Motion passed 4/0. • 4. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR - None. 3H. Consideration of a Motion Making an Appointment to the Park Commission Councilmember McCarty stated the City Council had interviewed two people for the opening on the Park Commission and either one of the applicants would be a fantastic addition. She stated she felt that Ken Dallman, Commander and President of the American Legion, could bring a different perspective to the Commission as he has grown children. Many of the Commissioners are parents of younger children and it would be helpful to obtain the viewpoint of the "adult- only" group. Mayor Bean stated he agreed with Councilmember McCarty and saw this as an opportunity to diversify the perspective of the Park Commission. He also encouraged the other applicant, Kerry Mullen, to maintain an interest and possibly pursue some other involvement with the City. Councilmember Malam stated he agreed that both applicants were great and asked Kerry Mullen to please stay involved. McCarty moved, Malam seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 9 6 -10. "A Resolution Appointing Ken Dallman to the Park Commission for a Three Year Term Through the Year of 1998" and appointing Roxanne Martin as Chairperson and Bill Colopoulos as Vice Chairperson of the Park Commission for the year of 1996. Motion passed 4/0. I REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES January 22, 1996 - PAGE 3 5. PLANNING - Report by Representative Nielsen explained there was no report as the January 16, 1996 meeting of the Planning Commission was a joint meeting with the City Council. A. Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Setback Variance for Karla Peterson. Applicant: Karla Peterson. Location: 21095 Forest Drive. Nielsen reported Karla Peterson owns the property located at 21095 Forest Drive and is requesting approval of a setback variance to construct an enclosed wheelchair ramp to connect the existing home to the existing garage. The existing garage is located entirely within the rear yard setback area and the proposed ramp will encroach 30 feet into the rear yard setback. Nielsen noted the site is located in the R -ID, Single - Family Residential District. The property contains approximately 31,097 square feet of area and is occupied by numerous mature hardwood trees. One rationale for approving the variance is that to move the existing garage to the buildable area of the lot would result in numerous trees having to be removed. The Planning Commission requested a landscape plan be provided and the applicant has done so. Staff and the Planning Commission are recommending approval of the variance with some additional trees to be located on the east side of the structure to soften the view from adjoining properties and a letter of credit or cash escrow to ensure the landscaping is completed by July 1, 1996. Bill Strong, Sawhorse Designers / Builders, stated the applicant had to have the ramp. He showed the Councilmembers a drawing of the site illustrating where the trees were to be planted. He stated Ms. Peterson intends to do the required landscaping but asks for leniency on the issue of having to put into escrow an amount of 150% of the cost of landscaping. He stated he felt due to the abundant trees on the property already, there was little if any landscaping which needed to be done to screen the structure. He noted the applicant was willing to do the landscaping but due to the immense amount of money put into remodeling and landscaping, he felt it would be redundant to have to put an amount of 150% the cost of landscaping into escrow for something they were doing anyway. He stated the applicant had a tentative verbal agreement with a contractor to do the landscaping. He believed the work was guaranteed for five years. He stated he did not feel a cash escrow for 150% of the cost of landscaping or a letter of credit was necessary. He noted he had spoke with two banks who had indicated they would not give a letter of credit. Mayor Bean asked what the estimated cost of the landscaping was. Nielsen stated it was approximately $1,200.00. Mr. Strong stated the $1,200.00 was for three white pines. He noted Nielsen has requested an additional white pine and the landscape contractor has stated he doesn't know where he can locate another tree without possibly damaging the existing trees. Nielsen noted the $1,200.00 estimate includes the three white pines but does not include the additional pine and foundation plantings. Susan Hagel, 21095 Forest Drive, noted they intend to complete the foundation plantings themselves. She stated they could however, sign a contract for the company to do all the landscaping. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES January 22, 1996 - PAGE 4 16 Nielsen stated the Ci ty was not asking person do all the work but the escrow g that one P amount has to cover the entire landscaping plan to ensure that the work is completed. Mayor Bean asked if the staff could route Mr. Strong to a bank which will give a letter of credit. Nielsen stated staff could do so. Mr. Strong stated the applicant needed to receive approval to go forward tonight. Ms. Peterson has sold her house, is closing and planning to move into the property at 21095 Forest Drive on January 29, 1996. She cannot move in without the ramp. Councilmember Malam asked if Sawhorse has any bonding available. Mr. Strong stated he could talk to the owner to see if Sawhorse would be willing to provide a letter of guarantee. Nielsen indicated the City tries to avoid this type of situation due to the legal risks. Mr. Strong stated he felt Sawhorse would provide a letter of credit because of the good understanding between client and contractor. He stated the applicant intends to move into the house for the rest of her life and the house has been in the family for 60 -70 years. Councilmember Malam stated he understood the difficulties but the ordinance is in place and the Council has to be consistent. Councilmember McCarty stated the Council does have to be consistent but does not want to deny someone access to their house. • Councilmember Benson stated the applicant has been trying to obtain this variance since November. He felt in some ways the City had imposed this difficulty by not having meetings, etc. Nielsen noted one option available was to withhold the certificate of occupancy. This option would not be applicable in this situation. Nielsen then suggested obtaining a waiver of assessment. If the work is not completed by July 1, 1996, the City will complete the work and assess the cost to the property. If the work is completed the assessment will be removed and not certified in 1996. City Attorney Keane stated if the work is not completed by July 1, 1996, the City has the authorization to assess the cost of the work with a waiver of the right to appeal and the right to enter the property and do the work. Benson moved, McCarty seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO 96 -11, "A Resolution Granting a Setback Variance to Karla Peterson, 21095 Forest Drive," and direct staff to prepare a waiver of assessment and a right to enter property if the landscaping is not completed by July 1, 1996. Motion passed 4/0. B. Consideration of a Resolution Approving the Concept Plan for Water's Edge Planned Unit Development. Applicant: Bill Blegen. Location: 20295 Manor Road. Nielsen reported the resolution includes all the conditions set forth in the previous staff • report. The property will be divided into four lots, platting Lots 1 and 2 at this time and leaving Lot 3 and 4 as a single lot. The resolution includes conservation easements to REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES January 22, 1996 - PAGE 5 i protect sensitive portions of the site from development and construction, plans for access to the sites, requirement of a tree preservation and reforestation plan, water assessments, wetland conservation easements and protective covenants. The planned unit development process will enhance the protection of the wetland portions of the site near Footprint Lake and the steep wooded topography on the south edge of the property. Malam moved, McCarty seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 96 -12. "A Resolution Approving the Concept Plan for Water's Edge Planned Unit Development, Bill Blegen, 20295 Manor Road." Motion passed 410. C. Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Final Plat - Zachary Woods. Applicant: Brent Sinn. Location: 6035 Galpin Lake Road. Nielsen reported Brent Sinn owns the property located at 6035 Galpin Lake Road which also has frontage on the private road Galpin Lane. Mr. Sinn has been unable to obtain easement to the private road and has changed his plat from four to three lots. A large lot remains which is capable of being further subdivided. The subdivision could happen in a number of different ways. Mr. Sinn or a future owner may be able to negotiate an easement and could come back and request the same variance, a City street could be built off Galpin Lake Road, or access could be provided by the parcel to the east. Staff is suggesting the development stage plan include a declaration of covenant to advise any future owner that the larger lot cannot be subdivided unless the new lots have frontage on a public street. The development will be subject to the City's water policy. Water is not currently available to the site. Two lots will be subject to a trunk charge and will be subject to the water assessment when water is available. Nielsen indicated staff is recommending approval of the final plat subject to staff recommendations. Brent Sinn, 6035 Galpin Lake Road, stated this situation has occurred because he was unable to obtain an easement from the Galpin Lane Homeowner's Association. He stated he had originally agreed to a declaration of covenant stating that the parcel could not be developed without access because the land would have been landlocked. The conditions have since changed. He did not agree with including a stipulation that the property can only be developed if a street was put in when the City Council had previously approved the lot to exist without street frontage. He noted it would be difficult to subdivide and there were only a couple ways to do so. He did not feel it was his obligation to notify future property owners. The information should be available through the City. He noted in the future someone may be successful in negotiations with the Galpin Lane Homeowner's Association and they would then be forced to come to the City Council and ask to have the declaration of covenant removed. He stated he was not asking for any special conditions. All the lots have 100 feet of frontage and 20,000 square feet of area. He felt it was not his responsibility to put people who purchase the parcel on notice of what they can or can't do. Nielsen stated the development was really a disappointment from a planning standpoint. Initially this was the ultimate development site. The first attempt at development had required a significant amount of site alteration and the neighbors were not happy with the layout. The next plan limited development, eliminated the necessity of a street going in and bent the City's rule to allow a home on a private road. This was done to avoid significant site alteration. As the plan stands now it is piece meal. If in fact the property is subdivided in the future and a variance is requested the declaration of covenant can be removed at that time. The declaration of covenant will not preclude subdivision of the property. The purpose of the declaration of covenant is to make any future buyer aware of the situation. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES January 22, 1996 - PAGE 6 • Mr. Sinn stated he felt it was misleading to include the declaration of covenant when a variance was already approved. Councilmember Malam stated a future owner could come before the City Council and ask to have the declaration of covenant changed. Mayor Bean asked why Mr. Sinn did not want this information disclosed to a future buyer. Mr. Sinn stated it gave a false pretense. Councilmember Malam stated it was an accurate statement for where the City is at this time with this piece of property. Mr. Sinn asked the City Council to treat this parcel of property like any other parcel of property. He stated if he decides to sell the property it will appear it can only be sub- divided if there is proper street frontage. It gives the impression the only way to develop the parcel is to install a cul -de -sac. Councilmember Malam stated he did not think this was a hindrance to the future sale of the property. The declaration of covenant will not preclude a buyer from coming to the City Council and requesting a variance. Nielsen noted Mr. Sinn can advise potential buyers that a variance was approved by the City Council in 1995. Mr. Sinn stated concern that it gives the impression that this is the only way the property can be developed. He felt it would be twice as much work for an owner and the City because it would require two actions and meetings. One meeting to remove the declaration of covenant and one to approve the variance. Mayor Bean stated the City has an opportunity to be sure a future owner will understand the circumstances inherent to the property. Malam moved, Benson seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO 96-13, "A Resolution Approving the Final Plat of Zachary Woods, Brent Sinn, 6035 Galpin Lake Road" with the restrictive covenants as they are currently written. Motion passed 4/0. D. Consideration of a Proposed Amendment to the Seasons Declaration of Covenants Keane noted the additions to this document included the Association being required to distribute copies of all self - certification notices, policies and procedures, and any amendments to these documents to the City of Shorewood and the inclusion of the consensus of the mortgagee of interest at the time it was actually filed and recorded. McCarty moved, Malam seconded to approve the amendment to the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions of (CIC No. 700) the Seasons. Motion passed 4/0. 6. CONSIDERATION OF A MOTION TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION MAKING CHANGES TO PERSONNEL POLICY WITH REGARD TO SEVERANCE PAY • • 9 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES January 22, 1996 - PAGE 7 Hurm noted this change will bring .the policy regarding severance pay for all employees in line with the contracts recently negotiated with AFSCME. Mayor Bean read the resolution into the record. Benson moved, McCarty seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 96 -14, "A Resolution Making Changes to the Personnel Policy with Regard to Severance Pay." Motion passed 4/0. 7. CONSIDERATION OF ARCHITECTURAL UPDATE AND CONTRACT FOR SERVICES FOR SOUTHSHORE SENIOR COMMUNITY CENTER Brown explained on December 11, 1995, the City Council authorized the expenditure of $8,715.00 to allow TSP/EOS to provide preliminary architectural services for the senior - community center. This included the Concept Phase, Schematic Design Phase and Design Development Phase. The architect has completed these phases and is requesting authorization to proceed to 50% of the next phase, Construction Document Phase, for the sum of $10,000.00. The temporary contract will allow TSP/EOS to proceed until February 14, 1996. McCarty moved, Malam seconded to approve expenditures not to exceed $10,000.00 for continuation of Architectural Services for the Senior - Community Center City project 95 -20. Motion passed 4I0. 8. CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF BIDS FOR WATER TOWER AND AWARD CONTRACT Brown reported three bids for the construction of the Minnewashta School Water Tower had been received on January 16, 1996. The low bid of $855,614.00 was received from Chicago Bridge and Iron (CBI NaCon, Inc.). He noted GSM's estimated cost was $830,000.00. Staff is recommending the tower control system be removed and completed as a separate special item so staff can maintain close control. A contract for this will be presented in March of 1996 and will cost approximately $20,000.00. Staff is recommending approval of the bid from CBI Na -Con, Inc. Mayor Bean asked if a performance guarantee was included in the contract. Brown stated a liquidation of damages of $500.00 per day is included if the required timeframe is not met. He stated the timeframe for this project increased the bids. Brown noted there was not a final agreement between the City of Shorewood and the School District. The contractor has stated the absolute last date he needs the contract to meet the completion date is February 1, 1996. The School Board will not be meeting until February 1st or 2nd. Brown stated he felt the School Board would approve the agreement. Hurm suggested requesting the School Board have a special meeting to approve the agreement. Keane stated the issue the School Board was in disagreement with was relative to the communication issue. He stated the City has accommodated most of their requests and he felt the School Board would accept the agreement. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES January 22, 1996 - PAGE 8 • Brown stated staff recommends that if the City ouncil award the bid, it should be subject to the School District executing the agreement. Either the contractor has to be delayed or the School Board will have to hold a special meeting. Hurm noted he would prefer the School Board hold a special meeting. Benson moved, McCarty seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 96 -15, "A Resolution Accepting Bid and Awarding Contract for Minnewashta Elevated Storage Tank, City Project 96 -2 to CBI Na -Con, Inc in the Amount of $855,614.00" and authorize staff to proceed based on receipt of the agreement executed by the School District. Motion passed 4/0. 9. CONSIDERATION OF A MOTION TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION MAKING AN APPOINTMENT TO FILL THE VACANCY ON THE SNOWMOBILE TASK FORCE Warren Peterson has indicated an interest in being appointed to the Snowmobile Task Force to fill the vacancy due to Troy Stottler's resignation. McCarty moved, Malam seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 96 -16, "A Resolution Appointing Warren Peterson to the Shorewood Snowmobile Task Force, Representing Citizens at Large ." Motion passed 4/0. 10. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 1996 -2000 A. Consideration of a Motion to Approve the 1996 -2000 Capital Improvement Plan • Brown explained the items contained in the 1996 -2000 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). These items included the Watermain Project Schedule, MSA Street Reconstruction, Local Street Reconstruction, Stormwater Management, Sanitary Sewer System, Public Facilities and Office Equipment, the Public Works Equipment Replacement Schedule, and the Parks Project Schedule. Brown stated staff and the Planning Commission are recommending approval of the 1996 -2000 CIP. Hurm noted staff intends to hold neighborhood meetings to explain the CIP in late February and early March. The dates will be announced in the Shorewood newsletter. Malam moved, McCarty seconded to approve the 1996 -2000 Capital Improvement Plan. Motion passed 4/0. B . Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Approving the 1996 Capital Budget. Malam moved, McCarty seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 96-17, "A Resolution Approving the 1996 Capital Budget." Motion passed 4/0. 11. ADMINISTRATOR AND STAFF REPORTS B. Review of Mission Statement and City Values Mayor Bean noted this document was written in 1992 and is revisited every year to re- establish why the City Council, Administrator and employees are here and what they are trying to accomplish. Mayor Bean read the Shorewood City Values and Mission Statement REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES January 22, 1996 - PAGE 9 • into the record. Councilmembers reviewed and readopted the Values and Mission Statement for the year of 1996. A. Report on 1995 Objectives Hurm noted there are two types of issues included in the 1995 Issues Prioritized and Budget Objectives Report. One is the objectives specific to the 1995 adopted budget. The second is issues identified by the City Council as important issues to address. The report tells the City Council the progress they have made in meeting these objectives. There are a number of objectives which were not met in 1995. These issues will be discussed in February and used as a basis to establish objectives for 1996. Mayor Bean noted some of the items included as objectives had been the Senior Center, the Tree Preservation and Replacement Policy, City Street Policies, and the Watertower. C. Report on Dry Hydrants on Islands Brown reported there are three dry hydrants installed near Enchanted Island. Last fall, during a pump test, it was discovered that two of the three dry hydrants are not operating properly. Staff has performed tests on the hydrants including vacuum testing and an underwater exploration of two of the three hydrants. Brown stated it appears the problems are due to the way the hydrants are designed and that the intake screens on the two malfunctioning hydrants are covered with sediment. Staff will bring the City Council a recommendation to resolve this problem in the Spring of the year once the ice is off the • lake. Brown noted there had been a fire on the island and this raised considerable public concern. The City of Mound Fire Chief, Mr. Steve Erickson, has assured staff that this problem will not affect the response time of the Fire Department. Tanker trucks are on stand -by anytime there is a fire on the islands. D. Report on Goose Control Meeting Hurm reported on a meeting hosted by the City of Shorewood to discuss goose control. John Parker from the DNR, Dr. James Cooper from the U of M and representatives of different cities were in attendance. Both Mr. Parker and Dr. Cooper felt a joint goose control effort would produce better results. Dr. Cooper estimates that in several decades the goose population could be as high as ten times the current level. They encouraged cities to consider applying for a LCMR (Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources) grant to fund a cooperative goose control effort in the Lake Minnetonka area. It was noted that local contributions by the cities involved would make obtaining the grant more likely. There was Council consensus to participate in the cooperative effort on goose control. Mayor Bean recessed the meeting at 9:30 p.m. and reconvened at 9:38 p.m. E. Discussion on Highway 7 / Water Street Upgrade Nielsen explained this upgrade was part of the 1987 Highway 7 Corridor Study. He stated . he had spoken with Carl Zieman at the public meeting held by MNDOT and he had stated the City Council of Excelsior did not object to the proposed change. Apparently, this REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES January 22, 1996 - PAGE 10 • opinion has changed. The City of Excelsior has expressed that the would support the P g tY P Y PP creation of a double left turn lane being created onto Highway 19. Nielsen stated he did not know if MNDOT felt this was warranted and was not certain if there was enough right -of- way to achieve a double left turn lane. This would also drastically change the cost of the project. Mayor Bean noted the City of Excelsior has expressed their concern that the proposed changes to Water Street could significantly impact their downtown traffic. Councilmember McCarty stated she did not feel the change would discourage people from going to Excelsior. She noted that the Highway 19 and Water Street intersections were very close to each other. Mayor Bean stated he would like to support the City of Excelsior but was concerned given the number of accidents at the Water Street intersection. Councilmember McCarty noted the proposal was not to close off the Water Street intersection entirely but to create a right - in/right -out intersection. Nielsen stated he would contact MNDOT and request their recommendation. There was Council consensus to meet in a joint work session with the City of Excelsior and MNDOT to discuss the proposed change. • F. Engineer's Report Regarding Water Assessment Charge Brown reported staff felt it would be worthwhile to check into the price indexes to ensure the City's rates are not out of line and that there is adequate funding to achieve the goals of the CIP. Brown noted he will provide a report on the indexes at the next City Council meeting. Hurm reported he had received a letter from Peter McLaughlin, Chair of the Board of Hennepin County Commissioners, reporting of two meetings. One meeting will be held at the Eden Prairie City Hall on January 31, 1996 from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. Mr. McLaughlin would like to discuss the issue of housing with the different representatives of the different communities. One of the recommendations for discussion is the Community Development Block Grant program and different ways to utilize these funds. He noted other issues which may be discussed include: what are the most pressing housing needs and issues faced by suburban municipalities; and what housing role, if any would municipalities like to see the County HRA play in order to better address housing issues and needs in suburban Hennepin and to enable municipalities to achieve their goal in regard to the Livable Communities Act. He encouraged any interested Councilmembers to attend. 12. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL REPORTS Councilmember Malam stated he had submitted his letter of resignation effective February 23, 1996. He explained he has taken a new job which is located south of the river and is moving to that area. Councilmember McCarty stated this was a sad day for all and that it will be difficult to find someone with the same dedication and insight as Councilmember Malam. She stated he REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES January 22, 1996 - PAGE 11 i has a great perspective with a lot of heart. Councilmember Benson stated Councilmember Malam would be missed by all. Councilmember Malam thanked the Council for the opportunity to work with such good people. Benson moved, McCarty seconded to accept the letter of resignation from Councilmember Douglas Malam effective February 23, 1996. Motion passed 3 ayes / 1 abstention (Councilmember Malam abstained). Mayor Bean noted the City Council will be seeking applicants to fill the Council vacancy. This position will be subject to the November 1996 election. Councilmember McCarty reported she was unable to attend the phosphorous meeting last Wednesday. Hurm reported the Lake Minnetonka area cities have submitted a preapplication to the Board of Innovation and Cooperation requesting additional funding to help with area cooperative efforts. He noted the request was considered by the Board to be below the cut- off level. He reported the Lake Area Administrators will be meeting this Friday to discuss this matter and make a decision on whether to develop the application further and resubmit it. Mayor Bean reported of an inquiry from "City Business ", a local Twin Cities paper, . seeking nominations of people in the business community who are under 40 years of age who have made a difference in the business community and the community at large. 13. ADJOURNMENT SUBJECT TO APPROVAL OF CLAIMS Benson moved, Malam seconded to adjourn the City Council meeting at 10:09 p.m., subject to approval of claims. Motion passed 4/0.
