddy recognized Steve Frazier, 6125 Seamans Drive, preferred this layout over a through
street to cut down on traffic from the park. He remembered that the property owner cut down a
number of trees in the southeast corner of the site after a previous development approval was
denied because it would have been too high a density. He also asked if approval of this PUD
would be a precedent for any additional requests in the area and if this would be based on a
particular zoning district.
Director Darling noted that each PUD is custom-suited to the property and based on a particular
situation property. As such, they do not act as a precedent to approve additional developments.
This development would be most consistent with the R-1D zoning district, although not fully
compliant.
Chair Maddy recognized Sandy Finke, 6060 Seamans Drive, listed a number of comments:
she felt this development would make the traffic situation in the neighborhood worse
she proposed the City buy the property and create a park
she was concerned that the development would encourage parking on Seamans Drive
she was concerned with how close the homes would be to the property to the north and
felt the largest setbacks should be adjacent to the north property line
she was supportive of limiting sheds and other property issues could be limited

AUGUST 4, 2020 ----DRAFT----
Page 3 of 4
Chair Maddy recognized Robert Finke, 6060 Seamans Drive stated that he agreed with Sandy’s
point, did not feel there was a need for change and was not in support of the additional lots.
Director Darling responded…
Chair Maddy recognized Mike Steadman, 24505 Niblick Alcove stated that detached villas are
perfect for empty nesters and the market is very strong. He indicated that the villas in the
Minnetonka Country Club have sold out. He stated that the homes provide 2500-3500 square
feet on the main floor and a maintenance free living, which is a nice alternative.
Chair Maddy closed the Public Testimony portion of the Public Hearing at 8:xx P.M.
Eggenberger moved, Gualt seconded, recommending approval of the application for
comprehensive plan amendment, rezoning to PUD and PUD Concept plan subject to the
conditions listed in the memo. Motion passed 4/1, with Chair Maddy dissenting.
4. NEW BUSINESS
A. Variance to Front Setback for a Deck
Applicant: Elizabeth Witchger and Gerry Trainor
Location: 5840 Strawberry Land
Chair Maddy introduced the application and recognized Director Darling to present the staff report.
Planning Director Darling presented the staff report and indicated that she had received two letter
expressing support for the application from the following neighbors,
Dan Malone, 5830 Strawberry Lane
Dania Schulman, 26425 Strawberry Ct.
Chair Maddy recognized the applicant and Pat Mackey, the applicant’s architect who spoke in
favor of the request.
Mr. Mackey indicated the purpose of the project was to provide both a safe entrance to the home
and to provide more community interaction.
Chair Maddy recognized Dania Schulman, 26425 Strawberry Ct. who also spoke in favor of the
request.
Commissioner Riedel asked about the concerns with the setback.
he supported the project and did not think it was intrusive, but
Commissioner Gorman indicated
without a practical difficulty he could not, in strict interpretation of the code, recommend
approving the variance.
Eggenberger moved, Gault seconded, recommending approval of the application for
variance to front setback subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. Motion failed
1/4. (Commissioner Eggenberger voting aye)
Those voting against the variance found that the applicant, while not a request for an
unreasonable variance, had not shown practical difficulties existed.

City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item
Regular Meeting
Title / Subject: Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezoning, and PUD Concept Plan
Applicant: Stoddard Companies
Location: Vacant parcel north of Highway 7 between Eureka Road and Seamans Drive
Meeting Date: August 24, 2020
Prepared by: Marie Darling, Planning Director
Review Deadline: October 9, 2020
Attachments: Planning Staff Memorandum
Correspondence Received
Resolution approving a Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Ordinance approving a Rezoning
Resolution approving a PUD Concept Plan
Background: See attached memorandum for detailed background on this item.
At their August 4, 2020, meeting, the Planning Commission voted four in favor and one opposed (Chair
Maddy dissenting) to recommend approval of the application based on the findings that the request
met the standards for approval, subject to the conditions in the attached resolution. Chair Maddy
dissented due to the increase in density. The applicant was present at the meeting and spoke in favor
of the request. Seven people from the audience requested to speak and one letter was submitted
(attached). (Additional letters were submitted after the meeting) The majority of the issues raised are
summarized below.
Traffic at the intersection:
Several residents indicated concerns with traffic congestion at the Eureka Road intersection, heavy
traffic on Eureka Road, and issues with school bus traffic. Staff replied that the low number of homes
would not likely warrant requiring improvements to the intersection, but could increase wait times for
vehicles entering Highway 7. Whether the wait times would increase to the point where drivers would
choose to drive through the neighborhood to find another route is unknown and could only be
answered by a traffic study.
Internal street alignment:
Several speakers mentioned the cul-de-sac designs, which the Shorewood Ponds Board favored having
a through-street between Eureka Road to Seamans Drive, most residents on Seamans Drive preferred
a cul-de-sac that accessed Eureka Road to reduce cut-through traffic generated from Freeman Park
events. One letter-writer indicated a preference that the cul-de-sac should access Yellowstone so that
the traffic would be more inclined to travel to the Hwy 7/CR 41 intersection where there is a traffic
signal.
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:\Planning\Planning Files\Applications\2020 Cases\Stoddard Development PUD Concept\CAF Memo.docx
Density:
A couple of speakers indicated that they would prefer no change to the comprehensive plan to allow
more density and one speaker indicated she was in support of the increased density. One speaker
asked if this type of application would be a precedent to other applications. Staff responded to that
question that a PUD is a custom application for a specific piece of property and does not act as a
precedent for any other properties in the area. Staff add that any amendment to the Comprehensive
Plan carries the highest amount of City Council discretion.
Neighborhood design:
One speaker indicated that she would prefer a neighborhood with the units set further back from the
north property line and would be in favor of a development that prohibited sheds.
At their August 18, 2020 meeting, the Parks Commission unanimously voted to recommend the
following:
1.Park dedication in the form of fees versus land dedication
2.Private ownership of open space properties.
Financial or Budget Considerations: The application fees cover the cost of processing the request.
Developments are required to pay utility connection fees and park dedication. This developer has also
proposed to contribute funds to future infrastructure projects and affordable housing.
Recommendation / Action Requested: Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of
the request for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment from minimum density residential to low density
residential, a Rezoning to PUD and a PUD concept plan for the Villas at Shorewood Village for property
located north of Highway 7 between Eureka Road and Seamans Drive, subject to the findings and
conditions in the attached resolutions/ordinance.
Motion requires a simple majority to adopt.
Should the City Council determine another course of action is appropriate, staff recommend referring
the item back to staff to draft the appropriate findings-of-fact.
Next Steps and Timelines: If the City Council approves the request, staff would notify the adjacent
jurisdictions of the amendment as required by state statute. The applicant would need to submit a
PUD development and final stage plan application as well as a preliminary and final plat application.

Re: Stoddard Development: Review of the PUD Concept Plan for the Villas at
Shorewood Village
Attachments: Planning Commission Report
Attached is the staff report for the Planning Commission meeting dated August 4, 2020 related to
the proposed development and provided for you for additional background information,
including specific information about the property like lot size, topography wetlands, etc.
Background:
Related Code Sections:
Section 1201.25 Subd 6 of the zoning regulations requires the PUD concept plans to be referred
to the Parks Commission for review and comment. Although not stated, the Commissions input
would be most applicable to the 1) type of park dedication proposed (land versus cash) and 2)
ownership and maintenance of the open space proposed.
Comprehensive Plan Direction for Parks:
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan indicates that the City of Shorewood is well served by its existing
parks, with almost all neighborhoods within ½ to 1 mile of a park, with the exception of the
islands and the area south of Galpin Lake. As a result, the Comprehensive Plan directs that the
City should concentrate more on developing (and redeveloping) existing parks, with the
exception of acquiring more land directly adjacent to Freeman Park. Land may also be acquired
through other means as it becomes available through tax forfeiture, vacation of public rights-of-
way, donations or other means.
Impact for this development:
Park Dedication:
Park dedication would be required either in the form of land or fees. Assuming a development of
14 lots, that would be $91,000 for parks-related capital projects (assuming the current fee of
$6,500). The Comprehensive Plan doesn’t indicate any needed land that is separate from
Freeman Park in this area and consequently, staff support the applicant providing park dedication
in the form of fees. Should the commission recommend that land be dedicated, credit towards
the cash payments would need to be given and negotiated prior to the PUD development stage.
This is also consistent with the Capital Improvements Program which projects funding
deficiencies for park improvements in coming years.
Preservation of Open Space:
The applicant is requesting PUD flexibility to cluster 14 dwellings on the north side of the
property leaving much of the south side for stormwater features, wetlands and open space. There
is an additional wetland in the northwest corner of the site as well.
In the past, the City has acquired some wetlands and wetland buffers and other open space lots to
protect them from development. As time has passed, the City has acquired many such lots.
However, there are alternatives that do not require public management or maintenance.
Wetlands and buffers may be protected with conservation easements that can be placed over
them at the same time a subdivision is recorded. Additionally, open space may be protected
using homeowner association restrictions and PUD restrictions. These options would protect the
wetlands and open spaces as well, without requiring the liability for public expense for
maintenance of items like storm damage, tree disease, noxious weeds, illegal dumping, etc.
As a result, staff recommends the open space should be left under the ownership and
management of the HOA.
Action Requested:
Staff requests that the Commission review the information and determine if they agree or
disagree with staff conclusions on the following staff recommendations:
Park dedication as fee rather than land dedication
Wetlands and open spaces to remain restricted, but privately owned.
Commission recommendations would be forwarded to the City Council at their meeting on
August 24, 2020.

MEETING TYPE
City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item
Regular Meeting
Title / Subject: Variance to front setback
Location: 5840 Strawberry Lane
Applicant: Elizabeth Witchger and Gerry Trainor
Meeting Date: August 24, 2020
Prepared by: Marie Darling, Planning Director
Review Deadline: October 9, 2020
Attachments: Applicants Revised Narrative
Planning Memorandum from the August 4, 2020 Meeting
Correspondence Received
Resolutions
Background:
See attached planning memorandum for detailed background on this request.
At the August 4, 2020 meeting, the Planning Commission found the applicants had not meet
the variance criteria and did not show there were practical difficulties associated with their
application. The applicants and their architect were present at the meeting and spoke in favor
of the application. One neighbor requested to speak and spoke in favor of the request. Staff
also received two letters prior to the meeting. Since the meeting, the several more letters
were submitted supporting the application and are attached to this report.
Lack of practical difficulties:
The Planning Commission was concerned that the application did not meet the criteria. They
looked for issues with topography behind the home that would have forced the home closer to
the street and they talked about upcoming code amendments that would allow porches and
porticos to encroach into the setback regardless of the age of the home. Ultimately, they did
not see any circumstances that would meet the criteria, although they felt the request was
reasonable.
After the meeting, the applicants submitted a new narrative that expand on the points they
made at the meeting, specifically that the grade change between the entry and the driveway
(6.5 feet) constitutes a practical difficulty. They point out that an at-grade patio with the same
encroachment would be permitted without a variance, but the elevation change between the
driveway and the front door necessitates the variance.
Staff agree that this could constitute a unique circumstance for this property and satisfy the
requirement for practical difficulties.
Financial or Budget Considerations:
The application fees are adequate to cover the cost of
processing the request.
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:\Planning\Planning Files\Applications\2020 Cases\5840 Strawberry Lane Witchger VAR\CAF Memo.docx
Recommendation / Action Requested:
Staff included two resolutions for this application,
one denying the application based on the Planning Commission’s initial findings and another
approving the application based on the additional information submitted in the revised
narrative. In their motion, the City Council should identify which action they support.
Proposed motion:
Move to adopt the attached resolution (approving/denying) a variance for
Elizabeth Witchger and Gerry Trainor for property located at 5840 Strawberry Lane based on
the findings and conditions in the attached resolution.
Any action on this request would require a simple majority.
Next Steps and Timelines:
If the item is approved, the applicants could submit a building

Subject:5840 Strawberry Lane - Porch/Deck addition comments
Greetings, I live on Strawberry Lane and saw this notice come in the mail last week. I am in support of this project…I
think a homeowner adding some outdoor space on the frontside of their house is both attractive for home value and
neighborhood social involvement. They have plenty of space between the house and road to not obstruct any view, and
it gives the home owner another outdoor social space. All for it!
Thanks,

City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item
8B
Title/Subject: Timber Lane
Meeting Date: August 24, 2020
MEETING
Prepared By: Greg Lerud, City Administrator
TYPE
Reviewed By: Larry Brown, Director of Public Works; Marie Darling,
REGULAR
Director of Planning; Tim Keane, City Attorney
Attachments:
Map
Background:
The property owner at 175 Brentwood Avenue in Tonka Bay, has been
accessing Timber Lane in Shorewood for their personal use. Based on recent concerns
received from the Timber Lane neighborhood, and at the direction of City Council, staff has re-
examined the issue of closing access along the west side of Timber Lane from the curve to the
north end of the cul-de-sac ending at city limits.
The Brentwood property owner was denied an application for incidental use of right-of-way at
the October 24, 2016 meeting. Since that time, the property owner has occasionally, and
seasonally, accessed Timber Lane through the back of their property. According to information
from the Shorewood residents along Timber Lane, that use has grown year after year, and in
2020, that use has expanded considerably. In addition, the Tonka Bay resident posted a sign
that says, “Do not block the driveway.”
Because the property is in Tonka Bay, the number, size, and locations of driveways are
determined by City of Tonka Bay regulations. Our understanding is that the driveway that is
coming off Brentwood into this property is the only driveway access that is permitted by Tonka
Bay ordinances. Therefore, they are not permitted a second driveway regardless of the
jurisdiction’s right of way.
This item was originally on the July 27 agenda, but was removed and discussed in closed
session on August 10.
Options:
Staff has examined options to control access from properties in Tonka Bay on the
west side of Timberlane, including; installing boulders, installing a guard rail, and placing
concrete barriers. Boulders present some maintenance and safety issues, and a guard rail
system is cost prohibitive. Concrete, or Jersey barriers are on hand and represent a suitable
alternative. Another option could be a series of bollards at specific points along the right of way
to prevent access. This area was surveyed in 2016 to identify the edge of the right-of-way in the
cul-de-sac and the attached drawing shows the approximate location of where a barrier could
be placed, and the barrier would be placed as far as possible to the west edge of the Timber
Lane right-of-way. If the city council wanted to consider other barriers such as a cable barrier or
a more traditional guard rail system, council could direct staff to explore the cost of those
devices.
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
Recommended Action:
Based on the recommendation in the neighborhood petition
(attached) and direction from the Council, staff recommends installing bollards or Jersey
barriers along the west side of Timber Lane preventing access from properties in Tonka Bay.
Next Steps and Timeline:
The barriers could be installed within a week of City Council
action.

City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item
Title / Subject: Resolution Accepting Amended Proposal for Archeological Monitoring Services from
Blondo Consulting, LLC, for the Woodside Road and Woodside Lane Street
Reclamation and Watermain Extension Project, City Project 19-04
Meeting Date: August 24, 2020
Prepared by: Larry Brown, Director of Public Works
Reviewed by: Greg Lerud, City Administrator
Attachments: Proposal by Blondo and Associates, LLC
Background: At the previous City Council meeting, conducted on August 10 th, 2020, staff presented a
proposal for Archeological Monitoring Services from Blondo Consulting, LLC, for the Woodside Road and
Woodside Lane Street Reclamation and Waterman Project. Archeological monitoring is required to be
performed to meet the statutory protection requirements for Native American burial sites, for sites
known to have such resources within the scope of any improvements.
The previous proposal that had been provided was for an amount, not to exceed $141,437.50. Staff was
not comfortable with this number and asked the City Council to authorize $40,000 for these services,
such that the project could proceed and provide staff an opportunity to return to the archeologist and
reexamine the proposal. The City Council approved that request.
The proposal that had originally been drafted by Bondo Consutling, was based upon the assumption that
an archeologist would be on site during 100 percent of all the construction activities. This is not realistic
or necessary to meet the statutory requirements. Thus, staff asked that the proposal be recrafted for
activities where actual excavation was occurring that required monitoring. Attachment 1 is the revised
proposal that outlines activities where an archeologist is to be present, for an amount not to exceed
$84,352.50. The revised proposal appears to be in order, to meet the statutory requirements.
Financial Impact: Costs for inspection services have been included in the overall Capital Improvement
Program costs. Therefore, adequate funds exist for this expenditure.
Time Schedule: The construction project has already commenced, under previous authorizations.
Therefore, approval of this proposal will allow the project to continue.
Options: Staff recommends Council consider the following actions:
1.Approve the Resolution Accepting the Amended Proposal for Archeological Construction
Monitoring Services for the Woodside Road and Woodside Lane Street Reclamation and
Watermain Extension Project, City Project 19-04, not to exceed $84,352.50.
2.Provide staff alternative direction.
Mission Statement: The City of Shorewood is committed to providing residents qualit
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
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of Resolution Accepting the Proposal for Construction
Monitoring Services from Blondo Consulting, LLC, for the Woodside Road and Woodside Lane Street
Reclamation and Watermain Extension Project, City Project 19-04, not to exceed $84,352.50.

City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item
Title / Subject: Resolution Accepting Amended Proposal for Archeological Monitoring Services from
Blondo Consulting, LLC, for the Enchanted and Shady Island Street Reclamation
Project, City Project 18-11
Meeting Date: August 24, 2020
Prepared by: Larry Brown, Director of Public Works
Reviewed by: Greg Lerud, City Administrator
Attachments: Proposal by Blondo and Associates, LLC
Background: Similar to the previous item just considered by the City Council, at the previous City
th
Council meeting conducted on August 10, 2020, staff presented a proposal for Archeological
Monitoring Services from Blondo Consulting, LLC, for the Enchanted and Shady Island Street
Reclamation Project. The previous proposal that had been provided was for an amount, not to exceed
$99,262.50. Again, staff asked the City Council to authorize $40,000 for these services, such that the
project could proceed and provide staff an opportunity to return to the archeologist and reexamine the
proposal. The City Council approved that request.
Similarly, the proposal was recrafted for activities where actual excavation was occurring that required
monitoring. Attachment 1 is the revised proposal that outlines activities where an archeologist is to be
present, for an amount not to exceed $63,097.50. The revised proposal appears to be in order, to meet
the statutory requirements.
Financial Impact: Costs for inspection services have been included in the overall Capital Improvement
Program costs. Therefore, adequate funds exist for this expenditure.
Time Schedule: The construction project has already commenced, under previous authorizations.
Therefore, approval of this proposal will allow the project to continue.
Options: Staff recommends Council consider the following actions:
1.Approve the Resolution Accepting the Amended Proposal for Archeological Construction
Monitoring Services for the Enchanted and Shady Island Street Reclamation Project, City Project
18-11, not to exceed $63,097.50.
2.Provide staff alternative direction.

Mission Statement: The City of Shorewood is committed to providing residents quality public

Title/Subject: Water Access Charge Woodside/Kathleen
Meeting Date: August 24, 2020
MEETING
Prepared By: Greg Lerud, City Administrator
TYPE
Reviewed By: Joe Rigdon, Finance Director; Larry Brown, Director of
REGULAR
Public Works
Policy Question:
Should the City allow Water Access Charges for new connections on
Woodside Lane/Road and Kathleen Court to be assessed over a period of years?
Background:
The Woodside Lane/Road and Kathleen Court project has started, and
the city has received requests for water service information. The city’s present Water
Access Charge (WAC) is $10,000, which is typically paid in a lump sum where there is
new development. In 2018, however, the City Council permitted the WAC to be
assessed for residents who had city water available but were not connected. That
incentive program brought in 15 connections as well as 12 connections on Riviera, and
the city continues to receive calls to connect.
Financial or Budget Considerations:
WACs are included in the water fund during the
budget preparation process. While it is desirable to have the connection paid in full
immediately, it is also desirable for the long-term health of the water fund, that as many
connections as possible are made. If assessed, the WAC is ultimately collected to the
benefit of the water fund, and staff believes that the ability to pay the charge over a
period of time will encourage additional connections.
Options:
1. Require WACs be collected in full at time of connection.
2. Allow the WAC to be assessed, for a term and interest rate that the
council determines.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends offering the ability to residents on
Woodside Road/Lane and Kathleen Court to assess the WAC charge over a period not
to exceed five years and at an interest rate of five (5) percent. A condition of the
assessment is a requirement that the residents sign an assessment waiver agreement.
The council can amend any of the recommended terms of the assessment prior to
passage. Passage of the Resolution by simple majority is required to approve.
Next Steps and Timeline:
If the council allows the WAC to be paid by assessment,
staff will advise the residents on those streets.
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

1. Those residents along these three streets who connect to city water by June 1, 2021
are eligible to have the WAC collected in the form of a special assessment against the

assessment agreement, which will be recorded against the property.

Title/Subject: Encroachment agreement for 28100 Boulder
9B
Bridge Drive
Meeting Date: August 24, 2020
MEETING
TYPE
Prepared By: Greg Lerud, City Administrator
REGULAR
Reviewed By: Larry Brown, Director of Public Works; Tim Keane, City
Attorney
Attachments:
Encroachment agreement, easement, pictorial depiction, Resolution
Background:
The city is installing watermain by directionally drilling it in Woodside
Road, from Howard’s Point Road to the cul-de-sac of Woodside Road. That installation
by itself would result in a long dead end watermain. Council may recall, as an alternate
for the project, was to continue the line for creation of a looped system by making a
connection from the south end of the cul-de-sac on Woodside Road with the water main
in Boulder Bridge Drive. This alternate requires an easement from the property owner
of 28100 Boulder Bridge Drive, to be able to extend the watermain along the side yard
lot line of the parcel.
The subject property was platted at a time when drainage and utility easements were
not standard along the sides of properties. Therefore, the city needs an easement to
install the watermain across this property. While surveying for the plan preparation, it
was also discovered that a portion of the driveway and a fence for the property was
located within the Woodside Road right-of- way.
Staff negotiated with the property owner to obtain a watermain easement and resolve
the encroachment on city right-of-way, by agreeing to an exchange of an easement for
an encroachment agreement within the public right of way, allowing the fence and
driveway to remain.
Options:
1. Approve the encroachment agreement to obtain the easement.
2. Not approve the encroachment agreement and provide staff alternative direction
to obtain the easement.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends approving the encroachment agreement by
adopting the Resolution by simple majority, conditioned upon receipt of a signed
easement document.
Next Steps and Timeline:
If the Council approves, staff will record the easement and
encroachment agreement, and proceed with installing the water main.

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

Dear Mayor Zerby, Shorewood City Council and Staff,
As the current President of the Excelsior-
great need and urgency. Due to the COVID pandemic, we have been or
put on community events, which support 77% of our operational expenses. The inability to host our community events,
which many residents in the City of Shorewood have considered familial traditions over the years, resulted in us using
st
our financial reserves since March and leaving us with a runway of July 31, just 9 short days away from the writing of
this letter. Mayor Zerby, ar could adversely
affect our south lake community and leave an emotional hole in t,
sweat and tears to the organization.
My ask of you today is to consider us for the use of your CARES Act funding and at a minimum, providing us the funds
you had budgeted for the Lake Minnetonka 4 th of July Celebration this summer ($7,500). This in addition to the support
we are hoping to gain from other cities, businesses and individuals will allow us to continue to serve the community for
many years to come.
Thank you so much for all of the support you have given us over I welcome further conversation on
this topic. Please help save the Chamber and allow us to continue to serve the residents and businesses in Shorewood.
Sincerely,
Christian Tietz
