PARK COMMISSION REPORT - Snowmobile Ordinance - continued
.
Haugen said she has received several complaints at her home. She
lS-not happy with the idea of reviewing the Snowmobile Ordinance
in September which is too close to the season, she would prefer
that it be done now.
Park Commissioner Kpoi explained this was the reason she voted
agamst-ilie morron:----
Stover had two questions after reading the Park Commission min~
utes:-- Is the trail that heavily traveled that 50 snowmobiles
would pass within three hours? How can control be excercised?
Jeff Hanson, President of the "Southwest Trail Association", told
Stover that he-was-the one-who-counted the-50 snowmobiles~ He
was grooming the trail and counted them between 4:00 and 7:00 P.M.
He said one reason the trail is so heavily traveled is because
it is the only close access to Lake Minnetonka. The next closest
access involves traveling to St. Boni and coming down "Six Mile
Creek". He also said they are trying to meet with SLMPSD to try
to work out some type of control.
Bill Kullberg-Mound said he has put up 7 or 8 speed limit signs,
marked-the-corridor, and put up rope and reflector tape to control
traffic in the complaintant's area. He also said he plans to
patrol the area himself.
Mike Jurgeons of Shorewood said he and a friend went out to the
trail-on-Friday-from-approximately 3:00 to 6:00 P.M. and clocked
speed using two-way radios. Most snowmobiles went 25 m.p.h. or
less, but there were a few "hot-doggers".
Bill Kullberg said the trails are more heavily used before the
Iake-freezes~
Gordon Christiansen - 26190 Birch Bluff Road said this is a "city/
country" area and thats why people like to live in Shorewood.
They can enjoy the outside sports. He is impressed by the Clubs
and hopes the trail will be allowed to remain.
John Arnst-Teal Circle repeated his complaint, referring to 3:00
A.M. traffic and the noise. He said its like someone is having
a party next door.
Mayor Rascop asked Mr. Arnst how far away he is from the lake
entrance~~e answered about 60 feet.
~E~_~E~st said the Ordinance is vague and the police say they can't
enforce it. He referred to Ordinance 59 Subd. 5 "At a rate of
speed greater than reasonable or proper under all the surrounding
circumstances" and Subd. 9 "In a manner so as to create a loud,
unnecessary or unusual noise which annoys or !nteE!~Ees_wit~_!~~
peace and quiet of other persons."

PARK COMMISSION REPORT - Snowmobile Ordinance - continued
Attorney Froberg referred to Ordinance 97, an amendment to
Ordlnance-5~suggesting that in Subdivision 5 a period be
placed after 20 m.p.h., making it clearer that 20 m.p.h.
is the top speed-allowed in the entire City.
Jeff Hanson said Mr. Arnst's house is the closest house to the
traIl~-that they realize he has a problem, and have done every-
thing in their power to correct it. Haugen asked if they had
just done something about the problem~He-said as soon as they
became aware of the problem they acted upon it. Haugen said
she had been informed that the Snowmobile Club has-been told
about this problem each year for the last 3 years. Jeff Hanson
said the Club has not been notified of the problem untll-thIs-year.
He also said the new law reads 10 m.p.h. on streets, 35 m.p.h.
on trails. He thought if the trails were posted at 20 m.p.h.
it might solve the problem.
Gagne's motion, seconded by Stover, was to keep the trail open
for now, but to amend the Ordinance to read 10 m.p.h. on streets
and 20 m.p,.h. maximum speed on trails and elsewhere in the City,
no motorized vehicles in parks, and that the Ordinance be reviewed
in September by the Park Commission. Motion carried by Roll Call
Vote - 4 ayes.
.
Stover asked if the hours could be restricted on the Railroad
Corridor only. Staff was directed to prepare the Ordinance
Amendment and bring before the Park Commission for recommendation
with the above provision added by Stover.
"New Park" named "Silverwood Park"
RESOLUTION NO. 1-86
Gagne moved, Stover seconded, to name the new park in the southeast
section of the City, off Covington Road, "Silverwood Park".
Motion carried by Roll Call Vote - 4 ayes.
Acceptance of Pedestrian Access to
SIlver-lake-----------------------
RESOLUTION NO. 2-86
Gagne moved, Stover seconded, to accept Near Mountain's offer
of a 20' easement to Silver Lake (this easement runs across
Silver Ridge property) to be used for Park purposes as a pedestrian
access to Silver Lake. Motion carried by Roll Call Vote - 4 ayes.
.
~Epr~~al_of ~ar~_~~!~~!~~_~~~~~~~~~

PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
Gene Rosenthal - 20095 Excelsior Blvd
-----------5405st:-A:lbansBay Road
_53~5 S~~!~~~~_Ba~Roa~
.
Gene Rosenthal and Dick larsen and Mike Wirtanen of Wirtanen, Clark
and Larsen, Architects were present to propose a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment. They want to change to zoning from the current zoning
of R-2A (single and two family residential) to R-C (Residential
Commercial). They are proposing 4-two story professional office
buildings with balconies and residential character to rrG in with
the neighborhood. The buildings would be from 9,000 to 14,000
square feet in size. They feel that a professional office building
would have the following advantages over duplexes:
access onto Highway 7 instead of generattng:more traffic problems
on Excelsior Blvd.
better construction quality and better upkeep
less activity - 8:00-5:00 and no week ends
adults only
better and more attractive buffer to Highway 7
better landspap~ng
low profile lighting
all traffic in front of buildings
.
less likely to decrease neighborhood property values, thus
benefi ting. taxpayers.

PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT - Rosenthal - continued
Mr. Rosenthal asked Planner Nielsen if he would need the neighbor's
approval to build duplexes. Planner Nielsen said no, but he would
need subdivision approval.
Mr. Rosenthal presented a letter to the Council from Ellie Schwaba,
a Minnetonka Real Estate Broker, stating her opinion on a townhome
development vs. an office complex in the proposed location. She
responded:
regarding a professional office building.......
the value of homes along Excelsior Blvd. should not change if there
is no significant change in traffic patterns throughout the
neighborhood, a buffer is provided between the residential and
commercial area, and the composition of the neighborhood is not
broken up. She felt Rosenthal's proposal m~t these requirements.
regarding townhouse development.......
.
in developing townhomes he would be looking at an access directly
onto Excelsior Blvd (necessary for residences) which would mean
a greater volume of traffic into the neighborhood. A lower
quabi"ty--ofconstructionwGuld have to be used compared to what
would be used for offices. A possible decline in future upkeep
depending on ownership would be possible with townhomes. There
would be less of a visual screen required for townhomes and a
lower appraised value would be placed on townhomes as compared
to the surrounding homes.
In conclusion it was her opinion that the neighborhood along Excel-
sior Blvd. would be better off having a quality office complex in
the proposed development area than a townhome development.
Mr. Rosenthal said he'd been denied approval by the Planning Com-
mission because the neighborhood had been promised that no Commercial
Development would go in north of Highway 7 across from Trivesco.
He asked the City Clerk for a copy of the minutes specifying this
and she was unable to find anything in writing. He feels that he
should be allowed the same prllivileges as Trivesco.
He said the whole plan is based on whether or not an interchange onto
Highway 7 providing access both east and west will be possible.
He also mentioned that he is aware of the fact that they
cannot create any additional runoff according to Minnehaha Watershed.
Water will be provided by a private well, and there will be a control
structure to both meter water and filter out solid materials.

PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT - Rosenthal - continued
----------------------------------------------
Mayor Rascop asked if:
1. a market study had been done?
2. a traffic study had been done?
3. Metro Waste Control had been contacted regarding sewer
connection?
Rosenthal said no, he hadn't realized that they were requested,
but that they could be done.
Stover pointed out that the Planning Commission had spent a great
deal of time at two meetings discussing traffic, sewer, drainage,
etc" and a market study had been requested at both of these
meetings. Mayor Rascop pointed out the September 26th Planning
Commission minutes requesting a traffic study.
Several of the neighbors, Peter Boyer, Todd Hendries, Jim Waldo,
Jim Burkeholder, Larry Buesgens and others, were present to again
voice their concerns regarding the proposed project.
.
Two new issues mentioned were the fear of having the church parking
lot used as access to Excelsior Blvd and how traffic would be limited
on St. Albans's Bay Road.
Engineer Norton pointed out that sewer will be available, that the
storm sewer runoff would have to be approved by Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District, and that regarding fire protection, they may
want to seek input from the Fire Marshall, Mark Kuhnly.
Haugen asked if there would be basements and was told no, they
would be two story buildings on slabs.
Planner Nielsen pointed out that the Radde property, the westerly
most parcel, does exist as two parcels.
Gagne mentioned that it could take months or longer to decide on
the intersection.
Gagne also pointed out to the neighbors that Councils do change
and that their opinions and decisions could change with them
especially with regards to commercial development in this area.
Haugen said she finds it hard to change the zoning when the two
studies requested were not provided.
.
Stover moved, Shaw seconded, that the Comprehensive Plan not be
changed and that the City Attorney draw a finding of facts
Resolution. Motion for denial carried by Roll Call Vote - 5 ayes.

COVINGTON VINE RIDGE FINAL PLAT
Planner Nielsen said a letter of credit for over $800,000 to
cover Street and Utility Works has been received.
'.... ........... ......J....L J
Gagne moved, Haugen seconded, to dir~ct staff to draw a resolution
approving the Final Plat and Development Agreement, to be approved, if
possible, at the meeting of January 27, and to approve the issuance
of one (1) building permit. Motion carried by Roll Call Vote-5 ayes.
Engineer Norton pointed out that sometime in the future Covington
Road will be cut down. Covington Vine Ridge said this would have
little effect on their project. It was suggested that the fact
that this will be done and that Covington Vine Ridge is aware of it,
be put into the Development Agreement.
SIMPLE SUBDIVISION
~~~EY 2~~~lIIv~n-~265 Mi!l S!.
RESOLUTION NO. 4-86
Mr. O'Sullivan was present to request a simple subdivision of his
property into 2 lots; Lot A, 45,302 square feet, 163'x 265', with
-ape-nden--c:it,---an4-bot-B, 48,352 square feet, 155' x 357', the
lot with the existing house on it.
.
The location of the driveway also came up for discussion. Planner
Nielsen asked that the new lot have adequate turnaround. Mr.
O'Sullivan agreed to this. Landscaping, a buffer, and the placement
of the building were all suggested as various ways to prevent
people from driving down Apple Road and coming across to land on
his property.
Shaw moved, Gagne seconded, to approve the Simple Subdivision
contingent upon the following Planner's recommendations:
.
1. The applicant must submit an up-to-date title opinion for the
City Attorney's review and approval.
2. New legal descriptions for the two lots must be submitted for
inclusion in the Council's resolution.
3. The request should be subject to review and approval by the
Hennepin County Engineer.
4. The applicant must provide drainage and utility easements
10' on each side of each side and rear lot line.
5. Prior to release of the resolution approving the request, the
applicant must pay the $500 park dedication fee (credit is
given for the lot with the house on it).
6. The applicant must record the division with Hennepin County
within 30 days of the receipt of the resolution. Failure to
do so will void the City's approval.
Motion carried by Roll Call Vote - 5 ayes.

CHRISTMAS LAKE ACCESS DISCUSSION
Charles Dayton, Attorney for the Christmas Lake Association,
appeared before the Council requesting that they sign a proposed
agreement between the Department of Natural Resources, The City
of Shorewood, and the Christmas Lake Association. He said there is
a timing problem because the agreement must be signed by Thursday,
January 16th, so that the condemnation on the Brooks property will
be dismissed. He said if the City does not approve the plans by
May 1st, 1986, the property will be given to the State as of that
date. He said the roadway r.o.w. is in the process of being resolved
with Interstudy, if the easement is not obtained, the agreement will
fail.
Stover asked Attorney Froberg if the access would be a park? He
said yes, under all park rules and regulations.
Carol Anderson said it doesn't mention maintenance of the road in
the agreement. Her husband is a doctor and needs access.
Stover asked if the State has anything to say about the maintenance
level, and was told maintenance would be on the same level as other
City streets.
.
Mr. Rosen, Mrs. Brook's Attorney, said the proposed piece of land
is landlocked, no easement has been granted and the possibility may
not even exist. He said the Attorney General had stated that the
agreement will not be signed unless Interstudy presents proof pro-
viding easement.
Jean McGee of Interstudy said the Board is considering the easement
but no meeting is scheduled before January 16th.
The Council asked Attorney Froberg's opinion. He said he was com-
pelled to caution them against signing the agreement. He felt it
was premature and improper'at this time. He felt the Homeowners
could deal directly with the State without involving the City. The
City could review the State plans and it would be operated and
regulated by the State.
Shaw said if the City is involved they can at least speak on the
issues, which is better than being an innocent victim.
Attorney Froberg said no matter who owns it, the State will operate
it the way they want to.
Shaw said if it is under City rule, we can deal with our own Police
Department.

CHRISTMAS LAKE ACCESS DISCUSSION - continued
Attorney Rosen, Mrs. Brook's Attorney, asked why the City is
involved? Why not just give the land to the State and resolve the
issue. Mrs. Brooks has had it with her property being tied up and
would like to see the issue resolved, one way or the other.
Dr. James has supported the agreement because - for example -
he prefers a 10:00 p.m. to a 12:00 p.m. curfew - her prefers
City control.
Robert Fayfield prefers to give the property to the City.
Mayor Rascop informed the citizens he supports their action.
Stover moved, Gagne seconded for purposes of discussion, that the
Mayor is authorized to sign the agreement in substantially the
present form, with such changes and adjustments as may be agreed
to by the parties, without changes which would materially affect the
rights and obligations of the City. Motion carried by Roll Call
Vote - 4 ayes - 1 nay (Haugen)
ATTORNEY'S REPORT
.
Naegele Litigation
Attorney Froberg received a call from Naegele's Attorney's
January 13, 1986 promising an answer by tomorrow (today). None
has been received.
~~~!!~ Prop~rt;z
Attorney Froberg talked to Murfin's Attorney and informed him the
City had determined to remove the pipe up to the service, that
the Abstract is being returned, and that the sale is off.
He also met with the Fire Marshall. The tank violations are a
misdemeanor, because Mr. Murfin is in another state and not a
resident of Minnesota, he can not be served under a criminal
action unless he is extradited. The City can pursue a Civil
Action, placing the property in litigation. No one would want
to by a piece of property that is in litigation.
Stover asked if action should be taken against Murfin or I.C.O.
Attorney Froberg said both.
Haugen asked if it would be to the City's advantage to do this?
Froberg said yes.
.
Haugen moved, Gagne seconded, that the City Attorney, City
Administrator, and Mayor draft a letter to Mr. Murfin stating if
the tanks are not removed soon, the City will take action. The
letter to be signed by Mayor Rascop. Motion carried unanimously.

ENGINEER'S REPORT
St~!~~Rep~~!_=_So~!~ea~!_~~ea_~runk_~ater_~;Z~!~~
Engineer Norton presented visual aids showing watermain put in
as part of the Waterford project, watermain put in as part of the
Covington Vine Ridge project, the point where it is hooked into
Minnetonka water, the proposed continuation of the Waterford and
Covington Vine Ridge lines, forming a loop, and the proposed
future water line running fro~ the proposed tower site included
in the comprehensive water report and where we are at currently
with the watermain, and the proposed location of the well,
pumphouse, and reservior. He said if we were closer to the pro-
posed tower site it could be that we could go ahead with the
pumphouse without the need of hydropneumatic tanks. We are not close
enough, the proposed line at this time would go through undeveloped
properties. The tower itself would add probably half a million
dollars.
Mayor Rascop asked what the savings would be by not having the
pressure tank if the tower was put in right away? Would it be a
couple years interest on half a million dollars?
.
Engineer Norton said he doesn't have an answer to that right now,
the cost of the tank, process piping and process work, probably
in the $50,000 range.
Stover asked what Engineer Norton's projection is on how long
it will be before the tower will be in existence.
Engineer Norton said the tower site and development hinge on mar-
keting the property and the corridor study, probably 3-5 wears.
Stover asked where the tower is to be located.
Engineer Norton said that the location was chosen in the
Comprehensive Water Plan before Trivesco ever came into existence.
The location is on State Park property close to the cemetary.
This ~its was chosen because it was the highest area.
Rascop asked if there is an alternative site.
Engineer Norton said they had talked to Trivesco about putting
it on a piece of property that is not used when the detached
frontage road is brought into the collector street. The tower
would have to be taller but the cost would not be significant
when you are talking about half a million dollars for the tower.
.
To get to the tower site now, easements would have to acquired
and a water line run over several hundred feet of undeveloped
property that is not yet graded.

~~QINEE~~~_~~~OR~_- S~ut~eas!~Area~~~nk_~at~~_Sy~!~~_=~on!!~~ed
Rascop asked Administrator Vogt to check with bonding consultants
to see what 5 years interest on half a million dollars would be.
Engineer Norton said he has split the deepwell project into three
phases:
1. Deepwell
2. Pumphouse and reservior basin
3. Watermain
This would mean 3 separate contacts and three separate contactors.
The schedule for approval date and authorization for bids would
be:
Ja~uarY_~Ith_Co~ncil Me~ti~g - Pumphouse and reservior
~ebr~ar~_lOth_Counci~~~et!~g - Deep well
Watermain
.
Rascop asked where we are in the development contract with
Near Mountain? Planner Nielsen said they are submitting their
final plan so they can be presented at the February 10th Council
meeting.
Engineer Norton showed plans for a 32' x 50' pumphouse that would
be located in "Silverwood Park". This building left some storage
space for park use. He showed a couple architectual drawings, a
"Georgian" style - $20,000 extra, and a "Colonial" style - $35,000
extra.
Rascop said interest rates are good right now, and it might be a
good time to do things.
The 300,000 gallon reservior will cost about 80~ a gallon or
$240,000.
A treatment tank may be necessary at some time in the future.
This would be similar to the other tank but would have four
compartments.
A knockout panel could be put in the building so a wall could be
pulled out in case a tank had to be changed.
Engineer Norton said the feasibility report cost is $917,000.
.
The Council asked him to figure the cost of running the watermain
and putting up the tower and pumphouse without using the hydro-
pneumatic tank.

ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
Task Force on Lake Minnetonka Update
The DNR indicated that they had all the sites chosen. All the
sites except one, Orchard Park site in Tonka Bay, were rated
poor, and the Orchard Park site was rated fair. Dan has
written a letter regarding the Shorewood sites. He felt that
the main reason for the meeting was to see if any of the Cities
had any other sites to offer, none did.

Blood Litigation
The City has been repaid and the Blood property has been sold.
SLMPSD/Shorewood Public Works Department - Combining of Radio Bands
.
Administrator Vogt said that Public Works Director Zdrazil would
like to have SLMPSD on their radio band, it is to the City's
advantage during snow storms.
Mayor Rascop said it would also save the City money, as there
is now a charge for messages going through the tower.
Attorney Froberg said if Shorewood's license has sufficient
mobiles licensed it would not be a problem. Shorewood has 23
licensed and is using 6..
Council asked Administrator Vogt to hold off on this for a short
period of time.

Wat~E!~E~ Fatal!!~
Papers were served late this afternoon (1/13/86) on the lawsuit
concerning a fatality that occurred in December of 1984.
Attorney Froberg said we will contact our insurance carrier,

MAYOR'S REPORT
Task Force on Lake Minnetonka Access
Our primary Met Council person, Arnie Stefferud,will no longer
be handling the Task Force. The Mayor will know more after the
next meeting.
.
Police Buil~in~
Gagne reported that he had attended the meeting, and that the
first order of the day had been the announcement that as long
as Shorewood is not involved at this time, Excelsior will be
the Chairman and Greenwood will be the Vice-Chairman.
He referred to the price of the building, asking if the original
quote for the building was not $250,000 to $300,000? He said
it is now being said it will lucky if the cost can be held at
$400,000. Stover asked if this included the land and was told no.
He said Shorewood's list of requests had been presented and no
replies have been received yet.
Rascop said the way it is now set up Shorewood will pay ~ the
cost of the Police buil@ing and still only have t the vote.
Shaw said the other cities are not giving Shorewood any courtesy
or respect. There is no longer the "Joint Powers", it is only
a contract.
Haugen said it has been Shorewood's dream for years to have a
four-city merger. Now there is nothing but distrust. The
other cit~es do not even have the courtesy to reply. If
they want us to continue, they will have to give us what we need.
.
Stover said we cannot have a major portion of our budget out of
our control. She suggested either having a 5 year renewable
contract or a vote to coincide with our contribut4~n~
None of the Council are unhappy with the Police Department, only
the way things are being handled.
