C. Building City Code Amendments
Applicant: City of Shorewood
Location: City-wide
Planning Director Griffiths explained that this item was a housekeeping ordinance update related
to the City's Building Code and did not contain any substantial policy changes. He briefly reviewed
the proposed amendments and noted that many of these things that the City was already doing
this just included within the code. He explained that the most substantial change was the process
through which the escrow agreements were handled for building permits, and reviewed the
proposed process.
Councilmember Sanschagrin referenced Section 1001.03, Subd.2, and asked about optional
provisions identified in the most current edition of the State Building Code and why the City had
selected the three that were listed. Planning Director Griffiths explained that the three included
were the ones the city currently had adopted, noted that most of the optional chapters of the
building code were dependent on the size of the community and the type of development, and
noted that Shorewood and Minneapolis would not have the same optional chapters. He stated
that the three listed were standard and were adopted by most communities.
Councilmember Sanschagrin asked about violations and penalties, which mentioned fines, and
asked how people could find that information. Planning Director Griffiths stated that the fines
would be identified in the City's fee schedule and would follow the administrative citation process.

7. ENGINEERING/PUBLIC WORKS
A. 2025 Mill and Overlay Change Order #1, City Projects 24-10, 23-01
City Engineer Budde explained that because the 2025 Mill and Overlay project came in under
budget, it provided the City with the opportunity to consider additional improvements. He
reviewed the four options for Council consideration, including: additional ash tree removal; West
Lane mill and overlay; Freeman Park mill and overlay; and Public Works parking lot mill and
overlay.
Councilmember Gorham stated that it sounds like the logic behind considering this change order
was that there was a short window of time and some money available, so the City could get some
troubled areas taken care of, and called out West Lane. City Engineer Budde explained that the

Prepared by: Jake Griffiths, Planning Director
Reviewed by: Marc Nevinski, City Administrator
Attachments: Draft Ordinance 621
Draft Summary Ordinance for Publication
APPLICANT: City of Shorewood
LOCATION: City Wide
Background
One of the goals of the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan was to update the City Code related
to building regulations to implement storm water requirements, and other policy changes
that had been made by the City over time but had not been codified. The proposed updates
to the City Code do not result in any substantial policy changes but rather codify the City's
existing policies and procedures and Minnesota State Building Code requirements. The
proposed amendments also help to address the City Council's Strategic Goals of having a
Comprehensive Approach to Planning and Development and Organizational Strength and
Good Governance through updates to the City Code.
The amendments include items already being done by the City such as adopting storm water
requirements within the building permit process, requiring construction management plans
for building permits, listing out building permit and demolition permit application
requirements in the City Code, requiring Certificate of Occupancies, codifying enforcement
procedures, and establishing an administrative process for building permit escrow
agreements. These amendments are critical to the day-to-day operations of the Planning &
Protective Inspections Department, particularly with respect to building permits and code
enforcement, and will help City staff continue to provide a high -quality level of service to
residents and contractors.
No Planning Commission review or public hearing was required for the proposed
amendments. However, the proposed ordinance was published prior to tonight's meeting on
the City's website, at City Hall, and was distributed to the email notification list for City Code
amendments.
Financial Considerations
The amendments were drafted in-house. If the amendments are adopted, there will be costs
associated with publication.

1001.09 COMPLETI
N OF EXTERIOR WORK
Subd. 1. Findings. A
3 allowed by Minnesota State Statute § 32613.121. subd. 1a., the City Council
finds that the publim
safety, health and welfare is impacted by exterior building projects that
start, but are not fi
ished in a timely manner, that there is benefit to establishing definitive time
periods by which w
rk should be completed so that both the City and the responsible party
have a mutual undE
rstanding of their rights and obligations, that there should be consequences
when responsible parties
either fail to meet work deadlines, or fail to complete projects, and a
mechanism to allow
for abatement of nuisance conditions that unfinished projects tend to
create. At the saME
time, the Council recognizes that, owing to weather and other unforeseen
circumstances, it is
important that any time frame scheme for work completion include
flexibility to recogn
ze unavoidable delays that might occur. Accordingly, the Council finds that
the Building Officia
should be authorized to require the following time frames for work
completion, and sh
uld be authorized to initiate a number of compliance and enforcement
actions should a re
ponsible party violate those time frames, or otherwise fail to complete a
project in a timely
anner.
Subd. 2. Scope. Ext rior work authorized by a building permit issued in accordance with the
Minnesota State Bi ilding Code must be completed within the time frames stated in this
Chapter, or within he time frames set by the Building Official at the time of permit issuance,

d. Notwithstanding the completion deadlines, a building permit expires 180 days from
the date of issuance if there is not substantial work completed under the permit as
provided in the Minnesota State Building Code. If no work has been completed under
the building permit as of its expiration date, the completion deadline for the work under
new permit shall be as set forth above.
Subd. 4. Time limitation. Upon a showing by the permit holder or property owner that there has
been an unavoidable delay in completion of the exterior work, the Building Official, at the
Official's discretion, may grant one extension for the completion of the exterior work for a
period of not more than 180 days.
Sund. 5. Violations of Completion of Exterior Work Requirements.
a. Failure to complete all exterior work authorized by a building permit within the
specified completion deadline or deadlines, including any extension, is a violation of this
Chapter. In such case, the Building Official, in conjunction with the City Attorney, is
authorized to take one or more of the following actions:
(1) Initiate a criminal action by citation for formal complaint. A violation of this Chapter
is a misdemeanor.
