Agenda Item #8A: In January of 2003 the City approved a variance for Craig Buechler .
allowing a new house to be built on an existing substandard lot at 5655 Eureka Road.
Due to delays, the variance approval expired. Mr. Buechler is reprocessing his request
with revised building plans that comply even better with this restrictive site.
Agenda Item #9A: The staff memorandum recounts the evolution of proposals, starting with
Greenwood Mayor Newman, for an agreement on interim funding by the SLMPD
member cities for the 2006 SLMPD operating budget. Council reviewed this matter at a
work session on August 4. The Council directed staff to finalize a proposal for Council's
consideration based on its discussion at the August 4 work session. It is expected that
Mayor Newman will present a proposal slightly modified from Shorewood's at the
special meeting of the Coordinating Committee on Friday, August 29, and will seek
endorsement of it by the Coordinating Committee. It is materially different than
resolutions adopted by Excelsior on August 15. Staffwill provide an update at the
Council's August 22 meeting, and Council should have full discussion of this matter.
Council should decide whether it should act and what should be its position regarding .
interim funding arrangements for 2006.

DISCUSSION OF SLMPD MATTERS
Administrator Dawson reviewed the sequence of events that began with an futerim Resolution Proposal
by Greenwood Mayor Newman at the meeting of the SLMPD Coordinating Committee on July 29. His
proposal served as a framework to which Excelsior and Greenwood added further details, and on which
they took formal action on August I and August 2, respectively. Their actions were identical with the
exception of the percentages of the 2006 operating budget that would be paid by Excelsior and
Shorewood. fu the Excelsior proposal, it would be a 26.5%/49.0% split respectively; and in the
Greenwood proposal, it would be a 27.0%/48.5% split respectively.
Dawson had consulted with the City's representatives to the Issues Group, and presented modifications to
the Excelsior and Greenwood proposals for Council's discussion this evening. He noted that this
proposal was a separate issue from the action the Council would need to take on approving the amount for
payment for services in 2006, which was scheduled for the Council's August 8, 2005, meeting. The
Council indicated that it wanted the full Council to be present to act on the futerim Resolution Proposal,
which would be on August 22, and that it would be appropriate for the Council to act on August 8 on the
SLMPD funding for 2006 as recommended by the Coordinating Committee, although two
councilmembers would be absent for that meeting.
Mayor Love related that he had stated his opposition to the Newman proposal at the Coordinating
Committee meeting, but that he would be presenting it to the Council for its consideration. He noted that
circumstances had also changed since last Friday's meeting. He asked Mayor Newman to speak briefly to
the Council about his proposal, and Mayor Newman then related the general concept of the proposal and
what he saw as its benefits.
* J-It
CITY OF SHOREWOOD SPECIAL WORK SESSION MINUTES

Mayor Love suggested that another provision be added to the proposal: That with approval of the
proposal by all four cities, all cities immediately would receive full service and with no additional cost for
Excelsior. This provision is especially important to the SLMPD staff, so that it could have the pressure
removed from working within a two-tier system. After further discussion, Council agreed that this offer
should be included, and listed as a separate item.
Councilmember Turgeon related her analysis of advantages and her disappointments with the concept
behind the proposal. She said she could be supportive of it after discussions with councilmembers from
other cities, and in respect of the partnership with Greenwood and Tonka Bay in the agreement.
Councilmember Callies expressed her disappointment as well. The Issues Group process had a deadline,
and it was certainly implicit that there would be consequences if the May 31, and June 30 deadlines were
not met. The Issues Group process appeared to be for naught.
Councilmember Wellens agreed with Councilmember Callies, and stated that deadlines need to be
respected. He also said that he was comfortable with having a two-tier system of services offered by
SLMPD.
Councilmember Lizee echoed the comments of the other councilmembers, her disappointment that further
discussions among the cities were necessary, and her intent to have December 31, 2005, as an absolute
and final deadline to resolve matters. The rest of the Council concurred in the finality of the deadline
date.
Council and staff reviewed the several modifications to be made to the draft of the illterim Resolution
Proposal, and agreed that they would be in the document to be considered at the August 22 Council
meeting. Dawson said he would make the modifications and send them to staff in the other three cities
immediately.

Stephen Dzurak, resident of Shorewood, stated he was present this evening to provide input on the
proposed Shorewood increase to the South Lake Minnetonka Police Department (SLMPD). He stated he
was disappointed that the City was considering this increase since he anticipated the City of Excelsior
would not settle for this amount of funding to be contributed by the other member cities. He viewed it as
"taxation without representation" as he believed Shorewood's portion of the operating budget warranted
additional representation in decision making issues. Finally, he stated, he believed Excelsior's lack of
action in accepting the offer presented as a result of the work completed by the Issues Group was
appalling, and he was frustrated the City of Excelsior had not acted in a timely fashion as agreed upon
early in that process. He stated he would be very disappointed if the City of Shorewood took action to
increase its percentage of the member city contributions associated with the SLMPD Operating budget.
Acting Mayor Lizee thanked Mr. Dzurak for his comments.
5.
REPORTS ~ PRESENTA.TIONS
.
A.. Request for Support for the Southshore Senior/Community Center
Joyce Flury, Executive Director for the Southshore Community Center, stated she was present this
evening to issue a request for funding on behalf of the Senior Community Services (SCS). SCS was the
provider of programming at the Southshore Community Center, and as such, had annually requested
funding from each of the member cities for programming activities. She explained that due to federal
cutbacks, prior funding, previously available through Hennepin County, was no longer available, and
thus, the funding requests had become necessary in order to allow participants at the Southshore Center
to be able to maintain activities available to them for many years. Ms. Flury stated that SCS was
requesting that each member city consider including funds in its 2006 budget to continue funding for
SCS services at the Center. The request of Shorewood was $6,500.
.
Ms. Flury also explained the Friends of the Southshore Center provided funding for the maintenance and
upkeep of the building, and several volunteers helped with fundraising efforts throughout the year for
various activities as well. She also noted the wonderful participation in programming each year for area
seniors, and thanked Council for its time this evening in considering this action.
.
Acting Mayor Lizee stated she believed the Center to be a true asset to the community, noting it was very
well utilized for several kinds of events. She stated she was aware there were numerous fundraising
events also associated with programming efforts each year.
Turgeon moved, Wellens seconded, Directing Staff to include $6500 in the 2006 proposed budget
for the Senior Community Services at the Southshore Community Center. ~otion passed 3/0.
Ms. Flury thanked the Council for its wonderful support and stated the seniors also appreciated all the
cooperation and cooperative efforts from the City of Shorewood.

PARKS
Engineer Brown reported there had not been a meeting of the Park Commission since the most recent
Regular City Council meeting, thus, there was nothing to report on at this time.
8. PLANNING
Director Nielsen stated Commissioner Meyer was unable to be present this evening to provide a detailed
report on recent activities of the Planning Commission.
A. Parkview Final Plat
Director Nielsen briefly reviewed the project, noting the Planning Commission had requested a review of
the landscaping plan for the project as part of the Final Plat review portion of the planning process. He
then reviewed the landscaping plan for Council, noting several improvements had been made in the
number, quality, and placement of trees associated with this project.
Engineer Brown explained there remained two primary engineering issues associated with the project,
including installation of municipal water service and drainage. With regard to municipal water service,
he explained WSB & Associates, the City's engineering consulting firm, was preparing a feasibility
report to determine if an interconnection between the Amesbury area and the Southeast Water Tower
area would be possible. He stated he anticipated a report by mid-August and the results would not hold
up the project moving forward at this time.
With regard to drainage for the project, Engineer Brown explained the drainage flow pattern related to
the project as well as the alternatives for the hydrology aspects of the project.
Councilmember Turgeon questioned whether routing the stormwater to the pond at Manor Park, as
planned, would cause deterioration in water quality at the pond. Engineer Brown stated it could
potentially increase the phosphorus loading for the pond, but there were little alternatives presented at
this time. He was awaiting the final hydrology report and hoped for alternatives at that time. He also
stated the City was working with the limnologist from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District to study
water samples from the pond in effort to bring resolution to this issue.
Wellens moved, Turgeon seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 05-072, "A Resolution
Approving the Final Plat of Parkview" and Authorizing Execution of the Development Agreement
for this project. Motion passed 3/0.
9. GENERALINEW BUSINESS
A. Excelsior Fire District 2006 Proposed Budget
Administrator Dawson explained the process for preparation, consideration, and approval of the
Excelsior Fire District (EFD) 2006 proposed budget. He noted the Council had an opportunity to review
a preliminary budget at a Work Session meeting held in July as part of this process. He reviewed the
issues addressed by Council at that Work Session, including issues associated with Orono expenses and
revenue, PERA contributions, janitorial services, motor fuels, other professional services, and
presentation and formatting of the budget for future years. Shorewood' s contribution based on the
formula would be $538,278 for the Year 2006. He also explained, according the Joint Powers
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 8, 2005
Page 4 of 6
Agreement that governed the District, approval of the budget by a majority of the five city councils was .
binding on all member cities. He noted three of the five councils had approved the 2006 proposed EFD
budget thus far.
Chief Mark DuCharme, of the EFD, thanked Council for consideration of the budget, and distributed data
regarding the Orono contract monies and the new process in place for allocation and distribution of those
monies within the EFD organization.
Turgeon moved, Wellens seconded, Approving the Excelsior Fire District 2006 Proposed Budget.
Motion passed 3/0.
Chief DuCharme thanked the Council.
B. Mound Fire Department 2006 Proposed Budget
Administrator Dawson explained the City of Shorewood provided fire and rescue services to Enchanted,
Shady, and Spray Islands through a contract with the City of Mound. He noted contract cities did not
approve the budget or their payments for service for the following year, but were asked to comment on
the budget, and forward them to the Mound City Council for its annual consideration of the budget each
year. He then went on to review the funding formula associated with this budget, and costs to the City of
Shorewood, noting a rise in funding contribution from $22,749 in 2005 to $26,421 in 2006.
Administrator Dawson stated the increase was formula driven for the year, noting it would be revisited
next year when developing the next multi-year contract for services.
Acting Mayor Lizee questioned whether the Island residents were satisfied with the level of service
received in past years by the Mound Fire Department. Administrator Dawson stated he was unaware of
any complaints from Island residents at this time.
Councilmember Wellens stated he believed a 16% increase over the past year to be quite high.
Councilmember Turgeon agreed, noting the City paid a great deal of money in the last year for 2% of the
MFD emergency calls.
Turgeon moved, Wellens seconded, Accepting the Mound Fire Department 2006 Proposed Budget.
Motion passed 3/0.
C. South Lake Minnetonka Police Department 2006 Proposed Budget
Administrator Dawson explained on July 29, 2005, the Coordinating Committee of the South Lake
Minnetonka Police Department (SLMPD) recommended the 2006 proposed budget for consideration by
the four member city councils. The overall budget proposed included a 3.8% increase from 2005 to
2006. He then reviewed the budgetary process as outlined in the Joint Powers Agreement that governed
the SLMPD. Next, Administrator Dawson explained the programmatic changes slated for the 2006
proposed budget cycle, as well as ramifications associated with "flat-lining" the municipal funding yet
another year. He also explained how potential tiers of service would impact the budget and noted the
municipal payment recommended for 2006 from the City of Shorewood was $715,806, or 46% of the
$1,556,100 from all of the member cities. He then reviewed the approvals thus far associated with
member cities actions by respective Councils.

SLMPD Chief Litsey was present, and provided a brief overview of the budget. He stated he was
required to work within the current JP A for funding the budget for 2006, since matters had not been
resolved as a result of the Issues Group meetings. He further stated he appreciated the budget process
being reviewed by the Operating Committee, comprised of all member city administrators and managers,
and then being considered for recommendation by the Coordinating Committee.
Turgeon moved, Wellens seconded, Approving $715,806 in revenue from the City of Shorewood for
the 2006 Proposed Budget of the South Lake Minnetonka Police Department. Motion passed 3/0.

comparative step in funding for each city in this issue.

11. STAFF AND COUNCIL REPORTS
A. Administrator & Staff
1. County Road 19 Intersection
Engineer Brown reported on the lack of progress currently being made on the County Road 19 project as
a result of financial issues associated with project management. He stated issues remained currently with
Xcel Energy regarding the timing of removal of power poles standing in the way of the project's
progression. He stated he anticipated the issue of removal to be completed no later than mid-month;
however, if this was not the case, additional resources would need to be addressed to continue with the
project.
Councilmember Turgeon questioned the status and report related to burying utilities for this project.
Engineer Brown stated the report from R.W. Beck was complete but had yet to be delivered in written
form. He stated a verbal report had been shared in which the City's consultant believed the costs outlined
in the Xce1 proposal for this task were reasonable, despite the fact that they had doubled from the original
estimate for this activity on the project.
Councilmember Turgeon stated she believed cost for the undergrounding should be borne by Hennepin
County since it was a County project, and neither the benefits associated with the overall project, nor the
roadway would be solely at the expense of Shorewood residents. Engineer Brown stated he believed
such activities to be governed by statute.
B. Mayor & City Council
Acting Mayor Lizee stated there were six "Neighborhood Night Out" events in the City, and in attending
these events, noted many area residents were happy to see the police and fire department personnel in
attendance at these events.

Craig W. Dawson, City Administrator Cb?
Senior Accounting Clerk Position
To:
.
From:
.
As the City Council may recall, Senior Accounting Clerk Cathy Elke resigned effective July 22,
2005 to accept a position with the Minnetonka School District. This is a key position within the
finance department therefore an advertisement was placed in the Minneapolis Star Tribune and on
the League of Minnesota Cities website. The position was also posted internally. The City
received several external applications for the position, and one internal applicant: Account Clerk
Michelle Nguyen. Five finalists with appropriate qualifications, including Michelle, were
selected for an interview with the interview team consisting of the City Administrator, Public
Works Director, and Finance Director. Staff also administered an accounting related skills test.
.
After careful consideration of all variables, including education, experience, skills testing results,
and municipal background, staff is delighted to recommend Michelle Nguyen (pronounced WIN),
as the applicant most suited for the job.
Ms. Nguyen has a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting, she has worked in the City of
Shore wood finance department for the past two years, and she had the best score on City's skills
test. Most importantly, she has actually been performing the activities and tasks of the Senior
Accounting position for the past 3-1/2 weeks, including payroll and accounts payable. It is the
interviewing committee's consensus that promotion from within sends a positive message to
employees. We recommend a starting wage of $19.13 per hour and satisfactory completion of the
standard six-month probationary period. If you have any questions about the hiring process,
please feel free to contact me before the meeting Monday night.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that Ms. Michelle Nguyen be appointed to the position of Senior Accounting
Clerk at a starting pay rate of $19.13 per hour.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council
CraIg Dawson, City Administrator
FROM:
Larry Brown, Director of Public Works
DATE:.
August 17, 2005
RE:.Authorization for Expenditure of Funds - Public Works 800 MHz Radios.
Many federal, state, county and local agencies are c:;hanging to what is known as the 800 MHz radio
system, to allow "interoperability" between agencies. Simply put,. each agency will have the ability to
communicate with each other through a digital radio network during mutual aid events, emergencies,
or even routine events.
The South Lake Minnetonka Police Department, the Excelsior Fire District, and several of the lake
area communities have already switched their means of radio coriununication to the 800-megahertz
(MBz)system. Hennepin and Carver Counties operate the backbone of the sy~tem for the lake area.
Currently, the Shorewood public worl<s department has one 800 MHz portable radio, The main
backbone of. communications for the public works department takes place via seventeen mobile
(vehicle mounted) radios, twl? portables and two base stations located at public works and city hall
buildings. These radios are not able to communicate with the 80,0 MHz system. .
Since the police and fire department have completely changed to the 800 MHzsystern, if they need to
communicate with public works, they must make contact with the single 800 MHz' radio within the
public works department. This has proven to be inefficient and frustrating during even the most
routine events.
Staff has reviewed the costs of performing a complete ~witch of the public works radio system to the
800 MHz backbone. Due to the high cost of each radio unit, total costs would approach $65,000 -
$75,000 to complete the change. Therefore, these costs do not appear Jeasible nor practical.
As an alternative, staff has rycommended that the public works department purchase two radios per
year for atotal of seven portable units. This would provide a sufficient number Of units in the field
during critical events, Public Works will continue to use the existing VHF radios for the backbone of
their pperations.

A.E.O.F. for 800 Mhz Radios
August 17,2005
Page 2 of2
.t'
.
Attachment 1 is the current radio specified by Hennepin County Radio Division for the 800 Mhz
system. Since the counties operate the network for the system, the county approves the type of radio
and programming for each unit. After the County specifies the radio unit for the department, units may
be purchased directly from the vendor that has been awarded the county contract for the radio and
accessories. Radios are then shipped to Hennepin County for programming and assignment on to the
digital network.
Each radio is $3,359.60. For two units, the extended price is $6,719.20. Also required for each unit
will be a battery charger, spare battery, and speaker mic. The total for the two units and accessories is
$6,972.59.
The 2005 CIP - Equipment Replacement Fund has programmed $7,000 for purchase of two radios.
Recommendation
.
Staff is recommending approval of an authorization for expenditure of funds for purchase of two
portable 800 MHz radios and accessories, as outlined above.

A. Park Commission Meeting Minutes of July 12, 2005
Page 2, Reports Item B, line 1, it was Commissioner Westerlund, and not Chair Davis, who 'reported that
she counted approximately 168+ people.. .".
Farniok moved, Moonen seconded, approving the Minutes of the July 12, 2005, Park Commission
Meeting as amended. Motion passed 3/0.
3. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
There were none.
4. REPORTS
A. Report on City Council Meetings
Brown stated that there was nothing new to report pertaining to parks. He mentioned that the police and
fire budget had been adopted.
Turgeon stated that additional proposals for police and fire had been received by both Excelsior and
Greenwood for consideration. If an agreement cannot be reached by the August 31 sl deadline, Turgeon
indicated that the joint powers agreement would be dissolved or reorganized.
5. REVIEW REQUEST FOR SIDRLEY RICE MEMORIAL CONCEPT PLAN

"'J
Farniok pointed out that the rock used for the plaque must be substantial enough so that it does not
disappear and that it should have a flat surface to route out for the plaque. She noted that the estimate of
$900-965 was accurate.
.
Brown stated that the City has the option, in the case of gifted items, to restore it, though it is not
guaranteed for perpetuity.
Chair Davis pointed out that the monument sign would be more durable than the current wood sign.
Farniok stated that, while the Garden Club would put together an article about Shirley Rice, they would
prefer if the City take on the dedication. She indicated that the City holds the funds donated by the family
for the care and maintenance of the garden which would more than cover the price of the monument.
Farniok asked how to proceed.
Brown stated that, since little construction would be necessary, the Garden Club could simply draw in the
placement of the monument and plaque and the Park Commission could move it forward as they see fit.
Moonen moved, Chair Davis seconded, to recommend that the Garden Club proceed with the
installation of the memorial rock and plaque commemorating Shirley Rice.
.
Chair Davis asked the Club to provide the Commission with a photo or drawing of how it wi11100k.
Brown interjected that he was unsure whether the City might want to take on the dedication or not.
Chair Davis suggested that the dedication should be led by those who had personal knowledge or contact
with Shirley Rice or the family.
.
Fish stated that she would mention it to the Minnesota League of Women Voters.
Turgeon applauded the suggestion, as it was the league that granted the Shirley Rice award on an annual
basis, and had just bestowed the last of its honors this year.
Motion passed 3/0.
.
Brown stated that he would present the Garden Club's memorial rock request at the August 2211d City
Council meeting.
6. PRESENTATION ON BUCKTHORN
Kathe White discussed an itemized buckthorn removal plan for the Freeman Park effort to be held mid
November, when most other trees have dropped their leaves. She indicated that, via a public education
process, she hoped to advocate for the removal of buckthorn on individual estates, as well as Freeman
Park. White suggested that groups be encouraged to register for the event, listen to a 12 hour education or
training program, and be sent out into visibly taped off areas within Freeman Park for about an hour of
digging or pulling. After the buckthorn has been removed, she noted that the stumps should be sprayed
with a solution of Round-up and dye to discourage new growth.
Chair Davis stated that she could write a newsletter article about the upcoming event urging middle or .
high school age classrooms, scouting troops, church groups, and neighborhood associations etc., to use
the enclosed registration slip to register their intent. In addition, she suggested that someone be contacted
to donate refreshments for the event.

Saturday, November 12,2005 was the chosen date for the fall event from 9am-12pm, cycling groups of
20-30 through the education piece every half hour.
Brown stated that the City would purchase 2 weed wrenches for the event and subsequent residential use.
White suggested that individuals be encouraged to bring gloves, shovels, bow saws, etc. She further
suggested that tree identification be done in order to educate the public of the numerous varieties of
species that should exist in healthy woods.
Moonen stated that, as a licensed commercial pesticide applicator, a stronger pathfinder II pesticide with
blue dye has proven effective in the elimination of buckthorn.
Brown indicated that, if the City wished to use a stronger solution than the round-up suggested by
buckthorn busters, the City would have to contract with a licensed commercial applicator.
. Chair Davis stated that she would assemble the registration form and article for the newsletter, while
White put together the education piece of the program.
.

.
7. DISCUSS PROJECTS TO SUBMIT TO CITY COUNCIL FOR CIP
Brown reviewed a number of items for consideration for the 2006-2010 Park Capital Improvement
Program (CIP). In addition to the resurfacing of the Badger or Manor Park tennis courts, he mentioned
the Badger field Football and Hockey lighting needs, drinking fountains at both the Skate Park and
Freeman Park, the WEIC - Wetland Enhancement and Interpretive Center, new surface for the older
Skate Park equipment or a plaza picnic site at the park, and the matching funds proposed for the dog
park.
Julie Westerlund arrived at 7:58 p.rn.
Chair Davis asked how the City could enhance its trail system throughout the City. In addition, she asked
whether a sidewalk should be constructed between fields 1 and 2 at Freeman Park to aid in the drainage
problems.
Brown reported that the City has been trying to solve the drainage problems with this less obtrusive
approach to drainage, and has received a letter from the neighbors pleased with the results.
Chair Davis stated that many items seem relevant to the Commission, including; trails, Manor Park pond,
the dog park, drainage around Silverwood Park slide, and fixing the lighting situation at Badger if it
appears to be hazardous though pricey. She suggested turning over both fountains to the Foundation to
pursue.
Westerlund stated that, during the National Night Out celebration, many of her neighbor's voiced their
support of maintaining and repairing the Manor Park tennis courts.
Kristi Anderson, of Community Rec Resources, interjected that the sports users in the community have
voiced their concern regarding the lighting issues at Badger Park on numerous occasions.
Farniok stated that, as a safety measure, the lighting may need to be addressed.

"".
Though he attempted to estimate the costs, Brown stated that resurfacing of the tennis courts may require
an investment that must be further investigated. Brown stated that he would start programming out the
items for the 2006-2010 CIP if the Commission was comfortable with the primary items.
.
Chair Davis asked whether the surfaces of the older skate park equipment posed a safety concern. She
questioned how much use the equipment was seeing.
Brown stated that areas of the older surfaces have been worn through. He noted that he has seen
numerous youth on the equipment almost daily. He questioned whether more should be done to the
passive space at the Skate Park.
Westerlund felt the City would be justified in creating something more comfortable for those coming to
use or supervise use at the Skate Park anyway.
Farniok suggested that some money be earmarked for the buckthorn removal program.
Brown suggested that the funds for the buckthorn removal program come from the operating budget as .
opposed to the CIP.
Chair Davis asked how more could be done with regard to trails.
Turgeon stated that there is no trail planning process in place at this time, as the City Council has not
stepped up to adopt a standardized process.
.
While he felt it might be appropriate to talk about trails at a later date, Brown suggested that it follow the
upcoming Council discussion over roadways.
8. DETERMINE LIAISON FOR SEPTEMBER CITY COUNCIL MEETING
August 22 - Chair Davis
September 26 -
October 24 - Westerlund
.
9. NEW BUSINESS
Westerlund reported that she had made contact with her source at MnDOT regarding funding for the
WEIC (Wetland Enhancement and Interpretive Center). While MnDOT is always looking for metro
projects to receive credits, he felt the $200,000 price tag for grading etc. in the feasibility study was a bit
high. If on the other hand, a project which requires credits in this specific part of town comes up he
would be interested in getting more information. Westerlund pointed out that, if the City chooses to use
MnDOT funds, the City may be ineligible for other grant opportunities, such as those for habitat
restoration.

Minutes as presented. Motion passed 5/0/1, with Gniftke abstaining due to absence at that meeting.
1.
7:00 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING - VARIANCE TO BUILD ON A SUBSTANDARD LOT
Applicant: Craig Buechler
Location: 5655 Eureka Road
Chair Bailey opened the Public Hearing at 7:02 P.M., noting the procedures utilized in a Public Hearing.
He also stated items be recommended for approval would appear on the August 22, 2005 Regular City
Council Meeting Agenda.
Director Nielsen explained that in January 2003 the City granted a variance to Craig Buechler to build a
new home on a substandard lot, located at 5655 Eureka Road. Mr. Buechler did not use the variance within
the required one year deadline and the approval lapsed. He had since submitted a similar variance request
with slightly different house plans.
Director Nielsen also stated the issues and analysis from the 2002 staff report were still valid. The
recommendation from the previous request included a condition that the plans be modified to comply with
the maximum impervious surface requirement (33%). The new site plan complied with both setback and
hardcover requirements for the R-1C district. Proposed hardcover was 32.7 percent. The only remaining
issue requiring resolution was the height of the structure. The plan illustrated a three-story structure, 36.5
feet in height, while the Code limited residential structures to 2.5 stories and 35 feet. As such, the building
required adjustment to comply with the maximum requirements of the Zoning Code. Staff recommended
the variance request be approved, subject to the applicant revising the plans to comply with height
requirements provided in the Zoning Code.
Craig Buechler, 5655 Eureka Road, clarified scale issues associated with the plans submitted and presented
to the Commission for this meeting. He stated since this application was essentially repetition of the
original variance request, he had little more to add at this time. He stated he would continue to work with
Director Nielsen to resolve the height issues associated with this request to bring it further into compliance
with the City's ordinances.

Seeing no one present wishing to address the Commission on this matter, Chair Bailey opened and closed
the Public Testimony portion ofthe Public Hearing at 7:10 P.M.
Commissioners clarified various aspects of the plans for the site.
Chair Bailey stated he was quite impressed with the efforts put forth by Mr. Buechler regarding placement
of the house in the buildable area of the lot as well as timely demolition of the previous house on the site.
He thanked Mr. Buechler for being a cooperative partner in working with the City in this request.
Gniffke moved, Gagne seconded, Approving a Variance to Build on a Substandard Lot, subject to all
Staff recommendations, for Craig Buechler, 5655 Eureka Road. Motion passed 6/0.
2. REVIEW LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR PARKVIEW PRELIMINARY PLAT
Applicant: Bridgeland Development Co.
Location: 5025/5045/5055/5075 Suburban Drive
Director Nielsen explained that at the June 7, 2005 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission
recommended approval of the Parkview preliminary plat subject to the submittal and review of a final
landscape plan for the project. This landscape plan had since been submitted and he requested the
Commission review it this evening. He then briefly reviewed the project site, noting a great deal of
landscape material had been placed near the proposed site entrance on Suburban Drive. Further he stated,
additional landscaping materials would be placed near the northwest comer of the project, and wetland
vegetation placed around the wetland area in the southwest comer of the property to act as a buffer. He
noted the landscape plan complied with City requirements, and the only remaining issue was that the
southerly boundary remained fairly exposed especially for proposed Lots 6 and 7 near the tennis courts
located in Manor Park. He requested the City remain "open" to the idea of allowing additional trees to be
planted along that edge of the project in addition to the other recommendations made by Staff.
Conley moved, Meyer seconded, Approving the Landscape Plan for Parkview Preliminary Plat,
subject to Staff recommendations, for Bridgeland Development Company, 5025/5045/5055/5075
Suburban Drive. Motion passed 6/0.
3. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
There were no matters from the floor brought to the attention of the Commission at this time.
4. DRAFT NEXT MEETING AGENDA
Director Nielsen noted there was a personal conflict with the date of next regularly scheduled meeting of
the Planning Commission and he requested the Commission consider meeting on Tuesday, August 23,2005
instead. The Commission agreed. Director Nielsen noted the revised meeting date would include a Study
Session Meeting Agenda devoted entirely to signage issues.

Buechler, Craig - Variance to Build on a Substandard Lot
405 (05.17)
.
In January 2003 the City granted a variance to Craig Buechler to build a new home on a
substandard lot, located at 5655 Eureka Road (see staff report, dated 2 December 2002-
attached as Attachment I, copied in yellow). Mr. Buechler did not use the variance
within the required one year deadline and the approval lapsed. He has now submitted a
similar variance request with slightly different house plans (see Exhibits B-G.
ANALYSIS/RECOMMENDATION
The issues and analysis from the 2002 staff report are still valid. The recommendation
from the previous request included a condition that the plans be modified to comply with
the maximum impervious surface requirement (33%). The new site plan (Exhibit A,
attached) complies with both setback and hardcover requirements for the R-IC district.
Proposed hardcover is 32.7 percent. The only issue that must be resolved is the height of
the structure. The plan illustrates a three-story structure, 36.5 feet in height. The Code
limits residential structures to 2.5 stories and 35 feet. As such, the building must be
adjusted to comply with the maximum requirements of the Zoning Code.
It is recommended that the variance request be approved, subject to the applicant revising
the plans to comply with height requirements provided in the Zoning Code.

RE:
Buechler, Craig - Variance to Build on a Substandard Lot
.
FILE NO.:
405 (02.32)
BACKGROUND
.
Having received a condemnation order for his property at 5655 Eureka Road (see Site
Location map - Exhibit A, attached), Mr. Craig Buechler now proposes to demolish the
existing two-family dwelling that now occupies the site. In its place he proposes to build
a new single-family home on the lot (see Exhibit B). The lot is substandard for the R-IC,
Single-Family Residential zomng district in which it is located. Consequently, Mr.
Buechler has requested a variance to build on a lot that does not meet 70 percent ofthe
area requirement of the R-IC district.
As can be seen on Exhibit B, Mr. Buechler's property is a triangular-shaped property
located in the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Eureka Road and the H.C.R.R.A.
(LRT Trail) right-of-way. The lot contains approximately 12,567 square feet of area and
measures 117 feet wide at the 35- foot building line. The lot is occupied by an existing
two-family that is not only a nonconforming use, but also does not comply with current
front or side yard setback requirements. An existing detached garage will also be
removed in favor of an attached garage on the new home.
.
Exhibit C shows the main floor plan for the new home. Exhibits D-G contain proposed
building elevations for the new home. Mr. Buechler explains his request in Exhibit H.

Buechler Variance
2 December 2002
ANAL YSISIRECOMMENDATION
A. Substandard Lots of Record.
Section 1201.03 Subd. 2.c.(3) of the Shorewood Zoning Code provides criteria for
building on a substandard lot of record (a lot that existed prior to current zoning
requirements and does not meet area or width requirements). The Code states that a
lot is considered to be buildable if it complies with the following criteria:
1. The lot must be in separate ownership from adjoining properties. Mr.
Buechler does not own the lot to the north of his. The H. C.R.R.A. trail bounds
the property to the south.
2. The lot must meet at least 70 percent ofthe width and area requirements for
the zoning. district in which it is located. This requires a lot to be 70 feet wide
and 14,000 square feet wide in the R-1C zoning district. Mr. Buechler's lot is
1433 square feet short of the area requirement. The variance is discussed in
B., below.
3. Th~ proposed buildings must comply with the setbacks of the zoning district.
The existing home on the property is seven feet from the side lot line, where 10
is required. Worse, it extends into the Eureka Road right-ofway by seven
feet. The proposed house complies with all of the R-1 C setbacks.
4. The floor area of structures can not exceed 30 percent of the area of the lot.
Total hardcover can not exceed 33 percent ofthe lot. Mr. Buechler's plans
include4545 squarefeet of hardcover, where 4147 is allowed. Consequently,
398 square feet of hardcover must be removed from the plan. This appears to
be possible by reducing driveway and deck area.
B. Variance.
Section 1201.05 Subd. 2.b.ofthe Shorewood Zoning Code sets forth criteria for the
consideration of variance requests. Before reviewing those criteria it may be useful to
discuss what could be done on the property without a variance.
Despite the nonconformities of the lot and the existing structure, the applicant could
repair the building and use it as a single-family dwelling. The existing house and
garage could be expanded within the described buildable area of the lot (observing the
33 percent hard cover requirement).
Following is how the applicant's request conforms to the criteria for variances:

Memorandum
Buechler Variance
2 December 2002 ..
1. Despite the configuration of the lot, the applicant has designed the new home
to comply with the setback requirements and hard cover limitations (reduced
as referenced above) of the current Zoning Code.
2. The applicant's hardship is not economic in nature, nor is it the result of his
actions. The lot and the existing home and garage existed prior to current
zoning standards.
3. Although the existing home could be expanded, under current zoning
requirements the applicant is not able to upgrade the existing structure which
is also substandard from a building code perspective.
4. Granting the variance does not confer any special privilege on the applicant
that would be denied to other properties. Presumably similar consideration
would be given to any owner who is willing to increase the conformity of a
substandard property to the extent proposed by this applicant.
5. The proposed home does not adversely affect the character of the existing
neighborhood.
6. The variance is the minimum necessary to make reasonable use of the
property. The proposed house and garage are very much in scale with the size
of the existing lot.
Based upon the preceding analysis, the request is considered to be consistent with the
criteria for granting a lot size variance. It is worth noting that Section 1201.03 Subd. 1. g.
provides for the rebuilding of single-family residential units on substandard lots as long
as setbacks are complied with to the extent possible. fu the end, this property will
conform far more to Shorewood's existing building and zoning standards than if the
variance were not granted. Approval of the applicant's plans is therefore recommended.

Letter requesting a Variance for 5655 Eureka Rd.
To whom it may concern:
We are seeking a Variance for the property we own at 5655 Eureka Road.
Currently, there is a house and detached garage in very poor condition on the property and
it is quite frankly an eyesore. The house itself is actually located 10 feet over our
property line, only 5 feet off of Eureka Rd., not conforming with the front yard setback by
over 42 feet! In addition, its use as a duplex is a nonconforming use.
We propose the removal of these buildings and the erection of a new home that would:
1) Be built to modem building standards.
2) Meet all building setback requirements.
3) Meet the current zoning use as a single family dwelling.
The Minimum variance we would need to accomplish the above, is to get a
variance for substandard lot area. Our current lot area is 12,567 sq. ft. (1,433 below the
14,000 sq. ft. requirement).
Sincerely,

August 17, 2005
Interim SLMPD Resolution Affecting 2006 Funding
At a work session on August 4, the City Council considered several proposals for interim funding of the
SLMPD for 2006. These points arose from a proposal by Greenwood Mayor Newman at a July 29
meeting ofthe SLMPD Coordinating Committee, and subsequent modifications made to it by the
Excelsior and Greenwood City Councils on August 1 and 2, respectively. Following Shorewood City
Council discussion on August 4, staff prepared a proposal with provisions that the Shorewood City
Council said it would consider when the full Council was next seated - August 22. That draft is attached.
The Proposal, as attached, will be an item of business at the meeting of the Coordinating Committee on
August 19 (after this writing, and before the Council meeting). The Chair, Mayor Newman, has indicated
that he will be suggesting that the Coordinating Committee endorse this proposal as the one that the
member city councils should agree to. At its meeting on August 9, the Tonka Bay City Council did not
approve this proposal, but that it would support it.
This proposal has been scheduled for consideration by the Shorewood City Council on August 22, the
Tonka Bay City Council on August 23, and the Greenwood City Council on August 25.
A New Excelsior Proposal: In addition to the proposal that Mayor Newman has indicated he would be
presenting on August 19, the Coordinating Committee likely will also consider the resolutions adopted by
the Excelsior City Council on August 15 (these resolutions are also attached), which include an August 28
deadline for agreement by all four SLMPD cities. The major departures from what Shorewood has
suggested and Chair Newman will be presenting to the Coordinating Committee are the following:
. Excelsior would pay 26.5 percent of the cities' 2006 operating budget contributions (not 27.0
percent), and it would not change the baseline contributions from the 2005 level of$1,355,932 (as
it has previously stated). There would be no "tiering" of services in 2006.
. Excelsior would pay $7,780.50 for resumption of full service (now Tier II service) on September
1,2005. This amount is the difference between 27.0 percent and 26.5 percent ofthe 2006
operating budget contribution.
. The discussion and resolution process will be completed by December 31, 2005, and may include
facilitation and/or mediation services. Further, "If satisfactory progress is not made by October
31,2005, each of the four cities shall be free to pursue alternate remedies."
. Excelsior restates its belief that it should be provided "full and uniform service" for its $400,000
payment in 2005. It states that the SLMPD has "withheld services" since 2004.
#.
~J PRINTEO ON RECYCLED PAPER
'#94
Interim SLMPD Resolution for 2006 Funding
August 22,2005, City Council Meeting
Page 2
.
Discussion: In its proposal, Excelsior would pay the 27.0 percent ofthe 2006 cities' payments, but it
accomplishes it in two parts:
. 26.5 percent in 2006 ($412,366.50)
. 0.5 percent in 2005 ( 7,780.50)
The $7,780,50 amount should go to Shorewood, as that is the difference between 49.0 percent and
48.5 percent that has been proposed for Shorewood to pay for 2006. With the payment being made in
2005 to the SLMPD, arguably it should be rebated to the three cities paying for Tier II services.
Shorewood's share is approximately 65 percent, or about $5,060. The Coordinating Committee
could take action to reserve these funds until 2006, and then make a reduction of$7,780.50 in
Shorewood's payments for 2006.
Providing full service to Excelsior on September 1 would be for one-third of the year. Excelsior .
authorized $400,000 for services in 2005, but it did not authorize the remaining $42,559 requested of
it for services throughout 2005. The cost for Tier II service for the last third of 2005 would be
$14,044. Payment of$7,780.50 is equivalent to 9.5 weeks of service, or approximately 2.5 months.
Status of Cities' Actions on SLMPD Funding for 2006: Greenwood, Shorewood, and Tonka Bay
have separated their actions on funding SLMPD operations for 2006 within the framework of the
JP A, and on the Interim Resolution on Funding. All three cities have approved their respective .
funding for the $1,556,100 in municipal contributions needed for the Coordinating Committee's
recommended 2006 budget (Greenwood at 8.5 percent; Shorewood at 46.0 percent; and Tonka Bay at
16.0 percent).
In its resolutions adopted August 15, the Excelsior City Council has stated its approved funding for
2006 would be a 0.0 percent increase - i.e., remain at the $400,000 level it has authorized since
budget year 2003. It would authorize an interim (i.e., one-year) level of funding of$412,366.50, .
provided that all cities agree with the conditions in Excelsior's resolutions.
JP A Amendment: Technically, an amendment to the joint powers agreement would be needed to
effect any of the proposals on the table. While it is acknowledged by all that such amendments
would not be ready for action by September I, the deadline in the JP A regarding authorized funding
for the next year of operations, Excelsior has stated that the amendments would need to be executed
by September 14. (That date may be flexible, provided that there are good-faith efforts to prepare the
amendment as promptly as possible.) The scope of the amendment proposed by Excelsior is broader
than Greenwood Mayor Newman's proposal as later modified by Shorewood and supported by Tonka
Bay.
Update: Staff will update the Council on the status of actions at the August 22 meeting.
City Council Action:
.
The City Council will need to decide whether to act regarding an Interim SLMPD Resolution
for 2006 Funding, and what modifications, if any, should be made to the provisions in the
proposal resulting from the Council's discussion at its August 4 work session.

RE: 'Accept Proposal and Award Contract for Dry Hydrant Relocation
.Mr. Michael Catain is the property owner of 4550 Enchanted Point, as shown in Attachment 1.
.
Mr. Catain has submitted a petition for local improvement, in accordance with the Minnesota State
Statut~ 429, requesting that the City perform an engineering analysis and public works improvement
proiect to relocate a dry hydrant that is located on the subject-parcel via a utility easement. Mr. Catain
desires that the hydrant be relocated outside of his property, and within the public right of way of
Enchanted Point.
.
On February 14th~ 2005, theShorewood City Council adopted Resolution 05-013, that declared the
adequacy of petition for the relocation of the dry hydrant system located at 4550 Enchanted Lane.
Similarly, on July ll, 2005, Resolution 05-063 accepted the feasibility n~portand ordered the
preparation of plans, specifications, and estimate for the improvement, and authorized the solicitation
of quotes for the improvement.
Staff presented the plans to contractors for the solicitation of quotes. Three quotes were received on
August 15th, 2005, and are summarized in Table 1 below. .
Firm . Amount of Quote
G.F. Jedlicki Inc. " - $ 47,960.00 ,"
Eureka Construction $ 49,258.00,"

.
Summaries of the quotes were provided to Mr. Catain and his attorney. Staff requested confirmation
as to whether to proceed with the project, based upon the quotes received. To date, staff has not
received such confirmation. Mr. Catain has voiced concerns regarding the total costs of the
improvement.
Mr. Catain has also indicated that timing for this project is very sensitive. It is anticipated direction
approving the costs for the improvement will be received prior to Monday evening's regularly
scheduled City Council meeting. If confirmation fails to arrive, staff will delete this item from the
agenda.
As mentioned previously, Mr. Catain has the right to decline the quotes obtained, and forego the
improvement project. If this occurs, Mr. Catain would need to reimburse the City for all costs incurred
to date. If however, Mr. Catain opts to proceed with the project, it is possible to have costs of the.
improvement and engineering assessed against the property.
Recommendation
Assuming confirmation is received prior to Monday's regularly scheduled the City Council meeting,
Staff is recommending approval of the resolution that accepts the proposal provided by G.F. Jedlicki,
Inc. for relocation of a dry hydrant system.
.
A resolution is attached for the City Council's consideration

Southshore Community Center.
Unfortunately, the right of way manager has been on a leave of absence due to illness. To date, records

anticipated that the right of way agent manger for this parcel will be back in the office very soon.

Interim Funding Agreement End9rsed. by SLMPD Coordinating Committee
At the special meeting ofthe SLMPD Coordinating Committee on Friday, August 19,2005, Chair
and Greenwood Mayor Bob Newman presented his "Temporary 'Make-Whole' ProIJosal- Final
Version", for funding the SLMPD 2006 Operating Budget and bringing the resolution of issues
related to the SLMPD to conclusion. Committee members had reviewed the several proposals and
resolutions that had been developed since their July 29 meeting, and got into lengthy d.i~cussion
regarding the :t:esolutions'adopted by the Excelsior City Council on August f5. At the end ofthe
special meeting, the Coordinating Committee endorsed Mayor Newman's proposal on a 3-1 vote
(Excelsior representative Nick Ruehl dissenting).
Mr. Newnian's Final Version is similar to the one developed from the Shoiewood City Council's
August 4 work session. Differences from the Council's draft proposal are:
.
Point 1 is dropped. An amendment to the .lP A to effect the proposal technically will be
needed; it does not need to be stated explicitly. .
Point 2 remains silent about changing the baseline paymel)ts by the cities resulting from the
increase in payments called for in this proposal. On August 15, Excelsior reiterated thatit
would not beauthorizing any increase in its required (or baseline) payment from 2005 to 2006
- i~ would rem~il1 at $400,000, a 0.0 percent increase.
Points 6 and 7 were combil)ed and simplified.

Shorewood., TonkaBay, and Greenwood city councils will be meeting during the week of August 22.
