DISCUSSION ON LENGTH OF TERM FOR PARK AND PLANNING COMMISSIONS
Councilmember Stover referred to the January 8. 1992 memo from
Administrator Hurm regarding Planning and Park Commission terms
of office. She referenced the last line of the Selection of
Planning Commission Members, "Commissioners would then be chosen
based on this written questionnaire and oral interviews, on how
well the City Council feels they reflect the Council's views
and philosophy." Stover said the Planning Commission should not
be a political body. She said a good Planning Commission should
not be tied to the Councilor to the Council's philosophy.
The memo stated the Council has the authority to remove a member
for cause. Stover said the Council should realize the Planning
~I?

Commission members are all volunteers and it is a slap in the face
to limit their terms, She said the Planning Commission thinks
area representation from a broad area is an advantage,
Stover stated there are seven Planning Commission members, at
the present time, two of those members have served less than
one month, one less than one year, one has resigned and one is
moving, She said the remaining two members have such longevity
on the Commission that they will be affected by the proposed
term limit,
Councilmember Gagne added that it took him six months to figure
out the workings of the Planning Commission, when he served on it
and he said the Council should leave the Planning Commission terms
as is,
Councilmember Daugherty agreed with Stover's assessment of the
Planning Commission members as hard working volunteers who are
valuable for their experience,
However, he said, every three years, the Council should ask for
open reappointments including the current Planning Commission
member, In this way, the Council can see who is interested in the
position.
Mayor Brancel agreed with Daugherty.
Councilmember Lewis said he did not look at the change in terms
as getting rid of experienced members but allowing new people to
become involved in the Planning Commission,
Stover said the Council has asked Planning Commission members to
reapply every year and has always had the discretion to appoint
anyone they wish. She objects to the questionnaire requiring a
potential Planning Commission member's views and philosophy to
reflect the Council's.
Stover said the Islands need separate representation on the
Planning Commission, She said a topic was discussed at the last
Planning Commission meeting which was directly related to the
Islands, Stover told the Council that the Planning Commission
members become liaisons to the community. Many residents feel
they can discuss their concerns with the Commissioners. The
Planning Commissioners consider the consequences of their decisions
on a City wide basis as well as their own area.
She said the population of Shorewood has shifted and perhaps the
areas should be redefined.
Brancel asked for direction from the Council.
Lewis thought an area specific requirement desirable but not a
requirement.
Daugherty said the City is still small enough that there aren't
a lot of issues to be debated. He does not want to turn down an

applicant with planning experience because they do not live ln the
right area.
Gagne said he wants to stick with the area representation.
Brancel said she is against area representation except for the
Islands.
Lewis said he will vote for the most qualified individual and the
specific area will not take precedence.
The Council agreed to request applicants for the expired seats on
Park and Planning Commissions seats and require the current
Commissioner to reapply
The Council agreed to continue the area requirement.
Hurm asked if they wanted any specific qualifications. The Council
agreed to just require a letter from each applicant. He said the
City will advertise the positions in the newspaper and return with
applicants in about 3 to 4 weeks.
Lewis reiterated that they are changing this policy to allow more
interested residents to apply and not to force any current members
off the Planning Commission.

5. COMMISSION REPORTS:
A. Planning Commission
Council Liaison Stover reported that the Planning Commission
recommended reappointing Chairman Bruce Benson. Vice-Chairman
David Pitney resigned in 1991 and the Commission recommended
appointing Janet Leslie as Vice-Chairman.
Stover said there was an informal discussion with the Upper
Lake Minnetonka Yacht Club regarding their proposal to build
a club house on their property. She said their property is
zoned for a 75' lakefront setback. The City Planner believes
this is an error because all other setbacks on the Lake are
50' and he will ask for a Public Hearing in February to change
the setback.
She said the Kowalsky Variance, which is on the Council agenda,
was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission.
The proposed Ordinance Amending Chapter 1201.19 of the City Code.
which has been postponed was recommended for denial.

Councilmember Gagne asked Administrator Hurm to write the Christmas
Lake Homeowners Association advising them of the expiration of the
motor limitation.
Stover asked if the City has any control over the motor limitation
or if the DNR has the only jurisdiction.
Planner Nielsen said it is unusual for restrictions to be placed on
people launching boats on a lake and not on the entire lake. He
said the DNR has make it clear that any new restrictions will apply
to all the lake.
LMCD Representative Bob Rascop said the City will have to work with
Chanhassen if they want to put their own Ordinance in place and the
Ordinance must work for all people on the lake.
City Attorney Sellergren agreed. He said a Lake Surface Zoning
Ordinance can be established with Chanhassen, however, it must be
equal for all residents.
6. A MOTION DIRECTING STAFF TO PREPARE FINDINGS OF FACT - SETBACK
VARIANCE
Applicant:
Location:
Richard Kowalsky
5740 Christmas Lake Point
Nielsen presented the Kowalsky request.
He explained that the Kowalsky house is located entirely within the
75-foot setback from Christmas Lake. Consequently, any structural
alteration to the home requires a variance.
The Kowalskys propose to lower the floor elevations of various
rooms in the bottom level of the home so that the rooms comply
with building code requirements. This work will all be done
within the existing footprint of the home. Nielsen said they will
be adding additional bedrooms for their family.
The applicant also proposes to enclose the area under the deck
on the north end of the house to be used as a two car garage.
The Kowalskys' proposal is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance
which provides that alterations may be made to nonconforming
structures as long as the nonconformity is not increased.
Nielsen stated the Planning Commission recommended the applicants
request be granted subject to the conditions stated in his memo of
January 2, 1992.
Stover moved. Gagne seconded to approve the preparation of Findings of
Fact for a Variance to Expand a Nonconforming Structure/Setback Variance
subject to the Planner1s recommendations.

7. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 902 OF THE SHOREWOOD CITY CODE
ADOPTING ANNUAL METER READINGS
Administrator Hurm stated the changes in the amended Ordinance
include the change of date to May 20, 1993 after which the resident
is responsible for reporting any difference in meter readings. A
rate charge of $5.00 was established for not reporting the
difference.
Daugherty moved, Gagne seconded to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 249 "An Ordinance
Amending Chapter 902 of the Shorewood City Code Adopting Annual Meter
Readings II .
Motion carried - 5/0
8. PROPOSED ORDINANCE APPROVING THE SCHEDULE OF MUNICIPAL FEES 1992
Hurm presented the Ordinance establishing municipal fees for 1992.
He said this Ordinance will incorporate all fees into one location.
The $5.00 water rate charge and sewer charge will be incorporated
into this Ordinance.
. Stover asked if the fee for the Final Plat (subdivision) is
based on what it costs the City and if it applies to one lot
subdivision.
Nielsen said a Final Plat fee would apply to a division resulting
in more than three lots. This fee attempts to recover the City's
cost.
Brancel said the Council needs to direct the Staff to include the
$5.00 water fee and the sewer and water rate charges. The Council
agreed.
Lewis moved, Gagne seconded to approve an Ordinance Amending or
Establishing City License, Permit, Service Charges and Miscellaneous
Fees.
Motion carried - 5/0

PRESENTATION OF FINAL REPORT - RESEARCH QUIK - SHOREWOOD SURVEY
ON MUNICIPAL WATER
.
Judith Marshik of Research Quik passed out errata sheets to the
Council. She said two errors have been detected. On page 4, the
figures were transposed. A table error on page 6 was detected.
.
.
.
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
JANUARY 13, 199~ - PAGE 8
Marshik reported that 200 citizens were surveyed on Municipal
Water and 138 households were interviewed. The error in the survey
is between 4 & 7%.
She said there was a statistical difference in response between
well users and city water users. There was more support from
current City water users.
She asked the analyst to do one more test for affluence and there
was a correlation between those who support a municipal system and
higher income.
A significant difference was detected between those who are recent
residents and those who are older residents. Recent residents
tended to support the system.
She said there was no difference in opinion by zones.
A major investment in a well made no statistical difference in
their opinion.
She said a change in the City wide system of water is not broadly
supported. She said 43% supported the change and 54% opposed with
a 7% error.
The major reason given for opposition to the system was the overall
cost of the system and there were comments on increased taxes.
Those who supported the changes in the water system felt the
water quality would increase and there would be a financially
stable system in the long run.
Many residents already treated their water, (93% softened their
water and 33% treated for iron).
She said the issues were complex. Many citizens were confused.
They were told to call the City.
The City has a tradition of opposition to a City water system.
Marshik listed some of the objections to the water system:
1. Many residents objected to the Capital Cost.
2. Residents were concerned about low and fixed income citizens.
3. Citizens thought the conversion period should be longer.
4. They asked for different financing arrangements.
Marshik's final comment concerned the two distinct markets in the
City. One has a City background and one has a rural background.
Twenty-five percent of the respondents have relocated to Shorewood
in the past five years.
Brancel asked if there were any questions.
Gagne commended Marshik for her work on the survey.

. 10. LMCD - ZEBRA MUSSEL - ROBERT RASCOP
Rascop said he would like the City's recommendation regarding the
LMCD'S Zebra Mussel plan.
Brancel said they have not had the information long enough to
reach a consensus.
Rascop asked the City to write a letter of objection to the DNR
regarding snowmobile lettering. He said snowmobile license numbers
have always appeared in 3 inch black letters. The DNR proposes to
replace this with smaller lettering. He said this type of
lettering will make it impossible to stop violators.
Daugherty asked why the DNR was changing the lettering.
Rascop read the letter from the DNR and stated that snowmobile
dealers were asking for the change in lettering, not the police
departments.
Stover moved. Gagne seconded to direct the City Administrator to draft
a letter to the DNR asking them to continue the use of 3 inch black
lettering for snowmobile licenses.
Motion carried - 5/0.
. 11. REVIEW SNOWMOBILE ORDINANCE (ORDINANCE 245) AND APPROVE LETTER OF
UNDERSTANDING
JOHN HODGDON. SOUTH LAKE PUBLIC SAFETY said they have nine
volunteers for the Snow Patrol.
He said officers have been working the trails this winter. There
have been a minimum number of complaints.
Gagne said there has been pressure to shut down the snowmobiling.
He said he has had many phone calls.
Brancel said the Council has agreed to the Snow Patrol.
Hodgdon said the Police Dept. will investigate the volunteers and
train them. He said the training will be in what not to do.
Lewis agreed to start the patrol with nine volunteers. He said a
question in the water survey asked whether residents
wanted the trail used by snowmobilers. He said 37.5% were for
snowmobiles and 54% opposed.
Stover asked if the phrase "on the way home after 2:00" can be
eliminated from the Ordinance.
.
Hodgdon said there are not enough officers to apprehend people at
2:00 in the morning. He said they can snowmobile on Lake
Minnetonka and Carver County after 2:00 A.M. Hodgedon said the
law must be reasonable. He said the City is getting to the point
of putting a time limit on snowmobiling, then they should stop
it altogether.

Gagne moved. Stover seconded to approve the Letter Of Understanding with
the Shorewood Snow Patrol.
Motion carried - 5/0.
Brancel said a copy can be obtained at City Hall.
12. DISCUSSION ON SORENSON SIGNAGE REQUEST
Applicant:
Location:
John Sorenson
Vine Hill Road
Mr. Sorenson asked the City to install bright orange markers on
the speed signs on Vine Hill Road.
Hodgdon said the Police Department has no objection to the markers.
He said the only objection to the markers is that their
effectiveness is lost when many people request them. They also
fade. Hodgdon said the City can install larger speed signs.
Gagne asked if speeders are a frequent problem on Vine Hill Road.
Hodgdon said he does not have figures available, but there are many
speed complaints on the road and a lot of time is spent there.
Stover asked if Minnetonka will have to cooperate in this. Hodgdon
said they do cooperate.
Lewis said the markers will draw the attention of drivers on Vine
Hill Road.
The Council agreed to install the markers.
Lewis moved. Gagne seconded to add orange markers on speed signs on Vine
Hill Road and advise the City of Minnetonka of the markers.
Motion carried - 5/0
14. ACTION ON RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE TRANSPORTATION TASK FORCE FOR
STUDYING TRAFFIC CONTROL ON OLD MARKET ROAD
James Berdahl. Old Market Road Task Force presented the final
recommendations of the Task Force.
1. Based on information provided by Staff, Task Force withdraws
recommendation to close Old Market Road South of water Tower.
2. Reduce speed along Old Market Road/Covington to 25 MPH.
3.

.
4.
Install Children Crossing signs at strategic locations along
Old Market Road/Covington.
5. Revise Compo Plan for Covington/Vine Hill intersection to
maintain current "T" configuration.
Stover said Exhibit C indicates No Left Turn from Covington onto
Vine Hill Road. She asked why. Berdahl said the Task Force would
like to maintain the current "T" configuration.
Lewis said recommendation # 1 was originally tied to the Vine Hill
Road reconstruction. He said MnDot was quick to respond to this
idea.
He said MnDot will not reconstruct Vine Hill until 1993-94. He
encouraged the City to recommend MnDot not drop the Vine Hill
reconstruction.
Lewis said a lot of effort was expended by Task Force members and
these recommendations are tamed down. He said the safety of
the neighbors was their main consideration.
Lewis also encouraged the Council to include Task Force members
early in a project.
.
Hodgdon said the State must approve a 25 MPH speed limit. He said
if a bike path is placed on the road the speed limit can be
reduced.
Lewis said he has seen many 25 MPH speed limits in Minnetonka.
Hodgdon said 30 MPH is the legal limit.
Stover asked what would happen if the City put up 25 MPH signs.
Hodgdon said they will be enforced at 30.
Stover said the bike path could be dangerous but it would legalize
a 25 MPH sign.
Berdahl said, if the City installs bike paths, they should be done
by the time Old Market Road is opened.
BREAK - 9:10 TO 9:25
Stover stated the City should install 25 MPH speed signs on Old
Market Road/Covington Road and later install a bike path to make
them legal.
Lewis moved, Gagne seconded to adopt the recommendations of the Old
Market Road Task Force and add an on street bicycle path on Old Market
Road.
Motion carried - 5/0
.
Lewis said the bicycle path may affect the Silverwood Park wetland
area.
Hurm said the trail will be on the street.
Lewis asked if Covington Road will be as wide a road as Old Market.
Hurm said the Council decides the width of roads within the City.
Lewis asked Engineer Dresel if Covington will encroach on the
Silverwood wetland.

Stover said the total budget for the position is $75,000 with $42
to $48,000 as Engineer salary. She agreed with the combination of
Engineering and Public Works and that an Engineer may be needed
some day. The position of Staff Engineer was discussed at a time
when it was thought the City would be installing City water. Since
that will not occur, the position is not justified.
Lewis said the City will be complete in a few years and he
questioned the need for a consulting Engineer at a high hourly
rate. He does not believe the discussion of the position was tied
to City water installation and said the position is merited.
Daugherty said he agreed to hire an Engineer with the proviso that
the position would be reviewed before an Engineer was hired.
He asked Engineer Dresel if he is involved in a lot of detail work
with the City and asked how this would impact him.
Dresel said a Staff Engineer would make his job easier. He said he
makes two to three calls a day which he does not bill.
Daugherty said the City should analyze other years for Engineering
cost such as 1985 or 1986 and do a full year analysis of 1990 and
1991. Hurm said that would be a lot of work.
Finance Director Rolek said 1985 - 1991 were peak building years
and the Council may wish to look at years prior to 1985, in which
there was less activity.
Lewis insisted the Staff consider today's figures because the City
has new needs and new building. It is a new City.
Daugherty did not agree with Lewis' argument and said the City will
not continue to develop at the same rate. He wanted to feel the
position makes sense.
Dresel said he could develop a break down of Staff Engineering jobs
and Consulting Engineering jobs.
Hurm said the Staff could reanalyze 1991 and one other year and
run the comparisons Dresel suggested.
Gagne said he is totally against a Staff Engineering position.
Lewis said he wants a unanimous decision.
Daugherty asked Stover what she wants analyzed.
Stover said she would like to see the comparisons Dresel suggested.
Brancel suggested the Council discuss the Engineering position at
their last meeting in January.
Daugherty agreed and wanted the discussion resolved at that
meeting.

Dresel said the wetland is regulated.
Sellergren said currently there is no distinction between the right
to fill or not fill. However, the wetland bill is currently being
rewritten.
Lewis said this matter should be directed to the Park Commission.
Brancel asked if the Council had an opinion on "No Parking" on Old
Market Road. Nielsen said "No Parking" on Old Market should go
hand in hand with the bicycle path.
Daugherty stated within 30 to 60 days after Old Market Road is
opened the City should obtain help from the Task Force.
Lewis agreed the area neighbors should have additional input.
16. DISCUSSION ON CITY STAFF ENGINEERING POSITION
Brancel said the Council had already voted to hire a City Engineer.
Daugherty and Gagne disagreed.
Brancel asked Sellergren for an opinion. She said there was a 3/2
vote at the budget hearing to budget money to hire a City Engineer
but not to post the position until the Council agrees it is
warranted.
Gagne said any prospective Engineer should be told he is against
hiring a City Engineer because it is too expensive.
Stover agreed with Gagne.
Sellergren said there is money in the budget for an Engineer but
the Council has not agreed to hire one yet.
Lewis said the City has spent over $100,000 per year for the past
three years for Engineering services. A budget of $73,000 for a
City Engineer is considerably less.
Stover said the Engineer is just part of the cost. A consulting
Engineer will still be needed.
Hurm reviewed his memo of January 10, 1992 regarding the Staff
Engineering position. Hurm stated the position is intended to
improve efficiency of the City operation and any cost savings are
"icing on the cake".
Hurm worked closely with Public Works Director Zdrazil to create
the job description. He said it is important to note that the
position title will be Engineerl Assistant Public Works Director,
so that there will be an easy transition upon the retirement of
Zdrazil.
Gagne said the Staff used the three highest construction years in
Shorewood, 89,90,91 to justify this Engineering position. He said
the expenditure for an Engineer, at this time, is excessive.

City Policy - Video Taping
Hurm suggested Executive Sessions and Council Work
Sessions should not be video taped.
He said no formal Council decisions are made at
Work Sessions and the round table format for discussion
is not compatible with television broadcast requirements.
Stover asked how many works sessions and how many Council
meetings are proposed.
Hurm said the second meeting of the month could be a
work session. The meeting could still have a Consent
Agenda and Council actions. That part would be taped.
Brancel and Gagne thought all meetings should be taped.
Brancel said she had initiated the taping of all meetings
however, if it is the will of the Council she will agree
to only tape regular Council meetings.
Lewis moved, Daugherty seconded to adopt the Council taping
Policy as follows:
It is the Policy of the City of Shorewood that all regular
and special City Council meetings shall be video recorded for
broadcasting on the local access cable television channel.
