SETBACK VARIANCE LOCATION: APPLIANT: 4225 ENCHANTED LANE CHESTER YANIK Mr. Yanik's attorney, David Busch, asked the Council to reconsider their denial of a sideyard setback variance for Mr. Yanik. Mr. Busch felt the matter merits more discussion. Gagne moved, Brancel seconded, to reconsider the setback variance for Chester Yanik. Motion carried 5/0. a 30 ft. setback if the entire property is Yanik is at a disadvantage because his house is He is giving up the use of 250 sq. ft. on the the setback.

Brancel asked Nielsen if this was the same structure they had discussed at the July 23rd Council Meeting. Nielsen said it was same gazebo. She asked if the other requirements had been met. wanted a statement, in writing, indicating that Yanik would not on the other side. Brancel felt it was not a deterrent to the property if the gazebo was moved. Stover said the Planning Commission thought Yanik made reasonable use of the property and recommended a Variance for the deck but not the gazebo based on the current Ordinance. She felt Yanik's Attorney is arguing for a change in the Ordinance based on the fact that the house is placed sideways on the lot. When the Ordinance was rewritten, this subject was discussed in length and a combination of two sideyard setbacks to equal 30 ft. was decided upon. Stover felt Council should not give a Variance when it is not a hardship. Busch said he could not argue it is a necessity but it IS commonly done on lake property. He is not asking for a change in the Ordinance. He would assure the City that all setbacks are written into the new agreement. Gagne said this problem goes back 18 months. He wants to work out a compromise. He has no objection, providing the deck is cut back. Stover asked if Yanik has a hardship due to the construction of the house. Froberg said there would not be a hardship if the owner knew he couldn't add on to the house when he constructed it, because he created his own problem. the She build . . .

Motion carried - 3/2 (Watten and Stover nay). SETBACK VARIANCE LOCATION: 5725 MERRY LANE APPLICANT: W. ROBERT ANDERSON Mr. Lloyd Ellingson, Architect, presented the proposal for Dr. and Mrs. Anderson. Ellingson said the new solarium will not extend any farther than the current deck. The Anderson's want to take advantage of a break in the tree line to obtain some sunlight in their house. Stover said the Planning Commission reco~nended denial of the variance. Watten said he had visited the home and it is located 25 to 30 ft. above the waterline. He could see no reason to deny the varIance. Gagne agreed. Watten moved.

REVISED DEVELOPMENT STAGE PLAN - WATERFORD THIRD PHASE LOCATION: APPLICANT: T. H. 7, WEST OF VINE HILL ROAD SHERMAN-BOOSALIS Mr. George Sherman of Sherman-Boosalis Interests, Inc. presented the Revised Development Stage Plan. Mr. Sherman would like to add a convenience store with gas pumps and a restaurant to the proposed plan. The other retail operations had been previously approved. The greenspace and setbacks will be greater. The hours of operation for the convenience/gas facility will be limited from 5 A. M. to 12 A. M. and 60% of the business will be groceries. There will be 54 twin homes that will abut the Waterford area. The prices will range from $225,000 to $250,000. They have provided two ponding areas fronting HwY 7 and one on the Shady Hills area. Mr. Sherman believes the proposed twin homes will have 40% of the traffic that the original plan projected for the multiple-family residential area. They have been approached by family restaurants for this site. The restaurant would have 2400-3200 sq. ft. and would not sell liquor. The restaurant will have a national corporate base to assur~ it will not close. Because of prior restrictions, Sherman Boosalis never pursued restaurants at this site; but has been approached by family restaurants. In 1984/85 the gas station was not specifically denied. The hours of operation were restricted. The new plan incorporates the gas facility into the retail plan. Market studies were conducted on the site in 1989. This site could have higher and better uses and more density. With the restrictions placed by the Council. Sherman-Boosalis has only looked for tenants who would consider servicing a 1 to 3 mile radius. The market study indicates there is a potential retail space of 100,000 Sq. ft. of which there exists already 40 to 45,000. Watten asked how many pumps would be there would be six on three islands. facilitate parking and would service peak hours. Gas stations attract station is necessary Gagne questioned the early and too late. at the station. Sherman said This configuration would people most efficiently during other tenants and Sherman said this type of gas for the economic viability of the center. hours of operation. He felt the hours are too ~:::.I . . . CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, AUGUST 27, 1990 COUNCIL CHAMBERS 5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD PAGE 6 Sherman said the proposed operator has many restrictions placed on him by the requirements of the City and they want the early hours of operation to capture the rush hour traffic. Haugen agrees with Gagne and wants the hours to be 6 A. M. to 10 P. M on weekdays and 6 A. M. to 11 P. M. on weekends. Sherman said 6 to 12 would be the furthest he could go without losing the tenant. He does not want to got through this any more. Stover said the Planning Commission recommended denial and spent a lot of time discussing the hours of operation. They also discussed the many other centers that were not making it. Stover felt that. if the City wants a commercial operation. they don't want to tie the hands of the retailers to the extent that the buildings will be empty. She wants to be realistic and approve a viable retail operation without the disadvantages of some of them by sight. sound. looks, vacancy. Stover asked Sherman about the signage. Sherman said the signage requirements are very strict and the height of signs would be about 20 ft. The berm on HwY. 7 will be 2-4 ft. and they have allowed for possible future widening of HwY 7. Stover asked if the plan had been turned around to face away from HwY 7 at one time. Sherman said their proposal always faced HwY. 7. Brancel said that most of the residents in the area are against a gas station because of the increase in traffic. The gas station will increase the traffic flow. Watten asked what the distance from the commercial to the residential area is. Sherman said it is 580 to 600 ft. Sherman said this plan is substantially different. the previous plan included a stand alone gas station which may have generated two to three times more traffic. The traffic plan for this center is as low as you can go and still have a viable center. Haugen felt that six pumps is not a neighborhood gas station. She thinks of neighborhood as one row of pumps. Gagne felt that the hours should be 6 A. M. rather than 5 A. M. Sherman said one prospective client wanted hours from 6 A. M. to 12 A. M. He is asking for one additional hour for the restaurant. Gagne asked what restaurant would be going in. Stover wanted to be sure there would be no liquor. Sherman said the tenants he had letters of intent from did not serve liquor in any of their metro. restaurants. Brancel asked if the restaurant would require more square footage. Sherman said it would not. Nielsen said the approval in 1989 was for 50.000 sq. ft. and this has 45.600 for all four buildings. Gagne said the hours of operation were the big question. Brancel felt that the approval of the gas station was important because the hours would not be necessary if it was not approved. Watten said they are asked to approve land use. Froberg said the Council will be considering Findings if it is determined that changes occurred since the previous Findings of Nov. 20. 1989. The previous plan stated that a gas station was not an acceptable use of the land. Brancel said they should consider what they had previously approved and should not reverse themselves. The residents do not want this gas station. Gagne wanted to vote on everything at this meeting, not delay. b CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES. AUGUST 27. 1990 COUNCIL CHAMBERS 5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD PAGE 7 . Barb Christianson of 19545 Vine Ridge Road asked the Council if the residents would be able to speak. She hopes the Council will listen to the Planning Commission's recommendations. 9:30 - 9:40 BREAK Randy Travalia of Robert H. Mason Homes, Inc. said the company was involved in the original plan. He said the plan designated 11 acres for commercial use and the rest for 144 dwellings. Nielsen said the commerical was limited with no restaurant, no outdoor sales or displays similar to Chowen's Corner. Froberg said the original development plan did not specifically define the commerical. Bob Snyder, resident, said he bought his home with the idea that the back of the center would face HwY. 7. He asked Travalia if this was the intent of Robert H. Mason? Travalia said the 1984 plan was conceptual. They were thinking of something like Chowen's Corner. Mason is not a commerical builder. Snyder asked Travalia if this center changed the ambiance of the area. Travalia said this plan was consistent with what they had in mind. ANDREW SCHMIDT OF VIDEO UPDATE. . Mr. Schmidt said he has owned the Video Update at Vine Hill Road for four years. He feels this center is the ideal example of residential planning. The site is buffered, not high density. He wants to be in a center where the people will come. He said gas stations are magnets. Schmidt said he is currently operating a store at HwY 7 and 41 and the volume is immense because of the stand alone gas station. DAVID DEAN OF 5690 OLD MARKET ROAD Mr. Dean asked the City Council to keep faith with the 1984 and 1989 plans, which prohibited gas stations and restaurants. He said no residents wanted the gas station. He said the TIF is for the intersection, not to finance the developer. Dean said that nothing has changed in the new proposal. The developer can't get this project to work without a gas station. The free market is telling him it won't work. If this is a neighborhood project. the neighborhood does not want it. There are environmental concerns and Dean feels the area would be a hang out. This project will be like the HwY 7 and 41 center; not economically viable. He feels the Council has met its obligations under the 1984 agreement and they should keep their promises to the citizens. PAT MALMSTEN- VINE HILL ROAD Mr. Malmsten does not want Waterford's traffic at Vine Hill. ~ JAY HARE - 5670 OLD MARKET ROAD Mr. Hare represents the Waterford Homeowner's Association. Hare felt a gas station moves further from the proper use of the land. He stated that Planning Commissioner Bruce Benson said the project has drifted from the original intent. 7 . . . CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, AUGUST 27, 1990 COUNCIL CHAMBERS 5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD PAGE 8 What has changed? The Planning Commission saw through this proposal. The residents are unanimously opposed to this project. The Sweetwater residents think you have already decided. The residents will boycott the businesses. This project is serving the developer's needs. A family restaurant should not be open after 9 P. M.; there will be loitering and possibly liquor served. An office building was originally proposed to be open only on weekdays. A real estate office would be open seven days a week and nights. Nothing has been done about through traffic since the last discussion. The Council is not obligated to approve this project. LOUISE BONACH, 19625 SWEETWATER CURVE. Bonach represents the Shorewood Residents for a Safe Neighborhood. Many of her neighbors said it would do no good to come. However, she feels she must come and present her views. She does not believe the City needs this center. The traffic will be very high. The local residents will boycott. Watten said he moved to the Shorewood area in 1963 because he thought it would be a good place to live. Since then the traffic has increased on HwY 7 and many of the idlyic areas have been developed. He said the City Council is trying to develop the City in an orderly fashion and control the undesirable elements of commerical development. He feels good commerical development is desirable in Shorewood. Gagne said he has been part of this process SInce 1984 and the neighbors didn't want the center then. He said he would do things differently. The restaurant and gas station were turned down originally because they were fast food and a large gas station. He think the project has been scaled down and can see nothing wrong with it. Stover said the TIF financing is for the public road and the intersection. She said there is a big difference between a major gas station and a convenience store with gas. The original proposal asked for The Cattle Company restaurant in the center and this was unacceptable. She sees a family restaurant as one with no liquor. The intersection caused a lot of dissension but the City needs it for the development of the southeast area. This development will benefit the entire city. Brancel said she is not against commerical development but the Council should consider what they have already passed. She wants the Council to be consistent; no gas station and no restaurant. Haugen said the development agreement in 1984 was loosely defined. The City has been working with Minnetonka and other cities to manage the traffic problems. Some people have said this is a pet project of the Mayor, but it is not. Many people opposed the development of the southeast area. The Council is trying to get good commerical development for Shorewood and the Council thinks this is one of them. u CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, AUGUST 27, 1990 COUNCIL CHAMBERS 5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD PAGE 9 . Bob Snyder, resident, said he had heard of no meeting with the City of Minnetonka and it has been five months since there has been any discussion of traffic problems. Sherman said Chowen's Corner does have a gas station and this is one of the reasons it is so successful. Stover moved, Gagne seconded, to direct the City Attorney to prepare Findings of Fact approving the revised Waterford III development stage plan to include a convenience store with gas pumps with hours of operation from 6:00 A. M. to 12:00 A. M. and a family restaurant with no liquor, subject to the recommendations of the City Planner in his report. Motion carried - 4/1 (Brancel) on a roll call vote. RESOLUTION FOR GRANTING AN AMENDED CONDITIONAL RESOLUTION NO. 88-90 USE PERMIT TO THE CITY OF SHOREWOOD FOR THE PUBLIC WORKS SITE: AND STATUS OF LAND PURCHASE . Nielsen said the revised concept plan is the similar to the first proposal for both sites. No pole barns will be used. Gagne asked if Mr. Bishop is more receptive to selling his property. He feels the City should put a time limit on the purchase of his property. Haugen said he is getting an appraiser and she is still trying to work with him. Nielsen said the City does not plan to use this site in the near future. The salt shed will go up on the single site. Stover moved, Watten seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO 88-90. "A Resolution Granting a Conditional Use Permit for the Construction of a Publ ic Works Facil i ty. II Motion carried - 5/0 on a roll call vote. RESOLUTION APPROVING MN/DOT PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR INTERSECTION OF VINE HILL ROAD AND TRUNK HWY 7. RESOLUTION NO. 89-90 . Engineer Norton reviewed the design for the intersection and agrees with the final layout. The final layout should address access to the vacant commerical parcel. Nielsen said the best access would be directly off the intersection. Norton said to keep the access in mind and remind Mn/DOT. Mn/DOT does not think the fencing or screening will be necessary; but they will add a fence to the berm if Shorewood requests one. Mn/Dot does not think there will be a noise problem. Nielsen said the City should deal with this problem when the commerical development is proposed. Stover and Gagne wanted Mr. Zgraggen to have a COpy of the Mn/Dot letter. (,:.1 . .) . CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES. AUGUST 27. 1990 COUNCIL CHAMBERS 5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD PAGE 10 Watten moved.

Motion carried - 5/0 on a roll call vote. CONSIDER APPOINTMENT TO FILL ANGELA WEATHERLY'S POSITION-TERM TO RUN THROUGH 12/31/92. Gagne, Stover and Haugen felt both men were excellent candidates.

Brancel seconded. to appoint Steve Dzurak as the new Park Commissioner. to serve out Angela Weatherly's term. Motion carried - 5/0. Watten said one candidate had a little bit more flexibility in deliberation and has been in business a long time and this was John Cross. Haugen talked to the Park Commissioners and they felt Mr. Dzurak would be a good appointment. RENEWAL OF LEASE WITH RYAN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY FOR LIQUOR STORE #2 Stover moved. Gagne seconded to table the renewal of Lease with Ryan Construction. Motion carried - 5/0 ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 501 OF THE SHOREWOOD CITY CODE RELATING TO GENERAL HEALTH AND SAFETY - NONOPERATIVE BOATS Nielsen said he had complaints about old boats stored on the property, He wants to treat them like a junk car and require the owner to get a license. Gagne felt they should be careful about this because the area is very boat oriented. Nielsen said if the boat has obvious holes, and is inoperable, it should be licensed or taken off the property or stored in a building. Froberg said that the proposed amendment to the ordinance applies only to unlicensed boats. Nielsen wanted a clarification in the ordinance because he gets complaints. Stover moved. Gagne seconded. to table the amendment to change Chapter 501 of the Shorewood City Code. Motion carried - 5/0. 1 () r .

Motion carried - 5/0 MATTER FROM THE FLOOR Mr, Chuck Ferrel of 24695 Glen Road wanted to talk about the Glen Road drainage problem. He wanted to know what is happening with it. Froberg said there will be three public hearings: . The first one is for an Ordinance which will set up the boundaries of the SubWatershed District. Anyone can object. The second hearing is for adopting the storm sewer improvement and must have the vote of 4/5 of the Council unless a petition is received, The third hearing is for the assessment of each parcel of land In the district. Ferrel is concerned the process will happen backwards. Haugen said they have already gone through the process of identifying the problem with the City of Tonka Bay and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, Ferrel wants to be involved in the process. He has not received any information on the process. He has received a quit claim deed foran easement. Nielsen said the original quit claims should be torn up. They are no longer valid. Gagne said there IS a new proposal from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, Nielsen said the plans can be inspected at the City Hall and Ferrel will get a legal notice.
