RON LUND - 5465 WATERFORD CIRCLE
Mr. Lund said he lives across the street from Outlot C. He feels it is
part of Waterford and therefore, under Waterford's protective
covenants.
He said this issue was discussed two years ago and he thought the
matter was decided. He said the Planning Commission voted in favor of
establishing the Waterford covenants.
Lund said Mr. Bonner, Johnson's attorney, has another compromise
position. He said the neighbors did not participate in the
discussions and he is angry about that. Lund said their property
values are at stake.

MR. JERRY KENLINE - 5535 WATERFORD CIRCLE
Kenline said the Planning Commission and Mr. Nielsen recommended
Johnson abide by the Waterford Covenants, nothing should change at
this point.
He wanted the Council to understand that the covenants work for 89
other people in Waterford.
Stover said no other compromise was agreed to by the Council,
Planner Nielsen said the Staff had agreed to the compromise but it was
not approved by the Council.
Kenline said the neighbors should have been consulted.
JOHN BONNER - ATTORNEY FOR MR. JOHNSON
Bonner said there was a reason why the neighbors were not part of the
compromise discussion. At the Planning Commission meeting he asked if
the neighbors would take part in discussion to works out a compromise.
He said Mr. Lund said it was not the neighbors problem.
Bonner said he would like a discussion with the neighbors. Bonner said
Mr. Johnson knows the lots are in a high quality development.
However, Mr. Johnson feels Trivesco has a competitive interest with
him and could delay the development.
Bonner said at the Planning Commission meeting he proposed that an
outside party such as the City or an architecture professor from the
University review the plans. However, neither idea was acceptable to
the Planning Commission or Staff.
Bonner said he now proposes to have Trivesco and Johnson each choose
an architect to review the plans.
Stover asked who would pay the cost.
Bonner said the builder would accept the cost.
Stover asked Lund if this was acceptable.
Lund said there is no need to compromise, the mechanics are already in
place within the Waterford covenants. He said Johnson is trying to
shift the burden to the neighbors. If the neighbors don't like what
he does they have to take him to court. He said Johnson is taking
advantage of values already established.
Councilmember Lewis asked Bonner if there is a problem between Johnson
and Trivesco beyond the competition.
Bonner said there is hostility between them. He also said Johnson
proposes to build very high quality housing.
Councilmember Gagne said the value of the area has already been
established and Johnson should live within the Waterford covenants.
Bonner said Johnson does propose to live with the covenants except for
the initial building review stage.
Lewis said this is providing an additional out for Johnson and he
thinks the residents have a just concern.
Stover asked Nielsen if the City has the right to lmpose conditions on
Johnson.

City Attorney Froberg said all property within the original plat of
Waterford is under the Waterford Covenants, including outlot C. These
covenants established an Architectural Control Committee. This
Committee is made up of the three partners in Trivesco, Inc. Froberg
said these covenants do not apply to the property outside of the
Waterford plat.
Stover asked what covenants apply to the property when it 1S combined.
Froberg said the part of the property that was within the Waterford
plat when the covenants were filed, is still under those restrictions.
He said the City can require a development agreement between the City
and the developer that establishes restrictions.
Froberg said the City can review and determine if the restrictions are
similar to the Waterford covenants. The City can disapprove the
covenants and restrictions if they are not in the best interests of
the City.
However, the City cannot require the developer of one tract of land to
obtain the approval of a developer of another tract of land before
development.
Gagne said there are a lot of legalities but the bottom line is that
Johnson'did not want to work with the City five years ago and now
wants the fringe benefits. He said now the property is worth much
more than five years ago.
Stover moved. Gagne seconded. to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 42-91 "A
Resolution approving the preliminary plat for Johnson1s First
Addition. based on the recommendations of the City Planner dated March
28. 1991 and subject to the restrictive covenants remaining the same
as Waterford.
Motion carried - 5/0
7:15 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING - CONSIDER ORDERING OF IMPROVEMENTS/ORDER
PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS - GLEN ROAD DRAINAGE PROJECT
Brancel opened the Public Hearing at 7:47 P.M.
City Engineer Dresel presented the project and gave an overview of
prior proposals. The project was first proposed in 1988 because of
flooding of homes in the area that, at times. flowed over Hwy.19.
Three ponding areas were established by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed
District in 1988. The funding was never established and the project
never completed.
In May 1990 the City request that the MCWD amend their study to deal
solely with the Shorewood portion of the project. In August of 1990 a
Feasibility Study was done by OSM that included dredging ponds 2 and
3. At the time. the dredging would have including clearing trees and
the residents did not want that. The easements would have been
extensive. On Nov. 13, 1990 the City asked the MCWD to do another
model and a Taxing District was established. On Dec. 28. 1990 OSM was
aSked to go ahead with plans and specs. but the project has been in
limbo. In March 1991 the Feasibility Report was updated and the
project was scaled down from $150.000 to $107.000.

Dresel said he is now asking for direction and input from the
neighborhood.
Finance Director Rolek said the City looked at two funding options;
special assessment and special taxing district.
Rolek said it is hard to prove benefit with drainage projects and use
the special assessment. Therefore, a special taxing district was
established. He said the project will cost $307,000 with easements.
BRANCEL OPENED THE HEARING TO THE PUBLIC AT 7:54 P.M.
BERNIE EISENREICH - WESTWIND ADDITION
Eisenreich said part of his property is in the Special Taxing District
but he could see know problem on Smithtown Road.
Nielsen said the north side of Smithtown Road is in the drainage
district.
Eisenreich said he doesn't think the project is needed.
ROGER CHAMPA - STAR LANE
He thought the City waited with this project until there were more
homes to pay for the project.
Brancel said the project was delayed because it was given to the MCWD.
Champa asked if the Council had approved the Christopher Lane
development and determined that the drainage would not affect the Glen
Road area.
Brancel said the Council reqUired the developer to set aside land for
a ponding area. However. the pond has not been used yet but can be
used if the Glen Road project is not completed.
Champa asked how long this problem has been going on.
Gagne said there has been a problem at least since 1961, when he moved
in. He said know one wants to address the problem until they are
under water.
DAVID LITTLEFIELD - 24775 GLEN ROAD
Littlefield explained the problem and how the water sits in the area.
He said the current Livingston property is sometimes underwater.
BRIAN MAHAN - 5670 CHRISTOPHER ROAD
Mahan asked Rolek to explain the tax capacity.
Rolek said the tax values are established by the State at 1% of the
first $68,000, 2% up to $110,000 and 3% over $110,000.
Mahan said he and his wife are not in support of the project.
He asked if the City will take action against Tonka Bay because the
Tonka Bay Mall drains water into the area.
Nielsen said that problem has been discussed preViously. A drainage
pattern was established in that area.

Gagne said that when other Cities and agencies were involved. they
used the MCWD as a third party but it didn't work.
Stover and Gagne said Tonka Bay maintains that water from Shorewood
also runs into Tonka Bay.
Mahan asked why the ICO is excluded from the project.
Dresel and Public Works Director Zdrazil said there is a catch basin
to take care of the runoff.
Mahan reiterated that Christopher Road was approved without concern
for the runoff.
He said the Council should consider the financial aspects of
litigation by the residents over this project.

ALLAN VAN DER LINDE
Van der Linde said he purchased his property 3 years ago. He said the
problem should be solved by Hennepin County. The burden is placed on
the Cities to solve drainage problems. He said there is no reason for
him to finish his house, if vacant lots are taxed less.
He said the City is paying too much to buy the land to drain the low
lying area.
He said there should be a different way to do this.
ROGER FISCHBACH - 24885 GLEN ROAD
Fischbach asked what the City is paying for easements.
Dresel said they figured $.25 to $1.00 per Sq. ft., approximately.
Fischbach asked if trees would be removed.
Dresel said they are trying to minimize the removal of trees.
Fischbach asked what guarantees he had that the problem would be
solved. He said his house is built on a drainage area.
Dresel said the project would not alleviate ground water drainage.
That would require installing a sump pump.
Fischbach said he would rather do that.
Dresel said the legislature has adopted rules for storm sewer drainage
projects. All residents who contribute to the problem are taxed.
WOODY LOVE - MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE
Love explained that water quality in the area is still an issue. He
said a long term approach is necessary and a more natural method of
solving the problem. He offered the staff of the MCWD to help with
the project.

JOHN PLONSKE - 24680 SMITHTOWN ROAD
Plonske said the numbers can get worse. The residents do not know
enough about the project. He said he moved to the area for the
nature. He asked who will gain from this project. He can see no
benefit.
DEBRA ROSS-FARRELL - GLEN ROAD
Ross-Farrell said a holding pond was established to take the drainage
off the Towne Addition but not the whole area.
She said she will lose 1/2 acre of land for easements. Ross-Farrell
said she has 30 dead trees in her yard from the 1987 storm and she is
trying to keep this from happening again.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:48 P.M.
Brancel said she the cost of the project is high.
Stover said if easements are volunteered, the cost would be 1/3 less.
Gagne said he does not want to spend $307,000 and the City cannot
continue to run water off into the lake. He would like to find
another way.
Councilmember Daugherty said that water problems don't disappear. He
said the residents should discuss the project.
Lewis said the easements add to the cost. He said the State mandates
the tax figures. He said the group called Fair Share is trying to
change the tax structure.
Froberg said the Council can table the project for up to 6 months.
The project was not petitioned by 35% or more residents. Approval
will require 4/5 vote of the Council.
Stover moved. Gagne seconded. to table the Glen Road Drainage project
for 6 months and encourage the residents involved to discuss the
problem.

to the next extension.
Bortscheller asked what the contingencies covered.
Dresel said they started planning the project with no information and
the contingency cost covers the extra costs.
SUSAN SANTO - 5685 HOWARD'S POINT ROAD
Santo said she signed the petition but does not want to hook-up. She

approach to the problem will not continue to work.
MICHAEL LOFTEN - 5665 HOWARDS POINT ROAD
He said his property borders Brentridge but there is no hook-up. It
would be cheaper for him to hook-up to Brentridge. He said Howards
Point is not included in the project but is to be assessed.
Dresel said that will be adjusted, he will not be assessed twice.
Loften said he is paying twice to refinish the road.
BILL KEELER - 27420 PINE BEND

an 8" pipe.

Dzurak asked if the contract was presented to the Park Commission.

organizations will come to the City for any claims over that amount.
Brancel asked if there is time to send this to the Park Commission for
recommendations.

He said the City is protected by the State and is not required by law

REQUEST FOR FUNDING - POLICE SERVICES FOR 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION
Brancel said Excelsior is asking Shorewood to help pay for police
services for the 4th of July celebration. This amount will be
$2617.00.
She said Shorewood is already contributing $1000 for the event. She
said Excelsior businesses will benefit from the celebration but not
Shorewood's.
Stover said the City has had much discussion over the joint Police
budget and this will open more doors to Shorewood paying more of the
cost.
The Finance Committee looked at potential cuts in the budget and the
funding for this event was one of the proposed cuts.
Gagne said the City has negotiated hard and long for a Police
Contract. He said about 7-8 years ago the Council doubled Shorewood's
taxes to cover expenses. He said that Excelsior may have to do the
same thing.
Daugherty said the cost for Police should be done in one package.
Lewis said he agrees that Excelsior will have to handle their
financial crisis.
Gagne moved, Lewis seconded, to deny the request for funds from
Excelsior for Police costs for the 4th of July celebration.

Spring Cleanup
Nielsen said it is hard to get exact costs for curbside
pickup because the firms do not know how much they will
pickup.
The curbside pickup will include brush. yard waste and small
household items.
He said the City can use the Public Works garage as a large
item drop off point on one weekend.
He said the City will charge the cost to get rid of these
items.
Nielsen said $24.000 is budgeted for spring cleanup. He
asked if the Council wanted to use this money or charge the
residents on their sewer bills. He said Excelsior charges
$7.00 per household.

two weekends to be determined and have one weekend for large
item drop off and charge residents for the curbside pickup
up by adding this cost to their sewer bill.
