SHOREWOOD VI LUGE PLANNING COMMI SSI ON.
March 26, 1958
The Planning Commission met at the home of chairman E. I. Morse at 7.;0 P.M. with the
following members present: D. N. Borgen, R. L. Bliss, J. R. Freyermuth, Mrs. R.J.Goodmat
eR. D. Handy and Mr. Morse. Only absentee was W. g. Bean. J. B. Janvrin, village trwstee,
attended the meeting to brief us on the council's position regarding the function of the
Planning Commission. Mr. Morse called the meeting to order asking for selection of a
secretary and Mrs. Goodman was elected unanimously.
He then asked for determination of a quorum and a meeting date. Because the total
membership of the commission is 7, a mini.lllWD. quorum would have to be 4, but inasmuch as.
the village council will want a well-rounded and diversified expression on questions
referred to us, we decided that a quorum of 5 would be workable and yet easily assembled.
Mr. Freyermuth moved that we adopt a quorum of 5 members, Mr. Bliu seconded and the
motion carried unanimously.
As for the meeting date, Mrs. Goodman requested that it be set enough in advance of the
village council meeting to allow about a week's preparation. and delivery time on the
minutes. The village council meets the second Tuesday of each month so Mr. Borgen
suggested we meet not later than the last week of the month with the calling of :meetings
left at the discretion of our chairman.
Mr. Morse turned the meeting over to Mr. Janvrin and he explained that the purpose of
our PlanniIlg Commission was to investigate and advise on action with regard to Ordinances 8
and ll~l"Ii;--e:; the use of land and the platting of land; while the advisory commission: will
do survey type work to advise the mayor of public opinion on any given issue.
Mr. Morse asked that we express ourselves on the 40,000 sq. ft. requirement for individual
residences and all present upheld this specification from Ordinance #8. In connection
with our discussion regarding the necessity for 40,000 sq. ft. per unit residence,
. Mr. Janvrin gave each of us a copy of a bulletin from the Minnesota state Health De-
. partL11ent which outlined the health hazard accompanying small plats in the suburbs. Where
septic tanks and wells are too close together, villages are forced to put in sewage
disposal systems and in the case of Shorewood we wQil.:t,4,~n~~d.. sever.alsepara,te sewage
systems because at the peculiar layout of our village. Mr. Janvrin explained that a
septic tank inspection and fee is now required. Section 4 of Ordinance #9 states that
no sewage disposal system can be installed without first presenting a diagram of the
proposed system to the building inspector showing its relation to existing systems.
Regarding the 40,000 sq. ft. requirement agai~, large plats tend to regulate population
growth and consequently keep school costs down which represent the greatest amount of
our tax dollar. It was generally agreed that each platting request would require
individual consideration because the 40,000 sq. feet would be useless if it was too
misshapen. It was also pointed out that builders don't like to build on too big lots
because their expenses soar. Any land already legally platted is exempt from this
requirement.
Mr. Morse requested that maps be secured for our study of the village land use problems.
Mr. Janvrin said he would get 10. copies of the Minnetonka area map available at U.OO
per copy from the Hudson Map Co. in the McKnight Bldg. Mrs. Goodman is going to borrow
Ray Friede's maps of Shore.ood so we can outline village boundaries on our maps.
A request from W. C. Bloomgren for a permit to open a golf drive range on his property
and the property adjoining it on either: side was presented. Mr. MOrse asked for comments
and it was universally agreed that such a permit would tend toward spot commercialization.
. Mr. Bliss will arrange a ....et.iog with David Loeka, advieor 00 metropolitan planning, at
which time the village council will join us for questions and discussion. Mrs. Goodman
will obtain 18 copies of "Zoning; 20 Qyestions and Answers" from the Minnesota Dept.
of Business Development.
.
-2-
At 9.00 Mr. Lambin and Mr. Brancel joined our meeting to introduce us to the new home
development they are beginning at Eureka. One-third of the ;4 acres Mr. Lambin owns
. is platted and legally approved and Mr. Brancel is going to build 16 homes in that
section. The remainder of the ;4 acres is not under immediate consideration for use.
Mr. Borgen moved that we adjourn the meeting and Mr. Morse did so.
Respectfully submitted,
Marion K. Goodman, Secretar.y

SHOREWOOD VILLAGE PLANNING COMMISSION
April l5, 1958
.
The Planning Commission met at the home of chairman E. I. Morse at 7.;>0 P.M.
with the following members present: D. N. Borgen, R. L. Bliss, W. J. Bean,
J. R. Freyermu.th, Mrs. R. J. Goodman, R. D. Handy and Mr. Morse. J. B. Janvrin,
village trustee, joined the meeting later.
Mr, liss has arranged for David Loeks, community planning consultant, to
u with us on May 27. Mr. Morse would like the village council, village
a~~isor.y commission, Mr. Aldritt the building inspector, and Herb Sohmidt road
foreman, to be present for this session. The meeting will be held in the
librar.y annex room at Minnewashta School to aocommodate the expected turnout.
However, Mr. Freyermuth moved that the number of people invited be beld down
as much as possible to allow for free discussion. Mr. Bean seconded and the
motion passed unanimously.
Regarding requests for rezoning we decided that we would not waste time on
hearsay. Mr. Bean moved that a written request be submitted to our chairman
prior to our meeting which would include specific survey data and a contour
sketch of the proposed development of property by the buyer and seller, and
ifpossible, a personal presentation of this information at our commission
meeting. Mr. Freyer~th seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Bean read the minutes of our March 26, 1958, meeting and two corrections
were made.
.
Mr. Morse called on Messrs. Schnittker and Uran for details on their proposed
development of property north of Eureka, but their request was tabled for
revamping and additional information.
Messrs. DeVoe, DeVoe and Moline presented a request for rezoning of the
8 acre McDonnell property on Ilghway in and Vine Hill for use as a school
bus garage, but this also was tabled for further data.
Mr. Morse read a letter from Gary Boyd regarding rezoning of his property
at the corner of Highway #7 and Murray Hill Road. T,o date, a permit has been
issued for the building of a house. Discussion concluded that the property
has not been surveyed and apparently there is not suffioient area to develop;
no speoifio request on future use of the land was made; located as it is in
a residential area, this would be spot zoning; and to be consistent with the
refusal of commercial zoning across the highway this property too should
remain residential. The request was unanimously rejected.
Mr. Borgen moved we adjourn, Mr. Bean seconded and Mr. Morse ooncurred.
Respectfully submitted,
Marion K. Goodman, Secretary

April 21, 1958
TO "iflliO)VI IT :HAY CONC1~RN:
I. Edgar Thonander, Rcute 5, Box 81, Excelsior:
Ninnesota, being determined, and decidedly interested in
contemplating the operation of Public Conveyances for the
transportati on of Pupils in School Dis tric t #276, here by,
request your consideration of constructing a conwerc4ial
buildi~g for housing School Busses on property locaved in
Southerly direction from State Highway No.7, West of
Lutheran Church nOH under construction, and recorded in
the records of Registrar of Deeds of Hennmpin County and
defined as follows:
And, that such development, 1.rill in no way
detract or devaluate any irmnediate Hestdential, Commercial
or Agricultural property.
In view of the fact, that individuals now
comprising the organizai::;ion of the DeVeau Company, now
actively involved and engaged in the Public Transportation
of School Children are anticipating difficulty in locating,
establishing, or constructing a suitable building for the
above mentioned project, said DeVeau Company has offered
to sell or dispose of said oper~tion of Public Conveyance
for School purposes in the Excelsior School District #276,
and concentrate their said efforts in the Hinnetonka
Village comprising School District 4225, and or abouts
Hop ki ns ,Mi nne sot a.
In lieu c,f the fac t that said Company and
its operators have performed these services to the sat-
isf ac tion of the Gener'al Public, the Officers of the
School District, and its Superintendent, it is my pledge
that should I purchase and assume the operation of said
Organization in the Excelsior area, and School District
#276, that I Hould make every effort, God lling, to
improve on same, such as is humanly possible, in con-
junction with the Officers cf said District, and perform
the operation of said Public Conveyance to the overall
satisfaction of the Scheol District and the Public Con-
cerned.
vfuereas, I seek this endorsement relative
to the construction of a cow~ercial building on the afore
stated property, and as a citizen of Excelsior and School
District #276, I hereby present for your approval or
otherwise, a locally owned and operated enterprise, for
the benefi t of our Community, and mankind in general,
dependant on my personal record of integri ty and

Mr. Ed Morse, Chairman
Shorewood Village Plar~ing
Route 5. Box 77
Excelsior, l\!finnesota
Commission
Gentlemen:
Subjectt Request permission to remodel the old French House into a
good modern duplex and divide lot into two lots approxi-
mately 120 feet and 115 feet respectively
ltfr. L. W. Faetkenheuer, of Vern Gagne and Associates, makes this
request on behalf of Harold Steinkamp, builder, and .rill sell this
prooert:'r to him, if the request is granted.
At present this large lot, 235 feet by 216 feet, is occupied ~r a
large old home which is in a terribly dilapidated cond.1 ~:i on. It is an
eyesore and a detriment to the value and appearance of the neighborhood.
Beoause of the age of the house and its poor cor~ition, there is little
likely hood of anyone being willing to spend the money to remodel for
single occupancy; therefore, it will remain a detriment to the neighbor-
hood and a poor source of t~x revenue.
Mr. Steinkamp thinks that if the above req1~st is granted, he can
economioally remodel the old house into a duplex and build another good
modern house on. the remaining 115 feet of frontage that will be in keep-
ing with other houses in the ~rea.
By granting this request. the village will benefit as follows:
1. Will replace an eyesore and detriment to the neighborhood with a
good looking up-to-date duplex and a modern rambler.
2. Will make the two lots conform ,rith the widths of other lots on
the south side of the highway.
3. Will increase the tax revenue over the present set-up.
I will be glad to furnish any additional ir~orrrmtion required by
your committee.
I will a,vnit with interest your recoromendation.
Yours truly,

The reasons for this reco\'l1lllendation :'ire listed below:
1. Absolute consistency 1s in order insofar as it concerns other applications
for rezoning propertyln this ares. 'dhne granting this re.quest might not meet
the legal description of "spotZoningll ~ it would ha'lethe.samepraetioal etfect
because the parcsls of land lying east of it would then be fl.anked by land. plats
of a cammerctal classifioation.
2. Main highways such as Minnesota i~7 are arteries of' traffic and are buH t to
facilitate the mO'lernent of vehicles Qetween primary populationareaa. Commercial
zoning along such arteries refutes the purpose for which they were built tnthat
it tends to slow traffic, increase its density, and substantially add to the
hazards involved.
}. The erection of abua garage on the McDonnell Property would hal'ean ob'lioU8
deleterious effect upon the ad joining residential property. Furthermore, such 8.
structure is. by no means the moat desirable commercial use for which this land
might be used.
4. The topography of this land is SUch that dra.inage problems would be encount.ered.
This might require a culvert drain to the lake as an eventual solution.
5. The applicant ha.s requested a rezoning of the land rather than a use perllllt
in spite of the fact that his use of the land and the intended structure are tied
to an annual contract which in turn 1s the subj~ctof' an annual publio bidding
process. It is not at allimoossible that he might lose the contract, see fit
to change his. business, or sell the property for another use. None of these
possibil ities could be easily prevented if the land were zoned cOl1l'!1ercial and
already in such use.
6. The noise incident to the ear,ly a1orningacti1fityindicated,especia.lTy that
involved during the winter period, \;ould prove a disturbing factor and could be
the source of future trouble.
7. The resident-a of Deepnaven lillage a:reeffected by this application as well
as the werking arrangements between the two villages conc~rned. As indica.ted
by the attached letter, the Planning QOlllnisslon 0::' Oeepha'len Village is opposed
to the rezoning of tnis area.
It is the hope or thiscommissicn that some means can be found to provide 8.
suitable location for the proposed facility. It is entirely possible t.hat the
school district mignt uee its land acquisition prerogatives to solve thh prOblem
witnout disturbing the toning laws involved. It 1:3 also possible that some sort
of public appeal might reveal a location that is al'ailable e.nd suitable to the
applicant for his purposes.

A meeting of the Village of Shorewood Planning Commission was
held at the home of the Chairman, Mr. Morse, on May 29, 1958.
All members of the Cownission except Marian Goodman were present.
Mayor Lester Badger also attended. In the absence of the regular
secretary, lvII's. Goodman, Walter Bean ac ted as secretary.
The Chairman asked the secretary to read a copy of a letter from
Harvey Inghem, Chairman of the Deephaven Planning Commission,
setting forth why the Deephaven Planning Commission feels that
the so-called McDonnell property in the Village of Shorewood
should not be rezoned from residential to commercial for the
purpose of building a school bus garage thereon. The Chairman
ordered the letter filed as a part of the minutes of the meeting.
The Chairman distributed to each of the members of the Planning
Commission copies of a legal opinion from the law firm of lI'aegre
and Benson stating the fact that "spot zoningll is unlawful.
On a .motion made, seconded and unanimously carried it was de-
cided that tile Commission accept the invitation of lvlayor Robb
of Deephaven to attend a meeting on June 11, 1958 of the Planning
Commissions of the Villages of ExcelSior, Greenwood, Shorewood,
Ninnetonka and Deephaven for the purpose of studying the main
problems and potentialities presented by Highway '7.
A request by l/lr. C. O. Norman that the Commission consider and
malee recommendations with respec t to a proposed division of
Lot 217, Audi tors Subdivision 135 was considered. The Chairman
suggested that the commission members inspect this property and
that Hr. Norman be invited to attend the next meeting of the
fi ," '"
lj omm.1SSlon.
A letter from 1'11' . Faelkenheuer dated April 28 requesting per-
mission to remodel what is commonly known as the .French house
and to divide the property into two lots was considered and Nr.
~aelkenheuer appeared in behalf of the request. After discussion
it was decided that no formal recommendation can be made to the
village council until more specific information with respect to
the remodeling of the house was presented to the Commission.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.

Dear Mr. Mor se :
,
I am sorry that I was not able to answer your letter sooner, but I was
taking a few days of vacat ion and just found it on my desk when I re-
turned. This office has prepared no sample questionnaire, yet, of the
type you have described in your letter. However, I am sending you,
under separate cover, a number of copies of our latest Minnesota Com-
munity Planning Newsletter which does have in it a type of quest ion-
naire which may be useful to you. Also included are two pamphlets
which I hope you will find instructive. This office has no record of
the names and addresses of the members of the Shorewood Village Planning
Commission. If you will send me those, I will be happy to put them
on my mailing list for the newsletter and for future planning pamphlets
prepared by the office.
If, at any time, I can be useful to your pla.nning cOlmnission in al\Y

Minnetonka Game and Fish Club

July 14, 1958
Mr. Edward I. Morse
Route 5
Excelsior, Minnesota
Dear Mr. lIor se:
The Minnetonka Game and Fish Club requests permission to sell it's
property for commercial use because we have thus far been unsuccessful
in selling it as residential property. The club has outgrown. it's
present location and wishes to move to a more remote area.
The land may be described as follows:
"COM AT A P'l' IN E LINE OF LOT 213 DIS 758 25/100 FT N FROM
S LINE OF SE 1/4 OF NW 1/4 OF SEC 34 TH W AT RT ANGLES
160 FT TH N PAR WITH SAID E LINE TO SLY R/W LINE OF HWY NO 7
TH NELY ON SAID R/w LINE TO ITS INTERSEC WITH THE EXTENSION
N OF SAID E LINE OF LOT 213 TH S TO BEG INCL ADJ VAC ROAD
LOTS 213 289 AND 305.-
lad building is 24' x 40', and we feel that it is worth $2,000, and that
the land is worth $3,000 to $4,000.
We would appreciate your careful consideration and prompt reply, as this
is very important to us.
Yours truly,
~~,&~
Robert M. Rubin

MINUTES OF THE HEETING
SHORE\I!OOD VILLAGE PLANNING COMl1ISSION
JULY 15th, 1958
The meeting was called to order by the Chairman, Edward Morse.
In the absence of the Secretary, M:rs, Goodman, Mr. Borgen was av'ointed
as acting Secretary and read the minutes of the last meeting. A motion
was made to accept the minutes as read. Motion was seconded and
approved by the group.
Mr. Morse outlined 5 proposals to be considered and introduced the first
proposal for general discussion:
I. A request by Mr. Kenneth Boehmke to r0zone property owned by him
and lying between Old High'\yay # 41 and Hi,ghway #7 to commercial
for purposes of building a 15 unit motel. It was pointed out by
members of the plannigg commission that special-use permit in
addition to re-zoning to commercial would be necessary before a
motel could be cDnstructed on this property. A motion was made
by Walter Bean and seconded by James Freyermuth that this request
be denied by the Village Council for the following reasons:
(a) Non-approptiate land use
(b) Property is already occupied by non-commercial housing.
(c) Re-zoning of this property to commercial would constitute
"s pot-zoningU .
II. A request by Hr. C. O. Norman to re-plat'his property to include
five a~ditional lots was discussed. After due consideration it
was decided by the Planning Commission to refer the proposal back
to Mr. Norman outlining necessary requirements to have this property
re-platted differently so that it will be more closely in line with
ordinance # 11 calling for lot size of 40,000 square feet.
III. A request by Harris Niccum to erect a 16' by 24' frame building
to display, store, and sell fresh fruit and vegetables on his.
property was discussed. This property has 165' of frontage on
Hi.gh'fray # 19, and is ad jacent on it's Eastern extremity to the
residential development knmvn as Echo Road. A request for either
rezonj_ng or Hr. Niccum's property from res idential to commercial
or a special-use permit for the use above outlined was denied by
the Planning Commission unanimously follo~Ting a motion made to that
effect by Walter Bean and seconded by Donald N. Borgen. Reason for
denial is that ~~. Niccum's property, as a commercial venture,
would encroach on the residential areas adjacent to it. When the
property 80' in width vTest of Hr. Niccum's property vTaS zoned
commercial, it was felt by the then-in-officeCouncil that this was
as far as commercial zoning or commercial use should be allowed
along that strip of land. With these reasons included in a letter
to the Village Council, the matter was submitted to the Council for
final disposition.
IV. The Hinnetonka Game and Fish Club petition to have their land re...
zoned to commercial was .-'jJscussed. The Club stated that the land
they presently occupied is no longer suitable for them, and that in
nurchasing other land, they needed more money from the sale of the
present property to use as' down payment on new location~ They felt
that if their property were re-zoned commercial it would comman0 a
higher price. Walter Bean made a motion, seconded by Robert Bllss,
that the Council be advised that petition for re-zoning this prop-
erty should be refused until such time as a specific use request

Mr. Robert M. Rubin, Secretary

Excelslor, Minnesota
Dear Mr . Rubin:
The request ot the Minnetonka Ga.e and Fish Club to re.one it.
property tor commercialus8 contained in your letter ot July 1~
was considered at a meeting of the Shorewood Planninc C0818.10.
beld on July 15, 1958. Unfortunately although the C01Ul1.sloa
18 sym.pathetic toward your problem, it i8the establish" po11cy
ot the Commission not to act on any request for rezon1Qi trom
residential to commercial use nor to make any recommendation to
the vi11agecouncil with respect to any request :for such rezoninl
unless ,. a specific use 01' the property if rezoned to oommero1al 18
set forth in detail in the request.
. In view at the policy of the Commission stated above ,', no aotion
can be taken on this matter until a specific cOllt'l1ltrclal use 1s
presented to the Commission. BT way ofsiolggest1on it would .... .
advisable for you to oDtain a prospective oommercial use par~
chaser of the property and have that purchaser present. . re.ol1111.
request to the Planrl1ng Commission.
The Commission alsoeonsldered the post script to your letter
signed by R. J. Latterner that your Club be permitted te adTD-
t1s. the property as commercial 1n order to obtain a prespectIve
purchaser. It 1s consensus of the Couisslon that soadvertl.lna
the property would not be appropriate because it isln fact pr..~
ently zoned as residentIal property andtherefors should not be
advertIsed .$ commeroial.

your committee to meet on the property if con-

A request for the platt of a road and the replatting of
two lots was uresented in behalf of the Church of St. John
the Baptist by its attorney, O'Neill J. Grathwol. Prolonged
discussion was had with respect to platting a road and inter-
ested property owners John Wrede, Sr., r~s. John Wrede, Jr.
and Robert G. Hoban were in attendance and entered into the
scussion. The result was that no action was taken with
respect to the proposed road. Replatting of the two lots was
approved because one was in excess of 40,000 square feet and
the other was only 50 square feet less than 40,000 square feet.
Walter Bean reported that, as previously requested, he met with
King.tlorn and Stark of the E;xcelsior Village Planning CornJ.llission
on September 30, 1958 to diseuss the problem of controlling
boat traffic on Galnin's Lake. The result of this meeting was
that the matter 1\laS';; to be considered by the E;xcelsior Planning
COlTJnission and a report made to the Shorewood Planning Commission
wi th respect to a proposed orcUnance.
Mr. Horse reported that in accordance with instructions given
rnm by the Com:nission at its meet of September 29, 1958, he
nad informed . Boneau that the Commission felt that before
any action could be taken on his request for replatting that
the roadways be 50 feet in width with 100 foot turn-arounds.
. Morse reuorted that Mr. Boneau felt these conditions were
not reasonable, therefore, no further action was taken on the
matter at s time.
Meeting adjourned.

November 10, 19,8
Mayor Lester R. Badger
Village of Shorewood
Excelsior, Minnesota
Dear Lester:
There are set forth below the recommendations of the Village of Shor.-
wood Planning Commission with respect to the following three .matters
which came before the Commission on October 28, 19,8:
1. Mr. George D. Banker requests the perm.ission to divide his
land which lies adjacent to Highway 78 into three lots.
Two of these lots would be 33,000 square feet and the other
33,330 square teet In area. Mr. Banker's letter to the
Commis.sion and the legali description ot the land which is
proposed to be subdivided together with a rough sketch of
the subdivision are enclosed. After considerable discusslon
the platting of this land was approved by split vote. Com...
mission members Bliss and Bean voted in favor and Borgen
voted against. Morse and Freyermuth abstained. The recom-
mendation that this subdivisio~ be approved 1s made with the
distinct understanding that the fact that theSe three lots
do not meet the 40.000 square.foot minimum requIrement is in
no way to be considered a precedent w1 th respect to any request
tor approval of a subdivision of land in the future in the
surrounding area.
2. A letter from Mr. A. E. Woods to Ray Latterner wherein Mr.
Woods indicates he would purchase the "Gun Club property" If
it were rezoned to permit the establishment of a used car lot
was considered by the CommissIon. This request tor rezoning
was denied because of the use for which the land was proposed
to be put. The Commission wishes again to point out to the
Council that although the Commission is sympathetic to the
prOblem of the Gun Club, it feels that a rezoning should be
permitted only for a desirable use for which there is a need
on the part of the residents of the Village.
3. O'Neill Grathwol, in behalf of the Church of St. John the
Baptist, presented a request for the subdivision ora portion
of the property owned. by that Church into two lots, oneof
which would contain 1+0,9;0 square feet and the other of which
would contain 39,1;0 square feet. A copy of Mr. Grathwol's
letter making this request together with a legal description

of the two lots and a plat thereof are enclosed. This
subdivision was approved because one of the lots is. in
exceSs of the 40,000 square foot minimum requirement and
the other is only ,0 square feet less than that require-
ment.
You will also find enclosed a copy of the minutes of the ...ting ot
the Planning Commission held on October 28, 1958.
E. I. Morse Chairman
Village of ahorewood Planning Co_ission
By' W~~
Walter J. Bean
Acting Secretary
SHOREWOOD VILLAGE PLANNING OOMMISSION
December 1, 1958
, I.
.
The meeting was held at the E. I. Morse residence with all members present
exoept R. D. Handy. Mr. Morse ha~ invited Mayor Lester Badger, Village Clerk
Elsa Wiltsey, and Village Attorney Frank Kelly to join our meeting to hear and
question Mr. Guy Kelnhofer of the Minnesota State Department of Business D.evelop.
ment who described financing procedures for professional planning assistance.
II. Mr. Kelnhofer gave an historical account of the establishment of his offioe and
oommented on the proposals made by our group. The ooncensus was that it would
not be satisfactory for us to try to join with othe,villages in hiring a planning
oonsultant inasmuoh as our situation is foreign to those villages which surround
us. Any professional assistanoe given would involve a preliminary investigation
whioh sets a pattern' ,to develop future planning. Under present requirements if
our village budgets a given amount to hire a professional planner, we would be
entitled to an equal amount in federal aid; i. e., with a budgeted $2,500 from
village funds, we would receive $2,500 from the federal allocation and with
$5,000 we could get a professional planner to work with us in establishing plans
for 1) roads and streets 2) land use 5) utilities 4) o~mmunity facilities
5) and a beginning capital budget.
Of the $60,000 allooated to Minnesota from federal funds, about $25,000 remained
December 1, 1958. The federal government generalizes that a planner's fee should
run $.90 per capita in villages of 5,000 - 5,000 and $2.00 - $5.00 per oapita in
villages under 5,000 population.
.
.
Mr. Kelnhofer will review a survey questionnaire which we oan submit to him before
using in Shorewood and he will make oorrections or additions if needed. We are
free to interview planners and select the one we feel best for us, but any paid
planner receiving federal funds will be subject to approval and regulation by
the Department of Business Development.
III. Mr. jVlorse described an incompleted dwelling at 30 Birch Bluff Rd. which neighbors
are complaining about, and the whole problem was turned over to Frank Kelly for
investigation.
IV. A letter from Dan Phillips described an $18,000 single house and a $22,000
double house which he will build on proposed lots 1 and 2 of the surveyor's drawing
he submitted. The lots will have about 31,000 sq. ft. apiece. On the negative
side, the lots do not meet the 40,000 sq. ft. requirement and there is some
question as to the desirability of multiple dwellings. On the positive side,
considering the immediate vicinity these buildings will improve the area.
Mr. Borgen moved that we aocept Mr. Phillips petition and recommend it to the
village council. Mrs. Goodman seconded. '.l;'hevote was split with Borgen, Goodman,
Freyermuth and Morse for; Bliss against; and Bean abstaining.
V. Mr. Morse has talked with members of the Chanhassen Township planning commission
and a joint discussion meeting will be arranged between our commission and theirs.
VI. Mr. Kelly reported on his study of the st. John the BaptiS't.road problem and
has a three page summary on file at his office. No village action can be taken
until the Church and the neighbors involved come to some sort of conclusion.
..VII. For the third consecutive time, Mr. Boneau submitted a platte of his property
and failed to provide 50' noadways with 100 I turnarounds and show where the acces s

the commission through Mr. Morse. Further, the platte submitted was only a
pencil sketch and was not accepta~la for approval or rejection. Therefore,
Mr. Morse was instructed to request an authentiaated platte. Mr. ,Kelly joined
the disoussion to point out the disadvantages of private roads which Mr. Boneau\
prefers for his subdivision. People moving into the subdivision will expect
public services - fire, police and road care and it is far less oomplicated to
have the roads dedicated from the outset than to try to impose village speci-
fioations at a later date.
Mr. Morse quoted the bui1dingin8pec~tor, Mr. Aldritt, who believes that the
Boneau property, even with large lots, will be subject to drainage problems.
The building inspector will require that each house be staked out for exact
looation; before a building permi~,will be issued.
Mr. Bliss moved that we return. Mr. Boneauts platte because it was not aooeptable.
Mr. Freyermuth seconded and the motion oarried unanimously.
VIII. The Minnetonka Game and Fish Olub is still seeking commercial zoning for,
their property whioh borders the Excelsior dump, but_ the commission wants to
know the type of commercial use before making any changes in zoning.
Mr. Freyermuth moved we adjourn.
Respectfully submitted,
Marion K. Goodman, Secretar,y

Dear Mr. Morse:

following resolution was passed unanimously:
"That, the Shorewood Planning Commission be authorized to
proceed with the possibility of hiring a Planner for a ItPlan"
for the future development of Shorewood,
That, they investigate thoroughly what a Planner can accomplish
for Shorewood for approxi.mately $5,000.00, with the aim of obtain-
ing $2500.00 of this amount through the State from Federal Funds
allocated for small community]: planning.
The Ciiuncil would appreciate being advised of developments, preferably

Excelsior, Minn.
August 12,1958
Shorewood Village Planning Commission
Shorewood Village, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
As you know,we are the owners of a rolling tract of ground of
166.7 acres ~lus approximately 14 acres usable meander land in
the southeast corner of Shorewood Village.
We have been approached by several reputable builders and real
estate companies, who have indicated a desire to purchase our
property for development, and we ourselves are seriously consider-
ing platting the property for the sale of lots to individuals and
build.ers.
In connection with these plans, we have consulted a number of
individuals '\"iho have planned and developed similar aree.s, and
they have all expressed the opinion that the current 40,000
sq. ft. lot size minimum is impractical and unrealistic for this
pr~pertyand represents a serious bar to the marketing.... of
our property, either in individual lots or a.s an entire tract.
They have given as their reasons the following:
40,000 sq.ft. lots are too large for proper maintenance
by home owners.
Large frontages mean a larger road construction and main-
tenance burden per house or tax paying unit.
If in the future public utilities are installed, a sub-
stantially greater cost per unit would result.
From the standpoint of the public, fewer tax.-paying units
per acre and consequently smaller tax revenues.
From a positive point of view they feel that the ideal middle income
type area, with houses selling in the $25,000 to $30,000 and over
bra.cket, can be and Should be located on lots averaging 25,000 sO.ft.
for the following reasons:
Easier maintenance by home owner,means better maintenance.
Lower road maintenance, burden to village.
Greater tax revenue.
Lower future utilities cost ner unit.
Appropriate pa,rk and playground areas, more economic to properly
develop. A properly contoured plat would be more easily developed.
Properly constructed private se'tverage facili tle..sw,-!t,~Qdefini~ely
function on lots of this size, with no };~roblem. 1....~e..1{,j::t....
Many older or mature families definitely are looking for
properties with smaller areas of yard.
In a development of this type, a community water system,which
is desirable,would be feas:lble on lots in the 25,000 sq.ft.range,
but from the information we have might well not be possible on
larger tracts.
,
-2-
We therefore ask that the Planning Commission study the following
proposal, considering both the welfare of the community and our
rights as property owners and taxpayers, to develop our property
or sell it on a reasonable and economic basis.
That the Planning Commission agree to recommend acceptance of a
proper plat contoured, with the streets of the size and grade
currently desired, and provided for a park area to be donated to
the public, of 6 acres, calling for lot sizes of a minmmum of
25,000 sq.ft., with 25% of the lots to be at least 28,000 sq.ft.j
and with minimum frontages of 100 feet, with 25% of the lots
to front at least 125 feet.
Wi thout a typographical analysis of the la,nd, there is no feasible
way at this ti~e to determine the amount of lots available in the
trac t.
Trusting that the above proposal will merit your serious consideration,
.
Very truly yours

SHOBEWOOD VILLAGE PLANNING COMMISSION!
September 2, 1958
The Planning Oommission met at the home of chairman E. 1. Morse at 7&}0 P.M.
with the following members pre sent & D. N. Borgen, U/t,J/t,ttJJ, W. J. Bean,
J. R. ~reyerJJlu:t'.l11 Mrs. R. J. Goodman, R. D. Handy and Mr. Morse. R. L. Bliss
was absent;- J. B. Janvrin represented the Village Council.
Mr. Janvrin reviewed zoning actions of the Oouncil.
Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Dreher presented an aerial map photo of their farm which
they intend to sub-divide. They were seeking a tentative OK on the proposed
lot sizes before making a plat of the property. The members of the commission
did not want to make any commitments of approval until more concrete plans
were submitted. Mr. Borgen suggested that the Drehers adhere as closely as
possible to the 40,000 sq. ft. requirement with 1501 frontages on the lots,
realizing that some variation would be inevitable.
Mr. Freyermuth mentioned that if the lot sizes were of sufficient size, no
restriction on the square footage of each house would be necessary because
the homes would be built in balance with the cost of the lots.
Mr. R. D. Boneau presented a plat of his property on Ohristmas Lake. Lot
sizes were in accordance with the demands of the topography of the land.
Only objection arose on the width of the roads and Mr. Bonea~ wish to have
no turn-around. Question was made on the problem of sewage drainage and
Mr. Boneau agreed to have someone come in and make recommendations on proper
sewage drainage.
Mr. lltforse delayed discussion on the Highway 7 Oommittee report until each
member had a copy to study.
Meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Marion K. Goodman, Secretary
SHOREWOOD VILLAGE PLANNING OO~~SSION
September 29, 1958
.
Our meeting was held at the home of chairman E. I. Morse at 7:}0 P.ll.
with the following members present& D. N. Borgen, R. L. Bliss, W. J. Bean,
J. R. Freyermuth, Mrs. R. J. Goodman, R. D. Handy and Mr. Morse. J. B. Janvrin
represented the village council.
The minutes of the September 2nd meeting were read and approved.
Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Dreher were invited to discuss further plans for the
subdivision of their 167 acre farm. At the request of Mr. Morse, Mr. Freyer-
muth outlined his thoughts on a possible procedure for the platting of the
land. First of all, he had made inquiries on the cost of a three dimensional
plat and found that the going rate is $12-$15 per acre 80 that the Drehers
will be getting by reasonably at the #8.50 an acre or $2,000 for the platting
of their land which they have mentioned previously.
Mr. Freyermuth continued that a development of high class homes in an area
lIpf this size could be.a definite tax advantage for our village so that any
assistance we could give the Drehers in following through with their plans
would be in the best interests of the village. He recommended that the
Drehers acquire a good aerial photo of their lane and then engage a carto-
grapher to make a rough sketch of the proposed plat. 'llliis would cost
between $150 and ~400. With a tentative proposal to consider for all the
land, the Drehers could then proceed to have a few lots definitely platted
and approved. The sale of these first few lots could carry the cost of the
remaining platting. Mr. and Mrs. Dreher objected to this recommendation
because they want to continue to pay taxes on a farm assessment basis
rather than on individual lots.
.
Messrs. Bean and Borgen pointed out that the whole farm could be platted
gradually a section at a time, but that with each sectional pla~ approval
would have to be given first by the planning commission and then by the
village council. Apparently the Drehers were seeking blank approval for
}O,OOOsq. ft. lots throughout their subdivision and left the meeting with
no further commitment as to their plans.
Mr. Boneau had sent a revised sketch of his property, but the commission
through Mr. Morse is requesting that he have a surveyor make a plat of his
land with 50' roads, 100' turn-arounds, both uppe~d lower access roads
and the location of the road connection to a public road.
Messrs. Grathwol and Ploetz wrote us on behalf of st. John the Baptist
Ohurch regarding a new road which would give a second access to the Ohurch
parking lot. No action was taken.
The Excelsior Planning Commission wrote us regarding a system of joint control
of motors on Galpins Lake. Mr. Janvrin mentioned that property owners adjoining
the lake could form an association and decide to ban motors. Walter Bean
was appointed to contact R. S. Kinghorn of the Excelsior Planning Oommission
to discuss a possible course of action which could be recommended.
.
Mr. Bliss had investigated the possibility of a survey of our village through
the U. of M. facilities, but found that it would be necessary for us to
hire one of their consultants.
Mr. Bliss moved that we adjourn.
Respectfully sub~itted,

Dear NIr.Morse:
Enclose find copy of survey,propos~survey and legal
description of my property at Vine Hill. As you will note
on the survey copy the land bordering County Rd.#78 is
33l.1 feet and the east and west lines are 300 feet resp-
ectaoly containing 2~ acres, more or less.
I would like to divide my property into three lots,
I, 2, and 3 as on the propose survey. I r~ize the lots
would be under the minimum size o.f one acre as required
in Shorewood now, but I beleive they would be large enough
as the land is high af'fording excellent draining.
I live on lot one in house marked (A} and would like
to build a new house marked (B) on lot two. There is a
~nalL_cottage marked (C) on lot three.
If there is any more information that you will need
to consider my proposal please call rne at Gr.4-6626.
Sincerely yours,
.

SHORKvJOO:C VILLAGE PLANTHNG COMJ1ISSION
OCT 2a, 1958
The meeting of the Village of Shorewood Planning Commission
was held at the home of the Chairman, Iilr. Norse, on October 28,
1958. All members of the Commission except Mrs. Goodman and
Mr. Handy were present. In the absence of the regular secre-
tary, l\1rs. Goodman, 1tJ^alter Bean acted as secretary.
The Cornmission considered a request by JYIr. George D. Banker
to divide the property he owns bordering on County Road 78
into three lots. This property has a frontage on High'..vay 78
of 331.1 feet and is 300 feet deep. A division of the property
into Urree lots of as near equal size as possible will result
in each lot being approximately 33,000 square feet. After con-
sarable cHscussion of the matter, a vote v.Tas taken with Bliss
and Bean voting in favor of the proposed replatting and Borgen
voting c'cgainst. Morse and l:I'reyermuth abstained. Mr. Banker 1 s
property is immediately adjacent to a tract of approximately
l7~' acres owned by his brother and although the COIT'.Juission, by
the majority vote referred to above, recommends to the Village
Council that this subdivision be approved, it is with the dis-
tinct understanding that, the fact that these tlrree lots do not
meet the 40,000 square foot minimum requirement, the platting of
them is in no way to be considered a precedent with respect to
any request for approval of a plat in the future with respect to
the surrounding area.
'Title request of lVIr. C. G. Norman to subdivide his property on the
old Yellowstone Trail (lot //217, Auditors Subdivision 135) was
again considered by the Commission and Mr. Horse was instructed
to inform lVIr. J\Torman that if he would re-submit his request together
with a plat showing three lots approximating as closely as possible
40,000 square feet each, the Commission would give the request
favorable consideration.
IJ~ letter from Hr. A. .6;. VJoods to Hay Latterner was read by
. Norse. lvIr .vIooas 1 letter stated in effect that he \vould
be interested in purchasing the "Gun Club propertyfl just west
of the Village of gxcelsior on Highway 19 if it could be re-zoned
for use as a used car lot for the purpose of stocking 20 to 30
cars in what l/Ir .vIooas describes in his letter as being 11* * * in
the 2nd car class - probably up to ;it;600 retaillf. After consider-
able discussion, the Commission unanimously decided that it be
recommended to the Village Council that this request for re-zoning
be denied because of the nature of the use to which the land was
proposed to be put. . Morse was instructed to so inform the
Village Council and to again inform the Council that, although
the Com.mission is syn1pathetic toward the probleIYl of the Gun Club,
it feels that a re-zoning to commercial should be permitted only
for a desirable commercia.l use for 1.vhich there is a need on the
part of the residents of the llage.
