Mr. Moore was present to express his aggravation with his neighbors in connection with the sale and development of his property for the Galpin Lake Woods Development. He has once again had his driveway entrance barricaded by his neighbors. He called the police and they could not do anything because it is a civil matter. He feels that due process has been lost and does not understand how they are able to barricade without legal process. Mr. Moore asked Attorney Froberg how they can barricade a public road. Attorney Froberg stated that the portion in question is private and that Mr. Moore could create a new access off of Bracketts Road. Mr. Moore's concern is -1- MINUTES - MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1988 PAGE 2 . MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR Richard Moore - Bracketts Road Dispute - Continued that his neighbors can block off his driveway.

The police check has been completed and approved, insurance received and contract signed by Thomas C. Bartsh. Brancel moved, seconded by Haugen to approve the contract with the Tonka Football Association. Motion carried - 5 ayes. . SHADY ISLAND BRIDGE DISCUSSION Engineer Norton began the discussion by reviewing the six alternates received at the August 22, Council meeting. He spoke to the County Engineers and they have questioned the need for a bridge. The bridge was originally built in 1944 with a 30 year life expec- tancy. The County will do an inspection after the repairs are completed to set weight restrictions. They will not guarantee what weight limits they will place on it. He discussed the alternatives with the DNR and was told that they would not allow the filling in of the bridge area even the culvert proposal would need various agencies approv- als. A temporary by-pass road would be allowed during construction. Jack Hansen, secretary and spokesman for the Shady Island Association submitted a petition unanimously supporting a request for a new span bridge for Shady Island. He asked that the City consider the residents concerns. Engineer Norton stated that the new bridge will cost between $125,000.00 and $150,000.00, demolition at $20,000.00 and $25,000.00 for a temporary by-pass road. A temporary road could be put in this fall in order to allow access for plowing, oil delivery school bus, etc. Funding sources could then be determined. Haugen moved, seconded by Gagne to table further discussion until agenda item number 13. Motion carried - 5 ayes. . -2- MINUTES - MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1988 PAGE 3 .

SIMPLE SUBDIVISION AND COMBINATION RESOLUTION 100-88 26175 and 26265 BIRCH BLUFF ROAD - Continue Haugen moved, seconded by Brancel to approve the simple subdivision and combination subject to receipt of a current survey and up to date title opinion and subject to the Planners recommendation listed on his September 1, 1988 report. Motion carried - 5 ayes by Roll Call Vote. NEAR MOUNTAIN P.U.D. AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT - REDUCING SIDE YARD SETBACKS ON LAKE SHORE RESOLUTION 94-88 Mike Pflaum requested a reduction in side yard setbacks for lake shore lots in order to allow access for garages without having to move the house building pads back as far as 70 feet. Haugen expressed con- cern for protection of trees and shrubs along the lakeshore. Mike Pflaum felt the best protection of this was due to inspections and controls required by Nielsen. He stated that the average distance between structures are between 47-65 feet and the reduction of side yards would not create larger dwellings. Stover stated that shore land side yard set backs have been changed since this agreement was made. . Gagne moved, seconded by Brancel to amend the P.U.D. and development agreement to meet the current ordinance side back of 30 feet with no side less than 10 feet. Motion carried - 5 ayes by Roll Call Vote. COVINGTON VINE RIDGE P.U.D.- DEVELOPMENT RESOLmTTQN 95-88 AGREEMENT-REDUCTION IN REAR YARD SETBACKS Mr. Mark Roholt was present to request an amendment to the P.U.D. and development agreement to change the rear yard setback from 40 to 35. The issue appeared when Mr. Roholt was stopped from adding a deck without a permit which encroached into the 40' setback area. The Planning Commission recommended allowing the 35 feet setback for decks only, to include a height maximum of 42 feet on railings. Nielsen stated that the existing lot sizes are more that of the R1D areas and supports the reduction of rear yard set backs to 35 feet for all structures. Stover moved, seconded by Haugen to pass a resolution amendment to the development agreement to establish a 35 feet rear yard set back for all structures within the Covington Vine Ridge P.U.D. Motion carried - 5 ayes by Roll Call Vote. PRELIMINARY PLAT/FINAL PLAT APPROVED DRIVE-UP FACILITY/CONVENIENCE FOOD C.U.P. MARCUS DEVELOPMENT- 24365 SMITHTOWN ROAD RESOLUTION 96-88 . Stover stated that the Planning Commission held a public hearing to hear a request from Marcus Development Corp for a C.U.P. for a drive up convenience operation and preliminary plat approval. There was -4- MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 12, 1988 PAGE 5 . PRELIMINARY PLAT FINAL PLAT APPROVED DRIVE-UP FACILITY/CONVENIENCE FOOD C.U.P.

Stover moved, seconded by Haugen to approve the preliminary and final plat subject to a North boundary correction on plat and omitting the 17 feet easement on the west line as Country Club Road has a 66 feet right-of-way. Motion carried - 5 ayes by Roll Call Vote. TRACEY ADDITION - PRELIMINARY PLAT RESOLUTION 97-88 Mr. Ron Tracey was present to make his request for preliminary plat approval to divide his property into two lots. Mr. Tracey does object to the Planner1s recommendation that asks that the existing garage that encroaches on the right-of-way of Covington Road be re- moved. He referred to the history of the dwelling which has a living area below the garage. The building is more of a carriage house. The neighbors support his request as does the new purchasers of the home. Haugen asked if it could remain until the City would widen the road. Attorney Froberg advised that this is the proper time to ask for removal of this structure. The issue of safety was discussed, backing out onto the road or possibly into the garage. Haugen moved, seconded by Brancel to approve the preliminary plat subject to the Planner's recommendations of his August 31, 1988 staff report, omitting item number 4 - removal of the garage and to direct the Attorney to draw an agreement to be recorded with the plat listing a restrictive convenant that would require the re- moval of the garage if the City was to widen the road. Motion carried - 5 ayes by Roll Call Vote. . -5- . . .

Motion carried - 5 ayes. GRADING PERMIT - SWEETWATER AT NEAR MOUNTAIN 3rd ADDITION Mike Pflaum requested a grading permit for Sweetwater 3rd Addition prior to his final plat approval, which is scheduled for the next Council meeting. This will enable them to complete a street connec- tion prior to winter. The Engineer would like to review and clarify some minor changes with Lundgren's Engineer. Gagne moved, seconded by Brancel to approve the grading permit sub- ject to the Engineer's review. Motion carried - 5 ayes. GLEN ROAD/COUNTY ROAD 19 DRAINAGE PROJECT DISCUSSION A meeting has been scheduled with Tonka Bay on October 4th, at 7:00 P.M. to discuss the project further. Gagne does not feel that Tonka Bay will participate in this project at this time. They feel their pipe to the lake could handle a lot of run off. The Shorewood Place Apartments wants a large ponding area on their site. Haugen would like to see a good project in Shorewood completed with possible participation from Tonka Bay later. Engineer Norton does feel the City could proceed with their own drainage project and respond to its commitment to the affected residents. Norton suggested legally identifying the owners of the properties needed for easement for ponding and clearing. Gagne moved, seconded by Brancel to direct the staff to draw up a time frame, determine legal descriptions of needed easements and contact owners to acquire easements. Motion carried - 5 ayes. CONTINUATION: SHADY ISLAND BRIDGE DISCUSSION Engineer Norton estimated a total bridge replacement cost of $200,000.00.

No response was received so they were notified that the City would apply it against their bond. No response was received again, so the City is proceeding to collect against their bond at this time. Shorewood/Minnetrista Challenge of Constitutionality of Right of Condemnation Resolution 98~88 Shorewood has joined Minnetrista in their action as a plaintiff in challenging constitutionality of a Minnesota law giving the Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District the right to condemn property for park use. The estimated cost of this action could be less than $500. Brancel moved, seconded by Haugen to adopt the resolution and amend it by adding the Chapter and Section of the Minnesota Law.

Motion carried - 5 ayes by Roll Call Vote. Administrative Reports Pressure Reduction Valve Discussion Letters were sent to the property owners in the S.E. Area ex- plaining the need to have pressure reduction valves installed prior to the change over to the elevated water tower. Many calls have been received questioning this request and who should pay for it. . Mike Pflaum was present to express his concern for the position he has been placed in by not being notified or aware of the need for this valve. Mayor Rascop asked that a letter be sent to the residents informing them of the Council's discussion to wait until the tower was ready before notifying the owners of the need for the valve. The valves would reduce to much pressure on the old system if installed earlier. Permits and PRV's are available at City Hall and should be in- stalled by September 30, 1988. Mr. Pflaum may have the PRV's installed for his buyers and asked the City if they would waive the inspection fee. The Council felt the inspection was needed for protection of the residents and the City should be paid for by the party needing the inspection. Budget Meeting Date Changed Administrator Vogt has requested that the budget meeting be rescheduled from September 19 to September 20, 1988 at 7:30 P.M., due to a conflict. Haugen moved, seconded by Stover to approve the change for the budget meeting. Motion carried- 5 ayes.

No. 4219 DATE August 23, 1988 The following was presented to the Shorewood City Council at the meeting on August 22, 1988. Bob Kilgore, P.E. from our Structural Department assisted and answered questions. The presentation follows: .previOuslY OSH was authorized to proceed with plans and specifications for repair of the Shady Island Bridge including new concrete abutments utilizing the existing pilings. In our investigation we have found detailed information and data such as the original bridge plans which has lead back to the Council for further direction. Prior to our earlier recommendations and alternatives for bridge repair, Hennepin County had not completed their inspection report. After reviewing this report and consulting with Tenner Tangen, P.E., the Bridge Department Engineer who had inspected the bridge and written the report, we had to change the direction of our investigation of the project. The following points were brought out in our research: 1. Tenner Tangen/s views are: "Why do you even need the bridge? Demolish it and fill it in." 2. Hennepin County is counting the months until they no longer have juris- diction over the bridge. This will happen when Shorewood reaches an official population of 5,000, then the bridge will be Shorewood's responsibility, but will qualify for the Federal Aid process and State inspection. 3. Hennepin County has set the bridge life at 10 years no matter what repair we do, short of building a new bridge. The reason is that the existing pilings are approximately 20 feet long with 10 feet of bury resulting in the bridge essentially floating on the soft lake bottom. Also, the bridge was built in 1944 and should have had a 30 year life. 1944 to 1988 is 44 years. . . ' . Page Two Memo Regarding Renovation of Shady Island Bridge Shorewood, Minnesota August 23, 1988 4. After we repair the bridge in some fashion, Hennepin County will test the bridge and establish a weight limit with no guarantee of what that weight limit will be. Also, to test the bridge now would be a duplication of effort and costs. 5. Any repair process using the existing pilings is just a short term solu- tion to the problem and we cannot guarantee the bridge will not require additional maintenance prior to the 10 year life limit set by the County. We are looking for a good engineering and economic solution to correct the bridge situation. To do this, the ultimate question "Does the City want a bridge?" needs to be answered, and, if the answer is yes, what type? Consequently we have arrived at 6 alternatives, including those previously dis- cussed which could be enacted to remedy the situation. All possess many advantages and disadvantages and raise many questions. . We will present the alernatives, each with its own cost estimate, advantages and disadvantages. From this we hope to arrive at a somewhat more streamlined direction in which to proceed. All the costs mentioned are very rough construction costs not including engineering and administration. ALTERNATIVE NO.1: Do nothing and wait for federal ai~ approval. A. COST ESTIMATE: Nothing now. B. ADVANTAGES: 1. No cost now. 2. Have federal aid to pay for repair later. C. DISADVANTAGES: . 1. Hennepin County wants something done now. 2. Could wait 1 - 10 years for federal aid and will not know when. 3. logistics of transportation: a. Snow plow Island this winter with pick-up. b. School buses cannot cross bridge. <Have notified Mound-Westonka schools.) c. Garbage pick-up, etc. We do not recommend this alternative. . Page Three Memo Regarding Renovation of Shady Island Bridge Shorewood, Minnesota August 23, 1988 ALTERNATIVE NO.2: Demolish bridge and fill in gap creating a peninsula - no bridQe. A. COST ESTIMATE: $50,000 - $60,000. B. ADVANTAGES: 1. little maintenance in the future. 2. low initial cost. . C. 3. Will not have another administrative problem in the future of building, replacing, or repairing a bridge. 4. Will shut down the access to the island for a small amount of time . (2-3 weeks) DISADVANTAGES: 1. We do not know if we can get approval from agencies such as the DNR, ACOE, watershed districts, etc. 2. Will not have access for 2-3 weeks (pedestrian perhaps). 3. Is an EIS or EIW required? ALTERNATIVE NO.3: Demolish bridge and install a culvert or "Con Span" type bridge. A. COST ESTIMATE: $70,000* + cost of pilings, if required, + cost of temporary bypass of $20 - $30,000.. *Hennepin County demolition estimate of $25,000 is included. B. ADVANTAGES: 1. Moderately low cost now. 2. long term solution. Should have 30 year life. 3. low maintenance costs in future. . 4. Possibly could build temporary bypass resulting in no down access time. 5. With culvert option, engineering costs are lower with a plan in hand. . Page Four Memo Regarding Renovation of Shady Island Bridge Shorewood, Minnesota August 23, 1988 C. DISADVANTAGES: 1. Need agency approval. 2. Need agency approval for bypass. 3. Without bypass, we would shut down access for 1-2 months. 4. lead time required for agency approval could be lengthy (3-4 months). ALTERNATIVE NO.4: Basic timber cap and abutment repair. A. COST ESTIMATE: $40,000 - $50,000. B. ADVANTAGES: . 1. low initial cost. 2. Wait for federal aid to pay for repair. 3. Short down time for access (-2 weeks). C. DISADVANTAGES: 1. Shut down bridge for 2 weeks. Pedestrian traffic only. 2. Only a short term repair, perhaps for the 10 year life mentioned by the County. 3. Might have to repair bridge again prior to 10 year 1 ife (short piles). 4. Hennepin County will rate the bridge after repair complete, which is uncertain. s. long wait for state and federal aid for bridge replacement. 6. More administration inconvenience within 10 year span. ALTERNATIVE NO.5: Repair with new concrete abutments. . A. COST ESTIMATE: $65,000 - $70,000. . . .page Five Memo Regarding Renovation of Shady Island Bridge Shorewood, Minnesota August 23, 1988 B. ADVANTAGES: 1. A more thorough repair than basic timber cap repair. 2. Moderately low initial cost. . C. DISADVANTAGES: 1. Utilizing existing short piles makes this repair unreliable. Might have to repair again within 10 year life. 2. Administration inconvenience within 10 years. ALTERNATIVE NO.6: Construct new timber bridge or prestressed concrete bridge. A. COST ESTIMATE: $125,000 - $150,000. ADVANTAGES: . B. 1. long term fix. 2. Aesthetics. Perhaps the people on the island would want this. 3. Possibly a temporary bypass allowing access during installation. C. DISADVANTAGES: 1. High initial cost. 2. No federal aid currently. 3. long wait for federal aid. low priority. 4. Down time for new bridge is 3-4 months. 5. With bypass, need agency approval. 6. Need to maintain at moderate cost within life of approximately 30 years. . The Council asked about and discussed boat traffic under the bridge. It was deter- mined that the existing bridge only allows access to small row boats, fishing boats or canoes. Con Span alternative also would allow this. Also, it is not that much further around island. They liked the Con Span alternative. ~ .. . t' \ ~ - .age Six Memo Regarding Renovation of Shady Island Bridge Shorewood, Minnesota August 23, 1988 The Council directed OSM to pursue with a feasibility and better cost report the 3 alternatives as follows: No.2: Demolish and fill No.3: Demolish and install culvert and demolish and construct a Con Span structure.
