of Shorewood who are serving as volunteers on the Commission. The Commissioners are
appointed by the City Council. The Commission’s role is to help the City Council in
determining zoning and planning issues. One of the Commission’s responsibilities is to
hold public hearings and to help develop the factual record for an application and to make
a non-binding recommendation to the City Council. The recommendation is advisory only.

A. PUBLIC HEARING – SHOREWOOD PADDLE CLUB – COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN AMENDMENT, PUD CONCEPT AND DEVELOPMENT STAGE PLANS
Applicant: Admark, LLC
Location: 24560 Smithtown Road
Chair Gorham noted that staff has requested that this public hearing be continued to the October
3, 2023 meeting.
Planning Director Darling stated that because there are a number of people in the audience she
wanted to give a flavor of what the applicant was proposing, so they have a better understanding
of what is being proposed. She stated that continuing the public hearing to October 3, 2023 will
allow staff time to prepare a full report for Commission consideration. She explained that this is a
request from Admark, LLC to develop the property at 24560 Smithtown Road with two buildings
for a private paddle sports and personal storage facility. She stated that the applicant described
it as being a private club and each member of the club would have a personal storage bay that
they would own plus would have rights to use the upper floor of the building to the north which
will have an indoor pickleball court. She noted that they are proposing a Comprehensive Plan
amendment to change the guidance for this property and a PUD in lieu of submitting a site plan
with requests for variances for all of the various ordinances that would be challenging for them to
meet with the narrow size of the property. She explained that there would be a gated entrance so
only members would have access onto the property. She described the proposed layout on the
property of the two buildings and noted that there would be a large vehicle/fire land turn around
area with six parking spaces.
Chair Gorham stated that when this comes back in October, it would be nice if the applicant could
give a schematic floor plan of the building designs.
Planning Director Darling noted that they would have that in October and explained that she had
only included a sampling of what had been submitted so the Commission could get a general idea
of what they were proposing.
Commissioner Huskins asked if staff knew whether or not they would be applying for a liquor
license or not.
Planning Director Darling stated that she did not believe they would be asking for a liquor license
with only 12 member families. She stated that it may be possible that they would have a bottle
club where people could bring in their own alcohol.
Commissioner Johnson stated that in a few spots within the narrative it says that there is one
pickleball court and in other places it appears a though there will be multiple courts.
Planning Director Darling stated that there is one indoor pickleball court on the upper level of the
clubhouse building. She noted that within the narrative, there is information regarding individual
members being able to create practice courts in their own storage bays if they would like.
Commissioner Johnson stated that one portion referenced water recreation and asked if boats
and things like that would be stored here.
Planning Director Darling stated that the individual members would be able to storage any of their
recreational items or other storage items within their units.

Chair Gorham opened the Public Hearing at 7:15 P.M. noting the procedures used in a Public
Hearing.
Mark Kaltsas, 6015 Cathcart Drive, stated that he is the owner of this property and wanted to
introduce himself to the Commission. He explained that he and his business partner, who also
lives in Shorewood, purchased the property in 2021. He stated that they had originally looked to
do a residential development consistent with the City’s guidance in the Comprehensive Plan. He
stated that they brought concept plans to the City Council in two different work session in 2021
but explained that they did not feel like they got strong feedback or guidance from them for a
residential development. He stated that this made them take a step back and think about what
other uses may be of benefit to the City. He stated that there are a group of people in the area
that are interested in having an indoor pickleball court that could be utilized in the winter months
to play. He stated that the property is zoned C-1 and noted that private clubs are permitted in that
zoning category. He stated that they did not want to get into a pickleball facility nor did they want
traffic on Smithtown Road and believes that if it was developed as medium density which is what
it is currently guided towards would double the traffic than they would generate with a 12 member
private pickleball club. He stated that he feels that is very compatible with their interest of having
someplace local where they can play and put their boats during the winter months. He explained
some of the reasons that they feel this property may be a tough fit for residential, including the
other businesses in the area. He stated that he felt that there proposal will provide a good
transition to the areas to the west that are guided for medium density housing, because it has
high quality architecture and a low usage building. He clarified that they would not be applying for
a liquor license and noted that they would like this to be a very low key and were just planning to
offer some pre-prepared food and beverages for the members.
William McGowen, 3070 Dartmouth Drive, stated that he is a potential member of this club. He
stated that, from his perspective, what is being proposed is a very tasteful and is a thoughtful
approach to using this site. He stated that the plans show high end architecture and landscaping
which he believed would be non-obtrusive and will fit into the community quite nicely. He stated
that for he and his family it would be a place for them to store their ‘toys’ and to play pickleball.
Paul Hirsch, stated that lived right next door to the west. He stated that he did not have any
problems with the proposed plans but could have concerns about drainage. He stated that he
would like it to look nice and not just like a large parking lot. He asked if there would be a fence
around the property.
Planning Director Darling stated that there will be a full drainage review of the proposed
development and explained that they are proposing a two-tiered stormwater control and treatment
including an underground vault and a filtration basin. She explained that the purpose of both was
to let the water sit and the sediment filter to the bottom and then the water will follow the natural
path which is to the north into the City’s park.
Mr. Hirsch confirmed that the grading will essentially stay the same and there would not be
truckloads of earth brought in to build it up.
Planning Director Darling stated that she believed that there would be material imported to the
site but does not have the details of how much.
Mr. Hirsch stated that bringing in material makes him nervous.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
SEPTEMBER 5, 2023
Page 4 of 8
Planning Director Darling explained that the site would be built up towards the north end of the
property and noted that there is a large retaining wall proposed along the west property line. She
stated that there will be more detail available at the October meeting.
Mr. Hirsch stated that he just wants assurance that the water will not be going into his basement.
Commissioner Eggenberger asked about the plans and rules regarding toys and boats parked
outside of the building.
Planning Director Darling explained that they are proposing a PUD and one of the conditions is
that there would be no exterior storage. She noted that they would be providing some parking
spaces but that would be actual parking spaces for members and guests who are using the private
storage bays or the pickleball court.
Commissioner Huskins stated that the renderings that he looked at for the entrance way looked
as if there was some structure that went along the width of the property. He stated that when he
walked near the property yesterday he noticed that the home has a driveway that enters onto
Smithtown Road right at the property line and asked if there were any concerns about visibility for
exiting this property from building up along the property and buffer area.
Planning Director Darling stated that she will look more closely at the visibility before the next
meeting.
Commissioner Johnson asked about the rules that will dictate the use and rights of the owners of
the property. She noted that for a public area there are convenents, rules and regulations. She
stated that if it is privately owned and there are lounges and lofts she asked if she could assume
that there would be no overnight stays.
Planning Director Darling explained that as she understands it, there will be an HOA with those
rules and stated that the spaces are not being designed for habitation. She noted that there are
restrooms in most of the units, but the occupancy type would not permit overnight
accommodations.
Commissioner Johnson stated that she would like more details on this at the October meeting.
Eggenberger moved, Johnson seconded, to Continue the Public Hearing on Shorewood
Paddle Club – Comprehensive Plan Amendment, PUD Concept and Development Stage
Plans for Applicant: Admark, LLC, located at 24560 Smithtown Road to the October 3, 2023
Planning Commission meeting. Motion passed 4/0.
B. PUBLIC HEARING – LAKE PARK VILLAS – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
Applicant: City of Shorewood
Location: 24250 Smithtown Road
Planning Director Darling gave an overview of the request from the City to re-guide the property
at 24250 Smithtown Road from medium density to low-to-medium density residential. She stated
that this property has a proposed development that crosses over into Tonka Bay and explained
that they are also working on a Comprehensive Plan amendment for their portion of this
development. She stated that the City has already reviewed several items for this development
and noted that the full development consists of 11 dwellings, 7 of which would be located on the
Shorewood side. She explained that the density that has been approved by the City Council would
be a lower density residential development which they felt was important for the area because of
CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
SEPTEMBER 5, 2023
Page 5 of 8
the higher elevation on this site and the need to buffer the new residents from the higher intensity
uses on the Public Works property and the Public Safety property. Staff recommends approval.
She stated that if the City approves this amendment it would then go to the Met Council for their
review.
Chair Gorham asked what a Comprehensive Plan amendment looked like and asked if it was
essentially a memo with an exhibit that was submitted to the Met Council.
Planning Director Darling stated that in this case, the Met Council has asked the City to just roll
this into the latest draft that had been submitted to them.
Commissioner Huskins asked if Planning Director Darling felt that there was any risk that the Met
Council would reject this amendment.
Planning Director Darling stated that she did not believe that they would reject this amendment
because it is very small with only two fewer units that what could have been provided with a
medium density residential guiding.
Eggenberger moved, Gorham seconded, recommending approval of the Lake Park Villas
– Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the City of Shorewood located at 24250 Smithtown
Road. Motion passed 4/0.

6. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
7. REPORTS
• Council Meeting Report
Council Liaison Callies reported on matters considered and actions taken during the Council’s
recent meeting.
Commissioner Eggenberger noted that there were individuals who had wanted to speak regarding
item 4.B.
Chair Gorham stated that he had unintentionally forgotten to open the public hearing.
Planning Director Darling recommended that the Commission go back to that item and open the
public hearing.

PUBLIC HEARING – LAKE PARK VILLAS – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
AMENDMENT
Applicant: City of Shorewood
Location: 24250 Smithtown Road
Chair Gorham opened the public hearing at 7:38 p.m.
Nancy Westman, 19515 Vine Ridge Road, asked why this property was never look at as
commercial property. She asked when zoning for a property is actually decided and explained
that she finds it odd that there will be residential units between a shopping center and the Public
CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
SEPTEMBER 5, 2023
Page 6 of 8
Works and Public Safety facilities. She stated that she feels it is completely inappropriate to have
million dollar homes on a main street right next to the fire house and a shopping center.
Chair Gorham stated that this property was zoned as residential prior to the chocolate shop being
there.
Ms. Westman stated that she understands that, but noted that the property down the road for the
private paddle club, was switched from residential to commercial.
Planning Director Darling stated that property has a bit of a longer story.
Ms. Westman stated that it appears as though the City figured out that was a better use for that
space and stated that she wondered when, where, and how that would be considered for this
property.
Chair Gorham asked if she was asking why the City would not just wait for a commercial
opportunity.
Ms. Westman agreed and asked what the big rush was in moving forward with this project. She
stated that she felt it seemed more appropriate and the City would amend the Comprehensive
Plan to meet the needs of the other property. She reiterated that she just feels this proposal just
did not make sense.
Commissioner Eggenberger stated that it all starts with the owner of the property coming to the
City with a plan and in order to make that plan work, the property needed to be rezoned. He stated
that then the City takes a look at the plans to see if they make sense or if there may be a better
use of the property.
Ms. westman asked if that had happened early on in the process.
Commissioner Eggenberger stated that was done early in the process.
Planning Director Darling stated that the planning for this parcel started in about 2017. She
explained that at time the Met Council told the City that they needed to provide ‘opportunity’ areas
for high and medium density residential development in order to provide more affordable units.
She stated that this particular parcel was previously guided for 2-3 units/acre which would be a
townhome or twin home or two and when the City was looking at areas, this area showed as an
area that would potentially be appropriate for a little higher density residential development
because it is more of an island. She stated that the City did not feel that commercial would be an
appropriate use for this particular location or that there would be much demand for commercial
space, in general. She reiterated that this was decided back in 2017.
Ms. Westman asked if staff met and talked about the best use given the application.
Planning Director Darling stated that there was no application at that time and noted that this
particular site was looked at before 2017 as part of the Smithtown Area study that took place
looking at potentially higher density development and does not believe that commercial was ever
considered for this location.
Chair Gorham stated that there was a concept plan that was presented to the City Council in 2021
that had over 50 units which was not received well by the Council.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
SEPTEMBER 5, 2023
Page 7 of 8
Planning Director Darling stated that Ms. Bussman had mentioned the property at 24560
Smithtown Road and explained that was also part of a study some years ago and, at that point,
the land use plan was changed to guiding that property tor residential but did not change the
zoning on that parcel. She stated that they were going to wait until someone had assembled the
parcels and redeveloped them all. She explained that when the City began looking for areas for
medium density housing, that was also an area where medium density was thought to be
appropriate. She stated that once the Comprehensive Plan is approved by the Met Council that
is an area that will likely be rezoned to a higher density residential development, but this particular
developer has proposed a commercial use and was proposing to change the Comprehensive
Plan from its guidance as residential to commercial.
Commissioner Huskins stated that the owners of this property have wished to sell and noted that
there have been multiple, contingent buyers who had visions for how it could be used which have
been brought to both the Planning Commission and the City Council. He stated that the City is
not in the business of dictating to people what they can do with their property or to market the
property. He explained that the City just deals with the proposed plans and uses that are brought
before them by the applicants.
Chair Gorham stated that the same developer had brought a larger developer for this site and the
community feedback was that it was too much. He stated that this corner has long been idealized
as a sort of ‘downtown’ area for Shorewood, but that has not materialized.
There being no additional comments, Chair Gorham closed the public hearing at 7:51 p.m.
Eggenberger moved, Gorham seconded, recommending approval of the request from Lake
Park Villas for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the City of Shorewood located at
24250 Smithtown Road. Motion passed 4/0.
• Draft Next Meeting Agenda
Planning Director Darling stated the next meeting will have the return of the private pickleball club,
a CUP to import fill to a property to one of the islands, and possibly a variance application.
Commissioner Johnson reiterated that for the private pickleball club application, she would like to
know more about the use and noted that Planning Director Darling had indicated that there was
to be an HOA, but these were not homes, so she would like a clearer understanding of how private
ownership and commercial usage would happen. She asked what other ordinances and
regulations they would be subject to with that use. She stated that for her, she also has questions
about patio usage and how that will impact noise levels. She stated that what is being proposed
seems like a bit of a hybrid approach to her.
Commissioner Huskins stated he was interested in seeing how much sunlight would be blocked
on the property with their plans and if it would impact the resident on the west side.
Planning Director Darling explained that the Comprehensive Plan is indicating a townhouse or
small apartment building development for this parcel and the applicant is asking to use the current
commercial zoning on the site and develop consist with that zoning.
The Council discussed the potential for sidewalk or trail connection in Gideon Glen with this
project
CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING

Commissioner Johnson asked about the restroom plans in the individual units as well as the
clubhouse area and asked if this would be hooked up to City water.
Planning Director Darling stated that if the Commission was uncomfortable with them having
restroom facilities in the individual units, they could recommend to the Council that a condition of
approval would be that they not have them, but noted that beyond that they would need to meet
building code standards.

Streets, Parking, and Pedestrian Access
1. Vehicle access for the site is from Smithtown Road. Smithtown Road is a two lane road at this
location with no turn lanes or shoulders. This parcel was historically used as overflow parking for
the American Legion. The anticipated traffic and daily use for this facility is unclear an difficult to
predict, please submit a summary of anticipated daily use and/or estimated traffic/turns per day
to the site.
2. A existing sidewalk is located on the south side of Smithtown Road at this location. No sidewalk
exists on the north side of Smithtown Road at this location and no sidewalk is proposed in the
north right of way as part of this development.
3. No sidewalks are proposed on the development site. Pedestrian access to doors and vehicles will
be through the driveway and drive lanes of the site.
4. The project narrative indicates that the proposed development provides 6 exterior parking stalls
plus up to 15 private spaces inside the club units. A minimum of one van accessible parking space
with aisle needs to be provided for the exterior parking stalls. The anticipated daily use for this
facility is unclear and depending on use, additional parking spaces may be needed.
5. The parking layout with parking immediately adjacent to the retaining wall (and required fencing)
does not currently appear to allow for vehicles in the furthest east parking spaces to be able to
back out and leave the parking spots. A space to back into for exiting these parking spaces needs
to be provided. Additionally, applicant shall confirm whether drivers could reasonably open doors
to access vehicles in the furthest east parking spaces due to the retaining wall (and required
fencing) in this location.
6. Truck loading/unloading areas need to be noted on the plans.
7. The transition from full height curb and gutter at the proposed development driveway access to
the rural street section at Smithtown Road needs to be clarified.
8. Traffic control plans, including any detours, will need to be submitted for the closure of
Smithtown Road to perform utility connections in the street.
9. Additional comments on streets, parking, and pedestrian access may be forthcoming in future
plan submittals.
Sanitary Sewer and Watermain
1.
sewer lines. 12 feet of separation is provided, which meets this requirement.
2. A minimum of 18 inches of vertical separation is required at all all utility crossings. Profile views of
the proposed utilities need to be submitted to verify this vertical separation is provided.
3. Water main needs to be ductile iron pipe, Class 52 and fully encased in polyethylene film of 8 mil
minimum nominal thickness or 4 mil high-density cross-laminated per AWWA C105.
4. The utility plan needs to be updated to show the locations of all fire lanes and fire lane signage, in
addition to the already shown: turn arounds and dead ends (with turning radius calculations), the
hydrant, and any above or below ground storage tanks already shown, post indicator valves, and
below ground storage tanks. The plan also neds to be modified to be in compliance with fire lane
requirements as provide by the Fire Marshal. Documentation that the below ground storage tanks
provide sufficient structural support for fire truck loading need to be submitted for review.
5. Water and sewer connection fees will be required in accordance with the latest version of the City
.

Stormwater Management and Grading
1. The property must meet the City of Shorewood Surface Water Management Plan Regulations
(Section 5.3) and should be summarized in a report in future submittals. The stormwater models
reflecting the current design need to be submitted for review as part of the submittal.
2. Work in the Smithtown Road right of way needs to be included in the drainage areas, stormwater
modeling, and calculations.
3. Peak discharge rates for a 1-year, 10-year, and 100-year storm events need to be summarized
separately for each location where runoff leaves the site in existing and proposed conditions.
Proposed peak discharge rates shall not exceed existing peak discharge rates at all points where
runoff leaves the site.
4. The proposed surface filtration basin and underground sand filtration shall be sized to
accommodate a 100-year storm event.
5. New storm sewer systems shall be sized to convey flows from a 10-year storm event. Calculations
for storm sewer sizing need to be submitted for review and approval.
6. List the 100-year high water level (HWL) of all stormwater management features on the plans or a
drainage exhibit. The minimum building opening
projected 100-year high water elevation for the area. If this three-foot building opening
freeboard requirement is considered a hardship, the standard could be lowered, in accordance
with Section 5.3 of the City of Shorewood Surface Water Management Plan Regulations, if certain
conditions are met.
7. An emergency spillway (emergency outlet) from ponding areas and low points shall be installed a
e designed to have a
capacity to overflow water at an elevation below the lowest building opening at a rate not less
than three times the 100-year peak discharge rate from the basin or the anticipated 100-year
peak inflow rate to the basin, whichever is higher. This emergency spillway or outlet needs to be
shown on the plans.
8. Abstraction of one inch of rainfall times the net new impervious of the site is required, where
feasible. If the soil characteristics are not suitable for infiltration and other abstraction methods
are not feasible, the same volume will be required to be treated through filtration practices. Soil
borings need to be provided to demonstrate why filtration is proposed with a liner for the surface
filtration basin and underground sand filtration system rather than providing abstraction through
infiltration.
9. If abstraction is not feasible, consider implementing iron-enhanced sand or other enhanced
filtration methods to increase water quality treatment.
10. For the proposed surface filtration basin, the drain tile should extend through the basin rather
than ending in the side slope of the grading on the east side of Building 1.
11. The implementation of low impact development (LID) techniques shall be considered for the
proposed project to the extent practical and feasible.
12. An operations and maintenance plan for the proposed stormwater management system needs to
be included with future submittals. Owners of private stormwater facilities will need to enter into
an agreement with the City describing responsibility for the long-term operation and
maintenance of the stormwater facilities and shall be executed and recorded with the final plat.
