Executive Summary
Shorewood City Council Regular Meeting
Monday, 22 November 2004
.
An EDA meeting will immediately follow the Council meeting
Agenda Item #3A: Enclosed is the Verified Claims List for Council approval.
Agenda Item #3B: Staffing - no action required
Agenda Item #3C: City Clerk's License Approvals ~ no action required
Agenda Item #3D: Phobe Harrington has arranged to acquire the detached garage at
_Minnetonka Drive and move it to her property at 23870 Elder Turn. The Building
Official has reviewed the structure, the City Engineer has approved the route and the
Planning Commission has recommended approval.
.
Agenda Item #3E: Roger Nitz has requested additional time to comply with a ''Notice to
Remove" and zoning violation letter. Council routinely grants 30 day extensions in cases
where a good faith effort is being made to correct the violations. Assuming some
positive movement by Monday night's meeting, a thirty day extension is considered
reasonable.
Agenda Item #8A: Matthew Phillippi proposes to subdivide two parcels ofland on Femcroft
Drive into four lots. His plans include demolition of a nonconforming two-family dwelling and a
nonconforming detached garage in consideration of lot area variances for three of the resulting
lots. He has' also requested vacation of five feet of the existing Femcroft Drive right-of-way.
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend denial of the application.
Subsequently, Mr. Phillippi has requested that his application be tabled (continued) pending the
Planning Commission's consideration of the criteria for granting variances. The Commission
has agreed to take up that discussion at its January study session. It is recommended that Mr.
Phillippi's request for continuance be approved for 120 days. Mr. Phillippi's letter includes a
waiver of the 60/120 rule.

Executive Summary - City Council Meeting of 22 November, 2004
Page 2 of3
Agenda Item #8B: Mark Finch and his neighbor, Tim Klouda, have agreed to rearrange the
property line between their lots. The Planning Commission has recommended approval
of the division and combination, including allowing up to six months to record the
resolution. A draft resolution is included herein for your consideration.
J
Agenda Item #9A: At long last, the final version of the Recodified Ordinances is ready for
adoption. Staff and attorney have reviewed the new City Code book for consistency with
the changes as concurred by Council, and reviewed for accuracy as well. On November
16, the Planning Commission made its statutorily-required review of the changes relating
to land use, and recommended their approval. Staff has provided Council with another
copy of the table summarizing changes to the Code for your ease of review. To make the
new Code effective, the Council must adopt an ordinance to enact it.
Agenda Item #9B: The SLMPD Coordinating Committee will be meeting shortly after
Thanksgiving in order to determine what services will be provided in Level I and Level II
services for 2005. To fund the Level II service as proposed by the Coordinating .
Committee, Shorewood would need to add $18,000 to the amount the Council currently
has in its 2005 proposed budget. The staff memorandum explains the reasons for the
difference. Council discussion about what it would prefer to do in this matter will be
very helpful for Mayor Love and the rest of the Coordinating Committee in determining
what funds Shorewood plans to authorize for 2005.
Agenda Item #lOA: On November 8th, Chuck Rickart presented alternatives to address safety
issues on Radission Road. At that meeting, it was suggested that an open house be
scheduled for residents along Radission Road. Staff is recommending the date of the
public information meeting be set on December 2nd, 2004, at 6:30 p.m., at the Shorewood
City Hall.
Agenda Item #10B: The City of Shore wood has previously prepared a feasibility study for the
extension of city water along Timber Lane, from the intersection of County Road 19 and .
Timber Lane, to the cul-de-sac. This was based upon a petition from a portion of the
residents who own property adjacent Timber Lane.
Based upon the requirements of both the statutory and City Ordinance, the petitions
received are adequate to move forward with the preparation of plans, specifications, and
engineers estimate. Once plans have been prepared, a public hearing will be scheduled
for the improvement.
Feedback received from a few of the residents along Timber Lane indicate that it would
be best to hold off on conducting the public hearing until the spring of 2005, as a portion
of the residents have headed south for the winter season.
Staff is recommending approval of the resolution that declares the Adequacy of Petition
for the Timber Lane Watermain Project. A resolution is attached for your consideration.
Agenda Item #12: The Council has planned to conduct the annual performance assessment of
the city administrator tonight. What is important is that this assessment be completed by

4. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
Tom S1cramstad, 28020 Woodside Road, stated he thought Shorewood was a great city under terrific
leadership, and he wanted to personally thank Councilmembers Garfunkel and Zerby for their many years
of service to the residents of Shorewood. He wished them well in their future endeavors.
5. REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS
A. Report from LMCD Representative Tom Skramstad
Tom S1cramstad, Representative of Shorewood and Chair of the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District
(LMCD) Board stated he was present this evening to provide a quarterly report on the recent activities of
the LMCD. Mr. S1cramstad reported on issues pertaining to the Solar Light Buoy Project, Milfoil
Harvesting, Phosphorus Sampling, Zebra Mussel Prevention Program, Boat Density and User Attitude
Surveys, a Shoreline Storage Count as well as Howard's Point Marina activities. He also reported on .
several issues, such as the Sheriff's Department Annual meeting, Six Mile Creek, 2005 Board
Appointments, Ongoing Licenses and Permits, and Logistics related to cable casting the LMCD
meetings.
In response to Mayor Love's comments on milfoil harvesting and phosphorus issues, Mr. S1cramstad
stated that due to the heavy land development of areas near wetlands, these wetlands were unable to
perform their function in nature's cycle. As a result, substantial amounts of phosphorus were ending up
in Lake Minnetonka and helping to encourage the growth of many non-native plants such as milfoil.
While harvesting was not always considered the best method of milfoil removal with the most benefits, it
did provide navigational relief for boaters and was considered somewhat effective in reducing the amount
of phosphorus in the lake. He also stated he would share Mayor Love's comments regarding the need for
additional funding mechanisms for the harvesting, other than funding from the area cities for this
program, with the LMCD Board and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.
Mr. S1cramstad also stated, in response to Councilmembers' questions, he would report back on .
discussions related to additional funding for the fulltime Water Patrol officers at the Sheriff's Annual
meeting, as well as discussions regarding a change in the fee structure for Charter Boat Liquor Licensing.
Mayor Love thanked him for his thorough reports and attention to detail. He stated he held the City's
relationship with Mr. Skramstad as an example to others on good reporting.
6. PUBLIC HEARING
There were no public hearings scheduled this evening.
7. PARKS
A. Report on Park Commission Meeting Held November 3,2004

With regard to the proposed dog park in Carver County, Mayor Love stated he was aware some residents
had concerns that formalizing this frequently used park area might actually restrict usage for dog owners,
and he questioned whether the Park Commission was still supportive of the idea.
Commissioner Meyer explained the majority of the Park Commission remained supportive at this time,
since the acreage was of good size, would be unusable for a specific sporting purpose due to the
topography, and there was no room within the City to supply a dog park. She also explained it was the
understanding of the Commission that a one-time donation to this park would be the request, and that the
funds being requested for site development purposes.
Councilmember Turgeon complimented Mr. Qualle, the concessionaire at Freeman Park for the
Spring/Summer months on a fine job well done in that position. Mayor Love stated he agreed, and
complimented Mr. Qualle on his ability to show profitability with the concessions.
8. PLANNING
There were no planning matters to report on at this time.
9. GENERAL/NEW BUSINESS
A. LMCC 2005 Budget Presentation by Sally Koenecke, LMCC Administrator
Administrator Dawson explained the Lake Minnetonka Communications Commission (LMCC) Board of
Directors approved the LMCC's 2005 Budget in August. According to the LMCC Joint Powers
Agreement, the majority of the LMCC member Councils needed to review and approve the budget for it
to take effect. He then introduced Sally Koenecke, Administrator for the LMCC.
Ms. Koenecke thanked Council for inviting her to speak on this issue and also thanked Administrator
Dawson for hosting the "The Tonka Report" show quarterly this year on cable. She also thanked the
City for televising the Council meetings, and she was also pleased the LMCD would televising their
meetings as well. Ms. Koenecke stated she was present this evening to provide a brief overview of the
budget.
She explained the budget for the LMCC was not funded through tax dollars, but rather a cable company
franchise fee paid annually to the LMCC. She also noted funding was received from a PEG (Public,
Educational, Governmental) access fee for community use of the production studio for use this year.
She then reviewed the budget funds for 2005, noting there would be a slight dip in the fund balance this
year due to the need for additional equipment for the television studio.
In response to Councilmember Turgeon's question regarding support of the budget despite the reduction
in fund balance, Ms. Koenecke stated approximately $300,000 remained in the fund balance, and each
year the LMCC Board attempted to keep close to the original fund balance due to potential yearly
changes in funding mechanisms from the State legislature.
Mayor Love thanked Ms. Koenecke for her report and stated he appreciated the South Lake Minnetonka
Police Department and Excelsior Fire District Governing Boards' meetings being cablecast as well.

Zerby moved, Turgeon seconded, Approving the 2005 Budget for the Lake Minnetonka
Communications Commission. Motion passed 4/0.
B. Approval of Certification of Delinquent Charges
Administrator Dawson explained the City Code provided for annual certification of delinquent utility
bills against the properties served. He stated each property owner may object to this proposed
certification of delinquent accounts and as part of the appeal process, may request a hearing in front of
the City Council. This year there was one such request from Ronald Johnson, 5355 Shady Hills Circle,
and Mr. Johnson was in attendance this evening. At issue was the sump pump surcharge for the property.
Administrator Dawson also stated copies of related correspondence with this property owner were
submitted for Council review.
Mayor Love welcomed Mr. Johnson and asked whether he would like to share the basis for his appeal on
this matter.
Mr. Johnson stated his appeal was the same as it was last year, and he questioned whether the surcharge .
was considered just and equitable in his case. He also stated his disappointment the current Council had
never bothered to visit his property, and apparently the Council had not bothered to listen to his requests
either as he was being surcharged yet again.
Mayor Love stated the record would show the Council did take the time to listen to his case; however,
agreement on the case was a different issue. He stated the Council always listened, but did not always
agree with Mr. Johnson.
Mr. Johnson then reviewed the history of his case regarding the sump pump surcharge and subsequent
legal outcomes as a result of lawsuits brought against the City regarding this matter. He stated the sump
pump water being discharged onto his land from other properties constituted a taking by the City and he
questioned whether the City was going to pay him for the taking of this land or whether it was going to
fix the problem causing it. He stated he thought the Council should postpone this matter until the new
Council could be seated early next year.
Administrator Dawson stated these issues brought forth by Mr. Johnson were not related to this
surcharge.
.
Mr. Johnson cited Minnesota Statute 444, noting charges could only be levied if they were just and
equitable. He then questioned how these charges could be considered just and equitable in his situation.
He stated he thought the City was taking this action because the City did not like him since he continued
to bring lawsuits against the City. He questioned what the just and equitable criteria were in this case.
Mayor Love stated with all due respect, the correspondence from Mr. Johnson, dated November 6, 2004,
was a matter of record in this case. Furthermore, he stated, the Councilmembers were four independent
people and did not take dictated actions from him on any matter.
Councilmember Zerby stated Mr. Johnson had created an unwelcome situation by suing him personally
in several lawsuits brought against the City, and he would not likely visit Mr. Johnson due to that
circumstance. Also, he noted Mr. Johnson had never contacted him either, despite the fact his phone
number was listed in several publications and was a matter of public record. Councilmember Zerby also
questioned whether the City had specifically requested neighboring sump pump discharge be directed
,
CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINTUES
November 8, 2004
Page 5of7
onto his land. He stated he believed this was a matter to be taken up between Mr. Johnson and his
neighbor, and not the City. Councilmember Zerby stated Mr. Johnson was also delinquent in his several
other fees as well, even though these fees did not directly pertain to the issues presented this evening.
Mayor Love thanked Mr. Johnson for his comments presented this evening.
Administrator Dawson stated the City had paid all judgments necessary to Mr. Johnson as court ordered.
Statutory language in this case provided "reasonable costs" as the standard, and he noted Shorewood's
ordinance related to these charges was similar to what other cities were doing as well.
Zerby moved, Lizee seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 04-094. "A Resolution Granting
Approval of Certification of Delinquent Charges." Motion passed 4/0.
C. Planning Commission Appointments
.
Zerby moved, Lizee seconded, Appointing Scott Williams, 5955 Country Club Road, to a position
on the Planning Commission for a term ending on February 28, 2005.
Councilmember Turgeon questioned whether the City should try to keep a balance of representation from
various parts of the City and thought this goal might be better achieved if the other candidate were
appointed. She stated she thought both candidates were very well qualified for the position, and she
meant nothing personal toward either candidate in asking the question of representation.
Zerby withdrew his motion.
Mayor Love stated he believed both candidates very well qualified, and he also liked to see as much
geographic representation on Commissions as possible.
.
Turgeon moved, Zerby seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 04-095, "A Resolution Making
Planning Commission Appointments by Appointing David Meyer to a position on the Planning
Commission for a term ending on February 28, 2005." Motion passed 3/0/1, with Lizee abstaining.
10. ENGINEERING/PUBLIC WORKS
A. Radisson Road Report
Administrator Dawson explained Chuck Rickart ofWSB & Associates, the City's consulting engineering
firm, was present this evening to provide a report on the traffic study completed on Radisson Road. This
study had been conducted as a result of a petition of local residents who lived on or near Radisson Road
who stated that the subject roadway was being utilized as an alternate route to State Highway 7.
Mr. Rickart stated the Origin Destination study had been completed earlier and a report detailing the
findings had been submitted to Council for review. The report had concluded there was a high number of
cut-through trips on Radisson Road. Mr. Rickart stated he would present four alternatives, along with
cost estimates for each alternative, to minimize traffic on the roadway. With regard to the four
alternatives presented, Mr. Rickart stated the issues of safety of the roadway and cut-through traffic were
components of each of the concepts for these alternatives. To that end, two of the alternatives were
considered "safety alternatives" and two alternatives were considered "operations alternatives."
,
CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINTUES
November 8, 2004
Page 6 of7
The first option presented included reconstructing or widening Radisson Road. The second alternative
included the addition of signing and striping improvements. One of the operations alternatives included
closing street access points along the roadway and the final alternative included designating portions of
the roadway as a one-way street. Cost estimates for these alternatives ranged from $40,000 to
$2,000,000.00.
Mr. Rickart explained the next step in this project would be to hold a public meeting with residents in
that area to gather input regarding which alternative posed would be suitable for that area. A final report
would then be generated and shared with Council prior to implementation of whatever alternative was
deemed suitable.
Councilmember Turgeon expressed surprise and concern for the significant costs associated with some of
the alternatives for remedy of this situation. She stated she did not think striping and signage would
provide any significant relief to the situation, but she was curious to hear residents' input on the roadway
closure and one-way designation for the roadway.
Councilmember Zerby agreed, noting it would be interesting to see a blending of alternatives three and .
four to determine how costs would be impacted for such a proj ect.
Mayor Love agreed with the Councilmembers, and stated he had recollections of these alternatives being
discussed by residents at a "neighborhood walk" early in the review process for this roadway. He then
thanked Mr. Rickart for his report.
B. Accept Bids and Award Contract - County Road 19/Country Club RoadlSmithtown
Road Intersection Project
Don Sterna, of WSB & Associates, explained that this item had been continued from the October 25,
2004, Council meeting in order to allow staff an opportunity to address financing issues that had
unexpectedly arisen as a result of communications from the MnDOT State Aid Office. Since that time,
the State Aid Office had been able to make available the $800,000 advance funding that the City had
planned to use in order to complete the County Road 19 Intersection Project. In addition bids were
relieved and opened on Wednesday, October 20, 2004, for this project. Eureka Construction, Inc., .
submitted the lowest responsible bid in the amount of $3,566,322.45.
Councilmember Turgeon stated she was experiencing "sticker shock" regarding the total cost for this
project. She stated she was quite concerned that the original estimates included three years' worth ofthe
City's Municipal State Aid monies, and now the project necessitated inclusion of six years worth of
MSA dollars. She stated it was very unfortunate this increase had taken place and no construction had
yet occurred.
Mayor Love stated he was pleased to see the partnering efforts in governmental units in order to achieve
completion of the project. He noted there was an obvious need for the project and he believed all persons
traversing the roadway would be pleased with the efforts of all in this matter.
Zerby moved, Turgeon seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 04-096. "A Resolution Accepting
Bid and Awarding Contract for the County State Aid Highway 19- Smithtown Road Intersection
Improvement Project." Motion passed 4/0.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Planning <=.:ommission, Mayor and City Council
.
FROM:
Brad Nielsen
DATE:
11 November 2004
RE:
Harrington, Phobe - Permit to Move a Garage
FILE NO.:
Property: 23870 Elder Turn
BACKGROUND
.
Phobe Harrington owns the property at 23870 Elder Turn (see Site Location map - Exhibit A,
attached). She has arranged to purchase an existing garage presently located on the property at
5380 Minnetonka Drive and move it to her property along the route shown on Exhibit A.
Shorewood's Municipal Code requires such moves to be reviewed by the Planning Commission
and approved by the City/Council.
The applicant proposes to relocate the garage from its present location to the east side of her
property, as shown on Exhibit B. Photos of the relatively new building are shown on Exhibit C.
ANAL YSIS/RECOMMENDATION
Shorewood's Code sets forth a procedure for moving of buildings within the city. The building
must be inspected for compliance with current building codes, the City Engineer must approve
the route, and the police department must approve the route and the time ofthe move. Given the
recent construction of the building in question, its relative small size, and the short distance over
which it is proposed to be moved, none of these factors should preclude the move. The police
typically specify that the structure be move outside of rush hour traffic or at night.

Memorandum
Re: Harrington Garage Moving Permit
11 November 2004
It is recommended that the move be approved, subject to the following:
1. The City Engineer must approve the route.
2. The applicant must provide proofthat the proposed location of the garage will
comply with zoning requirements.
3. The applicant must convert the existing garage on her property to living space.
Assuming that this will not happen prior to the proposed move, a letter of credit or
cash escrow to guarantee that the work will be completed within 90 days must be
provided.

RE:
Nitz, Roger - Appeal Notice to Remove
FILE NO.:
Property(25015 Smithtown Road)
In response to neighborhood complaints, our office sent a "Notice to Remove" and a zoning
violation letter to Mr. Roger Nitz at the above-referenced address (see Exhibit A, attached).
Mr. Nitz has now appealed the notice (see Exhibit B). His appeal asks for additional time to
comply with the notice, but does hot specify how much time he needs.
Staff explained to Mr. Nitz that the Council routinely grants an extension of 30 additional days
for compliance, provided the property owner is making a good faith effort to comply with the
Code.
. The appeal also refers to certain items that he would like to keep on the property. In,
conversation with Mr. Nitz, it was determined that the bricks for a future patio project could
remain on the site. The boatlift simply needs to be moved out of the side-yard setback. The
lumber should be stored in the garage until it is needed for the boat tarps. However, the skid
steer does not meet the criteria of residential use, and unless it can be stored within a garage it
must be removed from the property along with all other items listed on the violation notices.
Assuming the owner is making progress as of Monday, the extension oftime is recommended.
Staff will reinspect the property prior to Monday night's meeting to check on progress. Failure
to comply with the extended deadline should result in legal action without further notice.

RE:
Phillippi, Matthew - Minor Subdivisions and Lot ArealWidth
Variances
FILE NO.:
405 (04.31)
BACKGROUND
.
Mr. Matthew Phillippi has acquired three parcels of property, located at 4880 and 4890
Ferncroft Drive and 21155 Minnetonka Boulevard (see Site Location map and Existing
Parcels - Exhibits A and B, respectively, attached). He proposes to resubdivide the three
parcels into five lots as shown on Exhibit C. Mr. Phillippi's proposal involves two minor
subdivisions with lot area variances on three of the lots. Additionally, Mr. Phillippi
requests that five feet of the right-of-way for Ferncroft Drive be vacated.
The subject properties are zoned R-1D/S, Single-Family Residential/Shoreland. Parcell
consists of two previously platted lots and one-half of a vacated right-of-way. This
parcel contains 19,251 squarefeet of area and is occupied by a single-family dwelling
and a detached garage. Parcel 2 contains 9874 square feet and is vacant, except for the
garage of the property to the south that encroaches onto the parcel by approximately 17
feet. The owner of the garage has agreed to remove it, and Mr. Phillippe has agreed to
convey a driveway easement across Parcel 2 (Lot C) to access a future garage at the rear
ofthat lot. Parcel 3 contains 18,138 square feet and is occupied by a nonconforming two-
family dwelling and a detached garage that is located too close to Ferncroft Drive.
Zoning and land use surrounding the properties in question is primarily R-1D/S,
developed as single-family residential. The exception to this pattern is the old Kuemple

Memorandum
Re: Phillippi Minor Division and Variances
10 November 2004
Chime Clock property, lying west of Parcel 3. This property is zoned R-C, Residential
Commercial. The building is occupied by a woodworking shop and offices.
As proposed, Parcel A will have 80 feet of width but will require an area variance of
approximately367 square feet. If the five feet of Ferncroft Drive is vacated, Parcel B
will have 10,018 square feet and 80 feet of width. Lot C will be 80 feet wide and will
contain 10,274 square feet of area. The applicant proposes to remove the nonforming
two-familydwelling and garage on Parcel 3 and divide it into two single-family
residential lots, both 70 feet wide. Lot D will have 9366 square feet, while Lot E will
have 9572 square feet of area.
ANALYSIS/RECOMMENDATION
.
The area originally platted as Minnetonka Marior is characterized by small lots, many of
which were only 50 feet in width and as small as 7000 square feet in area. Over the
years, many of the lots have been combined and reconfigured. Nevertheless, 50-foot
wide lots, smallerthan 10,000 square feet remain scattered throughout "the Manor".
From this perspective, the proposed lots are not considered to be out of character with the
area.
The applicant's proposal is based more on a "trade-off', that is, eliminating several
nonconformitiesin exchange for variances on three lots, than hardship. The proposed
improvements include the removal of a nonconforming use -the two-family dwelling,
removal of a garage that does not comply with setbacks, and correction of the garage
encroachment from the neighboring lot. Also, if the variances are to be favorably
considered, the garage on Lot A, should be required to be moved into conformity with
rear yard setback requirements or removed.
.
It may be worth noting that, if the applicant's proposal is viewed as a small
redevelopment project, the average lot area for the five lots would be 9773, square feet,
where 10,000 square feet is required. The average lot width would be 76 feet, where 75
feet is required. .
If the Planning Commission and City Council feel that the applicant's proposal has merit,
any approval should include the following conditions:
1. The garage on Lot A must be brought into conformity with R-1D setback
requirements. A letter of credit or cash escrow sufficient to guarantee compliance
should be required prior to release of the resolution approving the division.
2. Assuming it will take some time to remove the existing two-family dwelling and
garage, a letter of creditor cash escrow sufficient to guarantee the removal within
six months should be required. The applicant should provide bids for this work so
that the escrow can be determined.

Memorandum
Re: Phillippi Minor Division and Variances

3. The encroaching garage must be removed within six months. Again, an escrow
must be provided.
4. The applicant must provide a copy of the driveway easement across Lot C,
I .
suitable for recording. .
5. The applicant must provide deeds for the drainage and utility easements on each
of the new lots.
6. The applicant must provide title opinions or title commitments for all of the
subject properties for review by the City Attorney.
.
7. The deeds, title opinions and bids referenced in 1-5 above must be submitted
within 30 clays of the Council's approval of the request. The escrows for 1.5
times the amount ofthe bids must be submitted within 60 days, at which time the
resolutions and deeds must be recorded with Hennepin County.
8. Prior to release of the Council resolution approving the request, the applicant
must pay park dedication fees ($1500 perlot) and local sanitary sewer charges
($1200 per lot) for the two newly created lots. Credit is allowed for the three
existing parcels.

I am very much in favor of Matt's two subdivisions.
Matt is willing to remove a duplex and his garages in return for small variances. I believe
that this would be an improvement to the neighborhood. Also knowing Matt personally
for the majority of our lifetimes, and his being a longtime Shorewood resident that I'm
confident that these considerations will be of benefit to both the community and the city.

Date:l0 November 2004
Mr. Nielsen:
. We own property legally described as:
Lot 1, Block 11, in Minnetonka Manor
We plan to build a house on this lot. As property owners, we are in favor of the duplex at
1900 Ferncroft being burned down by the fire department. Two houses will be built to
replace the duplex.
Initially, the duplex was (technically) built on 2 separate lots. The two new houses' would be
Ii big improvement over the existing duplex, which is over 100 years old and too dilapidated
to justify required monetary improvements. .'
.
Two, new single- family residential homes that would be built on the lot at 2155
Minnetonka 'Blvd would improve the neighborhood, and increase the propertY'value of the
hOlD.es in the area.
We.understand that there are 50- foot lots in Minnetonka Manor, so sub. dividing both
parcels intq larger, single- family residential lots would not be a problem.
We request your approval of this planned development. Thank You.
Best Regards,
1r~!Z:2{~

Dear Planning Commission Members,
I am responding to the written notice for Public Hearing held Tuesday, Nov, 16,2004 at 7 :00
P.M. on the lot-size variances at the properties of 21155 Minnetonka Blvd and 4900 Femcroft
Dr..
I am in favor of the subdivisions for both properties and realignment of the properties lines. This
area of Shorewood has several small lots under 10,000 square feet. Many of the lots on the east
end ofFerncroft Dr have had new houses built and others have been remodeled in the last few
years. The same type of development has happen on Minnetonka Blvd where the other
subdivision is located.
Mr. Phillippi had grown up in the same neighborhood and has owned these properties for several:'
years. If any improvements to the properties would enhance the neighborhood for further
development.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Brad Nielsen
DATE:
11 November 2004
, RE:
Finch/Klouda - Minor Subdivision and Combination
FILE NO.:
405 (04.34)
BACKGROUND
Mark Finch and Tim Klouda own the properties at 20090 and 20250 Excelsior Boulevard,
respectively (see Site Location map - Exhibit A, attached). They propose to rearrange the
common lot line between their properties as illustrated on Exhibits B and C. The subject
properties are located in the R-1A, Single-Family Residential zoning district.
Part of the Kloudaproperty includes Tract D, RLS 1083. Mr. Klouda proposes to convey the
easterly 100 feet of Tract D to Mr. Finch, who will combine it with his property to the east. The
amount land to be conveyed is'approximate1y 2150 square feet. .
It should be noted that Mr. Finch's property is actually two parcels. As part of this application,
Mr. Finch will legally combine his lots with the small triangle now owned by Mr. Klouda.
ANAL YSISIRECOMMENDATION
This request is very simple. The proposed lot line rearrangement cleans up a gerrymandered lot
line between the two properties. Per staffs recommendation, the applicants have agreed to
provide the City with a drainage and utility easement, 10 feet wide on each side of the new lot
line. The applicants should provide a deed for this easement, to be included as an attachment to
the resolution approving the division/combination.

Memorandum
Re: Finch/Klouda Minor Subdivision/Combination
11 November 2004
Mr. Finch has requested that the resolution not have to be recorded until such time as the Klouda '
property (currently for sale) is sold. As long as the applicants provide an up-to-date title opinion
, or title commitment for revi~w by the City Attorney prior to the sale, it is recommended that the
City allow as much as six months for the transaction to be recorded.

Mayor and Council Members
Jean Panchyshyn, Deputy Clerk ~ 11f'
Craig W. Dawson, City Administrator/Clerk
.
FROM:
RE: CITY CODE BOOK RECODIFICATION
In May of 2002, Council authorized the City Administrator to enter into a contract with the
League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) and American Legal Publishing to conduct a legal review
and recodification of the City Code Book.
.
American Legal Publishing and Duke Addicks, LMC Codification Attorney, supplied the City
with an editorial and legal review report, as well as a Draft Code for review. As Council may
recall, two work sessions were, held on October 20,2003, and November 3,2003, to review the
proposed edits by American Legal Publishing, the LMC, and staff. Staff finalized the edits and
forwarded them to American Legal Publishing on May 28, 2004. A copy of this final report of
edits is attached as Exhibit A.
Below are highlights of the major recodification edits:
. Several. chapters which were outdated were removed: Chapter 108- Industrial Revenue
Bonds; Chapter 203-Human Relations Commission; Chapter 20S-Land Conservation and
Environment Committee; Chapter 303- Taxicabs; Chapter S04- Tree Diseases; and
Chapter S06 - Individual Water Supply and Sewage Disposal (these topics are covered in
Chapters 903 & 904).
. Chapter SOl-General Health and Safety Provisions, and Chapter S02-Nuisances, have
been combined and rewritten to new Chapter SOl-Nuisances.
. Chapter 30l-Gambling and Raffles, was rewritten using the LMC's model ordinance, as
many ofthe provisions in the existing code were outdated.
. Chapter 606-Juvenile Curfew, was revised using-the LMC's model ordinance, which
conforms to recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions concerning curfew.
. Chapter 1201.02 -The definition of "Family" has been revised.
. Fees will be adopted by Ordinance.

Many other minor technical and clarifying edits were made throughout the Code Book.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed changes to the Zoning Ordinance at its
October 19,2004 meeting, and held a public hearing on the proposed changes to the Zoning
Ordinance on November 16, 2004. All proposed changes to the Zoning Ordinance are
recommended for approval by the Planning Commission.
American Legal Publishing has completed the edits and has supplied the city with a final copy of
the new Code Book. A copy of the new Code Book is included for Council's review. The new
Code Book is current through Ordinance No. 401 passed on February 23,2004.
In addition to receiving paper copies of the Code Book, American Legal Publishing has provided .
the city with an electronic copy of the Code Book in searchable Folia format which will be
installed on the city's network. A CD of the Code Book in Microsoft Word was also provided.
The Code Book will be made available on the City's Website in a searchable format upon
Council approval of an Ordinance accepting the recodification of the City Code.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Council adopt an Ordinance to enact the revised City Code of

PROPOSED CHANGES AND REASONS
We have kept your numbering and organization system.
Throughout the report I refer to Minnesota Statutes as M. S.

section sign, "9", indicating a section number.
PLEASE NOTE:
COPIES OF STATE LAWS. SESSION LAWS AND RULES
may be easily obtained through the Internet at
http://www.1eg.state.mn.us/leg/statutes.htm
The words such, said, herein, etc., were changed to a more OK
appropriate reference, and the code made gender neutral.
Whenever a statute or rule is cited, after the citation the words OK
"as it may be amended from time to time" will be added in your
final code.
The reason for this is as follows.
Under the state law, which authorizes cities to adopt laws and
rules by reference, M. S. 9471.62, there is some controversy
over whether, when a rule or law is referenced or adopted in an
ordinance or code, future amendments to the law or rule are or
can also be included.
The Attorney General is of the opinion that future amendments
to laws and rules can not be adopted by reference because at the
point of time when an ordinance is enacted or a code is adopted,
the governing body has no knowledge what future amendments
to state laws and rules will be.
However, in drafting codes, I always include the language "as
they may be amended from time to time" after a citation to a
statute or rule to at least attempt to include future amendments
in the adoption of a law or rule by reference. This language will
be included in the final code after every citation.
But I do want to point out that even including this language
may not be effective to adopt future amendments to laws and
rules. Item continued on next a e...

Each year after the legislative session the city should adopt a

The above phrase has been inserted in your draft code's general

PROPOSED CHANGES AND REASONS
This chapter contains many out of date provisions and seems to
imply that the city licenses lawful gambling. Most lawful
gambling is now licensed by the State Gambling Control Board.
Rather than try to correct the language in the draft code, I
suggest that all of the language of this chapter be deleted, and
the language of the model ordinance found in the enclosed
Lawful Gambling memo 255.7 dated June 2002 be used with
whatever changes the city may wish to make. When the city
replies to this report, just send a copy of the model ordinance

SECTION
PROPOSED CHANGES AND REASONS
This chapter contains the League's model language dealing
with nuisances. It replaces the out of date language contained in
the 1987 code. Does the city wish to retain this language in the
final code? If so, Chapter 501 should probably be deleted. Also,
if the city wishes to use the League's model language, I would
like to replace it with the more recent language contained in the
enclosed 2003 Minnesota Basic Code Chapter 92, Nuisances.
This more recent language contains additional noise
regulations, and also takes into account the fact that except in
emergencies, city employees or their agents can not enter land
without the permission of the owner or having obtained an
administrative search and seizure warrant.

REASON
The language of this chapter is out of date. For example, the
law permitting the immediate sale of abandoned vehicles more
than 7 years old and older in ~ 503.06, Subd. 2 was repealed
over ten years ago. The provisions of ~ 503.07 violate several

In the first paragraph, delete everything after the sentence in
italics, and insert. The standards are those contained in
Minnesota Rules Ch 7080, Individual Sewage Treatment
Systems, as they may be<amended from time to tome. Delete
paragraphs a, b, c, d, and e, and alsof, Subds 1 and 2. Retain
Subds 3, and 4. Delete Subd. 5.
REASON
The cited rules are the state standards that apply to individual
sewage treattfienrsystems. A city can have more restrictive
standards, and from w-nat I-can tell, the standards in the draft
code are inconsistent with and less restrictive than the state
standards. Every county is required by law to adopt a county- .
wide ordinance regulating these systems. Installers must be
licensed by the state which requires them to bonded and
insured. Considerable training is also required.
If the county enforces the county ordinance concerning
individual sewage treatment systems, the provisions of this
chapter concerning these systems should be deleted.
Is this change acceptable? Or should all of the provisions of this
chapter concerning these systems be deleted?
Please advise.

November 18, 2004
City's 2005 Budget for SLMPD Funding
As you may recall, the. South Lake Minnetonka Police Department developed several scenarios for its
proposed 2005 budget. These scenarios were prepared to help the member city councils understand
what level of service they would likely receive for the amount of funding they would authorize for
next year. The SLMPD Coordinating Committee endorsed a budget that required a 4.1 percent
increase over the budget (and city contributions) it recommended for 2004. Under this budget,
sometimes referred to as "the budget made whole", all cities would receive the same service; there
would be no need to consider Level I and Level Iltiers of service.
Most scenarios assumed that the authorized funding would fall short of that recommended by the
Coordinating Committee. As it turned out, the Excelsior City Council approved a 4.1 percent
increase above its 2004 contribution. The $416,400 authorized is approximately $26,000 below the
Coordinating Committee's recommended amount for 2005.
Shorewood's Current Proposed Bud2et: Under the Coordinating Committee's proposed budget,
Shorewood's 2005 contribution would be approximately $690,000. With the assumption that
Excelsior would make no increase for the 2005 contribution, Shorewood's cost to continue 2004's
Level II service into 2005 - a 2.0 percent SLMPD budget increase - would be approximately
$698,000. Consequently, the Council agreed that $700,000 would be included in the City's 2005
proposed budget. Generally, while the Council hoped that all cities would honor the proposed
contributions, it did not want to pay for services added to 2004' s Level II.
To fully implement the overall 4.1 percent increase, the program preferred by the Coordinating
Committee, Shorewood's 2005 contribution would need to be approximately $718,000 ($717,861, to
be exact). In terms of the resources available to the Department, this additional funding would
provide partial restoration of a part-time administrative support position and restore some funding to
the vehicle replacement schedule.
At this time, the cities of Greenwood and Tonka Bay have included this higher - 4.1 percent SLMPD
increase -amount in their respective proposed budgets. In essence, these cities and Shorewood
would be funding the additional monies to expand (some would say, restore) the service in 2005,
rather than continuing the same Level II service they paid for in 2004.

$717,861
The difference in the continuation of Level II in 2005 and the expanded Level II is Shorewood's pro-
ration of the $26,600 shortfall in the amount authorized by the Excelsior City Council.
Coordinatin!! Committee Activitv: At its September 16 meeting, the CoordinatIng Committee
authorized continuation of membership in the Southwest Drug Task Force. The Coordinating
Committee stated that the $8,400 dues, which in 2004 were paid by a one-time donation ofthe Crime
Prevention Fund and were not included in costs for Level I or Level II services, would be included in .
both Level I and TI services in 2005.
At its meeting on November 30, the Coordinating Committee will identify what services will be
provided under Level I and Level II. These definitions of service will be important as the member
city councils set their official budgets in December.
The Coordinating Committee will also receive and consider a proposal by the Operating Committee
(i.e., the city manager/administrators) on a process to address the issues among the cities regarding
the SLMPD.
Clarification/Direction: The cities of Shorewood, Greenwood, and Tonka Bay agreed to arrange for
additional services from SLMPD with the funds they had authorized to fulfill the Coordinating
Committee's recommended 2004 budget. Presumably, the 2005 Level II service would also be
identified on what these three cities would contribute to SLMPD. The circumstances appear to be .
different, however, as Shorewood is currently planning a continued Level II service ("the 2.0 percent
increase"), and Greenwood and Tonka Bay are planning an expanded Level TI service ("the 4.1
percent increase").
The Shorewood City Council could choose to fund the expanded Level II service (Level II~?) when
finally adopting the City's 2005 budget. Most likely, it would require a reduction in the transfers to
capital funds currently proposed for 2005, or a use of funds in the balance of the General Fund.
As the Coordinating Committee will be setting its service offerings on November 30, it will be
helpful to Shorewood's representative and the whole Committee to know what to expect
Shorewood's contribution will be in 2005. While there will be a Level I, there will likely be
confusion regarding what can be in Level II, or whether there will also be a Level TIe.

RE: Timber Lane Watermain Improvement Project
Declaration of Adequacy of Petition
The City of Shorwood has previously prepared a feasibility study for the extension of city water along
Timber Lane, from the intersection of County Road 19 and Timber Lane, to the cul-de-sac. This was
based upon a petition from a portion of the residents who own property adjacent to Timber Lane.
Attachment 1 is.a site location map for the project.
An open house meeting was conducted on July 21,2004, atthe Shorewood City Hall, to receive
comments and attempt to obtain consensus regarding the installation of the watermain. Attendance at
the meeting was low, and feedback received was minimal.
.
Therefore, Staff mailed each of the 9 affected property owners a formal petition form for local
improvement and stated that the petition forms had to be returned to the City by October 29th, 2004 for
the City to move forward with the project. The City is in receipt of 7 petition forms requesting the

(3) Sixty-seven Percent Petition. By a petition signed by the owners of not less than
sixty-seven percent (67%) of the lots or parcels abutting on the streets named as the location of
the improvement. Upon receipt of a petition of 67% of such owners, the City Council must
determine that it has been signed by 67% of such owners. After making this determination, a
feasibility report shall be undertaken and a public hearing shall be scheduled to consider the
project. If an improvement is ordered, benefiting properties shall be assessed pursuant to the
procedures set forth in Minnesota Statutes 429;
Based upon the requirements of both the statutory and City Ordinance, the petitions received are
adequate to move forward with the preparation of plans, specifications, and engineers estimate. Once
plans have been prepared, a public hearing will be scheduled for the improvement.
Feedback received from a few of the residents along Timber Lane indicate that it would be best to hold
off on conducting the public hearing until the spring of2005, as a portion of the residents have headed ..
south for the winter season.
Recommendation:
Staff is recommending approval of the resolution that declares the Adequacy of Petition for the Timber
Lane Watermain Project. A resolution is attached for your consideration.

429.031 Preliminary plans, hearings.
Subdivision 1. Preparation of plans, notice of hearing.
(a) Before the municipality awards a contract for an improvement or orders it made by day labor, or before
the municipality may assess any portion of the cost of an improvement to be made under a cooperative
agreement with the state or another political subdivision for sharing the cost of making the improvement,
the council shall hold a public hearing on the proposed improvement following two publications in the
newspaper of a notice stating the time and place of the hearing, the general nature of the improvement, the
estimated cost, and the area proposed to be assessed. The two publications must be a week apart, and the
hearing must be at least three days after the second publication. Not less than ten days before the hearing,
notice of the hearing must also be mailed to the owner of each parcel within the area proposed to be
assessed and must contain a statement that a reasonable estimate of the impact of the assessment will be
available at the hearing, but failure to give mailed notice or any defects in the notice does not invalidate the
proceedings. For the purpose of giving mailed notice, owners are those shown as owners on the records of
the county auditor or, in any county where tax statements are mailed by the county treasurer, on the records
of the county treasurer; but other appropriate records may be used for this purpose. For properties that are
tax exempt or subject to taxation on a gross earnings basis and are not listed on the records of the county
auditor or the county treasurer, the owners may be ascertained by any practicable means, and mailed notice.
must be given them as provided in this subdivision.
(b) Before the adoption of a resolution ordering the improvement, the council shall secure from the city
engineer or some other competent person of its selection a report advising it in a preliminary way as to
whether the proposed improvement is necessary, cost-effective, and feasible and as to whether it should
best be made as proposed or in connection with some other improvement. The report must also include the
estimated cost of the improvement as recommended. A reasonable estimate of the total amount to be
assessed, and a description of the methodology used to calculate individual assessments for affected
parcels, must be available at the hearing. No error or omission in the report invalidates the proceeding
unless it materially prejudices the interests of an owner.
(c) If the report is not prepared by an employee of a municipality, the compensation for preparing the
report under this subdivision must be based on the following factors:
(1) the time and labor required;
.
(2) the experience and knowledge of the preparer;
(3) the complexity and novelty of the problems involved; and
(4) the extent of the responsibilities assumed.
(d) The compensation must not be based primarily on a percentage of the estimated cost of the
improvement.
Attachment 3
(e) The council may also take other steps prior to the hearing, including, among other things, the
preparation of plans and specifications and the advertisement for bids that will in its judgment provide
helpful information in determining the desirability and feasibility of the improvement.
(t) The hearing may be adjourned from time to time, and a resolution ordering the improvement may be
adopted at any time within six months after the date of the hearing by vote of a majority of all members of
the council when the improvement has been petitioned for by the owners of not less than 35 percent in
frontage of the real property abutting on the streets named in the petition as the location of the improvement.
When there has been no such petition, the resolution may be adopted only by vote of four-fifths of all
members of the council; provided that if the mayor of the municipality is a member of the council but has no
vote or votes only in case of a tie, the mayor is not deemed to be a member for the purpose of determining a
four-fifths majority vote.
(g) The resolution ordering the improvement may reduce, but not increase, the extent of the improvement
as stated in the notice of hearing.

WATER IMPROVEMENT PROCESS
Subd. 1. Scope and Purpose: The purpose of this subsection is to supplement the requirements of State
law, to provide for the methods to initiate a water improvement, and to authorize the formulation of
policies relating to allocating the costs for such public improvements.
Subd. 2. Special Assessment Procedure:
a. Initiating the Improvement: Improvement proceedings may be initiated in anyone (1) of the
following four (4) ways:
(1) One Hundred Percent Petition. By a petition signed by one hundred percent (100%) of
the owners of real property abutting any street named as the location of the improvement. Upon
receipt of a petition of 100% of the abutting property owners, the City Council must determine that it
has been signed by 100% of the owners of the affected property. After making this determination, a
feasibility report shall be undertaken and the project may be ordered without a public hearing,
pursuant to the procedures set forth in Minnesota Statutes 429; or
.
(2) Thirty-five Percent Petition. By a petition signed by the owners of not less than
thirty-five percent (35%) of the frontage of the real property abutting on the streets named as the
location of the improvement, when said property owners are willing to pay the entire cost of the
improvement. Upon receipt of a petition of 35% of the owners of abutting frontage, the City Council
must determine that it has been signed by 35% of such owners. After making this determination, a
feasibility report shall be undertaken and a public hearing shall be scheduled to consider the project,
pursuant to the procedures set forth in Minnesota Statutes 429; or
.
(3) Sixty-seven Percent Petition. By a petition signed by the owners of not less than sixty-
seven percent (67%) of the lots or parcels abutting on the streets named as the location of the
improvement. Upon receipt of a petition of 67% of such owners, the City Council must determine
that it has been signed by 67% of such owners. After making this determination, a feasibility report
shall be undertaken and a public hearing shall be scheduled to consider the project. If an
improvement is ordered, benefiting properties shall be assessed pursuant to the procedures set forth in
Minnesota Statutes 429; or
(4) By the initiative of the City Council. If the City Council determines to order an
improvement, a feasibility report, as set forth in c. below, shall be undertaken and a public hearing
shall be scheduled to consider the project. A simple majority vote of the City Council is needed to
start the proceedings. If an improvement is ordered, benefiting properties shall be assessed pursuant
to the procedures set forth in Minnesota Statutes 429
b. Petitions. Not later than the time a petition is considered for acceptance by the City Council
pursuant to a.(1)-(3) above, the petitioners shall have executed and delivered to the City an
agreement whereby the petitioners agree to pay the cost of the improvement as defined in the
agreement and agree not to contest or challenge either the assessment process or the amount to be
assessed. The petition shall include an agreement that the cost of preparing the feasibility report
shall be paid by the petitioners in the event the improvement is determined not to be feasible.
Failure to pay for the feasibility report shall result in the costs being assessed against the properties
of the petitioners.
ATTACHMENT 11
c. Preparing the Feasibility Study: An improvement project which is initiated by action of the City
Council or by a 35% or 67% petition, as set forth in a.(2) and (3) above, may be ordered only after a
public hearing. Prior to adopting a resolution calling a public hearing on an improvement, the
Council must secure from the City Engineer a report advising it in a preliminary way as to:
(1) Whether the proposed improvement is feasible;
(2) Whether the proposed improvement is consistent with Capital Improvement Planning;
(3) Whether the improvement should be made as proposed or in connection with some other
improvement;
(4) The estimated cost of the improvement;
(5) A proposed project schedule; and
(6) Any other information thought pertinent and necessary for complete Council
consideration.
c. Holding a Public Hearing on the Improvement: Improvement projects which are initiated by a
100% petition may be ordered by the City Council without a public hearing if the City Council
determines the project may be undertaken without unreasonable changes to the Capital
Improvements Program or the- petitioning property owners agree to pay 100% of the cost of the
improvements. In the case ofa Council-initiated project or petition of less than 100% of abutting
property owners, the Council must adopt a resolution calling a public hearing on the improvement
project for which mailed and published notices of the hearing must be given. the notice of public
hearing must include the following information:
.
(1) The time and place of hearing;
(2) The general nature of the improvements;
(3) The estimated cost; and .
(4) The area proposed to be assessed.
Not less than ten (10) days before the hearing the notice of hearing must be mailed to the owner of
each parcel in the area proposed to be assessed. The notice of public hearing must be published in
the City's legal newspaper at least twice, each publication being at least one week apart, with the last
publication at least three (3) days prior to the hearing.
At the public hearing, the contents of the feasibility study will be presented and discussed with the
intent of giving all interested parties an opportunity to be heard and their views expressed.
Following a public hearing a resolution ordering the improvement may be adopted at any time
within six (6) months after the date of the hearing by a four-fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council,
unless the project was initiated by a 35% petition or a 67% petition in which event it may be adopted
by a majority vote. At this time a special assessment is considered to be "pending" for all assessable
properties in the improvement area.
