Councilmember Daugherty
The Council discussed how to handle the appointment of a Planning
commissioner to fulfill the term of resigning Commissioner Louise
Bonach. Three resumes were available from individuals who had been
interviewed for the Planning Commission in January. The Council
felt that the Planning Commission opening should be advertised one
time in the local paper. If any new individuals apply they could be
interviewed before a City Council meeting. Those that have been
interviewed in January need not be reinterviewed.
There being no further business, the Mayor adjourned the work
session at 6:55 p.m.

REGUlAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
JULY 12, 1993 - PAGE 2
Motion passed 3/1. Lewis voted nay.
Stover expressed concern regarding the proposed one-way traffic pattern in the C.U.P.
application, and stated that if approved, it will create a severe potential hazard. Since the
Council is responsible for the safety and welfare of the citizens, Stover indicated she could
not vote for approval of the C.U.P. resolution. Further, she noted that while the applicant's
proposal contains a number of improvements, the limited size of the site precludes a two-
way traffic pattern, the applicant currently has reasonable use of the property, and
modifications to the proposal to eliminate the traffic/safety hazard should be considered to
make the proposal acceptable.
Brancel noted that the applicant was not notified that one Councilmember would not be in
attendance at this meeting. Keane stated the Council may at it's discretion either act on the
motion or move to continue the matter at a future meeting.
Lewis stated the applicant has appeared before the Planning Commission and the City a .
number of times and has demonstrated extraordinary willingness to improve the property
and to develop an adequate plan to the satisfaction of the City.
The Council agreed the applicant is justified in having the full Council present to consider
the C.D.P. resolution.
Lewis moved, Brancel seconded to continue to a future Council meeting consideration of
a motion to adopt a resolution approving findings of fact for C.D.P. and variances for Vine
Hill Market, 19215 State Highway 7.
Motion passed 4/0.
4. PARK
.
Hurm noted that plans and specifications for tennis courts at Silverwood Park will be
presented for the Council's consideration at its July 26th meeting.

Hurm stated this Item is removed from the agenda since the Council will interview
applicants for the position and make an appointment to the Commission in August.
Doug Malam, Planning Commissioner, reported the discussions and actions taken at the
Commission's July 6 meeting including unanimously recommending approval of a simple
subdivision/combination and C.U.P. revision for Minnewashta Elementary School and of a
preliminary plat for James Hill; and voted 4/2 to table action on a simple subdivision and
lot width variance for Wallace and Elizabeth Peck.

6. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION ORDERING PlANS & SPECIFICATIONS FOR
SEASONS ELDERLY HOUSING PROrnCf
Dresel reported on the continuing discussions with MNDot for its funding participation for
rehabilitation of the storm sewer running through the project. He stated it appears MNDot
is willing to negotiate funding to the maximum of its existing policy, but would not likely
fund the complete remainder of the storm sewer costs. It is their opinion that the City is
responsible since it is the City's water draining through the pipe. Dresel stated an option
for funding would be to add the remainder to the assessment of the project; however, the
developer, Mr. Boyer, requests that the Council consider the City's participation in view of
the type of project, that of senior housing.
.
Dresel indicated another alternative would be through a tax district, however, the legal
process would unacceptably delay the project and the small dollar amount involved does not
make that approach economically viable. Dresel stated that while the end of the existing
pipe is underneath Old Excelsior Boulevard which is the City's right-of-way and
responsibility, additional funding from MNDot may be negotiated.
It was pointed out that City participation could be funded through the Storm Sewer
Management program; however, since it was just begun this year, little funds are currently
available. Dresel suggested that funds could be used from another source such as from the
City's Road and Bridge account with reimbursement to that account when storm sewer funds
become available. He stated the unfunded portion is $55,000 and estimated that MNDot
may fund $30,000-$40,000 with the remainder being $15,000-$25,000.
..
Dresel pointed out that regional benefits will result from the sewer improvements in that
the area to the east and south will also be affected. Dresel indicated that the pipes are
deteriorated to the point that water discharges into the surrounding area including that of
the developer. Dresel noted the developer's share of the total cost is $35,000.
During discussion, the Council agreed that assisting elderly housing may set a precedent for
future similar developments, acknowledged that increased assessments add to the cost of the
units, reiterated their view that the responsibility remains with the developer and requested
the Engineer to prepare a plan for the Council's consideration including further negotiation
with MNDot for funding the necessary sewer repairs.
Mr. Boyer, the Seasons' developer, described how the storm sewer is dumping water on his
property noting that drainage impacts a much larger area than just his property and
improvements will benefit the entire area. He stated his appreciation of the Council's
consideration of funding assistance for the necessary repair work. He circulated an updated
drawing of a typical unit and reported that questions regarding decks/patios/screened
porches for the units have been resolved.

7. SOUTHSHORE SENIOR COMMUNITY CENTER - TASK FORCE REPORT
Hurm indicated action on a resolution is not requested at this time and brought the
Council's attention to a written report dated June 23, 1993: "Southshore Senior/Community
Center Task Force Update," which describes the continuing work of the Task Force.
8. CONSIDERATION OF THE PURCHASE OF A MITA COPIER IN 1993
Rolek reviewed the recommendation for purchase of a Mita Model DC-5685 copier priced
at $10,933. The copier was to be purchased in 1994, however, due to an expected price
increase, it is recommended that the copier be leased for six months as the retailer has
agreed to apply all lease payments to the purchase price, with the balance due paid in
January 1994. It is further recommended that the City keep the present copier as a back-up
since the price does not include a trade-in allowance and the copier would serve increased
demand and usage.
Stover moved, Benson seconded to authorize the purchase of a Mita Copier under the terms
outlined in Finance Director Rolek's memorandum dated July 1, 1993.
.
Motion passed 4/0.
9. MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT FOR METROPOLITAN COUNcn.. TO
PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSIST ANCE IN PROGRAM REVIEW / ANALYSIS TO
lAKE MINNETONKA CfllES
Hurm explained the agreement of services between the Lake Minnetonka area cities and
the Metropolitan Council for Met Council staff assistance in undertaking the cooperation
study. The intent of the study is to analyze each service to determine options for providing
the service.
Benson stated there is no cost related to the study except for staff time and noted there is
a great deal of valuable information to be gained.
.
Benson moved, Stover seconded to authorize execution of the Memorandum of Agreement
for Metropolitan Council to Provide Technical Assistance in Program Review/Analysis to
Lake Minnetonka Area Cities.
Motion passed 4/0.
Hurm requested the Councilmembers to consider recommendations of individuals for
appointment to an advisory group to oversee the work of the study group.

11. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
Mrs. Vogel, 19795 Excelsior Boulevard, brought the Council's attention to flooding on her
property which she believes is caused by problems with the drainage system. Dresel
stated this is part of the Seasons senior housing development drainage problems and
requested Mrs. Vogel to contact him with regard to plans for solving the problems
described and for information for a contact person at MNDot.
12. ADMINISTRATOR AND STAFF REPORTS
Attorney's Report on Sewer Backup Insurance Investigation
Keane briefly commented on the continuing negotiations regarding insurance coverage
of a resident's sewer backup damage claim.
.
Hurm brought the Council's attention to the "Mediation Handbook for Cities" published
jointly by the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities, Minnesota Office of Dispute
Resolution, and the Metropolitan Council.
13. MAYOR AND COUNCIL REPORTS

Control Commission.

A
Joint Meeting with Planning Commission on the Transportation Chapter of the
Comprehensive Plan (postponed from June 14 & 28)
.
Nielsen stated the Planning Commission has conducted a comprehensive review of the
Transportation Chapter during the past several months and recommends that it be accepted
for the transportation element of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
The basic goal of the Transportation Plan is: "The City shall provide and maintain a safe
and efficient system of transportation, sensitive to the.. needs of residents and the
environment of the community." Nielsen distributed a Chapter Summary containing 12
recommendations based upon the goals, objectives and policies. He reviewed each of the
recommendations and answered questions. The Planning Commissioners added further
clarification of the recommendations.
.
The Councilmembers provided policy direction and noted that a public hearing will be
conducted in connection with final approval of the Transportation Plan. With respect to
recommendation number 12, "Consider prohibiting the use of snowmobiles within the
community," the Council requested the Park Commission to prepare a recommendation on
the current snowmobile ordinance including consideration of the curfew; use of the
hiking/biking trail; use of snowmobiles on roadways; and enforcement; with the idea of
preserving the use of snowmobiles within the community.
Following discussion, the Council generally accepted the recommendations contained in the
Chapter Summary of the Transportation Plan as presented by Nielsen and developed by the
Planning Commission.
B. Discuss Badger/Woodhaven Wells - CIP Review
Hurm reviewed the alternatives and cost analysis developed for the Badger well: 1) leave
as a separate Shorewood water system; 2) hook the system up to the Tonka Bay water
system; 3) hook the system up to the Excelsior water system. Future repairs to the well and
replacement of the building housing the well are anticipated.

Following discussion, the Council recommended that staff further pursue the possibility
of hooking the system up to the Tonka Bay water system.
Hurm reviewed the options developed for the Woodhaven well: 1) leave the system as
is, or 2) connect the system to either Excelsior or Chanhassen systems the cost of which
is estimated at $48,800.
Following discussion, the consensus of the Council was to leave the Wood haven well
system as it is currently operating.

Brancel suggested changes in the Council's work session dates. A revised schedule will
be circulated to the Councilmembers.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Brad Nielsen
DATE:
1 July 1993
.
RE:
Minnewashta Elementary School - Subdivision/Combination and
C.U.P. Revision
FILE NO.:
405 (93.17)
BACKGROUND
In August of last year the City granted a conditional use permit for the expansion of the .
Minnewashta Elementary School, located at 26350 Smithtown Road (see Site Location map
-Exhibit A, attached). At the time their c.u.p. was approved School District officials.
indicated that they were negotiating to purchase additional. land to the west of the school in
order to improve their parking lot design.
.
The School District has now purchased the 5.57 acre parcel at 26410 Smithtown Road.
They propose to subdivide off a 40,000 square foot parcel with an existing house and
combine.the remaining 4.65 acres with the school property (see.Exhibit B). They then
propose to build a new parking lot to the west of the existing parking lot and building (see
Exhibit C). The new parking lot plan requires a revision to their c~rrent c.u.p.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
A. Subdivision/Combination. The newly purchased property contains a house and five
accessory buildings. Four of the outbuildings will be removed from the site and the
existing garage will be relocated to comply with R-IA zoning district setback
requirements.
The proposed lot (parcel B) complies with R-IA area and width requirements. The
applicant's surveyor shows seven-foot drainage and utility easements along the west,
north and east boundaries of the new lot. These should be changed to 10 feet to
comply with current Subdivision Code requirements. .

Re: Minnewashta Elementary School
Subdivision/Combination and C.U.P. Revision
1 July 1993
It is worth noting that with the purchase of the five-acre parcel, the School District is
considering selling the westerly 10 acres of the school property (see Exhibit D).
B. Revised Site Plan. The new parking configuration provides 75 parking spaces for
employees and visitors, plus 13 spaces for buses to load and unload. Additional
overflow parking is provided north of the school building. The parking lot complies
with all dimensional requirements of the Shorewood Zoning Code.
A revised landscape plan is shown on Exhibit E. The plan takes advantage of several
existing mature evergreen trees, adding to them to provide a buffer between the
. school and the existing house.
Grading and drainage were raised as issues in the August, 1992 c. u. p. The City
Engineer addresses these items under separate cover.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed division/combination complies with all lot size requirements of the
Shorewood Zoning Code. The proposed parking lot increases parking capacity and
improves overall circulation. It is therefore recommended that the division/combination
and revised c.u.p. be approved subject to the following:
.1. The applicant must provide deeds for the 10-foot drainage and utility easements.
.
2. The four sheds should be removed and the garage relocated by 30 September 1993.
3. The easements and the Council resolution approving the division and combination
must be recorded by 31 August 1993.
4. The parking lot must be completed by 1 November 1993.
5. Landscaping must be completed by 1 November 1993.
6. Park dedication fees and local sewer access charges are not required.
7. Grading, darinage and erosion control are subject to review and approval by the City
Engineer and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.

Re: Minnewashta School Site
OSM File 5047.00
Dear Mr. Nielsen:
.
We have reviewed a Grading and Drainage Plan of the referenced site prepared by
Otto & Associates dated June 1, 1993 from an engineering standpoint. We offer the
following comments:
1) The slopes off the northwest comer of the site appear to be slightly steeper than
the allowed 3:1. They should be more clearly labeled for construction;
2) The pipe grades north of MH-2 appear to be inadequate. This could simply be a
typographical error, but it should be checked by the designer;
3) Location and access for a future City water reservoir should be discussed. The
overall site plan (separate from our review of grading) shows a location for a
future water tower, but does not indicate surface elevation, access, or proposed
piping location.
.
As always, please do not hesitate to call me with any questions.
Sincerely,
ORR-SCHELEN-MA YERON
& ASSOCIATES

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Planning CommissIon, Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Brad Nielsen
.
DATE:
1 July 1993
RE:
James Hill - Preliminary Plat
FILE NO.:
405 (93.18)
BACKGROUND
Mr. James Robin proposes to subdivide his property at 23420 Park Street (see Site Location
map - Exhibit A, attached) into four single-family residential lots (see Exhibit B). The
property is located in the R-ID, Single-Family Residential zoning district.
.
The site is occupied by the applicant's home and two garages and contains 67,340 square
feet of area. As can be seen on Exhibit B one of the garages is located only four feet from
the Glencoe Road right-of-way. He proposes to divide the property into four lots ranging
in size from 13,314 square feet to 24,300 square feet.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
The plat meets or exceeds the requirements of the Shorewood Zoning Code. Following is
how it compares with R-ID lot size requirements:
Lot Area (sq. ft.):
Lot Width (ft.):
Lot Depth (ft.):
R-ID Requirement
10,000

Lot 3 .

Lot 4

The plat as proposed creates a nice transition between lots to the west, which are larger,
and lots to the east which are smaller.

Re: James Hill
Preliminary Plat
1 July 1993
There are some issues which need to be addressed as part of this plat approval:
A. Glencoe Road is substandard with respect to right-of-way width. The Code requires
50 feet, 10 feet more than the existing r.o.w. The final plat should dedicate an
additional 10 feet on the east side of Glencoe Road. It should be noted that Lots 1
and 2 will still meet or exceed R-1D lot size requirements.
'.
B. The nonconforming accessory building near Glencoe Road must be removed or
moved into the buildable area of Lot 1. If this is not completed by the time the final
plat is submitted, the applicant should be required to submit estimates for the cost of
removal or relocation. Upon verification of the adequacy of the estimates, he must
provide a cash escrow or letter of credit which will guarantee compliance in no more
than six months.
C. The final plat must include "Block I" and provide drainage and utility easements, 10
feet on each side of each rear and side lot line.
D. Sanitary sewer is available to the property, however, lines stop short of directly
serving Lot 4. As part of the fmal plat the applicant should demonstrate how Lot 4
will be served.
E. . Park dedication fees for the plat will be $2250 ($750 x 3). Credit is allowed for the
lot with the ~xisting house on it.
.
F. Local sanitary sewer access charges will be $3000 ($1000 x 3). Credit is allowed for
the lot with the existing house on it.
RECOMMENDATION
Based upon the preceding it is recommended that the preliminary plat for James Hill.be
approved subject to the following:
1. The final plat shall dedicate 10 feet of additional right-of-way for Glencoe Road.
2. The nonconforming garage must be removed or relocated prior to final plat approval.
As an alternative the applicant may provide an escrow to guarantee compliance within
six months of final plat approval.
3. The final plat must include "Block 1".

Preliminary Plat

4. Drainage and utility easements must be provided on all lots.
5. The applicant must demonstrate how sanitary sewer service will be provided to Lot 4.
6. Prior to release of a final plat the applicant must pay $2250 in park dedication fees
and $3000 in sanitary sewer access charges.
7. A fmal plat ,must be submitted within six months of the Council's approval of the
preliminary plat.
8. At the time the final plat is submitted the applicant must provide a title opinion (up-
to-date within 30 days) or a title commitment for review by the City Attorney.

Your Hona and Council Members:
I am writing in response to the recent newsletter artide regarding reconstruction of city
streets. As always. I'd like to get my "two cents worth" in. I hope that you are taking into
consideration the possibility of expanding the city water system in the future when you consider
whether or not to resurface our streets. There are many among us who would not look kindly
upon spending the large sums necessary to resurface the city streets, and then tearing them up
shortly thereafter to install city water.
Unfortunately. it seems that the residents of Shorewood will always be hounded by our
shortsighted decision to install only sewer when we had every street in the city torn up. It would
be a shame to commit a similar blunder when we are considering rebuilding our streets. I would
recommend patching and repairing until a determination is made about the future of city water
for all the residents of Shorewood.
An additional comment regarding the reason fa our roads not lasting the 40 year namal
life span- I don't think our repairlresealing cyde is often enough. I can only remember Brand
Cirde being re-done two a three times in 22 years.
Thank you fa taking the time to consider this letter.
Sincerely.
~4~

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 901 OF THE
SHOREWOOD CITY CODE ADOPTING AN ASSESSMENT
POLICY FOR STREET RECONSTRUCTION
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SHOREWOOD, MINNESOTA, ORDAINS:
Section 1. Section 901.04 is renumbered as Section 901.05.
Section 2. Chapter 901 of the Shorewood City Code is hereby
amended by adding the following:
SECTION 901.04 - STREET ASSESSMENT POLICY
Subd. 1 - SCOPE AND PURPOSE
.
This policy is intended to provide a fair, equitable, and
consistent means of allocating the cost of street
reconstruction improvements to existing streets. This policy
does not apply to new construction nor to maintenance
functions which are defined as patching, seal coating and
overlay. Street reconstruction is considered to be any
street improvement over and above these maintenance
functions.
Subd. 2 - DEFINITIONS
b.
a. Adjusted Front Footage: A method for determining the
average front footage for odd-shaped lots which would be
equivalent to the footage of a rectangular shaped lot of
the same area and depth.
Building Site: An area of land on which a building
exists or an area of land meeting city code requirements
on which a building could be constructed.
.
c. Construction Cost: Amount paid to contractors for
constructing th~ improvements.
d. Construction Interest: Cost of financing the
improvements from the time the project is initiated
until the assessment roll is approved by the City
Council, less any interest earned on invested funds.
The interest rate will be at the expected assessment
rate.
e. Equivalent Residential Units: Equivalent residential
units are the number of assessment units into which a
large or unplatted parcel of land, which abuts a City
functionally classified collector or arterial street, is
divided in order to determine an assessment rate. The
number of equivalent residential units is determined by
dividing the adjusted front footage of the parcel by the
average street footage of the project.
.r. k'n~ * / B
f. Front Footage: The shortest dimensions of existing or
potential sites abutting the streets.
g. Lot: Land occupied or to be occupied by a building and
its accessory buildings, together with such open spaces
as are required under the provisions of this zoning
regulation having not less than the minimum area
required by this Zoning Ordinance for a building site in
the district in which such lot is situated and having
its principal frontage on a street, or a proposed street
approved by the Council.
h. Lot: Corner: A lot situated at the junction of and
abutting on two (2) or more intersecting streets; or a
lot at the point of deflection in alignment of a single
street, the interior angle of which is one hundred
thirty-five degrees (1350) or less.
i.
proiect Cost (Total Cost of Improvements): All
construction costs, plus costs for administration,
engineering, legal, fiscal, easement acquisition
assessing, and any project related work previously done
but not assessed.
.
j. Residential Unit: A residential unit is a platted
single family residential lot which, in accordance with
the City of Shorewood's zoning and subdivision
regulation, cannot be further subdivided.
k. Side footage: The longest dimension of existing or
potential corner building sites abutting the street.
Subd. 3 - SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS
a. Benefit Principle
Special assessments, as authorized by Minnesota State .
Law, Chapter 429, may be levied only upon property
receiving a special benefit from the improvement. In
Minnesota, the Constitution and courts apply this
general rule by placing the following limitations upon
the power to levy special assessments: 1) the rate must
be uniform and consistent upon all property receiving
special benefit; 2) the assessment must be confined to
property specially benefitted; and 3) the amount of the
assessment must not exceed the special benefit.
The special assessment is a financial tool employed by
the City of Shorewood as a means of allocating the costs
of specific improvement projects to the benefitted
properties and spreading those costs over a number of
years as specified by the City Council.
2.
Special assessments are billed to the property owner
along with real estate taxes. There is, however, a
distinct difference between taxes and special
assessments. Real estate taxes are a function of the
real estate value as determined by the municipal
assessor, while special assessments are a direct
function of the enhancement of value or the benefit
which a specific improvement gives to the property.
b. Consistent & Eauitable
Once an improvement project is initiated and it is
determined that the improvements are necessary and
desirable, the special assessment procedure is intended
to equitably and consistently allocate and levy the cost
of specific improvements to the benefitted properties.
.
The City must recover the appropriate portion of the
expense of installing public improvements, if
undertaken, while ensuring that each parcel pays its
fair share of the project cost in accordance with these
assessment guidelines.
This policy sets forth the general assessment methods
and policies to be utilized by the City Administrator
and City Engineer when preparing assessment rolls for
approval by the City Council so as to assure uniform and
consistent treatment to the various properties from year
to year. The following policy is general in nature, and
that certain circumstances may justify deviations from
stated policy as determined by the City Council.
Subd. 4 - SPECIAL ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE
.
A flow chart on the Shorewood Public Improvement Process for
Special Assessment projects giving a detailed explanation of
the process is shown on the next page.
a. Initiatinq the Proceedings
Improvement proceedings may be initiated in anyone (1)
of the following three (3) ways:
1. By a petition signed by the owners of not less than
thirty-five percent (35~) of the frontage of the
real property abutting on the streets named as the
location of the improvement;
2. By a petition signed by 100~ of the owners of real
property abutting any street named as the location
of the improvement. Upon receipt of a petition of
100~ of the abutting property owners, the City
Council must determine that it has been signed by
100~of the owners of the affected property. After
3.
making this determination, a feasibility report
shall be undertaken and the project may be ordered
without a public hearing; or
3. By the initiative of the City Council.
petitions for improvement shall be referred for
Administrative report and estimated budget. A simple
majority vote of the City Council is needed to start the
proceedings. Whether initiating the proceedings or
accepting a petition requesting such proceedings, the
City Council may simultaneously order a feasibility
report on the proposed improvement. Feasibility reports
shall be paid for by the City in the case of street
reconstruction projects and recouped once the project is
completed under the terms of this policy.
b. Preparing the Feasibilitv Study
An improvement project which is initiated by action of .
the City Councilor by a 35% petition may be ordered
only after a public hearing. Prior to adopting a
resolution calling a public hearing on an improvement,
the Council must secure from the City Engineer a report
advising it in a preliminary way as to:
1. Whether the proposed improvement is feasible;
2. Whether the proposed improvement is consistent with
Capital Improvement Planning;
3. Whether the improvement should be made as proposed
or in connection with some other improvement;
4. The estimated cost of the improvement;
5.
A proposed project schedule; and
.
6. Any other information thought pertinent and
necessary for complete Council consideration.
c. Holding a Public Hearing on the Improvement
Improvement projects which are initiated by a 100%
petition may be ordered by the City Council without a
public hearing if the City Council determines the
project may be undertaken without unreasonable changes
to the Capital Improvement Finance Plan or the
petitioning property owners agree to pay 100% of the
cost of the improvements.
In the case of a Council-initiated project or petition
of less than 100% of abutting property owners, the
Council must adopt a resolution calling a public hearing
4.
.
.
on the improvement project for which mailed and
published notices of the hearing must be given. The
notice of public hearing must include the following
information:
1) The time and place of hearing;
2) The general nature of the improvements;
3) The estimated cost; and
4) The area proposed to be assessed.
Not less than ten (10) days before the hearing, the
notice of hearing must be mailed to the owner of each
parcel in the area proposed to be assessed. The notice
of public hearing must be published in the City's legal
newspaper at least twice, each publication being at
least one week apart, with the last publication at least
three (3) days prior to the hearing.
At the public hearing, the contents of the feasibility
study will be presented and discussed with the intent of
giving all interested parties an opportunity to be heard
and their views expressed.
d.
Ordering the Improvement and Ordering Preparation of
Plans & Specifications
Following a public hearing a resolution ordering the
improvement may be adopted at any time within six (6)
months after the date of the hearing by a four-fifths
(4/5) vote of the City Council, unless the petition was
initiated by a 35% petition in which event it may be
adopted by a majority vote. The resolution may reduce,
but not increase, the extent of the improvement as
stated in the notice. At this time a special assessment
is considered to be "pending" for all assessable
properties in the improvement area.
After the order of an improvement project, the City
Council must order the preparation of plans and
specifications which may be included as part of the
resolution ordering the improvements. When the Council
determines to make any improvement, it shall let the
contract for all or part of the work, or order all or
part of the work done by day labor, no later than one
(1) year after the adoption of the resolution ordering
such improvement unless a different time limit is
specifically stated in the resolution ordering the
improvement.
5.
e. Advertisinq for Bids
If the estimated cost of the improvement exceeds
$25,000, bids must be advertised for in the legal
newspaper and such other papers and for such length of
time as the City Council deems desirable. If the
estimated cost of the improvement exceeds $100,000, the
advertisement must be in a paper published in a first
class city, or in a trade paper not less than three (3)
weeks before the last date for submission of bids. The
notice must contain the following information:
1. The work to be done;
2. The time when bids will be publicly opened, which
must be not less than ten (10) days after the first
publication of the advertisement when the cost is
less than $100,000, and not less that three (3)
weeks after publications in all other cases, and
3.
A statement that no bids will be considered unless
they are sealed and accompanied by cash, a
cashier's check, bid bond or certified check for
such percentage of the bid as specified by the City
Council.
.
f. Awarding Contracts
Following receipt of the bids, the City Council must
either:
1. Award the contract to the lowest responsible
bidder; or
2. Reject all bids.
The contact must be awarded no later than one (1) year .
after the adoption of the resolution ordering the
improvement unless that resolution specifies a different
time limit.
The City Council may purchase the materials and order
'the work done by day labor or in any manner it deems
proper if:
1. The initial cost of the entire work does not exceed
$25,000;
2. No bid is submitted after advertisement; or
3. The only bids are higher than the engineer's
estimate.
6 .
g.' Preoarinq Prooosed Assessment Roll
.
h.
After the expenses incurred or to be incurred in the
completion on an improvement have been calculated as
defined in Section VI-C Project Costs, the City Council
must determine the amount it will pay and the amount to
be specially assessed. The City Engineer and
Administrator/Clerk must calculate the amount to be
specially assessed against every parcel of land
benefitted by the improvement. The area to be assessed
may be less than, but not more than, the area proposed
to be assessed as stated in the notice of public hearing
on the improvement. The assessment roll should contain
a description of each parcel of property and the
assessment amount including any deferred assessments.
The assessment roll must be filed with the City
Administrator/Clerk and be available for public
inspection.
Holding Public Hearing on Pro~osed Assessments
A public hearing on the special assessments must be held
following published and mailed notice thereof. The
notice of the assessment public hearing must include the
following information:
1.
2 .
3.
4.
5.
. 6.
7.
The date, time and place of the meeting;
The general nature of the improvement;
The area proposed to be assessed;
The total amount of the proposed assessment;
That the assessment roll is on file with the Clerk;
That written or oral objections will be considered;
That no appeal may be taken as to the amount of
assessments unless a written objection signed by
the affected property owner is filed with the City
Clerk prior to the hearing or presented to the
presiding officer at the hearing; and
8. That the owner may appeal the assessment to the
district court by serving notice on the Mayor or
City Clerk within three (3) working days after the
adoption of the assessment and filing notice with
the court within ten (10) days after such appeal to
the Mayor or the City Clerk.
The notice of the assessment hearing must be published
in the legal newspaper at least once, not less than two
(2) weeks prior to the hearing.
7.
The City Clerk must mail notice of the assessment
hearing to the owner of each parcel described in the
assessment roll at least two (2) weeks prior to the
hearing. The mailed notice must also include, in
addition to the information required to be in the
published notice, the following information:
1. The amount to be specially assessed against that
particular lot, piece or parcel of land;
2. The right of the property owner to prepay the
entire assessment and the person to whom
prepayments must be made;
3. Whether partial prepayment of the assessment has
been authorized by ordinance;
4. The time within which prepayment may be made
without the assessment of interest; and
s.
.
The rate of interest to accrue if the assessment is
not prepaid within the required time period.
i. Adopting the Assessments
At the assessment hearing or at any adjournment thereof,
the City Council may adopt the assessments as proposed
or adopt the assessments with amendments. If the
adopted assessment differs from the proposed assessment,
the clerk must mail the owner a notice stating the
amount of the adopted assessment. The adopted
assessment roll shall include any and all deferments on
large or unplatted parcels of land along the City's
street system.
j .
Transmittinq Assessment to County Auditor
.
After the adoption of the assessment, the City Clerk
must transmit a certified duplicate copy of the
assessment roll, including all deferred equivalent
residential units, to the County Auditor.
Subd. 5 - SPECIAL ASSESSMENT POLICIES
It is the policy of the City of Shorewood that all properties
shall pay their fair share of the cost of local improvements
as they benefit. It is not intended that any property shall
receive the benefits of improvements without paying for them.
These policies relate to street reconstruction projects.
a. Establishing an Annual Rate
An annual assessment rate shall be established by the
end of February by City Council Resolution upon
8.
recommendation of the City Engineer. The City Engineer
shall undertake a study to determine the per foot
project cost of a "typical" 24 foot, rural cross section
street (with no curb and gutter), in the metropolitan
area, adjusted for typical Shorewood soil conditions
(see following page). When determining an annual rate
with construction costs of the previous construction
season the construction cost index as published by the
"Engineering News Record" or consumer price index may be
used.
When the City determines that a street should be
reconstructed it would be rebuilt to its current width.
Current width could be adjusted by the City Council upon
request of the property owners or by the Council
following public hearing if traffic counts or safety
considerations suggest wider street is warranted.
b.
Assessable Street Reconstruction Projects
.
Street reconstruction projects are not likely to require
the same amount of work throughout the entire length of
the project. That is, some sections may need to be
fully excavated and back-filled while other sections may
need simple reshaping. It is the policy of the city
that a project is assessable when its aggregate cost is
estimated to be at least 150% of a simple 2 inch overlay
project.
Project Costs
c.
Project cost shall include, but not be limited to, the
following:
1. Total Construction cost including intersections
.
2 .
Engineering fees
3. Administrative fees
4. Right-of-way/easement acquisition/condemnation
costs
5. Legal fees
6. Fiscal Fees
7. Capitalized interest
d. Term of Assessment
Assessments for street reconstruction should be assessed
for a ten (10) year period unless the City Council
determines that some other period of time is more
appropriate.
9 .
e. Government Owned Properties
Properties belonging to government jurisdictions,
including the City, will be assessed the same as
privately owned property.
f. Non-developable Land
Special Assessments shall not be levied on properties
deemed unbuildable due to the existence of undeveloped
lands lying wholly and completely within zoned wetlands,
flood plains, DNR protected wetlands and/or having
restricted soils as determined by the City Building
Inspector. However, all parcels of land are assumed to
be buildable until proven otherwise by the owner.
g. Interest Rate
The interest rate charged on assessments for all
projects financed by debt issuance shall not exceed two .
percent (2%) of the net interest rate of the bond issue.
This is necessary in order to insure adequate cash flow
when the City is unable to reinvest assessment
prepaYments at an interest rate sufficient to meet the
interest cost of debt or when the City experiences
problems of paYment collection delinquencies. In the
event no bonds are issued then the rate of interest on
assessments shall not exceed two (2) percent greater
than the average rate of interest on all bonds issued in
the previous calendar year or the current market
municipal bond rate. Interest on initial special
assessment installments shall begin to accrue from the
date of the resolution adopting the assessment. Owners
must be notified by mail of any changes adopted by the
City Council regarding interest rates or prepaYment
requirements which differ from those contained in the
notice of the proposed assessment. .
h. PaYment Procedures
The property owner has four available options when
considering paYment of assessments:
1. Tax PaYment - If no action is undertaken by the
property owner, then special assessment
installments will appear annually on the
individual's property tax statement for the
duration of the assessment term.
2. Full PaYment - No interest will be charged if the
entire assessment is paid within 30 days of the
date of adoption of the assessment roll. In the
initial year, the property owner may at any time
between that date and November 15, prepay the
10.
balance of the assessment with interest accrued to
December 31 of that year.
3. Partial Payment - 'The property owner has a one-time
opportunity to make a partial payment reduction of
any amount against his@her assessment. This option
may only be exercised within the 30-day period
immediately following adoption of the assessment
roll.
4.
.
Prepayment - The property owner may, with the
exception of the current year's installment of
principal and interest, pay the remaining
assessment balance at any time, prior to
November 15 without further interest charges.
Thereafter, the next installment, with interest
through December 31 of the following year, will be
levied for collection with the real estate taxes
payable the ensuing year. The principal balance
will be reduced by the amount of the installment.
i. Appeal Procedures
No appeal may be taken as to the amount of any
assessment adopted unless a written objection signed by
the affected property owner is filed. with the City
Administrator's office prior to the assessment hearing
or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing.
The property owner may appeal an assessment to District
Court by serving notice of the appeal upon the Mayor or
City Administrator within 30 days after the adoption of
the assessment and filing such notice with the District
Court within 10 days after service of the appeal upon
the Mayor or City Administrator.
.
j .
Reapportionment Upon Land Division
When a tract of land against which a special assessment
has been levied is subsequently divided or subdivided by
plat or otherwise, the City Council may, on application
of the owner of any part of the tract or on its own
motion, equitably apportion among the various lots or
parcels in the tract all the installments of the
assessment against the tract remaining unpaid and not
then due if it determines that such apportionment will
not materially impair collection of the unpaid balance
of the original assessment against the tract. The City
Council may require furnishing of a satisfactory surety
bond in certain cases as specified in Minnesota Statutes
Section 429.071, subd. 3. Notice of the apportionment
and of the right to appeal shall be mailed to or
personally served upon all owners of any part of the
tract. In most cases, dividing the assessment balance
evenly on a unit or lot basis would result in an
11.
equitable apportionment. If equitable in a particular
case, such a procedure would be most practical and
administratively effective.
Subd. 6 - ASSESSMENT METHOD
Once an assessment rate has been established for the year,
that rate will be utilized for each project, no matter the
width, design, or type of street being reconstructed. The
City Council may utilize one of two methods of assessment for
each project, "unit" or "front foot." The City Engineer
shall recommend the method and prepare the proposed
assessment roll based upon which method results in the most
fair and equitable assessment roll for that project. The
unit method is to be utilized when the front footage of the
assessable properties are of relatively equal length or the
benefit to the properties is similar. The front footage
method is to be utilized when there is a significant
differential in the front footage, or benefit, of the
assessable properties.
a. Unit Method
.
The unit method of assessment is most commonly used when
the benefitting properties are of similar benetit, but
not necessarily similar geometry. For instance, road
reconstruction along a particular road will likely
benefit the several properties on a private drive as
much as it benefits those properties directly abutting
the road being improved. In such a case, simply
assessing the abutting front footage would not be
equitable.
A unit assessment shall be derived according to the
following formula:
Annual assessment rate X project length X 0.33 / number .
of assessable units.
The number of assessment units assigned to each parcel
of land within the assessmen~ area shall be equal to the
maximum number of potential lots which could be possible
on that parcel as determined by the City Planner. A lot
shall be defined in accordance with the City'S Zoning
Ordinance.
Corner lots shall typically have one-half (0.5) of its
assessable units applied to each street. However, the
entire number of assessable units can be assessed in
conjunction with the street improvement project done
first. This approach would normally be taken where a
single lot derives a majority of benefit from the
reconstruction of the first project due to lot,
driveway, and home location.
12.
.
b. Front Footage Method
The actual physical dimensions of a parcel abutting a
street reconstruction project shall NOT be construed as
the frontage utilized to calculate the assessment for a
particular parcel. Rather, an "adjusted front footage"
will be determined. The front footage assessment rate
shall be derived according to the following formula:
.
Annual assessment rate X project length X .33 / total
adjusted front footage.
The purpose of this method is to equalize assessment
calculations for lots of similar size. Individual
parcels by their very nature differ considerably in
shape and area. The following procedures will apply
when calculating adjusted front footage. The selection
of the appropriate procedure will be determined by the
specific configuration of the parcel. All measurements
will be scaled from available plat and section maps and
will be rounded down to the nearest foot dimension with
any excess fraction deleted. Categorical type
descriptions are as follows:
1. Standard Lots 6. Irregularly Shaped Lots
2. Rectangular Variation Lots 7. Corner Lots
3. Triangular Lots 8 . Flag Lots and Back Lots
4. Cul-de-sac Lots 9. Double Frontage Lots
5. Curved Lots
.
The ultimate objective of these procedures is to arrive
at a fair and equitable distribution of cost whereby
consideration is given to lot size and all parcels are
comparably assessed.
13.
Subd. 7 - DEFERRED ASSESSMENTS
a. The City Council may defer Special Assessments:
1. On portions of large tracts of land as allowed in
this chapter so as to minimize the influence of the
proposed improvement on the development of said
land.
2. On homestead property owned by a person who
qualifies under the hardship criteria set forth
below.
b. Procedure
The property owner shall make application for deferred
payment of special assessments on a form prescribed by
the Hennepin County Auditor and supplemented by the
Shorewood City Administrator. The application shall be
made within 30 days after the adoption of the assessment .
roll by the City Council and shall be renewed each year
upon the filing of a similar application no later than
September 30. The City Administrator shall establish a
case number for each application; review the application
for complete information and details and make a
recommendation to the City Council to either approve or
disapprove the application for deferment. The City
Council by majority vote, shall either grant or deny the
deferment and if the deferment is granted, the City
Council may require the payment of interest due each
year. Renewal applications will be approved by the City
Administrator for those cases whereby the original
conditions for qualifications remain substantially
unchanged.
If the City Council grants the deferment, the City
Administrator sham notify the County Auditor who shall .
in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 435.194,
record a notice of the deferment with the County
Recorder setting forth the amount of assessment.
Interest shall be charged on any assessment deferred
pursuant to this Section at a rate equal to the rate
charged on other assessments for the particular public
improvement projects the assessment is financing. If
the City Council grants an assessment deferral to an
applicant, the interest may also be deferred, or the
interest may be due and payable on a yearly basis up
until the assessment period terminates and only the
principal is deferred. The decision as to whether the
principal and interest or just the principal is deferred
is decided by the City Council when considering the
application.
14.
.
.
1. Large Tracts of Land
Upon application, the City Council may defer the
assessments on large tracts of land that may be
subdivided or developed in the future. It is the
intent of this policy to grant deferments of
special assessments to large tracts so as to
minimize the influence of the proposed improvement
on the premature development of said land. The
deferment granted pursuant to this section may be
of indefinite duration subject to the occurrence
of:
o The subdivision of the property resulting in the
creation of a new, buildable lot
o If the City Council determines there is no
continuing need for the deferment
2 .
Conditions of Hardship
a) Any applicant must be 65 years of age, or
older, or retired by reason of permanent
and/or total disability and must own a legal
or equitable interest in the property applied
for which must be the homestead of the
applicant, or
b)
The annual gross income of the applicant shall
not be in excess of the very low income limits
(50% of median) asset forth by family size in
Hennepin County's Section Eight guidelines.
Calculation of the total family income shall
be determined by the summation of all
available income sources of the applicant and
spouse. Income specified in the application
should be the income of the year proceeding
the year in which the application is made, or
the average income of the three years prior to
the year in which the application is made,
whichever is less, and,
c) The special assessments to be deferred exceed
$1,000.00.
d) Permanent and/or total disability shall be
determined by using the criteria established
for "permanent and total disability" for
Workman's Compensation, to wit:
1) The total and permanent loss of the sight
of both eyes.
2) The loss of both arms at the shoulder.
15.
3) The loss of both legs so close to the
hips that no effective artificial members
can be used.
4) Complete and permanent paralysis.
5) Total and permanent loss of mental
faculties.
6) Any other injury which totally
incapacitates the owner from working at
an occupation which brings him/her an
income.
An applicant must substantiate the retirement by
reason of permanent and/or total disability by
providing a sworn affidavit by a licensed medical
doctor attesting that the applicant is unable to be
gainfully employed because of a permanent and/or
total disability.
.
Section 3. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from
and after its passage and publication.

1. 7:00 PUBLIC HEARING -SIMPLE SUBDIVISION/COMBINATION/C.U.P.
REVISION
Aoolicant:
Location:
Minnewashta Elementary School
26350 Smithtown Road
Chair Rosenberger announced the case and outlined the procedures for a public
hearing.
Nielsen reviewed the background to the applicant's request noting that a conditional
use permit for the expansion of the Minnewashta Elementary School was granted in
August 1992. He stated subsequently the School District purchased a 5.57 acre
parcel at 26410 Smithtown Road, west of the school, to improve its parking lot
design. The applicant proposes to subdivide off a 40,000 square foot parcel with an
existing house and combine the remaining 4.65 acres with the school property and
expand its parking lot.
Three issues require action: 1) subdivision of the parcel, 2) combination with school
property, and 3) revision of the existing C.U.P./site plan. Nielsen reviewed each issue
noting that the proposed division/combination complies with all lot size requirements
of the Zoning Code and the proposed parking lot increases parking capacity and
improves overall circulation. A revised landscape plan has been submitted and
grading, drainage, and erosion control issues have been reviewed by the City
Engineer.

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
July 6, 1993 - PAGE 2
Nielsen pointed out although plans do not exist for location and access for a future
water tower on this property, the City should consider acquiring the easement for a
tower location at this time.
Nielsen recommended approval of the applicant's requests subject to: 1) provision of
deeds for required 10' drainage and utility easements, 2) removal of 4 sheds and a
garage by September 30, 1993,3) recording of the easements and Council's approval
resolution by August 31, 1993, 4) completion of parking lot and landscaping by
November 1, 1993, and 5) review and approval of the grading, drainage and erosion
control by the City Engineer and Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.
John Rohrman, Architect, Minnetonka School District, stated acquisition of the
prcperty will improve safety for the children and provide a better solution for parking
than the previous plan. He commented on the staff recommendations, indicated no
objections to those recommendations and stated the school district is willing to
discuss with the City the water tower issue.
Rosenberger opened and closed the Public Hearing at 7: 15 p.m. there being no
comments from the public.
Bean requested clarification of the adequacy of setbacks on the western edge of the
parking lot to the lot line of the new location. Nielsen stated the ordinance requires
10' for schools and it meets that requirement. Bean requested clarification of the bus
route through the school grounds and expressed concern regardingsafety. Eugene
George, Minnetonka School District, described the circulation pattern of buses and the
location of drop-off of students by parents. It was pointed out that teachers provide
supervision during bus loading and do not leave the staff parking area concurrently
with the buses. Bean suggested that signage be provided to designate
visitors/public/staff parking.
Borkon requested clarification of the bus parking pattern. George explained that the
diagonal bus parking provides a safer visual scope for the drivers and the supervisors
during bus loading and pointed out that the buses do not move out until all the buses
are loaded.
Borkon moved, Malam seconded to recommend to the Council that it approve the
proposed subdivision/combination/C. U.P .revision for Minnewashta Elementary School,
26350 Smithtown Road, subject to conditions in the Planning Director's July 1, 1993
memorandum and appropriate parking and drop-off sign age on the property be
erected.
Motion passed 6/0.

2. 7:15 PUBLIC HEARING - PRELIMINARY PLAT - JAMES HILL
Aoolicant:
Location:
James Robin
23420 Park Street
Rosenberger announced the case. Nielsen reviewed the background to the applicant's
request for approval of the preliminary plat for James Hill noting that Mr. Robin
proposes to subdivide his property located in the R-1 0 zoning district at 23420 Park
Street into 4 single-family residential lots. He stated that the plat meets or exceeds
requirements of the zoning code with lot areas ranging from 13,314 to 24,300 square
feet. Nielsen described the issues to be addressed in connection with the
recommendation for approval: A. substandard right-of-way width of Glencoe Road
requires an additional 10' of r.o.w. on the east side of Glencoe Road, B. removal of
a nonconforming accessory building, C. final plat must include "Block 1" and provide
drainage and utility easements, 10' on each side of each rear and side lot line, D.
sanitary sewer service for Lot 4 must be demonstrated, Payment of: E. $2250 park
dedication fees and F. $3000 local sanitary sewer access charges and provision of an
up-to-date title opinion with final plat submission.
James Robin stated dedication of additional right-of-way on Glencoe Road poses no
problem, however, he indicated he expected there would be no further acquisition by
the City for right-of-way there. He stated the property on the west is close to the
existing street and in fairness there should be an understanding that the City not seek
an additional 10' from that property owner also. Robin understood the City has no
plans for upgrading Glencoe Road and while its surface is currently 16' wide, Robin
requested that it be understood that the road would not be expanded beyond a 20'
width. He stated the road serves 6 homes, has a low traffic volume, and when
expanded it should be re-Iocated to the east. With respect to the provision of sewer
service for lot 4, Robin explained that it could go directly into the man-hole structure
that is at the end of the line coming from the east along Park Street. He stated,
however, that should the Engineer determine that is not adequate and requires
additional public utility construction, the City should pay for that. He expressed no
objection to the other staff recommendations.
Rosenberger opened the Public Hearing at 7:36 p.m.
Kristi Stover inquired about the applicant's plans for providing water to the lots.
Robin stated that the two lots on the north side have access to Excelsior water but
he will not require a purchaser to tie into that system, but that each will be
responsible for its water supply.
Rosenberger closed the Public Hearing at 7:38 p.m.
.
Rosenberger requested clarification of the acquisition of additional right-of-way on
Glencoe Road. Nielsen stated the additional 10' on the east side is because of the
proximity of the property on the west side and 10' will bring the road into
3

conformance with the required 50' right-of-way width. He noted the Transportation
Plan provides that a re-constructed street will be built to its current width, but not less
than 20'. The Commissioners acknowledged, however, that it is difficult to determine
how a current agreement may be affected by a longer-term future decision.
Hansen pointed out that the property lines proposed for this subdivision are not
perpendicular causing all other lots to be skewed and customarily creating angular
driveways. Nielsen explained that lot 4 created concern. While the line between lot
1 and lot 4 is parallel with the existing garage, keeping the driveway to Lot 4 five feet
from the property line will mitigate skewing to a degree according to Nielsen. In this
instance, strict adherence to the perpendicular policy would have resulted in lot 4
being smaller.
Malam requested clarification of the placement of entrances to lots 2 and 3. Robin
stated that both lots probably would be accessed from Glencoe Road since Academy
Avenue presents traffic safety concerns.
Bean requested clarification of responsibility for sanitary sewer service for lot 4 should
the Engineer not approve the described solution. Nielsen stated approval should not
present any problems, however, the developer is responsible for extending the utility,
if necessary.
Borkon requested additional information regarding provISion of water. Nielsen
reviewed the City's pOlicy which states the developer determines the water supply-
use of an available system or private wells.
Borkon moved, Hansen seconded to recommend to the Council that it approve the

3. 7:30 PUBLIC HEARING - SIMPLE SUBDIVISION AND LOT WIDTH VARIANCE
Apolicant:
Location:
Wallace and Elizabeth Peck
25975 Wild Rose Lane
Rosenberger announced the case. Nielsen reviewed the background to the applicants'
request for a simple subdivision of property, zoned R-1A, at 25975 Wild Rose Lane
into 2 lots. The 2.6 acre lot extends between Wild Rose Lane and Smithtown Road,
is occupied by the Peck's home and a 300 + square foot barn. Despite its area, the
lot is substandard as zoned as it is only 98' wide on the Wild Rose Lane end;
consequently the applicant requests a lot width variance for the northerly lot.

Nielsen reviewed the staff report pointing out that the south side of Wild Rose Lane
is characterized by narrow lots ranging in width from 50' to 150'. Ten lots on that
side of the street are narrower than the applicant's. Nielsen pointed out that although
the lot is substandard for the R-1 A district, it is not out of character with the
neighborhood.
Nielsen stated the applicant considered the possibility of 2 lots on the southerly
portion of the property however that would necessitate rezoning the property to R-IC.
He stated that while re-zoning would provide an opportunity to re-draw zoning lines,
the subdivision allows the applicant to make reasonable use of his property. The Wild
Rose Lane lot will be as big or bigger than other lots nearby. The southerly lot and
the existing lot to the east of it conform with R-1 A district standards, despite being
sandwiched between R-1 C property.
Nielsen recommended approval of the subdivision and lot width variance subject to
the following conditions: 1) provision of 10' drainage and utility easements on each
side of each rear and side lot line, 2) submission of an up-to-dat~ title opinion or title
commitment for review by the City Attorney, 3) removal or moving 2 nonconforming
sheds which straddle the easterly property line, to bring them into compliance with
setback requirements, by November 1,1993, 4) dedication of roadway easements for
parcels D and E, 5) payment of a $1000 local sewer access charge and $750 park
dedication fee, and 6) completion of the items and recording of the division within 30
days of the Council's approval.
Mrs. Elizabeth Peck stated they want to take off the lower lot from the property to
allow their son to come back to the home place, which has been in the family for 80
years. She reviewed the history of the property emphasizing their wish to keep the
property in the family. She stated that removal of the sheds on the property would
cause an emotional hardship on the family and it is not fair of the City to ask them to
remove them since that property has nothing to do with the subdivision and they
would certainly not be able to accomplish moving or removal within 30 days. She
indicated they do not wish to tell their son he cannot build on the home property.
Mrs. Peck explained that parcel D is the easement taken when Smithtown Road was
straightened. Their attorney has advised them to sell parcel E. Mr. Peck, the son,
reiterated his desire to return to the home property to build a single family dwelling
on parcel C. He took issue with the encroachment of the sheds on the property and
stated that due to the age and construction of the buildings, they cannot be moved.
They are, however, in good shape for storage of garden equipment, etc. He indicated
they chose not to pursue the re-zoning proposal due to financial reasons.
The public did not present any comments.
Rosenberger cautioned that, generally, requests for special cases for nonconformance
are not favored by the Commission.

Nielsen clarified that the City may, at it's own initiative based on residents' petition,
rezone property; otherwise the re-zoning application fee is $450. He described the
possible re-zoning, but indicated the City would probably not initiate such a rezoning.
Hansen stated that if a variance is granted on the width based on none of the criteria
for a variance, a variance on the sheds would also appear reasonable. It was pointed
out, however, another public hearing on the shed variance would need to be
scheduled.
Nielsen reviewed the criteria and reiterated the guidelines upon which he based his
recommendation for approval of the lot width variance and for placing the removal or
moving of the sheds as a condition of approval.
Borkon requested clarification of the easement related to parcels D and E. Nielsen
described the area based on the legal description noting that sale of the triangle,
parcel E, would not be a problem. Dedication of the easements would provide a clear
title. Borkon expressed concern regarding the shed removal condition particularly
since the nonconforming house is not required to meet conforming conditions, which
in her view reflects inconsistency. She expressed concern about the appearance of
government intruding into private lives and suggested alternatives for compromise be
considered. Nielsen indicated that alternatives discussed create further
nonconformance factors.
Rosenberger questioned the emotional tie factor. Mrs. Peck indicated the entire family
has continuing ties to the homestead. Mrs. Peck stated that if and when Parcel B is
sold, the sheds would be moved. Nielsen stated that it may be possible to record
such a statement against the lot, Le., that the sheds will be removed when the
property changes owners; and would become a part of the conditions of this approval.
However, Nielsen pointed out that any new construction of an accessory structure on
Parcel B would likely require removal of the sheds. The Pecks stated they would
accept such conditions for conformance.
Malam preferred that action not be tabled on this request based only on the shed
issue; and stated that while he can understand the family emotional ties, he did not
feel comfortable with buildings remaining on a property line.
Hansen moved, Borkon seconded to table, until Wednesday, July 28, 1993, action
on the request of Wallace and Elizabeth Peck for a simple subdivision and lot width
variance at 25975 Wild Rose Lane and requested the staff to prepare a proposed
resolution that satisfies the applicants and the Commissioners, based on legal
consultation, regarding the removal of the nonconforming sheds at the time of the sale
of Parcel B.
Motion passed 4/2. Malam and Pisula voted nay.

the meeting for review by her attorney.
4. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
Rosenberger suggested the Commissioners consider meetings with Planning
Commissions of the other South Lake communities regarding topics of mutual interest
relating to the Comprehensive Plans. The Commissioners generally agreed that such
meetings could be scheduled later in the year after all sections of the Commission's
review of the Comprehensive Plan have been completed.
Hansen inquired about the status of the Council's action on the Vine Hill Market
C.U.P. application. Stover indicated the Council has postponed it's consideration due
to the lack of the required quorum at the past 2 Council meetings. Stover briefly
provided background history relating to the water tower/school property issue. Pisula
inquired about the status of the Gideons Wood ,P .U.D. application. Nielsen noted that
the Indian burial mound review has been conducted; however a formal report has not
yet been received.
The Commissioners agreed to re-schedule its July 20 Study Session/Meeting to
Wednesday, July 28. Nielsen noted the Commissioner's joint study session with the
Council is scheduled for Monday, July 12.
