My understanding is that these two trees have been impacted. What I have been told is that originally the tree protection fence was placed very close to the two tree trunks and not at the drip line as required. This fence was then taken down and dirt was stockpiled within the drip line. The contractor, directed by you and Phil Tipka, the construction observer, removed this stockpile. In the process of removing this dirt six inches of top soil was also removed from the existing grade and tree roots were exposed. The contractor then was told to cover the roots back up. This has been completed and the tree protection fence is now in place at the drip line. All this work was completed with bob cats that would have compacted the soil. These two Spruce trees were also originally part of a dense woods. Their form is open and sparse and very susceptible to wind damage because they are no longer protected by companion trees. This fact and the construction impacts may really have hurt the trees. Construction damage can take as long as two years to appear on a tree. These trees will need to be watched closely in that it appears as if damage may have occurred. There are some practices that could encourage the health of the trees. Aeration of the soil beneath the drip line could help alleviate the impacts of compaction. Fertilize the trees with an organic fertilizer in order to encourage growth. Grass is a competitor with trees for food and moisture. It is recommended that a wood chip mulch be placed beneath the trees under the drip line so that /1 ,_ l I / .~ " <' '-'"' ''''-- ./ f , (0 , Infrastructure Engineers Planners EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER , Page 2 Tree Protection - Spruce July 22, 1997 they do not have to compete with grass or lawn mowers!

The rebate will be calculated as a percentage of homeowners' and renters' "pay 1997" property taxes and claimed as a refundable credit on the 1997 state income tax form, filed in 1998. The rebate will equal approximately 20% of . "pay 1997" property taxes. K-12 General Education Levy: The state will reduce the general education levy by $93 million for taxes payable in 1998 and thereafter.. In addition, the state will take over the costs of the alternative facilities bonding levy. This levy takeover has a cost of $15.3 million. . Target Class Rates: In addition to the above mentioned class rate changes, target class rates are established in law for commerciaVindustrial property (target class rate; 3.5%), apartments (target class rate; 2.5%) and residential non-homesteads (target class rate; 1.25% first $75,000 of value, 1.85% value over $75,000). Progress will be made towards achieving these target class rates as surplus revenues are captured in the Property Tax Reform Account mentioned below. Education Homestead Credit In order to insulate homeowners from the property tax shifts associated with the class rate reductions, an education homestead credit is established. The education homestead credit will provide a direct benefit to homeowners for education costs which are a state responsibility. The credit will be shown on the property tax statement as a state paid offset to the state controlled general education proPertY tax. For each homestead, the education homestead credit will be equal to 32% of the state determined general education levy, up to a maximum credit ofS22S. For "pay 98" property taxes, the education homestead credit will have a cost of S 1 58 million. Property Tax Reform Account: A property tax reform account is established. The account will be funded with 60 percent of annual surplus revenues. On a biennial basis, the governor will be required toreco~end a new class rate schedule for all properties. A revised class rate schedule must include reductions in the class rates of commercialfmdustrial property, aparunents and residential non-homesteads until such time as ~ target class rates are achieved. The governor must further recommend an appropriation of monies from the property tax reform account for pmposes of achieving the specified class rate compression while mitigating the shiftina of tax burdens on other classes of property. The mitigation of the property tax shift can be accomplished by increasing funding of the education homestead credit, increasing the property tax refund and/or increasing the state share of education funding (reduce K-12 general education levy). Levy Limits: For cities and counties with a population in excess of2,Soo, a two year levy limit will be implemented for taxes payable in 1998 and 1999. The levy limit will allow 93 94 for annual increases in the implicit price deflator and growth in the number of households. It also allows for special levies outside the limit for: I) bonded indebtedness; 2) flood costs; 3) levies to fund matching requirements for federal or state programs; and 4) levies authorized via referendum and spread on market value. Miscellaneous Property Tax Provisions Wind Energy Conversion Systems: For taxes payable in 1998, large wind energy conversion systems (defined as those which are used as an electric power source and produce more than 12 megawatts of energy) will be taxed in the following manner: 25 percent of the market value of all property is taxable; this includes the Additional levies above the limit may be imposed with voter approval and are spread on tax capacity. Renter's Credit: Under current law, the renter's credit is based on the actual property taxes attributable to the rental unit. The bill changes the calculation of the renter's credit so that its based on 18 percent of gross rent. ($10 million increase in the renter's credit) Class Rate Restructuring: One of the central features of the property tax reform package is a substantial restructuring of the class rate structure. The compression of the rates contained in the bill should result in meaningful property tax relief for commerciaV industrial and rental property, but more importantly the rate compression should function as a restraint on spending as homeowners are required to pay for a greater share of the property tax levy. The class rates for the major categories of property will be as follows for "pay 98".

Biomass Property Tax Exemption: Attached machinery and other personal property that is part of a system that generates biomass electric energy will be exempt from property taxes for a period of five years from the time the facility is constructed. In addition, the exemption is only effective upon approval of the governing bodies of the county, city/town and school district. Golf Courses: In an effort to level the proverbial competitive playing field between municipal golf courses and certain privately owned golf courses, a provision was included in the tax bill that will provide a reduced property tax class rate for certain privately owned golf courses. In order to qualify for the preferential class rate the golf course must satisfy the following criteria: I) privately owned and open to the public on a daily fee basis; 2) located in a county with a municipal or county owned golf course or located in a county with a population of less than 50,000; and (3) does not discriminate. .4 Installment and Lease Purcbase Agreements: An obligation created by a lease purchase agreement for personal property or a lease- purchase agreement for real property, if the amount of the contract for purchase of the real property is less than S 1 million, will not be included in the calculation of net debt limits and does not constitute debt under any other statutory. provision. .9 .4 1.4 """,,-y r .-vv'<'.....,.~ ..."'............ y.r y"."v,Ov-.-""'".....^"'v/.~""X<<'^.......~<-X......-:<:..r.r..r.r,N'.iV,..,..~..-.r........ N 1.4 Taxes & Tax Laws 95 Limited Market Value: The "limited market value" law is intended to insulate property owners from substantial increases in their assessed valuations so that they are not hit with the entire amount of the valuation increase in one year. The tax bill strengthened the '.limited market value" law to. provide that the annual increase on a qualifying property's market value cannot exceed the greater of ( 1) ten percent of the preceding year's value or (2) one-fourth (current law is one-third) of the difference between the current assessment and the preceding year's assessment. In addition, the "limited market value" law is extended until 2001. This change in the formula should provide some tax relief to cabin owners who are experiencing rapidly escalating property values. Cabin Tax Credit: A new tax credit is created for cabin owners who experience annual property tax increases in excess of 10 percent. Under this property tax credit, if the net property tax payable on cabin property increases more than 10 percent over the net property taxes payable in the previous year, and if the amount of the increase is at least $100, a claimant is allowed a nonrefundable income tax credit equal to 75% of the first $300 of the increase over 10 percent. (Biennium cost of $2 million) Truth in Taxation In order to provide a more accurate representation of what level of government is responsible for what portion of a taxpayer's property tax bill the truth-in- taxation notice will be revised. Rather than having the focus of the notice be on a comparison of the property owner's current and proposed property taxes, the focus changes to the local government's spending. The new notice will compare the proposed property tax to the tax that would be levied on the property if spending did not change compared to the current year. There will be four columns on the new notice. The first column will be the actual taxes payable in the cUrrent year. The second column will be the tax changes due to spending factors. The third column is the tax change due to other factors such as valuation changes and state aid changes. The fourth column will be the proposed property tax amount for the following year for each taxing jurisdiction. In addition , the new notice will include three tax amounts for school districts: the state-determined school tax, the voter-approved levies and other school levies. Senior Citizen Property Tax Deferral Beginning in 1999, a property tax deferral program for senior citizens with total annual household incomes of less than $30,000 will be established. In order to qualify for the deferral program the following criteria must be satisfied: 1) The property must be owned and occupied by a person 6S years of age or older, 2) the total annual household income of the homeowners must not exceed $30,000; 3) the homestead must have been owned and occupied by at least one of the owners for at least 15 years preceding application for deferral; 4) there must be no delinquent taxes, penalties, interest or special assessments on the property; and 5) the total unpaid balance of debts secured by mortgages and other liens against the property must not exceed 30010 of the market value of the property. A qualifying applicant may defer the property tax on their homestead that exceeds 5 percent of their household income. The state pays the deferred taxes, and the deferred taxes constitute a lien on the property. The deferral terminates if the property is sold, the homeowner dies, the property is no longer a homestead, or the taxpayer chooses to discontinue the deferral. Business Tax Study The Legislative Coordinating Commission (LCC) will conduct a study on business taxation, including telecommunications. The study is to look at the corporate franchise tax, the sales tax on business purchases, and the property tax on businesses. The study is to analyze the effect of substituting other forms or types of business taxation for these taxes. The L.C.C. is authorized to hire consultants to help prepare the study and may appoint a working group of legislators to be involved in the study. The Deparnnent of Revenue and business groups are also to be involved in the study. Tax Increment Financing Local Abatement Autbority: A local unit of government is authorized to abate its tax on a property. It may do so if: 1) it expects the benefits to the political subdivision from the proposed abatement agreement to at least equal the costs to the political subdivision; and, 2) it finds that doing so is in the public interest, because it will increase or preserve the tax base, provide jobs, provide or help acquire or construct public facilities, redevelop or renew blighted areas, or provide access to services for residents. The maximum duration of an abatement is ten. years. In any year, the total amount of property taxes abated may not exceed the greater of five percent of the current levy, or $100,000. This abatement authority is perceived as a viable alternative to traditional tax increment fmancing. 96 Use of Increment from Redevelopment Districts: The provision governing use of proceeds of tax increments from redevelopment districts is amended to provide that the costs include, but are not limited to, those costs that are listed in current law. The allowable uses are expanded to include costs of the rehabilitation of strUctures and removal or remediation of hazardous substances. Caps on Land Acquisition: The bill loosens restrictions on acquiring land with TIF bonds. Allows land to be acquired without a development agreement if the acquisition of the land is not funded by bonds that are secured by tax increment from the acquired property . Eliminate Fiscal Disparity Contribution Elections for New Economic Development Districts: Newly certified economic development TIF districts will no longer be eligible for the option in current law that allows application of the fiscal disparities law in a TIF district under which the fiscal disparities contribution from properties in the district is made by . the municipality and not by the properties in the district. Under this new TIF provision, property within an economic development district certified after June 30, 1991, would be. treated the same for purposes of the application of fiscal disparities, as would property outside the district in the municipality. Economic Development Districts: The permitted use for tax ' increments derived from an economic development district is expanded to allow two types of commercial facilities. One such commercial facility is a "qualified border retail facility". In order to qualify, the commercial facility must satisfy the following criteria: 1) be located in a small city (pop. 5,000 or less) within one mile of the state border and outside the seven- county metropolitan area; 2) contain at least 25,000 square feet of retail space; and 3) without the use of tax increment financing, the facility will locate in another state or country. Tax increment can also be utilized to assist a separately owned commercial facility of up to 15,000 square feet that is located in a city of 5,000 or less. Joint Legislative TIF Task Forc'e: A task force comprised of six house members and six Senate members will be established for purposes of recodifying the TIF law and to recodify and combine the development authority laws into a single development authority with uniform powers. Buffalo Lake TIF: The TIF district located in Buffalo Lake will be exempt from the LGAlHACA offset provision if the ethanol facility to be constructed in the district is certified by the Commissioner of Agriculture to qualify for state payments by December 31, 1998. Brooklyn Center TIF: Exempts the Brooklyn Center TlF district from the five year rule until December 19, 2004. The five year nile requires spending to be completed, bonds to be issued, or binding contracts to be entered within the five year period.

Minneapolis Housing Transition District: Authorizes the creation of a housing transition district in order to satisfy the requirements of the consent decree issued in the case of Holman v. Cisneros. The district may consist of: 1) parcels that contained public housing projects demolished or required to be demolished by the , , . , consent decree; and, 2) additional acreage not to exceed an amount equal to 10% of the areas of the parcel that contained public housing subject to Holman.

Upon request of the tax chairs or the ranking minority members of the tax committees, the Department of Finance will be required to prepare a fiscal note regarding legislation or a rule that imposes a mandate on local governments. In addition, any legislation introduced after June 30, 1997 that seeks to impose a mandate on political subdivisions must include an attachment from the author that explains why and how the mandates are.. to be imposed and descriptions of efforts to involve the impacted local governments in creation or development of the mandate.

Agenda Item #3B: The action here would be just a motion to authorize closing off Noble Road to through traffic near the west end cul-de-sac from 4 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, August 23 (rain date Sunday, August 24). The Police Chief and Fire Marshal have reviewed and approved the request with the understanding that access for emergency vehicles will be maintained. Agenda Item #3C: Because grant application deadlines do not always coincide with City Council meeting dates, this resolution will need to be approved by the City Council before our application for planning funds will be completed. Many cities in the metropolitan area are applying for the funds through the Metropolitan Council to assist in planning efforts. We estimate that we would receive $3,000 to $4,000 to help us financially with the many planning efforts we will be involved in over the next year. Agenda Item #5: Senator Oliver has been invited to attend a City Council meeting to discuss last legislative session and the topic of property tax reform. He is able to attend this meeting and will be present at approximately 7:30 p.m. Agenda Item #6A: Don Christensen initially requested a three lot subdivision for his property at 4905 Suburban Drive. After considerable discussion at the Planning Commission, the applicant revised his request to divide the property into two lots, both of which comply with the requirements of the R-1C zoning district. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the simple subdivision. The proposed resolution requires a simple majority vote by the City Council. Agenda Item #6B: Dr. Charles Oberg and three of his neighbors would like to rearrange the lot lines between their properties to reflect existing use of the properties and eliminate driveway easements on their lots. The Planning Director has recommended approval and the Planning Commission agree unanimously to approve. Approval by the City Council requires a simple majority vote.

CITY OF SHOREWOOD WORK SESSION MEETING TUESDA Y, JULY 8, 1997 COUNCIL CHAMBERS 5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD 7:30 P.M. MINUTES 1. CONVENE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION DRAFT Mayor Dahlberg called the meeting to order at 7:42 p.m. A. Roll Call Present: Mayor Dahlberg; Councilmembers Stover, McCarty, and O'Neill; Administrator Hurm; Planning Director Brad Nielsen; Engineer Larry Brown; Finance Director AI Rolek. Absent: Councilmember Garfunkel . B . Review Agenda The agenda was approved as presented. 2. DISCUSSION OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, SPECIFICALLY WATER AND STREET POLICIES The Council reviewed a list of water policy questions which also outlined the existing policy for each policy area as well as the suggested policies which had been discussed at a prior work session. There were no changes made to the Council's suggested policies as outlined for Questions 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3. Question 2.1 . Water is on Smithtown Road. Smithtown Circle is a cul-de-sac off of Smithtown Road with five homes on it. If they submit a 100 percent petition for water, what would they pay per unit? The suggested policy was that a feasibility study would need to be done and the project would have to be financially feasible. The formula would be the actual cost minus oversizing, minus water revenue over the break-even point. Total costs were not to be less than $5,000. Mayor Dahlberg felt this would be a clear policy if a break-even point were established, however, he noted that point would be somewhat arbitrary. He commented he would not want to deny an area which has a 100 percent request for water their feasibility for that by arbitrarily restricting the break-even point. He stated it would be much more reasonable to stretch the break-even point out five or seven years to make the project more feasible. Mayor Dahlberg suggested five years would be a good target for breaking even on the infrastructure. Councilmember Stover felt the existing policy simplifies the situation by setting a $5,000 assessment per unit. She stated under the suggested policy, different property owners would be paying different amounts for the same service. ~A COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES JUL Y 8, 1997 - PAGE 2 Councilmember Stover inquired whether the Council would prefer residents are encouraged or discouraged to hook up to water and stated she would prefer the Council not do either. Mayor Dahlberg wanted this issue to be neutral. Councilmember McCarty commented she felt people are discouraged from hooking up. Mayor Dahlberg commented if property owners are given a reasonable break -even period, the policy would be neutral. He stated this would be as neutral as any business which offers a service for a price. Councilmember Stover pointed out the City is a monopoly in that property owners either have their own water or they have City water, but they do not have any alternative choice. She did not feel property owners should be charged more or less than someone else who is receiving the same water service. Councilmember Stover was in favor of charging a flat fee and noted everyone pays the same fee for sewer service. Councilmember O'Neill raised the issue of feasibility and asked at what point the Council would determine a project is not feasible. Nielsen explained this would be determined through a review of the project feasibility study which will include an analysis of the break-even point. Mayor Dahlberg felt applying the same standard of a five year break -even period would be fair to all neighborhoods. The alternative would be for the Council to consider each request on a case by . case basis in determining financial feasibility. Brown suggested a possible alternative would be to develop a standard in which the City meets the legal requirements for determining feasibility from a statutory standpoint. Staff would also calculate the break-even point. It could also be calculated to meet the break-even criteria in the event residents are willing to pay a higher amount. Mayor Dahlberg and Councilmember O'Neill stated this is a compromise which would be acceptable to them. Mayor Dahlberg stated the Council could discuss the number of years over which a project must break even as a standard or guide. He felt it would be preferable to utilize a guideline rather than an absolute standard to avoid a situa40n where someone would be denied due to borderline feasibility. . Mayor Dahlberg asked if the Council would be willing to adopt a five year break-even period as a guideline. Nielsen stated consideration would need to be given to how long the City could fmance a project. If the system is not building, there will not be excess funds to cover the cost. Rolek stated at the present time, property owners are assessed over a 15 year period of time. He felt five years would be a somewhat limited period of time and that 10 years may be more appropriate. . Councilmember O'Neill pointed out on smaller projects, due to the difficulty of obtaining bonds, the financing would have to be picked up by the City. He also pointed out the City would need to have the funds to invest. It was decided to amend Sentence No.3 of the suggested policy to read: "The formula would be actual cost minus oversizing minus water revenue over the break-even point as set by Council guidelines. " There were no changes made to the Council's suggested policies as outlined for Questions 2.2 and 2.3. . . COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES JULY 8, 1997 - PAGE 3 Question 3.1 Water is on Smithtown Road. Smithtown Circle is a cul-de-sac off of Smithtown Road with five homes on it. A petition from four of the five neighbors is submitted for water. The suggested policy was that four would pay the cost of the project minus oversizing minus water revenue over the break-even period. The fifth person would not need to participate but would need to sign off on the project. Councilmember Stover suggested changing Sentence 1 to read, "Four would pay the cost of the project minus oversizing minus water revenue over the break -even period and the assessment would not be less than $5,000 per house." There were no changes made to the Council's suggested policies as outlined for Question 3.2. Question 3.3 What if the fifth resident wants to hook up at a later date, what would the charge to that property be? The suggested policy was they would pay the same as what the others paid for the project plus inflation. Councilmember McCarty remarked the fifth person should pay back the neighbors. The neighbors are then paying more to make up for the fifth person. Rolek pointed out the project cost divided by four property owners results in a higher assessment. The fifth person would then eventually pay the higher price which was paid by the neighbors. Councilmember McCarty felt uncomfortable with this given the additional burden it places on the surrounding neighbors. Councilmember Stover suggested the four neighbors pay their assessment and the City fund the assessment of the fifth person with the knowledge the City will recover the funds at some point in the future. Mayor Dahlberg stated this could be a possible approach in determining the financial feasibility of a project. Councilmember O'Neill was in agreement with Councilmember Stover's suggestion of the City funding the assessment of the fifth person. He stated he is not in favor of the surrounding neighbors funding the project for the fifth person. In addition, he would not be in favor of the windfall which the City would actually gain from this particular policy. Mayor Dahlberg felt Councilmember O'Neill was changing his position in an extremely fundamental way. He noted Councilmember O'Neill's previous position had been that a property owner should pay whatever the cost of municipal water becoming available to their property. Mayor Dahlberg suggested if the City retains the ability to determine feasibility, this will ensure property owners will not be over assessed. In addition, the Council could use some. flexibility in determining the feasibility of a project and this would ensure that property owners wanting water will actually get it. Mayor Dahlberg pointed out if the City is paying the fifth assessment, this may be the determining factor in whether or not the project is feasible. Mayor Dahlberg stated there will be a judgment call relative to feasibility on a case by case basis. Brown stated the Council will have to determine the guideline for what is considered feasible for statutory purposes. COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES JULY 8, 1997 - PAGE 4 Nielsen pointed out it will still be necessary for the four residents requesting water to obtain the approval of the fifth in signing off with the knowledge the fifth person will eventually have to pay the assessment. Mayor Dahlberg stated he wants the system to be available when it is petitioned for. Councilmember McCarty stated she also wants it to be viable. Question 4.0 A petition is received for water in an area where it is not available. A trunk main would need to be extended to provide the service. What would the cost be for each unit that petitioned for water? The suggested policy was the petition must be 100 percent (including sign-off). The project must be financially feasible. The project includes trunk main. Formula is cost minus oversizing minus water revenue over the break -even period. The question was raised if there is a need to extend the trunk main, would the people along the trunk main who are not petitioners also have to sign off. Mayor Dahlberg and Councilmember O'Neill stated they would. . Rolek pointed out in the event the trunk main must be extended in the area of people who are not petitioners, but sign off on the project, this cost would have to be covered by the City and this would affect the financial feasibility of the project. Brown remarked the City would need to keep track of all of the various assessment costs for the point in the future when a resident who signed off on the petition would decide to connect to water and be required to pay the assessment. Councilmember McCarty stated another point relative to feasibility is the fact that potential hook ups could be improving the water system by connecting more wells and allowing it to operate more efficiently. Councilmember McCarty expressed concern that a large number of people could petition for water, however, if one person refused to sign off on the petition, the petition would not be successful. MayorDahlberg recalled the Council had discussed at a prior work session that under such extreme . circumstances, the Council could, by 4/5 vote, make an exception and accept the petition. It was decided the Council will further discuss setting a percentage given the fact there is a substantial difference between a 15/1 petition and a 4/1 petition. Councilmember McCarty commented this language would be acceptable, as long as a percentage is addressed. The suggested policy will be amended to include, "A 1 00 percent petition can be changed by a 4/5 vote of the Council." The Council will further discuss what the exact threshold will be. Question 5.1 It has always been the City's policy to require commercial and multi-family units to hook up to water within 90 days of it becoming available. Should this policy continue? The suggested policy was not for buildings of four or fewer units. Yes for commercial, apartments of over four rental units and anything requiring a sprinkler system. COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES JULY 8, 1997 - PAGE 5 Brown reported he has received calls from NSP relative to water and running a 6-inch watermain. NSP stated this is not a budgeted item at this time. Councilmember Stover suggested exceptions and variances could be considered. Question 5.2 If so, what would be the cost for water for these types of development (example, four unit multiple family)? The suggested policy was cost. Mayor Dahlberg commented this should be a minimum of $5,000 to cost. Councilmember Stover felt in the case of a larger development such as the Shorewood Shopping Center, that type of facility should pay a higher cost than a single family residential property. . Mayor Dahlberg anticipated the assessment for a multi-family unit to be higher since it is a more expensive project. Brown clarified a larger pipe is run for a multi-family unit. Mayor Dahlberg remarked if it is more expensive to supply water to a multi-family dwelling as it would be to supply it to a commercial unit, he would not have a problem with assessing them more. Hurm provided a copy of the current policy relative to the method of assessment. Councilmember Stover stated the policy would stay the same with the Rate of Assessment being $5,000. Question 6.1 If a developer of a new development submits a 100 percent petition for municipal water, will water be extended to the area? The suggested policy was yes, if fmancially feasible and if water is immediately adjacent. Properties where main goes by must agree with or sign off on the project. The language of the suggested policy was changed to, "Yes, if financially feasible. Council will take into account all other policies when determining financial feasibility." Question 6.2 . At what cost? The suggested policy was cost minus oversizing. Councilmember Stover recalled the minimum of $10,000 was initially established with the thought that new lots are being created and the new lots have not contributed to the water system over the years as have the existing lots. Rolek clarified under the existing policy, new lots were charged a $5,000 assessment in addition to a $5,000 connection charge. Mayor Dahlberg was comfortable with the idea that charging $10,000 would shorten the break- even period. If the actual cost is ultimately more than $10,000, then the assessment would be the actual cost. Brown pointed out some developers are installing their own watermains which would affect the cost. Mayor Dahlberg clarified there would be a minimum cost of $5,000 plus the $5,000 connection fee. COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES JULY 8, 1997 - PAGE 6 The suggested policy was amended to read, "Cost, but no less than $5,000, plus a $5,000 connection fee." 3. REPORTS Brown reported the Public Works Committee met and discussed pavement management. A number of the cities are beginning three to five year seal coating programs. Currently $30,000 is budgeted for this work. Brown stated these funds will cover only a small fraction of the city. With increasing roadway reconstruction costs, Brown believed maintenance a far better solution than attempting to catch up and pay the costs of reconstruction of the roadways. Brown suggested contributing additional funds toward preventative maintenance rather than reconstruction. He stated the funds would be obtained from the roadway fund and this would be a better cost alternative. Brown also reported on the situation with the Smithtown Road contractor relative to the failing pavement. Brown is recommending to OSM, who is in agreement, that options be explored with . the contractor taking the mill down Smithtown. It would be a total cost to the contractor to mill and overlay the roadway. In addition, the contractor would also pay the cost of mill for the City's portion of the roadway and the City would cover the cost of the overlay. Brown reported compaction reports came back indicating the density requirements were met, however the overlay was insufficient. He pointed out the wet weather has allowed for the maximum amount of failure to the roadway. Brown explained from a practical standpoint of interruption and inconvenience, milling and overlay is the best alternative. It was the consensus of the Council to follow Brown's recommendation. Councilmember Stover was in favor of not inconveniencing the residents. 4.

MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR Fred Dresser, 5480 Gideon Woods, appeared representing the Gideon Woods Association and thanked Mayor Dahlberg and Councilmember O'Neill for the time they have spent with the Association reviewing the problems they are experiencing. Mr. Dresser distributed a priority list to the Council. He stated there is a Universal Outdoor sign on the corner of the Gideon Woods property and County Road 19. This sign was scheduled for removal on July 1, 1997, however, given the $2,000 per year the Association receives relative to that sign as well as the benefit it creates in providing a barrier from the car lights and noise from County Road 19, the neighbors have signed a petition requesting the sign not be removed. Planning Director Nielsen explained both the ordinance and the development agreement require removal of the sign. Councilmember Stover recalled the intent of the City had been to remove signs of this type from the community. Mayor Dahlberg explained many of the issues of the Association are such that the Association may have to hire legal counsel and one of the reasons the Association would like to keep the sign on the property is to offset the costs they will incur. MayorDahlberg stated the Council will need to explore whether the value in taking the sign down is an abstraction where the value of keeping it there is quite concrete. Councilmember O'Neill suggested this be added to a future agenda and the sign be allowed to remain in the meantime. Councilmember Stover stated she would like to have a legal opinion on the matter. She would also like to know the ramifications the City could face relative to other people who were not allowed to keep a sign on their property. City Attorney Dean stated one of the issues for the Council to determine when this matter is address is whether or not there is any precedential value which might have a damaging effect. He also stated the Council has a right for a brief period of time to delay on any further action while the Council considers whether or not an ordinance amendment is appropriate. Mayor Dahlberg directed this matter be returned to the Council for review and consideration on August 11, 1997. A. DISCUSSION WITH POLICE CHIEF RICK YOUNG ON TRAFFIC CONTROL MEASURES Councilmember O'Neill explained there have been many requests from residents for things such as speed bumps and the consensus of the Council was to address these issues through enforcement. . . CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MINUTES JULY 14, 1997 . PAGE 3 Chief Young stated it would not be possible to log where Officer Keller has been working. This would be reflected in the citations which he issues, however, the computer was unable to track this information in the past. He stated it would be possible to do that particular task from this point on. Chief Young reported the number of citations are going down due to the increase in calls the police department receives. He pointed out when an officer is called to a location, this takes him away from traffic enforcement. Chief Young also pointed out there has been an increase in filles, so financially there is not much of a drop, however, the police department takes into consideration the number of citations issued. In a one year period of time, Chief Young explained the average officer wrote 277 tickets. Shorewood Officer Keller issued 523. During this period of time, Officer Keller also had 677 enforcement contacts of which 215 were for speeding. Chief Young believed there to be 12 to 18 trouble spots in the City. The majority of the complaints appear to be during the afternoon rush hour. He explained there has been spot patrolling of these areas. Chief Young stated from an enforcement standpoint, this would require additional funds either for an additional officer or overtime for existing officers. . Chief Young estimated it would cost approximately $16,000 over the summertime for officer overtime. He stated departments with high traffic enforcement experience a lower crime rate and better public relations because the department is responding to the concerns of the neighborhoods. Mayor Dahlberg reported on a ride-along with Officer Keller. He observed there were few cars speeding, however, Officer Keller had been enforcing the speed limits in that particular area the previous week. Chief Young commented over the past 12 months, there was a state grant program which allowed for overtime enforcement. An application has been made for grant funds to cover the overtime costs of additional enforcement. . Councilmember Stover inquired whether the hiring of the Shorewood officer has made a difference in the amount of traffic control time of the Joint Powers officers. Chief Young did not feel this made any difference. Councilmember Stover requested traffic control statistics to reflect the time spent in Shore wood by officers other than Officer Keller. Chief Young stated he will gather that information. Councilmember O'Neill proposed a work session discussion relative to the possibility of allotting additional funds to provide for overtime enforcement. 4 . PARKS . Report by Representative Park Commissioner Pat Arnst reported on the actions taken and matters considered by the Park Commission at their meetings of June 24 and July 9, 1997, (as detailed in the minutes of those meetings). 5. PLANNING . Report by Representative Planning Director Nielsen reported on the actions taken and matters considered by the Planning Commission at their meeting of July 1, 1997, (as detailed in the minutes of that meeting). A. A Motion to Approve an Extension to File the Final Plan of Water's Edge P.U.D. CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MINUTES JULY 14, 1997 - PAGE 4 Applicant: Bill Blegens 20295 Manor Road Location: Stover moved, O'Neill seconded approving an extension to file the final plan of Water's Edge P.U.D., for Bill Blegens, 20295 Manor Road to November 11, 1997. Motion passed 5/0. B . A Motion to Reconsider a Variance Request Applicant: Richard and Ingrid Hoyt Location: 5710 Ridge Road McCarty moved, Stover seconded approving a reconsideration of the variance request for Richard and Ingrid Hoyt, 5710 Ridge Road. Motion passed 5/0. C. A Motion to Establish a Public Hearing Date and Consideration of a Referral Back to the Planning Commission for Reconsideration of a Variance Request for Final Action to be Taken by the Council on August 11 . Applicant: Richard and Ingrid Hoyt Location: 5710 Ridge Road Councilmember Stover inquired whether the public hearing would be held by the Planning Commission or by the Council. Attorney Dean explained there would be no requirement to send it back to the Planning Commission at all. Councilmember Stover commented this would generally be sent back to the Planning Commission in light of new information. She pointed out new information has not been presented, however, this matter is being presented for reconsideration. Attorney Dean explained there is no public hearing required at this time. Councilmember McCarty wanted a public hearing on this matter and she felt it could be heard by . either the Councilor the Planning Commission. Councilmember Garfunkel believed this public hearing should be held before the Council rather than the Planning Commission. Mayor Dahlberg was also in favor of holding a public hearing. Councilmember Stover stated there would be a benefit to the Planning Commission holding the public hearing in that they are used to holding public hearings and members of the Council could certainly attend the meeting. Councilmember Stover was in favor of giving the Planning Commission the option of holding a public hearing on this issue. In the event they choose not to hold a public hearing, the Council could then hold the public hearing. Mayor Dahlberg would support a public hearing, however, in light of the fact there has been no new or additional information presented, he felt it would be understandable if the Planning Commission does not want to hold a hearing, but rather defer to the Council to hold the public hearing. CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MINUTES JULY 14, 1997 . PAGE 5 Stover moved, McCarty seconded, requesting the Planning Commission decide at their July 15, 1997 meeting whether or not they want to hold a public hearing in reconsideration of a variance request for Ingrid and Richard Hoyt, 5710 Ridge Road, with final action to be taken by the City Council on August 11, 1997. Motion passed 5/0. If the Planning Commission does not wish to hold a public hearing, the Council will hold the public hearing on August 11, 1997. D. A Motion to Adopt a Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Permit for Accessory Space Applicant: John Majestic 5840 Eureka Road Location: Garfunkel moved, Stover seconded adopting RESOLUTION NO. 97-52, "A Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Permit for Accessory Space for John . Majestic, 5840 Eureka Road." Motion passed 5/0. 6. CONSIDERATION OF A MOTION REGARDING STREET LIGHTING AT BRYNMA WR . Mayor Dahlberg noted surveys were sent to 48 residents relative to street lighting with only six surveys being returned. He further noted two of the six surveys were opposed to the lighting and four were in support. Councilmember Stover pointed out one of the surveys which was returned did not appear to be either for or against the lighting, but was just questioning it. Engineer Brown explained the lights were installed as a part of the development and then after a period of time, the lights were energized by the developer. Questions were then raised as to whether or not the lights should have been energized at that time. Councilmember Stover pointed out this was not a part of the development agreement, but that the lights were a compromise between the lights installed by the developer and a less intensive light. Planning Director Nielsen stated the majority of the residents of Brynmawr did, however, support the lights. Mayor Dahlberg expressed concern only 6 of the 48 questionnaires were returned. Councilmember McCarty recalled at the time this issue was raised, there were many people present to address this issue. She felt the lack of response to the questionnaire could be interpreted to mean the residents are satisfied with the lights as they currently exist. Mayor Dahlberg believed this to be a reasonable interpretation. Councilmember Stover suggested there may be different residents in the area now than when this issue was initially raised. In addition, this may have been a broader survey than necessary in that some of the residents may not be in close proximity to the light and may not be able to see it or even be aware of it. Mayor Dahlberg stated if there is a significant change of heart in the neighborhood, this could be brought to the attention of the Council for further consideration. Councilmember O'Neill stated unless there is a legitimate safety concern, he is not in favor of street lights in Shorewood. Councilmember Stover pointed out there were guidelines which were followed at the time this matter was considered. CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MINUTES JULY 14, 1997 - PAGE 6 Mayor Dahlberg suggested a Mayor's meeting for this area to further discuss this matter. He noted he intends to make some telephone calls to the residents to gain their input. Dahlberg moved, O'Neill seconded tabling this matter to the August 11, 1997, meeting of the City Council for further consideration. Councilmember Garfunkel asked Mayor Dahlberg what methodology he intends to use. Mayor Dahlberg stated his intention to schedule a Mayor's Meeting with the Brynmawr neighborhood to discuss any issues the neighborhood may have, including the issue of the lights. Motion passed 4/1. (McCarty was the dissenting vote.) 7. CONSIDERATION OF A MOTION TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR THE SOUTH LINK LATERAL EXTENSION Engineer Brown reviewed the feasibility report in detail. Councilmember Stover noted that two of the five petitioners have already been assessed. Brown stated that assessment was levied at the time watermain was completed along Smithtown Road since they benefitted from that watermain. Councilmember Stover inquired whether those $5,000 assessments are included on the assessment roles at this time. Brown confirmed that they are. . Councilmember Stover stated that technically those two properties could, at substantial expense, hook onto the water system at a significant distance. Brown noted that to be true. Councilmember Stover asked approximately how much it would cost for those property owners to hook on. Brown estimated it would cost approximately $17,000 for one property and approximately $8,000 for the other since it would be approximately half of the distance. Councilmember Stover inquired how much the cost would be for an average lot abutting a street with watermain available. Brown stated it would be approximately $800 to $1,200. Mayor Dahlberg clarified the total cost of the project is divided by five petitioners and he suggested the $10,000 which was already paid by two of the petitioners could be deducted from the total cost . of the project. Hurm pointed out those two assessments were taken into consideration when water was put in on Smithtown Road and then should not be taken into consideration in the current project. Mayor Dahlberg reported there have been work session discussions relative to analyzing the cost and the profitability of a particular project through a break-even analysis. A feasibility cost alternative analysis was prepared and distributed to the Council. This analysis was reviewed by Administrator Hurm who pointed out a 15 year break-even point was utilized. Mayor Dahlberg explained to the petitioners the 15 year break-even time period and the potential cost of approximately $12,000. Brown explained it could potentially cost approximately $6,000 to hook up the water from the City main to the home itself. Bill Wicka, 27930 Srnithtown Road, did not feel the properties which were assessed during the Smithtown Road project benefitted from that project given the fact it will possibly cost them an additional $17,500 to hook up to the watermain. Dahlberg moved, Garfunkel seconded recessing the meeting at 9:34 p.m. Motion passed 5/0. Mayor Dahlberg reconvened the meeting at 9:46 p.m. CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MINUTES JULY 14, 1997 - PAGE 7 Brown stated due to the outcome of the feasibility report, a public hearing was not scheduled and plans and specifications were not obtained. He noted contingencies were significantly reduced and/or eliminated to reduce the analysis. . Brown suggested obtaining contractor input to determine whether the figures in the analysis are reasonable. Mayor Dahlberg wanted the feasibility report expanded to include the break-even analysis alternative. Councilmember Stover felt staff should obtain input from the property owners to determine their continued interest in pursuing this project. Dahlberg moved, O'Neill seconded tabling this matter to August 11, 1997, and directing staff to expand the feasibility report including a break even analysis and to gather input from the petitioners for the South Link Lateral Extension for further consideration at the next meeting. Motion passed 5/0. 8. CONSIDERA TION OF A MOTION TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING A PETITION AND LEVYING FOR W ATERMAIN TRUNK CHARGES AND SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS - WATTEN PONDS . O'Neill moved, Garfunkel seconded to reconsider a Resolution Accepting a Petition and Levying for Watermain Trunk Charges and Special Assessments for Watten Ponds. Motion passed 5/0. McCarty moved, O'Neill seconded adopting RESOLUTION NO. 97-53, "A Resolution Accepting a Petition and Levying for Watermain Trunk Charges and Special Assessments - Watten Ponds." Motion passed 5/0. 9. CONSIDERATION OF A MOTION TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BIDS AND A WARDING A CONTRACT FOR A JOINT SEALCOA TING PROJECT . Brown explained the total base bid to be $46,344.32. This is in combination with Tonka Bay with $23,878.32 representing Shorewood's portion of the cost. The award of the contract is based on the total base bid. McCarty moved, Stover seconded adopting RESOLUTION NO. 97-54, "A Resolution Accepting Bids and A warding a Contract for a Joint Sealcoating Project to Allied Blacktop." Motion passed 5/0. 10. CONSIDERATION OF A MOTION TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BIDS AND AWARDING A CONTRACT FOR PROJECT NO. 95-19 SHADY ISLAND BRIDGE Brown stated Jay Brothers is a good contractor who does quality work, however they are aggressive and he would expect to see change orders on a few of the items. Based on their low bid and the history of the quality work of the contractor, Brown felt this to be a worthwhile bid. He also pointed out performance and payment bonds will be required. Stover moved, McCarty seconded adopting RESOLUTION NO. 97-55, "A Resolution Accepting Bids and Awarding a Contract for Project No. 95-19 Shady Island Bridge to Jay Brothers, Inc., in the amount of $266,267.03." Motion passed 5/0. CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MINUTES JULY 14, 1997 - PAGE 8 Councilmember Stover inquired whether there is any system by which smaller vehicles could be utilized by the school district and other services during the time of this construction. Brown stated during construction, staff would hope 'these services would utilize smaller vehicles from a construction, safety and liability standpoint. Attorney Dean will investigate this matter to determine whether there are statutory restrictions which may be imposed during the period of construction. 11. ADMINISTRATOR AND STAFF REPORTS A . STAFF REPORT ON DEVELOPMENT MONITORING Nielsen reported Phil Tipka has been inspecting the Watten Ponds and Marsh Pointe construction sites on a daily basis. The developer of Watten Ponds is currently in the process of resolving differences with the Watershed District. Mr. Tipka has requested additional erosion control fencing which has not been put in place. The developer has been contacted and the pump has been turned off so the pond cannot be pumped . until the erosion control is in place. A meeting has been scheduled with the developer to direct the relocation of some of the tree protection fencing and to discuss some of the other site issues before the project is again underway. With respect to Smithtown Meadows, the street and utilities are in. Staff expects landscaping to be completed by the end of July. The fencing of Marsh Pointe has been damaged in several locations. Mr. Tipka has addressed this issue with the developer and issued punch lists both on the Watten Ponds and Marsh Pointe projects. Mayor Dahlberg inquired relative to a piece of curbing which was placed on the LRT. Brown stated the developer has been advised this must be removed. Staff will be meeting with Mr. Dillerud to discuss various issues on the site and this will be included in that discussion. Brown reported on the Southshore Center and stated that measures have been taken to ensure the project is completed to specification and the contractor is off the site. A punch list has been . developed and steps are being taken to secure contractors to ensure these items are completed. Brown reported Badger Field has been sodded and staff was very pleased with the performance of the contractor. Councilmember O'Neill reported he has inspected the erosion fence at Marsh Pointe and noted the inspector was on top of this issue. Brown stated a daily punch list is developed and faxed to the developer. Mayor Dahlberg asked if the NURP pond on the Smithtown Meadows site meets the requirements of the Watershed District. Brown stated that project was approved prior to the Watershed District requiring NURP ponds. CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MINUTES JUL Y 14, 1997 - PAGE 9 B . DISCUSSION ON COMMENTS FROM THE SHORELINE Hurm reviewed some of the resident input which was received relative to the Shoreline. One of the suggestions was to implement a volunteer motor moratorium where on the third Sunday of every month of the summer, residents would voluntarily not operate chain saws, lawn equipment and the like. Mayor Dahlberg felt this could be approached on a neighborhood basis. Councilmember McCarty didn't feel any action would be required of the Council, but that the message will get out to the neighbors. Hurm reviewed a suggestion relative to signage in Freeman Park and that the City Park entrance sign at the park be changed to reflect the name of the park. The resident suggested this would reduce the amount of traffic through Shorewood Oaks in looking for City Park. Hurm stated there may be some changes in the coming year and it may be appropriate to refer this matter to the Park Commission for their consideration. Councilmember O'Neill stated it can be a difficult park to find. Hurm noted the Park Capital Improvement Plan has funds allocated for signage of Freeman Park. . C. DISCUSSION ON WORK SESSION SCHEDULE The consensus of the Council was to follow the schedule suggested by staff to hold work sessions on August 18 and August 26. 12. MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL REPORTS Mayor Dahlberg requested a meeting with the Department of Transportation regarding closure of the various roadways along Highway 7. A. ESTABLISH OPEN FORUM MEETING TOPICS FOR NEXT MONTH Councilmember O'Neill proposed an open forum relative to snowmobiles. Councilmember McCarty did not feel it would be possible to hold an open forum on this particular issue. A work session in August will be set aside for consideration of the snowmobile issue. . B . DISCUSSION ON POLICE CONTRACT Mayor Dahlberg recalled the Council had been interested in extending the police contract from a five year contract to a ten year contract and essentially leaving the provisions of the contract as they exist. If a change in the formula is indicated, this change should take place on a gradual basis. Mayor Dahlberg reported he will be meeting with the other mayors and will relay this information to them. Gideon Woods MayorDahlberg and Councilmember O'Neill met with the Gideon Woods neighborhood. There were discussions relative to utilizing the escrow to cover some of the unfinished items in the project. In addition, the sign issue was discussed. Mayor DaWberg reported a meeting was held with the Games Trust, the owner of the land. There is a plan of action to get the last four units built. Councilmember O'Neill stated at this time, everything is in the preliminary stages. CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MINUTES JULY 14, 1997 - PAGE 10 13. ADJOURNMENT Stover moved, O'Neill seconded adjourning to a work session at 10:44 p.m. subject to the approval of claims. Councilmember O'Neill noted a memo was received from Hennepin County relative to a study on Highway 19 and the study revealed this highway is an appropriate place for installation of a signal light. Mayor Dahlberg suggested laying out the details from a budgetary standpoint as well as any impact this project may have on the City. Motion passed 5/0.

The agenda was approved as presented. . 2. DISCUSSION OF DEVELOPMENT MONITORING AND TREE PRESERVATION POLICY Attorney Dean pointed out the Tree Preservation Policy is not enforceable in cases where there is no PUD agreement or some other type of contract with the developer. Councilmember Stover recalled the Tree Preservation Policy was never intended to affect a private person's property either before or after a home is constructed, however, the policy was to address major, large scale developments. Nielsen stated the way the current policy is written, any new home would be subject to this policy, but it is not intended to prevent a property owner from subdividing their property. Councilmember Stover stated she would not want to tell a new resident where he can or cannot have the trees on his own property. She felt this to be a different issue from a developer who would come in and clear cut land. . MayorDahlberg stated the practical issue has to do with developers who clear cut for the purpose of efficiency. Councilmember Garfunkel stated he would not want to make the policy too restrictive. He felt that an individual person who comes in, buys a single lot and clear cuts it is as damaging as the person who comes in and buys ten lots. Mayor Dahlberg raised the question of whether or not a property owner would be allowed to cut all of the trees on their personal lot. Councilmember Garfunkel stated the policy covers the period of construction, but that once a home is built on the property, the property owner would be free to remove the trees if he so desired. Mayor Dahlberg stated his understanding the Council would not want to consider a policy which exercises control over the resident's property. For the purposes of this policy, a developer or a construction business would be defmed and the policy would apply to them. # ;2C- CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES JULY 14, 1997 - PAGE 2 Councilmember Stover was concerned the policy takes away a person's right to do what they want on their own property. Councilmember Garfunkel questioned why the rights of a developer would be different than the rights of the private homeowner. Councilmember Stover stated developers are in the business for profit and negotiations can be done during the development agreement. Administrator Hurm noted that this policy applies to every person who takes out a building permit for a new home. Engineer Brown suggested there needs to be modification to the plan relative to construction and determination of which trees can and cannot be saved. He felt the Council should defme a policy which is flexible. Mayor Dahlberg stated he could envision a tree preservation policy which would allow staff and inspectors on an ongoing basis to be on the site marking specific trees that are going to be saved and marking other trees where there is no hope they can be saved. Councilmember O'Neill remarked there needs to be a provision in the policy to incorporate categories of trees. Mayor Dahlberg suggested categories such as trees that will be saved, trees that will attempt to be saved and trees which will defmitely be removed. Nielsen stated this can be addressed in the current policy more properly through the plan approval process where these trees would be identified. . Mayor Dahlberg suggested it would be an effective policy if the process were altered to allow the tree preservation plan to be completed after some work is done on the development area and then designations could be made and trees could be marked and preserved at that time. Hurm felt this could be accomplished with the use of a forester to make those determinations. Councilmember Stover questioned whether this would be an additional staff person or a contract forester. Hurm stated it would be a contract forester. Nielsen was in agreement with Mayor Dahlberg's suggestion and commented once the initial road work is cut in, a fmal plan could be completed at that time. Mayor Dahlberg remarked. there needs to be clear accountability and the policy needs to articulate the categories and specifically state there is no guarantee that something that is labeled as attempted to be saved will actually be saved. This would be left to the goodwill of the developer and the City. . Hurm pointed out the policy provides that some or all of the cost of a forester may be charged back to developers. The forester would inspect individual home building sites as well as developments. He explained Attorney Dean has advised that a charge for forestry inspections cannot be charged on the building permit. Hurm pointed out that through a development agreement, a developer could be subject to a charge which would pay for the forester, however, the forester charge could not be applied to someone building an individual home and the City would have to pay that charge. Brown pointed out Watten Ponds is still viewed as a development, however, individual property owners are applying for building permits. Councilmember Stover felt a person who wants to live there, should be able to do what they wish with their own lot. Councilmember O'Neill raised the issue of a developer who buys a lot and builds a home which will be sold upon complete. Councilmember Stover felt this would be a different situation. Mayor Dahlberg believed a forester would be a good idea in a particular situation and the Council could decide this on a case by case basis. He stated the Council would have to rely on staff to ensure there is a tree preservation plan is in place. . . CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES JULY 14, 1997 - PAGE 3 Councilmember McCarty suggested a tree dedication fund similar to the park dedication fund. Attorney Dean advised the City cannot collect a fee in connection with a building permit process. It would be proper to impose a surcharge to developers to help finance the work of a forester beyond the work they might provide for those kinds of activities. He noted many of the individual lots require Conditional Use Permits and variances and other approvals by the City which would give rise to fees and charges which could be used to defray some of the costs. Attorney Dean stated if the only approval a person needs from the City is a building permit, the mechanisms and standards and procedures for issuing a building permit are entirely controlled by state law and the City could not impose an additional fee. The fees currently in place are the result of a regulatory requirement which is placed on a property owner. Councilmember Garfunkel inquired what it would cost to have a forester perform an inspection. Nielsen estimated approximately $30 to $35 per hour to be on site inspecting trees. He also estimated it would take several hours of inspection time on the site depending on the size of the lot and the number of trees. Mayor Dahlberg stated there is an enforcement issue relative to whether there is sufficient staff to really enforce the Tree Preservation Policy. He commented this issue will need to be addressed. Mayor Dahlberg clarified there needs to be defined categories in the policy at the time of the site plan so neighbors are well aware of which trees will be saved and which ones will be removed. There will also need to be a determination as to whether a forester is to be used and if the City has sufficient staff to cover enforcement. Councilmember McCarty asked at what point the City could determine whether a tree survives or not since it could take up to five years for this to become known. Nielsen felt this to be an issue where the City would need to look to the advice of a forester. Brown stated there is a replacement provision in which a developer would have to replace any tree which was to be saved and was then removed. Councilmember McCarty commented a forester can only give an opinion and would not be able to make a guarantee whether a tree is going to live or die. Hurm stated the City would have to be reasonable in that a developer cannot be held accountable for a period of five years. He also cautioned the City could be responsible for spending thousands of dollars removing dead trees from the boulevards because it was attempted to save every tree. With respect to changing the policy to include an administrative monetary penalty for taking down trees which were supposed to be saved, Attorney Dean provided a draft of a policy for purposes of discussion and explained the policy in detail. Mayor Dahlberg expressed concern that after a few years, residents may complain they are being judged by an unelected municipal authority if the City Administrator were to serve as the hearing officer. He suggested enhancing this provision to indicate the resident may have his matter heard in District Court. Mayor Dahlberg would like to proceed with incorporating the idea that the Tree Preservation Policy cannot necessarily be completed in advance of the developer beginning his work. Trees would also be categorized as those which will be attempted to be saved, those which must be saved and those which will not be saved. CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES JULY 14, 1997 - PAGE 4 Hurm suggested the Council's ideas be drafted and brought before the Planning Commission for their consideration and review. Councilmember Stover stated nothing in the policy should prevent building on an existing lot of record provided that such building shall be designed to save as many trees as possible. 4.

Absent: Chair Pisula. APPROVAL OF MINUTES . Lizee moved, Borkon seconded approving the June 17, 1997, Planning Commission Meeting Minutes as amended on Page 5, Paragraph 6, change "field" to "EMFs"; Page 11, Paragraph 2, last sentence, change "type" to "size"; Paragraph 10, change to read, "Commissioner Kolstad felt if the Commission were to consider a moratorium, consideration should be given to establishing a policy and to do this, additional information would be needed." Motion passed 6/0. (Commissioner Foust abstained.) 1. SIMPLE SUBDIVISION (formerly Ironwood Hills preliminary plat -tabled at Planning Commission Meeting of June 3, 1997) Applicant: Dale Nelson, representing Don Christensen Location: 4905 Suburban Drive Commissioner Kolstad inquired whether staff is satisfied with the site lines on the driveway at this point. Nielsen stated they are satisfactory. Commissioners Borkon and Lizee noted their agreement with the plan. Commissioner Foust inquired what would happen to the existing garage. Mr. Nelson stated the garage will be removed. Mr. Nelson stated he had informed all of the neighbors of the proposed plans and they were in support of them. Borkon moved, Lizee seconded approving the simple subdivision for Dale Nelson, representing Don Christensen, 4905 Suburban Drive, subject to staff recommendations and the removal of the existing garage. Motion passed 6/0. Nielsen stated this matter will be considered by the City Council at their meeting of July 28, 1997. .~ " PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 1, 1997 - PAGE 2 2. PUBLIC HEARING - C.U.P. FOR BANK FACILITY WITH DRIVE-THRU (tabled at Planning Commission Meeting of June 3, 1997) Applicant: Bayside Financial Corp. Location: 23780 State Highway 7 Nielsen reported the applicant has requested this matter be continued for 30 days to allow him the opportunity to resolve issues relative to the necessary easement. Foust moved, Borkon seconded to table this matter to August 5, 1997. Motion passed 6/0. Vice Chair Turgeon recessed the meeting at 7: 13 p.m. and reconvened at 7: 15 p.m. 3. PUBLIC HEARING - C.U.P. FOR ACCESSORY SPACE OVER 1200 SQ. FT. Applicant: John Majestik Location: 5840 Eureka Road . Mr. Majestik was present and noted the square footage of the home to be 1,470 as opposed to the 1,662 determined by staff, however, he pointed out he is still within the 10 percent requirement. Vice Chair Turgeon opened the public hearing at 7:21 p.m. Hearing no public testimony, the public hearing was closed at 7:21 p.m. Commissioner Lizee questioned whether the paved driveway to the north side of the attached garage would fall within the side yard setback. Nielsen stated the setback is adequate, however, the applicant proposes grass for this area rather than an improved driveway. Commissioner Lizee also asked whether there is any business enterprise anticipated for this property. Mr. Majestik stated this space will simply serve as a workshop and additional storage ~a. . Commissioner Kolstad inquired as to the process followed in determining the square footage measurements. Nielsen stated in this particular case he used the site plan which was provided. Commissioner Champa asked if the deck and the porch would be considered a part of the house for purposes of determining square footage. Nielsen stated the porch would be considered in that calculation. Mr. Majestik noted he had not included the porch area in his calculation and Nielsen felt this would probably account for the discrepancy between the square footage Mr. Majestik calculated and the square footage calculated by staff. Lizee moved, Champa seconded approving a C. U.P. for accessory space over 1200 square feet for John Majestik, 5840 Eureka Road, subject to staff recommendations. Motion passed 6/0. Vice Chair Turgeon noted this matter will come before the City Council for their consideration at their meeting of July 28, 1997. Vice Chair Turgeon recessed the meeting at 7:26 p.m. and reconvened at 7:30 p.m. I PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 1, 1997 - PAGE 3 4. PUBLIC HEARING - PRELIMINARY PLAT - REG. LAND SURVEY Applicant: Charles Oberg Location: 5590, 5595, 5625 ad 5635 Christmas Lake Point Dr. Oberg expressed his appreciation to Planning Director Nielsen for his assistance in this matter. . Vice Chair Turgeon opened the public hearing at 7:33 p.m. Hearing no public testimony, the public hearing was closed at 7:33 p.m. Commissioner Borkon asked why the applicant decided to undertake this project. Dr. Oberg stated it became evident in the process of completing some survey work that the lot lines did not conform to. the main road or the driveways. The goal is to straighten the lot lines and eliminate the easements which really should not be necessary. He felt it would be logical to reconfigure the lots. Commissioner Borkon commended Dr. Oberg and his neighbors for working together and accomplishing this reconfiguration. Commissioners Champa, Lizee, and Foust noted their agreement. Borkon moved, Lizee seconded approving the preliminary plat - reg. land survey for Charles Oberg, 5590, 5595, 5625 and 5635 Christmas Lake Point. Motion passed 6/0. Vice Chair Turgeon noted this matter will come before the City Council for their consideration at their meeting of July 28, 1997. 5. SIMPLE SUBDIVISION . Applicant: Michael Greer Location: 6020 Galpin Lake Road Mr. Greer was not in attendance. Daryl Blakeborough, 5990 Galpin Lake Road, the property owner immediately to the north of Mr. Greer, was in attendance and inquired relative to the future of the existing driveway which he pointed out is nonconforming. Nielsen stated an easement would have to be obtained from Mr. Blakeborough prior to obtaining a building permit for the new home. In the absence of an easement, the driveway would have to be reconfigured to be in compliance which would require the driveway be brought back five feet onto Mr. Greer's property. Nielsen felt Mr. Greer was more than willing to make that change. Vice Chair Turgeon inquired whether there are restrictions relative to the wetland area. Nielsen explained the applicant must maintain the wetland buffer. The house will be set back to accommodate the 50-foot total wetland buffer and setback. The driveway will encroach on the buffer area. Commissioner Borkon asked when it was decided driveways could encroach upon the wetland buffer area. Nielsen explained it has always been a part of the policy. He noted streets may encroach on the wetland buffer area where necessary, however, these situations are avoided as much as possible. 0; PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 1, 1997 - PAGE 4 Commissioner Borkon noted she had assumed the existing house would maintain the shared driveway. Nielsen noted if Mr. Greer were able to obtain the necessary easement from Mr. Blakeborough, that would be possible. Borkon moved, Lizee seconded approving a simple subdivision for Michael Greer, 6020 Galpin Lake Road. Motion passed 6/0. Vice Chair Turgeon noted this matter will come before the City Council for their consideration at their meeting of July 28, 1997. 6. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR Tom Murphy, 27360 Blue Ridge Lane, requested the Howard's Point Marina sign be removed from Smithtown Road. He stated this sign adds clutter and has created a nuisance in keeping the area clear of debris and things such as garage sale and realty signs. Mr. Murphy noted the sign is in violation of city ordinance in that it is located within 9 feet of the curb and 23 feet from the center line of the roadway. Nielsen stated a letter was sent to the Howard's Point Marina and he has been informed the Marina . will be appealing this zoning ordinance violation. He noted the sign does violate city ordinance in that it is located in the public right-of-way and is an off-site sign. Commissioner Borkon questioned whether or not this sign could have been grandfathered in. Nielsen stated he will consult with the City Attorney relative to this matter, however, he felt that given the sign is in the public right-of-way and the fact the sign is on public property as opposed to private property, it would not have been grandfathered in. Mr. Murphy was informed this matter will come before the Planning Commission on August 5, 1997, for consideration of a zoning ordinance violation. 7. REPORTS Commissioner Kolstad reported on the matters considered and the actions taken by the City Council at their meeting of June 23, 1997. Issues relative to the Shady Island Bridge and the Watten Ponds development were discussed. With respect to the Watten Ponds development, Commissioner Kolstad noted an inspection program had been established and inquired whether a schedule had been developed to ensure all of the concerns relative to this development were addressed. Nielsen stated weekly trips were made to the site, however, the types of complaints which are being made to the City would require daily inspections. . Nielsen stated this is a very clean construction site. He felt for the City to be as on top of the development as the residents are, this will require daily inspections. This suggestion will be brought before the Council, however, Nielsen was unsure whether the Council will be willing to fund this. Nielsen noted there had been complaints relative to dirt piled up against the erosion control fencing. He explained that is the purpose of erosion control fencing, although it does need to be pulled back. ;"l PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 1,1997 - PAGE 5 Commissioner Borkon pointed out there appears to be a misconception of the controls in place and how they are working, such as complaints being received relative to the treatment of a tree which is actually hollow and not a viable tree. She felt there to be some confusion relative to definition. Nielsen noted the construction site does represent a drastic change to the area and what needs to be considered is the finished product. He referenced other projects within the City which have been successfully completed. Council Liaison O'Neill noted some areas of the silt fences were down on the site. He felt the Watten Ponds construction site to be better than the majority of the sites he has visited in his 27 years of construction, although there has not been 100 percent compliance. Commissioner Lizee asked if there is a need to be concerned with trespassing on the Watten development and whether concerns have been raised relative to people trespassing on the property. Nielsen was not aware of any complaints in that regard. Vice Chair Turgeon requested the Commission receive a copy of Mayor Dahlberg's response to Mr. Miller's allegations. . Commissioner Kolstad stated when the Planning Commission makes recommendations, sometimes there is not a lot of documentation relative to what was discussed and what the actual recommendation was. She noted the Planning Commission has no documentation that their recommendations, as they were made, are actually the same as those presented to the City Council. Commissioner Kolstad felt there may be some responsibility on the part of the Commission to ensure if there is a misunderstanding that it can be corrected so the Council is clear on what is being recommended. Nielsen explained the Council receives the same staff reports as the Commission in addition to a copy of the Planning Commission Minutes. He suggested providing the Commission with copies of the resolutions which are presented to the Council. Vice Chair Turgeon suggested adding this issue to the July 15, 1997, study session for further discussion. * * * Relative to future meetings, the consensus of the Commission was to hold their regular meeting as . scheduled on August 5, 1997. The work session scheduled for August 19, 1997, will not be held. * * * Nielsen reported there are two property owners on Enchanted Island threatening legal action based on the denial they have received from the City to use a dock which is located on an outlot. The owner of the outlot did appeal. This appeal was rejected by the City Council. The City Attorney had inquired whether there would be some merit in considering an ordinance amendment which would allow a dock on a parcel which is not otherwise buildable. Nielsen noted the Commission has been consistently not allowing that type of use. Commissioner Lizee asked if the property owner of the outlot has a principle residence on the lake. Nielsen stated the owner of the outlot does not have a principle residence on the lake. He also noted the two property owners concerned do not have principle residences on the lake either. Nielsen stated the two property owners concerned have an old easement over the subject outlot which is owed by the adjoining property owner. t., ) --'~ PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 1, 1997 - PAGE 6 Commissioner Borkon questioned whether the easement is for swimming or dock rights. She note~ if the easement is for swimming, the Planning Commission would probably consider this a non-Issue. Council Liaison O'Neill noted a majority of the Council did not feel there to be a reason to reopen discussion of this issue. Commissioner Kolstad felt if the Commission were to consider changing the ordinance, that it should be changed in total for all accessory uses. Commissioner Borkon noted her agreement. Commissioner Lizee did not feel there to be a need to reopen this matter. Commissioner Foust noted his agreement with Commissioner Kolstad. He felt in the situation of a buildable lot, the property owner should be allowed the use of his property. He would be in favor of reviewing this issue if this were the actual property owner requesting permission to put a dock on a buildable lot and not two other property owners attempting to gain lakeshore rights. In general, he felt prohibiting any accessory use is somewhat restrictive. Vice Chair Turgeon did not want to revisit this matter. Commissioner Champa felt the ordinance should be reviewed and some changes made to it to address some of the issues which were raised .. by Commissioner Foust. Nielsen explained distinguishing between permitted and accessory uses is a very basic premise of zoning. Maintenance would be one reason for this. 8.

TO: FROM: DATE: RE: FILE NO.: Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council Brad Nielsen 19 June 1997 Ironwood Hills - Proposed Subdivision 405 (97.06) . Dale Nelson, representing Don Christensen, has submitted a revised plan for subdividing the property at 4905 Suburban Drive. Instead of three lots served by a short cul-de-sac street, the applicant now proposes a simple two-lot division (see Exhibit A). The proposed lots will contain 37,620 square feet and 50,470 square feet of area. The lots also comply with the width requirements of the R -1 C zoning district. Note that Parcel B is somewhat wider than Parcel A to take advantage of the topography of the site. Not only do the lots exceed the minimum requirements of the R-1C district, a number of issues are resolved by the revised plan. No longer is a pond required, and the amount of site alteration is significantly reduced. Tree preservation is considerably enhanced and can be addressed with individual building permits for the lots since the division itself requires no tree removal. Approval of the subdivision is recommended, subject to the following conditions: 1 . The applicant must pay $1000 for park dedication and $1000 for sanitary sewer access for the newly created lot. Credit is given for the existing lot. 2. The applicant must submit a title opinion or title commitment, up-to-date within 30 days, for review by the City Attorney. 3. The applicant must record the division within 30 days of the Council's approval of the division. cc: Jim Hurm Larry Brown John Dean Dale Nelson A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore (/( .. :bffl/ ~t/ 0) o t I 0). o ...... , . z ~~ == . en -L ..... = 0 II 0 /'.)

TO: FROM: DATE: RE: FILE NO: Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council Brad Nielsen 26 March 1997 Ironwood Hills - Preliminary Plat 405 (97 06) BACKGROUND Mr. Don Christensen has requested preliminary plat approval to subdivide the property located at 4905 Suburban Drive (see Site Location map - Exhibit A, attached) into three lots, as shown on Exhibit B. . The property is zoned R-1C, Single-family Residential and contains 2.02 acres. An existing house and a detached garage currently occupy the property. The site changes 18 feet in elevation from 1004 where the existing house is located to 986 at the middle of the south property boundary. The property is heavily wooded, primarily with oaks and maples. The lot to the north of the subject property is vacant. Patio homes in the Amesbury development are located to the east, and a single-family home is located to the south of the site. The applicant proposes to build a short cul-de-sac street to serve the three lots. The culde-sac takes advantage of the high ground in the northwest comer of the property. The lots range in size from 20,150 square feet to 30,850 square feet in area. ISSUES AND ANALYSIS The proposed plat complies with the technical requirements contained in the Shorewood Zoning and Subdivision Codes. The lots all meet or exceed the minimum area requirement (20,000 square feet), width requirement (100 feet), and depth requirement (120 feet) of the R-1C zoning district. The proposed cul-de-sac street right-of-way complies with the Shorewood Subdivision Code (50' r.o.w. and 120' dia. cul-de-sac). Nevertheless, the proposed division presents several concerns which need to be addressed. A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore ~,x B. . . Memorandum Ironwood Hills Preliminary Plat 27 March 1997 A. Street Location. There are two possible locations for the proposed street. One is where the existing house is now, at the high point on the site. This may be the best spot in terms of limiting tree removal, but poses some question with respect to sight distance along Suburban Drive. The vertical curve on Suburban Drive between Idlewild Path and the new street, may create somewhat of a blind intersection. Lining up the new street with Idlewild ~ath may resolve this problem. The City Engineer has been asked to comment on this Issue. Lot Configurations. The lot line between Lots 2 and 3 has been gerrymandered to comply with width and area requirements. Although this could be resolved by extending the cul-de-sac, such a solution is considered too drastic and not worth either the expense or the additional site alteration. Still, it is possible to modify the lot line to lessen the effect of the jogged line and increase the buildable area of Lot 3. Exhibit C shows an alternative lot line arrangement. c. Tree Preservation. As can be seen on the attached exhibits, the subject property is substantially wooded. Construction of the street and eventually construction of the homes will necessitate some tree removal. The applicant must submit a tree preservation and reforestation plan pursuant to Shorewood's Tree Preservation Policy. Before this plan can be prepared, a detemmination on the road location must be made. Drainage. Perhaps the most significant issue with respect to this property is drainage. The site drops to a low spot which appears to be the lowest elevation in the immediate vicinity. The City Engineer has expressed concerns that this low area may not have a positive outlet. This issue will be elaborated upon in the City Engineer's report. The applicant is also advised to contact the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District for their requirements with respect to retention ponding and NURP design. Drainage and utility easements, 10 feet wide on each side of rear and side lot lines should be shown on the plat. Easements for ponding and access to the ponding will also be required. Subdivision Information. Some minor details are missing from the plat: 1) the proposed name of the street, 2) Block 1; and 3) the source of the topographic infommation. Due to the drainage concerns raised herein, it is critical that the topography be surveyed. Park Dedication Fees and Sewer Access Charges. Assuming three lots can ultimately be achieved, the applicant will have to pay the following prior to release of a final plat: D. E. F. . Local sanitary sewer access charges: $1000 each for two of the lots* . Park dedication fees: $1000 each for two of the lots* *Credit is given for the existing house 2 . . Memorandum Ironwood Hills Preliminary Plat 27 March 1997 RECOMMENDATION Although the proposed plat complies with technical requirements for lot size, the issues raised herein must be resolved prior to approval of the plat. Much depends upon the City Engineer's detemmination on the proposed location of the road. Based upon the Engineer's recommendations, the applicant should submit a tree preservation and reforestation plan. Until these issues are addressed, it is recommended that the applicant's plan be tabled. cc: Jim Humm Larry Brown John Dean Don Christensen 3 5 (j i) \ " . ~~ ~ ~~(54) ...

'5755 Couniry Club Lane .Shorewood, MN 55331' : Dear City Of Shorewood: I [We are theineighbors directly to the south of the proposed subdivision on Suburban i Drive in Shorewood. We mov ad here 3 years ago, and were excited about finding a ;neighborhqoo with'the personality and characteristics that were (and still are) important ito us. It has come to our attention that a new subdivision is being contemplated. We : believe this will change the landscape and the feel of the neighborhood, and are concerned about the citY's involvement (or lack thereof) in preserving our community. It is not just a loss of the character that concerns us, however. We also have some !practical concerns: 11. Wflti a new- road being proposed, will that set a new standard as far as road width is concerned? Will Suburban Drive need to be widened to accomodate it? The'proposed new road is where Suburban Drive narrows. :2. i The: new road (cul-de-sac) will be paid for by whom? At what loss of trees and natUral areas? Does it matter that a cul.de-sac in this neighborhood is grossly out of place? This is a very natural, wooded area. We would like it to stay that way: 13. ! The/speed iimit on Suburban Drive is 20 MPH, decreasing to 15 by the proposed subdivi$ion. The proposed road is in a blind spot The speed limit is not now enforced very stringently (although we believe it should be). Will this necessitate the addition of a stop sign at Idlewild? That would mean traffic would stop and start right in front of our house, which is something else we defirilitely do not want. ~. I With 3 new:houses being proposed, will there be three new wens, or is this SUb~ivisionexpecting city water? A lot of the people in this neighborhood are opposed to -city water. I 03-24-1997 10:56AM PAUL,S SHIPPING & FAX 6029820741 P.02 i 5. How will the natural areas be preserved? Will there be any restrictions pertaining to where and how much you can change the topography? How will these restriCtions be enforced and by whom? We have a .situation on the other (south) side of our property where the previous owr/er decided to fill the low areas on their property. Even though the City was maqe aware of ~is activity, it did nothing to stop the many truckloads of fill pladed into this natural water~collecting area, and now that it's done it can't be undone. Subisequeritly, lalSt spring they had an excess of water, which they pumped out, against our, expr~ssed desire to that owner, and which went directly onto our prop,erty. Coincidentally (or not), the property that provides drainage to our rear (Am;esbury) plugged the culvert that is in the rear of OUf property. As a result, the Standing water on our property was ankle deep. Again, when we asked the City!to stop the pi:Jmping and to re.open the culvert, no action was taken. . . . Therefore, if the low areas on the north side of us (the proposed subdivision) als~ are filled in, we would then also take all of the water from the 3 proposed lots as well; Right now, this is a natural, wooded area with adequate drainage. HoW will the City guarantee that this drainage be preserved? We afe apprehensive about this happening yet again, and we are frustrated about our lack! of ability to stop it once it starts to happen. :6. As we understand it, this property is already two lots (approximately 1.2 acres and ,.8 acres), wttrI two separate driveways. The propoal for three lots makes the~ approximat~ly .60 acres, .70 acres and .46 acres. 'M1y make it into three lots? 'My try to establish a "house farm" manufactured look in an established, woo(JSY, natural community? The existing lots, without the addition of ~ new road, seem more in keeping with the norm for Minnetonka Manor that do the proposed lots. . :We look forWard to' receiving some answers to these questions, as well as to rarticipating in any discussion regarding the approval of this subdivision. ! j ~incereIY, I 1r5~ ~ Ii' rmothy D. fmith and USa G.

DATE: RE: Ironwood Hills - Preliminary Plat The subject parcel is 2.02 acres located at 4905 Suburban Drive (refer to Exlnbit A). Existing Site Conditions: The existing topography varies from approximately 1004 at or near the existing home in the northwest comer of the property to 986 at the low point immediately east of the intersection of Idlewild Path and Suburban Drive. This site is heavily wooded with mature oak and maple trees throughout the site. . The subject property is bounded by Amesbury Development to the east, the 66 foot public right of way of Suburban Drive to the west, a single family home located to the south, and a vacant property to the north. Proposed Right of Way: The applicant proposes to subdivide the property into three lots with a proposed cul-de-sac within the northwest quadrant of the property. The proposed right of way is 50 feet with a 50 foot radius for the cul-de-sac. This is in accordance with the current subdivision code. The location of the proposed right of way at the northwest quadrant of the site creates a severe site distance problem. Northbound traffic on Suburban Drive has approximately 55 feet of sight distance to the entrance, which is unacceptable. As a minimum 150 feet of sight distance would normally be provided for the 20 mile per hour posted speed limit for this area. The proposed location does not meet the minimum requirements. It is recommended that the cul-de-sac be moved to the southwest quadrant of the property directly in line with the right of way for Idlewild Path (refer to Exhibit B). This location not only increases the sight distance, but intersects Suburban Drive at an existing intersection. This is desirable since residents from the area already anticipate that a car may be in the intersection as they travel in a southbound direction on Suburban Drive. A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore . ... Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council Preliminary Plat Review - Ironwood Hills April 1, 1997 Page 2 of2 Sanitary Sewer and Watermain: Sanitary sewer is available within the public right of way of Suburban Drive. It is anticipated that a manhole will need to be set over the existing sanitary sewer line within the existing right of way, with a 9 inch lateral being extended from this manhole to the center of the proposed cul-de-sac. . Municipal water service is not immediately available to the site within the public right of way of Suburban Drive. The nearest existing water service is within the Amesbury Subdivision. Due to the varying topography which separates the two subdivisions, it is unfeasible to provide a connection to municipal water service for this subdivision. Therefore private wells will need to be utilized. Grading and Drainage: The drainage for this site is probably the most challenging aspect of the proposed site. Currently, drainage for the site pockets in the low area immediately east of the intersection of Idle wild Path and Suburban Drive. There is no known outlet for this area. It may be that the area has tile lines which currently drain the area. However, this can not be depended upon for the additional runoff generated by the proposed increase in hard cover surface. Recommendations: . There are a number of drainage related problems in the immediate area that have the potential of being impacted by an increase in the amount of runoff generated from this site. Therefore it is recommended that this preliminary plat be tabled until such time as the storm water issues and the location of the roadway be addressed. ~ ~(54) " :- Z~ -;. . I . I I I ..'

TO: FROM: DAlE: RE: FILE NO.: Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council Brad Nielsen 19 June 1997 Christmas Lake Point - Lot Line Rearrangements 405 (97.19) BACKGROUND . Dr. Charles Oberg, representing himself and three other property owners on Christmas Lake Point, has requested approval to rearrange the lot lines between their respective properties. The subject sites are located at 5590, 5595, 5625 and 5635 Christmas Lake Point (see Site Location map- Exhibit A, attached). All of the lots are zoned R-lC/S, Single-Family Residential/Shoreland, and all are occupied by existing homes. The proposed rearrangements are shown on Exhibit B, attached. Proposed lot lines are shown in heavy dashed lines, and existing property lines are shown in lighter dashed lines. It should be noted that Christmas Lake Point is an existing private road serving 15 properties. ANAL YSIS/RECOMMENDATION The reason for the proposed lot line rearrangement is to clean up some of the existing lot configurations and make the existing boundaries of the lots conform better with the existing improvements on the lots. All of the proposed lots meet or exceed the minimum lot area for the R-1C/S zoning district. Following are the proposed lot sizes: Tract A: 28,827 square feet Tract B: 46,344 square feet Tract C: 34,913 square feet Tract D: 50,073 square feet With the exception of Tract C, all lots comply with the width requirements of the R-IC/S district. It should be noted, however, that the rearrangement improves the width of Tract C. Following are the improvements brought on by the applicants' proposed rearrangement: A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore (pPJ . . Memo Re: Christmas Lake Point Rearrangement 19 June 1997 page 2 1 . The width of Tract A is improved and the land in front of the owner's house will now belong to his lot. 2. Tract B is enlarged and the existing driveway will not cross over his neighbor's property. 3 . The lot line between Tract C and D is straightened out somewhat so that the house on Tract C is not looking over the property ofD, reducing the effect of the gerrymandered lot lines. Also, the driveway for Tract C no longer crosses over the property of Tract A. 4. Two tiny parcels (Tracts H and G) will now be combined with adjacent lots. The applicants are to be commended for their efforts to resolve their boundary line issues. Cooperation such as this between four property owners is seldom accomplished. It is recommended that the proposed rearrangement be approved as presented. cc: Jim Hurm Larry Brown John Dean Charles Oberg 'i/'~ .. A !: ~ " ... (30 l Subject . 111 =200. I I c..h r-i sf I'\. tl.

At that time it was mentioned that Mr. Greer would soon apply to resubdivide the larger parcel with an existing house on it into two lots, as shown on Exhibit B. The property is zoned R-1C, Single-Family Residential and contains 58,387 square feet of area (1.34 acres). The site is occupied by an existing house and a stable building. The two lots will contain 28,990 and 29,397 square feet respectively. . ANAL YSIS/RECOMMENDATION The proposed lots meet or exceed the minimum requirements of the R-l C zoning district. Both lots are over 100 feet in width and both are well over the 20,000 square-foot lot area requirement. It is recommended that the subdivision request be approved subject to the following requirements: 1. The applicant must provide a title opinion or title commitment (up-to-date within thirty days) for review by the City Attorney. 2. The applicant's surveyor must provide legal descriptions for drainage and utility easements, 10 feet on each side of side and rear lot lines. From these legal descriptions his attorney must prepare easements in favor of the City. 3 . The stable must either be moved on to the lot with the house on it or be removed. If this can not be done prior to the applicant's receipt of the resolution approving the division, an escrow must be provided, guaranteeing removal of the building within six months. A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore ~ . . Memo Re: Greer Subdivision 18 June 1997 page two 4. Prior to release of the resolution approving the division the applicant must pay the following fees: a. Park dedication: $1000 for the new lot. b. Sanitary sewer access: $1000 for the new lot. Note that due to recent consensus on the Council that lots where city water is not available should not be charged, a water assessment agreement has not been recommended. 5. Items 1-3 above must be completed within 30 days, after which a resolution will be prepared for Council approval. 6. Once the applicant has received the Council resolution approving the request, he must record it with Hennepin County within 30 days. cc: Jim Hurm John Dean Larry Brown Mike Greer i6 i I I (31) : (Z1) , -iO--r3i---~Z6- 1&5 ( 29) y; ...,../ V I / ~- -- ..--- . . . .' ,.. . ........,,: 4\&.~ ... ...., '-~--.:------ ...........::::: (20) - (2): ------- J -----if~--:=l~...... .. ...............;---"1................

JUL-24-1997 13:02 CITY OF EXCELSIOR 612 474 6300 P.0S must be provided which will be reimbursed at 80% by the Federal Highway Administration (FHW A) as work is completed. This has a direct bearing on the conditions under which certain applicants are eligtble. Mn/DOT - If a project has a direct relationship to a trunk highway and MnIDOT is letting the project., then normal MnlDOT letting procedures are followed and the State Trunk. Highway Trust Fund is used to provide up-front financing. OTHER STATE AGENCIES - If another state agency is responsible for the project, an agreement is written between MnlDOT and the other state agency and the project is administered by the State Aid for Local Tr.msportation Division (SALT). The state agency is responsible for providing up-front financing through SALT as provided by law. FEDERAL AGENCIES or TRIBAL GOVERNMENI"S - Federal agencies or tribal governments are eligible for enhancement funds under the same conditions as other state agencies. ;> CITIES OVER 5,000 or COUNTIES - If a city of over 5.000 population or a county is responsible for a project. the project is administered by SAL l' and the State Aid Account is used to provide up-front financing. CITIES UNDER 5,000 or PRIVATE GROUPS - Only formal recipients of state aid are permitted to use the State Aid, Account for up-front financing of federal aid highway projects. A city under 5,000 or private group must fmd an eligible sponsor (a state agency, county, or city over 5,000) or provide up-front:financing for a federal aid project. These types of projects would still be administered by SALT. 5. The proposer must assure it will operate and maintain the property and facility of the project for the useful life of the improvement, and not change the use of any right-of-way acquired without prior approval from the Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration. The FHW A requires that states agree to opetate and maintain facilities constructed with federal transportation funds for the useful life of the improvement, and not change the use of any right- of-way acquired without prior approval from the FHW A. TAB has determined that this requirement will be applied to the project proposer. FHW A considers most physical constructions and total reconstructions to have a useful design life of 10 years or more. depending on the aa1Ure of the project. Bridge constructions and total n:construc:tions are considered to have useful lives of 50 years. The useful life of the project will be defined in the inter-agency maintenance agreement that must be prepared and signed prior to the project letting. Projects must have an estimated total cost of at least $125,000 There are significant federal project processing requirements that come with federal funds. These requirements translate into expenditures of time and money on the parts of both the agency proposing/developing the project and the state agency administering the federal funds for the project. Project proposers can "bundle" projects together to meet this minimum. (Example; bundled projects could consist of signing and lighting a number of bike trails in several counties.) Communities may want to consider using joint powers agreements for implementing bundled projects. 7. TAB will not provide more than $700,000 in TEP funds for a specific project. The amount of federal TEP funds cannot be less than 50% of the total project cost. 6: <a TOTAL P.05 07.21.97 CC Mtg Agenda Items 8a, 8b Resolution for Submission of ISTEA Grants July 17, 1997 City Council Craig W. Dawson, City Manager The City Council came to a consensus decision committing the City to explore a multi-faceted redevelopment proposal with the Excelsior Park Properties and the Minnesota Transportation Museum. All parties have signed the agreement. Representatives of the parties have also agreed that an application should be made for the next round of federal Intennodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act grants. It seemed most appropriate that the City of Excelsior should be the applicant for these grants. . The maximum available for a single grant is $700,000. Each requires a local match of at least 20 per . cent of project costs, and the match can be made in cash or in a number of non-monetary ways. Grant applications are due by Monday, July 28. Work on cost estimates for each of the two grants under consideration is in progress; final estimates will, of course, be included in the grant applications. A resolution authorizing submission of each grant application is appropriate. Agenda Item Sa--Streetcar Line Loop The Minnesota Transportation Museum (MTM) is constructing a streetcar line on the Southwest LRT Regional Trail between Excelsior Boulevard and Water Street. Proposed is construction of a loop for the streetcar line--from the LRT Trail at Excelsior Boulevard southwest to Lake Street, northeast to Water Street, and southwest to the LRT Trail at Water Street. The rails would be placed in public streets and serve the Excelsior Park property as well. . Agenda Item Sb--Intermodal Transportation Building The concept for the redevelopment of the Excelsior Park properties includes an attached building which would serve as a streetcar station; a working storage, maintenance, and display area for the Minnehaha steamboat streetcar; and a service/display area for the MTM. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Council adopt the proposed resolutions authorizing submission of applications for ISTEA grants for the Streetcar project (Agenda Item 8a) and the Intermodal Transportation Building (Agenda Item 8b).

Check All Five Mayor, and City Manager Page 1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Minnesota Transportation Museum has been awarded an ISTEA grant to build approximately % mile of streetcar track in Excelsior running along the former railroad bed currently owned by the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority and a streetcar storage building adjoining the track. It runs between Water Street on the South and Excelsior Boulevard on the East, which is generally at the back of the houses and businesses bordering the track. This track and storage building is being constructed in the summer of 1997 with completion scheduled by October 1997. The Museum is in the process of renovating historic streetcars, which are in their possession, for operation on this line. This new project will complete the current route of the line by connecting the two ends. with each other and making a complete circle in the downtown section of the City of Excelsior. Beginning with the current streetcar stop at the . intersection of Water Street and the streetcar track, (which is where the Excelsior Lake Minnetonka Historical Society Museum and the Regional Transportation District Park and Ride is located), the new track will run down the center of Water Street (which is the main downtown street bordered by historic commercial buildings) and to its stop at the historic Port of Excelsior on Lake Minnetonka. That is where the Public Docks are located and where over 15 Lake Minnetonka commercial cruise ships dock for passenger boarding. From there the track will run easterly along Lake Street parallel to the shore of Lal<e Minnetonka to the intersection of Excelsior Boulevard. Continuing on Excelsior Boulevard, it will stop at the combined transfer facility for the streetcar and the Steamboat Minnehaha. This facility will be a reestablishment of the historic transfer which made this area famous at the Turn of the Century, and within it passengers will easily transfer to the Steamboat for a trip to points on Lake Minnetonka. From . there, the track will connect with the existing track at its intersection with Excelsior Boulevard. This project includes all tracking, switching, electrical wiring, and other facilities such that the streetcar will be able to operate down the center of the City just as it did historically. It will greatly enhance the appeal of an historic experience which is already exists in Excelsior. It will provide riders with intermodal experience at three different locations, and with the ability to see streetcars operating along with pedestrian, automobile, bicycle, boat, and other transportation mediums in an historic city which has preserved its architectural past. It will allow operation on City streets in exactly the same manner that streetcars historically did. Page 2 i -I'~""""_....,, I/""'If'" J.. ..'. "'r A 1~/"/)* .......

EXTENT TO WHICH THE.PROJECT HAS A DIRECT RELATIONSHIP TO THE INTERMODAL OR MULTI MODAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. 1. 150 Points. How it functions as a component or enhancement of the transportation system. The completion of the Excelsior streetcar line to be a full and complete circle operating down the main streets of Excelsior, will greatly enhance and facilitate transportation in Excelsior by bringing together the two busin~ss nodes of the city. One business is Water Street, the other is Excelsior Boulevard. The completed circle streetcar line will be a valuable component of local transportation allowing easy movement between downtown Excelsior shops and restaurants, Excelsior Commons Park, The Port of Excelsior, the Aaahhz Convention Center and proposed convention hotel, the 1906 Steamboat Minnehaha Landing, the Excelsior Lake Minnetonka Historical Society and Lyman Park. The completed streetcar line will ease congested parking by allowing individuals to park for easy streetcar pickup in Excelsior City lots, outlying streets, and a property which I s in the process of being acquired by the museum for parking. Transportation will be clean and comfortable, even in inclement weather. 1907 streetcar #1239 is being restored to operate on the Excelsior Streetcar Line. Streetcar and trolleys operated year around during their hey-day. It would be our intention to enter into an agreement with Excelsior or the Chamber of Commerce to provide service on summer weekdays. Volunteers will operate on weekends and holidays. Winter holiday operation is possible. The Excelsior Streetcar will enhance the enjoyment and movement of people throughout the city. 2. 0-125 Points How the project will have a beneficial impact on the transportation system. The Excelsior Streetcar Line will have a beneficial impact on MTC Bus Line passengers because it interconnects to allow easy transfer for those who arrive without access to automobile transportation. Bus riders will benefit from having access to restaurants and shops, parks and recreation and education facilities, perhaps more easily than those who choose to drive. Persons driving to Excelsior will benefit because they will be able to park farther out where parking may be considerably easier, take a short walk to the Excelsior Streetcar and easily ride to stores, restaurants, the Minnehaha or Aaahhz Convention Center. Residents of the South Shore Senior Residence which is located on the Excelsior Streetcar line will benefit because they generally do not have cars, and will enjoy easy transportation to many Excelsior locations. South Shore Senior Center members who are often bused to shopping and entertainment will Page 5 . . benefit by being able to travel Excelsior on the streetcar and trolley. Hundreds of people bike and take the Hennepin County Regional Park Trail that parallels the Excelsior Streetcar Line for one half mile through Excelsior. Many of these hikers and bikers will benefit when they choose to stop to ride the streetcar and many interesting sights and sounds of Excelsior. About twenty cruise and charter boats stop at the Port of Excelsior. Passengers arriving in or departing from Excelsior may benefit by taking advantage of the fun and easy streetcar ride to and from the Port. Only seven cities in the world had boating extensions to their land based streetcar systems. To our knowledge Excelsior will have the only restored and operating intermodal system. The streetcar would operate at 20 minute intervals. the restored 1906 Steamboat Minnehaha departs for Wayzata t 9 A.M., Noon, 3 & 6 P.M. Passengers will benefit from easily transferring from streetcar to streetcar boat. . It would be possible for someone to leave their auto at a park and ride, take the bus to Excelsior, hike the Hennepin County Parks Trail, rent a bicycle, ride the streetcar, take the Minnehaha and end the day with a dinner cruise. Excelsior will offer extraordinary multi modal opportunities. 3. 0-100 points. Proximity tO'the following: A. Principal and Minor arteries The Excelsior Streetcar Line will have a beneficial impact on State Highway 7 as it is adjacent to and easily seen from Highway 7. It should add great interest to the Highway 7 drive. Highway 7 users will enjoy easy exit to the Excelsior Streetcar and other amenities. It is also close to County Road 19. It will traverse highly traveled Excelsior Boulevard and Water Street. B. Public transit routes, hubs and terminals MTC buses and the streetcar have stops in common for easy transfer between bus and streetcar in Excelsior. South Shore Senior Center buses can easily meet the Excelsior Streetcar Line at several points. The streetcar will pass by and stop at Excelsior city parking lots. The streetcar will serve both the Aaahhz Convention Center hub and the Downtown Excelsior hub. . C. Ports and intermodal terminals The Excelsior Streetcar line will have several major intermodal terminals. the Steamboat Minnehaha Landing will allow transfer between the streetcar and the streetcar boat for continuation of the passengers journey. Many Lake Minnetonka cruise boats and the Steamboat Minnehaha board and depart passengers the Port of Excelsior. We anticipate many passengers will leave their cars at the downtown lots or the Aaahhz parking lots to board the Excelsior Streetcar Line. D. Proximity to bil<eways and pedestrian facilities The Excelsior Streetcar Line shares the former Minneapolis and St. Louis right of way with the Hennepin County Parks walking and biking trails for a half mile through Excelsior. The streetcar will travel along Lake Street and Water Street which are popular walking and shopping streets in Excelsior. Popular pedestrian facilities along the route are the Minnehaha Steamboat Landing, Page 6 Aaahhz Convention Center, Excelsior Park Restaurant, Port of Excelsior, downtown Excelsior, Excelsior Lake Minnetonka Historical Society and the proposed Lake Minnetonka History Center. E. Population concentrations likely to use or benefit from the project We believe the Excelsior Streetcar Line, the Steamboat Minnehaha, the Aaahhz Convention Center and Excelsior's many other attractions will make Excelsior a destination for visitors from the entire Upper Midwest and most certainly from the State of Minnesota. We see tourists from Duluth and Rochester making over night trips to Excelsior. Minneapolis and S1. Paul residents will enjoy day trips. Many people may choose to visit for an enjoyable dinner and evening at Lake Minnetonka. Page 7 . . . B. PROJECT COMPONENTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN FUNDED AND/OR IMPLEMENTED FROM OTHER FUNDING SOURCES. 1. 0-150 Points The Excelsior Streetcar is missing its key and final element. The 1993 ISTEA offering funded the first half mile of the Excelsior Streetcar line which is now being completed. The present line is a component which interconnects downtown Excelsior with the restored 1906 Streetcar Steamboat Minnehaha recreates the intermodal transfer from streetcar to streetcar steamboat as it existed in 1906. Reliving this real life experience of our great grandparents is a significant educational experience into our history and heritage for young and old. The system can and will be greatly enhanced by its second component, the completion of its Northern half, a key and final element, to become a full circle operating line, operating through the heart of Excelsior. . The total ISTEA project investment for the first one half mile track and storage and maintenance building component was $492,000. $39.100 and the services of Ken Stevens and Larry O'Dell as Project Sponsors, and was given by Hennepin County. Hennepin County engineers Dave Feltel and Bob Grover oversaw the installation. Webster Industries provided approximately $50,000 in wooden, treated streetcar railroad ties. Bell Pole Company provided poles to support the overhead streetcar power line at a value of approximately $10,000. The Project Volunteer Coordinator, Leo Meloche, has given over 5,000 hours over the fours years from application through construction. Other volunteers have given thousands of hours in moving and restoring the trolleys. The ,Minnesota Transportation Museum paid $59.260 provided by community gifts as the 20% ISTEA funding match. MTM also paid over $50,000 for planning, design. engineering. This funding was also provided to MTM through fund raising events and community gifts. The complete circle streetcar line will fill the gap. It will provide overwhelming synergistic enhancement to the half line currently being put in place. It will allow passengers much greater freedom of movement. It will allow choices and opportunities that cannot be achieved without the complete circle. The complete circle will allow stops at over a dozen interesting locations and interconnections to many move. The tracks laid to complete the circle will cover a route on which streetcars operated in Excelsior from 1906 until 1932 so it will complete the restoration of a historic site that was not done originally due to funding constraints. . The full circle streetcar fits into a larger general concept being considered by the City of Excelsior and MTM. That concept envisions MTM acquiring additional parking area and Excelsior creating a tax increment financing district including a hotel and a community building to house a history center and other community functions. The combination of these enhancements could make Excelsior an exciting destination city for a large Upper Midwest area. C. DEGREE TO WHICH THE PROJECT ADDRESSES ISSUES AND NEEDS IN THE THREE GROUPINGS FOR THE REGIONS PROCESS 300 POINTS 1,0-100 POINTS, HISTORIC GROUPING Page 8 ..J .. Twin City Rapid Transit Company 1907 Streetcar #1239 will be restored to again operate on former right of ways in Historic Excelsior. The authentically preserved inter-urban electric streetcar that may well have served on the streets of Excelsior in the early 1900's will build the charm of the period buildings which line Water Street, the main street of Excelsior. It will stop at the proposed Lake Minnetonka History Center if that plan comes to fruition. A stop will also be made at the Excelsior Lake Minnetonka Historical Society building which is an original depot. The synergism between the City of Excelsior and these history centered offerings should provide a complete and wonderful adventure into the past! 2,0-100 POINTS, SCENIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPING Passengers will see and enjoy the beauty of Lake Minnetonka! The Excelsior Streetcar will follow the shore of beautiful. Lake Minnetonka's Excelsior Bay for over one quarter mile as it travels Excelsior boulevard and Lake Street to its stop at the Port of Excelsior and Excelsior Commons. Along the way they will enjoy the many gardens maintained by the Excelsior Men's Garden Club, the historically restored store fronts along Water Street, the old and beautiful Lyman Park Gardens. Environmentally, streetcars are clean, non-polluting public transportation. They are electrically . powered and do not create exhaust gases or smells. They are quiet with the exception of their quaint bells. 3,0-100 POINT, PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE FACILITIES The original component half of the Excelsior Streetcar Line shares the Hennepin County Regional Railroad right of way through Excelsior with the pedestrian and bicycle path. the two Run Parallel for the half mile from Water Street to Excelsior Boulevard MnDOT is building a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge just one block from the proposed full circle streetcar line. Hundreds of pedestrians and bicyclists use the trial each summer. The new full circle Excelsior Streetcar Line is sure to draw many, many more for the opportunity for an intermodal bicycle, hiking, streetcar and streetcar steamboat riding day! Tired pedestrians may choose to finish their tour by streetcar. bicyclists should be encouraged to make Excelsior a destination with the many opportunities for fun and learning. D. PROJECTS WHICH DEMONSTRATE MORE THAN LOCAL BENEFIT . 1.0-150 POINTS The streetcar steamboat Minnehaha has been operating from Excelsior.to Wayzata on Lal<e Minnetonka since May of 1996. Since that time over 18,000 people have enjoyed learning of our history through a thrilling steamboat ride on beautiful Lake Minnetonka. These passengers have come from almost every state in the United States, and many from Europe and Asia and other areas of the world. The streetcar/steamboat combination is going to be even more rare and unique - one of only a very few in the world! You can be sure that it will draw from a very wide population! Current thinking is that perhaps 85% of our passengers will come from the seven county Twin City area, 10$ from out state Minnesota, 4% from other states and 1 % from out of the country. We anticipate that many people will only ride the streetcar because they may be only interested in transportation around Excelsior or may not have time to take the steamboat trip. Page 9 . . .'
