" I . . . . . . , , All Districts: I The following paragraphs should be inserted as the lead paragraph for each class of district in the Zoning Ordinance~ R...l RESIDENCE DISTRICT... Purpose The R-l RESIDENCE DISTRICT is intended to establ ish areas for the development of single family housing on parcels of land approximately one (1) acre in size, in conjunction with the approved Land Use Plan for the Village of Shorewood 0 The R-l zones are intended to reserve development area$ primarily for single family housing and to restrict encroachment of incompatible uses, such as offices or retail commercial establishments. R-2 RESIDENCE DISTRICT - Purpose The R-2 RESIDENCE DISTRICT is intended to provide residential areas for the development of single family homes on parcels of land approximately one-half (1/2) acre in size. The purpose of this district in part is to allow a greater concentration of single family dwell ings in areas where appropriate reservations for open space have been establ ished by means other than individual lot areas. R-3 RESIDENCE DISTRICT - Purpose The R-3 RESIDENCE DISTRICT is intended to define suitable areas within the community for the construction of single family and two family homes of a more compact nature, yet maintain the character and amenities of single fami Iy residence areas. R-4 RESIDENCE DISTRICT - Purpose The R-4 RESIDENCE DISTRICT is intended to provide areas offering a broad development range in housing units, yet retain the environment and character of less intensive residence areas through carefully established bulk and lot area requirements. Well designed townhouse projects and low density garden type apartments would be examples of appropriate uses in the R-4 DistrlcL " . . . . . . . . ' R-5 RESIDENCE DISTRICT - Purpose The R-5 RESIDENCE DISTRICT defines areaS for the development of medium density multiple dwelling structures. It is intended that areas zoned with the R-5 classification permit the most intensive residential development where the demand for housing availabil ity is the greatest i subiect to the district provisions stated herein. The character of the R-5 District should remain essentially residential; however u provision is made for permitting related recreational facil ities, subject to conditional permit controls 0 C-1 OFFICE AND NEIGHBORHOOD RETAil DISTRICT SERVICE - Purpose The C-1 DISTRICT is intended to provide areas for the development of multiple family residential uses and grouped business and professional offices, and for the development of neighborhood commercial service areas offering retail sales and services for nearby residential areas, especially multiple dwelling neighborhoods. It is indirectly the function of this district to act as a transition zone or buffer between lower density residential areas and service and commercial districts 0 C-2 AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT - Purpose The C-2 DISTRICT is intended to provide areas particularly oriented to automotive type of services (eg: drive-up or drive-in establishments) which would properly be developed along maioI' thoroughfares within the community. C-3 GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT - Purpose The C-3 COMMERCIAL DISTRICT is intended to provide one or more areas for the grouping of general retail sales establ ishments, offices and services which offer convenient shopping facil ities for village residents and the surrounding area. C-3 District provisions and boundaries are establ ished to promote compatible land use relationships among diverse types of uses and encourage well planned development or expansion in accord with the approved Comprehensive Plan. "'. -j . . . . ' '1'''' P. 39, Article IX: The Village Attorney will review all regulations and standards in . the I ight of new information relating to environmental controls. Final note: Many minor changes must be made throughout the ordinance text to coordinate with the major changes itemized above. These are too numerous to be detai led here. However f the fi nal text wl!l be adjusted so that accuracy and darity are retained. The definitions section will also be reviewed and redrafted as appropriate. Geo. D. Gibeau Assoc.

Present: Frank Reese, Chairman Ed Abramson 'rore Gram Jack Huttner Bob Naegele, Jr. George Gibeau, Planner Jane Cole, Secretary The regular meeting of the Shorewood Planning Commission was held on FebruaFJ 8, 1973, at Minnewashta Elementary School at 7:35 p.m. 'The meeting opened with a review of the minQtes of the meeting of January 11, 1973, Frank Reese moved that the minutes be approved as written. Seconded by Jack Huttner. Motion carried. None of the regularly scheduled items for this meeting of February 8, 1973, were represented. However, two unscheduled items were reviewed by the comm- ission. Item 1: Mr. and Mrs. ~hlliam Hagen, who own property in Shorey-rood, but which borders on 'ronka Bay Village, were present to present a preliminary sub-division plot. 'Their property is just short of 2 acres, close to 80,000 sq. ft. at present. An easement which borders the property could be used for additional footage. Mr. & Mrs. Hagen would like to have permission to build a double dwelling on the back part of their lot. This dwelling would be for rental purpose~, not for sale. Water and sewer are to be brought through the easement to service the double dwelling and neighboring homes. Tonka Bay sewer is already in at the Hagen home and special permission is being petitioned for hook up to the 'l'onka Bay water. 'ronka Bay and Shorewood have both approved the water connection. The Hagens are just waiting for the official word in writing from Mr. Kelly. The $50,000 - $60,000 double dwelling to be constructed would consht of two - two bedroom units, posr>ibly ",ith a garage at each end of the dwelling and a driveway extending from each to separate exits onto Birch Bluff 110ad. 'The dwelling "lill be d.ouble level, possibly with family rooms below, and I"ill not have lakeshore or dock rights. It ';Iill have lake view. If sub- divided, the Hagen's area would consist of tvw 40,000 sg. ft. lots, each with hw families on them. (Currently, in ad.dition to the Hagens's mill home, there is an apartment garage on the property in which OnC person lives.) l'he neighbors in the area have all been contacted by Mr. & Ers. Hagen; all are in favor of the proposed dwelling. Discussion by the commis~~on enaued. Jane Cole men- tioned that the Hagen's land was lower than their neighbors, so lake views should most likely not be obstructed. A motion was made by Bob Naegele, Jr., that the planning commission recommend to the Council approval of -the sub- division into two equal lots, the south lot to be used for const~~tion of the double dwelling. Ed Abramso~suggested that the contingency is really whether the dwelling should be double or single, not whether there should be a dwelling. Frank Reese seconded the existing motion (Haegele's) with the amendment that Council approval be given contingent on the water and sewer being in and hooked up. George Gibeau cited the case of Mr. Child when he came before the planning comm~~ion to subdivide his property as a related example. Mr. Gibeau said the Hagen's only problem will be the double garage apartment and platting the land. The dwelling should be built with a non-conforming use in mind (for example, if it should burn dOIID, another double garage apartment would not be rebuilt). His advice to the planning commission was that if they go on record as recommend- ing this sub-division to the Council, they should further ~t~t~ that the concept be approved and the placement of platting lines be further studied before Council . . . SHOP.3HOOD PLANNING COM.MISSIOn Minutes-- page 2 gives final approval. rrhis latter statement was accepted by the c0mmlssion as an additional amendment to Naegele's motion. 'rhe motion noicI reads :rhat the planning commission recommend to the Council approval of the subdivision of Mr: & Mrs. Hm. Hagen's property into tvIO equal lots ,the south lotto be used for construction of the double dwelling.oontingent on the water and sewer being in and hooked up, and that the concept be approved and the placement of platting lines' be further studied before final approval given. The motion and its two amendments received a second. Motion carried unanimously. Zd Abramson brought up the fact that he thought, in view of the above planning commission's approval, that the commission ought to review again Mrs. Bjorn Carson's request to subdivide her lot near the golf course. Her request was tabled at the December 14, 1972, meeting of the planning commission. George Gibeau said possiblY it should be appealed to the Board of Adjustment. Item 2: riIr. Bruce James, member'of a group of six independent investors, and ~Ir. Earl Johnson (Phone number 938-9233), representing the above group interested in purchasing the Boulder Bridge Farro, were present to get opinions and ideas from the planning commission on their proposed venture. Their primary question was: Viould housing--especially multiple housing--be appropriate for this piece of land? The farm, which totals 93 acres, encompasses part of a swamp on Smith- tovffi Road and is bordered on the east by Howard's Point Road. The investors are interested in having this property re-zoned, if necessary. George Gibeau said that he believed it to be zoned for residential already. Mr. Johnson ex- pressed that the investors would like to keep the farm and general composure of the land intact as much as possible. They icIould like to p~3serve the barn for stabling horses, to keep the main house to be used as sort of the general "living room", and to add an indoor pool to one end of the main house--all for the use of the residents of the towcllouse-condominium development. Discussion ensued regarding the use of the lakeshore,boat docks, the beach, a public picnio area at the lakeshore, and the possibility of dredging a canal from Lake rhnne- tonka into the property. li:d Abramson stated that he believed a main question here was 11m, vlOuld you use the lakeshore relative to and to the best advantage of the mul tiple residents in the development. ;rhe proposed density of the land is 4 units per acre totaling 360 units. Members of the commission offered comment that the icIelfare of Lake Minnetonka would also have to be a big consideration. Jack Huttner and Ed Abramson offered discussion regarding the traffic flow and a possible problem from the large number of people that would be added to Hv~. //7 traffic. The question was asked if the units VIould be rental or for sale. At this time the proposed developers do not know. Their objective is to dev~ elop a quiet, country living, luxury living atmosphere. George Gii1eau stated that they should be m"are of the 8';& park and recreation dedication required of any development over 30 seres. In this case 8% would be approximately r~ acres. A cash payment could be substituted for the land dedication if the village so desired. Bob Naegele, Jr., suggested that we are going to have to start thinking of more than single family units in Shorewood. Frank Reese and George Gibeau feel that single family units would be unfair use of thie lanol (70 acres of useable land after dIiLscounting the mead01rl and pond.) Jack Huttner feels that 4 units per acre makes the density too great for tre area. Mr. Bruce James &.sked \-,hat sort of opposition Ivould the developers face 'from the established res~dents noVI in the area. Tore Gram felt that the opposition would be very hard against the development. Other commission membefls agreed. George Gibeau suggested that they would probably be coming into this under a planned-unit develoPlllent. Ed Abramson suggested a comparison betVleen this requested devel- opment and the only other such development app~oved by the village Council -- . . . SHOREWOOD PLAIDJING CO~IT~ISSION ~ MinutGs--page 3 the Amesbury property. IIle suggested that these developers should have some specified, well-define period of time in which to develop, also. Perhaps development could be regulated through development-per-acre groupings. Frank Reese said that the topography will indicate come cluster housing, some con- dominiums, some tovmhouses, etc., thus offering some variety to the appearance of the area. A final statement was expressed taat 280 families and community use of the lake shore would not be accepted by the people of the area or by the agencies protecting take Minnetonka.

Stated purpose of such proposed subdivision is to provide Lot #25, abutting on the north and under the ownership of Dr. Larson, with lake access to Christmas Lake through the east half of Lots 2 and 2A. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS Mr. Shaw presently holds title to Lots 2, 2A, 3 and 3A. An equal division of Lots 2 and 2A lengthwise would not reduce h is holdings below a reasonable lot size for an R-l Single Famil y Residential area. Also, the proposal would add another dimension to the residential character of Lot #25. Our concern here is not with the actual conveyance of land, but with the manner in wh ich it is . recorded with the Registrar of Deeds. A simple division of lots 2 and 2A would result in four unbuildable parcels of record in the Village of Shorewood. This would be ineffective platting procedure and would result in separate legal descriptions, creating unnecessary complexity. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION In our opinion, the proposed division of lots 2 and 2A is acceptable from a planning standpoint. However; the recording and conveyance must be accompl ished through a division and combination procedure which would describe the east! of lots 2 and 2A as a part of Lot 25 in a manner that would prevent the lot from being sold at a later date without some arrangement for municipal approval. The intent is to avoid creating several small lots, all of record, which may present development probl ems at a I ater date. One method that could be employed, at minimum cost to the principal s in the conveyance, would be to require a combination of Lot 3A with the west! of 2A and of Lot 3 with the west ~ of lot 2. offices in minneapolis and fargo-moorhead-phone 1-612-546-4303-1415/i1ac drive, minneapolis, minnesota 55422 . . . . . . Then Lot 25 and the east ~ of Lots 2 and 2A would be described in a single registered land sur- vey. Other means may be as suitable, but it is important to avoid creating several small lots of record. It should be noted that East Lane is a dedicated street when considering appropriate alternatives. We would recommend that lake access rights be provided through an easement agreement, thus avoiding a lot division; however, if conveyance is the method selected, some provision for permanent lot combinations should be required.

Frank Reese, Chairman Bob Naegele, Jr. Jack Huttner The regular Meeting of the Shorewood Planning Commission at the Minnewashta Elementary School at 7:45 p.m. John Marty George Giveau, Planner Jane Cole, Secretary was held on March 8, 1973, Present: NEH BUSINESS Item 1: James Buckett was present with a preliminary plat of Aud. Sub. #141, Lot 51, Plat 34460, Parcel 1610 (Vine Street) to request a variance to make the back acre buildable. The lot is 3600~sq. ft. total. George Gibeau stated J that there are two variances needed: one for lot aize for the first lot and one for frontage (less than 100') of the second lot. The frontage is roughly 60 ft. Mr. Gibeau further stated that the request looks reasonable considering the problems of the to.iography; his cnncern is to achieve a buildable lot on the south half. Following brief discussion a motion was made and seconded to recommend that the council accept Mr. Buckett's proposal. Motion carried unan- imously. Item 2: Mrs. Dean V. Johnson was present to request that sale of land be approved of Aud. Sub. #247, whe west 297 ft. of Lot 10 from the southern boundry to 147 ft. northward (! 10ft.), and that this parcel conforms with present Shorewood zoning restrictions. Mrs. Johnson was advised by the planning commission to obaain a sketch to scale of the area and the proposed division, and to submit the sketbh to the village cler~. All members of the planning commission present voted to recommend Mr. & Mrs. Johnson's pro- posal to the Council subject to receipt of the sketch before the council meeting. Item 3: A request by Richard Steen to subdivide Lot 13, Shorewood Acres, 2nd Addition, at the intersection of Meadow View Road and Town Road, (Wild Roae Lane) was reviewed by the commission. After a brief discussion, all members of the planning commission present voted to recommend to the council approval of Kr. Steen's request subject to dedication of the right of way. It should be 33 ft. instead of 27 ft. OLD BUSINESS Item 1: A discussion was conducted by George Gibeau regarding moving some old ordinances and land use plans into effect. The ordinance entitled, "Planning Principles and Policies" originally, deals with the following: R-1 Single Family Residence District; R-2 Single Family Residence District; R-3 THo Family Residence District; R-4 Multiple Fam~ly Residence District; R-5 :r:Iul tiple Family Residence District ;C--1 Neighborhood Convenience Commercial District; C-2 Automotive Serv- ice Commercial District; C-3 General Commercial District.

Present: Frank Reese, chairman Jack Huttner Tore Gram Jane Cole, secretary The regular meeting of the Shorewood Planning Commission was held on April 12, 1973, at the Minnewashta Elementary Sohool at 7:55 p.m. No quorum present. A motion was made by Jack Huttner to approve the minutes of the last meeting. The motion was seconded and carried. Old Business There was no ald business .0 be considered. New Business . 1. 1Ir. Rick Burger,and Mr. John Gabrielson of Gabrielson & Burger Development Corporation and Mr. David Kirscht of Kirscht & Associates Landscaping Archi- tects were present to submit a request for a subdivision of Aud. Sub. 133, all that part of Lot 98 & E 52 rods - into 40 lots of 18,900 sq. f.. average, and to request a variance of lot size. The designated area totals 22.91 acres and is located 2 miles west of Excelsior and just north of Highway 7, across from Minnewashta Heights. The architectural concept as presented by David Kirscht calls for single family dwellings placed on each of 40 - 18,900 sq. f.. lots in a manner retaining as much of the natural character of the area as possible. The lots meet present ordinance requirements except in lot size. The devel- opers have met with the village planner and the village engineer and have received their O.K..s. One problem exists: there is a high water table in this area. The developers intend to selectively clear the dansely wooded area for roads and homes (4.1 acres declared for roads), to install all utili ties, ( water initially to be obtained from Chanhassen), and to build the homes. There is a mill.imum of 100 ft.frontage on the road of all lots. Mr. John Gabrielson added that in keeping with reta.im.ing the naturalness of the wooded area, they will be using anatural materials in the construction of all homes. These wall be $48,000 - $52,000 homes located on $9,000- $10,000 lots. About a $2. million total development. Tore Gram stated that the planning commission ~eally cannot proceed with- out a new zoning ordinance. Under the present ordinance this proposal would require "Special Use"; under the proposed ordinances, if passes, it would require "Planned Unit Development". CUrrently, this area is zoned R-1; it could be.R-1 or R-2 under the proposed new ordinanoe. The developers responded to a question regarding how much detailed i~ vestigation had been made into acquiring water from.Chqhassen by saying they have contacted the Chanbassen Village engineer who has said it is feasible to bring water under Highway 7 to supply the new development until Shorewood water is in. Chanhassen Village has said it is interested in selling water to the developers. The main objections to the development from commission members and Shore- wood residents present were based on wanting orderly guidelines to follow before any further developments are approved so that there wall be "rhyme & reason" to ShorewoodgroWlh. Tore Gram moved that this issue be tabled until the next planning comm- ission me&ting. Jack Huttner offered the amendment &that an enginurs report be brought to the .commi;ssilon regarding drainage of the area. The motion and its alIlendment were seconded and unanimously carried. . 2.

Because of the lack of a quorum present, the commission decided to table this request until the next meeting. 3. Mr. Donald Sundell (935-5705) was present with a request for a "Special Use" permit to build a double bungalow on Lot 294, just west of Excelsior on the corner of Co. Rli. 19 and Timer Lane (Linden Ave.). The lot is now zoned R-3 and is a 62,000 sq. ft. lot. A poll was taken of the 3 planning commission members present, who felt that the proposal was in order for that piece of land. Two copies of the site plans were requested to be submitted to the village cler~. 4. Mr. John Ryan)was present to request a "varianceu in subdividing Lot 1, Block 1, Lee Circle - District 26, Plat 35070, Parcel 1500 into 2 lots. Presently, two residential dwellings joined by a breezeway are constructed on the lot. The breezeway is to be removed. A poll was taken of the 3 commission members pre- sent; all thought the reflUest was in order. 5. Mr. Ron Abresch was present requesting approval to build a second home on Lot 95, Aud.

Present: Frank Reese, Chairman Jack Huttner Tore Gram Ed Abramson Bob Naegele, Jr. George Gibeau, Planner Jane Cole, Secretary The regular meeting of the Shorewood Planning Commission was held on May 3, 1973, at the at the Minnewashta Elementary School at 7:45 p.m. A motion was made and seconded to approve the minutes of the meeting of Appil 12, 1973. Motion passed :;~animously. OLD BUSINESS 1. The first item considered was Mike Arvidson's proppsal to build a double bungalow on Lot 294, just west of Excelsior on the corner of Co. Rd. 19 and Timber Lane. Jack Huttner made a motion to accept Mr. Arvid- son's request because it had been approved once before and let lapse. A second to ~he motion made by Ed Abramson. Motion carried unanimously. 2. Mr. John Ryan's request for a division of Lot 1, Lee Circle, was considered next. Presently the lot contains a.doublebungalow ataached by a breezeway, Mr. Ryan proposed to remove the breezeway, divide the lot in half, and construct an unattached garage on the upper lot. George Gibeau stated that Mr. Ryan would need to make application for variance Que to short front footage on Birch Bluff Road plus lot size variance. Ed Abramson made a motion that Mr. Ryan's'proposal be accepted pending application for the two above-stated variances. Tore Gram seconded. Motion carried unanimously. 3. The third. item considered by the commission will be found as item #1 under New ::Business. 4. Ken Foster and Bay Eyler were present to request the subdivismon of Tract E of Reg. Land Survey 11331 locateq.,) on the NW corner of Howard's Point Road and Woodside Road into 2 lots of 20,025 sq. ft. each. Sewer is now in on both roads. Ed Abramson stated that he felt the request was in variance of the intention of the 1 acre minimum ordinance. If approved, any owner of corner lots would have to be granted a split. 'The. other commission members generally agreed. George Gibeau suggested holding this case Gver to the next meeting for Development ReYiew case to the council. Discussion ensued. Ed Abramson made a motion to deny acceptance of the request for variance. Tore Gram offered the second. Motion carried unanimously. Frank Reese offered the suggestion that Mr. Foster and Mr. Eyler could still present their case directly to the village council, and that if new ordinances are passed, they may have an easier case. The implication as seen now by the planning commission was: if approved, this would set pre- sidence for similar items in similar future cases. 5. Mr. Rick Burger and Mr. John Gabrielson of Gabrielson & Burger Development Corporation were present to request a subdivision of Aud. Sub. #133--all that part of Lot 98 and E. 52 rods thereof - into 40 lots and a,variance of lot size. Mr. David Kirscht, of Kirscht & Assoc. Landscaping Architects, presented the subdivision concept - - preliminary plat: a parcel of land (22.91 acres total), densely wooded, and in inverted "L" shape; liorders Hwy. 7 and Strawberry Lane; single family dwellings ,subdivision of 40.1 lots (1$,900 sq. ft. avg. lot size) being proposed; developers intent is to retain wooded c~~cter . . . . . . page 2 of the area; emergency access to be provided onto Strawberry Lane. Mr. Kirscht stated that surface drainage has created the greatest problem. Their intent is to drain through their st:'lm sewer system out the "upper left corner" of the area to a drainage ditch that runs along the RR line. Very careful . and selected clearing of the land is to be done to retain the original character of the land. The exteriors of the homes also are to be of natural materials. Mr. Burger and Mr. Gabrielson are requesting a "Special Use" permit for subdivision of the area into single family dwellings, plus the follwwing var- iances: a. 18,940 sq. ft. average lot size with minimum of 15,000 s,. ft. b. 100 ft right of way for roads c. 100 ft. diameter cul de sac The proposed block length of 1,500 ft. is within the ordinance. Dedicating of the roadways to be opened up at the cuI de sacs for connection with future adjacent developments is not desirable to the developers. They prefer to retain the closed, private atmosphere that the cuI de sacs provide. He#vy discussion followed. Jack Huttner stated that under the pew proposed zoning ordinances, this area is proposed R-lj the proposed subdivision would be an R-2. Perhaps the planning commiss.ion ouf;ht to "get it together" before making a decision. More discue~sion ensued on the drainage and water table level. Frank Reese raised the question of whether or not the ponding area will be their "park dedication" to the village. The developers stated that at this point they have not committed an ieea on that. Frank Reese and George Giveau stated that any subdivislbon of 3 acres or more has to dedicate 8% of the area to the village of Shorewood as "park dedication" or pay the equivalent in cash. George Giveau pointed out that he strongly recommends providing a dedicated 50 ft. roadway through one or several of the cuI de sacs, making them temporary cuI de sacs, to enable access 00 other future roads. Heavy discussion followed on that subject. The planning commission began to pass decisions on each of the variances requested but became stymied with the issue of lot size. A motion was made by Frank Reese that subject to the developers petitioning and paying the fee, a date be set on the soonest Thursday that is reasonable for a public hearing on this matter. (May 24th would be a possibility.) A second was given by Jack Huttner. Motion carried unanimously. NEW BUSINESS 1. Mrs. Eileen Saleme was present representing her father, Mr. Jacob A. Hatter, who owns 5 acres in Minnetonka Manor - Lot 2, Block 1, at Sunset .Lane and Orbhard Lane. Mr. Hatter is requesting premission to deed 1 acre on SUBset to his granddaughter and her husband. George Gibeau [and the Village Clerk] recommended that they plat the division of the whole 5 acres into acre. build- able lots for future possible use to aSBure frontage and utility app. He advised having the area surveyed and a sketch plan prepared, then returning to the planning commission. All members of the commission present concurred. 2. Mr. Harold Wartmann was present to request permission to put a double bungalow oa Lot 8, Block 1, First Add. Minnetonka Hitl, at 'Minnetonka Drive and Gillette Curve. It is a 29,000+ sq.ft. lot (223-103 s.. ft. ). There are other double bungalows presently in the area. George Gibeau stated that a variance would be needed. The planning commission moved to deny the request because there is not enough room Frank Beese made aUjIl1otion to adjourn the meeting. MotiDn seconded and carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 10:25 p.m. Jane Cole Secretary . . . . . .

Subd. #133 A request has been submitted for Planning Commission review and recommendation on a pro- posed single family residential development of 40 lots of one-half acre or less. The request would involve formal appl icotion for a special use zoning permit as required by Ordinance for Community Development proposals, and would require variance applications on the plat for those items discussed below. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS The subject tract is gently sloping and wooded with an inverted ilL" shape. Access to resi- dential lots is provided by a curvilinear roadway with 50 foot right-oF-way, and a series of cul-de-sacs with 100 foot outside diameter. One in-tersection is proposed with State High- 'Na)' #7 to provide ingress or egress for the subdivision. A ponding area has been suggested 1'0 coiled storm 'Noter runoff and additionally to provide an open natural area bonded by r()udvloy. It should be noted that tracts of an unusual configuration such as this present 5ub- stclrltla! design and site layout problems; however, the proposal submitted for your consideration offers a reasonable desian conceot in terms of function and aesthetics. '"' I The land area proposed for lot division and development lies within a somewhat larger (and fy~neralized) area indicated as suitable for planned residential development on the Shorewood Comprehensive Plan.- The proposal is, therefor'a, in accord with planning goals and objec- tions fOfrhe Village. Zoning classification, under both;-he existing and proposed ordinances, is single family residential on 40,000 square Foot lots. BeCClUS6 of this, a special use permit for a Community Development project should be applied for, and along with such application, Cl variance request to decrease the minimum lot area from 20,000 to 15,000 square feet. To meet plattin;:] requirements for the Village of Shorewood; a variance for the diameter of cul- de-sacs must be applied for. Regulations stipulate a roadway turning area JOO feet in diameter cmd Cl 120 foot property I ine diameter; the concept plan indjca~es on 80 Foot turning area and 100 foot property line diameter. This lesser area is acceptable inview of the length and I imited number of residential structures served. offices in minneapolis and fargo-moorhead-phone 1-612-546-4303-1415 lilac drive, minneapolis, minnesota 55422 . . . . . . Another variance is needed to waive the requirement for a buffer strip for lot 1, block 1 and lot 24, block 2. The requirement provides for a 25 foot easement granted to the Village for purposes of screening (through plantings) lots adjacent to major thoroughfares (TH #7). In lieu of such requirement, a planting plan, filed by the developer, which shows his intent to provide sUch screening, would be sufficient. Finally, a variance to waive the maximum 1,500 foot block length is needed. The advan- tages and disadvantages of this ore discussed in the evaluation section bel<:>w. EVALUATION The development concept should be looked at in terms of impact on the surrounding area, traf~ fie circulation, environmental considerations and demand for and suitability of the use. The following points ore pertinent: o The initial submission presents 0 "closed subdivision: design (ie. - no provision has been made for roads to extend to property limits so they could be continued when adjacent lands are developed). To rectify this, it is recommended that the cul-de- sacs serving lots 5, 6, 7, and 8, and 17, 18, 19 and 20 of block 2 be extended. with a standard 50 foot ROW out to the north and east property lines, respectively. Also, a dedicated roadway should be platted at some point in Block #1 (we suggest lots 11, 12, or 13) to eventually serve the adjacent tract. There is then no need for a variance for block lengths. o Single family residential development is appropriate for the subject tract; a density of two to three units per acre is acceptabll~. o Strawberry Lane to the west is classified as a secondary arterial on the Village Thorough- fares Plan, and should adequately serve the proposed density of development. Eventual upgrading to standards discussed in the Comprehensive Plan should be programmed. o The ponding/natural area is a sound design feature that wi II odd to the aesthetic char- acter of the development. o It would be undesirable to extend the east-west roadway through lot 105 out to Strawberry Lane, in that this would create a straight, flat, street conducive to faster vehicle move- ment than is desirable in a residential area. o Retention of as much existing wooded area as possible should be a commitment made by the developer. o A design feature that could enhance the entrance from TH #7 in this subdivision would be a divided roadway with I andscaped median. For a short distance (perhaps 60 feet) there would be an alternate means of access in case of a road blockage. This, however, is a design option not essential to satisFactory vehicle circulation within the development. . . . . . . , , SUMMARY The proposed use, and site layout concept are acceptable from a planning standpoint. The major concern we have in review of the plat is to provide for street dedication out to the property limits, so that adjacent properties could continue an internal street pattern. It would be advisable for this proposal to consider zoning and platting applications simulta- neously. .NASON, WEHRMAN, CHAPMAN ASSOCIATES, INC. George D. Gibeau, Associate AlP , " . . .

" Present: Frank Reese, Chairman Jaok Huttner Bob Naegele, Jr. Jane Cole, Secretary The regular meeting of the Shorewood Planning Commission was held on Thursday, June 14, 1973, at the Minnewsshta Elementary Sohool at 7:55 p.m. A motion was moved and seoonded to approve the minutes of the meet~g of May 3, 1973. The motion carried unanimously. OLD BUSINESS 1. Mr. William L. Hagen was present with a request for a different division of his corner lot (Grantville - Lot 1) than was originally approved (see minutes of February 8, 1973, meeting). Mr. Cullan, lflI'. Hagen's next door neighbor, and Mr. Williams, renter of Mr. Hagen's garage apartment, each wish to punchase t of the back half of Mr. Hagen's lot. The members of the planning commission present were concerned about the 1 acre corner lot for a single family dwelling that this would create. Bob Naegele, Jr., moved to aocept Mr. Hagens proposal. Jack Huttner seoonded the motion with the provision that the lot be purchased by Mr. Cullan be legally incorporated as one lot with the lot ourrently owned by Cullan. The motion and its amendment passed unanimously. NEW BUSINESS . 1. .Mr. Stefan Freeman was present to request a change in the zoning of Aud. Sub. 133 - Lots 64 and 75, First Ave. (between Highway 7 and Maple Street). After some disoussion, it was suggested that F~. Freeman oontact V.I'.

John Muehberg was present representing J M C Builders with a request to subdivide Lot 6, Grantville, parcel 9000 and 9050. A question arose as to the possibility of part of the land involved b.~overed under the new Wetlands Ordinance. Mr. Muehberg was advised to check with the village attorney about the land exempt from sewer assess- ment for wetlands and determine if enough square footage remains for large enough building sites. A motion was made and seconded to table thelJl.at~er;, until the above information has been obtained and any necessary changes be made in the division. Motion passed unanimously. 2. James Jordan was present to request approval of asudivision of Parcel 2020, on Edgewood Road (former Svithiod property). After much discussion a motion was made and seconded to approve the plat as submitted with recommendations for cutting the roadway back to 20' paved area with regular 50' right of way dedication and a hard surfaced 80' diameter cuI de sac or turn around with center planter area. The motion was amended to allow reduction of lot width if necessary in reducing the road width and moving it easterly. The motion and its amendment were passed.. unanimously. 3. James Morss was present representing the Mericon Corporation with a request to subdivide Lots 23 and 24 of Manitou Glen. Area located west of County Road 19 and south of Glen Road. The total land area involved is 3.2 acres and the request is for 17 building sites incorporating both double townhouse and four unit townhouses. The land is proposed R4 and would allow 18 units in accordance with the new zoning ordinance. The developers have consulted with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed Distrcct in regard to filling a small portion of low area for roadway purposes. A motion was made and seconded to table the request until more information is available and the commission members have had an opportunity to look over the site more carefully. The motion passed unanimously. OLD BUSINESS 1. Mr. Kramer of the Mc Nulty Company was present to answer questions that have come up regarding changes made in the development of the Amesbury property since the orig- inal preliminaty plat was 9-pproved by the Planning Commission. Mr. Kramer stated that a special contract was granted by the council to the McNul~y company a~~owing any adjustments that had been made thus far. Tore Gram stated that he would check with Frank Kelly on the matters involved and look into the terms of the 'special contract'. Dick Fredlund recommended that new drawings incorporating the changes being planned be submitted to the planning commission for review. . . . . . .

Roadway appeared.to be inadequately or improperly located and lot arrangement did not appear to coincide with buildable areas observed in field survey. ~ .- Development Review Case # 18 - Replat of Lot 6 - Grantville Addition H section #11) Problem - Design Criteria - 1. Orient bui Iding sites to the south and east for a view of the wetlands. 2. locate access road so as to not make lots on Lee Road double front- age lots. 3. Determine number of potential lots and probably lots. 4. Review USGS (or other) for topography. 5. Site must gain access to Eureka Road at northwest edge. Proposed Plat - The suggested platting shown on the attached maps would allow 4 bui Iding sites on the 4.68 acre site. Lot sizes would be 29,365 square feet, 33,920 square feet, 5] ,222 square feet and 66,443 square feet respectively. The site orientation map recommends that the house sites be at the edge of the bluff area with the axis of any future housing perpendicular to the swamp area, permitting a greater view. A problem will exist with the access road and cul-de-sac. To extend the roadway beyond that shown makes lot 3 very hard to build upon, as well as making lot 4 of Lee Circle a double frontage lot. By holding the cul-de-sac back as shown, eliminates the double frontage problem on Lee Circle and allows for 4 good building sites as shown in the preliminary sketch. It will be necessary to develop a clarification of lot width at a building setback. Do we consider the building line as flexible, consequently a flexible lot width, or does the building line mean minimum lot width at the front set- back line? In the later case, it is suggested that a building setback line be established on the plat if necessary or by deed restriction to property insure construction limits at the appropriate point. offices in minneapolis and fargo-moorhead-phone .1-612-546-4303-1415 lilac drive, minneapolis, minnesota 55422 .. . . .. , . . .

Public Hearing - on the request by Jim Jordan, owner and developer of Elm- ridge, for subdivision (Parcel 2020, Edgewood Road). Dick Fredlund offered a verbal review of the proposal. Jim Jordan presented the newest drawing of his plan. An extensive discussion ensued. Drainage of the area, especially of Lot 1, posed one of the greatest problems. Frank Kelly, Village AttorneJ, stated that the Village Engineer feels that the developer has done all he can in the limits of his property. The village would have the power to provide dralnage if enougp neighbors were effected. Bob Naegele took the roll as one of the "public" and expressed strong objections to the development: standing water in the area of Lot 1; concern over the destruction of trees on building sites; proposal not making best use of the land through creative development; felt that the developers did not do a good enough job of contacting and informing the neighbors in the immediate area. Pat Gorecki, a resident of the area, expressed concern about Edgewood Road being under water at times due to the drainage problem, as well as concern regarding the number of docks that will result from the proposed type of land division. She commented that the length of '.' ~.;.C!l;8 required by the shallow lake topograpn.1' there wll... be ln oppo~ ltlOn wlth the ,"~j(,,:t '1 i ll'l'i ted by the new lake ora.inances.

Sam Jordan entered the discussion in support of the project. No further comments were offered; the hearing was moved closed. Jack Huttner made a motion to accept the Jordan plan as present- ed. Seconded. Frank Reese added the amendment that the commission would like the council to look at P.U.R.D. as a better method to provide more control by the developer and the vill~ge. The motion and its amendment carried: four in favor; one opposed. 2. Public Hearing - on the request by the. Village of Shorewood for a Condltional Use Permit to construct a metal storage building on village property located south of County Road #19 behind the Texaco ~tation. Frank Kelly, the Village Attorney, presented the development plan for th~ area in which the shed is to be located: 120' x 50' metal shed to be surrounded by an opaque fence (about 10' or higher) and to be located on the north side of Badger Park about a 10 acre park area, and to have entrance and exit onto Club Road. Brief d~scussion followed. A motion was made to close the hearing and carried unanimously.

Sub. 133, behind the Clark Station on County Road #19. There was extensive discussion re~~ding the safely problem of entering County Road #19 at that point with large, heavy equipment, thelegali ty of granting Comb tional Use Perml t for thi s type of use in C-3 zone, and the effect on residents of Echo Hoad area from two suet oper- ations in their view.

December 11, 1973 NASON associates WEHRMAN roya. anderson CHAPMAN john o. bergly ASSOCIATES richard d. fredlund INC charles a. wittenberg planning engineering landscape architecture To: Shorewood Planning Commission From: Dick Fredlund, Planner Subject: Subdivision Ordinance conflicts Dear Commissioner: Now that the Zoning Ordinance has been approved, published and put into effect, I would like to note 0 few discrepancies in the Subdivision Regulations you may wish to ponder. First, we may be operating under more than one subdivision regulation. By title, Ordinance #11 is the Village Subdivision Ordinance and is amended by Ordinance #22. Ordinance #30 also purports to be the Subdivision Ordinance and is amended by Ordinance #49. Ordinance #30 repeals "All ordinances or parts of Ordinances of the Village in conflict with the provisions of this ordinance..." In that the conflict is in the tital and in duplication of provisions rather than intent, ore ordinances 11 and 22 repealed? Secondly, both ordinances list minimum lot area and lot widths that are in conflict with the new zoning provisions. Subdivision ordinances should not be concerned with zoning provisions, but the fact that they are places 0 conflict between "minimum zoning lotll and "minimum subdivision lot" sizes. I would recommend that ordinances 11 and 22 be deleted by reference and that 011 mention of lot sizes and widths be excluded from Ordinances 30 and 49. In addition, conflict appears between the Village Subdivision Ordinance and the state regulations. The Village Ordinance allows 5 days between publication and hearing while the state requires 10 days. The Vi IIage ordinance places the responsibility for the public hearing on subdivision before the PlanningCommission whi Ie the State law requires that the Platting Authority hold the hearings. The Platting Authority is the re- sponsible board, which for Shorewood is the Council. The State law does allow the Platting Authority to have the Planning Agency review plats for conformity, when the Planning Agency is not the platting authori ty, however, the platting authority only has offices in minneapo/is and fargo-moorhead-phone 1-612-546-4303-1415/ilac drive, minneapolis, minnesota 55422 . . . . . . ~' Shorewood Planning Commission December 11, 1973 2 60 days to act upon an application or the plat is automatically approved. If the Village Counci I appoints the planning agency or some other board as the platti ng outhority, they may not operate the subdivision regulations as an ordinance for the state law states, "Subdivision regulations shall be adopted by ordinance when the governing body is the platting authority and by resoltuion when the platting authority is an agency other than the governing body." Additionally, all plats must be approved by resolution, a certi- fied copy of which is to be submitted to the county register of deeds with the plat at time of filing. Land Dedication for Parks. This section of the state law has been revised to allow the dedication of park land or money in lieu for all land uses be it residential, commercial or industrial. It also changes the option as to land dedication or money in lieu to the Village rather than the developer and permits the money to be used for park development rather than land purchase only. It is also possible to use dedication funds for park land debit retirement. The Village Ordinance should be changed as it allows the developer the option, it also does not get maximum dollar equivalency. Present value asked is 8% of raw land value. Thought should be given to increase this to 10% of the raw land value or 10% of the land in the plat. The Subdivision Ordinance is a Iso somewhat confusing in that under the 8% land dedi- cation is specifics that the subdivision "creates a need for recreation areas, other public uses as well as streets". One could technically use street right-of-way (R.O. W.) to satisfy the park land dedication requirement. ~ O+,;lJ: A,.. ~ ~idRA-~'rrn -6 I ~d ck.JiW>I~ or MCll'l;.u i (\ (\ ~ N\\"U- k ~ ~~... t-~ ~'#'Ct~~~ 0 ~ ~~~ 'rel ~~ ~ ~<::,.h.b {.t., s~/o ~ e..-l 0Ar~ J \Ool~ W-r Q.....l,bms t \ sbl~ J.)~ ~ - 3 -'F.Jf ~~.

NASON associates WEHRMAN raya. anderson CHAPMAN john o. bergly ASSOCIATES richard d. fredlund INC charles a. wittenberg planning engineering landscape architecture According to 462.358 M.S.A., Procedure for Plan Effectuation; Subdivision Regu- lations, Subdivision 3, Plat Approval - a public hearing must be held prior to any action, approving or disapproving a plat by the Platting Authority. The Platting Authority may also refer any proposed plat or subdivision development to the Plan- ning Agency for their review and recommendation. First - Is there, in fact, any designated body responsible for holding the prescribed public hearing? Second - If there is no designated body, can the Planning Agency hold the public hearing? Third - If the Platting Authority is the prescribed body to hold said public hearing, and if said Authority is also the governing body, can they delegate the responsibility for holding said public hearing to the Planning Agency? Fourth - Subdivision 3 also states that "Unless otherwise provided by law or charter, prior to the approval of a plat by the Platting Authority, a public hearing shall be held...". Can the "otherwise provided by law or charterll be interpreted to mean, or to permit the governing body to delegate the re- sponsibility of a public hearing from the Platting Authority to the Planning Agency by ordinance? offices in minneapolis and fargo-moorhead-phone 1-612-546-4303-1415 /jIac drive, minneapolis, minnesota 55422 . . . . . . November 26, 1973 NASON associates WEHRMAN raya. anderson CHAPMAN john o. bergly ASSOCIATES richard d. fredlund INC charles a. wittenberg planning engineering landscape architecture To: Shorewood Village Council Re: Review of storage and office quarters request for the construction equipment of Mr. D. J. Schimmelpfenniz, part of lot 27, Auditor's Subdivision 133. The above request for a bui Iding permit to house construction equipment would appear to be a permitted use, with conditions, under either the old zoning ordinance or the new ordinance. Under ordinance '8, the Council may allow light industrial uses by special permit. Construction equipment and storage yards are generally considered a heavy indus- trial use, however, storage of such equipment within a structure or behind attractively screened walls, fencing or landscaping may be sufficient to provide a more liberal interpretation. A problem is that the ordinance #8 did not specify the control or types of controls that could be considered for a permit. Tho new ordinance is similar to ordinance #8 in interpretation. While the ordinance does not specifically state the proposed use as a permitted one, a liberal interpretation of the ordinance would appear to permit the types of uses proposed, if the request is handled as a Conditional Use request; the reason being that part of the interpreta:-ion of the use is partially satisfied by the C-2 District and part by the C-3 District. C-2 uses are permitted in the C-3 District by Conditional Use only, therefore, the pro- cedure should be followed. Additionally, the ordinance provides safeguards that can best be handled by conditional use. These conditions or safeguards are: 1. Storage facilities will be permitted only if they are enclosed by a 100% opaque fence of acceptable design, at least 6 feet in height.. 2. The number of parking spaces need to be determined. It is suggested there by 1 for each employee plus at least 3 for customers or visitors. 3. A complete and detailed site plan be drawn and submitted for approval. 4. No parking within 15 feet of a yard line (property line) abutting a residential zone. offices in minneapolis and fargo-moorhead~phone 1-612-546-4303~ 1415/i1ac drive, minneapolis, minnesota 55422 -';' _._" 'J- . . . . . . 5. Off-street parking shall be screened by a buffer fence of adequate design or a planting buffer screen - plans of which shall be a part of the site plan to be sub- mitted for approval. 6. Access shall be to a public right-of-way and so located as to minimize traffic con- gestion and not be a traffic hazard. 7. Parking must be on the site of the permitted use. 8. The area must be maintained in a neat and adequate manner. 9. lighting shall not be directed at the public right-of-way or at nearby or adjacent properties. 10. No curb cut within 50 feet of an intersection with the cut being limited to 24 feet maxi mum. 11. All areas not covered by building or landscaping shall be surfaced to control dust and drainage - such plans to be approved by the Village. 12. A 6 foot decorative fence or a 15 foot wide planting strip and 3 foot decorative fence along property lines adjacent to residentially zoned property - to be approved by the Vi Ilage. 13. A50 foot setback between any building and adjacently zoned residential land shall be observed. 14. A perspective drawing, including elevations, shall be submitted for approval in- dicating an architectural style compatible with adjacent existing (or proposed) developments. 15. Provisions shall be made for receptical storage of trash and wastes, which shall be screened from public view. 16. All drives, parking areas and access roads shall be paved with an all weather, dust free surface, approved by the Village Engineer. 17. All Performance Standards shall be met: A. Fire and Explosive hazards B. Electrical Disturbances C. Noise D. Vibration E. Odors F. Fly Ash, Dust, fumes, gases G. Glare H. Heat I. All State P .C.A. Standards shall be met "-. ~ ,.'" ~ . . . . . . 18. Must be connected with public sewer. 19. Access must be approved to County Road 19 by County Engineer. It should be noted that the ordinance refers only to Automotive storage and automotive repair. The II liberal II interpretation of the ordinance would mean that heavy equip- ment would have to be considered as automotive service. If this is the interpretation of such services, then the road interpretations must be applied to all other automotive services listed in the C-2 and C-3 District. In that industrial uses are not permitted generally within the ordinance, the existing districts are either going to have to accept a broader interpretation to includ border line land uses or these types of uses will have to be excluded from the Village. Additionally, if an interpretation of the ordinance is challenged, it must be strong enough to hold up. Consequently, a position is going to have to be established as to how liberal the ordinance will be interpreted which is a function of the Village Attorney's office. It would seem that if Mr. Schimmelpfenniz can meet the above conditions and if the more liberal interpretations of the ordinance is desirable, the use would be acceptable.
