Motion carried - 4/0 on a roll call vote.
7:30 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING - RENTAL HOUSING CODE
JOHN DENNIS - 5540 CTY RD. 19 - APARTMENT BUILDING
Mr. Dennis felt the Rental Housing Code should apply to any dwelling
in Shorewood. He said the Building Code covers most of the items that
are in the Rental Code. Dennis said Shorewood is targeting the rental
people, who already pay a tax rate 3 times higher than homesteaded
owners. He said it was another method of generating fees. Dennis
said the Code states that the landlord must grant entry into
apartments for inspection. He said his lease does not permit this and
he won't do it.
RICK MORAN - B T VENTURES
Mr. Moran said he just heard of this proposed code. He said he is
glad the Council is soliciting input. He feels there should be
fairness and equal protection to all residents in the Code. He is not
opposed to a code but it should be put together by the people it
affects. He said neither landlords nor tenants were asked. He said
the City should get them together with the Staff to come up with a
Code. He also said there is a distinction between single family
rental and multiple family rental.
MOONYEEN BONGAARDS - 25600 BIRCH BLUFF ROAD
Ms. Bongaards is opposed to the Code. She said it hurts those it
intends to help. Ms. Bongaards said she understands the reasons for
the Code but feels that the majority of residents don't want it. She
feels the Code is anti-free enterprise; it represents too much
government regulation, which ultimately means a diminished number of
units for rent. She stated the cost will be passed on to the very
people the City is trying to protect.
Bongaards said the citizens of Shorewood vote for free enterprise
candidates. She said the Council should look after the good of all
the residents.
JIM DUTCHER - TONKA BAY
Mr. Dutcher asked the Council why they are instituting this code. He
wanted to know how many complaints the City has had. He feels that
disputes between landlords and tenants should be handled through the
courts. He has owned property since 1960 and the majority of his
units are in Shorewood. He has had no problems and says the Code
doesn't make sense. He will not comply with the Code provisions.

KEITH ARNESON - CHRISTMAS LAKE
Arneson owns a 40 year-old house on Christmas Lake which he leased for
4 years. Many items will have to be repaired in a house as old as
his. He feels the Code represents too much government interference.
If he refuses to comply, will the City actually evict a tenant. Will
the City readjust his property taxes.
PAT NIEMI - NO ADDRESS GIVEN
Mrs. Niemi and her husband have owned property in Shorewood for 20
years and have had no complaints. She feels this is too much
government interference and would like her fee rebated. Niemi said
due process was not followed.
DAVID RYAN - 25560 SMITHTOWN ROAD
Mr. Ryan recently rented out his house. The house dates to the early
1900's and if the Code is enforced he will move out. He thought the
Code was ridiculous.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 7:55 P.M.
.
Councilmember Gagne asked Planner Nielsen how many complaints the City
has received.
.
Planner Nielsen said there have been a handful this year. He said
there are 99 properties and 149 units in Shorewood.
Gagne asked what brought about the introduction of a Rental Housing
Code.
Councilmember Brancel explained that there had been a complaint about
two properties in Shorewood. The Building Inspector and the Fire
Marshall inspected the house and cited the houses. The owners were
sent certified letters and no there was a response from one owner.
Haugen asked if the owner was an out of town landlord.
Brancel said he was. She said the house had a faulty furnace and was
giving off carbon monoxide.
Councilmember Watten asked Nielsen about the nature of complaints.
Nielsen said many of them are zoning problems, such as residents
renting out their' basements in single-family areas. Some complaints
are from tenants who are dissatisfied and want some sort of revenge on
the landlord. He also said there are serious situations, when the
properties are in poor condition but not a condemnation situation. The
current code does not give the authority to handle these cases.
Brancel asked Nielsen how many landlords have paid the fee. Nielsen
said the majority have not.
Gagne said that tenants live in properties they cannot get repaired
and should have rights. He said something should be done about this
type of property.
Brancel agreed and said the Council and landlords should come to a
happy medium.
Watten said the first paragraph of the Rental Housing Code states it's
purpose. The Code is for the renter's benefit.

JOHN DENNIS
Dennis said Minneapolis has an active housing inspection. It does not
discriminate between rental and non-rental housing. He said many of
these problems can be handled through the building code.
Nielsen said the City has no current building or fire Code to handle
these problems. He also stated that Minneapolis just passed a Rental
Housing Code.
Haugen said that Minneapolis also has a private housing code called a
Truth in Housing. It is designed to protect buyers of houses.
Nielsen said the Staff studied a Rental Housing Code for one year.
This Code sets minimum standards. He said it could be pared down. The
staff did not include any cosmetic standards just health and safety
standards. If the City wants a Code this Code covers everything.
Brancel also stated the Code is very basic.
ARNESON
A tenant can go to court if he has a problem with his landlord.
City Attorney Froberg said Conciliation Court will not hear a case of
that kind. The tenant can withhold rent until the problems are
resolved. After a judgement is rendered in court, the landlord has 30
days to complete the work.
Brancel said the landlords often just do minimum work.
Watten said a person does not need the court to have the gas shut off.
The gas company will do it, if carbon monoxide is present.
RICK MORAN
Moran said there are rules in place to handle these problems and the
City does not need a new code. He has rented to one family for 8
years and one for 6 years and he does not want to have inspectors
disturb them.
Nielsen the inspections are once every 3 years.
JOHN DENNIS
Dennis said he does not have the authority, ln his lease, to enter his
tenants apartments.
Gagne said he does have the authority to enter in case of emergencies.
He said this Code gives the tenant a vehicle for complaint. It
protects the renter.
PAT NIEMI
Niemi said the house across from her rental property has debris
throughout the property. She has called City Hall 3 times but nothing
has been done about the house. She feels the City is targeting people
who take care of their rental property.
Nielsen said he has heard about the property but needs an address.

DAVID RYAN
Ryan said water from Smithtown Road and Eureka Road drains onto his
property and drains into his basement. Why hasn't the City fixed
this?
Nielsen suggested he discuss it with the Public Works Department.
JIM DUTCHER
Dutcher said the City can't fix a faulty furnace for a tenant. The
City should not get in between a landlord and his tenant. If there is
a problem, it can be handled in court.
Brancel said. if there is no heat in the Fall, the only thing a tenant
can do is move.
Gagne asked Froberg if the City can adopt a Code with fewer
regulations.
Froberg said the landlords could confer with the City staff and
recommend a Code that is more acceptable to them.
Brancel said the Code can be modified. Gagne asked if the landlords
present would be willing to serve on an advisory committee.
Haugen said they should call Planner Nielsen to volunteer.
Nielsen said the Rental fee should be returned to the landlords that
paid it.
Gagne told the landlords that there will be a Rental Code of some
type.
Gagne moved, Brancel seconded. to approve suspending the enforcement
of the Rental Housing Code and the returning of the fees until the
Code has been reviewed.
Motion carried - 4/0.
Haugen said she would like to see advisory committee and the Staff
meet before the first of January.
8:00 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING - CONSIDER ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING SPECIAL
TAXING DISTRICT FOR SHADY HILLS SUEWATERSHED
Mayor Haugen called the Public Hearing to order at 8:35 P.M.
A. Presentation of Feasibility Report - Engineer Norton
City Engineer Norton presented the Feasibility Report on the Shady
Hills drainage. Rev. Paul Almquist, of 19355 Shady Hills Road, is at
the low point of Shady Hills Road and has a significant water problem.
The drainage system in the area is 35 years old and has served it's
useful life. It should be replaced. The system cannot handle the
flow of water at the bottom of the hill. This is either due to
insufficient inlet capacities or a restricted pipe flow or both.
The report proposes to install a new pipe with new catch basins and
concrete curb. The estimated cost is $35,000.
Mr. Norton described the properties benefitted by this improvement.

Administrator Whittaker explained that the area Norton defined as
"properties benefitted by the improvement" would be designated a
Subwatershed District and included in a Special Taxing District.
In a Special Taxing District. the costs of the project are distributed
throughout the Taxing District based on the value of the property.
This is an Ad Valorem Tax.
The Public Hearing tonight is to define the Special Taxing District.
A second public hearing is held on the feasibility of the project and
an estimate of the tax is calculated. All parcels which are at least
50% in the Special Taxing District will probably be taxed.
A third Public Hearing is held when the tax is assessed.
Haugen asked Norton why the commercial area on Hwv. 7 was not included
in the drainage project.
Norton said the majority of the water in that area drains into a
Mn/Dot pipe on the service road.
Watten asked about a topography map to show the elevations.
Norton said the entire area contributes water to the low point of the
area.
B. Public Hearing on Ordinance Establishing Shady Hills Sub-
watershed District.
KATHERINE CREEDEN - 5345 SHADY HILLS CIRCLE
Mrs. Creeden said that Shady Hills Circle slopes away from the
district. The City should be consistent and exempt the Circle.
PEGGY MARSDEN - 5251 SHADY HILLS CIRCLE
Mrs. Marsden also said Shady Hills Circle slopes away from the
district.
PAULA GREGG - 5320 SHADY HILLS CIRCLE
Mrs. Gregg asked why were the lots on Vine Hill exempted from the
project? Whittaker said they do not drain to the pipe.
She asked if the wetland area will be affected. Haugen said the same
amount of water will drain into the wetland. Gregg asked about the
size of the pipe.
Whittaker said the size of the pipe would remain the same.
Norton said the same size pipe will be adequate.
MARK HUGO - 5395 SHADY HILLS CIRCLE
Hugo asked if the pipe by the Almquist house lS collapsed?
Norton said it was collapsed in places.
Hugo asked if the pipe had been checked for silt and can it be
rehabilitated. Norton said it cannot be rehabilitated and he
recommends replacing the pipe.
Paula Gregg - asked how long the pipe would last. Norton said about
50 years.
Gregg also asked why only 20 parcels were used in the tax
calculations.
Whittaker said these parcels are more than 50% in the subwatershed.

Katherine Creeden - asked, if the property does not contribute to the
drainage problem, will it still be included in the Special Taxing
District?
Whittaker said that if the property does not contribute surface water
to the subwatershed then the Council may exclude it from the Special
Taxing District.
JOHN ASKINS - 19385 SHADY HILLS ROAD
Mr. Askins asked Norton what led him to believe the pipe is plugged.
Norton said the area adjacent to Mr. Almquist's house is caved in.
Askins asked if the pipe was dug out. He felt the pipe is not
corroded.
Norton said he didn't know if the pipe was dug out and he did not do a
televised inspection. He said the pipe is questionable, it does not
handle the flow of water.
Hugo said he would inspect the pipe.
Askins about using a telescoping camera.
Norton said that, even if the pipe is still in good condition, he
would not recommend using the pipe. The pipe has served it's useful
life. He will not support using this pipe.
Askins asked about using a sleeve in the old pipe.
Norton said corrugated pipe is not inherently strong, it could
collapse.
Gagne said the City has patched drainage projects for many years, but
now he wants to see things repaired so there are no more problems.
Hugo asked when the work would be completed.
Norton said the pipe replacement could be done this year and then the
project finished in 1991.
Creeden - asked when the Special Tax District would be established.
Haugen said they were doing that now.
Gagne asked Whittaker to explain the process of establishing a Special
Taxing District.
Whittaker explained:
1. The first Public Hearing is held to establish the boundaries
of the District. Then the Council can get firm figures on
the property values.
2. The second Public Hearing is held on the Feasibility Study.
3. The third Public Hearing is held on the assessment of the
project.
Haugen said the Council should have a workshop to establish the
boundaries of the district. The Council will have to decide the
criteria for inclusion in the Special Taxing District.
Gregg asked if there is an appeal period.
Froberg said residents can appeal within thirty days of the Council's
decision to the District Court.
LEOLA BREID - 5240 VINE HILL ROAD
Water flows into her basement from the Shady Hills area and she
doesn't feel she should be included in the Special Taxing District.

REV. PAUL ALMQUIST - SHADY HILLS CIRCLE
Rev. Almquist has lived in his present house for one year and has had
many water problems. He is grateful that the City has taken the
problem seriously.
Almquist said that many of his neighbors will be affected by this
project and he doesn't want any unnecessary expense. He understands
the rationale for doing a good job. He felt there might have been a
lack of communication, when the pipe was exposed there were no signs
of deterioration. He would like to have the pipe examined and get the
data accurate.

C. Consider Ordinance to Establish District
Haugen asked if a camera could be run through the pipe.
Gagne said he didn't think the Council should second guess the
Engineer. He said the Council pays him a lot of money to make these
decisions. Gagne felt the assessment for drainage projects should be
City wide. The decision to use Special Taxing Districts was not
unanimous.
Watten also said it was time Shorewood recognized it is not a rural
area. It is a City and the entire City may need improvements and may
have to share in the cost.
Hugo said there was doubt as to whether this is a new problem and he
questioned whether the same size pipe would really solve the problem.
Haugen said the State has authorized cities to set aside a percentage
of their tax levy for drainage problems. However, Shorewood has
identified three problems in 1990 and this tax alone would not pay for
these projects.
Whittaker also said that the projected cost for these drainage
problems is $300,000 and the general fund cannot support this.

FREEMAN PARK LITTLE LEAGUE FIELD IRRIGATION
JIM LATTERNER - OF TONKA MEN'S CLUB
Mr. Latterner said that the estimate received by the Tonka Men's Club
for construction of the Freeman Park Little League Field includes
irrigation of the field. They are asking the City to pay for the
extension of the water line and to provide power to the system.
MARK KOEGLER - PARK PLANNER
Mr. Koegler did not recommend installing the irrigation system unless
it would be used in the spring. He said it is not a good idea to let
it sit.
Koegler said there is another possibility. The system could be
connected without a booster pump and the electricity would have to be
run 1300 ft. These could be achieved for about $4000 to $5000.
However, this does not fit the long-term need to sprinkle all three
fields.
Gagne asked Zdrazil what has been done with the other two fields in
the south part of Freeman Park. Zdrazil said the Public Works Dept.
does not irrigate them now.
GORDY CHRISTIANSEN - CHAIRMAN, PARK COMMISSION
Christiansen said there are four park priorities in 1990, they are:
1. Silverwood Park
2. Cathcart Park, restructuring
3. Freeman Park Little League Field
4. Irrigation of Freeman Park.
Christiansen said he has not talked to the other Park Commissioners.
However, he feels that if the City has an organization who will fund
the ballfield to the City's specifications, then let them do it.
He said the cost seemed a little high. He wants the field done
correctly.
Whittaker said the proposal for the Little League Field never included
irrigation. The Council talked about reserving capital projects funds
for the gas tank removal until we know the total cost.

Sherman said that Sherman-Boosalis proposes to purchase the
Waterford Third Phase property from Trivesco. While trying to
work out agreements with Trivesco. it became apparent that there
is a difference in the TIF agreement. Two sets of agreements
were presented. One stated that the property would be valued
as of Jan. 1. 1991. the other set said Jan. 1. 1992. There will
be no public improvements at the site as of Jan. 1. 1991. He
would like to know if the City plans to value the property at 5
million dollars three months from now or 1.7 million dollars.
Sherman-Boosalis is willing to guarantee the value of improvements
as of Jan. 1, 1992.

FINANCE DIRECTOR ROLEK
The TIF plan assumed a partial value of construction on the
property in 1991. payable in 1992. The Staff asked Sherman
if he would be willing to make more guarantees for later years
to compensate for lower values in 1991/1992. Previously the TIF
plan assumed only the residential lots, without buildings. The
new agreement would assume buildings on these lots. Sherman
agreed to guarantee the value of the buildings, according to
an agreed-upon schedule.
Whittaker said the Staff is assuming the same revenue over the
life of the district.
Gagne asked Froberg if he was satisfied with the new TIF figures.
Froberg said the numbers work out alright.
Gagne said he didn't want future Councils stuck with an agreement
that didn't work.
Sherman said he will be putting UP a $680,000 letter of credit and
$1.2 Mil. in assessments for an intersection that he feels
basically costs $500,000. He said the City staff has done a
wonderful job of protecting the City. He said he has to perform.
.
Whittaker said Springstead Inc. generated the new TIF figures and
Sherman said he would like to have them review the figures one
more time.
Whittaker said the Council should approve the changes to the
assessment agreement. He said that, originally. there was no
guarantee that the houses would be built. Sherman will now
guarantee construction of homes or the value of those homes for
tax purposes. The revenue will not be necessary to retire the
bonds.
Sherman said that as of 1-1-91 the property will be assessed at
a value of $1.7 Mill. On 1-1-92, the single family lots will be
assessed at a value of $2.1 Mill. and the commercial will be built
and assessed at a value of $3.2 Mill. He anticipates the retail
will be built 1-1-92 and additional commercial and additional
homes by 1-1-93. By 1-1-94 more homes will be built and 8-10 homes
per year thereafter.
Haugen said she wants a sign up at Old Market Road and HwY. 7
