HEARINGS
A. Shorewood Ponds Development
Mayor Love delayed the hearing until 7:30 P.M. anticipating the arrival of the Shorewood Ponds
Development Representative.
7. PARKS
Engineer Brown reported that there would be a Park Commission Park Tour followed by a
Regular meeting on June 12. On the Regular Meeting Agenda, there will be discussion over the
non-payment of some sports organization user fees. Mayor Love questioned how these issues
would be handled. Brown indicated that most sports organizations are up-to-.date, however, one
in question has a roster shortage and will be followed up with.
Brown also shared with the Council the resignation of Park Commissioner Berndt.
4B. PRESENTATIONS - Report From Jeff Foust, City Representative to LMCC
Representative Foust provided the Council with an update from the Cable Commission, as well
as, welcomed comments on utilizing some of the technology embedded within the cable system.
He reported that the rebuild of the Shorewood cable system is complete. It will provide better
quality via fiber optics to every neighborhood.
Foust went on to explain that Lake Minnetonka Community Cable has requested the ability to
broadcast their Council Meetings live using one of the community channels provided by
MediaCom as set forth in the franchise agreement. He then asked for input from the Council on
their going live as well. Council Member Lizee asked what requirements or special equipment
would be needed to do so. Foust indicated that while there is no money in the LMCC budget to
allocate for this, the cable company must supply three to four channels to the community for such
efforts.
With no objection, Mayor Love asked Foust to proceed by putting together a feasibility report and
present the costs to the Council next month.
Foust also reported upon the availability of an I-Net service for the City as provided by
MediaCom within the franchise agreement. While not a free service to government, it can provide
a way to connect public buildings using MediaCom cable lines.
Zerby inquired about the opportunity to fill in content on the public community channel between
live Council Meetings rather than only broadcasting billboards. He wondered if this wouldn't be
a good way to broadcast public service announcements and rebroadcast taped community events.
Foust believed this could be programmed but more research would need to be done.
4A. Presentation of Award to Former Planning Commissioners for their Service on the
Planning Commission
Mayor Love recognized three past Planning Commissioners for their service and commitment to
the Community. With an eye to the future, these members and staff have met every week to

ensure that an orderly process in which citizens can be heard, applicants can voice their desires,
and a reasoned recommendation can be made is followed.
Mayor Love recognized Kirk Rosenberger, Tom Skramstad, and Paula Callies, thanking them for
their hard work and dedication to the community they served.
Tom Skramstad addressed the Council stating that he appreciated the unexpected recognition and
that it was a pleasure, as well as a learning experience, to serve the community.
Kirk Rosenberger thanked the City and said that he takes with him many fond memories from his
time there. He shared a number of things he learned. First, if there is a piece of bare ground it
will likely be developed sooner or later; second, as a Commissioner you must balance the
neighborhood concerns with the developers concerns; and finally, that variances truly do not fit
within ordinances.
6. HEARINGS
A. Shorewood Ponds Development
Mayor Love began the Hearing at 7:30 P.M. without a representative present.
Engineer Brown stated that a letter had been sent out by certified mail to the developer, Bill
Gleason of Sylvia Development, listing the items in default. It included ten items that were in
specific violation of the original development agreement executed between the City of
Shorewood and Sylvia Development on June 28, 1999.
While not a public hearing, the notice given to the Developer provided them until May 31, 2001
to correct the items found in violation. As not all of the items were corrected, the Council hearing
was scheduled for this evening, June 11,2001.
Brown reported that staff is in the process of drawing upon a letter of credit with Wells Fargo,
the holder in San Francisco, California. Staff has also met with several contractors to obtain bids
for completing the items that stand in default.
Engineer Brown maintained that it is staff's recommendation that any further issuance of permits
or inspections cease on the project as further motivation to correct the situation. He had no
specific recommendation in regard to the proposed $1,000 per violation monetary penalty at this
time.
Brown pointed out six specific items that still remain in violation to the agreement. The six items
are as follows, although some effort has been made by the developer to install silt fencing.
I. General site condition
2. Erosion Control Measures
3. Storm sewer capacity has been compromised
4. Washing of Berm and stabilization
S. Sedimentation on the Roadways
6. Pond side-slopes

.
With no representation from Sylvia Development present, Mayor Love asked for Council
comment.
Council member Turgeon felt it was not unreasonable to hold up permits and inspections,
especially in light of no representation on behalf of the developer.
Mayor Love questioned what the $1,000 penalty per infraction would accomplish. Brown
reasoned that drawing upon the letter of credit would motivate the developer and builder to
comply due to the costliness to them and their note holder. Brown shared that the dollars held in
account by the letter of credit are 1.5 times the original project cost and represent a substantial
cost to the developer.
At 7:35 P.M. Bill Gleason arrived as the representative for Eagle Crest Homes and Sylvia
Development.
Mr. Gleason shared that after walking the development with Engineer Brown and reviewing the
letter he received, he believed that they had complied with the items at that time. Gleason
maintained that some of the issues addressed in the letter which include the ponding, knocking
down the weeds and regrading, and sodding have just not been possible with the inclement
weather conditions so far. He believed that the silt fencing and tree protection was now up and
felt uncertain what more could be done.
.
While Mayor Love was sympathetic to the weather problems encountered this spring, he
reiterated that these conditions are the precise reason why such strong erosion controls are
stipulated, to prevent the types of problems they are currently facing. With this in mind, he added
that the condition of the site poses concerns to both he and the neighbors who have contacted
him.
Engineer Brown reported that the most serious infraction involves the ditching along the west
side of the property which has not been done yet. Residents have pointed out to the City that
some of the heavy rains that fell this spring have not been handled by the storm sewer system and
have flowed towards their neighborhoods and allegedly caused some issues with their structures.
Brown stated that the most serious issue is to get the storm sewer system running the way it
should, including control over erosion into the sedimentation basin, making sure the side slopes
are stabilized, and checking that erosion control fencing is properly anchored. Brown maintained
that clearly there are problems communicating these issues between the two groups involved, the
builders/contractors and developer. While Brown admitted he noticed that attempts had been
made to control erosion, the very next day the builder came back in and tracked mud into the
street, knocked down silt fencing, supplied no gravel entrances, moved dumpsters where they
don't belong, and the site is back in a state of disrepair within days. Brown supplied
documentation that this has been an ongoing problem and that he has continually been after the
developer to clean up the site and control erosion.
Bill Gleason pointed out that he has walked the site with Engineer Brown and corrected the catch
basin and silt fencing issues. He added that they have ordered the ditching to be done but it has
not yet been completed, and he will speak to his engineering department about this. He
maintained that today was the first day he has had a team at the site to grade the properties where
foundations have been laid due to inclement weather. Until the ground dries out, he continued,
little can be done physically to get people in there to finish the jobs Engineer Brown has
identified on the list. He questioned what more could be done and insisted that no matter who the

City hired to finish the jobs, they too, would not physically be able to do so until the area dries
up. They have been fighting the battle all spring of keeping the street clean, the bales up and
keeping stuff from eroding. He was at a loss and asked what the City would do differently than
he has already done to complete these items.
Brown pointed out that during the walk with Mr. Gleason, they were in the midst of a week of dry
weather and there was an opportunity to correct some of the major problems he had identified,
including the ditching. Mr. Gleason pointed out that this was a fairly new issue to him that he
had only learned about during his walk with Engineer Brown. There are two agencies, Eagle
Crest Homes and Sylvia Development, involved with the project and Westwood Engineering who
works for the developer did not relay this issue to him.
Garfunkel questioned how these agencies are connected and whom Gleason represents. Gleason
maintained that while he works for Eagle Crest Homes, he is also representing Sylvia
Development. He felt even with this distinction, they have done what they can so far to meet the
demands of the City.
Mayor Love, while noting the unusual spring, upheld the belief that the conditions that are on the
site and the issues that have brought concern to our citizens, staff and council people have been
out there on the table for at least a month or longer. With that being said, Mayor Love stated that
the current conditions are not good for the neighbors or the environment, and that the site is
unsightly. He continued that, frankly, the City has not seen responsiveness on behalf of
representatives of the development. It seems the confusion between the various agencies does not
answer the concerns the City and its citizens have brought forward.
Council member Turgeon observed that the construction crew is not playing by the rules. She
believed more patrolling of the site needs to be done and asked what control Mr. Gleason has
over the crew. Gleason pointed out that the construction crew is made up of a variety of
subcontractors who are almost out of their control. He added that after they leave, his team
cleans up the site, including their own street sweeper, but there is a time frame required to
accomplish this task. Gleason stated that while the City is free to take the letter of credit out, it is
not going to really change anything. He believed that the conditions they're facing have to
change first, although he can try to do a better job cleaning the streets.
Zerby inquired as to whom is present on site to keep the contractors in line. Gleason said there is
a job Supervisor who comes out daily, in the mornings usually, and then there is his clean up
team and street sweeper who finish up the day. Gleason shared with the Council that some
subcontractors are better than others and respect the efforts taken on site to control various
conditions.
Mayor Love asked the Council what action they would like to take at this time. Brown pointed
out that at the last City Council meeting they drew upon the letter of credit and scheduled this
hearing to determine what, if any, further action would be taken, i.e. impose monetary penalties
of not more than $1,000 per infraction, order stop work orders on all construction for which
building permits have been issued and withhold issuance of additional building permits, and take
any other action to enforce any other remedy available.
Planning Director Nielsen pointed out that additional permits could be delayed. Gleason stated
that they are currently behind on the project as it stands and even that delay would not make
much difference. Turgeon expressed her concern over getting a subcontractor to do the work any

sooner, seeing how many of them are backed up already with the weather and work. She did add,
however, that she was extremely disappointed in the site and that the City's expectations were
much higher. She then suggested giving the development company the opportunity to continue in
good faith granting them an additional ten to fourteen days to comply with the notice.
Turgeon moved, Zerby seconded with discussion, to give Shorewood Ponds an additional
two weeks to meet staffs request that the storm sewer system be cleaned, and the ditching be
done to meet capacity and specifications. During that period of time, staff will look for a
subcontractor to be hired by the City if these items are not corrected at the end of the two-
week period.
Attorney Keane pointed out that the City Council meets in two weeks, and that the letter of credit
can be pulled without using the money in order to hold the development company accountable.
In the meantime, the City can articulate the performance they expect in the next two weeks and
look for a subcontractor to do the work if need be. Keane noted that the direction to the
developer is clear at this point and at the next meeting if they haven't performed up to
Engineering standards, the City can exercise their conditions as put forth levying fines,
withholding permits, etc. No further hearings or notices would be necessary.
Gleason requested an opportunity to meet with staff once again, and throughout the process, to
clarify any outstanding concerns. He still voiced his concern over weather related items such as
the topsoil, seeding/sodding, grading, and tree protection. All things that he felt could not be done
until the weather improved. He again stated that he felt his agencies were progressing the right
way and he will do his best to get the rest of the work done within the next two weeks.
.
Mayor Love suggested inviting a representative from the MCWD to accompany staff and Sylvia
Development on the next walk through of the site. He then underscored that the problems
encountered with Shorewood Ponds are not simply caused by a wet spring, but that accountability
has not been present for long period of time.
Motion passed 3/2, with Garfunkel and Mayor Love dissenting.
8. PLANNING
Commissioner Gagne reported that the Planning Commission met twice last week, during the first
of which they discussed the application for Cub Foods. After a 5-1/2 hour public meeting the
application was turned down unanimously 7/0. Mayor Love added that it was not so much the
Cub Foods proposal that was turned down as it was the size of the site the proposed tenant was
presenting. He reminded citizens that there will be a grocery store development at that site
sooner or later.
Gagne went on to report that items B, C, D, and E of this evening's Agenda were also all
approved 7/0.
Gagne presented one other matter the Planning Commission would like the City Council to
consider, that is the possibility of allowing staff to look into solutions for correcting Lake Linden
Drive. Many neighbors have voiced their concern over the street as it is and would like to hear
about the possibility of connecting it. Mayor Love asked Engineer Brown to look into this subject
further and report back.

A.
A Motion to Direct Staff to Prepare a Resolution Regarding an Appeal to
the Zoning Administrator's Interpretation of the Zoning Code
Appellant: James Russell
Location: 26080 Birch Bluff Road
Director Nielsen provided background, adding that the appeal was to have been voted on two
months ago but since it required a 4/5 vote, this is the first meeting in which that was possible.
Mayor Love invited James Russell to provide the City Council a brief report regarding his appeal.
Mr. James Russell, 26080 Birch Bluff Road, explained that the stakes to him are a 39 square foot
side yard encroachment. He gave examples to support his claim that letters band j of the
Ordinance are in direct conflict with one another. Mr. Russell insisted that it is unclear whether
the drafters of the Ordinance could be using the same reasoning for nonconforming uses as they
do for structures.
Lizee pointed out to the Council that the single issue before the Council this evening is to decide
whether Mr. Russell needs to apply for a variance or not. After initially applying for and
withdrawing his application for a variance last winter Mr. Russell is appealing the need for it.
Lizee moved, Turgeon seconded, forwarding this to a variance process and replacing the
findings of fact label "cabin" to "summer house".
Mayor Love inquired whether the word change was necessary and saw no legal distinction to do
so, finally, asking Lizee to modify her request.
Zerby supported the variance process and indicated he would like to see a variance request in this
case. He maintained that he believed the intent of the drafters in 1986 was not to let the cabin fall
to the ground.
Garfunkel asserted that he viewed this request as a "reasonable repair" and not a "significant
structural alteration". With this in mind, he saw this as not an out of the ordinary request to repair
his building from collapsing.
Turgeon pointed out that this is a "nonconforming structure" and that the City and Planning
Commission have required other unique nonconforming structures to follow a variance request
procedure as well.
Lizee moved, Turgeon seconded, denying the appeal to the Zoning Administrator's
Interpretation of the Zoning Code asking Mr. Russell to follow through on the variance
request. Motion passed 4/1, with Garfunkel dissenting.
B. A Motion to Adopt a Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Permit for
Accessory Space over 1200 sq. ft.
Applicant: Brian Zeglen
Location: 5960 Afton Road
Director Nielsen provided background on this matter, noting that the applicant wished to
construct a detached garage, which when combined with existing accessory space will bring the
property to approximately 1328 square feet; thus, a request for a Conditional Use Permit became
"

necessary. He also reviewed the four criteria to be met in order to grant this type of permit.
.
He recommended the CUP be granted subject to several criteria, including the proposed garage be
used strictly for residential use only, a landscape plan be submitted and approved, and the
existing overhead garage door be replaced by a wall. Mr. Zeglen was available for questions.
Turgeon moved, Lizee seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 01-031, "A Resolution
Approving a Conditional Use Permit for Accessory Space over 1200 Square Feet for Brian
Zeglen, 5960 Afton Road". Motion passed 5/0.
C. A Motion to Adopt a Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Permit for
Accessory Space over 1200 sq. ft.
Applicant: Richard Penn
Location: 27825 Brynmawr Place
Once again, Director Nielsen provided background on this matter, pointing out that the applicant
is building an addition to his existing attached garage, which when combined with his accessory
space brings his total on the property to approximately 1494 square feet; thus, a request for a
Conditional Use Permit became necessary. Nielsen noted that the applicant's lot contains
approximately 55,347 square feet of area, and that the total area of accessory space will not
exceed 10% of the minimum lot area for the R I-A Zoning District.
Nielsen recommended approval for the Conditional Use Permit noting that a lower level entrance
request reflected in the slide that was shown was withdrawn. The approval would also be subject
to a landscape plan.
. Zerby moved, Turgeon seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 01-032, "A Resolution
Approving a Conditional Use Permit for Accessory Space over 1200 Square Feet for
Richard Penn, 27825 Brynmawr Place." Motion passed 5/0.
D. A Motion to Adopt a Resolution Approving a Revised Conditional Use
Permit for Church Storage Building.
Applicant: Minnewashta Church
Location: 26710 West 62nd Street
Director Nielsen provided history that the applicant had been granted a Conditional Use Permit
several years ago to construct a new church and two-stall storage garage on the site. They are
requesting to build a three-stall storage building on the same spot that would house the trash
facilities.
Nielsen noted that staff recommends approval of the Permit providing the Applicant legally
combines the two parcels on which the Church is currently located and the trash facilities are
located within a masonry enclosure on a concrete pad.
Lizee moved, Zerby seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 01-033, "A Resolution
Approving a Revised Conditional Use Permit for Church Storage Building for
Minnewashta Church, 26710 West 62nd Street". Motion passed 5/0.

A Motion to Adopt a Resolution Approving a Revised Conditional Use
Permit for the Kuempel Chime Clock Property
Applicant: Mary jean McGregor
Location: 21193 Minnetonka Boulevard
Director Nielsen explained that the Applicant proposes to lease space within the existing building
for an office and instructional video studio, requiring a modification of previous Conditional Use
Permits.
Turgeon moved, Garfunkel seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 01-034, "A Resolution
Approving a Revised Conditional Use Permit for the Kuempel Chime Clock Property for
Mary Jean McGregor, 21193 Minnetonka Blvd. Motion passed 5/0.
F. Motion to Adopt a Resolution Approving a Final Plat and Authorizing the
Mayor and City Administrator to Enter Into a Development Agreement
Director Nielsen explained that a Final Plat has been submitted by Smithtown Woods. He noted
omitted language giving the developer a credit back for over sizing the water main that runs
through the property needs to be added. Hie recommendation is to approve the final plat.
Zerby moved, Turgeon seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 01-035, "A Resolution
Approving a Final Plat and Authorizing the Mayor and City Administrator to Enter Into a
Development Agreement with Smithtown Woods." Motion passed 5/0.
G. Report on DugoutslBench Shelters at Freeman Park
Mayor Love reported that he met with representatives of South Tonka Little League regarding the
request for an extension until August 10th to make the dugouts at Freeman Park comply with the
requirements. The original deadline for reconstruction was June 11, 2001 before the extension
request.
Brian Tichy, of South Tonka Little League, explained that the existing dugouts are not complete
and merely a temporary fix, requiring additional time to complete. He stated that organizing the
necessary volunteers required to finish the dugouts has proven difficult, and he would like to
continue using them as they are, finishing the season by extending the permit.
Although Mayor Love appreciated the need for more time, he shared a memorandum he received
from Joe Pazandak that day pointing out safety concerns over the existing dugout structures. Due
to the possibility of high winds lifting the roofs off and posing potential safety issues, Mayor
Love could not support the extension. He was saddened to see the report, in light of all that South
Tonka has worked to accomplish, and encouraged them to keep the lines of communication open
and schedule a meeting between the City, South Tonka Little League, Parks, staff, and himself
soon.
Tichy voiced his disappointment over the lack of support they feel the City has provided them. In
view of the investment that South Tonka Little League has put into the City Park they feel there is
little appreciation, communication or support.
Lizee commented that the Council, Commissions and staff have been approached by various
members of South Tonka Little League (STLL) on numerous occasions regarding diverse issues.
.

Lizee recommended that Tichy, as STLL President, be the contact for future communications.
Tichy agreed.
9. GENERAL
A. Final Report on the Community Visioning Project - Bruce Chamberlain,
Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc.
Craig Dawson introduced Bruce Chamberlain, Vice-President of Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc.
(HKGi) to present a final report on the scoping phase for Shorewood's Community Visioning
Process. Dawson indicated the report would encompass the Outreach Plan, Work Plan, project
schedule, and fee proposals.
In his presentation, Mr. Chamberlain summarized the Outreach Plan consisting of the Community
Involvement Strategy and the Communication Strategy. Along with the Community involvement
strategy, the Communication strategy will include brochures and a photo analysis of the
Community through the resident's eyes. The Lawless Institute will handle the Communication
Strategy.
Chamberlain estimated the costs for the overall project would run $42,000-43,000, plus printing
and distribution costs which can run about $10,000. While he was aware that the budget goal was
around $35,000-40,000, he believed some economizing could be done by printing in house, using
city staff, and cutting down on scale.
Mayor Love inquired as to how bringing in additional Lakes communities would impact the
costs. By combining the effort into a joint community visioning process. Chamberlain indicated
that the costs would not be greatly affected. More people would be used for the sample size and
costs would increase slightly for printing and distribution, but the overall visioning process
however, would not be greatly altered.
Garfunkel asked how the sample demos were chosen. Peggy Lawless, of the Lawless Institute,
indicated that via a stratified random sampling they would choose 20 some residents from
specific demos, along with a few businesses and organizations. Garfunkel emphasized the
importance of not steering the results. He felt it was important for the City to be sensitive to this
and merely supply a list of existing businesses and groups to HKGi to choose from.
Mayor Love suggested presenting the visioning process to the area Chambers of Commerce to
excite their interest early on and encourage their potential participation. Chamberlain agreed that
it would be a stronger scenario to involve more communities. Zerby volunteered to assist in the
presentation to the other City's, similar to those in which they gave while soliciting support for
the Skate Park.
Chamberlain asked for a timeline. Mayor Love suggested he hold off on further initiatives until
the City could immediately move forward sharing the visioning process with other communities.
They would hope to move forward by early fall.
B. Approval of Fire Services Agreement with the City of Mound
Dawson reported that over the past number of years an annual fire services contract has existed
between the Cities of Mound and Shorewood. Within the past few weeks, the City has received a
.
.
.
..
CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES
JUNE 11, 2001
Page 11 of 12
new fire service agreement containing a few changes, thus, requiring action for the Shorewood
City Council.
Other than a few minor changes to the contract, there was one exception Dawson referred to: the
proposed agreement would be in effect for three years (2001 through 2003) rather than for only
2001. The agreement would also automatically renew for another three years, unless a one-year
notice was given to cancel it.
Zerby moved, Turgeon seconded, recommending approval of the Fire Services Agreement
with the City of Mound. Motion passed 5/0.
10. ENGINEERING/PUBLIC WORKS
Engineer Brown reported that barricades have gone up at Freeman Park. Turgeon expressed her
concern that the barricades have made it impossible for emergency vehicles to get through. She
asked what other possibilities exist, for instance, gates etc. Zerby noted that the current park
entrance points to the South entrance and that there are no proper markings leading people
through the senior center.
Nielsen suggested staff contact the police and fire departments about having a lock box installed
at a gated entrance for emergency use.
11. REPORTS
A. Administrator & Staff
1.
Gideon Glen
Representative to the MCWD, Craig Dawson, reported that letters have been sent out to the new
Gideon Glen Advisory Committee about the neighborhood group. With no objection, Zerby
added the name of Peter Ciccico, who lives at the end of Christopher Road, to the neighborhood
member list.
2. Skate Park
Brown reported that all the equipment has been installed and the grading is finished. Mayor Love
asked if signage was complete, and pointed out minor issues, such as litter need to be addressed.
Mayor Love thanked staff, and especially Engineer Brown, for their huge success in
accomplishing the huge task of installing the equipment.
3. Eddy Station
Brown indicated that the sod is down and that they await the completion of final details. He
added that the vending machines are on site.
Lizee passed along the numerous positive comments she has received regarding Eddy Station. It
is spectacular.
