Re: Shorewood Population Estimates
The number of residents Shorewood will have in 1980, 1990, 2000 or even beyond is
an important consideration in structuring a useful development guide plan. It is true
that new construction starts are guided by the approved plan, but the plan in turn is
tempered with a sensitivity to what development demands will be. Real izing this,
the anticipated population must be cal culated in as accurate a manner as possible so
that future housing, marketing, services and public facilities demands will be ade-
quately met.
Forecasting the population by any method is, at best, an evaluation of past trends
with adjustments for factors such as a changing birth rate, economic indices, school
projections, migration, I ife styles and longevity. The figures presented in this paper
represent computer projections with staff modifications drawn from 1967 demographic
activity of the Joint Program, seeking to predict population occurrences for any
number of reasons. If the results are viewed as an indication of probable occurrence,
rather than a positive statement of fact, then they become a useful tool in formula-
ting development guidel ines at the community level.

The Metropol itan PI anning Commission, forerunner of the Metropolitan Council, had
been the one agency generally responsible for political jurisdiction population pro-
jections within the Twin City Metropolitan Area. They participated in the Joint
Program with the purpose of analyzing population and marketing factors. The out-
come, designated as the Constell ation Cities Study, included a series of projections
which have become the prime resource data at the Metropolitan level. The basic
unit for model information input was the traffic assignment zone -- a series of 756
defi ned areas for wh i ch data was tabu I ated and p !"Ogrammed .

Re: Shorewood Population Estimates
Page 2 January 13, 1972
It must be recognized that the projections presented in this paper were made some years
ago; however, the results are the most comprehensive available, and are to be used
until current modifications by the Metropolitan Council are completed. A tentative
date for these modifications was given as February, 19720 With specific regard to
Shorewood, analysts at the Metropolitan Council advised that the 1967 projections
were relatively accurate, and major changes should not be anticipated. In addition,
it was indicated that computer results of the modifications would be reported by re-
gions formed from .specific traffic assignment zones, and would not initially be "split
out" into political jurisdiction boundaries in all cases. Shorewood was an area within
a region rather than a single corporate entity for programming purposes and so pro-
jections would relate to more than the community itself.
Given the above rationale, it is recommended that the population projections, as
presented, be adopted for the Shorewood Comprehensive Plan. Modification of the
figures should then be structured into the plan as available when policy revisions and/
or plan updating activity is undertaken.

MINUTES OF PLANNING COMMISSION
February 10, 1972
The following were present: Chairman Reese and Tore Gram,
William F. Kelly and the planner.
A regular meeting of the Shorewood Planning Commission was held on
February 10, 1972, at the Minnewashta Grade School library at 7:00
P. M. A quorum was not present; therefore~no formal action was
taken on any matter brought before the commission.
1. Floyd Olson was again present and filed with the commission
a revised plan for use of his property on Highway 19 as and for
multiples. The property is 2 1/2 acres in size. The revision calls
for apartment construction of 30 units, being approximately 12 per
acre. Each unit to carry with it one garage and one additional
parking space. 20 one bedroom and 10 two bedroom units proposed.
Adjoining neighbors were again present objecting to use of the land
for multiples. The planning commission informed Mr. Olson that the
commission was in the process of attempting to reduce the overall
density of the village and will continue to look for future reduction
of density. The plan was filed with the planning commission to be
left with the village clerk.
2. Mr. Warren Anderson was again present to discuss use of land
at or near Highway 7 adjoining the Village of Excelsior for multiples.
He presented to the planning commission a new proposed plan for the
development reducing the number of units and relocating the same on
the lot. The proposed plan was referred to the planner for review
and report.
3. There followed a discussion of the village's desire to reduce
the overall density from that which previously had been presented
to the public.
There being no further matters to come before the commision the
meeting was adjourned.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW CASE NUMBER 8
CLIENT: Village of Shorewood
APPLICANT: Floyd B. Olson
PURPOSE: Site Review of Proposed 30 Unit Apartment Building by Dorn Builders
County Road 19 and Glen Road
The prel iminary plat for Planning Commission consideration describes a tract of 2.68
acres which includes Lot 23 and part of Lot 24, Manitou Glen. Under existing
zoning ordinance requirements this proposal will require a special use permit and
variances as described under PI anning Considerations.
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
The subject tract is bounded on the north and east by Glen Road and County Road
#19 respectively. Frontage for this tract consists of 335 feet adjacent to County
Road 19. Lot orientation for this proposal is subject to interpretation, but using
standard evaluation techniques would be the entrance facing north. This being the
case, the rear yard requirement is not adequately s,atisfied. Twenty percent of
lot depth giving the building orientation would be -'101 feet; 45 feet are provided.
This being the case, a variance would be required under the ordinance. Also,
given such building orientation, the parking as proposed in the plat application
is situated in the front yard. This situation would also necessitate appl i cation for
a variance under the ordinance. Side yard setbacks as presented are satisfactory,
as are the grading and landscaping proposals. Sufficient parking spaces have been
provided under both existing and proposed ordinance requirements. Thirty garage
spaces and thirty-two parking spaces are shown to service the apartment building.
The structure itself is a three-story building having thirty units (20 one bedroom
units and 10 two bedroom units) for which the existing ordinance would require
78,000 square feet of lot area. Actual lot area is 116,984 square feet. The over-
all land use density works out to 11.2 units per acre.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW CASE NUMBER 8
CLIENT: Village of Shorewood
February 10, 1972 Page 2
Under the existing ordinance the zoning for this area is R-1 or one unit per acre.
Under the proposed zoning ordinance the zoning would be R-5, having a density of
from 12 to 16 units per acre. The relationship of the tract in question to adjacent
land uses (i.e.: commercial to the east and commercial zoning to the south) vali-
dates the higher intensity use. It should be noted that existing ordinance requirements
stipulate a water system satisfactory to the Village be approved before a special use
permit is issued.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Although the use concept for this tract (i.e. multiple family apartment) is acceptable
from a planning standpoint, it is recommended that the building, siting, and orien-
tation be reconsidered. Recognizing the I imitations due to topographic features, an
alternate provision for parking may be required. One option would be to provide
underground parking for at least a portion of the total required number of spaces.
This would retain the generous percentage of green area now provided, provide a
siting satisfactory to ordinance requirements and increase the aesthetic values of
the tract. It is suggested that a correction additional design be given the proposed
use, and a second preliminary plan be submitted for planning commission consideration.

The regular meeting of the Shorewood Planning Commission was held on June 8, 1972 at
the Mi nnewashta Elementary Schoo I Library at 7 :00 PM.
Old Business
(1)
Mr. Tore Gram requested confirmation on the Zoning Distri ct change from
R - 2 to R - 1 for the area situated north of TH #7 and east of Manor Rd.
This change had been discussed and recommended at the May 18, 1972 joint
Council - Commission special meeting. The planner advised the change wds
noted and would be reflected in the zoning District Map prepared for the
coming informational public hearings.
.
(2) Mr. Chester Norman was present for Planning Commission recommendation for
a proposed subdivision of part of lot 217, Aud. Subd. #135 (Map 10). The
subdivision request was submitted at the May 11 regular meeting. Development
Rev i ew #9 was presented, and the need for fu II, 20,000 sq. ft. lots was
eXplained to Mr. Norman. A request by the Commission for a sketch plan of
the entire tract showing prepared lot divisions and access will be complied
with. No formal action was taken.
(3) Development Review #8 was distributed to Planning Commission members. This
case relates to the development of double bungalows adjacent to the golf course
in an R - 1 District. Applicant for a Special Use Permit, W. F. Kel~, presented
the request for property development of part of lot 55, Aud. Sub:!. 133 (Map
13) at the May 11 regular meeting. The special Use Permit was recommended
at that meeting subject to environmental and design concerns stated in Develop-
ment Review #8. Such recommendations have been forwarded to Council.
New Business
.
(1) Mr. Roland Larson was present regarding the proposed zoning of Lot 7, Aud. Subd.
#133 (Map 8). The tract, approximately 9.8 acres is currently proposed for R - 2
(20,000 Sq. ft. lot area) zoning. Mr. Larson was so informed and the purpose
of the R - 2 District was explained by Chairman Frank Reese. Request was for
information only; no action was taken.
"

.
.
~/ 3/7~
(2) Mr. Jim Dutcher was present to request information on a proposed replatting
of lots 5 and 6, Shorewood Terrace Addition (Map #12) into three lots. The
area in question is in a proposed R - 3 zoning District (two family; 15,000
sq. ft. lot area per unit). Lots 5 and 6 consist of approximately 80,000 +
sq. ft. combined, and the developer has in mind the construction of two
double bungalows between and adjacent to two existing similar structures
(on lot 4 and lot 6). Mr. Dutcher was advised that, although the use
concept was appropriate for the area, a minimum 100' frontage requirement
is applicable, and the total lot area falls short of the stipulated 90,000
sq. ft. for 6 units (one double bungalow existing on lot 6 and two proposed
under the replatting proposal.) Mr. Dutcher felt that the necessary adjust-
ments could be made to meet existing and proposed ordinance requirements.
Request was for information only; no action was taken.
(3) Mr. Albert Johnson was present with a property conveyance request for
Tract C of Lot 113, Aud. Subd. 120. No replatting was involved, and Tract
C has 44, 720 square feet to be developed with a single family residence.
Mr. Johnson was advised that his property is a lot of record and no Planning
Commission or Counci I action is necessary to authorize the conveyance.
No formal action was taken.
(4) Mr. Russ Lindquist was present with a request for property conveyance in-
volving Tracts 1 and 1 of Government Lot #7. The property owned by Mr.
Robert Woods involves no replatting or use change. Mr. Lindquist was also
advised that, as these were recorded tracts, no Commission or Counci I
action is necessary to complete the conveyance. No formal action was
taken.
(5) The planner presented Commission members with the most recent zoning
text amendments to study. A tentative joint Council - Commission to
discuss zoning regulations was set for 19 June 72. Written notices will
be forwarded with date and time confirmation.
Meeting adjourned at 9:30 PM.

Meeting of July 13, 1972
The regular meeting of the Shorewood Planning Commission was held on July 13,
1972 at Minnewashta Elementary School at 7:30 p.m.
Old Business
Old business, in the form of Planning Commission review of final text changes in the pro-
posed zoning ordinance, was suspended by agreement due to the I imited number of mem-
bers present.
New Business
.
(1) Mr. John Ryan was present with a request for information regarding the subdivision
of lot #1 in Lee Circle (Map fl). This tract, slightly less than one acre in size, is
situated in a proposed R-2 District (20,000 sq. ft. lots). Mr. Ryan was informed of the
pending ordinance revisions, and he decided to postpone any action on his part unti I the
new zoning revisions have been presented. The eventual intention will be to divide the
tract into two roughly equal lots for single family residential development.
(2) Mr. Child was present regarding the subdivision of Lot 3 in Grantville subdivision
(Map II). Mr. Child had a threefold request for Planning Commission consideration,
as follows:
a) A question on the amount of his property which would be needed to real ign the
jog in Birch Bluffroad at First Street. Mr. Child indicated he had been contacted
by the Village Engineer regarding a possible agreement to effect this.
b) The feasability of vacating the platted but undeveloped segment of First Street,
north of Birch Bluff Road. This segment is designed in part as an access road to
the lake; however, topographic features would prevent this function, in that the
North terminus is a bluff. The road reservation is a 66' R.O.W. at this time.
Mr. Child suggested that some exchange of property (i.e. - Trade of land re-
quired to straighten Birch Bluff Road for part of the vacated street reservation)
might be worked out.
.
c) A request for the Planning Commission to advise on the possibility of subdividing
Lot 3 in Grantville Subdivision. This lot is approximately 150' x 310' and
would be divided into two lots roughly equal in size. Although this property is
in an area which is classified as R-1 under both existing and proposed zoning or-
dinances, Mr. Child submitted an exhibit (see enclosed) describing dimensions
.
and areas of neighboring lots which were less than the minimum standards re-
quired. Mr. Child was advised to check with the Village Engineer regarding
information on property necessary for road real ignment; also, that the road
vacation and property subdivision requests would be considered at the next reg-
ular Planning Commission meeting following preparation of a Development Re-
view by the pi anner.
3) Mr. Jim Dutcher was present with a request for concept approval on the replat-
ting of lots 5 and 6, Shorewood Terrace Addition (Map #12). Mr. Dutcher had
presented a similar request (for information only) at the last regular meeting (see
minutes of June 8, 1972). However, since that time the Village had contacted
him regarding sewer easements across these lots, and he felt he would like to have
a response from the Village on this replatting request concurrent with his agreement
to allow the publ ic easement. Mr. Dutcher was advised that the Planning Com-
mission could make a recommendation to Council if an appropriate plat of the pro-
posed land subdivision was submitted for review. Following discussion, Mr.
Dutcher indicated he would file a plat with tbe Village Clerk prior to the next
(regular or special) meeting of the Planning Commission. It was agreed that a de-
velopment review would be prepared, and the Commission would take action on
this request at the next meeting.
No further business was brought forth, and the meeting adjourned at 10 p.m.

CLIENT: Vi II age of Shorewood
Appl i cant: Chester Norman
PURPOSE: Review of land subdivision request for part of lot #217, Aud. Subd. # 135
(Map 10)
The subject tract consists of 5 acres abutting Excelsior to the north and bounded by Glencoe
Road to the south and east. A request to plot three lots of 1.94 acres, 2.0 acres and an
approximate 14,500 sq. ft. respectively, was submitted at the May II, 1972 regular meeting.
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
The layout of the sketch plan accompanying the subdivision request describes one major tract
division into two roughly two acre parcels, and one lot plotted in the northeast corner with
an 85 foot frontage on Glencoe Road and a mean depth depth of 163 feet. The property
division line of the two major parcels suggests the possibility of future plotted lots by
resubdivision.
.
Two or three considerations should be noted in anticipating future development, even though
that may be several years away. Property division will allow development to occur any-
where on a plotted tract. It would be well to plan for resubdivision at this time, and
include easements for eventual access roads. Without such land reservationsu it is
necessary to either condemn or plot around obstacles when new development occurs. In
reviewing the plotted lots to the west of the tract in question" it is conceiveable that they
will eventually be resubdivided, halving their depth. This would necessitate a street for
access along their east property line and the west property line of the Norman tract. A
minimum 25 feet (half street) easement might be made at this time along the north-south west
boundry of the Norman Tract. (The land would still be included in all area computations,:
it could not be developed, however).
Another arrangement would be to provide for a 50 foot street easement running north-south
in a central position within the Norman tract. Lots could then be plotted both to the west
offices in minneapolis and fargo-moorhead-phone 1-612-546-4303-1415 lilac drive, minneapolis, minnesota 55422
..
,J
-2-
. and east of the easement.
EV ALUA TI ON
In both the above situations, the proposed lot in the northeast comer of the tract should increase
its depth in an amount sufficient to meet the proposed 20,000 sq. ft. lot area requirement. If
other lots are plotted at a later date, an odd sized 14,500 sq. ft. lot wot'Jld not have to be
coped with. Also, it may be appropriate here to suggest that a tentative sketch map be
submitted by the subdivider showing possible future parcelling thoughts. Although having no
bearing on the present plotting request.!' it would show the relationship of these divisions to an
orderly lot division for the entire tract.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDArJONS
The proposed plotting arrangement should not be recommended unless a logical division of the
entire tract into lots with appropriate access can be proposed. This sketch would be prepared
by the subdivider and would be attached to the file to show his thoughts for future reference
when resubdivision requests come in. The sketch would not be binding.!' but would be a means
for assuring orderly land division by having applications which differ from the former plan
provide a suitable sketch plan to justify the new proposal.
The small parcel in the northeast corner should be enlarged in area to a minimum of 20.!'000 sq.
ft. If so doing would create unreasonable hardship.!' then the varience procedure should be
employed.

APPLICANT: Wi lIiam F. Kelly
PURPOSE: Use concept evaluation for development of double bungalows" in
Residential District on part of lot 55, Auditor's Subdivision # 133 (Map 13).
An informal and preliminary request for a Planning Commission recommendation regarding
issuance of a Special Use Permit to allow increased density development in the southwest
part of Lot 55 was submitted at the May II", 1972 regular meeting. No sketch plan was
available.
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
The subject tract abuts Yellowstone Trai I to the south and the golf course to the east.
Development intent is to utilize a portion of the Yellowstone Trail frontage nearest the golf
course for construction of a minimum of two double bungalows for rental purposes. Individual
lot areas of approximately 20,000 square feet would be provided. One access road serving
the units for ingress and egress was described.
. EVALUATION
The tract is in a proposed R-I zoning district (single family 40",000 sq. ft. lots). However! the
Planning Commission has recognized the desirability of effectively utilizing residential areas
situated near public or quasi-public open spaces. This is stated as an appropriate objective
for Shorewood in the comprehensive planning program.
The case under consideration presents a request for higher density residential use adjacent to
an area which offers sufficient light.. air and aesthetic qualities to justify such development.
Although design quality and the placement of structures and accesses cannot be reviewed at
this time, the concept of a more intensive residential use adjacent to an open area appears
acceptable in this instance. It is essential to retain sufficient vegetative and tree cover
to maintain the natural environmental qualities now existing. Additionallyu an undesirable
impact on the character of the area could occur through excessive grading or poor structural
design, placement and orientation.

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
The concept of increased density for the subject tract is appropriate from a planning stand-
point . Subject to the submittal of a sketch plan indicating the locaf'ion Clnd type of
structures to be developed, the issuance of a Special Use Permit is recommended. Conditions
should be attached to such permit as necessary to protect environmental qualitjes.ltshould
be noted that the tract will not be subdivided; the dwellings will be rented, cmd th~.tract
remains intact. Sufficient lot area for each unit has been indicated in the development
request.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW CASE #12
APPLICANT: Mr. S. R. Child
PURPOSE: 1) Feasibil ity of vacating First Street dedication north of Birch Bluff Road.
2) Recommendation on acceptability of subdividing lot #3, Grantville Sub-
division.
Mr. Ch ild1s requests are in the form of concept proposals rather than actual development
applications at this time. The proposals are inter-related in that a subdivision of lot #3
would be affected by any increase in lot area through the vacating of First Street. The
recommendations presented in this review are in discussion form, and both Planning Com-
mission and Council action should come only after submittal of a formal application.
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
.
Vacation of First Street: This dedicated but undeveloped roadway has a 66 foot right-of-
way width from Birch Bluff Road to the lakeshore. It was platted as publ ic access to the
lake; however, topographic features prevent this function, in that a bluff along the lake
exists in the area. At the present time, Birch Bluff Road serves the lakeshore lots, and
no future resubdivision of lot depths is anticipated. Mr. Child indicates that the dedi-
cated area remains generally unused by the public. Development of First Street above
Birch Bluff Road as a 66 foot roadway would not be necessary to serve traffic or access
demands in the area.
An option presents itself regarding the disposition of this land:
1) Vacate completely the dedicated right-of-way
2) Retain a reduced width for public access (ie~ 25 feet)
Of these, it is the opinion of the Planning Staff that a complete vacation of the roadW€lY
would best serve Village interests. Access for emergency services is provided on Birch
Bluff Road, the area is of low density residential character and the terrain generally un-
suitable for public lake access.

r
Division of Lot #3 in Grantville Subdivision: A second and related request involves the
resubdividing of lot '3. Taking into consideration the meandered lakeshore, lot dimen-
sions presently are 150. x 250., or 37,500 square feet. Subject to the determination
regarding the vacation of First Street adjacent to lot #3, (and assuming an equal divi-
sion of vacated land reverting to adjacent property owners) the following situations could
prevail for a replat to two lots:
With no street vacation:
With 4]1 street vacation:
With total street vacation:
2 lots @ 18,750 square feet (751 x 2501)
2 lots @ 21,313 square feet (85.250 x 2501)
2 lots @ 25,620 square feet (91.50 x 2500)
Although this lakeshore area is designated as R-1 (40,000 square feet single family resi-
dential lots) on the proposed zoning map, a provision has been included to permit
20,000 square feet lots following special evaluation of the character of the area and
impact on adjacent uses. The exhibit submitted by the applicant indicates that adja-
cent uses to the east and west average roughly 26,000 square feet lot areas (this aver-
age would be somewhate lower when computed from the meander line of the lake).
Given the existing character and density of use, it is our opinion that a division of lot
#3, Grantville, which would achieve a minimum of 20,000 square feet lot areas would
be acceptable.
SUMMARY
1) It is recommended that that dedicated portion of First Street north of Birch Bluff
Road be completely vacated and revert to adjacent property owners in equal parts.
All administrative and land value costs should be at the discretion of the Village Coun-
cil. (It will be necessary to reserve an appropriate area of dedicated right-of-way
for the realignment of the "jog" in Birch Bluff Road.)
2) Following verification of the Child exhibit, the subdivision of lot #31 Grantville,
is appropriate and should receive Planning Commission recommendation subject to the
drafting of a formal, detailed request for this purpose; and subject to the minimum lot
area requ i rement of 20,000 square feet.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW CASE #llA
CLIENT: Village of Shorewood
Applicant: Super Valu Stores, Inc.
PURPOSE: Review of Shopping Center Development Concept; T. H. #7 and #41
A preliminary commercial development proposal, for discussion purposes and dated 11-22-72,
has been submitted by Super Valu Stores, Inc. for Planning Commission consideration. The
concept relates to a roughly nine acre tract consisting of lots 173, 172 and part of lots 171
and 170, all in Aud. Subd. #135 (Map 10).
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
An evaluation of the area in terms of its suitability as a commercial zone was completed in
Development Review #11, dated 9-5-72. It is sufficient to note at this time that the pro-
perty acqu isition recommended therein has been included in this development proposal,
and such additional land has been either purchased or optioned.
.
The task of this review is to comment on the actual development concept, as described in
the plan dated 11-22-72. Generally, the proposal is for construction of a neighborhood
convenience commercial center including a supermarket, variety, drug, cleaner and hard-
ware stores, and four or five miscellaneous shops whi ch may offer specialty goods. Al-
though no topography, grading or landscaping plans have been submitted, it is known from
avai lable information that the placement of the stores along the north and east lot I ines is
the most suitable from a construction standpoint (the central and southwest sections of the
tract are low areas requiring fill material).
19.8% of the overall tract is covered by buildings with provision for expansion area of the
supermarket. A. total of 481 parking spaces with 900 turning movements are provided
Wheel stops (curbing) are provided for the east and west perimeter parking banks. Interior
vehicle circulation drives range from 25 to 32 feet in width. Three access-egress points
are proposed.

o ~.~nd~c~il1g7 Buffering, fencing:. Only minimal intent is reflected in the plan sub-
rrcitted, Landscaped area could be increased directly south of the "Miscellaneo'Js

cic-c1ing to the rear of the buildings. Any intended screening of loading areas ar:d
waste receptacles should be indicated, as should the height and materials of fencing.
The character of landscaping (ioe,: grass, gravel, shrubs, etc.) should be designated,
o Parking Area; This is a major concern from a planning standpoint. The overall area
and number of spoces provided exceed recognized standards; however, the layout
could be improved to facilitate ease of access to stalls and better control for inter-
nal movement, If the main parking banks were altered to allow 600 rather than 900
stallsJ and coupled with one way traffic control signs, a more convenient and mOle
efficient movement could be effected, 600 stalls would require a net loss of 71
spaces in the main banks. (Stall dimensions are computed with 18' depth and 11'
width)o Planning standards indicate that 391 spaced would be generally adequate
for a shopping area of this designi mok ing the recommended changes would provide
a total of 410 spaces and increase the lane widths and landscaped area to the west
by a total of 60 feeL
o Pedestrian Circulation: Create one central pedestrian walkway (minimum 6' width)
using concrete wheel stops, posts and chains or other suitable method, for safety in

. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
This review is made on the basis of the site plan submitted and other information avadob1e fO
the planner. The commercial use concept as a cluster convenience center is appropriate,
The design concept should be modified as indicated above, with additional information pro-
vided (signs, landscaping, traffic controls, etc,) as a courtesy to the Village, before :::on-

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW CASE #11
CLIENT: Village of Shorewood
APPLICANT: Robert Reutiman
PURPOSE: Review of proposed rezoning of lot #172 Auditor1s Subdivision #135 (Map 10)
from residential to commercial.
Mr. Reutiman presented a verbal request at the August 10 regular meeting of the Planning
Commission to rezone the subject trad from its present residential classification to a
general commercial classification. The request was for concept approval, and no sketch
plan or formal rezoning appl ication was fi led.
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
Lot 172 of Auditor's Subdivision #135 is situated immediately north of an approximate
four acre tract (lot 173) which is zoned commercial at this time. The area of the subject
lot is 87,000+ square feet, or roughly two acres. No access or dedicated R.O.W. serves
the lot.
.
The described purpose of the rezon ing would be to provide a total six-plus acre area for
convenience retail shopping and service uses. The general character of lot 173 abutting
TH #7 is service commercial at this time. The subject tract would be desired to provide
additional depth, facilitate parking and vehicular circulation, and provide expansion
area for the commercial node. To the west of the general area, Woodruff Avenue, for-
merlya platted R.O.W., has been vacated so that Linden Drive is the nearest public
north-south route.
EV ALUA TI ON
Given the expansion plans for this commercial node, the additional acreage that would
be provided by lot #172 is both appropriate and desirable. Service commercial and
shopping plaza type uses require sufficient acreage to accommodate the vehicular traffic
generated by them.
It should be noted, however, that the north property line of the subject tract abuts
directly on R-2 (proposed) residentially zoned property. A rezoning action should ac-
knowledge the need for suitable buffering and/or screening to protect the adjacent sin-
gle family areas. (Topographic features may accomplish this in part). A second concern

.
.
.
. .
from a planning standpoint is the "jogil in the property line of residential lot #170. It
would be sound planning to extend lot #172 west for an additional 52 feet at the mini-
mum and an optimum measure wou Id be to extend west to the former center! ine of vacated
Woodruff Avenue. The reason for this suggestion is to avoid having single family resi-
dential tracts abut on both the south and east property lines.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The request to rezone lot #172 from residential to commercial use is appropriate and should
be approved, subject to the concerns noted in the evaluation above. Efforts should be
made to minimize the impact of commercial uses on residential areas and squaring proper-
ty lines will help in this regard.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW CASE #10
APPLICANT: Mr. James Dutcher
PURPOSE: Replat of lots #4, 5, 6, & 7; Shorewood Terrace Addition (Map #12).
A sketch plan submitted by Mr. Dutcher showing a proposed replat of lots #4, 5, 6 &
7 of Shorewood Terrace Addition has been submitted for review and comment by the
Planning Commission. The replat is intended to provide one additional lot for resi-
dential development by altering existing lot lines.
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
.
The subject tract is bounded by railway trackage right-of-way (100 ft.) to the north,
County Road 19 to the south and unsubdivided lands on the east and west. The lots
in question form the east half of Shorewood Terrace Addition. The proposal would
split lot #5 into two lots and alter property lines on lots #4, 5, 6 & 7. The area is
suggested for R-3 zoning under the pending ordinance (two-family, 30,000 square
feet lot area). One access road, Shorewood Lane - a cui - de - sac - serves all
lots within Shorewood Terrace Addition.
EV ALUA TI ON
The intended residential use of the lots in this proposal coordinates with suggested
zoning changes under consideration by the Village. The character of the developed
area is two family residential structures on adequately sized lots. The replatting re-
quest is drawn in a manner to ensure a minimum of 30,000 square feet for each lot.
Although this sketch meets zoning requirements, it sacrifices good subdivision design
principles, especially for lot #5. It is recommended that the IILII shape for this lot
be redrawn when the preliminary plat is prepared and that the south property line be
a straight connecting line between the cul-de-sac and the east property line. As the
sketch now stands, lot #4 has lost all east frontage abutting the natural area and pond
situated in Auditor's Subdivision #135. This property line adjustment may require a
varience to allow a sl ightly smaller area for lot #5, but will simplify future land con-
veyance, util ization, setting of fence lines, ownership problems and so forth. Such
varience is recommended from a planning standpoint.
.

~
.
A second suggestion, more of a procedural nature, is that when the plat is submitted, a
renumbering of the lots (in a clockwise direction) be effected so that there will be a se-
quence of from one to eight rather thdn platting a lot 5 and 5A.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The sketch plan is an appropriate request for use of land. The resulting increase in resi-
dential density from 14 to 16 units will not affect the existing character of the area, ex-
pecially considering the naturdl lowland and pond to the east. It is recommended that
the use request be approved subject to alterations on the prel iminary plat as described
above. The plat should, in addition, show all required data itemized in the Subdivision
Regulations (preparation date, Topography, adjacent ownership, utility and street ease-
ments and dedications, vegatation, total acreage, etc.)

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW CASE #13
CLIENT: Village of Shorewood
APPLICANT: Excelsior Covenant Church
PURPOSE: Evaluation of proposed site plan
The applicant has submitted revised site plans for the purpose of constructing a church
and accessory uses north of TH #7 on the west parts of lots 29 and 30, AuditorRs Sub-
division #141 (Map #2).
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
The subject tract is situated adjacent to the north frontage road of TH #7, The Village
of Deephaven abuts the north boundary, and tracts abutting on the east and west have
a proposed R-3 zoning classification. A definite variation in topographic features is
evident, with a 30 foot elevation range (980-1,010). A number of mature trees enhance
the site. The proposal describes two access and egress points, at Excelsior Boulevard
and the TH #7 frontage road. Excelsior Boulevard would provide the major access
facility with a 241 road-way leading to the parking lots and building entrance. The
secondary access road approximates a 15 foot width, exiting south of the development
onto the frontage road. This road would be gravel surfaced. Drainage patterns for
storm runoff is to the southwest for most of the site, with the east parking lot draining
to the sou theast .
EVALUATION
The use proposed for this tract is appropriate and acceptable under the existing zonirng
ordinance without application for a special permit. The site plan is logically laid out
and relates well both to terrain and adjacent land areas, Some specific points should
be mentioned, however, regarding the mechanics of the plan:
. The proposed grading plan indicates a gentle slope occurring just east of
the north access road at its point of intersection with Excelsior Boulevard.
There may be some interruption of a direct I ine of sight for cars executing
a left hand turn onto Excelsior Boulevard due to this slope. To prevent
this possibility, a reshaping of contours to form a more gradual rise at the
critical corner would be suggested.

.
.
.
The secondary access road to the south could be an important factor in traf-
fic dispersal during peak periods. Although the intersection with the fron-
tage road is an existing roadway at this time, it might be well to adjust
and widen the last few feet to approximate a 900 intersection for a more
efficient and safe traffic egress. Subject to traffic flow patterns, this road-
way may require improved surfacing and widening at some later date.
. Surface water runoff from the north park ing lot flows to the southwest cor-
ner and appears to continue in a line which would intersect with the re-
taining wall west of the building. Unless storm drainage facilities are to
be provided, it would be appropriate to design a sl ight swale or depression
in contours to carry runoff around rather than over the retaining wall.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The use proposal and site plan submittal are acceptable from a planning standpoint.
Suggestions advanced in the evaluation above are minor techn ical design problems and
do not affect the overall recommendation that the plan be accepted by the Village.

Present: Ed Abramson

Tore Gram
George Gibeau, Planner
Jane Cole, Secretary
The regular meeting of the Shorevood Planning Commission was held on October 12,
1912, at Minnewashta Elementary School at 8 p.m.
Old Business
Mr. Jim Dutcher was present regarding the platting of Lot 1, Auditor's SUbdivision
133, into lots of 2-family dvellings. Three different design concepts vere
presented by Mr. Gibeau and Mr. Dutcher:
Plan A:
Plan B:
Plan C:
Cluster concept - common open space provided.
Full tract utilization - caried placement.
Conventional platting - deep lots of linear arrqgement.
.
Mr. Gibeau offered the thought that if Plan A is used, some provision or agreement
must be filed at time of approval and deed recording so that the common open
space will retain common use when the lots somedq revert to multiple ownerships.
A covenant approved by the Village Attorney might be the best means to assure this.
Also, Mr. Gibeau suggested a lot adjustment of reducing the number from 10 lots to
9 of about 130'x200-; making the access road 50' wide centered on the corporate
limits of the Villages of Shorevood and Tonka Bay and having an approximate 1000'
access length with a terminal cul-de-sac of a 50' radius; and resolving the
water supply prior to any approval for the development. In addition. Mr. Gibeau
recommended that some variation in structure placement should be provided. Mr.
Dutcher stated that the natural topography of the area should take care of that.
Both Mr. Dutcher and the members of the Planning Commission present agreed that the
above mentioned features of concept Plan A should be altered before submitting the
final plat, but that the overall proposal of Plan A prOVides the most beneficial
use of land and best design elements. The commission members present approved
the concept. Mr. Dutcher was advised to draw up a full preliminary plat and file
it with the Village Clerk to be reviewed by the Planning Commission and to be
passed on to the Council for approval.
There was no new business.

Mr. Frank Reese introduced the matter of Riparian Rights and Non-Riparian
Owners and offered a brief explananation of the same. Since a quorom of
commission members was not present, this subject will be reintroduced at the
next planning commission meeting.
Old Business
A publio hearing was held as requested by Jim Dutcher for a permit to
construct two family dwellings on each of 9 lots located on Lot 7,
Auditor's Subdivision #133. Mr. Frank Reese presented a brief history of
what has taken plaoe in the development of ideas for Mr. Dutcher's request at
previous meetings. Mr. Dutcher then presented his request before the public
and stated that he does not want to develop the whole area as in the con-
ventional manner, but wants to leave most of it in its natural state. Bill
Keeler and Mary Marske raised the question of how would Mr. Dutcher assure
that the natural area would remain natural over the years. Mr. Dutcher
stated that this would be filed in a covenant. The five members of the
public each in turn raised further questions pertaining to keeping the whole
area in its natural state (totally undeveloped) or the possibility of the
railroad being vacated in the future and the area being presevved for trails.
Mary Markse posed the question regarding the cost to the Village for the new
access road needed to serve the development. Mr. Dutcher said that the
owner of the development property would be assessed for the road, also that
the road would be properly constructed and on solid soil so that maintenance
should not be excessive. Bill Keeler raised the question of the number of
children per family unit that this two family development would bring into
the schools and increase the tax-payers' responsbility. Mr. Dutcher said
that because the property is not homesteaded, this type of unit has been
averaging less than two children per family.
There being no further questions, the planning commission will reconvene with
a quorom before the next Council meeting to consider Mr. Dutcher's request
as well as the public's concerns as reoorded in these minutes. A
recommendation will then be made to the Council. Mary Marske questioned
the closed commission meeting at which this issue will be decided. Mr.
Reese stated that only a recommendation is to be made at that meeting; that
it is the Village Council who will make the final decision. He stressed
that the Planning Commission will oonsider equally the questions raied by
the publiC and the request made by Mr. Dutcher. Mary Marske also raised
the question of why the minutes of all Village legilative meetings are not
made public; i.e. oopies mailed to all residents of Shorewood, or the
minutes printed in the newspaper, or posted in an easily accessible public
place. This question was outside th realm of the Planning Commission and,
therefore, was unanswerable at that time.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW CASE #14
CLIENT: Village of Shorewood
APPLICANT: James J. Dutcher
PURPOSE: Evaluation of residential development concept plan:
(Map 12)
Lot 7, Aud, Subd, # 133
The applicant submitted, at the 9-14-72 regular Planning Commission Meeting, three sep-
arate concept plans for proposed development of ten 2 - family rental units on a 9.8 acre
tract in north central Shorewood adjacent to the Village of Tonka Bay 0
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
Lot 7 of Aud, Subd. #133 isdtuated along the north corporate limits of Shorewood, boun-
ded on the south by the Minneapol is and Sto Louis Railroad. The tract contains 9.77 acres
of wooded land developing a gradual slope to the north. A contour range for the mean
depth of 375 feet is approximately 15 feet (9500 to 9351), The tract has a gentle and
heavi Iy wooded knoll in its southwest.. quarter, forming a natural buffer area to the rai Iway,
The subject land is suggested for an R-2 zoning classification under the proposed ordinance
(Two - Family, 20,000 square foot lot area). The developerls intent is to construct ten
double bungalow units for rental purposes initially. Anew access road would be provided
to serve the un its.
EVALUATION:
Lot 7 has a north orientation towards a natural wetlands area located in Tonka Bay. This
low area is marshy and no development is anticipated in the foreseeable future, The con-
cept plans submitted to the commission would provide each, or a majority (Plan B)ff of
the proposed structures with a site location facing the natural open area.
Mr. Dutcher has presented three different design concepts, each fulfilling a different pur-
pose as follows:
PlanA:
Plan B:
Plan C:
Cluster concept; common open space provided
Fu II tract uti I ization; varied placement
Conventional platting; deep lots of I inear arrangement
offices in minneapolis and fargo-moorhead-phone 1-612-546-4303-1415 lilac drive, minneapolis, minnesota 55422
.
.
.
Under the existing zoning ordinance, a Special Use Permit would be required for Plan A.
Plans Band C could be developed without special application following plat approval and
recording. However, Plans Band C result in complete parcelization of the tract? which
would demand extensive individual lot maintenance and would attach wooded open
space for the development to private lots 0 Plan B necessitates greater road construction
cost and isolates lots one, two and three between private property lines and/or the rail-
way 0 Property I ines form unnecessary jogs with this concept. Plan C provides conven-
tional platting concepts to fulfill all ordinance requirements, but eliminates potential
design features for innovative land use.
Firom a planning standpoint, Concept Plan A is by far the most appropriate for this tract.
Certain features should be altered before submitting the final plat, but the overall pro-
posal provides the most beneficial use of land and best design elements.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDA TI ONS:
It is recommended that Plan A be considered for recommendation to Counci I with the fol-
lowing notations:
o
Although proposed initially as rental units, it must be recognized that the par-
cels may be sold in the future. A basic and desirable feature of Plan A is the
availability of common open space for use of from 18 to 20 families. Some
provision or agreement must be filed at time of approval and deed recording
so that such common area wi II retain common use when the lots revert to
multiple ownerships. A covenant approved by the Village Attorney may be
the best means to assure th is.
o The access road proposed to serve the lots should be a cul-de-sac rather than
the straight 500 RoOoW. shown. Two variations are possible: A) a mid-
point turn-around with roughly equidistant road lengths on either side; or
B) an approximate 10000 access length with a terminal cul-de-sac of a 500
radius -- recommended. (This should run to lot one rather than to the tract
boundary 0)
o If feasible, some variation in structure placement should be provided 0 (Al-
ternatives are front yard and landscaping or a variation of architectural de-
sign and building materials.)
o The road way should have at least one-half platted within Shorewood cor-
porate limitso This will result in either a 250 adjustment in lot lines (to the
south) or the el imination of lot ten and the widening of lots one through
nine (recommended).

Meeting opened at 7:50 with Olairman Frank Reese call ing the meeting to order. First
agenda item called was Mrs. Bjorn Carson, requesting permission to replat lot 71, Aud.
Subd. #133, (Map 13). Mrs. Carson had previously appealed to the Commission for lot
division at the meeting of 8-13-70, and again informatlly in the winter of 1971. The
request involves the division of the 51,401 square foot lot into two equal parcels, each
having approximatel y 80 feet of frontage on 2nd Avenue. Discussion centered on the
variance that would be necessary to plat lots smaller than an acre in size, and with less
than 100 feet of width at the front setback line. Planning Commission minutes pertaining
to th is request presented at the earlier date were reviewed. The suggestion was again
made that an effort to acquire additional land to the north or south be made by Mrs.
Carson. She indicated that there is a problem with an inaccurate lot line survey on
the tract to the south owned by Mr. Semen, and that he was reluctant to sell land
until a new survey has been completed. She will check with him again regarding a
possible sale. After a thorough consideration of Mrs. Carson's request, the motion
was made by Tore Gram, seconded by Jack Huttner that the request be tabled. Motion
passed unanimously.
The second agenda item involved a review of the rezoning request from residential to
commercial for lot 172 and parts of lots #170 and 171, all in Aud. Subd. #135 (Map 10).
Mr. Verle Poffenberger, Super Value Store Development Manager and Mr. D. H.
Mi ckelson, Real tor were present to present and discuss a cluster commercial development
concept which is proposed for the area in question. Development Reviews 11 and
l1A, relating to rezonif'l3 and design considerations respectively, were distributed by
the consultant, Concerned residents present regarding this proposal included Wm.
Keeler, Mrs. John Millet and Melvin W. Johnson. Informal discussion ensued focusing
on noise and traffi c concerns that could be generated by the shopping area. Mr.
Johnson requested some assurance that the hill bordering the north tract line would not
be cut away for development purposes thus reducing an effective buffer to TH #7
traffic noise. Mr. Poffenberger responded that some cut would be necessary; however,
an adequate grade would be maintained to provide the bufferi ng effect. Ed Abramson
noted that, as far as rezoning is concerned, it is better to have a larger tract that is
well designed rather than small unrelated commercial uses. Mr. Keeler stated that
nearby Li nden Street has onl y a narrow surfaced roadway, and is not adequate to carry
traffic filtering from the shopping area. Mr. Poffenberger indicated that it might be
possible to control traffic flow through signing, access redesign or other methods.

SECTION 9 PLANNED UNIT RESIDENT!AL DEVelOPMENT (P.U .R.D.)
Subdivision 1. Purpose.
The provisions of this section of the zoning ordincmce are intended to provide residen-
ticl! areas which can. be developed with sOme modification of the stlf'id application of
regulations of the RFJ, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5 Residence Districts in accordance with
the provisions and regulations contained herein.
P.U.R.D.ls canbedeveloped within any Residence Dh,triet with the overall popula-
tion density or number of living units permitted to be constructed in general confor-
mance with the provisions of the basic: zoning district in which it is located. If a
P.U.R.D. is proposed in an existing single-family district, higher densities may be
allowed than. those permitted in the R-1 zoning district with the specific density deter-
mined by the Planning Commission and Council. . However, rather than strictly en-
fqrcing the concept of uniformity of housing types in each district, this provision will
encourage:
1. Flexib!l ity in residential land development to benefit from new technology in
building design and construction and land development.
.
2.
Vqriety in the organizotion of site elements, building densities and housing
types.
3. Higher standards of site and building design through the use of trained and
experienced Land Planners, Registered Architects and/or Landscape Architects
to prepare plans for all Planned Unit Residential Developments.
4. Preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics and open-space.
5. fv10re efficient and effective use of land, open-space and public facilities.
Subdivision 2. Permitted Uses.
Within a P.U.R.D. no land or buildings shall be used except for one all' more of the
following uses:
1. Dwelling units in detached, semi-detached, attached", multi-storied 5tructull'es
or any combination thereof.
.
.
2.
Educational, religious.. culturql or recreational facilities that are designed and
intended to serve the residents of the Planned Unit Residential Development. The
burden of proof shed I fest upon the applicant to show that such non-residential uses
are designed and intended for the primary use of the residents in the P .U.R.D. b'
provided further that no such stated uses shall be cel1structed until 50 percent of
the total dwelling units contained in the entire project are c(j)mpleted. B'CompletedB'

Article X of th is ordinance.
. Subdivision 3. Area", Setback, Height and Lot Coverage Regulations.
1. Lot Area Regulations~
a. The minimum total lot area shall be not less than 10 ac::res. lots of less
than 10 acres may qualify only if the applicant can. show that the minimum
lot areqrequirement should be waived because a P.U.R.D. is in the public
interest and that one or both of the following conditions exist:
(1)
Unusual physical features of the property itself or of the surrounding
neighborhood are such that development under the standard provi-
visions of the Residence Districts would not be appropriate in order to
cO!Jserve a physical or terrain feature of importance to the neighbor-
hood or community.
.
(2) The property is adjacent to or across the street from property which
has been developed under the provisions of this section and will
contribute to the amenities of the neighborhood.
b. A P.U.R.D. may provide for a variety of housing types in any one of the
basic residential zoning districts. The total number of dwell ing units
allowed in a development shall be determined by either: (a) the area
standards of the zoning district in which the proposed development is
to be located, or (b) the density specified by the Planning Commission
or Council i consistent with the intent of the Shorewood Land Use Plan.
A plan may provide for a greater number of dwell ing units per acre than
would otherwise be permitted by the regulations otherwise applicable to
the site, but if the density or intensity of land use exceeds by more than
10 percent that permitted by the regulations otherwise applicable to the
site, the applicant has the burden to show that such excess will not have
an undue and adverse impact on existing public facilities and on the
reasonable enjoyment of neighboring property. !n no case shall the density
.
.
.
.
of Dwelling Units per acre (DUlAc) exceed 100% of the standards stated
for the originol zonlngdistrlet. General guldel ines to be followed in
meeting this requirement insingle-family districts <:Ire. as follows~ R-1 --
4 DulAc; R-2--4 DUlAc; R-3--DU/Ac. The Planning Commission and
Coundl,in determining the reasonableness of the increase in the
authorized dwell iog units per acre, shall recognize that nncreased density
may be compensated for by additional private amenities and by increased
efficiency in public facilities and services to be achieved by: (1) the
IQcation, amount and proposed use of common open-space, (2) the loca-
tion.. design and type of dwell ing units! and (3) the physical characteristire:s
of the site.
2.
Front, Re<:lr and Side Yard Building Setback Regulations:
Building setbacks from all property lines which form the perimeter of the total
property in the P.U .R.D. or from all interior and exterior dedicated street

lot Coverage:
a. The total ground area occupied by buildings in a P.U.R.D..shall not
exceed twenty percent of the total site area in the project. If the
total project is to be staged as regulated below! open-space shall be
provided so that the ground coverage of each stage shall not exceed
the maximum allowable coverage.
b. There shall be a maximum floor area ratio (F.A.R.) of 0.5. Flc::>>or
area ratio shall be determined by dividing the sum total of the gross
area of all floors of the principle structures on a site by the gross
area of the total site.
.
Subdivision 4. . Buildi!)g and Site Design, Construction and Maintenaoce Regulations:
1. Jv40re than one building may be placed on one platted or recorded lot in any
P .U.R.D. Areas for single-family detached dwellings must comply with the
Shorewood Subdivision Ordinance in all respects not specifically noted infhis
section as appropria e variances or waivers.
2. A P..U.R.D. which nly involves One housing type, such as all detached or
all attached units, shall not be considered as inconsistent with the stated
purposes and objectives of this section and shall not be the sole basis for
denial or appro\\7al.
3. Architectural style f buildings shall not solely be abQsis for denial or
approval of a plan. However, the overall appearance and compatibility of
individual buildings to other site elements or to surrounding development will
be primary consider tions in the review stages of the Planning Commission
and Council.
4. No building permit hall be granted for any building on 'and for which a plan
for a P.U.R.D. is i the process of Village review or which does not conform to
the approved final Ian.

6.
Open-Space:
A primary function of the P ..U.R.D. provision is to encourage development
which will preserve and enhance the worthwhile! natural terrain. characteris-
tics and not force intense development to utilize all portions of a.givensite
in order to arrive at the maximum density allowed. In evahJOIting each indi-
Yidual proposal the recognition of this objective will be a basic consideration
in granting approval or denial including but not limited to the following:
a. The amount and location of common open-space shall be consistent
with the stated purpose and intent of this section.
b. All common open-space shall be labeled as such and as to its intent
or designed functions.

other provisions, if made part of the final plan may be modified, enforced!
removed or released as deemed necessary by the Village Council for the
preservation of the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of all
Vi II age res i dents.
