A. Shorewood Ponds Development
Mayor Love delayed the hearing until 7:30 P.M. anticipating the arrival of the Shorewood Ponds
Development Representative.
7. PARKS
Engineer Brown reported that there would be a Park Commission Park Tour followed by a
Regular meeting on June 12. On the Regular Meeting Agenda, there will be discussion over the
non-payment of some sports organization user fees. Mayor Love questioned how these issues
would be handled. Brown indicated that most sports organizations are up-to-date, however, one
in question has a roster shortage and will be followed up with.
Brown also shared with the Council the resignation of Park Commissioner Berndt.
4B. PRESENTATIONS. Report From Jeff Foust, City Representative to LMCC
.
Representative Foust provided the Council with an update from the Cable Commission, as well
as, welcomed comments on utilizing some of the technology embedded within the cable system.
He reported that the rebuild of the Shorewood cable system is complete. It will provide better
quality via fiber optics to every neighborhood.
Foust went on to explain that Lake Minnetonka Community Cable has requested the ability to
broadcast their Council Meetings live using one of the community channels provided by
MediaCom as set forth in the franchise agreement. He then asked for input from the Council on
their going live as well. Council Member Lizee asked what requirements or special equipment
would be needed to do so. Foust indicated that while there is no money in the LMCC budget to
allocate for this, the cable company must supply three to four channels to the community for such
efforts.
With no objection, Mayor Love asked Foust to proceed by putting together a feasibility report and
present the costs to the Council next month.
.
Foust also reported upon the availability of an I-Net service for the City as provided by
MediaCom within the franchise agreement. While not a free service to government, it can provide
a way to connect public buildings using MediaCom cable lines.
Zerby inquired about the opportunity to fill in content on the public community channel between
live Council Meetings rather than only broadcasting billboards. He wondered if this wouldn't be
a good way to broadcast public service announcements and rebroadcast taped community events.
Foust believed this could be programmed but more research would need to be done.
4A. Presentation of A ward to Former Planning Commissioners for their Service on the
Planning Commission
Mayor Love recognized three past Planning Commissioners for their service and commitment to
the Community. With an eye to the future, these members and staff have met every week to

ensure that an orderly process in which citizens can be heard, applicants can voice their desires,
and a reasoned recommendation can be made is followed.
Mayor Love recognized Kirk Rosenberger, Tom Skramstad, and Paula Callies, thanking them for
their hard work and dedication to the community they served.
Tom Skramstad addressed the Council stating that he appreciated the unexpected recognition and
that it was a pleasure, as well as a learning experience, to serve the community.
Kirk Rosenberger thanked the City and said that he takes with him many fond memories from his
time there. He shared a number of things he learned. First, if there is a piece of bare ground it
will likely be developed sooner or later; second, as a Commissioner you must balance the
neighborhood concerns with the developers concerns; and finally, that variances truly do not fit
within ordinances.
6. HEARINGS
.
A. Shorewood Ponds Development
Mayor Love began the Hearing at 7:30 P.M. without a representative present.
Engineer Brown stated that a letter had been sent out by certified mail to the developer, Bill
Gleason of Sylvia Development, listing the items in default. It included ten items that were in
specific violation of the original development agreement executed between the City of
Shorewood and Sylvia Development on June 28, 1999.
While not a public hearing, the notice given to the Developer provided them until May 31, 2001
to correct the items found in violation. As not all of the items were corrected, the Council hearing
was scheduled for this evening, June 11,2001.
Brown reported that staff is in the process of drawing upon a letter of credit with Wells Fargo,
the holder in San Francisco, California. Staff has also met with several contractors to obtain bids
for completing the items that stand in default.
.
Engineer Brown maintained that it is staff's recommendation that any further issuance of permits
or inspections cease on the project as further motivation to correct the situation. He had. no
specific recommendation in regard to the proposed $1,000 per violation monetary penalty at this
time.
Brown pointed out six specific items that still remain in violation to the agreement. The six items
areas follows, although some effort has been made by the developer to install silt fencing.
1. General site condition
2. Erosion Control Measures
3. Storm sewer capacity has been compromised
4. Washing of Berm and stabilization
5. Sedimentation on the Roadways
6. Pond side-slopes

!.
With no representation from Sylvia Development present, Mayor Love asked for Council
comment.
Council member Turgeon felt it was not unreasonable to hold up permits and inspections,
especially in light of no representation on behalf of the developer.
Mayor Love questioned what the $1,000 penalty per infraction would accomplish. Brown
reasoned that drawing upon the letter of credit would motivate the developer and builder to
comply due to the costliness to them and their note holder. Brown shared that the dollars held in
account by the letter of credit are 1.5 times the original project cost and represent a substantial
cost to the developer.
At 7:35 P.M. Bill Gleason arrived as the representative for Eagle Crest Homes and Sylvia
Development.
Mr. Gleason shared that after walking the development with Engineer Brown and reviewing the
letter he received, he believed that they had complied with the items at that time. Gleason
maintained that some of the issues addressed in the letter which include the ponding, knocking
down the weeds and regrading, and sodding have just not been possible with the inclement
weather conditions so far. He believed that the silt fencing and tree protection was now up and
felt uncertain what more could be done.
.
While Mayor Love was sympathetic to the weather problems encountered this spring, he
reiterated that these conditions are the precise reason why such strong erosion controls are
stipulated, to prevent the types of problems they are currently facing. With this in mind, he added
that the condition of the site poses concerns to both he and the neighbors who have contacted
him.
Engineer Brown reported that the most serious infraction involves the ditching along the west
side of the property which has not been done yet. Residents have pointed out to the City that
some of the heavy rains that fell this spring have not been handled by the storm sewer system and
have flowed towards their neighborhoods and allegedly caused some issues with their structures.
Brown stated that the most serious issue is to get the storm sewer system running the way it
should, including control over erosion into the sedimentation basin, making sure the side slopes
are stabilized, and checking that erosion control fencing is properly anchored. Brown maintained
that clearly there are problems communicating these issues between the two groups involved, the
builders/contractors and developer. While Brown admitted he noticed that attempts had been
made to control erosion, the very next day the builder came back in and tracked mud into the
street, knocked down silt fencing, supplied no gravel entrances, moved dumpsters where they
don't belong, and the site is back in a state of disrepair within days. Brown supplied
documentation that this has been an ongoing problem and that he has continually been after the
developer to clean up the site and control erosion.
.
Bill Gleason pointed out that he has walked the site with Engineer Brown and corrected the catch
basin and silt fencing issues. He added that they have ordered the ditching to be done but it has
not yet been completed, and he will speak to his engineering department about this. He
maintained that today was the first day he has had a team at the site to grade the properties where
foundations have been laid due to inclement weather. Until the ground dries out, he continued,
little can be done physically to get people in there to finish the jobs Engineer Brown has
identified on the list. He questioned what more could be done and insisted that no matter who the
CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES
JUNE 11,2001
Page 5 of 12
City hired to finish the jobs, they too, would not physically be able to do so until the area dries
up. They have been fighting the battle all spring of keeping the street clean, the bales up and
keeping stuff from eroding. He was at a loss and asked what the City would do differently than
he has already done to complete these items.
Brown pointed out that during the walk with Mr. Gleason, they werein the midst of a week of dry
weather and there was an opportunity to correct some of the major problems he had identified,
including the ditching. Mr. Gleason pointed out that this was a fairly new issue to him that he
had only learned about during his walk with Engineer Brown. There are two agencies, Eagle
Crest Homes and Sylvia Development, involved with the project and Westwood Engineering who
works for the developer did not relay this issue to him.
Garfunkel questioned how these agencies are connected and whom Gleason represents. Gleason
maintained that while he works for Eagle Crest Homes, he is also representing Sylvia
Development. He felt even with this distinction, th,ey have done what they can so far to meet the
demands of the City.
.
Mayor Love, while noting the unusual spring, upheld the belief that the conditions that are on the
site and the issues that have brought concern to our citizens, staff and council people have been
out there on the table for at least a month or longer. With that being said, Mayor Love stated that
the current conditions are not good for the neighbors or the environment, and that the site is
unsightly. He continued that, frankly, the City has not seen responsiveness on behalf of
representatives of the development. It seems the confusion between the various agencies does not
answer the concerns the City and its citizens have brought forward.
Council member Turgeon observed that the construction crew is not playing by the rules. She
believed more patrolling of the site needs to be done and asked what control Mr. Gleason has
over the crew. Gleason pointed out that the construction crew is made up of a variety of
subcontractors who are almost out of their control. He added that after. they leave, his team
cleans up the site, including their own street sweeper, but there is a time frame required to
accomplish this task. Gleason stated that while the City is free to take the letter of credit out, it is
not going to really change anything. He believed that the conditions they're facing have to
change first, although he can try to do a better job cleaning the streets.
.
Zerby inquired as to whom is present on site to keep the contractors in line. Gleason said there is
a job Supervisor who comes out daily, in the mornings usually, and then there is his clean up
team and street sweeper who finish up the day. Gleason shared with the Council that some
subcontractors are better than others and respect the efforts taken on site to control various
conditions.
Mayor Love asked the Council what a~tion they would like to take at this time. Brown pointed
out that at the last City Council meeting they drew upon the letter of credit and scheduled this
hearing to determine what, if any, further action would be taken, i.e. impose monetary penalties
of not more than $1,000 per infraction, order stop work orders on all construction for which
building permits have been issued and withhold issuance of additional building permits, and take
any other action to enforce any other remedy available.
Planning Director Nielsen pointed out that additional permits could be delayed. Gleason stated
that they are currently behind on the project as it stands and even that delay would not make
much difference. Turgeon expressed her concern over getting a subcontractor to do the work any
CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES
JUNE 11, 2001
Page 6 of 12
sooner, seeing how many of them are backed up already with the weather and work. She did add,
however, that she was extremely disappointed in the site and that the City's expectations were
much higher. She then suggested giving the development company the opportunity to continue in
good faith granting them an additional ten to fourteen days to comply with the notice.
Turgeon moved, Zerby seconded with discussion, to give Shorewood Ponds an additional
two weeks to meet staffs request that the storm sewer system be cleaned, and the ditching be
done to meet capacity and specifications. During that period of time, staff will look for a
subcontractor to be hired by the City if these items are not corrected at the end of the two-
week period.
Attorney Keane pointed out that the City Council meets in two weeks, and that the letter of credit
can be pulled without using the money in order to hold the development company accountable.
In the meantime, the City can articulate the performance they expect in the next two weeks and
look for a subcontractor to do the work if need be. Keane noted that the direction to the
developer is clear at this point and at the next meeting if they haven't performed up to
Engineering standards, the City can exercise their conditions as put forth levying fines,
withholding permits, etc. No further hearings or notices would be necessary.
Gleason requested an opportunity to meet with staff once again, and throughout the process, to
clarify any outstanding concerns. He still voiced his concern over weather related items such as
the topsoil, seeding/sodding, grading, and tree protection. All things that he felt could not be done
until the weather improved. He again stated that he felt his agencies were progressing the right
way and he will do his best to get the rest of the work done within the next two weeks.
.
Mayor Lave suggested inviting a representative from the MCWD to accompany staff and Sylvia
Development on the next walk through of the site. He then underscored that the problems
encountered with Shorewood Ponds are not simply caused by a wet spring, but that accountability
has not been present for long period of time.
Motion passed 3/2, with Garfunkel and Mayor Love dissenting.
8. PLANNING
Commissioner Gagne reported that the Planning Commission met twice last week, during the first
of which they discussed the application for Cub Foods. After a 5-1/2 hour public meeting the
application was turned down unanimously 7/0. Mayor Love added that it was not so much the
Cub Foods proposal that was turned down as it was the size of the site the proposed tenant was
presenting. He reminded citizens that there will be a grocery store development at that site
sooner or later.
.
Gagne went on to report that items B, C, D, and E of this evening's Agenda were also all
approved 7/0.
Gagne presented one other matter the Planning Commission would like the City Council to
consider, that is the possibility of allowing staff to look into solutions for correcting Lake Linden
Drive. Many neighbors have voiced their concern over the street as it is and would like to hear
about the possibility of connecting it. Mayor Love asked Engineer Brown to look into this subject
further and report back.
CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES
JUNE 11, 2001
Page 7 of 12
A. A Motion to Direct Staff to Prepare a Resolution Regarding an Appeal to
the Zoning Administrator's Interpretation of the Zoning Code
Appellant: James Russell
Location: 26080 Birch Bluff Road
Director Nielsen provided background, adding that the appeal was to have been voted on two
months ago but since it required a 4/5 vote, this is the first meeting in which that was possible.
Mayor Love invited James Russell to provide the City Council a brief report regarding his appeal.
Mr. James Russell, 26080 Birch Bluff Road, explained that the stakes to him are a 39 square foot
side yard encroachment. He gave examples to support his claim th.at letters band j of the
Ordinance are in direct conflict with one another. Mr. Russell insisted that it is unclear whether
the drafters of the Ordinance could be using the same reasoning for nonconforming uses as they
do for structures.
.
Lizee pointed out to the Council that the single issue before the Council this evening is to decide
whether Mr. Russell needs to apply for a variance or not. After initially applying for and
withdrawing his application for a variance last winter Mr. Russell is appealing the need for it.
Lizee moved, Turgeon seconded, forwarding this to a variance process and replacing the
findings of fact label "cabin" to "summer house".
Mayor Love inquired whether the word change was necessary and saw no legal distinction to do
so, finally, asking Lizee to modify her request.
Zerby supported the variance process and indicated he would like to see a variance request in this
case. He maintained that he believed the intent of the drafters in 1986 was not to let the cabin fall
to the ground.
Garfunkel asserted that he viewed this request as a "reasonable repair" and not a "significant
structural alteration". With this in mind, he saw this as not an out of the ordinary request to repair
his building from collapsing.
.
Turgeon pointed out that this is a "nonconforming structure" and that the City and Planning
Commission have required other unique nonconforming structures to follow a variance request
procedure as well.
Lizee moved, Turgeon seconded, denying the appeal to the Zoning Administrator's
Interpretation of the Zoning Code asking Mr. Russell to follow through on the variance
request. Motion passed 4/1, with Garfunkel dissenting.
B. A Motion to Adopt a Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Permit for
Accessory Space over 1200 sq. ft.
Applicant: Brian Zeglen
Location: 5960 Mton Road
Director Nielsen provided background on this matter, noting that the applicant wished to
construct a detached garage, which when combined with existing accessory space will bring the
property to approximately 1328 square feet; thus, a request for a Conditional Use Permit became
CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES
JUNE 11, 2001
Page 8 of 12
necessary. He also reviewed the four criteria to be met in order to grant this type of permit.
He recommended the CUP be granted subject to several criteria, including the proposed garage be
used strictly for residential use only, a landscape plan be submitted and approved, and the
existing overhead garage door be replaced by a wall. Mr. Zeglen was available for questions.
Turgeon moved, Lizeeseconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 01-031, "A Resolution
Approving a Conditional Use Permit for Accessory Space over 1200 Square Feet for Brian
Zeglen, 5960 Afton Road". Motion passed 5/0.
C. A Motion to Adopt a Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Permit for
Accessory Space over 1200 sq. ft.
Xpplicant: Richard Penn
Location: 27825 Brynmawr Place
Once again, Director Nielsen provided background on this matter, pointing out that the applicant
is building an addition to his existing attached garage, which when combined with his accessory
space brings his total on the property to approximately 1494 square feet; thus, a request for a
Conditional Use Permit became necessary. Nielsen noted that the applicant's lot contains
approximately 55,347 square feet of area, and that the total area of accessory space will not
exceed 10% of the minimum lot area for the R I-A Zoning District.
.
Nielsen recommended approval for the Conditional Use Permit noting that a lower level entrance
request reflected in the slide that was shown was withdrawn. The approval would also be subject
to a landscape plan.
Zerby moved, Turgeon seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 01-032, "A Resolution
Approving a Conditional Use Permit for Accessory Space over 1200 Square Feet for
Richard Penn, 27825 Brynmawr Place." Motion passed 5/0.
D. A Motion to Adopt a Resolution Approving a Revised Conditional Use
Permit for Church Storage Building.
Applicant: Minnewashta Church
Location: 26710 West 62nd Street
.
Director Nielsen provided history that the applicant had been granted a Conditional Use Permit
several years ago to construct a new church and two-stall storage garage on the site. They are
requesting to build a three-stall storage building on the same spot that would house the trash
facilities.
Nielsen noted that staff recommends approval of the Permit providing the Applicant legally
combines the two parcels on which the Church is currently located and the trash facilities are
located within a masonry enclosure on a concrete pad.
Lizee moved, Zerby seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 01-033, "A Resolution
Approving a Revised Conditional Use Permit for Church Storage Building for
Minnewashta Church, 26710 West 62nd Street". Motion passed 5/0.

E. A Motion to Adopt a Resolution Approving a Revised Conditional Use
Permit for the Kuempel Chime Clock Property
Applicant: Mary jean McGregor
Location: 21193 Minnetonka Boulevard
Director Nielsen explained that the Applicant proposes to lease space within the existing building
for an office and instructional video studio, requiring a modification of previous Conditional Use
Permits.
Turgeon moved, Garfunkel seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 01-034, "A Resolution
Approving a Revised Conditional Use Permit for the Kuempel Chime Clock Property for
Mary Jean McGregor, 21193 Minnetonka Blvd. Motion passed 5/0.
F. Motion to Adopt a Resolution Approving a Final Plat and Authorizing the
Mayor and City Administrator to Enter Into a Development Agreement
.
Director Nielsen explained that a Final Plat has been submitted by Smithtown Woods. He noted
omitted language giving the developer a credit back for over sizing the water main that runs
through the property needs to be added. Hie recommendation is to approve the final plat.
Zerby moved, Turgeon seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 01-035, "A Resolution
Approving a Final Plat and Authorizing the Mayor and City Administrator to Enter Into a
Development Agreement with Smithtown Woods." Motion passed 5/0.
G. Report on Dugouts/Bench Shelters at Freeman Park
Mayor Love reported that he met with representatives of South Tanka Little League regarding the
request for an extension until August 10th to make the dugouts at Freeman Park comply with the
requirements. The original deadline for reconstruction was June 11, 2001 before the extension
request.
.
Brian Tichy, of South Tonka Little League, explained that the existing dugouts are not complete
and merely a temporary fix, requiring additional time to complete. He stated that organizing the
necessary volunteers required to finish the dugouts has proven difficult, and he would like to
continue using them as they are, finishing the season by extending the permit.
Although Mayor Love appreciated the need for more time, he shared a memorandum he received
from Joe Pazandak that day pointing out safety concerns over the existing dugout structures. Due
to the possibility of high winds lifting the roofs off and posing potential safety issues, Mayor
Love could not support the extension. He was saddened to see the report, in light of all that South
Tonka has worked to accomplish, and encouraged them to keep the lines of communication open
and schedule a meeting between the City, South Tonka Little League, Parks, staff, and himself
soon.
Tichy voiced his disappointment over the lack of support they feel the City has provided them. In
view of the investment that South Tonka Little League has put into the City Park they feel there is
little appreciation, communication or support.

9. GENERAL
A. Final Report on the Community Visioning Project - Bruce Chamberl~n,
Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc.
Craig Dawson introduced Bruce Chamberlain, Vice-President of Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc.
(HKGi) to present a final report on the scoping phase for Shorewood's Community Visioning
Process. Dawson indicated the report would encompass the Outreach Plan, Work Plan, project
schedule, and fee proposals.
In his presentation, Mr. Chamberlain summarized the Outreach Plan consisting of the Community
Involvement Strategy and the Communication Strategy. Along with the Community involvement
strategy. the Communication strategy will include brochures and a photo analysis of the
Community through the resident's eyes. The Lawless Institute will handle the Communication
Strategy.
Chamberlain estimated the costs for the overall project would run $42,000-43,000, plus printing
and distribution costs which can run about $10,000. While he was aware that the budget goal was
around $35,000-40,000, he believed some economizing could be done by printing in house, using
city staff, and cutting down on scale.
.
Mayor Love inquired as to how bringing in additional Lakes communities would impact the
costs. By combining the effort into a joint community visioning process. Chamberlain indicated
that the costs would not be greatly affected. More people would be used for the sample size and
costs would increase slightly for printing and distribution, but the overall visioning 'process
however, would not be greatly altered.
Garfunkel asked how the sample demos were chosen. Peggy Lawless, of the Lawless Institute,
indicated that via a stratified random sampling they would choose 20 some residents from
specific demos, along with a few businesses and organizations. Garfunkel emphasized the
importance of not steering the results. He felt it was important for the City to be sensitive to this
and merely supply a list of existing businesses and groups to HKGi to choose from.
Mayor Love suggested presenting the visioning process to the area Chambers of Commerce to
excite their interest early on and encourage their potential participation. Chamberlain agreed that
it would be a stronger scenario to involve more communities. Zerby volunteered to assist in the
presentation to the other City's, similar to those in which they gave while soliciting support for
the Skate Park.
.
Chamberlain asked for a timeline. Mayor Love suggested he hold off on further initiatives until
the City could immediately move forward sharing the visioning process with other communities.
They would hope to move forward by early fall.

Other than a few minor changes to the contract, there was one exception Dawson referred to: the
proposed agreement would be in effect for three years (2001 through 2003) rather than for only
2001. The agreement would also automatically renew for another three years, unless a one-year
notice was given to cancel it.
Zerby moved, Turgeon seconded, recommending approval of the Fire Services Agreement
with the City of Mound. Motion passed 5/0.
10. ENGINEERINGIPUBLIC WORKS
Engineer Brown reported that barricades have gone up at Freeman Park. Turgeon expressed her
concern that the barricades have made it impossible for emergency vehicles to get through. She
asked what other possibilities exist, for instance, gates etc. Zerby .noted that the current park
entrance points to the South entrance and that there are no proper markings leading people
through the senior center.
Nielsen suggested staff contact the police and fire departments about having a lock box installed
at a gated entrance for emergency use.

accomplishing the huge burden of installing the equipment.

Brown indicated that the sod is down and that they await the completion of final details. He
added that the vending machines are on site.

Re:
Authorization To Hire Liquor Assistant Managers
The Liquor Committee reviewed a request at its May 29,2001 meeting fn;>m Liquor Manager
Don Swandby to hire two (2) new Assistant Managers. The attached memo from Don to the
Liquor Committee discusses the shortage of good part-time employees for the liquor stores.
Employee turnover has become critical. Don's plan is to create two new full-time Assistant
Manager positions that would be "floating" or "roaming" positions. That is to say, they would
fill inwhere needed and would be available to assist with opening and' closing of the stores, in
addition to other duties. The pay range for these positions would be $28,138 - $31,784,
depending on qualifications.
.
The Liquor Committee agrees with Don's request and recommends the City Council authorize
advertising for these positions. After suitable candidates have been located, final authorization
to hire would be requested from the City Council.
Please advise if you have questions or if we can be of further assistance.

RE:
Hiring of New Assistant Managers
.
As we have discussed at previous Liquor Committee meetings I believe that the
addition of two new assistant managers would greatly benefit the operation. Also
at past meetings I had expressed postponing this action until the status of the'
Tonka Bay Store was clearer. It now appears that we wiU continue doing
business with Tonka Bay and I feel now is the time to hire. Two more full time
management personnel would assure us of covering all thirty-six opening and
closing shifts, with the exception of three shifts, with management. Also recently,
the already distressed part-time marketplace has worsened~ Within the last
month or so we have lost eleven of twenty-one part time employees for various
reasons, seven of which at ,~east on oCC9sion were key holders. There obviously
would be an increased full-time payroll: however, we would probably reduce the
part-time payroll by half. And of course, full-time employees would service our .
customers in a more positive way. Also considering our 2000 net operating profit
and 2001 's first quarter profits, financially we can afford it. I believe the time is
now.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION DENYING AN APPEAL BY JAMES RUSSELL
REGARDING AN INTERPRETAION OF THE ZONING CODE
WHEREAS, James Russell (Appellant) is the owner of real property located at 26080
Birch Bluff Road, in the City of Shorewood, County of Hennepin, legally described as:
"The east half of Lot 22, Birch Bluff Upper Lake Minnetonka, Hennepin County,
Minnesota"; and
WHEREAS, the Appellant desires to repair the damaged roof and replace the
foundation on the existing dwelling located on the property; and
.
WHEREAS, the Zoning Administrator for the City of Shorewood advised the
Appellant that he would need to obtain a setback variance in order to replace the existing
foundation on the dwelling; and
WHEREAS, the Appellant filed an application appealing the Zoning Administrator's
interpretation of the Shorewood Zoning Code, which determined that a variance was
necessary; and
WHEREAS, the Appellant's application was reviewed by the Zoning Administrator
and his recommendations have been set forth in a memorandum to the Planning Commission,
Mayor and City Council, dated 1 March 2001; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held and the Appellant's application for an appeal
was reviewed by the Planning Commission on 6 March 2001, the minutes of which meeting
are on file at City Hall; and
.
WHEREAS, the Appellant's request was considered by the City Council at their
regular meeting on 11 June 2001, at which time the Zoning Administrator's memorandum and
the minutes of the Planning Commission were reviewed and comments were heard by the
Council from the City staff.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Shorewood as follows:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The Appellant's property is located in an R-IC/S, Single-Family
Residential/Shoreland zoning district which requires a 35-foot front yard setback, a 35-foot
setback on the side yard abutting the Third Street right-of-way, a 10-foot side yard setback on
the east side of the lot and a 50-foot setback from the ordinary high water level of Lake
Minnetonka.
It 8c"
2. The Appellant's existing dwelling encroaches into the 35-foot setback from the
Third Street right-of-way, constituting a nonconforming structure in the R-IC/S zoning
district.
3. The Appellant proposes to raise the existing dwelling from its current
foundation and replace the old foundation with a new one.
4. The Shorewood Zoning Code imposes restrictions on the enlargement,
extension, or structural alteration.of nonconforming structures.
CONCLUSION
1. The City Council has determined that the replacement of the existing
foundation constitutes a structural alteration.
2. The City Council concurs with the interpretation of the Zoning Administrator
and that the Appellant must obtain a variance in order to replace the existing foundation.
3.
The Appellant's appeal is hereby denied.
.
ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Shorewood this 25th day of

the City can work together to improve the park.
Zerby continued that there was agreement among the Council to close the access to Freeman Park and
barricades were installed. They are investigating other alternatives including the installation of a chain,
fence, or gate at that location. Contact will be made with emergency services and the police department
to get their feedback on the gate or barricade system. No action was taken.

B. Report on Land Conservation Environment Committee
Brown had nothing to report and informed the Commission of Commissioner Berndt's resignation.
Brown did, however, relay the concerns voiced by the City Council and neighbors over Lake Linden
Drive. He said that staff will be checking into the possibility of trails, with other improvements, which
will involve the Park Commission.
C. Report on Park Foundation Meeting of May 23, 2001
Dallman reported that the Foundation discussed two potential fundraising opportunities; donor bricks
.
around Eddy Station and either a Silent Auction or Raffle. They will be meeting once again next week to
further discuss these ideas.
D. Report on Closure of Reutiman Lane
Brown provided history as to why the closure was needed, and added that he has received quite an .
outpouring of opposition to its closure. Quite a volatile issue, a petition is circulating to open it back up.
He reminded the Commission that with the closure, users of fields one and two at Freeman are required to
use Park Drive thru theShorewood Ponds development.
Bix questioned the reception of Shorewood Ponds to this additional traffic. Brown noted that they realize
that the traffic associated with the closure is less than they would see if the road remained open. More
people would be using them as a cut through and speeding to do so.
Brown reported, as Zerby already had, that contact with emergency services will be made before further
action is taken.
E. Update on Eddy Station
Brown was pleased to report that the building has only minor touch ups left. The building has been
painted and sealed, the sod is in and grading is being finished. In fact, Brown pointed out, the contractor
himself was at the sight daily and off-hours to ensure the job was complete pending a strike by many .
trades people. Brown reported that the vending machines are in and the City should be seeing its first
statement in mid August. They are now merely awaiting the recycling bins.
F. Update on Skate Park Installation and Activities
Already having been addressed, Brown asked for any additional comments. Young asked for a time
frame for the no parking signage to arrive. Brown replied that once he's made contact with the neighbor
across the street, the No Parking signs will be posted within 5 days, however, the overflow parking sign
will need to be special ordered and may take several weeks. Brown added that these will all need to be
added to the City Council Consent Agenda during their next meeting in two weeks, so that would be a
better gauge for installation.

s. REPORT ON FINDINGSIEXPERIENCES WITH NO PARKING AND DOG FECES
FROM DEPUTY CHIEF NIELING
Chair Arnst reported that the pet policy brochure has been updated and the articles have appeared in the
Lakeshore Weekly. She asked the Commission if they still wanted the mailings to go out to pet owners and
was unsure whether the information made it into school envelopes.
Bix felt the mailing was useful and would promote the dog walking community to police itself. There was a
general consensus to send the pieces out. Brown also believed that the school inserts went home as well.
Chair Arnst then questioned whether the City Ordinance should be revised to require pet owners to carry
along baggies and mitts. Puzak noted, however, this would be difficult to enforce, especially if an owner
already used and disposed of their baggies.
.
Chair Arnst was pleased with the number of responses received to the articles and asked that staff
automatically send out a thank you letter to people who commented. In response to one such letter, Brown
insisted they do replenish the bag supply daily. Chair Arnst suggested placing a second can and dispenser on
the LRT.

7. SCHEDULE GRAND OPENING DATES FOR EDDY STATION AND SKATE PARK
A. Skate Park
Chair Arnst distributed a Skate Park Grand Opening draft proposal for comment. She pointed out that the
shuttle service was necessary due to the parking and traffic issues at the Skate Park. Upon Administrator
Dawson's suggestion, Arnst proposed two separate Grand Openings for the two parks.
Chair Arnst asked for feedback and a timeline for the proposal. Everyone liked the draft proposal and
preferred a weekend date in mid July contingent on the schedules of both Tim Hughes and Matt Pike.
Brown suggested the kids would really enjoy a rally and demonstration put on by Tim Hughes ~nd his skate
park friends. Young agreed, adding it would be nice to see the skate boarding cops, we heard word of during .
the park tours this evening, putting on a display and a presence.
Chair Arnst stated she would work with the Mayor, Craig Dawson, and staff to put this together
B. Eddy Station
Chair Arnst shared. Administrator Dawson's idea of holding an Ice Cream Social for the Eddy Station Grand
Opening and asked for Commission feedback. Everyone liked the idea of having Council and Commissioners
serving ice cream and mingling with the public.
Many Commissioners agreed that the event would need to take place while the park is still active with sports
organizations and will shoot for mid August tournament time.
Chair Arnst asked whether the Park Foundation might like to offer their Adopt-A-Brick fundraiser during the
event. Bix voiced her concern of organizing the fundraiser in time to roll it out at the grand opening but
offered to present the idea to the Park Foundation next week at their regular meeting. In order to pull it off
PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
TUESDAY, JUNE 12,2001
Page 5 of 7
professionally, Bix wondered whether it could be done so quickly, but said she would do her best to move it
forward.
Puzak maintained that the event could not be delayed any later in the season or no one would be there. All
agreed that the time to strike, be it the fundraiser or grand opening, is when the most people are there. With
tournament time in mid August, the Commission could tie it into the Grand Finale of the season.
Chair Arnst asked to have these items slated as tentative items for the City Council to approve at their next
meeting. Once the dates are verified with the Park Foundation and park use schedules.
Dallman wondered if fundraising at these events would send a message that the City is broke. Puzak
disagreed, saying simply that it implies that the Community Parks need Community support.
.
Zerby wondered if ties could be made to either event, especially Eddy Station, from a historical or heritage
angle.
Puzak noted that this could be the First of an Annual Ice Cream Social Event at Eddy Station. Everyone
applauded the idea and agreed that the next years could be done earlier in the season.
Meyer moved, Bix seconded, approving that the Park Commission supports the Park Foundation
fundraising Project of the Buy-A-Brick program. Motion passed 6/0:
8. DISCUSSION OF NON-PAYMENT O~ USER FEES FROM SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS
Chair Arnst circulated the 2001 Field Use charts and Sports Organization User Fee Agreement record. As
demonstrated by the User Fee Record form, there has been hesitation in receiving payment from several
groups. Since the beginning of the season, one month ago, letters and invoices have been sent to these
organizations instructing them to pay.
.
Chair Arnst voiced the concern expressed by the Mayor and City Council over the non-payments and how the
Commission will follow-up with these organizations.
After attending the quarterly meeting between the Mayors and Minnetonka Community Education, Brown felt
he heard many communities expressing the same concerns Shorewood has already voiced to Dan Cuzlik, the
Administrator for MCES. The same concerns Brown heard included the scheduling questions, field usage,
and how fees get collected and rosters obtained, they've presented. Since that meeting, Brown reported that
Administrator Dawson and himself have met with Cuzlik to address these ongoing issues and plan to do so
agam.
Brown indicated at this meeting with Cuzlik, he and Dawson asked that if the various Cities were willing to
spend more and pay for better service could these areas be addressed better. Brown believed MCES is feeling
the heat from Shorewood and others. He maintained that MCES should see that the Cities are willing to pay
for good service, and in order for them to compete and continue to be the supplier they need to improve.
Puzak asked what the City pays MCES and what it covers. Brown replied that the City pays approximately
.50 per capita, totaling about $3,200. These fees cover the scheduling of fields and administration of lifeguard
and tennis services. Puzak then questioned whether they are capable of supplying us with what we are
demanding, or if it would be wise to enter into a shared park and recreation services of our own. The City had
PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
TUESDAY, JUNE 12,2001
Page 6 of 7
offered last year to purchase new scheduling software for MCES.
Chair Arnst voiced her concern that MCES needs to be more fOlthcoming with the City and Park
Commission. This was the first year Shorewood required sports organization user fees, and while we asked
for support and cooperation from MCES, we did not get answers or the cooperation we needed.
Chair Arnst asked for feedback regarding their no pay, no play stance as it regards to sports organizations
anteing up the required user fees. For example, East Tonka Little League at Manor Park this evening has not
paid and was discovered playing there. Brown, pointing to the User Fee Records, showed that staff has
repeatedly tried to reach East Tonka Little League. They've spoken to members of ETLL and put them on
notice of the user fees. According to contacts made in both May and June they are now aware and should
know they owe for the use of those fields, especially after found cunningly using Manor this evening.
Bix agreed that it is apparent that East Tonka Little League is using the fields and we need to bill them
accordingly. If they choose to, they can come back and argue their case in front of the Commission at that
time if they disagree. Young suggested attaching a copy of the MCES's own scheduling document to the
invoice showing where and when they use Manor Park fields. .
Brown noted that the City is only beginning to see funds coming in with the new user fees. He admitted there
will always be a few bumps in the road when initiating a new system, but he maintained that he has seen
progress as well. With that, they will still be receiving rosters yet this fall and have exceeded the budgeted
amount they expected already.
Chair Arnst indicated that it seems to her that there is a process in place, the invoices and letters have been
sent out asking for payment and she requested to be sure ETLL was added to that list.
9. APPROVAL SUPPORTING THE PARK FOUNDATION FUNDRAISING PROJECT OF A
BRICK PROGRAM
Addressed under Eddy Station Grand Opening.
10. OLD BUSINESS
.
Regarding operations at Eddy Station, Brown asked the Commission to clarify their perceptions and
expectations over buildings hours. Meyer believed it should be open during park hours. Dallman agreed,
that the public will expect it to be open 7 A.M to 10 P.M., especially after the City spent that money to
build it. Bix questioned whether winter hours could be different, with a rink attendant present, than
summer hours.
Brown reported that the Mayor would like to look into a video camera surveillance system. Dallman
added that an automatic timer on the outdoor bathrooms might be useful. Brown said that he will pursue
different avenues and obtain quotes from services that can provide the operations we need at Eddy
Station.
Puzak asked when the City takes ownership of the property. Brown reported that the final building
inspection should take place within a couple of weeks.
Chair Arnst wondered if a wooden sign could be installed on the LRT pointing people to the Eddy Station
vending machines. Brown would follow-up.

RE:
A Motion Naming the "Old Rest Area" Located at 5355 St. Albans Bay Road
On May 8, 2001 the Park Commission considered options for:the naming of the latest addition to
park land located at 5355 St. Albans Bay Road (refer to Attachment 1 for the site location map).
This parcel is currently comprised of green space and the site of'the new skate park.
.
In the decision to name the park, Commissioners stated the need to provide a name, which reflected
the support and commitment provided by all of the "Lake Area" communities to make this a
successful project. Therefore, a motion was made a passed ~ecommending that the name for the
park be the South Shore Community Park.
A resolution, which designates the name for the park as the South Shore Community Park, IS
attached for the City Council's consideration.

C. Discuss City Vending Operations as They Currently Interact with Sports
Organization Vendors
Dallman inquired whether the contract would allow the City to run concessions at Eddy Station next year if a
vendor is found. Brown noted that there is no conflict between Midwest Vending and a Concession stand,
however, the City will not be allowed to operate other vending on the premises.
D. Review Current Vendor Permit Ordinance (Att.-#8D)
Chair Arnst pointed out that during tournament weekends, many vendors are at Freeman Park selling things,
but until now have not been required to have vendor permits as required by the ordinance. These vendors will
now need to be notified that they will be required to pay the annual $50 permit fee.
C. Recommendation to Council
.
Dallman moved, Berndt seconded, to recommend to Council they approve the proposal presented by
Midwest Vending to install vending machines at Eddy Station. Motion passed 5/0.
9. NAME IDEAS FOR SKATE PARK
A. Review and Discuss Name Ideas (Att.-#9A)
Chair Arnst added another name for consideration. "The Passing" was offered by Tim Hughes.
Dallman then presented a letter from the Clarence Clofer American Legion Post and Unit No. 259 offering to
provide Shorewood with a cash donation of $1,000 a year for the next five years for improvements within the
park area, provided that post 259 is allowed to visually identify itself on the premises as a sponsor of the park.
He added that they also ask the park be named to reflect its muti-purpose communal use andnot only as a
skate park. Berndt commented that she liked the opportunity to show the community that the American
Legion is a part of the Community on many levels. .
.
Chair Arnst asked for comment whether the Commission liked the name South Shore Community Park as a
whole.
'.
B. Recommendation to City Council
Young moved, Meyer seconded, to recommend to Council that the name South Shore Community Park
be adopted for the overall park. Motion passed 5/0.
Young moved, Berndt seconded, to recommend to Council we accept the offer as laid out in the letter
from the Clarence Clofer American Legion Post and Unit No. 259 to sponsor the South Shore
Community Park. Motion passed 5/0.
Chair Arnst requested staff send a response letter to the Post's offer.
The meeting recessed from 9: 13 to 9: 15 P.M. to give Chair Arnst an opportunity to call to obtain the
additional name submitted by Commissioner Bix.
Chair Arnst returned to add the name "Easy Rider" to the name idea list. She asked to vote on the list of
given names. During the process the onry name to receive one vote from Commissioner Berndt was "Rails".

More.discussion continued with Commissioner Young questioning why a second and separate name for the
Skate Park was necessary. Many agreed that the overall park name fit well and asked if the second sign on .
premises could merely acknowledge the contributors to the park. Brown felt this approach to be consistent
with the other Shorewood Parks whose signage also thanks contributors.
Dallman moved, Young seconded, recommending Council not give a separate name to the Skate Park
at the new South Shore Community Park but instead acknowledge contributors of the overall park.

RE:
,Skate Park Naming
DATE:
April 26, 2001
Following is a summary of our discussions of April 25, concerning the Skate Park Naming. At
our May 8 meeting, we will need to formally discuss these ideas, agree on name(s) and make a
recommendation to the Council. .
The meeting was attended by the Shorewood Park Commission. Commissioner Puzak was
absent. Also in attendance was Deephaven City'Councilmember and Park Liaison Nancy
Middleton, Deephaven Park Commissioner Jennifer Young and Larry Brown. Excelsior Park
Commissioners could not attend, but did submit four name ideas for the Skate Park.
.
The group agreed that the 6.0 acre park facility should be treated as two components. The skate
park being one, and the remainder of the park the other. We agreed that the skate park should
have a name that is quick, easy, and most importantly, youth oriented. The overall park name
should be reflective of the community as a whole.
Name ideas for the skate park:
.
.
Skateboard 7
Pike's Park
Skater Supreme
Skater Heaven
Lake Skate
5-Citles Skate Park
Twister .
Grinders
Rails
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
After some discussion, the finalists were: (1) Skateboard 7, (2) Lake Skate, (3) Grinders and (4)
Rails. While the group agreed that Pike's Park would pe a fine tribute to the young man who
initiated the idea, there was concern about the other kids that had participated and the equity of
naming the park after just one activist. The group did agree that contact should be made with
some of the young people who have worked with the cities to solicit name ideas from them.
Those names will be included with the four listed above, for consideration by the Shorewood
Park Commission.
The skate park itself could be recognized by a plaque that read approximately:
Rails
a community project supported by the cities of
Deephaven, Excelsior, Greenwood, Shorewood and Tonka Bay
Contributors: .
Susie Smith
Mary Moe
Billy Bean, etc.
Next, in naming the general park area, the group concluded that "South Shore Community Park" .
was in context with the other joint ventures of the south shore cities, i.e., the police department,
Southshore Center and the new fire district. A second option discussed, but not as strongly
supported, was "South Lake Community Park."
Commi~sioner Dallman proposed that the American Legion would be interested in an annual
sponsorship of the park if the name somehow included "American Legion." A proposal was
made that the name, as displayed on the sign, could be something to the effect of:
.
South Shore Community Park
maintained with the genel'ous contributions
of
American Legion Post #
The group agreed that the inclusion of the veteran's group was a worthwhile idea, and that the
contributions would be welcomed. They further agreed that this type of sign would preclude any
confusion about ownership of the park and would leave the door open for other potential
sponsors. Dallman said that so far, the idea had only been discussed between him and the Post
Commander. He agreed to take the proposal back for discussion by their full board and would
report back to the Park Commission.
.
Other discussion:
Council member Middleton and Commissioner Young were very interested in the user fees
process and ordinance recently enacted by Shorewood. They requested copies of our
information for discussion within their own city. We also exchanged information about dog
issues, vandalism and sports organization requests, format for our park commission meetings and
minute taking. Both were very pleased with the opportunity to dialog and asked that we continue
to host these informal meetings on a regular basis.

Re:
Skate P~rk Naming
. I talked to Tim Hughes and he and about 15 other kids voted that the name should be
"The Passing",
He explained their reason is that the skate park is next to Highway 7 and as you are
driving by you say "hey there's a skate park" and pass right by since there is no where to
turn until you are pass the park,

Dear Commander Vinge:
.
The City of Shorewood thanks Clarence Clofer American LegionPost 259 for its offer of a five-year
commitment of funds for improvements to South Shore Community Park. It is gratifying to see
organizations such as Post 259 willing to make this type of investment for the community.
The Park Commission is in the process of reviewing the master plans of each of Shorewood' sparks.
In the case of South Shore Community Park, a master plan will need to be developed. The City will
be very pleased to accept designated contributions that are consistent with the South Shore
Community Park master plan. The City will take ownership of contributions that are non-cash items.
In concept, the City Council and Park Commission agree that Post 259 should have some readily
visible and identifiable recognition for its role in the improvement of South Shore Community Park.
The Post will need to work with the Park Commission to identify recognition is appropriate, and the
City Council will approve it. City staff is ready to assist as necessary throughout this process.
.
At this point the Park Commission has recommended, and the City Council has indicated its
concurrence, that the skate facility in South Shore Community Park will not have a separate name.
Again, we thank you for your offer of partnership in the development of Shorewood' s newest park.

.
Chair Bailey explained the procedures to be utilized in this Public Hearing. He noted the Planning
Commission was a recommending body only that prided itself on being impartial when considering issues
such as this one. He reviewed the goal of the Public Hearing and noted the Commission was interested in
hearing ideas without debate. He requested testimony be directed to the Commission and that courtesy,
respect, and brevity prevail. This matter would be reported on at the June 11,2001, Regular City Council
Meeting***
He also explained one Councilmember had recused himself in dealing with this matter, thus approval by
Council required a unanimous vote of support.
Director Nielsen then presented background information regarding this matter. The Avalon Group, LLC,
represented Mr. Stan Taube, owner of the Shorewood Village Shopping Center, Inc., had submitted plans
for redevelopment of the Shorewood Village Shopping Center at 23680 State Highway 7. They proposed
to demolish part of the existing Driskill's grocery store and then build a new CUB Foods store extending
from the west end of the shopping center onto three parcels of land to the west.
The shopping Senter existed on the largest parcel (8.32 acres) in that immediate area and was zoned
General Commercial. A vacant parcel to the west was zoned similarly, except for a IOO-foot wide strip of
land on the north side of the previously vacated Maple Street right-of-way, which was zoned Single
Family Residential and contained 3.52 acres. The site currently occupied by the bank contained .24 acres,
and was also zoned General Commercial. The bank building would be demolished as part of this
proposal. The fourth parcel was occupied by a single-family residence, zoned Single Family Residential,
and contained .72 acres of land. Applicants proposed demolishing the existing house and requested a
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
June 5 2001
Page 2 of 12
rezoning of both of the residentially zoned properties to General Commercial. The applicants also
proposed combining all four parcels for a total of 12.8 acres.
Zoning and land use surrounding the site was varied. The land to the nOlth and east surrounding the
property was zoned Single Family Residential. A commercially zoned shopping center existed in
Chanhassan immediately to the south across Highway 7. A single family home, a two-family home, and
two offices, zoned respectively residential and commercial, existed to the west. Much of the site
currently holding the shopping center existed as a gravel mine years ago. A substantial buffer of
vegetation exists along the north side of the property.
The new store, loading and parking areas would be extended onto the residentially zoned land. The new
building would add 67,188 square feet to the shopping center resulting in a total of 109,087 square feet.
This application was quite complex and involved consideration of numerous zoning actions by the City:
· Comprehensive Plan Amendment to expand the commercial area into what is now guided as
Low-to-Medium Residential (2-3 units per acre)
· Rezoning of residential land from R-IC, Single Family Residential to C-3, General
Commercial
· Preliminary plat approval combining four parcels
· Vacation of a portion of Maple Street right-of-way
· Conditional use permit for drive-up facility (pharmacy)
· Variance to hardcover requirement in Shore land District
· Conditional use-Shoreland Impact Plan
· Variance to parking requirements (number of spaces)
· Variance to parking requirements (setbacks)
· Conditional use permit (revision to multiple signage permit)
.
These actions were detailed in order throughout the remainder of Director Nielsen's presentation of issues
and analysis.
The Comprehensive Plan Amendment and rezoning requests required evaluation by the Planning
Commission of the land use, transportation, and natural resource policies as they pertained to the City's
Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Plans. Approval of a preliminary and ultimately final plat would
require the four parcels be legally combined.
.
As part of this request, a small triangle of Maple Street would need to be vacated. Consideration was to
be given to the space available for a turn-around at the end of the street. Director Nielsen listed possible
options for consideration. He noted the design chosen would be subject to review by the Fire Marshal.
In considering the remainder of the applicant's requests, Director Nielsen encouraged the Planning
Commission to make sure all criteria for granting conditional use permits and variances were met.
Criteria for granting conditional use permits included consideration of the relationship or consistency with
the Comprehensive Plan, compatibility with future and existing uses, possible depreciation of the area
where the request was located, acceptability of the accommodations with existing City services, and at the
same time, not overburdening those services, as well as the specific conditions listed for each use.
Criteria for granting variances were more specific, notably that the circumstances must be unique to the
property, the applicant must demonstrate "undue hardship," economic conditions alone shall not
constitute hardship, the burden of proof was on the applicant, and the City may attach reasonable
conditions.

Director Nielsen then explained the eleven conditions relative to the drive-in facilities requested as part of
this proposal. Concerns were expressed regarding the architectural compatibility with the existing center.
Light standards seemingly appeared to be located within landscape islands or area.
In addition, the developer proposed a six-foot fence sitting atop a masonry retaining wall of varying
heights, along the west side of the property. While the current vegetation has developed into a significant
buffer to the commercial property, some concern was expressed that the developer proposed a single row
of spruce and aspen trees between the wall and the property line. Director Nielsen explained aspens
would require a number of years before their height would become an effective screening device. The
City placed considerable reliance upon landscaping to achieve compatibility between land uses, and as
such, this plan was not considered ample. Director Nielsen noted this landscaping issue was a concern for
all areas on site
.
Another area of concern included the circulation pattern for the drive-in facility. It included a one-way
circulation pattern. While there was apparently sufficient room for a car using the drive-in window to
make a necessary u-turn as it approached from the south, it was forced into the lane for exiting delivery
trucks and employees parking at the rear of the center.
Lighting fixtures required a more detailed plan demonstrating how the light source would not be visible to
adjoining properties.
Drainage was of concern as well. The proposed plan relied on a low impact development technique
known as infiltration. Since little information was made available regarding the soil on site, this was
questionable. Also, the plan proposed a fenced-in sunken pond on the northwest corner of the site. In
consideration of the high retaining walls also proposed for that area, safety and maintenance of the area
were cause for concern as well.
Significant signage plans had not been submitted, however, it was recommended no signage be allowed
on the west side facing the residential areas.
All parking and circulation areas were to be paved, and proposed curbing around all parking and
perimeter areas were consistent with the City zoning code requirements.
. The applicant's plan indicated approximately two-thirds of the site would be situated within the 1000-foot
Shoreland zoning district for Lake Linden. As such, the site would be subject to the maximum of 25
percent impervious surface requirements. The proposed hardcover for this plan was in excess of 80
percent. Also, variance requirements set forth by City code for the Shoreland district also reference the
" . . . preservation of the natural land forms, vegetation, and the marshes and wetlands within the City of
Shorewood." While there was no direct impact to any adjoining wetland the extent of the tree removal
and the extent of the site alteration being proposed appeared to be in conflict with this code. Similarly,
these concerns were echoed regarding the necessary submission of a Shoreland impact plan.
A number of issues surfaced regarding the request for a parking variance. Initially, there appeared to be a
parking shortage on site as part of the proposed plan. After several revisions and varying calculations
required for parking space width, it was determined the plan was short 29 spaces. The applicant had
shown a number of parking spaces to the rear of the building causing concern for the security and
practicality of those proposed spaces. "Cart corrals" were proposed as part of the parking lot islands.
This conflicted with the landscape plan and possibly the infiltration islands. Also, many time these "cart
corrals" ended up in the parking lots further reducing the number of spaces for parking. Finally, there
was no room for snow storage, requiring operational compliance in having the snow transported offsite.
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
June 5 2001

In addition, the proposed plan included 25 feet of pavement encroachment behind the new store, and
ultimately, a hardship had not been demonstrated in this request for a parking variance in the setback area.
Director Nielsen reported one of the most significant issues expressed by City staff was increased traffic
on Lake Linden Drive, Yellowstone Trail, and Country Club Road. A traffic study conducted by the.
applicant's traffic engineer suggested the traffic generated by a CUB store would not be significant. This
seemed to require revision to show more realistic comparisons as well as inclusion of the increase of
traffic related to weekend use.
Engineer Brown briefly summarized his report on this matter providing more significant detail in regard
to each of the requests by the applicant. Specifically, he reviewed the site plan and traffic circulation
patterns; a response to a traffic study provided by Benshoof & Associates; comments regarding
stonnwater management plans as well as proposed sanitary sewer and watermain issues; parking
requirements; landscaping and lighting; and general plat comments. This report was submitted as a
memorandum from Dave Hutton, ofWSB & Associates, dated May 18,2001, and would be made
available to the public for further review at City Hall. This report also included specific conditions and
recommendations regarding the approval of this matter.
Engineer Brown also reported on the impact the Highway 7 and 41 Reconstruction project would have on
this project. Notably, the access to Lake Linden Drive from Highway 7 would be closed, signals would
be replaced in this area, and there was concern for the stormwater pond in front of the SuperAmerica
located on the southwest corner of the intersection. Retention levels for the pond were already being
utilized to full capacity as part of proposed plans for that area and would not be able to withstand
additional drainage as a result of the CUB project.
.
Chair Bailey complimented City staff on the thoroughness of their reports and thanked them for their
efforts regarding this request.
Barbara Van Auken, of the Avalon Group and representing Mr. Stan Taube-owner of the Shorewood
Village Shopping Center, addressed the Commission. She explained there had been significant upgrading
and remodeling completed on site. Further, she noted the Supervalu store was the anchor tenant, owned.
by Mr. Scott Driskill. That store would be replaced with the proposed expansion and upgrade of grocery
store use. She stated the bank on site was owned by Mr. Taube and leased to the current bank occupant. .
She believed the best use of the site included the proposed expansion and upgrade of the grocery store.
She reviewed past historic meeting information regarding the proposal, noting the meeting of May I,
2001,where in an effort to work with City staff, the Avalon Group had consistently responded to requests
made by the City throughout the planning process. She stated this would continue throughout the
remainder of the process as well. She further explained a neighborhood meeting had taken place on May
18,2001, at City Hall with twenty-nine citizens in attendance. At a most recent follow-up session on
June 4,2001, seven citizens were present to hear additional studies, answers to previous questions, and
other concerns.
She then introduced the remaining members representing the Avalon Group this evening. Mr. John
Parson, of the Parsons Transportation Group, and a civil engineer of twenty years, made presentation to
the Commission regarding the proposed fire flow storage tank on site, fencing, entrance drive, alternate
site plan, landscaping plan, site grading plan, lighting plan, sightline study, and potential water usage for
this proposal.
He stated there would be a fire flow storage tank on site as part of this proposal. Also, the fence proposed
around the infiltration pond met National Urban Retention Pond (NURP) standards and a safety ladder
would be installed as well. With regard to the entrance to the Shopping Center, he preferred the proposed
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
June 5 2001
Page 5 of 12
entrance rather than the one MnDOT was supporting as part of their reconstruction plans. He noted the
alternate site plan of one restaurant and convenience store could adequately be situated on the site. He
proposed "shoebox" style lighting with flat lens.
He further explained the grading plans for the area. The property was believed to have been a gravel
operation previously, however, all soil tests completed thus far had missed evidence of that form of
operation. The sand and gravel hoped for as an aid to the infiltration process for the NURP pond area had
not materialized. As a result, consideration was being given to running piping to other gravel areas on
site. He also noted this proposal was subject to Minnehaha Creek Watershed District standards and
resolution to issues was forthcoming.
The photometrics of the proposed plan were being reviewed to address additional "hotspot" areas
recognized by the topography. A sight line study had been conducted for the proposal. Sight lines had
been examined from a second story height. Findings concluded the use of a six-foot fence would filter
the headlights from a delivery truck, but would not shelter the truck entirely from view.
.
With respect to use of semi-trucks on site, a standard semi could access all proposed turns in the
circulation pattern, however, it would need to encroach onto land and turn lanes with the proposed
entrance suggested by MnDOT. Also, it would encroach onto parking spots to access the drive-through
lane of the pharmacy, but good sight lines were maintained in the pharmacy area.
Water usage noted there would be use of a well for the site. He noted filling the water tank would
potentially cause the water table to dip around that well. While he had not been able to identify the
neighboring wells in the area, he expected the amount of impact to the water table in the area to be
insignificant.
Mr. Bob Knudson, representing Supervalu, presented a review of the Architectural Plan. He state CUB
was experiencing new growth throughout the Metro area, and as such, different store designs were
planned. The proposed store for this site was smaller than many of their typical stores and a new layout
was being proposed at the corporate level. He anticipated a prototype would be finished within the next
month.
.
Ms. Mary McGlinch, member of the Real Estate department of Supervalu, Inc., introduced Mr. Curt
Craig, District Manager for CUB Foods. Mr. Craig briefly reviewed the proposed interior layout of the
store, noting it would be most similar to the South dale store.
Ms. McGlinch stated the proposed store would be operational twenty-four hours a day, with fairly
consistent daytime hours for the pharmacy, and ten different departments within the store itself. Security
was not an issue at other stores, she explained, due to the use of the store and lighting on the site. She
then reviewed truck delivery times, explaining the store would attempt to restrict deliveries during the
nighttime hours. She anticipated a number of deliveries throughout the week by semi and approximately
ten panel trucks daily to properly stock the store. In addition, she explained the current Driskill's
employees would be allowed to interview with CUB for continued employment. The bank building on
site would be demolished and negotiations were underway regarding use of the store space for banking.
Mr. Jim Benshoof, a traffic engineer, briefly summarized a traffic report generated by his firm, Benshoof
and Associates. His findings indicated there would not be a perceptible change in the traffic on Lake
Linden Drive, Yellowstone Trail, and Country Club Road. Overall, he found a seven to eleven percent
increase in total daily volume on those roadways. He did not believe this level would alter the basic
function and level of safety currently being experienced on that roadway as well. He further explained he
had received a copy of staff memorandums and noted a general degree of skepticism and concern from
City staff and citizen comments as various neighborhood meetings. As a result, he would seek to provide
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
June S 2001
Page 6 of 12
fUlther response, specifically focusing developing alternate traffic scenarios and the effects of weekend
traffic on specified roadways.
Mr. Payton again addressed the Commission in direct response to Director Nielsen's memorandum to the
Commission and City Council, dated May 31, 2001. He briefly explained a final plat would be
forthcoming upon approval of this proposal. Work would continue regarding resolution of matters
regarding the vacation of the Maple Street right-of-way. He questioned Whether demolishing the current
drive through on the bank site; resulting in a singular drive-through would enhance the plan. Further, he
stated, according to his calculations, existing hardcover utilized fifty-five percent of the site. He noted
expectations for reductions in that hardcover amount could not possibly be met with an expansion. Any
development in that area would have the potential to impact Lake Linden and all best efforts were being
put forth to minimize that impact. He also explained short retaining walls would be erected on the north
side of the proposed parking stalls behind the store in an effort to protect the steep slope of the
topography.
Chair Bailey then opened the Public Testimony portion of the Public Hearing at 9:30 P.M.
Ms. Dione Kahlstrom, 6070 Lake Linden Drive, stated she was a spokesperson for approximately twelve
people in her neighborhood. She stated her concerns regarding traffic on Lake Linden Drive, specifically
taking issue with the potential for increased speed and number of cars traveling on the road to get to the
proposed store. Also, she had taken photos of other metro area CUB food stores and was concerned about
the tremendous amounts of trash along fencelines. In addition, she noted concern for the use of aspen
trees as part of the proposed landscape plan. She eXplained these trees lose their leaves in winter and
would drastically reduce the buffering intent of their purpose. She also submitted a petition including
approximately 350 names asking that this proposal not be approved. She stated residents were concerned
it would set a precedent for other large chains and these residents would like to maintain a rustic, small-
town country charm currently being demonstrated in Shorewood.
Mr. Austin Kraft, 6125 Rampart Court, stated he had met with other neighbors as a community. He
explained it did not seem as though the CUB proposal fit within the community. He stated he believed
there were issues related to traffic and the Comprehensive Plan. He explained the traffic on Lake Linden
Drive would seem to increase substantially as a result of the new CUB Foods store. He further
commented it seemed as though the proposed plan required huge exceptions to the Comprehensive Plan.
Ms. Theresa Elsbernd, 5880 Minnetonka Drive, stated she was a professional residential construction
owner and had several questions and concerns regarding the proposal. She stated, as a residential builder,
she was required to observe wetland and tree preservation measures, and believed the Avalon Group
should have to comply with these requirements as well. She was concerned about the land preservation
issues related to this proposal. Also, she expressed concern for the increase in traffic in the area, the
change in historic, rustic character of the area, and she did not see any hardship being presented with
regard to the requests for variances and permits. She stated she adamantly opposed the CUB proposal.
Ms. Denise Koehnen, 6095 Lake Linden Drive, stated she lived directly west of the vacant lot beside
Driskill's. She stated she was concerned about the buffer being planned for the site, noting it seemed
inadequate. Litter posed another concern, as her property would most likely be affected. Lake Linden
Drive was not adequately handling today's traffic let alone an increase, she stated.
Mr. Roger Nestande, 6085 Lake Linden Drive, submitted photos to the Commission regarding the holding
pond in his backyard as part of his property on the vacated land on Maple Street.
Mr. Mike Adams, 24234 Mary Lake Trail, stated his concern regarding the traffic on Lake Linden Drive,
Yellowstone Trail, and Country Club Road. He expressed concern for the speeding occurring in the area,
.

Planning Commission Meeting Minutes

noting it was not unusual to see vehicles moving at sixty to seventy miles per hour on this road. Thus,
making them impossible for pedestrian traffic. In addition, he stated the traffic from the CUB would
compound this situation. He noted Shorewood had strict policies governing the use of conditional use
permits and easements, and he hoped that applied to corporate entities as well.
Mr. Kevin Byrne, 6085 Rampart Court, stated he had moved from the New England area to Shorewood
because his family liked the similar character. He stated he liked being able to shop at a family-owned
business because he believed it helped to establish pride in the community. He further stated he shopped
at CUB and Driskill's and he understood the motive of a large warehouse style grocery store in producing
efficiently by selling in large quantities. He implored the Commission to think about how the proposal
would affect other businesses in the area. He noted it did not seem like a good fit. Other proposals would
work to make themselves fit into the community and he believed CUB was choosing not to fit into the
community, thus, he was opposed to the CUB proposal as well.
.
Mr. Duncan Storley, 5375 Eureka Road, stated he did not see any justification to wan'ant any changes in
the rules to accommodate this proposal. The project seemed totally out of scale and well beyond need.
He believed this proposal pushed every edge to get the biggest possible store for the site and the store
itself was not need in the community.
Mr. Chris Kahlstrom, 6070 Lake Linden Drive, stated any increase in traffic to Lake Linden Drive would
be detrimental.
Mr. Henry Miles, 24035 Mary Lake Trail, stated he had a hard time understanding the impact the store
would make onthe area by looking at photos and listening to people. He believed shopping centers to be
ugly, dirty, and noisy, as well as affecting the environment by contributing light pollution and noise
pollution to the area. He stated he liked Shorewood's strategy of protecting the environment and built his
own home according to these strategies. He requested the Planning Commission consider the motivations
of the people doing their jobs and not be taken in by the process. He further requested the Commission
ponder the future, and try to determine the impact this proposal would have on the area.
.
Ms. Britta Larson, owner of the Hair Razors ~alonat the Shorewood Village Shopping Center, stated she
had owned the salon for five years and had concerns with the well portion of the proposal. Specifically,
she was concerned with the impact the proposed well activity would have on the businesses in the center.
Also, she expressed concern regarding the parking spaces allotted noting they did not seem at all
adequate.
Ms. Laurie Susla, 26077 Noble Road, stated she was concerned people were not aware of this issue.
Mr. Todd Boynton, 6155 Riviera Lane, requested the Commission think about decisions made today
affect the future. He asked the Commission to review criteria for variances and permits and be fair to all.
Mr. Mark Kennedy, 23875 Yellowstone Trail, stated he had owned his property for thirty days. Had he
known there would be a CUB Foods store increasing traffic in the area, he would not have purchased his
residence. He stated his children were already fearful of walking along the street and he was not in favor
of the proposal.
Ms. Lorraine Johnson, 6060 Riviera Lane, stated she had lived in the area for thirty-two years. She stated
her concern regarding Lake Linden Drive itself, noting it was a curvy, dangerous road. She enjoyed
Driskill's and the "small town" appeal of the area and hoped it could remain.
Mr. Stan Taube, 27280 Edgewood Road and owner/developer of the Shorewood Village Shopping
Center, stated he had moved to the area for the same reasons stated by other people in the audience. He
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
June 5 2001
Page 8 of 12
stated he had always tried to maintain pride in his efforts to make a difference. He noted it had taken
several years to improve the Shopping Center, and the Center could not exist without a supermarket. He
thanked the Planning Staff for being cooperative in working on this proposal. He further stated he heard
people with valid concerns and expected many of these same issues would arise with any other proposed
store for that space. It was his belief that a supermarket in Shorewood would not be able to exist unless it
was of similar size to the proposed store. He stated he was proud of what he had developed over the
years, and respectfully committed to working with the City staff, residents, and developers for the area.
Ms. Theresa Elsbernd, questioned the Commission about how best to present issues of concern to the
Commission.
Ms. Bonita Wylie, 5975 Charleston Circle, stated she understood the concerns presented this evening, as
well as the need for people to continue to move further west of the Metro area to experience small town
character. However, she also understood the need for commercial interests in the City. While this
proposal was not perfect, she recommended the Commission at least give it ample consideration.
Mr. Austin Kraft, reiterated his previous concern regarding the lack of "fit" within the community. He
also stated most of the people he had talked with about the matter were opposed to it.
.
Mr. Bob Picha, 5930 Seamans Drive, expressed his concern for additional traffic in the immediate area of
the Shopping Center. He suggested the CUB proposal be revised to include a smaller store, and the
Commission consider the impact of this proposal on the road systems in the area.
Mr. Ed Sheridan, 5160 Club Valley Road, stated he was an older resident of Shorewood. He had seen
many residential areas become very commercial. He stated he liked the small stores and companies found
in this area, rather than the bigger stores. He was opposed to the proposal as well.
Chair Bailey closed the Public Testimony portion of the Public Hearing at 10:45 P.M. by thanking them
for their participation in this matter.
Chair Bailey recessed the meeting at 10:45 P.M., and reconvened the meeting at 10:55 P.M.
Commissioner Pisula stated he had been directed to write down questions presented by the community .
regarding this issue as part of this Public Hearing process. As such, he had generated a small list of
questions, noting that most comments were heard this evening. However, he noted there still seemed to
be questions regarding the traffic in the area of Lake Linden Drive.
Engineer Brown responded the Planning Commission and City Council had tried to take several steps in
the past in decreasing the amount of traffic on that road. He also cited the access closure to Highway 7
and the changes being proposed as part of the County Road 19 intersection project as efforts toward that
end. He also commented the "cut-through"traffic would remain an issue as part of any proposed
development for that area. He stated it was not an "if, but when" situation regarding the development of
the site. The City could only help to guide and control any proposed development in that area. However,
as it pertained to this request, it seemed as though traffic would certainly increase on Lake Linden Drive.
Commissioner Pisula then noted skepticism had been raised regarding the traffic study completed by
Benshoof and Associates. He questioned actual traffic increases and where would that traffic originate.
Mary McGlinch responded the study was conducted utilizing information from a "dot map"developed at
the Driskill's store, and she expected CUB would encourage traffic with origination of approximately five
to eight miles away.
.

Commissioner Pisula then noted questions remained about the water being supplied to the site. Engineer
Brown explained accuracy of the aquifer could be checked using simple calculations. However, he
deferred to Mr. Payton of the Avalon Group for information regarding water pressure. Mr. Payton
responded the well would have continual maintenance and would be reviewed annually. There would be
a two to three thousand gallon tank on top to push water out and provide pressure to the center. With
regard to comments made by Ms. Britta Larsen about the water pressure in her salon, he noted there could
possibly be internal pressure issues. He also suggested if a "draw down" was experienced, it may have
been related to a more regional issue.
Commissioner Pisula then questioned Mr. Payton about the preferred use of aspen trees on the site. Mr.
Payton explained aspen trees were chosen as part of the proposal because they seemed to be similar to
other tree types on residential propelties in the area. Other types could certainly be examined for
adaptability and made part of the proposal.
Commissioner Pisula suggested adequate parking requirements be worked out for the Hair Razors Salon
by having Mr. Taube and the Avalon Group work directly with Ms. Larson.
.
Commissioner Pisula then questioned Director Nielsen about the notification standards used in this
palticular proposal. Director Nielsen explained all applications require Public Hearings and notification
of residents within three hundred fifty feet of proposed properties were required by state statute.
However, Shorewood ordinance stipulated a five hundred foot notification radius would be utilized. This
request required a more extensive notification area since the impact was greater than the required
notification distance. As a result, extraordinary efforts were made in making notification to Shorewood
residents. Hearings were posted in local newspapers as per the process, but also notifications were made
in newsletters, City meeting minutes, additional mailings, and in some cases, hand deliveries were made
in effort tQ notify residents.
Chair Bailey then opened discussion including all Commission members as part of this process.
Commissioners Borkon, Woodruff, and White questioned members of the Avalon Group about-refuse
collection for the site. Various members of the Avalon Group explained refuse collection was contracted
and refuse and recycling were keptin back of the store.
. Commissioner Woodruff expressed concern regarding the inability of Supervalu to control delivery and
refuse collection times. Commissioner Gagne noted he had personally observed the delivery of trucks
and it had seemed excessive in the time span observed. He also expressed concern for the lack of.
regulation regarding deliveries.
Commissioner Borkon thanked members of the Avalon Group for their friendly presentation and
questioned whether a smaller CUB format could be recommended for this site. Ms. McGlinch responded
the CUB format was premised on efficiencies related to volume and product. She stated it would not
work to utilize a smaller merchandising area. The sixty to seventy thousand foot stores allowed
merchandise to be offered in a certain way, and she did not anticipate things working if made
substantially smaller. Mr. Knudson interjected he would like to see an exterior that would fit in with the
Center as a whole. Mr. Taube also interjected that aesthetically the team could design more pleasing
architecture and landscape plans. Further, he knew there was additional work to be completed on this
proposal and he would like to try to continue to work with City staff in an effort to make the proposal
work with the community.
Commissioner Packard questioned Engineer Brown whether changes could still be made to the proposed
entrance design being suggested by MnDOT since the project would soon be out for bid. He responded it
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
June 5 2001
Page 10 of 12
would not be an option at this point in time. Ms. Van Auken of the Avalon Group stated the Group
needed to meet to make revisions to their plans regarding the entrance.
Commissioner Packard then asked what had been gained by reducing the parking stall widths. Mr.
Knudson responded CUB could operate with a smaller stall width than cUlTently proposed if need be.
Commissioner Borkon stated she had many concerns regarding how this proposal aligned with the
Comprehensive Plan. Director Nielsen explained the number of requests issued as part of this proposal
was not unusual for a commercial development. However, the proposal seemed contrary to the
Comprehensive Plan in terms of compatibility with land use, noting the limited room made landscaping
even more impOltant in establishing compatibility between high-density properties and others less dense.
Chair Bailey then questioned Mr. Chuck Rickart, the City's traffic consultant, for his opinion regarding
the traffic study presented by the Avalon Group. He noted skepticism regarding the study, noting
conclusions regarding "cut-through" traffic and "pass-by trips"were not adequately explained or
supported.
Commissioner Borkon stated her concern for the lack of drainage from the proposed infiltration pond. .
Engineer Brown explained he was always concerned about drainage ponds without a drainage outlet. He
noted this raised many challenges for drainage as part of the proposal, and suggested the subject site plan
determine a way for water to get from the pond to Lake Linden.
Chair Bailey noted there seemed to be a number of issues regarding stormwater runoff from the site.
Also, he commented he did not know that the "cart corrals" were required to be placed in the parking lot,
but he suspected they would eventually be placed there utilizing more parking spaces in an already
crowded situation. Mr. Knudson commented the "cart COlTals" would probably take up space in the lot.
Pisula moved, Borkon seconded, directing Staff to prepare Findings of Fact that show:
1. The Avalon Group proposal conflicted with specific enumerated Goals and Objectives of
the Comprehensive Plan and so did not warrant adoption of either a Comprehensive Plan
~endment or rezoning.
2. That the proposal did not comply with the following relevant Policies s stated in the
Comprehensive Plan:
.
A. Land Use General Policy #10 - "Intensification of land use..."
B. Land Use General Policy #11- "Transitions between distinctly..."
C. Land Use Residential Policy #2 - "Low density..."
D. Land Use Residential Policy #3 - "Residential neighborhoods..."
K Land Use Residential Policy #6 - "Residential development..."
F. Land Use Residential Policy #1- "The City of Shorewood's..."
G. Land Use Residential Policy #4 - "All existing and proposed..."
H. Transportation Parking Policy #1- "No development..."
1. Housing Compatibility Policy #1- "Low density residential..."
J. Housing Compatibility Policy #2 - "The character of ..."
K. Housing Compatibility Policy #3 - "Residential developments..."
Commissioner Pisula commented this project did not seem to fit the specific policies of the
Comprehensive Plan. He also commented he was pleased with the changes made at the Shopping Center
over the past five years. In addition, he believed some other development would take place in the
proposed area. Commissioners Borkon and Gagne agreed noting it was a shame the efforts of so many
-..
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes

Page 11 of 12
would come to fruition. Also Commissioners Packard and Woodruff agreed there seemed a substantial
amount of hurdles to surpass in order to make the proposal compatible with City requirements. Chair
Bailey recommended working with City policies much more closely in the future.
The Planning Commission again restated the motion for a vote. Motion passed 7/0.
Woodruff moved, Gagne seconded, not approving the preliminary plat approval combining four
parcels.
Commissioner Woodruff stated to combine the four parcels would go against the premise of their
previous vote.
Motion passed 7/0.
Gagne moved, Packard seconded, disallowing the vacation of the Maple Street right-of-way, due to
failure to comply with the Comprehensive Plan. Motion passed 7/0.
.
Woodruff moved, Borkon seconded, denying the request for a Conditional Use Permit for the
drive-up facility as part of the pharmacy. Motion passed 7/0.
Borkon moved, Pisula seconded, denying the request for Variance to the hardcover requirement in
the Shoreland District. Motion passed 7/0.
Borkon moved, Gagne seconded, denying the request for a Conditional Use Permit for the
ShorelandImpact Plan. Motion passed 7/0.
Packard moved, White seconded, denying the request for Variance to the parking requirements
regarding the number of spaces. Motion passed 7/0.
Pisula moved, Gagne seconded, denying the request for Variance to the parking requirements
regarding the setbacks. Motion passed 7/0.
.
The Planning Commission noted the Conditional Use Permit for additional signage would not be needed
at this time.
Director Nielsen state the Findings of Fact would be a part of the Agenda for the July 3, 2001, Planning
Commission Meeting, and would also appear on the July 9, 2001, Regular City Council Meeting Agenda
if approved by the Commission.
Commissioner Borkon commented she was impressed with the way the residents thought the City was on
target regarding the Comprehensive Plan as it took such a long time to develop. Commissioner Woodruff
agreed.
2. MA TTERS FROM THE FLOOR
Mr. Duncan Storley, 5375 Eureka Road, questioned whether the Planning Commission, after having
heard the concerns this evening for Lake Linden Drive, would be making any plans to tackle the issues
related to the roadway. Engineer Brown commented he was excited to hear the residents were interested
in change for the road, because in the past that had not been the case. He stated he would ask Staff to
include it on the project list for the year.

Ms. Bonita Wylie, 5975 Charleston Circle, questioned whether this matter had been published in any
previous information formats for City residents. Director Nielsen explained there had been a number of
steps taken above and beyond the norm in an effort to make citizens aware of this proposal.
3. DRAFT NEXT MEETING AGENDA
As a Planning Commission Meeting Agenda had been previously drafted for June 6, 2001, there was not a
need to draft an agenda.

RE:
Update on the Shorewood Ponds Subdivision
On June 11, 2001, the City Council conducted a hearing to. determine what items rem~ined in
violation, and to determine what further action was necessary; and to insure that violations which
were corrected wouid not reoccur. The following is an exceI]t from the Development Agreement
outlining this process: I
I
Additional Remedies. Notwithstanding any other remedr available to the City under this
Agreement, the City may elect to proceed under this paragraph to remedy a violation of
I
Developer's obligations under paragraph 26 hereof '
n:

(a)
(b)
(c)
f
Upon discovery of an apparent violation of the Plan or Policy, the City will
notify the Developer in writing of the violation. The notice will contain a
description of the circumstances constituting the violation, the provision of the
Policy or Plan which is apparently violated, the steps which must be taken to
correct the violation and the date by whic~ the compliance must occur.
If compliance has not occurred within suqh time, or if the violation, by virtue
of its repeated nature, seriousness or othdr factors are such that a penalty may
be appropriate, the matter will be' schedul~d for a hearing by the City Council
at a meeting not sooner than ten (10) day~ following the date on which written
notice is mailed to the Developer. !
I
!
Following'the hearing, the Council shall r~nder its decision in writing. If the
Council determines that the Plan or Policy has been violated, (whether or not
the violation has been corrected) it may take some or all of the following
actions:
.
(i) impose a monetary penalty of not more than $1000 for each violation.
(ii) order that the Developer stop work on all construction for which building
permits have been issued; and withhold the issuance of additional building
permits until it has received assurances satisfactory to the City that no future
violations of the Plan or Policy are likely to occur.
(iii) take any other actions or enforce any other remedies available to it under
this Agreement, the Policy or the City Co~de.
i
i
During that hearing, Mr. Gleason stated that the wet weat~er had prevented correction of the
violations. The City Council passed a motion to provide an ad~itional 10 days, weather dependent, .
to bring items into compliance. Staff is to report back at the Ju~e 25th City Council meeting as to the
progress made for corrections.
As of the date of the report, the Developer has made s1,lbstantial progress towards corrections of
these violations: Silt fences have been properly anchored, the ditch between Shorewood Ponds and
Freeman Park has been established, and the streets have been cleaned.
Of the major items remaining are top-dressing and seeding of graded areas, and flushing of the storm
sewer system. Considering that it has continued to rain over the past week, the progress to bringing
the site into compliance has been significant.
Mr. Gleason has requested that he be heard before the City Council on Monday night. Mr. Gleason
is requesting that a portion of the letter of credit be returned to the lending institution, based upon
the work completed to date.

During the public hearing process conducted in consideration [of the Cub Foods proposal, several
residents stated concerns with regard to Lake Linden Drive. Cfoncerns voiced were with regard to
motorists speeding around the sharp curves, and the amOl~nt of cut through traffic present.
Attachment 1 is an excerpt from the half section maps which i indicates the right of way for Lake
Linden Drive.
Report on Lake Linden Drive
RE:
Lake Linden Drive is part of the Municipal State Aid (MSA) roadway system. As an MSA road,
funds collected by the State and held in account by the State, can be used to reconstruct and maintain
such roadways.
.
On August 24, 1992, the City Council passed a resolution requesting that that Minnesota
Department of Transportation review the roadwayfor a 20-mile, per hour speed limit. Unfortunately,
the street record for Lake Linden Drive contained page 1 of th~ . response letter by l\1N/DOT (refer
to Attachment 2). Regardless, the letter is clear that a 30-mile p;er hour limit is to remain, with speed
advisory signs for 20 miles per hour (as exists today). I
,
In 1993 the City's consulting engineer OSM .and Associates, I~c prepared a preliminary layout for
realignment of a portion of Lake Linden Drive (refer to AttacIkent 3). While this appears to be a
start, this does not address all of the issues. Items, which w9re not considered in the preliminary
design, are safe alignment of the entire roadway between TruqIc Highway 7 and Yellowstone Trail
and a safe means oftravel alongthe roadway for pedestrians. I
Recently, the Planning Commission has suggested that an open house style meeting be conducted to
receive further feedback from residents of the area, regarding Lake Linden Drive. The Planning
Commission suggested that either the City Councilor Planning Commission conduct such a meeting.
Staff concurs with this action. If found acceptable to the City Council, . the Planning Commission
could add this item to their proposed work schedule.

Dear Mr. Dixon,
At their meeting of August 24, 1992 the Shorewood city council
directed me to contact the Minnesota Department of Transportation
requesting a speed study be done on :yake Linden Drive between
Highway 7 and Yellowstone Trail. Lake Linden Drive is on Shorewood
Municipal State Aid system and is likely to be apriority to be
rebuilt in the next few years. In the meantime the City council
feels the very dangerous curve and increasing traffic demand a
review and a reduction in speed to perhaps 20 mph until the road is
reconstructed.
Please consider this a request for the above described speed study.
Thank you for your assistance in this very important matter of
public safety.
sincerely,

Re: Speed Zoning - Lake Linden Drive
City of Shorewood
.
Dear Mr. Hurm:
The speed zoning study for Lake Linden Drive requested in your September 14th letter
has been completed. Based on the study results and as discussed with you last Friday,
we have recommended authorization of the following speed limit for Lake Linden Drive:
30 mph -
between the intersection with Trunk Highway 7 and the intersection
with Yellowstone Trail
The study and recommended speed limit is currently being reviewed by MnjDOT's Traffic
Engineering Office in St. Paul which will make the final speed limit determination. As soon .
as the review has been completed, a formal speed limit authorization for Lake Linden
Drive will be issued to Shorewood.
Enclosed for your information is a copy of a radar speed sample obtained during the
study. The speed pattern revealed by the sample is a primary reason why we do not
believe the 20 mph speed limit suggested by the city would be a reasonable restriction.
(A correct speed limit will have a substantial percentage of voluntary compliance and
minimize the range of speed within the traffic flow. Both of these objectives are being met
by the inplace 30 mph speed limit.) In addition, we could find no indication from
Department of Public Safety accident records that existing speed patterns have resulted
in a high accident rate.

RE:
Merry Lane - Petition for Limited Parking Restriction
FILE NO.:
Central (Streets - Merry Lane)
.
Residents on Merry Lane (see Street Location map - Exhibit A, attached) have requested
parking restrictions for their street to alleviate problems associated with overflow boat
trailer parking from the Merry Lane public access. "No Parking" signs are in place for
the new. portion of the street, but do not include the cul-de-sac itself. The petition (see
Exhibit B) requests that the cul-de-sac be posted, and that residents begiven periodic
guest parking permits. Staff has suggested to the petitioners that the street be posted with
"No Boat Trailer Parking" signs. This would preclude the overflow parking while still
allowing residents or their guests to park on the street. The contact person for the petition
agrees with that recommendation.
Attachment C is a resolution ordering the posting of new signs for the' entire street.
Adoption of the resolution requires a simple majority vote by the Council.

. "-.<." -"""0",.- ;
Petition Request
We, the attached residential homeowners, whose properties are located on Merry Lane
and who share access to the residential cul-de-sac at the end of Merry Lane, do hereby
respectfully request the following:
1. That public boat trailer parking be prohibited in the above cul-de-sac; and
2. That homeowners with property along Meny Lane be issued parking pennits to
enable their guests to park on Merry Lane in front of their residence.
.
Background
The City of Shorewood and the DNR maintain the Christmas Lake public boat landing in
our neighborhood. The City has provided adequate parking for boat trailers near the boat
landing with a fixed number of spaces. This has served its purpose well for many years.
With the recent expansion of Merry Lane into our residential neighborhood, boaters have
discovered the new cul-de-sac and now many are occupying it with their boat trailers for
the entire day and into the evening. Frequently, but especially on nights and weekends,
we cannot access and use the cul-de-sac because it has become an overflow parking lot
for boaters using the public landing.
.
111 addition, both sides of Merry Lane in front of our residential property leading up to the
cul-de-sac is currently posted as a no-parking zone. TIns makes it difficult for our guests
to park near our homes when they come to visit.
Conclusion
We therefore have no guest parking on the street and cannot use tlle neighborhood cul-de-
sac. On the other hand, removal ofthe parking ban on Merry Lane would result in boat
trailers parked 011 Merry Lane in addition to the cul-de-sac.
We do not believe that the intention of the City was to use the cul-de-sac for overflow
boat trailer parking or to prevent our guests from parking in. front of our residence.
Accordingly, we request both a ban on boat trailers in the cul-de-sac and permits to allow
guests to park in front of our homes.
Thank you for your consideration.
