COMMISSION REPORTS
Park Commission
Park Commissioner Weatherly was present to give the Park Report.
Park Planner
Weatherly said that, with Council permission, the City sent Requests
for Proposal to several Park Planning firms. The Park COIDnlission
was pleased by this because they felt they would be acquiring a
II spec ial i st" in the park field. Four f i rras vvere then intervie\V'ed.
Other than being able to do the job, which all top four firms could do,
the Commissioners were looking for a firm that showed a particular
interest in Shorewood on a long term basis; a good park philosophy;
experience/ability regarding different types of funding; competitive
pricing; the ability to do step by step planning; and a chemistry
that \V'ould create an easy working relationship with all involved.
Van Doren, Hazard, and Stallings was chosen for several reasons:
their reference checks were most favorable; they had the best oral
and written presentation which showed attention to detail, ability to
follmJ directions, and ability to "read between the lines"; strong
experience; and the lowest price.
Mark Koegler of Van Doren, Hazard, and Stallings was present at the
meeting to answer any questions the Council wished to ask. He said
he had enjoyed meeting with the Park Commission and thought they could
have an excellent working relationship.
Watten moved, Gagne seconded, to apthorize the Mayor to execute the
agreement for consulting services with Van Doren Hazard Stallings Inc.
as the City of Shorewood '.8 Park Planner. liotion carried - 4/0.
Gagne moved, BraDcel seconded, to accept Van Doren Hazard Stallings'
proposal for the Silverwood Park Plan. Motion carried - 4/0.
Covington Vine Ridge - Trail Request
Weatherly told the Council that the Covington Vine Ridge Association
has expressed an interest in extending a trail system around the
wetlands area in Outlot A (36-117-23-14-0065), an outlot owned by the
Association. They have asked for City assistance in cutting the weeds
down and placing a wooden plank bridge over the stream. They would
also like Public Works Director Zdrazil to walk the trail to see if he
sees any areas of concern.

Park Commission
Covington Vine Ridge - Trail Request
Haugen asked if the proposed trail would infringe upon private
property? Weatherly said the back yards are fenced so you can tell
where the property lines are.
Haugen also asked if there was anything in the City Ordinance about
cutting into wetlands? Planner Nielsen said that a trail easement
was approved with the final plat. He also said the Army Corps of
Engineers had expressed concern in that area. He showed those present
a map and pointed out the proposed area.
Watten moved, Gagne seconded, to have the new Park Planner review
various projects that have been brought forward by the Park Commission,
and to make recommendations on these projects. Motion carried - 4/0.
~lr. Steven Dzurak, a member of the Covington Vine Ridge Association
Board of Directors, said he has contacted theDNR, Army Corps of
Engineers, and Purgatory Creek Watershed District. It appears that
if the only things done are cutting the grass and putting a plank
bridge across the stream, these three organizations will approve,
however, if the plans are to divert or fill the stream, or to use
woodchips or anything else on the trail, these agencies will have to
be contacted.

Planner Nielsen said the meeting did not take place due to lack of
quorum.

GEORGE SHERMAN - FINANCING TIF PLAN
Mr. Sherman was present. He referred to the letter sent to Planner
Nielsen on February 19, 1990. He said they are prepared to include
50% of the study cost within the development cost.
Gagne said he agrees with the Administrator's recommendations in his
February 22, 1990 memo to the Council.
Gagne moved, BraDcel seconded, to have the City of Shorewood participate
in 50% of the cost of the TIF Plan study.
Watten mentioned the fact that the Legislature is in the process of
discussing TIF. He asked the Attorney if the City acted on the TIF now
if the TIF would be affected if the Legislature acted upon it later?
Attorney Froberg said the purpose of the TIF can be affected. No approval
is needed now. The bills proposed will give the school district and the
County a veto over any TIF a City proposes. They could, then deC1Ge
if the TIF came uncier the provIsions of toe TIF statute. This would
mean the City would either have to modify the plan or go to a different
plan. The City would then be out the funds expended. Froberg said
generally August 1 is the date bills become effective but this cannot
be predicted.
Mayor Haugen explained the increased valuation during TIF, and how it
affects the school district, County, and the City.
Motion carried - 4/0.
SURVEY OF S.E. AREA WATER USERS-IRON REMOVAL
RESOLUTION NO. 18-90
102 surveys were returned. 308 were mailed. 71% believe we should study
iron removal, 24.5% believe we should study softening, and 67.6% believe
the \~ater needs additional treatment. General comments referred to
color, rust, odor, stains, high iron/hard water, and suspended particles.
Three mentioned "Don't study it - do it!". Three said take the lowest
bid for the study.
Engineer Frigaard of OS~l and Noel Vogen and Gary Swanson of Associated
Consultants Inc. were present.
Gagne compared the $3,000, plus an additional $500 if a site study is
required, received from Associated Consultants Engineering Inc. with
the $12,000 estimate received from OSM. He and Brancel felt the lower
estimate should be accepted.
Engineer Frigaard from OSM said that he didn't feel "appIeR were being
compared to apples", that the estimate from OSM showed 4 times the
number of hours.
Noel Vogen of Associated Consultants Engineering Inc. referred to the
letter sent to the Council on January 26, 1990 stating that the only
items not covered were a possibility of using a higher loading filter
rate in the iron removal filter, because they have studied it and
have not recommended its use on other projects, and site selection.
They have added $500 for the site selection if it is requested.

SURVEY OF S.E. AREA WATER USERS - IRON REMOVAL (RESOLUTION NO. 18-90) cont.
Administrator Whittaker explained that after the gap in prices was
discovered, each company's scope, minus all prices, was sent to the
other firm for comparison purposes of the scope of work. This way
each had the opportunity to change their scope or their price. Both
firms kept the same prices and scopes.
Watten moved, Haugen seconded for discussion purposes, to defer the
decision on who would be hired to do the S.E. Area Feasibility Study
until a full Council is present (Stover absent) and until OSM can
respond.
Watten asked if specs were laid out. Whittaker said no, but there had
been ample comment at previous meetings regarding the information that
the Council wanted at this time.
Haugen mentioned that City Engineer Norton of OSM had given the City a
cost before. Whittaker said, when this was discussed, it appeared that
neither the Council nor Norton seemed very comfortable with taking that
figure to neighborhood meetings and answering questions at this time.
Gary Swanson of Associated Consultants Engineering Inc. said that both
firms had submitted proposals, heard the price difference, and seen
each others work scope.
Motion failed - 1 aye (Watten) - 3 nayes by roll call vote.
RESOLUTION NO. 18-90
Brancel moved, Gagne seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 18-90 - "A
Resolution Ordering Preparation of a Feasibility Report on Water
Treatment Plant for the S.E. Area Trunk Water System" - which authorizes
Associated Consultants Engineering Inc. to prepare the feasibility
report, not to exceed a cost of $3,500. Motion carried by roll call
vote - 3 ayes - 1 nay (Watten).
LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT
Bob Rascop, the LMCD representative, asked for 1/2 hour in March to
present the long-term management plan to the City. He said they need
it before April.
Rascop referred to a letter sent to the City from the LMCD on January 26,
and said he would answer any questions the Council had.
Gagne said the City had doubled their donation last year to handle
milfoil. He asked if they were asking for this again this year along
with the items mentioneg in the letter - lake off-load points in
Shorewood, Compost/weed,A~sposal sites, and provis ion of Ci ty trucks
and drive,rs? He asked what was gQingon "lith milfoil?
Rascop said the LMCD Budget that was put together last year depended upon
funds from several sources, and now they are having problems with these
sources, so they are trying to get contributions. He said that Hennepin
County badtaken 8 out of 9 of their compost sites away by buying them.
He said, last year, HennepJ_D County provided trucks and drivers. This
year the only way this can happen is if Hennepin County has excess snow
removal funds. LMCD must pay for trucks and drivers if those funds are
used.
Rascop said Milfoil only grows in 8'-15' of water. It'll die in shallow
\va ter .

~ LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT continued
Haugen suggested to Rascop that the LMCD support a "Cleanup Weekend",
a time for all property owners to clean up the lakeshore that is
normally under water. Rascop said it would be a problem because when
you try to get out there-the muck is up to your knees.
Rascop said the Lake Minnetonka has lost 14"-18" since last fall.
The LMCD is going to oppose two things: irrigation from the lake and
pumping into the lake from old wells. It has been proven that Lake
Minnetonka is a recharge source for the Jordon Aquafier. The Aquafier
is also down at this time. All the sewer water goes directly into the
}1ississippi River and does not recharge the lake.
Watten told Rascop the City appreciates all the work be is doing.

Shoreland Management Grants
Bob Rascop explained that the DNR has given LMCD money to pay the
cities for writing a Shoreland Ordinance. If the city has other
lakes than Lake Minnetonka involved, it will pay up to $5000.
SIGN PERMIT - OUR SAVIOUR'S LUTHERAN CHURCH
Planner Nielsen said the church wishes to replace their existing sign
with a new and improved monument type sign. It will be 20 square feet
in size. This permanent sign meets the area and height requirements
required in the R-IA zoning district, and will be a vast improvement
over the existing sign.
Watten moved, Gagne seconded, to approve a sign permit for Our Saviour's
Lutheran Church, 23290 State Highway 7, for a 20 square foot sign in
front of the church. Motion carried - 4/0.

Fina - Pollution Control
Planner Nielsen said the ventilation system was started up and they
had to shut it down the same day because of excess noise. They are
working with an engineer and have made progress. The MNPCA has begun to
release Petra fund money to them. NNPCA requires that the mmer
install test wells to monitor groundwater pollution.The wells are
about 35' deep and 4" in diameter. Fina has to file an application
with PCA to drill the well, and a short contract ~~ith the City
saying that they vIi11 cap the wells and abandon them according to the
well code. Planner Nielsen recommended signing the contract. He
said they will work with Public Works Director Zdrazil so the well
is placed so it will not interfere with City work.
Gagne moved, Watten seconded, to allow the Environmental Engineering
Firm that is doing the wells to put in the test wells, and to sign
a contract to that effect - and that the responsibility for abandon-
ment is the Finamart owner's responsibility. Motion carried - 4/0.

would take over the building.
Nielsen said he would come back with two proposals, one to include
the house and one acre, and one to exclude the house and one acre.
Watten showed concern over access. He asked if there would be any
chance of putting in an access by N.S.P. Planner Nielsen will check
into this.

talking to other cities.
Whittaker said he has already talked to neighboring cities, and most
of them don't have room for sites. He said Kirk McDonald, Tonka Bay's
Administrator, is working with the City of Minnetonka regarding a
central~ransfer site in Minnetonka.
The Council asked Whittaker to keep working with other cities, and
to take things very cautiously.
