ADJOURNMENT SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF CLAIMS (Attachment) JCH.al 2/12/93 MONDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1993 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SHOREWOOD CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA AGENDA ITEM 3A - The City should have two representatives to the West Hennepin Human Services Planning Board. In January the City Council appointed Jean Uglem. This resolution would appoint Sue Dotson, 19265 Shady Hills Road as the second representative. Sue is an active member of the League of Women Voters and is interested in being appointed to this board. AGENDA ITEM 3B - This resolution accepts the final change order and pay request, and accepts the work done by Rochon Corporation on the Public Works building. POSTPONED TO MARCH '~)1993. .' AGENDA ITEM 3C - This resolution proclaims the month of March as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Awareness month. This is done annually with the city Council. . . ~ .. ..... : AGENDA ITEM 3D - The action here is a simple motion to approve the annual half-marathan Easy Race to go through the city of Shorewood on May 2. This is an annual event. . AGENDA ITEM 3E - This resolution granting a conditional use permit for the construction of the maintenance/concession building at Freeman Park was deferred at the last City Council meeting because a 4/5 vote is necessary for its passage. AGENDA ITEM 5B - The action here is to direct staff to prepare findings of fact for preliminary plat for Deer Ridge development, just north of the Shorewood/Chanhassen border off of Koehnen Circle. A special agreement with the City of Chanhassen for services will be required. Please read the recommendations enclosed in the staff report. AGENDA ITEM 5C - This action is a motion to direct staff to prepare findings of fact for lot width and setback variances for Lance DeTrude, 26620 West 62nd Street. Basically, this action prearranges how his property can be subdivided into three lots with minimal problems. This is necessitated by the right-of-way condemnation for the Church Road water main project. AGENDA ITEM 5D - This proposed ordinance makes several changes to the Sign Code. The major change is to require campaign signs be located no closer than 10 I from any street surface and shall not be placed in front of any property without the consent of the property owner. AGENDA ITEM 6 - Public Works facility architect Nick Reuhl of EOS Architecture will be present to give the final report on the project.

Motion passed 3/0. 9. CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A ONE YEAR EXTENSION TO CONTRACT FOR DEED - WILLIAM BIGLEY. 5795 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD . Hurm referred to the Finance Director's February 2 memorandum outlining the request from William Bigley for extension of the term of Contract for Deed for one year to April 1, 1994. A final balloon payment for the property is due April 1, 1993. It is recommended that the Council approve the extension because the contract is current and the 10% interest rate is favorable to the City. Legal documentation will be prepared by Keane. It was noted that Attorney's fees would be billed to Mr. Bigley. Brancel stated that the City should not be in the business of carrying a Contract for Deed on house let alone owning houses, but agreed to limiting the extension to one year. Lewis and Benson agreed that the extension be limited to one year and further agreed the City should not be in the business owning/financing homes. Benson moved, Lewis seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 22-93 "A Resolution Extending the Term of the Contract for Deed for 5795 Country Club Road;" and 3 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 8, 1993 - PAGE 4 moved that attorney's fees related to this extension be paid by William Bigley, the purchaser/owner of the property; and that the extension will be limited to one year. Motion passed 3/0. 10. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL PLAT AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT - WATERFORD 4TH ADDITION Nielsen reviewed the request of David Carlson Companies for approval of the final plat and development agreement for Watertord 4th Addition consisting of 54 twinhome lots and three outlots. The plat is consistent with past approvals, however, issues to be addressed are primarily related to site landscaping. Nielsen reviewed the recommendations prepared by the staff to enhance and improve the perimeter and internal landscaping as well as for Outlot A, the twinhome common area. It is recommended that the final plat be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. . developer submits a revised landscape plan for the project entrance, 2. trees should be planted behind lots 13-20, Block 3, 3. landscape plan prepared for Outlot B, 4. plans and specifications for the utilities, grading, drainage and street construction must be approved by the City Engineer and drainage plans must also be approved by the Watershed District, 5. developer must submit estimates for required improvements from which the amounts of letters of credit will be determined, 6. assessments and fees owing against the property must be paid, 7. developer must submit plans and specifications for proposed retaining walls, and 8. developer must erect construction limits at the southeast corner of the site to preserve trees there prior to construction. Nielsen noted that the recommendations will be incorporated into the project development agreement. Nielsen responded to questions from the Councilmembers and clarified the sanitary . sewer access fees to be paid by the developer. Benson moved, Brancel seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 23-93 "A Resolution Approving Final Plat and Authorizing the Execution of the Development Agreement- Waterford 4th Addition." Motion passed 3/0. 11. RECONSIDER RENTAL HOUSING CODE Nielsen reviewed the background to the City's Rental Housing Code prepared in 1990 which provides rules and regulations pertaining to rental housing of all types. Before the Code was published, putting it legally into effect, the Council heard from a number of rental property owners who objected to not having input into development of the Code. The Council then directed staff to put the Code on hold and establish a committee to 4 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 8,1993 - PAGE 5 review the Code and comment to the City Council. To date, action has not been taken on the Code, therefore the Ordinance is not being enforced. Nielsen indicated the Council should decide whether to publish the Code and begin its enforcement or repeal it. . Nielsen reviewed the comments presented by the rental property owners regarding the Code. The most significant recommendation made by the Committee was that there should not be any Code, but if there is to be a Housing Code it should apply to all residential property not just rental property. Brancel expressed concern regarding existing problems with some rental property in Shorewood and stated support for enforcement of the Code. Brancel noted, however, that it would be appropriate to table discussion on this issue until the full Council is in attendance. . Nielsen reviewed zoning and building codes pertaining to rental housing. Keane stated that the existing Code appears to require some revisions and agreed to work with the staff to prepare an updated Code in draft form for the Council's consideration at a future meeting. Benson moved, Brancel seconded to table consideration of the Rental Housing Code for 30 days to the Council's meeting on Wednesday, March 10, 1993. Motion passed 3/0. 12. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR . Report from Senior Center Task F:orce - Bob Gagne Mr. Robert Gagne, member of the Task Force, reviewed the development and meetings of the Southshore Senior Center Task Force, which consists of members from Deephaven, Excelsior, Greenwood, Tonka Bay and Shorewood. Mr. Gerald Sjoberg, Southshore Center representative, reviewed the recommendations of the Task Force related to the need for a Senior Community Center and that the Center be located on the northeast corner of the Shorewood City Hall campus. The Task Force requests that the City accept its recommendations and authorize continuance of the Task Force so that it may continue further work related to a Senior/Community Center. Lewis stated additional information is necessary and suggested the Task Force work with the City staff to study and prepare information on the feasibility of the recommendations particularly as it relates to possible location of the building in Shorewood. 5 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 8, 1993 - PAGE 6 Brancel stated support for the recommendations, however, indicated that the matter should be addressed when all the Councilmembers are in attendance. Lewis moved, Benson seconded to authorize the Task Force to continue to gather information and make recommendations as to possible future actions regarding a Senior/Community Center. Motion passed 3/0. Mr. Ben With hart, Executive Director, Senior Community Services, invited the Councilmembers to attend a May 7th Tenth Anniversary Celebration and reported that the Senior Center Advisory Board agreed to raise $2,500 toward construction costs. Brancel and Hurm agreed to work with the Task Force to develop recommendations regarding operations, maintenance, construction and financing of a Senior Community .~ Center. Brancel commended the Task Force on its efficient execution of its responsibilities. 13. STAFF REPORTS A. City Attorney - None. B. City Engineer 1. Recommendation for Excelsior Boulevard Dresel stated that based on residents' concerns after the closing of some slip-ramps to TH-7, a speed survey conducted by Public Safety concluded that although there are some speeding vehicles on Excelsior Boulevard, this roadway is typically no different . than any other local residential street. The City then requested the Engineer to study this area in more detail. Dresel reported that a 24-hour traffic count resulted in 918 vehicles per day which is typical for a medium level residential- street. In addition, a site review was conducted to document the location of existing traffic signs, traffic control and the general characteristics of the roadway. Based on the collected data and the site review, Dresel indicated the roadway is operating satisfactorily for a local residential street. To increase the safety for vehicles and pedestrians, Dresel suggested the following improvements could be implemented: 1) install additional speed limit signs to reinforce the 30-mile per hour limit, 2) clear vegetation in the right-of-way to provide additional site distance in problem areas, and 3) improve the intersection of Old Excelsior Boulevard and St. Alban's Bay Road to provide for 4-way stop sign control to better delineate the westbound traffic on Excelsior Boulevard. Dresel estimated the cost for these improvements would be $3,000. Dresel reiterated, however, that no improvements are necessary since the roadway is operating satisfactorily for a local residential street. 6 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 8, 1993 - PAGE 7 Following discussion, the Councilmembers agreed that implementation of the recommendations was appropriate and suggested that Public Works use caution in removal of vegetation. Lewis moved, Benson seconded to authorize the implementation of the recommendations to increase safety as outlined in the Engineer's memorandum of February 2, 1993. Motion passed 3/0. C. City Planner - None. D. Finance Director - None. . E.. City Administrator 1 . Meeting Schedule Hurm briefly commented on the Council's March meeting schedule. Lewis moved, Benson seconded to re-schedule the Monday, March 8, 1993 Council meeting to Wednesday, March 10, 1993 at 7:00 p.m. Motion passed 3/0. COUNCIL REPORTS - None. 14. ADJOURNMENT SUBJECT TO APPROVAL OF CLAIMS . Lewis moved, Benson seconded to adjourn the City Council Meeting at 8:05 p.m. subject to the approval of claims. Motion passed 3/0.

SHOREWOOD, MINNESOTA 55331-8927 · (612)-474-3236 MEMORANDuM TO:. Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council . FROM: Brad Nielsen . DATE: 27 January 1993 RE: Deer Ridge - Preliminary Plat FILE NO.: 405,(92.33). . BACKGROUND , ( . Mr. Jeff Williams, representing J. Scotty Builders, has requested preliminary plat approval to divide approximately 5.1 acres of land located immediately west of W oodhaven Second Addition (see Site Location map ~. Exhibit A, attached) into .five lots. The land had been approved early in 1989 for a division into three lots, accessed by a private road. That division was never finalized and the current owner has managed to acquire control of land which had previously served as an access easement. In so doing, he is able to.dedicate right-of-way for apublic street. This allows him to plat more than three lots (Shorewood's policy for private streets restricts their use to three or fewer lots). . The plat is unusual because the street will start at Koehnen Circle in Chanhassen. In addition water and sanitary sewer service will be provided by Chanhassen. The site also drains south into Chanhassen. Due to these circumstances the project will require development agreements between the two cities. - . 'h... I \ - The subject site is zoned R-IC, Single-Family Residential./The layout and sizes of _. proposed lots are shown on Exhibit B. As shown the lots rangefrom 24,100 square feet in . area to 54,700 square feet and average 37,600 square feet. A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore 58 . ! , , Re: Deer Ridge Preliminary Plat 27 January 1993 ! ANALYSIS/RECOMMENDATION The five lots exceed the minimum width and area requirements of the R-1C district. As can be seen on Exhibit B, the buildable areas of all the lots are ample~ Most of the issues . which need to be addressed for this plat are related to the agreement between the developer and the two cities. Chanhassen has agreed to consider providing the utilities and allowing the access from Koehnen Circle based on the following understanding: a. Utilities will meet Chanhassen's standard construction specifications. The developer will pay all of Chanhassen's trunk and connection charges. . b. Ponding which will occur in Chanhassen shall comply with Chanhassen design standards. c. The new street would meet Chanhassen's standards or Shorewood's, whichever are higher. d. The new lots wilLbe assessed for future upgrading of Koehnen Circle. e. Shorewood will provide emergency safety services (e.g. police and fire) to the development.- '. The City of Shorewood shall plow Koehnen Circle in conjunction with Deer Ridge. . . / '- Chanhassen will provide routine maintenance (Le. patching, sealcoating, etc.) for Koehnen Circle. ~ " I, Shorewood will provide routine maintenance for Deer Ridge. Chanhassen's attorney will prepare an agreement for theappropri~te signatures. . With respect to the plat itself it isrecomIn~rided that the following conditions be imposed: -,.-/ 1. ~The applicant must provide plans and specifications for the street: utilities and grading and drainage. These will be subJect to review and approval by the Chanhassen CitY Engineer as well as our own City Engineer. .~ , " 2. The developer will be-required to provide a letter of credit in the amount of 110% of the cost of the utilities. A second letter of credit must be provided in the amount of 150 % of the cost of all other site improvements. . - 2 - . . Re: Deer Ridge Preliminary Plat 27 January 1993 3. The applicant must pay $3750 ($750 per lot) in park dedication fees. - . 4. Since the applicant pays Chanhassen's trunk sewer charges, local sanitary sewer - access charges (LSSAC) are not required. 5. Based upon input from the Public Works Director, the center island in the cul-de-sac must be eliminated. 6. The developer must provide a detailed grading plan showing access to Lot 1 with a maximum grade of 10%. 7. Outlot A should be made part of Lot 5.

I live in the Kordonowy Addition with my house in the SW comer, the comer that would be within 50 feet of the NE comer of the proposed new addition. The attached diagram . gives the approximate location. Although I wish the new developer much success, I have a few concerns that need to be expressed. The first is drainage and run-off. If not properly controlled and diverted, all of the drainage from this new development could flow directly into my backyard and basement. The lot line between proposed lots 2 and 3 could easily become a funnel, channeling all run-off into my land fifty feet below. This can not be allowed to happen. My second concern is economic in nature, and is one I am a bit reticent to bring forward, but I feel I must. The Shorewood Planning Department has worked hard to preserve the pleasant, family- oriented, neighborhood environment we all now enjoy. Part of the value of our community is the relative uniform neighborhood appeal that is generated by nicely kept yards surrounding medium to high value homes. Unfortunately, I don't feel that Chanhassen has maintained those same standards - particularly in the immediate area where. road access will be achieved to this proposed new development. I am concerned that the lack of an appealing standard in the Chanhassen homes that . surround the road access to this new development will be reflected in the value of the new homes constructed. Perhaps this is not the case, but I do not feel it is proper for the Shorewood Planning Department to allow a new development within 100 feet of homes that could vary in value by $200K to $700K from the new homes. Again, I don't know if that would happen - I'm only going by the value of the Chanhassen homes directly adjacent to the proposed new addition's road access. I appreciate you taking my concerns into consideration, and also appreciate all that the Planning Department has done for Shorewood. Best regards, fJ?~ T.J.

FROM: i Brad Nielsen ,..-.t., -, DATE: - 30 December 1992 'RE: DeTl11de, Lance - Lot Width and Setback Variance \ / " FILE NO. , 405 (92.34) BACKGROUND . Lance DeTrude owns the property at 26220 West 62nd Street (see Site Location map - Exhibit A, attached). The property had the potential to be divided into three lots, prior to the Church Road improvement project which condemned 12 feet of right-of-way on each side of Church Road. Now, in order to get three lots, a lot width variance- of approximately two feet is required. As part of a proposed settlement the City Attorney has also suggested u that the applicant be granted a setback variance so that the_ easternmost future clot will have a minimum 40-foot wide buildable area. This amounts to a variance of approximately eight feet. I \ --,.... The property is zoned R-1D, Single-family Residential and is occupied by Mr. DeTurde's home and an existing shed (see Exhibit B). The property contains approximately 34,920 square. feet of area. ANALYSIS/RECOMMENDATION {/ } ~ -.... "'< <' / . (- :~ "\ , It should be noted" that Mr. DeTrude isnotinterested~msubdividing his property at this , \ time. He simply wants the assurance' that it can be divided in the future. The lot width variance can -be justifj.ed due the City's taking of the right..:of-way. ,the j~pplicant's use of his property! is adversely affected by the condemnation. The setback' variance also has merit because' it results in the same buildable area as there would have been prior to the condemnation. When the property is subdivided, serious consideration should be given to givirig the westernmost interior lot the width variance. This will necessitate less of a setback variance on the' easternmost lot.

Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council FROM: Brad Nielsen . DATE: 27 January 1993 RE: DeTrude Variances - Clarification. FILE NO.: 405 (92.34) At the January meeting the Planning Commission requested additional information and clarification on my 30 December staff report. As I tried to explain at the meeting, the owner does not actually wish to subdivide his property at this time. He simply wants an assurance that, when he: is ready, he can still get three lots-out of his property, before he agrees to a condemnation settlement. In this regard staff had recommended that a resolution be recorded with the property granting him a lot width variance and a setback variance, which would apply at such time as the owner actually decided to divide his property. . .- . There was apparent confusion about the part of the recommendation which suggested that the width variance be considered for the westernmost lot, when the property is subdivided. It is still recommf:nded that the decision as to which lot gets the variance be made at the time of subdivision. Having the owner's surveyor layout the lot lines will be more accurate than the sketchwe have prepared (see Exhibit B of the previous staff report). .We have, however, looked at how the narrower lot width (approximately 73') would work on the westernmost lot. It appears that even with the width variance the lot .would still comply with the minimum lot area requirement (i.e. 10,000 square feet). .! Based on this analysis, the previous recommendation stands. If you have any questions relative to thlls matter, please call me prior to Tuesday's meeting. cc: Jim Hurm Tim Keane Joel Dresel Larry Martin lA1nce: DeTrude r A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore ... ~, -:'\ MAYOR Barb Brancel 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: 27 January 1993 RE: Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment - Signs FILE NO.: Zon. Ord. - 1201.03 Subd. 11 Last fall an issue was raised regarding the location of campaign signs near roadways. Although our current zoning regulations prohibit signs in the public right-of-way (government and traffic signs excepted), this provision has proven difficult to enforce, due to the number of signs displayed during a campaign and their temporary nature. . The difficulty arises in trying to determine where the right-of-way line is located. Streets vary in width and are not always centered within the r .0. w. - To simplify enforcement, staff suggests that a setback be adopted which is easily measurable in the field. The attached draft ordinance amendment proposes that J.lo sign shall be located within 10 feet of the paved surface of the street. Not only will this approach ease enforcement of the regulations, but it will make it easier for campaign staff to comply with City requirements. As a housekeeping measure the amendment changes the length of time 'campaign signs may be displayed from 60 days prior to an election to 90 days. This will make our Code consistent with State statutes. Another issue related to the City's sign requirements is the setback for permanent signs. The Code is silent with respect to the location of permanent signs. It is recommended that a provision be adopted which requires that signs be located no closer to any lot line than five feet. The attached amendment is scheduled for a public hearing for 2 February. If you have any questions relative to this matter, please call me prior to the meeting. cc: Jim Hurm Tim Keane A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore 5J) .?~, . .

CALL TO ORDER MINUTES Chair Rosenberger called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. ROLL CALL Present: Chair Rosenberger; Commissioners Bean, Bonach, Borken, Hansen, Malam and Pisula; Council Liaison Lewis; Planner Nielsen. Chair Rosenberger welcomed newly appointed Commissioners Ms. Bonach and Mr. Pisula; Council Liaison Lewis; and re-appointed Commissioners Hansen and Malam. . APPROVAL OF MINUTES Hansen moved, Borkon seconded to approve the minutes of the Commission's January 5, 1993 meeting. Motion passed 7/0. PROCEDURES Chair Rosenberger outlined procedures for Public Hearings: 1 . Staff presents oral report on the application/subject 2. Applicant may respond 3. Open to public for 3-4 minute individual comment 4: . Closed to public after each individual is heard 5. Commissioners discuss, ask questions of the applicant and/or the public, take action 1. 7:00 PUBLIC HEARING - PRELIMINARY PLAT - DEER RIDGE Applicant: Jeff Williams (J. Scotty Builders) Location: Approx. 5.1 acres immediately west of Woodhaven 2nd Addition Nielsen reviewed the Applicant's request for preliminary plat approval to divide approximately 5.1 acres of land located immediately west of Woodhaven Second Addition into five lots. He noted that in 1989 an approved three lot division accessed by a private road was not finalized and the current owner has acquired control of land which previously served as an access easement. In so doing, he is able to dedicate right-of- way for a public street and allows him to plat more than three lots. Nielsen stated the plat is unusual because the street begins at Koehnen Circle in Chanhassen. In addition, 1 ~ PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1993 - PAGE 2 water and sanitary sewer service will be provided by Chanhassen and the site also drains south into Chanhassen. Due to these circumstances, the project requires development agreements between the two cities. The site is zoned R-1C, single-family residential and lot size averages 37,600 square feet. Nielsen stated the plat is consistent with Shorewood's Comprehensive Plan and zoning ordinances. However, he pointed out there are a number of requirements related to agreements between the two cities. Chanhassen has given preliminary indication that it will consider providing the utilities and allowing access from Koehnen Circle based on the following understanding: a. Utilities will meet Chanhassen's standard construction specifications and the developer will pay all of Chanhassen's trunk and connection charges. b. Ponding which will occur in Chanhassen shall comply with Chanhassen design standards. c. The new street would meet Chanhassen's standards or Shorewood's, whichever are higher. d. The new lots will be assessed for future upgrading of Koehnen Circle. e. Shorewood will provide emergency police and fire services to the development. f. Shorewood shall plow Koehnen Circle in conjunction with Deer Ridge. g. Chanhassen will provide routine maintenance for Koehnen Circle. h. Shorewood will provide routine maintenance for Deer Ridge. i. Chanhassen's attorney will prepare an agreement for the appropriate signatures. Nielsen noted that the Council has favorably considered Shorewood's cooperation on the snow plowing and road maintenance arrangements with Chanhassen. Nielsen recommended the preliminary plat be approved subject to the following conditions with respect to the plat itself: 1. The applicant must provide plans and specifications for the street, utilities and grading and drainage which must be subject to review and approval by City Engineers of both cities and the watershed district. 2. The developer will be required to provide a letter of credit in the amount of 110% of the cost of the utilities for Chanhassen, and a second letter of credit in the amount of 150% of the cost of all other site improvements for Shorewood. 3. The applicant must pay $750 per lot in park dedication fees. 4. Local sanitary sewer access charges are not required since the applicant pays Chanhassen's trunk sewer charges. 5. The center island in the cul- de-sac must be eliminated. 6. The developer must provide a detailed grading plan showing access to Lot 1 with a maximum grade of 10%. 7. Outlot A should be made part of Lot 5. , If the developer wishes to assure the property owner to the south that vegetation in that location will be preserved, it should be accomplished by conservation easement. Nielsen stated that following approval of the preliminary plat, a three-way development agreement will be drawn up. Mr. Jeff Williams, the Applicant, stated that if possible he would like to have the island to provide for privacy for the lots directly north and noted that the cul-de-sac is not long. Mr. Rick Sather, engineer for the builder, stated that maintenance regarding the island is an issue, but it is a nice way to break up the sea of asphalt; would like to see it there and with trees planted there it would be better than looking at black-top. However, he stated it's the City's choice. 2 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1993 - PAGE 3 Williams stated that with regard to Outlot A, he has negotiated with the owner of the property on the south to make it an easement rather than an outlot, but was not sure if the owner was okay with that. Sather stated he wants to make sure trees get saved in that area; the strip will be created and deeded to the other person, but would not own the easement. He rndicated this will be acceptable to the owner. Sather stated he works with staff in many different communities and commended Shorewood's staff for working with the Chanhassen staff to expedite this request on a cooperative basis. Chair Rosenberger opened the Public Hearing at 7:15 p.m. AI Whitaker stated: I live on lot 6 directly adjacent to lot 3. I'm curious as to what is going in there, what type of housing, and anything that can be done to minimize the impact on the area. Williams stated he plans to live in the area himself and privacy is important to him; the homes will be nice. Lee Paris, Stratford Place, stated: Been watching the deer go through back and forth there, they are quite a sight, it's ironic it's named Deer Ridge and would hate to see them leave, but I guess that's not enough to stop progress. Chair Rosenberger closed the Public Hearing at 7:20 p.m. Hansen stated that he understands the Applicant's concern with regard to the center island to avoid an expanse of concrete, however, a primary concern is the safety of residents and movement of fire equipment. It would be desirable to allow for flexibility for the movement of such equipment. Hansen requested clarification on the easement of 'Outlot A. Nielsen stated that the easement is designed to avoid gerry-mandering of lot lines and complications regarding taxes on the small strip. Bean requested clarification on the maintenance of the subject streets. Nielsen stated that the new street is for Shorewood residents and that the tax base generated by the five lots far exceeds the cost for the cooperative maintenance. Bean asked whether it would be feasible for Chanhassen to provide fire and police service. Nielsen stated that Shorewood is closer to provide the service and 911 aspects are better served by Shorewood. Borkon requested clarification on the differences between Shorewood's and Chanhassen's ponding standards. Nielsen stated while Chanhassen has adopted more formal standards (NERF), Shorewood's standards are adequate for the man-made pond. Borkon requested clarification on the effect on wildlife in the area. Nielsen stated there would be little effect. Nielsen described the grading and drainage to be provided in the development. Borkon asked whether the fire marshall has been contacted regarding adequacy of the turn-around for safety equipment should the island be approved. Nielsen 3 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1993 - PAGE 4 stated the issue has only been addressed in relation to maintenance of the cul-de-sac, and suggested that the matter be referred to the marshall. Nielsen provided additional clarification regarding Outlot A. Sather provided dimensional information regarding the island and the cul-de-sac pointing out that the island has pluses and minuses. Hansen reiterated concerns regarding mobility of equipment to provide safety and fire control for the residents. Bonach noted that the Applicant as a future resident in the development should be cognizant of the need for adequate fire protection. Hansen moved, Malam seconded to recommend to the Council that it approve the Deer Ridge preliminary plat subject to acceptance of conditions 1 - 7 recommended by the staff. Bean stated the recommendation should include items a.-i. Hansen stated he viewed those issues as outside of the Commission's jurisdiction and an agreement between Shorewood and Chanhassen. The Commissioners discussed the center island in the cul-de-sac. Hansen withdrew the motion. Borkon moved, Malam seconded to recommend to the Council that it approve the Deer Ridge preliminary plat taking into consideration the agreement (a. through i.) between Chanhassen and Shorewood and subject to staff recommendations (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7) and that with the approval of the fire marshall, the center island in the cul-de-sac be permitted. Motion passed 7/0. On behalf of the Commission, Borkon commended the Applicant's cooperation with the neighborhood. 2. PUBLIC HEARING - LOT WIDTH AND SETBACK VARIANCES (continued from January 5 meeting) Applicant: Location: Lance DeTrude 26620 West 62nd Street Chair Rosenberger noted the continuance of the public hearing on this matter from the January 5 meeting. . '0+ LV I ct-I--h se..+ho..dt- Nielsen reviewed the Applicant's request for approval of ~cubdivbtofl and^variances pointing out that the owner does not actually wish to subdivide his property at this time. He simply wants an assurance that, when he is ready to subdivide, he can still get three lots out of his property before he agrees to a condemnation settlement. Staff recommends granting a lot width variance and a setback variance recorded with the 4 .. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1993 - PAGE 5 property which would apply at such time as the owner actually decided to divide his property. Nielsen reviewed the recommendation as it relates to placing the lot width variance on the western most lot since it is an interior lot and would have only two side yard set backs to contend with. He pointed out, however, that it appears the narrower lot width (approximately 73') would comply with the minimum lot area requirement of 10,000 square feet. Nielsen stated that determination of the actual variance should be made at the time the Applicant requests subdivision of the property. Based on this analysis, Nielsen reiterated staff's recommendations. Nielsen stated that Mr. DeTrude appears to be satisfied with the recommendations including the perpendicular lot lines. Chair Rosenberger opened and closed the Public Hearing at 7:52 p.m. there being no comments from the Public. Bean asked for clarification of the language to be recorded with the property. Nielsen stated that upon adoption of a resolution by the Council, the resolution would be recorded with the property stating the variances approved. Borkon asked whether there would be any circumstances under which changes could be made to the resolution. Nielsen stated that rezoning of the property would change the recorded approval and/or if at the time of subdivision the Applicant could demonstrate that the width variance was better on another lot. It was noted that the building on the property must be removed. Bean moved, Borkon seconded to recommend to the Council that it approve the Applicant's request for a lot width variance and a setback variance and further recommend that at the time of subdivision the lot width variance be applied to the western-most lot and that lot lines be made as perpendicular to West 62nd Street as reasonably possible. Motion passed 7/0. 3. 7:15 PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT - SIGN REQUIREMENTS Nielsen reviewed the background to the zoning ordinance text amendment, noting that the issue involves the location of political campaign signs near roadways. He described the difficulty in enforcing the current regulations prohibiting signs in the public right-of- way due to varying street widths and lack of street centering within the right-of-way. Staff recommends that a easily measurable setback be adopted to simplify enforcement and compliance. The amendment proposes that political signs shall not be located closer than 10 feet of the paved surface of any street and shall not be placed in front of any property without the consent of the property owner. The amendment also changes the length of time campaign signs may be displayed from 60 days prior to an election to 90 days to make the Code consistent with State statutes. In addition, the amendment includes a provision requiring that permanent signs be located no closer to any lot line than 5 feet. 5 ... PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1993 - PAGE 6 Chair Rosenberger opened and closed the Public Hearing at 8:05 p.m., there being no comments from the public. It was noted that unchanged permanent signs will be grandfathered. In response to Bonach's question" regarding similar regulations in other communities, it was noted that most municipalities prohibit signs in the public right-of-way. Bean moved, Borkon seconded to recommend to the Council that it approve the Amendment to the City Code relating to Zoning Regulations - Signs, as recommended by the staff. Motion passed 7/0. 4. STUDY SESSION - COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Update Review Schedule Transportation Policy Plan Nielsen stated the Study Session is re-scheduled to the February 16 meeting. Hansen distributed copies of his memorandum dated October 12, 1992 regarding public transportation. f... 5. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR - None. 6. REPORTS Lewis briefly commented on Council discussions at its January 25 meeting. i In response to Hansen's question regarding Planning Commissioners' terms, Nielsen stated that the staff is preparing by-laws of the Commission for future review. Borkon moved, Bean seconded to designate Commissioner Hansen to the position of Park Commission liaison. Motion passed 7/0. 7. ADJOURNMENT Hansen moved, Borkon seconded to adjourn the meeting at 8:12 p.m. Motion passed 7/0. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED Arlene H. Bergfalk Recording Secretary TimeSavers Off Site Secretarial 6
