Impervious Surface Definition FileCITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 23, 2025 Page 7 of 11 that what the Council was being asked to consider was whether they were comfortable carving out a piece of the land because the PUD can exist without this chunk of land. Councilmember Gorham asked what the Council's discretion was in that scenario because PUDs generally had some give and take. City Attorney Shepherd stated that this was a legislative and zoning decision, so they do have some latitude. Mayor Labadie asked Planning Director Griffiths to describe the character of the neighborhood. Planning Director Griffiths gave a brief overview of the surrounding neighborhood. Councilmember Gorham stated that if it was not for the clustering of the buildings, this parcel would not have been able to be built on and asked Councilmember Maddy could divorce the PUD from the lot. Councilmember Maddy stated that if they cut the proposed piece out, it would still meet all of the City's current requirements for density, and subdivision is a property right they should have. Maddy moved, Gorham seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 25-0591 "A Resolution Approving a PUD Concept Plan for the Tingewood HOA Common Area Located at Parcel ID - 3511723110072." Motion passed. C. Impervious Surface Definition City Code Amendment Location: City -Wide Applicant: City of Shorewood Planning Director Griffiths reviewed the background of the importance and goal of having the impervious surface requirement and explained that the proposed definition was based on the DNR's model ordinance for what constituted impervious surface. He noted that the Planning Commission held a public hearing on this item with no comments being shared and had unanimously recommended approval. Councilmember Gorham noted that the Tonka United tournament scheduled for last week was cancelled due to the recent rain, except for the games on turf, which highlighted the difference in what they were trying to do with water retention. Gorham moved, DiGruttolo seconded, Adopting ORDINANCE 622, Amending Shorewood City Code Chapter 1201 Zoning Regulations to Update the Definition of Impervious Surface. Motion passed. 7.

At the June 3, 2025 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed request and recommended approval (5-yes, 0-no) to the City Council. Draft minutes from that meeting were reviewed earlier in tonight's agenda. No public comments were received prior to or during the hearing, however, one public comment was received in between the Planning Commission and City Council meetings which is attached for reference. Financial Considerations The amendments were drafted in-house. If approved, there would be costs associated with publication of a summary ordinance. Due to the ordinance's relatively short length, a summary ordinance resolution is not being requested as it will cost less to publish the entire ordinance than it would the summary ordinance resolution. Action Requested Motion and second to approve Ordinance 622.

From a technical drainage perspective, a deck that has soil or drainage rock on top of soil below it won't increase runoff as long as there is some space between the boards which is typical. Maybe the DNR includes decks for some different purpose. I would be interested to see the document where the DNR references decks for context if you have that out of curiousity.

Resident Comment Hello. I just read the prp posed definition change for impervious surface. As a Civil Engineer and resident, I would sugge t removing a deck from the new definition. I would not consider a q eck as impervious since they are made up of relatively narrow boards with spacing in between the boards. This allows rainfall to drip between the boards and fall on soil below in a distributed way which effectively mimics the runoff condition as if the deck wasn't there. Please let me know if you have any questions for me and thanks for your consideration.

He stated that until the Commission has clarity on the Council's decision about how to deal with the City watermain extension rather than digging wells, and the dissension he observed during the public hearing, he felt this would be difficult to pass the Council. Commissioner Longo stated that he agreed with Commissioner Magistad that they needed to have a conversation about future development, but under the current boundaries, he would support this request. Commissioner Holker stated that she would be in favor of this concept plan, based on what was currently on the books in the City. Planning Director Griffiths stated that he understood the Commission's concern about future development and municipal water, but cautioned them that the City had a legal obligation to review this request with respect to the requirements that were currently in place. He stated that the City is unable to deny this application based on wanting to wait to have a conversation about municipal water or further direction from the City Council. Commissioner Holker moved, Commissioner Eggenberger seconded, recommending approval of the Tingewood HOA Common Area PUD Concept Plan for the Tingewood Homeowners Association, Parcel ID 3511723110072, subject to the conditions included in the staff report. Motion passed 4/1 (Magistad opposed). Planning Director Griffiths stated that this item would be on the June 23, 2025, City Council meeting agenda. B. PUBLIC HEARING — IMPERVIOUS SURFACE DEFINITION CITY CODE AMENDMENTS Applicant: City of Shorewood Location: City-wide Planning Director Griffiths explained that the City was required by State law, to regulate the percentage of impervious surface that was constructed on properties. He shared details behind the request for a City-wide definition of impervious surface and the history behind how impervious surface requirements have adapted to technology over time, and what was being proposed tonight was not a policy change for the City. He noted that the proposed language for this amendment came directly from the Department of Natural Resources and had also been adopted by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. He explained that no public comments had been received prior to the meeting. Commissioner Longo asked if the new definition was a bit more restrictive than the old definition Planning Director Griffiths stated that this new definition just clarifies information and reiterated that it was not a policy change and was more about matching the Code to the current practice. Commissioner Magistad asked when the language had been changed by the DNR and why it was coming up now and not, for example, five years ago. Planning Director Griffiths stated that he did not know the exact date but believed that they had also updated it because of new technology. He explained that staff had recently evaluated the CITY OF SHOREWOOD ANNING COMMISSION MEETING 1UNE 3, 2025 Page S of 9 and was concerned that the City Code does not back them up, and noted 1 City,s current policy 2 that this was a requi ement that the City enforces daily e from the State. 3 4 Chair Huskins aske about the 1,000-foot metric and if thatcam er was from the State and explained that the 5 6 Planning Director G iffiths confirmedless than that s the thousand, but would make it greater. 7 City could not make he numbe 8 e renced higher -density development and past conversations about envious surfaces for things like additional parking spaces.

Draft N t Meeting 9 Item City of Shorewood planning Commission Meeting Item 4B Title/Subject: Impervious Surface Definition City Code Amendments Meeting Date: June 3, 2025 Prepared by: Jake Griffiths, Planning Director Attachments: Draft City Code Amendments APPLICANT: City of Shorewood LOCATION: City Wide BACKGROUND The City is required to regulate the amount of impervious surface that can be built on a property by the State of Minnesota through the Department of Natural Resources' Shoreland Management Program. While these regulations typically only apply to properties within 1,000 ft of a lake, most cities in the region, including Shorewood, apply this type of regulation City wide as they serve a substantial public benefit when it comes to stormwater management and preservation of natural resources. In Shorewood, properties within 1,000 ft of a lake are limited to no more than 25% impervious surface coverage, and properties greater than 1,000 ft from a lake are limited to no more than 33% impervious surface coverage. Some common impervious surfaces include rooftops, decks, sidewalks, patios, swimming pools, parking lots, concrete, asphalt and similar type surfaces. Recently, City staff have identified a discrepancy between the City Code's definition of what constitutes an impervious surface and the City's historic practice in administering impervious surface requirements. This discrepancy is particularly vulnerable to less common impervious surfaces such as artificial turf and permeable pavers. In response, the proposed amendment addresses this discrepancy as outlined in the attached draft City Code amendments. No new policy changes are being proposed, these City Code amendments would rather adopt the City's current policy and procedures into the City Code. Notice of tonight's public hearing was posted in the City's official newspapers, published on the City's website and at City Hall. No public comments were received prior to the publication of this report. REQUEST The proposed amendments to the City Code are consistent with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources' (DNR) and Minnehaha Creek Watershed District's (MCWD) definition of impervious surface. By aligning our City Code with the requirements of these two organizations, all property owners in Shorewood will have consistent regulations when it comes to impervious surfaces. Gravel driveways are defined as impervious since soils become compacted after use and impair infiltration of water, and they are often eventually paved over by property owners and such work doesn't usually require a permit. Permeable pavers and artificial turf are also included to eliminate their use as a "work around" to meeting impervious surface coverage standards. These materials can reduce stormwater runoff, if maintained, however, most products utilize plastic underlayment and require a high amount of maintenance by property owners that ultimately eliminate their benefit. As a hard surface, they also Page 2 remove habitat/vegeta materials are currently FINDINGS/RECOMMEr Staff recommends app Planning Commission i testimony provided, ai on and thus also impact shoreland aesthetics.

City of Shorewood Jake Griffiths Planning Director To be published May 20th (Sailor). May 20th (Laker Pioneer). As part of updating the City Code, a discrepancy was found relative to impervious surface requirements and the text of the City Code. The definition of impervious surface in the City Code has not been updated for many years and no longer provides adequate direction based on advancements in technology and changing trends in construction. The proposed amendments to the City Code align the City's definition of impervious surface with those established by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District to allow for consistency across agencies that many residents interact with as part of construction projects. The proposed amendments do not change any existing City policies, but rather help clarify requirements for residents. 1201.02 DEFINITIONS. IMPERVIOUS SURFACE. An artifeciai Or natural surface through which water, air or r cannot penetrate. A constructed hard surface that prevents or hinders entry of water into the soil and causes water to run off the surface in greater quantities and at an increased rate of flow than prior to development, including rooftops, decks, sidewalks, patios, swimming pools, parking lots, concrete, asphalt,_ gravel driveways permeable pavers, artificial turf, and other similar surfaces. The following shall not be considered impervious surfaces: a. Cantilevers no greater than two feet from the side of the structure and at least four feet above the adjacent grade. b. Overhangs no greater than two feet from the side of the structure.
