The regular meeting of the Shorewood Planning Commission was
called to order by Chairman, Jane Cole, at 7:00 P.M. at the
Minnewashta Elementary School. Present were: Cole, Watten, Reese,
Stover, Miller, and Larson.

MINUTES
Stover moved and Watten seconded that the December 8th minutes
stand approved as written.
OLD BUSINESS:
.
ENCHANTED GARDENS - Lot 1, Block 1 - Paul Albitz presenter
Mr. Albitz presented his 2 layouts; the original proposal
being to divide Lot 1, Block 1 into 3 lots; using an outlot as
access. This is his first choice; second choice is a 2 lot divi-
sion. At the previous meeting, December 8th, there was some
question as to the square footage of this lot. Mr. Albitz stat-
ed that on the afternoon of January 12th, he had met with the
surveyor and engineers, Hanson & Norton, in an attempt to reach
an agreement on the total square footage. The engineers pointed
out that it is difficult to pinpoint it down where there is so
much water on the perimeter. They finally agreed on a figure of
80,000 square feet.
Watten moved that we recommend to the Council a 2 lot divi-
sion; only after verification of the size of that particular
piece at the 80,000 square feet or better. Seconded by Miller.
Motion carried unanimously.
NEW BUSINESS:
I. PUBLIC HEARING - Oak Rige Estates - 2nd Addition
Subdivide into four lots
Ted Noble - Presenter
Mr. Noble planned 20 lots but the intention right now is
to sell 4 lots because he doesnt know how soon he is going to sell
them and how it would change the tax structure.
Watten asked that he please answer item #4 of the Planners Letter
of December 7th.
It would be a CUl-de-sac at this time but in the future be extended
to serve the property to the West.
Comment to item #8 -(Engineers letter of January 12th)
Our proposal is to take the water across the back of lots and
run an easement rather than take them over along the road; the
road extended to the culvert.
.
The Public Hearing was closed for further discussion to the next
regular meeting - Febr~ary 9th 1978, by Jane Cole, Chairman.

Feeling of the Council:
1. Long overdue to JOln up to discuss issues we have in common.
2. Rough draft from City Hall
Miller: To have an intelligent discussion get materials to P.C. members
sooner; not fair to people involved.
Mayor:
Have a clear understanding of the procedure and review process.
Not comfortable with the outline procedures as they stand now.
a New Process
Concept of a current fee schedule
a. enact amendment to present fee - Kelly

Miller: Too many residents not coming to public meeting but go to

as vehicle. If we are taking heat off the Council, we
should be used for that purpose. Your meetings should only be

OLD BUSINESS
.
OAK RIDGE ESTATES - 2nd ADDITION - Subdivision 4 Lots - Ted Noble
A Public Hearing was held January.12th and further discussion took
place at the January 26th meeting. In review, Cole asked for any
further comments. Planner Honsey stated that h~s letter of January
6th had strongly urged that the whole area be platted but after
looking over the situation from a Planning standpoint feels that the
4 lots should be platted at this time. He stated that his views will
be supported in written form.
Reese and Watten pointed out the following concerns:
1. Large variances required on 2 of the lots
2. How will the rest of the land be developed?
3. Length of Cul-de-sacs and connecting roads for City service
conveniences.
4. Neighbors concern of the run-off.
Reese moved, seconded by Watten, that we recommend to the Council
to approve the sub-division plat as shown; except to further recom-
mend that all lots be 40,000 square feet; that the extensions of the
future road right-of-ways be eliminated beyond the four lots to be
platted; to include the Engineers report and the Planners comments
made at this meeting, which will be put in writing and submitted.
Stover ammended to read: that in the future, when presented for the
additional platting, that the whole area would have to be platted
and a new plat be presented to consider the run-off concern.

Jay Carpenter, representing Redfield Homes, 'was present wi th the
proposal of the subidiviSion of 6 lots and a double bungalow on
Lot 6 which would require rezoning.
Reese commented that the use of the land fronting Hwy 7 was not a
bad use but the rezoning of I lot is a big problem under spot zoning.
Discussion followed.
Watten moved, seconded by Reese, that the total development not
deviate from the R-I zoning; that all lots be the proper size for
R-I and that this recommendation be presented to the Council.
Motion carried unanimously.

SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING - 2/9/78
BUFFER RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL ZONING ORDINANCE
The planner presented the amended ordinance proposal of November 8th.
The matter was given further discussion relative to re-naming this
ordinance to "Transitional Commercial Zoning Ordinance." Reese
pointed out that the word residential does not cover residential use
and that density commercial use does not necessarily have to be a
buffer.
Reese moved to recommend to the Council to accept the revision of
the November draft of the Residential-Commercial District to change
pages 1 & 2 to read R-3 from an R-5 and to add Section 11, General
Provisions referring to Buffering, Screening and Landscaping.
Seconded by Stover; motion carried unanimously.
VARIABLE FEE SCHEDULE
Putting the burden where it should be; for developers who do not do
their homework, and residents who use city services for information.
Cole stated that we do not penalize our residents, who pay taxes, by
charging more for services - this is unneighborly.
Stover moved that the variable fee schedule proposed by the Council
not be adopted. Seconded by Reese, motion carried unanimously.
NURSERY PROPERTY ~ HIGHWAY 19 - Gary Minion
Chairman Cole publicly closed the Public Hearing on this issue and
suggested it be referred to Council level.
Watten moved, seconded by Reese, that subject to the approval of the
R-C zoning, we recommend that the request of Gary Minion for a Con-
ditional Use Permit to operate a Nursery and Garden Retail Store at
23505 Smithtown Road be approved. Motion carried unanimously.

INFORMAL HEARING - PROPOSED HOUSING FOR THE ELDERLY - Messr. Wong
and Volk - THONANDER PROPERTY - Lot 163 Aud Sub 135.
Attorney Michals made a presentation to the Planning Commission as
to how they plan to develop this parcel of land consisting of 7.39
acres; lying northwesterly right-of-way line of State Highway 7; with
5 acres for housing and 2 acres for commercial. Topography shows
wome wetlands and a 50' overburden to be removed to conform to the
general terrain of the area. Appropriate application has been ten-
tat~vely submitted to the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency.
Michals stated, "This is a major project which will change the
aesthetics of the City of Shorewood and comments from the Planning
Commission and Council would be appreciated at this time. We would
like some indication that we have the kind of a project the City
would like."
Housing will consist of 1 Building of 36 units (5 stories) for the
Elderly and niRe4 unit Townhouses along east and north property
lines surrounding the 5 story high fireproof elderly tower; meeting
the requirements of HUD. The 4 unit buildings provide energy effi-
ciency and combined services. Propose to leave a portion of the hill
and some of the existing vegetation as a buffer between the housing
and commercial.

PROPOSED RETIREMENT/HOUSING COMPLEX - AMERICAN CARE FACILITIES INC.
A concept proposal was presented by Tom Coffman, Architect, for the
study of the Planning Commission. The application was to be made
for a PURD retirement residence of 80 - 100 units and residential
duplexes of 14 units.
Reese stated that this is over 10 acres so it is eligible for a
PURD ZONING.
It was suggested that drawing of the units be submitted and brought
to ~he next meeting for review of the Planning Commission. Staff
can then be consulted for a Public HEaring.
DECISIONS TO PUBLIC HEARINGS
,
The question as to when a decision be made after a public hearing
was up for discussion. Chairman Cole had discussed this issue with
Council members and Watten referred to REsolution 59-76 which he
prefers to use as the policy of the Planning Commission. It was
decided at this time to leave the rule as adopted by the City Council
at their meeting of August 1976; resolution 59-76.
PARK COMMISSION REPRESENTATIVES
Jim Robins and Gordon Lindstrom were present to iron out some of
their problems. The Park Commission would like to have some kind
of contact with the Planning Commission; particularly in develop-
ments relating to Parks, Buildings and Recreation. Concerned with
the magnitude of the character change.
Win Drew called and asked that we send a copy of our agenda in
advance to the chairman of the Park Commission so the Park Commission
knows what we have on the agenda and can come if it is something that
is related to what they are interested in. Also would like a copy
of the minutes, following our meeting.

P UBL IC HEAR ING - GARY MI NIO N
After the Councils adoption of the new R/C district ordinance, the
Planning Commission, chaired by Jane Cole, opened a public hearing
pursuant to public notice on the request from Gary Minion to include
his property as described in the application in the R/C district and
to approve conditional use permit to operate a nursery and garden
supply center on the property.
It was noted by the Planning Commission that a similar use request
had been made by Minion and a public hearing had been held in Aug-
ust of 1977. The request was made to rezone the property ~tom R-4
to C-2, permitting nurseries. Planning Commission had approved the
use permit but had denied the rezoning until a conditional type of
commercial zone, that would buffer the residential area, could be
adopted.
No further public input was received so the hearing was closed.
Frank Reese moved, seconded by Miller, to recommend to the Council
that the subject property; 23505 Smithtown Road, as described in
the notice, be included in the Residential/Commercial Zone and that
a conditional use permit be granted to Gary Minion to operate a
nursery/garden supply center in accordance with conditions to be
approved by the Council. Motion carried unanimously.

RICHARD RADDE - Division of 5 Lots - Mill Street
Richard Radde appeared before the Planning Commission with a proposal
to combine Parcels 1653 - 1700 - 1750 of Platt 34400 and divide this
property into 5 lots. Lot 1, to contain 34,300 square feet; lot 2
to contain 37,600 square feet. This would result in a variance of
the two lots which would not meet the ordinance requirements as to
square footage.
Access from Mill street to Lot 3 and 4 of a 16' gravel road on a 20'
private easement which would be included in the 40,000 square footage
of the lots affected. This does not meet the requirements of the new
adopted policy.
The new policy, adopted by the Council was read and reviewed and the
Planning Commission summarized the findings to require Mr. Radde to
make a new proposal dividing the square footage into 4 lots with a
50' right-of-way requirement.
RICHARD CONRY - Plat 34332 - 12 Lot Division
Richard Conry appeared before the Planning Commission to propose a
12 lot division of Plat 34332, Parcel 5200, consisting of approximately
thirteen acres of land, with a road ending in a cul-de-sac. All of
the lots would be 40,000 square feet in area or larger; located between
Strawberry and Cathcart Lanes, referred to as Strawberry Gardens.
After discussion of the drainage and water system, it was recommended
that copies of the preliminary plat be submitted to the Engineer and
Planner for study and guidance.
Mr. Conry requested a public hearing to be held on May 11, 1978

Motion carried by a 4-0 vote.
RICHARD CONRY - PROPOSAL PLAT 34332, Parcel 5200 - STRAWBERRY GARDENS
Review: Originally on April 13, 1978, Richard Conry,representing Minne-
tonka Homes came before the Planning Commission with a proposal of 12
lots for Plat 34332, Parcel 5200, consisting of approximately 13 acres of
land with a cul-de-sac; all of the lots 40,000 square feet or more, locat-
ed between Strawberry Lane and Cathcart Drive-referred to as STRAWBERRY
GARDE NS .
Council had enacted a policy wherein "new proposed residential subdi-
visions, upon which 10 or more living units could be legally constructed,
should be served with a Community Water System."
After a study of the cost of such a Central Water System, the developer
then came to City Hall and stated that economically it was not feasible
for any developer to put in a water system of this kind for less than 23
lots and realize a profit, and that it WQtlld be necessary for them to
come before the Planning Commission with an alternate proposal.
On June 8th, Richard Conry and Rick Murray of B.T. Land Company, cam~".
before the Planning Commission with their alternate proposal of 6 lots.
They were not pleased with the plan but were forced to alter their origi-
nal plan to eliminate the Central Water System. The Public Hearing was
then"closed and moved for de~ision to the June 22nd meeting.
Tonight the discussion was opened to the Planning Commission and after a
complete review and more discussion, the Chair asked that a motion was
in order for a recommendation to the Council.
Leslie moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the Council to
approve the 12 lot plan; with Central Water System, and a through street,
with Garden Drive to intersect Cathcart DrIve to join Afton Road.
Roll call vote - 2 Ayes - 2 Nays.
Reese: Voted Aye to the 12 lot plan with Central Water System and a
through street.
Stover: Voted Nay-Prefers the 12 lot plan but does not approve of the.
through street; but will go along with the water system.
Cole: Voted Nay-Prefers the 12 lot plan; with a through street, but
does not like the Central Water.
Leslie: Voted Aye-The through street is for better planning; need the
water system and the drainage is solvable.

Study Meeting Minutes - 6/22/78
KUEMPEL CHIME CLOCK -21195 Minnetonka Blvd.
Request for R/C Zoninq and Conditional Use Permit
Don and Audrey McGregor, owners of the Kuempel Chime Clock Company, were
present at the Public Hearing to make application for the new R/C Zoning
to said property (Currently non-conforming) and requested a Conditional
Use Permit for the continued operation of their business at 21195 Minne-
tonka Blvd. A proposed storage addition to their building was also dis-
cussed. The Public Hearing was closed June 8th; study to be resumed at
the June 22nd meeting.
June 22nd - discussion resumed resulting in the following recommendation
to the Council:
Moved by Leslie that the Council grant the Kuempel Chime Clock the
R/C Zoning and a Conditional Use Permit on lots 13, 14, and 15 of
Block 11, with the following conditions:
1) That it remain Kuempel Chime Clock operation.
2) That it be owned and operated by the same family and be operated
in the same manner.
3) That at such time as they would sell the operation, or it be taken
over by some other business, it must return to the Council for
permission, if the Conditional Use Permit is to be continued.
A roll call vote of 2 Ayes - 1 Nay, 1 Abstain.
Aye: Cole - I feel that the R/C zoning is the only vehicle available
to us at this time for granting this expansion; but I do not
feel it is as appropriate a vehicle as it should be for this
situation.
Aye: Leslie - I approve the business operation, as it is now, and my.
only concern is what would happen in the future, if this particu-
lar business would be sold. I feel that we need a legal stop-gap
for this situation.
Nay: Reese - I have nothing against that use; however, I feel the lack
of neighborhood opposition should not be sole criteria for this
use and I don't consider it good planning principle.

JANHAUGEN'S - AODRESS TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION - June 22 , .1978
The Council feels there is a problem of communication, once again,
between the Planning Commission and the Council. Per recommendation
of the Mayor, I was asked to again attend the meetingsof the Planning
Commission, as liaison. That is why I am here tonight.
Because we are having so many things coming up, I would like to have each
one of you think very carefully.
1) If you are not going to be able to attend the meetin I don't
think it is fair to the people who do attend, to have the burden
of the decisions of the City on their shoulders alone; and it
certainly is not fair to the applicants who are waiting for action.
This is supposed to be a 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 group. If upon reviewing
your membership on this committee, you find that you have been
absent more than you have been present; rather than continue to
do so, I want you to be honest with us and let us know.
There are many people who would like to be on the Planning Comm-
ission. I know that it is a burden, and I know that it is a
responsibility; but it is one that we all share together for the
City.
We, as a Council, have been very particular about whom we put on
the Plannih~Commission. Some of the staff have not been too
pleased with the way that we do it; but we have tried to select
the members in such a manner that ~ will represent the City of
Shorewood, by area and by thought.
We don't want a Planning Commission that automatically stamps
approval on everything the Council says. That is why we want
all of you here. You represent different factions, different
thOughts, and different areas. That makes for an effective P.C.
If you can't be at the meetings, then we are going to have to find
somebody who can represent that particular faction of Shorewood
that ~ are to represent.
2) Tonight I heard a lot of discussion, which I liked; but some of
it pertained to personal thoughts - which is fine, but when you
are in a Planning Commission seat, sometimes you are going to
have to put those personal viewpoints aside and look at the City
as a whole -- where it is going - how its going to get there.
There again, is the reason we picked ~, because we thought that
you would do that; but if you feel that you can' tt h en we want you
to tell us.
I am going to be at your meetings; hopefully, so that we can get
the communication back the way that we want it, so there will be
an honest exchange between the Planning Commission and the Council.
If there are any problems; then let me know about them right away.
We don't want it setting there and we dont want it simmering and
by like token, if we have any problams between the Council and the
Planning Commission, I'll come back to you and tell you.
Bobbie and I are going to get together and resolve the problem of
getting information to you promptly. It would also help if you
could call into the City Hall or drop in occasionally to pick up
your packets; to eliminate the high postage rates. Also, if you
are going on vacation or can't for some reason make the meeting,
call Bobbie.

PUBLIC HEARING - Henry Webster Jr.- GRANTSVILLE 2ND ADDITION
(Plat 35020, Parcel 9010)
This plat dates from 1974 when it was approved but due to it not
being filed within the 6 month time allotted it is necessary to hold
a new public hearing.
Henry Webster Jr. submitted a plan for a preliminary plat of property
located on the east side of Eureka Road just south of Birch Bluff Road;
adjacent to the SW corner of Tonka Bay.
The property contains 4.69 acres which the applicant proposed to sub-
divide into 4 residential lots. It has but 60' of frontage on Eureka
Road; the bulk of the land locked between other parcels and a larg~
protected wetlands; subdivision to be served by a 250' street extend-
ing from Eureka Road and terminating in a 100' diameter cul-de-sac.
The property is zoned R-2, single family.
Surrounding uses - 4 residential lots, zoned R-2 to the north. To the
South and East, undeveloped land designated as wetlands and zoned R-2.
To the west, 1 single lot.
.

Planning Commission Minutes
-2-
July 13, 1978
Variances are requested for lots 3 and 4 of plat; the zoning requirements
of 100' minimum lot width at the setback or building line.
Mr. Irwin Moe and Jerry Porter, neighbors to the north, were present with
concerns regarding the road and the desire to retain the trees facing the
road for privacy to their property. Mr. Webster felt the road could be
altered, because of the leverage there, to the best interest of Moe and
Porter.
After reading the engineer's report, it was noted that no profile or type
of pipe is mentioned for the storm sewer. Mr. Webster stated that it
would be his intention to follow the village specifications as to whatever
pipe is needed for installation.
The chair closed the Public Hearing at 8:15 PM.
After discussion by the Planning Commission,
Mr. Reese moved that further study is necessary; because of the
late presentation of the Engineer and Planner reports, to allow
the Planning Commission to read the reports and study the issues;
hold over to the next regular meeting, August 10th.
Seconded by Larson. Motion carried unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING - Don Muehlberg - "THESMITHTOWN ROAD DEVELOPMENT"
tPlat 34420, Parcels 6470-5080)
The applicant has submitted plans for preliminary plat of property on the
north side of Smithtown Road, approximately 1,500 feet west of Eureka Road
totalling 4.08 acres in area. The parcel south of Smithtown Road is curr-
ently zoned R~2 single family residential. The northern parcel is zoned
R-l, single family residential; for which the applicant is requesting a
rezoning to R-2.
Wm. Smith and Lois Gillan; adjoining property owners, were present and
shared the same views regarding the rezoning: the developer knew it was
R-l zoning when he bought the property; that it could start a very dangerous
precedent, and they felt there was not sufficient reason to change the
z 0 ni ng .
Also present was Mr. Denomme who felt the R-2 zoning was in order and felt
that Minneapolis is moving out to the suburbs and we have to face reality.
The Public Hearing was closed by the chair at 8:40 PM.
After discussion by the Planning Commission,
Steve Larson moved that we deny the request for rezoning from R-l to
R-2; seconded by Leslie.
It was also recommended tha ttJ:\~,issuebe tabled until more i nforma-
tion is received regarding the plat and the Engineer's reports.
A roll call vote was taken; with commentsA!yom the PC: ~-Ayes, 2 abstain.

July 13, 1978
Gagne: Vote of aye - It was designed R-l originally, and I feel that it
should remain R-l.
Stover: Vote of aye - I feel that we have limited information that does
not show cause to change the zoning.
Larson: Vote of aye - I don't feel there is sufficient reason to change
the zoning; we must enforce our ordinance.
Cole and Watten abstain.
PUBLIC HEARING - Merritt Korsmo - "TINGEWOOD" Plat 34500, Parcel 0125
A request by Merritt Korsmo, to subdivide the property described as lots
1 through 5 and lot 34 of Auditors Subdivision 175, located in the north
1/2 of section 35; into 4 lots, hereafter referred to as "Tingewood".
This property contains approximately 6 acres within the R-l zoning and
is located on the south side of Hwy 7, running 803 feet west of Radisson
Entrance; 449 feet south along the west side of Radisson Entrance and
abutting Radisson Inn road.
Concerned persons were Leslie Nelson and Paul Seifert.
Mr. Nelson lives adjacent to the property and his concern is the gravel
road extending northerly from 34 through lot 3 and partial of lot 1, to
the Radisson Road Entrance.
Public Hearing was c~osed at 9:30 PM.
Planning Commission Comments;
It was suggested that Mr. Korsmo and Mr. Nelson have a meeting and figure
out the fate of the driveway in the northerly direction.
When the plat is reviewed, that Radisson Inn Road be enlarged from lot 4;
an opportunity to get the right-of-way of the 12' driveway.
Stover moved that the issue be tabled to the next regular meeting of
August 10th for further study and possibly more information. Seconded
by Watten. Motion carried unanimously.
The Planning Commission felt the Engineer and Surveyor to the Developer
could be of help in acquiring more information.
The letters from the Engineer and Planner should be reviewed and questions
be answered at the next meeting.
PUBLIC HEARING - John Gullickson - Plat 34420, Parcel 6250 Strawberry Lane
Pursuant to published notice a Public Hearing was called by the Planning
Commission for John Gullickson requesting to subdivide the above described
property into seven lots; each lot 25,000 square feet - a total of 4-1/4
acres; located in R-2 zone.
Reese recommended denial of the request because of no input from the
petitioner. Seconded by Gagne. Motion carried unanimously.
A letter from the planner will be sent to Mr. Gullickson for his infor-
ma t ion.
ED STRICKLAND -Lot 185 Christmas Lake - S-1/2 Section 35 T-117 R-23
Mr. Strickland came before the Planning Commission in regard to his
property; the north part having a tennis court. He wished advice as to
.I'f the property were sold could the 20' easement be used by both parties.
If a 50' road had to be installed it would destroy the tennis court and
the value of the house. Attorney Kelly was present to answer the questions
presented.

Dear Steve:
It is with very deep regret that I offer to you my resignation
from the Shorewood Planning Commission and relinquish my duties
as its chairman. It is almost the same as parting from my
familyl
In these past months I have come to realize that I am unable
to do justice to the position of chairman of the Planning
Commission as well as do justice to my real family, home, and
the new business that my husband and I are starting. Although
I would like very much to continue in my present position, I
feel that no one will come out a winner, and that I must make
some sacrifices. In view of the fact that no one else can take
over my roles in the latter three areas, I must relinquish the
one area where I can be replaced. Since a "Jack-of-all-trades"
usually is master of none, I would like to step aside to allow
someone else, whose time and concentration powers will be more
available than mine, to succeed me.
My association with my fellow planning commission members,
members of the Council, members of the park commission, and
everyone on the Shorewood staff during these past 5 years has
been more than wonderful, and most rewarding to met The
opportunity to serve my community has been an invaluable
experience. I shall miss it, and ALL of you' If I can once.
again be of assistance in the future (once we get "The Weather
Shutters, Inc." and our children on their feet't), please feel
free to call on me.
Affectionately,

GRANTVILLE 2ND ADDITION - HENRY WEBSTER JR.
Henry Webster requested time to respond to the report of the Planner.
An overlay map showing a 50' extended cul-de-sac, suggested by the
Planner, was presented for discussion.
Webster felt the suggested proposal only accomplished one thing; it
eliminated one variance; but it requires the developer to incur the
expense of 50' more of road and 50' more of sewer to be installed.
He also pointed out that this extra 50' of road and sewer would later
have to maintained by the City.
It was recommended that the road come in at more of a right angle
from Eureka Road for safety reasons.
The original plan was favorable to the neighbors attending the Public
Hearing; however, Mr. Webster wanted to study this second proposal
for reactions from the Planning Commission.
Motion was made by Stover, seconded by Watt en to hold the matter over
to the August 10th meeting. Motion carried unanimously.

to supply the Planning Commission and CIty Counoil with .the actual

the. zoning request, to.acoomodate this pro.ject, would be compat1b.le

Gentlemen:
It is with deep regret that I must submit my resignation .as a member of the
Shorewood Planning Commission. This doe$' not arise out of any conflict
other than a problem of spending time on the current land use planning,
in addition to the usual weekly matters that arise.
The additional commitment required by the land use planning is too great
for me to assume at the current time. I feel that my time spent on the
Planning Commission has benefited me, and I feel that I have made contributions
to our village. It is with deep regret that I submit this resignation.
Sincerely,

CITY OF SHOREWOOD
REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSImT MEETING
October 12, 1978 7:30 P.M.
MINUTES
The regular meeting of the Shorewood Planning Commission was called to order by
Chairman Reese at 7:45 P.M. at the Minnewashta Elementary School on October 12,
1978.
ROLL CALL
Present were: Chairman Reese, Watten, Stover, Leslie and Gagne. Rascop was absent.
Also present were: Mayor Frazier, Attorney Kelly, and Planner Nielsen. Liaison
Haugen arrived later.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
watten as~ed that the minutes of September 28th include his reason for a nay vote
on the .'fealty Shoppe issue. "Continued rezoning of property along Highway 7 would
tend toward strip commercial."
Stover moved, Leslie seconded, that the minutes stand approved as corrected.
Motion carried unanimously.
STRAWBERRY GARDENS - PUBLI C HEARING - B. T. Land Company
A Public Hearing was called upon duly published notice of September 28th for
approval of the preliminary plat of Strawberry Gardens (Plat 34332 - Parcel 5200),
between Cathcart Drive and Strawberry Lane, North of Highway 7, at the request of
the developer for rezoning the affected property (13.3 acres) from a regular resi-
dential district to a Planned Unit Residential District under provisions of the
zoning ordinance.
BACKGROUND: Originally in April a proposal of 12 lots of 40,000 square feet or
more with a cul-de-sac was presented. Council had enacted a policy wherein: new
proposed residential subdivisions, upon which ten or more living units could be
legally constructed should be served with a Community Water System.
The developer stated that economically it was not feasible for a developer to put
in a water system for less than 23 lots and it would be necessary for them to come
to the Planning Commission with an alternate proposal.
SECOND PROPOSAL: 6 long rectangular lots; 3 facing Cathcart and 3 facing Strawberry
Lane. This plan met all of the ordinance requirements but the Planning Commission
recommended to the Council to accept the 12 lot plan with the Engineer's recommen-
dation of a through street (Garden Drive to intersect Cathcart Drive and join Afton
Road) taking the pressure off of Smithtown Road. The Planning Commission felt that
this made for better planning; however, the developer would not agree to a Central
Water System or extension of the through street.
The developer is now requesting a rezoning of the land from a regular residential
to a PURD.
Concerned residents attending the meeting were: Judy and Norman Blosko, Mrs. Dean
Johnson, Doug Ahern, and Paul Skjervold. Their concerns were density and drainage
problems. Paul Skjervold asked to have it put on record that he is in favor of
the proposal.
Watten moved, Gagne seconded, that the Public Hearing be closed. Motion carried
uanimously.
Chairman Reese stated that the Planning Commission could ask questions of the
petitioner or legal council and look over the reports and take action.

The PURD Ordinance was studied as a guide to the request. Discussion centered
around:
A. FLEXIBILITY
B . VARIETY
C. HIGHER STANDARDS
D. PRESERVATION
E. EFFICIENCY
[Providing central well?
[Applicable to standard development of 1
[Right to have some voice in determination of
what is going to happen to the area.
Comments of Planning Commission:
Reese: This is R-2 Zoning, rather than a planned development.
Watt en: I would rather see a proposal developed on the basis of a 10% variation
for a R-l, which requires 36,000 square foot lots, and reduce the lots
to 16; which would be more in keeping with the area.
Leslie: I would like to see more open space provided.
Stover moved, Watten seconded, to recommend to the Council the denial of the
PURD based on these things:
IJ Does not supply common open space areas required.
2J Does not meet the 5 defined purposes of the PURD ordinance.
Motion carried unanimously.
OAK RIDGE ESTATES - PUBLIC HEARING - Ted Noble THIRD ADDITION
A Public Hearing was called upon duly published notice of September 28th for the
approval of the preliminary plat of Oak Ridge Estates - 3rd Addition; total area
of 30 acres - 10 lots and 1 outlot.
Presenter, Joe Gorecki, was present and wished to discuss the recommendations
set forth by the Planner.
I) Lot Sizes
2] Lot 4
3J Entire remaining parcel should be platted at the same time;
1- To provide for proper circulation (traffic)
2- To adequately plan for a community well system.
Gorecki: "Mr. Noble feels the dul-de-sac is better than a through street in that
it keeps traffic down and gives a certain amount of safety for the
children."
"The original plan was for wells for each building site; when the other
16 lots are developed, we can again consider the community well."
Reese: "We feel it should all be laid out in a preliminary manor before we can
approve this much or any other portion of it."
Gagne moved. seconded by Reese, to hold over the Public Hearing until such time as
the petitioner wishes to come back with a plat for the entire remain-
ing parcel.
Motion carried unanimously.

~~
~j
Use
Didn't meet setback requirements
City can't be more restricive than the State
Showed a 3 cut entry
Building 15' high
The planning commission felt they' needed time for study.
The reason Mr. Doughty did not want to move the building back was he did not want
to remove the trees for the building.
Watten moved to recommend to the Council to require the setback as established to
conform with the 50' setback; to eliminate the road, and allow the height variance.
Gagned seconded. Motion carried by a 3 to 2 vote. Leslie & Stover voting Nay.
KEN PASSE - 25985 Smithtown Road (Plat 34420-5550)

BOB REUTIMAN- Plat 34420, Parcel 5960 - 25605 Smithtown Road
Mr. Reutiman would like to sell his property at 25605 Smithtown Road; however,
the only access to the property is a 30' easement along the railroad right-of-
way. He has obtained an agreement from the railroad to purchase the 30' in
question. At this time, he would like concept approval of the 30' as a perma-
nent access to the property.
After much discussion as to alternatives to get 50', it was agreed upon that
at one point only 30' could be obtained.
Gagne moved, seconded by Rascop, to recommend to the Council to approve a 30'
entrance road right-of-way and as soon as on the private land, it widen to 50'.
Motion carried unanimously.
Reese asked that his comment be noted, that he would prefer to see a total of
50' width as a southern extension of Eureka Road to the North.
LIAISON HAUGEN REPORT:
Advisory Council of Metropolitan Municipalities
Haugen attended the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Association of
Metropolitan Municipalities. Staff members presented a guide for local
comprehensive land use plans which read:
"Local Councils will at all times look at any acreage that is open,
toward developing at 25 units or more per acre."
Board members asked that the presentation be modified to read:
"Local Councils will at all times look at any acreage that is open,
toward developing up to 25 units." This reading seemed more acceptable.
