This is within budget and recommended. AGENDA ITEM #4A: The Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of a conditional use permit to allow the builder to bring in approximately 300 cubic yards of fill for a new home at 6100 Cathcart Drive. AGENDA ITEM #4B: Lundgren Bros. Construction proposes to assemble three parcels of land west of the Minnewashta Elementary School for residential development. In doing so they ask that the City raise the Comprehensive Plan density from 0 -1 units per acre on the property to 1 -2 units per acre. This is an informal discussion which requires no official action, but is intended to provide the developer with direction. AGENDA ITEM #4C: This amendment to the Zoning Code relaxes the design standards for parking lots in City parks. Curbing, paving and striping would be allowed to be delayed or possibly waived altogether. The Planning Commission recommended approval on a 5/0 vote. AGENDA ITEM #4D: The Zoning Code amendment which provided fee incentives for senior housing (park and sewer charges) was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission, but never officially adopted by the City Council. Staff recommends approving as a "housekeeping measure ". AGENDA ITEM #4E: MnDot and the MTC propose to build a park and ride lot, using the old Burger King parking lot, in conjunction with reconstruction of the Vine Hill Road intersection. The use is consistent with Shorewood zoning and the proposed Transportation Chapter in the Comprehensive Plan update. Staff recommends approval subject to conditions. A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - APRIL 25, 1994 COUNCIL MEETING Page 2 of 2 AGENDA ITEM #5: Cellular One has requested approval to change antennas which are currently located on the southeast area water tower. The City Engineer is satisfied with the structural aspects of the change. Assuming the Council is comfortable with the aesthetics, staff recommends approval. AGENDA ITEM #6: Dawn Christesen has requested the City's help in stopping cars from trespassing across her property at 6075 Brand Circle, to go around the closed portion of Christmas Lake Road. Staff recommends fencing and issuance of a right -of -way permit to allow a physical barrier in the right -of -way adjoining the closed portion of the road. AGENDA ITEM #7A: Included in the packet is the needs analysis regarding filling the vacant Light equipment Operator position. The analysis concludes that the position should be filled. AGENDA ITEM #7B: Should the Council concur that the Light Equipment Operator should be filled, a motion would be in order authorizing the hiring of the top candidate for the position. We ask that the Council approve hiring Candidate #2 should Candidate #1 not pass the additional requirements (reference check, background check, drug test and physical evaluation). AGENDA ITEM #9: There are no policy issues to be discussed at this meeting. AGENDA ITEM #11: The Mayor has asked that the request for the donation of $1,000 to the 1994 4th of July celebration in Excelsior be placed on this agenda for reconsideration. A full Board is expected to be present. WORK SESSION Immediately following the regular portion of the agenda, the Planning Commission will join the City Council in work session format to discuss the Land Use Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. A chapter summary will be distributed at the meeting. CITY OF SHOREWOOD COUNCIL CHAMBERS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING 5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD MONDAY, APRIL 11, 1994 7:00 P.M. MINUTES 1. CONVENE CITY COUNCIL MEETING The meeting was called to order by Mayor Brancel at 7:03 p.m. A. Pledge of Allegiance B. Roll Call Present: Mayor Brancel; Councilmembers Benson, Lewis and Stover; Administrator Hurm, Acting Engineer DeLaForest, Attorney Keane, Planning Director Nielsen, and Financial Director Rolek. Absent: Councilmember Daugherty. C. Review Agenda Benson moved, Stover seconded to approve the agenda for April 11, 1994, amended as follows: remove Items 3.A. and 3.C. from the Consent Agenda and place on the Regular Agenda, replace postponed Agenda Item 9. with: Vine Hill Road /T.H. 7 Construction Agreement, and consider Item 7. before Item 6. Motion passed 4/0. D. Presentation to Howard Stark e l Mayor Brancel presented a plaque to Howard Stark, upon his retirement effective April 1, 1994, in appreciation of his 10 years of dedicated service to the Public Works Department of the City of Shorewood. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES City Council Regular Meeting - March 28, 1994 Lewis moved, Benson seconded to approve the Regular Council Meeting minutes of March 28, 1994, amended by adding a sentence to paragraph 2, page 5, following sentence 6, (under Review of Shorewood Park Foundation Bylaws): "McCarty said she would investigate methods to avoid dominance when a minimum quorum exists." Motion passed 4/0. 3. CONSENT AGENDA Mayor Brancel read the Consent Agenda for April 11, 1994. #Z. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 11, 1994 - PAGE 2 Lewis moved, Stover seconded to approve the Consent Agenda and to adopt the Resolution and Motions therein: A. Motion Approving Donation of $1,000 to 1994 4th of July Celebration as Budgeted. REMOVED AND PLACED ON REGULAR AGENDA. B. Motion to Approve an Extension of Time to File a Final Plat to October 31, 1994. Robert S.C. Peterson 2nd Addition. C. Motion to Approve the Revised Light Equipment Operator Job Description.

Motion to Approve a Temporary Sign Permit. Video Update, Andrew Schmidt, 19465 • Highway 7. Motion passed 4/0. 3.A. MOTION APPROVING DONATION OF $1.000 TO 1994 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION AS BUDGETED Stover stated it was improper for the City to donate tax dollars for such an event and suggested that individual contributions are more appropriate. Brancel stated that $1,000 has been donated for the event for many years because many residents attend and this was the least the City could do to support the event. The event, conducted by the Excelsior Chamber of Commerce, is financed through contributions from the surrounding cities and businesses. Stover reiterated her philosophical objection to donations by the City of Shorewood. Brancel commented on the celebration's funding history and pointed out that • currently the Chamber bears sole responsibility for funding the event and other cities support it with donations. Brancel moved, Lewis seconded to approve a donation of $1,000 to the 1994 4th of July celebration as budgeted. Motion failed 2/2. Benson and Stover voted nay. 3.C. MOTION TO APPROVE THE REVISED LIGHT EQUIPMENT OPERATOR JOB DESCRIPTION Lewis inquired whether the position will replace that vacated by Mr. Stark's retirement from the Public Works Department. Hurm explained the description is for each of the light equipment operators and is updated primarily in light of the American Disabilities Act. Lewis inquired whether an analysis of staffing needs has been conducted. Hurm stated such an analysis has not been conducted in recent months. Lewis indicated while he has no objection to the job description per se, he preferred delaying approval in order to study REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 11, 1994 - PAGE 3 specific needs. Hurm explained that the position to be filled requires an emphasis on mechanical skills in order to fill the current need for this specialty, the hiring process is currently underway and a recommendation for hiring is expected to be presented to the Council at its next meeting. Lewis stated the hiring process should be completed and Hurm agreed to provide a current staff and needs analysis and hiring recommendation at the next meeting. Lewis moved, Benson seconded to approve the revised Light Equipment Operator job description dated April 1, 1994. Motion passed 4/0. 4. PARK - Report by Representative - None. 5. PLANNING - Report by Representative - None. Consideration of a Preliminary Plat. Applicant: Bob Pierce. Location: 25380 Smithtown Road. Nielsen stated the initial application was for a three -lot division, but upon the recommendation of the staff and the Planning Commission, it was modified to two lots and complies with the City's requirements. Lewis moved, Stover seconded to approve the revised preliminary plat application of Robert Pierce, 25380 Smithtown Road, subject to the conditions detailed in Nielsen's April 6, 1994 memorandum. Motion passed 4/0. 7. CONSIDERATION OF AGREEMENT WITH RTB FOR A PARK & RIDE Hurm reviewed the proposed agreement with the Regional Transit Board (RTB) to provide 17 parking stalls in the City Hall parking lot for a Park & Ride. The RTB has agreed to contribute 21% ($26,150) of the cost of lot renovation project plus $2000 for a 200' asphalt trail to be installed to provide access for bus riders. Hurm recommended approval of the agreement subject to the City Attorney's review. Keane pointed out that the RTB's standard contract provides that it shall be held harmless against any claim of liability relating to or arising out of the use, condition, or operation of the Park & Ride. He stated that in the spirit of cooperation, it was requested that the liability be mutually shared between the City and the RTB, however, such a clause was rejected by the RTB. Keane described potential risks associated with the Park & Ride, but pointed out that any claims against the City would be covered by its insurer. Lewis inquired whether a posted sign would absolve the City of liability. Keane indicated a notice can limit the liability, but would not eliminate the liability. Stover inquired whether there was a difference in liability between this arrangement and any other user of the City's lot and whether there are limits placed on its use. Keane stated currently a limitation on its use does not exist and that claims arising from use other than the Park & Ride would REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES • APRIL 11, 1994 - PAGE 4 be forwarded to the City's insurer. Stover inquired whether designation for a specific use is associated with liability and if so, whether it could be negated. Keane explained the City's insurance covers the same risks under any conditions and that the City's treasury would not be jeopardized. Stover expressed concern that the funds received from the RTB for the project vs. the cost of a law suit may not be comparable. During discussion, Hurm pointed out that under a mutual risk agreement, a claim could still increase the City's insurance premium. Nielsen indicated the Comprehensive Plan identifies a Park & Ride as a means of improving the City's transportation service through increased ridership. Keane stated the agreement may be terminated by either party with a 90 -day written notice, under which the RTB funds shall be reimbursed on a pro -rated basis. Lewis moved, Benson seconded to approve the Regional Transit Board Funding Agreement with the City of Shorewood. Motion passed 4/0. IP 6. MOTION TO ACCEPT THE BIDS FOR PARKING LOT RENOVATION AT CITY HALL/BADGER PARK DeLaForest stated bids for this project were rejected last fall due to the high prices received at that time. As requested, the design of the project was reviewed and bids were again requested and opened on March 30, 1994. DeLaForest recommended that the low bid of $105,799.00 received from Hardrives Inc. be accepted. He pointed out that at the City's • option portions of the work can be performed by the Public Works Department and the cost of such work would be deducted from the Hardrive contract. It was noted that the Regional Transit Board will fund 21% of the cost of the renovation which includes a Park & Ride. Benson moved, Stover seconded to accept and award the low bid of $105,799.00 to Hardrives Inc. for parking lot renovation at City Hall/Badger Park (City Project 93 -1). Motion passed 4/0. 8. CONSIDERATION OF RIGHT -OF -WAY PERMIT Applicant: V.A. Hidding Location: 5885 Strawberry Lane Brancel announced the case. Nielsen stated the owner was advised last fall not to build a large masonry mailbox structure in the public right -of -way in front of his home. Nonetheless the structure, located about 6" from the black top, was completed this spring. Nielsen circulated photographs of the structure. After consultation with the City Engineer, the Public Works Director, and City Attorney, staff recommends that the application for a right- of -way permit be denied and that the applicant be advised to remove the structure within 5 days because it is a potential safety hazard and public liability problem. Failure to comply would result in removal of the structure at the owner's expense by Public Works. • REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 11, 1994 - PAGE 5 Mr. J. B. Hidding, spoke on behalf of V.A. Hidding, 5885 Strawberry Lane. He stated that to his knowledge he was not advised against building the structure or that a permit was required, until an inspector visited the residence. Hidding stated the structure (which measures 27" D x 19" W x 56" H), is designed to protect the post box from vandalism and to enhance the neighborhood and was built to Postal Service specifications. He inquired whether he could move the structure on to his property and asphalt the City's right -of -way. Nielsen stated because the structure encroaches the public right -of -way, it was recommended that he apply for a right -of -way permit. He indicated, however, the encroachment undermines the roadway and creates a hazard particularly for a snow plow. Following discussion with staff and Mr. Hidding, the Councilmembers supported the staffs recommendation that the structure should be removed because it is a potential safety hazard and creates a public liability problem. It was suggested that Mr. Hidding submit plans for re- locating the structure, paving, etc. to the City's Planning Department for review and consideration. Benson moved, Stover seconded to deny the Hidding application for a right -of -way permit at 5885 Strawberry Lane. Motion passed 4/0. Benson moved, Lewis seconded to grant 10 days for removal of the mailbox structure located at the Hidding residence, 5885 Strawberry Lane, and directed the Public Works Department to remove the structure at the owner's expense, if it is not removed within the time granted. Motion passed 4/0. 9. A MOTION TO APPROVE REOUEST TO CHANGE ANTENNAS ON THE WATERTOWER - CELLULAR ONE - POSTPONED. 9. CONSIDERATION OF VINE HILL ROAD /T.H. 7 CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT DeLaForest described the provisions of agreements to be executed prior to the April 22, 1994 bid letting related to the Vine Hill Road /Highway 7 reconstruction by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT). Cooperative Construction Agreement No. 71828 provides for cost sharing on City sewer and water extensions (100% City), driveway aprons and traffic control (20 %), storm sewer upgrades (20.5% City), and 8% of the City's share for construction engineering, inspection, and contract administration. The sanitary sewer and water extensions are estimated to cost $26,194.00 and will provide service to those properties east of the new intersection and connect the last section of Shorewood on Minnetonka water to the Shorewood system. The City CIP set aside $24,000 for these items. The driveway and storm sewer upgrade costs to be split according to MnDOTs standard formula amount to $19,605.37. Signal Agreement No. 71980 delineates the City's share of the signal light cost at the intersection which is estimated at $6,480.00. The City CIP set aside $39,000 for driveway and storm sewer upgrade and signal light cost. DeLaForest noted that the agreement calls for future maintenance on the frontage road to REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 11, 1994 - PAGE 6 be handled and paid for by Shorewood. Signal maintenance costs will be split between Shorewood and Deephaven. DeLaForest recommended approval of the agreements subject to the City Attorney's review and recommended that the appropriate City officials be authorized to execute the agreements. DeLaForest answered questions. Stover moved, Lewis seconded to approve Cooperative Construction Agreement No. 71828 and Signal Agreement No. 71980 for Vine Hill Road /T.H. 7 Construction, subject to the City Attorney's review, and to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 94-38, "A Resolution Authorizing the City Council. to Enter into an Agreement with the State of Minnesota, Department of Transportation Regarding State Project No. 2706 -175 (T.H. 7 =12)" (including authorizing the proper City officers to execute the agreement). Motion passed 4/0. 10. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR • Mr. Jim Anderst, 201 -2nd Street, Excelsior, stated he owns property at 6020 Chaska Road in Shorewood where he has stored equipment for 3-4 years which has become a problem and he has been asked to move the equipment. He requested that he be placed on the agenda to present a conceptual plan for use of the property before applying for a zoning change to commercial for the property. Anderst described the location of the property which is zoned R -2. Nielsen stated this matter is currently under litigation and that a procedure does not exist whereby Mr. Anderst may come to the Council for conceptual approval. Nielsen reviewed the City's efforts to work with Anderst to resolve this issue. He pointed out that Anderst was advised to apply for zoning action or correct the violation by last Tuesday (04- 05 -94), but failed to do either. Anderst indicated he has made every effort to locate a piece of property to which he could • move the equipment, but has been unable to find a location in the surrounding cities. He stated that equipment has been parked on the subject property for 40 -50 years, that there are other residential areas in Shorewood that have equipment, and the property should be zoned commercial or a permit issued to allow equipment to be parked on his property. Brancel inquired whether it was possible for Anderst to apply for rezoning of the property. Nielsen reviewed the time required for the process and estimated it would be late June before the matter would come to the Council. Nielsen pointed out a jury trial in July was scheduled at the last hearing at which Anderst did not appear. Anderst stated he was not aware of the trial date, but that he has been in contact with the City since he received the violation notice. Nielsen stated the City has not received any response from Mr. Anderst for several months until he received the summons from the court. Following discussion it was the consensus of the Council that Mr. Anderst may consider his options: 1) submit an application to the City for a re- zoning amendment by April 13 and REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 11, 1994 - PAGE 7 the staff will attempt to expedite processing the application, or 2) have the matter resolved through the courts. 11. DISCUSSION ON POLICY ISSUES A. Discussion on Age Requirements for The Seasons P.U.D. Brancel directed the Council's attention to the April 6, 1994 letter from Pete Boyer Construction, Inc., Excelsior. Mr. Boyer requests a change to the minimum age allowed in The Seasons senior housing development from age 62 to 55 years, because it is allowed by law, is desirable to the developer and the buyer, and it would assist older Shorewood residents to remain in the community. jah Brancel noted that a number of advantageous conditions were granted to the developer based on its status as senior housing and that it now appears that the market for the facilities is stronger in the 50 to 60 year age range than in the 62 years and over. Stover stated that the zoning application states age 62 because of the Federal regulations at the 55 year level, this was developed as senior housing under Shorewood's definition and is therefore limited to persons 62 years of age. Stover stated that Mr. Boyer may choose to reapply, based on the area's zoning, and sell the homes to anyone, however, he would relinquish the City's senior housing benefits. Brancel agreed with Stover's statements. Lewis acknowledged that the market for the homes may be greater for those aged 55 years, however, the development was approved for the 62 year age range. Benson agreed any change requires an amendment to the current P.U.D. and that Mr. Boyer may choose to do so. The consensus of the Council was that Mr. Boyer may apply for an amendment to the current P.U.D. to reclassify the development, but that the senior housing advantages related to the current P.U.D. would be relinquished if the P.U.D. is amended. B. Discussion on Participation in Goose Round -up Mr. William Rissmann, 5905 Sweetwater Circle, described the problem caused by a flock of about 50 geese that nest on Silver Lake and cross 5 or 6 residential properties on Sweetwater Curve to feed near an adjacent pond. He requested that the City of Shorewood give its permission to Professor Jim Cooper, University of Minnesota, to remove the geese and to fund the $500 cost. (Details outlined in Mr. Rissmann's March 31, 1994 letter to Mr. Hurm). Hurm stated that Rhonda Keene, 6125 Chestnut Terrace, telephoned on behalf of a number of neighbors in the area who do not want the City to give permission for the goose roundup, but would like further information on the program. A survey of 13 cities showed that 9 do not participate in such a program. Four cities do participate with various restrictions (survey detailed in Teri Naab's April 1, 1994 memorandum to Mr. Hurm). REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 11, 1994 - PAGE 8 Mr. Rissmann stated he is willing to facilitate a meeting of the neighborhood residents to discuss the matter to find a solution to the problem. Mr. Randy Betcher, 19655 Sweetwater Curve, reiterated the concerns expressed by Mr. Rissmann and expressed concern about the offensive odor of the droppings which remains even after droppings are removed. He inquired how the City will handle a similar problem that will be created by the current development of Silverwood Park where children will be walking and playing adjacent to a nesting area. Lewis acknowledged that a problem may be created, however, he stated that removal of the geese is not a permanent solution. Following discussion, it was the general consensus of the Council that while it was sympathetic to the problem, it did not favor the program and opposed granting permission and funding a goose round -up because: 1) based on experience, the relocation program does not work, 2) the geese are part of the rural atmosphere of Shorewood, 3) some residents strongly object to removal of the geese, and 4) the majority of surrounding cities do not have • removal programs rendering any program in Shorewood futile. It was noted that Council permission is required for a privately- funded removal program, therefore, any proposal that may result from the neighborhood meeting would require Council review. 12. ADMINISTRATOR AND STAFF REPORTS A. Wood Duck Circle - Street and Street Light Hurm directed the Council's attention to City Engineer Dresel's letter dated April 6, 1994 and attachments prepared in response to concerns expressed by a resident at the March 28 Council meeting, regarding the condition and status of Wood Duck Circle. Hurm reviewed the history of the road. A physical review of the road indicates the re -built portion next to County Road 19 is in excellent condition, a pothole on Country Road 19 needs repair, and the remainder of the roadway is in average to poor condition. Therefore, Public Works and Engineering recommends that the roadway remain under consideration for reconstruction IP but not on a priority basis. Following discussion, the Councilmembers concurred with the staff recommendation. It was noted that while the concerned resident indicated a need for street lights on Wood Duck Circle, a petition has not been received to date. B. Report on Technology Review Hurm directed the Council's attention to the document "City of Shorewood Strategy for Technology Use" dated April 1994, prepared by Hartley Associates. A detailed plan will be presented at the next meeting which Mr. Hartley will attend. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 11, 1994 - PAGE 9 C. Recommendation on MWCC Litigation Keane requested the Council's direction relative to the recommendation that the City appeal the District Court's decision that it did not have jurisdiction over the City's dispute with the MWCC and referred it to the Court of Appeals. He reviewed the appeal process which would take about 60 -90 days and would cost approximately $5,000- $10,000. Mayor Brancel recessed the meeting at 9 p.m. and reconvened at 9:12 p.m. The Council discussed the appeal recommendation with Mr. Keane. Concerns and questions raised: Would the appeal succeed? What are the City's options? If the City prevailed in the appeal, what is the likelihood that the MWCC would appeal that decision? Would the issue be tied up in the Courts in long -term costly litigation? The Council agreed to continue its consideration of the appeal and litigation in executive session at its next meeting. 13. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL REPORTS Lewis commented on the work in progress by the Public Works Department at Silverwood Park and suggested that adequate direction and supervision over the project be provided to ensure that the plans for the Park as approved are being complied with. 14. ADJOURNMENT TO WORK SESSION SUBJECT TO APPROVAL OF CLAIMS Mayor Brancel stated that the work session will be re- scheduled due to the absence of Councilmember Daugherty. Benson moved, Lewis seconded to adjourn the City Council meeting subject to approval of claims at 9 .22 p.m. Motion passed 4/0. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED, Arlen H. Bergfalk Recording Secretary TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial ATTEST: BARBARA J. BRANCEL, MAYOR JAMES C. HURM, CITY ADMINISTRATOR . . . . . Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. mID flD ! ,; MEMORANDUM April 19, 1994 To: Shorewood City Council From: Bruce Chamberlain, RLA Park Planner Re: Approval of contract for Silverwood Park Improvements and Freeman Park Trail, Project #PK-4-94. Five bids (see attached bid tabulation) were submitted to the City for the April 14 bid Jpening. Bids were requested for the Base Bid and Add Alternate #1 which includes applying a green color coating to the ~ basketball court. The Landscape Architect's estimate for the Base Bid was $59,626 and $1,300 for Add Alternate #1. The low bid was submitted by Expert Asphalt for a Base Bid amount of $54,913.30 and $1,000.00 for Add Alternate #1. Expert Asphalt meets the bid requirements. References from prior projects have been contacted with favorable responses. Expert Asphalt has been in business as a paving contracting company for many years but has previously not had general contracting experience. Recently, Mr. Mark Meyerhoff has joined Expert Asphalt and brings with him extensive experience as a general contractor and project manager in city park projects. Mr. Meyerhoffwill act as Project Manager for the Silverwood/Freeman Park project. Mr. Meyerhoffs references have also been contacted with favorable responses. Based on the favorable bid amount and the experience of the Contractor, it is recommer.ded that the City Council approve Expert Asphalt as the General Contractor for City Project #PK-4-94. It is also recommend that the City accept Add Alternate #1 as part of the project. This item improves the appearance of the bituminous surface, reduces heat generation in the summer sun and extends the life of the pavement. I will be at the City Council meeting to answer any questions you may have. In the mean time, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. ~3 Land Use / Environmental · Planning / Design 7300 Metro Boulevard / Suite 525 · Minneapolis, Minnesota 55439 · (612) 835-9960 · Fax: (612) 835-31EO .

SHOREWOOD, MINNESOTA 55331-8927 · (612) 474-3236 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council FROM: Brad Nielsen . DATE: 31 March 1994 RE: Worth, Bill - C.U.P. for Fill in Excess of 100 Cubic Yards FILE NO.: 405 (94.04) BACKGROUND Mr. Bill Worth has applied for a conditional use permit, pursuant to Se:ction 1201.03 Subd. 8 of the City Code, to place approximately 300 cubic yards of fill on his property, located at 6100 Cathcart Drive (see Site Location map - Exhibit A, attached). . The property measures 153' x 587' and contains approximately 89,811 square feet of area. Mr. Worth proposes to place the fIll, as shown on Exhibit B, in conjunction with construction of a new house. ANALYSIS/RECOMMENDATION The conditional use process for fill permits is primarily intended to inform area residents of what is proposed and to trigger engineering review of the grading plan. The City Engineer has reviewed the request and has provided recommendations in the attached memorandum (Exhibit C). Given the relatively small amount of fill and the large lot size, the fill permit is considered appropriate. Approval is recommended subject to the City Engineer's recommendations. cc: Jim Hurm Joel Dresel Bill Worth Joe Pazandak A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore ~A' (I) . ... ~h ~ 4o~ k.,.. ~~:. ~. ~ ~~ TRACT A q (I) ~ (18) __ 'HJL. ~1._ --1!!....Ot. 113 111 11~ II:!! lo.e / I!: 1 3f~ (II) ~) ,,-- . / .)

RE: My review of the grading plan on the referenced parcel does not reveal any item which would preclude building on the site as planned, subject to the following comments: . 1. The culvert under Cathcart must not be obstructed. Also, the owner should be aware that some ponding probably occurs from time to time in the southeast corner of the property. A culvert should be placed under the proposed driveway to allow ditch flow along Cathcart Drive. We recommend an 18" diameter culvert, depth permi tting . The owner should be aware that the driveway will probably act as somewhat of a dam, and will be very subject to freeze-thaw cycles. 2. 3. The driveway should be constructed at right angles to Cathcart Drive for 20 feet. 4. As a general note, it has been our experience that the groundwater is quite high in this area of the City, and precautions should be taken during construction to prevent a wet basement.

COUNCI L Kristi Stover Rob Daugherty Daniel Lewis Bruce Benson . CITY OF SHOREWOOD 5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD. SHOREWOOD, MINNESOTA 55331.8927 · (612)474-3236 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council FROM: Brad Nielsen DATE: 29 March 1994 . RE: Lundgren Bros. - Preapplication for Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment FILE NO.: 405 (94.05) BACKGROUND Lundgren Bros. Construction, Inc. has asked that the City amend the Proposed Land Use Plan element of its current Comprehensive Plan to allow a higher density of residential development on approximately 73.5 acres of land, located on the north side of Smithtown Road, just west of the Minnewashta Elementary School (see Site Location map - Exhibit A, attached) . . The property consists of three parcels, of which 42.7 acres exists as designated wetland. The current Land Use Plan classifies the subject property as "semirural residential", with an allowable density of 0-1 unit per acre. The developer requests a land use classification of "low density residential", which allows 1-2 units per acre. Pursuant to Shorewood's Comprehensive Plan Amendment Guidelines, the developer has submitted information for the Preapplication Stage review of the process. His request and considerable background information are set forth in the attached "Proposed Land Use Guide Plan Amendment for Ledin/Wartman/Minnewashta School Property of Shorewood, Minnesota", dated 1 March 1994., AMENDMENT PROCESS 1. PUIJ>ose. Exhibit B, attached, is an excerpt from Shorewood's Comprehensive Plan Amendment Guidelines, setting forth the purpose of the guidelines. The text identifies five circumstances under which Comp Plan amendments are considered: A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore '-1& . ,~.", ','," . .. ~ . '(-;" .;-" . -,.:',.... ',~ .'?....... _ -." ~; '~i '," ~._.~: .( -..:.-">;,\... "'>":', ~;_~!:~'1"~' ",;'\/",";#'- Re: Lundgren Bros., Inc. Preapp-Comp Plan Amendment 29 March 1994 A. The developer's amendment does not identify issues which were not addressed in the original plan. The review of their proposal should, however, examine an issue not adequately addressed in the Comp Plan - city water. B. The Concept Plan proposed by the developer schematically provides more detail to the current Comp Plan. This circulation concept is specifically consistent with the proposed Transportation Chapter of the Comp Plan update currently being studied by the City. . C. The developer's amendment request is based upon his plan for developing the property . D. It is doubtful that the amendment responds to changes in community needs, attitudes, etc. E. The only change in law impacting this property is the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991. II. Preapplication Stage. Shorewood has adopted a two-step procedure for the review of Comp Plan amendments: 1) preapplication stage; and 2) formal application. The preapplication stage is intended to provide adequate background information for initial evaluation, and for the developer to meet informally (no public hearing) with the Planning Commission and City Council to: . "(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Familiarize the Planning Commission (and City Council) with the proposal. Review required information and identify any additional information necessary for proper request evaluation. Refer to appropriate Commissions and outside agencies. Provide direction for the applicant (e.g. indication of priorities, etc.). Set Public Hearing date. (First regular meeting after the formal application is received, allowing time for legal notices.)" The developer should not expect a yes or no answer to the preapplication stage of the review. Rather, through the discussions with Planning Commission and-Council, issues should be identified, and a general indication should be given as to the merits of his proposal. Any direction to proceed with a formal application should also identify any additional information which the City feels is necessary to properly evaluate the request. - 2 - Re: Lundgren Bros., Inc. Preapp-Comp Plan Amendment 29 March 1994 If, based upon the City's initial reaction to his proposal, the developer decides to pursue the amendment, he would next make a formal application which involves public notification, a public hearing and higher scrutiny of the proposal. ill. Planning Process. Amending the Comprehensive Plan follows the same process as the original Plan. A. Issue Identification. One of the most important parts of the preapplication is identifying, not necessarily resolving, issues related to the development request. Solutions would typically be part of the formal application. . Staff has identified several issues which need to be addressed as part of this request: 1. City water. Shorewood' s current policy is to allow private development to obtain water in any way it can (e.g. private wells, extension of existing water systems - Shorewood's or others, private central systems, etc.). That policy is currently being reconsidered as part of the Comprehensive Plan update. The direction given to staff is to develop a plan for achieving a city-wide water system within 10 years. Part of recent discussions has been a requirement that all new development be required to connect to the City's existing system. . This issue is complicated by capacity problems in the Boulder Bridge system. The City Engineer will discuss, under separate cover, possible solutions to this problem. Also related to City water is the possible future location of a water. tower immediately east of the subject property. It is likely that an access road to the tower site will be required as part of the development of the subject property. It is also extremely important that any future residents of the development be specifically advised of the City's intent to locate the tower. 2. Wetland protection. In addition to the City's existing wetland regulations, new development must contend with the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 (WCA 91). The developer has had WCA 91 wetlands delineated (see Site Conditions graphic - Figure 3). The developer should be prepared to demonstrate how his proposal for higher density will better protect the' wetlands on the site. - 3 - Re: Lundgren Bros., Inc. Preapp-Comp Plan Amendment 29 March 1994 3. Lot size/density. The developer should explain in greater detail why his proposed density is necessary, versus the existing zoning. In other words, why can't he develop the site at one unit per 40,000 square feet? This will be discussed more under goals and policies. 4. Traffic. From a planning perspective the impact of increased traffic from this development is minimal on Smithtown Road and Cathcart Drive, both of which are collector streets. Residents to the south have, however, already complained of traffic increases from new development to the north and west. . B. Background Information. The developer has submitted the required information for preapplication stage review. One item which needs to be clarified is density calculation. Shorewood's land use designations are based upon units per40,000 square feet rather than a full acre. Also, the 40,000 square feet is a net area which subtracts designated wetlands and ~treet right-of-way from the total area. Based upon the developer's net area of 27.8 acres, the current land use plan would allow up to 30 lots. . C. Policy Planning. This request is timely in that the City is in the middle of updating its Comprehensive Plan. It is recommended that both the existing and the updated goals and policies be considered in the review of the Lundgren Bros. proposal. In this regard, the Planning Commission has discussed the following: 1. The advantages of planned unit development. 2. Allowing increased density only with increased support facilities (e.g. city water). 3. Tying increased density to enhanced. affordability . The Planning Commission has expressed a reluctance to increase density except to ensure affordable housing options. The City Council has yet to review that position. 4. Requiring greater preservation and/or reforestation of development sites. - 4 - Re: Lundgren Bros., Inc. Preapp-Comp Plan Amendment 29 March 1994 D. Plan Amendment. The actual amendment necessary to accommodate the developer's proposal is a change to the Proposed Land Use plan map from Semirural Residential (0-1 unit per acre) to Low Density Residential (1-2 units per acre). As discussed in recent Planning Commission study sessions, the area would also be highlighted as recommended for planned unit development. E. Implementation. The zoning action necessary to accommodate the developer's proposal would be to rezone the property to a planned unit development district. Given the configuration of the site, P. U.D. is considered the best way to develop the property, regardless of whether the density is increased or not. .

PURPOSE . .. Recognizing that planning is an ongoing process and that the City's Comprehensive Plan requires periodic xeevaluation and update, the" purpose of this policy is to create guidelines for thorough and consistent City review and adoption of proposed amendments to the Shorewood Comprehensive Plan. These guidelines establish general requirements as to how the Plan is to be amended and who may initiate such an amendment. An applicaeion process is contained herein which sees forth the minimum information required for City review and a means for collecting the necessary fees to cover any costs incurred by the City in processing a request for amendment. Finally, an administrative procedure is established to provide a step-by-step schedule to ensure an orderly and expedient review by City Staff, affected Commissions, City Council, affected residents and affected outside agencies. A~endrnents to the Comprehensive Plan may be proposed to accomplish the following: A. Address issues which were not addressed in the original plan. B. Provide more detail to the original plan. C. "Respond to development requests. . D. Respond to changes in community needs, attitudes, etc.. E. Respond to changes in the law (e. g. the Metropolitan Land Planning Act). It is the intent of these guidelines that amendments to the Compre- hensive Plan follow the same general planning process and procedure used in the initial review and adoption of the Plan.

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this application is to provide the Shorewood Planning Commission and staff with details of a proposed Land Use Guide Plan Amendment from semi-rural to low density residential for approximately 31 developable acres and 43 wetland acres. III. GENERAL STATEMENT OF DEVELOPMENT INTENT Lundgren Brothers is considering developing approximately 73.5 gross acres of land located at the intersection of Cathcart Drive and Smithtown Road. The property has a distinctive single family characteristic, and lies generally north of Smithtown Road and west of Minniwasta School. . Lundgren Brothers has been developing quality neighborhoods throughout the west metro suburbs for over twenty years. Lundgren Brothers strives to create neighborhoods that express uniqueness within the community while supporting the high qualities of surrounding neighborhoods. Their subdivisions also reflect the extreme care taken in working with the natural environment and using the natural characteristics of the area to create a distinctive neighborhood. This approach to land development assures the city of high quality homes in an area where individual remnant parcels try to subdivide in a haphazard fashion with uncoordinated results. Lundgren Brothers is in the process of assembling three individual parcels to form a unified neighborhood. One is surplus property belonging to Minnewasta School and the other two are private residents of the area, Mr. Ledin and Mr. Wartman. Without this type of assemblage, high quality coordinated development would not be possible. Additionally, other properties in the area will benefit from the improvements because new public roads and utilities will be developed that can serve adjacent properties. This will provide for the orderly redevelopment potential of other adjacent properties. In addition to the development, over a quarter mile of Smithtown Road frontage will be dedicated as open space with preservation covenances to protect the natural setting all along Smithtown Road. Overall the process will develop a very environmentally sensitive and pleasing addition to the city of Shorewood. While the details of the potential development proposal have yet to be submitted to the city, we have carefully studied the development constraints and have reached the conclusion that the best possible ... . . . . arrangement of open space, utilities, road access and coordinated planning of many different parcels should take place through a PUD process. To accompany this process we are requesting an amendment to the comprehensive plan from semi-rural to low-density residential. This allows for the successful clustering and adjustment of lots due to the irregular shapes and configurations of parcels, and adherence to environmental restrictions for subdivisions. Additionally, the site is primarily open pasture and does not presently contribute to the wooded character of the community. In fact, we anticipate that many more trees will be planted on the site after development than existed in its agricultural state. Upon reviewing the Lundgren Proposal, we invite you to visit other Lundgren developments and speak with the communities in which they are located. Lundgren Brothers constantly strives to successfully build neighborhoods that strengthen surrounding neighborhoods and provide excellent housing in each of its home communities. IV. EXISTING GUIDE PLAN AND LAND USE The Comprehensive Plan also shows that the 73.5 acre parcel is shown as semi-rural in the 1981 Shorewood Comprehensive Plan. Surrounding the property on the north and west sides are a significant amount of wetland that separates this parcel from adjacent neighborhoods. The neighborhood to the west is low density, with 20,000 sq. ft. lots while the neighborhoods north of wetlands are semi-rural large lots adjacent to Lake Minnetonka. To the east is Minnewasta School, with its large holding pond and proposed water tower adjacent to the site. The southern edge of the property abuts Smithtown Road at several points where access for a public road loop can be constructed. A vast majority of the area along Smithtown Road will be held in permanent open space to protect the general character of Smithtown Road and adjacent neighborhoods to the south. The land directly south of the parcel and south of Smithtown Road is guided for low density, one to two units per acre. The land has been developed into 40,000 sq. ft. lots consistent with the one unit per acre guiding. The subdivision of that land also had to respect complicated drainage issues and wetlands. If all the wetlands were used to calculate density, the Lundgren Proposal would only be .5 units per acre. For the 73.5 acres, Lundgren Brothers is proposing approximatelyj6 to 38 lots. Overall, this density is much less than one unit per acre, however, the net density when removing the wetlands consolidates the density to 1.2 units per acre. It is this clustering and adjusting to the specific site, with its complicated access and assemblage issues, that requires a PUD. Generalized concept and detailed calculations accompany this narrative in plan form. V. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT The Lundgren proposed single family development will produce a density of approximately 1.2 units per acre. In order to accomplish this through the PUD process, we request a change in the comprehensive plan to low density allowing the development at a 1.2 units per acre density, which is within the guide plan constraints of one to two units per acre. There are several reasons why this makes good sense for this specific piece of property. 1. This guiding allows a creative planning process to take place to join together and assemble separate parcels that would not normally develop as a unified neighborhood. , .... . . It would also give the opportunity, because of the loop road system, for other adjacent properties to subdivide in an orderly fashion. This will make the development more efficient for the city to serve and at the same time provide for the spacious character that the city already enjoys. 2. Open space of over 3 acres of upland, which is 10% of the net developable land, will be kept as open space in association with the wetland in the most visible parts of the property. This open space will be concentrated along Smithtown Road and upland areas within the wetland system. These very attractive areas will have a significant impact on maintaining the spacious character of the city and assuring existing residents that the natural amenities of the area will be protected. 3. The proposed change in density will not negatively impact the overall density of the city. The 1.2 units per acre is well within the average density of the city and supports the consolidation of development so that the surrounding environmentally sensitive areas will be maintained and preserved for the enjoyment of the whole community. 4. The proposed areas are in an area of transition next to the Minniwasta School with its large buildings, parking lot and field activities. The school also has a very large, open storage basin used for water retention, adjacent to the proposed subdivision. The city is proposing a new water tower on the school site to complete the public water system to adjacent properties. The subject property contains a large amount of the open space to the north and west that buffers adjacent areas. Also, by maintaining open space along Smithtown Road, the city collector will maintain a rural character with the development of the Lundgren neighborhood. 5. The proposed subdivision and change to the comprehensive plan will aide in protecting the environment by identifying and working with wetland systems not defined on the city's wetland map. These wetlands will be incorporated into the overall design and maintained for water purification and natural habitat. Furthermore, the lots will be served with a sanitary sewer, minimizing the potential impact on water quality in the area. The land is primarily unwooded except for rows of trees along property lines which will be generally maintained as buffers to adjacent areas. Trees will be replanted as part of a development creating an overall improvement to the tree cover for this area. Also, the farming activities, plowing of the fields and the application of fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides will be eliminated. Normal residential activity will take its place and soil erosion will be minimized upon completion of the built subdivision. 6. The lotting pattern that is necessary to complete the looped road system supports an increased efficiency in land utilization. In order to effectively work with the environment and link the adjacent properties, this road and lot pattern helps to concentrate development to help minimize construction impacts and long term use of the land. This will create a stronger tax base and provide a better land pattern for supplying city services to new and existing residents. 7. Lundgren Brothers continues to improve its building product as it develops land and builds homes. Through innovation and energy efficient design, Lundgren Brothers provides a traditional home that meets the modern criteria for energy efficient design. 8. Because the development is separated from Smithtown Road by several existing homes, ~ . . . . most of the subdivision will not be directly viewed by many of the adjacent properties. Additionally, the land along Smithtown Road will be maintained as open space to buffer the long views of development. With the surrounding wetlands and the school property to the east, any sense of density will be well filtered through these existing conditions. This property stands on its own, separated from adjacent areas through natural features and property location. Any change in density from the existing 1 unit per acre to the proposed 1.2 units per acre will not have a negative impact on the overall community and neighborhood. 9. A traffic comparison was conducted based on the one unit per acre and the proposed 1.2 units per acre. The 1 unit per acre would develop 296 trips per day and the 1.2 units per acre density would develop 355 trips per day. The difference is 59 trips with the peak hour trip difference being approximately 6 trips during that hour. That would mean an additional one car per ten minutes during that peak hour on Smithtown Road. This difference in traffic is basically unnoticeable on the city's collector road system. This small amount of traffic will not create any impact on the city's transportation system. It should also be noted that all this traffic enters on Smithtown Road via public streets with proposed entrance features and appropriate site distances for safe turning movements. This development would not propose any additional lots directly fronting out onto Smithtown Road which would cause conflicts during the peak hour to the normal commuting traffic. The Lundgren development is designed specifically to improve traffic conditions, with its loop road system and exclusion of driveways onto Smithtown Road. VI BENEFITS TO THE CITY Overall the city will benefit with a well-planned neighborhood instead of individual plats developed at different times with different owners and builders. This coordination serves the city very well in community planning, and the assessing and collecting of appropriate fees. The comprehensive plan amendment would generate more fees for the city in the form of park dedication, utility assessments, and future taxes. Additionally, approximately the same amount of road will be serviced and maintained by the city, adding some efficiency to day to day operations. The proposed Lundgren subdivision will complement the character of Shorewood and reflect the characteristics of adjacent neighborhoods while protecting the natural environment and creating an attractive neighborhood that could be easily maintained to perpetuate a strong tax base for the city. This balancing and good planning is a direct benefit to the city and supports the proposed comprehensive plan amendment. . Ill::t 0) - Ill::t .

Learning Today for Success Tomorrow FilE COpy Mr. Brad Nielson, City Planner City of Shorewood 5755 Country Club Road Shorewood, MN 55331 Re: :Mlimewashta Lundgren Development . Dear Mr. Nielson: As you are aware, Lundgren Brothers Construction purchased approximately lOA acres ofland from Minnetonka Schools in the fall of 1993. In selling the property to Lundgren, the district felt the proposed development was consistent with the quality of homes desired by the City of Shorewood and, therefore, would enhance the quality of the neighborhood in which Minnewashta school is located. In addition, the plan appears to be environmentally sensitive to the surrounding wetland areas and will protect the natural setting along Smithtown Road. . The rated capacity of Minnewashta Elementary School is 600 students with a 93-94 enrollment of 566 students. Assuming homes in the Lungren development have the district average of .9 children (ages 0 - 21) per household, it is anticipated the development will have approximately 10 to 15 elementary age students, therefore not materially impacting the enrollment of Minnewashta Elementary.

With good planning and excellent development of quality Lundgren Brothers homes, we believe this assemblage of property can be developed to the City's benefit at a residential low density rate of 1.3 units per acre. e (1) The City of Shore wood will benefit from a proposed efficient layout of streets and lots on the assembled parcels. In addition to the assessment contribution of benefitting properties to help bear the burden of a future city water system, the yearly taxes generated from the proposed plan will provide an estimated $16,000.00 of additional taxes to help with the maintenance of public facilities, although no additional facilities would have to be built to accommodate the additional proposed lots. (2) A change in the comprehensive plan to allow slightly more density on the property will encourage a developer to assemble the properties and create a loop road, instead of individual subdivisions created by each landowner with either private driveways or dead end cul-de-sacs. (3) The proposed comprehensive plan amendment would also offer the potential of utilizing excess property from adjacent lots to further improve the existing neighborhood properties along Smithtown Road. (4) The City will benefit from the proposed development through the creation of a permanent conservation easement over one mile of wetland edge. This enhanced environmental control, which does not exist on most wetlands in the city, is a direct benefit to future water quality of the wetland. . . " Shorewood City Council April 21, 1994 Page 3 (12) The Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the low density residential designation is wise because extremely low urban (sewered land within the MUSA) densities of 0.5 units per acre gross or 1 unit per acre net are counterproductive to metropolitan urban service strategies. Very low densities create urban sprawl, inefficient utilities, roads, and services, resulting in higher public costs. (13) The development allowed by the assembly of all parcels provides the City with continuity of the neighborhood which is far more disirable than each parcel developing on its own. (14) The price of land in Shorewood coupled with increased development costs due to the environmental considerations and the assessments for the proposed water facilities, render these parcels economically undevelopable without increasing the density to allow for 36 units. Without increasing the density, Lundgren Brothers cannot develop this site. Sincererly, DAHLGREN, SHARDWW, AND UBAN, INC. V \ uiL-bA~ C.

SHOREWOOD, MINNESOTA 55331-8927 · (612) 474-3236 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission FROM: Brad Nielsen DATE: 3 March 1994 . RE: Reduced parking Lot Standards for City Parks FILE NO.: 405 (parks) The City Administrator has requested that the Planning Commission review the City's zoning regulations as they relate to parking lot standards for City parks. From a costlbenefit perspective there are three provisions in the Zoning Code which should be reviewed: 1) paving; 2) curbing; and 3) striping. While these provisions are extremely important for other types of nonresidential development, they add enormous public cost to park development where the use of the parking lot may be relatively limited. For example the estimated cost of parking lot improvements for Freeman Park exceeds $200,000. . While it is not recommended that these requirements simply be ignored or completely amended out for City parks, it is suggested that language could be included in the Code to provide greater flexibility. A paragraph (p) could be added to Section 1201.03 Subd. 5.d.(6) to the effect: "(P) Surfacing, curbing and striping required by paragraphs (k), (1) and (n) above may be waived or delayed for parking lots in City parks, provided that traffic, dust control, parking demand, vehicular control and proximity to residential development are taken into consideration. " If the Planning Commission is agreeable to such a change, we will schedule a public hearing to consider the proposed amendment. cc: Jim Hurm Joel Dresel Tim Keane A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore +.G. .. . . -DRAFT- CITY OF SHOREWOOD ORDINANCE NO.

DATE: 21 April 1994 RE: Vine Hill Road/Highway 7 Intersection - Proposed Park and Ride FILE NO.: 405 CPR (Transportation - Mass Transit) In its acquisition of land for the Vine Hill Road/Highway 7 intersection, MNDOT is left with two remnant parcels adjoining the new intersection. One of the parcels, the former Burger King property, is quite large (see Exhibit A). Together with the MTC, MNDOT proposes to overlay the old Burger King parking lot for use as a park and ride location. The proposed parking lot is shown on Exhibit B. Public parking is listed as a permitted use in the.C-3, General Commercial zoning district. Further, the Transportation Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan Update identifies park and . ride lots as one way of enhancing mass transit service in the community. The proposed lot is consistent with Shorewood's zoning standards. As such, staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions: 1. The lot must include perimeter, barrier-type curbing. 2. Lighting must comply with Shorewood Code requirements. The lighting plan is subject to City approval. 3. The facility will be maintained by the MTC. 4. Landscaping will be recommended by the City and installed by the MTC, upon completion of the intersection. cc: Jim Hurm J eel Dresel Tim Keane A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore 4~.

Area Water Tower FILE NO.: 405 (89.31) We have received the attached letters, dated 17 March and 23 March 1994 from Cellular One to replace the existing antennas located on the southeast area water tower. The antennas and the equipment shelter at the base of the tower were installed pursuant to a conditional use permit granted in February, 1990. The C.D.P. anticipated occasional changes to the antennas to keep current with technology. Due to concerns over aesthetics and structural integrity, staff has directed these requests to the City Council for approval. . The City Engineer is satisfied with the structural aspects of the change. Assuming the Council is comfortable with the aesthetics, staff recommends approval of the request. cc: Jim Hurm Joel Dresel Tim Keane Ted Broich A Residential Ccrnrnurit;/ on L2k:? /~,1inne;.or;,<d'(;S,~' .'t'~;,>'l]i-'? ~.5 " " . :. ,~ .~.:i.',.,:":'~- . .....:.:;..'.?-~;. ,;&1" To: City of Shorewood c/o OSM and Associates-Mr. Joel Dresel From: Ted BroiC~ Date: March 23, 199V Subject: Antenna Mounts for Cellular Antennas on Shorewood Water Tower . Based upon the attached letter from tvlax Thompson, you are informed of Cellular One's request to change its existing antennas on the Shorewood water tower to a different type during the month of April. In order to install the new antennas, we will need to adapt antenna mounts to accommodate them. Like all of our previous installations on your tower, we are suggesting that we work with you and our engineering firm, Ulteig Engineers of Minneapolis to insure that our installation meets the City of Shorewood's criteria. The new antennas and any mount material will be painted to match the exterior of the water tower in order to maintain the aesthetics of the tower. . Upon your approval, coordination and access into the tower could be arranged by us through Mr. Don Zdrazil for the City. Mr. Zdrazil has been very good to work with on our past projects together and, we would certainly like to work with him again. I intend to be meeting with Ulteig Engineers about the proposed installation on Wednesday, April 6. Should you or someone from the City wish to join us for this meeting you are welcome. Should you have any questions regarding the antenna installation please contact me at PH: 865-9977. Thank you Joel for your continued assistance and cooperation. It IS always a pleasure working with you and the City of Shorewood.

Please be advised that McCaw Cellular Communications, Inc. (dba Cellular One) has made a decision to upgrade to a new generation of radio electronics inside our equipment shelter in Shorewood, and throughout the State of Minnesota. As a result of the in-shelter change, we must also change 2 of the 3 sets of antennas on Shorewood water tower (one top set, and one side set). Since the new antennas we need to install are almost identical in appearance and size to one of the existing top-mounted sets, we do not feel this change is significant enough to need full city review. We believe Shorewood can reasonably grant written approval based on your analysis and approval of the attached documentation. Post-installation inspections can document our adherence to approved plans if necessary. . The new antennas are Celwave model PD-I0200, and will replace Decibel model DB-833 's. The new antennas are only 6 pounds heavier than the DB-833, but less than half the weight of the existing top-mounted PD-10177's. Like the PD- 10177's, the new antennas are also easy to paint. The new PD-I0200's are only 8 inches longer than the PD-I0177's. Attached are pictures and data sheets on all three models. Please use all attached information to verify that Ted's described mounting scheme will meet your engineering specifications. We also ask that you write a letter to Shorewood city officials approving our plan, and requesting written approval for our project without the requirement of city meetings if possible.

CITY OF SHOREWOOD 5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD · SHOREWOOD, MINNESOTA 55331-8927 . (612) 474-3236 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Brad Nielsen . DATE: 20 April 1994 RE: Christesen, Dawn - Traffic Encroachment Problem FILE NO.: Property - 6075 Brand Circle Ms. Dawn Christesen has asked the City to help her resolve a problem with cars cutting across her lawn to circumvent the closed portion of Christmas Lake Road (see Site Location map - Exhibit A, attached). As pointed out in her letter, dated 31 March 1994, the encroachment is sporadic and often happens late at night or early morning, making it difficult to catch someone in the act. . While extension of the curb along the east side of Brand Circle may deter casual trespassers, it would not likely deter someone with a four-wheel drive vehicle who is determined to cut through from Mill Street to Christmas Lake Road. It appears that only a physical barrier will effectively keep people from straying off the street. A fence is likely the cheapest solution for the property owner. A split rail fence, for example, is relatively inexpensive and in keeping with the area. While a fence may keep people off the Christesen property, there may still be those who will drive on the grass between a fence and the paved surface of the road (the boulevard). There are two possible solutions to that problem. One is to allow the fence to be extended from the Christesen property to the closed off section of street (see Exhibit B). The other would be to strategically place large landscape boulders between the fence and the pavement. Fencing would likely be the cheapest solution for the homeowner. A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore '* JJ.. . . Re: Christsen, Dawn Traffic Encroachment Problem 20 April 1994 Ordinarily we would not recommend that fences or landscaping encroach into the right-of- way. However, since the road is closed except for maintenance and emergency vehicles the encroachment would not pose a problem or interfere with pedestrian traffic along Christmas Lake Road. It is recommended that the Council favorably consider granting the homeowner a r.o.w. permit to place the boulders or fence in the right-of-way as shown on Exhibit B.

Christmas Lake Road borders our property line and eight years ago the city of Shorewood constructed a cul-de-sac on this road which prevented thru traffic. Posts and curbing were placed about 150 feet apart, one set at each end of our lawn. (See diagram) Since this was built we have been having problems with vehicles driving through our lawn. This problem has become steadily worse, and the past two years we have noticed a major increase in this misuse of our property. We have attempted to stop this problem by adding make-shift fencing in the form of metal poles, chains, broomstick handles ...just about anything. Nothing to date has proven to be an effective solution. Either the poles are driven right over, broken off, or pulled up, or the individuals driving find another way around, which brings them even further into our lawn. . I've enclosed several pictures of our lawn that were taken just this week. These tracks were made late last summer and are still clearly visible. My concern doesn't just lie with the condition of our yard, but we also have a safety issue that needs to be addressed. My mother is a licensed daycare provider for several children who use our lawn as their play area. The vehicles that use our lawn as a bypass not only do it during the night or early morning, but we have see them doing it during broad daylight as well. On several occasions we have witnessed a vehicle utilizing our lawn while we are out on our front yard. Unfortunately, this doesn't happen every day, or at the same time during the day so we have yet to be able to catch people in action. I'm at a loss for how to solve this problem. We have considered permanent fencing, shrubbery, or a row of pine trees, all of which can become very expensive. The curbing that is presently there as a result of the cul-de-sac has yet to be effective in deterring, or stopping the traffic. We have also debated about putting nails in boards, but for several reasons have held off on that one! I would like to see the council become involved in helping us reconcile this problem. {"t;, . . ,'" I wanted to address this issue now, before it again becomes a major problem in the spring and summer. I will be attending the meeting on April 11 th, and I would appreciate the opportunity to present a more comprehensive and detailed description of the above issue to the council, and also some proposals for a solution. If there is a problem with addressing this issue at that time, please notify me at 474-5884 prior to that date. Thank you for your time.

Apri I I I, 1994 Mayor Barb Brancel and Councilmembers City of Shorewood 5755 Country Club Road Shorewood, MN 55331 "c'i\ i-'\ il~ '. Your Honor and Council: We am writing to support the efforts of our long time neighbor, Dawn Christesen. We originally supported the concept of the dead end! cuI de sac that the Shorewood Council allowed to be installed on Christmas Lane just east of Brand Circle. However, the abomination that was thrust upon the residents of Brand Circle is JUST PLAIN UGLY! Residents of Brand Circle have been told on more than one occasion by real estate agents that the appearance of the cuI de sac has lowered the selling value of their homes. . The family most directly affected has been the Christesen family. Not only do they have to look at the visual offensiveness of the structure, but they have had to put up with people driving cars and trucks through their yard at all hours of the day and night. The Christesen family has worked hard to maintain the appearance of their house and yard. It hurts my wife and me when we see the ruts and tracks left by these trespassers who obviously don't take the intent of the dead end seriously. These acts have an irony to us as we recall all the vehicles (including numerous city and public service.vehicles) ignoring the No Left Turn signs that were there previously. Their acrobatics were a sight to behold! We can understand how frustrated Dawn and her family must be! . While we would never consent to returning to those days of hypocrisy, had we to do it allover again, we would have fought tenaciously until the plan included a structure that was pleasing to the residents on our end of the road. Weare certain that the distinguished residents responsible for installing the cuI de sac would be appalled if they had to look at it next to their properties 24 hours a day. If you don't think it's that bad, we invite you to come over, inspect it, and picture it next to your residence. In our opinion, the least the City should do, is install quality landscaping (at city expense) that will effectively screen the Christesens' view of this eyesore while preventing vehicles from using their yard as an offroad rally site. That should have been done from the outset. Thank you for the opportunity to voice our opinions 1 We hope that you will consider the situation and do what is morally right.

Even when adding two members to the department, which is what is expected if we did not contract with Munitec, our ratings are acceptable. Keep in mind Deephaven and Minnetrista do minimal utility maintenance so they should also be adjusted. INCREASE IN ACTIVITY Over the last 4 to 5 years, since the seventh person was added to the Department, City growth and unfunded mandates have affected the productive capacity or increased the workload demand on the Department. The following items have been identified as additional tasks or mandates added since that time: Training: . Inspections: Recycle: O.S.H.A. : Hazardous Waste: Parks: . Private Property: Record Keeping: A.W.A.I.R.E. Program (accident prevention) Right to Know Program (handling hazardous materials) Drug Program (D.O.T. drug screening) Sewer, tree, weed licensing and certification Gopher State utility locations (daily) Commercial vehicle certification (annual) Street excavation Sealcoat and overlay projects Daily vehicle inspections Drawing and follow-up (weekly) Regulation, compliance, and follow-thru Regulation compliance New facility construction and maintenance Daily garbage pick-up More dragging of ballfields Increase in clean up and storage requests Time for specific jobs Daily vehicle inspections Annual vehicle inspections Driver qualification files Maintenance & Plowing on Streets/Cul-de-sacs Added: Broms Blvd (frontage road), Strawberry circle, Waterford Court, Peach Circle, Deer Ridge, Koehnen Circle City Hall Over-head Light Repairs Departmental Meetings with Administrator (monthly) Monitor & Administer Sewer System Flushing Program OTHER ITEMS TO KEEP IN KIND . The other cities we compare ourselves to are normally contiguous. Shorewood is unique in that you must travel through other cities to get to sections of Shorewood. We are 1 mile by 6 miles, all but cut in half by Excelsior. We travel to the Islands and must go through Chanhassen to get to portions of Shorewood. . Shorewood is known for its excellent snow plowing operation. It works well when typically six are plowing and one is in the shop. There is always something that is "down" or needs attention. Reducing the number from 7 to 6 would clearly affect the efficiency of our plowing operation. . The Department, structured as it. is, allows us to do several projects at once. A street patching crew should have at least 4 persons to be most effective. One employee is responsible for parks. But many tasks are done by one or crews of 2 or 3. The "specialty area" of mechanic, which we are filling with this hire is important because a majority of that person's time is spent fixing and maintaining equipment used by all. These special skills are important. (See the "specialty Area Descriptions" attached.) . . When priorities can be rearranged, the crew is able to "save" project expenditures by doing certain jobs "in-house" rather than contracting. Examples: Vine Hill trail, portions of City Hall parking lot, excavating for park buildings. These acti vi ties would be less likely to be done with one less employee. . Other cities' departments are structured similar to ours. One or more employee is designated as at least a light mechanic who is handy and can fix equipment of many types when it breaks down. Heavy mechanic work is contracted out. . . Public Works is ranked high in our ci tizen satisfaction survey. I am concerned that reducing the number of personnel from seven to six (17%) would reduce the satisfaction ratings given us by our citizens. CONCLUSION I find the public works operation to be efficient as currently configured. Not replacing the mechanic specialty would cause disfunction in the short term and reduce effectiveness and satisfaction ratings in the long run as our City continues to grow physically. Filling the position is fully budgeted for. Although I would not recommend increasing the personnel level, I strongly recommend replacing the open position created by the mechanic's retirement. 42194.2 CITY Population Total Employees (Not Director) Assigned to Utilities Assigned to streets & Mechanic Assigned to Parks Local Street Miles Personnel in Plow Operation Park Acres Maintained other Comments CITY Population .al Employees (Not Director) signed to Utilities Assigned to Streets & Mechanic Assigned to Parks Local street Miles Personnel in Plow Operation Park Acres Maintained other Comments CITY Population Total Employees (Not Director) ~igned to Utilities igned to streets & Mechanic ssigned to Parks Local street Miles Personnel in Plow Operation Park Acres Maintained Other Comments CITY Population Total Employees (Not Director) Assigned to Utilities Assigned to streets & Mechanic Assigned to Parks Local Street Miles Personnel in Plow Operation Park Acres Maintained Other Comments CHANHASSEN 12,400 18 5 9 4 102 13 425 27 seasonal parks personnel MINNETONKA 49,300 53 12 26 15 249 30 400 ORONO 7,303 9 4 4 1 55 7 10 SHOREWOOD 6,322 7 o 6 1 49 6 40 local mileage does not include State frontage roads that we plow DEEPHAVEN 3,670 4 o 4 o 40 4 3 no utilities MINNETRISTA 3,501 5 5 o 41 5 2 22 miles gravel 19 miles blacktop 13 miles sewer 170 water customers TONKA BAY 1,475 2 o o o 9 2 20 EXCELSIOR 2,380 6 2 3 1 15.5 3 30 maintains beach & downtown MOUND 9,586 9 4 4 1 45 10 35 WAYZATA 3,820 13 4 5 4 30 5 24 + beach maintain beach & downtown, etc April 1, 1994 JOB DESCRIPTION Position: LIGHT EOUIPMENT OPERATOR Ob;ective and Scope The Public Works Department is responsible for a high level of maintenance of City property at the most favorable cost.

Introduction Thc Shorcwood Planning Iavcntory, Deccmber 1977 ifldicated that Based upon the Existing Land Use-1994 map shown on page LU-25 of this Chapter nearly ~ 15% of the land in the community is undeveloped at this time. Additionally, 20 30 % of the land This includes land which exists as residential estate property capable of further subdivision and development. While flot all of this laRd is suitable for development due to wetlands and other restrictions, There still remain limited large tracts of buildable land on which development can be expected to occur. The largest of these undeveloped areas exist in the westernmost third and eastern side of the community. As this vacant land develops, the City must have a guide for how it will be used. . The Land Use Plan is formulated to show logical relationships between a variety of major land use types, including residential, public, semipublic, commercial, and undeveloped open space. Location of various land uses is a result of applying the general planning concepts and the specific policies contained in the Policy Plan. In deciding the amount which is desired of each land use type, several factors are considered: .1. Community Function. The primary role of Shorewood in the metropolitan area has been identified as provision of housing. As such, planning must be geared toward providing a quality living environment with adequate supportive services (i.e. park and recreational facilities, shopping neighborhood convenience commercial areas, etc.). 2. Community Character. Shorewood's current character is primarily single family residential. Shorewood will strive to maintain its character. 3. Development Costs. In the past, large lots were necessary to accommodate on-site sewer systems. With the installation of sanitary sewer, the cost of large lot development has increased greatly. Development of smaller lot sizes allows development costs to be spread over a greater number of lots, thus reducing the cost per unit. . 4/94 LU-1 4. 4/94 Variety of Housing. Current residential development in Shorewood consists mainly of single family units. Few housing units are available to young singles, newly married couples or the elderly. The land use plan attempts to establish more variety than currently exists in Shorewood. . . . LU-2 . .' . Land Use Goals and Objectives 4/94 Land Use Goals The City shall establish a pattern of land uses which is consistent with the residential and recreational functions of the community. The land use plan shall promote harmonious relationships between various land uses (e.g. homes, commercial outlets, churches, parks, schools, etc.) through proper development and locational planning. Through land use planning discourage land uses which are inconsistent with the residential and natural character of the community. The City shall promote the development of safe, healthy and affordable housing options. Land Use Objectives 1. A cohesive land use pattern which ensures compatibility and functional relationships among activities is to be formulated and implemented. 2. Community planning and development is to consider the surrounding neighbors, neighborhoods and cities. 3-: Land 1:1S0 alloeatiOflS Me to be balan0ed with economic market demands. Land vlhica is available is to be developed '.villi proper cOflsideratiofl for s1:1ca demands. 3. OveriFltensification of land use developmeFlt, in other '/lords, Development which is not accompanied by a sufficient level of supportive services and facilities (utilities, parking, access, etc.) is to be prevented. ~ Land OR a comm1:1nity as well as S1:1b1:lRit basis is to be properly 1:1tilizeG B:fld eOflserved. LU-3 4. Land uses and environmental quality are to be maintained and where necessary upgraded. . 5. Property values are to be preserved and protected. 6. Community development is to be compatible with features of the natural environment and is to be accommodated without destroying environmental features and natural amenities. 7. Individual neighborhoods are to be maintained and where necessary, strengthened in character, while at the same time improving and reinforcing community identity. 8. A creative approach (as opposed to "traditional" subdivision design) to the use of land and related residential development is to be encouraged. 9. Commercial development shall be safe, convenient, attractive, and acccssible commcrda:l dC'lclopmcflt is to bc available for city residents consistent with the residential character of the community. ~ Ba:lanced commcrcial activity ..vhich is viable and l'CSj)onsi';c to the flccds of the commtlflit)" afld stlrfOundiflg ma-rkct area is to be maintaifled. -& ~\ sotlfld tax base for the City is to be pursued.

H-:- Comm1:lnity idefluty is to be improved and reinforced. 10. Establish a consistent approach to the development of fragmented land parcels which encourages cooperation between landowners and provides for access and utility service which complies with City standards. 11. Develop a senior housing program which: a. Allows seniors to remain in their single-family homes. b. Provides a range of housing types, including step-down housing, senior apartments and assisted living housing, with initial emphasis being placed on step-down housing. c. Establishes regulations which permit the construction of affordable senior housing while ensuring compatibility with existing residential neighborhoods. d. Identifies suitable sites for senior housing. . 4/94 LU-4 . . . 4/94 e. , Establishes methods to ensure control over suitable senior housing sites. f. Assists financially in senior housing projects to ensure affordability and enhance compatibility with existing developments. g. Identifies and participates in support services for the elderly, e.g. transportation, social and recreational facilities, home maintenance and repair. LU-5 . . . Land Use Issues Undeveloped/Underdeveloped Land A limited number of vacant parcels remain to be developed in Shorewood. Despite land use patterns having been relatively well established, issues will undoubtedly arise concerning intensity, compatibility and environmental impact. More challenging than developing the remaining large parcels is coordinating the development of small parcels to avoid the adverse effects of piece-meal subdivision. Discrepancies Between Land Use Plan and Existing Zoning The Comprehensive Plan prepared in 1981 resulted in the rezoning of several areas within the community, primarily to make zoning consistent with existing development. Zoning which allowed higher densities of residential development or changes in land use to implement the City's land use plan has been done on a case by case basis in conjunction with specific development requests. This approach to rezoning should be reexamined to determine if the land use plan would be better implemented through City-initiated zoning for cenain propenies. Housing Variety/Affordability Shorewood has served, over a long period of time, as a residential community with the tradition of single-family homes. While some variety of cost and lot sizes has been achieved over the past several years, the lack of affordable housing options presents an area of concern. The City needs to explore ways to encourage development of affordable housing. Senior Housing Like most communities Shorewood is faced with an increasing elderly population. A Study of Senior Housing Needs, prepared by the City in 1991 indicates a lack of 4/94 LU-7 senior housing options (style and affordability) for those who can not, or choose not to, stay in single-family homes. This issue is compounded by the limited amount of suitable land (i.e. . size, zoning, availability of services, etc.) remaining for development. What land does " . remain is rapidly being absorbed by development. Lake Access As a result of the 1981 Comprehensive Plan, two lake access issues were addressed. The City conducted a study relative to the use of existing fire lanes, which concluded with a decision to keep, but regulate, fire lanes for neighborhood use. Secondly, the City adopted regulations penaining to existing marinas. Recently the LMCD and the DNR have agreed upon a goal of locating 750 parking spaces associated with lake access to Lake Minnetonka. While Shorewood has provided a minimum number of parking spaces on Christmas Lake, some Lake Minnetonka communities have taken issue with the fact that Shorewood has no public access to Lake Minnetonka. . . 4/94 LU-8 . . .

Concept Plan The Policy Plan which. has beeR preliminarily adopted by the City Policy plans contained in each chapter of this Plan establish goals, objectives and policies which create a basic and fundamental foundation for development of the community. These adopted principles therefore serve as an initial reference guiding community or neighborhood district planning and improvement. The next reference point is the Concept Plan. The Concept Plan forms the basis from which categorical elements of the Comprehensive Plan are developed. In other words, the plans for environmental protection, land use, transportation and community facilities will grow out of the concepts set forth in this section of the document. The physical development and design concepts are derived from the established goals, 'objectives and policies and an assessment of the community's function within the context of the Metropolitan Area. . The primary function of Shorewood is the provision of housing and a leisure time environment. Likewise, the function of most adjacent lakeshore communities is similar, making it somewhat difficult to differentiate between one community and another. In addition to the similarity in basic function, irregular boundaries and geographic configuration compound the difficulty of identifying each individual community. Shorewood's lack of a "traditional downtown" and Excelsior's strong identity in that regard further add to the problem. . In recognition of these problems, Shorewood has adopted as one of its goals establishing an identity and sense of community. For the purpose of this report, a community is defined as an entity possessing a common likeness or character. Since the basic character of Shorewood is that of a residential community, it is essential that each residential neighborhood be maintained as a unit with a sense of continuity and focus. Moreover, as certain supportive services and facilities are required in order for a residential community to function properly and adequately, nonresidential uses should be likewise maintained. In other words, proper attention to each constituent part of the community is essential to the establishment of an identity or sense of community. 4/94 LU-15 Relative to the function and goals of the community, the overall plan concept for the City of Shorewood is the development of the community on a district or neighborhood basis. While . a neighborhood can be considered as much a social entity as a physical area, for planning purposes these neighborhoods or planning districts have been determined based upon natural divisions and/or physical barriers. So, for the purpose of this report, neighborhood and planning district may be used interchangeably. The map on the following page shows Shorewood divided, for planning purposes, into fOl:1fteca twelve districts. In order to enhance or reinforce the sense of community identity in Shorewood, it is essential that constituent planning districts within the City are provided with a sense of continuity and focus. An internal continuity within each district is desirable as each neighborhood should relate well within itself as well as to adjoining neighborhoods and the. entire community. Within residential districts, it is proposed that neighborhood parks ranging in size depending on the circumstance serve as the focus or unifying element. This concept is illustrated in Concept Sketch Number One in the following pages. Furthermore, in terms of overall circulation within each neighborhood district, it is essential that major traffic flow border, not penetrate, the district. This is necessary from the standpoint of increasing the safety to pedestrians and bicyclists as well as maintaining the environmental quality of the neighborhood. Within the concept of developing the entire community on a unit or district basis, it is important that individual districts not only have an internal continuity, but also that they relate to one another. In order to relate neighborhood districts on a community scale, it is e. . recommended that community focal points be developed (see Concept Sketch Number Two). Typically, a community would have one central activity center to serve this purpose. However, given the elongated shape of Shorewood, a multiple nuclei concept is proposed. These focal points already exist to a certain extent, but planning for the community should recognize and attempt to enhance these activity centers. The primary commercial focus for the City will be the shopping center 6ft at Lake Linden and Highway 7. Future commercial development in Shorewood should be encouraged to locate in and around the existing shopping center to ensure its economic viability and stability and establish this area as the commercial "core" of the City. Further, residential development around the shopping center should be the highest density considered allowable by the City. The idea of higher density residential surrounding the commercial center serves several purposes: 1) it supports commercial activity; 2) it serves as a land use transition between the intensity of the commercial activity and lower intensity uses (see Concept Sketch Number Three); and 3) provides an area for alternative housing types not now existing in Shorewood. The commercial center should remain easily accessible to all residential districts. The center should also project a unified image with individual components of the center arranged so as to create functional and complementary use relationships. Circulation within the core should be, to the extent possible, largely pedestrian oriented. In order to increase the continuity of the center, while at the same time increasing pedestrian safety, major traffic flow should be routed around the periphery of the center, penetrating it as little as possible. Finally, e commercial property maintenance should represent and reflect the vitality and stability of the . entire community. 4/94 LU-16 . . . The Vine Hill Road/Highway 7 commercial area should be considered, although to a lesser degree, as another commercial focal point. Neighborhood and/or convenience type commercial uses should be encouraged to fill in this area. The aewly proposed City Hall and surrounding City property will be considered another community focal point and serve as the civic center for Shorewood. Development of this area should be representative of community attributes and set an example for private development in the community. Community parks should be developed within the community to serve the recreational needs of the City. Additionally, the proposed Shorewood Trail System will serve to unify or tie the community together. To the extent feasible, priority should be given to the development of this system. A design concept which is to be encouraged in the community is residential clustering. This concept recognizes overall density rather than lot size and can be applied in some fashion to any of the zoning districts. The primary advantage of this concept, and the reason it is considered so suitable for Shorewood, is that it encourages preservation of natural features, such as wooded areas and wetlands, while still allowing efficient and economically advantageous use of land. Sketch Number Four illustrates this concept as applied to wetlands. Planned unit development is a concept which has been incorporated into Shorewood' s existing zoning ordinance and utilized to a certain extent in the past. Advantages of planned unit development are several: 1) the contractual agreement between the developer and the City give the City more total control than traditional subdivision; 2) more efficient circulation patterns can be achieved for a large area than piecemeal development might allow; 3) land use transitions can occur within the site; and 4) natural features can be preserved by functional clustering of units and/or uses. 4/94 LU-19 Concept 1 J l L .

Land Use Plan Land Use Classifications The maps on the following !we pages show Existing Land Use in Shorewood and the Prq>osed Land Use Plan for ffi the community. The Proposed Land Use Plan map shows the proposed juxtaposition of a variety of land use types and densities. These land uses are described in general below. More detailed information and justification are included in the Area Plans section which follows the Community Facilities/Services Plan. . Undeveloped Open Space. Based upon the assumption that all buildable land in Shorewood will eventually be developed in one fashion or another, this category consists primarily of wetlands. These areas are indicated on the Proposed Land Use Plan map as designated wetlands, and are taken from the official Shorewood wetlands map. These areas are scattered throughout the community and range in size from small potholes to the very large tracts of land found near Howard's Point Road and east of Christmas Lake. Protection of these natural areas is considered important, both in terms of ' Shorewood's natural drainage system and retention of community aesthetics. Semirural Low Density Residential. While the City has recognized a need for providing areas which allow a somewhat higher density than one acre lots, there is still a market for large lots. The areas indicated on the Proposed Land Use Plan map consist of land where such development is already prevalent. Overall density is proposed at approximately 0 to 1 unit per acre. Most of the areas proposed as scmimrallow density are adjacent to natural areas such as lakes or wetlands. In this regard, the City must ensure that any changes in density to surrounding areas has a minimum of impact on the lower intensity use. . taw Low to Medium Density Residential. This land use basically consists of single family residential at a density of approximately 1 to 2 units per acre. Most of the area designated as low to medium density residential is already 4/94 LU-23 . . (insert map) Existing Land Use. - 1994 . LU-25 . . . zoned for this type of development. However, some expansion of this land use category is proposed. Areas which are proposed for a change in density from semiI1lral to low density to low to medium density are justified based upon the apparent need for areas in which development costs can be lowered and yet where the spacious character of the community can be maintained. Lo'lI to Medium Density Residential. This category of land use is provided to allow residential development at a density of 2 to 3 units per acre. This density begins to allow a greater variety of housing types. Small lot single family residential, double bungalows, and law medium density townhouse development may be permitted in these areas. Residential development at this density is viewed as serving two purposes: 1) proper location creates a transitional area between lower density residential uses and higher intensity uses such as commercial (see concept plan), and 2) applies the concept of locating a greater density of population nearer to activity centers and major traffic carriers. :Most of the a::reas dcsigna.ted lO'N to medi1:lm dCflsit)" residcntial reflecte1:lffCnt land 1:lSC patterns with the exeeption of tI:lc area. bet'.veen :\.pple Road afl:d Mill Str~t. :Mill Stroot is classified as a miflor arterial and is a direct ro1:lW inte the Excelsior dO'''/ntown. Mcdi1:lm High Density Residential. At 3 to 6 units per acre, this is the highest density residential use proposed for the City of Shorewood. Types of housing allowed in these areas would include higher density townhouse development and potentially small scale apartment or condominium units. The areas proposed for medium high density residential are relatively limited in area and number so as to have a minimum effect on the overall density of the community. These areas include primarily the properties immediately adjacent to the existing commercial uses. Once again the concepts of land use transition and higher density near activity centers have been applied. Semipublic. This land use type includes churches, cemeteries, the NSP property on County Road 19, and the largest area designated semipublic - the country club and golf course located near the center of the community. All areas so designated on the Proposed Land Use Plan map are already in existence. No new areas are proposed for semipublic use, nor are any existing semipublic uses proposed to be eliminated. Public. This classification includes all existing public buildings, schools, parks and recreational facilities in the community.

Commercial. It is recommended that commercial uses in Shorewood be confined to cohesive, compact activity centers. The only commercial use shown in the western portion of the community is an existing marina. While this represents a considerable amount of land without neighborhood facilities, from a planning perspective neither the existing nor the proposed density is considered great enough to warrant designation of an area for commercial use. Most of the commercial land use in Shorewood is located near the center of the community and on the east end between Vine Hill Road and Old Market Road. The area near the intersection of Smithtown Road and County Road 19 is mainly auto-oriented commercial. The shopping center in that area is part of Tonka Bay, but serves as a general commercial area for Shorewood residents. Shorewood' s primary shopping district is located on Highway 7 east of Lake Linden Drive. It is recommended that if commercial development is proposed, it should be located in the shopping center or its immediate vicinity. The area surrounding the shopping center has been designated for medium high density residential use on the Proposed Land Use Plan map, however, the City should remain open to proposals for commercial expansion there as well. Less than one mile east of the shopping center is an existing restaurant. It should be noted that Excelsior surrounds this site on three sides and Highway 7 separates the property from the rest of Shorewood. As such, its orientation is more toward the highway and downtown Excelsior. Moving eastward . on the Proposed Land Use Plan map, the commercially zoned property at the intersection of Christmas Lake Road and Highway 7 is suggested f-or ncigbborhood commercial or office 1:Ise.

The area in the vicinity of the Vine Hill Road/Highway 7 intersection is primarily neighborhood and convenience type commercial. No change in use nor expansion of the commercial zoning is proposed for this area. . 4/94 LU-30 . Land Use/Zoning Changes Subsequent to adoption of the 1981 Comprehensive Plan, the City adopted zoning regulations to implement the Land Use Plan. A variety of residential zoning districts were established, a commercial service district was created, regulations for existing nonconforming marinas were adopted, and planned unit development provisions were improved and expanded. The actual zoning of property was limited to changes which made the zoning consistent with existing land use patterns. For example the Shady Hills area had been zoned for one-acre lots despite having developed as half-acre lots. Undeveloped parcels planned for a higher use than their zoning were not rezoned at the time. Rather, the intent was to rezone property in conjunction with development requests, using the Land Use Plan as a guide. While this approach to rezoning has provided the City with substantial control over development, a more assenive implementation program is recommended for the future. The map on page LU-33 illustrates recommended changes which are necessary to make Shorewood's Land use Plan and Zoning Districts map consistent. Following is a summary of proposed changes (numbers are keyed to the map): 1. Despite being planned for 1-2 units per acre, larger lots have been developed consistent with its R-1A zoning, mostly because of existing drainage problems in the area. Change the Land Use Plan to low density residential" 0-1 unit per acre. . 2. The 2-3 units per acre development of this area is more consistent with its R-1D zoning than its 0-1 unit per acre land use designation. Change the Land Use Plan to medium density residential, 2-3 units per acre. 3. Plimnedfor 0-1 unit per acre, the area has been developed at two units per acre and zoned R-1C. Change the Land Use Plan to low to medium density residential, 1-2 units per acre. 4. Larger lots have been developed than the original 1-2 units per acre which was planned. The existing development and R-1A zoning are consistent. Change the Land Use Plan to low density residential, 0-1 unit per acre. 5. Originally plannedfor residential development to phase out this commercial "spot zone", the City agreed in the mid 80's to retain the existing C-2, commercial zoning of the property. Change the to 6. This area is planned for 1-2 units per acre, but zoned R-1A. R-1C zoning exists to the nonh, east and south. Change the Zoning Districts map to R-1 C and highlight as being recommended for planned unit development due to wetland configurations. 7. Planned for 3-6 units per acre as a transitional area between commercial and lower density residential, the proposed R-2A zoning would accommodate development of the existing vacant land as well as the existing homes. Change the Zoning Districts map to R-2A. . 4/94 LU-31 8. The current 1-2 units per acre land use designation is not consistent with existing commercial development or R-IA zoning. Change the Land Use Plan to commercial, noting that the existing marina should ultimately be brought into conformity with the L-R Lakeshore Recreational district. . 9. Initially planned for redevelopment to medium density residential, this area has been zoned R-C and C-4 reflective of existing uses. Change the Land Use Plan to commercial. 10. The existing R-IC zoning does not reflect the planned 3-6 unit per acre density. Change the Zoning Districts map to R-2B or higher. 11. The current 1-2 units per acre land use designation is not consistent with the zoning of this area. The Land Use Plan should be changed to medium density residential, 2- 3 units per acre. 12. Although it was planned for 2-3 units per acre, lots in this area and the existing zoning suggest a lower density. Change the Land use Plan to low to medium density residential, 1-2 units per acre. 13. Once planned for commercial development, this land has been acquired for the future upgrading of the Christmas Lake Road/Highway 7 intersection. Change the Land Use Plan to public and the Zoning Districts map to R-IA. . 14. Planned for 2-3 units per acre to encourage redevelopment from commercial service to residential. Change existing R-IA zoning to R-2A. 15. This area has been developed based upon its existing R-IA zoning, making the 2-3 units per acre land use designation inappropriate. Change the Land Use Plan to low density residential, 0-1 unit per acre. The Land Use Plan map on page LU-27 reflects the preceding recommendations. Land Subdivision Controlling the way land is subdivided goes hand in hand with zoning regulations in ensuring the quality of urban development. As Shorewood's larger tracts become developed, increasing pressure will occur to resubdivide smaller parcels and land once considered to be marginal. The City's subdivision regulations should be updated to better address these situations. The current Subdivision Code provides for developers to extend streets and utilities as necessary to accommodate the development of adjacent propenies. Also the Transponation Chapter of this Plan sets fonh policies for the use of private streets. With these rules in mind the review of all subdivision requests should consider how nearby land may develop in the future. Area planning should be done to demonstrate how specific subdivision requests fit with existing and future development. . 4/94 LU-32 . More often than not when one landowner is ready to subdivide its property, the adjoining landowner is not. Timing then becomes an obstacle to avoiding detrimental piece-meal development. The City can, in cenain instances, overcome such obstacles by carefully crafting development agreements and restrictive covenants which provide for future development. For example, public right-of-way can be required for future streets with provisions that funher development will result in street and utility assessments. Planned unit development can be used as a tool to accommodate the different timing of various landowner's development requests. Where it is not possible to facilitate coordination between landowners, subdivision should be deemed premature. As smaller pieces of land are resubdivided, lot configurations become a problem. Backlot divisions, flag lots and gerrymandered property lines undermine the benefits of building setbacks and disrupt continuity of open spaces. All subdivisions, regardless of size, should adhere to good planning and design principles. To this end, the use offormal platting procedures will be encouraged, while metes and bounds subdivisions will be approved only in the very simplest of cases. Housing Variety/Affordability Affordable housing strategy is beyond the scope of this plan. It is recommended that the City prepare a separate housing plan to address this issue. The plan should include an inventory of Shorewood's existing housing stock, including types and values and explore measures to . encourage the development of affordable housing. Senior Housing Affordable housing options for senior citizens are extremely limited in Shorewood. Once seniors choose to or must leave their single-family homes, vinually no housing is available to them. The City recognizes the imponance of keeping these people in the community and has set a goal to promote the development of safe, healthy and affordable housing options for seniors. Over the past several years community leaders have identified various levels at which the City can panicipate in the development of senior housing. Initially it was hoped that the private sector would recognize that a market exists for senior housing in the south Lake Minnetonka area. This market was demonstrated in a housing needs study prepared by the City in 1991. In conjunction with that study Shorewood updated its zoning regulations to address senior housing. It was determined that the impact of senior housing on streets, parks and utlity services was less than that of other types of residential development. Consequently, senior housing is now allowed to be built at somewhat higher densities than otherwise provided by existing zoning. The City also reduced the park dedication fees and sewer connection charges for senior housing in order to minimize development costs. . 4/94 LU-35 The City has actively sought developers of senior housing to build in Shorewood. Response has been limited, however, due to several factors: 1) limited funding resources; 2) relatively . high land costs in the area; 3) unavailability of city water; and 4) conflict with many residents' desire to retain a very low density character throughout the city. The City has undertaken an analysis of undeveloped and underdeveloped land within the community to identify sites which are most suitable for senior housing. There is some question, given land and development costs, as to the feasibility of developing senior housing on land zoned for one-acre lots (R-1A zoning district). While higher densities allowed in the R-1C and higher residential districts may provide opportunities for senior housing, those sites are limited due to lack of city water. The map on the following page illustrates land parcels three acres or larger in size. Out of 35 parcels, eight are considered to be suitable, in varying degrees, as senor housing sites. Only two of those have city water immediately available to them (site 20 and 21). Four sites may be able to obtain water from the City of Chanhassen and two are questionable without extending city water to them. Following is a brief summary of the suitability of the eight sites: Water Available #20 Approximately 5. 71 acres of land zoned partly residential and partly commercial. One of the two sites with with water immediately available, this site is not well suited for step-down housing due to wetlands and terrain. Could work for senior apartments. Current zoning would allow up to 49 units. . #21 Zoned for single and two-family residential, this site contains approximately 6.85 acres. With grading, this property could accommodate twinhomes, single-level townhouses, apartments and possible cottage style units. Water is available to the property. Current zoning would allow up to 59 units. Water Potentially Available #17/18 While these two sites combine for 12 acres to make one of the larger sites available, site 18 could be developed alone with 7.4 acres. Proximity to Freeman Park and adequate space to buffer from Highway 7 make this one of the better sites, except for water availability. Could possibly obtain water from Chanhassen or Shorewood if the Boulder Bridge water system is upgraded. Current zoning would allow up to 59 units on #18 or 99 units on both sites. #23 While this site may be suitable for senior housing, the existing zoning makes feasibility questionable. The 7.4 acres supports only 29 units based upon current zoning. City water may be available from Chanhassen. . 4/94 LU-36 . . . . #33 and 34 Mentioned primarily for their size and proximity to Chanhassen water, senior housing may not be feasible due to current R-1A zoning and high property values. Up to 18 units could be built on #33, 13 units on #34. Site 34 may not be suitable for step-down housing due to terrain. Water Unavailable #19 If city water could be made available to this 6.1-acre site, its zoning would allow as many as 53 units. Cottage style development could possibly be developed. #22 While proximity to the golf course enhances this location, its existing zoning and lack of water make feasibility for senior housing questionable. The 9.3- acre site could yield up to 40 units. Soils and drainage may pose problems. The most significant conclusion which can be drawn from the City's site analysis is that the number of sites suitable for senior housing is extremely limited in Shorewood. Even as the study took place, large parcels have been acquired by developers for single-family housing. Given the rate at which land is being absorbed for private development, the City may wish to take actions to set aside land which is considered suitable for senior housing. It may be necessary to purchase options on such property which would give the City an opportunity to acquire the land at some time in the future. If a decision were made that the City would actually develop senior housing itself, sites for such purpose could be preserved through the "official mapping" process. If the City determines that a higher level of public participation is necessary, following are additional steps which could be considered: -Assist in providing utilities to senior housing sites - Purchase land for resale to senior housing developer - Write down land cost or donate land to senior housing developer - Underwrite construction financing -Act as developer, then sell completed project to a private entity -Act as developer and owner, but contract for management 4/94 LU-37 CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 1994 COUNCIL CHAMBERS 5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD 7:00 P.M.

FOR FILL IN EXCESS OF 100 CUBIC YARDS Applicant: Location: Worth Construction 6100 Cathcart Drive Vice Chair Borkon announced the case and outlined the procedures for a Public Hearing. Nielsen reviewed the Mr . Worth's application for a conditional use permit to place approximately 300 cubic yards of fill on his property at 6100 Cathcart Drive in conjunction with construction of a new house. The property contains approximately 89,811 square feet of area. Nielsen noted the conditional use process for ftll permits is intended to inform area residents of what is proposed and triggers an engineering review of the grading plan. The City Engineer has reviewed the request and provided recommendations regarding the grading plan: 1. the culvert under Cathcart must not be obstructed; 2. an 18" culvert should be placed under the proposed driveway to allow ditch flow along Cathcart Drive; 3. the driveway should be constructed at right angles to Cathcart Drive for 20'; and 4. precautions should be taken during construction to prevent a wet basement since the ground water is quite high in the area. Nielsen recommended approval of the C.D.P., subject to the Engineer's recommendations. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AprilS, 1994 - PAGE 2 The applicant, Mr. Bill Worth, was not present. Vice Chair Borkon opened the public hearing at 7:08 p.m. Mr. Jeff Wingfield, 26975 Beverly Drive, inquired about the amount of fill to be placed. He expressed concern regarding the water problem experienced by everyone in the neighborhood and inquired whether the issue of how the drainage will work with respect to the existing homes on Beverly Drive has been addressed. Nielsen indicated that part of the Engineer's review included the drainage aspect. Nielsen stated there is no holding pond on the property and that generally the water flows across a comer of the site and runs through a culvert under Cathcart Drive. In addition, there is a shallow ditch system along Cathcart Drive. The Engineer has stated that those features cannot be blocked in any fashion. Nielsen stated that with a lot of this size, there is adequate area to distribute 300 yards of fill, therefore, it is anticipated that the addition of fill will not adversely affect drainage to the homes on the north or the east of the property. Mr. George Gleason, 6130 Cathcart Drive, stated his residence is directly south of the applicant's location. He inquired whether more water will be directed to his property. Nielsen stated the fill will be placed in the center of the lot and reiterated that the Engineer has recommended installation of an 18" diameter culvert to maintain the flow of water so it does not back up on surrounding property. Nielsen explained that the home will be constructed at the existing grade and the fill will be primarily used to slope that area. He illustrated where the driveway and recommended culvert will be located. Vice Chair Borkon closed the public hearing at 7: 13 p.m. Bean inquired whether the applicant has reviewed and accepted the City Engineer's recommendations. Nielsen indicated that Mr. Worth has seen the recommendations and has interposed no objections. Rosenberger moved, Pisula seconded to recommend to the Council that it approve the conditional use permit application of Worth Construction for fill in excess of 100 cubic yards at 6100 Cathcart Drive, subject to the City Engineer's recommendations outlined in his letter dated March 29, 1994. Motion passed 5/0. The Council will consider the recommendation at its April 25, 1994 meeting. ~ ~.Jf PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES April 5, 1994 - PAGE 3 2. 7:10 PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REGARDING PARKING REOUIREMENTS FOR CITY PARKS Chair Rosenberger announced the case, outlined the procedures for a public hearing, and noted that the Commission has previously discussed this recommendation. Nielsen reviewed the purpose of the Zoning Code amendment to provide for flexibility to waive or delay installation of curbs, gutters, striping and drainage in City parks, provided that certain criteria are taken into consideration. Nielsen stated the high public cost of such installations precludes the City from completing such refinements in the parks and pointed out the cost is not currently justified based on the limited, short-term, seasonal use of the majority of the parks. As an example, he cited the $200,000 estimated cost of parking lot improvements for Freeman Park. Nielsen noted, however, that based on high usage it is appropriate that the Badger Park parking area which is adjacent to City Hall be paved and curbed. Chair Rosenberger opened and closed the public hearing at 7:18 p.m. there being no comments from the public. Rosenberger declared that notwithstanding the fact that he believes the City should be held to the same standards as residents, he supports approval of this amendment. Borkon moved, Bean seconded to recommend to the Council that it amend the Zoning Code to provide flexibility to waive or delay installation of curbs, gutters, striping and drainage in City parks. Motion passed 5/0. Nielsen pointed out that current Code requires all City buildings to be used for human occupancy be connected to the City sanitary sewer system and recommended that flexibility be provided in the Code to exempt City parks from that standard. Currently all parks except the Badger warming house are served with Satellites. Nielsen explained that even on a long-term basis, it is questionable whether it is cost-effective to install such systems given the seasonal-short term usage of parks and survey results that indicate high levels of vandalism particularly in un monitored and secluded parks. Bean agreed with the recommendation and suggested that appropriate screening such as concrete walls of the Satellite area be required for aesthetic reasons. During discussion, it was acknowledged that Satellites may also be vulnerable to vandalism, however, the repair costs are minimal compared to the cost of sewer-related repairs. Bean moved, Borkon seconded to recommend that the staff develop language to amend the appropriate ordinances and City Code to allow for exceptions to the municipal sewer hookup for park sanitary facilities with the provision that screening of such facilities be evaluated and implemented where feasible. Motion passed 5/0. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES April 5, 1994 - PAGE 4 3. PREAPPLICATION FOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT Applicant: Location: Lundgren Bros. Inc. 26620/26750/27000 Smithtown Road Chair Rosenberger announced the case. He explained there will be no public hearing nor any decision made on this application at this time, but that the Commissioners will gather information, raise issues, questions and concerns, and express general opinions regarding the proposed Lundgren Bros. development and related land use amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan. Nielsen referred to his memorandum dated March 29, 1994 which outlines the background to the applicant's request and describes the process required to amend the City's Comprehensive Plan. The applicant's proposed development on approximately 73.5 acres of land located on the north side of Smithtown Road just west of the Minnewashta Elementary School, would require a zoning reclassification from semirural residential (density 0-1 unit per acre) to low density residential (1-2 units per acre)- i.e. from approximately 30 lots to approximately 36 lots. Pursuant to the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Guidelines, the developer has submitted information for the Preapplication Stage review of the process. The request and background information are detailed in a document dated March 1, 1994: "Proposed Land Use Guide Plan Amendment for Ledin/Wartman/Minnewashta School Property of Shorewood, Minnesota." Nielsen reviewed the Comprehensive Plan amendment process. He identified several issues which need to be addressed as part of the request. He pointed out that this request is timely in that the City is currently updating its Comprehensive Plan and recommended that both the existing and updated goals and policies be considered in the review of the Lundgren Bros. proposal. Mr. Terry Forbord, vice president, Lundgren Bros., Wayzata, introduced the members of the development team and marketing representatives in attendance at the meeting. Mr. Forbord described the general statement of development intent and outlined the developer's responses to the issues identified by the staff. Mr. John Uban, planning consultant, Dahlgren, Shardlowand Uban, Inc., Minneapolis, described the existing guide plan and land use and presented generalized concept and detailed calculations using plans submitted with the narrative. He related the developer's plans to the zoning amendment request and provided justification for the requested density increase. Mr. Mark Anderson, marketing representative, showed slides of the property and adjacent areas. The developer's general concept plan would create a residential cluster community of about 36 diverse lots, averaging 34,000 square feet in area, with considerable open space, with homes constructed to meet market demand designed to enhance the neighborhood and complement the character of Shorewood. Mr. Forbord described the composition of the property which involves a combination of three parcels and outlined the benefits to the City that would result from the proposed development. (The presentation narratives and plans comprise the March 1, 1994 Lundgren document prepared and submitted . 1 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES April 5, 1994 - PAGE 5 to the City as required under the preapplication stage of the Comp Plan procedure for amendments. ) The Commissioners evaluated the preapplication and the development team responded to questions and comments. Turgeon inquired about historical and archeological aspects of the property. Forbord stated the Institute of Minnesota Archeology has been retained to review the property and the Historical Society automatically performs field reviews of wetland permits. Turgeon inquired about the discrepancy between the City's and developer's wetland acreage. Nielsen stated that the City's ordinance provides that wetland and public right of way is subtracted from the total area to determine the net developable area. Forbord stated that under the rules of the Wetland Conservation Act, more wetland area was discovered and delineated than that shown on the City's maps. Turgeon inquired what benefit, other than economic, the increased density would contribute. Forbord explained that if development is desired, to make it work requires assembling the three pieces of property together to create a community development rather than individual development of the parcels. Rosenberger requested clarification of how more density would impact the wetlands less. Forbord explained that houses do not pollute, but are considered impervious surface and increase run-off. He stated that agricultural use of the properties creates greater problems with storm water management and that urban conditions provide for control. Rosenberger remained skeptical about the impact on the wetlands and pointed out that the type of community planned would include well-maintained lawns. Forbord replied that the measurable impact on an ecosystem over a period of time may not be identifiable or calculated. Uban explained that over a mile of conservation easement will be controllable through covenants and that an ordinance can control the use of herbicides in a community. Turgeon agreed that rezoning should be to a planned unit development district, yet remained uncertain about the advantages of increased density. Forbord stated the market indicates that various needs and desires of homeowners exist and the proposal would provide for diversity in lot and home sizes. Turgeon expressed concern regarding increased traffic and inquired about the improvement schedule of Smithtown Road and Cathcart Drive. Nielsen indicated the impact of increased traffic would be minimal and commented on the road improvement schedule. Borkon generally accepted the proposal to combine the parcels to provide consistency and the need for increased density for cost effectiveness. In response to her question regarding the adequacy of site distances for ingress and egress, Nielsen stated both were acceptable. Forbord responded to the Commissioners' inquiry about the feasibility of the project based on the existing zoning that would allow 30 lots. He explained that because of the high cost of land and the improvements required to develop the property, 36 lots are necessary. Forbord indicated the cost of a home constructed on the least desirable lot is estimated to begin at $250,000. The cost of a home would increase based on the value and size of the lot. ~ 'ii PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES April 5, 1994 - PAGE 6 Bean stated he was skeptical about the need for increased density to make the development economically feasible since based on developments currently in progress, the demand and availability appears to be unlimited for upper-end homes in Shorewood. He advised the developer to consider the profile of existing residents as well as that of potential purchasers/residents. Bean explained that while a density increase from 1 unit to 1.2 units per lot may not be discernible, the general attitude of residents is to reject density increases as evidenced by reactions from the public to other proposals heard by the Commission. Bean stressed the need to clearly demonstrate justification to exceed the existing zoning. He pointed out that a diversity of affordable ($125,000) housing is considered to be of value to Shorewood and inquired how the developer could support that goal. Forbord stated that given the current cost of land, it would be impossible to provide such housing in Shorewood unless it would be subsidized. He indicated the Metropolitan Council determines land cost based on provision of sewer services. Bean inquired whether the developer's long-range plans include acquisition of the other properties adjacent to the three subject parcels as it might affect planning the infrastructure improvements. Forbord stated that while inquiries have been made a conclusion has not been reached and their participation under the current proposal would be elective. Mr. Ken Adolf, civil engineer and surveyor, Schoell and Madson, Minnetonka, indicated acquisition of those properties and City participation in improvement costs would be beneficial. He noted that preliminary plans provide for sufficient water and sewer service. Nielsen indicated that the storm management system will need comprehensive review. Bean inquired whether the adequacy of the school system has been addressed. The Minnetonka School District has indicated there would be no adverse effect based on its projections. Bean stated that he was not necessarily opposed to eclectic developments and generally accepted the unique nature of the proposed development. Pisula inquired whether completion of an environmental assessment worksheet is required. Nielsen indicated it would not be required, however it would be appropriate for review. Pisula inquired about the level of City control relative to dedication vs. easements. Nielsen explained that dedication of the wetlands as a separate outlot provides preferred regulation. Forbord indicated the developer would cooperate with the City in that regard. Pisula commented on potential increased traffic in the surrounding area. He indicated general acceptance of the. proposed development of the three parcels as a unified planned unit development, suggested there may be potential opportunity for adjustment to the proposal to provide diversity in the range of housing, questioned the economic rationale for increased density and stated support for providing diversity of housing in Shorewood. Borkon asked the developer to describe the improved environmental aspects to be incorporated into the development. Forbord explained that experience gained from previous developments places greater attention to such things as preserving natural views, sensitivity to existing habitat, grading, entrances, etc. Borkon requested information on the acceptability of the proposed '", PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AprilS, 1994 - PAGE 7 entrance to the development. Nielsen explained that the 50' strip was provided for construction of a road to the back lots and some setback variances may be required. He indicated that from a planning standpoint, the looped road system as proposed would be recommended. In response to Borkon's request, Nielsen identified the proposed location of the water tower. Borkon reiterated the concerns of the other Commissioners and supported their views except that she was not necessarily opposed to increasing the density to provide for an additional 6 lots. Rosenberger inquired whether the developer has contacted the neighborhood residents. Forbord indicated that neighborhood meetings are routinely held prior to a public hearing. Rosenberger requested additional information regarding development of the "peninsula" on the property. Forbord stated that detailed plans have not yet been developed since the project is currently in the concept stage. Rosenberger inquired about the impact of construction traffic and about the upgrade schedule for Smithtown Road. Nielsen indicated that Smithtown is not in the 5-year plan, Cathcart is higher on the list for reconstruction, but new development construction traffic may be a general concern. Forbord indicated that if approved, work on the development would begin during the 1995 construction season. Rosenberger commented on water issues facing the City and the water tower proposed in the area. The Commissioners agreed to discuss the subject separately at its next study session. In general the Commissioners accepted the concept plan as proposed as a planned unit development, expressed reservations regarding increased density on the property, stated concerns related to traffic and the impact of the high cost of land on the City's ability to provide affordable housing, and acknowledged the City water issue. Notwithstanding those concerns, the Commission indicated it was willing to further consider the proposal, and encouraged the developer to refine the proposal taking into consideration comments made by the Commissioners. Rosenberger stated he would yore to deny appr-o-:a:l of the proposea deyelopment primarily bcc8:\ise higher dCflsity was Rot accepted for a sCRwr housing project, ther<:forc gnmting a higher dCRsity fer this pr'Djeet for eeoRomic feasibility is Rot justified he understood an increase in density may be needed to make the project economically feasible. However, given the City did not provide relief for density for affordable senior housing, he would not suppon raising density to provide building homes of the proposed value. Nielsen stated the developer will appear before the City Council at its April 25 meeting, and a public hearing on the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment before the Planning Commission will then be scheduled. The Chair recessed the meeting at 9:30 p.m. and reconvened at 9:38 p.m. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES April 5, 1994 - PAGE 8 CITY WATER SYSTEM Nielsen directed the Commissioners' attention to the City Engineer's letter dated March 31, 1994 regarding Boulder Bridge water system alternatives.

Fac.) . - Based upon the direction given at the joint meeting between the Planning Commission and City Council, staff proposes to redraft portions of the Community Facilities Chapter of the Comp Plan Update which deal with municipal water. First, it has been suggested that the issues section of the Chapter be redrafted to more fully describe the problems with the City's system as it currently exists. The revised text will elaborate a bit on the various issues which were studied two years ago (i. e. extensions to new and existing development, depreciation of the system, escalating operation costs, etc.). The concensus of the Planning Commission and Council is to establish a goal for extending municipal water to the entire city within 10 years. To accomplish this goal, staff has identified certain basic areas of decision which must be addressed to improve the feasibility of a citywide system: Water Policies 1. Properties get assessed when the water line goes by (no deferrals). 2. Hook up required within one year. Three years? . 3. Budget for capital improvements in general fund. 4. Flat rate assessments on unit basis (Le. a1llots, regardless of size, pay the same assessment). A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore ~, -' . Re: Comprehensive Plan City Water 3 January 1994 The Comprehensive Plan is considered the most appropriate forum in which to address City water. In addition to setting forth the goals, policies and plans for a municipal system, it puts this issue in context with the other elements of community development (i.e. streets, land. use and natUral resources). It also involves a. public review process which provides for scrutiny and input from the residents of the community. ' Following is a tentative schedule for completion of the Comprehensive Plan Update and a subsequent public review process: February - begin review of Land Use and Natural Resources Chapters March - finalize Land Use and Natural Resources Chapters - <!!scuss revised Community Facilities Chapter re: city water - joint meeting of Planning Commission and Council . April - conduct a series of neighborhood meetings (perhaps 4 to 8) May - di~uss revisions to Plan based upon public input June - hold a public hearing and adopt Comp Plan Update subject to review by Metropolitan Council Even beyond this process the City would need to hold one, or more likely, a series of special assessment public hearings following preliminary design and before full design. It is likely that the earliest construction could reasonably begin is Spring 1995. ' It is important to recognize that there really is no "point of no return" until the pipe is in. * The proposed goal is to extend water to the entire city within 10 years. Even if the City decided to move that up to 3 years as had been discussed 2 years ago, very little pipe could be in the ground before 1995. . Consulting fees are estimated to be $2000 legal, $3000 financial, and $10,000 engineering just to get us to a special assessment hearing. *These funds should be set aside in advance, especially if they are to be spent all in one year. . * Remember, we didn't even get to the special assessment hearing stage two years ago. We just had public information meetings. cc: Tim Keane Joel Dresel AI Rolek - 2 - l - . . . Go Chapter Summary 4/94 The Land Use Chapter sets fonh goals, objectives and policies which serve as a guide for how land within the city is to be developed and used. Shorewood has established itself as a predominently residential community. Any nonresidential activities which are allowed should be located and designed to suppon a quality living environment. The City's land use goals are as follows: The City shall establish a pattern of land uses which is consistent with the residential and recreational functions of the community. The land use plan shall promote hannonious relationships between various land uses (e.g. homes, commercial outlets, churches, parks, schools, etc.) through proper development and locational planning. Through land use planning discourage land uses which are inconsistent with the residential and natural character of the community. The City shall promote the development of safe, healthy and affordable housing options. The following summary of recommendations is reflective of the City's goals, objectives and policies: 1. Establish planning districts based upon natural divisions and physical barriers. 2. Create and enhance focal points within each planning district or neighborhood. 3. Commercial development should be consistent with the residential character of the community and concentrated to three primary locations: 1) Country Club Road/County Road 19,' 2) Lake Linden/Highway 7; and 3) Vine Hill Road/Highway 7. 4. Encourage residential clustering to preserve natural features (e.g. wetlands and shoreland). LU-39 . . . ... 5. Promote the use of sound planning and design principles, particularly planned unit development. 6. Coordinate the development of small land parcels to ensure that access and utility service comply with City standards. 7. Adopt a Land Use Plan to illustrate the relationship of various densities of residential development and nonresidential uses. 8. Update the City's land use controls (e.g. zoning and subdivision ordinances) to implement the Land Use Plan. 9. Identify areas which are best suited for planned unit development. 10. Require formal platting procedures for the subdivision of land, allowing metes and bounds divisions only in the simplest of cases. 11. Prepare a separate housing plan describing Shorewood's existing housing stock and identify measures to encourage the development of affordable housing. 12. Take action to set aside land which is considered suitable for senior housing. 13. Determine to what level. the City is willing to participate financially in the development of senior housing. 14. Seek ways to bring the Howard's Point Marina and the Shorewood Yacht Club into substantial compliance with the Lakeshore Recreational (L-R) zoning district. 15. Review and update the requirements of the Lakeshore Recreational zoning district. 16. Work with the LMCD to identify suitable locations for public access to Lake Minnetonka. 4/94 LU-40 - '.... /' \.,;'" MAYOR Barb Brancel COUNCIL Kristi Stover Rob Daugherty Daniel Lewis Bruce Benson CITY OF SHOREWOOD 5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD.

Introduction Thc Shorcwood Pl8:flfliflgInvcntory, Dcecmber 1977 indicated that Based upon the Existing Land Use-1994 map shown on page LU-25 of this Chapter nearly ~ 15% of the land in the community is undeveloped at this time. Additionally, 20 30% of the land This includes land which exists as residential estate property capable of further subdivision and development. WAile Hot aU of this 18:fld is suitable for dc',e!opmeat due to wetlands 8:fld other restrictions, There still remain limited large tracts of buildable land on which development can be expected to occur. The largest of these undeveloped areas exist in the westernmost third and eastcrn side of the community. As this vacant land develops, the City must have a guide for how it will be used. . The Land Use Plan is formulated to show logical relationships between a variety of major land use types, including residential, public, semipublic, commercial, and undeveloped open space. Location of various land uses is a result of applying the general planning concepts and the specific policies contained in the Policy Plan. In deciding the amount which is desired of each land use type, several factors are considered: .1. Community Function. The primary role of Shorewood in the metropolitan area has been identified as provision of housing. As such, planning must be geared toward providing a quality living environment with adequate supportive services (i.e. park and recreational facilities, shoppiflg neighborhood convenience commercial areas, etc.). 2. Community Character. Shorewood's current character is primarily single family residential. Shorewood will strive to maintain its character. 3. Development Costs. In the past, large lots were necessary to accommodate on-site sewer systems. With the installation of sanitary sewer, the cost of large lot development has increased greatly. Development of smaller lot sizes allows development costs to be spread over a greater number of lots, thus reducing the cost per unit. . 4/94 LU-1 4. 4/94 Variety of Housing. Current residential development in Shorewood consists mainly of single family units. Few housing units are available to young singles, newly married couples or the elderly. The land use plan attempts to establish more variety than currently exists in Shorewood. LU-2 . . . . . . Land Use Goals and Objectives 4/94 Land Use Goals The City shall establish a pattern of land uses which is consistent with the residential and recreational functions of the community. The land use plan shall promote harmonious relationships between various land uses (e.g. homes, commercial outlets, churches, parks, schools, etc.) through proper development and locational planning. Through land use planning discourage land uses which are inconsistent with the residential and natural character of the community. The City shall promote the development of safe, healthy and affordable housing options. Land Use Objectives 1. A cohesive land use pattern which ensures compatibility and functional relationships among activities is to be formulated and implemented. 2. Community planning and development is to consider the surrounding neighbors, neighborhoods and cities. 3-:- Land l:lse alloca-tioRs a:re to be balanced ".vith eCQlmmic mark-et dema:nds. LaRd "..hich is available is to be de"lcloped .....ith proper considcratiofl for sHeh demands. 3. Overintensification of land use development, in othcr '.vmds, Development which is not accompanied by a sufficient level of supportive services and facilities (utilities, parking, access, etc.) is to be prevented. ~ Land OR a community as well as subl:lnit basis is to be propcrly utilized and conserved. LU-3 4. Land uses and environmental quality are to be maintained and where necessary upgraded. . 5. Property values are to be preserved and protected. 6. Community development is to be compatible with features of the natural environment and is to be accommodated without destroying environmental features and natural amenities. 7. Individual neighborhoods are to be maintained and where necessary, strengthened in character, while at the same time improving and reinforcing community identity. 8. A creative approach (as opposed to "traditional" subdivision design) to the use of land and related residential development is to be encouraged. 9. Commercial development shall be safe, convenient, attractive, and accessiblc commcreial development is to be a',ailablc for city r-esidcnts consistent with the residential character of the community. ~ Balanced commercial acth'ity .,;hich is viable and re3poRsh'c to thc needs of the commtlRity Bfld surrotlRding mMk-ct Mal. is to be maintaiacd.

Establish a consistent approach to the development of fragmented land parcels which encourages cooperation between landowners and provides for access and utility service which complies with City standards. 11. Develop a senior housing program which: a. Allows seniors to remain in their single-family homes. b. Provides a range of housing types, including step-down housing, senior apartments and assisted living housing, with initial emphasis being placed on step-down housing, c. Establishes regulations which permit the construction of affordable senior housing while ensuring compatibility with existing residential neighborhoods. d. Identifies suitable sites for senior housing. . 4/94 LU-4 . . . 4/94 e. Establishes methods to ensure control over suitable senior housing sites. f. Assists financially in senior housing projects to ensure affordability and enhance compatibility with existing developments. g. Identifies and participates in support services for the elderly, e.g. transportation, social and recreational facilities, home maintenance and repair. LU-5 . . . Land Use Issues Undeveloped/Underdeveloped Land A limited number of vacant parcels remain to be developed in Shorewood. Despite land use patterns having been relatively well established, issues will undoubtedly arise concerning intensity, compatibility and environmental impact. More challenging than developing the remaining large parcels is coordinating the development of small parcels to avoid the adverse effects of piece-meal subdivision. Discrepancies Between Land Use Plan and Existing Zoning The Comprehensive Plan prepared in 1981 resulted in the rezoning of several areas within the community, primarily to make zoning consistent with existing development. Zoning which allowed higher densities of residential development or changes in land use to implement the City's land use plan has been done on a case by case basis in conjunction with specific development requests. This approach to rezoning should be reexamined to determine if the land use plan would be better implemented through City-initiated zoning for cenain propenies. Housing Variety/Affordability Shorewood has served, over a long period of time, as a residential community with the tradition of single-family homes. While some variety of cost and lot sizes has been achieved over the past several years, the lack of affordable housing options presents an area of concern. The City needs to explore ways to encourage development of affordable housing. Senior Housing Like most communities Shorewood is faced with an increasing elderly population. A Study of Senior Housing Needs, prepared by the City in 1991 indicates a lack of 4/94 LU-7 senior housing options (style and affordability) for those who can not, or choose not to, stay . in single-family homes. This issue is compounded by the limited amount of suitable land (i. e. size, zoning, availability of services, etc.) remaining for development. What land does remain is rapidly being absorbed by development. Lake Access As a result of the 1981 Comprehensive Plan, two lake access issues were addressed. The City conducted a study relative to the use of existing fire lanes, which concluded with a decision to keep, but regulate, fire lanes for neighborhood use. Secondly, the City adopted regulations penaining to existing marinas. , Recently the LMCD and the DNR have agreed upon a goal of locating 750 parking spaces associated with lake access to Lake Minnetonka. While Shorewood has provided a minimum number of parking spaces on Christmas Lake, some Lake Minnetonka communities have taken issue with the fact that Shorewood has no public access to Lake Minnetonka. . . 4/94 LU-8 . Land Use Policies General 1. The community shall be planned and developed in units as determined by either physical barriers and/or homogeneous land use characteristics. 2. Whenever possible, the impact of physical barriers shall be reduced in order to increase relationships between segregated isolated areas and reinforce continuity and a sense of community. 3.

Concept Plan The Policy PIW'l which has beeR prelimiflarily adopted by the City Policy plans contained in each chapter of this Plan establish goals, objeetives and policies which create a basic and fundamental foundation for development of the community. These adopted principles therefore serve as an initial reference guiding community or neighborhood district planning and improvement. The next reference point is the Concept Plan. The Concept Plan forms the basis from which categorical elements of the Comprehensive Plan are developed. In other words, the plans for environmental proteetion, land use, transportation and community facilities will grow out of the concepts set forth in this seetion of the document. The physical development and design concepts are derived from the established goals, objeetives and policies and an assessment of the community's function within the context of the Metropolitan Area. . The primary function of Shorewood is the provision of housing and a leisure time environment. Likewise, the function of most adjacent lakeshore communities is similar, making it somewhat difficult to differentiate between one community and another. In addition to the similarity in basic function, irregular boundaries and geographic configuration compound the difficulty of identifying each individual community. Shorewood' slack of a "traditional downtown" and Excelsior's strong identity in that regard further add to the problem. . In reeognition of these problems, Shorewood has adopted as one of its goals establishing an identity and sense of community. For the purpose of this report, a community is defined as an entity possessing a common likeness or character. Since the basic character of Shorewood is that of a residential community, it is essential that each residential neighborhood be maintained as a unit with a sense of continuity and focus. Moreover, as certain supportive services and facilities are required in order for a residential community to function properly and adequately, nonresidential uses should be likewise maintained. In other words, proper attention to each constituent part of the community is essential to the establishment of an identity or sense of community. 4/94 LU-15 Relative to the function and goals of the community, the overall plan concept for the City of . Shorewood is the development of the community on a district or neighborhood basis. While a neighborhood can be considered as much a social entity as a physical area, for planning purposes these neighborhoods or planning districts have been determined based upon natural divisions and/or physical barriers. So, for the purpose of this report, neighborhood and planning district may be used interchangeably. The map on the following page shows Shorewood divided, for planning purposes, into fOUrtcefl twelve districts. In order to enhance or reinforce the sense of community identity in Shorewood, it is essential that constituent planning. districts within the City are provided with a sense of continuity and focus. An internal continuity within each district is desirable as each neighborhood should relate well within itself as well as to adjoining neighborhoods and the entire community. Within residential districts, it is proposed that neighborhood parks ranging in size depending on the circumstance serve as the focus or unifying element. This concept is illustrated in Concept Sketch Number One in the following pages. Furthermore, in terms of overall circulation within each neighborhood district, it is essential that major traffic flow border, not penetrate, the district. This is necessary from the standpoint of increasing the safety to pedestrians and bicyclists as well as maintaining the environmental quality of the neighborhood. Within the concept of developing the entire community on a unit or district basis, it is important that individual districts not only have an internal continuity, but also that they relate to one another. In order to relate neighborhood districts on a community scale, it is recommended that community focal points be developed (see Concept Sketch Number Two). Typically, a community would have one central activity center to serve this purpose. However, given the elongated shape of Shorewood, a multiple nuclei concept is proposed. These focal points already exist to a certain extent, but planning for the community should recognize and attempt to enhance these activity centers. The primary commercial focus for the City will be the shopping center 6ft at Lake Linden and Highway 7. . Future commercial development in Shorewood should be encouraged to locate in and around the existing shopping center to ensure its economic viability and stability and establish this area as the commercial "core" of the City. Further, residential development around the shopping center should be the highest density considered allowable by the City. The idea of higher density residential surrounding the commercial center serves several purposes: 1) it supports commercial activity; 2) it serves as a land use transition between the intensity of the commercial activity and lower intensity uses (see Concept Sketch Number Three); and 3) provides an area for alternative housing types not now existing in Shorewood. The commercial center should remain easily accessible to all residential districts. The center should also project a unified image with individual components of the center arranged so as to create functional and complementary use relationships. Circulation within the core should be, to the extent possible, largely pedestrian oriented. In order to increase the continuity of the center, while at the same time increasing pedestrian safety, major traffic flow should be routed around the periphery of the center, penetrating it as little as possible. Finally,. commercial property maintenance should represent and reflect the vitality and stability of the entire community. 4/94 LU-16 . . . The Vine Hill Road/Highway 7 commercial area should be considered, although to a lesser degree, as another commercial focal point. Neighborhood and/or convenience type commercial uses should be encouraged to fill in this area. The ftcwly proposed City Hall and surrounding City property will be considered another community focal point and serve as the civic center for Shorewood. Development of this area should be representative of community attributes and set an example for private development in the community. Community parks should be developed within the community to serve the recreational needs of the City. Additionally, the proposed Shorewood Trail System will serve to unify or tie the community together. To the extent feasible, priority should be given to the development of this system. A design concept which is to be encouraged in the community is residential clustering. This concept recognizes overall density rather than lot size and can be applied in some fashion to any of the zoning districts. The primary advantage of this concept, and the reason it is considered so suitable for Shorewood, is that it encourages preservation of natural features, such as wooded areas and wetlands, while still allowing efficient and economically advantageous use of land. Sketch Number Four illustrates this concept as applied to wetlands. Planned unit development is a concept which has been incorporated into Shorewood's existing zoning ordinance and utilized to a certain extent in the past. Advantages of planned unit development are several: 1) the contractual agreement between the developer and the City give the City more total control than traditional subdivision; 2) more efficient circulation patterns can be achieved for a large area than piecemeal development might allow; 3) land use transitions can occur within the site; and 4) natural features can be preserved by functional clustering of units and/or uses. 4/94 LU-19 Concept 1 J l J L Concept 2 Perk ~ iJ"tr ")~r- The Park...neighborhood focus CJ lcw densiry residential ~~.W,~'~}'}J Medium density residential . ~ Commercial acrivity centers :f..

Land Use Plan Land Use Classifications The maps on the following Me pages show Existing Land Use in Shorewood and the Proposed Land Use Plan for tit the community. The Prq>osed Land Use Plan map shows the proposed juxtaposition of a variety of land use types and densities. These land uses are described in general below. More detailed information and justification are included in the Area Plans section which follows the Community Facilities/Services Plan. . Undeveloped Open Space. Based upon the assumption that all buildable land in Shorewood will eventually be developed in one fashion or another, this category consists primarily of wetlands. These areas are indicated on the Proposed Land Use Plan map as designated wetlands, and are taken from the official Shorewood wetlands map. These areas are scattered throughout the community and range in size from small potholes to the very large tracts of land found near Howard's Point Road and east of Christmas Lake. Protection of these natural areas is considered important, both in terms of Shorewood's natural drainage system and retention of community aesthetics. Semirural Low Density Residential. While the City has recognized a need for providing areas which allow a somewhat higher density than one acre lots, there is still a market for large lots. The areas indicated on the Proposed Land Use Plan map consist of land where such development is already prevalent. Overall density is proposed at approximately 0 to 1 unit per acre. Most of the areas proposed as semirurallow density are adjacent to natural areas such as lakes or wetlands. In this regard, the City must ensure that any changes in density to surrounding areas has a minimum of impact on the lower intensity use. . taw Low to Medium Density Residential. This land use basically consists of single family residential at a density of approximately 1 to 2 units per acre. Most of the area designated as low to medium density residential is already 4/94 LU-23 . . (insert map) Existing Land Use - 1994 . LU-25 . . . zoned for this type of development. However, some expansion of this land use category is proposed. Areas which are proposed for a change in density from semirural to low density to low to medium density are justified based upon the apparent need for areas in which development costs can be lowered and yet where the spacious character of the community can be maintained. Lov; to Medium Density Residential. This category of land use is provided to allow residential development at a density of 2 to 3 units per acre. This density begins to allow a greater variety of housing types. Small lot single family residential, double bungalows, and law medium density townhouse development may be permitted in these areas. Residential development at this density is viewed as serving two purposes: 1) proper location creates a transitional area between lower density residential uses and higher intensity uses such as commercial (see concept plan), and 2) applies the concept of locating a greater density of population nearer to activity centers and major traffic carriers. .Most of the areas dcsigHated 10'.'.' to medi1:lm cleHsity resicleHtial reflect C1:lffefl.t lafl:d 1:lse patterns with the ~eeptioR of the Mea betwccH Apple Road and Mill Stroot. Mill Str-eet is elassificd as a miRor arterial Md is a direct ratite iflto thc Excelsior do'.vfltowfl. Medium High Density Residential. At 3 to 6 units per acre, this is the highest density residential use proposed for the City of Shorewood. Types of housing allowed in these areas would include higher density townhouse development and potentially small scale apartment or condominium units. The areas proposed for medium high density residential are relatively limited in area and number so as to have a minimum effect on the overall density of the community. These areas include primarily the properties immediately adjacent to the existing commercial uses. Once again the concepts of land use transition and higher density near activity centers have been applied. Semipublic. This land use type includes churches, cemeteries, the NSP property on County Road 19, and the largest area designated semipublic - the country club and golf course located near the center of the community. All areas so designated on the Proposed Land Use Plan map are already in existence. No new areas are proposed for semipublic use, nor are any existing semipublic uses proposed to be eliminated. Public. This classification includes all existing public buildings, schools, parks and recreational facilities in the community. It should be noted that the Chicago and Northwestern rail right-of-way has been schedHled fur aCq1:1isitiofl acquired by the Metropolitan Council in 1979 and iHcorporatiofl iflto the regioflal trail system (fer further details, see COffiffiHnity Facilities Chaptcr) the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority for possible extension of light rail transit. Since light rail is not anticipated in the foreseeable future, the right-of-way will continue to be used for trail purposes. 4/94 LU-29 'Nhilo so additiosal ptlelie space has bees desigsated at this tiffie, it shotlld be realized that . the Shorewood Losg Range Parle PlaR, 1977 has iaestified additional areas fur which fHt1:lre pa:rks may be seeded or desired. It is inappropriate at this time to attempt to locate OR the map where and '1Ihat size these parks ffiight be. Parks will be discussed further is the COffiffiHnity Facilities Chapter of this report. Commercial. It is recommended that commercial uses in Shorewood be confined to cohesive, compact activity centers. The only commercial use shown in the western portion of the community is an existing marina. While this represents a considerable amount of land without neighborhood facilities, from a planning perspective neither the existing nor the proposed density is considered great enough to warrant designation of an area for commercial use. Most of the commercial land use in Shorewood is located near the center of the community and on the east end between Vine Hill Road and Old Market Road. The area near the intersection of Smithtown Road and County Road 19 is mainly auto-oriented commercial. The shopping center in that area is part of Tonka Bay, but serves as a general commercial area for Shorewood residents. Shorewood's primary shopping district is located on Highway 7 east of Lake Linden Drive. It is recommended that if commercial development is proposed, it should be located in the shopping center or its immediate vicinity. The area surrounding the shopping center has been designated for medium high density residential use on the Proposed Land Use Plan map, however, the City should remain open to proposals for commercial expansion there as well. Less than one mile east of the shopping center is an existing restaurant. It should be noted that Excelsior surrounds this site on three sides and Highway 7 separates the property from the rest of Shorewood. As . such, its orientation is more toward the highway and downtown Excelsior. Moving eastward on the Proposed Land Use Plan map, the commercially zoned property at the intersection of Christmas Lake Road and Highway 7 is sHggested for seighborhood commerdal or office 1:ISO. It should ee aoted that this site is CHffCStly Hsder study by the City a3 to what type of specific HSCS and aeti';ity isrensity will be allowed. has been acquired for public use, primarily for correction of the Christmas Lake Road intersection and drainage. The area in the vicinity of the Vine Hill Road/Highway 7 intersection is primarily neighborhood and convenience type commercial. No change in use nor expansion of the commercial zoning is proposed for this area. . 4/94 LU-30 . . . Land Use/Zoning Changes Subsequent to adoption of the 1981 Comprehensive Plan, the City adopted zoning regulations to implement the Land Use Plan. A variety of residential zoning districts were established, a commercial service district was created, regulations for existing nonconforming marinas were adopted, and planned unit development provisions were improved and expanded. The actual zoning of property was limited to changes which made the zoning consistent with existing land use patterns. For example the Shady Hills area had been zoned for one-acre lots despite having developed as half-acre lots. Undeveloped parcels planned for a higher use than their zoning were not rezoned at the time. Rather, the intent was to rezone property in conjunction with development requests, using the Land Use Plan as a guide. While this approach to rezoning has provided the City with substantial control over development, a more assenive implementation program is recommended for the future. The map on page LU-33 illustrates recommended changes which are necessary to make Shorewood's Land use Plan and Zoning Districts map consistent. Following is a summary of proposed changes (numbers are keyed to the map): 1. Despite being planned for 1-2 units per acre, larger lots have been developed consistent with its R-1A zoning, mostly because of existing drainage problems in the area. Change the Land Use Plan to low density residential" 0-1 unit per acre. 2. The 2-3 units per acre development of this area is more consistent with its R-1D zoning than its 0-1 unit per acre land use designation. Change the Land Use Plan to medium density residential, 2-3 units per acre. 3. Planned for 0-1 unit per acre, the area has been developed at two units per acre and zoned R-1C. Change the Land Use Plan to low to medium density residential, 1-2 units per acre. 4. Larger lots have been developed than the original 1-2 units per acre which was planned. The existing development and R-1A zoning are consistent. Change the Land Use Plan to low density residential, 0-1 unit per acre. 5. Originally planned for residential development to phase out this commercial "spot zone", the City agreed in the mid 80's to retain the existing C-2, commercial zoning of the property. Change the to 6. This area is planned for 1-2 units per acre, but zoned R-1A. R-1C zoning exists to the nonh, east and south. Change the Zoning Districts map to R-1 C and highlight as being recommended for planned unit development due to wetland configurations. 7. Planned for 3-6 units per acre as a transitional area between commercial and lower density residential, the proposed R-2A zoning would accommodate development of the existing vacant land as well as the existing homes. Change the Zoning Districts map to R-2A. 4/94 LU-31 8. The current 1-2 units per acre land use designation is not consistent with existing commercial development or R-1A zoning. Change the Land Use Plan to commercial, noting that the existing marina should ultimately be brought into conformity with the L-R Lakeshore Recreational district. . 9. Initially planned for redevelopment to medium density residential, this area has been zoned R-C and C-4 reflective of existing uses. Change the Land Use Plan to commercial. 10. The existing R-1C zoning does not reflect the planned 3-6 unit per acre density. Change the Zoning Districts map to R-2B or higher. 11. The current 1-2 units per acre land use designation is not consistent with the zoning of this area. The Land Use Plan should be changed to medium density residential, 2- 3 units per acre. 12. Although it was planned for 2-3 units per acre, lots in this area and the existing zoning suggest a lower density. Change the Land use Plan to low to medium density residential, 1-2 units per acre. 13. Once planned for commercial development, this land has been acquired for the future upgrading of the Christmas Lake Road/Highway 7 intersection. Change the Land Use Plan to public and the Zoning Districts map to R-1A. . 14. Plannedfor 2-3 units per acre to encourage redevelopment from commercial service to residential. Change existing R-1A zoning to R-2A. 15. This area has been developed based upon its existing R-1A zoning, making the 2-3 units per acre land use designation inappropriate. Change the Land Use Plan to low density residential, 0-1 unit per acre. The Land Use Plan map on page LU-27 reflects the preceding recommendations. Land Subdivision Controlling the way land is subdivided goes hand in hand with zoning regulations in ensuring the quality of urban development. As Shorewood's larger tracts become developed, increasing pressure will occur to resubdivide smaller parcels and land once considered to be marginal. The City's subdivision regulations should be updated to better address these situations. The current Subdivision Code provides for developers to extend streets and utilities as necessary to accommodate the development of adjacent propenies. Also the Transponation Chapter of this Plan sets fonh policies for the use of private streets. With these rules in mind the review of all subdivision requests should consider how nearby land may develop in . the future. Area planning should be done to demonstrate how specific subdivision requests fit with existing and future development. 4/94 LU-32 . . . ~. More often than not when one landowner is ready to subdivide its property, the adjoining landowner is not. Timing then becomes an obstacle to avoiding detrimental piece-meal development. The City can, in cenain instances, overcome such obstacles by carefully crafting development agreements and restrictive covenants which provide for future development. For example, public right-ol-way can be required for future streets with provisions that funher development will result in street and utility assessments. Planned unit development can be used as a tool to accommodate the different timing of various landowner's development requests. Where it is not possible to facilitate coordination between landowners, subdivision should be deemed premature. As smaller pieces of land are resubdivided, lot configurations become a problem. Backlot divisions, flag lots and gerrymandered property lines undermine the benefits of building setbacks and disrupt continuity of open spaces. All subdivisions, regardless of size, should adhere to good planning and design principles. To this end, the use of formal platting procedures will be encouraged, while metes and bounds subdivisions will be approved only in the very simplest of cases. Housing Variety/Affordability Affordable housing strategy is beyond the scope of this plan. It is recommended that the City prepare a separate housing plan to address this issue. The plan should include an inventory of Shorewood's existing housing stock, including types and values and explore measures to encourage the development of affordable housing.
