EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
SHOREWOOD CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA
~~
MONDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1992
6:45 PM - THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WILL ASSEMBLE IN THE CHAMBERS
FOR A GROUP PHOTOGRAPH.

f
!
There is a lot on this agenda so therefore it seems unlikely that
we will be able to have a Budget Work Session. We will attempt to
keep the agenda for the October 26th meeting to a minimum so as
much time as possible can be given to a Budget Work Session.
AGENDA ITEM 3A - This resolution proclaims the month of November
1992 as Epilepsy Month in the City of Shorewood.
AGENDA ITEM 3B - Because NSP failed to deliver the agreed upon
stipulation for easement delays have resulted in this request to
extend the deadline to receive the deed regarding the Doherty
property at 20375 Manor Road. This resolution extends the deadline
to October 22, 1992~
~

i
AGENDA ITEM 3C - This resolution approves a CUP for accessory space
and setback variances at 26305 Edgewood Road. The Council directed
this resolution be prepared at the September 14th meeting.
AGENDA ITEM 3 D - This resolution accepts the Shady Hills storm
Sewer Improvement project.

'.
AGENDA ITEM 4B - $5,000 has been budgeted for the surveying of
Freeman Park. The Park Commission has worked with staff and Mark
Koegler, Park Planner, in determining the most cost effective way
of accomplishing this task. This design agreement with OSM is our
recommendation.
AGENDA ITEM 4C - The Park Commission has recommended the Council
approve this letter of agreement with Mark Koegler for up to $500
for preparation of a bike trail grant application. One of the
areas which could be included in this application is a pedestrian
way along Old Market Road and covington Road. Included in the
packet is a memorandum from the city Attorney indicating that Old
Market Road can continue as a bike way even if the side walk is in
place. This means that 25 mph designation could remain.
AGENDA ITEM 6 - At this point we have heard unofficially that
representatives from MWCC will be at the Council meeting at 7:30
pm. Staff is preparing a short presentation to give to them and
the City Council which puts in perspective what has been happening
over the last several years. At that point we might ask the MWCC
representatives to respond to our letter and this presentation.
AGENDA ITEM 7 - This is a request for the City Council to
reconsider a Shorewood Oaks Drive area request for two additional
stop signs at Maple Leaf Court. A complete history of this request
is enclosed in the packet.
AGENDA ITEM 8 - This is a petition from residents on covington Road
requesting measures to reduce speed. Staff memorandums raising
policy questions are enclosed in the packet.
AGENDA ITEM 9 - The same petitioners are requesting additional
street lights on Covington Road. Two additional street lights
would be warranted. Should the Council wish to authorize it staff
will designate the best locations and coordinate the installation.
AGENDA ITEM 10 - This item remains from the last City Council
agenda. We hope to have a final report on water testing from
Munitech by the Monday evening council meeting.
AGENDA ITEM 11 - This item to increase the fees for engineering
services for the S.E. area water treatment plant was held over from
the last meeting because Mr. Vogen was unable to attend at that
time. .
.
AGENDA ITEM 12 - This is a redraft of an ordinance presented at the
last meeting considering delinquent water bills. The additional
language suggested by the City Council, at the last meeting, is
underlined as subd.3(d) in this proposed ordinance.
AGENDA ITEM 13 - The CUP and variance request for the Vine Hill
market was previously tabled and therefore needs to be raised again
at this meeting.
AGENDA ITEM 14 - This is a request of Tony Studer, 5685 Minnetonka
Drive to spread his $4,000 water hook-up fee out over three years.
Should the Council wish to do this we would recommend $1,000 down
and $1,000 a year over a three year period at an 8% interest spread
as a special assessment rather than monthly paYments.
AGENDA ITEM 15 - The low quote for landscaping for the Public Works
facility was presented by Lan-De-Con Inc. in the amount of $17,715.
Even this low quote is about $5,000 above the original budget. We
recommend awarding the work to the low quote, Lan-De-Con, with the
understanding that they work with the Planning Director Nielsen to
lower the total landscaping cost nearer to the original budget of
$12,500.
AGENDA ITEM 17B - In preparation for the Church Road special
assessment hear ing at 7: 15 pm on Monday, October 26, the City
Engineer has prepared a memorandum discussing the issues to be
considered in relation to that project. The Council should have an
opportunity to discuss these issues before the public hearing.

11. A MOTION TO ADOPT VOUCHER PAYMENT POLICY FOR CITY
CONTRACTING PROJECTS
Hurm reviewed the suggestion presented at the September 14 meeting to streamline the
approval process for construction contract pay vouchers by eliminating the time and expense
involved in preparing vouchers for Council approval. He stated that the new policy would
provide that construction project payments be approved through the regular voucher
payment process by the Project Manager, Finance Director, and Administrator. The new
policy includes the following: 1) Council must have taken action to award the project and
its proposed budget; 2) only intermediate monthly pay requests within the established budget
will be exempt from Council review; 3) change orders or supplementary agreements require
Council approval; 4) final pay request subject to Council approval; and 5) pay vouchers
processed and approved by Project Manager, Finance Director and Administrator and listed
on Council's check approval list before payment.
Gagne stated that the current policy should be retained to keep Council members informed.
They are accountable for taxpayers' money. Stover stated that at the present time, Council
consideration and action on such items does not take much time, questioned whether the
change results in saving money or time and felt the existing procedure allows Council
members to keep up with current projects. Lewis noted that projects and budgets are pre-
approved, Council approval is a formality and updates of construction projects are provided

Motion passed 5/0.
13. A MOTION TO AMEND CHAPTER 903 OF TIlE SHOREWOOD CITY CODE
REIATIVE TO DELINOUENCIES
Rolek reviewed the recommended amendment regarding the water turn off policy previously
discussed by the Council. It shortens the amount of time for sending shu-off notices for
delinquent charges from 90 to 45 days and removes language allowing for special
arrangements. He noted that the current policy allows for a two-quarter delinquency
whereas the proposed policy will keep a delinquency in the current quarter, increase
. efficiency and improve the City's cash flow.
Stover asked whether the new policy would include both commercial and residential. Rolek
stated this will cover all property.
Stover questioned the dollar amount of quarterly delinquencies, expressed concern about
the severity of turning off residents' water and asked for information about the appeal
process. Lewis stated assistance programs are available for persons with problems paying
utility bills and that it may be necessary to implement a new policy in order to encourage
timely payments of obligations to the City for this service.
Rolek noted that delinquent water bills disputed can be appealed to the Council and water
service would continue pending a determination, and that unpaid utility costs are assessed
to residents through the tax system.
.
The Council members directed the staff to modify the proposed amendment for the
Council's review at its next meeting to provide for an appeal process for an individual with
a delinquent water bill before the water is turned off.
14. A MOTION APPROVING DESIGN AGREEMENT FOR TIlE PREPARATION
OF RIGHT-OF-WAY PLANS FOR LAKE LINDEN DRIVE

the speed limit at 30 mph. MnDOT recommends posting an S-curve warning sign on Lake
Linden Drive, with a 25 mile per hour speed recommendation.
In addition, the City's engineering firm has developed a preliminary design agreement for
reconstruction of Lake Linden Drive.
Stover asked whether there will be neighorhood involvement or a public hearing in
connection with the proposed re-construction and how the project will be financed. Dresel
indicated that the road will be designed with a 30 mile an hour speed limit and informal

It was noted that a preliminary re-constructionengineering design will be developed
consistent with MSA requiremenrs in order to assure MSA funding. Dresel indicated that
some additional right-of-way will be required to meet the road width requirements. Gagne
questioned whether there is an option for the City to finance the project and avoid designing
the road to meet the criteria for MSA funding. Stover asked whether additional right-of-way
acquisition is necessary. Lewis stated that the Council should retain options in the design
of the road based on input from the residents on the stated-mandated requirements.
Daugherty suggested that action on the right-of-way acquisition be delayed until further
information on the proposed design is available. Brancel noted that she has received a
number of communications from residents on Lake linden Drive requesting that
improvements be made to address the safety concerns.

Dear Brad: '
Since I have not had any luck reaching you by phone, I am
requesting that you request that the City Council grant us an .:z~
extension to finalize the above referenced matter until October~.
All parties having an interest in this matter have been
served with notice and no answers have been filed objecting to the
registration of the title. We were scheduled to have the final
hearing on Tuesday. September 29. All papers had to be filed with
the C 0 u r t by 1 a s t T 11 U r s day, but N S P f ai 1 e d t 0 del i v e r the il 9 r e e d
upon Stipulation for Easement. This was due merely to their people
getting the document prepared and executed.
I am rescheduling the hearing to Tuesday, October 13. After
that hearing the matter will be final and we will deliver the deed
to the City.
Would you please inform me if the city will acccmodate us
on this matter. I will need a formal resolution to file with the

.
WHEREAS, the Applicant has applied to the City for a Conditional Use Permit for
the construction of an attached garage, the area of which, is 1981 square feet; and
WHEREAS, the Shorewood City Code requires a Conditional Use Permit for the
construction of accessory space exceeding 1200 square feet; and
WHEREAS, The Applicant has applied for a setback variance to allow the house to
be located 24.5 feet from the rear lot line of the site, which variance amounts to 25.5 feet;
and
WHEREAS, the Applicant's request was reviewed by the City Planner, and his
recommendations were duly set forth in a memorandum to the Planning Commission dated
25 August 1992, which memorandum is on file at City Hall; and

Dear Jim:
.
As a follow-up to our telephone conversation yesterday, I have examined the
Interim Solicitation Process for Federal Surface Transportation Program (STP)
Funding of Bikeway and Walkway Projects. It appears that a number of the trail
segments shown on the Shorewood Trail Plan are eligible for the program.
Shorewood trails also seem to reasonably fit the qualifying criteria used in making
the funding awards.
Based on the application submittal requirements, I would estimate that the total fee
for the preparation of the grant application will range from $400.00 to $500.00. In
any case, I do not see the fee exceeding $500.00. Some of the text prepared for the
STP program would be usable in other bikeway/walkway grant applications such as
the State's Outdoor Recreation Grant Program.
.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide this proposal for continued park planning
services for the City of Shorewood. Please advise me as to how you wish to proceed
on this matter.
Sincerely,
~~~

Re: Interim Solicitation Process for Federal Surface Transportation Program Funding of Bikeway
and Walkway Projects 1992
Dear Public Official:
The purpose of this letter is to request the submittal of bikeway and walkway projects to be funded by the
Surface Transportation Program (STP). The deadline for submittals is November 2, 1992. The Twin C!ties
region has been allocated STP funds by the Federal Intermodal Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991
(ISTEA). To date, some of these funds have been allocated to highway and transit projects by the region.
An interim process is being put in place at this time to solicit bikeway and walkway projects. A total of
$1,500,000 is available. A permanent process for allocation of STP and other federal funds will be developed
later this year.
As you may know, "Enhancements" is another category of federal funding that can be used for bikeways and
walkways. Those funds are not included in this process. If the Metropolitan Counci1!TAB is assigned
responsibility to allocate those funds, a process will be dev.eloped later in the year.
.
While the interim procedures described in the attachment seem applicable for bicycle and walking facilities,
they may need to be adjusted to better serve the region in the future. The TACITAB will utilize the
applications submitted as input for the development of the permanent process for allocating federal funds.
TQe accompanying material describes two categories of projects -- traditional and innovative. There are
separate criteria for each category.
All submittals must be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Monday, November 2,1992 to be considered. Final
approval of selected projects is anticipated in December.
Please address your submittals to Mr. Emil Brandt, Transportation Coordinator, Transportation Advisory
Board, Mears Park Centre, 230 E. Fifth Street, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101.

Bicycle Path Designation
.
D" ~r~
In response to your inquiry, I have reviewed Minnesota Sta~tes
~ 160.263 regarding bicycle lanes and ways as they relate 0 the speed
regulation of roadways. Specifically, subdivision 2 provi es that a
governing body of a political subdivision may by ordinance: (a)
designate any roadway or portion thereunder its jurisdiction as a
bicycle lane; and (b) designate any sidewalk or portion thereof under
its jurisdiction as a bicycle way provided that the designation does
not destroy a pedestrian way or pedestrian access.
Subdivision 4 provides that notwithstanding ~ 169.14, subd. 5, the
governing body of any political subdivision, by resolution or
ordinance . . . may designate a safe speed for any street or highway
under its authority upon which it has established a bicycle lane;
provided that such safe speed shall not be lower than 25 miles per
hour.
.
Based upon the foregoing, the addition of a sidewalk adjacent to Old
Market Road for pedestrian purposes would not alter or conflict with
the City'S designation of the bicycle way in the roadway of Old Market
Road. You should check with Joel Dresel to ascertain if state aid
design requirements may preclude the continuation of the bicycle way
within the roadway after the establishment of a separate pedestrian
way.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at
896-3203.

Dear Mrs Vierling and Mr. Voss,
The Shorewood City Council has requested that you attend its next
council meeting the evening of October 12, 1992. The meeting
starts at 7 p.m. but we would like you to come around 7:30 so the
Council can talk directly with you about skyrocketing MWCC
charges.
The City of Shorewood has been undertaking an III control program
with no MWCC recognition. We have been working with MWCC staff
to get a handle on massive III problems associated with MWCC
interceptors within our community, and to identify ways we can
measure what the real III problem is. The proposed $122,500
increase in charges in one year reflects an increase of over $52
a year per household. Because of the MWCC's high estimates of
flow for Shorewood and the resulting 40% increase in charges, we
simply can no longer afford to fund projects to address any city
III problems.
The dramatic increase in charges with no credit or consideration
for Shorewood's I/I reduction efforts seems counfer productive to
our common goal of reducing I/I. We ask that MWCC follow the
recommendations in its Systemwide Infiltration/Inflow Evaluation
Report (April, 1992). The report recommends "...that the
technical assistance, public information, and III reduction goals
programs be implemented immediately and that I/I levels be
reviewed periodically."
A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore
o
t
I
Your report also states: "The present worth of long-term cost
savings to the MWCC associated with this amount of I/I is
approximately $2 million annually. The equivalent annualized
capital and O&M savings represent approximately 1.4% of the
current annual budget". Lt seems Shorewood's 6,000 residents are
being asked to pay over 16% of what the MWCC would save if all
municipalities reduced I/I as much as possible."
Please feel free to contact me to set up a meeting with staff
before the October 12 Council meeting if you would find it
helpful. We look forward to working with you to achieve a
rate/funding system that is more fiscally responsive to the needs
of local government and to find a more accurate way to measure
our contribution to MWCC sewage flow.

Dear Mayor Brancel:
.
The purpose of this letter is to provide you with information
regarding the 1993 sewer service charges on the enclosed statement.
The annual se~er servi~e cha~gcs are based C~ th~ estimated volume
of Shorewood's sewer flow relative to the estimated flow from all
sewered communities using the Metropolitan Disposal System. When
1993 is completed and actual flow for 1993 is known, these
estimated sewer service charges are adjusted accordingly. They are
also adjusted for any deviations in the Commission's revenue or
expenditure budgets.
The statement shows the estimated wastewater flow from your
community and its sewer service charges based on the MWCC's 1993
budget. The 1993 estimate of your community's flow is based on
past flow records, precipitation trends and anticipated community
growth. The statement also shows any credits or debits from these
sources: Current Value Credit, Debt Payment Credit, and the 1991
Final Cost Allocation.
.
I am forwarding a copy of these and a 1991 Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report to your finance officer. If you have any
questions, please let me know. If you would like additional copies
of any of these documents or the MWCC's 1993 budget, please contact

Dear Mr. Hurm:
The Commission has just completed a mid-year review of the actual
1992 flows as compared to the 1992 estimated flows. The Commission
prepared the 1992 estimated flow for the city in March of 1990
following three years of dry weather conditions. Since then the
rainfall conditions have changed, 1991 had a near record rainfall
and thus far in 1992, the rainfall is above normal. The Commission
tries to estimate flows based on normal rainfall conditions.
Historically, the city's flows have generally been higher when
rainfall is above normal and lower when rainfall is below normal.
Another factor contributing to a flow increase may be an
underestimation of growth within the community.
Based on measured flows through July, it is anticipated tpat your
total year end flow for 1992 will exceed the estimated flow by
approximately 42 percent. This assumes that the rainfall
conditions through the end of the year will continue at a normal
level. This would result in an underpayment of approximately 42
percent for 1992. The underpayment would be carried forward and
added to the 1994 cost allocation.
The Commission is providing this information to you at this time to
allow the City time to utilize this information during your rate
setting process.
.If you have any questions in this regard please call.

. RE: Agenda Item No. 7 - Shorewood Oaks stop Signs
The Ci ty was contacted by Shorewood Oaks resident Keith Forss
asking us to consider the placement of stop signs on Shorewood Oaks
Drive at Maple Leaf Circle. Attached for your information are
comments from the Police Chief and city Engineer on the latest
request dated October 1, 1992. Also attached for your reference is
a color coded map indicating where the signs are located with a
history of each sign.
This issue is arising again because a year ago the City Council on
a 2-1 vote authorized the installation of stop signs on Shorewood
Oaks Drive at Burlwood Court. The comment was made at that time
that we could review the situation in a year.
The staff is unanimous in its recommendation against the additional
stop signs.

Shorewood, MN 55331
Dear City Council members:
Attached please find a petition from the homeowners of the
Shorewood Oaks subdivision.
This petition represents great concern and desire for change
on the part of these homeowners in regard to the speeding and
dangerous driving taking place on the streets in our neighborhood.
Shorewood Oaks Drive has become a popular cut-through for many
non-residents within the past year. We are finding that meny of
these drivers are coming through Shorewood Oaks at speeds of 35 to
40 plus miles per hour. The current 30 m.p.h. speed limit and the
lack of any stop signs is promoting people to speed in excess of
30 m.p.h. thus creating dangerous situations for the many children
who live and play here every day, Homeowners have taken to standing
in the street to block these cars, and phoning in tag numbers to .
the police. We feel that the time for change has come as this
neighborhood is more that 50% complete.
Currently there are 75 homeowners and 49 school aged children
in Shorewood Oaks.
We were informed that this petition would be on your agenda for
your June 10, 1991 meeting. After reviewing it prior to your
meeting would you please contact either myself or Mrs. Faber
to inform us if we will be on your agenda, at what time you would
like us there and if you would desire for all participating
homeowners to attend as well.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,
c:!tfV!/t4f~IC.~

~ Subject: Shorewood Oaks area petition
~
The petition presented asks for the speed limit on certain named
roads to be reduced to 15 MPH. No such reduction may be made
without approval of the State of ~nnesota. They will require a
speed study and great documentation for any change in speed limit.
I would not expect them to grant any change in the speed limit from
the statutory residential speed limit of 30 MPH, certainly not to
15 MPH. I am not aware of any local speed limits that are set that
low. Shorewood Oaks is a new street system with wider streets and
curbs than in a large proportion of Shorewood.
Speed l:imits are normally set at the 85th percentile of normal
traffic. Speed limits are, therefore, set with the knowledge that
the 15th percentile of all. .traff:icwHwi+l normally be_. violating-.!:_~f:!___ ___
speed l:im:it. Studies have shown that a lower speed limit will not
usually reduce the speed of traffic, but rather make more persons
law violators. (See attached).
Another issue is the level at which traffic citations are issued.
As you may know, the police department can not issue citations for
only a few MPH over the limit. The court system will not accept
them. We are forced to write citations based upon the level of
acceptance of the legal system. This is very well defined in
Hennepin County. (In my opinion this "tolerance" is increasing.)
Most of the speeds referred to in the cover letter to the petitions
would fall within that "tolerance".
Should the State of M:innesota allow a different speed limit than
the statutory speed l:imit for residential areas~ I certainly would
encourage the adequate posting of that speed limit.
The request for "Slow ~ Ch:ildren at Play" signs is also an issue in
wh:ich the State of M:innesota has taken a very definite stand. They
do not recognize such signs. They are not legal. During recent
studies, in our area, of traffic control signs and devices, the
State of Minnesota recommended all such signs be removed. One
reason I heard for this was the ineffectiveness of the signs.
Serving South Lake Minnetonka Communities of Excelsior, Greenwood, Shomvood and Tonka Bay
Apparently studies have shown that most drivers do not see the
signs and for those that do, there is no effect on their driving
behavior.
The request for stop signs should be considered in relation to the
Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The State of
Minnesota has adopted this nationwide manual. I have included a
copy of the portion relating to stop signs and their placement.
There are four warrants -.jor the placement of stop signs. In
reviewing the petition for requested locations, the warrants can be
applied to only some of them. I think everyone would agree that
Shorewood Oaks Drive is the main thoroughfare. Therefore, the
following requests could be considered under warrants numbers one
and/or two:
Oak Leaf Trail at Shorewood Oaks Drive - Both Locations
Maple Leaf Circle at Shorewood Oaks Drive
Burlwood Court at Shorewood Oaks Drive
There already is a stop sign on Shorewood Oaks Drive at Strawberry ~
Lane. -
The other requested locations, Shorewood Oaks Drive at Maple Leaf
Circle and Burlwood Court do not appear to meet any of the
warrants. They appear to be more of a speed control device. This
is specifically mentioned in the manual as an improper use of a
stop sign. The City of Shorewood has denied other requests for
like stop signs. The City of Shorewood has also recently removed
stop signs which were felt to be used for speed control only.
The police department takes no position on the petition, with the-
exception of the stop signs which meet the warrants. I feel those
signs should be erected. The other requests are subject to the
State of Minnesota, City of Shorewood or the manual as published.
My comments are meant merely to inform the City Council of factors
I am aware of which might impact their decision making process. We A,
will do our best to enforce, within certain guidelines imposed upon ,.,.
us, whatever regulations are in place.
If you or the City Council have any questions about this, or any
other matter, please contact me and I will respond as soon as
possible.

Re: Speed Zoning - City of Shorewood
Shorewood Oaks Drive I Oak Leaf Trail
.
Dear Mr. Hurm:
A speed zoning study has been completed for Shorewood Oaks Drive and Oak Leaf Trail
as requested by the Shorewood City Council in Resolution 63-91. Based on the study results
and as discussed with you previously, we recommend continued reliance on Minnesota's
statutory 30 mph urban district speed limit. (This limit may be posted or not posted at the
city's discretion.) Our recommendation has been forwarded to Mn/DOTs traffic
engineering office in St. Paul for their review. Assuming they concur, no speed limit
authorization will be issued. You will be notified of their action.
Also, as discussed with you, there is one curve on each road where 30 mph speed cannot be .
safely maintained. We suggest installation of turn signs with appropriate advisory speed
plates for these curves, especially since the speed limit is posted.
During discussion of our recommendation, you expressed interest in general comments
concerning speed limits and SLOW CHILDREN signs. You might therefore find the
attached letter and the following general comments of interest.
While many people believe that posted speed limit determines the speed of
traffic, studies in Minnesota and elsewhere have demonstrated that speed
patterns are actually determined by driver reaction to the road environment
and by driver attitude (purpose of trip, etc.). Very little change in speed
patterns can be expected with a change in the posted speed limit. Why then
do we bother to post a speed limit? A speed limit can perform the following
functions:

- Inform those not faITilliar with a road, what speed is considered to be
reasonable and safe under ideal conditions.
- Inform those living along the road of the prevailing speed of traffic.
- Serve as a basis of enforcement against those who drive at
unreasonable or unsafe speed.
- Contribute to smooth traffic flow on roads with high traffic volume.
.
To fulfill these functions, however, the numerical value of the speed limit
must be consistent with prev3iling operating speeds. Also, considering the
functions of a speed limit, it is apparent that a posted speed limit will be of
the greatest value on arterial or collector streets where non-local traffic can
be expected and where enforcement activity is likely. Most municipalities
elect to rely on unposted statutory speed limits for strictly residential streets -
for three reasons:
1) Speed limits have little value on streets where almost all traffic
consists of local residents who drive the road daily and where
enforcement activity is unlikely.
2) Few cities can afford speed limit signs for all of their streets.
3) If each street were to be speed zoned on its own merit, the resulting
array of speed limits would be confusing and difficult to enforce.
.
If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact Ed Brown
(591-4617) at this office.

DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS

Re: "SLOW CHILDREN" Signs
Dear Sir:
.
It has come to our attention that some municipalities and townships
within Minnesota are still using black on yellow rectangular shaped
signs wi th messages such as: "SLOW CHILDREN" and "T..TATCH OUT FOR
CHILDREN," etc.
Please be advised that these are not standard signs as listed in the
Minnesota Manual on. Uniform Traffic Control Devices and we tnerefore
recommend that you remove them from your road system as soon as
possible.
Alternative signs of the correct diamond shape do exist in the Minne-
sota Manual. (Two examples are: sign Wll-X5 "WATCH FOR CHILDREN" and
sign Wll-X6 "WATCH FOR PEDS"). To remain effective, however, these
signs must only be used in unusual situations. One example might be
an area of restricted sight distance where the presence of children
is probable and drivers are likely to be unaware of this fact. We
do not recommend use of the signs where sight distance is good or in
residential areas where drivers should be expecting the presence of
children merely because of the type of adjacent development.
While we do not presume to suggest that Mn/DOT has any jurisdiction
in this matter, we do feel it is appropriate to inform you of the
non-conforming use. We have observed a great number of these instal-
lations throughout our district. Please call me or Larry McKenzie
at this office if you have questions.
Sincerely,
~~c P.E.

Monique R. Droege presented the petition of the Shorewood Oaks residents
for the placement of stop signs on Shorewood Oaks Drive, Maple Leaf CirclE
Burlwood court and Oak Leaf Trail and the reduction of the speed limit to
15 MFH. The petition also requests SLOW CHILDR&~ AT PLAY signs.
Droege said there are many small children in the area and cars speed alons
Shorewood Oaks Drive. It is used as a cut through street to Hwy. 7
because a right turn lane is provided on Hwy 7. She said if a right tu~
lane was put in ~ Church Road, the traffic might be reduced. ..,
Brancel said Public Works Director Zdrazil recommended stop signs only at
each end of Shorewood Oaks Drive and each end of Oak Leaf Trail. Also, aT
the intersection of Burlwood Court and Maple Leaf and Shorewood Oak Drive.
She said a 15 MFH speed limit will need the approval of the State of
Minnesota. The police department said a 15 MPH speed limit is not
enforceable.

Droege asked if the city could install CHILDREN AT PLAY signs. Nielsen
said these are not effective.

AND REVISED ENGINEER'S REPORT ON PINE BEND WATERMAIN EXTENSION
.
Dresel said two residents already had water services available to their
houses and did not want to be assessed for the Pine Bend project.
He said without these houses the assessment of the Pine Bend_project will
rise 20% for the remaining homes.
He said the City could pay the additional $8000 out of the water fund. to
be replaced when the two homes are hooked up.
Stover said this would constitute a change in the City's policy and if the
project hinges on a change in the water policy it will not get done.
She asked if a new public hearing will be necessary because of the change
in price.
Dresel said yes.
Daugherty asked if the City could assess the proper~ies for the water
even though they already have access to water. because they are in the
project area.
Dresel said the City must prove benefit to these residents. The City
cannoc assess someone for something they already have.
Gagne said this is another discussion on the City's wacer policy and he
wants to have a study session to discuss the problem.
He thought the Council had established a policy of majority rule when
assessing properties for water. He said the City should take s8000 out 0:

Gagne said the police speed study does not indicate that there is a lot
of speeding on the road.
Droege said the police were very visible and that potential speeders ~l~

there is still a problem. Droege said there are 61 children in the area
and 33 under the age of 5.
Sne said the City should take resident's request for stop signs
seriously. Droege informed the Council that they can install stop signs
even if the police do not approve.
Droege said the maintenance of a 30 MFH speed limit. instead of the 15 ~
MPH requested by residents. protects the drivers.
Brancel said the residents can install sidewalks as a way to protect the

RE:
Agenda Item No. 8 - Request to Reduce Speed on covington
Road Between Vine Hill and Sweetwater Curve
This petition raises a series of questions for Council
consideration. 1) Would a sidewalk on the north side of Covington
Road from SilverwoodPark to Vine Hill Road contribute to
pedestrian safety? 2) Should the City consider funding some
additional patrol hours over and above what SLMPSD can offer? 3)
Should Covington be reconstructed at a width that would allow on
street bike trails which would therefore allow for the enforcement
a a 25 mph speed limit?

We, the undersigned, petition the City of Shorewood to enact safety
measures which will result in speed reduction of traffic on Covington
Road between Vine Hill and Sweetwater CurveNine Ridge Road.
Speeding is a regular occurance on this stretch of road and frequently,
dangerously high speeds are encountered. Due to the presence of
children and a large number of adults who walk this road, we would like
to see reduced speeds enacted and enforced and/or speed bumps
installed.

To: James C. Hurm, City Administrator
From: Richard A. Young, Police Chief ~
Date: October 2, 1992
Subject: Covington Road Speed Petition
. RECOMMENDATION:
Increase police presence through part time officer enforcement as
outlined below.
DISCUSSION OF OPTIONS:
Speed bumps are not safe and are not effective. As you know, they can
also present a great potential for liability for the city. I strongly
recommend that speed bumps not be installed.
As you also know, a recent City Council action reduced the State of
Minnesota approved 30 MPH zone to 25 MPH citing a statute which allows
this for bike paths. The street was posted at 25 MPH. However, no bike
path exists. Further, we have been advised by the Hennepin County
District Court bench, not to write citations alleging violation of the
25 MPH zone based upon a non-existent bike path.
. The distance between Vine Hill Road and the stop sign controlled
intersection at Sweetwater Curve/Vine Ridge Road is so short that most
vehicles would not reach a maximum speed that is ticketable before they
have to start slowing down for the upcoming stop sign. We can not write
a ticket for a violation that is only slightly over the legal speed
limit. Before the courts will accept a ticket , it has to be
substantially in excess of the legal limit.
The only answer is more frequent police presence. However, we do not
have enough officers to have them in the area as frequently as would be
necessary to make a noticeable difference in the perceived problem. I
will be proposing a resolution to the Coordinating Committee allowing
individual cities to hire, at their own expense, additional part time
officers to address specific problems such as this~ I do not know what
their decision will be. Even if they pass the resolution, an ~ndividual
city would still have to have the resources and desire to implement the
program in their city.
FISCAL AND STAFF IMPACT:
Current fiscal and staff resources do not permit addressing this
perceived problem as recommended.

WHY SHOULDN'T WE HAVE SPEED BUMPS TO SLOW DOWN THE
HOTRODDERS?
~
The control of speeding in residential neighborhoods, while maintaining acceptably safe
street and roadway conditions, is a wide-spread concern which requires persistent law
enforcement effort. The inability of posted speed limit signs to curb the intentional
violat~r, leads to frequent demands for installation of "speed bumps" in public streets
and alleys. However, actual tests of various experimental designs have demonstrated the
physical inability of a speed bump to control all types of light weight and heavy-weight
vehicles successfully. In fact, a softsprung sedan is encouraged to increase speed far a
better ride, while same vehicles may lase control.
California courts have held public agencies liable for personal injuries resulting from
faulty designs~ Increased hazard to the unwary; challenges to the dare-devils; disruption of
the movement of both emergency and service vehicles; and undesirable increase in noise,
have caused speed bumps to be officially rejected as a standard traffic control device on
public streets and alleys.

Re: Speed zoning - city of Shorewood
Old Market Road/Covington Road
Dear Mr. Hurm:
.
Speed zoning studies have been placed on our agenda for the
following roads as requested in your October'31 letter:
Old Market Road - from T.H. 7 to covington Road
Covington Road - from Old Market Road to Vine Hill Road
Good ~eather and road conditions are required as are normal traffic
conditions to determine the optimal speed limit for a road. It is
therefore unlikely we can make a definite speed limit determination
until the road opens to traffic and weather conditions improve.
It might be possible to provide the initial reaction you requested .
prior to the November 12 city council meeting. Such an assessment
would be based on examination of the construction plans and would,
of course, not necessarily be the same as the final spee~ limit
determination. We will try to obtain a copy of the plans from our
district state aid office, but since there is little time before
the November 12 meeting, it might be beneficial if Shorewood would
provide us with a copy as insurance.
Please send the plans to me at our Golden Valley office. If you
have questions, my telephone number is 591-4617.
sincerely,
UBACWIV

RE:
Agenda Item No. 9
Covington Road
Request for street Lights on
Attached please find comments from the city Engineer and Police
Chief. The Planning Director has reviewed the site and concludes
that street lights could be warranted at two locationst The
intersection of Vine Hill Road and Covington and at the crest of
the hill on Covington. At this point in time the annual cost of
each street light is approximately $175.

PETITION
SEPTEMBER 10.1992
We, the undersigned, petition the City of Shorewood for street lights to
be placed at jointly selected- locations on Covington Road between Vine
Hill Road and Sweetwater CurveNine Ridge Road. We believe it is
necessary for reasons of safety. Covington Road is very busy at this
location and speeding is a major problem. In addition, vandalism to
property has taken place. Most other neighborhoods in this area are
served by street lights. No doubt our area was not served due to the fact
that for a number of years there was a private street light at 5795
Covington Road. This light was recently removed.

Attn: Mr. James Hurm, City Administrator
Re: #91458/Shorewood
Dear Mr. Hurm:
The Water Treatment Plant for Well #7 in the Southeast Area of Shorewood is complete.
The plant has been in operation since January 14, 1992 and producing good quality
effluent. The raw water has an iron content of 2.1 parts per million (PPM). Finished water
iron is approximately .03 PPM, well below the guarantee of .25 PPM specified.
The plant was constructed for $343,336.23 including changes. This cost is approximately
55% of your city engineer's estimate which was based on a plant that they designed several
years ago. Associated Consultants Engineers, Inc. (ACEI) was to be compensated on a
fixed fee basis of $40,000. This fee was based on a scope of work which was exceeded
by the following items:
1. Landscaping
Additional landscaping was added to the project prior to the bid letting.
This required issuing an Addendum, meeting with the Park Board and meeting with
the Park Board consultant.
Engineer
Drafter
Clerical
Mileage
37.0 hours
1.0 hours
3.0 hours
20 miles
2. Underground Piping
The existing underground piping was not located in accordance with the as-
built pumphouse drawings supplied to ACEI by the City of Shorewood. This
required three trips to the site, negotiations with the Contractor and additional
design work.
Engineer 37.5 hours
Drafter 5.0 Hours
Mileage 60 miles
3. Control System
The control system as-built drawings supplied by the City of Shorewood did
not correctly describe the system. Several changes were required at different
times as these system differences were discovered. These required seven
site visits, additional design work and negotiation with the Contractor and the
vendor of the original system.
.
Engineer
Mileage
43.5 hours
140 miles
4. Studies and Testing to Optimize Performance
The Specifications called for a guarantee of a maximum iron level of .25 PPM
in the finished water. This was to be achieved through a combination of
aeration and chlorine injection. The cost of the chlorine was estimated to be
approximately $2000 annually. This required twelve trips to the site. The
testing duration was limited by the tower capacity since for most of the work,
the well was required to run.
.
The effort resulted in a water quality of .03 PPM and very long intervals
between backwashes. The studies showed that this water quality can be
achieved with D.Q chlorine in the raw water providing a savings of $2,000 per
year.

Requirements
FILE NO.:
405 (92.07)
At its 24 August meeting, the City Council granted an extension to Jim Pyle to provide more
detailed information on his request for gas pumps at the Vine Hill Market. He was to
provide a detailed grading plan, prepared by a registered civil engineer, showing how his site
would be altered to minimize driveway grades.
.
Although the applicant has discussed a major site plan revision with staff, as of this writing
we have not received a detailed grading plan. Due to'inadequate information and'the time
which has elapsed since the public hearing on this matter (May '92), it is recommended that
the request be denied per the staff and Planning Commission's initial recommendations. At
such time as the applicant provides a detailed grading plan, he may reapply.

Due to slow responses regarding landscaping and grading plans, I do
not have the additional details requested by council. Also, MN rot

I believe that I will have details of my required changes within 30

We have received two quotes for landscaping at the new Public Works Facility. While both
were higher than the amount budgeted, Lan-De-Con Inc. is the lower. They have indicated
that their unit prices will stay the same even if the project is scaled down somewhat.
Further, they have some excellent ideas for improving the landscape plan which will also
reduce the cost of the project.
. Staff recommends using Lan-De-Con Inc. as the landscape contractor for the Public Works
Facility.

Re: Church Road Assessments
City Project 91-2
OSM Project No. 4680.20
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
Staff is currently in the process of compiling the assessment role for the Church Road
project. Because some of the issues regarding this project are somewhat complicated, we
thought it advisable to discuss some of them prior to the October 26 assessment hearing.
The original Feasibility Report was prepared in November, 1990 and identified
construction costs of $10~160.00, indirect (soft) costs of $35,770, and right-of-way costs
of $39,270 for ~ total of $177,200. Currently, the construction costs are estimated at
$105,500, soft costs associated with construction are at about $35,000, and right-oi-way
costs and contingencies are estimated at $87,500 for a total of $228,000.
Obviously, the total project cost is significantly higher than originally proposed -
primarily because of the high cost of obtaining right-of-way. Originally, the stated intent
of the residents was for each to donate the required rlght-of-waYJ leaving only the
acquisition of the parcel for the cul-de-sac and legal costs to be assessed. This was the
premise upon which the Council voted to proceed.
U nfortunatelYJ it appears that at least one of the residents involved intends to resist the
easement taking, and a quick and easy resolution to the situation does not appear likely.
This, we believe, will lead to the increased easement taking costs noted above. The
potential increase in assessments is estimated at $3,500 (from $12,800 to $16,300) for
each assessable unit. The proposed cost split include two (2) deferred assessments on
the cul-de-sac parcel as originally delineated in the Feasibility Report.
Keeping in mind that the proposed assessment has to have a direct bearing on the
financial benefit to the parcel involved. staff believes the Council should have some
alternatives available. One of these alternatives would be to have the City keep the
$24,000 purchase price of the cul-de-sac lot, to be recouped upon future development.
This would reduce the proposed assessments to about $14,600 each.

Mayor and City Council

As was done with Pine Bend, another alternative may be to have the City pick up part of
the street construction cost from the road fund or proposed storm sewer utility fund.
With the City assuming a 1/3 portion of the street costs (about 550,000), the proposed
assessments would be about $12,700 - very close to the original assessment of 512,800.
The Council should also be aware that some or all of the affected residents will be
receiving Some of the assessment money back in the form of easement payments.
Currently, the estimates for easement payments range from $1,000 to $6,400. While .
these payments wm have the result of reducing the net assessment, they must be
considered separately from the actual assessment roles according to the City Attorney.
We have attached a copy of the project map from the original Feasibility Report for your
convenience. Please contact me at 595-5695 with any questions.

Enclosed is the Hennepin County Residential Recycling Funding Policy effective
January 1, 1993 through December 31, 1997 recently adapted by the County
Board.
This document supersedes the version I had sent to you in August. The only
change to the final version is that the mid-year reporting date was moved to July
31 from July 15.
We are in the process of revising the grant application and the contract to conform
with the new policy. I hope to mail the application to you by October 1 and the
contract shortly thereafter.
If you have any questions in the meantime, please call.
Sincerely,

HENNEPIN COUNTY
RESIDENTIAL RECYCLING
FUNDING POLICY
JANUARY 1, 1993, THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1997
APPROVED BY THE HENNEPIN COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
SEPTEMBER 1992
.
.
HENNEPIN COUNTY
RESIDENTIAL RECYCLING FUNDING POLICY
I. BACKGROUND
Hennepin County has adopted a policy to provide funding support to
municipalities for curbside collection of residential recyclables. This policy is the
product of input received from municipalities through the Recycling Task Force
which reviewed County programs and recommended direction for future program
development.
.
II. POLICY DESCRIPTION
The Residential Recycling Funding Policy covers the period from January 1,
1993, to December 31, 1997, and provides for the following:
A. Entitlement Grant
Municipalities shall receive $1.75 per eligible residential housing unit per
month for recycling program expenses including capital and operating costs.
Eligible residential housing units are defined as single family through eight-
plex residential units, or other residential units with separate entry and where
the individual residential unit sets out its own refuse and recycling container,
such as a townhome.
.
B. Incentive Grant
A waste reduction and recycling incentive grant fund will be established and
will be equal to 5 cents per month per eligible residential housing unit. This
incentive fund will be established each year using the total number of
households as submitted by each municipality. Any portion of the incentive
grant fund not awarded will remain in the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund. This
fund will be used to provide grants for the capital and operating costs of
new or innovative methods which contribute to the efficiency and
effectiveness of residential waste reduction and recycling programs. Also
eligible are municipally sponsored programs for multi-housing and dormitories
at higher education institutions.
1
The municipal recycling coordinators, as a group, will determine a process
to select five municipal representatives to the incentive grant committee.
Two County staff will also be on the committee. The committee will
develop criteria for incentive grants each year, and will evaluate and select
proposals based on these criteria.
III. RESPONSIBILITIES OF MUNICIPALITIES
A. Aoolication for Funding
1. Entitlement
a. Applications for the entitlement must be received by November 1,
1992 and by October 1 for each year thereafter in order to receive
entitlement funding for the following year. The application must be
accompanied by a city council resolution authorizing submittal of the .
application.
b. Each municipality applying for entitlement funds must sign an
agreement to receive entitlement and incentive payments.
2. Incentive Grants
a. Applications for incentive grants are due by March 1, 1993 for the
1993 grant period. Applications must be accompanied by a
resolution authorizing submittal of the application. For each year
thereafter, applications for incentive grants must be submitted by
October 1 in order to qualify for grants for the following year.
b. For those cities awarded an incentive grant, an amendment to those
cities' entitlement agreements will be prepared in order to ensure that
grant funds can be paid to those cities.
B. Minimum Program Reauirements .
1. Recvcling Performance
Municipalities must recycle 18% of their residential waste stream or the
percentage achieved in 1992, whichever is greater. Hennepin County
will determine the residential generation upon which this percentage is
calculated, unless a municipality is able to measure its residential
generation amount.
Failure to achieve this percentage goal will result in the requirement that
a plan to increase abatement be submitted for Hennepin County approval
within 90 days of the submittal of the municipal year-end report..
2
2. Materials to be Collected
At a minimum, the following materials must be collected at curbside:
a. Newspaper and advertising supplements;
b. Corrugated ca.....dboard;
c. Clear, brown and green glass food and beverage containers;
d. Metal food and beverage cans; and ,
e. All plastic bottles with a neck except bottles that previouslycmlCia:i
hazardous materials or motor oil.
This list may be modified from time to time, with input from
municipalities and approval of Hennepin County.
.
C. Reoorting Reauirements
1. A Semi-Annual and a Final Report must be submitted to the County by
July 31 of the grant year and February 15 of the following year,
respectively, on forms provided by the County.
2. Incentive grant activities and expenditures must be reported based on
requirements developed through the incentive grant process.
D. Use of Funds
1. All entitlement funds accepted from the County must be used for waste
reduction and recycling capital and operating expenses in the year
granted; any unused fund must be returned to the County by April 1 of
the following year.
.
2. A municipality or township may not charge its residents through property
tax, utility fees or any other method for that portion of the costs of its
recycling program funded by County entitlement.
3. The municipality or township must establish a separate accounting
mechanism such as a project number, activity number, cost center or
fund that will separate recycling revenues and expenditures from all other
municipal activities including solid waste and yard waste activities.
4. All recycling and waste reduction activities, revenues and expenditures
are subject to audit.
5. Municipalities that do not contract for curbside recycl"ing services will
receive the entitlement specified in II.A provided these funds are credited
back to those residents whose participation in curbside recycling
programs can be verified.
3
IV. RESPONSIBILITIES OF HENNEPIN COUNTY
A. Entitlement grant payments will be made to a municipality or township. The
first entitlement grant payment, amounting to one third of the grant
application amount, will be made following the County Board approval of the
grant application and execution of the grant agreement. The second and
third payments will be made upon receipt of the Semi-Annual and Final
Reports.
B. The County will convene an incentive grants committee (see II.B) to
establish criteria for incentive grant applications. Criteria for the 1993
funding year will be established by January 1, 1993, and by August 1 of the
year preceding the funding year, for following periods.
C. Hennepin County will continue this funding policy thrQugh December 3.1,
1997, or as long as State and County funds are available to fund this
program. The County reserves the right to change any provision of this
policy by Board resolution, with 90 days notice.
.
V. MULTI-HOUSING PROGRAM
Hennepin County will continue to support multi-housing recycling through the
following:
A. The five cent incentive program (II. B) may be used to cover multi-housing
and dormitory recycling projects.
B. Technical assistance will be provided to support multi-housing recycling
programs.
.
C. Advertising and public education efforts to support multi-housing recycling
will be continued.

You memo of October 1, 1992 asks for an activity report on patrol in
this area since the request of early September. When the request was
made, I was not told a report would be required. I, therefore, merely
passed on the request to the officers but did not ask for a report from
them on their activities. Without such a report from them I can not
make an accurate report to you. Much of the patrol activity would not
be recorded by the officers unless specifically asked for in advance.
However, I did go back through the daily logs and found the following
where the officer had made a specific log entry:
.
9-2 1525 - 2245
9-5 1335 - 1400
9-13 2225 - 2245
9-18 1510 - 1530
9-19 1045 - 1110
9-24 1350 - 1420
. 9-25 0831 - 0919
9-25 1340 - 1425
9-26 1718 - 1853
9-29 1700 - 1715
Old market & Waterford - 1 warning
Vine Hill & Near Mountain - no contacts
Vine Hill & Shady Hills - no contacts
Vine Hill & Covington - no contacts
Old Market & Muirfield - no contacts
Vine Hill & Covington - no contacts
Old Market & Muirfield - 1 speed tag
Vine Hill & Covington - 2 speed tags
Vine Hill & Covington - 3 speed tags
Old Market & Waterford - no contacts
This is by no means all of the time spent in the area by the officers,
merely that which resulted in the officer making a specific log entry.
The tags have not all been entered in the computer yet due to the
backlog on the office staff. However, I would not expect to find many
tags on Old Market Road. The officer's have told me that speeding
vehicles sufficiently over the limit to tag are very scarce in this
area. I would expect to find more tags on Vine Hill Road because
experience has shown there tend to be more violations on that road.
There also has been the concern over the 25 MPH limit without the
official bike path on portions of Covington. The court has expressed
their concern that we do not write tags for the 25 MPH violation until
such time as a bike path really exists in those locations.
Finally, I repeat that I was not expecting to give a report so I have
not been accumulating the data. If you wish me to do so, please let me
know and I will make sure the officers report to me their activity in
this or any other specific area.
