CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION AWARDING BIDS GENERAL OBLIGATION WATER REVENUE BOND, SERIES FOR THE 1995A Mr. Bob Thistle, representing Springsted Company, reported they had received seven bids for the general obligation water revenue bond at noon today. The low bid was received from Cronin and Company in conjunction with Smith Barney at 5.0239% compared to an estimate given one month ago of 5.38%. This will result in a $52,000.00 reduction in interest paid over the life of the bond. The City of Shorewood received a rating from Moodys of Ai. Moodys comments in regard to the City of Shorewood included the following: 1) Sound fiscal operation; 2) General Fund balances maintained at a favorable level; 3) Stable City tax levy in three of the last four years resulting in a reduction of the City's tax rate of 7% for the year of 1995; 4) Although a new plan to extend municipal water to all development sites over the next ten to fifteen years, infrastructure costs should not significantly increase due to the debt burden. The development costs will be financed primarily through the general obligation water revenue debt in addition to sufficient plan to make the water system self- supporting; 5) Additional borrowing for the water system will approximate $400,000.00 to $500,000.00 annually over the next five years but, based upon the City's well-defined five-year Capital Improvement Program, other projects will be primarily funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. Mr. Thistle recommended the City take the low bid from Cronin and Company. He noted a paragraph in the original resolution presented to the City Council stating. this issue would be covered by the new Disclosure Requirements has been deleted as it is not applicable in this issue. McCarty moved, Malam seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 95- 106, "A Resolution Awarding the Sale of General Obligation Water Revenue Bond, Series 1995A to Cronin and Company in Conjunction with Smith Barney at the Rate of 5.0239%." Motion passed 4/0. 6. CONSIDERATION OF DEAD-END ALTERNATIVES FOR CHRI STMAS LAKE ROAD City Engineer Brown reported staff had considered three dead-end alternatives for Christmas Lake Road. Alternative A would decrease the total width of the existing bituminous surface with crack sealing and seal coating at an estimated cost of $3,070.00. . . . . . .. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 23, 1995 PAGE 3 Al ternati ve B would remove the existing bituminous surface and construct a 12.0 foot aggregate path at an estimated cost of $2,695.00. Alternative C would restore the existing bituminous surface at an estimated cost of $1,847.50. Brown indicated staff is recommending Alternative C and anticipates it would be eight to ten years before additional restoration work would be required. Mayor Bean reported a letter had been received from Rick Dyer and Dawn Christensen offering a fourth alternative. Dawn Christensen, 6075 Brand Circle, stated she had spoke with a different source, who did not live in the City of Shorewood, and received this additional alternative. She suggested a 20 foot access for emergency vehicles be maintained using a class 5 base. Once the base was compacted, it can hold emergency vehicles of any weight. This access could then be sodded to look like a lawn. She indicated this has been done in the City of Excelsior. Her suggestion would also include surmountable curbs and a bike bath. She stated this alternative would cost a little more but all the neighbors have considered it and are in favor of it. In response to Mayor Bean, Ms. Christensen stated she would like the pylons on the Brand Circle side taken out. Ms. Christensen indicated her alternative was estimated to cost $8,000.00 to $10,000.00. She stated the reason for requesting 20 feet was to maintain emergency vehicle access. She noted she had spoke with the Fire Chief and he had indicated the emergency vehicles are eight feet wide. Therefore, an eight to ten foot wide path would need to be maintained in the winter rather than the entire twenty feet. Hurm stated the Fire Code required a minimum of twelve feet be maintained for emergency vehicle access. Brown stated Alternative B included class 5 and aggregate very similar to what Ms. Christensen was describing. He stated he had spoken with the Police Chief and was informed the only emergency medical service who was not comfortable with the barrier curbs was the Hennepin County Ambulance Service. All other emergency medical services were comfortable with barrier curbs. Terry Jensen, 6045 Brand Circle, stated the pylons put in this summer were not of uniform size or color and looked awful. She stated a curb was put in with no fill behind it which resulted in a three foot drop. She stated she felt something had to be done soon or someone would be injured. Brown indicated the Public Works Department noted some restoration is necessary but were waiting to determine the action taken by the City Council. Brown indicated a similar alternative to alternative B had been discussed at the September 25, 1995 meeting and it was his opinion that the aggregate will trap water and the bituminous will deteriorate. He stated the class 5 will do the same thing. . . . . . REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 23, 1995 PAGE 4 Ms. Christensen stated she had been told the class 5 base would let the moisture come up and would not break apart. She reiterated this has been done in the City of Excelsior. Mayor Bean indicated he would rely on staff engineering rather than information from another source. He asked if the City would be able to plow the aggregate road. Brown stated in his experience, placement of an aggregate road would require the Public Works crew to blade off and add aggregate to the surface once a year. He estimated this would cost approximately $200.00 to $300.00 per year. Mayor Bean noted that over the long run, Alternative B and Alternative C were relatively the same in cost. Mayor Bean asked the Fire Chief for his opinion. The Fire Chief indicated his concern with the amount of weight the aggregate could support and the restriction of only being able to get one vehicle in or out at one time. The Fire Chief did note that similar aggregate roads in Excelsior are working. Nielsen stated 20 feet was the minimum width required for fire access per the fire code but engineering staff was basing its opinion on the fact that the distance between Brand Circle and Christmas Lake Road was short and emergency vehicles would be able to see each other coming and allow the other to exit or enter. Mayor Bean questioned the City 's liability in this issue. City Attorney Keane stated the key question was how the access would function as determined by professional opinions of the Engineering Department and Fire Chief. Brown indicated based on his interpretation of the Fire Code, since the distance from one end of the cul-de-sac to the other was only 120 feet, he felt a twelve foot access was sufficient. The Fire Chief stated he did not feel this would cause a problem. Councilmember Benson stated he felt Alternative B was what the residents on Brand Circle wanted and the safety issue looked much better. Richard Dyer, 6070 Brand Circle stated the residents wanted the surmountable curbs. Councilmember Benson stated the City would give the residents the surmountable curbs because they are stating they do not want the pylons but want the surmountable curbs. He warned the residents that if they are given what they ask for,' not to come back and ask for a fence along the side of Christensen I s yard because people are driving on her lawn. That is why this whole thing started. He stated he was glad to correct the problem, but that the residents were making some changes now that he had a serious problem with. He was glad to do what they wanted to do but he felt they would be back again in another year when somebody turns around in Christensen I s yard because of the lack of pylons and installation of the surmountable curb. . . . . . · REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 23, 1995 PAGE 5 Mr. Dyer said uh-uh (used to indicate disagreement, disapproval, or dissatisfaction) . Ms. Christensen said okay. Councilmember Benson asked if he was right or wrong. him one way or the other. Just tell Ms. Christensen stated if it was completely sealed off on the other end, there was no way the vehicles could get in there. Councilmember Benson stated he knew but that did not particularly stop them before from going out and having fun on your yard. Ms. Christensen stated they could get through then. Councilmember Benson stated they could get through then but it was a surmountable curb, it was a tougher curb, it was a tougher curb than it is now. Okay? Ms. Christensen said okay. Councilmember Benson stated it was a four wheel vehicle, I would assume. Ms. Christensen stated they went in before it was even a curb. Ms. Johnson suggested putting a gate on that end. would not be able to get through. Then people Councilmember McCarty asked the difference in cost between surmountable curbs and barrier curbs. Brown noted the difference in cost of barrier curbs and surmountable curbs was negligible. Councilmember Benson expressed concern with the surmountable curbs as this could lead back to the problems which originally initiated this whole procedure. McCarty moved, Alternative B, Lake Road. Malam including seconded to surmountable recommend curbs, for dead-end Christmas Mayor Bean questioned if surmountable curbs should be installed on both the Christmas Lake Road end and Brand Circle end of the cul- de-sac. Brown recommended if surmountable curbs were installed at one end, they should be on both ends. McCarty on both amended ends of motion to cul-de-sac. curbs her the include surmountable Malam concurred. voting on the motion: Motion passed 4/0. Brown stated the Public Works Department would perform some restoration in the area immediately with construction of Alternative B scheduled for next Spring. 7. CONSIDERATION OF PARTICIPATION IN LIVABLE COMMUNITIES ACT WITH METROPOLITAN COUNCIL Mary Hill Smith and Hal Freshley were present to represent the Metropolitan Council in regard to the Livable Communities Act. Ms. Hill Smith explained the Legislature had passed the Livable Communities Act to give the Metropolitan Council a tool to encourage community development and assist in local housing programs. She stated she had looked at the City of Shorewood 's . . . ~ REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 23, 1995 PAGE 6 proposed resolution and was very willingness to set goals. impressed at the City's Mayor Bean read the proposed resolution into the record. Councilmember McCarty stated she was very excited to go forward with the Livable Communities Act. In Councilmember Stover's absence, Mayor Bean noted some of her concerns were the potential of adopting these goals and somehow by 1997 being forced into action which the City normally would not have done. McCarty confirmed that the requirement was to be working toward the goals set in the resolution. Ms. Hill Smith stated this was correct. Mayor Bean stated Councilmember Stover had also been concerned that the rules may change and then opting into the program would derive a greater penalty than if the City had not opted into the program at all. Mayor Bean noted there had also been frustration with regard to the discussion of the amount of funds which were available to the Metropolitan Council and that the Metropolitan Council had not yet defined the criteria by which it will grant requests for funds. Mr. Freshley indicated the total funds available in all three areas was ten to twelve million dollars. He estimated the amount available to the City of Shorewood would be approximately $14,000.00. If the City of Shorewood does not elect to sign up until the year of 1997, they will be required to have records showing the City has spent 85% of that amount to maintain housing quality in the previous year in order to be eligible to get more funds. If the City would elect to spend nothing on housing, they would be allowed to buy into the program in the year 1997 by giving 85% of the amount to another City or by putting it into the City of Shorewood's budget to develop housing. He noted the City is allowed to decide every November if they wish to continue in the program. Councilmember Malam stated he was in favor of participation in the program. Councilmember Benson stated he felt the City was accomplishing these goals very well on their own and was not comfortable in being pushed to accomplish these goals. Councilmember McCarty indicated she felt this was the right thing to do as these were the goals of the City already. She stated she felt it was good to get out there and be a leader. McCarty 107, "A Housing Livable Goals." moved, Malam seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 95- Resolution Electing to Participate in the Local Incentives Account Program Under the Metropolitan Communities Act and Setting Associated Housing Motion passed 4/0. Ms. Hill Smith reported the Metropolitan Council was in the process of a project called "Transit Redesign". She indicated one of the proposals was that the Metropolitan Council pull back on . . . . REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 23, 1995 PAGE 7 MCCO to the core area and some of the first string suburbs and allow the rest of the region to do an opt out system. She indicated her support to keep working with the City of Shorewood to solve the sewer charge problems. 8. PLANNING - Report by Representative Nielsen explained there was not a representative from the Planning Commission present this evening, as the last Planning Commission Meeting had been a Study Session to discuss the Highway 7 Corridor Study. He noted there was an open house scheduled on this issue at the Minnetrista City Offices on October 30, 1995 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. A. Conditional Use Permit for Accessory Space in Excess of 1,200 Square Feet. Applicant: Tom Wartman. Location: 28120 Boulder Bridge Drive. Nielsen reported Mr. Wartman is proposing to build an attached garage on his property at 28120 Boulder Bridge Drive. Since the area of the addition combined with an existing carriage house on the property exceeds 1,200 square feet he is requesting a conditional use permit. Nielsen indicated staff and the Planning Commission reviewed the four criteria required for granting a condi tional use permit and this request complies with all four. Nielsen stated landscaping and trees are not an issue as the proposed location of the garage is currently used for parking. Nielsen indicated the Planning Commission and staff are recommending approval of the conditional use permit subject to the standard clause stating that the space is not intended to be used for anything but residential activity and that the City has separate requirements and approvals for home occupations. Malam moved, McCarty seconded to direct staff to prepare findings of fact approving a conditional use permit for accessory space in excess of 1,200 square feet for Tom Wartman, 28120 Boulder Bridge Drive subject to staff recommendations. Motion passed 4/0. B. Preliminary Plat and Lot Width Variance Woodside 2nd Addition. Applicant: Don Peterson, representing LeGran Homes. Location: 28030 Woodside Road. Nielsen reported the applicant is requesting to divide the subject property into two lots. The lots do not conform to the R-1A/ S zoning district requirements as they are a little shy of width at the building line. The lots do achieve the 120 foot width requirement further back on the lot and widen to 160 feet at the shoreline of Lake Minnetonka. Both lots will meet the lot area requirement. The lots within one quarter mile of the proposed lots were examined and the proposed lots exceed more of the lot size requirements than many of the existing lots in that area. Items taken into consideration for granting the lot width variance were the configuration of the lot, the average lot width of 135 feet, the buildable area of both lots is adequate and an existing non-conforming structure will be removed as part of the site development. In regard to the preliminary plat, Nielsen stated the sewer easement is shown as being 50 feet wide and should be . . . REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 23, 1995 PAGE 8 corrected to 15 feet wide. The drainage and utility easements are shown as 5 feet and should be corrected to 10 feet. These corrections are to be made on the final plat. It is being recommended that a complete tree inventory be done and a tree preservation/landscape plan should be submitted as part of the final plat. Nielsen indicated staff and the Planning Commission are recommending approval of the variance and preliminary plat subject to seven stated conditions. Don Peterson, representing LeGran Homes, stated they have reviewed all the recommendations made by staff and the Planning Commission and have no problem with complying to them all. He indicated one lot has been sold, subject to City Council approval of the preliminary plat, and he would appreciate knowing when water may be available so as to avoid installation of a well if not necessary. Mayor Bean clarified the variance was being granted because the proposed lots would be consistent with other lots in the area. Nielsen indicated this was correct and also the configuration of the lot and the fact that the lot actually widens as it goes toward the lake. DeLaForest indicated he could not comment on the water issue but that they were in the process of looking at implementation and could hopefully provide an answer within two weeks.- McCarty moved, Benson seconded to direct staff to findings of fact approving a preliminary plat width variance - Woodside 2nd Addition for Don representing LeGran Homes, 28030 Woodside Road staff recommendations. prepare and lot Peterson, subj ect to Mayor Bean noted there appeared to be a small outbuilding encroaching the lakeshore. Nielsen indicated this was the foundation of an old boathouse. He stated it may do more damage to the site to remove the foundation and the new owner may run their dock system off that foundation. Nielsen noted there was a large old garage on the northeast corner of tne site which will be removed as part of the plat. Councilmember Malam questioned a small shed to the south. Nielsen indicated that was owned by a neighbor and would be removed. Voting on the motion: Motion passed 4/0. C. preliminary Plat - McCary Addition. representing Thomas and Mary McCary. Road. Applicant: Location: Carl Zinn, 6010 Ridge Nielsen reported the McCarys wish to divide the property located between Christmas Lake and Silver Lake. Both proposed lots would exceed the lot area requirement. The small lot will contain 61,230 square feet of area and the larger lot 84,970 square feet of area. Nielsen explained the City has adopted a bluff impact requirement as part of the Shoreland regulations. The home site shown on the plat complies with the bluff impact regulations. The staff report identifies a contour through the lot from which a 20 . . . . . . REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 23, 1995 PAGE 9 foot setback is required. The applicant has requested and staff agrees that his surveyor accurately locate the exact extent of the bluff on that slope and depict that on the survey so that any drawing from here on out would simply refer to that. This would be considerably more accurate and easier to locate on the field as well. Staff has asked the developer to show how building pad access can be achieved with an 8% maximum grade and a maximum slope of 3:1. Nielsen reported he has since received new drawings which he has been informed do accomplish this. The vacant lot has no lot coverage and the existing lot has coverage of 24%. This particular property is heavily wooded and staff is recommending tree replacement, as the policy currently requires, is not relative as there probably is not enough open area to put trees back into. Staff is recommending rather than concentrate on tree replacement, that any construction of a home and access concentrate on landscaping of the retaining walls necessary to construct the access. Under current policy the new lot is subject to a $5,000.00 trunk water charge. This area has been identified as an area which will be difficult to serve with City water. Nielsen noted if it is determined that this area will be not be served by City water, possibly some abatement will be made. Nielsen indicated the Planning Commission and staff are recommending approval of the preliminary plat subject to a number of conditions. In regard to Condition 7, Nielsen reported he and the City Attorney will look into this issue to determine if the requirements can be recorded in some other form than a protective covenant. Councilmember Malam asked Mr. Zinn what he would prefer in regard to the water trunk charge. Mr. Zinn suggested putting the $5,000.00 in a bond or some other form so that cash up front would not be required. Nielsen suggested the amount could be assessed and if it was determined City water would not be made available, the assessment could be abated. Mr. Zinn agreed with this approach. Mayor Bean asked why the Planning Commission had recommended approval on a 4/3 vote. Nielsen explained the members of the Planning Commission who voted against were uncomfortable with the number of issues left to be resolved as part of the final plat. Nielsen noted this was part of the preliminary plat process to point out issues which needed to be resolved before a final plat would be approved. Benson moved, Malam seconded to direct staff to prepare findings of fact approving a preliminary plat McCary Addition for Carl Zinn, representing Thomas and Mary McCary, 6010 Ridge Road subject to' staff recommendations and resolution of Condition 7 subject to staff satisfaction. Motion passed 4/0. 9. CONSIDERATION OF REGARDING WATERMAIN AN AMENDMENT ASSESSMENTS TO SECTION 9.03 Hurm explained staff has been meeting for the past several months to discuss areas of the special assessment ordinance which require clarification. Hurm explained the changes made in the language of the ordinance. Keane explained changes had been made to make this , . . . . . REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 23, 1995 PAGE 10 a more user-friendly ordinance. the changes made to the mixed use Finance Director Rolek explained category. Malam 306, City City moved, McCarty seconded to "An Ordinance Amending Chapter Code Regarding Assessment Policy Water". Motion passed 4/0. approve Ordinanc e No. 903 of the Shorewood for the provision 0 f 10. ADMINISTRATOR AND STAFF REPORTS A. Report by Administrator on Request for Refund from the LMCD. Hurm indicated staff had been contacted by the LMCD to inform them they should request a refund in the amount of $1,100.00. B. Establish Work Session Dates City Council Work Session dates were scheduled for November 6, 1995 and November 20, 1995. It was determined, if needed, another Work Session could be scheduled for November 27, 1995. C. Review Snowmobile Task Force Expectations Hurm reported the Snowmobile Task Force had met on September 25, October 2, and October 16. Upcoming meetings are scheduled for November 3, November 7 and November 20. The Task Force has determined five major problem areas to be noise, speed, curfew issues, safety issues and property damage. These issues will be addressed in regard to the regional trail, public right-of-way, wetlands and private property. Hurm noted the Task Force may incur some expenses in obtaining data. Another possibility discussed by the Task Force which may be costly, is the installation of a telephone line at City Hall for residents to call and report problems and complaints. Hurm explained this would be appropriate as the City is in need of another telephone line anyway. Another item which would require funding would be conducting a survey. There was Council consensus that the Snowmobile Task Force was headed in the right direction and there was willingness to fund projects if need be to achieve a thorough result. Mayor Bean recessed the meeting at 9:30 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 9:37 p.m. Brown reported construction is continuing on the Boulder Bridge and Badger Field water system. He stated the Smithtown Road project is also starting. He reported a notice has been set to residents on the Boulder Bridge system that water will be shut down on October 26, 1995 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. to allow for the connection to the 16 inch water main along Smithtown Road. He stated the affected portion of the City will be residents on the Boulder Bridge system between the Beverly Drive neighborhood and the Shorewood Oaks neighborhood. In response to Councilmember McCarty, Brown indicated the Howard's Point project had been delayed due to the weather. Restoration of '- . . . . . REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 23, 1995 PAGE 11 the roadway was expected to begin as soon as the weather allows. He noted there is material piled up to the side of the trench but the contractor is making every effort to keep the site safe and the traffic flowing through the area. Brown noted the contractor and OSM Engineering are working on a detour plan for Smithtown Road. Closure of the roadway will be kept to an absolute minimum. DeLaForest indicated the current schedule for Smi thtown Road l.S calling for completion in November, depending on the weather. He stated a crew will be moving on to Smithtown Road yet this week. He reported a change order will be presented at the City Council meeting of November 13, 1995 as a result of poor soil conditions encountered on Howard I s Point Road. DeLaForest explained that when the trench was excavated, the soil was extremely unstable and wet. The contractor had to use rock and filter fabric to segregate the rock from the soil to support the pipe. This may add a cost to the project of $20,000.00 to $25,000.00. At that same meeting, a report will be made dealing with the reduction in cost for the fittings as previously discussed. This could result in a $40,000.00 reduction in project costs. There is also the possibility that the construction along Smithtown Road may not require the pavement restoration as projected. DeLaForest stated there is still the opportunity to stay within budget and possibility come in under budget. DeLaForest reported he has had discussion with the City Engineer of Victoria in regard to the City of Shorewood providing water service to the northeast portion of the City. This would serve the Swiss Mountain Development. This development will include approximately 70 new lots. The development is looking at 30 lots in 1996, 30 lots in 1997, and the remaining lots in 1998. The City of Victoria has a small hydro-pneumatic system along Smithtown Road that will not be adequate to provide service to the new development. If service is provided, they would require a connection by July 4, 1996. This would require a 12 inch watermain to be run along Smithtown Road to the City of Victoria border and establishment of a mass meter system. There was Council consensus that this was a good opportunity. There was Council direction to staff to develop an outline of the alternatives, time frame and costs and to inform the City of Victoria in the interim that this possibility looks favorable. DeLaForest indicated the City Council of Victoria is also interested in this project. 13. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL REPORTS Mayor Bean reported the discussion of the Minnewashta Water Tower site by the School Board is scheduled for November 2, 1995. Nielsen reminded the Council of the open house relating to Highway 7 Corridor Study which is scheduled on October 30, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Minnetrista City Offices. the 1995 Councilmember McCarty noted the Park Foundation had scheduled the next Park Festival for September 21, 1996. , .. . . . . REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 23, 1995 - PAGE 12 A. Pursuing Legal Action to Acquire Seized Property The Council discussed the subj ect of forfeiture of vehicles l.n relation to criminal matters. There was consideration of who would incur the costs of prosecution and who would be entitled to the benefits. There was Council consensus to obtain more information relative as to what level of action this would represent. There was Council consensus that they were more apt to lean toward pursuit of full punishment under the law to the extent that it makes sense. B. Charging for Nuisance Calls There was Council consensus to support this concept and it was noted that the City of Shorewood does have a policy similar to this in effect presently. 14. ADJOURNMENT TO WORK SESSION FORMAT SUBJECT TO APPROVAL OF CLAIMS Benson moved, McCarty seconded to meeting at 10:31 p.m., subject Motion passed 4/0. adjourn the to approval City of Council claims.
