Our Golf Course Superintendent has informed me that the yearly increase in damage to our greens over the past few years, by a herd of now 10-11 deer, has reached a point where he no longer can maintain the normal playability of the greens which will adversely affect the retention of our golf members. It is an industry truism that a private golf course could have beautiful fairways, but if the greens are not up to industry standards the course will fail with the land converted to other uses. The deer damage the greens throughout the year by walking/running/stomping over them with their sharp hooves slicing the turf and indenting the surface, making it impossible to putt properly. We spend $8,000.00 each year to purchase flowers, etc., to improve the appearance of the golf course and surrounding areas. The deer consume a large portion of the flowers, which we have contended with, and is not a basis for our problem. The disappearance of flowers does not affect our operation. Minnetonka Country Club was established in 1916, with the present management in place since 1954. We are a commercial operation and the deer problem is critically affecting us. The City of Maple Plain, among others, has permitted programs to correct deer problems. We respectfully request the City of Shorewood to initiate whatever action is necessary to eliminate the problem. Minnetonka Country Club will, of course, be happy to assist in any manner possible. Sincerely, Minnetonka Country ~ssn., Inc. ~~SA--~_,/ ..... B. Witrak, President Housing Plan Housing Condition and Maintenance The LMACC Sub-Regional Housing Study, prepared in 1998 for the Lake Minnetonka Area Cooperating Cities, suggests the possibility of a uniform housing maintenance code for the participating communities as a means to protect the existing housing stock. Shorewood's housing condition survey suggests that housing maintenance problems may not be prevalent enough to warrant such action at this time. Nevertheless, the City may want to consider some type of passive "truth in housing" approach in the future. This type of regulation attempts to identify certain deficiencies in housing at the time of sale, putting buyers on notice of problems. The objective is to create an incentive for property sellers to improve maintenance conditions prior to the sale. Often more noticeable than the condition of structures is the outside maintenance of property. Shorewood has historically addressed problem sites on a complaint basis. Although this "neighborhood standard" method has worked reasonably well, it is recommended that local nuisance ordinances be reviewed and periodically updated. The City's spring cleanup event is also viewed as an effective tool for encouraging residents to maintain their property. In 1993 the City adopted a rental housing code that affected approximately 100 rental units in the city. This code establishes standards and a licensing procedure for all types of rental dwellings. The program has been successful in that a number of rental units were improved. The City has received no tenant complaints since the adoption of the code. Continuation of this effort is recommended. 12-99 For many years Shorewood has allocated a portion of its Community Development Block Grant funds for rehabilitation of substandard housing. Hennepin County administers this program. In 1995 and 1996 the City budgeted $8270 and $7031, respectively, to provide grants and low interest loans to people in need of assistance. In recent years the City has pooled its CDBG funds with other Hennepin County communities to more effectively address housing rehabilitation. Not only is it suggested that the program be continued, it is recommended that it and other assistance programs be better publicized through the City newsletter and information kiosks in the City offices.

CONVENE CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING DRAFT Mayor Love called the meeting to order at 7: 15 P.M. A. Roll Call Present: Mayor Love, Councilmembers Garfunkel, Lizee, Stover and Zerby; City Administrator Hurm; Finance Director Rolek; Planning Director Brad Nielson Absent: None . B. Review Agenda Mayor Love read the Agenda for December 6, 1999. The agenda was approved as submitted. 2. 7:15 P.M. - TRUTB IN TAXATION PUBLIC HEARING Mayor Love opened the Public Hearing. . Finance Director Rolek presented an overview of the process needed to develop the 2000 Operating Budget. The budget allocates funding to achieve priorities established by the City Council and to maintain quality programs in the City. Many factors and variables effect the preparation of the budget, while the City strives to continue to provide value in municipal services to the citizens of Shorewood. These services are divided into different funds. The General Fund, which includes the goals for improvements in infrastructure and equipment in maintaining the City, is expected to rise by approximately 4% from 1999 to 2000. In spite of the increased tax levy and legislative changes in property tax rates, Shorewood residents should expect a decrease in City taxes. Shorewood's tax rate is among the lowest 25% of cities within Hennepin County. The Water Fund has two subfunds- Water Operations and Water Debt Service. There is an increase this year in the Operations Fund due to the West End Watermain Loop project. For the first time since 1993, an increase of 4% is proposed in water rates for residents. Government agencies are encouraging City residents to conserve water. Because of this, a tiered usage plan for water consumption is being proposed for 2000. For example, residents could expect a typical quarterly change for 30,000 gallons of water *;.6\ CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES - DECEMBER 6, 1999 PAGE20F2 usage to increase from $51.50 to $53.25. Seventy-five thousand gallons of water usage would increase from approximately $120.75 to $127.00 in the year 2000 under the tiered plan. The Sewer Fund expects the Inflow and Infiltration Reduction Program will continue as well as the Lift Station Refurbishing Program at a rate of two lift stations being refurbished a year. Rolek also stated due to a reduction in treatment costs, sewer rates for residents will decrease by 7.69%. The Recycling Fund is expected to remain nearly the same in 2000 as it was in 1999. No increase is expected in residential recycling fees for residents. The Stormwater Management Fund includes an increase due to the funding for the Gideon Glen drainage project. Only the City's anticipated costs have been budgeted from this fund. Director Rolek stated he believed Shorewood residents were getting good value for services received from the City. . Mayor Love stated he would like to thank Director Rolek and staff for all the hard work that went into preparation of the budget. There were no public comments. The Public Hearing was closed. It was noted that action on the proposed budget and levy would take place at the December 13 council meeting. Lizee moved, Stover seconded, adjourning the Truth in Taxation Public Hearing at 7:40 P.M. Motion passed 5/0. 3. RECONVENE REGULAR MEETING RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED. .

FROM: Brad Nielsen DATE: 3 December 1999 RE: James Bruce Homes - Proposed Division/Combination FILE NO. 405(99.26) BACKGROUND Mr. James Bruce proposes to rearrange the lot line between Lots 5 and 6, Block 1 Mary Lake Woods. The lots are located at 24115 and 24075 Mary Lake Trail (see Site Location map - Exhibit A, attached). Mr. Bruce proposes to build a new home on the lot at 24115. The rearrangement is intended to ensure that additional side yard space is . maintained between it and any new home that may be built on 24075. The lots in question are zoned R-IA, Single-Family Residential and have an aggregate area of 2.03 acres, exclusive of the wetland on Lot 6. Upon approval of the rearrangement (shown on Exhibit B, attached) Lot 5 will have 48,236 square feet of area, and Lot 6 will have 40,019 square feet, exclusive of wetland. ANAL YSIS/RECOMMENDATION From a zoning perspective this request is quite simple. Both lots will still meet or exceed the minimum lot area and width requirements of the R-IA zoning district. The placement of the proposed home on Lot 5 is dictated by the topography of the property, and it is understandable that the buyer would want some additional space to the east of the house. There is one issue that must be resolved as part of this application. The original drainage and utility easements for the lots must be vacated and replaced with new ones along the n t.J PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER ~ . ,/a Memorandum Re: Bruce Division/Combination 3 December 1999 revised lot line. Exhibit C shows that all existing easements on the lots will be vacated and replaced with new ones. A public hearing has been scheduled for the 13 December City Council meeting to consider the easement vacation. It is recommended that the proposed division and combination be approved subject to the following: 1. The applicant must provide an up-to-date (within 30 days) title opinion for both lots for review by the City Attorney. 2. The applicant must provide deeds for the new easements. 3. The division/combination and the new easements must be recorded within 30 days of the applicant's receipt of the resolution approving the division/combination and easement vacation. .

HO-15 . 12-99 Introduction Shorewood has chosen to develop as a "bedroom community". The Land Use Plan points out that less than one percent of the city will be devoted to commercial use in the future, and industrial uses are not planned at all. As a predominantly residential community, housing is an important aspect of the Shorewood Comprehensive Plan. . Past planning efforts in Shorewood have focused on housing quality and maintaining the character of existing neighborhoods. Residential densities have historically been kept low to minimize the demand for public utilities and services. This has also resulted in low traffic volumes relative to other suburban communities in the metropolitan area. Over the past several years attention has been given to the lack of housing options for an increasing elderly population. The City's zoning regulations have been amended to address senior housing and two senior housing projects have since been approved. More recently Shorewood has joined with other Lake Minnetonka cities to address housing issues from a sub- regional perspective. This Chapter draws heavily from a report prepared in August, 1998, prepared by the Lake Minnetonka Area Cooperating Cities (LMACC). . As in the previous chapters of the Comprehensive Plan, this chapter first establishes goals and objectives relative to housing. Housing issues have been identified and policies formulated. The goals, objectives and policies are directed at the housing issues in the Housing Plan section of this Chapter. Background data relative to housing appears in the Appendix of the Comprehensive Plan. 12-99 HO-l Housing Goals and Objectives . . 12-99 Housing Goals Provide safe, healthy and quality housing that respects the natural environment of the community. Maintain the present variety of housing options and provide sufficient housing types, sizes and values to meet the needs of varying segments of the population. Maintain and strengthen, where necessary, the character of individual neighborhoods within the community. Address local and sub-regional housing issues through cooperative efforts with neighboring communities through organizations such as the Lake Minnetonka Area Cooperating Cities. Housing Objectives 1. Review local development regulations, and amend as necessary, to promote a balanced housing supply. 2. Make available to residents and property owners educational programs on such topics as renterlIandlord rights, home buying, home maintenance, etc. 3. Continue the City's rental housing license program to maintain current standards for rental housing. 4. Promote private sector maintenance, rehabilitation and redevelopment of existing properties through improved communication of available community services and financial assistance programs. 5. Develop a senior housing program that: a. Allows seniors to remain in their single-family homes. b. Provides a range of housing types, including step-down housing, senior apartments and assisted living housing, with initial emphasis being placed on step-down housing. HO-3 12-99 c. Establishes regulations that permit the construction of affordable senior housing while ensuring compatibility with existing residential neighborhoods. d. Identifies suitable sites for senior housing. e. Identifies and participates in support services for the elderly, e.g. transportation, social and recreational facilities, home maintenance and repair. HO-4 . . Housing Issues Housing Condition and Maintenance . The City of Shorewood commissioned a Housing Condition Inventory in 1996 that concluded that the "vast majority of the houses surveyed were rated as being in average condition or better". Nevertheless, the study indicated that a number of homes in the community exhibited maintenance problems. While the City offers rehabilitation assistance in conjunction with Hennepin County, problem properties are increasingly being improved through private owner initiative. In 1993 the City adopted a rental housing code that established an inspection and maintenance program for the city's rental housing stock. Character of Existing Neighborhoods . As mentioned in the Land Use Chapter, the preservation and enhancement of existing neighborhoods is an important element in establishing a sense of "community". In the past the greatest concern expressed by residents was splitting large properties into small lots. More recently the concern has shifted to the redevelopment of older neighborhoods where modest homes on smaller lots are being replaced by very large homes that may be out of scale with the neighborhood. The challenge for the City is to balance the character of existing neighborhoods with the desire of residents to improve their properties. Variety of Housing Types Like other Lake Minnetonka communities, Shorewood has historically been dominated by single-family residential development. Since the mid-1980's the City has created areas where a variety of lot sizes exist. Other than a limited number of twinhomes and townhouses, the number of multiple-family residential units in Shorewood is extremely limited. This concern is somewhat mitigated by the fact that the south lake area as a whole exhibits a fairly substantial variety in housing types. While there may be future opportunities to 12-99 HO-5 broaden the variety of housing types in Shorewood, they are quite limited due to existing land use patterns and a rapidly diminishing amount of undeveloped land remaining. Senior Housing Based upon a Senior Housing Needs Study, prepared in 1991, Shorewood has actively attempted to encourage the development of senior housing projects in the city over the past several years. Concerns have been expressed by some area residents that current regulations relative to senior housing need to be revised to better address the suitability of various sites for senior housing. It has also been suggested that the 1991 study should be updated. Affordable HousinglLivable Communities Participation Although the City of Shorewood has elected to participate in the Livable Communities program, numerous factors, most notably high land prices, serve as barriers to the creation of affordable housing. Minimal job opportunities and lack of transit service complicate this issue. Shorewood has chosen to focus its efforts on affordable senior housing. . . 12-99 HO-6 Housing Policies Maintenance, Rehabilitation and Redevelopment 1. Programs for housing structural condition maintenance shall be pursued to protect the health and safety of residents and ensure stability of neighborhoods within the community. 2. The City shall provide information on educational programs for homeowners to encourage maintenance and improvement of residential properties. . 3. Maintenance problems and code violations shall be addressed to improve and strengthen the character of neighborhoods and avoid spreading the impact of deterioration. 4. Substandard housing units shall be rehabilitated whenever possible. 5. Financial assistance for the rehabilitation of substandard housing units within the community shall be provided as funding sources and market conditions permit. 6. Residential redevelopment of substandard housing within the community shall be encouraged whenever compatible with adjacent land uses and economically feasible. . Compatibility 1. Low density residential neighborhoods within the community shall be protected from encroachment or intrusion of incompatible higher density residential land uses, as well as nonresidential use categories, through adequate buffering and separation. 2. The character of individual residential neighborhoods shall be respected and maintained. 3. Residential developments shall be protected from and located away from sources of adverse environmental impacts including noise, air and visual pollution. 12-99 HO-7 4. Home occupations, commercial and other nonresidential activities shall be minimized and are not to be evident within residential neighborhoods. 5. Accessory buildings within the community shall be of a compatible design and size to maintain a residential character. These buildings shall be limited to residential use related activities. 6. Outdoor storage is to be minimized and in those instances when it is acceptable, it shall be conducted in an orderly, confined and limited fashion. 7. Violations of property maintenance standards that infringe upon residential neighborhood quality, pose public health and safety problems and threaten neighboring property values shall be aggressively eliminated. Variety of Housing 1. Shorewood's housing needs, as well as the needs of the overall Lake Minnetonka sub- region, shall be addressed by providing and maintaining a variety of housing types, styles . and values. 2. The emergence of a polarizing age distribution within the Lake Minnetonka sub-region is to be prevented through the provision of diverse housing that reflects life-cycle stages and economic considerations. 3. A range of property values and rent rates within the Lake Minnetonka sub-regional housing stock shall be encouraged as a means of diversifying the population and sustaining individual communities in the area. 4. Adequate living space and fully utilized housing are to be encouraged and promoted through the provision of a range of choices among housing types and values throughout the Lake Minnetonka sub-region. 5. Financial assistance programs for first time home buyers shall be utilized, as market . conditions and funding sources allow, to diversify the population of the Lake Minnetonka sub-region. 6. The development of housing for special needs populations (e.g., elderly, physically challenged) within the Lake Minnetonka sub-region shall be supported by financial assistance programs that may be available as funding sources and market conditions allow. New Development 1. New residential development within the Lake Minnetonka sub-region will be guided with attention to addressing the future needs of the area's population with regard to life-cycle housing. 12-99 HO-8 2. The development of alternative housing types (e.g., twinhomes, townhouses, multiple- family) shall be encouraged within the Lake Minnetonka sub-region communities to supplement single-family homes and diversify the housing options in the area, giving consideration to local market demands. 3. Housing types and development techniques that conserve land and increase efficiency are to be encouraged throughout the Lake Minnetonka sub-region. 4. To the degree possible, integration of housing types or styles within a development shall be allowed when applicable as long as the total number of units conforms to the prescribed density for the total development. 5. All new housing within the city shall adhere to the highest community design, planning and construction standards. . 6. Design and planning innovations shall be encouraged for the development of housing units within the community. 7. Innovation in subdivision design and housing development shall be encouraged within the Lake Minnetonka sub-region through the use of devices such as cluster and planned unit development concepts. 8. Residential development shall be restricted or prohibited on floodplains, shorelands, wetlands, and other natural features that perform important protection functions in their natural state. . 12-99 HO-9 Housing Plan Housing Condition and Maintenance . The LMACC Sub-Regional Housing Study, prepared in 1998 for the Lake Minnetonka Area Cooperating Cities, suggests the possibility of a uniform housing maintenance code for the participating communities as a means to protect the existing housing stock. Shorewood's housing condition survey suggests that housing maintenance problems may not be prevalent enough to warrant such action at this time. Nevertheless, the City may want to consider some type of passive "truth in housing~' approach in the future. This type of regulation attempts to identify certain deficiencies in housing at the time of sale, putting buyers on notice of problems. The objective is to create an incentive for property sellers to improve maintenance conditions prior to the sale. Often more noticeable than the condition of structures is the outside maintenance of property. Shorewood has historically addressed problem sites on a complaint basis. Although this "neighborhood standard" method has worked reasonably well, it is recommended that local nuisance ordinances be reviewed and periodically updated. The City's spring cleanup event is also viewed as an effective tool for encouraging residents to maintain their property. . In 1993 the City adopted a rental housing code that affected approximately 100 rental units in the city. This code establishes standards and a licensing procedure for all types of rental dwellings. The program has been successful in that a number of rental units were improved. The City has received no tenant complaints since the adoption of the code. Continuation of this effort is recommended. For many years Shorewood has allocated a portion of its Community Development Block Grant funds for rehabilitation of substandard housing. Hennepin County administers this program. Over the past years the City has spent $ to provide grants and low interest loans to people in need of assistance. Not only is it suggested that the program be continued, it is recommended that it and other assistance programs be better publicized through the City newsletter and information kiosks in the City offices. 12-99 HO-ll Variety of Housing Options Shorewood's housing stock consists primarily of large lot, single-family homes. While the City's development regulations have historically encouraged this type of housing, a very strong market for larger single-family homes has had an even greater influence on housing in Shorewood. The City has attempted to introduce some variety in lot size, housing type and value over the past twenty years. For example, in the mid 1980' s the Near Mountain development in the southeast area of the city was approved for a mixture of single-family homes on lots ranging from one quarter to three quarters of an acre in size. The project also included quadraminiums and townhouses in the original plan. Citing a very strong market for single-family homes, the developer ultimately requested that the quads and townhouses be eliminated from the project, resulting in 70 fewer units by the time it was completed. Similarly, houses in the Covington Vine Ridge neighborhood were built larger and more expensive than originally suggested by the developer, this despite quarter acre lot sizes. Some variety of housing types was achieved in the 1990' s. A number of two-family dwellings . were built in the Waterford area and on Lawtonka Drive, west of Timber Lane. The Seasons senior housing project offers low maintenance twinhomes for residents who qualify under Federal Fair Housing Act guidelines. Shorewood Ponds, currently under construction, provides "step down" single-family, attached cottages in four-unit buildings as an option to seniors 62 years of age and older. Although these projects have increased the variety of housing types in Shorewood to some degree, housing values remain high relative to metropolitan area standards, even though higher densities have been allowed. As illustrated in the Appendix Chapter, housing values in Shorewood have risen steadily over the years. Conservatively, the average construction value (not including the lot) in Shorewood was $272,000 in 1998. To date that average has increased to $308,000 in 1999. Given the limited amount of land remaining for development in the city, the relatively high cost of utilities and often soil correction, the high value of land in the Lake Minnetonka area, and a seemingly insatiable market for upper end housing, this trend is . anticipated to continue. Future opportunities for increasing housing variety in Shorewood are viewed as limited. Consequently, maintenance of the existing mixture of housing will be important. In this regard the City's policy of keeping house sizes proportionate to lot size should continue to be implemented. This simply means that smaller lots will accommodate smaller houses. Even though Shorewood by itself may not be consistent with regional goals relative to housing, when viewed as part of a larger South Lake Minnetonka community a relatively traditional model town emerges. Excelsior serves as the downtown core, with multiple-family housing and small, urban lots. Shorewood, Tonka Bay and Deephaven exist as surrounding suburbs with larger lots and lower densities. Senior Housing In the early 1990' s the City recognized that there was shortage of housing options in Shorewood for senior citizens that could not, or chose not to, remain in their single- 12-99 HO-12 family homes. A study prepared for the City in 1991 demonstrated that a market exists for senior housing in the Lake Minnetonka area. In response to an increasing elderly population, and recognizing the importance of keeping senior citizens in the community, the City set a goal to promote the development of safe, healthy and affordable housing options for seniors. In conjunction with that study Shorewood updated its zoning regulations to address senior housing. It was determined that the impact of senior housing on streets, parks and utility services was less than that of other types of residential development. Consequently, senior housing is now allowed to be built at somewhat higher densities than otherwise provided by existing zoning. The City also reduced the park dedication fees and sewer connection charges for senior housing in order to minimize development costs. . The City then actively sought developers of senior housing to build in Shorewood. Response was limited, however, due to several factors: 1) limited funding resources; 2) relatively high land costs in the area; 3) unavailability of city water; and 4) conflict with many residents' desire to retain a low density character throughout the City. Nevertheless, two senior housing projects, the Seasons and Shorewood Ponds, have resulted in 24 units and 62 units of senior housing respectively. In administering the current zoning regulations a number of issues have arisen. For example, there is some question, given land and development costs, as to the feasibility of developing senior housing on land zoned for one-acre lots (R-IA zoning district). Also, the densities allowed in the R-IC district are higher than what is practical to accommodate the "step-down", single-level housing that seems to be favored by local seniors. Finally, the site analysis used to identify sites suitable for senior housing is considerably outdated. Some land previously considered as suitable has since been developed, and recent utility extensions may suggest new sites that should be examined. . While the number of sites remaining may be quite limited, there may still be some opportunities to provide additional senior housing. In this regard the City should: . Update its zoning regulations, addressing the issue of reduced densities and focusing on the most suitable sites . Update the site analysis study tt;) identify the remaining sites that may be suitable for senior housing . Involve neighborhoods early on in the site analysis process . Review the 1991 Senior Housing Needs Study and consider revisiting the issue of senior housing using current and Census 2000 information Many seniors wish to stay in their homes as long as possible. Their ability to do so is enhanced by services provided within the community. For example, meal programs are administered through the South Shore Senior Community Center. Transit services such as Metro Mobility and Dial-a-Ride have been improved in the last couple of years. The City will continue to work with surrounding communities and various agencies to ensure that these services remain available to seniors. 12-99 HO-13 Housing Programs The Sub-Regional Housing Study prepared for the Lake Minnetonka Area Cooperating Cities (LMACC) in August 1998 lists numerous housing programs that are either in use or available in the Lake Minnetonka area. Descriptions and information on these programs should be made available through the City offices. The City will serve as a resource in connecting people interested in these programs with the agencies that administer them. Sub-regional Cooperation Just as Shorewood pools its Community Development Block Grant funds into the Hennepin County program for housing rehabilitation assistance. the most effective way to address other housing issues is through cooperative efforts with other Lake Minnetonka communities. In this regard the City should commit to active participation in the Lake Minnetonka Area Cooperating Cities. Staffing and future funding resources should be allocated to furthering the work of the LMACC in the following areas: . Identification and resolution of housing issues within a sub-regional context . Coordination of efforts to address the supply and demand for housing diversity in the Lake Minnetonka area . Expansion of local housing initiatives to a sub-regional level . Establishment of legal joint powers cooperative agreements to pursue mutual goals in housing . Specific areas where a group effort may be most effective inlcude: 1. Continue to work with the Metropolitan Council Transit Organization (MCTO) to improve transit in the Lake Minnetonka area 2. Provide education programs for residents and property owners on renterllandlord rights. homebuyer education, how-to seminars for home maintenance, etc. . 3. Coordinate support services available through community religious organizations such as day care. family mentoring, food shelves, donation programs, etc. with those households in the LMACC sub-region most in need of assistance. One of the initiatives suggested in the LMACC Study is the consideration of a sub-regional Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) as a means of creating a coordinated effort in the implementation of housing plans. Such an entity could also oversee the creation of or rehabilitation of affordable housing in the Lake Minnetonka area. If housing is to be addressed on a sub-regional level the idea of one lead agency has merit. It is recommended that this approach be one of the first studies done by the LMACC. 12-99 HO-14 Chapter Summary As a predominantly residential community, housing and issues related to housing are an important aspect of Shorewood's Comprehensive Plan. Following are the City's goals relative to housing: Provide safe, healthy and quality housing that respects the natural environment of the community. Maintain the present variety of housing options and provide sufficient housing types, sizes and values to meet the needs of varying segments of the population. . Maintain and strengthen, where necessary, the character of individual neighborhoods within the community. Address local and sub-regional housing issues through cooperative efforts with neighboring communities through organizations 'such as the Lake Minnetonka Area Cooperating Cities. Following are recommendations intended to achieve these goals: 1. In the future consider adopting truth in housing standards to create an incentive for property sellers to improve maintenance conditions prior to sale. . 2. Continue to address nuisances on a neighborhood complaint basis. 3. Continue the City's annual spring cleanup event to encourage residents to maintain their property. 4. Enforce the City's rental housing licensing program for all types of rental dwellings. 5. Publicize housing grant and assistance programs through the City newsletter and information kiosks in the City offices. 6. Maintain the existing mixture of housing types and values. 12-99 HO-15 7. Update the City's zoning regulations, addressing the issue of reduced densities and focusing on the most suitable sites for such housing. 8. Prepare an updated senior housing needs study and site suitability analysis using current and Census 2000 information. 9. Explore ways to improve transit and other support services that allow seniors to remain in their single-family homes. 10. Continue to participate with other Lake Minnetonka communities to address housing issues from a sub-regional perspective. 11. Explore the pros and cons of a sub-regional Housing and Redevelopment Authority as a means to more effectively implement housing programs. 12-99 HO-16 . . ~ .- mI ~ November, 1999 Excelsior Area Chamber of Commerce Serving Excelsior, Greenwood, Shorewood, and Tonka Bay Important holiday dates and deadlines: November 15th - Deadline for getting exterior holiday lights on buildings.

Fundraising and planning for the proposed Excelsior Area War Memorial are going well, according to Ken Koehnen, local resi- dent and the project's driver and coordinator. Having recendy negotiated an agreement with the American Legion to list on the memorial the names of veterans who were killed in enemy action, Koehnen now plans to focus his considerable energies on securing $9,000.00 needed to build the memorial. To date, he has collected $1,500.00. Koehnen hopes the City of Excelsior and Parks and Recreations councils will approve his first choice for a memorial site: in Excelsior Commons at the conver- gence of the sidewalks just west of the Port of Excelsior... "so people can walk around it and really see it." If the remaining $7,500 can be committed by january, Koehnen believes the memorial will be ready for its debut onjuly 4,2000. A special dedication cer- emony will be planned in conjunction with the Fourth of July celebrations at the Commons. The Excelsior Historical Society helped Koehnen doc- ument the names, ranks and service branches of 95% of the war veterans who will be listed.

To: Mayor and City Council From: James C. Hurm City Administrator f~ H ;iij J Date: December 8, 1999 Re: Restructuring of the front office . As the Council is aware Patti Helgesen, Planning Assistant has indicated she will be leaving the city around the first of the year. Planning Director, Brad Nielsen has talked with me and Pamela Helling about Pamela moving from the receptionist position to the planning assistant position. Pamela will keep the duties of web page maintenance and development. This is acceptable to all parties. Further, I have talked with Twila Grout, Secretary of Parks and Public Works about moving to the receptionist position. She has indicated willingness to do so. She will keep the duties of the park secretary. . The remaining question then is what to do with Twila's position. I talked with Director of Public Works, Larry Brown several times about how to better meet his needs. We feel that he has need for more technical assistance. He will be drafting a job description for a technical assistant and is communicating with cities with such a position at this time. We hope to be able to bring a job description and further details to the council by January. The position would be funded from the sewer and water utility funds as well as the general fund. That leaves us with a need for relief and assistance for the receptionist/secretary . We are proposing that a 20-hour a week position be created as a part-time receptionist/secretary. The funding for this position would come from the amount that had been budgeted for Twila's full-time position for the year 2000. The funds left over could go toward the technical assistant position. The request is for a motion authorizing the creation of a part-time receptionist/secretary position and authorizing advertisement for it. 1F1f ( l ,'" CITY OF SHOREWOOD Position: ReceptionistJPark Secretary Objective and Scope: To perform secretarial, clerical and general front-desk duties.

Hurm, City Administrator Date: December 10, 1999 Re: Preliminary Grant Applications to the Minnesota Board of Government Innovation and Cooperation . Enclosed for your review are three preliminary grant applications and a summary of requirements. They need to be delivered to the Board by Friday, December 17. I will be working on improving the pre-application narratives between now and December 15. I ask that the City Council review them and let me know if in fact they should be submitted. 1. This application is for funding for the Gideon Glen stormwater management project. This project has been included in Shorewood's Capital Improvement Program for many years. This application dovetails with the application recently submitted to the Metropolitan Council for another grant program. . 2. The South Lake Minnetonka Vision For a New Millenium- The idea for this project came from a leadership meeting sponsored by the Excelsior Area Chamber of Commerce attended by Woody Love and representatives from other cities and civic organizations. Representative Barb Sykora encouraged us to submit an application. 3. Excelsior/South Lake Minnetonka Joint Fire and Rescue Service Start-Up--If the five cities accomplish the establishment of a Joint Powers Board in early 2000, clearly some financial assistance will be needed for a facilities and equipment study, for general consulting services, and for recruitment for a full-time Chief/Administrator. This application requests financial assistance for those items. 4. I have been asked by the lake area administrators to consider drafting a grant preliminary application for a Lake Minnetonka Area Housing Market Study. This request came just last week so I have not had an opportunity to draft pre- application yet. The intent would be to go beyond the housing study that was 'Aii Page 2 accomplished last year. It would include a needs analysis of housing in the whole lake area. I would like direction, if I am able to pull the pre-application together, if the City Council should have any objection to its submittal. Each of these pre-applications have been drafted to meet the requirements established by the Board for their grant application process. That is why the material is enclosed on the objectives of the various grant types. Any suggestions on improving the narrative and direction from council members is appreciated. . . Overview - What Type Of Projects Is The Board Seeking The competitive grant programs offered by the Board of Government Innovation and Cooperation fund pilot projects to improve the effectiveness or efficiency of public services. Based on the statutory scoring criteria, certain project characteristics are likely to increase the overall score of a project. A project that includes all of these characteristics has the best chance of being ftmded. The Board is seeking projects that: . . . . . . are based on highly innovative ideas that have not previously been implemented in Minnesota; will require cooperation and collaboration between two or more local units of government;! will improve the quality, effectiveness or efficiency of an existing public service; will develop an improved service benefiting other local governments, and will provide a product (useful data, a blueprint or quantified savings) that will be of value for other local officials andlor state agency staff; provides a clear rationale for why this project should be fimded by the state, as opposed to using local revenues to fund it (i.e. win there be a statewide benefit if this project is successful?); and includes a budget that demonstrates a strong financial or in-kind commitment by the applicant and clearly states why state financial assistance is needed for the project to move forward. . . The list of projects previously fimded by the Board (see page 29) may help you understand the type of projects that are likely to be funded. However, local officials should avoid proposing identical projects. If a project has previously been funded by the Board, the Board may be less likely to ftmd an identical proposal unless an applicant can explain how its project will differ from the original project. Collaboration With A State Agency Is Encouraged The Board encourages local governplents to collaborate with state agencies in the development of their projects. The primary goals of the Board's competitive grants are to fund pilot projects that: 1) will benefit other local governments throughout the state, and 2) are consistent with statewide efforts to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of public services. Given these goals, state agencies offer a unique perspective on how a local project could be developed in a manner that will maximize its benefit for other jurisdictions. The Board encourages local governments to include a state agency as a partner in its collaborative. If a state agency is a partner to an application, the applicant may want to include a letter from the agency head explaining why he or she believes this project will have a positive statewide benefit. While collaborations with state agencies are encouraged, the Board recognizes that there are potential local government innovations that may not warrant state agency participation. By encouraging collaboration with state agencies, the Board is not requiring that a state agency be.a partner for a project to be eligible for funding. Furthermore, a local unit of government must be the lead applicant for all projects. Projects that qualify for other state grant programs are discouraged The Legislature has authorized numerous categorical grant programs for a variety of public purposes. While Board of Government Innovation and Cooperation funds may be used for projects that also qualify for a state categorical grant program, the applicant must make a compelling case in the project narrative stating why the categorical grant program will not provide sufficient fimding to meet the needs of the proposal. ! A "local unit of government" is defined as a county, city, school district, town, special taxing district or an association of local governments. 2 MINNESOTA BOARD OF GOVERNMENT INNOvATION AND COOPERATION "". ..Notice of Grant Availability ,-.. ..,..- :;..,. . .. The Minnesota Board of Government Innovation and Cooperation announces the availability of grants for local units of governments and affiliated organizations.

State what other sources of funding have been considered by the local llllits of government to implement the project and explain why it is not possible to undertake and complete the project without assistance from the Board. ~, The Board is particularly interested in seeking applications which: . propose an innovative idea for: 1) cooperative planning; 2) a service budget management model; or 3) a service sharing pilot project. An innovative idea includes an activity which has not been previously funded by the Board and is not already being implemented within the state. If the application proposes a project that is similar to an initiative that has already been implemented in the state, the pre-application narrative may include a discussion as to how the proposed project differs from similar initiatives that have already been implemented and/or why grant funds should be used for this initiative; and/or . . focus on improving the quality, effectiveness or efficiency of an existing public service; and/or . include a state agency as a partner to the project All eligible Pre-Applications will be evaluated and ranked using the following statutory point scoring system. Points (73) Criteria 15 The extent to which the pre-application demonstrates creative thinking and intergovernmental cooperation. . 20 The extent to which the proposed project is likely to improve the quality of the service and to have benefits for other local governments ( i.e. the extent to which the project is replicable). 20 The extent to which the pre-application reflects the statutory goal of the grant program. 15 The merit of the proposed project and the extent to which it warrants the state's financial participation. When considering the merit of the proposed project, the Board will focus on: (1) the extent to which the proposed project will improve service outcomes; and (2) the ability of the applicant to define how the improvement in service outcomes will be measured. '" .J The expressed willingness of an applicant to repay grant funds if the project successfully reduces the operating costs for the participating local governments. To receive the three additional points, the project must have the potential to reduce operating costs and the applicant must be willing to repay to the Board a percentage of all savings based on the percent of fimding provided by the Board. The maximum amollllt of repayment shall not exceed the total am01.mt of the grant. 11 A. .

The City of Tonka Bay will playa projected role in project planning and education. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District will be involved with project planning, potential class sharing, technical assistance, and education. PROPOSED PROJECT The Gideon Glen Project will be a showcase collaborative ecology effort to address multiple facets of an environmentally sensitive area along County Road 19 which runs between Shorewood and Tonka Bay. The project area is undeveloped, heavily wooded with wetlands and water courses and is about 6+ acres in size. It is encountering increasing development pressures. The various facets of the landscape preservation and restoration project include: . Acquiring public control of land through purchase, conservation easement or other means; . Improving water quality (non-point source pollution and runoff from County Road 19 and Tonka Bay's Smithtown Crossing Shopping Center area) through stormwater ponds and natural wetlands, to control rate of runoff, siltation and non-point source pollution into Gideon's Bay and Manitou Harbor of Lake Minnetonka; . Restoring and enhancing of regional wetlands areas; . Preserving approximately three acres of old growth MaplelBasswood forest; . Preserving historical site-The Peter Gideon historical marker is located in the project area (vicinity of the development of the "Wealthy" apple). . Environmental education-In working with neighbors, senior groups, local environmentalists and schools, an environmental educational facet will be developed which may include videos, tours, signage, cross easements for parking at current parking lots, a possible trail and boardwalk with educational signage and kiosk, Minnetonka School District#276's "Wetland Watch" program will include this area in their education program and report at the Shorewood and Tonka Bay's televised City Councils' meetings. · Monitoring of wetland quality-The "Wetland Watch" program of School District #276 would expand their program to monitor wetland quality before, during and after the project. · Improving bio-diversity through wetland plantings, forestry management. This project is important because it addresses a problem which faces many municipal jurisdictions in some way. That is, how do you approach sub-regional, multi-jurisdiction, watershed problems. This project will be a model for other jurisdictions to emulate. It will involve not only the applicants, but other jurisdictions in cooperatively addressing problems to the benefit of each agency rather than simply doing nothing. Other jurisdictions being approached to assist in this project in addition to the Minnesota Board on Government Innovation and Cooperation are: . · The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (The district board committed to a partnership on the general project concept at their October 28, 1999 meeting.) Their contribution can be cost sharing, in kind and cash, technical assistance, education. . Metropolitan Council's Metro-environment Partnership Program . Hennepin County Department of Environmental Services and Highway Department (project planning, technical assistance, cost sharing) . Department of Natural Resources (project planning, technical assistance, cost sharing, education) . Metro Greenways Program (project planning, cost sharing) . Minnesota Land Trust (project planning) . Board on Water and Soil Resources (project planning, technical assistance) . Minnesota Historical Society (project planning, cost sharing, technical assistance, education) . The Shorewood Land Conservation and Environment Committee, a citizen-based advisory committee to the Shorewood City Council considers this a top community priority, and will be directly involved in the project development and implementation. The goal of the project is to promote water quality, public education and to improve water quality in the Gideon Glen regional wetlands area through a multi- jurisdictional, collaborative approach which can be replicated in other jurisdictions throughout the state. The objectives of the Gideon Glen project are to: . Reduce current and prevent future non-point source pollution and sedimentation from the sub-watershed into Lake Minnetonka; . Provide wetland restoration and enhancement; . address water quality problems for a sub-watershed where water runs through several jurisdictions and into Lake Minnetonka; . Provide a visible example (along County Road 19) of a successful, collaborative effort, and provide public educational opportunities for a wetland and mature Maple/Basswood forest area; and . Address water quality and quantity issues by providing regional ponding. . Implement local water management plans of Shorewood and Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (education, water quality goals); . Conduct performance monitoring activities for Phosphorus, sedimentation, removal in accordance with NURP standards, Interim Strategy for Urban Stormwater Design and local water management plans; . Provide inter-agency efforts for water quality public education. . The total estimated cost for the project is $795,000. The breakdown is as follows: .

BENEFIT Many municipal jurisdictions are likely to have very important sub-watershed district projects in the Capital Improvement Programs for years. There simply is not a good funding mechanism to undertake such projects. It is especially difficult to address such projects which are located in several municipalities. This project will be a model collaborative effort using the joint resources of a number of agencies and jurisdictions to accomplish the stated goals. The especially unique element to this project is the public education and monitoring effort. We will work with the Minnetonka School District in this effort. The project itself and associated signage will be along Highway 19, a very busy county highway through the cities of Tonka Bay, Shorewood and Excelsior. D. THE NEED FOR STATE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Other funding sources available to the project hrrgely emphasize land and physical improvements. A grant from the Minnesota Board of Government Innovation and . Cooperation will be used largely for planning, education, evaluation and monitoring activities. Early commitment from the Board will be a great impetus in the applicants' efforts to coordinate the financial resources that are necessary to accomplish the project. . i I i '0 18 o . ,L-I~ ~ . .IL)"j ~; t .~ - r 12.

PROPOSED APPLICANTS The City of Excelsior, City of Greenwood, City of Shorewood, City of Tonka Bay, City of Deephaven, the Excelsior Area Chamber of Commerce, and many other civic organizations in the South Lake Minnetonka area will be asked to participate in the process. . Although there are a number of small cities and the South Lake Minnetonka area, there is a long history of cooperative efforts. Some examples are: . . The South Lake Minnetonka Public Safety Department offers police service to Excelsior, Greenwood, Shorewood and Tonka Bay. . Those cities are being joined by the City of Deephaven in establishing a South Lake Minnetonka Fire and Rescue Department. . The five cities have jointly built the South Shore Senior Community Center. . A collaborative of interested individuals from the five South Lake Cities have been meeting for two years to address various issues relating to youth. They are currently working on establishing a skateboard park. . An organization of City Administrators was established eight years ago, entitled Lake Minnetonka Area Cooperating Cities. There is a constant effort within this group to find ways to work together to improve disaster preparedness, training, and many other areas. Although the cities in the South Lake area have a solid history of working together, more and more it is taking the efforts of civic organizations, non-profit groups, church groups, and individuals to address community problems. It is important therefore to include everyone in an overall South Lake visioning and planning process. B. PROPOSED PROJECT Society is changing. Change will come to the South Lake Minnetonka area whether we are ready for it or not. We can develop a joint vision and prepare ourselves in a connected fashion for the New MiIlenium or be left behind, fragmented and unprepared. The Minnetonka School District just completed a strategic planning process. The entire South Lake Minnetonka area is within the Minnetonka School District. The City of Shorewood has indicated an intent to begin a strategic planning process during the year 2000. This project would involve the cities, other government jurisdictions, non-profit organizations, churches and citizens in identifying a community vision that can be shared by the entire South Lake Minnetonka area. To have a shared vision and values to bind organizations together and working on common pursuits, it is important to "have a vision of the cathedral as each organization mixes its share of the mortar." A number of goals will then be set, consistent with the vision, which will get each city and organization pulling together. It is important to have identified for the whole South Lake area a joint vision, key values, and areas for collaborative action before cities and organizations plan as separate entities. The steps of the process are anticipated to be as follows: 1. Come to an initial agreement on a direction, on what we hope to accomplish. Representatives of the cities, key civic organizations and churches will be invited to participate in this step. . 2. Solidify the process, acquire funding to undertake the process, and undertake an area-wide effort to encourage organizations and individuals to participate. It is important at this stage to receive commitments from organizations to participate in the process and to work together toward accomplishing the outcomes. 3. Vision and value development. Undertake several well-publicized meetings to establish a vision and values under which decisions should be made. 4. Undertake a strategic planning process including: . Scanning the South Lake environment and selecting key issues to be dealt with. . . Formulating goals for each key issue. . Analyzing each issue and developing a list of related community strengths and weaknesses. . Developing strategies, taking into account identified strengths and weaknesses. . Implementing strategies together using public and private resources. . Feedback-Have a series of public meetings to build energy for change and to make mid-course corrections. 5. Action Planning-Build on the organizations' commitments to work together toward the outcomes and to take the South Lake vision and plan into account when each city and organization are doing their action plans. 6. ActionlImplementation in a collaborative fashion. 7. Evaluation Process-measure outcomes, and make corrections. c. BENEFIT The benefits of such a multi-jurisdictional, multi-sector, visioning and strategic planning process are obvious. The end result should be not only the municipalities increasing cooperative efforts, but the private and non-profit sectors will be included in efforts to address issues which have traditionally been addressed only by government. . Clearly during the process the question will be raised as to why there are so many small cities in the area. It is likely that a recommendation may be to devise new strategies for consolidating the provision of services. Each of the cities which are completely separate politically, yet closely bound socially and by geography, plan for the needs of their cities independently. It is important to have a South Lake Minnetonka area vision and strategic plan which each of the cities can take into account during their planning efforts and in which each of the South Lake area organizations can keep in mind in their organizational planning. D. THE NEED FOR STATE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE . Each city and organization has their own priorities and fiscal restraints. Such a project cannot be undertaken without the financial assistance of an organization such as the Minnesota Board of Government Innovation and Cooperation which encourages such collaborative, multi-sector planning efforts through planning grants. It is estimated that consulting services, supplies, materials and public relations will cost $60,000. $10,000 of it can be offered through in-kind contributions of the various cities and organizations' staff time.

PRE-APPLICATION NARRATIVE EXCELSIOR/SOUTH LAKE MINNETONKA JOINT FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICE START-UP PROPOSED APPLICANTS The cities of Excelsior, Greenwood, Deephaven, Shorewood, and Tonka Bay are currently negotiating details of a governance structure for a five-city Excelsior/South Lake Minnetonka Fire and Rescue Department. The entire area has been served by the Excelsior Fire Department for over 100 years. Each of the cities has contracted with the City of Excelsior for the service. PROPOSED PROJECT In 1999 a Special Fire Review Committee was established with representatives from each of the cities to address the needs of the Excelsior Fire Department going into the 2181 Century. The committee examined several major factors effecting the operation and maintenance of the Excelsior Fire Department including fire fighter membership and recruiting, response to medical calls, potential alternative emergency medical services, age and capability of equipment and station, and an in-depth study of costs of the department when compared to similar fire departments. The final report of the committee, dated May 25, 1999, included the following: . The needs of the entire service area should be considered above the needs of each individual city. . Rather than contracting with the City of Excelsior for service, the Cities should consider a united governing and ownership structure which might better assure a common vision and jointly address department needs. . Begin studying alternatives for refurbishing or replacing the current inadequate fire station. . Consider full-time professional management for our volunteer paid on-call department. . Educate citizens on the needs of the department. . Initiate a program to recruit and retain paid on-call fire fighters and to assure adequate response to daytime and rescue calls. Each of the five cities accepted the report and indicated they were willing to continue to participate in an effort to address these recommendations. Since August of 1999 a committee of the mayors and representatives of each of the cities have been meeting to address these issues. It is their intent to have a draft joint powers agreement prepared for the cities to consider by the spring of 2000. The joint powers entity will need assistance initially in three ways: 1. Consulting services will be needed for the initial establishment of the joint powers governing board. Assistance will be needed in the establishment of procedures and bylaws, identification of priorities, and with strategic planning and implementation of recommendations of the Special Fire Review Committee. It is estimated that the cost of such consulting assistance is $50,000. 2. Assistance will be needed for a departmental human resources analysis and full-time Chief/Administrator recruitment effort. The estimated cost is $15,000. . 3. Recommendation 2.c. of the final report of the Special Fire Review Committee states: "Begin the process of examination of alternatives for an adequate fire station. Determine the basic needs 11 Examine alternatives and costs for each one (1) Build and Refurbish (2) One or two stations" It is important that this recommendation be implemented immediately. Consulting services will be needed in this process. The estimated cost for consulting services to produce a facilities and equipment study is $50,000. . c. BENEFIT The five small cities located in the South Lake Minnetonka area have determined that it is important for the future of the Excelsior Fire Department that the cities develop a joint ownership and management arrangement. It has taken over a year of hard negotiations to come to a point where a joint powers agreement may be ready for execution in the Spring of the year 2000. The new joint powers department will have the goal of improving the quality of the service provided to each community as we face the decades of the early 2181 Century. The main goal to be addressed is to maintain a healthy department with members who will be able to respond to calls any time of the day or night. The department needs new facilities that in fact attract recruits. D. . . A new joint powers governing board will need organizational management and technical expertise to guide them through their first year of existence. A grant from the Minnesota Board on Innovation and Cooperation will assure an excellent start for a new board. THE NEED FOR STATE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE At the time the Joint Powers Board would be expected to begin to function. the five cities will have just concluded a year and half of hard negotiations. There is no agreement among the cities at this time on the governing structure. much less how the structure will be able to be funded in its initial year. Two of the cities are under levy limits.
