Monday, 28 April, 2008
6:00 PM -;- City Council Work Session
Agenda Item #3A: Enclosed is the Verified Claims List for Council approval.
Agenda Item #3B: One additional Tree Trimmer has applied for a license and two Lawn
Fertilizer cOl;npanies have applied for the Commercial Lawn Fertilizer License. All
license materials have been received at the City; therefore a license has been issued to the
applicants.
Agenda Item #3C: Th.e ~ual Wells Fargo Half-Marathon is scheduled for Sunday, May 4,
2008. The marathon route will be the same as past years. The race begins at 8 a.m., and

informed of the race. Council motion is to allow the marathon to traverse the City on
Sunday, May 4,2008.
Agenda Item #3D: The City jointly operates Crescent Beach with the City of Tonka Bay.
Expenses for lifeguard services are shared by the cities. Minnetonka Community
Education (MCE) has provided these services in the past, and has submitted a proposal
for the summer of2008. The beach will be staffed from J;une 7 - August 17, seven days
per week. One lifeguard will beondutifrom 12:00 noon to 6:00 p~m. The City of
Shorewood's fee for services for 2008 would be $3,701.70. This is slightly higher than
the 2007 fee of$3,482. Sufficient funding is included in the 2008 Park Operating budget
to meet the proposed fee. Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
Agenda Item #3E: Staff is recommending award of the contract to Waste Technologies, Inc.,

Executive Summary -City Council Meeting of 28 April, 2008
Page 2 of3
Agenda Item #3G: The ordinances approved during the calendar year are typically sent on an
annual basis to American Legal Publishing for codification. Each year, an estimated
amount of funds are budgeted for this work. For 2008, a total of$I,750 has been
budgeted. Staff has received an estimate in the range of $2300-$2800 from American
Legal Publishing for this year's Supplement. Recommended council action is to
authorize American Legal Publishing to proceed with the City Code Book Supplement
No.3 edits, and authorize the use of funds from the General Fund to cover costs in excess
of the $1,750 budgeted for 2008.
Agenda Item #5A: Linda Murrell, Director of the South Lake Excelsior Chamber of
Commerce, will be present this evening to request funding for the annual Lake Minnetonka
4th of July celebration. For the past few years, the City Council has approved $2,200 for
this event. This amounUs available in the 2008 Budget.
Agenda Item #8A: The Planning Commission has recommended approval of a conditional
use permit for the renovation and expansion of the Shorewood City Hall building. Their
recommendation includes a condition that a landscape plan be developed for the west
side (front) and north side of the building. A draft resolution has been prepared for the
Council's consideration.
Agenda Item #8B: Representatives for the Minnetonka School District have requested a
conditional use permit to add on to the Minnewashta Elementary School at 26350
Smithtown Road. A first phase adds new administrative offices, remodels existing
offices into classrooms (2), and adds two more classrooms on the southwest comer of the
building. A second phase would add a number of additional classrooms and a new
gymnasium on the northwest comer of the building. This application is for Phase I only.
From the start, staff indicated to school reps that the primary issues were parking,
parking, drainage and parking. After two meetings, the.Planning Commission
recommended approval of the Phase I improvements, subject to recommendations
included in the Planning Director's and City Engineer's staff reports. The most
significant condition of approval is that the District must submit a parking management
plan for special event parking. This plan will be monitored for one year, after which it
will be used to evaluate a conditional use permit for the second phase. Since the District
is anxious to begin constructions so that Phase I will be done before school starts, staff
has prepared a resolution stipulating that the parking management plan will beim;luded
in a development contract between the District and the City. Ifit is not already, it should
be made very clear to the School District that the future of Phase II will rely on the
effectiveness of the parking management plan and its implementation.
Agenda Item #9A: Staff has reported the progress (sluggish as it may be) ofa zoning
enforcement action involving Matt Phillippi's property at 21155 Minnetonka Boulevard.
Mr. Phillippi was cited for hauling a large shipping container onto the rear of his
property. City staff has made four trips to the Ridgedale courthouse relative to this case,
and a trial date has yet to be determined. Meanwhile, in what appears to be an after-the-
fact appeal of the zoning violation notice, Mr. Phillippi has requested to appear before the
City Council on Monday night to air a number of grievances relative to his property.

2. REVIEW COMPREHENSIV N IS
Mayor Lizee welcomed the Plan 'ers. She then asked Director Nielsen to lead the
discussion on Comprehensive P
process of updating its Comprehensive Plan (the Plan) which
had been prepared approximately rs ago. He explained the issues sections of the Plan identified
what items should be addressed in t e Plan. He stated at its March 18, 2008, meeting the Planning
Commission reviewed a document prepared by the Planning Department which identified updates Staff
recommended to the issues sections of the Plan. The updates included removing issues that had been
resolved and adding new issues that would be addressed in the Plan. Some of the new issues included
mandated items. The Commission recommended an additional five issues it thought should also be
addressed in the Plan.
Nielsen reviewed the Commission's recommendations which were as follows.
1. Control of "McMansions" otherwise known as very large homes on relatively small lots.
(Land Use)
There was a provision adopted in the Zoning Code which put a limit on the size a lot
created by combining small lots could be. There were also hardcover requirements and
building height restrictions. There would be additional discussion about what, if
anything, could further be done to restrict the building of very large homes on small lots.

2. The future use/development of the Minnetonka Country Club property in the event it
ceased to exist as a golf course. (Land Use)
Staff had been in discussions with the current property owner over the last few years and
had suggested things such as tax credits and conservation easements to the owner as an
attempt to keep the property as a golf course. The owner had conveyed that he did not
want to make any decisions about the future of his property at this time. The value of the
property would be worth substantially less as a golf course than it would be as a
development.
3. The future use/development for the Howard's Point Marina property and its surrounding
area. (Land Use)
There continued to be a great deal of discussion among the owners of the Marina
property (of which there were 26 at one time) about the possible sale of the marina
property. Developers had approached the City with very grandiose plans for
redevelopment of the area.

The following is a summary of comments made regarding the issue of "McMansions".
~ The cities of Edina, Greenwood and Minnetonka had been trying to address the issue for
some time.
~ The issue of "McMansions" existed throughout the United States.
~ There was some agreement that the City did not have much of an issue with
"McMansion" construction, but the issue should be addressed in the Comp Plan.
~ There was question as to whether it was worth the time to have stricter controls to
minimize the construction of "McMansions".
~ There was a provision adopted in the Zoning Code which put a limit on the size a lot
created by combining small lots could be in the Minnetonka Manor area. The topic of
blocking the view and sunlight was discussed at the time that provision was put in place.
~ It could be appropriate to consider the floor-ratio to land-area approach to controlling
house sizes in the future.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD JOINT CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
April 14, 2008
Page 3 of5
~ Independent of the size of the lot, there appeared to be a commonality of building
structures near the maximum size allowed on the lots; the structures filled a large portion
of the lots.
~ If it was the City's position not to control the construction of "McMansions" then that
position should be stated in the Plan.
~ McMansions could be built through an addition process as well as by new construction.
~ There was a suggestion that areas with smaller lots should be the focus for control.
~ There was a suggestion to just maintain awareness of the issue at this time but not try
and further control "McMansion" construction.
~ The "McMansion" issue may just be a subjective style issue.
~ It was prudent to preserve property owners' rights.
~ The issue may actually be one of affordable housing rather than style. It would be a
disservice to the community to not provide a variety of housing types.
~ There was some thought that the construction of "McMansions" on lake shore property
should be controlled because of view.
~ There was some agreement that there should be further discussion as part of the Comp
Plan revisions to determine if there should be y further restrictions put in place to
control "McMansion" construction and, if here those restrictions should be in
effect.
~ The property was currently zon e Family Residential with a minimal lot
size of 40,000 square feet.
~ If it were to cease to b re would be transportation and utility issues.
~ The property could ere an undeveloped land if it ceased being a golf
course.
~ The question hether the City should continue to secure a way to keep
the property as e for a longer period oftime.
~ The desire to have utive 9-hole golf course on the property with the remainder of
the property develop, as a dense residential development could be stated in the Plan.
The intent would be for the 9-hole golf course to remain on the location for many years
to come. This option would require the property be approved for development as a
Planned Unit Development at the time of development.
~ Although it would be interesting to hear public feedback on how the property should be
developed in the future, it was still private property so including a question about it in
the City survey may not be appropriate.
~ There was consensus that the Plan be more general with regards to the future of the
property. For example, the Plan could state it was the City's desire to have more open
space and clusters of homes.
he future use of the Minnetonka

Country Club property.
The following is a summary of comments made regarding the .issue of the future use of the Howard's
Point Marina property and surrounding area.
~ The Marina property was currently private property, but there was an expectation that it
would someday be sold.
~ It the property stayed as currently zoned, the property may be worth more as a marina.

~ There was not a great deal of development potential; technically there were no lakeshore
lots unless the road was moved.
~ There was consensus that the property should be addressed in the Plan to allow the City
to respond to potential developers.
The following is a summary of comments made regarding wildlife.
~ There was question as to whose issue this was - the Planning Commission's or the
Council's. There was consensus it was an issue for both. The Plan addressed other
natural resources. The Planning Commission addressed the creation of wetland areas and
open spaces which were habitat for wildlife.
~ There was consensus that the Plan should have a broad statement that wildlife would be
managed.
~ There was consensus that the deer management program would occur again this year.
The following is a summary of comments made regarding invasive vegetation.
~ The construction of a e intersection from Tonka Bay to the LRT Trail
(this was a trail . side of County Road 19 should be addressed. The
concept plan a 19 corridor study would be incorporated via reference.
~ It was noted't of Orono, Shorewood and Tonka Bay had applied for and
received a grant D ibility study regarding a trail that would go from the County
Road 19 intersection i the Dakota Rail corridor just north of County Road 15. Hennepin
County would lead the study which was in its conceptual stage.
~ The Plan should address how the City wanted to have the area around the County Road
19 and Smithtown Road intersection redeveloped. There was consensus to keep
industrial use out of the area.
~ There was a suggestion that the City should be actively considered acquiring properties
that could be used for water treatment in the future; it was inevitable that the City would
have to do more treatment of water in the future.
~ The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources was passively looking for additional
public access to Lake Minnetonka. There was discussion about not having public access

4. MATTERS FROM THE FLOO
John Garfunkel, 5665 Grant Lorenz was present this evening to request Council to
consider returning to an at-Iarge,J.. . He explained a little more than three years ago he
presented a letter signed by thO I n pas t Councilmembers and/or commissioners requesting the
Council to reconsider the nece . is om of the ward system of representation. At that time it
quickly became clear that it was n ppropriate time to consider that request. He stated he thought
now would be an appropriate time to onsider going back to the at-large election system. He explained
that City had been through two election cycles under the ward system; therefore, the voters would be able
to better articulate their perspectives on the ward system of representation. Also, three of the four
councilmember seats impacted by the ward system would be on the election ballet this year. He stated
although he understood there were many issues Council had to address, the methods and rules used to
elect representatives in a democratic society was one of the most important issues. He requested Council
provide a forum to take public comment on which method of representation the voters would prefer (a
ward system or an at-large system for electing representatives) and why. He stated if Council agreed the
issue should be addressed, he recommended public input be heard and decision be made before the filing
for elections was opened for 2008.
In response to a comment from Councilmember Turgeon, Mayor Lizee explained that the proposed City-
wide resident survey may contain a question about this matter. Mr. Garfunkel stated from his perspective
a public forum would be a better approach to receiving public comment. Lizee stated that approach could
be considered.

5. REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS
A. Update regarding City Administrator position
Mayor Lizee suggested this item be continued to another meeting because Sharon Klumpp, with
Springsted Incorporated, was not able to be present.
Acting Administrator Brown stated Councilmembers had received a draft profile for the City
Administrator position in their meeting packet. He said Ms. Klumpp was seeking comment from the
Council on the profile and that could be done via email.
In response to a comment from Councilmember Woodruff, Mayor Lizee explained that although the item
would be continued, the search timetable should not be impacted.

funding for milfoil treatment on Phelps Bay

Mr. Glidewell stated a Lake Vegetat " Management Plan (L VMP) was coordinated and developed by
the LMA and LMCD and approved by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR).
He stated that in response to a 2007 survey, the respondents overwhelmingly stated that EWM had
become a widespread problem. It interfered with most recreational activities, created a shore land cleanup
and maintenance chore, and it diminished ecological health. Respondents also thought curlyleaf
pondweed (CLP) must also be controlled.
Mr. Glidewell stated the proposed program would provide (for the three bays) bay-wide selective
herbicide control of EWM and CLP. Property owners would be restricted from their own localized
treatments if they lived within the treatment area. The proposed treatments would occur in late-April or
early-May; EWM and CLP were the earliest blooming lake vegetation and would be the only two weeds
treated. Mr. Glidewell clarified this was a 5-year program.
Mr. Glidewell stated for the demonstration project, the US Army Corps of Engineers took samples of380
locations in Phelps Bay and tracked the native plants and how bad the EWM and CLP were in the
locations. Those locations would be tracked again in mid- to late-June 2008, and again in late August or
early September.
SHOREWOOD CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES
April 14, 2008

Mr. Glidewell reviewed the estimated costs for the five years of treatments, project management,
administration and permits for Phelps Bay which were: $71,000 in 2008 and 2009; $58,000 in 2010;
$28,000 in 2011; and $20,000 in 2012. The costs were based on bids received and were estimated on the
high side. The 2012 estimated costs were roughly 25 - 30 percent of what the cost would be to harvest
the Bay. For 2008, the MN DNR would provide a grant of $8,000 - $15,000 towards the program for
Phelps Bay and the LMCD would commit $10,000 to the program. The lakeshore property owners were
attempting to secure funds for the remainder of the 2008 cost.
Mr. Glidewell explained the MN DNR required a 50 percent participation rate of lakeshore property
owners in the area; currently more than 80 percent of the owners had agreed to the treatment. Responses
had not yet been received from vacationers or individuals who were gone for the winter. For those that
did not want to be treated, the applicator would not apply herbicide at that GPS location. He commented
the same applicators used in the 2006 demonstration project applied to perform the work in 2008.
Mayor Lizee stated she understood the City was being asked to commit. $6,000 for the treatment of
Phelps Bay in 2008; the City of Mound had agreed to commit $1 000 (provided the other two cities also
committed funds) and the City of Minnetrista had agreed to co $6,000.

The MN DNR D had only committed to funding for 2008. The LMA would
have to try and see ional funding from the organizations for future years.
The MN DNR had b very supportive of this effort. It was interested in determining if
this method of herbi~ide treatment of EWM and CLP would work in other areas of the
State.
The L VMP could potentially be used as a protocol for treating other bays on Lake
Minnetonka.
On April 9, 2008, The LMCD Board agreed to use funds from its Save the Lake Fund to
support the inspection effort.
If the 2008 estimated costs for treatment were exceeded, the LMA would be responsible
for funding the overage. The LMA was very comfortable with the estimates provided.
There were approximately 40 properties on Phelps Bay that were located in Shorewood.
All the Shorewood property owners had agreed to have their lakeshore treated.
There would be an assessment of the treatment late June 2008 and late August or early
September 2008. An assessment report would be provided after the data was analyzed.
The Mound and Minnetrista city councils had requested the LMA prepare a five-year
funding plan and review it with them so they had an understanding of what could be
asked of them.

~ Property owners were only allowed to treat EWM (or other approved vegetation) up to
100 - 120 feet out from the lakeshore; that treatment required a permit. The proposed
program would treat out to a water depth of 15 feet.
Attorney Keane clarified the LMA was the contracting authority for the project. The LMCD had a
contractual relationship with the LMA with regard to its participation. He also clarified the City could set
up a contractual arrangement with the LMA regarding any funding.

Mayor Lizee noted that she had re ved emails that day from the following Shorewood residents
regarding the treatment program: Jim and Jolene Shoop; Mark and MaryAnn Abicht; and John and Barb
Kimball. All of them encouraged the Council to support the LMA's request for funding for the herbicide
treatment.
Jim Salters. 4420 Enchanted Drive, stated for the last ten years he and his neighbors had funded a
harvesting program for a cost of$3,500 - $4,000; he paid a significant portion of the cost. Based on past
observations, harvesting of EWM did not eradicate it and it more likely exacerbated the problem. He
respectfully requested the Council approve the request for funding for the herbicide treatment of EWM
and CLP in Phelps Bay in order to help save Lake Minnetonka. That treatment would not only benefit the
lakeshore property owners it would benefit all who are associated with the Lake. If the treatment could
begin to control EWM and CLP the lake could be saved. If those aquatic invasive species could not be
controlled, the value of the lake shore properties would decline and the City would not be able to tax the
property owners at they rate they are currently being taxed. He then stated from his vantage point the
Lake should be of value to generations to come. He also stated it was important for the Council to take a
leadership position and request the State, Hennepin County, and other agencies to address this issue.

Councilmember Woodruff stated his residence was located on Phelps Bay. Because his property could
benefit from the treatment program, he would recuse himself from voting on the request for funding.
Mayor Lizee stated she respected Woodruff s perspective, but in this situation the funding would either
directly or indirectly benefit all who are associated with the Lake.
Councilmember Bailey stated he would support going forward with the treatment program and funding
for the 2008 effort as an experimental program. He did not foresee the City as the primary driver of a
comprehensive EWM management program for the Lake. If the program was successful, there would
have to be other funding sources identified for the larger effort.
Mr. Glidewell stated the LMA's nine-year plan stated that after the initial first few years of herbicide
treatment four times more acreage could be treated with the herbicide method than with the harvesting
method for EWM control for the same amount of money. He commented that 2 - 4 weeks after EWM
was harvested it returned.
Councilmember Bailey stated the effort to control aquatic species should be a MN DNR effort.

proven effective in a small demons on project. The project was an opportunity to further prove that
aquatic invasive species was a major problem and there were technologies that could help mitigate the
problem. The LMA was asking for a small commitment from the City to fund the project.
Rich Siakel. 25680 Birch Bluff Road, stated as a Shorewood resident he was in favor of the City
contributing funds to this treatment effort. He clarified that he would not receive direct benefit from the
effort. He stated it was clearly known that EWM harvesting had not been effective for the nineteen years
it was done. When milfoil was cut only a few feet down and swimmers were not aware of it, serious
accidents could occur if swimmers get caught in the milfoil. He stated it was prudent to further test the
viability of controlling milfoil with selective herbicides.
In response to a question fromCouncilmember Turgeon, Mayor Lizee explained that the breakdown of
$24,000 requested from the cities of Minnetrista, Mound and Shorewood for the treatment of Phelps Bay
was determined by the amounts of lake shore footage. She noted that the $24,000 requested was
significantly less than the amount needed to do the treatment.
Councilmember Bailey stated he did not want to create an open ended commitment for the City to solve
this issue. He then stated he would support funding for the 2008 treatment only on an experimental basis;

the City would not be obligated to future funding. He shared Councilmember Turgeon's concern about
the City's potential obligation to support treatment of the other lakes in the City. He also stated it was
important that funding from other agencies be secured.
Wellens moved, Bailey seconded, authorizing a contractual arrangement with the Lake
Minnetonka Association for the herbicide treatment of Eurasian Watermilfoil and Curlyleaf
Pondweed in Phelps Bay in 2008 for an amount not to exceed $6,000. Motion passed 3/1/1 with
Turgeon dissenting and Woodruff recusing.

Ruoff then explained the second public hearing was for a setback variance for Joel Blatz. Mr. Blatz had
requested a setback variance to construct an enclosed 5 foot by 6 foot entry to his home. The entry would
be constructed at the front of the house, over part of an area currently covered by concrete slab and under
an existing roof overhang, both of which extended across the entire front of the house. Because the house
was located only 17 feet from the street right-of-way, a 33-foot variance would be necessary to
accommodate the project. The Staff report stated the subject property and the location of the existing
house had an interesting and even somewhat mysterious history. The house was built in 1967, before the
road serving the plat was constructed. There was nothing in the City records that indicated why the house
was allowed to be built 17 feet from the right-of-way. He related Director Nielsen had stated it was clear
that this situation was not brought on by the applicant, which was one of the things considered when
evaluating variance requests. Also, the request was not considered to be economic in nature. He stated the
City's Zoning Code stated that where a structure was nonconforming because it was too close to one lot
line, the City could require that the discrepancy be made up on the opposite side of the property.

Therefore, Staff recommended that as a condition of approval the rear yard setback be increased to 83
feet from its current setback of 50 feet. A motion was passed 3/1 recommending approval of the setback
variance subject to the increase in the rear yard setback.
Ruoff went on to explain the third public hearing was for a request from the owners of Shorewood
Liquor, 23670 Highway 7, to amend the City Code regarding off-sale liquor store hours of operation. The
Commission unanimously recommended approval of an ordinance amending Chapter 401 of the
Shorewood City Code Relating to Liquor to reference the hours of the State Statute.

A. Off-Sale Liquor Store Hours of Operation
Director Nielsen stated the City had received a request from the owners of Shorewood Liquor, 23670
Highway 7, to change the City's Monday - Thursday hours of operation for off-sale liquor. Council
discussed this request at its March 10, 2008, meeting at which time it suggested the Planning
Commission hold a public hearing to take public comment on the change. The Commission held a public
on April 1, 2008. The State Statute was changed approximately two years ago to prohibit the sale of
intoxicating liquor by an off-sale licensee before 8:00 A.M. or after 10:00 P.M. Monday through
SHOREWOOD CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES

Thursday; prior to that State Statute prohibited the sale of intoxicating liquor by an off-sale licensee
before 8:00 A.M. or after 8:00 P.M. Monday through Thursday and the City Code reflected these hours.
The cities of Excelsior, Minnetonka, and Tonka Bay, all conformed to the new State Statute.
Nielsen stated the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of an ordinance amending
Chapter 40 I of the Shorewood City Code Relating to Liquor to reference the hours of the State Statute.
He clarified that the establishments would not have to stay open later.
Turgeon moved, Woodruff seconded, Approving ORDINANCE NO. 448. "An Ordinance
Amending Chapter 401 of the Shorewood City Code Relating to Liquor to Reference the Hours of

B. Discussion on City Survey
Acting Administrator Brown stated he had distributed to Council a very preliminary draft of questions
that that had been compiled from feedback received from Councilmembers and the Park Commission.
The Planning Commission planned to consider what questions i wanted to recommend for inclusion in
the survey at one of its upcoming meetings. He noted he 'ot performed any censorship of the
questions, nor had he spent any effort on the format of the ns. Brown suggested Council discuss
the survey questions at an upcoming work session.

Councilmember Turgeon stated she had not submitted any comments to Acting Administrator Brown
about the survey. She suggested some of the Park related questions include cost and that the survey ask
the respondents if they thought spending funds on a particular item would be the most appropriate use of
those funds.
Councilmember Woodruff stated he thought the draft survey contained some really good questions, but
he thought there were too many questions. He suggested ambiguity in the questions should be minimized
as should leading questions. The answers to questions should lead to actionable results. He recommended
a professional be hired to help prepare the questionnaire. The mechanism for delivering the questionnaire
would be a different discussion.
Councilmember Bailey questioned what the purpose of the City survey was. Councilmember Woodruff
stated to assess how the residents perceived the City was doing. Bailey stated there should be a
predetermined purpose for a survey. He then stated he could !magine sending out multiple targeted
surveys. He commented that one-half of the draft survey questions were Park related; he could imagine

conducting one survey specifically for park related items. He stated he agreed with having a professional
help prepare the survey.
Councilmember Woodruff stated Bailey presented some very good points that should be discussed in a
work session. He commented the City had not been asked to conduct a survey.
C. Discussion regarding settlement matter, 5795 Country Club Road
Acting Administrator Brown stated at its March 24, 2008 meeting, Council directed Attorney Keane to
research the cost to perfect and record the confession of judgment against Pastor Linus Nyambu.
Attorney Keane explained the perfection and filing of confession of judgment would enter the judgment
with the Hennepin County Clerk of Court, resulting in a judgment of record against Pastor Nyambu. The
recordation required a preparation of an affidavit to be filed with the district court together with a filing
fee of $55. He stated in his continued effort to wrap this matter up without additional burden to the City,
he would prepare the affidavit and filing at only the expense of the filing fee to the City.

he defaulted on paying the settlement the City could perfect and record the judgment without anyone
having to go to court.
Motion passed 4/1 with Lizee dissenting.
D. Discussion regarding the use of golf carts on City Streets
Acting Administrator Brown stated at the March 10, 2008, Council meeting Councilmember Woodruff
stated two requests had been received by Councilmembers regarding the use of golf carts on City streets.
At that meeting Staffhad been asked to research that type of use.
Brown explained the operation of golf carts on public roadway was governed under Minnesota State
Statue 169.045 Special Vehicle Use on Roadway. He reviewed the conditions that would have to occur if
SHOREWOOD CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES
April 14, 2008
Page 11 of 16
Council were to consider this use. The use would have to be governed by a local ordinance. Roadways on
which that use was permitted must be designated as such.
Brown stated the meeting packet included sample ordinances from the cities of White Bear Lake,
Princeton, Slayton, and Gaylord; those cities had passed ordinances to allow such use. Brown noted that
State Statute 169.045 made reference to four-wheel all terrain vehicles (ATVs). Council would have to
consider if it would want to allow that use as well.
Brown explained in the ordinances for the above four cities it appeared that the common use was for
individuals with physical challenges or for the elderly. He did not think any of the four ordinances
allowed for the use of ATVs. The State Statute stated authorization to operate a motorized golf-cart was
by individual permit only. Authorized golf carts would have to display a slow-moving emblem and
required to have the appropriate features such as a rear view mirror. He stated from an engineering
standpoint golf cart use may be considered a distraction to some drivers. Slow moving traffic could cause
problems on the narrow roadways in the City.
Councilmember Woodruff clarified that he had received one riHuest, and he thought Councilmember
Turgeon may have received the same request. The request w . 0111 a resident with physical disabilities.

consider.
Councilmember Bailey stated the topic of who could operate the vehicles was not discussed in the Statute
and maybe that should be included.
Brown stated the City's ordinance could be more restrictive than State Statute.
There was consensus to direct the Planning Commission to address this topic and make a
recommendation to Council by the end of June 2008.

E. Discussion regarding E-waste for Spring Clean-up
Acting Administrator Brown stated the City had an opportunity to participate in a joint electronics
recycling effort with Hennepin County in conjunction with the City's Spring Clean-up Program.
Hennepin County would pay for the recycling of the electronics and the City would have to pay for the
cost of transporting the electronics to the recycler. He stated he thought it would require two 40-cubic-
yard containers, although the amount of electronics that would be collected was unknown. He explained
the containers would be placed at Public Works during Spring Clean-up Day. The vendor would be
required to take the electronics to Asset Recovery Corporation located in St. Paul. After Asset Recovery
emptied the containers, the vendor would retrieve their containers. The lowest quote received to-date was
$500 for the container service and transportation. He noted the Spring Clean-Up Program changed in
2007 to discontinue the curb-side collection component; the City had incurred costs for the 2007 drop-off
recycling effort without the inclusion of electronic recycling.
Brown stated the costs for the electronics component could be included in the other costs for Spring
Clean-up or a nominal fee could be charged for the electronics. He commented there were eleven free
electronics drop-off sites being established in cooperation with )Kaste Management. Mayor Lizee stated
residents had been charged a fee to drop off an item such a i t~levision during past Spring Clean-up
efforts. Brown stated in the past a resident would pay $10 drop off a television. He then stated
he anticipated the City would collect more than 500 elebn c 1 e . therefore the City would not have
to charge as much for electronics this year. "

effort to be done as part of the Sp i Clean-up Program and approving the City fund the effort.
Councilmember Bailey suggested the City charge a nominal fee to cover the transportation costs for the
effort. He stated from his vantage point he thought the residents would consider it a real value to only
have to drive a short distance to dispose of their electronics.
Councilmember Woodruff stated he had considered recommending a small fee be charged but he thought
why bother. He then stated he thought there were recycling funds remaining from 2007 that could be
used to fund the effort.
In response to a question from Councilmember Turgeon, Director Burton stated she thought it would be
appropriate for the City to charge a nominal fee.
Without objection from the maker or the seconder of the motion, the motion was amended to
charge a resident a $5.00 fee to drop of any number of electronic devices for recycling. Motion
passed 5/0.

F. Authorize Expenditure of Funds to Plant a Prairie at Two Locations
This item was removed from the consent agenda at Councilmember Turgeon's request.
Councilmember Turgeon stated one of the reasons she had this item removed from the consent agenda
was it appeared that the proposed location of the prairie on State Highway 7 would be in a State right-of-
way. Mayor Lizee stated that item was discussed at the April 8, 2008, Park Commission meeting and she
asked Engineer Landini to elaborate on it. Landini explained the City had submitted a permit application
to the Minnesota Department of Transportation to do work in that right-of-way.
Councilmember Turgeon questioned would be responsible for maintaining that prairies.
Mayor Lizee introduced Joe Pazandak, the City's Building Official.
Mr. Pazandak stated prairies were a hobby of his and they had proven to be less maintenance than caring
for a regular lawn over the years. He explained the Public Works staff would maintain the prairies.
Depending on the number of times the grass on the site would ha had to have been mowed, the prairies
would pay for themselves (if only the cost of the seed and the 'ical application were included) in 6 -
8 years. If the labor savings were included it would be a I - ~~ ayback.
Ah, '

Mr. pazandak explained the proposed prairies woul . ~riousve grasses which would require
little maintenance and would go dormant during the w rrlonths; he had not proposed any forbs or
flowers. The proposed grasses would allow an d gr ip the area to be treated with chemicals.
Staff would invest less labor maintaining the site w d mowing the area. Staff would mow the
area once in the spring and spray the area ith ch kill any undesired growth; that effort would
amount to no more effort then it would e area twice.

Councilmember Woodruff thanked Mr. pazandak for providing the information about prairies. He stated
he had two personal experiences with prairies. Because the public was not educated about prairies, he
had heard comments about how ugly they were and that the grasses should be cut. He suggested the Park
Commission take responsibility for educating the public.
Mr. pazandak stated the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District wanted to use the proposed prairies as a
demonstration model and to educate people on what could be done. He commented prairies were an
acquired taste. The grasses would be greener during the summer months and they would turn yellow or
red in the fall months. He explained there were some grasses that would only grow 6 - 9 inches high;
those would not require mowing.
Councilmember Woodruff suggested signage at the prairie and articles in the ShoReport could be
vehicles for educating the public. Engineer Landini stated Julie Moore was writing an article for the next
publication ofthe ShoReport. Woodruff suggested follow-up articles be published.
Mr. pazandak stated the MCWD was going to put signage up. He then stated that the Public Works staff
would take on the effort; it would not require much of his time.
SHOREWOOD CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES
April 14, 2008
Page 14 of 16
Woodruff moved, Welleus seconded, authorizing the expenditure an amount not to exceed $500
from the Park Fund for the creation of two prairies as specified.
Mayor Lizee stated the City was very fortunate to have access to Mr. pazandak's experience with
prairies. She stated planting prairies would help with storm water management. The prairies would also
be consistent with the City's direction to reduce it carbon footprint.
Lizee went on to state at the Park Commission meeting there was a request for $500 for the purchase of
the seed and spray. She noted Mr. pazandak had volunteered the use of some of his supplies for the
effort. She stated she thought it was important the City assume responsibility for the entire project and
supply all the needed materials and equipment. She noted that some slopes would be difficult to seed and
may have to be hydro-seeded instead at an additional cost; it would likely require an outside firm to
conduct that effort. She suggested Council approve an amount not to exceed $1,000 for this effort; any
funds that were not needed for this effort would be returned to the fund.

ices Agreement
This item was removed from the consent agenda at Councilmember Woodruff s request.
Acting Administrator Brown stated the meeting packet included an Independent Contractor Agreement
from Community Rec. Resources (CRR) for Park and Recreation Coordinator Services. CRR had
provided those services for the past four years; the updated Agreement included some minor
modifications from the one entered into in 2007. The Park Commission had reviewed the agreement at its
April 8, 2008, meeting and the Commission expressed its desire to continue the Agreement for Park and
Recreation Services with CRR.
Brown then stated Staff had informed the Park Commission that some Councilmembers had requested the
City partake in the Request for Proposal process for contract services. He related the Commission was
more than satisfied with the services CRR had provided in the past. He noted that Councilmember
Woodruff had questioned what the hourly rate would be for CRR; it worked out to be $45 per hour. He
also noted that in 2007 CRR was paid a total of$12,150.
SHOREWOOD CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES
April 14, 2008
Page 15 of 16
Councilmember Woodruff recommended the Agreement be modified to include the $45 per hour rate. He
questioned the not to exceed amount of $20,500 specified in the Agreement when the amount paid for
CRR's services in 2007 was just $12,150. He suggested a lesser amount be authorized.
Acting Administrator Brown explained that CRR would be assuming responsibility for coordinating
Lacrosse activities which would require additional CRR time; he estimated it may take 10 - 15 percent
more time.
Councilmember Woodruff suggested the not to exceed amount be changed to reflect 2007 actual expense
plus 20 percent.
In response to a question from Councilmember Bailey, Acting Administrator Brown explained that prior
to coordinating Lacrosse activities the City had spent approximately the same amount for CRR services
in previous years as it did in 2007.
Woodruff suggested the not to exceed amount be changed to $14,000 and ifthere was a valid reason to
exceed that amount authorization for additional funds should be uested.

Award of Contract for Spring Cleanup Services
Spring Cleanup will occur on May 17th, 2008. Services to be provided by a contractor include
providing waste roll-off containers, trucks, transport and proper disposal of general refuse
products. In addition the contractor is to provide five laborers/drivers at the Shorewood Public
Works Facility located at 24200 Smithtown Road.
Staff solicited proposals from the following firms:
. Waste Management
. Allied Waste Systems
. Randy's Sanitation
. TCW Disposal
. Waste Technology, Inc.
. Blackowiak Disposal, Inc.
Waste Technology, Inc. (WTI) was the only firm that submitted a return proposal. Staff
contacted the other firms, and received the response that they were committed for that
particular date in other municipalities.
Staff has committed to re-contacting these firms after spring cleanup to discuss a more
competitive process with these firms. Staff will determine if the lack of participation is due to
changes to the proposal, date of the event, or other factors. Staff will commence with these
discussions to discover how additional proposals can be obtained.
Having stated that, the proposal received from WTI appears to be very (;ompetitive with known
rates and what was charged last year.

Advertisement for Bids for Bituminous Seal coating of Streets for 2008.
As part of the Operating Budget, funds are set aside each year for Bituminous Seal
Coating of Streets. The 2008 budgethas $100,000 earmarked for seal coating and
$200,000 for additional road maintenance.
The additional road maintenance was discussed to be "Slurry Coating" or Polymerized
Asphalt EmulSion, but due to its performance a different approach is recommended.
The Slurry Coat did not perform and photos are attached for your review.
Staff recommends seal coating with an upgraded bituminous.oil and incorporating a mill
& overlay program. The upgraded bituminous oil is in use by the City of Burnsville and
comes highly recommended. Streets chosen for the mill & overlay must have a
foundation capable of supporting the surface and have a PASER rating of 4 or higher.
The mill & overlay project and sealcoat aggregate expenditure will be presented to City
Council on May 12, 2008. The $300,000 budgeted in total for road maintenance is
proposed to be split between mill & overlay and seal coating.
Streets scheduled for 2008 seal coating are shown on the attached map and are:
Smithtown Road, Shorewood Oaks Drive, Oak Leaf Trail, Maple Leaf Circle, Burlwood Court, Park
Lane, Eureka Road, Mann Lane, Seamens Drive, Christopher Road, Club Lane, Star Lane, Star
Circle, Fairway Drive, Nelsine Drive, Wild Rose Lane, Sylvan Lane, Meadowview Road,Sunnyvale
Lane, Valleywood Lane, Valleywood Circle, Maple View Court, Orchard Circle, Lee Circle, Birch
Bluff Road, Boulder Bridge Drive, Boulder Bridge Lane, and Boulder Circle.
This schedule may change due to budgetary constraints.
The Cities of Shorewood, Tonka Bay, and Excelsior are letting a joint seal coating
project. This will allow the cities to take advantage of economies of scale.

RE:
City Code Book Supplement 3
"
The ordinances approved during the calendar year are typically sent on an annual basis to
American Legal Publishing for codification. American Legal codifies those ordinances and
provides the City with 40 paper copies of the supplemental new pages to update our hard-copies
of the Code Book. They also provide a CD copy in MS Word and a CD searchable format.
American Legal hosts the Code Book in a searchable format on its website, which they also
update. The City has a link on its website to the Code Book on American Legal's website.
Each year, an estimated amount of funds are budgeted for this work. For 2008, a total of$1,750
has been budgeted. Staff has received an estimate from American Legal Publishing for this
year's Supplement. The estimate is based on the number of pages expected to be changed. The
cost is $18 per page, and this year's estimated number of pages is 112, for a total of$2,016. The
annual fee for hosting the Code Book on American Legal's website is $200, and updating the
searchable format is estimated at $220 (based on 112 pages @ $1.95/page).
As the number of pages is just an estimate, American Legal Publishing has provided a total
estimate in the range of $2300-$2800 for this 3rd Supplement. '-
Recommended Action:
Authorize American Legal Publishing to proceed with the City Code Book Supplement No.3
edits, and authorize the use of funds from the General Fund to cover ~osts in excess of the $1,750
budgeted for 2008.

so the request could be considered and if approved the City
Director Ie ected Collaborative Design Group, an architectural firm, to
prepare plans horewood City Hall building, located at 5755 Country Club
Road. The buildi n 1981 and it was expanded to its current size during the mid
1980s.The building w e 9.86-acre Badger Field complex which was zoned R-IC, Single-
Family Residential. The 1 sed adding approximately 1236 square feet of new space as part of a
renovation project. Because g rnmental buildings were conditional uses in residential districts, the City
had requested a revision to its current conditional use permit (C.D.P.) for the project.
Nielsen explained the existing structure contained approximately 5046 square feet of floor area, not
including the basement area. The basement area was not ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)
accessible, and it was currently used for dead storage. That usage would remain the same after the
renovation. The proposed renovation would include a 12-foot by 35-foot extension on the rear of the
building and a 24-foot by 34-foot extension on the north side of the building. The extension on the north

side of the building would allow for the Council Chambers to remain on site. A new entry would also be
added on the north side. He reviewed the site plan depicting the additions. He noted that the setback
requirements would be satisfied.
Nielsen then explained the renovation would make the existing space more functional. The conference
room, common work space and employee break room would be enlarged somewhat. The restrooms would
also be enlarged to comply with current ADA standards. Mechanical systems would be updated for
greater efficiency and site drainage would be improved. The exterior of the building would be updated
considerably.
Nielsen stated the City held a public meeting on Saturday, April 12, 2008, to provide the public an
opportunity to review the proposed renovation plan and comment on it. The meeting was attended by the
Councilmembers, two staff members, and two representatives from Collaborative Design Group (CDG).
The meeting was not well attended by the public. One suggestion that did come out at the meeting was to
attempt to incorporate more glass on the north side of the building which CDC was going to try and do.
Nielsen reviewed how the proposed renovation would comply with the conditions set forth in Section
1201.11 Subd. 4. of the City's Zoning Code for a governmental building in a residential zoning district.
1. The property was relatively well screened and landscaped where it abutted residential
uses. The thick vegetation located south of the building should be preserved during
construction. While the west elevation did not abut a residential use, it did face the street.
Therefore, landscaping should be done on the west side of the building to soften and
break up the mass of the structure.
2. The project was considered to be consistent with the Shorewood Comprehensive Plan.
The Badger Field property was designated for public use.
3. The City Hall building, including its proposed expansion was not incompatible with
surrounding uses. In fact the office use of the property served as a transition between the
commercial areas to the north and west and to the residential areas to the south and east.
4. The existence of City Hall had not depreciated the value of the surrounding area.
5. The proposed renovation, including the expansion, would have no adverse impact on City
services (i.e. utilities, police or fire).
Nielsen stated based on the preceding, Staff recommended approval of the revision to the City's current
conditional use permit for the City Hall renovation project, subject to a landscape plan being developed
for the west side of the building.
Nielsen noted that he had received a call from a property owner who had sued the City many years ago,
along with some of his neighbors, when the City had proposed a different expansion which did not
materialize. The property owner had indicated he would have no issue with the proposed expansion as he
would not be able to see it.
Council Liaison Woodruff requested the opportunity to speak for the applicant. He stated he wanted to
provide background on the project. A subcommittee had been established to work with CDG. The
subcommittee had conducted several meetings to date. Council had discussed the renov~tion plan at two
work sessions. During the last discussion representatives from CDG reviewed the proposed floor plan and

the finishes. He then stated landscaping of the property would not be done until the spring of 2009, and
some type of green landscaping (e.g. rain gardens) would likely be considered. He commented that from
his perspective there was Council consensus to treat the furniture component of the project as a separate
project; the City had furniture so there was no urgent need to address that right away.
Seeing no one present wishing to comment on this case, Acting Chair Gagne opened and closed the
Public Testimony portion of the Public Hearing at 7: 17 P.M.
The following comments and clarifications were made by Council Liaison Woodruff and Director Nielsen
in response to questions from the Planning Commissioners.
>- The plan was to solicit construction bids for the project during May 2008. The renovation
was planned to be substantially completed in October 2008, but that did not imply that all
of the finishing work would be done. Landscaping, furniture replacement, and signage
would be completed in 2009.
>- The proposed change to have more windows for openness on the north side of the
building was well received.
>- The hallway located next to the server, room was an ADA compliant ramp and would
allow access to the new Council Chambers.
>- There would be a window in the server room to allow a video recorder a view of the
Council Chambers.
>- The double doors in the Council Chambers were closet doors.
>- An exact budget had not been agreed upon, but CDG stated they thought the renovations
costs would be in the $850,000 range.
>- The proposed public coat closet was smaller than the existing one, but the existing one
was not used frequently.
>- The City was obligated to go through a bidding process for the project and to .take the
lowest responsible bid.
>- Three-quarter inch diameter holes had been drilled in the exterior walls, and a lighted
borescope had been used to look inside the wall cavities and under the siding. In one
location the siding was pulled back to exposing the sheathing. In another location an
approximately 4 by 5 inch hole was cut allowing full access to the wall cavity. Several
horizontal wood batten trims covering the window sills were removed. No moisture or ice
was visible in the inspections. With regard to findings, there didn't appear to be any
damage behind the window sill structure. The sill plate resting on top of the basement
wall on one comer was deteriorated; it was likely the result of water coming from below
the plate because it was located close to grade.
>- In order to mitigate the drainage issues, excavation would be done around three sides of
the structure, and the drain tile would be reestablished along with some granular fill to
help take water away from the structure. The water below the structure could not be
controlled. The drainage issues could be reduced but there was no guarantee they would
be eliminated.
>- The renovation effort would be quite disruptive to Staff.
Acting Administrator Brown clarified that he had very recently received an email from CDG stating CDC
had become aware that the City had adopted the updates to the Minnesota State Fire Code which would
require the City to install a sprinkler system in the building. The cost to do so would be approximately
$75,000 and that cost was not included in the $850,000 cost estimate. Staff recommended the City
adheres to its own rules and should not apply for an exception.

Gniffke moved, Geng seconded, recommending approval of a reVlSlon to the City's current
conditional use permit for the City Hall building for a renovation project, subject to a landscape
plan being developed for the west side of the building. Motion passed 6/0.
Acting Chair Gagne closed the Public Hearing at 7:29 P.M.
2. PUBLIC HEARING-. C.U.P. AMENDMENT (continued from 1 April 2008)
Applicant: Minnetonka School District 276
Location: Minnewashta Elementary - 26350 Smithtown Road
Acting Chair Gagne re-opened the Public Hearing at 7:29 P.M. (which was continued from 1 April 2008).
Director Nielsen stated the public hearing for the Minnewashta Elementary School conditional use permit
was continued from the 1 April 2008 Planning Commission meeting to this meeting pending the applicant
addressed issues raised in the City Engineer's memorandum dated 26 March 2008 and in the Planning
Director's memorandum dated 27 March 2008. Since the April 1 st meeting Staff and Excelsior Fire
District (EFD) Fire Inspector Lee Berglund had met with the applicant's engineer to go over the concerns.
With regard to the front parking lot which was proposed for total redesign, Nielsen explained the initial
plan did not conform to the City's Zoning Code requirements. The applicant had redesigned the parking
lot to comply with the dimensional requirements set forth in the Code. The revised plan for the parking lot
would accommodate an 8-foot by 33-foot ladder fire truck as requested by Fire Inspector Berglund. The
revised plan also showed the driveway entries had been widened to 20 feet to meet Fire Code
requirements. With regard to the elimination of the drop-off area in the front of the building, the revised
plan proposed restricting the northernmost 11 parking spaces to parking after 9:00 A.M. It was suggested
there be a similar no parking restriction during the afternoon student pick-up time. The revised plan
would result in increasing the number of parking spaces to 42 (including those in the II-space drop-off
are) from 26.
With regard to special event / overflow parking, Nielsen stated his 27 March 2008 report explained the
paved playground area on the north side of the building was intended to be used for overflow parking for
special events. A gate across the access to the driveway was to be opened for the special events, and
visitors were to be directed to the overflow area. The playground area did get used for overflow parking;
however, due to lack of stripping and supervision it was extremely inefficient. He noted the driveway
leading to the north side of the building was used for parking during the day. Because that driveway
served as fire access, the driveway should be posted as "Fire Lane - No Parking". The applicant had
recently provided a special event parking plan which proposed to use the angled bus parking area more
efficiently. Because that area could not be striped as shown on the special event parking plan, it would be
difficult to achieve the 30 spaces shown on the plan even with sufficient supervision. Nielsen stated based
on the additional parking that would be provided in the revised front parking lot plan and on the special
event parking plan Staff thought there could be sufficient parking for the Phase 1 expansion.
Nielsen related that the applicant had again stated that school officials would have to provide parking lot
supervision for special event parking. He stated Staff reconunended the School District provide a detailed
written plan outlining when supervision would be provided, how parking would be managed, and who
would do the supervision (volunteers or school personnel). The recommended written plan should also
include an educational/notice component which would remind parents to carpool where possible, and
advise them that parking restrictions near the school would be enforced. That plan should be monitored
for at least one full school year before any consideration. would be given for the Phase 2 expansion. The
applicant was requested to provide a calendar of special events for that purpose.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
15 April 2008
Page 5 of 10
Nielsen stated Staff was skeptical the Phase 2 expansion could be done without additional parking being
added. He related that the School District had told its consultant that it would not sacrifice the ball field
and play area on the north side of the building to add more parking.
Mike Condon, the Supervisor for Buildings and Grounds for the Minnetonka School District, stated he
and Cliff Buhman, with INSPEC (the consulting engineering firm representing the Minnetonka School
District) were present this evening. Mr. Condon stated the District wanted to be good neighbors to
residents in the Minnewashta Elementary School area. He commented that he had met with Fire Inspector
Berglund to discuss concerns about parking. He explained that with the Phase 1 expansion the front
parking lot would be expanded to increase the number of parking spaces by 20. On the west parking lot
the District was anticipating having multiple striping plans which would be well posted; for example red
could be for fire, green could be for special events, blue could be fore activities, and white could be for
regular parking. It would be difficult to have multiple striping plans for the overflow parking area because
of the playground area; that area would require very strict supervision. The multiple striping plans on the
west parking lot would account for the addition of 62 parking spaces. That would equate to 82 more
parking spaces for special events then there currently were. He cautioned that would not eliminate parking
on the side of the streets and grass for special events for the entire school population and their parents. He
explained that for some school areas the District worked out an early notification system with the local
police department; the police department would go to the area prior to those very large events and bag the
"Fire Lane - No Parking" signs and it would allow the public to park on the streets.
Mr. Buhman thanked Director Nielsen, Engineer Landini, and Fire Inspector Berglund for their
assistance.
Seeing no one present wishing to comment on this case, Acting Chair Gagne opened and closed the
Public Testimony portion of the Public Hearing at 7:44 P.M.
In response to a question from Commissioner Hutchins, Director Nielsen stated School staff would park
in the spaces in front of the drop-off area. Mr. Condon stated the northernmost 11 parking spaces in the
front parking lot that were would be designated no parking during drop-off and pick-up times during
regular school days would be used for visitor parking during the other times. In response to another
question from Hutchins, Nielsen clarified that bus drop-off was on the west side of the building.
Commissioner Ruoff stated that there was approximately a IS-minute window during the morning drop-
off and afternoon pick-up time periods when it was very congested and during that time the attendants
worked diligently to keep the traffic flowing. Traffic was also congested when there were the very large
school events which did not happen that frequently. During the times where there were multiple non-
school related sporting events traffic congestion occurred with regularity. The road which went past the
water tower would have cars parked on it to the point where a single car could not get through because
there would be cars parked on both sides of that road. Vehicles also would be double parked off the road
near the area where there was a slope on the property. He commented about a situation last summer when
a storm developed during the time of various sporting events and it turned into a precarious situation
when all the people tried to get to their vehicles and leave.
Director Nielsen suggested maybe the park and recreation coordinators for that property should schedule
events so there would be less overlap. He stated the coordinators for the City were diligent about
minimizing the overlap of events and allowing sufficient time between the events. Commissioner Ruoff
suggested the coordinators do some form of public notification about parking regulations for events.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
15 April 2008
Page 6 of 10
Mr. Condon suggested both sides of the road that went past the water tower should be posted "Fire Lane-
No Parking".
In response to a comment from Acting Chair Gagne, Director Nielsen clarified the Fire Inspector had
more authority than the police to issue parking tickets for parking in fire lanes.
Acting Chair Gagne suggested bagging the no parking signs during the peak event times. He stated the
City made the decision to construct streets to narrow to have on street parking; therefore, maybe the City
should try and be more accommodating. He then stated he did not think it would be right to lose the
children's play area.
Commissioner Gniffke stated during the public hearing on I April 2008 there were issues other than
parking that were discussed and he wondered if they had been addressed.
Director Nielsen stated with regard to landscaping the revised plan showed additional width and it
depicted a new sidewalk that would circle the east side of the parking area. The applicant still needed to
provide a detailed landscaping plan. He explained the enlarged NURP pond would accommodate the
additional storm water runoff resulting from both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 expansions as well as the
relocation of the driveway. If additional parking was required for the Phase 2 expansion the NURP pond
may have to be increased again. The applicant had submitted an overall plan as requested.
Mr. Buhman clarified the calculations used to determine the increased size for NURP pond included a
significant factor for safety; approximately 3,000 square feet would be added so he did not think there
would be any need to have to enlarge the pond again. He stated a detailed parking plan had no value if it
was not enforced; there had to a consequence for breaking rules.
In response to a comment from Acting Chair Gagne, Mr. Condon stated it was his understanding there
were people directing traffic at the school during the morning drop-off and the afternoon pick-up times.
That did not occur after hours.
Director Nielsen suggested the detailed parking plan should address field management at the school for
park and recreation sporting events.
Commissioner Ruoff stated the parking attendants kept traffic flowing during the drop-off and pick-up
times on school days. The parking problem was with non-school activities.
Council Liaison Woodruff stated if cars were towed from the no-parking areas people would begin to stop
parking in those areas. That would necessitate someone monitor the areas for violations.
In response to a question from Council Liaison Woodruff, Director Nielsen stated shifting the driveway
would result in it encroaching on a wetland area near the water tower and therefore require the applicant
to go through a wetland mitigation process.
In response to a question from Commissioner Ruoff, Mr. Condon stated the Phase I and Phase 2
expansions should support the School's student population needs for the next 25 years.
Council Liaison Woodruff questioned if the District had considered alternate space plans such as
purchasing nearby residential property to solve its space problems. He also questioned if the expansion
could done by creating a second story on the school. Mr. Condon stated some thought had been given to
purchasing two different residential properties; it had not been discussed with the residents. He explained
CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
15 April 2008
Page 7 of 10
when the building was constructed it was designed with footings that would only support 1.5 stories;
underpinning would have to be done to the footing to add extra structure to allow for a second story to be
added on and that would be extremely expensive. Woodruff stated allowing for expansion of a second
story would give the District more flexibility.
Mr. Condon stated based on the demographics he had reviewed he was confident the District would be
come before the City at a later date to get approval for the Phase 2 expansion. He then stated the District
would like to have the Planning Commission recommend approval for the Phase 1 expansion this evening
as the District was planning on breaking ground on Phase 1 on April 29, 2008; ifit did not start the effort
then it would not be completed by the start of school in the fall of 2009. He went on to state that he had
done parking plans with other cities that the District could use as templates for the plan the City
requested; that development plan could prepared well before approval for the Phase 2 effort was
requested.
Council Liaison Woodruff stated parking on the fire access lane was a Phase 1 expansion issue. Mr.
Condon stated both sides of the driveway would be posted "Fire Lane - No Parking". The Fire District
would then have the right to ticket violators. With regard to towing, Mr. Condon explained towing
companies were refusing to tow cars unless they were paid up front because violators have taken the
towing companies to court to fight the charges. The Minnetonka High School the District purchased
"boots" to put on vehicles in violation which would prohibit the vehicles from moving until a fine was
paid. Commissioner Geng stated the problem with using the boot would be the vehicles would be stuck in
the fire lane in the event of an emergency. Mr. Condon stated the District could enforce parking during
school hours; it was during non-school hours when enforcement was an issue.
Director Nielsen clarified that the detailed parking plan be developed for the Phase 1 expansion.
Hutchins moved, Ruoff seconded, recommending approval of a conditional use permit for the
Minnetonka School District for the Phase 1 expansion of the Minnewashta Elementary School,
26450 Smithtown Road, subject to the applicant submitting a detailed written parking lot
management plan that would be acceptable to the City and to the Excelsior Fire District. Motion
passed 6/0.
Director Nielsen stated he would try to have this request put on the April 28, 2008, City Council meeting
agenda. He noted he was not going to be in attendance at that meeting.
Acting Chair Gagne closed the Public Hearing at 8: 11 P.M.
3. DISCUSS PLANNING DISTRICT 6
This item was discussed after Item 7 on the agenda.
Director Nielsen stated the Planning Commission had already had numerous discussions regarding the
commercial redevelopment potential of Planning District 6 as well as the commercial properties located
on the south side of County Road 19 across from Planning District 6. That combined area included the
following commercial sites: 1) the Shorewood Yacht Club; 2) the Minnetonka Portable Dredging
Company; 3) the South Lake Office Building; 4) the Garden Patch Nursery; and 5) the property between
the South Lake Office Building and the Garden Patch Nursery (the old Crepeau Dock location which was
owned by the same individual who owned the Garden Patch Nursery). The South Lake Office Building
property was zoned R-C, Residential Commercial; the R-C District was intended to transition from lower
intensity uses to higher intensity uses. The Minnetonka Portable Dredging Company (MPDCo), the
CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
15 April 2008
Page 8 of 10
Garden Patch Nursery, and the old Crepeau Dock property were all in the C-2, Commercial Service
zoning district (which had previously been named the C-4 District); the C-2 District was also a
specialized district that was established to address existing industrial uses in that area.
Nielsen stated discussion of redevelopment possibilities for the Shorewood Yacht Club (SYC) property
began in 2005 when the SYC was put up for sale. All developers interested in the SYC property were also
interested in the MPDCo, which was not for sale. Redevelopment discussions basically ceased once the
SYC had been purchased by the current owners.
Nielsen explained during 2007 the owners of those businesses were invited to a Planning Commission
study session to provide their input on the future redevelopment of the properties. Most of the owners had
no plans to change the use of their properties in the future and they had no immediate plans to sell their
properties.
Nielsen explained the current use of the SYC property was consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and
with the L-R (Lake shore Recreational) zoning of the property. In 2007 the new owners of the SYC
property submitted a request to allow the SYC to use a portion of its boat slips for powerboat use; that
requested required an amendment to the City Code and the issuance of an interim conditional use permit
(C.U.P.). The request was approved after numerous discussions and after a public hearing was held. One
of the four piers at the SYC could be used for powerboats.
Nielsen stated if the MPDCo ever went away the C-2 District could go away. The other tWo properties in
the C-2 District, the Garden Patch Nursery property and the old Crepeau Dock property, could possible be
rezoned to R-C, Residential Commercial, and that would make their zoning the same as the South Lake
Office Building property.
Nielsen highlighted a text amendment to the Comprehensive Plan which addressed the redevelopment of
Planning District 6. It stated in the event the yacht club or the dredging company ceased to exist, reuse of
the properties should be directed to residential, at similar densities as the surrounding area (both in
Shorewood and Excelsior). The reason for the lower density was there were limitations on the land, with
access being the most significant. Currently both properties butted against West Lake Street right-of-way.
West Lake Street served a residential neighborhood in Excelsior, but the portion of West Lake Street that
could provide access into Shorewood was blocked off (but not vacated). Both of the companies currently
used a driveway off of County Road 19; the driveway crosses over the Hennepin County Regional Rail
Authority (HCRRA) LRT Trail, and it is there by license from HCRRA. The HCRRA could revoke the
license at its discretion. Access to the properties would then have to come from West Lake Street, which
would require the City to prepare a compelling case to reopen the street. He commented those two
properties could be suitable for a planned unit development and should be consistent with the
recommendations of the County Road 19 Corridor Study which would be incorporated by reference in the
Plan.
Nielsen stated his initial thought had been to recommend the change be incorporated into the overall
update to the Comprehensive Plan. Acting Chair Gagne stated there could be some vulnerability should a
developer approach the City with a redevelopment request prior to the overall update to the Plan being
approved. Commissioner Gniffke suggested the Planning Commission hold a public hearing on the text
amendment rather than include it for approval as part of the overall Plan update. .
Council Liaison Woodruff suggested the text amendment be modified to clarify the City's decision to
recently relax the restrictions on power boats at the SCY was for a three-year trial period.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING

Page 9 of 10
Gniffke moved, Hutchins seconded, scheduling a public hearing for the proposed text amendment
to the Comprehensive Plan regarding Planning District 6 at the 20 May 2008 Planning Commission
meeting.
Director Nielsen stated in addition to the legal notice the specific property owners and the property
owners within 500 feet of the area would be notified of the meeting.
Motion passed 6/0.
4. DISCUSS COMP PLAN - NATURAL RESOURCES AND LAND USE CHAPTERS
Director Nielsen stated he had sent the Planning Commissioners an email suggesting the Commission
discuss the goals, objectives and policies (Gaps) of the Natural Resources and Land Use chapters of the
Comprehensive Plan this evening. He stated from his vantage point the majority of Gaps were still quite
pertinent and there was not much that needed to be changed even though new issues had been added. The
Gaps were used to evaluate requests for change (e.g. a change in a land use application). He suggested
the Natural Resources chapter be amended to adopt the Comprehensive Water Resources Management
Plan by reference. The Natural Resources chapter should be expanded to address how the City planned to
address invasive vegetation. He commented there were many other agencies already work on managing
aquatic invasive species. There should also be some reference to managing wildlife.
Nielsen stated he would draft language to address the recommended changes to the Gaps sections of the
two chapters which the Commission could discuss at its 6 May 2008 meeting. He would attempt to define
a way the Land Use chapter could address the construction of McMansions by possibly incorporating a
floor-ratio to land-area approach to controlling house sizes.
Commissioner Hutchins stated the Natural Resources objectives did mention protection of the natural
wildlife habitat. He suggested an objective be added to protect and manage the wildlife within the habitat.
Director Nielsen commented the policies section in Land Use chapter was used extensively by the
Planning Commission when it evaluated the CUB proposal.
Council Liaison Woodruff suggested the Commissioners read the entire Comprehensive Plan.
5. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
There were no matters from the floor presented this evening.
6. DRAFT NEXT MEETING AGENDA
Director Nielsen stated he had distributed sample city surveys to the Planning Commissioners and he
asked them to consider what types of planning related questions they would want to see included in the
City-wide survey. He stated the questions would be discussed at the 6 May 2008 Planning Commission
study session during which there would also be continued discussion of the updates to the Natural
Resources and Land Use Chapters of Comprehensive Plan.
7. REPORTS
This item was discussed after Item 2 on the agenda.

Commissioner Ruoff reported on matters considered and actions taken at the April 14, 2008, Regular City
Council meeting (as detailed in the minutes of that meeting).
Council Liaison Woodruff stated the actual search for a new City Administrator would start on May 1,
2008, with the hope of a June or July 2008 start date. He stated resident John Garfunkel made a request at
the April 14, 2008, Council meeting to have Council re-evaluate the ward system and to possibly consider
returning to an at-large election system, and he suggested the City hold a public forum to hear public
comment on it. Woodruff stated he thought the Council would be discussing the ward system over the
next couple of months before residents would file for City election. He went on to state Council had been
working on a City-wide survey.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Planning Commission
FROM:
Brad Nielsen
DATE:
12 April 2008
RE:
City'Hall Renovation - c.u.P.
FILE NO.
405 (08.07)
BACKGROUND
The architectural firm, Collaborative Design Group, was selected by the City to prepare plans for
the renovation of the Shorewood City Hall building, located at 5755 Country Club Road (see Site
Location map - Exhibit A, attached). The building, constructed in 1981, is located on the 9.86-
acre Badger Field complex as shown on Exhibit B. It was expanded to its current size in the mid
80's. The property is zoned R-IC, Single-Family Residential, in which governmental buildings
are allowed by conditional use permit. Since the renovation includes approximately 1236 square
feet of new space, a revision to the current C.D.P. for the property is necessary. A public hearing
is scheduled for 15 April 2008.
The existing structure cont~ns approximately 5046 square feet of floor area, not including the
basement area which is not ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessible, and is currently
used for dead storage. The renovation includes a 12' x 35' extension on the rear of the building
and a 24' x 34' extension on the north side ofthe building (see Exhibit C). A new entry will also
be added on the north side.
The purpose of the renovation is to update the building and correct existing maintenance and
drainage issues that currently exist. The modest expansion has more to do with making the
existing space more functional than accommodating more people. For example, the conference
room, common work space and employee break room are enlarged somewhat (see Exhibit D).
The restrooms are enlarged to comply with current ADA standards. Mechanical systems will be
updated for greater efficiency and' site drainage will be improved. Finally, the "old boxcar" will
be given a much-needed facelift (see Exhibit E).

Memorandum
Re: City Hall Renovation - c.u.P.~
12 April 2008
ANAL YSIS/RECOMMENDA TION
The conditions for a governmental building in a residential zoning district are set forth in Section
1201.11 Subd. 4. of the City Code. Following is how the proposed renovation complies with the
Code:
1. The property is relatively well screened and landscaped where it abuts residential uses.
The thick vegetation located south of the building should be preserved during
construction. While the west elevation does not abut a residential use, some attention
should be given to that side of the building because it faces the street. It is not proposed
that this side of the building be screened from view, but landscaping should soften and
break up the mass of that side.
2. The project is considered to be consistent with the Shorewood Comprehensive Plan. The
Badger Field property is designated for public use.
3. The City Hall, including its expansion is not incompatible with surrounding uses. In fact
the office use of the property serves well as a transition between the commercial areas to
the north and west and the residential areas to the south and east.
4. The existence of City Hall has not depreciated the value of the surrounding area.
5. The proposed renovation, including the expansion, has no adverse impact on City
services (i.e. utilities, police or fire).
Based on the preceding, it is recommended that the City approve the conditional use permit for
the City Hall renovation project, subject to a landscape plan being developed for the west side of
the building.

RE:
Minnewashta Elementary School- c.u.P. for Proposed Expansion
FILE NO.
405(08.04)
BACKGROUND
INSPEC, a consulting engineering firm representing the Minnetonka School District, has
submitted plans for a two-phase expansion of the Minnewashta Elementary School, located at
26350 Smithtown Road (see Site Location map - Exhibit A, attached). As explained in a request
letter (Exhibit B), dated 8 February 2008, the first phase of the project would add approximately
3000 square feet of classroom and administrative space to the existing building (see Exhibit C).
Two classrooms would be added to the southwest comer of the building and the entry courtyard
area would be enclosed to accommodate various administrative functions. The second phase
includes 19,500 square feet for six new classrooms on the west side of the building arid a new
gymnasium on the north side of the building.
The school property is located in the R-1A, Single-Falllily Residential zoning district and
contains approximately 21.37 acres of land. Schools are conditional uses in residential districts
and the District has requested a revised c.u.P. for their project. The school property is presently
occupied by the school building itself, parking areas on the south and west sides of the h!lilding,
playground facilities, a gazebo and ball fields to the north of the building, and the City's wa.ter
tower on the west side of the site. The existing building contains 74,700 square feet of area.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
Two key issues were identified when staff first met with District representatives - parking.and
drainage. These are addressed in the conditions set forth for public school facilities in residential
zoning districts - SectionJ201.10 Subd. 4.b. of the Shorewood City Code. Following is how the
District's plans comply with the Code:
#.
f: . PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER

://: S.li
Memorandum
Re: Minnewashta School Expansion C.u.P.
27 March 2008
1. Building Setbacks. Both phases of construction comply with the setback requirements for
the R-IA zoning district.
2. Screening and Landscaping. No new landscaping has been included in the plans
submitted to date. Since additional parking is being proposed in the southeast comer of
the property (replacing a tot-lot area), additional landscaping, including some evergreen
material, should be required along the east side of the new lot.. This may necessitate
shifting a proposed new sidewalk that circles the east side of the parking area.
Since the existing landscape islands in the front parking lot will be demolished and
replaced, the landscape plan should show how the new islands will be landscaped.
3. Parking. The School District added on to the building in 1999, at whichtime parking was
noted as an area of concern. In order to comply with zoning requirements, the District
proposed to use the playground an~a on the north side of the building as overflow parking
for special events. School personnel or volunteers were to make sure that the gate was
open to this area and to direct traffic to the overflow area, If this is being done, its
effectiveness is questionable. Residents advise us that cars frequently park onSmithtown
Road and Strawberry Lane. Even on a normal school day, staff noted cars parked in
aisles and lining the driveway on the west side of the building. .
The District's engineers have submitted a revised parking lot plan thaf expands the front
parking area (see Exhibit D) to the east, replacing a small tot-lot play area. Although the
. ~
new plan includes a substantial increase in the number of spaces, the incteasewas
apparently accomplished by "miniaturizing" the parking lot. That is, the aisle widths and
stall depths have been reduced well below what is required in Section 1201. 03 Subd.
5.d.(8)(b) ofthe Zoning Code. For example, the aisle widths are as narrow as 15 feet,
where 18 feet is required. Stall depths are as short as 17 feet, where 21 feet is required
for 60 degree angle parking. The entry and exit drives are proposed to be reduced to 15
feet in width, raising concerns for emergency vehicle 'access. The Fire Marshal will be
asked to comment on the proposed circulation for the site.
It should be noted that the front parking lot could be expanded (designed to zoning
standards) to accommodate the Phase I project. The problem with evaluating one part of
the overall project at a time is the ultimate impact ondrainage. Forexample, shoqld it be
necessary to add parking on the north side of the site, the drainage plans submitted do not
address the additional runoff. The applicant already proposes to enlarge the ponding area
in the northwest comer of the property. It would be poor planning to have to expand it
again for Phase II. Parking for both phases should be resolved now.
4. Off-Street Loading. The applicant's plans suggest that no change willbe made to the
westerly parking lot. Presumably, school bus loading will remain where it is. The
redesign of the front parking lot, however, eliminates the parent drop-off area shown on
the previously approved site plan (see Exhibit E). This should be addressed in the
redesign of the front lot.

Re: Minnewashta School Expansion C.UP.
27 March 2008
5. Grading, Drainage and Utilities. These items will be addressed by the City Engineer
under separate cover. For purposes of this report it should be noted that the drainage
plans submitted to date do not adequately address Phase II ofthe project.
6. General C.UP. Requirements.. The general requirements for conditional uses are
provided in Section 1201.04 Subd. 1.(d)(I) ofthe Zoning Code. The Planning
Commission and Council should take these provisions under consideration in evaluating
the C.U.P. application.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the preceding, too many issues remain unresolved to recommend approval of the
C.UP. at this time. It is suggested that the matter be continued for at least 30 days, pending the
following:
A. A revised parking lot layout, designed to Shorewood Zoning Code standards, should be
provided. The applicant must also address additional parking for Phase II of the project,
as well as the issue ofloading. Plans should be subject to review and comment by the
Fire Marshal.
B. A landscape plan must be submitted showing landscaping on the east side of the parking
lot and in the landscape islands within the parking lot.
C. The applicant should submit an overall master plan for the site, similar to the one
submitted in 1999 (Exhibit E). This should be accompanied by an up-to-date survey of
the property, including the legal description of the property.
D. The grading and drainage plans for the property should be redesigned to address Phase II
of the District's plans and the additional parking that will be necessary to accommodate
Phase II.
With respect to the continuance, the applicant should indicate how long itwill take to revise the
plans. These plans must be received by City staff no later than 18 April in order to appear back
at the Planning Commission on 6 May. If they can not meet that deadline, the application should
be continued to the 20 May Planning Commission agenda. Continuing this matter will obviously
extend the review period beyond the 60-day review period, set forth in Minnesota Statutes 15.99
Subd. 3( e). The applicant is advised by copy of this memorandum that the review will take up to
120 days.

Re: Minnetonka Schools 2008 Site Improvements- Minnewashta Elementary School
Inspec Project No.: 210310
Dear Mr. Nielsen:
On behalf of Minnetonka Public Schools, ISD #276, we have prepared the following
exhibits in application for a conditional use permit, in conjunction with the site
improvements at Minnewashta'Elementary School proposed for construction this
year.
. Site Plan
. Grading plan including existing and proposed site contour elevations at one-
foot intervals.
. Construction plans for the proposed improvements including storm water
management facilities.
. Drainage calculations for the proposed storm water management facilities.
. Electrical plans for the new lighting, including photometric analysis.
The project proposed for this summer includes two building additions on the south
side of the school, totaling approximately 3,000 square feet, and improvements to the
existing south parking lot including expansion to the east of approximately 3,500
square feet. The school is also planning another addition in the near future for a new
gYmnasium and classroom space, amounting to approximately 19,500 square feet.
The submitted exhibit construction plans and specifications including the proposed
storm water management facilities, were developed based on an analysis of the
impact of the project scheduled for this year, as well as the probable impact of the
future addition. Two key points from our analysis involve the impact to existing Type
3 wetlands on the property.
Point 1
In the project proposed for this year, the existing storm water facility on the far north
side of the property (originally designed as a NURP pond in 1996 per the
construction drawings), is proposed to be enlarged to accommodate the increase in
the peak rate of storm water runoff for the 1, 10, and 100 year frequency events of
critical duration, including not only the increase from this year's proposed project but
also the near future building addition (gYm and classrooms). We included the future
addition in our analysis and subsequent storm water management plans as the most
prudent way to proceed with this year's project, enlarging the existing NURP pond
Exhibit B
APPLICANT'S RE&UEST LETTER
Dated ~ February 20
Minnetonka Schools
2008 Site Improvements
Inspec Project No.: 210310
February 8, 2008
Page 2
this summer to accommodate the storm water runoff increase from not only this summer's project but
also the proposed future addition. The rational being to make alterations to the existing NURP pond
once, rather than again at a later time when the future addition project is complete. The NURP pond
proposed for enlargement is currently a Type 3 wetland, but not a public (designated) water per the
NWI (see attached email from John Gleason ofthe Minnesota DNR confirming this).
Point 2
The building addition project proposed for the near future (new gym and classroom space), will
require relocation of the existing drive connecting the west parking lot to the north side of the
existing building, thereby impacting the existing wetland on the west side of the property and north
of this summer's project. This will likely lead to future wetland mitigation for the area displaced by
the relocated drive. This is not included in this permit application however. A separate application
will be submitted for this when this project is confirmed to proceed to construction by the school
district. Also, the existing wetland boundary will be confirmed this summer by the registered land
survey firm, as the current wetland boundary delineated in the exhibit was done this winter, thereby
providing us with the proper boundaries from which to confirm the impact.
Our computations for the storm water runoff volume and rate for the 1, 10, and 100 year critical
events were performed based on a runoff curve number of 98 for all areas, Le. runoff condition for all
areas as impervious directly connected to the drainage system. We believe this conservative approach
allows for a significant amount of additional capacity above that which would otherwise be required
(reference the attached storm water calculations).
The school district is planning on submitting their storm water management permit application to the
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. As part of this application they will need the following, which
they hope you can assist with:
. Documentation indicating conformance with ~n existing municipal storm water management
plan.
We wish to thank you and James Landini for your timely responses and professional assistance.
Please contact me if you need additional information or have any questions.
Very truly yours,
IN SPEC

Grading, Drainage, Future Minnewashta Schools
I have reviewed plans and drainage calculations for the 2008 Site Improvements
Minnewashta Elementary School, prepared by Inspec, dated 02/05/08. I offer
comments on the information presented.
.
The submitted drainage calculations show a reduction in offsite drainage rates
to the surrounding residential neighbors. The applicant did not provide a rate
calculation for runoff leaving the pond to the wetland to theNW. As long as
the outlet elevation and high water elevations remain the sarrie between
existing conditions and proposed conditions the rate of stormwater leaving the
pond should remain constant. I will request this verification rate calculation
for the file.
The proposed pond is shown expanded to miti,gate the additional runoff and
appears to be adequate for the submitted school expansion.
.
In review of the submitted drawings for the future expansion I offer the following
comments:
.
The future building expansion will require relocation of the existing storm'
sewer.
The future bllilding expansion will likely require the relocation of the rear
access driveway.
The submitted drainage calculations do not include the likely relocated rear
access driveway. .

RE:
Minnewashta Elementary School - Revised Parking Plans
FILE NO.
405(08.04)
Discussion of the MinnewashtaElementary School C.D.P. was continued to 15. April, pending
the applicant addressing issues raised in the City Engineer's memorandum,. dated 26 March 2008
and the Planning Director's memorandum, dated 27 March 2008. Since then, staffandFire /'
Inspector Lee Berglund have met with the applicant's engineer to go over the concerns.
Front parking lot. The parking lot in front of the building is proposed for total redesign. The
initial plans did not conform to Shorewood's zoning requirements. The applicant has redesigned
the parking lot as shown on Exhibits A and B, attached. The revised plan complies with the
dimensional requirements set forth in the Zoning Code. It also accommodates an 8' x 33' ladder
truck, as requested by the Fire Inspector. The driveway entries have been widened to 20 feet to
meet Fire Code requirements. Regarding the elimination of the drop-off area in front of the
building, the plan proposes that the northefumost 11 spaces will be restricted to parking after
9:00 A.M. Consideration should be given to the same restriction during the afternoon student
pick-up time.
The revised plan results in an increase from 26 spaces to 42 (including the 1 I-space drop,..off
area), an increase of 16 spaces.
Special event/overflow parking. As mentioned in the last report, the paved playground area on
the north side of the building is intended to be used for overflow parking. A gate across the
access driveway is to be opened for special events, and visitor~ are supposed to be directed to the
overflow area. It should be noted that this area does get used, however, due to lack of striping
and supervision, it is extremely inefficient. It has also been noted that the driveway leading to
the north side ofthe building is used'for parking during the day. Since this serves as fire access,
it should be posted as "Fire Lane - No Parking".

Memorandum
Re: Minnewashta Elementary - Revised Plans
11 April 2008
The applicant has provided a special event parking plan (Exhibit C) that proposes to use the
angled bus parking area more efficiently. Since this area ccin not be striped as shown 'On the plan,
the 30 spaces shown will be difficult to achieve, even with parking lot supervision.
The applicant has again stated that school officials will have to provide parking lot supervision
for special event parking. Staff recommends that the School District provide a detailed written
plan, outlining when supervision will be provided, how parking will be managed, and who will
do the supervision - volunteers or school personnel? It should also include an educational/notice
component, reminding parents to carpool where possible, and advising that parking restrictions
near the school will be strictly enforced. This plan should be monitored for at least one full
school year before any consideration of the second phase construction should be given. The
school principal should be involved in preparing this plan, since she/he will be the ultimate
contact person responsible for implementing the plan.
Conclusion. The School District has advised its consultant that they will not sacrifice the ball
field and play area on the north side of the building to add more parking. While this is
understandable, it suggests that the property may be full. As a result, school activities continue
to rely on on-street parking on streets that are not wide enough to accommodate parking: This
puts law enforcement personnel (police and fire) in the position of having to issue tickets for
parking violations.
While the additional parking provided in the revised front parking lot plan may be adequate for
the first phase improvement, staff can not at this time recommend the second phase plan. Any
further consideration of the second phase improvement should include a detailed, written parking
lot management plan and monitoring special event parking for at least one full school year. The
applicant should provide a calendar of special events for t4is purpose. Obviously, resulfs of the
monitoring would be considered in a new C.D.P. application at the time the second phase is
proposed.

RE:
Minnewashta Elementary School- Draft. Resolution
FILENO.
405(08.04)
The Planning Commission has recommended approval ofa C.U.P. for the Minnewashta
Elementary School expansion - Phase I. The approval was subject to conditions recommended
by staff in memoranda, dated 27 March 2008 and 11 April 2008, copies of which are included in
your Council packet. The most significant condition discussed by the Commission is the
requirement that the School District submit a detailed, written parking management plan
indicating how special event parking will be managed in the future. Ideally, this plan would have
been done before Monday night's meeting and incorporated into the Council's approval. The
School District, however, wishes to begin construction as soon as possible, in order to get the
work done before staff and students return in the fall.
In order to expedite the building permit, staffhas drafted a resolution for your consideration that
requires the District to submit the parking plan by the end of May. It also stipulates that the
parking revisions proposed in their application be cOl1J.pleted before a certificate of occupancy for
the new space will be issued. This includes curbing and striping of the front parking lot.
The parking management plan should address the following:
. Calendar of special events
. Who and how many people will the plan require to supervise parking?
. Overflow parking/special event parking signage
. Fire lane parking restrictions
. Drop-off area parking restrictions
.. Elaborate on proposed color-coded parking for bus loading area and north overflow
parking
,-'~.' PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
..."
Memorandum
Re: Minnewashta Elementary School c.u.P. Resolution
23 April 2008
. Contact information for person(s) responsible for parking management (day and
evening phone number, address and e-mail address)
It is extremely crucial that the School Distri<?t realizes the importance of the parking management
plan, and that the prospect of Phase II improvements relies on the success ofthe parking
management plan over the next year. The plan should be incorporated into a development
agreement between the District and the City.
Since I will not be at the meeting on Monday night, please call or e-mail me prior to the meeting
if you have any questions or concerns regarding the proposed resolution.

RE:
Request by Mr. Matt Phillipi to Appear to Appeal a Zoning Violation Process. '.
Property Located at 21155 Minnetonka Boulevard
Mr. Matt Phillippi owns the property located at 21155 Minnetonka Boulevard, as shown on the site
location map in Attachment 1.
Attachment 2 is correspondence received by Mf. Phillippi with regard to zoning violation and
enforcement action currently being pursued by the City of Shorewood through the Hennepin County
Court system. Mr. Phillippi has also requested to be heard by the City Council during the City
Council meeting to be conducted Monday evening.
Brad Nielsen, City.Planner has .included a memorandum outlining the process initiated for the
violation.
Other Information
It is my understanding that there was a hearing conducted initially at Hennepin County District
Court where Mr. Phillippi was scheduled to appear with regard to the subject zoning violation. Mr.
Phillippi has asSerted that proper notice to the violation was not provided. In turn, failure to appear
before the court was cause for a bench warrant to be issued for Mr. Phillippi by the Hennepin
County District Court.
Subsequently, on an unrelated matter, Mr. P}1illip was stopped by an officer (other than the South
Lake Minnetonka Police Department and outside of the South Lake Miniletonka Area) and the
bench warrant was executed.
With regard to the reference of inverse' condemnation, Mr. Phillippi has previously submitted
concerns with regard to the neighboring subdivision and the drainage pond and. storm sewer
facilities that were designed and constructed upstream of the subject property as part of a
subdivision performed in 2001. .

Judge Anne E. McKinsey
CITY OF SHOREWrJOD
I would like to make a matter of public record that I am making a motion to dismiss my
charge of maintenance of a non-permitted accessory and or any related charges case No.
27CR07129076 dropped with prejudice. I was never given a copy of the complaint nor
did I receive a summons to appear for a court date, and I was never advised that a warrant
was issued on said charges.
This is a violation of my civil of rights, arresting me, impounding my car and depriving
me of my due process. I appeared in court on 02-26-08 at 8:15AM, and the prosecutor for
Shorewood Erica Mischnick tried to Bully me. I stated I wanted my bail of $500.00
dollar returned. Erica Mischnick said she didn't know how to do this. I said I would show
her. I explained to Erica Mischnick that this arrest was unlawful and they had the wrong
address on the complaint, it was not my correct home address. The address on the
complaint is 21155 Minnetonka Boulevard, Shorewood, MN 55331 and my correct
address is 500 3rd Street, Excelsior, MN 55331. And Erica Mischnick then wrote down
my correct address in court. I stated my position to Erica Mischnick to her that the city of
Shorewood will give to me a formal apology for the unlawful arrest and compensate me
for said arrest, and agree to pay an attorney of my choice, and to expunge all from my
records, the incident.
The City is doing an inverse condemnation of my property at 21155 Minnetonka Blvd.
destroying the value by trespassing of drainage water in my basement. The City extorted
$8,400.00 dollars out of me. I did a sub-division - and sub-divided 2 properties and
created 2 additional lots (see back up attached) and the city billed for 4 lots and I only did
2.
MY position is clear, I will not remove my shed unless these issues are addressed and
resolved and the basement is almost always wet and the shed is to protect the property
that would normally be in the basement.
Depriving me my due process.
ON 02-06-2008, On my 1 sl appearance Ericka Mischnick, tried unsuccessfully to deprive
me of a preliminary conference and tried to schedule a trial date. At that time I interjected
and had the clerk schedule another appearance date, and I requested at that time to speak
to the Judge. And I appeared before you Judge Anne McKinsey and simple stated that I
am a victim of a unlawful arrest and requested my bail returned to me. Eric Mischnick
interjected that I did not respond to the summons that was sent to the wrong address, if it
was sent at all.
Thank you for returninf! mv bail at that time your honor Judge Anne McKinsev.

My next appearance on 03-11-08
Stuart Alger the Attorney for Shorewood tried to intimidate me. I repeated the complaint
to Stuart Alger, and asked how he plans to address these issues. Stuart Alger refused to
address my complaint, then tried unsuccessful to set a trail date and then deprive me of
my due process. He deprived me of a pretrial conference, I objected to this.
My next appearance on 04-08-08
I appeared in court and I was prepared to discuss my case. I was ready to produce my
side of my case and had all the paperwork and evidence to back my claims. I discuss this
briefly with Stuart Alger in the hall, at that time I asked Stuart Alger that ifhe had
anything in writing to show his side of the case to me, and he replied NO.
Stuart Alger proceeded back into the court room and up to the clerk and states he is
leaving the court room now. The clerk said to him "What and Stuart Alger repeats he is
leaving the court room now. I Matthew Phillippi, said I am not leaving and I want to
speak to the JUDGE, and requested to speak the Judge in chambers, however I was
refused. The clerk said I could not speak to the judge in chambers without counselor the
prosecutor being there.
Your Honor Stuart Alger tried to unsuccessfully again to deprive me of due process.
I appeared before you, Your Honor and asked for a copy of the summons and a copy of
the arrest warrant that I was arrested under. You the Judge stated I would have to request
this from the prosecutor, well I did in a letter on April 11, 2008 see enclosed letter. I have
since sent Stuart Alger and the City Administrator a requested for my demands. See
enclosed copy ofletter. You're Honor I am schedule for April 28, 2008 City of
Shorewood council meeting to bring the City of Shorewood up to speed on these issues,
in the hope to avoid a costly trial, that I do not see how they can possible win.
Note: I have been in the community of Shorewood for 54 years.
You're Honor it breaks my heart to fight for my rights in a community where I was raised
m.
Note: I don't want fight but I refuse to give up my rights.

Stuart T. Alger,
As you know appeared in court on April 8-08 for the purpose of a preliminary conference
I was looking forward to discussing the case with the Judge serving as a mediator.
However you thought apparently it would be wiser on your part to deprive me of this
opportunity. The Judge was not too impressed with you stunt, well be it as it may.
I requested a copy of summon at that time and a arrest warrant in court in front of Judge
Anne McKinsey, and she stated that I had to make my request to the prosecutor and well
here it is.
1. I want a copy of the summons
2. Who mailed
3. What address is on it, and what address was it mail too.
4. Where was it mailed from?
5. Was it returned?
6. When was it mailed
7. I want a copy of the warrant.
Why was I never notified that I was facing an arrest warrant? Case No 27CR07129076
April 11-08 1O:45AM .
I just talked to Larry Brown and he recommended I include in this letter that I make a
request to be put on the April 28, 2008 Shorewood agenda counsel meeting. I brought to
. Larry's attention that you appear to be forcing the City Of Shorewood and I into a lawsuit
that is a no win for the City Of Shorewood and deprive me of a chance to mediate;
April 11-08
I demand my eight-four hundred dollars that Craig Dawson over charged me for my sub-
division for 4 lots, when I only created 2 lots and increase the price per lot for 1,000.00. I
would have had this approved before increase if Brad Neilson had not sand bagged me,
and made a component of my subdivision the removal of the garage on my house at
4890 Ferncroft, Shorewood MN house in question. Note I have all record of this.
I request a copy of all photo and evidence that you plan to use in court (this is discover)
and a list of all witnesses that you plan to call and a copy of their dispositions.
I expect a response to my demands on my subdivision refund with in 5 working days.
$ 8,400.00 for overcharge amount for my subdivision, plus interest and interest on my
escrow money what was $11,250.00
..
April 6, 2008
1.
I want a copy of the summons
Who signed it?
What address was on it?
Who mailed it
Were was it mail from
Copy of the warrant?
2. I want a copy of the court docket of the court docket of the court date I was suppose to
have made on 29th of January 08. I want a transcript to the court record on said date. And
I want a copy of the arrest warrant, NOT the complaint!
I want a copy of the transcript from the court date that I missed do to this illegal arrest.
The reckless driving ticket on 2-5-08, and I want statements from prosecutor from said
date.
I demand $8,400.00 dollars returned to me with interest for the subdivision in the City of
Shorewood they charged me for 4 lots and I only created 2.
Most importantly I demand answers to the demands I made as to the function of the
drainage that is flooding out my house on 21155 Minnetonka Blvd.
Who designed this?
How was it designed to function?
At what elevation was the spec intake and exhaust?
What are they in reality?
Is there a BOND on this project? If as who's is it, how much etc.
This system does not work, my basement is wet any time there is a heavy rain, and when
there is a heavy rain the rain water will back up and cover my driveway 4 or 5 inches
deep.
Nathan Shanklen who caused this mess? and he installed this drain system.
And then he would pump the water out of the drain system for days it would take.
The City of Shorewood has ruined the value of my property, by storm water trespass.
Not only that but they refused to address my issues. I have complaining for years and no
response from me or my attorney (see Enclosed).
Background
4-6-08
The City of Manager of Shore wood (Craig Dawson) he uses to be the City Manager of
Excelsior and tried to run me out of town, forcing me to initiate a federal lawsuit that
lasted over 2 years to resolve. The resolve being I won and the City had to pay me
compensation. However I did not see this as a big win per say, however I am not a loser.
This is true.
Craig Dawson,
It appears he is trying to do the same in Shorewood. I have 100 of friend in Shorewood
that will come to my defense, in this matter. I have lived in the area for over 54 years.
What breaks my heart it appears I have to sue the community I grew up in. I assure you it
is not by choice. This has Nothing to do with the shipping container. The City of
Shorewood has nothing to win and everything to lose, it's just a matter of time.
The best solution to the problem would be to take the money out of your storm water
fund and proceed to do a condemnation on my property and remove all improvement and
use said property for storm water pond. This area is the lowest spot for the whole south
end of manor.
It would satisfy the whole community and be a bullet proof way to handle the storm
water problem. I am not the problem or a problem. Saving to the community would be
tremendous. No attorney fees and no wasted time in court etc.
However as I do not trust Bradley Neilson or the City Management this will have to be
broker through a Judge or Mediator. Who is the responsible for the maintenance ofthis
debackale? Who is liable for the damage to me and my property?
I demand a formal apology for the unlawful arrest from everyone involved. I want to be
compensated for my duress? I want my impound fee paid to me $150.00 and most
importantly the whole arrest and everything related to it will be expunged from all
records, with a attorney of my choice, at the City of Shorewood expense.
I request to the court that the charge be dropped with prejudice or at least until the City
of Shorewood addresses my issues and correct the drainage problem etc.
Complaint
April 6 08
I went to the clerk office in Ridgedale after my court appearance on 3-11-08.
I requested a copy of the subpoena(summons) and arrest warrant, the response was you
have one, I replied I had a copy of a complaint and want a copy of the summon and
arrest warrant the women reply you got your bail back. I repeated my request and she
response there is no record of either of this here. I state there generated here how can that
be and she comes back with a deputy with a gun and he become belligerent and said
don't you hear her and I reply I was asking what I was entitle to by law and then he the
deputy become very surly and still uncooperative and I reply I would make my request to
a Judge and left.
Ken Potts the Prosecutor for Excelsior/Shorewood. I called many times his office he
never returns my call he has refused on at least 3 occasion to answer my request for ICR
reports or supply me with formal written complain which I required to defend my self in
court. Judge who do I address my complaint about a prosecutor. The bar association?

DATE:
28 April 2008
RE:
Phillippi - Request for Appearance Before City Council
FILE NO.
Property (21155 Minnetonka Boulevard)
Mr. Matthew Phillippi has requested to appear before the City Council relative to a zoning
enforcement action currently being pursued by the City through the Hennepin County District
Court system.
In July oflast year, based upon neighborhood complaints, a zoning violation notice was sent
to Mr. Phillippi at his home in Excelsior (see Exhibit A, attached). As is our practice, we
sent one copy by certified mail and one copy by regular mail. Mr. Phillippi refused the
certified letter (Exhibit B). The regular mail copy was delivered and not returned. Since Mr.
Phillippi did not respond to the notice, the matter was turned over to the City Attorney for
further legal action (see Exhibit C). A copy of this letter was also sent to Mr. Phillippi and
was not returned to us by the Po~t Office. Still Mr. Phillippi did not respond. The case has
subsequently worked its way (painfully slowly) through the court system. At this time our
attorneys have made four appearances relative to this case, and as of this writing we do not
have a trial date. The City Attorney will update the Council as to the current status of the
case on Monday night.
Mr. Phillippi has now chosen to appeal to the City Council, citing several issues that have
absolutely no bearing on the zoning violation under consideration. Unfortunately, I will not
be in attendance at Monday night's meeting to answer questions. Photos ofthe shipping
container in question are attached as Exhibits Athrough F. Hopefully, these photos speakJor
themselves. If you do have questions of me, please call me on my cell phone or e-mail me
prior to Monday night's meeting. If questions arise at the meeting that require my response,
please continue the matter to 12 May.

Re: Zoning Violation - 21155 Minnetonka Boulevard
Mr. Phillippi:
Our office has received a neighborhood complaint regarding a metal shipping container that has
been located at the above-referenced property for approximately one year. Upon inspection of
the premises, the complaint has been found to be accurate. Your. property is situated in the R-
1D/S, Single-Family Residential/Shoreland zoning district. Shipping containers are not allowed
either as permitted or accessory uses. Consequently, this item must be removed from the
property.
The purpose of this letter is to advise you that if the shipping container is not removed by 8
Augus 2007, the matter will be turned over to the City Attorney's office for further legal action.
In processing this complaint it has also come to our attention that the property is being rented out
without the necessary rental housing license. If you intend to continue renting the property, you
must obtain a license by 31 July 2007. As with the zoning violation, failure to comply with
Shorewood's Rental Housing Code will result in legal action by the City Attorney's office.
If you have any questions relative to either of these items, please do not hesitate to contact me at
952-474-3236 or bye-mail atplanning@ci.shorewood.mn.us.

Re: Zoning Code Violation - 21155 Minnetonka Boulevard
Dear Mr. Keane:
On 24 July of this year, we sent a Zoning Violation letter to Mr. Matthew Phillippi regarding the
above-referenced address (see attached inspection records and Notice). The letter was sent by
certified mail as well as by regular mail. The certified copy was returned, stamped "Refused",
however, the regular mail copy was not returned. The 8 August deadline for correcting the
zoning violation has expired and we have not heard from the property owner, nor has the
violation been corrected.
At this time we have no other choice than to resolve this matter through the court system. At
your earliest opportunity, please prepare the formal complaint for Hennepin County District
Court. I would like to report to the City Council, at its 27 August meeting, that the formal
complaint has been filed with the court.
Sincerely,
CITY OF SHOREWOOD

Judge Anne E. McKinsey
1 would like to make a matter of public record that I am making a motion to dismiss my
charge of maintenance of a non-permitted accessory and or any related charges case No.
27CR07129076 dropped with prejudice. I was never given a copy of the complaint nor
did I receive a summons to appear for a court date, and I was never advised that a warrant
was issued on said charges.
This is a violation of my civil of rights, arresting me, impounding my car and depriving
me of my due process. I appeared in court on 02-26-08 at 8: 15AM, and the prosecutor for
Shorewood Erica Mischnick tried to Bully me. I stated I wanted my bail of $500.00
dollar returned. Erica Mischnick said she didn't know how to do this. I said I would show
her. I explained to Erica Mischnick that this arrest was unlawful and they had the wrong
address on the complaint, it was not my correct home address. The address on the
complaint is 21155 Minnetonka Boulevard, Shorewood, MN 55331 and my correct
address is 500 3rd Street, Excelsior, MN 55331. And Erica Mischnick then wrote down
my correct address in court. I stated my position to Erica Mischnick to her that the city of
Shorewood will give to me a formal apology for the unlawful arrest and compensate me
for said arrest, and agree to pay an attorney of my choice, and to expunge all from my
records, the incident.
The City is doing an inverse condemnation of my property at 21 155 Minnetonka Blvd.
destroying the value by trespassing of drainage water in my basement. The City extorted
$8,400.00 dollars out of me. I did a sub-division - and sub-divided 2 properties and
created 2 additional lots (see back up attached) and the city billed for 4 lots and I only did
2.
MY position is clear, I will not remove my shed unless these issues are addressed and
resolved and the basement is almost always wet and the shed is to protect the property
that would normally be in the basement.
Depriving me my due process.
ON 02-06-2008, On my 151 appearance Ericka Mischnick, tried unsuccessfully to deprive
me of a preliminary conference and tried to schedule a trial date. At that time I interjected
and had the clerk schedule another appearance date, and I requested at that time to speak
to the Judge. And I appeared before you Judge Anne McKinsey and simple stated that I
am a victim of a unlawful arrest and requested my bail returned to me. Eric Mischnick
interjected that I did not respond to the summons that was sent to the wrong address, if it
was sent at all.
Thank yOU for rcturninf! my bail at that time your honor JudfJc Anne McKinsey.

My next appearance on 03-11-08
Stuart Alger the Attorney for Shorewood tried to intimidate me. I repeated the complaint
to Stuart Alger, and asked how he plans to address these issues. Stuart Alger refused to
address my complaint, then tried unsuccessful to set a trail date and then deprive me of
my due process. He deprived me of a pretrial conference, I objected to this.
My next appearance on 04-08-08
I appeared in court and I was prepared to discuss my case. I was ready to produce my
side of my case and had all the paperwork and evidence to back my claims. I discuss this
briefly with Stuart Alger in the hall, at that time I asked Stuart Alger that ifhe had
anything in writing to show his side of the case to me, and he replied NO.
Stuart Alger proceeded back into the court room and up to the clerk and states he is
leaving the court room now. The clerk said to him "What and Stuart Alger repeats he is
leaving the court room now. I Matthew Phillippi, said I am not leaving and I want to
speak to the JUDGE, and requested to speak the Judge in chambers, however I was
refused. The clerk said I could not speak to the judge in chambers without counselor the
prosecutor being there.
Your Honor Stuart Alger tried to unsuccessfully again to deprive me of due process.
I appeared before you, Your Honor and asked for a copy of the summons and a copy of
the arrest warrant that I was arrested under. You the Judge stated I would have to request
this from the prosecutor, well I did in a letter on April 11, 2008 see enclosed letter. I have
since sent Stuart Alger and the City Administrator a requested for my demands. See
enclosed copy ofletter. You're Honor I am schedule for April 28, 2008 City of
Shorewood council meeting to bring the City of Shorewood up to speed on these issues,
in the hope to avoid a costly trial, that I do not see how they can possible win.
Note: I have been in the community of Shorewood for 54 years.
You're Honor it breaks my heart to fight for my rights in a community where I was raised
m.
Note: I don't want fight but I refuse to give up my rights.
Sincerely,
Matthew Phillippi.

Stuart T. Alger,
As you know appeared in court on April 8-08 for the purpose of a preliminary conference
I was looking forward to discussing the case with the Judge serving as a mediator.
However you thought apparently it would be wiser on your part to deprive me of this
opportunity. The Judge was not too impressed with you stunt, well be it as it may.
I requested a copy of summon at that time and a arrest warrant in court in front of Judge
Anne McKinsey, and she stated that I had to make my request to the prosecutor and well
here it is.
1. I want a copy of the summons
2. Who mailed
3. What address is on it, and what address was it mail too.
4. Where was it mailed from?
5. Was it returned?
6. When was it mailed
7. I want a copy of the warrant.
Why was I never notified that I was facing an arrest warrant? Case No 27CR07I29076
April 11-08 IO:45AM
I just talked to Larry Brown and he recommended I include in this letter that I make a
request to be put on the April 28, 2008 Shorewood agenda counsel meeting. I brought to
Larry's attention that you appear to be forcing the City Of Shorewood and I into a lawsuit
that is a no win for the City Of Shorewood and deprive me of a chance to mediate;
April 11-08
I demand my eight-four hundred dollars that Craig Dawson over charged me for my sub-
division for 4 lots, when I only created 2 lots and increase the price per lot for 1,000.00. I
would have had this approved before increase if Brad Neilson had not sand bagged me,
and made a component of my subdivision the removal of the garage on my house at
4890 Ferncroft, Shorewood MN house in question. Note I have all record of this.
I request a copy of all photo and evidence that you plan to use in court (this is discover)
and a list of all witnesses that you plan to call and a copy of their dispositions.
I expect a response to my demands on my subdivision refund with in 5 working days.
$ 8,400.00 for overcharge amount for my subdivision, plus interest and interest on my
escrow money what was $11,250.00
..
Also I want a copy of all ordinance and regulation that explain why you were allowed to
charge me what you did on everything you had charged me one and how you came up
with the price/fees. Also how this applies to my situation.
Thank-you
Looking forward to your prompt response.

1.
I want a copy of the summons
Who signed it?
What address was on it?
Who mailed it
Were was it mail from
Copy of the warrant?
2. I want a copy of the court docket of the court docket of the court date I was suppose to
have made on 29th of January 08. I want a transcript to the court record on said date. And
I want a copy of the arrest warrant, NOT the complaint!
I want a copy of the transcript from the court date that I missed do to this illegal arrest.
The reckless driving ticket on 2-5-08, and I want statements from prosecutor from said
date.
I demand $8,400.00 dollars returned to me with interest for the subdivision in the City of
Shorewood they charged me for 4 lots and I only created 2.
Most importantly I demand answers to the demands I made as to the function of the
drainage that is flooding out my house on 21155 Minnetonka Blvd.
Who designed this?
How was it designed to function?
At what elevation was the spec intake and exhaust?
What are they in reality?
Is there a BOND on this project? Ifas who's is it, how much etc.
This system does not work, my basement is wet any time there is a heavy rain, and when
there is a heavy rain the rain water will back up and cover my driveway 4 or 5 inches
deep.
Nathan Shanklen who caused this mess? and he installed this drain system.
And then he would pump the water out of the drain system for days it would take.
The City of Shorewood has ruined the value of my property, by storm water trespass.
Not only that but they refused to address my issues. I have complaining for years and no
response from me or my attorney (see Enclosed).
Background
4-6-08
The City of Manager of Shorewood (Craig Dawson) he uses to be the City Manager of
Excelsior and tried to run me out of town, forcing me to initiate a federal lawsuit that
lasted over 2 years to resolve. The resolve being I won and the City had to pay me
compensation. However I did not see this as a big win per say, however I am not a loser.
This is true.
'",
. ~
Craig Dawson,
It appears he is trying to do the same in Shorewood. I have 100 of friend in Shorewood
that will come to my defense, in this matter. I have lived in the area for over 54 years.
What breaks my heart it appears I have to sue the community I grew up in. I assure you it
is not by choice. This has Nothing to do with the shipping container. The City of
Shorewood has nothing to win and everything to lose, it's just a matter of time.
The best solution to the problem would be to take the money out of your storm water
fund and proceed to do a condemnation on my property and remove all improvement and
use said property for storm water pond. This area is the lowest spot for the whole south
end of manor.
It would satisfy the whole community and be a bullet proof way to handle the storm
water problem. I am not the problem or a problem. Saving to the community would be
tremendous. No attorney fees and no wasted time in court etc.
However as I do not trust Bradley Neilson or the City Management this will have to be
broker through a Judge or Mediator. Who is the responsible for the maintenance of this
debackale? Who is liable for the damage to me and my property?
I demand a formal apology for the unlawful arrest from everyone involved, I want to be
compensated for my duress? I want my impound fee paid to me $150.00 and most
importantly the whole arrest and everything related to it will be expunged from all
records, with a attorney of my choice, at the City of Shorewood expense.
I request to the court that the charge be dropped with prejudice or at least until the City
of Shorewood addresses my issues and correct the drainage problem etc.

have one, I replied I had a copy of a complaint and want a copy of the summon and
arrest warrant the women reply you got your bail back. I repeated my request and she
response there is no record of either of this here. I state there generated here how can that
be and she comes back with a deputy with a gun and he become belligerent and said
don't you hear her and I reply I was asking what I was entitle to by law and then he the

Brad Nielsen
DATE:
10 November 2004
RE:
Phillippi, Matthew - Minor Subdivisions and Lot AreaJWidth
Variances
FILE NO.:
405 (04.31)
BACKGROUND
Mr. Matthew Phillippi has acquired three parcels of property, located at 4880 and 4890
Ferncroft Drive and 21155 Minnetonka Boulevard (see Site Location map and Existing
Parcels - Exhibits A and B, respectively, attached). He proposes to resubdivide the three
parcels into five lots as shown on Exhibit C. Mr. Phillippi's proposal involves two minor
subdivisions with lot area variances on three of the lots. Additionally, Mr. Phillippi
requests that five feet of the right-of-way for Femcroft Drive be vacated.
The subject properties are zoned R-1D/S, Single-Family ResidentiallShoreland. Parcell
consists of two previously platted lots and one-half of a vacated right-of-way. This
parcel contains 19,251 square feet of area and is occupied by a single-family dwelling
and a detached garage. Parcel 2 contains 9874 square feet and is vacant, except for the
garage of the property to the south that encroaches onto the parcel by approximately 17
feet. The owner of the garage has agreed to remove it, and Mr. Phillippe has agreed to
convey a driveway easement across Parcel 2 (Lot C) to access a future garage at the rear
ofthat lot. Parcel 3 contains 18,138 square feet and is occupied by a nonconforming two-
family dwelling and a detached garage that is located too close to Femcroft Drive.
Zoning and land use surrounding the properties in question is primarily R-1D/S,
developed as single-family residential. The exception to this pattern is the old Kuemple

3. The encroaching garage must be removed within six months. Again, an escrow
must be provided.
4. The applicant must provide a copy of the driveway easement across Lot C,
suitable for recording. '
5. The applicant must provide deeds for the drainage and utility easements on each
of the new lots.
6.. The applicant must provide title opinions or title commitments for all of the
subject properties for review by the City Attorney.
7. The deeds, title opinions and bids referenced in 1-5 above must be submitted
within 30 days of the Council's approv~ of the request. The escrows for 1.5
times the amount of the bids must be submitted within 60 days, at which time the
resolutions and deeds must be recorded with Hennepin County.
Prior to release of the Council resolution approving the request, the applicant
must pay park dedication fees ($1500 per lot) and local sanitary sewer charges
($1200 per lot) for the two newly created lots. Cr:edit is allowed for the three
existing parcels.

CITY OF SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
March 1, 2005
Page 5 of 6
5. MINOR SUBDMSIONS AND LOT SIZE VARIANCES (Reconsideration)
Applicant: Matthew Phillippi
Location: 21155 Minnetonka Blvd. and 4900 Ferncroft Drive
/' Director Nielsen reviewed the history of this matter, noting this matter had been considered in November _
<' of 2004, with the Commission recommending against the variances that were being requested due to lack
~ of hardship. With the understanding that there might be a possible change to the variance criteria, the
applicant had requested his application not be forwarded to Council for consideration until the
Commission had reviewed a possible change to the criteria for considering variances. Although the
Commission had not acted on a proposed amendment to that effect, Staff had committed to the applicant
that a revised plan would be scheduled for review at this meeting. Director Nielsen then briefly
summarized the revisions to the original plan. He stated the subject lots would be divided to have
uniform 70-foot widths. In addition to the nonconformities that would be eliminated or reduced from the
originaJapplication, the existing house between Lots C and D would have its garage on its respective lot,
and the existing lot would be increased from 50 feet in width to 70 feet.
{gith regard to the previous Staff recommendations on this matter, Director Nielsen stated all
recommendations were the same with the exce.ption of an increase in park dedication fees as per the
_oramance amendment earlier m 2UU5. He also noted the applicant was present this evening and wished to
ave the Commission provide feedback on this request.
Matt Phillippi, owner of the properties located at 21155 Minnetonka Boulevard and 4900 Femcroft Drive,
stated he was trying to "clean up" the neighborhood with his request and he had invested a great deal of
time and money to that effect. In addition, he stated if the City would not agree to the proposed
subdivision, he would be forced to upgrade the existing duplex located on the property, and this was
something he did not want to have to do. Mr. Phillippi stated it was his intent to have the duplex utilized
in a live bum scenario with the Excelsior Fire District. He thought the entire request would provide a
benefit to the community and he thought it was a good chance to resolve issues of nonconformity as well.
He stated the existing house had a pending offer of sale upon it, and he noted a sewer stub had been
recorded with proposed Lots A and B. He further noted the beauty of the property and stated he wished
to maintain that beauty in the area.
Discussion ensued by the Commission regarding clarification of lot lines and other options for
subdivision.
Commissioner Conley questioned the setback issues related to the garage on Lot F. Director Nielsen
stated it would remain nonconforming at five feet, but with the current proposal would be on its own lot.
Commissioner White stated she thought the current proposal was improved over the original and while
the lots were smaller, they would be larger than some existing lots in the area. Commissioner Gagne
agreed.
Chair Bailey stated he had given a great deal of thought to the existing criteria as it related to this request.
He stated he thought the request was clearly economic in nature; however, the current proposal presented
was the closest he had seen to resolving the problems in that neighborhood. Commissioner Gniffke
agreed.
Commissioner Meyer stated he also agreed with Chair Bailey's comments, noting while it was a great
way to cure the problems, he remained uncertain of the hardship. He stated he believed this was an
example of a case whereby granting a variance was better than not granting the variance.
8. Areas, other than streets, alleys, pedestrian ways and utility easements, intended to be
dedicated or reserved for public use, including the size of such area or areas in square feet
and acres.
9. A statement of the proposed use oflots stating type of buildings with number of proposed
dwelling units or type of business, so as to reveal the effect of the development on traffic,
fire hazards and congestion of population.
10. Public utilities including water, sanitary sewer mains and service connections to be
installed in accordance with the standards of the City of Shorewood.

Re: Drainage Issues Relating to 21155 and 21175 Minnetonka Boulevard
Our File No.: 45301.1
Dear Mr. Nielsen:
You may recall that this firm represents Mr. Matthew Phillippi, owner of property located at
21155 Minnetonka Boulevard. Mr. Phillippi's property lies adjacent to and immediately to the
north of the property located at 21175 Minnetonka Boulevard owned by Mr. Dan Heiland.
I believe that you are familiar with the topography of the area and the fact that Mr. Heiland's
property is located at a higher elevation than Mr. Phillippi's property. Also, I believe that you
are aware that there is a wetland area on the north side of Mr. Heiland's property, lying
immediately south of the property line between Mr. Phillippi's property and Mr. Heiland's
property, that collects water as it comes down the hill from the south draining north toward Lake
William. It is critically important that the water accumulating in the wetland area is properly
drained to avoid trespass by water on Mr. Phillippi's property.
I am advised at one time that there was an engineering study that recommended a "see through"
culvert from Mr. Heiland's property across Mr. Phillippi's property, which would ensure proper
drainage of runoff water gathering in the wetland area to avoid saturation of Mr. Phillippi's
property. As Mr. Phillippi's property becomes saturated, the water table rises and creates undue
hydrostatic pressure on the foundation of the house located on Mr. Phillippi's property, which
results in water seeping into the basement. It is our understanding that there is another proposal
either before the City or that has been approved by the City for drainage from Mr. Heiland's
property.
I would appreciate it if you could please provide me with a copy of that proposal and advise me
whether that proposal has been approved by the City. Also, on behalf of Mr. Phillippi, I request
that a bond be obtained from either Mr. Heiland or the party installing the drainage system to
protect Mr. Phillippi against any problems that may arise due to improper drainage following the
installation of the drainage system by or on behalf of Mr. Heiland.

Re:
Review of Hy,Jrologic Issues Associated with
Simple Subdivision of Property at 21175 Mlnnetonka Boulevard
WSB Project No.1 074-541
As requested, we have reviewed the information you submitted-~d completed a site inspection
concerning the above-referenced subdivision. Based on this review, the following comments are
made:
1. The property and structures immediately north of2117S,Minnetonka Boulevard have
experienced flooding due to the tact that the overland overflow from this depression - is higher
than the building floor elevation.
2. Calculations submitted by John KaIwacki of Scholl & Madsen, Inc.. in a letter dated
February 11, 2000, indicate that the proposed development on the lot will increase the
volume directed to this depression, although they identify the increase as "representing a very
minimal impact:'
3. The analysis completed by SchoeH & Madson looked at water elevations that would result
from a single 1~. 10-, or lOo-year return frequency rainfall event. This does not reflect the
true problem, as the critical duration event for such a system would not be an isolated event
but a long period of rainfall, rainfall on frozen ground, or a snow melt event.
4. The analysis completed by Schoell & Madson assumed the water elevation in the depression
before the design event Occurs to be at or very near the bottom of the depression. This
assumption cannot be assured, as the only way water from this depression can draw d.own to
this elevation is by evaporation and seepage. Unless the depression is continually pumped,
we are not coplfortable that the amount of storage predicted in the depression will, indeed. be
available.

5. Calculations developed by SchoeH & Madson indicate that if the depr~4sion is empty, the
lOO-year water elevation in this depression would reach approximately:J63.38 for a single
isolated 100-year event. Based on the contour mapping for the area, the garage and structure
immediately north oithe subject property would be inundated for this single isolated event.
6. Based on a review oithe topography of this area, it is apparent that a pipe outlet could be
installed from the bottom of the depression to the north into the ditch along Minnetonka
Boulevard. This pipe would need to be daylighted into the ditch 100+ feet north of this
parcel proposed for subdivision. This work would aiso need to be completed on property not
owned by this parcel owner. The construction of such an outlet would provide assurances
that a normal water elevation within the depression could be maintained and likely eliminate
the threat of flooding of structures on the parcel immediately north of this proposed lot split.
Based on the above considerations, we believe that the proposed subdivision and future lot
development has the potential to increase the frequency of flooding of the property immediately
north of this proposed lot split. Furthennore. we believe as part of the development of any future lot
on this parcel, it would be prudent for the City to require a positive gravity outlet to be provided
from that depression in such a marmer as to relieve the potential for flooding on the property
immediately north of this parcel. Our review further indicates that it is technically feasible for such a
project to be constrocted to take care of this problem..
It is recommended that, as a condition to the subdivision, a positive outlet be installed for this .
depression. In order for such a project to be installed, it is likely the City would need to be
petitioned to undertake this work as a public improvement project since this work could not be
completed wholly within the property owned by one property owner.
Thank you for the opportunity to assist you in this project. If you have any questions concerning
these recommendations, please do not hesitate to contact me at (612) 277-5788.

Re: State of Minnesota v. Matthew Phillippi
Hennepin County District Court File No. 27-CR-07-129076
Dear Mr. Phillippi:
I received your letter dated April 11, 2008. In response to your requests, the following
documents are enclosed:
1. Summons and Complaint filed with the Hennepin County District Court; and
2. Complaint, with Warrant attached.
As to your other requests, first, in my earlier correspondence to you, I provided a copy of the
Summons and Complaint, as well as the investigative report that is the basis for the Complaint.
Second, you have already received photographs taken by the City of Shorewood showing the.
shipping container on your property in violation of City of Shorewood Ordinances. Third, the
Complaint sent in earlier correspondence contained copies of the Ordinances that you have
violated. Fourth, if you would like a copy of the docket and transcript from earlier court
proceedings in this matter, you may request them from the Hennepin County District Court
office at Ridgedale.
Finally, the City of Shorewood will agree to exchange its list of witnesses with you at the Pretrial
Conference scheduled for April 29, 2008. Please let me know if you agree to exchange a list of
witnesses at that time.

COMPLAINT
-S r a d N i e 1 s en; Complainant, being duly sworn, makes complaint to the above-named
' Court and states that there is probable cause to believe that the Defendant committed the following
offense(s). The complainant states that the following facts establish P R08ABLE CAUSE:
Your Complainant is the Planning Director ("Directorll) for the City of
Shorewood ("CitylJ). Mr. M~tt'hew Ptlillippi ("Defendant"), owns the property
located at 21155 Minnetonka Boulevard, Shorewood, Hennepin County, Minnesota
(lIpropertyll). The Property is situated in the R-ID, Single-Family
Residential/Shoreland zoning district.
In response to neighborhood complaints, on May 17, 2007, the Director
inspected the Property of the Defendant. The Oirec'tor, observed that there
was a metal shipping container located on the Property (the IIShipping
Containerll). The Direct~r then sent BUilding Inspector, Joe Pazandak,
("Inspector'l) to photograph the Property on behalf of the City. On May 17,
2007, at approximately 4:15 p.m., the Inspector photographed the Shipping
Container, said Photographs are attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Storage of a shipping c~ntainer is not allowed as a permitted accessory
use and, therefore, constitutes a violation of Section 1201.11, Subd. 3 of
the Shorewood Zoning Code.
