EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
SHOREWOOD CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1991
AGENDA ITEM 3A - This requires a motion approving the Application
of Waconia Sanitation for a Refuse Collector's License in
Shorewood.
AGENDA ITEM 3B - Al though LeRoy Kramer's request for a time
extension to remove a non-licensed vehicle is until spring the
recommendation and motion would be to give him a 30 day extension
of time to remove the vehicle.
AGENDA ITEM 3C - The recommendation and motion would be to reject
the application of Scott Gysland, 4812 Ferncroft Drive, for
additional time to license a blue Ford pick-up truck and to direct
Public Works to cleanup the site at their earliest convenience.
AGENDA ITEM 3D This resolution formally accepts from the
developer, Fullerton Properties Inc., public improvements in the
plat of Fox Run West. The start of the one year warranty period
would begin at this time.
AGENDA ITEM 3E - The motion would accept the audit proposal of
Abdo, Abdo & Eick to do the 1991 City audit. The estimated cost is
$7,995 and additional $1,500 would be necessary to assist with the
forms and reports for the Government Finance Officers Association

7:15 pm, October 28, 1991 for the pine Bend watermain and street

of approval as set out in the Planning Staff Report dated June 27,
1991 for the Gideon's Cove P.U.D. Specifically the resolution
states that the revised concept plan is not intended to approve use
of the docks currently located on a pennisula. The public hearing
on this issue is set for 7:00 pm on September 30, 1991.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - SEPTEMBER 9, 1991
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM 5 - A memorandum from the Planning Director explains
that the landscaping plan submitted by the Excelsior Covenant
Church is not consistent with what was discussed when the
conditional use permit was approved for the Church in April, 1990.
The recommendation is that the Certificate of Occupancy permit be
withheld until the Church has submitted a plan which is consistent
with what had been discussed at the time the C.U.P. was approved.
AGENDA ITEM 8D-1- Members of the Council might want to talk to me
indi vidually concerning the Deephaven Mayor' s letter concerning the
Excelsior Fire Department funding formula. The Fire Department is
currently undertaking a study of the various area Fire Department
formulas and will be getting in touch with the South Lake Area
communities to discuss the formula and contract in October.
AGENDA ITEM 8D-2 - When considering the letter requesting signage
in the Covington/Vine Ridge area, please refer to the Department of
Transportation letter which has been referred to in discussing the
Shorewood Oaks petition for signage. The State Traffic Safety
Engineers strongly discourage the use of "Slow Children" playing
signs. The SLMPSD should be requested to patrol this area more
frequently on an intermittent basis. The new informational sign
for Covington Court will be install immediately upon its arrival.
It has not yet been delivered to the City.
AGENDA ITEM 8D-4 As part of our review of revenues and
expenditures during the budget process we are recommending that the
Council review our policy on who should receive copies of agendas
and minutes at no cost. Please review the memorandums from Finance
Director Al Rolek and Deputy Clerk Anne Latter and consider a
policy reducing the number of indi viduals to whom agendas and
minutes are mailed to. For all others Council minutes and agendas
will be sent or given out for the cost of copying (.25/per side).
If they wish to be added to the regular mailing list an annual fee
would be charged ($25.00/agendas and $75.00/approved minutes).

~ 5. GIDEON'S COVE P.U.D. - CONCEPT STAGE APPROVAL - DIRECT FINDINGS
OF FACT
Applicant:
Location:
Boyer Building Corp,
Lawtonka Drive
Nielsen informed the Council that Boyer Building had submitted their .
concept plan to the Planning Commission three times. A Public Hearing
was held in July and there was neighborhood objection. The Planning
Commission denied the Boyer plan that included 14 units.
'?
..:..
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

.
Nielsen said Boyer has addressed a number of the concerns aired during
the Public Hearing, including the density.
Nielsen said he should mention that two members of the Planning
Commission were concerned that sufficient notice was not sent to the
neighbors. They felt the neighbors should have been notified of the
change in the use of the peninsula. The two Commissioners tboughta
special hearing should be held to inform the neighbors of the change.
Gagne said there are two distinct discussions. One discussion involving
the approval of the P.U.D. and another regarding the dockage. He said
there has been a history of problems with the docks on this peninsula
and he wants the issue discussed independently from the P.U.D. approval.
Councilmember Stover said the two docks in question have been
grandfathered and have room for three boats each. If the City approves
the Boyer plan, six people will have use of these docks.
She said, at the current time, the docks are legally tied to the first
two lots in the Lawtonka Development. She thinks there will be a great
deal more density if there is a change in this dockage.
.
Boyer said he would like to consider the dock issue at the same time as
the P.U.D.
Nielsen said the Council can table the issue if they want to hold a
Public Hearing on the dock issue.
Boyer asked why a public hearing is necessary.
Gagne said people have been turned down for docks at this location
because the docks were not located on contiguous property. He said it
is a very volatile issue.
Stover agreed with Gagne and said she would turn down the plan as
presented.
Nielsen said the Council can hold a public hearing on the dock issue,
provided they give two weeks notice. This can be done at the Oct 1st
Planning Commission meeting.
He also advised the Council that they can approve the P.U.D. separately.
Boyer asked the Council to approve the P.U.D. without the dock.
The Council agreed to approve the P.U.D. separately and to hold the
Public Hearing at a City Council meeting.
Councilmember Lewis asked how many residents attended the Public Hearing
at the Planning Commission meeting.
Stover said there have been a number of meetings. At the last meeting
the developer did not consult with the neighbors concerning the change
in the plan for dockage on the peninsula.
Lewis asked if the Planning Commission approved the dock plan as
presented this evening.
Stover said yes.
.
Boyer explained the concept stage process which Boyer Building
presented to the Planning Commission.
He said the original concept plan was denied because the density was too
high at 3.8 units per acre, the driveways were too short
3
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
SEPTEMBER 9. 1991 - PAGE 4
and there was concern about the use of the peninsula. He said
traffic was a concern but it was thought that could be managed.
.
The second plan incorporated 3.3 units per acre and the driveways
were lengthened.
The area neighbors objected to this plan because of the visual
impact and the traffic problem. At that time the plan called for
the peninsula to be owned by two of the units.
The current plan has 12 units and brings the density to 2.8
units per acre. The buildings are spread out with 30 ft. between
_the homes. Boyer said this should decrease the traffic.
The peninsula will be owned by an association and maintained by
them. There will be room for 6 boats on the peninsula. This will
not increase the current dockage.
Boyer said the original plat was to have 6 single family homes. He said
the sale of this type of home is very sluggish at this time. Boyer
Building will build twinhomes or villa types homes to appeal to 55 and
older buyer.
He also informed the Council that the surrounding area is zoned R-2.
Stover said the area was originally zoned R-1A and was then rezoned R-1C
for the Boyers to build single family homes. She said the neighbors
have slowly seen an increase in the density of the area. She said it
should be noted in the plans that the walking path is really a Railroad .
Right of Way owned by Hennepin County.
Stover said the project has been marketed to the elderly, 55 or older.
However, the builder has no control of the age of the purchaser.
Boyer said they are not marketing this project as an elderly project
even though 55 and older can be considered elderly. He said they cannot
discriminate but their marketing approach will be toward the 55 and
older market. He said covenants can be written so that the homes will
not be attractive to young families.
Stover said Boyer is making too many assumptions about the elderly, that
they have no children, less traffic, etc.
She also said the housing will not be affordable according to the
Elderly Housing Task Force.
Stover said if each house made eight trips a day and there are twelve
houses, the traffic will increase greatly on Timber Lane which is a
substandard road.
Lewis asked if the density calculation included the R.O.W.
Nielsen said the previous plan included outlot C which bordered Timber
Lane. However, the current plan does not count R.O.W. area but does
include the peninsula in the density calculation.
Lewis asked if the plan fit in the Comprehensive Plan. Nielsen said it
did. He asked if the setback from the road is adequate. Boyer said the.
houses are 30 ft.
Lewis asked about water hookup. Nielsen said City water is on the south
side of HwY. 19.

4It Boyer said they will run water to the project.
Gagne said he is liaison to the Senior Housing Task Force and this
project is a type of housing they considered.
He asked the price of these townhomes.
Boyer said the mid $200,000 range, it could be higher.
Stover said each townhome wi 11 have one bedroom and an unfin.ished lower
level. If the lower level is finished, the homes will be higher priced.
Lewis asked Boyer's plan for lot 6. Boyer said the lot is owned by Mr.
Shafer.
Mr. Shafer said he has no plans to sell the lot.
Nielsen said the lot should be rezoned to R-2A, if Gideon's Cove is
approved.
Gagne moved, Lewis seconded to accept the Concept Stage Plan and approve
the preparation of Findings of Fact, excluding the plan for the docks on
the peninsula, subject to the recommendations of the Planner in his June
27, 1991 report.
4It
Motion carried - 4/1 (Stover)
DAN PUZAK - 23830 SMITHTOWN ROAD said the neighbors attended the first
Public Hearing on this plan. They did not attend the last Planning
Commission meeting because they thought all the problems had been
discussed. He said they would have come if they had known there was a
change in the usage of the peninsula docks. He said the neighbors have
seen the lot size decrease from 40,000 sq. ft. to 20,000 sq. ft. He
said the plan is unpopular and he would like the Council to deny the
P.U.D. until all the issues are resolved.
Brancel said the Council has approved a Concept Stage Plan, not a final
plat and the dock issue will have a separate Public Hearing.
Puzak said it will be difficult to change the density once it has been
approved. He objects to the inclusion of the peninsula in the density
calculation.
STEVE HASKINS - 5455 TIMBER LANE said he represents five neighbors. He
said they were at the Public Hearing and objected to the density of the
project. He has no objection to single family housing.
He said Timber Lane cannot handle the increased traffic with this
project.
JOHN BLUMENTRITT -BOYER BUILDING said he lives on Timber Lane and has
not experienced a traffic problem and does not think that additional
traffic from the Gideon's Cove project will create a traffic problem.
He said Mr. Puzak does not want this project to proceed, however, this
area is in District No.7 and is approved for multiple housing.
4It
Stover said the peninsula should not be part of the square footage if no
dockage is approved.

Blumentritt said the peninsula is legally tied to lots one and two of .
the Gideon's Cove project.
Brancel asked who will get the docks at the present time. Nielsen said
the first two units will get the docks.
City Attorney Sellergren said the City Code requires submittal of a
preliminary plat and this should show who retains the docks. He said
the docks can stay in the project and can be distributed any way the
City chooses.
Stover asked if the peninsula can be used in other ways. such as a park.
Nielsen said the docks are grandfathered but the use of the peninsula
would be limited by the P.U.D. approval.
Brancel directed the staff to notify residents of a Public Hearing on
the docks on the peninsula in the proposed Gideon's Cove development.
The hearing will be held September 30. 1991 at 7:00 P.M.

EXTENSION CITY PROJECT 91-11
Ed De La Forest of OSM explained to the Council the difference
between the feasibility study and the final bid on the Pine Bend
Watermain project. The final bid was $36.000 higher than the
Feasibility Study and the cost to the City to reconstruct the
street will be $75,000. De La Forest said the assessment per
parcel will increase by $1000.
He said Joel Dresel did discuss the difference in the cost with
the neighbors.
.

Forest if there will be enough time to complete the project before
winter.
De La Forest said it can be done.
Bortscheller asked the Council if there has been a change in the
City water hook-up assessment policy. He asked if a resident has
to hook-up to the water within a certain time.
Brancel and City Administrator Hurm said there has been no change
in policy, a resident is not required to hook-up and there is no
time limit.
.
Gagne asked the total number of residents to be assessed. De La
Forest said 11 residents will be assessed.
Gagne asked Rolek if there is $8000 in the water fund. Rolek said
there is money in the water fund. However, the $67,600 will come
from the General Fund.
Lewis asked if the "soft costs" in the project will increase with
the final bid price.

1.
CALL TO ORDER
Councilmember Gagne called the meeting to order at 7:05 P.M.
B. ROLL CALL
Present: Councilmembers Gagne, Stover, Daugherty and Lewis.
City Administrator Hurm, City Engineer Dresel, City Finance
Director Rolek, City Planner Nielsen and Public Works
Superintendent Zdrazil.
Absent:
Mayor Brancel
2. DRAINAGE ISSUES
City Engineer Dresel said a storm drainage map was developed in the
1970's identifying the drainage areas in Shorewood.
He said there are two major problems to be addressed.
1.
2.
The City has no Capital Drainage Project funds.
The City needs money for small drainage projects.
Dresel said the City is proposing to charge each household $15.00 per
year utility charge to be used for drainage projects.
He said the City will be divided into 16 Watershed Districts within a
Shorewood/Lake Minnetonka Drainage District.
Councilmember Stover said the current policy requires the approval of
more than 50% of the residents before a project can be assessed. She
asked if this policy will remain in affect.
Dresel said the Council will have to decide if they want to make a
policy change. He said the legislature approved the establishment of
drainage districts to assess everyone in an area for a drainage project.
Dresel said residents on high ground do not want to pay for drainage
problems.
Dresel said three projects have already been identified as needing
immediate attention.
1. Grant Lorenz
2. Glen Road
3. Public Works pond
Councilmember Lewis said. with the current policy. a small minority can
hold up a project.
Councilmember Gagne asked what dollar amount would they consider to be a
small project.
1
~B
CITY COUNC I L WORKSHOP
SEPTEMBER 16. 1991 - PAGE 2

Dresel said a project under about $35.000 will be considered a small
project.
.
STREETS
Dresel explained that funds are available for designated MSA (Municipal
State Aid) roads. At the present time Shorewood has about $500.000 i,n
the MSA fund.
Dresel said he has worked with Public Works Superintendent Zdrazil to
prepare a street pavement schedule. however. they are not proposing to
do this with a computer program. - They agreed that Strawberry Lane will
be the first road to be reconstructed: it is scheduled to be done next
year.
EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE
Hurm said a schedule for equipment replacement has been put together.
He said equipment certificates can be used to purchase equipment during
times of peak replacement.
Gagne said the City has been saving ahead to purchase equipment and this
would reverse that policy.
Finance Director Rolek said the City can do both. He said there is .
$105.000 in the Equipment Fund. The City can finance equipment in many
ways but there should be a plan.
Hurm and Rolek said the City can issue Equipment Certificates or
Springsted can do this. They said banks are very eager to purchase
these certificates.
Hurm said the City should look at all options. make a decision and stick
with it.
Public Works Superintendent Zdrazil said the replacement schedule has
remained the same. however. a $50.000 per year budget will not be
enough.
PUBLIC FACILITY
Dresel said the public works site is being graded and there is a lot of
excess fill. It is on schedule.
SANITARY SEWER
Dresel is recommending discontinuation of the I & I project.
Stover asked about the Metro. Sewer contract. Dresel said the MWCC is
examining overall III rates. .
Gagne asked why an average of the S. E. Area water usage can't be used
to calculate sewer rates. Dresel said the area has a lot of groundwater
and storm runoff and this complicates the calculations.

SEPTEMBER 16. 1991 - PAGE 3
WATER
Hurm referred to the revised spreadsheet for a fully developed water
system.
Hurm said the City recalculated the number of units to be assessed for
water and determined there are about 1800 units. The assessment per
unit would then be $7300.
Hurm said each resident would be assessed $800 for construction of a new
tower and trunck main and $4000 for the lateral line. He said any new
units that are added-after the water is installed would pay a $2500
connection fee in addition to the $4000 for the lateral line.
He said all residents would have to connect within five years.
This revenue would be needed to make the project work.
Water rates will increase 3% annually beginning in 1996.
Hurm said a second water treatment plant may be needed in the western
section of the City.
Gagne said they should include a second water treatment plant.
Hurm said the City could start the 3% rate increase a year earlier to
obtain funds for this plant.
Hurm said it might be advisable to obtain an appraisal of the potential
increase in value of the properties with water installed. This may be
costly but could save money in any potential lawsuits.
Hurm said residents should be told the proposal would require them to
connect to the water system within five years.
Stover said she will not support any plan that requires connection. She
said this will require a policy change and many older residents will
object.
Gagne asked how long the project will take. Hurm said it will take
three years.
Gagne said he cannot support assessing a residents before the water is
installed. Hurm said all would be assessed $800 spread over 15 years
beginning in December of 1992. Water would be available, depending on
location, in the fall of 1992, 1993 and 1996. It would be at that point
that the $4000 would be assessed over 15 years.
Gagne said he thinks residents will approve a water system.
"FUDGE FACTORS"
Hurm presented a number of factors that could adjust the costs of the
project.
He said he hopes the 35% standard soft costs could be reduced to 25% due
to economies of scale.
Gagne asked what kind of negotiations can be done on a large contract.
Dresel said there would not be much negotiation if they wanted the
project done in one year because only about two contractors can handle
-
..::.
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP
SEPTEMBER 16. 1991 - PAGE 4
that kind of project. However, over a period of three years, many
contractors can bid on the project.
.
POLICY QUESTIONS
Hurm reviewed a series of policy questions and possible changes.
Stover objected to requiring connection to the system.
Gagne, Lewis and Daugherty said requiring connection is necessary to
make the system work.
Daugherty said the City should obtain input from residents in the form
of flyers to their homes.
Gagne said the City should have the two information meetings and make a
decision.
Nielsen said all residents should receive notification of the proposed
system because their rates will 'be affected.
Daugherty said a telephone survey can be done. Lewis agreed with this.
Hurm said the City can mail flyers and information packets. then do a
telephone survey and finally have the two information meetings.
He asked the Council if they agreed with the Policy statements
presented.
Lewis, Daugherty and Gagne agreed. They wanted the addition of a
treatment plant in the Western section of Shorewood.
Stover did not.
.
WATER PROGRAM INFORMATION PACKET
Hurm reviewed an outline of the proposed information packet.
The Council said the packet should not ,be presented as Pros and Cons.
The packet should simply list the facts of the project and
considerations involved.
Gagne asked if the rest of the Council agreed with the policy not to
encourage development by not assessing property until it is developed.
The Council did agree with this.
The Council discussed the costs of abandoning a well and the costs
ranged between $300 and $1000.
The Council will have to make a decision regarding this.
They decided to delete this from the packet. as any abandoned well. with
or without a City system. would need to be capped. At this point the
City would not require abandonment. Well water could still be used
outside.
The Council decided to have an independent group do a telephone survey. .
Nielsen recommended Judith Marshik who did the Senior Housing Study.

RE:
Appeal Notice to Remove - Leroy Kramer
FILE NO.
Property - 4475 Enchanted Lane
.
Mr. Leroy Kramer, 4475 Enchanted Lane, has requested additional time to comply with a
"Notice to Remove" sent to him on 27 August 1991 (Exhibit A, attached). Although his
appeal letter (Exhibit B) does not specify, he asks for additional time to license one of the
vehicl~s on the notice, due to title problems with the vehicle. Apparently all the other items
have been, or will be, resolved except for the Jeep. He asks that he be allowed to keep the
vehicle through this winter after which he will either license it or remove it from the
property .
Approval of this extension would be considerably longer than the normal thirty days which
the Council has granted on previous appeals. It is reCommended that any extension of time
be limited to thirty days.
If you have any questions relative to this matter, please contact my office before Monday
night's meeting.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Shorewood
Shorewood, Minnesota
This letter will confirm our understanding of the services we will provide for the City of
Shorewood for the year ended December 31, 1991. We will audit the general purpose
financial statements of the City as of and for the year ended December 31, 1991.
Our audit will be made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and will
include tests of the accounting records of the City of Shorewood and other procedures we
consider necessary to enable us to express an unqualified opinion that the financial statements
are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. If our opinion is other than unqualified, we will fully discuss the
reasons with you in advance.
Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions
recorded in the accounts, and may include tests of the physical existence of inventories, and
direct confirmation of receivables and certain other assets and liabilities by correspondence
with selected individuals, creditors, and financial institutions. We will request written
representations from your attorneys as part of the engagement, and they may bill you for
responding to this inquiry. At the conclusion of our audit, we will also request certain
written representations from you about the financial statements and related matters.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements; therefore, our audit will involve judgment about the
number of transactions to be examined and the areas to be tested. Also, we will plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. However, because of the concept of reasonable assurance and
because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that
material errors, irregularities, or illegal acts, including fraud or defalcations, may exist and
not be detected by us. We will advise you, however, of any matters of that nature that come
to our attention. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit
and does not extend to matters that might arise during any later periods for which we are not
engaged as auditors.

We understand that you will provide us with the basic information required for our audit and
that you are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that information. We will
advise you about appropriate accounting principles and their application and will assist in the
preparation of your financial statements, but the responsibility for the financial statements
remains with you. This responsibility includes the maintenance of adequate records and
related internal control structure policies and procedures, the selection and application of
accounting principles, and the safeguarding of assets.
Our audit is not specifically designed and cannot be relied on to disclose reportable
conditions, that is, significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control
structure. However, during the audit, if we become aware of such reportable conditions or
ways that we believe management practices can be improved, we will communicate them to

RE:
Excelsior Covenant Church - Landscaping Plan
FILE NO.
405 (90.04)
.
In April of 1990 the Excelsior Covenant Church was granted a conditional use permit to
build an addition on the west side of their building. The c.u.p. was specifically contingent
upon their submitting a landscape plan for approval by the City Council (see Exhibit A,
Excerpt from Resolution No.34-90). The staff report for their c.u.p., dated 27 March 1990,
recommended that their landscape plan concentrate on the. north side of the site where the old
driveway was removed, and on the west side of the site, to retain the type of screening which
had existed prior to construction (see Exhibit B).
A landscape plan submitted by Mr. Jack Streed is too large to copy for this report and will
be presented at the meeting on Monday night. His recommedations to the church are stated
in a letter attached as Exhibit C. The plan which ha~ been submitted is considered to be
primarily decorative foundation planting which requites no approval by the City. The plan
does not address the screening which was recommended in the staff report. Having viewed
the site when the leaves were down, the construction of the church addition has left a gap in
the existing vegetation on the west side of the site. While the property to the west is
currently undeveloped, it is zoned for residential use. Consequently, it has been
recommended to representatives of the church that evergreen trees be planted on the west
side of the parking lot to screen the parking. Six-foot trees planted now would provide a
visual buffer by the time the property to the west is developed. It is recommended that
evergreen shrubbery of some sort be planted in the area where the old driveway w~
removed.
The plan as submitted is not consistent with what was discussed when the c.u.p. was
approved. It is recommended that the certificate of occupancy be withheld until the church
. has submitted a plan addressing the areas referenced above.

To: Building Committee
Excelsior Covenant Church
James Volling, Chairman
From: J. Streed
Subject: Landscaping Proposals
1. The landscaping requirement for Excelsior Covenant Church are minimal.
This is one case where a very little is quite adequate. Your site
presently has all the trees and shrubs that you need, and I recommend
just three improvements. On the overlay/they are marked A, B, and C.
A. You might consider putting four or five small trees in this area.
River birch, aspen, and amelanchier and examples of small, hardy
trees that would serve quite nicely. Not only would such a planting
add interest and a focal point to the southwest quadrant of your
property, but it would also serve as a guide for traffic when the
Minnesota snows are blowing around, .obscuring curb and pavement.
B. These planting pockets present a fine opportunity for effective,
minimum maintenance landscaping. Planted either with a ground cover
such as Baltic Ivy, or even Ground Ivy and/or a strong perennial
such as, say, Hemerocallis or Rudbeckia, they will provide a good
accent on the west side of the building.
C. The AC equipment can be screened 'any number of ways. The simplest
would probably be with a wooden fence or trellis which can be
enlarged to accommodate more equipment.
2. I see no need for anything more than the above. The area shaded light
green should be seeded or sodded in some places, but that is all. The
rest of the property, that property outside the parking area could well
be left unmowed entirely. Free growing grasses are attractive and
provide numerous environmental advantages.
Sincerely,
Jack Streed

City Manager
City of Excelsior, Minn.

AUG 2 6 /991
Dear Mr. Withers,
For some years, the City of Deephaven has purchased from the
City of Excelsior, fire protection services for our
citizens. During this time you have received many
compliments from us for the fast and efficient response to
our needs. We have no complaints about the actual per-
formance of your fire department.
I regret to advise you however, that we do have a serious
complaint about the manner in which you see fit to- allocate
your costs, not only to us but also to adjacent cities
who are also purchasing service from you. I have voiced my'
complaint, to you before, but apparently you have chosen to
ignore what I consider improper and unfair distibution of
expense among participating cities.
.
According t6 your letter, you have chosen "tax capacity" as
a basis for cost allocation, despite the fact that this has
no relationship to the fire risk involved, to the true value
of property that must be protected nor to the potential work
load that Excelsior must assume to protect Deephaven
property.
As you know "tax capacity" is an arbitrary number designed
by the state legislature to set highly progressive taxes
against property carrying high assessed value, while leaving
low assessment properties with low taxes. One home assessed
at say $680,000 is judged to have 27 times as much tax
capacity as one home assessed at $68,000 despite the fact
that it is only ten times more valuable than the lower
priced residence. Applying this sort of formula to set fire
protection charges is ridiculous. Surely the fire risk and
the service need of one $680,000 home is not 27 times
greater than what is needed to cover one home of one-tenth
the value yet under your formula, that is exactly what you
propose to charge us.
With our considerable Lake Minnetonka shoreline, and with
ever rising values being placed upon shoreline property, we
have many homes falling in the highest of the steeply
progressive tax structure mandated by the state. The fact
that land prices have increased so sharply, has nothing to
do with increased fire risk. Fire does not destroy land.
.
It is our opinion that fire protection costs should be
allocated on the basis of the number of locations where such
an event might occur, plus a factor that covers the monetary
?J 0-../
value of what might be destroyed. I repeat, tax capacity
bears no relationship to this.
Under your misguided formula we believe Deephaven is being
asked to cover an unfair portion of the total expense and if
you persist in sticking to tax capacity, we intend to seek
elsewhere for service that will cover our needs.
Our service from Excelsior, as I said in the beginning, has
been excellent. Your decision that arbitrarily places an
unfair cost burden on high valued property, is not
acceptable however.
While not a part of this discussion, I must point out to you
the fallacy of the state laws on residential property taxes.
Progressive taxation is widely accepted when based with
ability to pay.The assessed value of a property has nothing
to do with the ability of the occupants capacity to pay. In
our city we have many long term residents who have seen
their homes grow in value at a rate far greater than their
income. Imposing progressive taxation upon these people is
not proper.
We will be happy to meet with you and the other cities
concerned, in order to try to develop a proper and equitable
formula. Working together, I am sure that this is possible.
We will appreciate your thoughts on this. I trust that I
have made our position abundantly clear.
Sincerl-y yours,
Mayor, City of Deephaven

Re: Speed Zoning - City of Shorewood
Shorewood Oaks Drive/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 familiar 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 prevailing 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.

RE: Status of Shorewood Oaks Petition
.
Request for speed limit reduction to 15 M.P.H.
.
State Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has been completed
and recommends 30 M.P.H. limit be maintained. They suggest
installation of two turn ahead arrow signs with advisory speed
plates for the curves. Siqns could be authorized bv city
Council motion.
.
Request for speed limit signs - Action completed
Resolution 65-91 directs installation of 30 M.P.H. speed limit
signs on both sides of Shorewood Oaks Drive between Maple Leaf
Circle and Burlwood Court and on westbound Oak Leaf Trail.
. Request for "slow children" signs - No Action
For a number of reasons Traffic Safety Engineers strongly
discourage such signs. A false sense of security is but one
reason. See the January 12, 1989 MnDOT Traffic Engineer's
letter.
. Request for stop sign placement - Action completed
Resolution 64-91 directs installation of stop signs on Oak Leaf
Trail at both its north and east bound intersections with
Shorewood Oaks Drive.
. City Council should ask the Police Department to become more
visible in this area on an intermittent basis.

SEPTEMBER 17, 1991
RE:
CHARGES FOR MAILED MINUTES AND AGENDAS
We currently are maintaining a mailing list for City Council
agendas and minutes. The copying and postage expenses of
maintaining such a list can be quite costly. It was suggested that.
a fee be established to defray the cost of such mailings.
.
Because of possible legal implications of such a fee, the ci tl
Attorney was consulted regarding the City's obligation to provi~~
this service. In his.opinon,according to. state statute, a fee may
be charged for mailing of council agendas for regular council
meetings; agendas for special council meetings must be mailed to
.residents upon request, at city expense, .if the agendas for such
meetings are not published in the official newspaper. Likew~s8,
minutes must be mailed upon request, at city expense for postaga.
However, it was the attorney's opinion that the cost of copying
could be charged back.
Upon researching the matter further, we found several other
communities which are presently charging for the mailing of agendas
and minutes.
.
Our average Council agenda is four pages and our average set of
Council minutes is 11 pages . When applying a $.25 per page copying
charge, mailing materials, and the first class .postage rate to
these figures, and multiplying by the number of meetings each year,
the annual cost of mailing agendas is $35.00; the ann\Ialcost of
mailing minutes, for copying and materials only, is $75.00.
Inasmuch as the city posts all meeting agendas in designated
public places for public inspection and maintains a minute book at
the City Hall which is available for public inspection, I recommend
that a fee be established to defray the cost of these types of
mailings. I recommend an annual fee of $35.00 for mailed agendas
and $75.00 for mailed minutes. Further, requests for such mailing~

would be renewed annually in writing and be accompanied by the
annual fee.
Residents who would like copies of agendas or minutes and are
willing to pick them up at City Hall would be charged only the $.25
per page copying charge.
I would be happy to discuss this matter with you further at your
convenience.

RE:
council Meeting Mailing List
.
The City council meetings generates an enormous amount of copying
and time spent with the preparation and distribution for residents
requesting minutes and agendas (list attached).
The minimum total for copying agendas is 78 copies for each City
Council meeting. This may in"crease depending on the number of
issues on the agenda. For example, anyone listed on the agenda
automatically is mailed a copy. Then there is another list for
minutes (agenda included) that is sent to the Commission members,
and others for a total of 21 (decreased by 5, 9/9/91 meeting) plus
copies for the front counter.
I recommend that we consider the suggestions in the Finance
Director's memorandum (suggesting fees) and further set a policy
that the City Council minutes, as requested by residents, be copied
only after it has been approved by the Council. That the current
list be reviewed to decrease further the limit on the mailing. Two
options to be considered - .
option one: would be the entire 14 members of the 2 Shorewood
Commissions, mail only to the chairperson, and eliminate the
duplication tQ the 2 newspapers (they get complete packets),
and review the list of others.
option two: handout minutes/agendas at the commission meetings
and not send to the duplicates to the newspapers.
Should you have any questions or concerns I would be happy to meet
with you and review.

To the Mayors and Local Governments of Minnesota:
On October 11th, 12th and 13th 1991 the North American Vexillological
Association will hold its annual convention in Minneapolis. This is an
association of flag researchers, collectors, manufacturers and others
interested in flags.
When meeting in the different areas of North America, members research
local flags and flag history, display their findings during their
meetings, and in many cases publish the results in vexillological
journals.
There will be a public display of Minnesota city and local flags during
their meeting in October.
This interest and attention to the local areas of Minnesota is good
for our state, and good for the many cities and counties of Minnesota.
We hope and encourage you, that if you are contacted by a member of
this association, you will be happy to cooperate and provide them with
information about your local area flags and flag history.
