Executive Summary
Shorewood City Council Regular Meeting
Monday, March 8, 1999
The City Council will meet in Executive Session at 6:00 p.m. in the Conference Room to
discuss several litigation matters with the City Attorney.
Agenda Item #3A: At the 22 February meeting the Council directed staff to prepare a
resolution approving a conditional use permit for the Minnewashta Elementary School.
The School District proposes to build a classroom addition on the north end of the
existing building to accommodate the growing student population. Approval of this
resolution requires a four-fifths vote of the Council.
.~
{
Agenda Item #7: Joyce Flury, the Director of the Southshore Center, will be present to
give a report on activities at the Center during 1998.
Agenda Item #8: The Liquor Committee has met several times and is recommending that
the liquor operations go to a full-time liquor operations manager. Some minor changes
in job descriptions would be required. The Liquor Committee will meet from 5:00 to
6:00 p.m. on Monday for final review. Revised job descriptions are in theCouncil
packet.
Agenda Item #9: Upon the recommendation of the Liquor Committee, the full Council
should authorize by motion going to a full-time liquor operations manager and should
authorize the publication of the advertisement for the position.
Agenda Item # 1 0: Last year when the server was upgraded to an NT, it was decided that
the Macintosh would remain in place with the hopes that they would be able to work
well with the PCs. Unfortunately, that scenario is not working as hoped. Money has
been set aside in the Capital Improvement Program for equipment upgrades. Also, the
memorandum outlines different options for Internet service.
Agenda Item #11: This item is a review of the recommendations of the Land Conservation
Committee report. One option discussed by the Mayor is to establish an environment
and land conservation committee to undertake the recommendations of the report and
other environmental tasks. A first draft of the ordinance is enclosed in the packet for
discussion purposes only. Additional material on the topic is also on the packet.
Copies of the Land Conservation Committee report were distributed to the Council

4. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
Greg Larson, 25535 Orchard Circle, addressed the Council regarding the land grant along Eureka
Road. Mr. Larson asked when the fill would be removed along Eureka Road and when the
requested sign would be erected. He stated that he would like this transaction to be advertised a bit
to possibly encourage more of the same actions by other citizens of Shorewood. Mr. Larson
stressed that the entire transaction was nearly problem free, and he would recommend this type of
transaction to anyone who was willing and able.
Mayor Love assured Mr. Larson that the green space issue is high on the list of priorities for the
coming year.
Planning Director Nielsen stated that the fill would be removed soon after the seasonal road
restrictions are lifted.
5.
DISCUSSION WITH GUY PETERSON & TOM CASWELL FROM
METROPOLITAN COUNCIL ON PARTICIPATING IN THE LOCAL
HOUSING INCENTIVES ACCOUNT PROGRAM UNDER THE
METROPOLITAN LIVABLE COMMUNITIES ACT YEAR 1999
.
Administrator Hurm reported that the Resolution to join the Metropolitan Council had not been
adopted yet, and Guy Peterson and Tom Caswell were in attendance to discuss the Metropolitan
Council and answer any questions from the City Council.
Mr. Tom Caswell, Sector Representative of the Metropolitan Council, addressed the Council and
stated that he is available to answer any questions regarding the Metropolitan Council and the
Livable Communities Act for Year 1999.
Mr. Guy Peterson, Metropolitan Council, summarized the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act
with some history and ideas for changes. Mr. Peterson stated that this is not so much a housing
legislation as it is a community improvement legislation.
Mr. Peterson presented three separate accounts for communities to take advantage of:
1 . Local Housing Incentives
2. Tax Base Revitalization Account (for recycling/clean up of properties)
3. Demonstration Account Program (for cities that can demonstrate a plan to link .
living, working and transportation within their communities)
Mayor Love asked if the Metropolitan Council would work cooperatively with other government
agencies, such as the Watershed District, in granting funding and assisting the City in the use of
such funds.
Mr. Peterson answered that the Metropolitan Council has worked with other agencies in this
capacity .
Mayor Love asked if there was any funding that may be available for the trails that Shorewood is in
the process of planning to link parks and neighborhoods.
Mr. Peterson stated that the Metropolitan Council may have some funding but, more importantly,
some other sources of funding may insist that Shorewood be part of the Metropolitan Council
Livable Communities Act to be eligible for their funding.
Mayor Love asked if Shorewood could still join since it was past the deadline..
CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES
FEBRUARY 22, 1999 - PAGE 3
Mr. Peterson stated that the deadline of the first of the year is fairly firm, however, some programs
may still be available. He noted that the highly competitive grants would not be available.
Councilmember Garfunkel asked if the only funds available are for new developments.
Mr. Peterson replied that many programs exist for rehabilitation and preservation of existing
neighborhoods.
Mr. Caswell volunteered to send a list of other funding sources to Shorewood in regard to the
green space and trails projects.
.
Mayor Love stated he believes that by participating in the Metropolitan Council's program, they
can provide direction regarding regional problems, as well as specific community problems.
Councilmember Garfunkel added that he would like to hear how the Metropolitan Council will aid
in problems specific to Shorewood.
Administrator Hurm pointed out that the Resolution sets, as a goal, to work with the Metropolitan
Council on all Shorewood issues, not just livable housing.
Mr. Caswell statedthat specifics are included in the Resolution and the Metropolitan Council will
address all the issues as they are brought up.
Administrator Hurm pointed out two specific areas of contention right now, the first being sewer
costs, which are very high in Shorewood; and the other being the transit dollars spent. He pointed
out that Shorewood residents are only receiving about 15% of the transit service that they are
paying for.
Councilmember Garfunkel noted that most, possibly all, of the points that the Metropolitan Council
requires, Shorewood is already addressing. He also pointed out that the DNR funding may not be
available for Shorewood, as it is a new program.
.
Lizee moved, Zerby seconded to adopt RESOLUTION 99-013 "A Resolution
Authorizing Continued Participation in the Livable Communities Act for 1999."
Motion passed 4/0.

PARKS - Report by Representative
Commissioner Mark Themig reported on the Park Commission Meeting of February 9, 1999 as
reported in the minutes. He highlighted the discussion of trails in Shorewood, stating there will be
an open house on Tuesday, February 23, 1999.
Councilmember Garfunkel questioned how this trail plan differs from the one in 1992, which was
not favorable to Council.
Commissioner Themig stated that although the starting place is the same, it was made very clear
that all trail locations proposed are pQtential trails and in no way is this trail plan finalized. He noted
that all steps taken have been designed to get the public involved. Commissioner Themig reviewed
several steps that were taken to communicate with the neighborhood and individuals whose
property will adjoin the trails, including but not limited to letters sent to individuals.
Councilmember Zerby agreed that there has been a lot of advertising about the trail plan, and
reminded the public that if they're unable to attend any meetings, they can write, leave a message
on the Shoreline, E-Mail, or fax the. City to make sure their input is considered in each decision.

COMPL YWITH A ZONING VIOLATION NOTICE
Applicant: Brian Ohland
Location: 25895 Smith town Road

9a. REVIEW OF COUNCIL PACKETS
Administrator Hurm reported on alternate methods of delivering the Council packets. He stated
that currently Police Officers do the delivery. He pointed out that the first option is to continue to
have the Officers deliver them, the second option would be for Councilmembers to pick up their
packets, and the third option is to have staff or Public Works deliver the packets, and the last
option would be to utilize outside assistance. He stated that the last option seems to be the best
option, as costs seem very similar to the cost of having the Police Officers do the delivery.
Administrator Hurm has discussed the option with Drew Kriesel and Don Rogers, both of whom
are willing to deliver the packets for a small fee. He reported that Police Officers can still be
available for backup to these men.
Councilmember Zerby questioned the mail as an option.
Administrator Hurm stated that the mail, though often overnight, cannot be counted upon
completely to not be late. He noted that the delivery service was found to often be cheaper than
postage for the packets.
Lizee moved, Zerby seconded directing staff to approach Drew Kriesel and Don
Rogers regarding the delivery of City Council packets. Motion passed 4/0.
REVIEW OF LAND USE AND NA TURAL RESOURCES SECTIONS OF THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Planning Director Nielsen reported on comments received from Councilmembers regarding these
sections of the Comprehensive Plan, and indicated he will forward these comments to the Planning
Commission to provide direction.
Mayor Love questioned the consistency of watershed rules versus the City's rules as it pertains to
natural resources and wetlands. He stated he would like the Comprehensive pplan to bring the two
closer together. Mayor Love also suggested that a glossary be developed for ease of use when the
public looks through these documents. He would also like to see this information on the Internet.
Mayor Love stated that "green space" and "open space" need to be defmed, as there is no defInition
now and these terms are open to interpretation.
Mayor Love then expressed concern about how Shorewood is proceeding in getting the public
easier access to the lake.
CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES
FEBRUARY 22, 1999 - PAGE 6
Planning Director Nielsen explained the usage of "fire lanes" in Shorewood as public access, and
also pointed out that most of the lakeshore area is already developed. He noted that March 8th is
the scheduled date for the City Council to look at the Transportation Section of the Comprehensive
Plan.
11. ADMINISTRATOR AND STAFF REPORTS
Administrator Hurm reported on the Norwest half-marathon. The information received was
incorrect. The correct information is that the route will be the same as last year, along County
Road 19.
Administrator Hurm also noted that Attorney VanCleve has requested an Executive Session to
discuss the Ryan case and the Cabalka case.
Administrator Hurm referred to his memo regarding upcoming issues and suggested dates, and
noted dates and times for open houses, so all Councilmembers are aware events that are coming
up.
12. MA YOR AND CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
Mayor Love reported on the Fire Review Committee Meeting. He noted that a major subject was
recruiting. Mayor Love stated that the ages of people who generally join a volunteer fire
department have been studied, and the Committee is looking into ways to recruit from the most
likely age group.
Councilmember Zerby asked if the lighting at the Amoco station and the Marsh Pointe model home
had been checked, as requested at the . last meeting. Also discussed at the last meeting was a
billboard sign on Glen Road, and Zerby questioned the progress of this issue.
Planning Director Nielsen stated that the lighting has not yet been checked. He noted that the
billboard issue has been turned over to the City Attorney.
Councilm~mber Zerby then pointed out that NSP is having an underground utilities conference,
and asked if any Shorewood staff is going. He strongly suggested that someone attend.
Administrator Hurm stated that Engineer Brown may have this on his schedule.
Councilmember Zerby asked if it would be possible to have these various issues put on some kind
of checklist for each meeting to make sure none of them are overlooked.
Councilmember Garfunkel reported on a meeting he attended last week held by the Lake
Minnetonka Communications Commission. He noted the negotiations between the LMCC and
Triax was discussed at length. He also pointed out the fact that during the construction there will
be some outages, probably during the day. Garfunkel stated that the new system will be state-of-
the-art, and a benefit for the City.

VOLUNTEERING
At this time of dropping temperatures
and frozen terrain, it is good to pause
and feel the warmth of volunteers in
action. This warmth radiates at the
Southshore Center every day we are
open. Receptionists, servers, the clean
up crew, hosts, advisory board members,
card players and our crafters bring the
center to life and create an inviting warm
place on a winter day. .
Thanks to all these people who
volunteered 7404 hours in 1998. The
center provides programs, meals,
education, exercise and friendship
throughout the year. It could not be
accOmplished without our volunteers.
Pat yourselves on the back. .
HOW DO WE GET FROM
HERE TO THERE?
Van service matces the Soutbshore
Center accessible to people who live in
the five city area through the Dial-A-
Ride program.. The van picks up
passengers at their homes and takes them
to congregate dining, shopping, daytrips,
volunteer activities and medical and
miscellaneous appointments. Riders
contribute a donation towards the
transportation service. The van is
wheel-chair lift equipped and
handicapped accessible.
WHY? ASK WHY?
What difference does the Southshore
Center make? In a recent Ann Landers
column, she said the ultimate poverty is
loneliness. The Soutbshore Center
provides a place where people can get
together to learn, laugh, talk, share ideas,
play games, eat with others, and have
fun.
How do we serve the community?
The Southshore Center is a starting point
of services for seniors in the
community. The older population is the
fastest growing segment in Hennepin
County. With this growing number of
older adults in the community, the
importance of the Southshote Center
increases each year.

Our long range technology plan called for the replacement of the remaining Macintosh when the time came that
upgrades and maintenance costs outweighed replacement costs. Additional problems have arisen with the cross-

** The State contract does not cover merchandise from Dell.
NOTE: There is a $350.00 annual charge to buy from the State contract, which to date we have not paid. This
contract runs from June 30 to July 1.
Staff would recommend Option A, which is a combination of purchasing through the State contract and from Dell
Computers.
Disposal of EQuipment:
In the past when equipment has exhausted its useful life at City Hall, it has been offered to Council members,
Commissioners and staff members at a reasonable amount We could do the same with the equipment that we
will no longer have a use for at this time. The Lake Minnetonka Communications Commission has also
expressed an interest in purchasing some or all of the equipment at a reasonable price. Also, the Friends are
hosting an Attic Sale at the Southshore Center, we could offer the equipment through them and either allow them
to retain all proceeds or arrange to split with them. Council should direct staff as to how disposal should be
handled.

Internet:
In addition to the above recommended changes, we have also looked at the service provided by our
Internet Service Provider (ISP) over the past months and feel it is best to consider alternatives, in part
because of the following reasons:
=> Continuous complaints of undelivered e-mails to City Hall;
=> Inability to access HomePage frequently;
=> Statistics about site no longer provided;
=> Entire web site lost on occasion by the ISP; and
=> Lack of technical expertise to fix any of the above described problems by the ISP.
When the site was first developed, it was decided by the Committee and later approved by the City .
Council, that the City should develop and maintain the site at as low of a cost as possible at first. Because
of this decision, a domain name was not purchased for the City' s site, which is the reason for the rather
lengthy address for the City's HomePage. Since June of 1996, the City has only paid $25.00 per month
for both its web site and one dial account for access to the Internet. However, this cost is also reflective of .
the service received.

The League of Minnesota Cities indicates that most cities are using either MinnNet or U.S. West.
However, the only city I was able to actually talk to about their service was Long Lake who uses MrNet,
and has only been doing so since January. U.S. Internet was the most responsive to our questions. It
would be staff s recommendation, if it were deemed that a change is needed, to use U.S. Internet as our
local ISP and web hosting service. This company also indicated they would be able to host a live, audio
broadcast of Council meetings if we so desired.

Domain name setup is $100 for the name and $50 each year for renewal. Once a domain name is
established for the City, if it becomes necessary to switch providers in the future, the address would
remain the same. Even if we stay with the same ISP at this time, staff recommends getting our own
domain name as traffic is definiately increasing on the web site which will make it harder in the future to
change.
Staff would recommend contracting with U.S. Internet for both ISP and web hosting services. Council
should direct as to their preference.

Re:
Agenda Item #10 - Land Conservation Report Recommendations
.
Please bring to the City Council meeting your copy of the Land Conservation
Committee Report submitted 12/14/98 (if you do not have a copy of the report, please call
and we will get a copy to you).
.
The Land Conservation Committee report is very comprehensive. It is the result of over six
months of work by the citizens committee. The executive summary, which I have attached to this
memorandum briefly summarizes the various recommendations of the Committee. One of those
recommendations is to establish some sort of organization, working group or committee to carry
out the elements of the implementation action plan as seen fit by the City Council. The Council
should again review the report and discuss what elements of the report should be implemented and
what are the best ways to accomplish it.
At the request of Mayor Woody Love I have prepared a draft ordinance that should be considered
only a working draft, something for the Council to begin discussions with. This draft ordinance
would set up a committee which has the responsibility of carrying out the implementation schedule
and action plan of the report. In addition it would act as an advising body to the City Council,
Park and Planning Commissions on environmental and land conservation matters. It would also act
as a resource to Shorewood residents on such matters. Finally, the committee would act in a
liaison function to the various environmental agencies.
This is just one way that the City can organize to carry out the functions of the Land Conservation
Committee. Another option would be to consider establishing another Ad-hoc working group for a
one to two year period to pursue implementing the recommendations of the report. I am sure there
are other ways. This is intended to begin the discussion.
Should the Council feel that the option of a land conservation environment committee is worth
discussing, you may wish to review the draft ordinance paragraph by paragraph at the Council
meeting.
Also enclosed in the packet is an ordinance establishing an environmental quality commission in
the City of Moundsview, an article on the Inver Grove Heights environmental commission, an
ordinance on the duties of the environmental quality commission of the City of Crystal and a
memorandum on the City of Minnetonka open space preservation task force.

Land Conservation Committee Report

neighborhood and the City can finance the purchase without compromising other City
needs.
· Requir~ a perpetual conservation easement on open space property acquired through
a specIal assessment program.
Transfer of Development Rights Program (TOR)
In a TOR program, developers can buy development credits from people who own open
space, A conservation easement is put on the open space if the owner sells his or her
development rights to a developer, Because land with development potential is scattered
throughout the city establishing a sending and receiving area would be difficult, if not
impossible, TOR programs are bestsuited for agricultural areas that are undeveloped and
under pressure to become residential areas. TOR programs permanently protect open
space while compensating landowners who voluntarily restrict development on their
property.
Recommendation
A TOR program would be neither feasible nor desirable in Shorewood,
Purchase of Development Rights Program (PDR)
In a POR program, the City would buy conservation easements on land that had been
identified as important open space, PDR programs permanently protect open space,
however the City must purchase conservation easements and dedicate staff time to
program administration,
Recommendations
. If the City secures a stable funding mechanism, a PDR program would be a feasible
and desirable land conservation tool in Shorewood.
. A POR program should be applied in a situation where the City cannot afford to
purchase an open space parcel outright or the landowner wishes to retain ownership,
Outright Purchase
Outright acquisition allows the City to determine the current and future management of
open space,
Recommendations
. The criteria used to select open space parcels should be developed by citizens.
. As land is tax forfeited, the City should consider it for purchase,
. The Open Space Plan should identify funding sources, staffing responsibilities, and
long-term land management for an acquisition program.
. If a referendum is required, an educational campaign would be necessary to make
voters aware of the issues, Voters should have a clear understanding that their taxes
might go up and that not every open space parcel in every neighborhood will be
purchased.
Section 4 recommends a planning process that will develop the Open Space Plan. This
report represents the beginning of that process, and the report should be refined to
ultimately become Shorewood's Open Space Plan, The Land Conservation Committee
ii
, .
.
.
Land Conservation Committee Report
1219/98
strongly recommends that citizens have opportunities to contribute meaningful input in the
planning and implementation of the Open Space Plan.
The Land Conservation Committee suggests a number of steps and a timetable to further
develop the Open Space Plan. A visioning session will be necessary to ensure that the
Plan reflects the community's values. A working group(s) will be established that may
consist of Planning and Park Commissioners and citizens. Open space parcels in
Shorewood will be prioritized for protection. The planning process also will identify
funding sources for open space protection. Steps are outlined that should be taken to
implement the Plan. Implementation includes promoting the Plan, executing protection
tools, evaluating the Plan, and educating officials and residents on an on-going basis
about Shorewood's natural resources and the land protection options available to local
governments and private individuals.
.
Recommendations for Plan Administration
· The working group(s) should have citizen representation.
· Citizens should have meaningful input:
· When the community develops a vision of open space in Shorewood
· When criteria for selecting and ranking open space parcels are developed.
· In budgeting for acquisition of development rights or purchase of property.
· The role of the Planning and Park Commissions should be determined by the
Commissions and the City Council.
Recommendations for Establishing a Land Conservation Organization
· The City should administer land protection programs rather than establish a new
nonprofit land conservation organization for protecting land in Shorewood.
· The City should partner with an existing land conservation organization if the following
circumstances arise: a quick sale, a parcel that requires intensive management, and
landowners that do not want to deal with the City.
.
Recommendations for Developing a Community Vision of Open Space and
Ranking Selection Criteria
· Hold a public meeting to develop a community vision of open space and to develop
and rank a list of criteria for prioritizing open space parcels.
· Invite the generaJ public to the meeting through publicity.
· Send invitations for the meeting to people who have an interest in open space
issues.
Creating a Working Group(s)
The working group will develop an open space plan and administer the plan's land
protection programs. The first task for the working group is to educate the public about
voluntary land conservation. Protection programs vary in their ease of administration.
Easily administered protection programs are land registry and title and conservation
easement donation programs. Tasks required to administer these programs are to:
publicize programs, organize public ceremonies/events, develop and produce brochures
about the programs; organize public meetings, develop and produce education
brochures, write articles for newsletter and local newspapers, consult one-on-one with
interested landowners; and develop criteria for accepting land and easement donations.
jjj
Land Conservation Committee Report
11/30/98
A moderately difficult to administer is a special assessment for residents' open space
acquisition program. The tasks required its administration are to: develop criteria for
program eligibility; approve applications for program; negotiate assessment and easement
terms with petitioners; and identify funding.
Difficult to administer programs are purchase of development rights and land acquisition
programs. Tasks required to manage these programs are to: develop criteria for site
selection and rank parcels, review program applications and select eligible parcels for
programs; contact owners of high priority parcels; negotiate acquisition and easement
terms; monitor and enforce easement te.rms; secure funding; oversee the management and
maintenance of acquired open space; publicize program and develop and produce
brochures; and organize public meetings, develop and produce educational brochures,
write articles for newsletter and local newspapers, and consult one-on-one with interested
landowners.
Recommendations
· Establish a working group in the form of a steering committee, review board, or task
force to draft open space goals and objectives based on the community vision for
open space.
· The group should. include Park and Planning Commission liaisons as well as citizens .
from all 4 precincts.
· The working group should immediately begin educating the public about land
conservation.
The City should develop an Open Space Plan to be added to the Comprehensive Plan
that includes specific open space parcels to be protected, the conservation options to
protect the parcels, and funding for protection. The strongest tools that the City has to
protect the remaining natural open space in Shorewood are conservation easements and
land acquisition.

Meeting of Aprn 27, 1998
Brief Description:
Discussion regarding a park bond referendum
Recommended Action:
Provide staff direction
The City Council is asked to consider the establishment of a task force that would
prepare for a bond referendum for open space preservation and/or aCQuisition for the
development of additional athletic fields. Should the Council support this concept,
there are several issues described herein on which staff would like Council direction.
Background
.
The natural beauty of Mlnnetonka is one of the city's greatest assets. a feature that
often draws people to the community and as a result keeps them here. A
commitment to maintaining this natural beauty is evident in the City's strategic
framework:
Minnetonka wI71 be the community of choice where people come together to
live, work and play In a naturally beautiful environment. As we work to
preserve our quality neighborhoods and provide exceptional City services, we
will always be aware of the delicate balance be.tween the need for urban )
services and the importance of prorecting and managing our natural
surroundings.
This commitment is further outlined in the first of the City's strategic goals:
We will vigorously protect and manage our natural surroundings.
.
The City has contributed to this natural beauty with the development and
maintenance of its five community parks, 37 neighborhood parks and associated
playgrounds (400 acres of maintained parks and 1,000 natural park acres), and the
Loop Trail System. The Minnetonka Park Board has developed a property acquisition
list that identifies desirable parcels for purChase by the City should the properties be
listed for sale and the required funds are available. Generally, these parcels are
adjacent to existing City park land or within the Minnehaha Creek Preserve.
Under the direction of the City Council, the Park Board recently established the .
Natural Resources Stewardship Program which aims to protect and restore the
natural resources and biodiversity within Mrnnetonka park land and other natural
areas.
Further, Minnetonka was one of the first communities to adopt a wetland preservation

Introduction
Transportation planning, especially in urbanized areas,
should place emphasis on the total transportation system
rather than just one or more isolated facilities. It should
encompass all modes of transport which are economically
feasible to the community. The City must provide or
ensure that there is provided, a safe, efficient and
convenient transportation system which limits negative
impact on the environment at the lowest cost consistent
with the health, safety and welfare of the public.
The Shorewood Transportation Plan describes Shorewood's
existing transportation system by functional classification,
identifies problem areas within the system and recommends
improvements to resolve those problem areas. The plan
also recommends right-of-way and roadway widths. which
would provide continuity within the street system.
Although emphasis in this element of Shorewood's
Comprehensive Plan is placed on the street circulation plan,
there are a number of other transportation related
components that deserve consideration. They include mass
transit, pedestrian/bicyc1e circulation. railroads and
aviation.

Goal and Objectives
8/93
Transportation Goal
The City shall provide and maintain a safe and efficient
system of transportation, sensitive to the needs of residents
and the environment of the community.
Transportation Objectives
1. Reduce the need for transportation facilities by
combining or concentrating various land use
activities, when and where feasible.
2.
Promote regional transportation facilities which are
safe, direct, convenient and environmentally sound.
3. Design safe, efficient and economical local
transportation facilities based upon the needs of
neighborhoods, integrating these facilities into the
community and regional systems.
4. Utilize a comprehensive system and approach to
transportation, giving due attention to all modes and
related facilities.
5.
Assign priorities to various travel routes, modes and
programs, then formulate and implement a
corresponding action and development effort.

Transportation
Issues
.
Highway 7 In 1987 Shorewood participated with several
area communities, MNDOT and the Metropolitan Council
in the preparation of a Corridor Study for State Highway 7.
Althotlgh the sma, identified a ntlmbcr of improyen'lCnts
between State Highway 101 and Smithtown Road, theIe Me
SeyCIm areas '\\hich deserve additionm detailed smdy.
Timing of impIOyements mso needs to be addressed. Most
of the recommendations of the 1987 Study have been
implemented, and many of the 1995 Study
recommendations have been programmed. There are,
however areas along the highway which have been
identified for further study.
Christmas Lal<< Roadllfighwa)" 7 Shorenood has
appro (cd MNDOT plans for tlpgrading the intersection of
Christmas Lake Road Md IIigh"yt, ay 7. The City of
Creen"vy'ood, hOne vcr, opposes all of the mternMiyes which
haye been offered to date. Since the inte~cction poses
seriotls safet) concerns in its CtllTCnt configtlnl.tion, it is
important to reopen disctlssions nith CrecnY900d and
MNDOT to mriyc at a design soltltion which is satisfactory
to ml parties.
.
ViDe Ifill R6adlllighway 7 Plans for ttpgrading this
longstanding problem intersection Ita 'Ie been appro (cd, but
constItlction is not schcehdcd tlntilI99-4. Since this
intersection is considered an intcgntl part of the solution to
tt affic pIoblems in the southc~t area of the commtlnity, it
is importMt tltttt its tlpgrading be delayed no further.
County Road 19/Country Club Road There is a
tendency for traffic southbound on County Road 19 to use
Country Club Road as a shortcut to westbound Highway 7.
Traffic counts south of County Road 19 exceed 3000 ADT.
Heavy traffic along County Road 19 at times creates
considerable congestion at the intersection of Country Club
Road and County Road 19. Although private property
development on various sites has helped define and limit
access points, additional improvement is needed. It should
be realized that resolution of the problem necessitates
coordination between Shorewood, Tonka Bay and
Hennepin County.
7/98
TR-5
Municipal State Aid System In 1989 Shorewood's population exceeded 5000, making the city
eligible for MSA funding. The MSA routes currently designated require review as well as the
design standards for construction.
Fire Protection Due to the narrow surface widths of certain streets in Shorewood, a serious
question exists over the adequacy of road access for emergency vehicles. As the availability of
municipal water is quite limited, fire fighting efforts are generally dependent upon the use of tank
trucks. However, on narrow roads there often is not sufficient room for tank trucks and pumpers
to pass each other, and thus fire protection efforts may be critically jeopardized.
Mass Transit Shorewood, not unlike many outlying communities within the metropolitan area,
desires, but does not have the benefit of readily available public transit services. Given
Shorewood's low density character, traditional transit services do not appear to be economically
feasible at this time. However, alternative methods of providing transit service (e.g. park and
ride sites) could potentially be introduced and thus, such alternatives should be explored
thoroughly.
Bikeways/Trails Although viewed primarily as recreational these facilities relate closely to
other transportation modes. It is important that planning for streets take into account the safe
movement of bicyclists and pedestrians.

Streets. Functional Classification System
It is recommended that the Metropolitan Council's
Functional Classification System Criteria for Roadways be
used as a basis for classifying and developing Shorewood's
street system. The following two pages define the various
components of the system and illustrate their typical spatial
relationships. It should be realized that this system should
be tailored to fit Shorewood's specific development
character and needs. Cross sections of various roadway
types can be modified to City specifications. These
specifications should be incorporated into the improvement
section of the subdivision regulations.
In general, Shorewood's streets can be classified according
to use as local, collector, minor arterial and intermediate
arterial streets. A local street is designed to discourage
through traffic, primarily providing access to immediate
adjacent land. Moving traffic is a secondary function. The
collector street intercepts traffic from residential areas, etc.,
and carries it to or from the arterial system and community
activity centers. Minor arterials move traffic between
subregions with direct land access being limited.
Intermediate arterials also connect subregions, carrying
higher traffic volumes and providing access to major traffic
generators.
Page TR -14 illustrates the functional classification plan for
the south Lake Minnetonka area and shows how
Shorewood relates to the regional system. The page
following provides a more detailed overview of the
proposed transportation plan for the community. The
following is a discussion of each functional classification as
it pertains to the City of Shorewood.
Local Streets. The Transportation Plan map does not
attempt to show other than existing local streets. Location
of such streets is left to the developer to decide. However,
in reviewing development requests, the City should
carefully consider the following recommendations:
1.
In new subdivisions, as opposed to simple
resubdivisions, all lots should abut on a publicly
dedicated street. While it is the City's policy to

discourage private streets, in certain limited cases of lot resubdivision, the City has
adopted the policy that as many as three lots may be allowed access by private easement,
subject to the following criteria:
a. The land to be subdivided is not capable of being divided into more than three
lots.
b. Consideration is given to surrounding undeveloped property.
c. A 50-foot easement and adequate turn-around must be provided.
d. Legal provisions are made for the use and maintenance of the road.
e. Where private roads are approved, protective covenants will be required stating
that the City will not take over or maintain them.
.
f.
The minimum width of the paved surface for private streets shall be 20 feet where
adequate off-street parking is provided. Where the potential exists for on-street
parking the minimum shall be 24 feet.
2. Subdivision circulation patterns should be examined from a broader perspective than just
the individual site. In this regard, consideration must be given to surrounding
undeveloped property as well as existing street patterns to ensure that the most efficient
transportation network is achieved.
3. All streets should meet the minimum design standards established by the City. Existing
standards such as minimum road width, and length of cul-de-sac streets should be re-
evaluated in terms of safety (emergency vehicles access) and street maintenance
(snowplowing). It is recommended that the minimum right-of-way width for local streets
be maintained at 50 feet and that the maximum length for cul-de-sac streets should be
reduced from 2,000 feet to between 500 and 1,000 feet.
.
4.
In areas where existing streets have substandard right-of-way widths, the City shall
acquire, to the extent possible, additional right-of-way through the subdivision process.
The following page illustrates cross-sections of various street designs. For local streets the
following criteria should be used to evaluate appropriate widths:
24-foot street
· use in areas where zoning requires lots to be 20,000 square feet in
area or larger
· on-street parking restricted to one side
· consider additional parking restrictions for through streets
28-foot street
· use in areas where zoning allows lots smaller than 20,000 square
feet in area
· on-street parking restricted to one side

two-family or multiple-family dwellings or on through streets
where on-street bicycle/pedestrian traffic is a factor
if on-street parking is allowed on both sides of street, consider
separated bicycle/pedestrian facilities
.
It should be noted that streets currently exist which are less than 24 feet in width. While
substandard streets may be maintained at their current design, in no case shall streets be
reconstructed at a width less than 20 feet. Substandard streets shall be evaluated based on their
use characteristics (i.e. land use intensity, on-street parking, bicycle/pedestrian traffic, etc.).
.
The City recognizes that it may not be feasible to reconstruct existing streets to the preceding
standards. A study prepared by a Street Reconstruction Financing Task Force, recommends that
existing streets in need of reconstruction may be built to a lesser standard. Specifically, existing
streets may be rebuilt to their existing width (but not less than 20 feet), and curb and gutter will
be installed only where necessary for drainage purposes or where traffic dictates. Pages TR-20
and TR-21 illustrate typical cross-sections for street reconstruction projects.
In the mid 1980's Shorewood adopted seasonal weight restrictions in an effort to reduce wear and
tear on City streets. These restrictions, however, were not extended to garbage trucks. The City
currently licenses 12 refuse haulers to operate within the community. Aside from having to
obtain a license, refuse haulers are basically unregulated. Since garbage trucks have been
identified as the single most damaging vehicle to city streets, serious consideration must be given
to establishing regulations which limit the extent of the damage. This topic is discussed in
greater detail in the Community Facilities/Services chapter of this Plan.

Collector Streets. Streets in Shorewood which are currently classified as collectors include
Minnetonka Boulevard in the Northeast comer of the City; Old Market Road/Covington Road
and the south end of Vine Hill Road in the southeast comer of the City; Galpin Lake Road south
of Highway 7; Eureka Road between Smithtown Road and Highway 7; and Smithtown Road. In
planning for Shorewood's circulation network it is recommended that two additional routes be
classified as collectors: 1) Country Club RoadIY ellowstone TraillLake Linden Drive; and 2)
Vine Hill Road north of Covington Road.
Traffic levels on Country ClublY ellowstonelLake Linden greatly exceed those which are
recommended for a local street. While it is not intended to encourage traffic to shortcut between
County Road 19 and Highway 7, it is important that the street be designed to safely carry the
existing traffic. A traffic smdy yy ill be condtlctcd in 1998 intended to identify 8:ltemativcs for

Traffic studies prepared for the development of Shorewood's southeast area suggest that the
collector function for that area be split by Old Market Road and Vine Hill Road, resulting in two
"minor" collectors. To maintain a balance of traffic between the two streets, the intersection of
Covington Road and Vine Hill Road should remain in its current "T" configuration. If future
traffic patterns warrant it consideration should be given to other intersection designs which
would maintain balance of traffic flow.
Although it is recognized that Vine Hill Road may be expensive to upgrade, it should be
incorporated into the City's Municipal State Aid (MSA) system and the City should work with
the City of Minnetonka to upgrade it to a "minor" collector status, that is, a street designed to
function somewhere between a local and collector street designation.
.
Cross-sections for various widths of collector streets are shown on page TR-22. As with local
streets the width should be determined based on the activities which will occur on the street. For
Example, a 28-foot street is adequate for moving traffic but does not provide space for on-street
parking or bicycle/pedestrian traffic. Parking must be prohibited and separate bicycle/pedestrian
trails provided along a 28-foot street.
While parking should not be encouraged on collector streets, a 32-foot section can provide some
opportunity for parking on one side. Thirty-two feet is not adequate to provide on-street bicycle
lanes.
Thirty-six feet is the minimum width recommended for on-street bicycle lanes. In such cases
where off-street trails can not be provided it is recommended that bicycle traffic and on-street
parking not be mixed.
Minor Arterials. Arterials provide mobility for longer trips at the expense of accessibility. Minor
arterials complement and support the principal and intermediate arterial system, but are primarily
oriented toward travel within and between adjacent subregions. Local and collector streets can
intersect with minor arterials however, direct property access, should be limited.
.
Within the community, there are two roads designated as minor arterials - County Road 19 north
of Highway 7 and Mill Street (County Road 82) to the south of Highway 7. There are no current
plans by Hennepin County to upgrade any of the county roads in Shorewood. However, there are
two issues which the City of Shorewood should address. The intersection of County Road 19
and Smithtown, becomes heavily congested at times, due to the volume of traffic on 19. It is
recommended that this intersection be considered for further study. The City should examine
alternative methods of improving this intersection. This may involve modification of access
drives near the intersection and review of Hennepin County standards to see if the intersection
may warrant signalization.
The second issue regarding County Road 19 is direct property access. Over the past several
years the City has begun to limit and confine direct access points as properties are developed or
redeveloped. This policy should be continued and the City should work with Hennepin County
and Tonka Bay to limit the width and number of driveways and to encourage the use of common
driveways wherever possible.

Intermediate Arterials. Intermediate arterials connect subregions, carrying higher traffic
volumes, faster speeds, and provide access to major traffic generators. Access to intermediate
arterials should be limited to connections with principal arterials, other intermediate arterials,
minor arterials and selected collectors. Traffic signals on intermediate arterials should be spaced
at greater intervals to facilitate smooth traffic flow progressions at higher speeds.
The largest traffic carrier in Shorewood is State Highway 7, which is classified as an
intermediate arterial. In 1986 Shorewood participated with the Department of Transportation,
the Metropolitan Council and several communities abutting Highway 7 in the preparation of the
T.H. 7 Corridor Study, dated November, 1986. The 1986 study recommendsed improvements
for the segment of Highway 7 between State Highway 101 to the east and Minnewashta Parkway
to the west. A second Corridor Study was conducted in 1995 which recommends improvements
for Highway 7 between State Highway 41 and the City of Hutchinson to the west.
.
In brief summary the 1986 Corridor Study suggests confining access points in the study area to
five signalized intersections, spaced approximately one mile apart; construction of a grade-
separated interchange at St. Alban's Bay Road/Covington Road; realignment of Galpin Lake
Road to intersect with Water Street (nonsignalized); and upgrading between T.H. 41 and
Minnewashta Parkway to a five-lane divided roadway with a continuous center left-turn lane.
Along the entire corridor, existing access points will be consolidated to minimize direct access to
the highway.
In adopting the 1986 Corridor Study, Shorewood qualified its approval by taking issue with
certain recommendations in the study. Following are the City's positions on various areas of
concern:
1.
Vine Hill RoadlIIigh'vva) 7 Intersection. The Cit, has apprOved the plan shov-n on the
follovving pa'ge. Constluction of the intersection is 3chedtdcd for 1994. The. Cit) of
Minnetonka proposes to upgrade the sel v ice road bctvveen Vine IIill Road and the
Minnetonka Senior High School in conjunction w im the inocucetion const1'tletion.
Shol'Gwood 'v\oill coordinate plans for upgrading the service road between the new
inocrsection Mid Vine Hill Road with Minnetonka Mid MNDOT.
.
As a result of the inocrscetion impro"Y"e:mcnt certmn l'Gmnant parcels of lMid 'Will remmn
"v\o"hich arc not necess8ry for the constrtletion. The Cit) should work with MNDOT to
combine these remnants with adjoining sites.
2:1. St. Alban's Bay Road/Covington Road. The proposed overpass/interchange is expected
to require nearly half of the estimated $10.1 million necessary to fund improvements for
the entire corridor. Shorewood is on record as questioning the cost versus benefit of this
design. The City's position is that the intersections at Old Market Road and at Vine Hill
Road will prove to be adequate to handle future traffic.
32. Service Road - Old Market Road to Christmas Lake Road. Construction of this segment
of service road on the south side of Highway 7 would require substantial cutting of the
large hill west of Radisson Entrance and filling the wetland to ~e east. Both efforts
would require expensive retaining walls. Traffic levels on the north end of Christmas
Lake do not warrant the expense, financially or environmentally.

Seamans Drive Intersection
Realignment Per T.R. 7 Corridor Study
Reconstruction of the sen ice road bet ween Christmas Lake Road and Radisson Road
should be encouraged. Radisson Road east of the existing service road has been noted as
being narrow, winding and potentially hazardous. Proximity of homes to the roadway
makes upgrading of the street very difficult and expensive. Traffic in this area will
continue to be monitored and if volumes warrant it, further consideration should be given
to directional or other regulatory controls.
4. ChIist111aS Lake Road Intersection. ShOIewood has approved the intersection
rcconst1tlction plan shovvn on the following page. Since Crcenvvood objects to the design
for the north side of the intersection, the project hAS been put on hold m: MNDOT.
Trensportation engineers me Oyy orking on additional altemm:i yes which OJ" ould be
aceeptltble to Creenvvood. Ci-..en the h~Mdous conditions vvhich cum:.ntl, exist at this
intersection, ShoIeJ"ood should work to expedite a solution to the problem.
53.
Excelsior West. Page TR-27 illustrates the proposed realignment of Galpin Lake Road to
intersect with Water Street, and the connection of Chaska Road to Galpin Lake Road.
Initially, the City objected to this recommendation due to expense and impact on
residential property. Upon further review, the redesign may be feasible, but expensive.
Unless MNDOT will assist in necessary right-of-way acquisition, the improvement is
considered to be a long range project. In the meantime the City should study alternatives
to the proposed design.
.
64. Trunk Highway 41 Area. Shorewood's plans to upgrade Lake Linden Drive include
closing the right-on, right-off intersection at Highway 7. Design for the north half of the
intersection of Highway 41 and Highway 7 should concentrate on good geometries and
the service road between Lake Linden Drive and the intersection should be moved as far
north as possible to provide maximum detachment. Private property access to
commercial sites should be consolidated to minimize congestion at the intersection.
7.
Lake Minne w AShta AIea. The intersection of Y clIo Vy.stone Trail, Semiians Dri ve and
IIighvvay 7 should be reconstmcted as shown on page TR 28. Right of Vvtty must be
acquiIed for this project.
.
It is Iccommcnded that construction of a light rem lane for the Fleeman Park entrance be
given the highest pIiori~ for sMety reASons. Private property access for the two homes
adjacent to the Prcemzm Park ent'ftUlee shotlld be consolidated with the; park access.
Communities involved in the 1995 Corridor Study were advised early on that funding would not
be availablefor the construction of a four-lane, divided highway from Highway 41 west to the
City of Hutchinson. Nevertheless, afour-Iane roadway was viewed as a long-term goal. In the
meantime consolidation of access points, enhanced turn lanes, widened shoulders and access
control were cited as feasible ways to improve traffic on the westerly segment of Highway 7.
Shorewood conducted neighborhood meetings in 1997 to consider the consolidation and closure
of several access points on Highway 7. It has been determined that direct access to the highway
at Lake Linden Drive, Wood Drive, Pleasant Avenue, and Seamans Drive/Yellowstone Trail will
be closed. Upon development of the land east of Freeman Park, a frontage road between Eureka
Road and the park will be constructed to replace the existing southerly access to the park. A
potential frontage road between Seamans Drive and Eureka Road was identified as an area of
further study.

TR-29
Streets - Minnesota State Aid System (To Be Updated)
In 1989, upon reaching a population of 5000, Shorewood became eligible for participation in the
Municipal State Aid System. This program contributes approximately $235,000 annually to the
City's street construction fund. Shorewood's alIocation for MSA funds is based on nine miles of
its total 50 miles of streets. Proposed MSA routes are shown on the Transportation Plan map on
page TR-15.
The Transportation Plan coordinates the proposed street classification system with MSA route
designations. For the most part alI colIector streets are proposed as MSA routes. Since there are
more MSA miles allocated than there are colIector street miles, four local streets are also
designated as MSA routes.
Although the MSA system is primarily a funding resource, there are certain design implications,
particularly with respect to local streets. For example, the minimum width required for an MSA
route is 26 feet. MSA standards also require curb and gutter, whereas the City's current policy
for reconstruction of existing streets requires curb and gutter only where drainage or traffic
necessitate. As MSA streets are planned, their use characteristics must be examined to ensure
that adequate width is provided to accommodate area land uses, (e.g. need for on-street parking).
.
It must be realized that only limited mileage can be constructed annually. For example the
current Capital Improvement Program estimates that 1.9 miles of streets can be constructed in the
next five years. FolIowing is a current ranking, by need, for the first 10 segments of MSA routes
to be constructed. These routes total 4.37 miles.
1. Lake Linden Drive
2. Vine HilI Road (new intersection to Shorewood/Minnetonka border)
3. Cathcart Drive
4. Eureka Road (north)
5. Smithtown Road (Boulder Circle to Howard's Point Road)
6. Country Club Road
7. Smithtown Road (Howard's Point Road to Grant Lorenz Road)
8. Smithtown Road (Grant Lorenz Road to Eureka Road)
9. Smithtown Road (Eureka Road to Country Club Road)
10. YelIowstone Trail (Country Club Road to Lake Linden Drive)
.
It should be noted that these rankings will be reviewed annually as part of capital improvements
programming.
Mass Transit
Mass transit to Shorewood is currently limited due to the community's low density.
Concentrations of population in Shorewood are not considered enough to justify increased
regular service. The City should, however, attempt to promote service in any way possible (e.g.
providing park and ride locations within the community) in order to equalize the level of service
with the current rate of taxation.
8/93
TR-30
To date four options for improving service have been identified:
1. Lobby the state legislature to provide new opportunities to opt out of the Metropolitan
Transit System. Then join with other communities to establish an autonomous
"subregional" system.
2. Req11est thttt the Regiontd Transit Board (RTB) tdlovv the Cit) to devdop a Work with the
Metropolitan Council Transit Organization (MCTO) to enhance the current Dial-a-Ride
"Demonstrtttion Project". program. If successful, this type of program eottld should be
renewed annually.
3. Convince the R:TB MCTO that the south Lake Minnetonka communities (Le. Shorewood,
Tonka Bay, Excelsior and Greenwood) be designated as a transit hub and connected to
other outer-ring suburban hub areas.
4.
Consider joining another transit system, such as Southwest Metro Transit. This also
would require RTB 8pproval as a demonstration project. legislative approval by the
State.
.
The City should work with area communities and the R:TB MeTO to at least maintain the level
of service of the Metro Mobility program. Services such as this will become increasingly
important as the population continues to age.
The Regiontd Transit Doard Metropolitan Council Transit Organization continues to study and
analyze ridership levels in the area. Shorewood should seek citizen input to determine the level
of service desired by the community.
BicycleIPedestrian Trails
.
In 1991 the Park Commission developed a Trail Plan for the City of Shorewood. Trails are
primarily considered as an element of parks and recreation, but due to their interrelationship with
other transportation elements, they will also be discussed in the Transportation chapter.
The City is currently conducting a resident survey relative to the future development of trails in
Shorewood. Presumably this study will be used to refine the existing trail plan. It is
recommended that the Trail Plan (shown on the following page), as may be amended, be
consulted for all development proposals and street construction projects. Where trails are
designated on or adjacent to roadways, right-of-way should be required as part of the subdivision
approval process. Construction of trails on or along roadways should be incorporated into street
improvement planning.
Snowmobiles have been a continued source of controversy in recent years, despite increased
efforts to enforce City codes regulating their use. Private property trespass and damage have
been raised as issues relative to snowmobiling. Morc importantly the safety and eomptttibility of
snowm.obiles 'lith. pedestrian tises and motor 'v'cltides fl'l8:kc the 11se of snowmobiles q11estioftabk

Airports
There are no existing or proposed airports, search areas or other facilities located in the
Shorewood area. Seaplane and ultra-light operations are, however, allowed on the surface water
of Lake Minnetonka. Seaplane traffic in Shore wood has not been identified as a problem at the
present time. However, as use of Lake Minnetonka increases, the potential for problems to arise
also increases. This use of the lake should be monitored and at such time it is determined to be a
problem, a regional study on the topic should be conducted to determine if there is a need for a
specialized area of the lake to handle seaplane operations. This study should be a joint effort
between all lake communities and may best be handled by the Lake Minnetonka Conservation
District.

TR-35
Chapter Summary
The Transportation chapter of the Comprehensive Plan
contains goals, objectives and policies related to all aspects
of moving people and goods within the City of Shorewood.
The essential goal of this element of the plan is worth
repeating here:
The City shall provide and maintain a safe and efficient
system of transportation, sensitive to the needs of
residents and the environment of the community.
Based upon these goals, objectives and policies, several
recommendations are offered herein and can be
summarized as follows:
.
1.
Classify and develop streets based upon the
Metropolitan Council's Functional Classification
System Criteria for Roadways.
· Designate Country Club RoadIY ellowstone
Trail/Lake Linden Drive as a collector route
· Designate Minnetonka Boulevard as a collector
street
· Recognize Vine Hill Road north of Covington
Road as a minor collector
.
2.
Adopt criteria for when and how private streets may
be constructed.
3. Reevaluate design criteria (width, length of cul-de-
sacs, curbing, etc.) for new city streets.
4. Reconstruct existing streets to current widths but
not less than 20 feet.
5. Consider regulations which limit the extent of
damage done to city streets by garbage trucks.
6. PrcpM'C a circulation concept plan for thc 8:fCa
located wcst of Crant Lorenz Road between
Ddgcwood Road and Smithtown Road.
7/98 TR-37
%. Prepare a "corridor study" of County Road 19 through Shorewood, examining the
intersection at Country Club Road for possible signalization and limiting direct property
access to County Road 19.
8-7. Implement the recommendations of the 1986 and 1995 T.H. 7 Corridor Studyies with
particular attention being given to:
· Expcdite the tlpglading of th" Vin" Hill Road intef8cetion and coordinate constmction
of the scrvicc road cast of the interscction with the City of Minnctonka
--Rceonstmet thc seniee road betvvccn Christmas Lake Road and Radis30n Road, btlt
do not eonstrnct a new service load cast to Co...ington ROlld
· \Vor}{ with MNDOT and CIccftwood to M'rive M a design soltItion for the Christmas
Lake Road interscetion
· Prepare alternative designs to the Galpin Lake Road intersection realignment
· Close the Lake Linden Drive entrance to Highway 7 and redesign the north half of the .
Highway 41 intersection
· Realign Seamans Drive -.vith. Arbor AventIc in Chllnh~sen and detach Ydlovvstone
Trail fTOm the Highvvlry" 7 right of vva)
· Coftstmet a right rem lane cast of the entrance to Frcem8:n Park and eonsolidMc
pri vMe property llCCCSS with the park ent1'MCC
. Close direct access points at Wood Drive, Pleasant Avenue and Yellowstone
Trail/Seamans Drive
. Study further the concept of a frontage road between Seamans Drive and Eureka
Road
98.
Coordinate the MSA system with the Functional Classification System: (to be updated)
· Remove Edgewood Road and Birch Bluff Road from the existing MSA system
· Remove Yellowstone Trail west of Country Club Road and east of Lake Linden Drive
from the existing MSA system
.
· Add Cathcart Drive, Galpin Lake Road and Vine Hill Road to the MSA system
169. Improve the mass transit system so that the level of service equals the current rate of
taxation.
++10. Incorporate the Shorewood Trail Plan recommendations into the review of all
development proposals and plans for street construction.
12. Consider prohibiting the tIse of snowmobiles ~~ithin the community.
11. Monitor the effectiveness of current snowmobile regulations.

STUDY SESSION
1.
-- --~--~--
Planning Director Nielsen reviewed the changes Council made to the Transportation Chapter of
the Comprehensive Plan with the Commission.
Anderson questioned the age of the transportation plan. Nielsen stated that this is a long lived
plan that can be reviewed and amended every five years, as needed. He explained that once this
is approved it is routed to the Met Council and neighboring communities for compliance with
their recommendations.
PLANNING COMMISSION WORK SESSION MINUTES
JULY 21,1998 - PAGE 2
TR-3
Anderson stated that additional language needs to be included in Item No.3 stating that the City
should utilize all resources available versus economical transportation. Anderson explained that
in Item No.5 he would like it to read that the City will coordinate with Hennepin County, the
Met Council, and MnDOT for future plans. Nielsen was advised to draft language for these
revisions.
TR-6
.
Bailey questioned the road width for emergency vehicles. He stated that there needs to be
recommendations on these widths throughout the plan. Nielsen stated that this is an issue and
when resurfacing is being done that road widths are brought up to code. Nielsen explained that in
TR -17 at the top of the page, the standards for private roads state that there is a minimum of 20
feet for emergency vehicles. Nielsen stated that the fire department does review any new
development for their feedback. O'Neill suggested that Bailey study the various roadway widths
in the City and present a proposal to the Council with roads that are concerns for the City.
TR-8
With respect to Item No. 11, Bailey asked that the language, may be optional, be changed to
"shall be optional". He is concerned about the effectiveness of the statement for the City. Nielsen
stated that this was a change made by Council based on the citizens input at this point in time.
O'Neill stated that the Council would like to minimize the use of curb and gutters for new
developments and to explore runoff and ditching options. Nielsen indicated that any future
decisions will be contingent upon reports and recommendations from the City Engineer. Collins
stated that there is an aesthetic appeal to the streets without curb and gutter and that the City does
. not want to appear extremely urbanized.
Bailey noted th~t there was a type-o on Item No.4 in that it should read, with proper
signalization. I
TR-9
Bailey questioned the meaning of organized waste collection for the City in Item No. 14. Nielsen
stated that Shorewood is considering this and that the City Manager has referred this issue to a
graduate class at Hamline. Nielsen stated that there are a number of options for the City. The
City could institute a policy to mandate smaller trucks or limit the number of carriers to the City.
He explained that these options would be more cost effective and would make for less wear and
tear on the roadways. O'Neill stated that the Council strongly encourages this and needs to
encourage the citizens take part in this.

TR-17
Anderson questioned the roadway and easement widths. He asked if there should be
modifications in this area. Nielsen stated that the numbers included are recommended standards
that would be used for revising the subdivision ordinance. Nielsen stated the cul-de-sac length
could be changed to 750 feet in the future. Nielsen stated that for future new development in the
City that these numbers set a foundation and for older developments they set standards.
TR-19
.
Nielsen stated that the last sentence on this page should be an addition and not a deletion to this
paragraph. Nielsen explained that a traffic study would be done this fall at the junction of
Country Club, Yellowstone and Lake Linden Roads. The City is interested in.learning the long
term effects of the change at this intersection. A plan will be added to the transportation report
once completed.
TR-31
Anderson asked if data could be provided on the number of Shorewood residents that use the
MCTO transit system. Nielsen stated that the City is looking into this to gain information on its
use.
.
Collins stated that there is concern in regard to the amount of bicycle traffic on the foot trails. He
stated that this needs to be monitored by the City. Many cyclists are not observing the traffic
signs and do not signal their turns. Collins encouraged the Council to post City rules and
regulations on bike paths. He stated that numerous bikes are not licensed and that if trails are
considered further in the City that the behavior of bicyclists needs to be improved. He explained
that with the strong snowmobile supervision by the City, there should be something done for
bike regulations, as well. Anderson suggested that this concern also be forwarded to the Park
Commission and Council.
2. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR - None
3. REPORTS
Nielsen addressed the Commission on a letter he received from Howard's Point Marina. He
explained that there is a concern with the ordinance for marina-type businesses. The current
business in operation is a non~onforming use in accordance with City code. Nielsen stated that
the ordinance needs to be reviewed by the Commission and amended. The letter asks that the
Commission place this issue on their work plan because the applicant would like to purchase an
adjoining parcel of land and is unable to do so at the present time. Nielsen suggested that the
Commission discuss their work plan at the next Planning Commission meeting. The Commission
agreed to place this in the work plan and discuss this item in greater detail at a future meeting.
Staff was advised to respond to the applicant and tell them that their item will be placed on the
Commission's work plan.

Mr. James Hurm
Administrator
City of Shorewood
5755 Country Club Road
Shorewooe, MN 55331
Dear Mr. Hurm:
.
The current three-year Cooperation Agreement will end on September 30, 1999 and a new agreement
must be executed and submitted to HUD by mid-July. To begin the process of negotiating a new
agreement, the county board asked staff to consider alternatives to the current method of allocating
CDBG funds. The goal for any change is to further direct funding toward county housing and
community development priorities and to promote administrative efficiencies. Four possible alternatives
for discussion are attached.
A meeting is scheduled (see below) to accommodate a discussion with all cities participating in the
Consolidated Pool. Separate meetings are scheduled with cities receiving a funding allocation and with
public service providers. If you are not able to attend this meeting, please call Mark Hendrickson at 541-
7084.
Consolidated Pool Cities
Friday, March 12,1999 1:00~3:0Opm
Orono City Hall, 2750 Kelly Parkway
.
The partnership between your city and the county, during the 25-year history of the CDBG Program, has
resulted in significant accomplishments we can be proud of. It is important to the county that the new
agreement builds upon this relationship and maintains the integrity of the program into the future.
As the new director of the Office of Planning & Development, I look forward to meeting you.
Smcerely, . ~ 1'. J .

Hennepin County CnBG Program Allocation Alternatives -
Year 2000-2002
(FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY)
1. Maintain Existing Allocation Process:
Continue using HUD formula for determining funding allocations to cities. The
formula uses the city share of the urban county total population, people with incomes
at or below poverty level and overcrowded housing units. Poverty is a double-
weighted factor in the formula.
Communities that would receive a funding allocation of $50,000 or less have funds
placed in a consolidated pool for award on a competitive basis. Only communities
contributing to the pool are eligible to compete for these funds. An increase in the .
threshold to $75,000 is recommended.
Cities eligible for Metropolitan City entitlement status (Brooklyn Park and
Minnetonka) would continue to receive the greater of the Hennepin County formula
allocation or the HUD entitlement amount.
Hennepin County establishes priorities for CDBG funding and could further restrict
the type of activities to be funded.
2. Modify Existing Allocation Process:
Maintain existing allocation process, but establish set-asides for public service
activities, single-family housing rehabilitation and fair housing activities. Many
communities fund the same public service agency and we end up with several
accounts for the same agency. A single pool for public services would allow for a .
more comprehensive review of funding requests and greater coordination with county
public service funding. A selection committee would be established to make funding
recommendations. .
Funding for single-family rehabilitation is available in all cities. With the exception
of the cOhsolidated pool cities, Hennepin County maintains program budgets and
waiting lists by community. Five cities administer their own rehabilitation program.
A countywide set-aside and program would allow for greater efficiencies in program
. administration.
Set-aside up to 3 percent of the grant for activities to affirmatively further fair
housing. Activities are currently funded from the county's program administration
budget.
.
.
.
3. Discretionary Program:
The CDBG Program could be administered similar to the HOME Program. Hennepin
County would issue a request for proposals. It would be limited only to city and/or
county applications. There could be a pool for large and small cities. There could be
set-asides for public services, single-family rehabilitation and fair housing activities.
A selection committee, comprised of community representatives and o~ers, would
make funding recommendations.
Countywide funding priorities would be established in the new five-year
Consolidated Plan for program years 2000-2004.
4. Establish New Formula Allocation:
Establish a new formula allocation based upon other criteria. Possible criteria
include; giving additional weight for poverty households, age of housing, amount of
affordable housing stock, etc.
5. Other Alternatives:
