through the efforts of many people. He cited City staff, other local cities, units of government and State
Representatives also responsible for bringing the legislation to fruition. He stated he was proud to have
been a part of the process, and was deeply humbled by the efforts of all involved in that process.
B. Presentation by The Legacy Foundation regarding The Commons Project in
Excelsior
Michael Reichert, of the Legacy Foundation, presented information on the efforts of the Foundation
regarding the Commons Project in Excelsior, Minnesota. He also noted the attendance of Terry Forbord
and Bob Weiss, Boardmembers of the Legacy Foundation. He stated the Legacy Foundation was formed
by of a group of business owners wishing to preserve the historic area surrounding Lake Minnetonka
through bold creative ideas. He stated Excelsior was a rich historical area, and the endeavors of the
Foundation on its' Commons Project agreed with the rich history of the area. He reviewed photos of the
proposed public dock as well as conceptual architectural designs of the bathhouse, concession building, a
shelter picnic pavilion, and additions to the bandshell area, and landscaping elements including a
boardwalk area leading to a public fishing area. Mr. Reichert stated the architectural styling was
reminiscent of the amusement park era. He also anticipated these conceptual renderings would be
reworked and detailed a bit more with delivery to the City of Excelsior in approximately 60-90 days. In
response to a question from an audience member, Mr. Reichert explained the dock project could
potentially be completed in winter of 2002, and building projects completed by Winter 2003-2004. He
stated this Commons Project was hoping to deliver long-term solutions for the improved livability of
generations to come.
Mayor Love thanked members of the Legacy Foundation for the wonderful presentation. He noted the
amazing foresight of the leaders of 150 years ago that preserved the Commons Area in Excelsior, one of
only two such areas in the United States. He also stated he believed the improvements to the public
access of the lake was important as it linked all other lake communities to the South Lake Minnetonka
community.
Members of the Council stated they were impressed and excited with the plans that demonstrated
historical sensitivity and yet provided complementary support to the anticipated outcomes of the
Visioning Process in place for many of the South Lake Minnetonka communities.

Southshore Community Center group, respectively, were in attendance this evening. Ms. Flury stated the
groups utilizing the Center were excited to be celebrating five years of use. She noted this celebration
was hoping to attract additional interested persons to the Center and its activities for seniors as well as.to
help raise funds for a maintenance escrow account for the building. She noted the current programs
generating revenue for the Center and invited Council to participate in the anniversary events. In
addition, she stated The Friends of the Southshore Community Center was requesting $1,000 from the

D. Presentation by George Watson Regarding County Road 19 Corridor Study -
Streetscape Concept
George Watson, of Brauer and Associates, presented information regarding the County Road 19 Corridor
Study and Streetscape Concept. He reviewed the history of the project thus far, bringing the Council up
to date on the current conceptual design of the streetscape project. At the May 21,2002, Joint Meeting of
Commissions and Council, he noted refinements had been suggested. He stated those refinements had
been incorporated into this current conceptual design plan, and stated he was seeking comment from
Council on this concept. He stated that as he had reviewed the existing structures and topography of the
area, he noted it would be important visually to bury the existing power lines along the corridor.
Additionally, he stated it was important to focus. on creating and maintaining pedestrian circulation in this
area. He noted the importance of providing pedestrian circulation through or near several amenities,
including Badger Park and Gideon Glen, in the area to be included in the project. He stated design was
continuing on creating a memorable visual feature near the intersection area of County Road
19/5mithtown Road/Country Club Road as part of the project. He also suggested moving the Gideon
Glen marker closer to the LRT for more visual attention by people traversing the area. Mr. Watson
suggested Council view this conceptual design as a long-range plan and asked Council to consider
supporting the concepts and ideas presented this evening.
.
Director Nielsen stated any trails proposed through this plan would need to be considered as part of the
Park Commissions' trail implementation process, as well as addressed in the City's Comprehensive Plan.

Councilmember Lizee stated she liked the concept plan presented and would like to see involvement and
cooperation with the City of Tonka Bay regarding this project. Engineer Brown noted the City of Tonka
Bay was not willing to participate in undergrounding utilities as part of this project. Mayor Love stated
beyond the aesthetics of burying existing utilities in the area, safety and functionality were also to be
considered. He stated he would be pleased to meet with representatives from Tonka Bay, along with
Councilmember Lizee, to see if cooperation could be attained in moving the project forward together.
Garfunkel moved, Zerby seconded, Accepting the Streetscape Concept Plan as presented. Motion
passed 5/0.

along Lake Linden Drive.
7. PLANNING
.
Commissioner White reported on matters considered and actions taken at the July 16, 2002, Planning
Commission Meeting (as detailed in the minutes of that meeting).
A. Setback Variance
Applicant: James Quandt
Location: 22425 Murray Street
Director Nielsen explained the applicant had requested a variance to build a second-story addition onto
his home at 22425 Murray Street. He further explained the existing house and garage encroached into the
required rear yard setback area of the lot. Director Nielsen also explained the topography of the lot with
the house perched on top of a prominent hill, and the site dropping away in all directions. He also noted
the applicant owned the property immediately west of the subject site. The existing house contained
approximately 1280 square feet of area, and the applicant proposed adding a second story of equal area,
necessitating a rear-yard setback variance of nine feet. He explained that although there was room to
expand the house within the buildable area of the lot, hardcover restrictions prevented outward expansion.
He also stated the Zoning Code allowed that where setback deficiencies existed, the required setback
could be made up on the other side. Since the existing buildings encroached 47 feet into the rear yard, a
restriction could be established restricting construction in the northerly 47 feet of the wide portion of the
lot. He also recommended the applicant be required to provide a conservation easement over this portion
of the lot, where topography proved difficult for construction. He also suggested the applicant could
subdivide 30 feet from the rear of his vacant land to the west and combine it with the homestead property.
By adding additional land to the site, the percentage of hardcover would be reduced and a problem for
any future owner of the lot to the west would be eliminated.
. James Quandt, applicant, was in attendance and offered to answer any questions Council had of him.

Councilmember Turgeon requested Item 2E, be added to the Conclusions portion of the Findings of Fact
for this matter addressing the issue of a conservation easement over a portion of the property. Item 2E
was to read:
e. The applicant shall grant the City a conservation easement over the northerly 47 feet of the widest
part of the lot to assure that no building will be located there in the future.
Turgeon moved, Zerby seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 02-061, "A Resolution Approving
a Setback Variance, subject to Planning Commission recommendations, for James Quandt", as
amended. Motion passed 5/0.
B. Setback Variance and Conditional Use Permit
Applicant: Lake Fellowship Unitarian Church
Location: 24575 Glen Road
Director Nielsen stated the Commission had held a Public Hearing to consider an after-the-fact
conditional use permit for a parking lot constructed by the Lake Fellowship Unitarian Church on their
property at 24575 Glen Road. He went on the explain the parking lot had been constructed within the
front-yard setback area of the property, and that matter had been continued to July in order for church
representatives to determine whether a variance application or correction of the work was necessary. The
representatives had commissioned a soils engineer for soil testing in the vicinity of the parking area, and
had since decided to apply for a variance.
.
Findings by the soil engineer indicated the ground to the north of the current parking lot was not suitable
to support either the parking lot or continuous poured concrete curbing required by the Shorewood
Zoning Code. The applicants had placed large logs at the perimeter of the parking area with dirt
backfilled behind them, in lieu of curbing. These findings were also in accordance with recommendations
of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) regarding the preference for a "sheeting" type of
stormwater runoff versus directed runoff found through a curb and gutter system. Screening was
considered adequate for the site. Director Nielsen recommended approval of the variance, given the
findings of the soil engineer; however, the recommendation should include a provision of the parking lot
being striped and the three parcels of land on which the church was located being legally combined.
Completion of the items was recommended by end of August of this year.
Kelly Komro, Vice Chair of the Lake Fellowship Church Board, stated they had to decide to increase the
safety on the site as well as enhance the appearance of the lot. She also noted the founding members of
the Church were in attendance. She also thanked the Planning Commission and Director Nielsen for help
and support given regarding this request. She stated the striping would be completed in August of this
year, and she had already contacted Hennepin County regarding the combination of the lots. She stated a
Board meeting would be taking place in September, 2002. In addition, she noted landscaping and
grounds maintenance to be a continued priority for the Church.
Councilmember Turgeon stated she would like to see maximum plant heights within the landscaping also
made part of the conditions of the resolution.
Turgeon moved, Lizee seconded, Approving a Conditional Use Permit, subject to Staff
recommendations, as well as a maximum planting height of 30-36 inches for landscaping and
Directing Staff to Prepare a Findings of Fact for a Setback Variance, subject to Staff
recommendations, for the Lake Fellowship Unitarian Church, 24575 Glen Road. Motion passed 5/0.

C.
Setback Variance
Applicant: Marlow Peterson
Location: 4985 St Alban's Bay Road
Director Nielsen explained the applicant had requested a setback variance to construct an extension of his
existing attached garage on his property at 4985 St. Alban's Bay Road. The property was zoned Single-
Family ResidentiallShoreland and contained 8012 square feet of area. The proposed garage addition
measured 16' x 16' and would extend from the rear of the existing garage in tandem fashion. The request
necessitated an eight-foot variance to the rear yard setback requirement and a seven-foot variance to the
side yard requirement. The lot was nonconforming, with respect to maximum impervious surface, having
35.6 percent of the lot covered where 25 percent was allowed. The proposed garage would increase
hardcover by approximately 256 square feet, resulting in hardcover of 38.8 percent, and a variance of
nearly 14 percent. Director Nielsen went on to explain the applicant had also requested approval to build
a covered porch and deck on the front of the home. With regard to the variance criteria, Director Nielsen
stated the lot was considered nonconforming due to the small size of the lot. In addition, this size affected
both building setback compliance and hardcover. The site was examined for opportunities to reduce the
amount of hardcover on the lot, and all impervious surfaces were considered necessary to the use of the
property. He also stated other buildings in the neighborhood were closer to the rear lot line than the
required setbacks allowed, and the proposed garage would not be out of character for the surrowlding
area. He noted there would be no alternative to achieving a two-car garage on the site, and the applicant,
even in this request, would be forced to park cars end to end. No additional landscaping was
recommended for the site. Director Nielsen also stated the applicant had agreed, during the hearing
process, to reduce the size of the requested porch from 8'x8' to 5'x7'. The Planning Commission had
supported these recommendations, noting the porch size was not to exceed the 5 'x7' size.
.
Marlow Peterson, applicant, was in attendance and stated he would appreciate Council's approval on this
matter.
Zerby moved, Garfunkel seconded, Directing Staff to Prepare Findings of Fact, subject to the
Planning Commission's recommendations, for setback variances for Marlow Peterson, 4985 St.
Alban's Bay Road. Motion passed 5/0.
D. Conditional Use Permit
Applicant: Rick Bateson
Location: 6180 Murray Court
Director Nielsen explained the applicant was building a home at 6180 Murray Court in the RI-C, Single
Family Residential zoning district. He stated the applicant was requesting a Conditional use Permit for
Accessory Space over 1200 square feet to build a two-level attached garage. Director Nielsen went on to
explain the garage would be accessible to the front of the home at the front of the garage, and the lower
level was accessible through a side garage door. He noted the total square footage of the garage to be
approximately 4,086 square feet above grade, and also characterized the building site to be comprised of
steep topography and a wetland area, thus necessitating the placement of the house on the iot as far
forward as possible. Director Nielsen also stated the request complied with all four criteria for a
Conditional Use Permit, and no additional landscaping would be required as part of the recommendation
for approval.
.
Rick and Sue Bateson, applicants, were in attendance and stated they would be available for any questions
Council had of them.

Garfunkel moved, Lizee seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 02-062, "A Resolution Granting a
Conditional Use Permit for Additional Accessory Space for Rick Bateson." Motion passed 5/0.
E. Setback Variance
Applicant: Dennis and Laura Dvorak
Location: 5670 Echo Road
Director Nielsen explained the applicants had requested a setback variance to construct an attached two-
car garage on their property at 5670 Echo Road. The property was zoned Single Family Residential, and
contained approximately 11,721 square feet of area. In addition to the substandard lot area, the lot was
SLX feet narrower than the zoning district allowed and had a parallelogram shape.
The proposed garage measured 22' x 26' and was to be constructed in front of an existing small single -
car garage attached to the south end of the home. The request necessitated a six-foot variance to the side
yard setback requirement. Also, the applicants proposed converting the existing garage into a family
room, extending four feet beyond what existed currently. The existing house contained approximately
1348 square feet of floor are, including the garage. The addition would add 653 square feet to the
footprint of the house. Existing hardcover for the site was 33.6 percent, however; the applicants proposed
reducing the hardcover by installing landscape fabric where plastic currently existed.
hl analysis, Director Nielsen noted the house did not meet setbacks on the west and north sides of the lot,
thus, leaving the only expansion of the home to be on the east side of the property. The new garage
would be 43 feet from the front property line. Director Nielsen further explained the applicant's request
seemed justified according the variance criteria. He noted the substandard area of the lot to be aggravated
by its shape. He also noted the presence of a two-car garage was commonly enjoyed by most residential
properties in the City. With regard to granting variances, he stated the criteria stated the variance must be
minimized to the extent possible. To this extent, the expansion of the old garage to increase the family
room size was not justified, and he recommended the existing south end of the structure remain as it
currently existed. Additional landscaping was not required. He noted the Planning Commission had
voted unanimously to recommend approval of a variance for the garage. The Commission also
recommended denial of family room addition, citing the applicant had other options for expanding the
house without a variance.
Laura Dvorak, applicant, was in attendance, and stated she would be available to answer any questions
Council may have had of her.
Lizee moved, Zerby seconded, Directing Staff to Prepare Findings of Fact for a Setback Variance
for an attached two-car garage for Dennis and Laura Dvorak, 5670 Echo Road. Motion passed 5/0.
F. Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment
Director Nielsen noted the next two items were related. He then reviewed the draft Interim Conditional
Use Pemlit Text Amendment.
G. Interim Conditional Use Permit
Applicant: Dan Ohland
Location: 25070 Smithtown Road
Director Nielsen explained the applicant owned the property at 25070 Smithtown Road. In addition to his
home, the applicant used the property to operate his landscape excavating business. Although that use
was allowed previously as part of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), it had become a nonconforming use
CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES
JULY 22, 2002
Page 8 of 10
.
under current zoning regulations. As such, the business was considered to be "grandfathered in,"
however any kind of expansion to the business or the residential use of the property was prohibited while
the business existed on the site.
The applicant now wished to either substantially remodel and increase the size of the house or build a new
house on the site. While he was not yet willing to quit or relocate the business, he had indicated a
willingness to do so in three years. As a result, the City Attorney suggested the use of an interim use
ordinance to accommodate the applicant's plans for the site.
Director Nielsen then reviewed advantages to the applicant and to the City regarding the specific end date
to the nonconforming use.
Mr. and Mrs. Ohland were in attendance and stated they would be available to answer any questions
Council had of them.
Councilmember Zerby expressed concern for lack of effort to follow through on items found in
development agreements and conditional use permits by parties involved in the contract. He also
expressed concern for the complaints of neighbors regarding the noise on site. Councilmember Turgeon
stated she had no problems with the contract in this case, but shared concern for the noise on the site as a
result of the landscaping business. Councilmember Zerby stated he would like to include legal costs to
remedy any potential aspects of the conditional use permit left unresolved through the process of
expiration of the business on that site.
.
Turgeon moved, Lizee seconded, Approving a Draft Interim Conditional Use Permit Ordinance as
presented. Motion passed 5/0.
Zerby moved, Garfunkel seconded, to Direct staff to prepare a resolution with Findings-of-Fact for
an Interim Conditional Use Permit for Dan Ohland, with a condition of the permit to include
recovery of legal costs incurred by the City to secure the termination of the conditions set forth in
the Interim Conditional Use Permit. Motion passed 5/0.
Mayor Love recessed the meeting at 9:32 P.M., and reconvened the meeting at 9:42 P.M. with the
exception of Councilmember Lizee who departed the meeting at this time.
H. Shorewood Village Shopping Center- R.O.W. Escrow
Attorney Keane explained Staff and Councilmember Lizee had met with Stan Taube, owner and
developer of the Shorewood Village Shopping Center regarding issues of the right-of-way monies
escrowed for the acquisition of temporary construction easements and permanent rights-of-way at the
Shopping Center site. After a brief summary of actions regarding the quick-take proceedings for Council,
Attorney Keane explained that after hearing Mr. Taube's fairness arguments, the consensus of the group
was to recommend the escrow amount be reduced by certain sums for costs incurred as part of the quick-
take proceedings. Attorney Keane reviewed categorical fairness issues for Council.
Zerby moved, Garfunkel seconded, to require the landowner to return escrow monies for right-of-
way condemnation proceedings, less the legal and appraisal costs, as well as less the costs for
temporary easements, not to exceed $36,000 total. Motion passed 4/0.

A.
Liquor Committee Report
Councilmember Garfunkel reported the Shorewood and Tonka Bay liquor committees met jointly on
Wednesday, July 17, 2002, to discuss future operations of the Tonka Bay Liquors Store. He noted there
were critical factors involved in making this decision as the County Road 19 project would soon be
getting underway and intent needed to be made clear in this issue. He stated the City of Tonka Bay
believed any such decision was still premature, as the decision would be predicated upon the
compensation received from Hennepin County for the liquor store as part of the intersection project.
Mayor Love stated he had expressed support for Tonka Bay to Helmepin County in a letter urging
faimess as well as the maximum amount of compensation be granted to Tonka Bay in this matter.
Representatives of Hemlepin County had indicated the intersection could not proceed as planned until all
three units of government came to agreement with regard to the compensation issue.
Councilmember Turgeon whether any progress could be made on the project as a result of this issue.
Engineer Brown stated other parts of the project, such as utility work and retaining wall work, could
progress this year. Councilmember Turgeon suggested reviewing all options carefully in the next 30-60
days to determine whether the City should terminate the working relationship with Tonka Bay in the
liquor store operations.
Administrator Dawson stated a meeting of the Liquor committees would again be taking place on
Tuesday, July 23, 2002, with a recommendation to the City Council being made at the August 12, 2002,
Regular City Council Meeting.
.
B.
Making an Appointment to the Park Commission
Administrator Dawson explained interviews had been conducted this evening for a Park Commissioner to
hold the spot vacated recently by Dan Puzak on the Park Commission. He stated Sue Davis, 5495
Valleywood Circle, had been interviewed for the position and with approval of the subsequent resolution
would fill the appointed position though January 31, 2004, on the Park Commission.
Turgeon moved, Garfunkel seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 02-063, "A Resolution Making
Park Commission Appointments." Motion passed 4/0.
9. ENGINEERINGIPUBLIC WORKS
A. Reject Bids - Freeman Park Parking Lot
.
Engineer Brown stated bids were received and opened on July 17, 2002, for the Freeman Park Parking
Lot and South Access Closure to Trunk Highway 7. He noted the summary of the bids received and the
Engineer's estimate to be quite discrepant. Results of an analysis conducted by the Engineer as to why
the discrepancy was occurring with the anticipated cost of this project, yielded similarities with bidding
situations with other metropolitan cities as well. As a result of discussions with contractors with regard to
the substantial increase in bidding in the past two weeks, Staff believed the increases were based on
current fuel increases, the economy, and higher labor costs. Staff then contacted representatives of the
Minnesota Department of Transportation to verify that the compensation for this project would still be
available in the spring should Council choose to decide to reject bids and re-bid the project next spring.
After weighing all factors, Staff was recommending approval of a resolution to reject all bids and
authorize the retum ofthe bid bonds.
