PARK COMMISSION REPORT
Park Commission Liaison Vogel reported to the Council regarding the
Park Commission meeting of Feb. 19. 1991.
Vogel said the Commission discussed the use of Freeman Park for the
Spring Cleanup. He said the Park Commission does not recommend using
the Park for this purpose. They suggested using curb-side pickup. use
other property for this purpose or consider omitting the cleanup.
Vogel reported that the Park Commission has held public meetings to
discuss the proposed Park Referendum. The sports organizations were
very excited about the referendum but few of the organizers live in
Shorewood. Fifteen people attended the meeting for the residents of
the east side of Shorewood. Of these 15, 9 voted yes for the
referendum., 3 no and 3 undecided.
The next meeting for the west side of Shorewood will be held Feb. 26,
1991 at the Minnetonka Intermediate School.
Vogel asked the Council if the Park Commission should survey residents
concerning the Snowmobile Ordinance?
The Council said it was not necessary.
Vogel asked the Council to approve authorization for Park Planner
Koegler to spend about $300 to research the purchase of the Wagner
property adjacent to Freeman Park.

FENCE HEIGHT VARIANCE (Postponed from February 11 Meeting)
APPLICANT:
LOCATION:
Wi 11 iam Mi lIer
25780 Sunnyvale Lane
Mr. Miller requested a variance to the fence height requirements of
the Zoning Ordinance.
Miller erected a five foot fence, in an area that was previously a
garden, to contain his two dogs. Since this area is within the 35 ft.
setback from the street, the fence is limited to four feet.
Planner Nielsen recommended the variance be denied because reasonable
use can be made of the property without the variance. There is ample
room to erect a six foot fence, if he relocates the dog pen. Mr.
Miller did not apply for a permit to erect his fence.
Miller presented pictures and diagrams to the Council to show that he
lives on a corner lot. Because of this situation, his yard has more
setback requirements. It would be difficult to relocate the pen
because the rest of the yard is being used for other things.
Brancel asked Nielsen is he had any comments. He said he had nothing
to add.
Gagne said there have been complaints about his dogs.
Miller said there had been some complaints about his dogs but
subsequently it was found there were people in the yard. There have
been burglaries and vandalism in the area.
The Chanhassen animal patrol found no problem with his dogs when they
drove by his house and the dogs are only out when someone is home.
Gagne said he had no problem with the fence height variance.
Daugherty agreed.
Councilmember Lewis asked Miller why he did not respond to the
Planning Commission.
Nielsen said he did not appear at the second Planning Commission
meeting.
Miller said he had the impression it was not necessary.
Gagne moved. Daugherty seconded. to approve the preparation of
Findings of Fact for a variance to the Fence Height Ordinance for
William Miller.

Motion carried - 4/0.
FREEMAN PARK PUMP HOUSE. BUDGET
Nielsen said the previous Council had authorized $2000.00 for the
erection of a masonry building at Freeman Park to house the pump for
the irrigation system. The Council chose a masonry building because of
the concern about vandalism in the park.
He said the low bid on the project is $3000.00. The Council will need
to authorize an additional $1000.00 for the project.
Lewis asked how the Council determined the $2000.00 figure. Nielsen
said it was an estimate.
Daugherty asked if a wood and masonry building could be built for the
$2000.00 to keep the cost down.
Lewis also said the $3000.00 cost was high.
Gagne said the building will hold all the controls for the irrigation
system.
Brancel said the masonry will protect the instruments from vandalism.
Gagne moved. Brancel seconded. to approve and additional $1000.00 for
construction of a pump house at Freeman Park.
Daugherty said the Council should take one more look at a less
expensive structure.
Nielsen said he would look into it.
Gagne and Brancel withdrew their motion and the Council instructed
Nielsen to look at other alternatives for the pump house building.
LMCD REPORT - ROBERT RASCOP
Robert Rascop. the LMCD representative for Shorewood. explained the
objectives of the LMCD to the new Councilmembers.
He said the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District was created by the
State Legislature 27 years ago to manage Lake Minnetonka for the 14
cities surrounding the lake. Each representative is appointed for a 3
year term.
The LMCD is currently working on a Comprehensive Plan for the lake.
Eight cities have passed a resolution opposing the plan. especially
the shoreline development provisions.
Rascop said the Cities that object are primarilY the cities that have
a high density on the lake.
He said the DNR has said that Cities with lakes in their boundaries
must develop a shoreline plan. The LMCD is trying to draw up these
regulations for the lake.
Rascop said the budget for the LMCD is levied among the 14 cities.
Gagne asked how the milfoil problem is being handled.
Rascop said the budget for the harvesting is set but funding is a
problem. The harvesting will be run more smoothly this year.
This is only maintenance. it will not solve the problem.

RESOLUTION NO. 21-91
SHADY HILLS DRAINAGE PROJECT
A. Approve Plans and Specifications and Direct Notice to Bidders
(Plans and Specifications Available for Review at City Hall)
Engineer Dresel presented an overview of the Shady Hills project.
The project was initiated because Rev. Almquist had water
draining into and through his house from the surrounding area.
A feasibility study was done and it was determined that it would
cost $35.000 to remove the existing sewer and replace it. This
project created the City's first Taxing District. All property
in the drainage area is taxed on an Ad Valorem basis because it
is difficult to prove benefit to each resident with a drainage
project. The average tax per parcel is $1000 but the actual tax
is calculated on an ad valorem basis.
Dresel said the timetable for the project will be as follows:

DISCUSS LEASING SPACE FOR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
Nielsen said he asked the Tonka Bay administrator to present
Shorewood's proposal to the Tonka Bay Council.
The Council was cool to the idea. especially the use of outdoor
storage. They were also concerned about the loss of tax base of about
$3000 per year, if the City bought the property.

Gagne asked if the Hanus company would be willing to lease with a buy-
out provision.
Daugherty said the Financial Advisory Board advised making a
comparison between leasing the Hanus building and building on the
City's own site.
Finance Director Rolek said that without a buy-out provision. a lease
would not be financially feasible.
MR. HANUS - Hanus said his company would not be interested in a lease
with a buy-out for the next five years.

televise the pipes joint to joint and pressure test the
pipes and grout the joints if they fail. Their reports on
the pipes can help the City cut it's costs with the
Metropolitan Waste Commission.
3. Status of Glen Road Drainage Project
Dresel explained the history of the Glen Road project.
He said the area has been established as a storm sewer
Taxing District.
At the Dec. 28th City Council meeting the Engineer was
told to inform the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District
to proceed with their evaluation. OSM was told to update
the Feasibility Report and ask the MCWD for a permit to
proceed.
Dresel asked the Council if they still wished to proceed
in this manner.
He said a large portion of the cost of the project was to
obtain easements.
The Council indicated they wanted Dresel to update the
Feasibility Report for cost and obtain a permit from the
MCWD. He said it would take about a month.
C. PLANNING DIRECTOR'S REPORT
1. Schedule Spring Cleanup
Nielsen asked the Council to establish a date for the
Spring Clean UP.
He told the Council he had looked into the curb-side pick
up in Excelsior. The cost of curb-side pickup is billed to
the resident's utility bill.
He said last year's cost for the spring clean-up was
$24,000, only $6000 was received in fees.
Gagne asked if curb-side would be feasible in Shorewood.
Nielsen said he would check into it.
Lewis and Brancel agreed that the clean-up at Freeman Park
is getting out of hand.
Lewis said he agrees with the Park Commission that it is
not a proper use of park land.
PAUL KRUEGER - 6015 BURLWOOD COURT
Mr. Krueger said his land abuts the clean-up area in
Freeman Park and he would not have purchased the house if
he had known about it.
He has asked the Council not to use the land for the clean-
up and is asking them again. He feels it is not a good use
for the park. The City should have a curb-side pick-UP or
not have a clean-up.

RE:
Brandhorst, Clifford - C.U.P. for Agricultural Use in the R-1A District
FILE NO.:
405 (91.03)
BACKGROUND
Mr. Cliff Brandhorst owns approximately 10 acres of property located at 27225 Smithtown
Road (see Site Location map - Exhibit A, attached), upon which he grows wholesale plant
products (e.g. Hosta). The nature of this activity requires the use of temporary greenhouse
structures to shade the plants during summer months. Since the property is zoned R-IA,
Single-Family Residential, agricultural use of the property and related buildings require
approval of a conditional use permit by the City. Mr. Brandhorst has therefore applied for
a C.U.P. pursuant to Section 1201.10 Subd. 4.d. and e. of the City Code.
Apparently Mr. Brandhorst has been conducting his business for several years. Recent
construction on one of his greenhouses brought the matter to the attention of our office.
In addition to the greenhouse structures, the property is occupied by Mr. Brandhorst's
home and two accessory buildings. As can be seen on Exhibit B, much of the site is
bordered by natural vegetation and landscaping.
With the exception of the cemetery located adjacent to the northeast comer of the site, the
property is surrounded by single-family residences. Those lots south of the subject site are
approximately 660 feet deep and most of the houses are located on the south half of those
lots.

Re: Brandhorst, Cliff
C.U.P.-Agricultural Use
28 February 1991
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
It is not uncommon for suburban communities to address agricultural uses in their zoning
ordinances. In larger, less developed suburbs land may actually be zoned for agricultural
use. In more residentially developed areas, agricultural uses are often allowed by
conditional use permit. This is the approach adopted by Shorewood, where less than a
handful of agricultural properties remain.
Shorewood's zoning provisions are intended to address the potentially adverse impacts
which might be associated with agricultural activities in proximity to residential
development.
A. Parcel Size. The Zoning Ordinance defines agricultural land as "Continuous acreage
of 10 acres or more...". The applicant's property consists of three contiguous parcels
containing 9.75 acres. It is recommended that one of the conditions of the C.U.P.
should be that the parcels remain under the applicant's ownership. At such time as
any of the parcels are sold separately, the C.U.P. shall be void.
B. Pollution. While livestock is not an issue in this case, significant chemical fertilizing
could be, particularly since the area in question is primarily served by private wells.
The applicant states, however, that what little fertilizer he uses, is applied by hand,
similar to how a lawn is fertilized.
Another potential pollution concern related to agricultural use is dust from plowing
operations. The applicant does not use a tractor for tilling. When necessary, he uses
a garden tiller.
C. Traffic. With the exception of raspberries (in season), products grown on the site are
not sold there. Also, products are transported from the site by a small van.
Consequently, neither the amount or type of traffic should pose a problem.
D. Visual Impact. The greenhouse structures are shown, without their shade cloth, on
Exhibit D. The proposed location of these structures is shown on Exhibit B. The
applicant states that the greenhouses are moved around occasionally, but will be
confined to the clearing south of his home.

.
Re: Brandhorst, Cliff
C.U.P.-Agricultural Use
28 February 1991
The visual impact of the. temporary structures is negligible due to the extent of
existing vegetation on the site. Field inspection of the site reveals that, even in
winter when foliage is down, the area proposed for the greenhouses are screened
from view of adjoining properties.
A condition of any C.U.P. should be that the greenhouses be confmed to the clearing
south of the house and that the existing vegetation buffer be maintained.
RECOMMENDATION
It is worth noting that the agricultural use of the subject property has expanded over the
past several years. Even though the greenhouses have been erected for two years or more,
we have no record of any complaints relative to the use of the property. This appears to
verify that the applicant's activities have little or no impact on the surrounding area.
Based upon the preceding, it is recommended that the applicant's request for a C.U.P. be
granted subject to the following:
1. The three parcels must remain under the ownership of the residents of the home
located at 27225 Smithtown Road. The agricultural use of the property should be
limited to the residents of the property.
2. The sale of agricultural products must be limited to such products as are raised on the
premises only. Retail sales shall be limited to seasonal sale of fruits and vegetables
grown on the premises.
3. The temporary greenhouses must be confined to the clearing shown on the applicant's
site plan, and must be kept in good repair.
4. Except for the greenhouses, all structures must comply with current building and
zoning codes.
5. Existing site vegetation shall be maintained.

Re: Conditional Use Permit
Requested by E. Cl11"ford Brandhorst
This request for a Conditional Use Permit is to allow temporary shade
structures to be used in accordance with ordinance
The shade structures are constructed of metal and wood framing to hold shade
cloth materials. The cloth is used only during June, July and August to
protect the crops being grown. The framing is moved from time to time to
accomodate relative plantings. The structures have no permanance as to
location.
The frames average 8 feet in height and at no time exceed city specifications
of 15 feet. Because of the area in which the frames are used, as noted by a
attached documentation, they are not re~dily visible to ~ adjacent property
owners. The areas are isolated by tree plantings and natural barriers.
The nature of the activity is that of growing shade-loving ground covers.
It is strictly an agriculture wholesale plant product that involves very little
equipment operation and no use of large trucks or tractors.
The 9.75 acres involved are zoned by the county as agricultural. Because
of current usage, I am requesting that I be allowed to construct a temp-
orary structure of not more than 1 200 square feet near the other permanent
garage. This is to allow for the storage of equipment that it takes to mow and
maintain 9.75 acres. In the past these machines have had to sit outside.
None of the current structures or proposed will be within 25 feet of the
property bo~~drys.
It should be recognized by the City of Shorewood that this is at least one
agribusiness in the city and the needs for such an activity are not the same
as a typical residenceo The structures therefor requested are necessary
to maintain and continue to use this property for agricultural purposes.

DATE:
28 February 1991
RE:
Clark, Dennis - Variance for Two Dwellings on One Lot
FILE NO.:
405 (91.04)
BACKGROUND
Mr. Dennis Clark proposes to build a new home on his property located at 20880 Radisson
Road (see Site Location map - Exhibit A, attached). He would like to keep his existing
residence until the new house is finished. Since Section 1201.03 Subd. 2.c.(5) of the
Zoning Ordinance precludes having more than one principal building on a lot, Mr. Clark
has asked for a variance to the restriction.
The existing house is located on the west half of the lot, approximately 15 feet from
Tiffany Lane (see Exhibit B), a private street which serves the Christmas Lake Townhomes
(a.k.a. Tingewood). The new house will be located approximately in the center of the lot,
a little more than 50 feet from any portion of Tiffany Lane.
The subject property is zoned R-1C, Single-Family Residential and contains 26,911 square
feet of area.
ANALYSIS/RECOMMENDATION
The applicant's proposal is relatively simple and there is precedent for accommodating his
request. In doing so there are two issues with which the City should be concerned:
1) a deadline for completion of the work; and 2) a guarantee that the existing house will be
removed.

Re: Clark, Dennis
Variance for Two Dwellings
28 February 1991
1. Deadline. Considering the type of structure being proposed, one year should be more
than adequate to complete the new building, demolish the old one and restore the site.
The one year deadline should commence upon the Council's approval of the variance.
2. Guarantee. Initially the City's assurance that the old structure will be removed within
a year can be the certificate of occupancy for the new house. However, it is
anticipated that there will be some lapse between the time the applicant moves into
the new house and when he tears down the old. This should be arranged so that no
more than two weeks will go by before the demolition.
Prior to requesting a final inspection it is recommended that the applicant be required
to submit a bid for demolition of the old building. Based on that bid, a letter of
credit or cash escrow for 150 percent of the bid amount should be required to ensure
that the demolition occurs on schedule.
.c
.'
For the most recent request similar to Mr. Clark's, the City Attorney recommended
that the applicant enter into a brief agreement with the City. A proposed draft is
attached as Exhibit C.'
Based on the preceding it is recommended that the applicant's request be granted subject to
the two conditions suggested above.

RE:
Minnetonka Country Club - Simple Subdivision/Combination and Variance
FILE NO.:
405 (91.05)
BACKGROUND
Over the past several years the owners of the Minnetonka Country Club have been involved
in boundary line disputes with various property owners surrounding the golf course. In an
effort to resolve some of the disputes, the Country Club proposes to convey (according to
their survey) 16 feet of their property to owners of lots abutting the west side of the golf
course (see Site Location map - Exhibit A, attached).
Since Shorewood' s Subdivision Ordinance requires formal platting for subdiviisons
involving more than three parcels, the applicant has requested a variance which would
allow the division and combinations to be processed by a simple subdivision (metes and
bounds) procedure.
In addition to the 16 foot conveyance, the Country Club proposes to convey 45 feet of their
westernmost parcel to the owner (peterson) of the lot to the south of it. In turn, a thirty
foot piece of Peterson's property will be conveyed to the property owner (Schuelke) to the
south. The divisions and combinations are shown in larger detail on Exhibit B.
All of the parcels in question are zoned R-IA, Single-Family Residential.

ANAL YSIS/RECOMMENDATION
While the applicant's proposal is complicated from the standpoint of cooperation between
property owners, it is relatively simple from the City's perspective. It is simply a shift of
the property boundaries to a location agreed upon by the property owners.
Since the residentia1lots are being increased in size, there is no problem with regard to
existing building setbacks.
It is recommended that the applicant's request be approved as submitted.

ARD~NDUM
Description and/or Reason for Request:
The applicants desire to convey certain parts-of their property
to abutting property owners, as more specifically described on
Exhibits RAR & RBR attached hereto. The purpose of the
conveyances is to resolve existing boundary questions between
applicants and other parties described on the attached
exhibits. The Grantees of the conveyances will combine the
acquired property with the property they currently own. (See
Exhibit RAR attached hereto.)
Shorewood OrdinanceSection1202.02,Subd. 19 does not allow
this procedure because the applicants will be dividing their
parcels into two or more lots or parcels for the purpose of
transfer of ownership and the conveyances will not fall within
the exception contained in said subdivision. There are going to
be five separate conveyances, four from applicant Country Club
to the various owners described on Exhibit DB- and one from
applicant Peterson to one of the parties described on Exhibit
-B". A variance is therefore requested pursuant to Shorewood
Ordinance Section 1202.09, Subd. 1.
The above conveyances will take place simultaneously and will
resolve questions with respect to only two boundary lines
although there are five parties involved in the Resolution.
It is very difficult from a practical standpoint to bring five
separate proceedings to accomplish a goal that can be
accomplished in one proceeding. Requiring all parties to give
notice, orchestrate schedules and pay separate fees for separate
hearings would create unnecessary hardship to the applicants.
No individual hearing would determine the answers to questions
that will arise and there would be much unnecessary delay and
expense in cross-referencing various hearings.
The relief prayed for in applicants' request meets the purpose
and intent of the Shorewood Comprehensive Plan and applicable
ordinances. The public health, safety and general welfare will
be secured and substantial justice done if the variance request,
praying for varying the strict requirements of Section 1202.02,
Subd. 19 is granted.

Mr. Brad Nielsen
c/o city of Shorewood
Shorewood, MN 55331
Dear Brad:
The City council requested that I remove a 1956 Ford pick-up from
my property by March 13, 1991. The truck is inoperable and
unlicensed and is situated on the rear of my property approximately
200 feet from Teal Circle. As you may recall, I appeared before
the council on this matter in February and asked that I have until
May 1 to complete the removal. The council granted me until March
13.
I am aSking for a continuance to remove because (1) the snow and
ice conditions on my property make in impractical and dangerous to
tow the truck to the front, and (2) because the city of Shorewood's
snow plows have consistently plowed the snow from Teal Circle into
my front yard, creating quite a snowbank. I'd appreciate it Brad
if you would make a personal inspection of the premises to
substantiate my claim.
I want to reassure you and the council that I do not in any way
dispute the council's request to remove and have every good
intention of doing so. However, I'd like to be able to do it when
it is realistic, and not at this time when it is dangerous and
could cost hundreds of dollars in damage to my yard and trees.
Please call me at 474-5726 and I'd be happy to talk further. Thank
you, Brad 00
Sincerely,
~~

Dear Mayor Brancel and Council:
Please refer to my letter of January 15, which is attached.
I would like to stress two strong reasons to my prior letter
as to why a street light is needed at the corner of Birch Bluff
and Third street.
1) Three homes share a driveway that enters Birch Bluff from
the South at Third. They are Mitchell, Thompson and Newberg.
There are two homes that enter the same intersection from
the South. They are Soner and Russell. I am sure you will
agree that this makes a lot of driveway entry and egress
concentrated right at Third and Birch Bluff.
2) Most of Birch Bluff is an area of high bluff along the lake
shore. The snowmobilers from the Smithtown, Sunnyvale,
Valleywood and Birch Bluff area use Third Street as their
entry and exit point to the lake because it is level to the
lake shore.
We hope your will consider putting the light at Birch Bluff
and Third.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mayor Brancel and Council:
A street light is needed at the corner of Birch Bluff Road and
third street for safety and security.
This is the low point of the bluff. Because it is low it is
exceptionally dark. The area is wooded which blocks out even
more light. A light at the top of the hill would be too far
away to provide adequate light.
This is a semi-rural area but the houses are close together,
and Birch Bluff Road is busy with automobile traffic, walkers,
runners and bikers.
There are several children living in the area. Two children
and numerous cats and dogs have already been hit by cars.
Birch Bluff has no cross traffic in this area and
many cars exceed the speed limit making it more dangerous.
Seventeen area residents think the light is necessary and have
requested it. All want the light and give safety as the prime
reason.
A pole exists at this location and NSP says a light will be
no problem.
We believe a street light at Birch Bluff and Third street is
a well justified, prudent investment of tax moneys.
Sincerely yours,
Mr. and Mrs. Leo C. Meloche

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Brad Nielsen
DATE:
10 December 1990
RE:
Street Light Request - Birch Bluff Road
FILE NO:
405 (Street Lights)
We have received a petition from residents of Birch Bluff Road requesting that the City
install a street light on Birch Bluff Road at the Third Street "fIre lane" (petition attached as
Exhibit A). While Shorewood' s policy for installing street lighting is considered fairly
liberal, the request does not conform to the minimal requirements established by the City. In
the past street lights have not been approved for mid-block locations except where potential
traffIc hazards exist, such as sharp curves, steep grades, etc. Although the Third Street
location may be relatively dark at night, from the standpoint of traffic visibility it is actually
one of the better spots on the road. The road is quite straight in that location and cars have
good sight lines from either the east or west.
There are, however, two locations on Birch Bluff Road which do conform to Shorewood' s
current policy and which may also accomplish the type of neighborhood security sought by
the petitioners. One of the locations is approximately 500 feet east of the requested location.
This is not only the crest of the hill but the road also curves in this location. A light located
here would enhance traffIc safety and actually be more effective in illuminating the
neighborhood than the requested location.
The other location where a street light would be warranted is at the intersection of Birch
Bluff Road and Eureka Road. Here the alignment of the streets leaves something to be
desired. This is considerably east of the requested location, however.
Based on current policy it is recommended that a light be installed on the existing pole at or
immediately east of 25960 Birch Bluff Road (see location map - Exhibit B).

RE:
PUBLIC HEARING FOR YEAR XVII (1991) CDBG FUNDS
As part of the requirements for rece~v~ng funds through Community
Development Block Grants (CDBG), the City must hold a public
hearing on the proposed activities which will be funded under the
program. The City's allocation for Year XVII is $23,362.
Senior Community Services has requested money from our CDBG
allocation again this year, as in years past, to fund the
Southshore Senior Center in the amount of $6,233. This represents
a five percent increase over last years contribution.
The City has used remaining CDBG funds in previous years to fund
grants for rehabilitation of private property. The amount funded
in 1990 was $14,960.
It is recommended that the City Council set a public hearing on the
use of CDBG funds for Monday, April 8, 1991, at 8:00 p.m., and that
notice of such hearing be placed in the official newspaper, to fund
the following programs in the stated amounts:
Rehabilitation of Private Property
Southshore Senior Centers Operation
Total
$17,129
6.233
$23,362
A copy of the funding request from the Senior Community Services
and the Notice of Public Hearing are attached for your information.

Shorewood, MN. 55331
Dear Mayor Brancel and Council Members:
Senior Community Services is requesting $6,233 for
the 1991-92 fiscal year from the City of Shorewood to
support the Southshore Senior Center. This amount
reflects a 50/0 cost-of-living increase. The City provided
$5,936 for the past year through its share of County-
wide Community Development Block Grant (CDBG Year
XVI) funds. While we are aware that CDBG funds are
tight this year, we hope that the City will be able to
fully fund our request.
In this time of tight budgets, we hope that you will
continue to provide the resources necessary to support
the Southshore Senior Center. If another city, or cities
are not able to provide support at the level requested, an
additional request may be made at a later time.
If you have any questions, or if the City Council would
like to have an informational presentation, please don't
hesitate to let us know. On behalf of the seniors, who
are the real beneficiaries of your funds, many thanks for
your on-going support.
Sincerely,
~~

MEMORANDUM
TOz Shorewood City Council and Staff
FROM: Mark Koegler, Park Planner
DATE: March 6, 1991
SUBJECT: Park Improvement Referendum
BACKGROUND: At the meeting on January 14, 1991, the City Council
requested that the Park Commission gather input on Shorewood' s
attitude pertaining to a possible park referendum in May of 1991.
Since that time, the Commission has held three meetings with a
consistent set of agenda items including a presentation of the
master plans for all Shorewood parks, a review of the proposed
capital improvement program and a discussion of the community's
support for a $1.9 million bond issue. Sue Niccum has assembled a
packet of background material that summarizes the three sessions.
Of the three meetings, the first was oriented toward organized
sports groups, the second focused on residents in the eastern
portion of the community and the third meeting was for residents in
the western half of Shorewood. Despite diverse audiences in terms
of interests, age and geographical location, a common theme emerged
from the meetings. Those in attendance were very complimentary to
the Park Commission and commended them for the time and efforts
expended in completing the master plans and capital improvement
program. They went on to state that they stand behind a strong
community park system. When it came to additional taxes, however,
most of the individuals in attendance expressed serious concerns.
The attitude in general seemed to be that now is not the right time
to seek additional tax levies. They referenced uncertainties
caused by the state budget deficit and the possibility of another
school referendum as major reasons for their concerns.
The three meetings reached a total audience of approximately 60
people out of an invited population of over 4,600. The logical
question that comes to mind is, does 1.3 % of Shorewood ' s total
population represent an accurate sample of public opinion? In this
case, the answer to this question seems to be yes. Although it was
hoped that more people would participate in the meetings, the
sentiment that was offered by those in attendance was both sincere
and consistent. Based upon the discussions that occurred, a
referendum vote in the spring of 1991 would almost certainly be
doomed to failure.

SROREWOOD PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1990
Page two
REFERENDUM DISCUSSION
Park Planner Mark Koegler was present. He said he attended the
Council meeting last night. There are two things the Council wants
the Park Commission to do, finalize the Park capital Improvement
Program, and get organized for a potential referendum.
He said the Park Commission needs to take a look at the Park
Capital Improvement Plan they have come up with; prioritize what
has been done ; individually and collectively, and have it ready to
present to the Council within a month.
Koegler reviewed his memo of October 10, 1990, where he summarized
some preliminary thoughts on the possibility of a park referendum,
a general calendar of events, assignment of responsibility, and a
"referendum organization" chart (see attached).
Andrus (who was not present at the last meeting) said he noticed in
the minutes that there was a question regarding postponing the
referendum for a year or two due to the present economy. He asked
Koegler if he felt the climate was favorable at this time to
attempt a referendum. Koegler said the indicators are bad at this
time - they could get better - they could get worse - his
suggestion was to start now, and decide in 60 days whether or not
to continue. Watten said three members of the Council also
discussed this, but decided to start, as it is a step by step
process and can be stopped at any time. His opinion was that the
outlook of the economy appears moderately positive at this time.
Koegler said he is moving ahead on two things: the city Overall
Trail Plan and finalizing the Neighborhood Park Plans.
/' "
The Commission discussed trails. Lindstrom and Dzurak feel the
trail plan is extremely important, it links parks and neighboring
communities together. Watten and Niccum mentioned the positive
reaction to the completed "Hiking and Biking Trail. Koegler said
an expensive trail system throughout the community could cost as
much as 1.5 million dollars. Watten said the trails will vary in
length, size, and material. wilson said it would be wonderful to
have a "fantasy" trail for 1.5 million dollars, but it is important
to be realistic, and it all depends on what the taxpayers want.
Watt en fel t that volunteer help could be used (i. e. spreading
woodchips), and this would help keep the cost down. Lindstrom said
he thought Minnetonka had 35 miles of trails, they do loops in

SHOREWOOD PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1990
Page three
Dzurak questioned what to~o in presenting the park and trail plans
to the neighbors in the S.E. Area. The Commission discussed
various things that can be done to make it as safe as possible for
children from neighboring areas to reach the park. They discussed
a "sidewalk" from the park to Vine Hill Road, speed reduction in
the area, and a crosswalk at the stop signs. An overpass was also
discussed. Koegler said children use the path of Itleast
resistance" and it is very doubtful that they would even use an
overpass, overpasses are not aesthetically pleasing, and they are
very costly. Safety is an issue the Commission will work on, and
they will also ask the neighborhood for input regarding safety.
Koegler said it is important to form neighborhood groups and meet
with them to present the initial ideas. The idea of using the
newsletter to present another questionnaire was also discussed.
Dzurak said the questionnaire for Silverwood Park worked well.
The Commission feels it is important to present the costs to the
taxpayers. Dzurak asked if it could be figured per $1000 of
evaluation. Watten feels the cost has to be broken down for the
individual, as well as the time period...20 years? 30 years?
The Commission discussed the property the City owns on Enchanted (
Island. There are 3 pieces known as Park 1, Park 2, and Park 3.
They will look into this. Shady Island has a large piece of
property in the center, but this property is owned by the Shady
Island Association.
r
The Commission discussed contacting various homeowners associations
(i.e. Christmas Lake, Amesbury, Boulder Bridge, Covington Vine
Ridge, Waterford).
Koegler will return with more detailed information.

--TRAILS
Zdrazil said the Commission should consider and decide whether they
want blacktop or woodchips on the trails in the parks. He said the
City of Minnetonka has gone to all blacktop. Chips have to be
replaced every year. Minnetonka has said Shorewood can have all
their woodchips. It was estimated that with blacktop approximately
$6 a square yard, and 8 I trail would cost $6 a lineal foot.
Someone mentioned bike trails along the roads. Don said it was
like comparing apples and oranges to try to compare the two.

master plans.
Koegler said he wanted to make it clear to the Commission that
these master plans are concept plans, and not to scale, so they
should not be used per scale.

Laberee said his major concern was safety.
Lindstrom and Wilson expressed concern over horse back riding.
The Commission discussed horseback riding and snowmobiling, stating
that they are interim uses. They discussed maintaining them as
long as they are feasible uses.
Koegler, in answer to a question, said a bike trail is usually an
8' bituminous path, but can be concrete in a residential
neighborhood.
The Commission asked Niccum to check with the cities of victoria
and Chanhassen to see if they allow horses/snowmobiles.
.'
The Commission discussed the types of trails: Regional,
Walkways/Bikeways, and Pedestrian. They asked Koegler - what is
the best way of putting in bikeways along roadways? He said the
most economical way is to put them in along with major road
repairs. He said it is hard to figure the cost on these because
there are so many factors to consider (i.e. .acquiring easements).
He said a feasibility 'study should be done for this type of path.
Koegler said the City of Excelsior is also working on trails, and
are at approximately the same stage as Shorewood. They will keep
in touch and work together.

The City of Chanhassen is working on a trail that could cross "

Koegler will also check with the City of Minnetonka>to see what
their plans are in the Vine Hill Road/Covington Road vicinity."
The Commission mentioned the area between Country Kitchen and the
Shorewood Shopping Center, saying they see quiteca bit of activity
along the highway, and it is dangerous. .
The Old Market Road Intersection area was discussed, and whether it
would ever be bridged across Highway 7. It was felt that perhaps
the wayside rests could be incorporated into the trail system.
The Commission also discussed the proposed trail from Silverwood
Park to Highway 7, and other possibilities in this area.
The Commission felt that a bicycle/walking trail was definately
needed along Smithtown Road/County Road 19 some time in the future
for safety purposes.
The Commission also reviewed a trail plan presented and explained
by Koegler. Niccum was asked to get a plan of "Collector streets".
MASTER PARK PLANS
(
The Commission discussed neighborhood input, including how and
where to hold meetings, and how to present written information.
It was felt that the input should be a matter of record.
They also reviewed and discussed the Finance Director's report.
They are concerned over how much of an extra tax load residents are
willing ~o bear. They will have figures available for the
residents.
They are still planning on Spring, April, for the referendum.
The Commission reviewed the master plans:
Shady Hills Park
There is no master plan for this park, however, the Commission
would like to know if the drainage project currently being
considered in the Shady Hills area will have any affect on the
park. They also discussed whether it would be possible to divide
it into 2 buildable lots. They need drainage information on this
area.

The Commission discussed the trail system/park completion cost.
The trail system could cost up to an additional $1,500,000. The
Commission discussed it at length and decided to only do the parks.
The total amount for parks shown in the PCIP is $1,640,000. The
Commission felt there had to be a "Contingency Fund" included for
unforeseen items.
Koegler asked the Commission to make a decision this evening so the
information can be presented to the Council on Monday, January 14.
The Commission requested that Finance Director Rolek present
figures to the Council for houses in the following ranges, at 10
year and 15 year ranges, so they have a better picture of costs:

REFERENDUM - "NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATIONAL MEETING" FOR ATHLETIC
ORGANIZATIONS
Park Planner Mark Koegler explained that the Shorewood Park
Commission has been working very hard on a Park Capital Improvement
Plan for the Parks for six months, or longer. If the City tried to
make these improvements using Park Dedication Fees, it would take
20-30 years, or forever. What the Commission is asking for is
input. How does this capi tal improvement plan meet the City's
current and future needs? The City want's input from the residents
of Shorewood. Koegler explained that when the Commission started
working on the Park Capital Improvement Plan, and started
considering a Park Referendum, There wasn't any talk of recession -
or cutting state Aid - or a war going on. He explained that the
Park Commission and the Council are not taking this lightly, that
is why they are seeking community input. Koegler then reviewed the
PCIP, master plans, and the property tax impact.
Mike Ellis, a Shorewood resident and President of the Shorewood {
Snowmobile Club, said he and his wife don't have any children to ~
use the parks, but he feels recreation is good for life in general.

r
He said he pays high taxes now, but he feels the increase would be
minimal, that it would be more expensive.to do the improvements
piecemeal, and would probably cost much more to do the work in the
future. He said he felt that the war was pulling the country out
of a recession, not putting the country.into.one.

A resident asked if the parks were for all ages. Koegler said yes,
there are both active and passive areas.
Another resident felt that the residents with children would want
to see the parks improved for their use.
Mike Anderson, a nonresident but President of the Tonka United
Soccer Association, said that their Association is growing by leaps
and bounds, last year they had 820 kids in their program and 25-35%
were from Shorewood. He handed out an inventory of available
fields throughout the cities to show the need for additional
fields.

Ellis said he felt the two most valuable assets as a tax base are
a good school system and a good park system.
SHOREWOOD PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1991 - Page four
Jim Latterner, a Shorewood resident and a member of the Tonka Men's
Club, expressed concern over the maintenance cost of the
improvements, say 10 years down the road. Public Works Director
Zdrazil agreed there will be more maintenance, and the City will
have to plan for it.
.'
The organizations discussed the fact that although people from
other cities use Shorewood parks, Shorewood people also use parks
in other cities.
~
Bill KUllberg, nonresident and president of the State Snowmobile
Association discussed alternative funding. He said the polaris
Snowmobile Company offers a yearly grant of $1000 that can be used
for park purposes, and that it doesn't have to be used in
connection with snowmobile trails. He also mentioned the 1991 DNR
Trail Plan, referred to as the "pizza coalition",which will award
funds ,to states that provide a multiple usage.trail
The Athletic organizations present
proposed improvements adequate for their needs,
of the Soccer Association, who felt that with the

they are experiencing, more fields will be needed in the future.
commissioner Lindstrom suggested that the Soccer Association look ~
into possible future purchase of part of the Wagner property for .
this purpose.
Public Works Director Zdrazil asked the Athletic Associations
present to keep in mind that fields do need rest and upkeep time.
Although there were several Athletic Organizations represented at
the meeting, only about half of them were residents of Shorewood.
When asked two questions, if they would vote for the referendum,
and if they thought their neighborhood would vote for it, the
possibility of them voting for it was about even, but the majority
did not feel their neighborhoods would approve it. You have to
keep in mind that a very small majority was represented here, the
next two meetings will present more of a total picture.
The Athletic organizations present did offer to aid the City in any
way possible if they decide to continue with the referendum.

TOESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1991 7:00 P.M.
PARK REFERENDUKDISCOSSION - EAST SHOREWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
Chairman Andrus explained why the Park Commission is considering a
referendum. He said two years ago the Park Commission did an
analysis of park dedication fees. Figuring all the possible
dedication fees that could be collected up to the year 2005, there
would be enough money to do around 25% of the work.
Andrus told the residents present that the Park commission would
welcome their comments, good or bad, regarding the referendum and
the park plans. He asked them, if they don't like something, to
tell the Commission what they don't like, and why. He then turned
the meeting over to Park Planner Koegler.
Koegler reviewed park plans for Manor, sil verwood, and Freeman
Park. He also reviewed the Park Capital Improvement Plan. He
explained that the Commission had spent years finalizing the PCIP,
but did not have the ability to finance it. He said the Commission (
has faith in their plan, that's why there is only a 10% contingency
fund included, it is usually 15%. He also explained that the City
-10 -

is still looking at small grants, but these would only contribute
a small amount of the total.

Koegler also explained that, if the referendum passed, it would
still take 2-3 construction seasons to complete all the work.
Comments and concerns
What about user fees for the facilities?
What about future maintenance?
The athletic organizations, whose Shorewood children use the
facilities, say the demand for fields outstrips the supply.
The Tonka United Soccer Assn. sent a letter to the parents
stating they are still 100 acres short of field space.
What will happen when the Governor make significant changes in
the budget?
What about older people on fixed incomes?
What about the expense for the water treatment plant?
Everyone present felt the Park Commission had done an
excellent job on the park plans.
It would be cheaper to do it all at once instead of trying to
do it "piecemeal".
Bids would probably be a lot cheaper right now.
"wait until I get my tax statement".
Could you wait 3-4 months'to see how the economy is, and try
then? This seems like bad timing, although none of this was
going on when it was started.
Education and parks are the two most important things
Children need the parks, it keeps them from getting into
trouble and gives them something to do.
We don't have any children, but I would be glad to pay taxes
for parks for them to play in.
The park plans are nice because they are for acti ve and
passive, old and young.
What about the trails? Are they included in this?

Park Planner Koegler explained that trails along streets were not

There were 15 residents present at the meeting. Of these 15, 9

Badger Park Warming HOUSe Sill Repair - Proje<:t No. 90-1A
: OSM Comm. No. 4590.13
The Badger Park wanning house was built approximately 10 to 11 years ago and has been
experiencing moisture problems over the last couple of years. Runoff from the parking lot
and other moisture is entering the building and creating a problem on the inside. The
carpet on the inside of the building has been ripped out due to rot and smell from water
damage. In addition, the water has caused a problem with rotting of the lower portion of
the building wall itself.
The moistur~ problem is caused primarily by improper drainage of the parking lot and the
wicking action by the wood walls. In September of last year, the City Council recommended
that OSM look into the problem and come up with a recommended solution. The two
options we came up with at that time were; 1) to regrade the parking lot to improve the
drainage and get the water away from the building. OUf estimate of the construction cost
for this option was $13,200. 2) construction of a masonry base to the existing building. This
COIlstruction would consist of jacking the building up, cutting off the lower two to three feet
of the building, pouring a concrete sill, and setting the building back onto the concrete. This
option was e~timated to cost $8,500. Both of these options include the replacement of the
sidewalk around the building.
In subseque~ conversations with Don Zdrazil, it was suggested that the interior wood panel
removal and reinstallation would be done with city maintenance staff for a reduced overall
cost of the project. On November 27, 1990, the Shorewood Park Commission recommended
taking bids on the sidewalk replacement and sill repair over the winter months with actual
construction 'work to be done in the spring of 1991 and prior to June 1, 1991. We
subsequently received an informal bid of $5,200 from Studer Masonry at 604 Glencoe Road,
Excelsior but it is uncertain whether or not this bid would remain in effect until spring
construction.
At this time, we are asking the City Council to allow us to Check for further bids and to
order the construction should the bids come in at or below the $5,200 level previously
obtained.

requested by the City.

not submitted the necessary paperwork.
Mr. Miller did not attend the Planning Commission meeting.
Schultz moved. Leslie seconded. to recommend the City Council deny the
Fence Height Variance for William Miller.
Motion carried - 6/0 on a roll call vote.
Commissioner Schultz said Miller could have built the fence without a
variance and therefore his request would probably never have been
approved.
Commissioner Leslie also stated that the Planning Commission had just
reviewed the Fence Ordinance and she would not have approved this
variance.
Nielsen said the fence was built without a permit and he is not
sympathetic with people who do that.
Schultz agreed with him.
Commissioner Rosenberger also said he drove by the property and said
there is plenty of room to move the fence.

the economy is too uncertain to take a risk at this time. They
still feel that a referendum is the best solution.
