The Mayor should report that the Council plans to meet in Executive Session following the Council
meeting to discuss pending litigation with the City Attorney.
Agenda Item #3A: This is the annual liquor license approval for the American Legion. The license
period ends May 31. The enclosed resolution awards that license.
Agenda Item #3B: This housekeeping resolution authorizes the execution of a recycling grant
agreement with Hennepin County. The amount of the grant for 1997 is $21,501.
Agenda Item #3C: At the 28 April meeting the City Council directed staff to prepare a findings of
fact approving a variance for Rocky Waldin to add on to an nonconforming house at 5755
Merry Lane. The resolution in the packet includes the porch addition on the south side of the
home. Approval requires a four-fifths vote of the CounciL
Agenda Item #3D: By motion, the City Council makes permanent appointments of employees
following a six month probationary period. Public Works employee, Chris Pounder, is
recommended as a permanent employee.
Agenda Item #3E: The recommended motion is to adopt a resolution authorizing an extension of
the probationary period by up to three months for the Public Works and Parks Secretary
position.
Agenda Item #3F: This item is authorization to prepare Advertisement for Bids for the dump boxes
and hydraulic systems, and to authorize expenditures for the snow plows, sanders and radios
to be mounted on the trucks which were approved for purchase on March 24, 1997.

Executive Summary for Council Meeting of May 12, 1997
Page 2 of 3
Agenda Item #7B: In a separate packet is included the report on snowmobiling for the 1996-97
snowmobile season. The Park Commission is sending the issue back to the City Council with
a recommendation that signage be improved.
Agenda Item #8A: Late last year Richard Jenson received approval for a simple subdivision of his
property at 6020 Galpin Lake Road into two lots. He later asked for the request to be
postponed and has now conveyed his application to Richard Greer. Mr. Greer has submitted
all the appropriate documents and requests approval of the split from the City CounciL It may
be worth mentioning that Mr. Greer will likely be in next month to redivide the larger parceL
This redivision, while sooner than expected, appears to be consistent with Mr. Jenson's
resubdivision plans which had been reviewed by the Planning Commission. Approval of the
division requires a simple majority vote.
Agenda Item #8B: Jay and Dory Venero propose to build a garden shed and greenhouse structure
which significantly exceeds the allowable area of accessory space for the property in question.
The concensus of the Planning Commission was that a variance was not warranted in this case,
but that an ordinance amendment should be considered which would resolve the Venero' s
request. After considerable discussion and two public hearings, the Commission voted 5-1 to
recommend an amendment which created an exception to the accessory space regulations for
greenhouses. They further agreed to continue discussion on the broader topic of other
accessory buildings.
Item 8.B.i is a proposed text amendment which addresses the Venero request. If approved it
would be effective upon publication in the official newspaper. A four-fifths vote is required.
Item 8.B.ii is a motion to deny the variance originally requested by the Veneros. This becomes
somewhat of moot point if the amendment is adopted.
Item 8.B.iii is a draft resolution recommended by the Planning Commission which grants the
Veneros conditional use permits for accessory space in excess of 1200 square feet, a special
home occupation permit, and a special purpose fence permit. This resolution requires a four-
fifths vote by' the Council.
Agenda Item #9: This is a motion to authorize modifications to the southwest quadrant of Eureka
Road and Smithtown Road. Changes include the reduction of the width of the intersection to
help reduce the speed of drivers as they negotiate the turn, and to help solve an encroachment
of the corner radius onto private property. Ballpark cost should not exceed $3,000.00. A final
cost estimate will be presented on Monday night.
Agenda Item #10: The Public Works Department has not been able to utilize current equipment to
provide a dragging operation which adequately addresses the needs of all six fields in Freeman
Park. The recommendation is to authorize staff to accept the low quote for this piece of
equipment for an amount up to $8,275. Funds will come from the equipment replacement fund
(a $5,960 replacement of a John Deere tractor had been scheduled), and from funds that are
donated annually from the South Tonka Little League for field maintenance purposes.

Agenda Item #11B: The City has established a Flood Relief Drop-off at the Public Works
Department during the Spring Clean-up day Saturday, May 17. The League of Minnesota
Cities has sent a letter in a coordination effort asking if cities have equipment or manpower to
offer to flooded communities. The question is whether the City of Shorewood wishes to offer
anything further at this point to flood communities.
Agenda Item #11C: The City has received a letter from Minnetonka School District listing some
specific recommendations for safety improvements. Council might wish to consider referring
the list of recommendations to City staff for comment and report.
Agenda Item #IID: We will be reporting that the emergency siren at the Minnewashta School has
been fixed, tested and is functional.

have been indicated. This information will be reconfmned at such time as building occurs on the
lot. At that time a Tree Preservation Plan would be required. He noted this subdivision does not
require the removal of any trees. Councilmember O'Neill wanted to ensure there would be follow
up relative to the trees.

7. CONSIDERA TION OF MOTIONS REGARDING CHAPTER 302 OF THE
MUNICIPAL CODE PROVIDING FOR SALE OF CIGARETTES
A . A Motion to Adopt aD Ordinance Amending Chapter 302 of the City
Code Providing for Sale of Cigarettes
City Attorney Dean explained the City is seeking a waiver from the Food and Drug Administration
Regulations on the sale of tobacco products to minors. This would allow the City to enforce the
state statute which is a different set of regulations than the ones recently adopted by the Food and
Drug Administration.
City Attorney Dean explained the original ordinance at City Hall was unsigned and there was not
an affIdavit of publication on fIle. Therefore, the ordinance mayor. may not be in effect. He
recommended the ordinance be re-adopted so it will clearly be in effect.
Mayor Dahlberg noted this will result in making Shorewood more uniform with the neighboring
municipalities in that they will each be enforcing the state statute.
O'Neill moved, McCarty seconded, adopting an Ordinance amending Chapter 302
of the City Code providing for sale of cigarettes. Motion passed 5/0.
B. A Motion Authorizing Submittal of FDA Tobacco Regulation Preemption Waiver
Application

identifIcation would be required for persons 26 years of age or younger and whether the state
statute includes this provision.

regulations and he suggested the City may want to review and adopt some of those provisions at
some future time. He commented the City may want to strengthen some of the provisions.
Councilmember McCarty stated she would like to review this matter further. Mayor Dahlberg
noted his agreement.
Stover moved, McCarty seconded authorizing submittal of FDA Tobacco
Regulation Preemption Waiver Application. Motion passed 5/0.

LOCATE AN ANTENNA ON MINNEWASHTA WATER TOWER
Mayor Dahlberg noted some concerns had been raised by the Waterford neighborhood when
antennas were allowed on the water tower.
Councilmember Stover felt this to be a nonissue because the Council cannot refuse to allow a
carrier to request a Conditional Use Permit to locate their antennas in the City. There are federal
regulations which apply to consideration of these requests.
Attorney Dean stated there may be some circumstances under which the City could deny the
application to place the antennas, however, those circumstances cannot be determined until an
application is made and given consideration.
.
.
CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MINUTES
APRIL 28, 1997 - PAGE 5
Administrator Hurm noted he spoke with Principal George of the Minnewashta School. Due to the
proximity of the tower to the school, the School District would prefer a building for the equiprnent
as opposed to a fence.
Mayor Dahlberg wanted to ensure staff has researched the competitive rates which are charged for
these type of lease agreements.
McCarty moved, Stover seconded approving a request by Sprint Spectrum to
apply for a Conditional Use Permit to locate an antenna on Minnewashta water
tower. Motion passed 5/0.

which it was reported the siren at the Minnewashta school is not functional. She stated Police
Chief Young has been informed as well as the Fire Marshal.

City Engineer Brown and the Watershed District is giving consideration to allowing Shorewood to
reconstruct Strawberry Lane without dedicating any funds or holding ponds.
B. Discussion on Addition of Regular Work Session Meeting to Council
Calendar
Councilmember O'Neill requested a regular work session meeting be added on a monthly basis.
Councilmember Stover felt the work sessions should continued to be held on an as needed basis.
Councilmember O'Neill stated he feels the Council needs to meet more often than two times per
month. Mayor Dahlberg noted there are a number of issues to be discussed in a work session
format. He suggested setting work sessions to address the Comprehensive Plan and the Capital
Improvements Plan.
Councilmember Garfunkel suggested having the materials available to the Council for their review
in the event there is time after a regular meeting in which those matters could be considered.
Councilmember McCarty felt work sessions should be set as issues arise. She felt at this time,
work sessions should be set to address the issues of the Comprehensive Plan and the Capital
Improvements Plan.
Councilmember Stover noted her agreement and stated the extra meetings do place additional
burden on the staff who have bm~y schedules during the day as well.
Mayor Dahlberg stated he would support an aggressive schedule to complete consideration of the .
Comprehensive Plan and the Capital Improvement Projects. He suggested agreeing on a date to

DISCUSSION OF POLICE CONTRACT RENEWAL
.
Mayor Dahlberg summarized his meeting with the mayors of the concerned municipalities and
stated they had discussed the duration of the agreement as well as the formula for payment. He felt
there to be agreement by all participants to extend the duration of the agreement which would
improve officer morale as well as ultimately reduce the cost.
Mayor Dahlberg stated he may be interested in a contract with a term of seven to ten years. He
stated the other option would be to take over the department and sell services back to the other
municipalities. He noted this suggestion did not bring an adverse reaction among the other
municipalities and this is an option the Council may wish to consider. Mayor Dahlberg felt this
may be a logical possibility.
Councilmember Stover stated the formula being used was developed by Shorewood and it was
difficult to reach agreement among the municipalities on that formula. She expressed concern with
making changes to the formula. Councilmember Stover explained a police consultant had been
utilized in determining what size police department Shorewood could obtain with the dollars spent
on police service.
Councilmember Stover did not feel there would be a significant fmancial threat to the City in taking
over the police department and then subcontracting the services. There are some benefits in that the
Police Chief would answer to the Mayor of Shorewood rather than a committee. In addition, there
would be higher morale among the officers. Councilmember Stover strongly encouraged a ten
year contract.
Councilmember Stover commented on Section 4 of the Agreement which refers to each committee
person having an equal voice in the affairs of the committee. She noted this would give equal
voice to municipalities which are significantly smaller and paying a much smaller share.
Mayor Dahlberg commented he had suggested restructuring the agreement to allow each city to
vote a specified number of shares which would represent that city's fmancial interest in the
operation.

CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES
APRIL 28, 1997 - PAGE 2
Mayor Dahlberg further commented there are three new mayors on the committee and they are in
agreement that any change should come slowly. He requested Finance Director Rolek review the
variables which drive the formula, such as the usage statistics for the past five years. He would
like a spreadsheet, based on the past five years of statistics, projecting the costs involved.
Mayor Dahlberg requested each Councilmember review the contract and submit in writing any
questions, comments or ideas they would like to have raised.
Councilmember Stover noted in past years, the Council knew the City was growing and the cost of
this service would raise to approximately 80 percent based on demand for service. It was felt the
City received good value for the cost of the service.
Councilmember Stover commented on a formula whereby a reduction in payment by one
municipality would result in a reduction in payment by the remaining municipalities. This would
decrease the police department budget which could result in the loss of an officer. Mayor Dahlberg
stated a decision was made to keep the department at the present force.
Mayor Dahlberg asked whether there would be concern in extending the contract for ten years if
this were agreeable. Councilmember O'Neill stated he would not be opposed to Shorewood taking .
over the police department. He questioned what the cost would be. Hurm stated an analysis was
completed a couple of years ago. There would be less value for the cost of service.
Councilmember Stover felt if consideration were to be given to this option, the Council should
engage the services of a police consultant who would possess the ability to accurately and
thoroughly assess the cost versus the value obtained.
Mayor Dahlberg felt there to be two major motivations in Shorewood taking over the department.
One would be accountability in that the Chief would report directly to the City Council. The other
would be a financial analysis which would result in improved service and the ability to contract out
services to other municipalities.
"
Mayor Dahlberg stated at this point it would be his policy to proceed on the assumption the formula
is fair to the participants and efforts would be made to extend the length of the contract. He felt if
Shorewood were to take over the department, it should be a gradual change which is planned out
over a several year period of time. He stated the Council may want to extend the contract to seven .
years and during that period of time work on a plan for Shorewood to take over the department at
some point in the future.
Councilmember Stover felt the only major difference which would result in Shorewood taking over
the department would be in accountability. She felt given the cooperation of the concerned
communities, the contract at this time should be extended for ten years as it exists now. Over that
period of time, discussions relative to changes in the contract could be addressed.
Mayor Dahlberg noted the officers in the department generally stay for their entire careers and are
more productive and effective than rookies given their extensive experience. He felt this would be
a benefit in that the City would not need to hire as many officers since the present officers know
the community and the trouble spots.
Mayor Dahlberg felt the major issue in making this a Shorewood department would be
accountability. He did not feel this to be problematic at this point or that it would justify a change
in the near future. If a change is warranted, he felt this should be a slow transition.

.
Hurm suggested if discussions arise surrounding the formula for payment, the City remain strong
on the usage formula. He acknowledged that in the near future, Shorewood could possibly pay
close to 50 percent based on the services received.
Mayor Dahlberg was in agreement with Councilmember Stover in supporting a ten year contract
term. Councilmember Stover felt this would lend stability to the department.
Hurm suggested a budget stability fund. He suggested a goal of 15 percent of the budget be set
aside. In the event a community has budget difficulties, money could be borrowed from that fund.
Councilmember Garfunkel stated there would need to be stringent criteria for usage of the funds.
Mayor Dahlberg noted this would be subject to a vote of the Committee.
Councilmember Stover expressed concern one City Council may not approve the cost for their
particular municipality which would result in a reduction in the budget for the police department.
Hurm remarked if there is concern relative to accountability, there may be other options which
could be considered such as a police civil service commission and a second tier which would be a
police commission which could consist of the mayors meeting on a monthly basis. He noted there
are a variety of structures which could be utilized when addressing the issue of accountability.
Councilmember Stover noted there had been discussions in the past relative to a policing district.
She felt the outstanding benefit would be whatever city a person resides in, the same amount
would be paid for police and fire protection. In addition, there would be equal representation on
the governing board.
Mayor Dahlberg noted this matter will be further discussed among the concerned mayors in July.
3. DISCUSSION OF CITIZEN PARTICIPATION AT COUNCIL MEETINGS
AND OPEN FORUMS
Councilmember O'Neill felt this matter could be further continued since no open forums are
scheduled at this time.
.
4. DISCUSSION OF MEASURING EFFECTIVENESS OF
COMMUNICATION EFFORTS
Administrator Hurm distributed a sample survey for the Council to consider. Mayor Dahlberg felt
the specific variable to measure would be awareness, however, he acknowledged this would be
difficult to measure in a direct way.
Mayor Dahlberg would like to discuss this matter in detail at some future point. Councilmember
Stover did not feel there was any basis with which to compare. Mayor Dahlberg felt the Council
would need to agree on the variable to be compared.
Hurm suggested the Council review the survey to determine if the attempt is made to measure the
right things. Councilmember Stover felt the questions were concrete. Mayor Dahlberg stated these
are indirect measures of awareness as opposed to direct measures. Councilmember Stover felt
communication efforts would be difficult to measure, however, she did feel the survey would
reveal where funds can be most effectively used.
Councilmember Garfunkel commented on an internship application which was included in the
materials provided to Council. He noted one of the projects to be completed would be to redesign
the home page. In addition, there are technology issues which need to be addressed. Hurm stated
an internship would be an option for addressing these issues.

Councilmember O'Neill expressed concern for the quality of work which would be achieved by an
intern. Councilmember Garfunkel stated applications would be taken and the applicant would
need to justify their ability to address these issues. Mayor Dahlberg stated he would be
comfortable with Councilmember Garfunkel handling the interviews.
Mayor Dahlberg commented on the internet and new technology which is available which would
turn a desk top into an affair which receives information which is broadcast to it proactively by the
server. He stated a browser could be tuned into the City's web server and the owner could specify
the type of information they receive proactively.
Mayor Dahlberg thanked staff for the quality of the newsletter which is being produced. He noted
he continues to receive positive feedback relative to the newsletter.

Land Use Section - Including Senior Housing
Mayor Dahlberg inquired relative to the amount of land which remains undeveloped in .Shorewood.
Planning Director Nielsen estimated approximately 10 percent of the land is undeveloped at this time.
Mayor Dahlberg requested a summary oithe developments currently being completed. Nielsen listed
them to be Brynmaur, Heritage, Marsh Pointe. Watten Ponds, Smithtown Meadows, and Smithtown
Woods. He listed Manitou Woods, Gideon Woods and Spruce Court as the smaller developments
to be completed. Mayor Dahlberg requested an Executive Summary of the land which remains
Ulldeveloped.
Page LU~lt No. 3.. Councilmember O'Neill stated he is in favor of affordable housing in Shorewood,
however, he felt the wording of this section is slanted more toward developers and he would not be
in favor of increased density_
Councilmember Stover stated there was an attempt by the previous Council to provide multiple
choice housing. however, they also wanted many price ranges. She explained the point of the
development cost was to vary the costs of available housing in Shorewood.

Mayor Dahlberg felt this section should be prefaced with the preservation of existing affordable
housing. He was in favor of increasing the low cost housing without violating the existing zoning.
Counci1mp.mher O'Neill felt this provision encourages smaller lots to accommodate costs and allow
for variety which could result in developers requesting smaller lot sizes based on the wording
contained in the Comprehensive Plan
Mayor Dahlberg stated the goal is to preserve the affordable housing which exists as well as
increasing it without increasing density. He noted his agreement with Council member O'Neill and
felt there needs to be some clarification made to this section. Mayor Dahlberg suggested having
reviewed this section that any Councilmember or Commissioner wishing to do so should submit
proposed wording which can be reviewed at a future work session.
Mayor Dahlberg expressed concern the diversity, variety and aftbrdability of housing be preserved.
Nielsen inquired whether this section should address affordability as opposed to development costs.
Counci1member Stover noted her agreement as did CounciJmember O'Neill. Nielsen did feel,
however, it would be a legitimate goal for a City to have an awareness of development costs.
.
Page LU-3. Counci1member O'Neill requested a statement of opinion from the City Attorney relative
to where the Comprehensive Plan stands relative to land use. Commissioner Borkon felt it should
be reviewed and clarified.
Page LU-4, No. 11. Counci1member O'Neill felt this section would require a work session of its own.
He stated he supports senior housing, however, he did not feel the Jand costs were conducive to this
type of housing. He felt this would need to be a high density project in order to be made affordable.
Councilmember Garfimkel inquired whether or not the City would participate iin~ncially in order to
make the senior housing affordable. Councihnember Stover explained double density had been
discussed in the past. In addition, developers would be encouraged to participate with this type of
project. Tax Increment Financing had also been suggested. Nielsen felt there to be some urgency
. to this section in that a development proposal may be forthcoming. Nielsen was unsure whether this
proposal would include a request for financial assistance by the City.
.
Councilmember Stover noted one way in which the City does assist with financing is to forgive the
park dedication fee.
Mayor Dahlberg suggested the Councilmembers and Commissioners review this section and submit
their written thoughts on this matter. Councilmember O'Neill noted he is in favor of senior housing,
however, he does not think it is practical for Shorewood given the high land costs. Mayor Dahlberg
would like to ensure high density is not the only type of housing considered when looking at senior
housing.

. Councilmember Stover did not feel affordable and senior housing necessarily refers to the age of the
people residing in the home or the amount of money that particular family has. She explained senior
housing was a specific housing design which was intended to have very low maintenance, accessibility
and preferably one level. She noted there are homes where seniors reside which would not
necessarily be considered senior housing. She further explained in zoning where the density is
doubled, the housing would have to conform to that plan.
Planning Director Nielsen suggested that senior housing replace the agenda item which is currently
scheduled for the next work session given the fact a development proposal may be forthcoming.
.
Commissioner Turgeon felt the current plan covers a variety of housing types such as step-down
housing and assisted living. She noted there could be a combination of types of senior housing. She
remarked the Planning Commission has reviewed this issue numerous times and she requested this
matter not be presented fur their further consideration until the Council has made a clear and concise
decision relative to Tax Increment Financing, buying land or rights of first refusal, so that the
Planning Commission has a clear direction in which to proceed.
Administrator Hunn suggested emphasizing cluster planning and the possibility Shorewood could
work with another community relative to some cluster planning which is a concept of the
Metropolitan Council.
Counci1member Stover remarked that if a proposal comes before the Council at this time. the current
Comprehensive Plan indicates the Council will be receptive to the idea.
Page LU-5, Paragraph 2. Mayor Dahlberg inquired as to the adverse effects of piece-meal
subdivision. Councilmember O'Neill felt it would be necessaJy to have a map outlining the land which
could be subdivided prior to addressing this section.
.
Page LU-5, Paragraph 4. Councihnember Stover commented either the land owner or the City can
initiate a zoning change. She commented she did not feel anyone would be in favor of a zoning
change since most people prefer not to have change. Mayor Dahlberg stated it would not be his
intention to initiate rezoning.
Nielsen reviewed the 15 areas which are being suggested for rezoning. Conunissioner Kolstad felt
it important that the changes being recommended be addressed as quickly as possible so they are
complete before developer requests arise. Commissioner Turgeon expressed her agreement.
Mayor Dahlberg proposed the Council discuss alternative methods with which to address the
Comprehensive Plan. He suggested the Councilmembers review the items which have been discussed
and submit proposed language to be reviewed and considered. Councilmember Garfunkel felt a
broader view should be utilized.

Counciln1ember O'Neill pointed out it is the responsibility of the Council to give direction and debate
would occur at the Planning Commission level. Commissioner Borkon felt if the Council were to give
the Commission clear and concise direction. the Commission could then address these issues.
Councilmember Stover felt it to be the duty of the Council to decide on policy and then leave the
language to be determined by the Planning Commission.
Mayor Dahlberg suggested summarizing the policies which have been discussed for each section. The
Council could then revisit the issue to discuss and finalize the summaries.
Commissioner Borkon felt. senior housing to be an important issue to be addressed. She suggested
the Council discuss the relative issues with staff' and then allow staff to sununarize the directives of
the Council. It was decided the bullet point items would be submitted to the Planning Commission
who will then work on the.language for the applicable sections.
.
It was agreed Planning Director Nielsen would provide a summary of the sections which were
addressed in this session and he will provide this information to the Planning Commission for their
consideration.
Mayor Dahlberg requested the Council review this summary before it is forwarded on to the Planning
Commission for their review. The Council will then have an opportunity to comment on the summary
prior to its submission.
Mayor Dahlberg recessed the meeting at 9: 19 p.m. and reconvened at 9;29 p.rn.

This issue was not addressed.
Community Facilities Section - Induding Water System Policies
The Council reviewed a Memorandum submitted by Brad Nielsen relative to the Community Facilities
- Municipal Water dated April 29, 1997.
.
Page CF.3, No.5. It was agreed this provision would be deleted from the Comprehensive Plan.
Page CF~5. Mayor Dahlberg wouId like this section to reflect the policy will be to make the system
voluntary. Councilmember O'Neill stated when watermain is instal1ed in front of a home. the property
owner will eventually be forced to pay whether by the bank upon a sale of the property or as an
assessment when it is initially installed. He noted he would resist this as much as possible.

Mayor Dahlberg inquired how much responsibility the City should assume and whether the City
should consider itself responsible for the bank's policies. Counci1member O'Neill expressed concern
for the financial hardship this could potentially put upon a property owner.
Mayor Dahlberg felt there was some consensus in an instance where watennain is a considerable
distance from a neighborhood in which a majority of the property owners are desiring municipal
water, they would be advised of the cost to bring in the service and informed it may not be financially
feasible.
Councilmember O'Neill asked which systems are at or close to saturation point. Nielsen stated the
W oodhaven system has some limited capacity. Amesbury would need to be connected with the
Waterford system. Beyond that, the addition of the water tower and the interconnection of the two
systems has accomplished a significant portion oithe existing plan.
.
Councihnember O'Neill stated he would prefer new developments not hook into the municipal water
system. He felt at some point. 60 percent of the city would be hooked into the municipal water
system. and eventually, everyone would be required to hook up since the majority of the City is
hooked up.
Councilmember Stover inquired relative to the work to be completed on Strawberry Lane. She
suggested this may be an opportunity to inquire of the home owners how many would be in favor of
hooking up to municipal water.
Council:member O'Neill stated water quality. repairs, and issues relative to the fact that Strawberry
Lane is being reconstructed are all things which need to be considered aside from the fact that people
do not want nnmicipal water. Mayor Dahlberg commented the policy is not to expand the municipal
water system except wheD a neighborllood on a feasible basis demands it. He felt the Council should
. adhere to that policy.
.
Councilmember Stover felt the financial implications also need to be considered. Councilmember
Stover felt a developer still has a choice. He can choose not to develop in a particular area ifhe does
Dot want to pay for municipal water. She stated a person who already owns the property and then
has water forced upon them, has no choice. Councilmember Stover commented in order to make the
system as financially profitable as possible and due to the fact the majority of the City is already
developed, she felt the developer in that situation should be required to hook up to the municipal
system.
Councilmember GarlUnkel commented on watennain which would need to be run by homes where
the property owner does not want municipal water. but would be assessed for the cost because it runs
by their home.

Nielsen stated under the cmrent policy it is suggested that new development will be serviced with city
water where it is available. Mayor Dahlberg suggested taking the mandatory provision out of the
policy and making it voluntary on the part of the developer. Councilmember O'Neill asked. if made
volun'taIy, what would happen to the $10,000 assessment. . Nielsen stated those fees would still be
applicable to property owners requesting access to municipal water.
Mayor Dahlberg stated ifmunicipal water is available, the developer could choose whether or not to
hook his development up to that system..
Councilmember O'Neill raised the scenario of a neighborhood in which nine property owners would
be requesting municipal water and three property owners do not support the request. He stated he
would not be in favor of the three property owners being subjected to the costs and assessments
associated. with connection to municipal water.
Mayor Dahlberg was not in favor of allowing three property owners to veto the ability of the nine
property owners to have access to municipal water. however, he did not want those three property
owners involuntarily connected to and charged for municipal water.
.
Commissioner Tmgeon questioned Councilmember O'Neill on whether or not he believes municipal
water increases the value ora property. He stated he felt it would increase the value between $1.000
and $2,000.
Councilmember O'Neill stated if water is made available to a particular street, then every property
owner on that street must be assessed. Brown commented when a subdivision puts in water. the later
hook up would then need to be charged an equivalent amount.
Councilmember Stover felt it was more reasonable to use the policy in which every property owner
is assessed an equal amount for mwUcipal water. She noted the current plan provides that a property
owner is assessed a portion of the cost of their particular project. She felt anyone hooking onto
municipal water should be charged the same amount rather than an amount based upon the cost of
a particular project. She felt it WlIeaSonable to buy a service at a different price based on their
physica11ocarlon. Mayor Dahlberg felt user fees and cost based pricing to be very just.
.
CounciImember O'Neill stated he is in favor of requiring 100 percent of a neighborhood to request
water in order to have the ability to hook up, otherwise he would not be in favor of municipal water
being forced on someone who does not want it.
Councilmember Stover suggested that if there are several homeowners who do not want to hook u~
they could be assessed at some point in the future if or when they would decide to hook up to
municipal water.

Mayor Dahlberg felt it would be a concession to the democratic structure oflife in the City to agree
to municipal water at the request of others in the neighborhood knowing he would be forced to pa.y
the assessment at the time of a sale of the home. He stated he is very sensitive to the fact there may
be others within the City who do not feel the same.
Councilmember Garfunkel felt there would need to be a clear realization by the property owners that
at the time of a sale or refinancing of the property, the assessment would need to be paid.
Brown gave an example of the person requesting city water who would have their rights infringed
upon by those property owners vetoing access to municipal water. Councilmember O'Neill
commented the property owners who are not in favor of municipal Water would be subjected to
unwanted expenses.
.
Commissioner Turgeon felt poSSIbly a new survey should be conducted to detennine where property
owners stand on this issue. Councilmember O'Neill stated the intent of the Council to complete a
random telephone survey.
Counci1member O'Neill stated. if more than 50 percent of the residents of Shorewood want water,
then he would vote in favor of it.
Mayor Dahlberg rem.arked a combination of feasibility and the voluntary nature of the system to be
the issues fer consideration. The 100 percent policy would result in several property owners holding
up tJ'te system, or that several property owners win concede regardless of the cost which would be
imposed by the bank upon a sale of the property.
.
CO\U1cilmember Garfunkel commented the marlcet should decide. Council:menlber Stover commented
on a development where water is not available and existing residents are not being affected by an
involuntary assessment. She pointed out the water tower must be financed. Councilmember
Garfunkel noted the water tower which was built improved the service to the property owners on that
system. He questioned whether those property owners paid for any part of the water tower.
Commissioner Turgeon felt this would be double assessing those property owners. Nielsen noted an
additional mile of trunk main was installed which benefitted others as well
Councilmember Garfunkel noted the current policy provides that a development is required to hook
up to municipal water. Mayor Dahlberg felt it was the consensus of the Council that new
developments not be required to hook up. Councihnember GarfUnkel felt it should be a market driven
approach. The developer can determine whether or not there is a market for homes on municipal
water as opposed to private wells.
Mayor Dahlberg was in agreement with Councilmember Garfunkel's market driven approach in that
the developer. given. his profit margin goals in addition to the assessment market, can calculate which
is the better alternative.

Nielsen summarized the direction of the Council the plan should be voluntary and 100 percent petition
would be required. If there is less than 100 percent petition. financial feasibility and consent of those
not wanting water would be required. If one property owner does not agree. there would need to
be a decision made relative to how this would be handled.
Brown felt there could be some problem with pitting neighbor against neighbor. He noted his
understanding the project would have to always be 100 percent feasible.
Counci1member Stover commented at one point. the Council had considered a plan in which it would
required a super majority of the Council to ovenide the veto of a single property Owner.
Councilmember O'Neill stated he would be in favor of this type of resolution.
Mayor Dahlberg clarified a petition for water would required 100 percent feasibility and the second
requirement would be a 100 percent sign off by the neighborhood.
.
Nielsen commented there is a plan fur putting water throughout the city as well as an engineering plan
indicating the size of pipe to be used. He felt it important: to retain that provision of the plan.
Councilmember Stover commented when a neighborhood requests municipal water. once a feasibility
study comes back and the cost is excessive" the property owners would be allowed to withdraw their
petition. however, they would be responsible for the cost of the feasibility study.
Councibnember O'Neill requested infonnation relative to the Amesbury neighborhood. Brown
inquired of the Council relative to Strawbeny Lane. COUDciImember Stover felt the neighborhood
should be given the opportunity to voice their feelings relative to the installation of municipal water
given the upcoming work on that roadway. Counc:ilmember O'Neill requested the financial
infonnation surrounding this issue be made available so the residents can make an informed decision
relative to this.
Councilmember Stover suggested as soon as anything is known relative to work on Strawberry Lane,
the neighborhood should be informed. Mayor Dahlberg felt the notification would need to be clear
they will not be forced to hoo~ up to water. Counci1member Stover suggested simply asking for
neighborhood input relative to water. Brown will draft a notice and send it to Council for their
review.
.
Councilmember Stover would like to be careful of the phrasing used so that residents do not feel
water is going to be forced upon them. She stated she simply wants the residents informed of the
roadway work which will be occurring. They should then be allowed to voice their opinion relative
to water.
Hum stated the Council will need to discuss the funding to be used for street reconstroction.

Counci1member O'Neill requested infonnation relative to the assessment of roadway reconstruction
on Strawberry Lane. Brown noted this matter will come before Council on May 12th for approval
of plans, specifications and the advertisement for bids.
Mayor Dahlberg felt a budget and a levy should be developed which would be adequate to cover the
expense involved in roadway reconstruction. Counci1member Stover referenced an instance where
property owners would be taxed for roads they never used or where they had paid for their new
roadways at the time they purchased their new home and she inquired whether or not it would be fair
to tax property owners for a setVice they will not benefit from in their life time.
Councilmember O'Neill felt it was common practice to be assessed for a street to be rebuilt. Mayor
Dahlberg noted he is neutral on this issue.
.
Brown summarized the direction he rec:eived to be to draft a letter tbat watermains are voluntary.
however those hooked up will still be required to pay. He felt Ro1ek had raised a good point in that
since the City is going to adopt a roadway policy, should it be done on the Strawberry Lane project
with more of a public process of adopting the assessment policy.
Mayor Dahlberg stated he does not want to be in a rush to adopt a new policy without the time to
carefully ret1ect upon it.
Brown remarked nonnally although the roadways are reconstructed approximately every 40 years.
in a reclaim, there would be about 10 to 12 years.

A RESOLUTION GRANTING A VARIANCE TO ROCKFORD WALDIN
TO ADD ON TO A NONCONFORMING STRUCTURE
.
WHEREAS, Rockford Waldin (Applicant) is the owner of real property located at
5755 Merry Lane, City of Shorewood, County of Hennepin, State of Minnesota, legally
described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part hereof; and
WHEREAS, Applicant has an existing single-family dwelling, which dwelling is
located entirely within the 75 foot lakeshore setback area; and
WHEREAS, Applicant has applied for a variance to construct an addition at the
rear of the existing building consisting of a two-story living space addition and a three-
season porch addition on the south side of the existing building, which will lengthen the
existing three-season porch by six (6) feet, both of which are within the setback area; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant's request was reviewed by the City Planner, whose
recommendations are included in a memorandum, dated 25 March 1997, a copy of which is
on file at City Hall; and
.
WHEREAS, after required notice a public hearing was held and the application
reviewed by the Planning Commission at a regular meeting held on 1 April 1997 , the
minutes of which meeting are on file at City Hall; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant appeared before the City Council at a regular meeting
of the Council held on 28 April 1997 , at which time the Planner's memorandum and the
Planning Commission's recommendations were reviewed and comments were heard by the
Council from the Applicant and from the City staff; and
WHEREAS, the City staff was directed by the City Council to prepare a
resolution setting forth Findings of Fact and Conclusions approving the Applicant's request
for a variance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Shorewood as follows:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. That the subject property is a lakeshore lot located in an R-IA/S, Single-
Family ResidentiallShoreland zoning district which requires a 75 foot lake shore setback.
2. That the existing building on the property is located entirely within the
lakeshore setback area and is therefore a nonconforming structure.
3. That the proposed rear-yard addition will extend approximately nine (9) feet
into the lakeshore setback, and the porch addition at the south side of the existing building
will extend approximately nineteen (19) feet into the lakeshore setback area, both of which
additions will increase the nonconformity of the structure.
77- c._
.
.
4. That any addition to a nonconforming structure which increases the
nonconformity requires a variance pursuant to the Shorewood City Code.
. 5 . That the two-story addition and the extended three season porch on the
south side of the building have been designed as an integral part of the existing home and
the building is architecturally appropriate for the area.
6. That due to the configuration of the lot and the location of the existing
building on the lot, the Applicant has no alternative means of achieving a reasonable use of
the property under the terms of the zoning code.
7. That the additions proposed by the Applicant constitute a reasonable use of
the property and would have minimal impact on the neighboring properties.
CONCLUSIONS
1 . That the Applicant has satisfied the criteria for the grant of variances under
the Shorewood City Code and has established an undue hardship as defined by Minnesota
Statutes.
2. That based upon the foregoing, the City Council hereby grants the
Applicant's request for a variance as set forth hereinabove.
3 . That the City Administrator/Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to
provide a certified copy of this resolution for filing with the Hennepin County Recorder or
Registrar of Titles.

DATE:

RE: A Motion Authorizing Advertisement for Bids for Two (2) Dump Boxes and
Hydraulic Systems, and authorization for expenditure of funds for Two (2) Snow
Plows, Sanders, and Radio Equipment.
On March 24, 1997, the City Council authorized the purchase of two (2) cab and chasis for dump
trucks.
As an industry standard, the proceedure is to purchase the all of the various components of a dump
truck separately. This originates from separate vendors supplying each piece, and the various
purchasers requiring different specifications for the dump box, plows and accessories.
.
Statutory bidding requirements specify that purchases made over $25,000 be performed by a formal
competitive bidding process. Amounts under $25,000 can be performed by obtaining two
competitive quotations.
Staff's original estimate of the dump box and hydraulic systems were under $25,000. The quotes
received were approximately 500 dollars over the $25,000 statutory bidding requirement. Therefore,
staff is seeking authorization to advertise for bids based on the specifications as shown in
attachment 2. If authorized, bids would be opened on May 29, 1997 and presented for award at the
June 9, 1997 City Council meeting.
In addition, quotes for two snow plows and sanders have been obtained. The two quotes received
are as follows:
~,'--
MacQueen Equipment
Aspen Equipment
$10,623.00 each set (excluding sales tax)
$10,727.00 each set (excluding sales tax)
For two plows, sanders, hydraulics systems and sales tax, the low bid amounts to $22,626.99.

In addition, staffis seeking authorization for expenditure of$I,400.00 for purchase of two radios,
antennas, power harnesses for these dump trucks. The radios currently in the dump trucks will be
moved to two other vehicles that presently do not have radios.
Therefore, staff is recommending a motion which approves authorization for advertisement for bids
for two dump truck boxes, hydraulic systems, and authorizes the purchase of the other
appurtenances as outlined herein.

Shorewood, Minnesota
.
In planning and performing our audit of the general purpose [mancial statements of the City of Shorewood for the
year ended December 31, 1996, we considered its internal control structure in order to determine our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on the
internal control structure. We noted certain matters involving the internal control structure and its operation that we
consider to be reportable conditions under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in
the design or operation of the internal control structure that, in our judgment, could adversely affect the City's
ability to record, process, summarize and report [mancial data consistent with the assertions of management in the
[mancial statements.
A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control
structure elements does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that errors or irregularities in amounts that would
be material in relation to the [mancial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely
period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions.
Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control
structure that might be reportable conditions and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all reportable
conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses as defined above. We noted the following reportable
conditions that we believe to be material weaknesses.
.
Sel:rel:ation of Duties
Our study and evaluation disclosed that because of the limited size of your office staff, your organization has
limited segregation of duties. A good internal control structure contemplates an adequate segregation of duties so
that no one individual handles a transaction from inception to completion. While we recognize that your
organization is not large enough to permit an adequate segregation of duties in all respects, it is important, however,
that you be aware of this condition.
Other Matters
The following are areas that came to our attention during the audit that we feel should be reviewed:
General Fund
The total fund balance decreased by $21,396 during 1996. The fund balance at year end was $1,522,952 and is
designated for working capital.

It is important to maintain an adequate fund balance for the following reasons:
.
Expenditures are incurred somewhat evenly throughout the year. However, property tax and state aid
revenues are not received until the second half of the year. An adequate fund balance will provide the cash
flow required to fmance the General Fund expenditures.
The City is vulnerable to legislative actions at the State and Federal level. Recent years have seen the State
continually adjusting the local government aid and property tax credit formulas. An adequate fund balance
will provide a temporary buffer against those aid adjustments.
Expenditures not anticipated at the time the annual budget was adopted may need immediate Council
action. These would include capital outlay replacement, lawsuits and other items. An adequate fund
balance will provide the fmancing needed for such expenditures.
A strong fund balance will assist the City in maintaining or improving its bond rating.
We target minimum fund balance for a city your size at approximately 40% of current year expenditures based
on the factors described above. With total expenditures of $2,054,965 and transfers out of $424, 186, the
$1,522,952 fund balance is 61.4% of all expenditures and transfers out. This is adequate to meet working capital
needs.

A review of the gross profit percentage shows a drop of almost 1 % in each store. It would appear cost
increases are not being reflected in price. Sales in all three stores total $1,705,040 so a 1% decrease in gross
profit means a gross profit loss of$17,000.
The operating loss in Store I of$59,936 has caused an overall net loss in the liquor fund of$28,403. Store I
has rent of $70,954 and operating expenses of $163,789. The rent comprises 43% of operating expenses and
13.7% of sales. The Tonka Bay and Store II rent is 15% and 24% of operating expense and 2.9% and 4.0%
of sales. This comparison shows the high fixed cost Store I is operating under. If the current trend
continues, it will be impossible for Store I to make a profit.
Other concerns were noted when we test counted the liquor inventory at Store I and II. No physical
inventory was done in either Store I or Store II. The manager was relying on test counts done during the
year. Enough counts were incorrect that we felt Store I had to be counted again. The problem appeared to
center on the use of the computerized inventory system. More education of users would be beneficial in
making this system work We strongly recommend a physical inventory be done at least once a year in all
stores.
Net income as a percent of sales for the three stores in 1996 is as follows:
Store I

These percentages will not yield a significant return to the City. No transfers out of the liquor funds could be
done this year because of the poor bottom lines. The City needs to closely analyze the liquor operations to
detennine if they can be profitable in the near future.

Sales increased $69,128 from the prior year. This increase is directly reflected in an increase in
consumption.

Charges for services have increased each of the last four years but have been offset by increases in operating
expenses. It is important to monitor water rates to ensure they are sufficient to cover operations and debt

The increase in expenses was due mainly to MCES charge increasing $42,326 over the prior year. This is a
9.5% increase. Operating income is currently adequate in providing cash needs for the Sewer fund but it is
important to ensure permanent increases in expenses are covered with revenue increases.

Regular Meetinp; of March 25, 1997: Administrator Hurm referred to his memo dated 4/29/97
regarding clarification of the March 25, 1997 meeting minutes. He stated that further explanation
was necessary concerning a right-of-way statement he had made during that meeting. In the memo,
Administrator Hurm noted that the right-of-way issue is one of many potential problems concerning
an off-street trail on Smithtown Road. He requested that his memo dated 4/29/97 be made part of
Park Commission minutes.

5. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
There were no matters from the floor.
6. EVALUATION OF SNOWMOBILE DATA: '96-'97 SEASON
Chair Colopoulos noted that the ARS (911) information was collated by Virginia Kolstad, and
requested her to highlight the reports.
Virginia Kolstad reported that she had compiled and analyzed last year's data and wanted to follow
through with the same reporting format for this season's data. She referred to the report
"Snowmobile Complaints: Database Comparison 1996 and 1997". These are the police records of
activity and they fall into three categories:
1) Complaints initiated by the residents via 911 call
2) Actual incidents observed by the officers when they are out on the trail
3) Periods of time when the officers are patrolling the trail
1ft

She noted from last year's data ('95-'96 season) that frustrating situations occurred because officers
were unavailable, unable to locate the violator, were out of position, etc. She also noted that the
officers were frustrated because they were not able to apprehend the snowmobile violators from
squad cars.
This year's data revealed a different scenario: often an officer was available to respond to a
complaint; the officer was taking action to prevent a violation (stopping snowmobiler before leaving
their property, educating people on the Ordinance, passing out information); and the officer was able
to apprehend a violator because the officer was actually patrolling the trail on a snowmobile.
Virginia Kolstad referred to the December 1996 - March 1997 calendars, and observed that the
number of citations significantly dropped over this time period: 77 citations in December 1996; 21
citations in January; 29 citations in February; and 15 citations in March 1997. Her interpretation of
this data was that the enforcement had a significant impact and there were fewer violators. She also
noted that there was a reduction of complaints throughout the season. She suggested that the data
revealed that Officer Keller did an excellent job of enforcement.
Commissioner Arnst questioned Virginia Kolstad's involvement with this year's snowmobile
evaluation. Virginia Kolstad responded by stating that she had been working with Administrator
Hurm as a resident to provide some input. Commissioner Arnst verified that Virginia Kolstad
reviewed police reports, and questioned if she had spoken with residents who have come in with
complaints. Virginia Kolstad responded that she had not spoken with residents regarding their
complaints.
.
Tom Brown, 5570 Harding Lane, inquired if the MN DNR snowmobile data included complaints
from the DNR Hotline. City staff will research this inquiry.
Commissioner Arnst noted that the second page of the Database Analysis targeted four addresses and
questioned the value of this information. Virginia Kolstad's analysis compared last year's addresses
with this year's residential area of complaints. Her analysis shows that out of 99 resident complaints
last year, 43% of those came from four households; and this year out of 57 complaints
approximately 50% of those came from two households. Virginia Kolstad left the interpretation of
this data to the Park Commissioners.
There were no questions for Chief Young.
Councilmember McCarty commented on the memo dated 4/29/97 addressed to the Park Commission
from Councilmember O'Neill. Councilmember McCarty referenced the statement "I believe at this .
point in time the Council is committed to continuing with the Task Force recommendations for the
1997/98 season..." She stated that the Council has not discussed this issue. Councilmember
O'Neill's questions contained in the second paragraph of his memo are for Park Commission
discussion items.
Commissioner Bensman stated that the Park Commission was asked to evaluate and monitor the data
for this current season. A City Council decision for snowmobile usage in Shorewood is necessary.
Councilmember McCarty noted that the Task Force completed their work, and now the Park
Commission has been requested to evaluate how well their recommendations were followed.
Chair Colopoulos proposed submitting the '96-'97 evaluation data, in addition to the Snowmobile
Task Force Report to the City Council for their review and action.
Commissioner Bensman moved, seconded by Dallman, to recommend the new enforcement data
be forwarded to the City Council for their consideration.
Discussion followed regarding five questions and responses by Council as recorded in the minutes of
the April 14, 1997 meeting:
.
.
SHOREWOOD PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1997
page 3
1) Should the Park Commission make general observations and recommendations regarding
implementation of the plan? .
2) Should the Park Commission analyze the data from 1996/1997 and make comments?
3) Should the Park Commission determine further actions which could be taken to possible
improve the program?
4) Should the park Commission make specific recommendations relative to the Timber Lane
access and the LRT side trail?
5) Should the Park Commission take public input on their discussions or should this be
deferred to the Council?
Councilmember McCarty stated that the Council would like input from the Park Commission on
Questions 1 through 4 prior to making a decision relative to a public hearing.
Commissioner Bensman withdrew her motion.
Commissioner Puzak stated that the Task Force was given a problem, and addressed it in several ways:
changes in the Snowmobile Ordinance; curfew; patrol; and money. Evaluation this season should
focus on how enforcement of the changes impacted snowmobile activity; and if they did not
reduce/diminish the problem, then it would be appropriate to recommend a different approach.
Commissioner Puzak said that one issue the Park Commission could address is signage. Current speed
limit signs are too lengthy to be read from a snowmobile traveling 20 m.p.h. Commissioner Puzak
said that a snowmobiler entering Shorewood from the lake may assume the speed limit is 50 m.p.h.
Commissioner Arnst inquired if Hennepin County regulated the size of signs on the trail.
Administrator Hurm said that the City would request Hennepin County to work with us on signage;
however they do not oversee any activity on the trail during the winter months. If the City removed
the snowmobile speed limit signs at the end of each season, Administrator Hurm did not foresee any
problems with the county.
Commissioner puzak moved, Dallman seconded, to recommend to Council that the speed limit
signs be enlarged to be clearly legible from a snowmobile traveling at 20 m.p.h.; with at least 3"
high lettering. Motion carried unanimously.
Eric Jacobson, 6055 Riviera Lane, president of South Tonka Snowmobilers, noted that grant-in-aid
funding for trail grooming is under DNR control. The DNR has standard signs that are to be used on
trails supported by grant-in-aid funding. The speed limit signs found on streets and highways cannot
be used on trails.
Duane Laurila, 5595 Eureka Road, asked if the Park Commission is approving snowmobile usage on
the trail because they are recommending enlarging the speed limit signs. Commissioner Puzak said
that issue was not in the motion; they are only making a recommendation for signage.
Commissioner Puzak moved, Bensman seconded, that the following reports received by the Park
Commission be forwarded to the City Council for their consideration: Current SnoWmobile
Ordinance; Memo dated 4/21197 Summary of South Lake Minnetonka Public Safety Department
(SLMPSD); Memo dated 1/28/97 from Chief Young to Virginia Kolstad; Officer Keller's
narrative of snowmobile activity during '96-'97 season; SLMPSD Activity Report '96-'97
Season spreadsheets; Database Comparison 1996 and 1997 (ARS) Summary and 1997
Snowmobile Complaint Log; MN DNR Report; '96-'97 Trail Walk Reports; 1996/1997 Snow
Patrol Report; '96-'97 Snowfall Information; and Financial Report. Motion carried
unanimously.
7. DETAIL OF MINUTES
Chair Colopoulos opened discussion on the protocol for recording minutes of the Park Commission
meetings. He thought the minutes should be a fair and accurate representation of what was said
during the meeting; not a transcript.
SHOREWOOD PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1997
page 4
Commissioner Bensman stated that if minutes are to be useful to the Park Commission as a
recommending body, the minutes do not have to have the same accountability as minutes for a
policy-making body. Minutes are to provide evidence that there was a discussion.
Commissioner Arnst recalled when the Commission had to interpret a motion made at a previous
meeting regarding the Request For Proposal (RFP) for the concession trailer at Freeman Park. The
minutes were brief regarding this motion. Because the City Council is concerned with
communication, and the fact that Park Commission minutes are now available on the Internet, she
would prefer detailed minutes for reference purposes.
Commissioner Puzak referred to Robert's Rules of Order stating that minutes are the official record
of proceedings at meetings. Minutes should reflect the actions, motions, tab lings and proceedings of
the meeting, and not as much of the conversation. He also stated that if the Park Commission finds
an error or misrepresentation, then they will request the secretary to review and re-write as opposed to
any Commissioner submitting an alternate section for their review.
Commissioner Bensman suggested a synopsis of the meeting be presented on the web page in lieu of
the actual minutes. Commissioner Puzak felt that information on the web page should be concise.
Commissioner Wilson responded to Commissioner Arnst's concern about the minutes documenting
the RFP motion because he was involved in that particular discussion. He noted that the
Commissioners did refer to the minutes and found clarification of the issue.
.
8. NEW BUSINESS
Administrator Hurm reminded Commissioners that the two May meetings will begin at 6:00 P.M. for
the park tours, followed by regular meetings beginning at 8:00 P.M. The Freeman Park picnic
shelter and tennis courts will be discussed during the tour on May 13, and a public hearing for a
Conditional Use Permit will be held on May 20 during the Planning Commission meeting.
9. ADJOURNMENT
Commissioner Arnst moved, Bensman seconded, to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried
unanimously. Meeting was adjourned at 9:10 P.M.

Memorandum
To:
From:
RE:
Park Commission
James C. Hurm
Clarification on the March 25, 1997 Park Commission Meeting Minutes
At the last Park Commission meeting Commissioner Pat Arnst submitted a sheet of additional minutes
for the March 25, 1997 meeting. In those minutes I was attributed as saying that it is the City's
position that we do not have right-of-way problems on Smithtown Road. That clearly did not come
across as I had intended. Therefore I feel further explanation is in order.
Pat Arnst asked the question:
"I think there is a lot of valuable information here, but there is one question that
keeps coming up in my mind and that is: What are our right-of-way problems on
Smithtown Road? Do you know the answer to that? I think if we have seven or
eight pieces of property that we have a definite problem with, how much time do
we want to spend until we have resolved what our problems are in that areaT
That question deserves a much more thorough and thoughtful response:
There are clearly a whole range of issues to be addressed regarding an off-street trail on Smithtown
Road. Potential right-of-way conflicts is one of a number of potential problems:
. There are strong feelings against an off-street trail by properties along the route.
. The City's policy generally has been to incorporate trail construction with the reconstruction of a
street. Smithtown Road is no longer scheduled for reconstruction.
. Funding mechanism - because Smithtown Road is not scheduled for reconstruction, State MSA
funds cannot be used. This then would affect the fund balance in the City's trail fund, thereby
affecting other potential trail projects.
. There have been lengthy petitions both for and against an off-street trail. A trail would need to
be designed around existing trees, boulders, bushes, and mailboxes.
. There are significant drainage concerns that a trail design would need to take into consideration.
. Some homes are very close to Smithtown Road, raising privacy concerns and causing a shift of
the trail.
. Some landowners may now claim ownership to what had been State right-of-way over many
decades. At some point when we know how much right-of-way will be needed, we will need to
identify and talk with those who feel they own and should receive compensation for that right-of-
way.
It is good to have a committee of the Park Commission work with staff to devise a schedule for
reviewing the Smithtown trail question. I am not convinced that right-of-way questions are any more
pressing than any of the other questions and challenges before the Commission.

1. ZONING ORDINANCE DISCUSSION - ACCESSORY BUILDINGS
(GREENHOUSES)
.
Vice Chair Turgeon was in contact with the Department of Agriculture relative to their requirements
as they relate to greenhouse structures. Mark Zabel, Department of Agriculture, was in attendance.
Jay and Dory Venero were present along with their son, Mafk-Mike.
Vice Chair Turgeon raised a concern of where the fertilizers and pesticides go when the plants are
watered. She explained a water recycling system which would recycle and contain the water.
Mr. Zabel explained the Department regulates pesticides and fertilizers but not the water itself.
There would be no enforcement implemented unless it became apparent there was a direct threat to
a water resource. He stated he would recommend the water recycling approach which Vice Chair
Turgeon described.
Mr. Zabel explained the Department does regulate the bulk storage of pesticides and fertilizers.
The volume for pesticides would be anything over 55 gallons. He further explained there are
specific cut off points for bulk storage of pesticides and fertilizers. In cases where bulk storage
becomes a factor, primary and secondary containment becomes necessary. Primary containment
would relate to packaging and secondary containment would relate to diking or some means to
protect against a general release so that the substance could be recovered if it were to leak into a
dike.
Planning Director Nielsen inquired of the Venero' s the type of pesticide they would envision using
in their operation. Mike Venero stated it would be minimal. Vice Chair Turgeon noted this issue
was raised due to the Venero's' high water table. Mr. Venero stated the golf course has the same
- f'
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
APRIL 15, 1997 - PAGE 2
high water table and in his opinion they are using several hundred pounds of chemicals on the
greens, including fertilizers.
Vice Chair Turgeon reminded this amendment to the ordinance is not specific to the Venero's, but
will address any future proposals which are presented.
Mr. Zabel stated occasionally the Department will inspect greenhouses for back flow prevention as
well as for chemicals and insecticides in the hose sprinkling system would require a permit.
However, an inspection of a lower scale operation such as the Venero's are requesting would be
complaint driven.
In the case of restricted use pesticides, there is a state requirement the person performing the
application obtain a commercial restricted use pesticide application license.
Nielsen asked Mr. Zabel about the setback which would be required from private wells. Mr. Zabel
explained that to be a Department of Health requirement. The Department of Agriculture would be
concerned with the bulk storage requirement. Mr. Venero stated it would not be his intent to use
the well, but rather the ground water.
Commissioner Champa pointed out the fertilizer is applied to the plants and not directly into the
ground other than spillage. He felt this to be a rather insignificant issue.
Commissioner Lizee felt this to be a more significant issue and noted many cities are requiring
water recirculation system to ensure the water is not going back into the ground. She stated the
Commission must look at the big picture rather than simply the request at hand. Vice Chair
Turgeon noted her agreement.
Commissioner Kolstad inquired whether the ordinance amendment needs to be made specific to
greenhouses. She noted anyone having a problem with their lot, whether lot size or house size, is
inconsistent with the zoning requirements. The Commission could then have some flexibility in
working within the ordinance regardless of the use which is proposed. She suggested looking at
the broader issue of accessory buildings.
Commissioner Kolstad stated she would not be in agreement with making an exception for
greenhouses. She suggested in those situations where the lot or primary building is inconsistent .
with the district zoning requirement, the Commission could be given flexibility to allow accessory
space up to two-thirds of the maximum of either the lot size or the house size.
.
Mr. Zabel commented the discussion sounds more like a garden with a cover on it. Commissioner
Champa agreed and stated there are larger gardens within the city than the greenhouse being
proposed. He noted his agreement with Commissioner Kolstad.
Commissioner Kolstad felt greenhouses should probably have their own set of regulations due to
the nature of the vegetation and the length of time a greenhouse is in use as opposed to a garden.
Nielsen stated a home occupation would require a Conditional Use Permit and the conditions could
be worked into that permit. Vice Chair Turgeon suggested an Interim Use Permit. Nielsen stated
he would look into this. He did not feel there was a difference between the Interim Use Permit and
the Conditional Use Permit. Commissioner Kolstad stated the be Refit would be that the Interim
Use Permit would giYe the City some control in that the property could be inspected to ensure the
use had Rot changed felt the benefit of an Interim Use Permit is that there is a time limit on it..
Nielsen explained if the conditions of the Conditional Use Permit are violated the permit can be
revoked.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
APRIL 15, 1997 - PAGE 3
Attorney Greenswig noted there is also the option of licensing home occupations. This gives the
City the opportunity to review on a regular basis whether the conditions set by the City are being
met. The City would also have the opportunity to change those conditions upon the conditional
grant of the license.
Commissioner Champa remarked if greenhouses can be handled with a Conditional Use Permit,
each application could be considered separately. He stated he would like to pursue the suggestion
of Commissioner Kolstad.
Commissioner Foust was in agreement with Commissioner Kolstad. Commissioner Lizee would
like to pursue that suggestion as well, but would also like to pursue specific regulations for
greenhouses.
Nielsen suggested working on the concept presented by Commissioner Kolstad and bringing it
back to the Commission for their consideration. He further suggested addressing the issues and
concerns associated with greenhouses. Those concerns could be incorporated into this particular
Conditional Use Permit to be used as a model for future requests or those concerns could be
included in this particular Conditional Use Permit and then incorporated into the ordinance at a
future date.
.
Attorney Greenswig pointed out there are some provisions in state law which restrict the ability of
cities to regulate the use of pesticides.
Commissioner Champa asked whether or not spill stations are a requirement for the mixing of
pesticides. Mr. Zabel stated that would depend on the size of the operation, but it would not be
required for an operation the size Mr. Venero is requesting.
With respect to drainage, Mr. Venero proposed an earth floor with surface crushed rock. He
commented the amount of fertilizer he intends to use in this operation would be similar to that used
on a lawn.
.
Mike Venero stated he would fertilize according to the light. In higher light concentrations, more
fertilizer would be required. Low light conditions would result in less fertilizer.
Commissioner Foust inquired whether any glass vents would be used in the building. Mike
Venero noted it to be a requirement in this state to use tempered glass. He provided samples for
the Commission to view.
In response to lighting concerns, Mike Venero stated there are energy curtains which can be used
throughout the year. He further stated he does not anticipate high intensity lighting. Mr. Venero
stated he probably will not light the greenhouse at all. Vice Chair Turgeon suggested limiting the
lighting from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. there be no lighting between the hours of 9:00 p.m.. and
6:00 a.m.
Commissioner Turgeon inquired as to the heating which will be used. The Venero's stated it
would be natural or LP gas, but would not be wood burning. Commissioner Champa noted there
is nothing in the ordinance to prevent a wood burning stove in a home. He felt this should be
addressed at some point as well.
Nielsen stated he will prepare a draft of an ordinance amendment which will be presented at the
May 6, 1997 meeting. Mike Venero suggested relating the square footage of accessory space to
the remaining square footage of the property less the foot print of the house.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
APRIL 15, 1997 - PAGE 4
Vice Chair Turgeon felt it would be difficult to arrive at an average within a zoning district versus a
neighborhood. Commissioner Kolstad felt Mr. Venero's suggestion te- could be a solution to the
problem.
Vice Chair Turgeon asked Nielsen to provide the pros and cons for each scenario along with an
analysis of each.
Vice Chair Turgeon recessed the meeting at 8:33 p.m. and reconvened at 8:40 p.m.
2. DISCUSS ADULT USE ORDINANCE
City Attorney Greenswig addressed thisissue. Nielsen presented a draft ordinance for review.
Commissioner Foust asked if there could be a joint powers cooperation in this regard or is it
possible Shorewood is too small or too residential to allow this type of use.
Commissioner Kolstad also inquired whether Shorewood would be considered too residential for
this type of use. Attorney Greenswig felt it would be unlikely the other cities would want to
accommodate this sort of request for Shorewood. He explained at this point, the Council will need .
to approve or disapprove any request which would come forward, and it would be that decision
which could give rise to a lawsuit.
Vice Chair Turgeon felt the spaces available would be somewhat limited. Attorney Greenswig
pointed out if the shopping center were the only land which is reasonably feasible and accessible,
whether or not the applicant could get the landlord to lease, would be between the applicant and the
landlord and would not be a concern of the City.
Attorney Greenswig noted the proximity to churches, daycares and liquor stores would be
considerations in reviewing possible locations.
Commissioner Kolstad questioned Section 309.02, Subd. 1, and the definition of an adult
establishment. Attorney Greenswig noted this would include bars. Nielsen stated the ordinance
would allow a video store to have a back room type area which would allow for a certain
percentage of adult materials.
Commissioner Kolstad questioned Section 309.03 and the reference to an establishment not being
located within a certain number of feet of an agricultural preserve. Attorney Greenswig stated
agricultural land is often thought of as residential as well as a place were children would visit on
field trips.
.
Nielsen inquired whether a daycare or church would be disallowed from locating within the same
distance to an adult establishment. Attorney Greenswig felt this would create a nonconforming use
and the zoning map would then require an amendment which would allow for another location for
the adult establishment to relocate.
Commissioner Champa asked if a specific area could be designated for adult use establishments
and requested that information be specified in the ordinance. Nielsen stated this could be
somewhat regulated by radiuses from various types of uses, but it would not be favorable to
specify one particular area.
Commissioner Kolstad questioned the type of investigation the Chief of Police would be
conducting as referenced in Section 309.06, Subd. 4. Attorney Greenswig stated he would be
looking to see there are no prior convictions and that the applicant meets the requirements for a
license.
.
.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
APRIL 15, 1997 . PAGE 5
Commissioner Lizee suggested questioned the area zoned C-2, on the corner of Eureka and
Smithtown as a possible location. Nielsen stated the Comprehensive Plan speaks to down zoning
the area residential. In addition, he felt these uses would be limited to the C-3 zoning areas.
Nielsen noted this matter will come back to the next study session for further review.
3. REVIEW PLANNING COMMISSION PRIORITIES CHECKLIST
Nielsen stated the Council is reviewing the Comprehensive Plan and the Capital Improvement Plan
at this time. Some changes will be made to the Comprehensive Plan. He noted the changes to the
Natural Resources section of the plan were minimal. He felt the biggest concern at this time would
be for the Planning Commission to revisit the setback and buffer requirements for wetlands.
(Commissioner Borkon arrived at 9:25 p.m.)
Nielsen stated anything which amends the Comprehensive Plan will require a public hearing. In
addition, a more significant issue such as the municipal water system will require a public hearing.
Nielsen pointed out the Comprehensive Plan and zoning must be made consistent and this will be a
priority item.
Commissioner Champa inquired what the deadline would be for completion of the Capital
Improvement Plan. Nielsen stated the Capital Improvement Plan leads to the budget, however, the
deadlines are self imposed. He noted budget discussions generally begin in June.
Vice Chair Turgeon suggested identifying the issues which can be dealt with during the time the
Council is working on the Comprehensive Plan. Nielsen anticipated by the end of June the
Planning Commission will have direction from the Council relative to the Comprehensive Plan.
Nielsen distributed the Planning Commission Priority Checklist and reviewed the tasks and
projects remaining to be addressed.
Vice Chair Turgeon listed six items which the Commission can begin to address since they are
separate from the Comprehensive Plan -subdivision ordinance, LR District regulations, lake
access, refuse hauling, steep slopes and grading ordinances.
Vice Chair Turgeon suggested the issues of steep slopes and grading be first considered. This
section would then be completed.
4. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR - None
5. REPORTS
Commissioner Kolstad. Discussion of New Urbanism 1997
Commissioner Kolstad reported on her attendance at the New Urbanism 1997 seminar which was
presented by Town Planning Collaborative and provided a handout to the Commission relative to a
traditional neighborhood design. In addition, she provided photos depicting this concept. She
stated the theory would be to develop neighborhoods as opposed to developments and to be more
of a traditional neighborhood rather than a transportation oriented development. .
Commissioner Borkon questioned whether some diversity is being given up given the fact the units
are very similar. Commissioner Kolstad stated this happens due to the high density which is
recommended. Vice Chair Turgeon felt this would be a good idea for senior step-down housing.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
APRIL 15, 1997 - PAGE 6
Commissioner Kolstad felt this would be a good solution for an affordable housing type
community which could include residential with some commercial to provide convenience.
Vice Chair Turgeon reported on the City Council work session on April 7, 1997, at which time the
Council addressed the issue of the Capital Improvement Plan. A letter was distributed from Chair
Pisula relative to this meeting with the Council.
Commissioner Turgeon expressed concern that people who want water will not be able to get it.
She felt they are being denied an opportunity that other people are being afforded. Councilmember
Garfunkel stated his opinion is water is not a right of a citizen of Shore wood, but rather a service.
Commissioner Kolstad noted there had been five people on the Council who had decided the
citizens wanted municipal water and there are now five people on the Council who have decided
the citizens do not want municipal water. She stated she would really like to know what the
residents of Shorewood want. Commissioner Borkon suggested another surveyor referendum to
ascertain the wishes of the community. Commissioner Lizee felt another survey would be
appropriate. Councilmember Garfunkel did not feel the results would be different from the study
which was completed in 1991.
.
Commissioner Lizee commented the legacy needs to be considered and the City needs to be
responsible for the future and consider what will happen in the future in the reality of economics.
Commissioner Borkon felt because there is controversy on this issue and it is not known one way
or the other how the residents feel on this issue, a surveyor referendum should be pursued. She
stated she does have a concern relative to fmances and the legacy that is being left for the future.
Commissioner Champa felt another issue to be addressed should be fire protection which is
available for the residents by way of fire hydrants and felt this could be a source of revenue.
Nielsen stated that a fire hydrant charge had been considered.
Commissioner Champa also felt the Council should get public input on whether or not the residents
of Shorewood want municipal water. Councilmember Garfunkel stated this will be explored to see
where people stand on this issue.
A communication strategy relative to planning and zoning was distributed regarding the Venero's' .
greenhouse request. Nielsen requested the Commission review the form and advise him of any
additions they would like to see in the form. The Commission approved of the form as presented.

25 March 1997 (Revised 4 April 1997)
Venero, Jay and Dory - C.U.P for Accessory Space in Excess of 1200 Square
Feet/Variance to Exceed Floor Area of Principal Structure/C.U.P. for Special Home
Occupation Permit/C.U.P. for Special Purpose Fence
Fll..E NO.:
405 (97.05)
BACKGROUND
.
Jay and Dory Venero own the property at 5985 Seamans Drive (see Site Location map - Exhibit A,
attached). For thepast several years they have operated a small gardening business under a limited
home occupation permit The Veneros now wish to construct a combination garden shed and
greenhouse at the rear of the property (see Exhibit B), the area of which, when combined with an
existing garage, exceeds 1200 square feet. They have requested a conditional use permit pursuant
to Section 1201.03 Subd. 2.d.(4) of the Shorewood Zoning Code. Since the total amount of
accessory space also exceeds the floor area of the principal structure on the property, they have
requested a variance to the size limitations imposed by the Code. An additional conditional use
permit is required because the applicants' current home occupation will now be conducted within
an accessory building. Finally, the applicants propose an eight-foot high fence to enclose their
garden area to protect it from deer. This also requires a conditional use permit.
The subject property is zoned R-IA, Single-Family Residential and contains 82,522 square feet of
area (1.89 acres). The site is currently occupied by the applicants' home and an existing garage.
Single-family homes border the property on the north and south and across Seamans Drive to the
west. The Minnetonka Country Club lies to the east of the property.
The existing home contains approximately 1862 square feet of area between two stories. The
existing garage contains 1210 square feet of area. The proposed garden shed/greenhouse contains
1500 square feet of floor area. Exhibit C shows an outline of the proposed building. The
applicants describe the construction of the proposed building as follows:
,4:.--
. One half of the new building will be garden shed, one story, 2x6 frame construction
with an asphalt shingle roof, horizontal lap siding and a single 9'x7' overhead door on
the west end

. The greenhouse half of the building will be approximately 1-2 feet shorter than the
shed, aluminum frame with honeycomb Lexan panels
The applicants have submitted a written description of their request (Exhibit D) which also contains
comments from their neighbors.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
The applicants' request involves several sections of the Shorewood Zoning Code including
conditional use permit procedures, variance procedures, accessory buildings and home occupation
requirements. Following is how the applicants' proposal compares to the Code:
A.
.
.
B.
Conditional Use Permit - Accessory Space Over 1200 Square Feet. Section 1201.03
Subd. 2.d.(4) sets forth four criteria for this type of C.U.P.
1. The total amount of proposed accessory space on the property (2710 square feet)
exceeds the floor area above grade of the existing home (1862 square feet). For this the
applicants' have requested a 848 square foot variance. The variance will be discussed
in detail further on in this report. Without a variance the applicants could build an
additional 652 square feet of accessory space. .
2. The total amount of accessory space does not exceed 10 percent of the minimum lot size
for the R-IA zoning district (.10 x 40,000 sq. ft. = 4000 sq. ft.).
3. The proposed building will be located 50 feet from the rear property line, 60 feet from
the north property line, and 145 feet from the south property line. This complies with
R-IA setback requirements. The building is 13.5 feet in height. Due to the relatively
flat nature of the property, site grading and alteration necessary to accommodate the
structure are considered to be minimal.
4. The shed portion of the building will be similar in materials and architectural character to
the existing home and garage. The greenhouse will be most visible from the golf
course.
Conditional Use Permit - Special Home Occupation Permit. Shorewood's Zoning Code
contains provisions for allowing residents to conduct businesses on residential property.
The Veneros currently operate under a "limited home occupation permit". Since the
business will now be extended to an accessory building, a conditional use permit for a
"special home occupation permit" is required. Section 1201.03 Subd. 12 contains the
requirements for home occupation permits. In evaluating this request the Planning
Commission and Council should review this section of the Code in its entirety. Following
are provisions which deserve particular attention:
d.(I) General Provisions
"(c) Any home occupation shall be clearly incidental and secondary to the residential
use of the premises, shall not change the residential character thereof, and shall result in
no incompatibility or disturbance to the surrounding residential uses."

.
C.
D.
.
"(d) No home occupation shall require internal or external alterations or involve
construction features not customarily found in dwellings except where required to
comply with local and State fIre and police recommendations."
d.(3) Requirements - Special Home Occupation
"(b) Special home occupations may be conducted within an accessory building."
It should be noted that under their current limited home occupation permit, only people
residing on the premises may work there, clientele are limited to one at a time and over-the-
counter sales of merchandise is restricted. A special home occupation permit may have one
employee who does not live there, may carry stock-in-trade incidental to the business, and
may serve more than one client at a time. It should also be realized that the City can impose
additional conditions on the permit to address special concerns which may be identifIed.
Conditional Use Permit - Special Purpose Fence. Section 1201.03 Subd. f.(ll) states
"Fences for special purposes and fences differing in construction, height or length may be
permitted in any district in the City by issuance of a conditional use permit."
Ordinarily fences in residential districts are limited to six feet in height. The applicants
propose an eight foot high lattice fencewith approximately three foot horizontal cross
members in order to keep deer from damaging their garden. The example shown in the
photograph submitted by the applicants is heavily landscaped. The landscaping proposed
in their written request consists primarily of deciduous plants and vines. If the fence is to
be approved, it is recommended that the applicants be required to submit a detailed
landscape plan including some coniferous shrubs to soften the mass of the fence during the
leaf-off seasons.
Variance - Accessory Space in Excess of Principal Structure Floor Area. As mentioned
earlier in this report the applicants can build approximately 652 square feet (roughly 24' x
27') of additional accessory space in conformance with the Code. Combined with their
existing garage, this equates to a six-car garage. They have requested a variance of 848
square feet in order to build the shed and greenhouse. Criteria for the consideration of
variances is contained in Section 1201.05 Subd. 2. of the City Code. Subd. 2.b. sets forth
specific criteria, all of which must be satisfIed in order to grant a variance. Following is
how the applicants request complies with the Code:
1. There are no special circumstances (e.g. soils, water or topographic conditions) which
are peculiar to the applicants' property. The lot is relatively level and contains no
wetlands. As stated by the applicants, their problem arises from the size of the house,
which could be made larger if they so choose.
2. The provisions of the Code do not deprive the applicants from rights commonly enjoyed
by properties in the R-1A zoning district. They are allowed under the Code to have the
same amount of accessory area as the floor area of the principal structure above grade.
While this may be less than a property with a larger house on it, it is more than a
property with a smaller house on it.
3. The need for the additional accessory space stems largely from the applicants' business
needs. The 652 square feet which is allowed under the Code would easily .
accommodate two vehicles.

C. U.P.' s and Variances

4. Granting the additional space would confer a special privilege on the applicants which is
not available to other properties in the same district. The applicants cite other similar
buildings but are not specifIc as to which ones they are. Presumably, these other
structures existed before the current codes and are "grandfathered in". Large accessory
buildings are not characteristic of the neighborhood in which the applicants live.
5. The applicants' request suggests that extra accessory space is necessary to make
reasonable use of their larger lot. However, besides a single-family residence and
space equivalent to a six-car garage, they are allowed to conduct their gardening
business on the property. This is viewed as being a reasonable use of residential
property .
RECOMMENDATION
Although the three conditional use permits involved in this application are easily resolved, the
applicants' request hinges on their ability to obtain a substantial variance to the Code. Simply put,
the variance does not meet the criteria for granting an exception to the existing rules. This was
suggested to the applicants in a pre-application conference with staff. It was also suggested that
the types of arguments they make in support of their plans would be more appropriate in a
discussion of amending the existing regulations. Nevertheless they chose to apply for a variance
rather than an amendment.
It is important to know that the current regulations for accessory buildings are the result of
considerable study from the early 80' s. After years of discussion, it was determined that
Shorewood was a residential community, and that accessory structures should not be the dominant
feature on a lot. The rules establish a residential proportion between accessory buildings and the
size of property. With some minor amendment after the initial adoption of the rules, they have
been very effective in allowing residents adequate accessory space while preserving a residential
scale.
While the variance can not be supported, there appears to be some neighborhood support for some
type of change in the rules. There may, for example, be some merit in considering a zoning text
amendment which might create some exception for greenhouses. . If the Planning Commission
agrees, the applicants should be directed to make such an application. If such an amendment is to
be considered it is suggested that the applicants scale down the shed portion of their building to the
amount they would be all.owed under the current Code (approximately 652 square feet). If
greenhouses are to be exempted in any fashion, considerations should be given to lot size,
architectural design and building materials and landscaping.

Variance/Conditional Use
In addition to the the items we submitted to you at our meeting on March 3, we have enclosed the
additional items you have requested:
.
Additional information for Conditional Use (Page 2)
Variance requirements (Page 3, 4)
Legal description for the 14' along our east line (page 5)
Building elevation (Page 6)
Additional information on plan to include existing trees and size and existing garden area.
.
.
.
.
The initial packet is also included - pages 7 through 21.
We understand that getting this information to you today (Friday, March 7) will allow these materials to
be presented in April.
Enclosed are our checks for the fees for the Variance - $300.00 and for the Conditional Use $200.00.
Please call us if you require additional materials. Note that we are including 5 sets.
Exhibit D
APPLICANT'S WRITTEN REOUEST
1201.04: ADMINISTRATION, AMENDMENTS AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS.
Subd. 2. Amendments - Initiation:
The City Council or Planning Commission may, upon their own motion, initiate a request
to amend the text or the district boundaries of this Ordinance. Any person owning real
estate within the City may initiate a request to amend the district boundaries or text ofthis
Ordinance so as to affect his own real estate.
Weare requesting now that amendments be made to change the text and district boundaries. The
ordinance as it now stands is extremely biased. In fact, we also must request a variance because our
home isn't large enough to meet the square footage requirement stipulated under this ordinance..
We moved to Shorewood in 1973. At that time these ordinances weren't in place. In the mid 80's we
tore down 3 large buildings on our property. Ifwe had not removed them, we would have much more
square footage than what we are requesting. The buildings removed were a chicken coop, large hay
shed, and a large 2 stall garage with the typical addition to the back to accommodate the longer cars.
.
We are requesting that the Planning Commission and City Council motion to make changes to this
ordinance.
Subd. 3. Conditional 'Use Permit:
a.Purpose: The purpose of a conditional use permit is to provide the City of Shorewood
with a reasonable degree of discretion in determining the suitability of certain designated
uses upon the general welfare, public health and safety. In making this determination,
whether or not the conditional use is to be allowed, the City may consider the nature of the
adjoining land or buildings, whether or not a similar use is already in existence and located
on the same premises or on other lands immediately close by, the effect upon traffic into
and from the premises, or on any adjoining roads, and all other or future factors ad the
City shall deem a prerequisite of consideration in determining the effect of the use on the
general welfare, public health and safety.
.
We don't know how many greenhouses or garden/storage buildings exist in Shorewood -- but we do
know they exist. There is a greenhouse on Eureka Road within several blocks of our home, a
greenhouse/poly house, large storage on Smithtown, a very large garage just next door to us -- and on
and on. We all know of the discrepancies. The City's answer to this is that they were in place prior to
the change in the City's ordinance. Have there been exceptions after the ordinance was in place?
1201.05:
ADMINISTRATION, VARIANCES AND appeals:
Subd.2.
Conditions Governing Consideration of Variance Requests:
Under current ordinance we are required to request a variance because the square footage of our home
doesn't accommodate our request. In fact, if our home were only 10' wider, we wouldn't be required to
request a variance. In that we have two acres of land, we will consider this an extreme hardship if our
request is denied or modified. Indeed it would seem very odd, especially since we have removed farm
type buildings -- with sizes that would far exceed the square footage that we are now requesting.
It's been years since we've been able to store one of our vehicles in the garage. Our garage provides
winter protection for one car. The balance of the garage stores our lawn tractor, sprayer, lawn vacuum,
etc. We need to also have garage space for our other vehicle. The new shed will be used to store the
lawn equipment, yard tools and supplies and provide a potting area and all around storage space.
Reducing the size of the shed/greenhouse would not be practical. Again, we have two acres. If our
house were only 10' wider, this variance wouldn't be neccessary.
.
Deer population. Shorewood's deer population is ever increasing.. The deer problem to us may be seen
as the same for us as every home owner in Shorewood. But, it's much more to us and any serious
gardener. We've had our complete vegetable garden wiped out, we've had specimen plants destroyed.
Gardening is more to us than a "hobby" or a means of supplemental income, Gardening is our golf, our
boat, our snowmobile, our camper, our summer fitness, our relaxation, our respite away from our fast
paced work life, our peace and quiet. It is in fact our long range plan for our retirement years. One
might say that - it's our life! Some years ago I came across this poem.
In old green gardens hidden away
From site of revel! and sound of strife --
Here may I live what life I please,
Married and buried out of sight.
.
We hope you can appreciate what a big part our gardening plays in our lives. If you do, you can
understand why we want to extend this summer activity into the winter by means of a greenhouse. While
we are a good many years from retirement age, this project is really with our retirement in mind. While
many dream of spending winters in Florida or Arizona, our plans ate for expanding and improving our
gardens and plant materials, enjoying our love for orchids, and our desire to hybridize and bring rare and
new plants to our area, and share them with our fellow gardeners..
Will this plan make improvements to our yard? Will it improve the view our neighbors have? We think
it will:
· We now have an electric fence around our vegetable garden -- which is onsitely and undesirable.
This will be replaced with an attractive arbor. (Picture on page .)
· The arbor will conceal a grape arbor which is not particularly good looking.
· The arbor will conceal our compost heaps.
· The arbor will conceal our cold frames.
· The arbor will be planted with climbing and flowering perennials -- such as roses, clematis,
wisteria, porcelain vine, hydrangea.
· The shed will be styled with paned windows and flower boxes. It will have charm.
· The greenhouse will not be a poly house.
· Everything about the project will be done to have an end result that will look good and that our
neighbors will be pleased with.
.
.
c. Application for a variance shall set forth reasons that the variance is justified in 0 rider
to make reasonable use of the land, structure or building, and that the variance is the
minimum variance necessary.
What is reasonable use of a 2 acre parcel?
We have a modest house and we have a garage.
We have many flower gardens and a large garden plot for vegetables and propagation of flowers. We try
to grow enough vegestables to last us through the winter.
What do we want?
We want to build a shed to be used as a garden shed/greenhouse and enclose the vegetable plot with an
arbor in place of the electric fence which will hide our compost heaps, etc. We need the storage space
so we aren't forced to store our lawn vacuum, trailer, sprayer, etc., outside -- we need to keep our
vehicle in the garage this coming winter season.
We had 3 farm buildings which probably weren't too reasonable for a residential area. When we put the
addition on our house in the mid 80's, the building inspector at that time said that if all building
contractors built like our addition was being built, he would be out of a job. 'With the exception of the
block work for the basement, the addition was built by us. Again, we want to emphasize that the project
will be done well with the end result always in mind.
Miscellaneous:
We understand that the arbor we are proposing falls under the guidelines of a building in regards to the
height allowance of 8'. The arbor will be used around our existing vegetable/flower garden and around
three sides of the proposed garden shed/greenhouse. This will be a very pleasing architectural element to
our landscape and allow us to remove the onsitely electric fence which we've been forced to use. The
arbor plans are based on an article from the Garden Design magazine and we have included a color
photograph in this packet. The arbor will have all the architectural details including the finials. One
exception will be that the lattice will be more open.

RE: Conditional Use
Dear Brad:
We are submitting the following materials as required for the Conditional Use Permit.
.
$200 Application Fee
Conditional Use Application
Survey of our property located at 5985 Seamans Drive
Certified list of properties within 500' of 5985 Seamans Drive
Mailing labels of above addresses
Description of request
Also enclosed - comments from eleven of our neighbors, pictures of some of our existing
gardens
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
As you know, we presented our request for a greenhouse/garden shed to you and the planning
commission last year. Because of the positive comments made by members of the commission
we have decided to now make our formal request.
You may recall we also presented pictures as well as written comments from eleven (11) of our
neighbors. We are very happy that all were very positive and pleased with the prospects of
adding to our gardening endeavors. (We have provided copie's of our neighbors comments in this
. packet.)
The style of our gardens more closely relates to the English Cottage type gardens. The proposed
garden shed/green house and arbor will carry through with the architectural style to compliment
our gardens. We are very concerned about the appearance of our property. The building and
arbor under this plan are intended to improve and enhance our property and will allow for
additional gardens. The plants we grow are extremely attractive (hosta and shade and sun
perennials.) We grow newer varieties and the addition of a greenhouse will allow us to become
involved with hybridizing to create better and even more attractive plants.
We are providing pictures of our garden and a picture of the arbor style to be used. Feel free to
call us should you have any questions.

Description:
Combined garden shed/greenhouse building - 1500 square feet to be located on the northeast
part of our lot as diagramed on the enclosed survey.
An arbor is also to be built to completely enclose the west, eaSt and south walls of the building.
Arbor areas are shown with dashed - - - - - - - lines on the plan.
Greenhouse will be of a high grade with lexan type "glass". (This will not be apoly house.)
Pictures are enclosed of a garden shed which will give a flavor of the styling intended as well as
a magazine photo of the arbor. On close look, you will notice details such as finials. The arbor
will have the well built characteristics such as seen at the NIn. Landscape Arboretum.
Intended use:
Arbor will enclose our plant growing area and vegetable garden and to keep out our
growing deer population. The greenhouse will be used to grow plants as well as future work to
hybridize. Please also refer to our cover letter.

Dear Neighbor
Weare contemplating putting up a greenhouse so we thought we would poll the neighborhood to
see if there were any objections prior to going through submitting our request with the City.
We've had several conversations with Brad Neilsen regarding this and it seems a conditional use
permit would be required -- which costs $200.00 to apply for.
We love our garden work and look forward to being able to extend the gardening season by
having a greenhouse. Anything we would do, of course, would look very nice. This would fit
into our landscape plans which would also include an arbor and fenced area in the back yard.

RE: A Motion Authorizing Safety Improvements for the Southeast Quadrant of

Attachment 1 is a memorandum dated May 5, 1997 to the Mayor and City Council which explains
the safety improvements and restoration that is being requested at 5705 Eureka Road South.
Normally minor roadway modifications are completed without authorization from the City Council.
However, in this instance the modifications being requested are being discussed to outline current
traffic safety problems for this area, and to help resolve a long standing issue of encroachment onto a
private property.
.
I believe attachment one outlines the scenario thoroughly. Therefore, if the City Council agrees with
the recommendations, staff is requesting authorization to complete these items in attachment one as
part of the local roadway reconstruction fund. It is estimated that these improvements will cost
approximately $3,000. I will present a final estimate at the City Council meeting.

RE: 5705 Eureka Road
David Stubstad Property
Southwest Quadrant of Smithtown Road and Eureka Road South
The City has received two separate requests from Mr. Stubstad, property owner of 5705 Eureka
Road. Mayor Dahlberg and myself met with Mr. Stubstad on April 28, 1997 to discuss these issues.
The first issue is with regard to damage to an existing retaining wall along the subject property which
occurred as part of the Smithtown Road Watermain Project (City Project 95-16). Although the
existing wall was in a severe state of deterioration, Mr. Stubstad has requested that the City replace .
the wall in its entirety. During previous conversations with Mr. Stubstad, it has been stated thatit is
the contractor's responsibility for the restoration of the wall. Mr. Stubstad stated that it is the City's
responsibility to replace the wall, and does not want to want to wait for the contractor to respond the
Issue.
In researching this issue, it was also found that the inside of the radius of the roadway of Smithtown
Road and Eureka Road South encroaches onto Mr. Stubstad's property corner (refer to attachment
1). It was suggested that if Mr. Stubstad were willing to grant the City a permanent easement for the
encroachment, we could easily justify letting a separate project to build a complete retaining wall in
exchange. Mr. Stubstad declined stating that he did not want to incur any more encumbrances for
the title of his property.
,...
The second issue that was discussed was with regard to a letter received by the City of Shorewood
from Mr. Stubstad dated April 8, 1997 (refer to attachment 2). It was noted that South Lake
Minneotnka Police Department has increased their efforts to patrol speed levels on Smithtown Road.
In addition, a stop sign which does not meet traffic warrants increases the problem as drivers tend to
speed up to make up for lost time and increases the number of unnecessary accelerations as cars start
up from a stopped condition.

After reviewing both of these issues, it was discussed and agreed that there is a compromise which
may help address both issues. Since the radius at the southeast quadrant encroaches unto
Mr. Stubstad's property, this radius could be reduced (refer to attachment 2). This will not only
reduce the encroachment onto the property, but will reduce the width of the intersection. This
decrease in the width of the lane should slow traffic as they make their turning movements. This will
reduce the amount of retaining wall required while adding some "traffic calming" amenities to the
intersection. Mr. Stubstad felt that this was a good compromise.
This issue is tentatively scheduled for action on the May 12 City Council meeting.

Re: Traffic on Smithtown Road
Dear Mayor:
We are residents of Shorewood and write to request your assistance with a serious and dangerous
tr~ffic problem that is occurring near our home. Our address is 5705 Eureka Road. Our house is
located at the comer of Eureka Road and Smithtown Road, and the front of our house, including the
driveway, front Smithtown Road.
.
As you are certainly aware, the posted speed limits on Smith town Road and Eureka Road are 30
mph. However, the majority of the vehicles traveling along these residential streets are ~eat1v
exceeding that speed. Since our driveway is located an a slight hill, when the traffic is traveling at
speeds in excess of the posted limi~ it creates a dangerous situati.on for us to pull into or out of our
driveway.
To make matters wo~ many drivers feel the need to spin their tires or accelerate quickly from the
stop sign at Eureka Road and Smithtown Road. This reckless behavior combfued with excess speed
makes it difficult for pedestrians to safely gain access to the LRT trail.
We write to request your assistance in addressing these problems. We have several suggestions
which could be implemented. First, the police department does not appear to be concentrating any
traffic enforcement effortS in this area. The moming and afternoon rush hours, as well as 8:00 p.m.
to 11 :00 p.m. seem to be the most problematic times of the day. We would request heavy traffic
enforcement at these time whenever possible until the problem begins to resolve itself.
Second, maybe the city should look into lowering the speed limit throll~h the area. Other residential
streets in Shorewood are posted at 20 mph. While we are aware that Smithtown Road and Eureka
Road are main streetS which. feed into ather residential a.re3S, there is conside......wle pedestrian traffic
through the area as people walk, run or bike to the LItT trail. Vehicles traveling at a high rate of
speed are not conducive to the pedestrian traffic which results from locating the trail iniliat area.
Attachment 2
Finally, a three way stao at the inte.~ecrion might heIo. Tne ather interSection of Smithtown Road
and Eureka Road is con~iled by S'..op signs in all ~ons.. A three ~ stop would work to keep
the speeds down.
We would apfJleciate your help in addressing these issues. It is ITrf unde..--sranding that you are also
a resident of this same area of the city and are probabLy aware of at least some of the problems
already. I am sure many of our nei~hbors also share these <:anc=mS. Please feel free to offer the use
of our driveway to the police department in their traffic effons if it would be useful. Thank: you in
advance for your assistance.

Sincerely,
[LQJQ@

RE: A Motion Authorizing the Expenditure of Funds for Dragging Equipment for Athletic
Fields.
Over the last 12 months, the Department of Public Works has fielded several complaints regarding
the dragging of the ag-lime portion of the ball diamonds within the city parks. As the City Council is
aware, staff has discussed several options to create, or purchase an attachment or machine which has
the capability of grooming the ball diamonds as desired by the associations.
.
Currently, staffis dragging the ball diamonds with a drag manufactured at the public works garage,
and is comprised of gutter brooms from the street sweeper. This dresses the very top surface of the
diamond, but does not have any downward dragging capabilities to smooth out the rough areas of
the field. In addition, this attachment does not loosen the aggregate that gets compacted by the foot
traffic during the games.
In researching out methods used by other municipalities, staff was informed that the City of Richfield
has constructed an attachment for their tractor which works well. Staff went and reviewed this
machine. This drag works for fields that are constructed all of ag-lime as it can be attached to a
tractor that has a.large turning radius. Shorewood's fields have a turfinfield and do not allow for a
large machine to maneuver around without pushing a portion of the ag-lime onto the grass areas.
In an effort to appease the softball and little league associations, Public Works Staffhave been
spending additional time making sure that he ball fields are dragged every day and brooming the ag-
" lime which spills over on the turf areas of the field. The current time being spent to drag all of our
fields is. taking approximately 3.5 hours per day for one person.
Staff also researched what machines are made for this purpose and are being used by other cities.
Attachment 1 and 2 are two machines that are commonly used for this purpose. One is

manufactured by Toro and is called a Sand Pro 3000. A similar model is known as a Cushman
Bunker Rake. Quotes received for the pieces of this equipment are as follows:
Toro Sand Pro 3000
Cushman Bunker Rake
$7770.00
$7979.50
(excluding sales tax)
(excluding sales tax)
These machines have the power to scarify the ag-lime while providing a tight enough turning radius
to be used on our turf fields. It is estimated that the time to drag the fields will be reduced to .
. approximately 2.0 hours since the grass areas will not have to be broomed of the excess ag lime the
current machine leaves behind.
Attachm~nt 3 is the equipment schedule for Public Works. These funds are set aside each year for
the replacement of equipment, as required. Staff is proposing that the Sand Pro be funded using the
dollars scheduled for replacing the John Deer AMT Utility Cart, and a portion of the $3.000 donated
by the little league to purchase this machine. Once the John Deere utility cart wears out, the back
half of the cart would be cut off and converted to serve as a trailer for the Sand Pro to do fertilizing,
weed spraying, and other duties that are currently being done with the utility cart. Thissubstitution
in the equipment replacement schedule broadens the use of the equipment without adding an
additional item to the equipment schedule.
If the City Council approves this equipment purchase, a motion would be in order to approve the
purchase of the Toro Sand Pro as itemized in this report. .

Help for flood affected cities
.
Cities helping cities--it's a natural phenomenon when disaster strikes. City response to the
unprecedented flooding is overwhelming. We heard from many cities last week: Cities needing
flood assistance information, and cities offering their equipment, personnel and even money to
meet those needs.
With that in mind, we've created the Cities Helping Cities program. Through the program, we
plan to match cities that need help in restoring municipal operations and services with cities that
have equipment and personnel available.
We've spent the last few days calling cities directly affected by floods. They told us what help
they need, and we've entered that infonnation into a database. If your city needs assistance
and bas not been contacted, call Theresia Perry at (612) 281-1200 or (800) 925-1122.
.
Now we need to know what is available. The second page of this fax lists equipment and
personnel needed by flood affected cities. If your city is able to provide assistance, please
complete the form and fax it back to the League. We will then try to match up needs with the
assistance available. Fax your completed forms to the League at (612) 281-1235.
Keep in mind that clean-up and recovery efforts will go on for many months in the most severely
flooded cities. Even if your city can't help now, help will be needed in the coming months
Many cities have asked us if they could donate money to help flood-stricken cities. Hutchinson
has already donated $5,000. Roseville wants to pledge some of its state snowplowing money and
hopes other cities will consider similar action. To help cities and other organizations make
donations) the League has created the LMC Flood Recovery Fund. This fund is being handled
by the League of Minnesota Cities Research Foundation. All money received will be distributed
to cities needing assistance to restore municipal operations. For more information, contact
Finance Director Dave DuBord at (612) 281-1200. Donations can be sent to:
The League of Minnesota Cities' Flood Recovery Fund
145 University Ave. W.
St. Paul, MN 55102-2044.
Thank you for your help. If you have any questions, contact Theresia Perry at (612) 281-1200 or
(800) 925-1122.

Learning Today for Success Tomorrow
Dear Mr. Hurm,
This is to follow up on the communications on roadway hazards that began last year at
about this time between our offices.
You may recall that our communications came about as a result of the requests of many
residents who were experiencing considerable anxiety over the fact that their children would
be walking farther to school bus stops. At that time concerns over roadway hazards which
had previously gone unnoticed by residents were added to their other more long-standing
safety concerns.
.
Your city became aware of the situation when it received a letter from me which included a
meeting invitation to discuss the safety needs of residents. I explained in the letter and at the
meeting that the need to alter the location of many school bus stops was a result of past
legislation which eff~ctively reduced funding for school transportation by a significant
amount. Fewer doUars translated into fewer buses, which in turn resulted in the need for
children to walk fanher from their homes. I also explained that, even in cases where
children did not have to walk farther, the public discussion on "walking distances" had
drawn much attention to the safety concerns that already existed in and around
neighborhoods.
.
The enclosed listing is being submitted to your attention as a result of our previous
discussion on the need to identify and eradicate roadway safety hazards for children and
motorists. This listing is. one of twelve city, county, and state lists which I've compiled
over the course of a year. Like the others, it is the summary input of the many people,
including parents, school bus drivers, motorists, etc. who have communicated their safety
concerns to my office, and have requested that we share them with you.
Thank you in advance for anything that your office might be able to do in the way of
improving the conditions on your particular list. Some improvements may be relatively easy
and inexpensive, while others may need to be included in your Capitol Improvement Plan.
Since each list is of a different length and contains a different number of "Needs" categories,
I will have to leave it to your best judgment on how the improvements might be
accomplished. However, at your request, I'd be glad to participate in a discussion of the
circumstances of why some needs may be more pressing than others.
Sincerely,
~~~
Transportation Supervisor
