c?~ercial development is proposed, it should be located in the shopping center or its immediate
vIc~mty". The area surrounding the shopping center has been designated for medium high density
reSIdentIal use on the Proposed Land Use Plan map, however, the City should remain open to
propos~s [or commercial expansion there as well. Less than one mile east of the shopping center
IS an eXIStIng restaurant. It should be noted that Excelsior surrounds this site on three sides and
Highway 7 separates the property from the rest of Shorewood. As such, its orientation is more
toward the highway and downtown Excelsior. Moving eastward on the Proposed Land Use.Plan
map, the commercially zoned property at the intersection of Christmas Lake Road and Highway 7
is suggested for neighborhood commercial or office use. It should be noted that this site is
currently under study by the City as to 'l:hat type of specific uses and :lctivity intensity will be
allO'tved. has been acquired for public use, primarily for correction of the Christmas Lake Road
intersection and drainage.
The area in the vicinity of the Vine Hill Road/Highway 7 intersection is primarily neighborhood
and convenience type commercial. No change in use nor expansion of the commercial zoning is
proposed for this area.
"C.... Land Use/Zoning Changes ~
Subsequent to adoption of the 1981 Comprehensive Plan, the City adopted zoning regulations to
implement the Land Use Plan. A variety of residential zoning districts were established, a
commercial service district was created, regulations for existing nonconforming marinas were
adopted, and planned unit development provisions were improved and expanded. The actual
zoning of property was limited to changes which made the zoning consistent with existing land use
patterns. For example the Shady Hills area had been zonedfor one-acre lots despite having
developed as half-acre lots. Undeveloped parcels planned for a higher use than their zoning were
not rezoned at the time. Rather, the intent was to rezone property in conjunction with development
requests, using the Land Use Plan as a guide.
While this approach to rezoning has provided the City with substantial control over development, a
more assertive implementation program is recommended for the future. The map on the following
page illustrates recommended changes which are necessary to make Shorewood's Land use Plan
and Zoning Districts map consistent. Following is a summary of proposed changes (numbers are
keyed to the map):
1. Despite being planned for 1-2 units per acre, larger lots have been developed consistent
with its R-1A zoning, mostly because of existing drainage problems in the area. Change
the Land Use Plan to low density residential, 0-1 unit per acre.
2. The 2-3 units per acre development of this area is more consistent with its R-1D zoning
than its 0-1 unit per acre land use designation. Change the Land Use Plan to medium
density residential, 2-3 units per acre.
3. Planned for 0-1 unit per acre, the area has been developed at two units per acre and zoned
R-1C. Change the Land Use Plan to low to medium density residential, 1-2 units per acre.
4" Larger lots have been developed than the original 1-2 units per acre which was planned.
The existing development and R-1A zoning are consistent. Change the Land Use Plan to
low density residential, 0-1 unit per acre.
5. Originally plannedfor residential development to phase out this commercial "spot zone",
the City agreed in the mid 80's to retain the existing C-2, commercial zoning of the
property. The existing commercial zoning of the property is no longer considered to be
consistent with the residential character of the area. Change the Zoning Districts map to
R-1 C.

6. This area is planned for 1-2 units per acre, but zoned R-IA. R-I C zoning exists to the
north, east and south. Chang7 the Zoning Districts map to R-I C and highlight as being
recommended for planned unzt development due to wetland configurations.
7. Plar:ned!or 3-6 units per acre as a r:ansitional area between commercial and lower density
reszdentzal, the proposed R-2A zonzng would accommodate development of the existing
vacant land as well as the existing homes. Change the Zoning Districts map to R-2A.
8. The current 1-2 units per acre land use designation is not consistent with existing
commercial development or R-IA zoning. Change the Land Use Plan to commercial,
noting that the existing marina should ultimately be brought into conformity with the L-R
Lakeshore Recreational district. '
9. Initially planned for redevelopment to medium density residential, this area has been zoned '
R-C and C-4 reflective of existing uses. Change the Land Use Plan to commercial.
10. The existing R -1 C zoning does not reflect the planned 3-6 unit per acre density. Change the
Zoning Districts map to R-2B or higher.
11. The current 1-2 units per acre land use designation is not consistent with the zoning of this
area. The Land Use Plan should be changed to medium density residential, 2-3 units per
acre.
12. Although it was planned for 2 -3 units per acre, lots in this area and the existing zoning
suggest a lower density. Change the Land use Plan to low to medium density residential,
1-2 units per acre. .
13. Once planned for commercial development, this land has been acquired for the future
upgrading of the Christmas Lake Road/Highway 7 intersection. Change the Land Use Plan
to public and the Zoning Districts map to R-IA.
14. Plannedfor 2-3 units per acre to encourage redevelopmentfrom commercial service to
residential. Change existing R-IA zoning to R-2A.
15. This area has been developed based upon its existing R-IA zoning, making the 2-3 units
per acre land use designation inappropriate. Change the Land Use Plan to low density
residential, 0-1 unit per acre.
The Land Use Plan map on page LU-25 reflects the preceding recommendations.
Land Subdivision
Controlling the way land is subdivided goes hand in hand with zoning regulations in ensuring the
quality of urban develqpment. As Shorewood's larger tracts become developed, increasing
pressure will occur to resubdivide smaller parcels and land once considered to be marginal. The
City's subdivision regulations should be updated to better address these situations.
The current Subdivision Code provides for developers to extend streets and utilities as necessary to
accommodate the development of adjacent properties. Also the Transportation Chapter of this Plan
sets forth policies for the use of private streets. With these rules in mind the review of all
subdivision requests should consider how nearby land may develop in the future. Area planning
should be done to demonstrate how specific subdivision requests fit with existing and future
development.

RE: Proposed Storage Facility Vine Hill Road.
Dear Council Members;
We appreciate the opportunity to voice our opinion/concerns about the Proposed
Self-Storage Facility at 5170 Vine Hill Road.
Our concern is the further incursion of commercial enterprises into residential areas.
Surely the presence of a Storage Facility will not sustain or enhance the value of
neighboring residential properties. Such a facility will surely not protect or enhance the
natural beauty of the area. And one wonders is there a demand for such a facility from
the citizens of Shorewood and the surrounding area? One further wonders about the
facility handling more traffic, much of it to be composed of drayage of vehicles, on a
hilly Vine Hill Road near an intersection now intimidating because of the Minnetonka
High School bus and auto traffic now routed along that torturous exit south off Highway
7 (not to mention the Coffee Shop traffic).
Although the proposal location is the extreme Eastern limit of your community and
would therefore have less negative impact than it would have on Minnetonka's
adjoining area we would hope that the spirit of fair play, neighborliness and common
interests in preserving the integrity of our residential areas would continue to positively
influence the considered judgments of our Planning Commissions and City Councils.
Thank you for your consideration

Shorewood City Council
My wife and I are home owners in the Ashcroft subdivision and are appalled that you are
considering issuing a pennit for a self-storage facility on Vme Hill Road. We are proud of
our neighborhood and believe this type of building will be a detriment and not an asset to
our oomnnmity.
This year we paid over $8,000 in property taxes to Hemripen County. I would think that
you would want to enhance our property, not take away from it.
Please do not issue the permit for the self-storage facility at 5170 Vine Hill Road.
Thank-you.
Sincerely,

Re: Two S. Properties, Inc. (Minnesota Mini-Storage)
Conditional Use Permit
5170 Vine Hill Road and 19395 Highway 7
Dear Council Members:
I was very surprised to hear that the Shorewood Planning Commission has recommended approval of the
subject permit. While I certainly believe that property owners should be allowed to realize some economic
benefit from their property, I also strongly believe in the need to assure that the highest and most
appropriate uscs are considered and that any detrimental impacts to the immediate surrounding area and
the community at large are minimized. While it might be argued that a storage facility may have less of
an impact on the area than the previously proposed gas station and fast food outlet,it is not. in my opinion.
compatible with the residential character ofthe neighborhood. Furthermore, it would remove an existing
home on the property and directly expose residences on Vine Hill Road to commercial activity. I also have
doubts that a storage facility can be architecturally enhanced much beyond the level of an "eyesore" -
not to mention its being in harmony with natural surroundings.
As a nearby resident, I am concerned about the encroachment of commercial activity or other undesirable
intrusions. Since the entire surrounding area is nearly 100% developed, it would seem to me that
maintaining the serenity and quality oflifc in thc vicinity must be the paramount factor in any decisions
regarding a change in existing land use. In this regard, I am also concerned - in spite of the fact that I
have been told that it is not true - that the City of Shorewood appears to have little concern about
negative impacts of the proposed use because they primarily affect residents of the City of Minnetonka.
I am urging that the requested conditional use permit be denied. I am also suggesting that the city consider
a change in zoning for the frontage on Vine Hill Road - or, perhaps, tor the entire property - so that we
no longer need to be leeT}' of future incompatible use proposals.

RE:
Utility Assessments - 4530 Enchanted Drive
The Finance Director has provided you with the background information regarding the delinquent
utility charges on the referenced property which are now proposed to be assessed for collection
as taxes. The procedure proposed by the Finance Director i:s the ordinary and customary method
for cQllecting delinquent utility biiiings; and, is recognized and authorized by state law. (See,
for example, Minn. Stat., * 444.075, Sub<!. 3).
Likewise. it is generally viewed that the obligation to pay utility charges which were billed prior
to a real estate closing do survive and unless paid at closing because the obligation of the
Purchaser. This obligation is generally viewed as fair and reasonable because the Purchaser can
easily determine the eJl:jstence of such billings prior to closing and can make the necessary
adjustments in the purchase price at the time of closing.

Agenda Item #6B: Two S Properties, owners of the Minnesota Mini-Storage facility at 19595
State Highway 7 propose to build a second facility approximately 600 feet east of their current
location. They comply with the requirements for a conditional use permit, except that they also
request a zoning text amendment which would allow them to use their existing resident
caretaker's office to also serve the new facility. The Planning Commission agreed
unanimously with the Planning Director's recommendation to approve the c.u.p. and text
amendment, subject to a number of conditions. Action at this time would be to direct staff to
prepare a findings of fact regarding the conditional use permit and a draft zoning text
amendment, both of which will ultimately require a four-fifths vote by the Council.
Agenda Item #6C: Bayside Financial has requested a conditional use permit and variance to
convert the office building back into a drive-up bank facility as it was originally used. Having
overcome the zoning issues at the Planning Commission level, they are still trying to wrap up
the purchase of the property and resolve the access issue. The Planning Commission has
recommended approval of the request, subject to the applicant obtaining legal control over the
property. The applicant has since submitted an unsigned lease, which is not likely to be .
executed for up to 120 days. The Planning Director recommends that the Council's approval
should contain the same stipulation as the Planning Commission's recommendation. No
occupancy of the building would be allowed until a signed lease agreement is provided to the
City. The applicant would then have up to one year to use the c.u.p. and variance. Action at
this time is to direct staff to prepare a fmdings of fact for reveiw at the next meeting. Approval
will ultimately require four-fifths vote by the Council.
Agenda Item #7: Mr. John Conlin, 4530 Enchanted Drive, has requested that utility charges
against his property accumulated prior to his purchase of the property be waived. He has made
several attempts to collect them from the previous owner and the title and real estate companies.
Staff has followed established procedures to collect these charges and has aided Mr. Conlin in
his attempts to collect the charges. A staff memo explains the situation and details policies and
procedures followed to collect these amounts. The City Attorney has been asked to review
state statute and to comment on the matter.
Agenda Item 8: This motion authorizes preliminary topographic survey of the Badger Well
Building site by OSM Associates, Inc. for the amount of $1,700. Although a request for .
proposal will be prepared at a later date to select the design firm for the project, it is necessary
to proceed with the survey before the snow becomes deep enough to hinder the surveyors.
Staff is recommending approval of OSM proposal to provide professional engineering services
in the amount of $1,700.
Agenda Item 9: MnlDOT requires that a preliminary recommendation and drawings be submitted
on or before December 1, 1997 to be able to participate in the funding for the State Trunk
Highway 7 Safety Improvement Program. Representatives from Mn/DOT have indicated that
alterations to this submittal can be completed until December 31, 1997. To insure that
Shorewood has a spot in the funding program, staff is recommending that a plan for
modifications to TH 41 and the closures of Lake Linden Drive and Wood Drive be submitted to
MnlDot to mark our position within the program. Amendments regarding the other
intersections would be added after the fact, dependent upon the public response to the
informational meetings. Staff is recommending a motion approving the concept plan to the
intersections of Trunk Highway 7 (TH 7) with Lake Linden Drive, Wood Drive, and TH 41.

NOVEMBER 10, 1997 - PAGE 3
Councilmember Stover provided the Council with some background relative to the Livable
Communities Act and noted there are inducements to participating in a cooperative program. There
are also legislative mandates which could be imposed upon the City in not participating.
Councilmember O'Neill did not feel there to be any incentive or benefit for the City to be involved
in this particular program. He suggested the legislature review this plan to include benefits for
communities such as Shorewood and the surrounding area.
Councilmember Stover noted there is a benefit to participation in that the Metropolitan Council has
agreed to assist the City in the past on such issues as lowering sewer rates and transportation.
Councilmember Stover also noted the surrounding communities have participated in this act so that
the communities would have an opportunity to work together on a plan such as cluster housing, in
which case each communities' points could be combined.
Stover moved, O'Neill seconded tabling consideration of a Resolution Regarding
Continuing to Participate in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program under
the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act to the November 24, 1997, Meeting of
the City Council." Motion passed 2/1. (Mayor Dahlberg was the dissenting

redesigned the berm and fence in such a way that it could be completed prior to the drainage issues
being resolved.

the Gideons Woods Homeowners Association and noted Mr. Bruce Newton has been advised by
telephone and letter what items remain to be completed on this development. .

Administrator Hurm reviewed the 1997 City Council Priorities and the status of each. He noted
there are a number of items which will be addressed in work sessions which have been scheduled.

concentrating on higher priority items.

A venue

.
.
CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES
NOVEMBER 10, 1997 - PAGE 5
Councilmember O'Neill commented the closure of Pleasant A venue would result in a greater
emergency response time to this particular neighborhood. The advantage to the closure would be a
reduction in traffic on Yellowstone. He noted the current closure of the roadway is to enable
Mn/DOT to perform a study and obtain traffic counts.
Hurm reported a notice will be sent out to the residents informing them of the closures which are
scheduled for a three week period. He noted the results of the study being performed by Mn/DOT
is anticipated to be available by the December 15th meeting for the Council's review.
Councilmember O'Neill suggested a neighborhood meeting prior to the Council meeting to obtain
neighborhood input relative to the closures.
Hurm suggested the meeting be held on December 15th, between 6:00 p.m. and 7:15 p.m., prior
to the regular Council meeting. Councilmember Stover wanted to make it clear this is an open
forum meeting for anyone to attend. Hurm stated it will be noticed in the newsletter in addition to
the notices which will be sent out.

Hurm reported a grant of $1,000 has been received and it will be used for overtime and special
detail expenditures.
F . Discussion on Establishment of Work Session Date
Councilmember O'Neill suggested a work session be routinely scheduled on the third Monday of
every month. Mayor Dahlberg suggested work sessions be scheduled every Wednesday until such
time as the top priority items can be addressed. Councilmember Stover was in support of
Councilmember O'Neill's suggestion of routinely scheduling a work session on the third Monday
of the month. Mayor Dahlberg felt there to be an advantage to a routine schedule rather than
scheduling miscellaneous dates.

2. DISCUSSION ON FURTHER PURSUIT OF ADMINISTRATIVE
SANCTIONS WITH REGARD TO TREE PRESERVATION POLICY
City Attorney Dean explained a draft ordinance which was provided to the Council. He noted this
ordinance could also apply to nuisance type violations such as snowbirds, parking violations, junk
vehicles and open burning.
Attorney Dean explained that upon a violation, notice would be given to the violator requiring them
to pay the administrative penalty within seven days of the notification of the violation. If the
violator fails to pay the penalty within that period of time, a late charge could be imposed. It was
contemplated the penalty for violation of the tree preservation policy would be approximately $500
per violation.
.
Anyone wishing to have their case heard, would have the right to have a hearing before a hearing
officer. The hearing officer would be the City Administrator or someone designated by the City
Administrator.
Attorney Dean felt this had been a harsh reaction to a problem which the City was experiencing last
summer which may have been resolved through a more hands on developer monitoring approach
which appears to have been successful.
Attorney Dean recommended this be considered as a part of a more broad based administrative
sanction approach rather than being only related to the tree preservation policy. He felt the urgency
for such an ordinance has passed.
Councilmember Stover was not in favor of the violations being determined by a City staff person
and a determination relative to the violation being made by a hearing officer who is also a City staff
person. Mayor Dahlberg suggested the hearing officer be an elected official such as a
councilmember.

CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES
NOVEMBER 10, 1997 - PAGE 2
Councilmember Stover noted when complaints are issued, the person the complaint is issued
against has the right to come before the full Council for an appeal. Attorney Dean explained that
under the current process, there would be no right to an appeal once a decision has been made by
the hearing officer.
Councilmember Stover noted the existing policy may not become the ordinance since it is coming
before the Planning Commission for their review and recommendations. Attorney Dean noted the
Tree Preservation Policy has been incorporated by reference into the ordinance and at this time the
enforcement of this provision needs to be determined.
Attorney Dean felt the development monitoring process appears to be working and there are
effective ways to deal with the concern such as requiring more penalties, bonds, letters of credit as
well as escrows. He felt those options should be pursued first.
Engineer Brown felt the existing policy should be modified so it is more enforceable. He felt the
policy should be reviewed by Planning Director Nielsen and the Planning Commission and their
recommendations then be taken into consideration.
Mayor Dahlberg stated he is uncomfortable with the sanction process unless there is some sort of .
appeal process available. Attorney Dean noted the only appeal process available would be to
challenge the decision in the Court of Appeals.
Councilmember O'Neill inquired whether the funds collected through administrative sanctions
could be deposited in funds other than the general fund. Attorney Dean stated it could be put into
other funds, however, it may be easier to deposit into the general fund which allows for transfers
as various needs arise.
Councilmember ONeill was in favor of reviewing this matter after the Planning Commission has
completed their review and submitted their recommendations.

RE: Sign Permit - HealthSystem Minnesota
FILE NO. Property - 19685 State Highway 7
Nordquist Sign Co. has submitted a signage plan for the office building recently completed
at 19685 State Highway 7. They propose to erect a freestanding pylon sign (see Exhibit A}
in front of the building near the driveway and a wall sign (see Exhibit B) on the north side
of the building. The locations of the two signs are shown on the applicant's site plan
(Exhibit C).
.
The pylon sign contains 83 square feet of area (on one side), and the wall sign contains 38__
square feet of area, for a total of 121 square feet. The :Coning Code allows a total sign area
up to 10 percent of the building silhouette as viewed from the street. Since the building
silhouette contains 3305 square feet of area, the applicant is well under the maximum
allowable sign area.
It should be noted that the height of .the sign is limited to 20 feet, measured from the grade
of the parking lot. With that understanding approval of the permit is recommended.

PARK COMMISSION MEETING
TUESDA Y, NOVEMBER 11, 1997
COUNCIL CHAMBERS
5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD
7:30 P.M.
MINUTES
1. CONVENE PARK COMMISSION MEETING
DRAFT!
I
Chair Colopoulos called the meeting to order at 7:31 p.m.
A. ROLL CALL
Present:
Chair Colopoulos; Commissioners Puzak, Dallman, Arnst, Wilson (arrived at 7:37
p.m.), Packard and Bensman; Council Liaison McCarty; Administrator Jim Hurm
B. REVIEW AGENDA
Chair Colopoulos read the Agenda for November 11, 1997. The agenda was accepted as
presented. Hurm suggested adding an agenda item to discuss the use of Freeman Park by the
Police Department for snowmobile training. The matter was raised by Councilmember Stover as a
matter from the floor and was discussed at that time.
2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Park Commission Meeting Minutes of October 14, 1997
Puzak moved, Arnst seconded, to approve the minutes as amended on Page 2,
Paragraph 9, Sentence 2, change to read, "focused on trails." Page 3, Paragraph
5, Sentence 2, change to read, "Trail surfaces and widths would be varied." Page
4, Paragraph 1, change to read, "MSA funds or other sources such as ISTEA
funds." Motion passed 4/0. (Chair Colopoulos and Commissioner Bensman
abstained.)
3. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
Councilmember Stover noted the Council passed a resolution allowing the police department use of
Freeman Park for snowmobile training. She requested the Park Commission's input on this issue.
Councilmember Stover noted Engineer Brown has offered that Public Works will clear the parking
lot of any snow or tracks after the training.
Administrator Hurm explained this would involve the use of one snowmobile in the parking lot
area of Freeman Park. He noted the ordinance allows for the operation of snowmobiles for
supervised training.
Commissioner Arnst inquired where Hennepin County provides their training. Hurm noted it is
generally in January out in one of the bays. She expressed concern this will give the impression
that snowmobiles are allowed in the park.
Commissioner Puzak inquired whether this training will demonstrate the participant's proficiency
or whether they will have to demonstrate proficiency in January.
Commissioner Bensman questioned the benefit of an early training session when the participants
cannot be certified until January.
4t5
PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
NOVEMBER 11, 1997 - PAGE 2
Hurm explained although there are two and a half days of training, the actual outdoor training will
last approximately one hour.
Commissioner Wilson felt this to be a good opportunity for youth to be trained on the safe use of
snowmobiles. Commissioner Dallman was in favor of the request. Commissioner Puzak felt the
greater value to be that the Park Commission support safety and encourage snowmobile training.
Hurm will contact the police department to ascertain why the training is scheduled prior to January.
Commissioner Arnst asked that these matters be brought before the Commission in a timely matter,
noting the Council has already made a decision on this matter.
Councilmember Stover noted the Council does have the opportunity to reconsider this issue and
make a different decision.
4. REPORTS:
'"
Status of Items Listed on "To Do" List
Administrator Hurm reviewed the items remaining on the "To Do" list. He noted the survey .
markings are underway for Silverwood Park. With respect to Freeman Park, it is anticipated the
picnic shelter will be in place by the end of the week.
Report on Tour of Concession Buildings in Other Cities
Commissioner Arnst will be attending a tour of concession buildings in other surrounding cities
and will report back to the Commission.
Report on October 22 Meeting with Neighboring Cities on Children's
Issues
Commissioner Puzak reported the communities of Greenwood, Excelsior, Deephaven, Shorewood
and Tonka Bay met on October 22, 1997, to discuss children's issues within the communities. It
was felt the communities could work together to taking some meaningful steps in this regard.
Freeman Park was discussed as a site in which to provide an area for children as well as Studor .
Park in Excelsior which is relatively undeveloped. There were discussions Centering around
consideration of Studor Park, noting this park could be developed with children in mind. A follow
up meeting has been scheduled for November 19, 1997, to further address this issue. The issue
will be further discussed and possible solutions suggested.
Commissioner Arnst suggested this matter be added to the next agenda for a report by one of the
commissioners in attendance.
5. PRESENTATION BY MATT PIKE ON SUGGESTION FOR SKATING
PARK
Matt Pike was in attendance and distributed information to the Commission relative to a skate type
ramp. He asked the Commission to consider the establishment of a skate park in Shorewood.
Mr. Pike noted the only place available for skating to be in the street and many business owners
have posted the street area with no skating signs.
.
.
PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
NOVEMBER 11, 1997 - PAGE 3
Mr. Pike noted there is a skate park in Minneapolis, however, this is not accessible to youth in
Shorewood. He noted the cost of a skate park to be significant, however, he suggested several
fund raising options. Mr. Pike suggested there may be City owned land in which a park could be
established.
Commissioner Arnst inquired how many people would utilize such a facility; Mr. Pike noted there
are a significant amount of BMXers, skate boarders as well as roller bladers.
Chair Colopoulos expressed an interest in viewing the facility in Minneapolis. He would like
further information relative to the size of the facility as well as the type of surface it would require.
Mr. Pike estimated a park to be 300 feet wide by 500 feet in length.
Commissioner Wilson noted he has visited the Minneapolis facility and estimated it to be
approximately 100 feet by 75 feet.
Commissioner Arnst asked that Mr. Pike be added to the agenda of one of the future meetings with
the five communities who are discussing children's issues.
The Commission was in support of Mr. Pike's suggestion and commended him on the excellent
presentation he provided.
Council Liaison McCarty noted there are tennis courts which have been contemplated for Freeman
Park with funds allotted for this project. She felt possibly the skate park should be discussed as an
alternative.
Commissioner Wilson felt there could be user fees for utilizing the skate park and felt many parents
would be in favor of this type of facility.
Chair Colopoulos was in favor of reviewing this matter further and progressing to a planning stage
with a feasibility study.
6. DISCUSSION OF DETAILED TRAIL PLAN WITH MARK KOEGLER
Mr. Koegler presented the Commission with an approach to assist in resolving the trail issue in
Shorewood (attached to and made a part of these minutes).
Commissioner Puzak noted the Commission is proceeding slowly and cautiously in this matter.
He expressed concern the Commission will be spending excessive funds in deciding whether
action should be taken.
Commissioner Bensman felt there should be a referendum on this issue rather than pursuing more
surveys and information gathering activities.
Commissioner Wilson felt the Commission should make a decision and move forward.
Chair Colopoulos felt the plan lacks specificity and has not been properly communicated. He
stated he is hesitant to make a decision which affects property owner's right-of-way and deeded
access. Chair Colopoulos felt there needs to be a determination made whether this is a sidewalk
plan or a recreational trail plan. Commissioner Wilson felt this plan has been clearly defmed as a
recreational trail plan.
Commissioner Arnst felt the Commission should move forward and meet with the Council.
Commissioner Puzak noted the first step is to meet with the Council for their input on this plan,
noting the Commission cannot solve this issue by itself.
PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
NOVEMBER 11, 1997 - PAGE 4
Commissioner Puzak asked that Councilmembers Stover and McCarty speak with the Council and
ask that they lend their support to the Park Commission.
Commissioner Bensman noted the reference to a focus group in the proposed plan and commented
the plan actually describes a task force rather than a focus group. She commented the focus group
will leave the Commission with nothing more than a collection of various people's opinions.
Commissioner Arnst inquired whether there would be a facilitator at the workshop which is
anticipated with the Council. Mr. Koegler stated he would be in attendance to facilitate the
meeting. He did not feel the Commission should pursue this plan if there is not Council support.
Commissioner Puzak suggested the Commission proceed with the proposal noting if this plan is
ultimately abandoned, the remaining funds could be applied to the Magic Square and/or the skate
park.
Hurm suggested a joint work session with the Council on December 9, 1997, with an alternate date
of December 2, 1997. Mr. Koegler requested that all Commissioners and Councilmembers be in
attendance at the work session.
.
7. DISCUSSION WITH RESIDENT ON USE OF MANOR PARK WARMING
HOUSE DURING NON-REGULAR HOURS
Allison Hawkenson, 20815 ldlewild Path, was in attendance and requested access and use of the
Manor Park warming house during non-regular hours. She noted she home schools her children
and would request this access once per week for a two hour period of time.
Commissioner Puzak inquired relative to the additional liability this would place upon the City as
well as any precedent this would create. Hurm stated this would not affect the liability insurance.
Puzak moved, Bensman seconded approving that Allison Hawkenson, 20815
Idlewild Path, be issued a key to the warming house to be used for the skating
season. Motion passed 7/0.
8.
DISCUSSION OF CENTERlPARK ISSUES WITH BOB GAGNE, CHAIR,
FRIENDS OF THE SOUTHSHORE SENIOR/COMMUNITY CENTER
.
Bob Gagne was in attendance and thanked the Commission for permitting the construction of the
Southshore Senior/Community Center building on the park property.
Mr. Gagne addressed the issue of parking. He noted it is anticipated the existing well building will
be changed in the near future and this may result in additional spaces which could be acquired
between the well building and the next hill which would provide a number of additional parking
spaces.
Mr. Gagne also reported there have been 25 requests for the rental of the facility. He noted rental
fees and fundraising have been utilized to pay for the facility. Mr. Gagne noted the Center is
dependent upon the rental of the facility to meet the operating expenses.
Mr. Gagne explained there have been rental inquiries in which potential renters have wanted to be
allowed to have alcohol on the site. He noted this is currently not permitted, however, he
requested wine and beer be allowed to be served on the premises. Mr. Gagne distributed a list a
potential requirements which were developed by the Friends of the Southshore Senior/Community
Center.
.
.
PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
NOVEMBER 11, 1997 - PAGE 5
It was noted there is a provision in the Conditional Use Permit which prohibits the use of alcohol
on this site. In addition, there is a provision that alcohol is not permitted in any park.
Hurm noted in order to change the Conditional Use Permit, there would be a public hearing
required. He felt the Council would be interested in the Commission's opinion on this matter.
Commissioner Arnst felt the facility should be allowed the use of alcohol on the site since the
Center is dependent on the rental of the facility to sustain its operating expenses. Commissioner
Puzak noted his agreement.
Chair Colopoulos suggested the Center may want to consider a liquor license as opposed to
limiting the request to beer and wine. Commissioner Puzak felt if a liquor license is sought, there
should be some sort of security person on the premises.
Puzak moved, Arnst seconded recommending to City Council that the request for
beer and wine, or liquor, if so requested by the Friends group, be granted to the
senior Center under the guidelines similar to the ones presented by the Friends
group. Motion passed 7/0. (The guidelines provided by Mr. Gagne follow.)
The following information was provided to the Park Commission by Mr. Gagne.
Points to discuss at the Park Commission Meeting regarding the request to serve wine
and/or beer at the Southshore Center.
1 . People from our community are requesting to use the facility for special parties
where they would like to serve wine. Example, the Townhouse Association who wanted
to have a Christmas dinner for the group did not rent because they could not serve wine
with the meal.
2 . We would develop policies regarding the serving of wine and/or beer such as:
a. No kegs - beer must be served out of cans or bottles.
b. Wine and/or beer can only be served with food.
c. Beer and wine (including champagne) may be served at activities
and must include the serving of food. These beverages must be provided by the
organization, group or persons hosting the activity or event.
d. No compensation of any nature may be exchanged for beer or wine.
This includes donations, advance sale tickets and tips.
e. Beer and wine may only be served until 10:30 p.m. on week nights
and 12 midnight on Friday and Saturday evenings.
f. All parties consuming beer and wine in the Dining Room shall be
required to conform to all City and State liquor laws.
g.
Center.
Beer and wine may only be consumed within the Community

NOVEMBER 11, 1997 - PAGE 6
h. In activities or functions where beer and/or wine is served, it may be
required that the organization or group hire a police officer for all or part of the
event.
Commissioner Wilson commented on the issue which was recently discussed relative to the use of
liquor in the parks and the picnic shelter area. He questioned why liquor would not be permitted at
a wedding which would be held at the picnic shelter in the park. Commissioner Puzak noted that
would be allowing liquor in the park and the Southshore Senior/Community Center is not located
on park property. In addition, the use of alcohol will not be permitted outside of the building
itself.
9. OLD BUSINESS
Commissioner Arnst noted there has not been a Park Commission representative present at the
Council meetings to report on the Park Commission meetings. She suggested everyone do their
part in this regard.
Commissioner Arnst noted the Park Commission minutes are made available to the Council and
Planning Commission prior to the Park Commission and she requested the Commission receive .
them at the same time they are distributed to the other groups.
Commissioner Arnst requested that information relative to the trail issue be provided as soon as
possible so each commissioner has an opportunity to review the materials prior to the meeting.
10. NEW BUSINESS
11. ADJOURNMENT

Dear Jim:
At the Park Commission meeting on October 14 t.'1, we discussed several approaches to
help resolve the trail issue in Shorewood. After consideration of a number of
alternatives, the Park Commission suggested that we pursue an option that called for an
initial public forum followed by a series of focus groups to sort through the issues and
formulate recommendations.
The following approach is offered for further consideration:
Objective: To identify a consensus regarding implementation of a trail system in the City
of Shorewood. ..
Process: Hold a public meeting "event" focused on trails but including other related
recreational interests. Following the public meeting, structure a series of three focus
groups, each emphasizing a different aspect of the decision process.
Tasks:
1. Conduct an initial workshop meeting with the Park Commission (and City Council?)
regarding the process.
2. Develop a communications plan, conduct publicity and mail invitations (HKGi and
City Staft).
3. Conduct a parks and trails community forum for approximately 100+ people
representing the public at-large and various recreational interests. The outcome of the
meeting will be the tabulation of a set of trail and park issues that are important to the
community.
4. Conduct an updated community survey providing information on trails and other
park and recreation needs. The survey should be a telephone survey with a
representative sample size (approximately 400). The results of the survey would

serve as another barometer of the community's attitude toward trails and other park
issues. This task is optional but recommended.
5. Summarize the results of the community forum and survey.
8. Conduct Focus Group Meeting #2 to propose and examine alternatives to resolve the
Issues.
.
6. Appoint a balanced focus group of not more than 1.5 people to meet and explore the
trail issue in more detail based on the information received from the community
forum and the telephone survey.
7. Conduct Focus Group Meeting #1, the purpose of which is to define the issues and
problems.
9. Conduct Focus Group Meeting #3 to formulate recommendations to the Park
Commission and City Council.
10. Prepare a final report summarizing the results of the process.
Cost
Based on the tasks outlined above, the cost associated with all of the work program tasks
with the exception of the survey identified in #4 is $4,500.00. Based on other projects
that we are completing at the present time that include similar surveys, the survey will
run an additional $5,000.00 to $6,000.00 depending on the number of questions involved.
The extensive meetings that are part of this process, the broad based community
involvement, and the detailed information that is gathered are labor intensive and
therefore, result in a more costly approach. If it becomes necessary to reduce the scope
of the effort, the following could be considered:
.
1. Elimination of the telephone survey resulting in savings of $5,000 to $6,000. The
results of the survey that was compiled in 1996 could be used as a source of
information.
2. Elimination of the focus group meetings resulting in savings of approximately
$1,600. This would place the emphasis on the community forum as sole source of
community input.
.
.
Mr. James C. Hurm
November 3, 1997
Page 3
Efforts to reduce the scope need to be balanced against the amount of process and work
that is ultimately necessary to provide the information required for the City Council to
make a decision.
Schedule
If the full process outlined herein is to be implemented, timing becomes an issue because
of the upcoming holiday season. Two approaches could be considered. First, the initial
workshop could be conducted in November allowing for the scheduling of the
community forum in early December. Focus groups could be scheduled for January with
results being available in early February. The second approach avoids December because
of potential conflicts and a corresponding reduction in public interest. This approach
calls for the initial workshop to occur in either November or December and the
community forum to take place in early January. Focus groups could be held in January
and February and results could be available in early March. In both scenarios, the
telephone survey could be conducted at an appropriate time in the process.
I would be pleased to further discuss this approach with you and the Park Commission at
your convenience.
Sincerely,

PUBLIC HEARING - C.U.P. FOR ACCESSORY SPACE OVER 1200 SQ.
FT.
Applicant:
James and Diane Agnew
Location:
6065 Eureka Road
Mr. Agnew was in attendance. He noted the facade of the greenhouse will be very similar to that
of the house.
Vice Chair Turgeon opened the public hearing at 7: 10 p.m. Hearing no public testimony, Vice
Chair Turgeon closed the public hearing at 7:10 p.m.
Vice Chair Turgeon asked about the standards which apply within the greenhouse ordinance.
Nielsen explained the greenhouse ordinance does not apply in this instance since the proposal is
under the size requirement. In addition, this request is not for a commercial greenhouse.
Borkon moved, Champa seconded approving a Conditional Use Permit for
accessory space over 1200 square feet for James and Diane Agnew, 6065 Eureka
Road. Motion passed 5/0.

Vice Chair Turgeon noted this matter will come before the Council for their consideration on
November 24, 1997.
2. PUBLIC HEARING - C.U.P. FOR SPECIAL HOME OCCUPATION
PERMIT
Applicant:
Sondra Traylor
23115 Summit Avenue
Location:
Dr. Traylor was in attendance. She noted she sees four to seven patients per day and asked for
suggestions relative to the parking situation.
cJ
Vice Chair Turgeon opened the public hearing at 7:30 p.m.
Vicki Franzen, 6260 Hummingbird Road, submitted a letter on behalf of herself and several other
neighbors. She expressed concern relative to any additional traffic which would result from Dr.
Traylor's request. Ms. Franzen felt if Dr. Traylor's business volume is increasing to this degree,
she should possibly move her business to a commercial location.
Dr. Traylor explained she does not intend to increase her practice, but to add some office help.
She agreed high volume traffic would not benefit the neighborhood.
Arthur Partridge, 6280 Hummingbird Road, expressed concern the Planning Commission is in a
position of granting a Conditional Use Permit, but also a variance which would allow the use of
the Conditional Use Permit. He related his belief there is insufficient space on this particular plat
which would allow for the parking of an additional vehicle. Mr. Partridge felt if a Conditional Use
Permit were to be granted, it should be enforced by the City rather than the neighbors.
Hearing no further public testimony, Vice Chair Turgeon closed the public hearing at 7:36 p.m.
Commissioner Lizee inquired whether the driveway could be extended to the south to connect with
the parking turn-around area. This would allow the visiting car to park parallel to the house and
still be outside of the 25-foot setback. Nielsen stated it would still be within the 35-foot front yard
setback. He felt the only available parking space which complies with the setback requirement
would be on the north side of the garage. .
Commissioner Lizee suggested posting the address above the garage, making it more visible. She
suggested adding a no parking sign in the appropriate area. With respect to the traffic in a
residential area, Commissioner Lizee noted a permit had been recently issued to a commercial
greenhouse which was located in a similar residential area with a similar width street.
Commissioner Borkon asked how many employees would be permitted on the premises. Nielsen
explained in accordance with a limited home occupation, only the people living and working on the
property would be permitted. A special home occupation permit would allow for one employee
who does not live on the premises.
Commissioner Champa inquired how many patients could be on the property at any given time.
Nielsen explained a limited home occupation would limit clientele to one at a time. It would be
possible under a special home occupation permit to have more. Nielsen felt it would be reasonable
to impose a condition there not be any overlapping of patients due to the lack of parking available.
Commissioner Foust asked if additional parking could be accommodated through an alternative
configuration. He suggested a horseshoe or circular type driveway. Nielsen explained additional
parking could be extended up into the property, however, the ordinance states there should not be
features which would be unusual for a residential property.
.

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
NOVEMBER 4, 1997 . PAGE 3
Vice Chair Turgeon expressed concern relative to the site line backing out of the driveway as well
as the narrowness of the driveway.
Mr. Partridge stated there would be no way to approve the Conditional Use Permit without also
granting a variance relative to parking.
Jane Partridge pointed out by denying Dr. Traylor's request, she is not being denied her business.
She felt allowing an additional employee could potentially increase the business.
Nielsen explained two cars would be in the garage and one car alongside the garage and this would
not require a variance. (Commissioner Kolstad arrived at 7:55 p.m.) Nielsen noted there could
not be any overlapping of clients.
Commissioner Champa pointed out the parking problem exists today. He noted there are no
provisions in the requirements for a Special Home Occupation Permit which would prevent the
business from being increased.
Nielsen suggested a provision stating not more than one patient can be treated at any given time and
this would prevent two doctors from working at this site and increasing the business. Dr. Traylor
suggested a provision in the permit stating no doctor other than Dr. Traylor can treat patients at the
home.
Vice Chair Turgeon felt if a horseshoe design were to be used, cars would not need to be backing
out onto the curve.
Commissioner Borkon noted her agreement. She stated she is uncomfortable with the ordinance as
it stands because it leaves a lot open to interpretation. Nielsen stated the ordinance limits the
number of employees to one, however, it does not identify the capacity of that employee.
Commissioner Borkon expressed concern relative to the home occupation issue and stated in the
spirit of the new Council, she was unsure whether or not home occupation is something they
would like to see permitted. In addition, she noted the trend of home occupations will continue
and she felt the ordinance should be reviewed. Commissioner Champa also felt the ordinance
should be discussed and reviewed at a future work session.
Vice Chair Turgeon was not comfortable with the request at this time and felt more creativity needs
to be put into making the driveway safe while staying within the setback areas. At this time, she
will vote to either table or deny the request.
Commissioner Foust stated if the employee parks in the garage, it does not create any different
appearance than that of a residential area. In addition, he did not feel there would be an increase in
traffic.
Champa moved, Lizee seconded tabling consideration of a Conditional Use Permit
for a Special Home Occupation Permit for Sondra Traylor, 23115 Summit
A venue, to the December 2, 1997, meeting of the Planning Commission to allow
Planning Director Nielsen and Engineer Brown an opportunity to investigate the
viability of reconfiguring the nonconforming area south of the existing driveway
into a horseshoe shape thereby reducing the need for vehicles to back out of the
driveway and the excess pavement remaining in the turnaround to be removed at
that point. Motion passed 5/0. (Commissioner Kolstad abstained.)
Vice Chair Turgeon recessed the meeting at 8:20 p.m. and reconvened at 8:28 p.m.

3. PUBLIC HEARING - C.U.P. FOR SELF -STORAGE FACILITY AND
ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT TO ALLOW OFF-SITE
CARETAKER
Applicant:
Todd Jones, representing Two S. Properties (MN
Mini-Storage)
19395 Highway 7 / 5170 Vine Hill Road
Location:
Todd Jones, MN Mini-Storage, was in attendance. He noted the applicants will review and
attempt to resolve the issues which were raised by Engineer Brown.
Mr. Jones stated the traffic on and off the site is very low. The lighting proposed for the site will
be directed downward and in toward the facility. In addition, the facility does not create a noise
problem.
Mr. Jones stated a neighborhood meeting was held on October 21, 1997. He commented that
based on the comments of those in attendance, he believed the residents felt the use to be
acceptable. He noted concern was expressed relative to lighting, maintaining more trees, installing
a fence behind the pond to act as a buffer, a request for lighting along Vine Hill Road to illuminate
the building, as well as concerns relative to the wetland. Mr. Jones stated these concerns will be
reviewed and an attempt made to address them.
With respect to the request for lighting along Vine Hill Road, Mr. Jones noted the neighbor who
suggested this has withdrawn his request and therefore lighting along Vine Hill Road was not
included in the lighting plan.
Mr. Jones noted one of the neighbors has expressed concern over the colors which are to be used
on the building. He noted the color choices to be an earth tone gray with blue trim.
Vice Chair Turgeon opened the public hearing at 9: 10 p.m.
Cindy Heimer, 5215 Vine Hill Road, was in favor of the revised plan which would provide for
additional trees to be saved. She was also in favor of the fencing which is being proposed since it
will block the highway.
Maria Heimer, 5215 Vine Hill Road, commented on the proposed color of the building and felt a
brown or tan color would blend in and provide a more natural look with the surrounding wooded
area. She suggested the blue stripe be omitted.
Chad Moore, 5220 Vine Hill Road, commented on the direct line of site to the intersection of Vine
Hill and Highway 7. He suggested the fence be extended to the building to prevent that line of site
to the intersection. This would also deter foot traffic which comes through the south side of the
property toward that intersection. Mr. Moore was in favor of the proposal, noting the needs of the
neighbors appear to be met with this proposal.
John Skully, 5133 Vine Hill Road, asked for clarification regarding the berm/wall which is being'
proposed. Nielsen explained that the ordinance requires any building within 50 feet of a property
line must be limited in height to 58 feet. He suggested through grading around the corner and
potentially wrapping the retaining wall around it, the building would come back down 15 feet and
into compliance with the ordinance.
Mr. Skully also addressed the issue of the color of the building and requested it be painted a brown
color to allow the building to blend in with the neighborhood and the wooded area around it. He
stated he is also in favor of the proposal.

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
NOVEMBER 4, 1997 - PAGE 5
Matt Larson, Vine Hill Road, was also in favor of the proposal, however, he expressed concern
for the color selection. He also felt a brown color to be more appropriate. Mr. Larson questioned
the hours of operation. Mr. Jones stated the hours will initially be similar to the existing facility,
however, he would like to have the ability to work within the ordinance which allows for hours of
7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 7 a.m. to 12 midnight on Friday and Saturday.
Hearing no further testimony, the public hearing was closed at 9:20 p.m.
Commissioner Kolstad asked if there will be access to the site by children given the proximity of
the school. She expressed concern relative to there not being a caretaker on the premises and the
potential for people to be on the property undetected. Mr. Jones explained a surveillance system
will be utilized. Commissioner Kolstad was in favor of the proposal, however, she felt a
surveillance system should be included as a condition.
Commissioner Kolstad asked about the issue of the building color. Mr. Jones explained the colors
were chosen for marketing purposes. Architect Paul Strothers displayed a diagram depicting a
gray colored building with blue accents. Mr. Jones noted the existing building will also be painted
in this color scheme.
.
Commissioner Champa suggested there be a provision in the amendment requiring the use of
surveillance equipment on the site. He felt there should be an alternative site plan in the event the
property is sold at some point in the future, the site would not have to be remodeled to provide for
an on-site caretaker. Commissioner Champa asked that consideration be given to the color scheme
and the wishes of the neighborhood.
Commissioner Borkon commended the developer and the neighborhood on their efforts to work
together on the proposed plan. She noted her biggest concern to be the lack of a caretaker at the
facility. Commissioner Borkon stated she would like to see access to this site from the existing site
rather than from Highway 7. Mr. Jones stated that would also be his fIrst choice, however, the
land is not contiguous making this impossible.
Commissioner Borkon inquired whether the caretaker at the existing site will be required to
monitor the proposed facility. Mr. Jones stated this would be a part of the job description of the
caretaker. Commissioner Borkon noted she liked the proposed colors, however, she felt the
developer should review this matter and give consideration to accommodating the surrounding
neighbors.
.
Commissioner Borkon questioned whether sanitary sewer is available to the site should an on-site
caretaker need to be accommodated at some point in the future. Nielsen noted there is availability
of sanitary sewer to the site.
Commissioner Borkon addressed the issue of lighting as well as the hours of operation and felt the
hours to be extensive. Nielsen noted the proposed lighting is downcast and the purpose of the
lighting is security as opposed to advertising. Mr. Jones confIrmed this and stated they are
controlled by photocell and turn on and off with daylight hours.
With respect to the hours of operation, Mr. Jones explained this would not be a high traffic facility,
estimating an average of 15 trips per day. Commissioner Borkon asked what type of signage
package is being considered. Mr. Jones stated the signage has not been determined, however, he
assured it will be in accordance with the ordinance and he will not be requesting any sort of
variance.
Commissioner Lizee asked about drainage and the life expectancy of the french drain which is
proposed for the back of the building. Brown stated the pipes are wrapped in a special fabric
which increases the life expectancy beyond the 10 to 15 year expectancy anticipated in the past.
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
NOVEMBER 4, 1997 - PAGE 6
Commissioner Lizee inquired whether gutters are being considered. Brown explained it is unlikely
gutters will be considered since they typically require a high amount of maintenance.
Commissioner Lizee was in agreement the color needs to be addressed to ensure the building
blends in with the surrounding wooded area. She would prefer the entire building be painted in a
brown tone, however, in the alternative, she suggested the sides of the building facing the
neighbors be painted in a brown tone.
Commissioner Foust inquired how fIre and rescue equipment would gain access to the facility.
Brown explained a fIfe access box would be required at the gate. They would also require a key or
code to allow access to the storage areas.
Commissioner Champa was in agreement with the drainage to the southeast comer of the wetland.
Commissioner Borkon inquired whether the developer would be required to maintain and upkeep
their own NURP pond. Nielsen explained that in many cases the City obtains an easement and
maintains the ponds, Engineer Brown explained this wetland is tributary to this site only and
therefore the applicant would be responsible for this maintenance. He stated it is expensive to
maintain this system. Approximately once every 25 years sediment would have to be removed .
from the pond. Brown noted it is difficult to dispose of the sediment. With respect to the storm
sewer system which services this NURP pond, he did not feel the taxpayers should be subjected to
this cost.
Brown pointed out the developer will have to obtain a drainage and utility easement for the storm
sewer line which crosses from the pond to the driveway.
Mr. Jones felt the recommendations could be addressed. Commissioner Champa was in favor of
annual inspections of the NURP pond being required by the Watershed District.
Vice Chair Turgeon inquired if approval is granted, when it is anticipated construction will begin.
Mr. Jones stated construction would commence in spring consisting of a six or seven month
construction phase.
Vice Chair Turgeon commented three letters have been received in opposition to the proposal.
Letters were received from Joel Katz, 5401 Ashcroft, James Sullivan, 5409 Ashcroft, and Mark _
Jones, Highland Management Group. _
Kolstad moved, Borkon seconded approving a Conditional Use Permit for Self-
Storage Facility and Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to allow for off-site
caretaker subject to Planning Commission review and approval of the proposed
amendment to allow this to occur; that in either the text amendment or as a part of
the CUP that a security plan be presented and approved as an alternative to a
caretaker; that the MNDOT fence on the southeast corner of the property be
extended around the NURP pond on top of the berm to be attached to the
building; that the blue stripe be eliminated from the south and east sides of the
building; that the applicant be responsible for the perpetual maintenance of the
NURP pond and storm sewer system; that the lighting plan comply with the
lighting requirement in the code; that the staff recommendations are amended to
reflect the Purgatory Watershed rather than the Minnehaha Creek Watershed; that
the plan will be subject to the approval of the City Engineer and the Purgatory
Creek Watershed; that the landscape plan be reviewed and approved by the
Planning Commission; that the drainage and utility easements be obtained; that the
southeast gate is relocated to a more appropriate location to accommodate snow
storage; that an alternative site plan be provided showing caretaker quarters in the
event the property is sold; that the Planning Commission recommend to the

(Tabled at the October 7, 1997 Planning Commission Meeting)
Applicant:
Judith Gleason, representing O'Dell Tinnesand
5910 Minnetonka Drive
Location:
Planning Director Nielsen recommended consideration of this item be tabled to the December 2,
1997, meeting of the Planning Commission to allow the applicant a sufficient opportunity to
provide additional information relative to stormwater run off calculations. He suggested a deadline
of November 14, 1997, for submission of the stormwater calculations.
.
Roger Lepke, 5915 Minnetonka Drive, noted a new family has moved into the residence and asked
if a home can be turned into rental property without any kind of approval by the City. Nielsen
stated single family residences can be rented without City approval.

6. REPORTS
.
Commissioner Kolstad reported the City of Excelsior discussed, at their Council meeting, the
traffic on Second and Third A venues off of Mill Avenue. She stated it has been recommended that
a block be established on Third Avenue at Division Street. Commissioner Kolstad noted the
Christmas Lane cul-de-sac was also discussed and it was suggested it be reopened to Mill Street.
She suggested Shorewood work with Excelsior and MNDOT on this matter given the impact it will
have on both communities.
* * *
Commissioner Kolstad commented on a memorandum which was distributed to the Commission
relative to her concern regarding text amendments. She suggested proposed text amendments be
noticed in the paper as well as on a broader basis to allow anyone being impacted an opportunity to
raise their concerns. This will also bring the Commission's attention to situations which may
otherwise not have been raised or considered.
Borkon suggested an article be included in the newsletter describing a text amendment, its
importance and the impact it may have on a resident.
Development Monitoring
Nielsen reported Marsh Pointe is proceeding well. Commissioner Lizee requested a stop sign be
placed in front of the model home. Brown will have the sign posted.

Wetland restoration is scheduled for this winter and the Watershed District is holding a Letter of
Credit relative to this issue. Landscaping and tree replacement is anticipated in the spring.
Approximately half of the landscaping of Smithtown Meadows has been completed. Nielsen
reported a portion of the Letter of Credit will be retained to assure the completion of the

30 October 1997
Agnew, James - C.U.P. for Accessory Space in Excess of 1200 Square Feet
405 (97.30)
BACKGROUND
.
James Agnew is the owner of the property located at 6065 Eureka Road (see Site Location map
- Exhibit A, attached). Mr. Agnew lost his detached garage to a fIre earlier this year, and his
plans to rebuild anew, larger garage necessitate a conditional use permit since the garage and
an existing greenhouse on the property will exceed 1200 square feet in area. Mr. Agnew has
requested a conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 1201.03 Subd. 2.d.(4) of the
Shorewood Zoning Code.
The property is zoned R-IA, Single-Family Residential and contains approximately 131,917
square feet in area (3+ acres). As shown on Exhibit B the existing home, greenhouse and
proposed garage are situated on the north half of the subject property. The new garage contains
1040 square feet of area (see Exhibits C and D). The existing greenhouse contains 960 square
feet, of which the small 60-square foot area attaching the greenhouse and garage will be
removed. The existing home contains 2348 square feet of floor area between two stories above
grade.
It should be noted that Mr. Agnew has received a building permit to begin construction on a
replacement garage. The concrete slab has been oversized in anticipation of receiving a
conditional use permit. If for any reason the applicant does not receive a C.U.P. the slab
simply becomes part of the applicant's driveway system, and his garage will be built within the
confines of his previous site plan, prior to the fIre. The applicant felt it was worth risking an
early start to avoid winter construction, particularly for the concrete work.
ANAL YSIS/RECOMMENDATION
Section 1201.03 Subd. 2.d.( 4) of the Zoning Code sets forth criteria for granting conditional
use permits for accessory space over 1200 square feet. Following is how the applicant's plans
comply with the Code:

Memorandum
Re: Agnew C. U.P.
30 October 1997
page two
a. The total area of accessory buildings (1940 square feet) does not exceed the floor area
(2348 square feet) above grade (main floor) of the existing home. .
b. The total area of accessory buildings does not exceed 10 percent of the minimum lot size
for the R-1A zoning district (.10 x 40,000 = 4000 square feet).
c. The existing house, greenhouse and garage comply with R-1A setback requirements.
d. The proposed garage construction (see Exhibit D) is considered to be architecturally
compatible with the existing house.
Based upon the preceding analysis, it is recommended that the applicant's request for a
conditional use permit be granted as proposed.

Minnesota Mini-Storage -Conditional Use Permit and Zoning Text
Amendment
405 (97.32)
Two S Properties, Inc., owner of the Minnesota Mini-Storage facility at 19545 State Highway 7,
proposes to build a second facility approximately 600 feet to the west at 19395 State Highway 7
(see Site Location map - Exhibit A, attached). The property consists of two parcels of land located
between the Vine Hill/Highway 7 intersection and Vine Hill Road. To accomplish this they have
applied for a conditional use permit and a zoning text amendment. The proposed text amendment
would allow them to utilize the existing resident caretaker at their present site to manage and
maintain the proposed facility.
The easterly parcel is currently occupied by and existing single-family dwelling and a small garage
located near the street at 5170 Vine Hill Road. The applicant proposes to demolish the existing
house and garage and combine the two parcels. The westerly parcel is vacant. Together the
parcels total approximately 2.5 acres. The land is characterized by a significant hill on the north
half of the property, dropping 32 feet to a small wetland area in the southeast comer of the site.
.
Land use and zoning surrounding the site are as follows:
North:
East:
South:
West:
offices and coffee shop; zoned C-3
Vine Hill Road, then single-family homes (in Minnetonka); zoned
residential
single-family homes (three in Shorewood); zoned R-IC
Vine HilI/Highway 7 intersection, then park n' ride lot, then commercial;
zoned C-3
A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore

Memorandum
Re: Minnesota Mini-Storage c.u.P. and Zoning Text Amendment
29 October 1997
The applicant proposes one two-story storage building in the center of the site, surrounded by five,
smaller single-story buildings (see Exhibit B). In total the buildings contain 53,050 square feet of
inside storage area. The facility will be accessed by a single driveway on the west side of the site.
The buildings have been arranged so as to avoid the wetland in the southeast comer of the site.
The applicant proposes to construct a stormwater retention and treatment pond in the southwest
comer of the property.
In addition to the site plan the applicant has provided the following exhibits:

ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
Self-storage facilities are allowed by conditional use permit in the C-3, General Commercial
District. In addition to the building setback requirements of the C-3 District, special conditions for
this type of use are found in Section 1201.20 Subd. 4.c. of the Shorewood Zoning Code.
Following is how the applicant's proposed plans comply with the Code:
A. Building Setbacks.

1.
As may be expected with a commercial development, the project necessitates the
removal of many of the existing trees on the site (see Exhibit G). Although the
trees within the 50-foot buffer area are preserved for about half the length of the
property, trees on the west half of the buffer area are proposed to be removed to
accommodate the required ponding for the project. Within the westerly half of the
buffer area the applicant proposes to construct a large landscape berm (see Exhibit
E). This berm is as much as eight feet higher than existing grade at the east end of
the pond, and is approximately 13 feet higher than the back yard of the abutting
residential property to the south. Based upon the maximum tree replacement
required under Shorewood's tree preservation policy, the applicant must replace 21
trees. His landscape plan (Exhibit H) provides for 21 deciduous trees plus 36
evergreens, in addition to shrubs and ornamental trees.
Despite providing more trees than required the southwest comer of the site can use
additional screening and landscaping. In this area the above-mentioned berm
diminishes to meet existing grades. It is recommended that the existing vegetation
which will be removed in that area be replaced with a six-foot fence and additional
evergreen trees. The fence should be a continuation of the fence installed to the
2

Re: Minnesota Mini-Storage C.D.P. and Zoning Text Amendment

.
west by the Department of Transportation, and should extend along the south
boundary of the property to a point where the berm is at least six feet high.
Additional evergreens should be provided along that southerly property line.
2. The entire facility is contained within a complete enclosure. Similar to the existing
facility to the west, the single-story, perimeter buildings form most of this
enclosure. Gaps between buildings are filled with security fencing.
3 . Access to the site is controlled by a security gate.
4. The applicant understands the limitations on hours of operation (7:00 a.m. to 10:00
p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight on Friday and
Saturday). It may be worth noting that we have had no complaints from residents
about hours of operation for the applicant's existing facility.
Although a lighting plan has yet to be submitted by the applicant, minimal security
lighting similar to the existing facility will be installed. Again, we have had no
residential complaints regarding lighting for the existing facility. Lighting will be
considerably less than that required for many of the uses allowed within the C-3
zoning district.
5.
.
6. Proposed building heights are generally consistent with requirements of the C-3
district, which allows up to three stories or 40 feet in height. The larger center
building (A) is two stories and approximately 31 feet high. The special conditions
for this conditional use permit require buildings within 50 feet of the property lines
to be limited to one story and 15 feet. Due to topography on the site Building E
along Vine Hill Road is as high as 21 feet on its south end (see Exhibits C and D).
This has been brought to the attention of the applicant's architect, and the issue
appears resolvable by some combination of grading and retaining walls. Final
plans should maintain a maximum height of 15 feet for the perimeter buildings.
As with the existing storage facility, all storage will be indoors. No outdoor
storage is being proposed.
7.
Similar to the approval for the existing facility, conditions will be recorded to
guarantee that buildings will be used for self-storage only. The applicant has
requested a zoning text amendment that would allow the resident caretaker at their
existing facility down the street to manage and maintain this facility. New
customers would be directed to the existing office and after that access the new
facility by means of a security card. The proposed amendment will be discussed in
more detail further on in this report.
9 . Areas not covered by buildings and pavement are proposed to ~ sodded and
seeded. Drainage from the hardcover areas is proposed to be conducted via a storm
sewer system to the proposed ponding area (see Exhibits E and F). The design and
adequacy of the proposed pond will be addressed by the City Engineer under
separate cover. The drainage plan will also be subject to the review and approval of
the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Erosion control during construction is
also subject to the City Engineer's and Watershed District's recommendations.
8.

Memorandum
Re: Minnesota Mini-Storage C.U.P. and Zoning Text Amendment
29 October 1997
The applicant proposes to construct snow gates at various locations around the
perimeter of the site. It appears that some of the pavement on the north end of the
site could be reduced or used for additional snow storage.
10. Although not delineated on the applicant's site plan, there is more than adequate
room for six cars to park along the north end of Building A. As a practical matter,
customers of the facility park in front of their own storage units. First-time
customers would go to the existing caretaker:.s office, at which parking already has
been provided. .
11. All loading areas are located within the interior of the facility, eliminating the
potential that anyone would have to back into the facility from the street. It should
also be noted that storage within Building A is accessed from an enclosed interior
vehicular corridor.
.
If the C.U.P. and text amendment are approved, the applicant will be required to
provide a letter of credit-or cash escrow to guarantee that all required site
improvements (primarily site work, tree replacement and landscaping) will be
completed within a specified period of time.
13. The project appears to be consistent with the general requirements for conditional
use permits found in Section 1201.04 Subd. 1.d.(I). It has been our experience
that this type of facility can provide a very desirable transition between commercial
and residential uses. Not long after the existing facility was completed the City
actually received compliments from adjoining neighbors, indicating that the facility
actually served as a sound barrier for Highway 7.
12.
.
C.
From a traffic standpoint few commercial activities generate as little traffic as the
self-storage facility. The traffic counts provided by the applicant are similar to what
two single-family homes might generate.
From a utility perspective, demand on the sewer and water systems of the City will
be minimal, water usage being limited to irrigation of landscaped areas.
Proposed Text Amendment. When the existing facility was approved, a very important
element to both the applicant at the time and the City was the provision for a resident
caretaker. Constant on-site supervision of the facility enhances the upkeep, maintenance
and security of the property, which suggests why there have been so few complaints about
the existing facility.
The applicant has requested that the City approve a zoning text amendment which would
allow the existing caretaker residence to serve the new facility, rather than duplicate the
residence on the new site. He cites proximity and common ownership of the two
properties as justification for the change (see Exhibit I). While this appears to make
practical sense, some question is raised relative to permanency.
This issue can be resolved by imposing restrictions within the conditional use permit and in
protective covenants stating that the two properties will remain under the same ownership
and management. At such time as any change such ownership or management might be
proposed, the applicant would have to remodel his site plan to include a separate caretaker
residence on the new site. If agreeable to the Planning Commission and City Council, staff
will prepare a formal text amendment for further consideration.
4
Memorandum
Re: Minnesota Mini-Storage c.u.P. and Zoning TextAmendment
29 October 1997
D. Wetland Protection. The applicant has revised his original plans to completely avoid the
existing wetland and its required buffer area. Since portions of the proposed retaining wall
which will be built to the north of the wetland are quite tall, consideration should be given
to adding some landscaping to soften the mass of the wall as viewed over the wetland.
The applicant's plan suggests that erosion control fencing will also serve as tree protection.
This will only be allowed if the erosion control includes orange mesh fencing, four feet in
height, in addition to the erosion control fabric.
RECOMMENDATION
The design and low impact of the existing Minnesota Mini-Storage has been a complete success
from a planning and land use perspective. While any use of this commercially zoned property will
present a fairly drastic change from what exists today, the new. facility offers a good solution to the
potential land use problem presented by the subject property.
It is recommended that the conditional use permit and text amendment be approved subject to the
following conditions:
1 . Additional landscaping and screening should be provided south of the proposed drainage
pond. The existing MNDOT fence near the Vine Hill Road/Highway 7 intersection should
be extended along the south boundary line for at least 100 feet. Additional evergreen trees
should be located along the south side of the pond.
The applicant must submit a lighting plan similar to what exists at the existing facility.
Through building design and/or site grading, buildings within 50 feet of any property line
shall be limited to 15 feet in height, as defined by Shorewood's Zoning Code.
No outdoor storage shall be permitted.
Provisions shall be adopted (recorded resolution and restrictive covenants) guaranteeing
common ownership and management of the existing and proposed facilities. Any change
in such ownership shall require construction of a new resident caretaker facility at the
subject property.
Grading, drainage and erosion control shall be subject to the recommendations of the City
Engineer and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.
Consider minor reduction in paved surface area at north end of site (between Buildings B
and F) in favor of snow storage area.
Detailed estimates or bids relative to all required site work must be provided by the
applicant prior to applying for a building permit. From the estimates or bids, a letter of
credit or cash escrow in the amount of 150 percent of the bids shall be required to guarantee
completion of the required improvements.

Attn: Brad Neilson

RE: Two S Properties, Inc. (Minnesota Mini Storage)
Storage Center Application
Project Narrative
Brad:
Please accept our application for a Conditional Use Permit and minor Text Amendment
for the above referenced project. We believe this project meets or exceeds the guidelines
of the current zoning and addresses comments and suggestions made by you at our
previous meetings.
.
The project site consists of approximately 2.5 acres and is zoned C-3 General
Commercial. The property is bordered by single family residential to the south, Highway
7 frontage/access road to the west, Vine Hill Road to the east and office/retail/restaurant
to the north. We believe that our proposed storage center, consistent with the actual
experience at our existing Shorewood storage center location, will be a very low impact
use and will act as an excellent buffer between existing residential uses and the Highway
7 corridor.
Exterior materials will be a decorative split face block. Fencing will be a combination of
wrought iron, wood and chain link depending on its location. The buildings have been
positioned along the perimeter to act as screening to the interior of the project. Drainage
has been designed to meet the criteria of the City and the Watershed District.
Particular attention has been given to the building design and landscaping on the south
side of the project. Maintaining a 50' building setback along the south property line, the
building has been positioned to act as a screen wall. Existing trees in the 50' setback area
will be preserved, to the extent possible, and many new trees will be planted to enhance
the screening.
Exhibit I
APPLICANT'S REOUEST LETTER
Dated 6 October 1997
.
.
The current City of Shorewood code requires a residential dwelling, occupied by a
resident manager, at all self storage locations. We are requesting a Text Amendment,
narrow in scope, which would waive this requirement subject to: (1) A residential
dwelling which exists as part of an existing self storage operation that is located within
600' of an approved self storage development, and (2) Ownership of both self storage
parcels be the same.
The above represents only our suggestions on how to handle the Text Amendment, as you
requested.
Traffic generated by the proposed project will be yw low. A traffic study conducted at
our existing Minnesota Mini Storage Shorewood location in February of 1997 indicated
on average 15.14 trips per day and a more recent September 1997 traffic study indicated
on average 19.93 trips per day.
We believe that Minnesota Mini Storage has a proven track record of being a good
neighbor. We maintain our properties well, they result in a very low impact use which
does not generate significant noise or traffic, and should be an excellent buffer between
residential and the Highway 7 corridor.
Yours truly,
q AJ~~

Dear Brad:

I~y
We are writing this letter on behalf of the owners of Hunters Ridge Apartments AND the
developer of Ashcroft of Minnetonka Townhomes, Chimo Development Corporation,
regarding the self storage facility proposed by Two S. Properties.
We feel this location is inappropriate for such use. While the northern portion of the
property is connected to commercial development, south and east of the property is single
family. Building a storage facility here does not create buffering between single family and
commercial in a way that would enhance the single family homes. Nor, will it enhance
marketability of the apartments at Hunters Ridge or the saleability of the townhomes at
Ashcroft which average well over $300,000.
We are requesting that you deny the request for conditional use permit to construct the self
storage facility.
Thank you.

Re: Two S. Properties, Inc. (Minnesota Mini-Storage)
Conditional Use Permit
5170 Vine Hill Road and 19395 Highway 7
Public Hearing, November 4, 1997
Dear Mr. Nielsen:
I am writing to express my concern about the proposed development at the subject location. While I
certainly believe that property owners must be allowed to realize some economic benefit from their
property, I also strongly believe in the need to assure that the highest and most appropriate uses are
considered and that any detrimental impacts to the immediate surrounding area and the community at large
are minimized. While it might be argued that a storage facility may have less of an impact on the area than
the previously proposed gas station, it is not, in my opinion, compatible with the residential character of
the neighborhood. Furthermore, it would remove an ex.isting home on the property and directly expose
residences on Vine Hill to commercial activity. I also have doubts that a storage facility can be
architecturally enhanced much beyond the level of an "eyesore" - not to mention being in harmony with
natural surroundings.
.
As a nearby resident, I am concerned about the encroachment of commercial activity or other undesirable
intrusions. Since the entire surrounding area is nearly 100% developed, it would seem to me that
maintaining the serenity and quality of life in the vicinity must be the paramount factor in any decisions
regarding a change in existing land use. Therefore, 1 am urging that the requested conditional use permit
be denied. I am also suggesting that the city consider a change in toning for the frontage on Vine Hill
Road - or, perhaps, for the entire property - so that we need no longer to be leery of future incompatible
use proposals.
1 would appreciate your including this letter in the record of the public he<U'ing.
Sincerely,
~~E

TO:
Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Brad Nielsen
DATE:
28 May 1997
RE:
Bayside Financial Corp. - C.U.P. for Drive-in Teller Facility
FILE NO.:
405 (97.15)
BACKGROUND
.
In 1983 the building at 23780 State Highway 7 (see Site Location map - Exhibit A,
attached) was built as a bank with a drive-in teller facility. After a number of years in use
as a bank the building was sold and has been used until now as an office building. Bayside
Financial Corporation now proposes to use the building as a bank once again. In order to
do so, officers of the corporation have applied for a conditional use permit to re-open the
drive-in teller facility.
The property in question is zoned C-3, General Commercial and contains 10,042 square
feet of area (see Exhibit B). The site is bounded on the north, west and east sides by
vacant land, also zoned C-3. The Highway 7 service road forms the southerly boundary
of the site.
The existing building contains approximately 1679 square feet of area. A 28' x 40'
canopy is attached to the west side of the building. Part of the parking for the site and
most of its easterly driveway are located on easements previously acquired from owner of
the land surrounding the site.

ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
.
Section 1201.21 Subd. 4.a. sets forth the conditions under which a drive-in facility may be
considered. Preliminary review of the application suggested that the Bayside request
would pose little problem. Despite some nonconformity with existing zoning
requirements, the building was built as a bank and converting it back to a bank appeared
to make sense. It has been discovered, however, that the easement on which the easterly
driveway and four of the five parking spaces on the east side of the building are located
expired when the original bank was discontinued. The applicants have been unsuccessful
in purchasing the adjoining land or even re-acquiring the easements.
As a consequence the site becomes drastically short of parking. Eight spaces are required
for the building. Five or more of the existing spaces become unusable without the
easements. While some parking can be obtained under the existing canopy, it is
somewhat awkward and does not allow adequate circulation for a drive-in teller facility.
.
The applicant has attempted to overcome this problem through redesign of the access and
parking (see Exhibit C). The easterly driveway has been shifted approximately 17 feet to
the west and narrowed to 20 feet. Three parking spaces have been provided on the
southerly easement to the east of the site. Two perpendicular spaces have been provided
in the northwest comer of the site, and three, 3D-degree angle spaces have been provided
on the west side of the site. The drive-in facility has been limited to one lane. Needless
to say, the circulation pattern for the site will be one-way.
While nonconformities existing on the site (e.g. lack of parking setbacks and inadequate
frontage for two driveways) could be considered "grandfathered in", the Zoning Code
requires that these deficiencies be brought into compliance with current requirements once
changes are proposed. Although the applicant has come up with the required number of
spaces, half of them do not comply with the minimum five-foot setback requirement.
This leaves virtually no room for snow storage. In addition to inadequate setbacks for
parking, the site does not have adequate frontage for two driveways. The driveway going
around the back of the building narrows to less than ten feet, without any setback from
the property line.
It should be noted that since the easement problem arose after the initial application was
made, the public hearing notice for this request does not include mention of variances.
.
.
Memo re: Bayside C.D.P.
29 May 1997

RECOMMENDATION
The subject property is already overflowing based on current zoning requirements and its
existing office use. Loss of the easement on which the parking and driveway are located
only compounds the existing nonconformities on the site. In view of these circumstances,
intensifying the use of the property by reactivating the drive-in facility can not be
recommended. If, however, the Planning Commission or City Council feels that this
request should be further considered, it is recommended that a new notice be published,
announcing the proposed variances. The applicant should also demonstrate that the
southerly easement on which parking spaces 6-8 are located are under its long term (i.e.
20 years) control.

Agenda Item 7, Request to Waive Delinquent Utility Charges
.
Mr. John Conlin, a new resident at 4530 Enchanted Drive, has written a letter requesting
that delinquent utility charges which had accumulated on his property prior to his purchase
of the home be forgiven. These charges are for sanitary sewer and stormwater utility fees.
These situations arise occasionally despite the best efforts of the city staff. I would like to
review the policies and procedures followed by the staff in handling such matters. .
Because these charges are made against the property rather than to an individual, Jl1e
charges, if left unpaid, become a lien against the property, similar to a special assessment.
It has been city policy to assess any delinquent utility charges once a year to the affected
properties. Staff has encouraged sellers and buyers of property, as well as realtors, title
companies and closing companies to obtain and include this information prior to closing
the sale on a property. Staff has suggested to realtors, title companies and closing
companies that an escrow for these outstanding charges be established at closing. .
However, this is not something that we can enforce.
.
When staff is made aware of the sale of a property before the sale takes place (usuiilly
through a request for a special assessment search or through a phone call by ~ party to the
sale) any outstanding utility charges, whether current or delinquent, are communicated to
the requester. When staff become aware of a sale after the closing has taken place (usually
when the new owner calls or flies for homestead) any outstanding utility account balances
are fIrst billed to the previous owner, who llSUally pays them. Because this charge is made
against the property ,and therefore is a lien on the property, if the previous owner does not
pay the fmal billing after several attempts to collect the amount, the amount is billed to the
new owner. Finally, if the charges are not collected, they are assessed to the property
along with any other delinquent utility charges in August or September of each year.
These are the procedures that have been followed by staff. To date the city has not received
payment on the fInal bill for this property. We have encouraged Mr. Conlin to seek
recourse for these charges from the previous owner of the property, the title company and
his realtor and closers. He has not been successful in his attempts. Staff has made every

Hello Mayor and City Council:
I have been notified by the City of Shorewood that I am being billed
$353.53 for utilities from the previous owner - Account# 0245-04530-0.
I ask that you relieve me of the responsibility to pay this and collect this
directly from Bob Wohlfeld. You can reach him or his assistant Jeanette:
Legal Associates
33 South 6th Street
Mpls., MN 55402
Ph: 341-4000
I cannot understand how I am expected to be responsible to pay for
something I did not do. I did not own the house during this time. Bob
Wohlfeld owned and lived in 4530 Enchanted Drive during this billing,
thus, is 100% responsible.
I ask that you take me out of this loop and go directly to Bob Wohlfeld to
collect this money. I have been working diligently with Kathy Hebert in
your office trying to collect this from Bob Wohlfeld for 2 months without
any success.
I ask you to please do what is right. Do not penalize upstanding citizens
who are happy to pay taxes like me and my family. This is clearly Bob
Wohlfelds responsibility. Please make him pay this and remove this from
my account. Thanks!
Best regards,
4d-CL

RE: Consideration of a Motion Authorizing Preliminary Survey for the Badger Well
Building
Attachment 1 is a proposal from OSM Associates, Inc. for the topographic survey of the Badger well
site for the amount of$I,700.-
.
-
Although a request for proposals is being prepared to aid in determining the engineering firm to be
used for the design of the well-house, it is imperative to the project that topographic survey be
completed prior to the snow depth getting much deeper on the site. Once the snow depths increase
beyond 0.5 feet, the amount of time required to obtain survey data increases significantly.
Therefore, the proposal provided by OSM Associates is for the topographic and boundary survey of
the site. The final data will be provided to the City for our use in both a. reproducible and electronic
fu~ '
Staff is therefore recommending approval ofthe proposal with OSM Associates, Inc. for obtaining
topographic survey data for the amount of $1,700;

Re: proposal for Engineering Services
Badger Fielcl Pumphouse Improvements
Dear Lany:
We are pleased to have the opportunity to present to the City of Shorewood this
proposal for engineering services for the above referenced project.
OSM and Associates, Inc. proposes to perfonn a preliminary topographic survey of the
proposed Improv9ment site. specifJCalIy the area adjacent to the existing pumphouse
from the north border of the city property to the north curb line of the South Shore
Senior Center parking lot, west to the east curb of the city hall parking lot and east to
the parcel dedicated to the South Shore Senior Center. The preliminary site survey
Includes the fl91d survey, production of a 22" X 34" topographic drawing of the existing
site conditions and the associated coordinate geometry to tie this site to the city hall
parking lot and senior center projects. We estimate the cost associated with this
topographic survey to be $1,700.
We propose to perform these services at your direction on a time and materials baSiS in
accordance with our 1997 fee schedule. The estimated cost for these services would
not be exceeded without your direction.
We greatly appreciate the opportunity to present this proposal for your consideration. If
you find this proposal acceptable, we are available to begin work immediately.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this proposal for engineering
services, please do not hesitate to call me at 595-5696.
Sincerely ,
ORR-SCHELEN-MAYERON &

RE: A Motion Approving Preliminary Direction to the Minnesota Department of
Transportation Regarding the Intersections of Trunk Highway 7 (TH 7) with Lake
Linden Drive, Wood Drive, and Trunk Highway 41 (TH 41)
As the City Council is aware, the intersections of Seamans Drive, Pleasant Avenue, Wood Drive, and
Lake Linden with TH 7, were closed temporarily by Mn/DOT for study, as part of the TH 7 safety
improvements. These closures were completed such that traffic could be monitored at various points
of the project to aid in making a decision with regard to these intersections.
.
Mn/Dot is willing to fund improvements outside of the intersections areas to improve the safety of
TH 7. However, to participate in the program, the City must submit a preliminary concept plan to
Mn/DOT by December 1, 1997. Public information meetings will be conducted such that
determinations with regard to these intersections can be made. However, this will not be in time to
reserve a spot in the cooperative funding program with Mn/DOT.
Representatives from Mn/DOT have stated that a preliminary plan can be submitted on or before
December 1 S\ with amendments to the plan having to occur prior to December 31 st. Since there has
been little controversy surrounding the following intersection modifications:
Close Lake Linden Drive
Close Wood Drive
Realign the north leg of the intersection of TH 41
staff is recommending that the preliminary plan be submitted to MnDOT with the above listed
intersection modifications. Any intersections that received a positive vote for closure or modification
as part of the public information and City Council process would be added as an amendment to the
plan after the December 1 st deadline.

RE: Consideration of a Motion to Adopt a Resolution Approving Plans, Specifications,
and Estimates, and Authorizing Advertisement for Bids Project 97-06 Lakeside
Watermain Extension
On August 25, .1997, the City Council approved a resolution accepting the feasibility study and
ordering plans, specifications and estimates for the Lakeside Watermain Extension. As part of the
resolves of this resolution, tne petitioners of the project were required to enter into an agreement
with the City which outlines how the City will be reimbursed for all of the costs of the improvements.
Attachment 1 is that resolution and agreement which has been executed by the petitioners for the
project.
.
At the time of this report, OSM Associates had just completed the plans and Specifications for the
project. Attachment 2 is a reduced copy of the plans.. The petitioners have indicated their desire to
have the watermain_~~alled this year before the frost depth becomes too deep.
In an effort to shorten the project.time span, this item was placed on the City Council agenda
tentatively ordering advertisement for bids without having the feedback of the petitioners in hand.
Staff will be meeting with the petitioners prior to the City Council meeting to review the plans and to
determine the desire of the group whether to proceed with the project this year, or to wait until
spring of 1998. Assuming a meeting can be conducted with the petitioners prior to the City Council
meeting, the desires of the group will be presented along with a resolution for City Council's
consideration on Monday night.
