south and southwest. Even though the multiple family area is adjacent
to the existing Shady Hills neighborhood, the two areas are separated
by topography and an open space buffer along the east side of the
Trivesco project. This buffer could be enhanced, if necessary, through
landscaping.
From an environmental standpoint the concept plan takes advantage of
the poor soils and proximity to Highway 7 for its higher intensity areas.
As mentioned in their P.U.D. booklet, the more intensive uses can better
support the development costs of overcoming the soil problems. Large
lot single family residential on the southern portions of the site
take advantage of the dramatic changes in topography and vegetation.
Done properly, the development results in minimal site alteration.
Aside from the commercial area along Highway 7, the density for the
multiple-family portion of the project is 6.75 units per acre. The
single-family portion of the site contains 1.3 units per acre. Although
the development concept is considered consistent with the Shorewood
Comprehensive Plan and good planning principles in general, there will
undoubtedly be questions relative to the proposed commercial development
and the specifics of density. In this regard it is fairly easy to make
subjective decisions based on emotions, personal preferences and
political pressures. While these things will never be eliminated, it
is hoped that the City will consider more objective criteria, specifically
the capacity of supportive facilities to accommodate the development.
The acceptability of the commercial development and the proposed multiple-
family density depends upon the resolution of two major issues, 1) access
to Highway 7, and 2) water. Both of these will be discussed in greate~
detail, particularly access to the highway, in subsequent sections of
this report. For purposes of this section suffice it to say that if
these issues can be resolved, the objective criteria of acceptability
will have been satisfied.
Proposed Zoning.
Consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the developer has proposed to
develop the project through planned unit development zoning. As mentioned
at the informal presentation of the proposal, the developer provides
the City with a tremendous advantage by having assembled three large
parcels of land. This allows the City to more easily address and plan
for the provision of the new intersection and proposed collector street
and possibly the provision of water. In the event the project is not
carried out as approved, P.U.D. zoning provides the City with greater
control than conventional zoning. In such a case the property reverts
back to its original zoning.
The developer's control of the three parcels also provides him with
assurance as to how the multiple-family and commercial areas will be
developed. Presumably he would not build anything that would adversely
affect his own single-family lots.

MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRAD NIELSEN
DATE: 18 JUNE 1984
RE: TRIVESCO - PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
FILE NO.: 405 (84.05)
At the 11 June Council meeting the Council asked to see how the Comprehensive Plan
amendment proposed by Trivesco, Inc. would look in written and graphic form. As
I mentioned at the meeting, the amendment could be as simple as redrawing the
Proposed Land Use map to reflect the uses and densities proposed within the project,
or it could also involve specific rewording of portions of the text.
There are two elements of Shorewood's Comprehensive Plan which are affected by the
Trivesco proposal. Report No.4, Policy Plan/Development Framework, dated September
1981 deals with, among other things, land use and transportation. Report No.8,
Transportation Plan, dated October 1980, deals specifically with transportation.
The first page to be changed in Report No. 4 should be page 75 - the Proposed Land
Use map (see Exhibit A, attached). Exhibit B illustrates the land use pattern for
the area in question, incorporating that which is proposed by Trivesco. It should
be noted that the proposed land use pattern is consistent with the Concept Plan
section of the Comprehensive Plan (see pages 53-58).
Page 77 contains general written desciptions for various commE:rcial areas within
the community. The last paragraph on that page describes the Vine Hill Road/
Highway 7 area:
"The area in the vicinity of the Vine Hill Road/Highway 7 intersection is
primarily neighborhood and convenience type commercial. No change in use nor
expansion of the commercial zoning is proposed for this area."
The following change is proposed:
"The a/1.ea -in :the v-ici.n-i.:ty of- :the V-ine H-ill 'Road/H-igilway 7 -in:tvl/Jec.:tJ..on -i-1

It should be noted that additional detail will be proposed in the Area Plan to be
discussed further on in this report.
The next page to be changed is page 91 - the Transportation Plan (see Exhibit C,
attached). Exhibit D illustrates, the revised Transportation Plan for the area in
question~. The accompanying text to that map is found on page 93 and currently
reads:
"In addition to Eureka Road, it is suggested that Vine Hill Road be carefully
considered for collector status. Vine Hill Road is viewed as being an important
north-south route for the eastern portion of the community, forming a desirable
link between Highway 7 and the proposed Highway 62 crosstown route (see minor
arterials). While little development in Shorewood has impacted traffic on
Vine Hill Road (with the exception of the Vine Hill Road/Highway 7 intersection),
high density residential development in Minnetonka has had some influence on
traffic volume. It is felt that development in the eastern section of the City
will be influenced by the ultimate design of Vine Hill Road. Upgrading of
Vine Hill Road will necessitate a redesign of its intersection with Highway 7.
This intersection has been a subject of considerable concern to the City. The
City Engineer has submitted several alternative designs for the area which would
improve the existing situation, however, the City has, at this point, taken no
further action. It is strongly recommended that in its detailed facilities
plan for transportation, the City re-examine the Engineer's alternatives and also
the possibility of realigning the section of Vine Hill Road north of Highway 7
to connect straight southward. Whatever improvements are decided upon will
have to involve the Minnesota Department of Transportation."
The following change is proposed:

The preceding changes should also be incorporated into the Transportation Plan
(page 12).
The last section of the Plan affected by the Trivesco proposal is the Area Plan
for Planning District 13 found on page 120. The proposed development is not
considered to be in conflict with this section which reads:
"While the overall residential density of the District has been proposed as one
to two units per acre, the City recognizes that property adjacent to Highway 7
may not be appropriate for such use. In this regard, a somewhat higher density
residential use (three to six units per acre) or low intensity nonresidential
use (e.g. offices or other low traffic-generating commercial uses) may be
considered acceptable for development of the Highway 7 "corridor". Some sort
of planned unit development may be the best means of creating a desirable
transition from Highway 7 southward into lower density residential development
in the interior of the District. Wetlands and natural areas could be preserved
by clustering residential units.
As mentioned in the Transportation Plan, development of District 13 must relate
to two transportation issues: 1) improvement of the Vine Hill Road/Highway 7
intersection, including access via the southern service road of Highway 7
and 2) construction of the Highway 62 Crosstown route from Highway 101 to
Interstate 494. In reviewing any development request for the area in question
the issue of access must be addressed."
The City may wish, however, to revise the text as follows:

It is suggested as a matter of procedure that the changes, as may be modified by
the Council, should be made part of a resolution and incorporated into an appendix

based on the following premises:
(1) The single family lots shall be assessed for the cost
of a 28 foot paved road, with the remainder costs of
-- oversizing up to and connecting to the frontage road to be
spread against the multiple-family and commercial portions
of the property.
(2) City shall pursue the availability of outside funding
sources for the funding of the Old Market Road/Highway 7
intersection improvement.
(3) Developer shall share costs by means of reasonable
right-of-way dedication for intersection construction and
agrees to accept a proportionate assessment of construction
costs.
Developer, its heirs, successors, and assigns, shall not
(except upon written approval of City) transfer any property or
portion thereof that is the subject of the Agreement before the
entire improvement cost for Phase I is assessed against the property
wi thout. -payment of a sum equivalent to the amount to be assessed,
under and pursuant to this Agreement. If any such transfer is made
before the special assessments have been levied, Developer shall pay
City the sum of cash equal to the amount estimated by the City
Engineer for the special assessment for the property to be
transferred. Developer shall be liable to City for any deficiency
between the estimated assessment and the actual levied assessment.
City shall pay Developer any overage arising from payment based on
such estimate. Hereinafter, any reference to special assessments
shall include any such estimated special assessments. Within ten
(10) days after execution of the Purchase Agreement between
Developer, its heirs, successors, and assigns, and a buyer for any
purchase of a property within the benefitted area, Developer, its
heirs, successors, and assigns hereby agree to notify the City Clerk
in writing in duplicate of the name and address of the purchaser, the
date of the Purchase Agreement, and the legal description of the
property purchased. City hereby reserves the right to call the
attention of the buyer to the provisions of this Agreement~
In the event Developer fails to pay after 180 days from the
due date, any installment of special assessments for a particular lot
or lots within a Phase, and if such lot or lots constitute a quantity
in excess of ten per cent (10%) of the total number of lots in said
Phase, City at its option, and in addition to its rights and remedies
hereunder, may declare all the unpaid special assessments levied on
all property that is subject to this Agreement, due and payable in
full, and immediately may commence legal action against Developer to
collect the entire unpaid balance, including reasonable attorney's
fees, and shall not be obligated to issue a building permit for
construction on any lot within the development property.
