Residents Comments/Survey ofWaterford MaIl Restaurant
Generic comments:
The geographies of the survey area included homeowners on Warerford Ct, Waterford PI and Warerford
Cit, Muirfield Cit, Chartwell Hill, portions of Covington Rd, Shady Hills Rd, Vine Ridge Rd. St Atbans
Bay Rd. and Excelsior Blvd. where in close proximity to mall area. This included approximately 280
residences. A random sampling size of 53 was surveyed.
Between 20 & 30% of the residents contacted were not aware of a proposed restaurant My call was the
first they had heard about it
For those uninformed it was described as a "European Family Style Restaurant" with no bar, no dance
floor.
. Residents have resided in area anywhere from 2-32 years. There did not seem to be any clear indication
that long term residents felt more strongly about this proposal than shorter term residents. I do believe, by
voice only or those with small children in background. that younger residents were less concerned about
the liquor, the music and the hours.
Many residents' response of "yes" to changing the covenant was an admission that they had no major
problem with it..not necessarily that they absolutely loved the idea.
Residents want a guarantee that the music restrictions [not beyond 50' of the front door] be enforced.
Many responded "yes", "only if that [the 50' restriction] is guaranteed". Many asked how can that
restriction be enforced?
A couple of the residents who responded "yes" to extended hours anticipated that those hours would be
consistent with other restaurants in the immediate area.
Some of the residents expressed concern over what other changes might be requested in the PUD. That if
this change is made, what is next?
Residents very appreciative of our taking time to call them.
Individual Resident Comments:
Mrs. Rosholt - has been to Vellickson's deli in SLP. Very clean. great food. nice people, lives across
street from him
Mrs. Born - Felt the destroyed trees in the area of mall was a tragedy
Mr. Dodson - There is such a huge amount of high school traffic now on Shady Hills - they zip through
the neighborhood. With many young children on the road walking to the buses, etc.. it is a great concern.
Have police monitoring this now as a result of calls made by residents.
Individual Resident Comments: cont'd.
Mrs. Vance - The PUD must be preserved. Byerly's survey was minute and not random, wants to see a
larger survey. These projects always seem to be proposed and brought before the council during the
winter months. There are many residents who are gone this time of year. Please ask how long people
have lived in community. It's the new comers who want all of this, not the people who have lived in
Shorewood a long time.
Mrs. Lesueur - We get enough traffic as it is now - it's a bad area for more business
Mrs. Nelson - The city did a horrible job with the strip mall. They need to hire someone who can look for
a real vision for the community. There isn't a vision for this community. There is the Robin Hood effect
People have given up because they don't get really listened to. Property values hurting next to townhouses
and mall. Third generation owners of properties get the concessions- get whatever they want This is just
the beginning of many sortS of restaurants, etc. to come.
Mr. Sobaski - was not aware of any restaurant
Mr. Christian - [Muirfield Circle] Residents have one issue: Big water quality problems!!
Mrs. Falck - Did not know how people in those condos tolerate the Holiday music

Mayor Tom Dahlberg'
City Council
In 19~1 I was involved in the negotiation of the development
agreement with Trivesco concerning the development of the
commercial p~operty at Old Market Road and Hwy 7. I was
representing the city and the residents of the area. We negotiated
covenants which precluded the family restaurant from applying for
a liquor license. The language used was quite clear, and I am sure
the developer understood the covenants prior to signing the
agreements.
The reason for the exclusion of the opportunity to apply for a
liquor licenSe was to proteot the residential community and was
agreed to by the developer. The area has experienced increased
traffic and to add into~icated drivers to the area is an
invitation ~o disaster. My children use silverwood Park and ehe
logical solution to protect them and other children would be to
leave the ~ovenants in pl~ce.
The developer will be back with more requests each time he thinks
the opportunity is present to make renting this space more
lucrative. He is not ooncerned with the neighborhood. The concern
is revenue.I appreciate your thoughtful oonsideration of chis
issue and hopefully you will vote for the p~eservation of this
neighborhood.

Date: February 10, 1997
Dear Council Members:
I am writing to you to encourage you not to change the covenants and allow a liquor license at
the Highway 7 and Old Market Road commercial development.
The Council made a promise to hundreds of residents of this area who attended countless
meetings when the original development was approved. The residents were very upset about
numerous issues involving this development, and the Council made a commitment to those
residents that the development would have covenants that would make it palatable. Two of those
covenants delt with hours of operation and the denial of any liquor license. Now, a short time
later, the developer is back asking the city to change the covenants for this development. There
are two problems with this. One, the developer either doesn't have enough expertise to predict
how to successfully develop his property or hasn't been forthright with the Council about what he
has intended. Second, the Council made a promise to its residents that it would be responsive to
their needs and protect them from an undesirable use of the commercial area. The city doesn't
need to bailout the developer; rather it needs to keep the promise it made to its residents.
The Council does need to be wary of and not manipulated by the developer. First the developer
says that he can make the commercial development work without the liquor license. Now he can
only make the development work with a liquor license. You can be sure that the developer will
be back again. Next time he will be asking for expanded hours, just a small bar area, or an
expansion of the definition of what type of music can be played. All city councils have been there
before. Consider two recent examples of just such tactics. Check out the Big Ten restaurant
which recently opened in downtown Hopkins. Early on the developer presented the restaurant as
a quality restaurant much like the Lunds restaurant when it first opened. The liquor license and
bar was to be quite secondary. What Hopkins got was another hamburger-pizza joint which
competes with an existing restaurant just across the street. Booths line two sides of the
restaurant; the bar is a major part of the operation. Closer to home, consider the Boyer Senior
Housing Development just north of the commercial property on Old Market Road. The package
was sold to the city as housing for seniors over 60 or 65. The age limit was lowered substantially
to 55 when the developer could not successfully market his project. One thing you can be sure of
is that this developer will be back. He may wait for the next newly elected Council, but he will be
back. Don't let the developer inch his way toward a development which strays from the original
plan. Please be firm now.
It is my understanding that some on the Council want an outpouring of residents to oppose this
development in order for them to stick to their promise to the residents. This probably won't
occur for a couple of reasons. The first reason is that the city first only notified residents within
500 feet which included a few town homes behind the commercial development. These town
homes were not even built when the Council passed the covenants for the commercial
development. The notification was then extended to 1,000 feet which still includes very few of
the residents who were so involved when the commercial development was considered. The
residents who were so upset include Sweetwater, Covington/Vine Ridge, Waterford, and
Christmas Lake. The second reason is that so many of the residents in this area attended so many
meetings to oppose the development of the current commercial development. They are worn out
and dissillusioned. People spent countless hours, a fair amount of money, and, in the end, it
didn't make any difference. The intersection went through, the commercial portion was built.
Many people may feel as I do that it is more important to take a son to piano lessons tonight and
watch a daughter play basketball at the high school. With a husband away on business, I cannot
afford to make a personal appearance.
In conclusion, I don't want you to think that the residents of this area don't care. We do care. We
want and expect that the current City Council will not vote to change the covenants and will keep
its promise to its residents. .
Thank you for taking time to read my letter and consider my comments. I do appreciate your
efforts to make the correct decision.
Sincerely,
...,~\~~ ~~-

Shorewood City Hall

Shorewood,~ 55331
Dear Mayor Dahlberg, Councilmembers Garfunkel, McCarty, O'Neill and Stover:
I have just recently learned of your consideration of the issue of changing the development
agreement for the Old Market Road commercial area to allow a potential restauranteur in
that space to apply for a liquor license. I am surprised this issue-has been so quiet--I read
the Shorewood newsletters fairly closely, and haven't seen any discussion of this issue.
As you know, one of the few--along with safe speed limits and low noise--concessions
that the developer/City made to nearby residents, was that there would never be liquor
permits for any tenants or future tenants of the commercial development.
People who made their homes in the Sweetwater/Covington Vine Ridge/Waterford areas,
at great expense, sought out land that was supposed to be on a large, safe, dead-end land
area. I was among the majority of homeowners shocked to learn that our neighborhoods
would soon be only a few feet off a major highway, and that dense housing and a "strip
mall" would adjoin us. This would never have been a problem, except that the pattern of
secrecy around this development, whoever was at fault for it, led homeowners to invest
their life savings in lots they would never, in many cases, have bought in the first place. I
should mention, the development plans were unveiled coincident with the last of the
Waterford lots being sold.
All the unfortunate history of this development behind us, whatever motivation for
throwing out this stipulation, please do not rashly make a decision that will further
degrade the peacefulness and security we had hoped would be the mark of our
neighborhoods. Please consider:
1. This will necessarily increase drinking and driving near our homes and park.
2. This will further increase the amount of traffic from outside our neighborhoods.
3. If this establishment ever closes, could a bar take that space over?
4. Could the restauranteur succeed with only a wine permit?
5. Children walk to and from the park day and evening-our main concern.
Sincerely,

Re: Waterford Commercial Area
Dear Mayor Dahlberg and Council Members:
Neither my wife nor I are able to attend the February 10. 1997
council ~ee~ing. Thus. we are writing to express our opposition
to granting of a liquor license for a proposed restaurant facility
20 the Waterford Shopping Center.
We have resided in Shorewood for .nine years. I was a member of
the Board of Directors of the Waterford Homeowner's Association
when the shopping center was planned and developed. In that
capacity I was involved in and followed closely development in the
area, particularly construction of the shopping center. Prior to
approval of the shopping center. much consideration was given to
allowed uses. Whether or not on-site consumption of alcoholic
beverages would be allowed was a matter that was debated by the
city council and the public. After careful consideration. it was
determined that if there were to be a restaurant in the shopping
center, alcoholic beverages would not be allowed. My wife.and I
still believe that this 2S the appropriate decision.
Our opposition is based upon the problems that can arise from the
use of alcohol. specifically regarding the welfare and safety of
the surrounding community. The problems that arise from the abuse
of alcohol and driving while under the influence are well
documented. We are particularly.concerned about the issue of
driving while under tbe influence because of the close proximity
to a res~dential neighborhood which draws many children to the
shopping center. Th~s draw is particularly heightened during good
weather as many children ride their bicycles or walk to the
shopping center to use the video store or shop at Holiday. Safety
concerns are heightened by the recent opening of the adjoining
dayc.are facility.

Another concern is that once a liquo.r license is granted. what
prevents expanded usage?
P.3
Recognizing that there are two sides to an issue. if on-si~e
service of alcoholic beverages is to be allowed. we suggest that
~he license be restricted. First. the license should be limited
to beer and wine. This suggestion is based upon our understanding
that the applicant wishes to serve alcohol with dinner. Hard
liquor is rarely the beverage of choice with dinner. Second.
service of alcoholic beverages should be only during the dinner
hour. say 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Third. the sale of alcoholic
beverages should not be allowed to exceed a certain percentage of
total. sales. For your information. I believe that a number of
suburbs impose this type of restriction in order to prevent a
restaurant whose primary purpose is food service ~rom becoming a
Nliquor establishment".
Thank you for your time and
Gail M. Finney

re; . NO PARKING zone on Eureka Road & Orchard Circle
Dear Larry,
We highly approve the no parking Slgns, posting and entOrcement of them immed-
iately.
I feel this is just the beginning of our neighborhoods problems and issues due to
this project. I am sure many other control issues to the developer will come up
during their rape of this beautiful property. But I am confident our neighborhood
will be very dilligent in entorcing all aspects of this development.
I would also strongly recommend the developer cleanup NlEANING daily scraping
or mechanically brushing off all the mud and debris off the paved roads due to
the construction vehicle traffic in and out of this project.
This was not done during our torced imph.cement of city water on oUr roads
driven by the Watten Ponds project and the mud and dirt packed into the remain-
ing blac1dop created dusty unbearable conditions. This must also be included in the
no parking zone requirement. This should be mandatory for all developments and
construction projects no matter how small. There . is no reason why the citizens
have to put up with mud and dirt packed into our roads. This condition must be
very harmful and eventually costly to our roads/streets.
Larry, I Will also provide copies of this .letter to our mayor and council mem-
bers prior to IVIondays council meeting
appreciate your communication,

Executive Summary
Shorewood City Council Meeting
Monday, February 10, 1997
Agenda Item 3A: The City has for many years supported the Southshore Senior Center by
allocating Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for its operation. Senior
Community Services, which manages our Center, is requesting that the Council pass a resolution
supporting the use of CDBG funding for our Center for the 1997 Hennepin County pool funds.
Agenda Item 3B: The City in the past has designated CDBG funds for housing rehabilitation
grants and loans. From time to time we are asked to authorize a subordination agreement for one
of the properties for which a loan has been made. The requested action here is a motion
authorizing a subordination agreement for the property owned by Jo.hnA. and Robert H. Levering.
Agenda Item 3C: This request for a motion approving the annual half marathon race sponsored by
Norwest Banks to transverse the City on the morning of May 4, 1997. The South Lake
Minnetonka Public Safety Department has always cooperated in this endeavor.
Agenda Item 5A: The Park Commission recommends that the City Council appoint Bill
Colopoulos as Chair Person and Dan Puzak as Vice Chair of the Park Commission for 1997. The
resolution is enclosed in the packet making said appointments.
Agenda Item 6: Vladimir Velikson's request for an amendment to the Waterford covenants and
development agreement allowing him to apply for a liquor license was tabled at the last meeting.
Council is reminded that approval requires a four-fifths vote.
Agenda Items 7 and 8: Mr. Cad Zinn represents two property owners in their requests to
subdivide their properties. Larson Estates consists of three single-family lots which have received
preliminary plat approval. The McCary Addition has received final plat approval for two lots. On
behalf of his clients, Mr. Zinn has asked that the trunk water charges for these projects be waived.
The City Attorney advises us that relieving the applicant's from the charges would require an
amendment to the current City Code. Although staff recognizes that some change will ultimately
be made to the current water policies, a decision prior to a series of study sessions on the topic is
considered to be premature. The Planning Director has recommended that the applicants move
forward with their subdivisions and request an abatement of the charges at such time as the current
policies change. As an alternative the applicants can request extensions on the deadlines for filing
their plats until the water issues are resolved. If you have any questions relative to this item, please
call Brad Nielsen prior to Monday night's meeting.
Agenda Item 9: To give area residents a greater opportunity to respond to our inquiry about the
proposed "No Parking" areas on Eureka Road and Orchard Circle, Larry Brown will give a full
report at the Council meeting on responses received. The resolution enclosed in the packet restricts
parking on a 24 hour basis on Orchard Circle and Eureka Road from 650' north of Valleywood to
Birch Bluff Road. This recommended area is different than what is suggested in the Greg Larson
letter of January 23 (also enclosed in the packet).

4. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
Ingrid Schaff, 25605 Smithtown Road, stated as of this date 24 people have died this season as the
result of snowmobile related accidents. The deaths include a 15-:year-o!4 girl and a lO-year-old
boy. She pointed out the Snowmobile Task Force recommendations have been only partially
implemented. Ms. Schaff felt the City should lobby the state to require operators to be licensed or .
possess a valid Minnesota driver's license and require a snowmobile test as well as passage of a
rider training program. She also felt the City should lobby the state to license the machines in a
way which is visible, to increase license and registration fees, as well as requiring all
snowmobilers to carry liability insurance. Ms. Schaff suggested lobbying to limit who may
operate a snowmobile in addition to where they may be operated. She suggested all DUI violations
be transferred to individual DMV records. Ms. Schaff also pointed out there was not adequate
police enforcement over the past weekend.
Ms. Schaff asked Mayor Dahlberg: Do you still see snowmobiles as not being a safety issue? She
asked Councilmember O'Neill: Do you still need yet another survey when you know trailers get
people to their locations? Ms. Schaff remarked to Councilmember Garfunkel: Perhaps it is time
for you to take a leadership role in this situation.
Ms. Schaff commented that Councilmembers McCarty and Stover have strongly supported no
motorized use on the trail which she felt was due to obvious safety concerns. She urged the
Council to be responsible and take action now.
Kirk Rosenberger, commented he is disheartened that he has not received a response relative to the
questions he asked at the previous Council meeting. He distributed a copy of his comments to the
Councilmembers. Mr. Rosenberger stated this is not a political issue, however, he is looking for
information. Councilmember O'Neill provided Mr. Rosenberger with his written response and
Mayor Dahlberg stated he is preparing a response to Mr. Rosenberger's concerns which he felt
should be addressed in some detail.

6. PLANNING - Report by Representative
Commissioner Turgeon reported on the matters considered and actions taken at the January 21,
1997, meeting of the Planning Commission (as detailed in the minutes of that meeting).
A. A Motion Regarding Amendment to the Waterford PUD Development
Agreement to Allow On-Site Alcohol Beverage
Applicant:
Location:
Vladimir Velikson
19905 State Highway 7 (Waterford
Shopping Center)
Mayor Dahlberg inquired whether any study analysis or site location research was completed at the
time of the mall development to suggest the types of businesses that would be successful in this
location. Planning Director Nielsen noted the City had not required a market study although the
developer may have undertaken this.
Mark Moore, Griffin Company, the leasing and managing agent, noted there has been some tenant
turnover, however, he felt a restaurant would be an attractive draw to the development.
Mayor Dahlberg asked why the covenant was developed prohibiting the sale of liquor. Nielsen
explained the original Waterford PUD included a prohibition of liquor. The concern at the time
was relative to a sports bar type establishment which would draw a large clientele from locations
other than Shorewood. The family restaurant provision was to preclude fast food restaurants as
well as a sports bar type establishment. The covenants specifically preclude an applicant or
property owner from being eligible to apply for a liquor license.
Councilmember O'Neill expressed concern that the covenant specifically prohibits application
being made for a liquor license. Mayor Dahlberg noted his understanding Mr. Velikson would not
be in favor of a beer and wine license. Nielsen pointed out this had been addressed at the Planning
Commission level and Mr. Velikson had expressed interest only in a liquor license with which he
could serve all types of liquor.
Mayor Dahlberg questioned the use of amplified sound and whether Mr. Velikson would be
considering a dance floor. Nielsen noted there will be amplified sound, however, there is a limit
on the decibels which can be heard within 50 feet of the establishment. He further noted he is not
aware of any plans for a dance floor. In addition, Mr. Velikson was in attendance and stated he
does not have plans for a dance floor at this time.
Mayor Dahlberg inquired whether any market research had been completed which would suggest
this could be a very successful business model. In addition, he questioned why Mr. Velikson did
not propose a family restaurant without liquor since this is what had been designated for this
particular site. Mr. Velikson felt the restaurant would be more successful with liquor sales. Mayor
Dahlberg felt if liquor sales were to make the business more successful, the primary marketing
motivation would be to promote the liquor sales. Councilmember McCarty pointed out any
advertising of liquor would be prohibited
Councilmember O'Neill questioned the capacity of the restaurant. Mr. Velikson estimated
approximately 150 people.
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JANUARY 27, 1997 - PAGE 4
Councilmember O'Neill inquired as to the hours of the restaurant. Mr. Velikson stated he would
be flexible with weekday hours, but would prefer the hours on the weekend comply with state
restrictions. Mr. Velikson stated on weekends he would like to serve food and liquor until 1:00
a.m. Planning Commissioner Turgeon pointed out there had not been discussion of a closing hour
after 11 :00 p.m. Mr. Moore stated his understanding that neither food nor liquor could be served
after 11:00 p.m. Councilmember O'Neill noted in addition to this, no new customers would be
allowed to enter the restaurant after 11 :00 p.m.
Mayor Dahlberg thanked City Staff and the Planning Commission for the notice which was sent to
the area residents with respect to this request. He expressed concern with introducing on-sale
liquor to a store front which has financial difficulties for purposes of strengthening the economy.
Councilmember O'Neill asked if the request were approved and a public outcry resulted, could a
liquor license be denied. Attorney Dean stated the Council has significant latitude in issuing liquor
licenses.
Mayor Dahlberg asked for any public comment regarding this matter at 8:14 p.m. There were no
public comments. Mayor Dahlberg pointed out letters on both sides of the" issue had been received
by the CounciL He asked if the applicant would be willing to invest additional time and money to
prove to the Council by way of analysis or site location research the residents in the area are in .
favor of this request and that the business would be successfuL Mr. Velikson stated he has a
European deli shop in St. Louis Park and the concept has been successfuL
Mayor Dahlberg remarked he would not support this request until he is more comfortable there is
support for this project in the area. He stated he would be looking for a random sampling in the
area which demonstrates clear support for the concept in the proposed location.
Mayor Dahlberg expressed concern if the business were not successful, the City would be under
pressure to adjust the covenants. Councilmember Garfunkel did not feel it was the responsibility
of the Council to ensure the success of the business. He pointed out Mr. Velikson is taking the
fmancial risk. Mr. Velikson stated he would not hold the City of Shorewood responsible if the
business should faiL Councilmember McCarty did not feel it to be the responsibility of the City to
assist Mr. Velikson with his business.
Mayor Dahlberg inquired as to the city services the shopping center is utilizing. Nielsen noted the
center is on city water and sewer. Mayor Dahlberg further inquired if the tax base in the mall were .
to disintegrate if this would be a serious deficit to the City. Nielsen explained this is a tax
increment fmanced district and at this time the taxes are repaying the TIP. Administrator Hurm
explained the private developer receives the increments and this would not affect the City until the
year 2000.
Councilmember O'Neill stated he likes the plan, but has difficulty with amending the covenant
without visible support from the community. Councilmember McCarty commented she would not
be in favor of market research being conducted. She felt the applicant had accomplished this by
reviewing and deciding upon this location. Mayor Dahlberg felt a family restaurant without liquor
should be attempted first.
Mr. Moore pointed out notices were sent to residents within 1,000 feet of the proposed site and he
did not feel another survey would result in any additional responses.
Mayor Dahlberg did not consider it inappropriate to request Mr. Velikson complete some market
research. In the absence of that information, he would rely on the agreement which is currently in
place.
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JANUARY 27, 1997 . PAGE 5
Councilmember O'Neill spoke with several people who were councilmembers at the time the
covenant was established and noted the main consideration in prohibiting liquor was to avoid a
sports bar type situation.
Councilmember McCarty pointed out a notice had been sent out to the area residents and public
hearings have been held for the purpose of obtaining public input. Councilmember O'Neill asked
to see the notice which had been sent to the residents.
O'Neill moved, Garfunkel second adjourning the meeting at 8:30 p.m. Motion
passed 4/0. Mayor Dahlberg reconvened the meeting at 8:34 p.m.
Mayor Dahlberg asked Mr. Moore if the Griffin Company would be interested in completing the
suggested research. Mr. Moore remarked that the Griffin Company is not the owner of the
business or the lessee of the property. He stated the company would not be justified in expending
funds for a market study.
Councilmember Garfunkel questioned whether future tenants would also be required to complete
the same market research to ensure the success of their businesses. . .
.
O'Neill moved, McCarty seconded tabling this matter to the February 10, 1997
meeting of the City Council. Motion passed 4/0.
Mr. Moore offered to meet with Mayor Dahlberg and Planning Director Nielsen to discuss this
matter.
B . A Motion Directing Staff to Prepare Findings of Fact Regarding a
Conditional Use Permit
Applicant:
Location:
Mitch Jones
24245 Wood Drive
.
Mrs. Jones appeared and Mayor Dahlberg asked if any concerns had been raised by surrounding
neighbors. Mrs. Jones noted she was not aware of any concerns. Councilmember O'Neill
inquired if the items stored under the large tree had been moved. Mrs. Jones explained the existing
garage floor is in poor shape and at the time the garage is completed, the items being stored under
the oak tree will be removed as soon as possible. In addition, Mrs. Jones assured the Council the
large oak tree in the front yard will not be affected.
McCarty moved, O'Neill seconded directing Staff to prepare Findings of Fact
regarding a Conditional Use Permit for Mitch Jones, 24245 Wood Drive. Motion
passed 4/0.
7. LMCD REPORT . Report by Bob Rascop
Discussion of a Resolution Regarding Vending of Food or Merchandise
from Watercraft on Lake Minnetonka
Mr. Rascop appeared and introduced himself to the Council. He noted a public hearing had been
held relative to vending of food or merchandise from watercraft on Lake Minnetonka. Due to the
responses from other cities as well as input received at the public hearing, the LMCD has decided
not the change the current code which prohibits this activity.
Mr. Rascop briefly described the LMCD and its purpose. He invited the Council to the LMCD's
Annual "Save the Lake" at Lord Fletcher's to meet with elected officials of the surrounding
communities.

8. ADMINISTRATOR & STAFF REPORTS
A. Planner's Report on Water Resources Management Policy Plan
Planning Director Nielsen explained the Metropolitan Council requires the City to review the policy
relative to water resources management. He further explained he will be receiving an updated
Planning Handbook from the Metropolitan Council for the Council's review.
B . Review of Timeline and Budget Requirements for 1997 Council
Priorities
Administrator Hurm requested the Council review the priority list and make any necessary
changes. He noted there was discussion at the Planning Commission meeting relative to burying
utility lines. The suggestion was to expand this objective to developing criteria for what can be
placed above ground as well as limitations in that regard.
Councilmember O'Neill questioned relative to the storm management plan whether $100,000 had
been budgeted for this project. City Engineer Brown noted the City has begun consulting with
various aerial photography companies in an effort to obtain specific bids. He explained the actual .
estimate at this time is $108,000. Brown stated it will take time to research this matter in terms of
possible cost cutting alternatives. Councilmember O'Neill suggested participating with a
neighboring community relative to this matter. The consensus of the Council was to direct staff to
pursue timelines which could be subject to change.
C . Review of 1996 Budget Objectives
D . Review and Consensus on Work Session Dates
Engineer Brown addressed a letter which was received from Greg Larson, president of the Eureka
Road Homeowners Association. Concerns were raised relative to potential construction traffic
from the Watten Ponds subdivision parking along Eureka Road and Orchard Circle. Mr. Larson
requested the City take immediate action in posting these areas "No parking." He requested the
parking ban on weekdays extend from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. which would reduce inconvenience
to residents. As a result, the South Lake Minnetonka Public Safety Department has been made
aware of the situation. The residents with garages fronting on Eureka Road or in close proximity .
will be given an opportunity to voice any concerns they may have. Public input will be brought
back to the Council at their next meeting.
9. MA YOR & CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
Mayor's Report on January 22, 1997 Coordinating Committee Meeting
Mayor Dahlberg reported on a meeting of the Coordinating Committee which was held on January
22, 1997. The committee voted to accept Chief Young's recommendation to hire Officer Terry
Staaf as the new police officer. Officer Staff replaced Officer Jeff Keller who became the

addition, the Orono Police Department also commented on the excellence of Office Rausch's
performance in responding to assist on a burglary. A letter was also received from Mrs. Paulson

Dear Mr. Hurm:
Re: Hennepin County Housing Rehabilitation Deferred Payment Loan Program
Enclosed is a second Subordination of the Repayment Agreement associated with
the loan for John and Robert Levering. The Leverings are in process of securing a
second mortgage on their home and the lender requires that the city's lien be
subordinated to its mortgage. Sufficient equity (almost $50,000.00) will remain to
repay the city should the agreement be triggered during the balance of the lien
period. Although the city is not obliged to agree to a subordination, it has become
standard practice throughout the County. If the city is agreeable, please have the
document executed by the Mayor and yourself and add the City Seal before
returning it to this office for transmittal to the title company.
If you have any questions, please call me at 541-7082.
Sincerely

Item #12 was taken at this point in the agenda.
7 . PARK FOUNDATION MEETING REPORT
Commissioner Dallman reported on the Park Foundation Meeting held on January 16, 1997. Of
major importance was the discussion of another Shorewood Park Festival. Due to lack of a
volunteer to coordinate the Festival, this discussion was tabled indefinitely.
Commissioner Dallman stated that another Park Foundation meeting was scheduled for March 12,
1997 to continue discussion of a concession building at Freeman Park.
Discussion of a Tournament Policy was tabled, due to the absence of a representative of the Adult
Softball organization.
8 . REVIEW 1997 COUNCIL PRIORITIES
Acting Chair Colopoulos highlighted several Council priority items pertaining to the Park .
Commission. One First Priority item, Review Trail Plan, will require some foresight as to
how to organize and conduct the review. Park Commission meetings bi-monthly may be
recommended during the review process in order to conduct study sessions involving citizens and
city staff.
Administrator Hurm stated that the Trail Plan was adopted almost five (5) years ago, and a review
of the plan should be done. Regarding Smithtown Trail, we have petitions for and against this
project. We have slightly less than $100,000 in the Trail Fund as of yearend 1996. Hurm
reported that the City Council has scheduled several work sessions to review the Capital
Improvement Program (CIP). The Park Commission may want to look at the off-street trails
identified on this plan, and to set priorities, and then start working with the people along the trails
and in the neighborhoods to develop some options.
Councilmember O'Neill suggested addressing the neighbors, asking them what their concerns are,
and how they would solve those concerns or problems. Council would like to see the Trail Plan
addressed in this format.
.
Colopoulos suggested that the Commissioners review the Trail Plan.
Commissioner Puzak voiced a concern that the Park Commission needs a common goal with the
City Council: Where are we going? Will these trails lead to something? Administrator Hurm
reiterated the fact that no goal statement for the Park Commission was included in the
Comprehensive Plan; and that a goal statement has now been developed by the Commission.
An issue in the second priority list of the City Council is consideration of options for purchasing
green space. Administrator Hurm stated that one option is to have a referendum to determine if tax
payers would like to levy tax dollars to purchase green space. Councilmember O'Neill said
another option would be to consider allowing neighborhood associations to purchase green space
privately and to check into low-interest loans to assist them. Commissioner Bensman was
concerned that we don't loose site of the maintenance costs and a constant pressure for additional
space from sports organizations when we consider funding to purchase additional green space.
Another item in a second priority list of the Council is to decide on involvement in the Watershed
District's requirement for a Wet Pond at Minnewashta School.
An item in the City Council's third Priority list is to re-evaluate snowmobile issues and to
determine the future of the implementation plan.

9 . Freeman Park Concession Trailer for 1997
.
Todd Strot, representing Adult Softball, requested information from Coke and Pepsi regarding
concession trailers for use at Freeman Park this summer. Coke was not interested; however, Pepsi
was very receptive to his request. Mr. Strot reserved a trailer from May through July 1997, with
options to continue throughout the summer months. Costs for the trailer would be $275.00/week.
This option would allow the City to gather data in which to guide the development of a permanent
concession structure. Mr. Strot would present the Park Foundation with 100% of the profits. His
motivation in giving all the profits to the Foundation are the maintenance/improvements of the
fields, and construction of benches and/or bleachers for the ball fields. Mr. Strot has had
experience with volunteers, and would rather use high school/college-aged people to staff the
concession trailer, possibly to be hired through Minnetonka Community Education Services. He
also has business contacts for purchasing food items at a low cost.
Commissioner Puzak said a decision has to be made regarding control of tbe concession building -
whether it be owned by the public sector or privately owned and operated. This will determine
how the structure itself is built; how it is managed; and the type of work staff employed.
Administrator Hurm said that data will be gathered this summer with the concession trailer. A
main question is, do you want to utilize soccer and/or softball volunteers?
After further discussion, Commissioner Dallman moved to approve of Todd Strot
proceeding to make arrangements for the Pepsi trailer: The Commission will
proceed with the Request For Proposal process and committing to having a trailer
at Freeman Park for the 1997 ball season. Commissioner Trettel seconded the
motion. Motion carried 6/0, with Puzak abstaining.
Administrator Hurm stated that the details will be worked out over the next two months between
Commissioner Dallman, Jim Hurm, Todd Strot, and Minnetonka Community Education Services
and the Shorewood Park Foundation.
.
Missy Carbonneau, Tonka United Soccer Association (TUSA), noted that the attitude has changed
within the soccer organizations and the general public as well that we need to take care of what
we've got, not just acquire more land.
Commissioner Dallman noted that the Park Foundation members were very impressed with
Missy's enthusiasm, and they are excited to continue discussion on the concession building. The
Park Foundation meeting on March 12, 1997 will be discussed at the Park Commission's March
meeting.

11. DISCUSSION OF EVALUATION OF SNOWMOBILE PROGRAM
Acting Chair Colopoulos volunteered the Park Commission to work with South Lake Minnetonka
Public Safety Department and the City of Shorewood to monitor the effects of the Snowmobile
Task Force recommendations.
Ginny Kolstad, co-chair of the 1996 Snowmobile Task Force, stated that someone needs to be
responsible for evaluation of the implementation of the snowmobile policies. Evaluation needs a
bigger body to provide oversight. The data to be utilized in the evaluation includes: violations
issued; police logs; ARS (911 calls); trail walks (observations); number of hours Officer Keller on
trails; weather report comparisons; number of tickets issued at beginning of season vs. end of
season: etc.
Administrator Hurm noted that the data collected this year would have to be compared very
carefully with data from last year because of all the different variables: No police officer last year;
more complaints last year because complaints were actively sought qut ; weather differences; etc.
What data should be used to evaluate this program? . .
. Colopoulos stated that we will try, based on the data, to determine whether these policies have or
have not worked. We will need to determine how safe is the trail based on our enforcement efforts.
Acting Chair Colopoulos moved, Dallman seconded, to table review of the police
report segment of this discussion until the Commission's next meeting. Motion
carried unanimously.
12. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
This item was moved to be addressed following item #6. There were no matters from the floor, as
the citizens present were waiting for specific agenda items.
13. ESTABLISH NEXT MEETING DATE
.
The next regular meeting of the Park Commission will be on Tuesday, February 25, 1997 at 7:30
p.m.

Re:
Snowmobile Rule Enforcement
First we would like to thank you for your personal involvement in the Snowmobile Task
Force deliberations. The information gained by both the Task Force members and yourself
resulting from your attending the Task Force meetings is invaluable. We also appreciate
the continued involvement of you and the Department in the enforcement efforts of our
program.
As you know it is important that the rules be rigorously enforced in Shorewood. It is
important the Police Department fully understand that infractions of the Snowmobile rules
cannot be tolerated. Our educational efforts include a mailing to snowmobile owners in the
55331 zip code and a city-wide newsletter mailing refers to "zero" tolerance. It is the police
Departments job to implement this policy.
There are other specific Task Force recommendations which are in various levels of
implementation that need to be communicated to you. They are:
. There will be no "side trail" along the LRT this year.
. Although at this time Freeman park will not have "groomed" trails, there will be areas
marked and parking designated with a portable toilet for non-snowmobile winter
activity. The Department should be aware of this and patrol Freeman Park with this in
mind.
. The ordinance does not address public access. However, to promote safety at Timber
Lane, the Public Works Department will direct snowmobiles to enter and exit the trail at
one location.
. The City has purchased and worked with you to equip a snowmobile for enforcement
purposes. Appropriate clothing has been purchased.
. Enforcement of the ordinance is the responsibility of the entire department. The
Shorewood Officer's schedule will be flexible to cover peak snowmobiling times.
Several officers will have the ability to operate the department snowmobile. Some
snowmobile patrol time may have to be on an overtime basis.
. All Department personnel need to be fully trained on Shorewood laws and "zero
tolerance" expectations. Shorewood Officer Jeff Keller is working with you on this
training program.
Snowmobile Rule Enforcement
November 21, 1996
Page 2 of 2
. Officer Keller will coordinate utilization of enforcement equipment such as radar and
decibel meter and joint enforcement efforts with other agencies and the snow patrol.
. The DNR will train one officer, and eventually two, to be trainers for a snowmobile
safety training class at City Hall.
. The Department will work with the City Engineer and Public Works Department on
markings for property owners with trespass concerns.
. The patroling officers should keep Public Works informed on any damage to signage.
. Suggestions for additional signage should go to the City Administrator.
. You are communicating with the Carver County Sheriff s office to coordinate
enforcement of the ban on snowmobiles in Cathcart Park. Our Department will patrol
the area an coordinate enforcement.
. Officer Keller will work with you on a reporting format which will provide good,
uniform information on all enforcement activity to assist with program evaluation.
. The attached resolution clarifies where snowmobiles can be ridden on Shorewood
lakes.

ROLL CALL
Present:
Chair Borkon; Commissioners Champa, Foust, Kolstad, Lizee, Pisula, and
Turgeon; Council Liaison O'Neill; Planning Director Nielsen and Administrator Jim
Hurm.
.
Chair Borkon welcomed Roger Champa as the newest member of the Planning Commission.
Planning Director Nielsen noted the nomination of a Chair and Vice Chair should be added to the
agenda.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Pisula moved, Turgeon seconded approving the January 7, 1997, Planning
Commission Meeting Minutes as amended on Page 1, Roll Call, change to Council
Liaison O'Neill (left for Council Meeting at 7:35 p.m.); Page 1, Item 1,

Paragraph 5, Sentence 1, change "work" to "root"; Page 4, Paragraph 4, change

1. APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE W ATERFORD P.U.D.
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO ALLOW ON-SITE ALCOHOL
BEVERAGE - REVIEW DRAFT RESOLUTION
.
Applicant: Vladimir Velikson
Location: 19905 State Highway 7 (Waterford Shopping Center)
Chair Borkon inquired what would happen if another restaurant would come into this site
requesting something different such as a bar. Planning Director Nielsen stated the new applicant
would need to follow the same process which was followed by Mr. Velikson which would include
a public hearing, and if the Council felt it appropriate, the Protective Covenant and the P.D.D.
would be amended. Nielsen noted the applicant is still required to apply for a liquor license which
is issued annually. He further pointed out the license does not attach to the property, but rather to
the owner of the business.
Commissioner Foust questioned the hours of operation and whether Mr. Velikson is clear the
establishment must close at 11:00 p.m. Chair Borkon suggested the provision be amended to
specify the hours of "restaurant" operation to be from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Commissioner
Champa felt the language was clear and did not need further clarification. Commissioners
Turgeon, Foust, Lizee and Pisula felt wording of the amendment to be acceptable as drafted.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
JANUARY 21, 1997 - PAGE 2
Commissioner Kolstad suggested making the amendment conditional to the request at hand. She
expressed concern this amendment would become the new base for future changes which could
become incrementally broader. Nielsen pointed out this amendment does become the base of
future requests, however, any further changes would need to become an amendment to the
Protective Covenants and P.D.D.
Turgeon moved, Pisula seconded to adopt the Amendment to the Waterford
P.U.D. Development Agreement to allow on-site alcohol beverage. Motion
passed 6/1. Borkon was the dissenting vote.
2. REVIEW COUNCIL PRIORITIES CHECKLIST
Planning Director Nielsen and Council Liaison O'Neill reviewed a priority checklist which has
been established by the City Council. Chair Borkon commented the more specific the Council can
be on their requests of the Planning Commission, the easier it will be for the Commission to
address those issues.
Council Liaison O'Neill explained the Council will be considering whether the current City Water .
system should continue to expand in addition to several other options. .
Chair Borkon noted the storm water management plan listed as a top priority item. Nielsen
explained the Watershed District requires the City have a storm water management plan.
Chair Borkon asked if the South Lake cities have any plans for joint endeavors in the future.
Council Liaison O'Neill stated the consensus of the Council is to have the Mayor and one
Councilmember meet with other elected officials of the surrounding municipalities at various times
throughout the year to improve relations and possibly work together on future projects.
Chair Borkon questioned why the City has not explored business opportunities other than the
liquor business. Nielsen explained it was the view of the past Council that the City should not
compete with private enterprise. Chair Borkon did not feel the liquor business to be a family type
enterprise and felt a revenue generating business geared toward family would be more appropriate.
With respect to senior housing, Council Liaison O'Neill commented the Council would like to
review this issue relative to the Livable Communities Act. He explained there has been some .
discussion with the City of Excelsior to consider the possibility of working together on this matter.
Council Liaison O'Neill expects the snowmobile issues and implementation plan to be addressed in
the spring at the end of the snowmobile season. Commissioner Champa felt this would be
addressed by the State Legislature in the near future. Chair Borkon stated she would like to see
Shorewood be proactive relative to this issue and expressed concern for safety when mixing
pedestrians and snowmobiles.
Commissioner Kolstad did not feel anyone was really working on a solution to the problem and
felt compromises would need to be made along the way on both sides of the issue. Chair Borkon
asked if the snowmobile issue could be listed as a higher priority. Council Liaison O'Neill
explained at the end of the season, he would like to evaluate the plan and review this issue at that
time. He commented there is a substantial amount of information which was gathered by the Task
Force which he would like to review.
Commissioner Kolstad pointed out one of the recommendations of the Task Force was for the
Planning Commission to review the lake access points and suggested completion of that study
would be helpful to the City Council.

Chair Borkon asked if information relative to snowmobile accidents would be provided to the
Council. Administrator Hurm responded City Staff will provide that information. Chak Borkon
Commissioner Turgeon asked if the back up officer had been trained to patrol by snowmobile and
Hurm noted there are two officers who have been trained in this regard.
Commissioner Kolstad felt it would be helpful to have a list and tentative schedule of matters to be
considered by the Commission.
3. NOMINA TION OF CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR
Foust moved, Turgeon seconded nomination of Vice Chair Pisula to the position
of Chair. Motion passed 6/1. Pisula abstained.
Lizee moved, T1:lFgeoB Foust seconded nomination of Commissioner Turgeon to
the position of Vice Chair. Motion passed 611. Turgeon abstained.
Chair Borkon noted the nominations for Chair and Vice Chair will "come before the City Council
for their consideration on January 27, 1997. "
4. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
Greg Larson, 25535 Orchard Circle, expressed concern relative to construction at Watten Ponds
and requested Eureka and Orchard Circle be posted "No Parking" for the duration of the
construction and that the area be patrolled and restrictions enforced. Chair Borkon felt this should
be brought to the attention of the City Council. Planning Director Nielsen responded it would be
appropriate to submit a written request to the Council. Administrator Hurm suggested possibly
restricting the hours of no parking so as not to inconvenience the local residents.
Mr. Larson also referred to the Watten Ponds Development Agreement and noted in his opinion the
agreement is weak and does not reflect what was discussed at the public hearing. He did not see a
reference in the agreement or City Code as to who is accountable for enforcement of this
agreement. Mr. Larson stated he would also like to see a provision where a formalized reporting
function is required in written and verbal form on a regular basis by the person responsible for
enforcement.
Planning Director Nielsen stated there are various staff on the site reviewing various pieces of the
project. He felt possibly the project could be reviewed at the weekly staff meetings.
Commissioner Champa suggested a citizen group could watch this project. Mr. Larson did not feel
this should be the responsibility of the citizens, but rather a member of City Staff.
Commissioner Champa felt a contractor should be agreeable to allowing a citizen to monitor the site
for compliance with the Development Agreement. Commissioner Turgeon pointed out the
contractor can refuse to allow a citizen on the site. She stated if there is a problem on the site, City
Staff should address this. If a resident notices a violation, they should contact City Staff for
enforcement. Mr. Larson felt the responsibility should be given to a staff person.
Commissioner Kolstad inquired as to how much time would be required to accomplish this type of
enforcement. Nielsen responded he has committed to making weekly inspections of the site. In
addition, other City personnel make inspections of the site. In the event of a violation, Nielsen
explained that work on the site will be stopped until violations are corrected.
Commissioner Kolstad asked if weekly inspections are adequate. Nielsen did not feel this was
sufficient, however, an OSM inspector is on the site every day work is in progress. Hurm
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
JANUARY 21, 1997 - PAGE 4
suggested providing the inspector with a check list of things to look for. Council Liaison O'Neill
suggested in projects of a particular size, such as in excess of four lots, there could be a plan to
oversee these projects with varying inspection times. City staff will review and coordinate this
monitoring.
Mr. Larson raised a concern relative to a building permit to be issued for a single family home to be
built east of Eureka and north of Nelsine drive on a site which has been prone to flooding. He
commented mitigation of flooding after the building is built will come at the expense of the
wetland.
Mr. Larson stated that although the Planning Commission is not responsible for the issuing of
building permits, the Commission does have jurisdiction of the flood plain which is set too low.
He related his understanding that it is the opinion of the Army Corp of Engineers, the Watershed
District, and the DNR that the flood plain is set too low.
Planning Director Nielsen commented there is a flood plain ordinance and the City abides by that
ordinance. In addition, concerns relative to this matter show be brought to the attention of City
Engineer Larry Brown. If Brown makes a determination which someone wishes to dispute, it .
would be necessary to have a rationale for the dispute and good information the determination
should be reviewed. The dispute should then be brought before the City Council.
Mr. Larson explained the ordinary high water level to be 929.4. The flood plain for Lake
Minnetonka is 931.5, for a difference of 2.1 feet. The ordinary high water level for this flood
plain is designated by the DNR to be 931.5. The City of Shorewood has determined the flood
plain to be 931.5 which is the exact level of the ordinary high water level. Mr. Larson further
explained the DNR has determined in a wetland such as this, the difference between the ordinary
high water level and the flood plain should be between 1.5 to 2 feet. He requested the City
Engineer resolve this issue with the DNR and other agencies. Nielsen noted Engineer Brown has
agreed to meet with Ceil Strauss of the DNR to discuss this matter.
Council Liaison O'Neill stated he is meeting with Engineer Brown to discuss this issue and Mr.
Larson was invited to attend this meeting.
Commissioner Champa inquired as to who determines the flood plain. Nielsen stated the City
Engineer would determine this. An insurance rate study was completed in 1982 which set the base .
elevations for much of the community. Nielsen noted his understanding that a flood study can be
ordered on an individual property.
Commissioner Champa stated the flood plain issue affects more than a single family resident. He
expressed concern if the flood plain is not correct and data proving this is found within the City,
the matter should be reviewed.
Commissioner Turgeon noted this has never been an issue brought before the Planning
Commission and did not want it to be assumed this is a Planning Commission issue. She
expressed concern relative to wasting Mr. Larson's time since this is not a project before the
Commission and at this point is out of the hands of the Commission. Commissioner Turgeon
requested Mr. Larson receive some assistance in this matter.
Commissioner Kolstad did not feel it was inappropriate for the issue to be brought before the
Commission, however, whether or not it falls within the Planning Commission's jurisdiction is a
different matter.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
JANUARY 21, 1997 - PAGE 5
Mr. Larson felt the flood plains are an issue which the Planning Commission should take an
interest in. Chair Borkon noted that at this point, it is up to the City Engineer, however, the
Planning Commission would be happy to address it if it is brought back for their consideration.
Ingrid Schaff, 25605 Smithtown Road, stated relative to Triax, she would like to see competition
which would perhaps result in improved service.
.
With respect to snowmobiles, Ms. Schaff requested this matter not wait to be addressed until the
season is over. She felt it important to keep active on this issue and review monthly reports from
the sheriff, Hennepin County, the police department and the water patrol. If there are continual
problems, nothing can be done about them in the summer. Ms. Schaff stated there is enough data
to reflect the fear and safety concerns of the residents.
Chair Borkon suggested a decision be made now on what information to put together to present to
the Council relative to the snowmobile issue. She inquired as to who will be compiling this
information. Administrator Hurm noted the same data which was provided to the Task Force,
such as 911 complaints, will be supplied to the Council. Chair Borkon felt it would be important
to have county and state statistics as well.
5. REPORTS

RESOLUTION NO. 97-XX
A RESOLUTION "EAU de KIRK" ( ... or "Blame It on Iowa")
WHEREAS, Commissioner Lizee stated, on the highway of life, Kirk is our centerline,
never to define him as middle of the road, but where one can determine definite comings and
goings, positive and negative energy flow. Don't cross it unless you're sure of what's around the
bend. Right or wrong? Nay, say I, only in the way we approach our deliberation can one
appreciate the Kirkster's modus operandi, never is he the one to remain neutral as passion is his
middle name. One knows where one stands with him, and having entertained both sides of that
fence, must admit that I have learned much from him and appreciate his style. Conflict can be
educational. Perhaps it is his training that allows him to instinctively follow the fall line. Smoke
jumper, back country skier, adventure man, wonder if he's ever heli-skied? Certainly more
adventures will he consider and he will continue his direct route. Style is everything. Doan'ch ya
know?; and .
WHEREAS, Commissioner Foust stated, the Planning Commission recognizes that Kirk is
from Iowa; and WHEREAS Kirk must think we're all from Iowa for as many times as he
reminded us he's from Iowa; and
WHEREAS, Chair Borkon stated, you are a tobacco-chewing dumb boy from Iowa, your
words, not mine, but I am in total agreement with you as always; and WHEREAS, we've never
seen you really standing up straight secondary to a spherical procedure, and WHEREAS, you are a
hard line, democratic bureaucrat, you will truly be missed, especially your views on senior
housing; and
WHEREAS, Commissioner Turgeon stated, there are certain facts about Kirk that cannot
be argued:
A. He is from Iowa;
B . Garbage is his life;
C. He thinks salted nut rolls, Snapple ice tea and chew constitute a food group; .
D. He finds 10,000 square foot homes personally offensive;
E. And to reiterate the words Kirk used during many a public hearing, "You're done."
We will miss you and your bottom line, "just the facts" way of conducting business; and
WHEREAS, Commissioner Pisula stated, the Kirkster is absolutely, positively,
indubitably, without a doubt, one of the most political human beings I have ever encountered in my
47 years on this planet; (Commissioner Foust inquired what Commissioner Pisula did with the
other five years.); and
WHEREAS, Commissioner Kolstad stated, we like you and we'll miss you; and
WHEREAS, Commissioner Champa stated, a minion is now sitting in your chair.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, Planning Director Nielsen declared, your being
on the Planning Commission truly was a beautiful thing.

6 February 1997
Requests for Waiver of Water Trunk Charges - Larson and McCary
405 (96.09 and 95.35)
Item numbers 7. and 8. of the 10 February Council Agenda are requests by Carl Zinn, a
local realtor representing Stephen Larson and Tom McCary, to waive the trunk water
charges for his clients' respective subdivision requests. The City Attorney advises us (see
his letter, dated 5 February 1997 - attached) that the City would need to amend the City
Code to consider such a waiver.
While it is expected that the Council will ultimately make changes to current policies relative
to City water, study sessions discussing this topic have yet to be held. It is staffs
understanding that the Council wants fmal decisions relative to water to be made by the full
CounciL That being the case it may be premature to act on Mr. Zinn's requests.
. The status of the two plats is as follows:
1 . Larson Estates has been given preliminary plat approval and must submit a fmal plat
by 24 June 1997. The trunk water charge is addressed with the final plat.
2. The McCary Addition has been given fmal plat approval and a 90-day extension to
record the plat by 19 March.
Since the ramifications of amending the Code extend well beyond these two applications, it
is recommended that no action be taken until the water policies have been reviewed in their
entirety. If the applicants wish to record their subdivisions before a final decision can be
made, it is recommended that they petition the City to assess the charges initially and abate
the charges if the City Council amends the Code later this year.
As an alternative the applicants could simply request extensions on their current approvals
until a fmal decision on water charges has been made.

RE: "Waiver" of Tnlllk Charge
Dear Brad:
'.:~' :
Section 903.18 of the ShorewoodCode imposes a trunk charge as part of the unit method
formula to be applied in making sewer .a.ricf -Xat~r assessments; The charge is applicable to newly
created lots or units; arid is "due at the. tiirt{~ new lot is created, a zoning action is taken, or a
building permit is issued that creates additional units."
The council agenda for Monday contains two matters which are characterized as requests
for the waiver of trunk charges. Section 903.18 which imposes the charge contains no provision
which either authorizes or delineates standards for waivers of the charge.
.
You have asked for my opinion, whether, under those facts, the city council has the legal
authority to grant the requested waivers.l
Based upon the information provided, it is my opinion that a waiver to the trunk charge
can not be granted unless the ordinance which creates the obligation to pay the charge also
describes circumstances in which the charge need not be imposed.
Consequently, it would be my opinion that the requested action may not be legally taken
until after Section 903.18 is amended.
I have used the tenn "waiver" throughout this opinion. with some rcscrvalinn. Waiver lends to
suggest the forgiveness of a charge which would actIJ.'llly he imposed ahsentthc waiver. I have doubl'i whether this
would ever be appropriate in the puhlic improvcmcnt contcxt. My usc of thc tcrm is intcndcd to deal with situations
in which the circumstances would not give rise to the imposition of the fee at all.

Mr. Larry Brown
City of Shorewood

Shorewood., Minnesota 55331
Dear Mr. Brown:
As instrUcted by the Planning Commission on January 21, we are fonnalIy requesting that Eureka Road
and Orchard Circle be posted with temporary no parking signs for the duration of the Watten Ponds
subdivision construction.
.
We are very concerned with safety for vehicles entering Eureka Road and for pedestrians and vehicles
traveling on Eureka and Orchard Circle. Last summer, during watermain construction, these roadways
were often constricted and blocked by constrUction vehicles, equipment and materials.
.:
Dangerous conditions created by private subdivision constrUction will simply not be tolerated by the
neighborhood. We will not let the safety of our residents and our children be sacrificed for the
convenience of the land development company.
In addition to posting, we expect that the area will be regularly patrolled and that the parking restrictions
will be strictly enforced.
It might make sense to limit the parking ban to weekdays from 7:00 A.M. to 6;00 P.M. to reduce the
inconvenience to residents. We think the posting on Eureka should extend from 150 feet south of Birch . .
Bluff to the intersection of Valley Wood and on Orchard Circle west of the circle itself.
.
We expect immediate action on this matter as construction is imminent.

Thi.s is a very short dead d cul.-de-sac which is ful~y developed
for residen1:ia~ use. The entrance is short and the cu~-d'e-sac
small enough that if vahi..c 8 were parked there, it wou~d be very
difficuJ. t for veh.i.c~es general and emergency vehic~es in
pa::eticuJ.ar, to neqot.iate th turn. FroJa a public safety aspect it
does not make any differe ce if the vehicles are located there
because of a construction p oject or a resident.iu house party. If
publ.ic safety .La the reas n being used for the restrictions, I
think the park.incJ restricti n should not be time sensitive so that
it would re~ly apply only 0 the construction vehicles.
Obviously, I was there when t snow cover was deep. This made the
observat;Lons somewhat limited. The actual condi.tions that may be
encountered during the. construe ion season may affect these proposed
restrictions. It would be my ess, however, that the area avai.lable
for parki.ng and safe operation 0 motor vehicles would only be increased
when the snow melts.
Another problem that has been experienced in the past wlUch also
supports no parking in residenti areas is the possible property damage .
to residential lawns. In an eff rt to get off the road far enough for
safe vehicle passage, many times onstruction workers will actually pull
onto the lawn areas a short dis ance with the passenger side tires of
their vehicles. This can cause unsightly damage, particularly during
wet weather, that the property owner lI11.lSt repair. Short of reqular
height curb and gutter, there i really no way to prevent this other
than par~g restr~ctions.
Lastly, I would like to thank Mr. Lar50n for bringing his concexn to the
city pri.or to the actual probl developing-. This allows for better
planning and di.scussion of rams es rather than being forced to deal
with a situation which has alrea :y caused many problems.

Christmas Lake Management Plan
June, 1996
Executive Summary
l\fission Statement
Our mission is to improve the water quality of Christmas Lake by trying to recreate
the natural state of the lake before agricultural and residential development. The natural
state should include predevelopment chemical make up, aquatic plant and animal
populations, and natural type shore vegetation. We will attempt t6 nnance our program
through homeowner participation and public grants. .
.
Watershed Characteristics
~ Christmas Lake's watershed is approximately 410 acres (based on maps from the Cities
of Shorewood and Chanhassen).
~ Watershed land use is dominated by single family residential lots and also includes
wetlands, and wooded areas. Much of the surrounding watershed has large residential lots
with well established vegetation.
.
Lake Data from 1908-1994
~ Christmas Lake is 257 acres in area (based on MnDNR fishery reports) with a mean
depth of 37 feet and is located in Hennepin and Carver Counties, Minnesota.
~ Water quality sampling goes back to 1946 and lake observations date back to 1908.
Routine sampling was conducted in the 1980s and in 1994 and 1995. In the last two years,
field measurements and surveys have been made by the City of Chanhassen, the MnDNR,
and Ecosystem Strategies. Chemical analysis has been conducted by Braun Intertec.
Lake Trends
Oxygen and Temperature: Christmas Lake temperature profiles indicate that the
thennocline is strongly formed. Dissolved oxygen generally is found throughout the lake's
upper water (epilimnion) in the summer months. The oxygen levels get near zero in the
lower waters (hypolimnion) in summer. Oxygen depletion L'l the deep water has been
found on several occasions in the past-1959 and 1973.
Water Clarity: Secchi disc data show Christmas Lake has consistently experienced
average summertime transparencies of around 20 feet.
1
Nutrients: Average summer phosphorus concentrations on the surface ranged from 2 -
25 ppb (parts per billion) over the last 30 years. In the 1990s, total phosphorus has been
less than 20 ppb with a range of concentrations between 15 to 25 ppb.
Algae: The algae biomass was quantified by examining chlorophyll in the water column.
Chlorophyll measurements generally ranged from 1 to 5 ppb.
Aquatic Plants: Christmas Lake has a diverse native aquatic plant community with 19
different plant species including two exotic species, curlyleaf pondweed (Potamogeton
crispus) and Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicarum). In 1995, Eurasian
watermilfoil had colonized a small area: eradication attempts are ongoing. Curlyleaf
pondweed has been identified as a problem and its population is being monitored.
FJSh: Christmas Lake has a two-story fishery with wanilw3.ter fish such as sunfish and bass
in the upper water and cold water fish, primarily rambow trout, in the bottom water. Only.
a few lakes in the metropolitan area feature a two-story fishery. Trapnet results show that
bluegill sunfish are the most numerous of the panfish and gamefish members.
Approximately 4,400 adult and 4,300 yearling exotic rainbow trout have been stocked
since 1986.
Water Resources and Lawn Care Survey
~A water resources survey was prepared by the staff from the City of Chanhassen with
guidance from members of the Christmas Lake Association to find out what the general
view of Christmas Lake is and what lawn care techniques are practiced. It was mailed to
104 residents and 62 surveys were returned. .
~ Nearly 70% of the respondents use a natural vegetative buffer between their property
and the shoreline, wetland, or stream.
"About 50%. of the lake residents apply fertilizer to their yards, and about 40% use
pesticides or herbicides.
.-Projects will be developed to assist residents in the selection of application of lawn
chemicals that are appropriate for promoting the lakes conditions.
.
II
Estimated Phosphorus Inputs to Christmas Lake
Phosphorus comes into the water column of Christmas Lake from a variety of sources. The
chart below lists estimates from six sources. Under current conditions, about 500 pounds of
phosphorus per year comes into the water column. With implementation of proposed projects, about
400 pounds per year would come into the water column. This would be a 20% reduction and should
help protect the water quality of Christmas Lake.

Christmas Lake Eeosystem Overview
~ Christmas Lake stands out among lakes in the metropolitan area due to its above average
water clarity and relatively low phosphorus concentrations. Therefore criteria used in
setting parameters for pollution control are lake-specific.
~ Based on lake phosphorus concentrations of between 12 to 20 ppb, a typical summer
transparency in a typical lake should be between 8 to 13 feet. The summer average in
ChristmaS Lake is usually over 20 feet. The above average transparency may be due, in
part, to zooplankton feeding on the algae, which helps keep the lake clear.
.. To maintain good water clarity in ChristmaS Lake, a combination of watershed projects
and lake projects are appropriate. The watershed projects will help prevent excessive
nutrient and sediment levels from getting into Christmas Lake. Lake projects will help
protect the zooplankton population and address aquatic plant nuisance conditions,
especially from the two exotic plants.
