A stockade sjyle fence to enclose the entire property con- structed of at least 7,gn knife peeled white cedar, (such as a No. 2020 Norcraft displayed at local distributors). This should be set six inches above the ground. 2. This fencing must be in place by ~he time the storage building 1s occupied or a date agreed upon by the builder and the Echo Road residents. We ccnsider this necessary due to excuses that may arise from shortages, delivery delays, etc. ~mich may convenience the tenant or builder. 3. The fence must be kept in good repair to keep children out and to satisfy the visu~l requirements of this permit. 4. Trees planted outside said fence to be in accordance with the design by Larry D.

Schimmelpfennig to include ten silver maple tree3 2~ inches caliper, thirty feet off center and six Black Hills Spruce four feet above the ball and burlap. Because these trees trill serve as visualsciteening as well as enhance both the Schiwmelpfennig and adjacent village "park" property, it is neccessary these trees be properly nurtured. replaced if dying, and cared fer toprcduce the desired results not just a "one shot" planting to fulfill perrnitrequirements.

Public Hearing - Tonkawood Condominium Dwellings - Lots 23 &: 24 Ma.ni tou Glen. At the request of the Mericon Corporation represented by Jim Morss the Planning Commission held a public hearing in regard to the development of 18 dwelling units on a 2.8 acre site located at the intersection of Glen Road and County Road #19. A number of residents of the area were present to objeot to the density of the proposal and the traffic problem that would be created at the intersection of Glen Road and County Road #19. Several residents also raised the question of the drainage difficulties already being experienced in the area and. the effect Ii development of this type would have in the future. Commission member Jack Huttner expressed the concern over setting a precedent in allowing a P.U.R..D. of less than the 10 acre minimum oited in,;"the new zoning ordinance. With no further disoussion offered a motion was made and seconded to olose the hearing. The motion carried unanimously. Jack Huttner then offered a motion of denial of the application for a change of zoning from R-4 to '?P.U.R.D. on the grounds that this aotion would set a precedent in future zoning requests and that the development did not meet with the requirements of a P.U.R.D. inasmuch as (1) the total area is not a total of 10 acres and (2) the devel- opment proposal deleted the required dedication of a public street to serve the area. Members Huttner, Peterson and Watten voted aye, Reese nay. The request denied. 2. Mr. Jim Dutcher was present to request a public hearing on a revision of his Wild Duck Addition located in Aud.

Public Hearing _ At the request of James Dutcher, a public hearing was called to request approval of the Wild Duck Second Addition (Lot 1'& 8, Aud. Sub. 133.) Mr. Dutcher proposes to develop the grosS area of 680,000 square feet into nine double bungalow units and twelve single family units with a green area of 108,250 square feet. A number of residents of the area were present and expressed concern in regard to additional traffic flow and the need of upgrading wedgewood Drive to facilitate that increased flow. They also felt a reduction in the speed limit would be necessary. A motion was made and seconded to recommend to the council that the proposed development be approved with special attention given to road width and speed limit. The motion was amended to also recommend the council make special note, of hOw all off-site improvements will be p;>-id and installed and the well size be taken into consideration in regard to becoming a potential water supply to the surrounding area. The motion and its amendments passed unanimouslY. Old Business - 2. James Morss of the Mericon corporation was present in regard to further review as suggested by the council. After a lengthy discUssion of the merits of approv- ing the development as a p.U.H.D. or H-4 with variances, a motion was made to rec- ommend approval of the development on the basis of the layoUt and land use concept as zoned H-4 with the necessary variances and stipulations to insure that nO un- usual hardships will be inflicted on the surrounding neighborhood. The motion was amended to recommend that the village attorney work out all legal problems for the best interest of the village and the engineer be directed to make a stildy of drain- age problems and make the necessary recommendations to the developer. The motion passed with Heese, Huttner, Gram and Watten voting aye, Cole nay. 1. Mr. Warren O. Larson was present to request the subdivision of 4.22 acres of Lot 89 or And. Suh. 133, located between Wild Hose Lane and Smithtown Hoad. A variance in lot width would be required as the four lots range in wiOlth from 111.51 feet to 108.00. All four lots comprise more that the 40,000 square foot area. A motion was made and seconded to recommend approval of the division with the lot width variance. Motion carried unanimouslY.

I have had an opportunity to meet with Bernie Mittelsteadt and members of the council to discuss with them the problems which we as a village will be faced as we now begin to develop as a full- fledged municipality. By that I mean, areas will now be developed with so-called "off site" utilities rather than what was previously an "on site" utility program. In the past the only thing we had<to concern our- selves with were the problems of road and zoning questions. The developer or homeowner had the task of meeting our requirements for an on site sewer and water system and little or no attention was paid to the problems of storm drainage, lighting and the like. In the past a subdivision could be developed a lot at a time without adversely affecting village services or utilities, or really affecting the village in any way. With the coming of sewer and in some cases the desire for water, and with more attention being paid to the ecological problem of storm drainage, the village must look to the successful development of the entire tract. Now each plat which is approved must have roads, sewer installed, and in some cases water, and certainly provision for drainage to serve all lots regardless of whether they are built on. or not. -2- " This means the village must either take steps to set up a procedure to guarantee that the developer is financially. capable of constructing the required utili- ties within a set limited period of time, and if not done, that his bonding company will complete the work all in accordance with the standards of construction and inspection developed by the village, or the village must in light of financial limitations consider its ability to construct the utilities in accordance with its standards and look to the developer for re-payment within a short period of time. In both instances the village obligation is to insure that the utilities will be constructed correctly, promptly, and paid for by the developer. The practical problem is that all of these costs are front end expenses which require cash money from some source, all before houses are built. . ....... The question to be decided is: What is the best course to be followed by the village; that is, should the sub- divider be authorized to contract for his own utilities, paying for the same and also paying for village inspection and providing the village with a 150% performance bond until the same is completed, or should a subdivision agreement be entered into wherein the village constructs and finances the utilities and looks to the subdivider for re-payment. In the past we have been fortunate in having developers in the village who have exhibited acceptable financial responsibility. With the exception of one developer, we have not been faced with partially completed subdivisions. Be assured, Mr. Dutcher and his associates have always been financially responsible and there is no reason to believe they will not continue so in the future. The question for the village, however, is to determine, before a plat is approved, the proc.edure which will guarantee the public will not be asked to support or pay for the cost of utilities and other improvements necessary for all new developments. Maybe the developer could be offered two alternatives with either the village or the developer having the option of selecting one of the al- ternatives as follows: 1. a development contract, or - 2. a procedure to be followed to guarantee that the developer himself will complete the re- quired work including bond assurances all delivered and approved before final plat approval, and prior to preliminary plat approval iron out and agree upon all details. -: , . . ;. -3- To this end I am enclosing a copy of a suggested form subdivision agreement designed in this instance to apply in the Wild. Duck plat. I am also enclosing suggested procedures which could be adopted in the event the sub- divider chooses not to enter into a subdivision agreement. I sinderely hope the Planning Commission will have the time to study the two methods of providing utility services and the problems and benefits of each. If the Planning Commission so desires I would be pleased to be present to explain in further detail my thinking behind the two pro- posals. I would hope that before plat approval is made a recommendation to the council on handling ~f utility construction will be arrived at by the Commission. KELLY AND LARSON WFK: mw c.c. Planning Commission .. . . SUBDIVISION AGREEMENT This Agreement made and entered into this day of , by and between the City of the Village of hereinafter called "Village", and , a Minnesota corporation, hereinafter called Shorewood, "Subdivider".

The Subdivider hereby petitions the Village to construct the improvements. 2. The.Subdivider shall contemporaneously with the execu- tion of this agreement deposit with the Village cash or a letter of credit in the amount set forth in Exhibit "A" representing the estimated cost of such improvement established by the Village Engineer in the amount of $ , and collectible by the Village three years from date hereof if the cost of the improve- ment is not paid in full by the Subdivider prior thereto. 3. The Village shall forthwith proceed to construct the petitioned items pursuant to the legal method of making public improvements in accordance with the appropriate statutes of the State of Minnesota; that special assessments may be levied therefor, in which event they shall be payable within a three year period; that the deposit hereinbefore referred to shall be applied by the Village in payment of the improvements for the entire subdivision and the amount so applied and used for the purpose of paying for such improvements shall be deducted from any special assessments levied or to be levied as hereinafter provided. 4. It is understood and agreed that the amount set forth in this agreement is an estimated cost only and the entire cost as finally determined inClUding interest, engineering, attorney fees and clerical shall be paid by the Subdivider and shall be due and . . . " payable to the Village within a three year period from the date of this agreement. It is further understood and agreed that the Subdivider will pay 7% per annum interest on all special assess- ments which may be required to be levied by the Village. 5. That within 120 days after securing a building permit for a residence to be constructed on a lot within this subdivision, ,or at the time the Subdivider orders a certificate of occupancy for a residence constructed by him, whichever is sooner, or at such time as the Subdivider shall sell a lot within the subdivision, the Subdivider shall deposit with the Village cash equal to Ii times the total of all assessments for such lot as estimated by the village engineer and set forth in Exhibit "A". That such deposit shall be made until such time as the final cost of the improvement is determined and paid to the Village; that the Sub- divider agrees he will order the certificate of occupancy for all residences constructed by him on lots within the subdivision. The deposit made for each lot shall be applied by the Village first to such lot and then the balance to the deposits to be made for the entire subdivision. Further, the Village shall thereupon either reduce the amount of the letter of credit by the amount of the deposit or, if cash has been escrowed by the Subdivider, return to the Subdivider cash equal to the amount of the deposit. 6. That the Village, upon compliance with this agreement by the Subdivider, and upon payment of 125% deposit for a parti- cular lot, will furnish all required guarantees to the Veterans Administration, Federal Housing Administration, and/or lending institutions to the effect that the listed improvements will be made and that the particular lot will not be assessed therefor. 7. The improvements listed on Exhibit "A" include items which the Subdivider is not required by the Village to install but which the Subdivider for his benefit desires to have con- structed. The Subdivider requests the Village provide water by means of a connection with the adjoining municipal water mains and it is understood and agreed the estimated cost of the water service includes the Village's required payment for such connection plus $300.00 per residential unit for future construction of a village municipal trunk system. It is further agreed the esti- mated cost of sewer laterals includes $300.00 per residential unit for those vnits not previously assessed as an A, B or C unit as defined by village resolution. The estimated cost shown in Exhibit "A" does not include SAC charges levied by the Metropolitan Sewer Board or municipal sewer house permit charges, nor water permit or water meter costs. 8. In the event the Subdivider, his heirs, successors or assigns violate any covenants and agreements herein contained, the Village is hereby granted the right and privilege to declare by resolution the entire sum covered by this agreement due and payable and the Village (a) may immediately bring legal action against the Subdivider to collect the sums covered by this agree- ment, (b) immediately proceed with a special assessment of all ~ots benefited by the improvement, or (c) by resolution formally call for the forefeiture of the cash deposit or letter of credit and reimburse itself for the cost of the improvement from such deposits and funds. -2- 9. The Subdivider agrees to pay the Village reasonable attorney's fees and expenses to be fixed by the court in the event that suit or "action be brought to enforce the terms of this agreement. 10. The improvements listed in Exhibit "A" to be constructed by the Village shall be made under a contract let by the Village and constructed in accordance with plans and specifications approved by the Village engineer and the council, and made under and pursuant to the appropriate statutes of the State of Minnesota. 11.

SANDERS EXCELSIOR, MINNESOTA 55331 AREA CODE 612 474-5977 March 20, 1974 Mrs. Elsa Wiltsey Shorewood Village Office 20630 Manor Road Excelsior, Minnesota 55331 Dear Elsa: I am enclosing five copies of a draft of a proposed new subdivision ordinance for Shorewood. This is the ordinance which we reviewed in your office. Would you forward a copy to the members of the council for their consideration. To facilitate their study of the ordinance, the following is a brief outline of the changes from our present subdivision ordinance. (1) Page 2. Subdivision has been rewritten to require filing with the villag~ clerk of a dimensional map prior to approval of subdivisio~~ a division of land into three lots or less. Prior approval of the planning commission has been eliminated. (2) Page 4. Preliminary Plat Procedure. Six copies are to be filed together with a cash fee of $150 plus $5 for each lot. This brings the cost offtling plats in line with the charge for rezoning and PURD's. (3) The initial hearing is to be held before the planning commission but not earlier than 20 days after filing with the clerk and only after a preliminary plat has been filed which contains all required data. Additional time is to give the planning commission an opportunity to study the proposal prior to the hearing. All costs involving the plat is paid by the village out of the cash fee paid by the subdivider. (4) Page 4. The engineer to submit his report to the planning commission prior to the hearing on the preliminary plat on the question of feasibility of street location and construction as well as the feasibility of serving the lots by municipal sewer and municipal or community water, together with recommendation on street drainage problems. . . .

Function of the planning commission reviewing the preliminary plat is to determine: a. If plat conforms to design standards. b. Feasibility of serving lots with municipal utilities. c. Recommendation of a method by which such utilities could be financed and constructed. (6) Page 5. Council to consider and act on preliminary plat within 90 days of filing report by planning commission. Approval of preliminary plat by council shall include election by council of method of financing and constructing municipal utilities, as well as approval of requested variances. (7) Page 6.

Mrs. Elsa Wiltsey March 20, 1974 Page 3. . (15) Page 11. Lots to abut on a publicly dedicated street or approved private street; minimum lot size to be in accor- dance with the Shorewood zoning ordinance for the area. In computing minimum lot square footage, no portion of the adjacent public or private street shall be used in computing lot size. The width, length and debth of lots to be in accor- dance with the Shorewood zoning ordinance, as well as side lot lines. Undivided lots created as a result of cluster housing to carry required easements to the village for open space. (16) Page 12. Subdivisions shall be required to meet provisions of Shorewood zoning ordinance, wetlands ordinance, and various plans of the village including traffic, utilities and storm drainage plan. (17) Page 12. Not only would $150 per lot be required as a contri- bution to the park fund, but also in those instanc.es where more than one living unit is constructed on one lot $150 for each such living unit shall be contributed to the park fund. This is to provide for equal contributions in instances where multiple units are constructed on one lot. (18) Page 12. The minimum width of a finished road surface reduced from 30 to 24 feet. (19) Page 13. In subdivisions served by community or municipal water, concrete curb and gutter to be installed on each side of the finished surface of the streets and the width of the street to have a minimum width of 30 feet. (20) Page 14. Utility Improvements. All lots shall be served by a municipal sewer system. All lots shall be served, where available, by municipal water system or, where practical and on approval of the village engineer, by a community water system, or if a municipal or community water system is not available, individual water systems. (21) Page 14. Drainage facilities and easements to be provided for drainage of surface waters in accordance with the storm drainage plan adopted by the council. (22) Page 15. Financing. Before a final plan is approved by the council, the council shall elect a means by which the required improvements shall be installed and financed. Standards in making its election are set forth in the ordinance and generally consider the complexity of the construction, effect of the construction upon existing municipal services, effect of the . . . Mrs. Elsa Wiltsey March 20, 1974 Page 4. construction on owners of land other than the subdivider, the number of lots to be served and the potential number of owners of property who will be benefited by the improvement. (23) Page 15. The two elections are as follows: a. The village may elect to install the required improvements under the terms of a cash escrow agreement (generally this would be a letter of credit rather than actual dollars set aside), the amount to equal 1i times the village engineer's estimated cost of the improvement. Terms of the agreement to provide that the village install the improvements within three years from date of approval of the plat and within that period the subdivider will pay all costs of the improve- ments and if not so paid, the village to claim the amount held under the escrow agreement and apply the same to the cost of the improvement; or b. The village may elect to allow the subdivider to pay the cost of the special improvements in the subdivision and install the same by means of private contract in accor- dance with approved plans and specifications. Before the final plat is approved, the subdivider to submit a perfor- mance bond or cash escrow agreement satisfactory to the council in the amount of 1! times the engineer's estimate of the cost of the improvements. Terms of the bond or agreement to be such to assure that the construction will be completed within the required three year period in accordance with approved plans and specifications, and all costs of the improvements be paid by the subdivider and if not, the bond or escrow money will be available for claims by the contractor and village. c. Under either election, the subdivider is required to pay the subdivision's share of cost of trunk facilities including water, sewer and storm drainage, as well as the village's cost for professional consultation and review of plans, specifications and inspections. (24) Page 16. Variances and exceptions. In cases where the sub- divider requires variances from the terms of the subdivision ordinance, the subdivider is to be required to file a written request for such variance. It may be granted by the council by a 4/5th's affirmative vote after holding a hearing on the variance. The hearing may be held in conjunction with the council's consideration of the preliminary plat. This is an important public hearing in that the effect of granting the . . . Mrs. Elsa Wiltsey March 20, 1974 Page 5. variance will no doubt result in a variance under the zoning ordinance. This hearing would be in addition to the hearing held by the planning commission. It is not proposed that this draft be the final draft of the ordinance, but it does point up some important questions for the council to con- sider. Such as (1) Will Shorewood approve private streets? (2) What should be the minimum width of the improved surface of private and public streets? (3) Should the square footage of streets be included in computing the minimum size of lots? (4) Should concrete curbs and gutters be installed? (5) Should multiple units contribute to the park fund in the same manner as single family housing? (6) How should future municipal utilities be extended? Should the contractor have the right to install them under private contract or should the village construct its own municipal utilities? (7) What method should be devised to insure all future utilities which are constructed, if done by the contractor, are paid for or that money is available to pay the same? (8) Should the village, in light of its present undertaking of developing a drainage plan and the recurring requests for community water, consider the advisability of setting up special fund into which all new subdivisions would contribute to and pay for . its share of the trunk systems which some day will serve the addition? In accordance with the mayor's request, I am forwarding copies of the ordinance draft and this letter for distribution to the planning commission.

GENERAL PROVISIONS A. Short Title This ordinance shall be known as"City of 'Village of Shorewood' Subdivision Ordinance". B. Purpose Each new subdivision becomes a permanent unit in the basic physicial structure of the future community, a unit to which the future community will of necessity be forced to adhere. Piecemeal planning of such subdivisions, without correlation to thecommunity's plans and planning standards, will bring a disastrous, disconnected patchwork of plats and poor circu- lation of traffic. In order that new subdivisions will contribute toward an attractive, orderly, stable and whole- some community environment, adequate municipal services, and safe streets, all subdivisions hereafter platted within the Village shall fully comply with the regulations hereinafter set forth in this ordinance.

OLD BUSINESS 1. Public Hearing - Held for Tom Layton, representing JMC Builders, requesting subdivision of Lot 6, Grantville, requiring road frontage variance. Mr. Layton stated that therecare 4.69~a'O~estobe subdivided into four lots with one (1) single family home on each lot; the lot sizes range from 23,900 to 44,000 square feet. Variances are requested for Lots 3 and 4 for lot width. Mr. Jack Mullen, area resident adjacent to the building site, expressed the conce.rn of his wife and himself over the size of the project's road, feeling 30 feet is too wide for that neighborhood, concern for the wildlife in the proposed development area, deer in particular, and concern that the proposed houses will be too close together. Mr. Duncan Storlie, neighbor of the proposed area, strongly Ur~ed that the planning commission and the council take a look at what useable spaoe will be built on to see if the buildable space oonforms6with the surrounding area. He requests that careful consideration be given to see if this plan will be packinghouses into the area before granting the requested variances. Mr. Layton stateo.' that (1) the maximum size of the proposed homes would be 30'x 7O-aO", (2) although heds planning to install a 30 foot street with<,100 feet cul-de-sac (because the village ordinance requires this) he would also favor a smaller street and cul-de-sac, (3) he does favor curb and gutter, possibly favors the village installing street and sewer, (4) water be provided by individual wells, (5) the wetlands will not be filled in, and (6) drainage for the cul-de-sac be provided by a catch basin pipe (culvert) running on the line between Lots 1 & 2 into the marsh behind. The rest of the street will drain back down to Eureka. Mr. Layton also stated that they speculate the building to begin in June and to be completed by the end of the year. Public hearing closed by motion and second. Unanimously approved. Discussion followed. A motion was made by Ed Abramson to. get a report from the village engineer and to hold over this item until the next meeting. A second to the motion was made by Jack Hutt- ner. Motion passed unanimously. 2. Public Hearing - Held for Warren O. Larson, Shadylawn Manor, requesting subdivision of Aud. Sub. 133, Lot 89, (between Smithtown Road and Wild Rose Lane), a total of 4.22 acres into four one-acre lots. Also requesting a var- iance for lot width. Following a brief discussion, Frank Reese made a motion, . . . P.C. 4/11/74 (con't) seconded by Ed Abramson, to table this item until the engineers report is in at the next meeting of the planning commission. Motion carried unanimously. NEW BUSINESS 1. Mr. Elmer Lawrence, of 25840 Eureka Road, was present with a request that a yard light installed and owned (billed to) by Mr. Lawrence, but which is now on the public right-of-way, be turned OYer to the village. This item to be referr- ed to the Council. 2. Mr. Dave Nixon was present requesting advice on ~roposed use of Lot 213, Aud. Sub. 135 as Federal Assistance Program Sec. 231 for Housing for the Elderly. Seven acres are currently involved, with the possibility of acquiring up to 9-10 acres total. Mr. Nixon stated that he is thinking of the possibility of townhouses under the ordinance, or a retirement home. Only informal discussion conducted by the planning commission. 3. Mr. J. L. Kakach was present requesting approval of the division of Lot 148, Aud. Sub. 135, a total of 65,700 square feet. Mr. Kakach also presented a re- quest for double bungalows to be built on the ~hree parcels of land. (Parcel B = 22,500 square feet; Paroel C = 23,200 square feet; Parcel D = 18,200 square feet.) Discussion: Cost of servicing the lots B and C with a street would be very expensive; parcel D not appropriate for double bungalow (however, not 30,000 square foot lot); parcels B & C would meet requirements for single family dwellings as they are, but perhaps double bungalows better suit the area. The planning commission unanimously r~commended that the village eng- ineer review this plat and submit his report to the planning commission. For- mal recommendation withheld until r~port submitted.

SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION Present: Frank Reese, Chairman Jack Huttner Ed Abramson Tore Gram Jane Cole Vern Watten Frank Kelly , Attorney Bernie Mi'ttelsteadt, Engineer Robert Naegele, Jr., Council Liaison A special study meeting of the Shorewood Planning Commission was held at 7:45 p. m. on April 23, 1974, at the Minnewashta Elementary School. There was no formal agenda. The primary subject was the proposed changes in the Subdivision Ordinance. Main points brought forth during the informal discussions were as follows: 1. With regard to the installation of streets, sewers, and utilies- and whether to be private or by city installation- Ed Abramson recommended that the items in question be written up on an agreement and signed by the developer and the city so that there will be no room for error. 2. Bernie Mittelsteadt presented a "Typical Sections for Streets" chart showing specific density areas of the city: Street Sket ch A- 24' minimum width with rolled bituminus curb; 50 ft. right-of-way; required only in areas that are 1 acre or larger (R-1). Street Sketch B- 24' minimum with curb and gutter; 50 ft. right-of-way; for areas where all utilities are in and lot sizes are 1 acre + (R-1). Street Sketch C- 30' minimum (8' for parking) with curb and gutter; 50' right-of-way; for areas where therlirj:s'..eithe:n:Lathrough street requiring a wider street or where density is 2 units per acre or less (R-2, R-3, R-4, etc.) Street Sketch D & E- 36' and 44' widths with curb and gutter; 66' right- of-way; proposals for state aid streets. In addition, Bernie recommended that curbs and gutters to be installed for easier city maintenance that no house to be located lower than the street level be approved unless the back yard drains into a lake or something similar, and that a storm sewer system of some sort will be necessary for certain areas of the city. Many of these areas now undeveloped because of high water table and bad drainage will be developed eventually. Recommends this policy: When new development comes in. it must be required to pay in its share of the future system which the development of his project has helped to nessitate. He presented a graph (see attached) showing how the charge for the future storm sewer system could be in direct relation to the runoff per square foot. Bernie stated two main objectives behind his recommendations: a. to encourage the better deve19pers to come into Shorewood, and discourage the developers who might get started and then dump the unfinished project on the city. b. to make sure the developer puts in and pays for everything he should so that future city residents do not have to pay for his mistakes. Bernie added that the city will be having a water system in about ten years; we should be escrowing now from new developers (developments) for their fair share into the fund for the future. 3. Frank Kelly recommended that the city not allow privat~ streets to be installed by developers because the police will not patrol private streets, the city will not plow them, emergency vehicles might have difficul ty or be unable to enter; also, probably they will not be lighted, and perhaps not properly maintained. Frank Reese raised the question of a middle possibility: some of the main streets in a development be public and the rest be private? . . . 2 - Frank Kelly stated that the city has a sort of thoroughfare plan developed years ago and suggested that the planning commission dig it out for study. Frank Kelly recommended also that developers should be required at the time the development is approved to pay in their pro-rated share, by contract, for police protection during the period in which they are paying no taxes, aswelL.as the pro-rated share for future water and storm sewer installations. The majority of planning commission members present thought this to be wise. 4. Jane Cole and Vern Watten expressed their strong concerns that the natural, "country", small village atmoshpere of Shorewood not be des- troyed in our attempt to develop the best possible methods of incor- porating subdivision development in t.he city. In particular, they questioned the necessity of curbs and gutters, and of streets wider\ than 24 feet except when a major thor.oughfare (ten, 30 feet paved). 5,. Bob Naegele suggested that since the future of Shorewood is so de- pendent on what is established now, the Council and the planning commission meet jointly once a month to facilitate better commun- ication, planning, and direction during this crucial re-organization period. He will talk with the mayor regarding this. The meeting adjourned at 10;20 p.m. Submitted by: Jane Cole . cko-ret,; ~t' Sc\.F+.

Sub. 135, a total of 65,700 square feet into two parcels excluding the section of the total lot divided by Highway #7 to the south. Due to the lack of a quorum those present were polled bT the chairman and the concensus of the present commissioners was to recommend approval of the proposed div- ision as presented with the recommendation of a dedication of the 50' diameter turnaround as suggested by the engineer. NEW BUSINESS Mr. Nicholas Ruehl representing Ray Weyker in the development of Aud. Su'b. 135, Lot 194 and 195 appeared to conduct informal discussion with the planning commission regarding the future possibility of re-zoning of the property in question. The prelimin~y plans for eight units were discussed and the pre- sent members expressed their concern for a request for re-zoning since the new ordinance has been so recently adopted. Other items discussed were in regard to the density that eight units would have on the surrounding prop- erties. .

SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION Minutes of the meeting of December 19, 1974 Present: Frank Reese, Chairman Jerome Miller L. V. Watten Ed Abramson James Peterson The regular meeting of the Shorewood Planning Commission was held on Thurs- day, December 19, 1974 at the Minnewashta Elementary School at 7:30 p.m. 1. PUBLIC HEARING A public hearing was called to hear the request of Mr. John Cross representing Minnetonka Moorings, Inc. pursuant to the zQning ordinance to change the zoning classification of part of Lot 24 & 25, Auditor's Sub- division 313; Lot 288, 290, 293, 297 304 & 305, Auditor's S~bdivision 135, I located in the North ..~ of Section 34, Tract 117, Range 23. Jj( C;;'-'fleb- ~3M cdJm1u~ Mr. Cross exhibited a series of color slides showing past developments he was instrumental in designing and several site plans were displayed show- ing the proposed marina development. Approximately forty residents of the area were present expressing opposition to the proposa:J.. Several petitions and letters as well as a Lake Minnetonka Fact Sheet from the Lake Minne- tonka Conservation District were received also opposing the marina. Letters received regarding the project w~re as follows: R. G. Southworth, Real Estate Appraiser, regarding property value depreciation of areas with simi- lar developments; Malcolm Reid, mayor of Tonka Bay expressing concern of over-use of the lake; Roy Swenson, Excelsior City Manager, over-saturation of the shoreline by marinas; Mr. & Mrs. Paul Stiller, stating concern of the present traffic congestion on County Road #19 and the compounding of the problem the marina would bring. A motion was then made by Commissioner Ed Abramson and seconded by Comm- issioner Jerome Miller to close the public hearing. The motion carried un- animously. A motion was made by Commissioner James Peterson and seconded by Comm- issioner L. V. Watten to continue discussion of the proposed marina to pre- pare a recommendation for the City Council following the handling of the final item on the agenda. The motion carried unanimously. 2. OLD BUSINESS Mr. Gerard Hartman was present to request guidance in dividing his property, Lot 3, and the East 3/34 Acres of Lot 4, Minnewashta Acres. Mr. Hartman originally requested the property be divided in three lots. Since it was established that two of the three proposed lots would be held by the same person, the commission advised the property be divided in two lots and thereby avoid the requirements of the subdivision ordinance. MARINA PROPOSAL DISCUSSION The commission then continued discussion of the Minnetonka Moorings, Inc. proposal to compile a recommendation for the City Council. Following a lengthy discussion a motion was made by Commissioner L.V. Watten and sec- onded by Commissioner James Peterson to recommend denial of the rezoning of the property in question to C-3 for the following reasons: . . . - 2 - 1. The number of sailboats proposed would create an increase in boat traffic on the channel serving Gideons Bay to an undesirable level. 2. Docking of the proposed 180 sailboats would consequently require 90+ automobile parking spaces and create unforseeable traffic problems on the streets providing access to the site. 3. The off-season necessity of storage cribs would create an unsightly, area consuming problem. 4. The number of slips proposed would increase sailboat traffic on Lake Minnetonka by over 19%. 5. The size of sailboat to be harbored would necessitate motors to navigate the channel and therefore a noise factor to be tolerated by lakeside residents. 6. The length of the docks (200 feet) were not proportionately shown in regard to the proximity to existing docks and surrounding shore- line. 7. The possibility of the increase boat traffic in the bay stirring up the settilled nutrients and restimulate growth of weeds and un- desirahle algae. 8. Rezoning of the property in question could encourage similar re- quests from lake shore property owners in Shorewood. 9. Means of access to the site was not definitely established by the developer and traffic patterns of alternate means of ingress and egress could not be evaluated. The Lake Street route was once only an alley and could not be expected to handle the traffic the devel- opment could anticipate. 10. It cannot be effectively calculated to determine the positive con- tributions to the community in comparison to negative problems created. 11. The proposal had not been submitted to the Lake Minnetonka Conserv- ation District for their consideration and recommendation. Upon calling of the vote, the motion carried unanimously. Respectfully submitted, Mary Marske, Recording Secretary . . .

Ma. 55331 Attention: City Couacil and Planning eo.a1ssion Gentlemen: Re ~ TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR ~NNET<?NKA MOORINGS The Excelsior City Council is seriously concerned over the impact this zoning change would have on our residents and those of other nearby cities adjoining the lake. In a small area of Lake Minnetonka, we already have the following marinas: Naae "fonka Bay Marine Curly's Caribbean Excelsior Beat aad Hotor Greenwood Harina Cochrane's Number of Slips. 76 f 0 .70 105 115 110 Total """476-- This small area is already over saturated with marine facilities. The resultant crowding and pollution (both on land and water) of another facility would be unacceptable. We .olicit your cooperation and urge you to deny this rezoning request. Thank you.

Wiltsey City Clerk Shorewood, Minn. 55331 To whom it may concernt Tnis letter is in response to the notice ot public hearing with respect to Minnetonka Moorings, Ine. As residents ot Shorewood living at 23675 Smi. thtown Road, directly across from Timberlane Drive, we are writing to object to the proposed zoning ordnance change. Traffic on Rt. 19 in this area is already excessive. Serious safety problems exist because of the narrowness of the road. (Two young people ki11ed themselves in a pick-up.truck accident in our front yard in November.) Increasing the road usage on both Rt. 19 and Timberlane, particularly the attendant conjestion of large boat movement would seriously complicate this already bad Bitu~tion, to say nothinp, of the . noise, debris, beer csn and exhaust fume polution. We strongly object to the planned marina. Mr. & Mrs. . . NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING .
