C.U.P TO CONSTRUCT A SINGLE - FAMILY DWELLING ON A SUBSTANDARD
LOT IN THE SHORELAND DISTRICT AND SETBACK VARIANCE (Tabled from
September 5, 1995)
Applicant: Mark Haymaker
Location: 4300 Enchanted Drive
Chair Borkon announced the case. Nielsen reported he had met with Mr. Haymaker and
his architect subsequent to the September 5, 1995 Planning Commission meeting to discuss
how this home could be located within the constraints of current regulations, C.U.P.
regulations and the Tree Preservation Policy. Nielsen indicated he suggested Mr. Haymaker
situate the home within the following cor&mes: 41.5 foot setback from Lake Minnetonka,
.� which is the average setback established by the two adjoining homes, on the south side using
the dripline of the stand of three oak trees and the row of pine trees, on the front side far
enough back so as to allow a 20 foot parking space in front of the garage without extending
into the street right -of -way, and the northeast side using the dripline of vegetation growing
along the property line. Mr. Haymaker has since submitted a plan which conforms to these
parameters. Nielsen indicated staff is recommending approval of the C.U.P. and setback
variance request subject to installation of construction fencing along the dripline of the trees
and at a setback of 20 feet from the shoreline prior to the start of any site work and the
excavation near the oak trees shall be cut in so as to sever any roots as cleanly as possible.
Nielsen reported Mr. Haymaker has submitted a conceptual landscape plan but is intending
to hire a landscape architect. Nielsen stated he intended to confer with the landscape

architect for advice as to any other methods that could be employed to further protect the
trees.
Chair Borkon outlined the procedure for a public hearing and opened the public hearing at
7:15 p.m.
Ernest Marciniak, 4325 Enchanted Drive, asked if there would be changes made to the
perimeter of the cul -de -sac or to the ten foot easement for the dry hydrant. Nielsen
indicated there would be a curb cut for the driveway and the City of Shorewood does allow
the driveway to cross the right -of -way. Nielsen stated this will not affect the access to the
dry hydrant easement.
Carl Sheely, 4320 Enchanted Drive, indicated he wanted to be assured the easement to the
dry hydrant had been properly recorded. He also inquired as to where the snow from the
driveway would be located now as there would no longer be a vacant lot on the cul -de -sac.
Chair Borkon closed the public hearing at 7:19 p.m. •
Nielsen explained the City of Shorewood owns the land the cul -de -sac is built on and a
certain amount of property around the cul -de -sac called "right -of- way ". The owner's property
line goes up to the right -of -way. It is however necessary for the City to allow the driveway
to cross the right -of -way area in many cases. He explained in the case of an easement, the
City has an interest in the property but no ownership. The interest is for a specific purpose,
which in this case is a water line for the dry hydrant which extends into the lake. The
proposed house at 4300 Enchanted Drive will not block the City's access to maintain or use
the dry hydrant. Nielsen stated there were three property owners involved with the
easement in question.
Commissioner Rosenberger asked if the easement had been recorded. Nielsen indicated he
would verify they were recorded.
Mr. Marciniak indicated he was confused as to the width of the easement. He questioned
if it was ten or twelve feet. Nielsen stated he would clarify the width of the easement. 40
Nielsen explained the snow had been placed on the vacant land but will now be placed
wherever there is room within the public right -of -way.
Mrs. Sheely, 4320 Enchanted Drive indicated one of their driveways had been blocked by
snow from the snowplows last winter. Chair Borkon suggested. Mrs. Sheely contact the Cit
Utility Department or Jim Hurm if she experiences further difficulties.
In response to Commissioner Lizee, Nielsen reported this proposal would have 239o' hard
cover surface.

Commissioner Kolstad complimented Mr. Haymaker for arriving at a solution that would
work for everyone.
Commissioner Rosenberger complimented Mr. Haymaker for turning this around as quickly
as he had and also Mr. Nielsen for availing himself to resolve this item.
Turgeon moved, Foust seconded to recommend the Council approve the C.U.P. to construct
a single - family dwelling on a substandard lot in the shoreland district and setback variance
for Marls Haymaker, 4300 Enchanted Drive subject to staff recommendations and
clarification of the easement width as noted and verification the easement has been
recorded. Motion passed 6/0.
There was direction for staff to notify the residents involved with the easement when the
information was received.
Mr. Haymaker stated he was in favor of keeping all the mature trees on the site.
The Council will consider the recommendation at its September 25, 1995 meeting.
2. REVIEW TREE PRESERVATION POLICY / ORDINANCE
Nielsen outlined the changes that had been made to the third draft of the tree preservation
and replacement policy. He indicated there had been substantial changes to the purpose
statement on page 1. There was Commission consensus that the purpose statement did
convey the intended message. Nielsen indicated the nest substantial change was on page 3,
section IV.B.b. This statement now reflects that the tree preservation and replacement
policy pertains to the construction of anew principle building only.
Commissioner Kolstad stated she did not agree with this change and wanted some wording
to be added which would apply standards or caution when any changes are made on a
property.
Commissioner Turgeon indicated if this were the case, residents may feel their rights were
being tread upon.
Nielsen stated there must be 'a balance. He reminded the initial intent of the policy had
been to have a devise to educate builders. He indicated a home owner will usually move
a garage over a bit rather than remove a tree. Most homeowners appreciated the trees and
it is also very costly to remove trees.
Commission Kolstad asked if the Commission had the authority to require someone who is
building a garage to replace a tree they remove. Nielsen indicated the Commission only had
that right if the homeowner was requesting a variance or a conditional use permit. The
statutes then give the City the authority to impose reasonable requests on the property
owner.

Commissioner Kolstad stated she did not feel the policy for existing properties should be as
strict as the policy for new buildings but felt it should be addressed.
Chair Borkon stated she understood Commissioner Kolstad's concern but indicated she was
concerned that the policy could already be too restrictive. She questioned if there would be
a way to request someone coming in with an application to take the trees into consideration.
Nielsen stated if a person made application to build a garage, the City has no input at all.
If there was a variance request or a conditional use permit request with the garage, the City
would then have input. He agreed with the concern for the potential of over restriction.
He stated he was not sure the initial intention of the policy or the intention of the
comprehensive plan was to save every individual tree. He indicated the policy was
appropriate for initial development of land and construction of the initial house but after
that point the property owner's rights take over.
Commissioner Rosenberger stated he agreed with Commissioner Kolstad. He felt if the
policy was appropriate for primary buildings it was also appropriate for secondary buildings.
He stated the Commission had made the decision to create this policy because trees are very
important to the character of the neighborhood. In that case public policy is more
important than public rights. He suggested the policy should be more restrictive.
Commissioner Lizee stated she felt the policy should not be more restrictive.
Commissioner Foust stated the City of Shorewood did not have a problem with wide scale
clear cutting. He asked what percentage of the City was left for new development. Nielsen
indicated the City of Shorewood was 90 % developed. He questioned the need of the policy
for 10% of the land. He stated he was not in favor of taking individual property owners
rights on removing a tree to put in a shed or removing one or two trees to erect a garage.
Commissioner Turgeon stated if a property owner does not require a variance he should be
able to use his property as he likes. It is his property.
Nielsen stated in the past he has frequently received a variance request so a tree could be
saved. At times it has been more appropriate to remove the tree than to grant the variance.
He suggested removal of one tree would not necessarily damage the wooded character of
the area.
Commissioner Kolstad stated it was important to have something in place for existing
property. She indicated residents do feel it is important to save the tress in their
neighborhood.
Nielsen clarified even though the City was 90% developed, there were still a number of lots
that haven't been subdivided that this ordinance will apply to.

Commissioner Borkon stated she felt if the policy pertained to existing property it would be
an encroachment of her personal rights of her property. She added a person comes to the
Planning Commission when something is going to be different in the future and all the pros
and cons are taken into consideration. Once the structure is built the ownership is more
yours that when you were discussing it with the City. There are more private rights involved.
Now you are no longer talking about what a person can do in their backyard but what a
person can do immediately out their door.
Commissioner Turgeon stated the City has no policy currently. She felt the Commission
could not take giant steps in something that adds restrictions. She suggested this policy
would not be set in granite and could be changed if needed.
Chair Borkon stated this policy is geared to the community and the way they would like the
City's mode of development. She stated she was outraged at the idea of considering this
policy for existing properties.
Nielsen continued through the body of the Tree Preservation and Replacement Policy noting
other small changes which had been made. It was noted in Appendix A, paragraph 4,
"critical root zone" should be replaced with "'protected root zone" to be consistent with the
rest of the document. There was Commission consensus of approval of the changes that had
been made. The Commission returned to their discussion of item 43.b.
Commissioner Kolstad stated she agreed that she did not want to be restricted as to what
she could do on her property but felt that a lot that was done on a property also had an
impact on the neighboring property. She indicated there is a lot of restriction as to where
you can build on the property anyway and she would like to require the trees be taken into
consideration when this is done. She stated she would like some restriction or guidelines
for replacement of trees removed on existing properties.
Chair ]Borkon asked if Nielsen had noted any policy for existing properties in any City's Tree
Preservation Policy. Nielsen stated there was one ordinance which required a permit to
remove a tree over eight inches. Nielsen indicated he felt there could be an enforcement
problem with this type of requirement.
Commissioner Kolstad noted she interpreted the policy infers tree preservation and
replacement is only important in new construction.
Chair Borkon stated the ijuplicetion is that developers coming in to the City may not feel
that trees are important but with the policy in place they will act in a responsible manner.
Nielsen; stated he was not certain a problem existed with existing properties.
Commissioner Roseuberger stated if a policy was to be implemented for new development
it should also be implemented for old development. He suggested that if there were not a
problem with existing buildings, then there should not be a problem with putting it in writing

as part of the policy. He stated the value affixed to a grove of trees was also a value to the
neighborhood and the character of the neighborhood.
Commissioner Kolstad stated she had moved into an older developed area with many trees
which she has watched be destroyed one by one. She expressed concern there was no
education in regard to trees for the residents.
Nielsen suggested a handout explaining tree preservation could be attached to each building
permit.
Turgeon moved, Lizee seconded to recommend the Council adopt the 3rd draft of the Tree
Preservation and Replacement Policy as corrected. Motion passed 4/2. (Commissioners
Kolstad and Rosenberger voted naye).
The Council will consider the recommendation at its September 25, 1995 meeting.
3. DISCUSS PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATES
There was Commission consensus to that Planning Commission meetings will be held on
October 3, October 17, November 21, and December 5, 1995.
4. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR -

issue in the Brenmar Ponding area. Nielsen indicated it had and he would supply it to the
Commission.

STRUCTURE ON A VACANT LOT
Applicant: James McCleary
Location: 5480 Carrie Lane
Chair Borkon announced the case.
Nielsen reported he had received a call from Mr. McCleary indicating he was withdrawing the request for
a variance to allow an accessory structure on a vacant lot.
Commissioner Foust arrived at 7:06 p.m.
There was Commission consensus to address Agenda Item #6 prior to Agenda Item #2.
6. SIMPLE SUBDIVISION
Applicant: Alan Krutsch
Location: 25725 Smithtown Road
Chairman Borkon announced the case. Nielsen indicated in 1990 a simple subdivision was approved for
the property at 25725' Smithtown Road but the owners at that time, did not record the division and the
approval has since expired. The current owner, Mr. Krutsch is now requesting the same subdivision.
This subdivision would divide the property into two lots. One lot has an existing home and the other lot
will be vacant. Both lots meet and exceed the requirements for the R1 -C single family residential district.
The westerly parcel will contain 47,084 square feet of area and the other 23,520 square feet of area. The
difference in size is partly because the original owner wanted to keep the existing trees on the site. The
only changes from the previous recommendation is the amount of the fees. The new lot will be subject to
a $750 park dedication fee, a $1000 sewer charge, a $5000 trunk water charge and the subdivision is
subject to water assessments of $5000 for each lot (one has already been assessed). Nielsen indicated-
staff is recommending approval subject to the recommendations in the original report.
Commissioner Kolstad questioned why one lot had a backyard setback of 40 feet and the other a
backyard setback of 10 feet. Nielsen indicated this was a due to the fact it is a triangular lot and the
setbacks do meet code.

Turgeon moved, Lizee seconded to recommend to the Council that it approve the
simple subdivision for Alan Krutsch, 25725 Smithtown Road subject to staff
recommendations. Motion passed 7/0.
The Council will consider the recommendation at it's September 25, 1995 meeting.
Councilmember Liaison Benson reported a representative of MNDOT had been present at the August 28
City Council meeting to report on the Christmas Lake Road intersection project. He indicated
construction was scheduled for 1996. MNDOT also reported the bridge into Excelsior is in bad repair
and could last for as little as days or up to 10 years and there are no funds available to replace the bridge.
Benson expressed concern regarding the traffic which would be rerouted to Christmas Lake Road if the
bridge failed. He expressed his dissatisfaction that the two projects were not being done together and
indicated he was in receipt of a letter drafted by City Engineer to MNDOT explaining the City's view and
asking MNDOT to contact Benson.
2. 7:15 PUBLIC HEARING - SETBACK VARIANCE / VARIANCE TO
STRUCTURALLY ALTER A NONCONFORMING STRUCTURE
Applicant: John Hunner .
Location: 20625 Radisson Road
Chair Borkon announced the case and outlined the procedure for a public hearing. Nielsen reported Mr.
Hunner owns the property at 20625 Radisson Road which contains a home which does not conform to
the setback requirements of the R -1C /S, Single - Family Residential/Shoreland zoning district. Mr.
Hunner is proposing to remodel the home by replacing the existing flat roof on the house with a gable
roof. Construction of the gable roof will bring the ceiling heights in the upper level of the home into
conformity with code. Mr. Hunner is proposing to turn the gables sideways in order to minimize the
height of the structure and have it resemble the old Radisson Inn. The proposal will not increase the
floor area of the house. Mr. Hunner is also proposing to remove an existing detached garage on the site
and construct a new larger garage. The garage will be moved forward on the site and will create more
yard area between the house and the garage and also make up for lack of storage in the existing home.
The new garage meets all setback requirements and will decrease the hard cover surface, increasing
conformity with City Code. The current driveway encroaches over the property line on the east side of
the lot. The new driveway will correct this non - conformity as it will be contained on the applicants lot.
There is also a fence on the corner of the lot which encroaches over the property line and will need to be
moved onto the owners property. Nielsen indicated staff is recommending approval of the variance with
the conditions that the applicant protect trees during construction and provide a cash escrow or letter of
credit if the proposed garage is built before the other is torn down, to ensure that the improvements are
completed within six months.
Mr. John Hunner provided the Commission with a photograph of the original Radisson Inn. He stated
the purpose of the design of the gable roof was to try to capture some of the old Radisson Inn and to
reduce the visual impact to the neighbors. He stated there is a lift station located on the corner of the lot
with a concrete pad. The fence next to this pad is located on the neighboring property. He indicated
there is some confusion as the survey he and the neighbor, Mr. Gopan, had performed, was completed
by the same surveyor but produced different results.
Chair Borkon opened the public hearing at 7:34 p.m.
Mr. Gene Gopan, 20645 Radisson Road, asked that the issue of the property line be rectified.
Mrs. John Rennie, indicated she lived on the east side of Mr. Hunner and had no objection to the project.
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
September 5, 1995 - PAGE 3
Chair Borkon entered a letter received from Mr. Jo_ hn B. Wrede, 20595 Radisson Road into record.
Chair Borkon closed the public hearing at 7:37 p.m.
Nielsen stated the survey would have to be confirmed. He noted if anything was encroaching onto the
neighboring property, the applicant would be obligated to bring it into confor*niry.
Commissioner Foust asked if the size of the garage could be reduced to lower the amount of hard cover
surface. Nielsen stated this is a small lot and the alteration of the driveway does reduce the amount of
hard cover on the site by approximately 4 %. Commissioner Foust asked if it would be practical to move
the roof back to meet the setback of the lot. Nielsen indicated it would not. He stated if a new structure
was built in the buildable area of the lot, it was likely a retaining wall of some type would have to be built
where the existing structure is now located. In effect, there would have to be some type of structure
located where the existing structure is now. Nielsen indicated the existing structure is very sound and
does fall within the provision of the Zoning Code as the modification does not expand the structure.
Commissioner Turgeon asked if the large tree next to the existing garage would be protected. Nielsen
stated the tree would not likely survive. Commissioner Turgeon inquired as to the size of the garage.
Nielsen indicated the garage will contain 1032 square feet of area. He stated Mr. Hunner is not planning
to park cars in the entire area of the garage but will use a portion of the garage for storage and the new
driveway will not extend the entire width of the garage.
Mr. Hunner indicated the tree in question was a box elder and was not in very good condition. He stated
he would like to remove the tree.
Commissioner Tur asked is Mr. Hunner intended to store the two inoperable vehicles on the
property in the proposed garage. Mr. Hunner indicated he hoped to.
Commissioner Kolstad stated she liked the plan but was concerned with removing the large tree. She
asked if Mr. Hunner would be required to replace the tree. She also stated she would recommend the
hard cover on the lot be brought closer to the shoreland requirements. Nielsen stated the tree replacement
policy would require Mr. Hunner to replace the tree in question with three smaller trees.
Chair Borkon inquired as to the landscaping that would be seen from the road and the design of the
garage. Tom Ellison, Architect, indicated there is a lot of existing landscaping and additional landscaping
had not been discussed. Mr. Hunner stated the garage had been moved closer to the road to attain more
usable lot area and create more lawn. He indicated the garage will be screened from the road with
existing landscaping. He stated the garage will tie in with the architectural character of the house. He
again stated his intent to store the antique cars in the garage.
Commissioner Rosenberger inquired as to City policy regarding the storage of "parts cars" outside.
Nielsen stated they can be stored up to 30 days.
Pisula moved, Rosenberger seconded to recommend to the Council that it approve the
setback variance /variance request to structurally alter a nonconforming structure for
John Hunner, 20625 Radisson Road subject to staff recommendation, resolve of the
issue of the potential encroachment of the fence, the lift station and concrete pad, and
replacement of the large tree in accordance with the tree preservation policy. Motion
passed 7/0.
The Council will consider the recommendation at it's September 25, 1995 meeting.
7:30 PUBLIC HEARING - C.U.P. FOR ACCESSORY SPACE IN EXCESS OF
1200 SQUARE FEET
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
September 5, 1995 - PAGE 4
Applicant: Jim and Julie Simondet
Location: 5390 Shady Hills Circle
Chair Borkon announced the case and outlined the procedure for a public hearing. Nielsen indicated the
Simondets are proposing to build a utility shed on the property located at 5390 Shady Hills Circle. The
property is zoned R -1C, Single - Family Residential and a C.U.P. is required as the new shed will
increase the accessory space to 1358 square feet. The proposal does meet all four criteria required to
grant a C.U.P. He indicated the design of the proposed shed does not match the existing house but it is a
standard building sold by a lumber yard which is used often. It will be screened from the east and south,
is far enough back as to not be seen from the street and will be blocked from view by the house. He
indicated staff had received an unsigned letter and two other letters in regards to the proposal. There was
concern Mr. Simondet was operating a home occupation of restoring old cars. Nielsen stated he did not
believe this was the case. He stated if there are inoperable cars stored outside, they will need to be kept
inside and the City will monitor this. Nielsen indicated staff is recommending approval of the C.U.P.
Jim Simondet, 5390 Shady Hills Circle, stated restoring old cars is a long term hobby not a business.
He explained he has had a lot of vehicles which have come and gone. He reported he currently has a car
which is covered and listed in the paper. If the car does not sell, it will be moved to storage. He
indicated he also has a van, boat, camper, two cars, etc. and the utility shed will provide him with more
storage area.
Chair Borkon again questioned the City policy for outside storage of vehicles. Nielsen stated the
ordinance prohibits storage of unlicensed or inoperable vehicles. If these vehicles are in repair, they can
be stored for up to 30 days.
Mr. Simondet stated all vehicles on his property were operable, licensed and insured.
Chair Borkon opened the public hearing at 8:10 p.m.
Patrick Wilder, 5365 Shady Hills Circle, indicated he had received the public notice and was in
attendance to obtain more information. He stated he had no objection to the utility shed. Mrs. Wilder
expressed her full support also.
Chair Borkon closed the public hearing at 8:12 p.m. Chair Borkon entered the unsigned letter into
record. She also entered letters from John W. McKey Jr. PID 25- 117 -23 -44 -0054, Lot 12 and Mark
Hergt, 5395 Shady Hills Circle into record.
Commissioner Lizee asked if any shrubs or trees would be required on the north side of the shed.
Nielsen stated the shed was set back on the lot and screened quite well.
Pisula moved, Turgeon seconded to recommend to the Council that it approve a C.U.P.
for accessory space in excess of 1200 square feet for Jim and Julie Simondet, 5390
Shady Hills Road subject to staff recommendations and including language to remind
of home occupations and outside storage on the site to be provided by City Council.

4. 7:45 PUBLIC HEARING - C.U.P. AND VARIANCE TO ALLOW ACCESSORY
SPACE IN EXCESS OF 1200 SQUARE FEET / VARIANCE TO TEMPORARILY
ALLOW TWO SINGLE - FAMILY DWELLINGS ON ONE LOT
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
September 5, 1995 - PAGE 5
Applicant: Gerald Grewe
Location: 4550/4560 Enchanted Point
Chair Borkon announced the case and outlined the procedure for a public hearing. Nielsen indicated Mr.
Grewe owns the home at 4550 Enchanted Point and has arranged to purchase the home at 4560
Enchanted Point. He intends to combine the two properties, demolish both homes and existing garage
and build one new home. He is requesting a variance to live in the existing home at 4560 while the new
home is being built. The ordinance limits the number of dwellings on any given lot to one. The
applicant is also requesting a C.U.P. as the existing boathouse and proposed attached garage will exceed
1200 square feet. He is also requesting a variance to exceed the requirement which limits accessory
space to 10% of the minimum lot size for the zoning district in which the property is located. The lots
combined contain an area of 98,733 square feet. The proposed house will contain 5295 square feet on
the main level and the second level appears to be the same as the main floor. The proposed garage will
contain 1100 square feet on the first level and 1450 square feet on the second level. The upper access
will face south and the lower access will face north. The total amount of accessory space on the site will
be 3975 square feet. Nielsen indicated the City has on three other occasions granted a variance for the
temporary location of two homes on one lot. A cash escrow or letter of credit for one and a half the
amount of the bid for removal and site restoration of the temporary home will be required before the
applicant occupies the new home. The applicant has requested he be given twelve months to construct
the new home. Nielsen indicated there are four criteria which need to be satisfied in order to grant a
C.U.P. This proposal does not comply with the second criteria. The accessory space can not exceed
10% of the minimum lot area of the district. This district (R -1C /S) allows a maximum of 2000 square
feet of accessory space. The applicant proposes approximately twice that and has requested a variance
for this. The third criteria limits building height to 35 feet but allows an additional five feet, subject to an
additional three feet of side yard setback and an additional five feet of lakeshore setback for each foot of
height over 35 feet. The applicant has submitted a revised site plan which has reduced the ceiling height
of the lower level and pitch of the roof to 37 feet. He has corrected the position of the home for the
setback but still needs to shift the building down to move the patio so no part will encroach the 60 foot
setback. In regard to the variance to exceed 10% minimum lot size, Nielsen indicated once the properties
are combined, the new home constructed and the existing building removed, the amount of accessory
space on the property will be reduced by approximately 10 %. The total proposed hardcover will be less
than 19.5 %. The attached garage is on two different levels. The only direction from which both levels
can be seen is the west and from that view the garage appears to be part of the structure. The lot will be
five times larger than the R -1C /S district requires. If the variance is granted, staff is recommending a
protective covenant that the property not be redivided unless brought into conformity with code at that
time. Nielsen indicated staff is recommending approval of the variance to temporarily allow two homes
on one lot.
Chair Borkon recessed the meeting at 8:36 p.m. and reconvened at 8:42 p.m.
Jerry Grewe, 4550 Enchanted Point, stated he loved trees and would do all he could to protect them.
Chair Borkon opened the public hearing at 8:45 p.m.
Dave Bleason, 4540 Enchanted Point, stated he felt the existing boathouse was not a problem and was in
good shape. He enjoyed the privacy he received from it on his lot.
Bob Rascop, 4560 Enchanted Point, asked the Commission to look favorably upon the variances being
asked for. He indicated all the conditions had been put on the lot after the buildings were built and he felt
this was a hardship the City had imposed when the zoning was changed from R 1 A to R 1 C.
Roy Kramer, 4475 Enchanted Lane, stated he felt the building would be an asset to the neighborhood
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
September 5, 1995 - PAGE 6
Chair Borkon closed the public hearing at 8:58 p.m.
Commissioner Turgeon asked when the zoning for this lot had been changed. Nielsen indicated the
zoning had been changed in 1986 when the City redid the zoning ordinance.
Commissioner Kolstad asked why the driveway encroached the 50 foot setback. Nielsen explained the
way the driveway exists today it necessitated that Mr. Grewe g rant the City an easement to access and
maintain the dry hydrant that serves this portion of Enchanted Island.
Commissioner Foust thanked Mr. Grewe for all his time volunteered to the City of Shorewood in regards
to the dry fire hydrants and natural gas service to the island. He indicated he was in favor of the proposal
but was having difficulty determining the hardship in this case.
Commissioner Rosenberger asked if there had been a survey performed to determine if there were indian
mounds on the property. Mr. Grewe stated he has performed soil boring and the area in which he is
building is all backfill. He also stated he has made a tentative offer to buy the Yacht Club and retain the
area as green space. Commissioner Rosenberger again questioned Mr. Grewe. Mr. Grewe indicated he
had taken samples of the ground and had also discussed the history with Jewels Illis, the former
excavator to determine which areas of the lot were backfilled.
Chair Borkon indicated she was concerned with the hardship criteria of the variance. She asked Mr.
Grewe if he had thought of removing the boathouse. He indicated he would not remove the boathouse.
Chair Borkon asked what the options were regarding the amount of accessory space. Nielsen indicated
the limit of 2000 square feet was tied to the minimum lot size of the R -1C /S district. He again indicated
the lot being created was five times the size of the normal lot in this district. The concern was that the lot
may be subdivided at some later date. Nielsen indicated the applicant had been agreeable to record a
restrictive covenant that the property will not be subdivided. If someone wanted to subdivide the lot,
they would have to remove the boathouse and reduce the size of the attached garage.
Commissioner Turgeon asked if a precedent would be set if the variance was granted. Nielsen indicated
it would. He indicated this situation was somewhat unique to Shorewood but was occurring more and
more on Lake Minnetonka. He suggested if this appeared to be a trend, it may necessitate investigating
an amendment to the ordinance.
Chair Borkon asked Mr. Grewe if it was a priority to have such a large amount of accessory space. Mr.
Grewe indicated it was. He stated the lower three garage spaces would be used as storage space. He
indicated he has had problems with theft and would like to have everything in a locked garage. Chairman
Borkon asked if he had room for storage in the boathouse. Mr. Grewe indicated the boathouse is used to
store the boat, lawn tractor, leaf machine and general lumber. The boathouse has modern utilities. He
indicated the boathouse is kept open in the winter so if the dry hydrant freezes up, the fire department can
draft out of the boathouse. Nielsen noted the boathouse is structurally sound.
Chair Borkon complimented Mr. Grewe on his plans for the home but asked if there were any way to
reduce the accessory space. Mr. Grewe indicated he had cooperated with the City in all aspects of the
planning. He suggested the property be rezoned to R -1 A. He indicated the neighborhood could go
through the petition process to have the area rezoned, but he preferred not to do this. He stated he had
lived the area for thirty years and plans to die here.
In response to Chair Borkon, Nielsen indicated the island had been reviewed as part of the current zoning
ordinance. The vast majority of the property complies with the R -1C zoning rather than the R -1A.
In response to Commissioner Kolstad, Nielsen indicated it would be more appropriate to make a zoning
ordinance text amendment than to amend the zoning district the property was located in. He indicated the
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
September 5, 1995 - PAGE 7
C.U.P could be modified to stated that the property cannot be redivided in the future. A zoning
ordinance text amendment can be initiated by request of an applicant, staff, Planning Commission or City
Council. A study would then be performed, a public hearing held, the Planning Commission would then
make a recommendation and the City Council would have to approve on a four -fifths vote. He indicated
the process would take 60 -90 days. He noted a variance similar to this was g ranted previously and that
triggered the amendment which changed the maximum accessory space from 1000 square feet to 1200
square feet.
Turgeon moved, Foust seconded to recommend to the Council that it approve a
variance to temporarily allow two single - family dwellings on one lot, approve a
C.U.P. and variance to allow accessory space in excess of 1200 square feet for Gerald
Grewe, 4550/4560 Enchanted Point subject to staff recommendations, not to exceed
the maximum allowed in any zoning district (which is 4000 square feet), and tree
preservations measures be done on the site during construction.
Commissioner Kolstad stated she felt uncomfortable granting a variance that does not meet all the legal
conditions. She indicated she could not vote in favor of the motion.
Commissioner Turgeon indicated she agreed with Commissioner Kolstad but the property was unique in
that it was five times larger than the other properties in the zoning district.
Commissioner Rosenberger indicated he personally felt the house was a bit excessive. He stated he
would support the motion but it did not agree with his personal philosophy.
Commissioner Pisula stated he agreed with Commissioner Rosenberger. He indicated he would vote
against the motion. He noted the plan was reasonable based on the size of the property but he still could
not determine a hardship in this case.
Chair Borkon stated she would vote against the motion. She stated she liked the plan but could not
justify a hardship.
Commissioner Turgeon indicated she felt granting a variance with a cap on it was more appropriate than
CP
an amendment to the ordinance due to the time factor.
a Nielsen indicated if a lot more of these requests were made, he would strongly suggest amending the
code. He suggested the Planning Commission may want to look at the code anyway. He noted there
may be a number of smaller lot combinations similar to this but he did not believe many would request
this much accessory space. He suggested the Commission did not have to grant the variance. They
could table the proposal and initiate an amendment. They could also deny the request and have the
applicant come back under the amended code. He noted this could defer construction until spring.
Mr. Grewe indicated he had worked with his partner and the Board of Directors of his company to obtain
time away from work to do this project. He stated it would create a great hardship if he was not able to
get into the ground almost immediately.
Council Liaison Benson reminded the Commission can be very specific as to why a variance is denied,
they can also be very specific as to why a variance is granted. This would then establish a specific
precedent without opening the door to everyone.
Voting on the motion: 4 ayes /3 nayes. (Chair Borkon, Commissioners Kolstad and
Pisula voted naye.) Motion passed.
The Council will consider the recommendation at it's September 25, 1995 meeting

5. PUBLIC HEARING - C.U.P TO CONSTRUCT A SINGLE FAMILY
DWELLING ON A SUBSTANDARD LOT IN THE SHORELAND DISTRICT
AND SETBACK VARIANCE (Tabled from July 18, 1995)
Applicant: Mark Haymaker
Location: 4300 Enchanted Drive
Chair Borkon announced the case. Chair Borkon recessed the meeting at 9:50 p.m. and reconvened at
9:53 p.m.
Nielsen indicated this request had been tabled at the July 18, 1995 meeting. The applicant has since
complied with staff recommendations and submitted a revised site plan shifting the proposed house on
the site to preserve trees on the property but in the process has enlarged the home. This home is wider
than the home originally proposed. Nielsen indicated that based on a visit to the site, it is evident that the
dripline of the northernmost oak tree is approximately at the south edge of an old tennis court on the site.
He suggested this be the construction limit for the new home. Nielsen indicated staff is recommending
the C.U.P. and setback variances be granted subject to the applicant placing the original house design on
the site plan and the south line of the tennis court to be the drip line, fenced off and subcontractors made is
aware they are not to enter this area.
Mark Haymaker, 4300 Enchanted Drive, indicated he understood the concerns of the Commission and
had shifted the house and took the trees into consideration. He suggested the trees could be trimmed
before construction. He asked if the tree preservation was an ordinance or a policy. Nielsen indicated it
was a draft policy. Mr. Haymaker indicated he felt he should be granted the variance as the trees were
causing a hardship.
Chair Borkon opened the public hearing at 10:03 p.m.
Carl Sheely, 4320 Enchanted Drive, stated Nielsen's report had failed to mention the trees on his
property which would have been damaged by the proposed retaining wall. He questioned the elevation
of the house, if it was consistent with the homes on either side, the height of the building, and if it would
be constructed on pilings. Mr. Haymaker indicated he had performed soil testing and pilings were not
required. He stated the home would be one and a half stories in height with a cape cod style.
Chair Borkon closed the public hearing at 10:06 p.m.
Nielsen indicated the home would be consistent relative to the way it fits the site and consistent with the
size of other structures in the neighborhood. The variance was based on the specific plan. Nielsen stated
the Planning Commission had recommended changes to protect the neighboring and site trees. If these
were destroyed it would adversely affect the character of the lot. Nielsen indicated the average setback
was forty one and a half feet from the lake. The house would need to go five to seven feet further toward
the lake if the tennis court were used as the dripline. Nielsen again stated staff was recommending using
the original house plan as it had a smaller footprint, and shifting it on the lot so it was not closer than the
south line of the tennis court.
Mr. Haymaker stated he was told he could not exceed 25% hard cover surface. He hired an architect to
maximize what can be done within the ordinance. He stated a variance was necessary due to a hardship
caused by the trees. He noted he had a survey performed to locate the trees and understands he will need
to replace any which are cut. He noted he could also just shift the house to the original position and cut
down the trees and plant little ones again.
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
September 5, 1995 - PAGE 9
Nielsen stated the purpose of locating the trees was to determine if there was a way to locate the house on
the lot so the trees can be preserved. In the revised plan the house has been shifted but also enlarged,
defeating the purpose.
Mr. Haymaker stated he needed to know the largest house available to build so he could attempt to get the
maximum allowable footprint. He stated the architect has informed him the driveway would be too short
and he would not be able to park a car, except in the garage, if he used the original proposed house and
shifted it on the lot as staff had suggested. Nielsen indicated the driveway looked workable to him.
Commissioner Foust asked if Nielsen had sufficient time to communicate his concerns regarding the
revised site plan to the applicant. Nielsen indicated he had not. He had received the revised plan the end
of August.
Commissioner Kolstad stated the trees were important but this was a difficult lot. She questioned if the
best solution might be to remove some trees, place the house in the proper position and replace trees,
where possible, in front of the house.
Chair Borkon asked if Nielsen had met with Mr. Haymaker's architect. Nielsen reported there had been
a meeting scheduled but the architect had canceled. Chair Borkon stressed it was essential that the
architect, Nielsen, and Mr. Haymaker meet in order to communicate the desires of the Planning
Commission.
Nielsen asked Mr. Haymaker if the purchase agreement was in jeopardy if he did not receive approval
tonight. Mr. Haymaker stated there was no time factor involved.
Rosenberger moved to table the C.U.P. to construct a single - family dwelling on a
substandard lot in the shoreland district and setback variance for Mark Haymaker,
4300 Enchanted Drive to September 19, 1995.
Chair Borkon once again asked Mr. Haymaker if the sale of the property was in jeopardy. Mr.
Haymaker indicated it was. He stated his architect said the house cannot be twisted on the lot. The
Planning Commission had asked him to locate the trees on the lot and he had done so.
Commissioner Turgeon noted the Planning Commission had asked for a revised site plan to preserve the
a trees on the neighboring lot and the site. This is not however, what they received.
Chair Borkon noted there was a definite communication problem. Commissioner Rosenberger stated he
did not see that the communication problem was the City's responsibility. He felt the Planning
Commission had been clear in what they were requesting at their last meeting with Mr. Haymaker. He
felt some of the responsibility was Mr. Haymaker's.
The motion by Commissioner Rosenberger died for lack of a second.
Rosenberger moved, Pisula seconded to recommend the Council deny the C.U.P. to
construct a single- family dwelling on a substandard lot in the shoreland district and
setback variance for Mark Haymaker, 4300 Enchanted Drive.
In response to Chair Borkon, Nielsen indicated Mr. Haymaker could still proceed forward to the City
Council with his proposal. Approval from the City Council would require a four fifths vote. If the
Council denied his request, he could not submit a similar request for six months.
Chair Borkon reiterated it was imperative the architect meet with Nielsen and understand what the
priorities are.

while he constructs his new home. He also requests a conditional use permit for accessory space in excess
of 1200 square feet and a variance to allow 4000 square feet of accessory space in an R -1 C/S zoning
district. After considerable discussion the variance for two homes was recommended by the Planning
Commission unanimously. The c.u.p. and variance was recommended on a 4 -3 vote. Staff should be
directed to prepare a findings of fact. Approval of both requests requires a four - fifths vote by the
Council.

4. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR 10
Dave Rice, 22740 Murray Street, stated he lived with his girlfriend, Michelle Richter, at the
property addressed in agenda Item 3H. He stated they had just bought the house and had gotten
everything cleaned up, licensed and insured. The only thing remaining on the property is a dock
which he will have a spot for next spring. He stated he did not want to put the dock in the garage
as he wants to park his cars there. He noted people who live on a lake are not required to put their
docks in the buildable area of the lot but are allowed to leave it on the lakeshore.
Mayor Bean explained the ordinance was different for Lakeshore property than it was for non -
lakeshore property. Councilmember Stover asked if the dock could be moved to Mr. Rice's
lakeshore property now.
Mr. Rice indicated he would not own the lakeshore property until spring. He stated he could move
the dock behind the garage where it would not be visible to anyone but he would not be able to
move it off the lot until next spring and intends to move it as soon as the ice is off the lake. Mr.
Rice stated all other conditions had been complied with. He noted he had lived on a lake in Tonka
Bay for 34 years and now moved to Shorewood and has no lakeshore. He indicated he would like
to store the dock right below the garage within the legal setbacks.
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
September 11, 1995 - PAGE 3
Mr. Nielsen indicated he would change his recommendation to grant the appellant 30 days to
comply with City Code with regard to all items except the dock sections which could be stored on
the property until May 1, 1996.
There was Council consensus to direct staff to prepare a motion to extend a deadline to comply
with notice to remove for all items by October 12, 1995 except the dock sections which could
remain in a location within the buildable area of the lot until May 1, 1996.
3L. CONSIDERATION OF ENGINEER JOB DESCRIPTION AND SALARY
RANGE
City Administrator Hurm reported the City Engineer and Public Works Director position will be
combined to one position. Councilmember Benson explained Donald Zdrazil, the current Public
Works Director is retiring. The new City Engineer will be able to train with Zdrazil before he
leaves. He stated the top candidate is very qualified.
Benson moved, McCarty seconded to approve the City Engineer Job Description
and Establish a Salary Range. Motion passed 510.
3M. CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENT TO ENGINEER / PUBLIC
WORKS DIRECTOR POSITION
Councilmember Benson indicated the candidate chosen was Mr. Larry Brown. Hurm indicated
everyone was pleased with the candidate.
Benson moved, Malam seconded to adopt RESOLUTION 95 -88, "A Resolution
approving the Appointment of Lawrence Brown to Engineer / Public Works
Director Position." Motion passed 510.
Councilmember Malam, on behalf of the City Council, thanked Councilmember Benson for all his
efforts in this process.
5. 7:45 PUBLIC HEARING - DELINQUENT UTILITY AND OTHER
PROPERTY SPECIFIC CHARGES
• Finance Director Rolek explained once per year delinquent utility accounts, including sewer,
stormwater utility, City clean -up, dry hydrant, and property clean-up charges, are levied against
the affected properties. After this year there will not be a public hearing on this issue because a
review of the State Statute has indicated a public hearing is not required.
Mayor Bean opened and closed the public hearing at 7:52 p.m. since no one appeared to address
the Council.
Mayor Bean expressed surprise at the length of the list. Rolek explained there was no mechanism
to shut off the services and this is the City's only recourse. He indicated there will be an
assessment against the affected properties as soon as the resolution is adopted.

6. PARKS - Report by Representative
Commissioner Dzurak reviewed the discussions by the Commission at its August 29, 1995 Park
Commission meeting. (Details are provided in the minutes of that meeting.)
7. PLANNING - Report by Representative
Commissioner Pisula reviewed the discussions and recommendations made at the Planning
Commission's September 5, 1995 meeting. (Details are provided in the minutes of that meeting.)
A. Consideration of an Appeal to a Zoning Violation Letter. Applicant: Peter Lehman.
Location: 21285 Radisson Road.
Nielsen reported Mr. Lehman had indicated he would not be able to attend the meeting tonight
because he was out of town. Nielsen stated staff is recommending the property owner be granted
an extension until October 11 to comply with City Code or make appropriate application for a
zoning request by that time. Nielsen explained the ordinance requires outdoor storage occur only
in the buildable area of the lot. Mr. Lehman would prefer storage to occur in the driveway or on
the street side of the property. Nielsen indicated the applicant could consider a variance request, if •
he can demonstrate a hardship, but he presumes there are other options available.
Stover moved, McCarty seconded to grant an extension to October 11, 1995 to
comply with the Code or, as an alternative, make appropriate application for a
zoning request by that time, per staff recommendation. Motion passed 510.
8. CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING BOULDER BRIDGE AND BADGER
FIELD WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
A. A Resolution Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract for Boulder Bridge and Badger Field
Water System Improvements.
City Engineer DeLaForest explained on August 25, 1995, four bids were received for the project
with the lowest bid of $903,914.00 being received from Dave Perkins Contracting, Inc. He
indicated the City has the option of contracting all of the work or only a portion. He explained
there were two reasons the prices were higher than anticipated. One was the ambiguity of how the
watermain fittings were bid. If the work is awarded to Dave Perkins, the fittings will be at the .
price bid per pound, but the quantity will be based on the actual weight of compact fittings used.
This will result in a price reduction of $41,000. The second reason the bid was higher is the
bidders seemed to view the work as being more difficult than the engineer did due to the restrictive
work space and the requirement to maintain traffic on Smithtown Road. DeLaForest explained the
two main factors in the difference between the feasibility report estimate and the lowest bid
received are the amount of necessary pavement restoration and the utility interference which will
require more expensive "directional boring" techniques. He stated Rolek had studied the cash flow
and determined the project was still financially feasible. The Heritage Development is relying on
water being provided this fall and Lundgren Bros stated they can wait until next Summer. He also
noted if Council awards all of the work for the project at this time, it is unlikely all the work will be
completed this year. DeLaForest recommended City Council award all work to Dave Perkins
Contracting, Inc. for $903,914. If only part of the work is awarded, he recommended awarding
Schedule D, so Heritage Development will be served this year.
Benson moved, Malam seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 95 -90. "A
Resolution Accepting Bid and Awarding Contract for Boulder Bridge and Badger
Field Water System Improvements to Dave Perkins Contracting, Inc. in the
amount of $903,914. Motion passed 4/1. (Stover voted nay.)
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
September 11, 1995 - PAGE 5
B . A Resolution Establishing Water Connection Policy.
Rolek reported he had performed a cash flow with the assumption hook -ups would be required as
water is made available and the water fund becomes fairly low in the year 2010 but increases after
that point. An analysis was also done on the presumption one tenth of the residents would hook-
up to the water system and this resulted in a deficit in the year 2010.
Councilmember Stover asked if the projections took into account any other expansions to the water
system. Rolek indicated this only considered the project at hand. Rolek noted this project had a
large capital expenditure. The water tower is being built to serve a large area but is now only
affecting a small area.
Mayor Bean asked what areas are anticipated to be served by next year. DeLaForest stated they are
planning stage development implementation of the water system by looking at the potential
assessments, trunk charges, and user revenue of the people who will be coming onto the system.
There are also other possibilities such as serving part of the City of Victoria.
In response to Councilmember Malam, Rolek indicated the cash flow analysis did assume
everyone with water available would hook -up within two years.
Councilmember Benson stated he was not troubled by the bid process but was not comfortable
with forcing people to hook -up immediately to the system when it comes by on their street. He
stated some people may need longer as the hook -up may be very expensive. He indicated he was
also not comfortable in charging a user fee to those who chose not to hook -up. He suggested an
analysis be performed in one year to determine if mandatory hook -up was necessary.
Councilmember McCarty stated it was always known there would be a point when everyone would
have to hook -up but no specific deadline had been determined. She stated this was painful but is
the only fiscally responsible thing to do.
Mayor Bean indicated he did not agree with a year to year analysis as he wanted consistency for the
residents.
Councilmember Stover stated she did not want to force people to hook -up to the system. She
indicated she would prefer an annual analysis and if hook -ups are necessary, require them at that
time. If enough people hook -up, mandatory hook -ups may never be necessary :
Councilmember McCarty stated she would prefer the availability charge. She noted Orono and
Victoria use this procedure.
Mayor Bean stated the decision to move forward with the water system was made because the
community needs City water. In order to make this economically viable, it requires hook -ups. He
stated he believed it was appropriate to give people a reasonable timeframe to work with so they
can plan. Mayor Bean indicated the choices were to have higher assessments or a lower
assessment and utility charges to fund the difference. The assessments alone would not fund the
system.
Councilmember Benson stated some people may not be able to afford a $5000 assessment and then
the fee to hook -up at the same time. He indicated he was uncomfortable making a decision tonight.
He stated he would agree with a mandatory hook -up in 18 months but believed the issue should be
reviewed in one year. Councilmember Malam indicated he was comfortable with this timeframe.
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
September 11, 1995 - PAGE 6
Councilmember Stover stated she felt it would be appropriate for an analysis to be done one year
from today and a determination made at that point when or if hook -up will be required. She
believed there would be better facts to deal with at that time, such as real costs, who had hooked -
up, etc.
There was Council consensus to direct staff to prepare a resolution establishing policy regarding
hookup to the municipal water system to include "residents shall hookup to the water system
within 18 months of water being available unless City Council determines the deadline be extended
following an analysis of the status of the water fund by September 1996 ".
Mayor Bean recessed the meeting at 9:52 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 10:07 p.m.
9. ADMINISTRATOR AND STAFF REPORTS
A. Engineer's Report on Resident Request to Extend Watermain Project.
DeLaForest reported the property owners of 5935 and 5970 Afton Road have requested water
hook -up during the 1995 water improvements. He stated both properties are quite a way off
Smithtown Road and hook -up cannot be implemented under the Smithtown Road project. He
stated an implementation plan for future water extension is being done and when a schedule for
extension along Afton Road and Cathcart Drive is reached, the residents will be notified when they
can expect water.
B . Engineer's Report on Minnewashta School Tower Site Investigation.
DeLaForest reported he met with Eugene George, Mr. Lloyd Law, Mr. Terry Forbord and Mr.
John Uban to discuss the sighting of the water tower on the Minnewashta School property. He
stated three sites are being considered. There was also a fourth potential location identified which
is closer to the school and Smithtown Road. The City has agreed to provide soil borings for each
site. A report should be received from the company performing the soil borings by the middle of
the week and a report will available for the City Council on the cost of the different options within
two weeks.
Mayor Bean recognized Mr. Forbord and the Minnewashta School for their help in researching
alternative plans for the water tower site.
C. Administrator's Report on Metro Mobility Service to the City
Hurm reported he had met Mark Fuhrmann from the transit staff of the Metropolitan Council to
discuss the issue of Shorewood, Tonka Bay, Plymouth, Maple Grove, Osseo, Vadnais Heights
and White Bear Township losing Metro Mobility Service. It was initially determined that the
Metropolitan Council is not required to provide Metro Mobility Service to these seven communities
according to the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Mr. Fuhrmann indicated he
will be recommending a compromise to the Metropolitan Council that the service run from 6 a.m.
to 7 p.m. This would cover 90 -92% of the current calls. The proposal is to take $7,000 from the
Shorewood property taxes and $5,580 from State funds.
•
McCarty moved, Stover seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 95 -91. "A
Resolution Maintaining Metro Mobility Service for Shorewood Residents
Amended by Adding "Request Service to the Shorewood Residents be Maintained
at the Same Level as Other Metropolitan Communities ". Motion passed 510.
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

2 ESTABLISH GOALS FOR 1996 AND REVIEW PROPOSED
OPERATING BUDGET
Rolek outlined the proposed 1996 operating budget. Rolek explained the growth rate from .
1994/1995 to 1995/1996 was 11.7% with new construction accounting for 5 -6% and inflation
6 -7 %. He indicated the tax rate for 1995/1996 was 17.548% compared to 1994/1995 of 18.471%.
Rolek explained the increases in 1996 proposed expenditures were in police, fire, Christmas Lake
Study, increased CIP effort, assessor, election judges, salary adjustments, and the Senior
Community Center. If these increases were subtracted from the proposed expenditures the 1996
budget would actually be $5,551 less than the 1995 adopted budget. The increases in the 1996
proposed levy included a decrease in HACA and in liquor store transfer. If these increases were
subtracted from the 1996 proposed levy, the levy would actually result in an increase of $48,790
more than the 1995 General Tax Levy. Rolek illustrated the alternatives to reduce the 1996 budget
by the Senior Community Center amount.
There was Council consensus to not reduce the 1996 budget by the Senior Community Center
amount.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brad Nielsen
DATE: 13 September 1995
RE: Martin, Roxanne - C.U.P - Deadline Extension
FILE NO. 405 (95.16)
Due to adverse weather conditions the Martins' plans to construct a landscape berm in front
of their home have been delayed (see attached letter, dated 8 September). Since the
conditional use permit stipulated that the berm must be landscaped by 1 October 1995,
their request for a 30 -day extension to complete the work must be approved by the Council.
Approval of this extension is recommended.
If you have any questions relative to this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me prior
to Monday night's meeting.

RE: Rice, David - Appeal Notice to Remove and Zoning Violation
FILE NO. 405 (Property - 22740 Murray Street)
At the last meeting I attempted to revise my recommendation regarding the above -
referenced appeal (see memo re: Richter, Michelle) to extend the deadline for removal of
dock sections being stored on the property. Under the circumstances I suggest that the
owner be allowed to store the dock sections until 1 June 1996, at which time they will be
relocated and not returned to the subject property. This recommendation is based on a
condition that the dock sections be stacked neatly behind the owner's garage and that the
other violations be corrected within 30 days of the last Council meeting.
If you have any questions relative to this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me prior
to Monday night's meeting.

RE: Hunner, John - Variance to Alter a Nonconformin Residential Structure
FILE NO.: 405 (95.30)
BACKGROUND
Mr. John Hunner proposes to remodel his home at 20625 Radisson Road (see Site Location
map - Exhibit A, attached). As can be seen on Exhibit B, the home does not conform to the
setback requirements of the R -1C /S, Single- Family Residential/Shoreland zoning district in
which is it located. Mr. Hunner proposes to replace the existing flat roof on the house with a
gable roof. He also proposes to remove an existing detached garage and replace it with a larger
garage which complies with setback requirements.
The property in question contains only 12,268 square feet of area. The north half of the lot is
level, dropping off dramatically south of the existing driveway. The house contains
approximately 1235 square feet of area on each of two levels. It is located only 15 feet from the
ordinary high water level of Christmas Lake. The existing garage contains 535 square feet. As
proposed, the new garage would contain 1032 square feet of area. Existing impervious surface
coverage on the-property is 41 percent, 16 percent over the maximum. Mr. Hunner proposes to
move the new garage forward on the lot to create some yard area between the garage and house.
The applicant's request is explained in his letter (Exhibit C), dated 1 August 1995.
ANALYSIS/RECOMMENDATION
Section 1201.03 of the Zoning Code contains provisions relative to nonconforming uses and
structures. Although the intent of these provisions is to discourage the survival of
nonconforming structures, they are tempered somewhat for nonconforming single - family
dwellings. Subd. l.j. states:
"Alterations may be made to a building containing lawful nonconforming residential units
when they will improve the livability thereof, provided they will not increase the number of
dwelling units or the nonconformity."
A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore
Re: ' Hunner, John
Variance
29 August 1995
The applicant's request is considered to fit with this provision. Although the walls and
foundation of the home are very sound, the roof is badly in need of repair. Not only does the
flat design create leakage problems, the resulting ceiling height does not meet current building
codes. Construction of a gable roof with increased ceiling heights certainly can be construed as
improving the livability of the home.
Exhibit D shows how the remodeled structure will look from different directions. The
applicant's architect is to be commended for creating a design which minimizes the height of the
structure. What does not show on the building elevations is that several mature trees on the lake
side of the home significantly soften the mass of the structure as viewed from the lake. Since
replacement of the roof does not cause damage to the root systems of the trees, the trees need
not be damaged by construction (some trimming will be necessary).
• In addition to creating more yard area between the house and garage, the new garage is intended
to make up for the lack of storage in the existing home. Although the new garage will be larger
than the existing one, a significant amount of driveway pavement will be removed, actually
reducing the amount of impervious surface on the site and increasing conformity with the Code.
Note: The amount of and percent of impervious surface to be removed has not been calculated
as of this writing, but should be available at the meeting.
Based upon the preceding, the variance is considered justified and will allow the applicant to
make reasonable use of his property. Approval is recommended subject to the following
conditions:
1. While trimming of the existing trees will be allowed, they should be protected during
construction.
2. If the new garage is proposed to be built before the old one is torn down and the pavement
removed, a cash escrow or letter of credit must be provided prior to issuance of a building
permit to ensure that the improvements are completed within six months.

August 1, 1995
TO: Shorewood Planning Commission and City Council
SUBJECT: Request for approval to replace and modify existing roof and relocate garage on
property.
CRITERIA: The existing building is a substantial structure built prior to the 1900's consisting
of 18" thick concrete exterior walls on three sides with post and beam interior
construction. The building was part of the Charles A.F. Morris residence and
Glen Morris Inn (later known as the Radisson Inn) complex built in 1885. This
structure served as the boat house and is one of the few remaining remnants of the
Christmas Lake Landmark.
The existing flat roof is inadequate and needs to be replaced. Flat roofs in this
climate are impractical and we have found are prone to many problems.
Therefore we are requesting a variance to replace the flat roof with a pitched roof.
The architect has put a great deal of thought and effort into this proposed design.
Our goal is not only to create an esthetically pleasing structure, but also to recall
the original character of the Radisson Inn.
We appreciate your time and consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
F hn % Hunneir

DATE: 30 August 1995
RE: Simondet, James - C.U.P. for Accessory Space in Excess of 1200 Square Feet
FILE NO.: 405 (95.29)
BACKGROUND
Mr. and Mrs. James Simondet propose to build a utility shed on the east side of their property at
5390 Shady Hills Circle (see Site Location map - Exhibit A, attached). Since the area of the
proposed shed, when added to their existing attached garage space, exceeds 1200 square feet of
floor area, they have requested a conditional use pen nit pursuant to Section 1201.03 Subd.
2.d.(4) of the City Code.
The property in question is zoned R -1C, Single - Family Residential and contains approximately
25,200 square feet. The existing house contains approximately 2158 square feet of floor area
above grade. The existing attached garage contains 1118 square feet, and the proposed 12' x
• 20' shed contains 240 square feet. Total proposed accessory space is 1358 square feet.
Exhibit B shows the location of existing and proposed structures on the site. Exhibit C shows
how the shed will look.
ANALYSIS/RECOMMENDATION
Section 1201.03 Subd. 2.d.(4) of the City Code provides four criteria for granting an accessory
space C.U.P. Following is how the applicant's request complies:
a. The total area of accessory space (1358 sq. ft.) does not exceed the floor area above grade
of the principal structure (2158 sq. ft.).
b. The accessory space does not exceed 10 percent of the minimum lot size for the zoning
district in which the property is located (.10 x 20,000 = 2000 sq. ft.).

Re: Simondet, James
C.U.P. for Accessory Space
30 August 1995
c. The proposed building complies with R -1 C setback requirements and has no apparent
impact on site drainage. Existing vegetation at the east and south sides of the property will
provide screening from adjacent properties.
d. While the design of the proposed shed does not match the existing house, it is a commonly
used plan for residential utility sheds. Given its location and the screening referenced in c.
above, the design should be compatible with the property and surrounding neighborhood.
In response to the public hearing notice for this request, we have received an unsigned letter
(Exhibit D) expressing concerns about the subject property. While the applicants' restoring of
classic and antique cars is considered to be a hobby rather than a home occupation, at least one
of the concerns raised in the letter has merit. Outside storage of unlicensed or inoperable
vehicles is prohibited by City Code. It is assumed that the accessory space is intended to
alleviate the applicants' storage situation. As a condition of the C.U.P. approval the City may
wish to include language regarding home occupations and restricting outdoor storage on the
site.

This letter is in response to your notification concerning
a public hearing for an additional shed or garage at the
Simondet property in Shady Hills.
A few years ago the Simondet 's added a third garage to their
property. This was to provide room for a car or other property
as their driveway always had two to four cars parked.
This third garage we were told, was to allow space to garage more
vehicles. This has not happened. Today, on inventory out front
includes:
1 Van
1 Boat
1 Traitor
2 Cars
1 Covered Car
It appears to some Shady Hills residents that the new shed or
garage is to provide storage for antigue /classic cars that
are being restored on their property.
To date, a mid 1940 chev has been restored and I believe it is
gone.
Current restoration is on a 1949 Buick inside the garage.
The covered car in the driveway is a 1920 or 1930 era. This
car appears to be waiting to be restored.
The driveway is an eyesore to Shady Hills.
It also appears that Simondet is running a business and
that is the reason for the third garage - -and now the fourth
garage or "shed" is to handle the business.
Sincerely,
Concerned Shady Hills

TO: Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brad Nielsen
DATE: 1 September 1995
RE: Grewe, Jerry - Variance to Temporarily Allow Two Homes on One Lot /
C.U.P. for Accessory Space in Excess of 1200 Square Feet /
Variance for Amount of Accessory Space
FILE NO.: 405 (95.32)
BACKGROUND
Mr. Jerry Grewe owns the home at 4550 Enchanted Point and has arranged to purchase the
home at 4560 Enchanted Point (see Site Location map - Exhibit A, attached). He proposes to
combine the two properties, demolish both homes and an existing garage, and build one new
home on the property. He has asked that the City approve a variance to allow him to live in the
house at 4560 while the new home is being built.
Since the total amount of garage space and an existing boat house on the site will exceed 1200
square feet of floor area, Mr. Grewe requests a conditional use permit. He also requests a
variance to exceed the requirement which limits accessory space to 10 percent of the minimum
lot size for the zoning district in which the property is located.
The property is zoned R -1C /S, Single - Family Residential/Shoreland and contains a total of
98,733 square feet of area between the two lots. The proposed house will contain 5295 square
feet on the main level. As of this writing square footage of a second level is not available,
although it appears to equal the first floor area. The applicant proposes to build an attached two -
level garage with 1100 square feet on the upper level and 1450 square feet on the lower level.
The two levels will be accessed from the south and north sides of the structure, respectively.
The applicant proposes to keep an existing, nonconforming boat house on the property which
contains 1475 square feet, bringing the total of proposed accessory space to 4025 square feet.
Exhibit B, attached, contains the applicant's proposed site plan. Exhibits C and D show
building elevations from the west and the east. Exhibit E is the first floor plan for the new
house. Exhibit F is the applicant's request letter.

Re: Grewe, Jerry
C.U.P. and Variances
1 September 1995
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
Upon review of the applicant's plans and applicable provisions of the Shorewood City Code,
the following issues are raised.
A. Variance for Temporary Location of Two Homes on One Lot. The Shorewood Zoning
Code limits the number of principal uses or structures on residential land to one. The City
has, on at least three previous occasions, allowed a property owner to leave an existing
home in place while a new home is being constructed. In those cases three primary issues
arise: 1) making sure that retaining the old house does not force an undesirable location of
the new one; 2) securing an adequate financial guarantee to ensure that the older home will
be removed; and 3) obtaining assurance that the older home will be removed within a
specified reasonable amount of time.
1. Due to the large size of the combined lots, the location of the existing home does not
adversely affect the location of the new home. Although there are factors which may
require some site plan modification (these will be discussed further on in the report),
the existing home is not considered to be one of them.
2. Experience shows us that the best way to assure that the property will be brought into
conformance with the Code (i.e. removal of the existing house when the new one is
done) is to require an adequate financial guarantee from the applicant. Prior to
issuance of a certificate of occupancy the applicant should submit bids for demolition
of the existing house and garage, removal of the existing driveway and restoration of
the site. A letter of credit or cash escrow in the amount of one and one -half of the bid
amount shall then be required before the C.O. will be issued.
3. It is important to specify a time limit for completion of the new home and removal of
the old. In past requests the City has allowed anywhere from six to twelve months for
compliance. The applicant requests twelve months due to the size of the project.
B. Conditional Use for Accessory Space in Excess of 1200 Square feet. Section 1201.03
Subd. 2.d.(4) sets forth four criteria for granting an accessory space C.U.P. Following is
how the applicant's request complies.
The area of accessory space (4025 square feet) does not exceed the floor area above
grade of the principal structure. The first floor alone contains 5295. It is assumed that
the second floor will be close if not equal to that of the first.
2. The area of accessory space does exceed ten percent of the minimum lot area for the
R -1C /S district. This district allows up to 2000 square feet of accessory space. The
applicant proposes approximately twice that, which would be consistent with the R -lA
zoning district. The applicant has requested a variance, which is discussed in C.
below of this report.
-2-
Re: Grewe, Jerry
C.U.P. and Variances
1 September 1995
3. The location of the new house complies with R -1C /S setback requirements, except that
the height of the structure requires additional side and Lakeshore setbacks. The Code
limits building height to 35 feet. Buildings can go as high as 40 feet, subject to an
additional three feet of side yard setback and an additional five feet of lakeshore
setback for each foot of height over 35 feet. While ample room exists on the site to
accommodate the additional setback requirements, the applicant is considering how to
adjust his plans so as not to necessitate removing any unnecessary trees. One option
may be to reduce the upper level garage to two stalls rather than three. Removal of the
large driveway loop south of the garage would also eliminate the need to cut down the
two large oak trees shown on Exhibit B. Exhibit G, attached, illustrates the required
setbacks for the height of the proposed building.
4. Since the proposed garage is attached to the house, architectural compatibility does not
• appear to be an issue. There is more discussion of this in C. below.
C . Variance to Exceed 10 % Minimum Lot Size. The four criteria listed in B. above were
established to control the amount of accessory space in residential zoning districts. Unlike
agricultural areas where accessory buildings dominate the site, it was determined that in
residential districts there should be some reasonable ratio between principal structures (i.e.
dwellings) and the buildings accessory to them. The C.U.P. process was used to avoid the
appearance of large garages with houses attached to them. It was further determined that
the scale of accessory buildings should relate somehow the size of the property. Rather
than use the actual site size, the minimum lot size for the zoning district was used. The
reason for this approach was that large lots had the potential to be subdivided, at which
time the building to property ratio would become a problem.
The current accessory space provisions have served the City well, recognizing that in a
recreational area such as the south shore the need for accessory space may be higher than
other areas, while still maintaining a primarily residential character. In this regard it is
important to be concerned about setting any adverse precedent. With this in mind there are
• factors in this case which are worth considering.
1. The amount of accessory space currently located on the two sites is approximately
4447 square feet. Once the lots have been combined, the new house has been built
and the existing structures on the southerly lot have been removed, the amount of
accessory space proposed is 4025 square feet, a nine percent reduction overall. If the
amount of accessory space is limited to 4000, which is the maximum allowed in any
zoning district, the reduction in accessory space would be 10 percent. It is also worth
noting that, despite the large home and accessory space size, total proposed hardcover
is only 19.5 percent of the lot area.
2. The attached garage space is on two different levels. The garage doors of the upper
level can only be seen from the south, while the garage doors of the lower level can
only be seen from the north. The only direction from which both levels can be seen is
the west (see Exhibit C), and from that direction the garages appear to be very much
part of the house.
-3-
Re: Grewe, Jerry
C.U.P. and Variances
1 September 1995
3. Once combined the applicant's lot will be nearly five times as large as the R -1 C/S
district requires. To mitigate the concern that the property may be resubdivided at
some later date, the City could require that a protective covenant be recorded against
the property, putting future owners on notice that the property can not be redivided in
the future. This would require that the amount of attached garage be reduced to 2000
square feet and that the boat house would be removed.
RECOMMENDATION
The variance to temporarily allow two structures on one lot is relatively simple, and precedent
exists for handling this request. Approval is recommended subject to the following:
• 1. The applicant must provide evidence that the two lots have been combined prior to
issuance of a building permit for the new home.
2. As part of his building permit application the applicant should provide a revised site
plan providing the additional setbacks shown on Exhibit G.
3. The applicant must complete the new home within one year from date of issuance of
the building permit.
4. Prior to issuance of an occupancy permit the applicant must provide bids for removal
of the house, garage and existing driveway for the southerly lot. From this bid, a
cash escrow or letter of credit for one and one -half times the bid amount shall be
required to guarantee that the existing structures and driveway will be removed and
the site restored within 30 days of the applicant's occupancy of the new home.
Not so simple is the variance to exceed the accessory space to minimum lot size ratio. If this
• variance is granted it should be subject to the applicant recording a restrictive covenant against
the property stating that the property can not be redivided until such time as it is brought into
conformity with the City Code. The covenant shall include the,City as a signatory so that it can
not be changed without the City's consent.

REQUEST LETTER
Accompanying the Zoning / Subdivision & Building Permit Applications For The
GREWE PROPERTIES
4550 & 4560 ENCHANTED POINT
SHOREWOOD, MINNESOTA
Dear Sirs:
This letter respectfully requests City approval of the variances needed to build a new
home on the (soon to be) combined lots at 4550 and 4560 Enchanted Point.
The first variance is two -fold and requests permission to:
1. Build over the existing lot lines of the two properties.
It is understood that approval of this variance is contingent upon
combining the two lots in question. The Owner is working out details
on this lot combination with Hennepin County and other involved
parties. The legalities will hopefully be finalized in the near future.
This variance is needed to allow the new home to be located as
shown on the site plan. The location shown maintains the property
value of the combined lots and the siting of the house is appropriate
not only to the newly created lot but consistent with similarly sized
lots.
2. Live in the existing house on the 4560 lot during construction of the new
home. Byway of explanation:
• The 4550 and 4560 lots each have a single family home on
them.
• The Owner proposes to tear down the house on the 4550 lot to
make way for construction.
• The Owner proposes to live in the existing house on the 4560 lot
during construction and then to demolish it when a Certificate of
Occupancy has been secured for the new home. A copy of the
demolition proposal for house on the 4560 lot is attached to this
letter.
In discussing this variance with the City, . Brad Nielsen indicated that a similar
variance had been granted in three other instances.

City of Shorewood
Request Letter, continued

The second variance requests permission to build a garage, attached to the house,
with 1,100 square feet on the main level and 1,450 square feet on the level below
for a total of 2,500 square feet. Approval of this variance will allow the garage size
and setting to be consistent with and proportionate to the house design and the
area of the property.

Dear Council Members:
I am writing this letter in
applications.
support of the Grewe variance
The Planning commission approved the application on a 4 to 3
vote. The problem that caused this split vote appeared to me to
be more of a procedual problem than an unwillingness to approve
the application. They all spoke in favor of the recombination and
what a fine home this would be for the community.
The problem appeared to be one of defining'a real hardship on the
part of Mr. Grewe with respect to the amount of accessory space
that he needs. Mr. Grewe would like 7000 sq.ft. and the Planning
commission could not see allowing more than 2000 sq.ft., i.e. ten
percent of the 20,000 sq. ft. allowed, in the R1C zone. To treat
an application that contains almost 100,000 sq. feet as if it
were only 20,000 is absurd, illogical, and inflexible. This 2000
sq. ft. restriction is a hardship because it was created by the
actions of the city and not by the property owner. Mr. Grewe
currently has a legal, conforming 4700 sq. ft. accessory space
that was allowed at the time the structures now on his property
were built.
The zoning code in this area was changed by the city in response
to the small lots on Shady Island. No allowance was made for
preserving large estate type lots that do exist on the islands in
some locations.
If you feel that you need-to change the code to address these
large parcels in smaller zoning districts, please grant Mr. Grewe
a temporary building permit while the rewrite is taking place.

MEMORANDUM

RE: Krutsch, Alan - Simple Subdivision
FILE NO.: 405 (95.28)
In 1990 the City approved a simple subdivision of the property located at 25725 Smithtown Road.
Based upon a staff report (see attached, copied yellow), dated 31 July 1990, the City approved the
division. The owners at the time did not, however, record the division and the approval has since
expired.
The current owner, Alan Krutsch, now requests the same division as that which had been
approved in 1990. Issues and the recommendation made in the previous staff report are still
considered valid. As an update, park dedication fees have increased to $750 since then, sewer
charges are $1000 for the new lot and the subdivision is subject to water assessments of $5000 for
each lot (one has already been assessed) and a $5000 trunk water charge for the new lot.
Subject to these revisions, approval is recommended.

RE: LUKICH, JAMES - SIMPLE SUBDIVISION
FILE NO.: 405 (90.20)
BACKGROUND
James and`Rhonda Lukich request approval to subdivide their property located
at 25725 S,<<ithtown Road (see Site Location map - Exhibit A, attached) into
two lots. The property is zoned R -1C, Single-Family Residential and contains
approximately 71,000 square feet of area. The applicant's residence is
located on the west side of the subject site.
Exhibit B illustrates the proposed division. The proposed westerly parcel
contains 47,084 square feet of area and the easterly parcel 23,520 square
feet.
• ANALYSIS /RECOMMENDATION•
To retain the existing character of their home the applicants have made
parcel A larger than parcel B. The dividing line was established primarily
by a row of existing trees on the property. Although parcel A has adequate
area for two lots, the way the property is proposed to be divided, it will
not have adequate width to be further divided. The record should reflect
that the applicants are aware of this issue.
Both lots meet or exceed the minimum size requirements for the R -1C zoning
district. As can be seen on Exhibit B, both lots have ample buildable area,
despite the triangular shape of parcel B.
It is therefore recommended that the division be approved subject to the
following:
A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore
Re: Lukich, James
simple Subdivision
31 July 1990
1. Drainage and utility easements 10 feet along each side of all side and
rear lot lines must be provided. Since a 16.5 foot driveway easement
exists on the west side of the property, all parties having an interest
in the property must sign the easement.
2. Park dedication fees ($500) must be paid prior to release of the
resolution approving the division. Credit has been given for the lot
with the existing home.
3. The division must be recorded with Hennepin County within 30 days of the
applicant's receipt of the Council resolution approving the division.
Failure to record the division will void the approval.
.l. The applicant should advise.the City Clerk as to how sewer equalization
charges should be spread against the lots.

DATE: 15 September 1995
• RE: Haymaker C.U.P. / Variance - Second Revision
FILE NO.: 405 (95.20)
After Mr. Haymaker's application was tabled at the 5 September meeting, I met with Mr. Haymaker and
his architect to discuss the location of the proposed home on the lot.
Based upon discussions at the two previous Planning Commission meetings at which Mr. Haymaker's
application was considered, I suggested that the applicant situate the home within the following confines:
1. Shoreline - 41.5 feet from the ordinary high water level. This conforms with the average
setback established by the two adjoining homes.
2. South side - the dripline of the stand of three oak trees and the row of pine trees.
3. Front - far enough back so as to allow a 20 -foot parking space in front of the garage
• without extending into the street r.o.w.
4. Northeast side - the dripline of vegetation growing along the property line.
Mr. Haymaker has submitted the revised plan shown on Exhibit A. This plan is consistent with the
direction given the applicant. It is therefore recommended that the conditional use permit and setback
variance be granted subject to the following conditions:
A. Prior to the start of any site work the applicant must install construction fencing along the dripline
of the trees and at a setback of 20 feet from the shoreline.
B . The excavation near the oak trees shall be cut in so as to severe any roots as cleanly as possible.
C. Prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the home the site must be landscaped as shown
on Exhibit B.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council
• FROM: Brad Nielsen
DATE: 4 September 1995
RE: Haymaker, Mark - Revised Site Plan
FILE NO.: 405 (95.20)
At the August Planning Commission meeting, Mr. Haymaker was directed by the Commission to
submit a revised site plan shifting his proposed house on the site to preserve trees on the property.
Mr. Haymaker has done so (see attached exhibit), but in the process has enlarged the proposed
home.
Based upon our tree protection research, it is important to protect the root system of the trees out to
at least the dripline. Upon revisiting the site the dripline of the northernmost oak tree is
approximately at the south edge of the old tennis court. As can be seen on the revised site plan the
larger house plan extends beyond the edge of the court.
It is recommended that the C.U.P. and setback variances be granted subject to the applicant placing
the original house design on the site plan so as not to extend south of the old tennis court.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brad Nielsen
DATE: 12 July 1995
RE: Haymaker, Mark - C.U.P. to Build on a Substandard Lot and Setback Variance
FILE NO.: 405 (95.20)
BACKGROUND
Mr. Mark Haymaker proposes to build a new home at 4300 Enchanted Drive (see Site Location
map - Exhibit A, attached). Since the lot does not comply with the area requirements of the
R -1C /S zoning district, the applicant requests a conditional use permit pursuant to Section
1201.26 Subd. 5.b. of the City Code. In addition, the applicant requests a 14 -foot variance to
the front yard setback requirement.
As can be seen on Exhibit B, the property is currently occupied. by an old bituminous tennis
court. The. lot contains 14,431 square feet of area. The home to the south of the subject
property is located approximately 50 feet from the ordinary high water level (O.H.W.L.) of
Lake Minnetonka and 50 feet from the right -of -way of Enchanted Drive. The house to the east
is located approximately 33 feet from the O.H.W.L. and only 10 feet from Enchanted Drive.
Exhibit B shows how the applicant proposes to locate the home on the lot. At staff's direction
he has attempted to maintain the 50 -foot setback from the lake. The site plan shows the house
10 feet from the south lot line and 36 feet from the east side. A 21- foot -front yard setback is
proposed.
The proposed house, shown on Exhibits D - G, contains 2593 square feet of area, including an
attached two -car garage on the first level and 798 square feet on the second level.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
Section 1201.26 Subd. 5.b. contains provisions for construction on substandard shoreland lots.
Following is how the applicant's request complies with the Code:
A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore
Re: Haymaker, Mark
C.U.P. and Setback Variance
12 July 1995
1. R -1C Use and Setback Requirements. The proposed single - family residential use of the
property is consistent with the zoning of the property. The applicant has requested a 14-
foot variance to the 35 -foot front yard setback requirement. The following factors support
some variance to the Code:
a. The average front yard setback between the two adjoining homes is 30 feet. The
average lakeshore setback is 41.5 feet. As mentioned, the applicant moved the home
closer to the street to comply with the 50 -foot Lakeshore requirement at staff's
direction. While past precedent has been to favor the lake, there may be justification to
relocate the proposed home between the average street setback and the average lake
setback.
b. The lot is substantially level except where it rises up approximately four feet at the
• south property line. The shallowness of the lot (66' on the east side), its configuration
and the applicant's attempt to maintain the 50 -foot lakeshore setback necessitate the
construction of a retaining wall along the south property line. This adversely affects a
cluster of oak trees located on the south side of the applicant's property and possibly
some large trees on the adjoining lot. Shifting the proposed house to the north and
east, although decreasing the lakeshore setback, would provide an opportunity to save
the existing trees. Exhibit H illustrates one way the building could be repositioned
between the average setback lines.
c. Neither the front setback variance nor the lakeshore variance are inconsistent with the
character of the existing homes on Enchanted Drive.
d. The lot shallowness and configuration of the property cause a hardship for the
applicant which was not brought on by himself or the previous owner. The lot was
platted under different standards than those found in the current Code. The variance is
considered necessary to make reasonable use of the property. Also, the proposed
home is not oversized for the area in which it is located. Consequently, the variance is
the minimum required to make reasonable use of the site.
2. Separate Ownership The applicant does not own either of the adjoining lots.
3. Seventy Percent Requirement. The Code requires that a nonconforming lot of record meet
at least 70 percent of the area and width requirements of the zoning district to be considered
buildable. The subject property is 118 feet wide at the building line (110 feet at the 30 -foot
average setback line) and contains 14,431 square feet, 72 percent of the 20,000 square foot
requirement.
The applicant has submitted a proposed landscaping plan (see Exhibit I) for the new home. It
does not, however, show existing vegetation. The Shoreland regulations require that the
applicant show existing trees to be saved and which will be cut. It appears to be possible to
save the cluster of oak trees on the south side of the site. The landscape plan should be revised
to show existing trees on the site and should include protection measures per the advice of a
registered landscape architect or certified forester.

Re: Haymaker, Mark
C.U.P. and Setback Variance
12 July 1995
RECOMMENDATION
Based upon the preceding analysis a conditional use permit and some type of setback variance
should be favorably considered. It is further recommended that the applicant be required to
submit a shoreland impact plan designed to save the existing oak trees on the site. The plan
should minimize site grading on the south side of the property and should address an erosion
problem along the old retaining wall along the westerly shoreline.
Some modification of the proposed building plans may be necessary and desirable. In this
regard, the applicant should consider additional outdoor recreational space (deck or patio)
besides the porch shown.
Finally, there is evidence that the site has been substantially filled. The shoreland impact plan
. should include soil tests for the building pad.

Attn: Patty
To the Planning Commissioner, Mayor, and City Council,
I would appreciate your consideration for a variance to make reasonable use of my property
located at 4300 Enchanted Drive, Shorewood, MN.
Special conditions that exist due to the shape, size and proximity to Lake Minnetonka which
makes the building site very restricted to a average size livable dwelling.
I have done everything possible to keep the variance necessary to minimum.
Again, I appreciate your consideration of my request.
Sincerely,

RE: Zachary Woods - Revised Road Plan
FILE NO. 405 (95.09)
As you may recall the Zachary Woods plat was allowed to create two lots which access
Galpin Lane, a private road. After considerable discussion the plat was approved, subject
to the developer widening Galpin Lane to 20 feet (the minimum width for a fire access
road), obtaining the necessary. easement and joining in on the future maintenance of the
road. This widening was only required to extend easterly to the driveway of the
easternmost lot in Zachary Woods, a distance of approximately 190 feet.
To reduce costs Brent Sinn now proposes to widen the road for a distance of only 90 feet
as shown on Exhibit A, attached. We have been advised that some residents on Galpin
Lane favor this change for aesthetic reasons.
From a planning perspective, it is strongly recommended that this request be denied.
Neither the cost or the aesthetic consideration should outweigh the safety aspect and the
serious potential precedent such an approval would set. As Shorewood continues to fill
up, the City will increasingly be confronted with requests to subdivide land in a piece -meal
fashion, with increasing demand for access which does not meet City standards.
The City's approval of the development of this property was considered to be a very
reasonable solution for both the property owner and the Galpin Lane residents. It is
recommended that the original conditions of that approval be adhered to.
If you have any questions relative to this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me prior
to Monday night's meeting.

Re: Recommendations for the Issuance of $1,920,000 General Obligation Water Revenue
Bonds, Series 1995A
We respectfully request your consideration of our recommendations for the issuance of the
above - referenced issue according to the attached Terms of Proposal.
The Water Revenue Bonds are being issued pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 444 and
475. Proceeds will be used to finance the construction of water utility improvements involving
Boulder Bridge and Badger Field. The composition of this issue is as follows :
Project Costs $1,946,560
Costs of Issuance 24,640
Allowance for Discount Bidding 28,800
Less: Prepaid Assessments 8( 0.000)
Total Water Revenue Bonds $1,920,000
Attached as Appendix I is the recommended maturity schedule for this issue. The bonds have
been structured with even annual principal payments over a 15 -year term. This results in
declining annual debt service requirements, as shown in Column 6 of Appendix I. The Water
Revenue Bonds will also be dated November 1, 1995 and mature each February 1 from 1997
through 2011. The first payment on these obligations will be due August 1, 1996 in the
estimated amount of $70,761. This payment will be made from net revenues of the water utility
generated in 1995. The next payment will be a principal and interest payment due February 1,
1997, also payable from 1995 net revenues of the utility. This payment sequence will continue
throughout the life of the Water Revenue Bonds.
In addition, the City will pledge special assessment against benefited property. Special
assessments totaling approximately $1,217,000 of principal are expected to be filed in
November of 1995, for first collection in 1996. The assessments will be spread over 15 years,
requiring equal annual payments of principal and interest with interest charged on the unpaid
balance at a rate of 7 %. The assessment income is estimated to be approximately $135,000
SAINT PAUL, MN • MINNEAPOLIS, MN - BROOKFIELD, WI OVERLAND PARK, KS - WASHINGTON, DC • IOWA CITY, IA
t
each year and will be used to reduce the annual net revenue requirement by the water utility
used to pay debt service. We have not made any projections of prepayments or delinquencies
and are assuming for all structuring purposes that assessments will be collected as scheduled.
Allowance for Discount
We have included in the bond amount an allowance for underwriter's discount of $28,800 or
1.5% of the principal amount of the bonds. The discount provides the underwriters with all or
part of their profit and /or working capital for purchasing the issue and permits them to reoffer
the bonds to the investing public at a price of par. The City has successfully used the discount
bidding approach in the past, and in our experience, allowing discount bidding results in lower
interest rates than requiring underwriters to bid par or a premium.
Prepayment Provision
We also recommend that bonds maturing in the years 2006 through 2011 be callable by the
City as early as February 1, 2005, and any date thereafter, at a price of par plus accrued
interest. This call feature will allow the City to refinance the issue should future circumstances
warrant such a course of action. The call provision should have no adverse impact on the
marketability of the bonds.
Rating
We recommend that the City request a rating from Moody's Investors Service for this issue.
The City is currently rated "Al" by Moody's. We will assist the City in providing Moody's with
the necessary data upon which they will make their rating analysis. Moody's will bill the City
directly for the rating.
Book Entry
We recommend the bonds be issued as "book entry only" obligations through the Midwest
Securities Trust Company of Chicago. Under the book entry system, the holders of the
obligations will not receive printed bonds but will have only a record from the broker /dealer
stating they are held by the depository. The use of the book entry system eliminates all costs to
the City for printing physical bonds. Although the bonds are issued in book entry form, which
also eliminates the need for the registrar, we recommend the City retain a registrar for a
nominal fee to send the City reminder notices indicating the date and amount of the payments
coming due and to act as an intermediary with the depository, should the need arise. We can
assist the City in the process of selecting a registrar.
Federal Reimbursement Regulations
The U.S. Treasury has enacted reimbursement regulations to regulate issuers who wish to
issue tax - exempt bonds to recover costs of prior expenditures. The reimbursement regulations
require that if the issuer proposes to reimburse itself for expenses they paid prior to receipt of
bond proceeds, it must have made a declaration of that intent within 60 days of the actual
payment of the expense. There are exemptions for architectural and engineering fees and
miscellaneous start -up costs. It is our understanding the City is aware of these regulations and
has taken the necessary action to comply with the federal reimbursement regulations in regard
to this issue.
Page 2

Bank - Qualified Obligations
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 restricts the ability of banks to deduct tax - exempt interest as a
carrying expense under certain circumstances in calculating their tax liability. However, the Act
allows certain bonds to be qualified bonds which can be included in a bank's calculation of
interest deduction. That qualification is reserved for municipalities that will issue less than
$10,000,000 of tax - exempt debt within a calendar year. The City does not expect to exceed
this $10,000,000 limit in 1995, and therefore this issue will be bank - qualified. This qualification
will help the marketability of the issue.
Secondary Market Disclosure
The Securities and Exchange Commission has finalized amendments to its Rule 15c2 -12 which
prohibits broker - dealers from underwriting municipal securities of $1 million or more unless the
issuer has agreed in writing to provide annual disclosure of financial and operating information
and to disclose material events when they occur. This Rule is effective for issues underwritten
on and after July 3, 1995.
The agreement with the underwriter and bondholders, or the "undertaking," as it is called in the
Rule, must be incorporated in the bond resolution or a separate disclosure agreement and in
the final Official Statement. The undertaking obligates issuers to prepare and file with all
nationally recognized municipal securities information repositories ( "NRMSIRs ") annual updated
financial and operating information and the annual audited financial statements, with certain
exceptions as described below. As of now, there are five NRMSIRs.
The Rule uses the information in the final Official Statement as the benchmark for data to
include in the secondary market disclosure report so that information provided in the Official
Statement must be revised annual. The Rule exempts the following securities from the
requirements to provide annual financial information and material event notices:
(i) securities with an aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000,000; and
(ii) securities sold in denominations of $100,000 or more, if the securities are sold to 35 or
fewer sophisticated investors, or have a maturity of nine months or less.
(iii) Additionally, securities with a stated maturity of 18 months or less are exempt from the
annual financial information requirement but not the material events notice requirement.
(iv) Securities for which neither the issuer nor any other party committed to support all or
part of the payment of debt service, is committed to repay more than $10,000,000 of
outstanding municipal securities, including the current offering must make material
events notices but may obligate themselves only to limited continuing disclosure.
The obligation in (iv) is not effective until January 1, 1996. The City can meet the exemption
described under item (iv) above. Therefore, the City is not required to comply with the SEC
Rule for this issue.

Federal Rebate - Arbitrage
Rebate
All tax - exempt bonds are subject to federal arbitrage regulations, including rebating arbitrage
profits to the U.S. Treasury. Generally speaking, all arbitrage profits (the yield difference
between the earnings on the investments and the yield on the obligations) must be rebated to
the U.S. Treasury. There are some exemptions to this rebate requirement which include:
(i) A small issuer exemption if the obligations are for governmental purposes and the issuer
reasonably expects to issue not more than $5,000,000 tax - exempt obligations during the
calendar year.
(ii) A six -month exemption if all of the proceeds of the obligations are expended within six
months of issuance of the obligations.
(iii) An 18 -month expenditure test if at least 15% of the proceeds are expended within
6 months, 60% within 12 months and 100% within 18 months.
. (iv) A two -year expenditure test if at least 75% of the proceeds of the issue are used for
construction and if 10% is expended within six months, 45% within 12 months, 75% within
18 months and 100% within two years.
For items (iii) and (iv), if it is reasonably required that a retainage be maintained to enforce the
completion of a contract, up to 5% of the proceeds may be retained for an additional 12
months. Net proceeds subject to these expenditure tests include investment earnings on the
original bond proceeds.
The City expects to meet the small issuer test (i) above, and will therefore be exempt from
reporting and rebate requirements.
Yield Restriction
Debt service funds created to pay debt service on new issues are subject to yield restriction
unless they fall under the definition of "bona fide" debt service funds as described below. Prior
to the 1993 "final' arbitrage regulations released in June 1993, the small issuer exemption had
exempted any debt service funds from yield restriction requirements. The 1993 regulations now
permit only bona fide debt service funds to be exempt from yield restriction. A bona fide debt
service fund is defined as a fund for which there is an equal matching of revenue to debt
service expense with a carryover permitted equal to the greater of the investment earnings in
the fund during that year or 1/12 of the debt service of that year. A debt service fund can lose
its bona fide status if the issuer accumulates too much investment earnings. Since the City will
be making transfers of water utility net revenues from the enterprise fund to the debt service
fund immediately prior to a debt payment, the City should be able to retain bona fide status of
the debt service fund.
Economic Life of Financed Projects
The 1993 final arbitrage regulations brought all tax - exempt issues into the calculation of
"economic life." Previously this requirement was only for private activity bonds. The intent of
this requirement is to limit tax - exempt issues which are outstanding longer than is necessary,
thus creating more tax - exempt bonds in the marketplace than are needed. The general safe
harbor for assuring that bonds comply with the regulations is if the average maturity of the
Page 4
City of Shorewood, Minnesota
September 21,1995
bonds does not exceed 120% of the economic life of the financed projects. The bonds are
issued for water utility improvements, which, under the U.S. Treasury guidelines, have an
economic life of 50 years. Since this issue has an average maturity of 8.26 years, it is in
compliance with this regulation.
Bond Sale Procedure
Springsted Incorporated, together with Capital Guaranty Insurance Company, a municipal bond
insurer, will again offer a surety bond service, "Sure- Bid," to underwriters in lieu of putting up a
good faith check in order to bid on the bonds. In addition to allowing underwriters to submit
their bids by mail or telephone, we will also allow them to submit bids through PARITY, an
electronic bid filing process. Springsted has access to the bids via modem and will verify and
tabulate the bids received to determine the winning bid. We have allowed for the use of Sure -
Bid and PARITY in the Terms of Proposal, attached to these recommendations. We believe
that the use of these bidding options may attract more bids for the bond sale, since it reduces
administrative barriers for an underwriter to bid. There is no cost to the City for these services
and Springsted does not have a financial interest in the use of Sure -Bid or PARITY.
We recommend these bonds be offered for sale on Monday, October 23, 1995, with proposals
received at the offices of Springsted Incorporated at 12:00 Noon. After proposals are received,
they will be opened, verified for accuracy, tabulated and then presented to the City Council for
consideration of award at 7:30 P.M. the same evening. Proceeds will be available
approximately 30 days later.
Respectfully submitted,
SPRINGSTED Incorporated /

BOOK ENTRY SYSTEM
The Bonds will be issued by means of a book entry system with no physical distribution of
Bonds made to the public. The Bonds will be issued in fully registered form and one Bond,
Page 7
representing the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds maturing in each year, will be
registered in the name of Kray & Co. as nominee of Midwest Securities Trust Company
( "MSTC "), Chicago, Illinois, which will act as securities depository of the Bonds. Individual
purchases of the Bonds may be made in the principal amount of $5,000 or any multiple thereof
of a single maturity through book entries made on the books and records of MSTC and its
participants. Principal and interest are payable by the registrar to MSTC or its nominee as
registered owner of the Bonds. Transfer of principal and interest payments to participants of
MSTC will be the responsibility of MSTC; transfer of principal and interest payments to
beneficial owners by participants will be the responsibility of such participants and other
nominees of beneficial owners. The purchaser, as a condition of delivery of the Bonds, will be
required to deposit the Bonds with MSTC.
REGISTRAR
The City will name the registrar which shall be subject to applicable SEC regulations. The City
will pay for the services of the registrar.
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
The City may elect on February 1, 2005, and on any day thereafter, to prepay Bonds due on or
after February 1, 2006. Redemption may be in whole or in part and if in part at the option of the
City and in such manner as the City shall determine. If less than all Bonds of a maturity are
called for redemption, the City will notify MSTC of the particular amount of such maturity to be
prepaid. MSTC will determine by lot the amount of each participant's interest in such maturity
to be redeemed and each participant will then select by lot the beneficial ownership interests in
such maturity to be redeemed. All prepayments shall be at a price of par plus accrued interest.
SECURITY AND PURPOSE
The Bonds will be general obligations of the City for which the City will pledge its full faith and
credit and power to levy direct general ad valorem taxes. In addition the City will pledge net
revenues of its water utility. The proceeds will be used to finance improvements to the City's
water utility.
TYPE OF PROPOSALS
• Proposals shall be for not less than $1,891,200 and accrued interest on the total principal
amount of the Bonds. Proposals shall be accompanied by a Good Faith Deposit ( "Deposit ") in
the form of a certified or cashier's check or a Financial Surety Bond in the amount of $19,200,
payable to the order of the City. If a check is used, it must accompany each proposal. If a
Financial Surety Bond is used, it must be from an insurance company licensed to issue such a
bond in the State of Minnesota, and preapproved by the City. Such bond must be submitted to
Springsted Incorporated prior to the opening of the proposals. The Financial Surety Bond must
identify each underwriter whose Deposit is guaranteed by such Financial Surety Bond. If the
Bonds are awarded to an underwriter using a Financial Surety Bond, then that purchaser is
required to submit its Deposit to Springsted Incorporated in the form of a certified or cashier's
check or wire transfer as instructed by Springsted Incorporated not later than 3:30 P.M., Central
Time, on the next business day following the award. If such Deposit is not received by that
time, the Financial Surety Bond may be drawn by the City to satisfy the Deposit requirement.
The City will deposit the check of the purchaser, the amount of which will be deducted at
settlement and no interest will accrue to the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to
comply with the accepted proposal, said amount will be retained by the City. No proposal can
be withdrawn or amended after the time set for receiving proposals unless the meeting of the
City scheduled for award of the Bonds is adjourned, recessed, or continued to another date
without award of the Bonds having been made. Rates shall be in integral multiples of 5/100 or
1/8 of 1 %. Rates must be in ascending order. Bonds of the same maturity shall bear a single
Page 8
rate from the date of the Bonds to the date of maturity. No conditional proposals will be
accepted.
AWARD
The Bonds will be awarded on the basis of the lowest interest rate to be determined on a true
interest cost (TIC) basis. The City's computation of the interest rate of each proposal, in
accordance with customary practice, will be controlling.
The City will reserve the right to: (i) waive non - substantive informalities of any proposal or of
matters relating to the receipt of proposals and award of the Bonds, (ii) reject all proposals
without cause, and, (iii) reject any proposal which the City determines to have failed to comply
with the terms herein.
BOND INSURANCE AT PURCHASER'S OPTION
If the Bonds qualify for issuance of any policy of municipal bond insurance or commitment
therefor at the option of the underwriter, the purchase of any such insurance policy or the
issuance of any such commitment shall be at the sole option and expense of the purchaser of
• the Bonds. Any increased costs of issuance of the Bonds resulting from such purchase of
insurance shall be paid by the purchaser, except that, if the City has requested and received a
rating on the Bonds from a rating agency, the City will pay that rating fee. Any other rating
agency fees shall be the responsibility of the purchaser.
Failure of the municipal bond insurer to issue the policy after Bonds have been awarded to the
purchaser shall not constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery on
the Bonds.
CUSIP NUMBERS
If the Bonds qualify for assignment of CUSIP numbers such numbers will be printed on the
Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect
thereto will constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery of the
Bonds. The CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of CUSIP identification numbers
shall be paid by the purchaser.
• SETTLEMENT
Within 40 days following the date of their award, the Bonds will be delivered without cost to the
purchaser at a place mutually satisfactory to the City and the purchaser. Delivery will be
subject to receipt by the purchaser of an approving legal opinion of Wurst, Pearson, Larson,
Underwood and Mertz of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and of customary closing papers, including a
no- litigation certificate. On the date of settlement payment for the Bonds shall be made in
federal, or equivalent, funds which shall be received at the offices of the City or its designee not
later than 12:00 Noon, Central Time. Except as compliance with the terms of payment for the
Bonds shall have been made impossible by action of the City, or its agents, the purchaser shall
be liable to the City for any loss suffered by the City by reason of the purchaser's non-
compliance with said terms for payment.
SECONDARY MARKET DISCLOSURE
Although the principal amount of the Bonds exceeds $1,000,000, at the time of delivery of the
Bonds, the City will not be obligated with respect to more than $10,000,000 of outstanding
municipal securities, including the Bonds being offered hereby. The new continuing disclosure
provisions of SEC Rule 15c2 -12 do not apply to such small issuers for offerings commencing
prior to January 1, 1996. Consequently, the City is not covenanting to provide annual financial
Page 9
information, notices of certain material events or any other disclosure which might otherwise be
required by SEC Rule 15c2- 12(d)(2).
OFFICIAL STATEMENT
The City has authorized the preparation of an Official Statement containing pertinent
information relative to the Bonds, and said Official Statement will serve as a nearly -final Official
Statement within the meaning of Rule 15c2 -12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
For copies of the Official Statement or for any additional information prior to sale, any
prospective purchaser is referred to the Financial Advisor to the City, Springsted Incorporated,
85 East Seventh Place, Suite 100, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101, telephone (612) 223 -3000.
The Official Statement, when further supplemented by an addendum or addenda specifying the
maturity dates, principal amounts and interest rates of the Bonds, together with any other
information required by law, shall constitute a "Final Official Statement" of the City with respect
to the Bonds, as that term is defined in Rule 15c2 -12. By awarding the Bonds to any
underwriter or underwriting syndicate submitting a proposal therefor, the City agrees that, no
more than seven business days after the date of such award, it shall provide without cost to the
senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded 75 copies of the
Official Statement and the addendum or addenda described above. The City designates the
senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded as its agent for
purposes of distributing copies of the Final Official Statement to each Participating Underwriter.
Any underwriter delivering a proposal with respect to the Bonds agrees thereby that if its
proposal is accepted by the City (i) it shall accept such designation and (ii) it shall enter into a
contractual relationship with all Participating Underwriters of the Bonds for purposes of assuring
the receipt by each such Participating Underwriter of the Final Official Statement.

Re: $1,920,000 General Obligation Water
Revenue Bonds, Series 1995
Dear Mr. Hurm:
We received from Springsted the details on the proposed sale of $1,920,000
General Obligation Water Revenue Bonds by the City of Shorewood. I have been
approving Shorewood's bonds for approximately 30 years.
We have prepared the necessary Resolution for the Council's action on
September 25, 1995, and enclose the same herewith. I am currently in the process
of merging my legal practice with the firm of Kennedy & Graven. Since I will be a
member of that firm on approximately November 1, when the bonds are being
Issued, I have determined that the proper bond opinion would carry the Kennedy &
Graven name rather than Wurst, Pearson, Larson, Underwood and Mertz. Our
current firm will have dissolved by that time, and therefore we have inserted
Kennedy & Graven as the approving attorney.
I am enclosing herewith the proposed resolution for the issuance and sale of
the bonds. David Kennedy of the Kennedy & Graven firm has talked with Tim
Keane, who is your City Attorney, and as far as we know he has no objection to the
Kennedy & Graven firm issuing the opinion. I have previously worked with Al Rolek
and with you in the issuance of Shorewood bonds. I have tried to reach you both by
phone on Friday, September 22, and find you are both out of the office. I will try to

DATE: September 21, 1995
SUBJECT: Minnewashta School Water Tower Site
MEMORANDUM
• The purpose of this memo is to provide information to you relevant to locating the proposed
water tower on the Minnewashta School site.
Action Requested
We are asking that you approve a location for the water tower and authorize staff to
negotiate an agreement with the school district covering the particulars of tower location,
watermain routing, access to the tower, and other pertinent issues. This agreement will be
brought back to you for your approval.
Back rg ound
Refer to attachment A regarding the City's right to construct a water tower on the
Minnewashta School property. At this time, five potential water tower sites are under
consideration, shown as sites 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 on attachment B.
Preliminary subsurface information has been collected and estimated costs associated with
construction of a tower at each site have been developed.
School District Position
The Minnetonka School District favors site 7 as offering the least potential interference to
their operations. Attachment B depicts one potential plan for construction of athletic
facilities and expansion of the school within the boundaries of property now owned by the
school district, as well as residential development of the Skjervold property. It also shows
a portion of the planned Lundgren Bros. development. Previously, the district favored site
4 over sites 2, 3 and 5. They now feel that site 4 would not be acceptable if they purchased
the Skjervold property. In that case, they would likely construct additional athletic fields on
the westerly portion of that property, placing site 4 directly between those facilities and the

proposed soccer field on the north end of the property they now own. Additionally, the
school district is sensitive to locating a water tower in close proximity to current or potential
home sites. The district is opposed to site 3.
Lundgren Bros. Position
Refer to Lundgren Bros.' letter of September 8, 1995, attachment C. This letter states
Lundgren Bros.' acceptance of sites 4 and 7. Subsequently, Lundgren Bros. has indicated
a preference for site 7, in consideration of potential residential development of the Skjervold
property. Site 3 may be acceptable to Lundgren Bros. Sites 2 and 5 are unacceptable to 40 them.
Skjervold Position
Mr. Chris Skjervold has advised that his parents, the owners of the property, are concerned
about locating the tower on sites 3 or 4 due to potential impacts on the value of their
property. Mr. Skjervold has asked for the opportunity to speak at the council meeting.
Proximity to Existing Homes
There is one existing home on Smithtown Road just west of the school parking lot, and four
homes north of sites 4 and 5. Site 7 is 270 feet northeast of the Smithtown Road home.
The closest home to site 4 is 285 feet away, and the closest home to site 5 is 260 feet away.
We have not yet discussed siting of the water tower with these property owners. However,
they have been advised of the council meeting and they may wish to offer their comments
directly to you at the meeting.
Construction Costs
For some sites, alternate routes for access and watermain were investigated. The "A"
alternates are routed southerly through the school parking lot to Smithtown Road.
Attachment D is a listing of estimated construction costs associated with each site. The 'B"
and "C" alternates are routed westerly through the Lundgren Bros. development. The water
tower superstructure and foundation costs were developed by a tower supplier in
consideration of the subsurface information recently developed. Other costs for each site
include access for construction, trunk watermain, lighting, access for maintenance, grading,
and landscaping. Depending on how access is actually achieved and how the watermain is
finally routed, estimated construction costs range from $742,000 to $834,000. The least

costly site is site 3, with access achieved through the school parking lot. The next least
costly site is site 7, also with access through the school parking lot, estimated at $765.000.
The feasibility report estimate was $700,000 and the estimate provided at the September 11
council meeting was $755,000. All figures are exclusive of contingencies.
Recommendation
It is recommended that you approve site 7. This site is favored by the school district and
is the most favorable from a visual impact standpoint to all adjacent properties except the
one on Smithtown Road, just west of the parking lot. However, site 7 is about 270 feet from
the home on this property, which is further than any other site is from its nearest potential
neighboring home. Construction costs for site 7, assuming access through the school parking
lot, are estimated at $765,000, $23,000 more than the least costly site, site 3. Our most
recent budget estimate is $830,000 ($755,000 plus ten percent contingencies).

History of Discussions Regarding
a Water Tower at Nlinnewashta School
5/9/90 Tom Berge, Director of Business Services, memo requesting City to assist
the School District in acquiring property from Hennepin County. City
permission is required to allow the sale to the School District. It is
important the City respond within 4 to 5 days.
5/14/90 City Council passes a required resolution allowing the School District to
acquire the land for school purposes. Because of the time constraints,
minutes show that the Council wished to discuss the use of the property
later. The City passed on its option to obtain the land for public purpose
(i.e. parks, water tower, etc. ).
5/24/90 City Attorney advises the City:
"Assessor's value for the property is $50,000 which would be the
selling price to the School District. Pursuant to Shorewood
Resolution #45 -90, the property was taken off auction list and is
presently being held by the City as `park' land. If we wish to
release it and recommend it be sold to the School District for the
approved value of $50,000, a new resolution will be required. It
will then continue to remain tax exempt land while the School
District holds it for later development."
6/5/90 Tom Ber memorandum to the City of Shorewood states:
"This is the primary open space immediately adjacent to
Minnewashta School. It is available at a very reasonable price.
Future site expansion, if not dealt with now, will likely occur
through condemnation proceedings which is always more
expensive to the tax payers. To the Minnetonka Board of
Education this purchase seems to be a perfect way to-address the
site size problem, to provide a contingency to accommodate future
enrollment growth, and to do so at a very reasonable cost to the tax
payers."
6/11/90 Resolution #50 -90 is passed by the Shorewood City Council requesting
Hennepin County to sell the property in question to the School District.
The meeting was attended by Tom Berge. An excerpt from the City
Council minutes of that meeting is as follows:
"Engineer Norton stated that the property has been identified as
possible site for a water tower.
Stover asked if we can retain one acre and sell 9 acres? Froberg
stated that the property would have to be split and the County
would have to approve this. This would also be true of an
easement.

Re: Water Tower at Minnewashta School
Gagne did not want to hold -up sale of property.
Haugen required that Mr. Berge inform the School Board that the
water tower location was a concern of the Council.
Councilmember Watten felt the water tower should be part of the
Resolution.
Froberg explained that the Resolution should only address the sale
of the property and the water tower site be mentioned in the
minutes.
Motion carried - 4/1 (Watten) on roll call vote."
7/9/90 The School Board passes a resolution resolving that:
"The Minnetonka Public School, at such time that the City of
Shorewood determines need for water tower construction, will make
every effort to respond favorably to a specific request from the City
of Shorewood to construct such a water tower on the Minnewashta
site." 40
An easement could not be worked out at that time because the specific
location of the tower could not be determined.
7/6/93 The Planning Commission approved the proposed
subdivision/combination/ C.U.P. revision for the Minnewashta Elementary
School. The minutes of that meeting state:
"Nielsen pointed out although plans do not exist for location
and access for a future water tower on this property, the City
should consider acquiring the easement for a tower location at
this time."
Working out the easement was not made one of the conditions of the
approval.
Two plans submitted by the School District during the approval processes
indicating a future water tower site acre attached.
7/26/93 The City Council approved a resolution granting a conditional use permit
for the Minnewashta Elementary School expansion. The following quote
is taken from those minutes:
"Stover requested clarification regarding the water tower issue.
Dresel indicated a different location for the water tower at the same
elevation has been proposed. Nielsen clarified that was not
included as a condition, however the School District representatives
indicated the granting of the easement for the water tower will be
formalized as a separate transaction."

Shorewood, MN 55331
Dear Sirs:
93s C 1,1 al The purpose of this letter is to summarize my understanding of the actions taken at the meeting
that took place Wednesday, September 6, 1995 at the Minnetonka School District Administrative
Wayzata Offices and the following field visit to the Minnewashta School site to preview potential water
esota 55391 tower placement sites depicted on Exhibit A and subsequent phone conversation relating to
0n473-1231 same.
The meeting was attended by Lloyd Law, Principal of Minnewashta Elementary School, Ed
DeLaForest from OSM the City of Shorewood Engineer, Gene George from the Minnetonka
School District, John Uban from Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban ( "DSU ") and Terry Forbord,
representing Lundgren Bros. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the impacts of the initial
five proposed water tower sites and to provide Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban parameters for the
preparation of conceptual site plans of the Minnetonka School District property taking into
consideration the impact that each proposed site may have on the future use of the property
(including expansion of the school building itself). In a spirit of cooperation Lundgren Bros.
agreed to hire and pay DSU to develop the concept plans. During the office meeting a new
alternative (Site 96) was identified by Gene George on behalf of Tom Berge of the Minnetonka
School District. Apparently alternative Site #6 is an acceptable alternative for the School
District. However, this alternative is quite close to a home on Smithtown Road. At the meeting
much discussion took place about the pros and cons of each site alternative. Notes were taken by
John Uban in preparation for drawing of the concept plans.
Immediately following the office meeting the group went to the Minnewashta School site to
review the proposed site locations which had been field located with stakes by OSM. During the
field visit the following decisions were made by the group:
1. Site 91 was eliminated from consideration.
2. Site #2 was eliminated from consideration.
3. Site #3 remains the same and is the preferred site by the City of Shorewood, but is strongly
opposed by the Minnetonka School District.
4. Site 94 is still an option and is acceptable to Lundgren Bros., the School District and may be
acceptable to the City. However, there is concern what impact it may have on the Skjervold
property, which is immediately east of Site 94. As part of the analysis DSU will prepare a
concept plan of the Skjervold property to ascertain how close the proposed structure may be
if the Skjervold property ever develops. Lundgren Bros. will also pay DSU for this
additional work.
September 8, 1995

5. Site #5 was eliminated from consideration.
6. New alternative Site #6 was eliminated.
7. New alternative Site #7 was identified and appears to be acceptable to all parties.
Ed DeLaForest was going to let Jim Hurm, Shorewood City Administrator, know of the groups
decisions and request soil tests for Sites #3, #4, and #7. These three sites appeared to be the most
viable except the Minnetonka School District is strongly opposed to #3.
Later in the day Ed DeLaForest called me to let me know he had spoken with Jim Hurm and that Jim
did not want to eliminate any sites at this time but preferred to conduct tests and prepare estimates of
each alternative so as to have accurate comparisons for the City Council. I'm not sure if complete
analysis of sewer sites is underway. 0
Lundgren Bros. continues to be strongly opposed to Site 42 and Site #5 and agrees to accept the
School District's concern and position regarding Site 93. Lundgren Bros. preference for water tower
site selection is either site #4 or site #7.
The next meeting of the group is scheduled for September 12, 1995 at 4:00 p.m. at Tom Berge's
office. At this meeting DSU will present the concept plans of the School Property and the impacts
for placement of the water tower.

CITY OF SHOREWOOD
RESOLUTION NO. 95-
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING POLICY REGARDING HOOKUP TO THE
MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM
WHEREAS, the City is responsible to keep the municipal water system in a safe, healthy, and
fiscally sound manner; and
WHEREAS, the Comprehensive Plan calls for the extension of the municipal water system in
phases, over a period of time, thereby making municipal water available to many more properties within
Shorewood; and
WHEREAS, capital expenditures for elevated storage and trunk mains for system
interconnection are a major part of initial expenditures; and
WHEREAS, certain properties currently have municipal water available to them and are not
hooked up to the system; and
WHEREAS, current projections of revenue anticipate a certain hookup rate to the municipal
water system to maintain the fiscal integrity of the water system.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Shorewood
Aat the following policy shall hereafter be effective for:
Those Along Current System Mains:
1. It shall remain the policy of the City to not require hookup to the municipal water
system of those properties which currently have municipal water available to them
but have not hooked up to the system.
Those Along Main Extensions Made During or After 1995:
2. Properties to which municipal water becomes available during or after 1995 shall be
required to hookup to the municipal water system within eighteen (18) months of
water becoming available as determined by the City Engineer.
3. The City Administrator and Finance Director shall prepare a financial analysis of the
system and report to the City Council at or before the first regular council meeting of
September, 1996.
4. Upon review of said system financial analysis, including revenue, expenditure and
surplus fund projections for at least 20 years, and a resulting finding by the City
Council that the system will have sufficient cash reserves to remain in sound financial
condition, the 18 month deadline for hookup to the system may be extended to a date
certain by the City Council.
Those who are eligible for deferral:
5. Hookup to the municipal water system may be deferred by City Council action for
those homestead property owners who qualify under the hardship criteria set forth in
Chapter 903 of the City Code, adopting an assessment policy for the provision of
municipal water.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that in all cases hookup to the municipal water system
shall be required for any property which has municipal water available at the time a well problem would
require a new well to be drilled had municipal water not been available.

CHRISTMAS LAKE ROAD
EMERGENCY ACCESS ROAD
Alternate No. 1 - Existing Condition
The existing emergency access route (E.A.R.) illustrated in Exhibit 1 consists of a 20 -foot
wide bituminous surface approximately 260 feet in length with concrete curb and gutter and
breakaway timber posts at each end. The existing E.A.R. does not provide access for winter
maintenance. The breakaway posts and barrier curb create access problems for smaller
emergency vehicles such as police cars and ambulances. The smaller emergency vehicles
could be damaged when passing through the breakaway posts and may not be able to drive
over the barrier curb during the winter season.
Except for backfilling the existing curb, there are no costs to leave the E.A.R. in its existing
condition.
Alternate No. 2 - Remove Breakaway Post
The alternate emergency access route (E.A.R.), illustrated in Exhibit 2, consists of removing
one of the timber breakaway posts in the Christmas Lake Road cul -de -sac and replacing the
"B6" concrete curb and gutter with a surmountable type of curb and gutter. This alternative
would provide access for street maintenance, but the breakaway posts may create access
problems for smaller emergency vehicles.
Estimated costs for this alternative is $500, primarily to remove the existing "B6 ", the curb,
and install 20 feet of surmountable curb.
Another variation of this alternative would include removing a post at the Christmas Lake
Road and Brand Circle ends of the E.A.R., placing surmountable curb to allow small vehicle
access, and signing at each end for emergency vehicles only. Installation of concrete pavers
that allow growth of turf through voids could provide a hard surface for vehicle access while
giving the appearance of a boulevard to discourage cut -thru traffic.
Estimate costs for this variation of alternate No. 2 is $3,500 where $2,000 is associated with
the concrete pavers.
Alternative No. 3 - Gated Access
The alternate emergency access route (E.A.R.) illustrated in Exhibits 3, 4, and 5 are
variations of gated access. The gates could be locked or unlocked. Provide access to large
and small emergency vehicles with the placement of surmountable curb, as well as street
maintenance vehicles. The drawback to this alternative is that the gates would have to be
opened and closed to provide access.
The estimated costs to furnish and install a vehicle gate with surmountable curb is $800 with
an additional $800 to add a second gate.

Re: Water Contingency and Conservation Plan Proposal
Dear Jim:
As you requested, we have prepared a proposal for the preparation of a water contingency
and conservation plan requirement for the City of Shorewood. This proposal will present
a brief background of why the city is required to prepare a water system emergency and
conservation plan, the sequence for the preparation and approval of these emergency and
conservation plans by both the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the
Met Council, a proposed plan outline and a summary of the data needed to complete the
plan.
Background Information
The DNR requires that each public water supplier serving more than 1,000 people must
submit an emergency and conservation plan by January 1, 1996. This requirement is
mandated by Minnesota Statute 103G.261.
In addition, the Metropolitan Council requires that each community in the seven- county
metropolitan area prepare an amendment to their comprehensive plan for water contingency
and conservation planning and submit this amendment by January 1, 1996. This
requirement stems from the passing of Chapter 186 of the 1993 Legislative Session Laws.
Guidelines for preparation of these plans have been developed by the Metropolitan Council
in conjunction with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The general
requirements of these plans are as follows:
1. Provide a description of the water supply system including water use data, a summary
of supply, treatment and storage facilities, and an evaluation of the system's ability
to meet supply demands.
2. Prepare an emergency plan, including a discussion of alternate water sources,
demand reduction procedures, water allocation procedures, enforcement procedures
and water supply protection.
3. Prepare a water conservation plan, including plans for short -term and long -term
conservation, leak detection and water audit programs, evaluation of water
conservation rates, education and information programs, and retro- fitting programs.

Plan Preparation Sequence
The sequence for preparation and approval of these emergency and conservation plans is
as follows:
1. Prepare emergency and conservation plan
2. Submit plan to DNR
3. DNR reviews plan with input from Met Council is
4. DNR approves plan
5. Prepare and submit comprehensive plan amendment to Met Council
6. Met Council reviews and approves amendment
7. City adopts amendment to comprehensive plan
8. We propose to submit the water contingency and conservation plan to the DNR
within 60 days of receipt of Notice to Proceed.
Proposed Plan Outline
The following is a general outline for the DNR emergency and conservation plan. The Met
Council amendment will include the DNR plan as a reference.
1. Introduction - This section will explain the goals and objectives of the plan.
2. General Background Information - This section will summarize the general
background of the Shorewood Water System. Information to be summarized includes
the following:
A. Name and address of the water system.
B. Population served and number of service connections.
C. Water demand and use information including a breakdown by category.
D. Current sources of water and potential alternate sources.

3. Emergency and Contingency Plan - Plans for responding to emergency situations will
be developed. These plans will include voluntary water reduction methods, as well
as alternate source utilization. In addition, restrictions will be described which may
be enacted during severe emergency situations. Enforcement procedures will be
established for dealing with non - compliance with restrictions.
4. Water Conservation Plan - An assessment of potential long -term conservation
practices and their impact on the Shorewood Water System will be prepared.
Potential feasible alternatives will be identified. Conservation goals will be
established.
Required Information
Information which the City will need to supply for the completion of the emergency and
conservation plan is as follows:
1. Water pumping records from the wells and water treatment facilities for the past 10
years.
2. Copies of current DNR Water Appropriation Permits.
3. Water use by category for residential, commercial, industrial, public and other users
for the past ten years.
4. Number and type of service connections. Service connections should be broken down
by residential, commercial, industrial and public connections.
5. General summary of the city's water system including well information, storage tower
information, water treatment facility information.
Much of this information has already been gathered as part of the water distribution system
study undertaken earlier this year.
Compensation
Based on our experience in developing plans for other communities, and our knowledge of
the Shorewood Water System, we propose to develop the water contingency and
conservation plan for a sum not to exceed $6,000.00. We propose to bill the City time and
materials utilized based on our 1995 Fee Schedule.
