Upcoming Absences
Mar 8-26 - Pat Meisel - personal time off
Mar 26-30 - Kandis Hanson - personal time off
Attorney's costs - As a cost savings measure, John Dean will not attend this meeting. Any legal questions that
cannot be satisfied in this meeting could defer the approval on any item. Council members are encouraged to
contact staff with any questions in advance of the meeting to anticipate and assist with any questions, especially
legal questions.
HRA
Workshop dates - Mound Harbor Renaissance has requested the special HRA workshop dates. Those are in
addition to other reporting that they expect to do, including the minutes in the HRA packet.
Property Management Agreement - The agreement with Westport Properties follows interviews with them and
Common Bond. Common Bond did not make a good show in the interview and a good case for the Mound
HRA to do business with them. They were also higher priced. The Westport Properties agreement reflects the
input of John Dean but lacks the reaction of Westport staff. A final draft may be provided at the meeting,
should there be any additional changes.
Public Safety building - Todd C will do the update of the public safety building at this meeting, followed by the
request for funds. For the benefit of the public and viewers, there should be a brief summary at the CC meeting,
with his recommendation for add-alternates and the cost savings options. As it turns out, there will not be any
contracts awarded at this meeting, so that item will be deleted at the start of the meeting.
Ci.ty Council
Apr 29 meeting - The April 29 meeting has been canceled, and just the Mayor will attend a planning session
with the staff members charged with emergency operations. One less meeting--yeah!
April 1 meeting - The April 1 special meeting notice needs amending to also list the addition of the second topic
-2003 bonding.
Stoddard case - There continue to be new developments occurring in the Stoddard case, so Sarah will do an oral
update as events have unfolded as of the meeting date.
Greenway Project- No printed materials regarding the Greenway Project were available at the time the agenda
packet was prepared. John Cameron will provide handouts at the meeting if developments are far along enough
to consider. Otherwise, one or both of these items may be deferred to a future meeting.
Human Resources
On Friday afternoon, I called left a message with Police Chief candidate Jim Kurtz, offering him a certain salary
for the position. As of 3:00, the time of this printing, I have not received a reply.
Work is underway to complete the job description for the Public Works Director/Engineer, so that advertising
can begin in about a week. Hiring for this position depends upon the creation of a funding mechanism to pay
for it. Council members will soon hear a proposal that will do just that. John Cameron has emended his
retirement plans to Oct 2004. That in no way impedes these plans to hire, in that John, who now serves Mound
exclusively, will continue with MFRA but do work of another nature.
Other
Whereas, many cities are in the process of amending their budgets, it is my suggestion that we wait until we
know the final analysis to do that. In the meantime, staff is preparing some proposals to offset the lost
revenues. Those proposals will be presented when they are fully developed.
The Fire Station and well house were completely demolished by 1:15 on Thursday this week. Say goodbye to a
bygone era.
Have a great weekend!

Re:
Possible Closure of Ridgedale Court House
Our File No.: 6678
VIA FAX AND U.S. MAIL
Dear Ms. Hanson ·
Introduction: Last week it was announced by the Chief Judge of the Hennepin County Court
that the Ridgedale Branch of the District Court would probably soon be closed because of
budgeting difficulties. Under the proposal each of the various cities now assigned to Ridgedale
would be individually re-assigned to a new location. In the future, Mound would find that its
new cases would be permanently heard at Brookdale, Southdale, or downtown Minneapolis.
[Background: At the present time, Mound officers routinely travel to the Ridgedale to
obtain warrants, file complaints, file citations, and testify in court cases. Any of the three
proposed alternate locations would result in increased travel time for officers
(compensation issues for the city budget) and increased occurrences of officers being in
transit to court rather than being on patrol in Mound.]
Commentary: Last week all of suburban prosecutors were asked to attend court house closure
meeting. The meeting was held last Thursday afternoon, 02/27/03, and I attended the meeting on
behalf of the City of Mound. At the meeting, I learned that closure idea had been broadened and
that now both Southdale or Ridgedale, or possibly both of those suburban court houses, were
under serious consideration for closure.
Concerns were expressed at the meeting that closure of the suburban court houses, rather than
actually cutting costs, might merely be shifting costs from the court system budget to suburban
city budgets. After listening to the commentary, I concluded that mere opposition to closing
suburban court houses would be ineffective, as it is certain that expenses will have to be cut to
meet revenue. Thus the affected communities will have to participate in a process to identify
-996-
March 3, 2003
Page 2
other areas of cost savings.
In order to give you some idea of the scope of the problem, published statistics for the year 2002
show the criminal court work load being split up between the four Hennepin County court houses
roughly as follows:
2002 Misdemeanor (petty misd., misd, and gross misd.) Cases Filed
Downtown MPLS 37,639
Brookdale 12,573
Ridgedale 11,081
Southdale 16,370
Total 77,663
All of the attendees at the prosecutor meeting were asked to ask their City Managers for a city
council resolution (or a mayor's letter, or a manager's letter), which would be addressed to the
Minnesota Supreme Court, the Hennepin County District Court, and the Hennepin County Board,
opposing court house closures. All were urged to send such a letter before the end of this week,
as this matter is quickly coming to a decision point.
As background information I enclose the following:
1. A copy of a 02/28/03 report from the Bloomington prosecutor to Bloomington Mayor Gene
Winstead (attached as Exhibit A); [While this report focuses on the effects of closure of the
Southdale Court House, the problems identified would be largely similar for Mound if Ridgedale
were closed~]
2. A copy of resolution proposed by staff of the City of Minnetonka to the Minnetonka City
Council opposing closure of Ridgedale court house (attached as Exhibit B);
3. A copy of a resolution proposed by staff of the City of Bloomington to the Bloomington City
Council opposing closure of the Southdale court house (attached as Exhibit C); and
4. A copy of a letter drafted by the Minnetonka City Attorney, which letter I understand was
being presented to the Minnetonka mayor for signature (though I do not know its present status)
(attached as Exhibit D).

Conclusion and Requested Action:
It was the sense of the suburban prosecutor meeting, that each municipality should communicate
its concerns to the District Court before Friday, March 7, 2003 in one of three ways:
First preference, by council resolution, and failing that,
Second preference, by City mayor's letter, and failing that,
Third preference, by City manager's letter.

RE:
Sandra H. Johnson -
Potential Closure of
Summary:
On February 27, 2003, at the Criminal. Justice Coordinating Committee meeting, Mark
Thompson, the Hennepin County Cou~ A~sti:ator, announced that due:to anticipated budget
cuts it was likely that one or more of the suburban'division courthouses, potentially the
Southdale facility serving Bloomington, wo.uld be.i closing. He went on to indicate that the
suburban cases displaced by the Closing W0uld. fiot necessarily be diverted to the other suburban
courthouses; they might go to the downtown courthouse. ThOmpson advised that if the
anticipated budget cuts went beyond the initially anticipated 6%, Hennepin County's chief judge,
Kevin Burke, would be announcing the closure and'that it would be done very swiftly. The
Minnesota Bar Association .announced today, that ~e }egislature anticipates cutting 10% of the
state court's budget.
Suburban prosecutors, the head of the. Mkmesota.Chiefs of Police, Chief Joy Rikala, and
Hennepin County Commissioner Koblick. met aM-agreed that the closure of any suburban
division courthouse would have an adverse impact onthe remaining ones and might signal the
demise of all of the division courthouses, tt was. agreed that we would attempt to work with
court administration to find more efficient'meth°ds.of processing our cases, including better
utilization of the suburban courthouses, Ali of the suburban prosecutors agreed to draft
resolutions opposing any closure of suburban courthouses and asking to be included in the
Hennepin County District. Court budget cutting process and in devising cost-saving measures for
the processing of'suburban cases for the conside, ration of'our City Councils.
Issues:
1. What would be the impact of the closure of another suburban courthouse with the
reallocation of a portion of those cases to the Southdale, Division IV, Courthouse?
2. What would be the likely impact of di~,e~ng-Bloomington's petty misdemeanor,
misdemeanor and gross misdemean01~¢ases?downt0wn?
A. Implications of a Reallocation of Other. Suburban Cases to Division IV.
The Division IV Courthouse is already running at .capacity With the following 2002 caseload:
1,656 Gross Misd. Case filings (781 from Bloomington)
10,593 Misd. Case filings (2903 from Bloomington)
4,121 Petty Misd. Case filings (est. 1200 from Bloomington) ,
16,370 cases (est. 4884 from Bloomington)
EXHIBIT
-999- ,
Bloomington in 2002 made 10,704 court appearances at Division IV with its prosecutors
appearing in court 4 days per week, one other city. The
courthouse serves 6 communities: Richfiold, Eden Prairie, MAC and
Bloomington.
The other suburban courthouses at Ridgeda!e and:Brookdale each had about 12,000 cases in
2002. If another courthouse closed and its filings split between the remaining two divisions, the
Southdale courthouse could expect to receive approximately 5,500 of those cases. This is the
equivalent of adding another Bloomington:to the~o0urtho~e capacity.
Potential Problems:
1. The current court administration staff is Unable to keep up with their existing caseload.
There is up to 3 week backlog in updating court records and opening and processing
incoming mail. The resulting failure to promptly record fine payments, guilty pleas
by mail, attorney waivers of the 1st appearance in court, and requests for continuances
of court cases has lead to unnecessary court appearances and also the erroneous
issuance of warrants.
· Lack of adequate competent court administrative staff has also led to 'bad updates' of
court records. What this has meant is that some cases that are supposed to be
scheduled for jury trial have been mistakenly updated as 'dismissed'. Defendant's
are given a notice of the time and place of their next court appearance that is different
from court records, so that the court, p[osecutor and state witnesses are in one
courtroom ready to start a trial and the defendant is at another location.
· The court service counter is overwhelmed with unreasonably long lines.
2. There is no expansion space at Division IV for additional administrative staff, probation
officers or public defenders.
3. There is inadequate lobby and courtroom seating for the number of defendants set on for
court at any given time.
4. There is inadequate office space for prosecutors. Originally, each jurisdiction was assigned
their own office space from which to work while the court was in recess. Because of the
need for additional public defender and probation:0ffieer, space, 6 jurisdictions work out of
one office so that it is no }onger possible.to make the court recess time productive.
Conclusion
The closure of any suburban courthouse and the increased caseload from a reallocation of their
cases will result in sharp reduction of court access and court-, services to the citizens of the
suburban communities assigned there. It will also shift some of the costs of the court system
onto the suburban communities in the form oflndr(ases in the coStof delivering prosecution and
police services.

B. Potential Loss of Suburban Court and its Implications.
There is reason to believe that it is the eventual Plan of court administration to close all of the
suburban courthouses, requiring all court appearances (even speeding tickets) to be heard
downtown. The likely implications for the. dties.w~Uld include:
1. Inconvenience to citizens requiring, access to'.the-courts only at a 24-story downtown
courthouse along with all other Hcnnepin County communities and more serious felony
offenses and offenders. There will. be much:longer court calendars.
2. Additional cost of delivering prosecution services resUlting from thc remote location and
shared calendars with other jurisdictions. It. is. possible thatcities may have cases set for the
same time and date in separate courtrooms. Suburban communities do not typically have
sufficient prosecutors to cover more than Otie courtroom at any given time.
3. Additional cost of police services. Police officers woUld not only have to appear m a remote
location, but their waiting time at court will also increase on mUlti-jurisdictional calendars.
More significantly, their day-to-day one of transporting criminal case.filings, complaints and
prisoners to the downtown eourthouseinstead of simply the Southdale court will be time
consuming and likely to result in additional cost, such as booking costs.
4. Loss of civilian witness and crime victim cooperation with the prosecution. The remote
location and the waiting time at eourt'will- have a direct, impact on the prosecutor's ability to
get victims and witnesses to court:.wh~n needed.
Law:
Minn. Stat. §488A.01, subd. 9, provides that:
· The municipal building commission or the county of Hennepin, or both shall provide suitable
quarters for the holding of regUlar terms of court in Mpls, Bloomington, .and at such other
northern and western suburban loe.~tio, ns'clisburSed throt~ghout the county as may be
designated b~ a ma/ority ofthed~td~e~of the ,court; and
· In addition to the regular locations of holding court, trials of traffic and criminal violations
before court without ajury shall be' held in suehloeations as may be designated by a
majority of the judges of the-court.
Minn. Stat. §383B.65, provides that:
· The county of Hennepin may relocate the municipal court serving the City of Bloomington
and thereupon shall provide 'suitable quarters for the holding of regular terms of court in a
southern suburban location with the county qs may be designated b_¥ the .mq[ority of the
judges of the court. All functions of the court may be discharged, including both court and
jury trials of civil and criminal matters ....
In 1986, pursuant to Minn. Stat. §487.191 and a state-wide initiative to consolidate all the
various lower level courts into a single district court, the Hennepin County municipal court,
processing petty misdemeanor and misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor cases, merged with the
existing District Court for the Fourth Judicial District. This did not result in a physical
-1001 -
consolidation of the courthouses, the division Co~ouses continued to handle the non-felony
criminal cases.
Despite the merger, the statutes requiring suitable suburban court locations continues to be good
law. That was made clear in the case of In re Petition Regarding the Assignment of Judges in
the 9th Judicial District, 416 N.W.2d 450 (Minn. 1987) where the Minnesota Supreme Court
held that the unification statute' did not repeal existing statutes regarding court administration,
only those provisions that might be irreconcilable, Minn. Stat, §488A.01 has been amended
twice since unification of the courts without any. effort to repeal it. Also clear is that the Ckief
Justice of the Supreme Court has overall supervision over the court system and the chief judges
of our state's ten judicial districts Under M~: Smt~ §2.724.
Generally speaking, the Board of County Commissioners has authority over the physical plant
of the division courthouses, with the court system paying them rent for the use of the facility.
The Ridgedale court's rent is $7,000.00 per month. Minn. Stat. §375.18, subd. 3 provides that
each county board may erect, furnish and.maintain a suitable courthouse. Minn. Stat. §475.52
allows the board to issue bonds for the-acquiSitiOn or betterment of the courthouses.
In the end, however, Minn, Stat. §488A.01, subd. 9, seems to require that there be separate
southern, western and northern suburban court locations, but allows a majority of the judges of
the district to designate the exact location. Accordingly, it runs contrary to statute to require the
suburban cases to be heard downtown. A majority of the bench in conjunction with the county
board could move the Southdale cour!house; butonly to another south suburban location.
Finally, it is not obvious how the closUre of a suburban courthouse would result in a significant
cost savings to the district court. Court :~stmtion and the court must still process the cases
wherever they are heard. This should.:req~r¢: flie;i.s, ame level' of staffing and equipment. The
only savings realized would be the appm~!irnate.:$~i000.0.0 per.month in rent for the facility.
However, it would require the 'samei~i~0~offi~ ande°~om space at anOther location.
Conclusion:
The suburban communities in the past have effectively opposed such bench initiatives with the
potential to negatively impact the delivery of court services to their residents by the adoption of
resolutions in opposition to the bench proposal. Attached is such a resolution for the
consideration of the City CoUncil. :

Dear Colleagues:
Hermepin County District Court Administrator Mark Thompson announced at the
Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee (CJCC) meeting on February 27, 2003, that the ·
District Court was considering closing one or more suburban courthouses in response to
proposed state funding decreases. Mr. Thompson had budgetary or statistical information
that he declined to share with CJCC participants because it was only in draft form.
At no time has the leadership of the Hennepin County District Court involved the
suburban cities in a cooperative effort to analyze possible measures to absorb the
anticipated budget cuts. I believe that the closing of one or more suburban courthouses
will result in the following:
There will be much longer court calendars and overcrowding at the remaining
courthouses, which do not have the space to absorb additional defendants and
the court staff needed for the increased workload,
Police officers will be offthe streets for longer periods of time to travel longer
distances and to wait longer periods of time for overcrowded court schedules,
· Suburban police departments will incur increased costs to pay for longer
waiting times and additional officers to cover the longer absences,
· Suburban citizens will suffer major inconvenience from traveling longer
distances and waiting longer periods of time to be heard,
Cooperation of civilian witnesses and crime victims with the prosecution will
be lost, particularly in domestic abuse cases, due to the remote location and
increaSed waiting time, and
· Prosecution costs will potentially increase if each city's cases are spread
between more courtrooms.
I am opposed to the closure of any suburban courthouse because of the consequences
listed above. I recognize, however, the real need to cut costs at the district court level.
Suburban cities are themselves struggling with proposed cuts in their won state funding.
My city wants to cooperate with the District Court in analyzing other alternatives that
could avoid shifting the court's budget cuts to the cities.
I am requesting that the leadership of the Hennepin County District Court immediately
provide accurate budget and statistical information to the suburban cities and to meet
cooperatively to examine possible solutions to the proposed funding cuts. Our City
Manager and City Attorney are cooperating with suburban cities to crate to task force of
representatives to meet with the Court.
Our city council does no meet again, until March 11, 2003. At that time, I will be asking
the council to adopt a resolution to the same effect as this letter.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Pat Meisel
Mayor

appearances on those cases involving citizen victims, witnesses, City police officers and
prosecutors during calendar year 2002, and
WHEREAS, THE SOUTH SUBURBAN, Division IV Hennepin County
courthouse processed at least 16, 370 court filings in year 2002 for the six communities
it already serves (St. Louis Park, Edina, Richfield, Eden Prairie, MAC and
Bloomington), the western suburban, Division III, courthouse processed at least 11, 081
court filings and the Northern suburban, Division II, courthouse processed at least
12,573 court filings in year 2002, it is inevitable that the closure of any one of the three
Hennepin County Division courthouses would adversely affect the remaining suburban
courthouses to which those cases would be reallocated, each of which is already running
at capacity; and
WHEREAS; the City of Mound's police department must make daily trips to the
courthouse serving the City of Mound with case filings, criminal reports, and persons
taken into custody on its misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor cases, in addition to
police officer Witness trips to the courthouse for the purpose of offering testimony at
those hearings and trials of these criminal cases;
WHEREAS, the closure of the Division IV Hennepin County courthouse or any
of the other Hennepin County Division courthouses will deprive the citizens of the City
of Mound of convenient, suitable assess to court system of the Fourth Judicial District
and increase the City's costs of providing police and prosecution services;
- 1006-

Division IV, Forth Judicial District Courthouse based on its concern that such would
unduly inconvenience the citizens of Bloomington served thereby, result in increased

Fourth Judicial District courthouses based on its concern that such would result in a
reduction of the level of services currently offered at the Division IV courthouse due to
the resultant overcrowding of that facility by the reallocation of the other suburban cases.

other Hennepin County suburban cities to form a task force for the purpose of working
with the leadership of the Hennepin County District Court to examine posSible solutions

SUBJECT: SAC Credits - Mueller / Lansing Building SAC Credit Correction from MCES
The purpose of this memorandum is to document the January 28, 2003 telephone conversation
with Jodi Edwards of the MCES regarding the January 14, 2003 letter from the MCES about
existing SAC credits for the Mueller / Lansing Building (attached.)
A copy was provided to Mike Mueller on January 27, 2003 who indicated that the size of Main
Street Market (formerly Brinkley's) is 4340 SF as opposed to 3580 SF. Additionally, there is
another space in the building (1300 SF) which is leased by Hech Design.
As per my discussion with Ms. Edwards, the City can revise her letter to increase the total square
footage for Brinkley's / Hech Design to 5640 and assign a retail calculation of 3000 SF / SAC.
Therefore, (1.88) SAC credits are available for the Main Street Market (formerly Brinkley's)
space and will be retained by the City / I-IRA. These credits can be used to pay for SAC charges
for any of the businesses that will be relocated due to the building demolition or used city-wide at
the City Council / HRA's discretion.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sarah Smith, Community Development Director
DATE: March 3, 2003
SUBJECT: Public Hearing - Review of Vacation Request - (10) foot of Commerce
Boulevard R-O-W
APPLICANT: Dave Bortner / F. Todd Warner (on behalf of Mahogany Bay)
PLANNING CASE NUMBER: 03~08
LOCATION: 2642 Commerce Blvd.
ZONING: Central Business District (B-1)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Linear District
REQUEST
The City Council will hold a public hearing to consider a request from Dave Bortner and
Todd Warner of Mahogany Bay to vacate a (10) foot strip of Commerce Boulevard right-of-
way that is adjacent to their property located at 2624 Commerce Boulevard.
BACKGROUND
A conditional use permit was approved for Mahogany Bay on August 8, 2000 to allow boat
storage and restoration activities on the property subject to specific conditions. The CUP
was subsequently amended in 2001 and 2002 to extend the condition which requires paving
until May 30, 2003 so as to allow time to resolve multi-party drainage problem.
Following preparation of a detailed survey of the property and submittal of a proposed
grading/drainage plan, it has been determined that the paving condition cannot be satisfied
without the release of an unused (10) foot portion of the Commerce Boulevard right-of-way.
PROCEDURE
Minnesota State Statutes Section 462.358 states that a statutory city may abandon ownership
or control over all or any part of the land they have set aside, dedicated or used as streets or
alleys and further states that a City Council may initiate the action by resolution or by the
submission of a petition by a majority of the landowners and the owners of at least 50 percent
of the land area. Procedurally, state statute requires that the City Council must hold a public
hearing on the proposal following two weeks of published and posted notice.
-1015-
The City must also provide written notice to each affected owner at least (10) days before the
public hearing. Members of the City Council are advised that the Notice of Public Hearing
was published in the Laker on March 1, 2003 and March 8, 2003 and was posted at City
Hall. Additionally, a copy of the notice was also mailed to all affected owners within (350)
feet on February 27, 2003.
UTILITY COMPANY REVIEW
Copies of the request and all supporting materials were forwarded to all involved utility
companies for review and comment. As of March 3, 2003, responses have been received
from CenterPoint Energy / Minnegasco and ExCel Energy.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OVERVIEW - February 3, 2003
In general, the Planning Commission was favorable regarding the vacation request as it
allows Mahogany Bay to fulfill the obligations of their conditional use permit which was
approved in 2000.
Much of the Planning Commission's discussion focused on whether or not the "triangle"
portion of right-of-way in front of Kirby's Bay should also be vacated even though the
neighboring property owner had not submitted a petition. While the Planning Commission
expressed support for the additional vacation area, members were concerned about holding
up the current petition fi'om Mahogany Bay in light of the May 2003 deadline for completion
of the paving activities. The Planning Commission, by consensus, encouraged the City
Council to consider a City-sponsored vacation for the adjacent property owner, if possible.
The applicant also indicated that they would like to see the City participate in the costs(s)
associated with resolution of the drainage problem and also stated that in the event the
neighboring property owner didn't pave the lot, it was possible that some sort of barrier (ie.
bollard, etc.) might be necessary to eliminate the cut-through traffic.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It is City staff's understanding that City Council Liaison Osmek met with the owner
of Kirby's Bait following the 2/3/03 meeting who indicated that he would not be
opposed to a future vacation request but was not interested in incurring any
unnecessary costs and/or fees.
2. City Engineer Cameron has advised that a detailed legal description would need to be
prepared for the neighboring property if a vacation request was to be undertaken.

-1016-
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend that the 10-foot strip of right of
way in front of Mahogany Bay be vacated as recommended by Staff since there is no public
benefit to retaining this portion of the boulevard area along Commerce Boulevard since it is
unimproved and is presently being used by the applicant as part of their gravel parking lot.
As part of its recommendation, the Planning Commission requested that the City's approval
be made contingent upon the following conditions:
1. The request shall be made subject to any forthcoming comments from City staff or
private utility companies.
2. The applicants shall be responsible for payment of all costs associated with the
vacation request.
3. Any and/or all drainage and/or utility easements should be retained and/or reserved.

MINUTES
MOUND ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION
FEBRUARY 2003
BOARD OF APPEALS
CASE #03-06 STREET VACATION - 10 FOOT STRIP OF COMMERCE BLVD
MAHOGANY BAY - 2642 COMMERCE BLVD
Dave Bortner and F. Todd Warner of Mahogany Bay have submitted a request to vacate a 10
foot strip of Commerce Boulevard right-of-way that is adjacent to their property located at
2624 Commerce Boulevard.
A conditional use permit was approved for Mahogany Bay on August 8, 2000 to allow boat
storage and restoration activities on the property subject to specific conditions. The CUP was
subsequently amended in 2001 and 2002 to extend the condition which requires the paving
until May 30, 2003 so as to allow time to resolve multi-party drainage problem. Following
preparation of a detailed survey of the property and submittal of a proposed grading/drainage
plan, it has been determined that the paving condition cannot be satisfied without the release
of an unused 10 foot portion of the Commerce Boulevard right-of-way.
Discussion
Mueller was interested in vacating the remainder of the right-of-way area adjacent to Kirby's
Bait. He felt that, before Kirby could fix their portion of the drainage problem, the vacation
of the northerly section would be required as well. It makes good common sense to take care
of this at the same time for both properties.
Osmek asked if it would be required to have a request to vacate before we could add this
portion at this time. Smith agreed that Mueller brought up a good point but indicated that she
would have to research the requirements in state statute as a petition has not been submitted
by the abutting property owner.
Bortner felt that, considering the cost, he would have concerns about his neighbor gaining a
portion of the vacated land without participating in the cost of the application.
Smith said that the current application will provide for Mahogany Bay to meet the
requirements of the CLIP which expires in May 2003 and expressed concern about holding up
Mahogany Bay's progress if the proposal is expanded.
Michael agrees that it's a good thing to do but doesn't want Mahogany Bay to suffer.
Osmek agrees but it's a question of fairness. Either Kirby pays $350 or alleviate the $350
from Mahogany Bay.
- 1022-
Planning Commission Minutes February 24, 2003
Ayaz thought someone should contact Kirby's regarding their participation.
Hasse wanted to know if a wall would be required. Bortner indicated it wouldn't and offered
to walk the area for anyone interested.
Bormer clarified the issues associated with the vacation request including the need for the 10
feet to meet parking lot standards and the resolution of the ponding water that accumulates
from both Commerce and Bartlett. He also stated that they would like to see the City
participate in the cost. It is anticipated that, if Kirby doesn't pave at the same time, some kind
of divider (i.e. fence, bollards, etc.) will likely need to be put up to cut down on traffic
between the two properties.
Mueller advised Bortner to be sure the Council is aware that they want the City to participate
in the cost of resolving the ponding problem. There hasn't been a use change at the Kirby
property so we haven't required any changes from him. He hopes that the Council will not
require cost-participation as the use of the Kirby's Bait property has not changed and
suggested that the City look at the Kirby's request as a "City request" instead of a property
owner request.
Raines thought the safest way would be to address the two matters independently and deal
with the Mahogany Bay vacation request as presented.
MOTION by Mueller, seconded by Hasse, to recommend approval of the vacation to the City
Council.
Osmek wanted to know if there was a proposal from the Planning Commission as a price for
release of the property. Smith stated that vacation is not a sale pursuant to state statutes. It is
either vacated or retained.
Mueller said that the appraisal costs alone would be more than the property itself was worth.
MOTION carried unanimously

Dear Ms. Smith:
A field representative of Xcel Energy has inspected the area of the proposed vacation;
and has indicated that overhead distribution lines, which serve this and other properties,
are located therein.
Please be advised that we have no objection to said vacation, provided, however, that
utility easement rights in favor of Xcel Enerqy be r~served in the vacation resolution for
existing distribution facilities crossing the proposed vacation strip as indicated on the
attached. Should you require a precise definition df said facilities, we will need to locate
and survey them.
Please provide me a copy for my file of the final reservation.

PLANNING REPORT
TO: Mound Council, Planning Commission and Staff
FROM: Sarah Smith, Community Development Director
DATE: February 18, 2003
SUBJECT: Vacation Request - (10) foot of Commerce Boulevard R-O-W
APPLICANT: Dave Bortner / F. Todd Warner (on behalf of Mahogany Bay)
PLANNING CASE NUMBER: 03-08
LOCATION: 2642 Commerce Blvd.
ZONING: Central Business District (B- 1)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Linear District
REQUEST
Dave Bortner and Todd Warner of Mahogany Bay has submitted a request to vacate a (10)
foot strip of Commerce Boulevard right-of-way that is adjacent to their property located at
2624 Commerce Boulevard.
BACKGROUND
A conditional use permit was approved for Mahogany Bay on August 8, 2000 to allow boat
storage and restoration activities on the property subject to specific conditions. The CUP
was subsequently amended in 2001 and 2003 to extend the condition which requires paving
until May 30, 2003 so as to allow time to resolve multi-party drainage problem. Following
preparation of a detailed survey of the property and submittal of a proposed grading/drainge
plan, it has been determined that the paving condition cannot be satisfied without the release
of an unused (10) foot portion of the Commerce Boulevard right-of-way.
PROCEDURE
Minnesota State Statutes Section 462.358 states that a statutory city may abandon ownership
or control over all or any part of the land they have set aside, dedicated or used as streets or
alleys and further states that a City Council may initiate the action by resolution or by the
submission of a petition by a majority of the landowners and the owners of at least 50 percent
of the land area. Procedurally, state statute requires that the City Council must hold a public
hearing on the proposal following two weeks of published and posted notice. The City must
also provide written notice to each affected owner at least (10) days before the public
hearing. Tentatively, the City Council public hearing is to be held on March 11, 2003.
- 1030-
Therefore, the Notice of Public Hearing will be published in the Laker on March 1, 2003 and
March 8, 2003 respectively and will be mailed to all affected owners on or before February
27, 2003.
As the Planning Commission is aware, current City policy also requires that any proposed
vacation request is reviewed by the Planning Commission prior to formal review by the City
Council.
VACATION ACTION
When a city vacates a street, the involved portion of the public right-of-way is split 50-50,
(presumably to the centefline) and is usually free of easements either in favor of the public or
owners of other property abutting the street. However, members of the Planning
Commission are advised that the City may specify the extent to which a proposed vacation
affects existing utility easements, including the right to maintain and continue existing utility
easements.
CITY DEPARTMENT REVIEW
Copies of the request and all supporting materials were forwarded to all City departments for
review and comment.

Refer to memorandum dated January
14, 2003.

GENERAL COMMENTS
It appears there is little public benefit to retaining ownership of this particular
section of unimproved fight-of-way. Additionally, the opportunity to complete
the required paving activities and correct a long-standing drainage problem is
viewed as positive.
If the proposed vacation request is approved, any and/or all existing private utility
easements should be retained and/or reserved.
Cost sharing of any and/or all necessary improvements is a discussion item for the
City Council.
RECOMMENDATION
As there appears to be no public benefit to retaining this portion of the boulevard area along
Commerce Boulevard, staff recommends approval of the proposed vacation. At a minimum,
City staff recommends that the following list of minimum conditions be included in any
recommendation for approval:
1. The request shall be made subject to any forthcoming comments from City staff or
private utility companies.
2. The applicants shall be responsible for payment of all costs associated with the
vacation request.
3. Any and/or all drainage and/or utility easements should be retained and/or reserved.

Mahogany Bay - Street Vacation - Commerce Boulevard
Case #03-06
MFRA #13495
As requested, I have reviewed subject street vacation request of Mahogany Bay and have the
following comments and/or recommendations:
1. The right-of-way requested to be vacated is already used by the applicant as a gravel
driveway/parking area.
2. Hennepin County has determined that the area requested for vacation is not under their
jurisdiction. It is part of the right-of-way for Commerce Boulevard, a City street.
3. The only condition we would suggest be included as part of the street vacation is that the
City retain drainage and utility easements over the entire i0 foot wide strip of }UW to be
vacated.

Sarah:
As discussed with John Cameron, City Engineer, Hennepin County has no issues with
the proposed 1 O-foot wide Commerce Boulevard right of way vacation or the
grading/drainage work proposed on-site.
The new paving should abut the existing bituminous entrance; Hennepin County will
provide 36 feet of 15-inch diameter metal culvert with flared ends when work
commences under a city-issued permit.
Please call me at 763-745-7643 with questions or discussions.

Excerpts from the
MOUND ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION
November 4, 2002
Mahogany Bay Survey
Existing property line along Commerce Boulevard does not allow room for parked vehicles to
maneuver. It is suggested that the property owner apply for vacation of the city street right of
way between the county right of way and the property line. This would allow them to add
approximately 10 feet to their parking lot and facilitate the required paving.
Mueller confirmed with Cameron that the plan presented would allow the neighbor, Kirby's
Bait, to pave in the furore with successful treatment of the storm water runoff.
MOTION by Mueller, seconded by Weiland, to recommend moving this item to the City
Council and recommend the application for vacation of the adjacent city right of way by the
property owner. MOTION carded unanimously.

GENERAL COMMENTS
Representatives of Hennepin County, the City of Mound, and the property owner met on
the subject site on several occasions to discuss the site conditions. In order to properly
address the drainage problem, additional survey information is necessary including
topography and location of the City/County public fight-of-way boundaries. It is City
staff's understanding that the survey has been ordered and is to be prepared on or around
September 18, 2002 by Otto & Associates. Until that information is received, it is
unknown what the solution is with regard to the drainage or whether or not the parking
lot can be designed to function properly in the limited space available or even if it can be
paved. Members of the Planning Commission are advised that the City Engineer will be
present at the meeting to specifically explain the existing site conditions and drainage
problems in this area(s) as it is a fairly complex issue.
The Planning Commission may wish to discuss the removal of the paving condition
altogether if it is determined by the City Engineer that it cannot be accomplished due to
existing site conditions.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend Council approval of the amendment
to the conditional use permit for Mahogany Bay subject to the following conditions:
1. The condition included in Resolution No. 01-95 which requires paving by October 1, 2002
be extended.
Following receipt of the updated survey and preparation of a parking plan, a follow-up
meeting with all involved parties including, but not limited to, the applicant, the adjacent
property owner(s), Hennepin County and the City of Mound, shall be held to discuss
resolution of the matter.
3. The paving condition shall be eliminated if it is determined by the City Engineer that it
cannot be accomplished due to existing site conditions.
CITY COUNCIL REVIEW
Tentatively, the public hearing for review of the CUP amendment request from Mahogany.
Bay is scheduled to be held by the City Council at its September 24, 20(52 meeting in the event
a recommendation from the Planning Commission is made at its September 16, 2002 meeting.

Notes:
Good rnorning Kandis,
Please find attached updated Budget Work Sheet, Proposed Cost Savings/Revised
Alternate #1 and 03/03 Meeting Minutes. Please make the following recommendations to
the HRA and City Council:
1. Accept Revised Alternate #1, with scaled back west wall and ,asphalt shingles, for a
cost of $106,416. (Council)
2. Make allocations of $237,522 from contingency to source of funds to balance project
costs. (HRA)
At this time we have no contracts to recommend award, we will award additional
contracts and SAC charges at the next HRA/Council meeting.
l just want to extend a small explanation in regards to the cost of asphalt shingles. The
cost of the Base Bid is higher due to the quantity of shingle and mobilization costs in
proportion to the work being completed, The overall cost of asphalt shingles did not
change from our discussions on March 3 when you consider the Base Bid and Alternate
#1.
f you have any questions please feel free to call, 952-200-4390,
Thank you,

Portable Storage Unit Ordinance
Summary
At its February 24, 2003 and March 3, 2003 meetings, the Planning Commission reviewed and
discussed the proposed new ordinance to regulate the placement of portable storage containers in the
City of Mound. As the City Council is aware, this project was discussed at the recent joint PC/CC
work session held in January.
Recommendation
Based on its review, the Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend approval of the
new ordinance and further requested that a "per day fine" be considered for inclusion in the
ordinance. Based on review of City Attorney John Dean, the City Code already includes a provision
for successive day violation(s) and is therefore unnecessary. Additionally, the severability clause
which was included in an earlier draft has also been removed.

A weekly legislative update from the League of Minnesota Cities
When is 9 ½ percent equal to 40 % ?
City officials and others who have tried to
digest the governor's budget.proposal for aid
reductions have been confronted with a wide
array of seemingly contradictory statistics.
Depending upon how you measure it, the
governor's proposal could appear to be either
modest or dramatic.
In the governor's budget proposal, he portrays
the cuts as a 5 percent reduction for cities in
calendar year 2003 and a 9.5 percent reduction
in calendar year 2004. The governor
characterized these cuts as reasonable when he
recently stated "If you're on a city council or a
city manager and you can't manage a 5-percent
reduction in your total revenues without
reducing police or fire services, you should be
fired."
Elsewhere in his budget, he indicates that the
cuts are 22 percent of aids and in other sections
the cuts are described as 29 percent, 18.9
percent and 38.5 percent.
So which numbers are correct? As you might
guess, all of the figures are, in their proper
context, accurate.
Starting with the governor's 5% and 9.5%
figures--he compares his proposed cuts to total
city revenues. The problem is that total city
revenues include revenues to all governmental
funds including the general fund, debt service
funds, special revenue funds and capital
projects funds. In fact, about the only things
excluded are enterprise fund revenues and
proceeds from bond sales. By using such a
broad number, the cut appears to be modest.
However, most of the funds outside the general
fund are not available for general government
operations nor can they. necessarily be reduced
to cover state aid reductions.
February 21, 2003
Page 1
The 22 percent figure refers to the city and
county cuts as a percentage of total property
tax aids and credits. This category is
commonly used in state financial reports.
However, property tax aids and credits include
programs that do not fund cities or counties. In
fact, programs like the circuit breaker, the
renters' refund and the targeting program--all
programs that provide direct payments to
individuals based on their property tax
burdens--are included in this broad category.
These latter direct taxpayer programs are not
cut under the governor's proposal and therefore
including thern results in the appearance of a
smaller cut.
The 29 percent, 18.9 percent and 38.5 percent
figures all are related to cuts in aids paid only
to cities. The total cut over the two-year period
is 29 percent of ALL city aids. All city aids
include several specific programs such as aid to
police and fire and PERA aid as well as LGA
and market value homestead credit. The first
year cut--for 2003 aids--is actually 18.9
percent while the second-year permanent cut is
38.5 percent. The 29 percent is roughly an
average of the two annual cuts.
To really make your head spin, the League
would like to suggest two additional
statistics--20.9 percent and 40.8 percent. These
are the reductions in city LGA and market
value homestead credit for calendar year 2003
and 2004 respectively.
In the end, none of these measures accurately
portrays the actual impact of the Governor's
proposal on individual city's budgets. Perhaps
the most accurate way to analyze the impact is
to look at a cities' cut as a percent of their
general operating budget, that is, the portion of
their budget which includes the spending from
which cuts would have to be made.

A w~ekly legislative update from the League of Mirmesota Cities
Unfortunately, that data is not collected on a
statewide basis.
The House Tax Comrnittee will begin taking
testimony on the Governor's budget proposal,
including the proposed cuts to cities, beginning
next Tuesday. These statistics will undoubtedly
be a major part of the committee discussion.
Joint and several bill up for House
vote
The House will vote on the joint and several
liability reforrn bill (HF 75) on Monday,
February 24~h. Under current law, a party
found more than 15% at fault for an injury can
be required to pay up to 100% of any court
award if other defendants cannot pay. HF 75
increases the fault threshold fi'om more than
15% to more than 50% before a business or
nonprofit organization could be held liable for
100% of a darnage award.
The bill also eliminates the separate damage
limit for government defendants; raising the
government threshold from 35% to more than
50%. Ifa defendant is 50% or less at fault,
then the defendant would pay damages equal to
their share of fault. A similar bill passed the
House in the 2001 session on a 68-62 vote.
Lawnsign bill advances to the floor
The House Goverm'nent Operations and
Veterans Affairs Policy committee passed a bill
(HF 307-Adolphson) on Wednesday that would
pre-empt local authority to regulate the size or
namber of noncommercial signs (campaign
lawnsigns) from August 1~t in a state general
election until 10 days following the election.
The law would apply whether or not a
municipality has an ordinance.
Several House members fl'orn both political
parties support the bill. The author argues that
local regulation of noncommercial signs during
the course of a state general election restricts
February 21, 2003

free speech. He also complained that some
municipalities are restricting these signs
without an ordinance.

A confusing forecast: state budget
deficit hardly changes but
additional cuts of $125 million
needed
Today, the State Department of Finance
released the updated state budget forecast and
although the state deficit is projected to
increase by a remarkably small $11 million for
the balance of the current biennium and by an
additional $14 million for the 2004-05
biennium, the governor will now have to revise
his proposed budget to identify an additional
$125 million in spending reductions.
February 28, 2003
Page 1
Why, if the deficit has only grown by $25
million does the governor need to find $125
million in spending reductions? The
explanation is confusing. Essentially, the
governor's proposed budget, which was
released last week, included most of the
expected reduction in state program costs that
show up in today's forecast, but his proposed
budget did not include any of the revised
reductions in revenues that are included in
today's forecast.
The governor will release a supplemental
budget within the next two weeks that will
include recomrnendations on plugging the $125
rnillion hole. Although there were no clues in
today's budget forecast press conference about
where the governor might turn to find. the
additional savings, it is possible that he could
recommend additional cuts to state aid
programs as a way to cover the additional $125
million.
Commissioner of Finance Dan McElroy
acknowledged that the state's economic
forecasting firrn currently has one of the most
optimistic forecasts for econornic growth
among the major economic forecasting firms.
He went on to stress that the econornic and
geopolitical uncertainty we are now facing
make this forecast a potentially more risky and
volatile projection. He did not rule out the
possibility that the state could prepare an
additional forecast before the end of the
legislative session if economic and world
political circumstances indicate that the state's
economic performance~and therefore the
state's budget--changes substantially.

A weekly legislative update from the League of Minnesota Cities
House Judiciary Committee
approves conceal and carry bill
February 28, 2003
Page 2
a bill reducing Minnesota's per se blood
alcohol concentration (BAC) threshold from
· 10 to .08.
The House Committee on Judiciary Policy and
Finance on Wednesday passed a bill that would
remove the authority of police chiefs to issue
concealed firearm permits and would allow
eligible individuals to obtain permits without
demonstrating a safety need. HF 261
(Boudreau), also known as the Minnesota
Citizens~ Personal Protection Act of 2003,
would make county sheriffs responsible for
ad rain ister[ng the permitting process.
The. committee also amended a provision into
the bill that would give business owners the
right ban guns from their property. The
property owner must then post a notice of the
ban, must provide secure storage lockers for
firearms and must assume full liability for gun-
owners' safety on the premises. The liability
provision does not exempt accidental, or non-
violent, injury. In other words, ifa city chose
to prohibit guns from city-owned property, the
ci[y xvould then assume liability for any injury
suffered by an individual that removed a
firearrn prior Lo entering.
The LMC provided testimony opposing a
reduction in municipal authority and expressing
concern about the liability provisions.
The bill passed to the Committee on Ways and
Means by a vote of 12 to 8. The Senate Crime
Prevention and Public Safety Committee is
expected to hear the bill next week
.08 DWI passes first committee
This week the Senate Crime Prevention and
PubIic Safety Committee passed SF 58 (Foley),
The committee heard testimony from state
agencies and Mothers Against Drunk Driving
about the impacts of a lower BAC threshold on
reducing traffic fatalities. A representative
from the Office of Traffic Safety also warned
legislators that the federal government will
begin withholding highway construction money
if the state fails to adopt a .08 law by October.
Opponents also registered their concerns with
the committee. The Metropolitan Inter-County
Association argued that counties were ah'eady
hit hard by the felony DWI law that went into
effect last August and that lowering the DWI
threshold would aggravate the impact on
county budgets. The association representing
the state's bowling proprietors suggested that
the bill targets social drinkers and will
negatively impact on-sale establishments
around the state.
Legislative interest in this issue goes back
several years, but .08 legislation may be more
likely to pass this year with federal highway
funds on the line. States that do not adopt the
.08 BAC laws by federal FY 2004 would have
2 percent of highway construction money
withheld, with the penalty increasing to 8
percent by 2007.
If the Legislature fails to enact the .08 BAC
standard~ Minnesota stands Lo lose 2 percent
($6.64 million) in FY 2004 and 4 percent
($13.28 million) in FY 2005. This is also the
last year the state is eligible for ah'nost $3
million in federal incentive money for joining
34 other states that have already made the
change to .08.

CASE #03-05 FRONT AND SIDE SETBACK VARIANCES
6382 MAPLE ROAD
MARK HAGEN AND KITTY SHEA
Overview - Community Development Director Smith
This is an existing single-family home on a dead end road. It is located on the boundary between
Mound and Minnetrista. The property owner proposes to add an addition to the front and side of
the dwelling. There is no functional garage on the property at present. The proposed garage will
face east with access from Maple Road and also includes an upper story addition. The existing
house is non-conforming with a 17.2 foot front setback. City staff recognizes that there are
hardship conditions on the property and feels that a variance is warranted. However, a minimum
setback of 1.5 feet is recommended. The applicants shared their plans with~their neighbors and
received written comments which are included in the packet. The property to the west is
unlikely to be developed in the area. Smith noted that the applicants are currently parking on
Maple Road which presents many challenges especially for the snowplows.
- 1066-
Plmming Commission Minutes February 3, 2003
Staff recommends approval with the following conditions:
1. The proposed setback on the west and south side is increased to a minimum of 1.5
feet.
2. Applicant shall procure temporary and permanent easements from the western
property owner to allow access for construction and maintenance purposes.
3. Applicant shall be responsible for payment of all costs associated with the land use
requests.
4. No future approval of any development plans and/or building permits is included as
part of this action in the event the variance application is approved.
5. Applicant shall be required to submit all required information upon submittal of the
building permit applications, when appropriate.
6. Applicant shall be responsible for procurement of any and/or all permits.
Smith again reviewed the conditions at Mueller's request. Mueller asked if any other
modifications to the plan have been recommended by staff to minimize the total impact of the
variance. Smith indicated that development towards the lakeside is not feasible due to
conditions. Any improvement to the street side would require a variance because the setback is
already less than the required 20 feet. Staff thinks it is reasonable to want a garage on the
property.
Mark Hagen stated that the lot slopes from the street to the lake and that they currently park the
second car on the street. He stated they are not requesting a large garage and that the current
plan is an efficient and economical plan for them.
Mueller asked if the second story work occurs in the new construction area. Hagen indicated it
was and commented that they want to keep the height conforming to the neighborhood and don't
want to overshadow the neighbors.
Hasse inquired how siding could be placed on a building which is only 6 inches from the
property line and further commented how a firefighter with a hose could get between the
buildings? He commented that he does not support the plan.
Osmek stated that the property directly abuts a portion of Minnetrista that is virtually unbuildable
in this area. He asked if there would be any consideration to contacting that property owner to
see if a subdivision was possible so as to provide more space.
Mueller stated that he has a problem with building so close to the street when there is amp!e
space toward the lake as it tends to canyonize the street. He commented that too many of these
close variances have been approved and that he has problem with a second story on the lakeside.
He inquired about the possibility of constructing a larger single car garage which could be
pushed further back from the street.
- 1067-
Plamfing Commission Minutes Februa_D, 3, 2003
Ayaz stated that there is a similar property along Island View with a garage close to the street
and that the garage is very tight. He commented that a larger single-car garage may be a good
idea and may be both practical and possibly more aesthetically pleasing.
Mueller stated that we don't do this on non-lakeshore properties therefore why should we allow
it on lakeshore properties?
Hagen stated that the lot slopes toward the lake and commented that the house in Minnetrista is
about 35 feet higher. The house to the south is 20 to 30 feet higher in elevation than their home.
He also stated that the house immediately next door (east) is similar in elevation to their home.
Raines stated that he has no problem with the plan and questioned whether any views were
obstructed.
Hagen stated that there is no sight obstruction to the lake due to the house addition. If there is an
obstruction it is due to the trees along the lake.
Raines stated that the property to the west is unbuildable in this area. From a parking
standpoint alone there are benefits to not only the City but to the individual as well. Raines
stated that there are more pros than cons to this plan.
Mueller stated that the street includes a boulevard area. City Engineer Cameron indicated it
was about 7 feet in width.
MOTION by Raines, seconded by Glister, to recommend approval of the variance.
Glister stated the plan is a good use for the property. There are a lot of needs here and he doesn't
have a lot of options.
Mueller stated the addition is too close to the street and if we do it here we will have to continue
to do it. He inquired when are we going to start requiring people to build within their setbacks.
Even though it may not negatively impact the neighbors at this time the next person who moves
in may feel they are not getting what their neighbor did and therefore we end up with walls
instead of open air. He commented that we are being detrimental to the remainder of the
community. There is a boulevard and that is a positive. The way the motion currently reads you
are agreeing to a six inch setback. I would hope you would vote "no."
Osmek stated he agrees with Mueller and that six inches is way too close. He suggested the
construction of a single garage which could be moved back from the lot line which would enable
2 cars to get off the street. Osmek stated he would vote "no" as its way too tight. He stated that
we need to find a better way to do this.
MOTION failed. Voting in favor: Raines and Glister. Voting against: Clappsaddle, Ayaz,
Hasse, Michael, Osmek and Mueller.
Mueller stated that the applicant should investigate adding toward the lake instead of towards the
street and restructuring the garage to be more conforming.

Planning Commission Minutes February 3, 2003
Osmek asked if the applicant would take this back and do a little more work on it. He
commented that there has to be something better than coming within 6 inches of the lot line. Try
coming up perpendicular to the road which would shorten up the driveway. He also suggested
adding something on to the lakeside such as 3-season porch or another bedroom in that direction.
MOTION by Mueller, seconded by Glister, to table this case in favor of a new plan. MOTION
carried unanimously.
CASE 03-01
FRONT SETBACK AND LOT AREA SIZE VARIANCE
LOTS 5-8, BLOCK 4, REPLAT OF HARRISON SHORES
WILLIAM STODDARD / MINNETONKA ENTERPRISES
5331/5341/5351/5361 THREE POINTS BOULEVARD
Overview - Community Development Director Smith
The applicant is requesting a reduction from the R-1 setback standard of 30 feet to allow a 20
foot front setback for the property and lot area variances. The R-1 minimum lot size is 10,000
SF. Three lots do not meet this requirement.
Notice of the variance request was sent to those individuals that live within 350 feet of the site as
a courtesy following City Council directive. Land use in the area is residential (single family on
the west, south and east; condominiums on the north.) The property includes four parcels that
were platted in 1962 and are entitled to lot of record provisions. There are utilities available to
the lots.
Staff commented on the variance requests and indicated that the minimum front setback of 20
feet is reasonable as it reduces the amount of fill to be placed in the flood plain which is
consistent with our obligation to enforce the rules from the watershed district. Impacts to the
existing wetland are also minimized. Regarding the requested lot area variances, staff indicated
that 3 of the 4 lots met the code when they were platted and further commented that special or
unique conditions exist that may warrant relief of the ordinance restrictions. Smith commented
that 3 lots are within 80-90% of the minimum size for the district and that front setback variances
were granted previously.
Staff recommended approval subject to the following conditions:
1. Applicant shall be responsible for payment of all costs associated with the land use
requests.
2. No future approval of any development plans and/or building permits is included as part of
this action in the event the variances are approved.
3. Applicant shall be required to submit all required information upon submittal of the
building permit applications, when appropriate.
4. The lowest floor (including basement and/or crawl space) shall be at or above the RFPE.

- 1069-
Planning Commission Minutes February 3, 2003
5. Applicant shall be responsible for procurement of any and/or all permits.
The applicant, Bill Stoddard, stated that there is a lot of history on this site. Variances were
given to these lots in the past, as well as to neighboring properties. He stated he is willing to
work with city staff.
Mueller stated that he is opposed to the variance for the front setbacks and inquired what the City
Attorney has to say about reasonable use of the property?
Smith stated that the undue hardship must be demonstrated with a variance and that you need to
allow the property owner reasonable use of property. If the Planning Commission wants a legal
opinion on this matter, staff suggested that City Attorney Dean be consulted.
Mueller stated that when you look at the lots, it wouldn't make any difference whether we allow
4 houses or 1 house as it still would not decrease the setback.
Smith stated that because the northern portion of the property is high and the southern portion is
lower and includes a lakeshore setback requirement, a designated wetland and the 100-year flood
plain, the application of the 30-foot setback standard to this property creates environmental
issues in the rear of the property. It will require the placement of more fill and additional
excavation in the area which could impact the wetland. It also pushes the houses closer to the
50 foot lakeshore setback. Relief on the setback in this case is appropriate because you are
minimizing the impacts in the rear of the property. The applicant is meeting all the codes with
regards to the lakeshore setback and is staying away from the wetland and appears to be doing
what he can to minimize the impact to the flood plain. These lots were platted for residential use
and have utililities available but are smaller than they were originally perhaps due to code
changes or interpretation. The majority of the discussion in recent years involved the existing
wetland and whether or not one existed. This item can now be removed from discussion as it has
been resolved.
Meuller stated that in the past the Planning Commission has had an informal 10% rule for lot
size and if you were to look at it that way, 3 lots would be allowed but this wouldn't address the
20 foot front setback issue.
City Engineer Cameron stated that Three Points Blvd is wider than necessary and that the
boulevard is 6 feet wider than state aid requires so the boulevard on this side is already 3 feet
wider than what is absolutely necessary. He commented that in reality, there is 17 feet from the
curb line to the property line.
Meuller stated that it occurred to him that it would be incumbent upon the City to work out an
arrangement for this property because reasonable use of land will become a discussion issue.
He commented that he has a little trouble with setbacks that but feels he can resolve that issue in
his own mind but that he can't come to terms with 4 lots but indicated that it was workable. He
commented that it's the density issue that bother him. He stated that if the proposal includes 3
lots instead of 4, the only variance needed will be for the front setbacks.
- 1070-
Planning Commission Minutes February 3, 2003
Mueller stated that as a citizen, he doesn't want to have to buy a lakeshore lot because we don't
want to give them a 20-foot variance. There are condos across the street with garages 20 feet
from the road. He commented that he doesn't like going closer to the street. He stated that he
feels the City will end up buying the 4~' lot to keep the density down. Mueller commented that
there is a boulevard and a sidewalk. It's private ownership. Courts have told us before that we
can't be so restrictive to prohibit development.
Mueller asked if all the properties except to the north are zoned R1 ? Smith stated they were.
MOTION by Mueller, seconded by Osmek, to move denial of the application.
MOTION carried. Voting in favor: Clapsaddle, Hasse, Ayaz, Michael, Glister, Osmek and
Mueller. Voting against: Raines.
Staff suggested that the Planning Commission make findings based on its recommendation.
Mueller made the following findings of fact to support the Planning Commission's
recommendation for denial:
1. The front yard setback negatively affects all adjacent property.
2. A 20~foot setback would not be conducive to the balance of properties in the area.
3. Lots 5-7 do not meet the 10,000 SF minimum lot area requirement.
4. Ordinances change for a reason.
5. The impact of traffic in the neighborhood would be negative and could affect safety if
four (4) dwellings were built that close to a fairly major roadway.
Michael offered Raines a chance to comment. He declined.
6. OLD / NEW BUSINESS
Third Monday in February is a federal holiday. Therefore, meeting will be held on the 4th

CASE #03-06 STREET VACATION - 10 FOOT STRIP OF COMMERCE BLVD
MAHOGANY BAY - 2642 COMMERCE BLVD
Dave Bortner and F. Todd Warner of Mahogany Bay have submitted a request to vacate a 10
foot strip of Commerce Boulevard right-of-way that is adjacent to their property located at
2624 Commerce Boulevard.
A conditional use permit was approved for Mahogany Bay on August 8, 2000 to allow boat
storage and restoration activities on the property subject to specific conditions. The CLIP was
subsequently amended in 2001 and 2002 to extend the condition which requires the paving
until May 30, 2003 so as to allow time to resolve multi-party drainage problem. Following
preparation of a detailed survey of the property and submittal of a proposed grading/drainage
plan, it has been determined that the paving condition cannot be satisfied without the release
of an unused 10 foot portion of the Commerce Boulevard right-of-way.
- 1073-
Planaing Commission Minutes Febru~ 24, 2003
Discussion
Mueller was interested in vacating the remainder of the right-of-way area adjacent to Kirby's
Bait. He felt that, before Kirby could fix their portion of the drainage problem, the vacation
of the northerly section would be required as well. It makes good common sense to take care
of this at the same time for both properties.
Osmek asked if it would be required to have a request to vacate before we could add this
portion at this time. Smith agreed that Mueller brought up a good point but indicated that she
would have to research the requirements in state statute as a petition has not been submitted
by the abutting property owner.
Bortner felt that, considering the cost, he would have concerns about his neighbor gaining a
portion of the vacated land without participating in the cost of the application.
Smith said that the current application will provide for Mahogany Bay to meet the
requirements of the CUP which expires in May 2003 and expressed concern about holding up
Mahogany Bay's progress if the proposal is expanded.
Michael agrees that it's a good thing to do but doesn't want Mahogany Bay to suffer.
Osmek agrees but it's a question of fairness. Either Kirby pays $350 or alleviate the $350
from Mahogany Bay.
Ayaz thought someone should contact Kirby's regarding their participation.
Hasse wanted to know if a wall would be required. Bortner indicated it wouldn't and offered
to walk the area for anyone interested.
Bortner clarified the issues associated with the vacation request including the need for the 10
feet to meet parking lot standards and the resolution of the ponding water that accumulates
from both Commerce and Bartlett. He also stated that they would like to see the City
participate in the cost. It is anticipated that, if Kirby doesn't pave at the same time, some kind
of divider (i.e. fence, bollards, etc.) will likely need to be put up to cut down on traffic
between the two properties.
Mueller advised Bortner to be sure the Council is aware that they want the City to participate
in the cost of resolving the ponding problem. There hasn't been a use change at the Kirby
property so we haven't required any changes from him. He hopes that the Council will not
require cost-participation as the use of the Kirby's Bait property has not changed and
suggested that the City look at the Kirby' s request as a "City request" instead of a property
owner request.
Raines thought the safest way would be to address the two matters independently and deal
with the Mahogany Bay vacation request as presented.
2
- 1074-
Planning Conunission Minutes February 24, 2003
MOTION by Mueller, seconded by Hasse, to recommend approval of the vacation to the City
Council.
Osmek wanted to know if there was a proposal from the Planning Commission as a price for
release of the property. Smith stated that vacation is not a sale pursuant to state statutes. It is
either vacated or retained.
Mueller said that the appraisal costs alone would be more than the property itself was worth.
MOTION carried unanimously
6. OLD / NEW BUSINESS
A. Review and approval of 2003 PC Work Rules
Smith gave a brief summary of the change necessary according to City Attorney John Dean.
Glister also informed staff that the 7:00 time change needed to be changed as well as the
voting section.
MOTION by Mueller, seconded by Glister, to change the Work Rules as proposed.
MOTION carried unanimously
B. Review of portable storage unit ordinance (draft)
Glister felt that the permit placard should reflect date of expiration and issuance so City staff
can determine at a glance if the property owner is in compliance.
Ayaz wanted to know what is time line was between request for extension and approval?
Smith indicated it should be part of the tracking system. Request should be required 30 days
before expiration.
Ayaz was also concerned about the 180 day time frame. He thought 90 days should be
adequate.
Osmek noticed the ordinance lacked "teeth". Smith said a misdemeanor clause is included in
the City Code.
Raines felt a daily fine might make more sense. Staff will research this issue.
Mueller suggested the following changes: Section 1. Include the phrase "delivered and/or
removed by truck or trailer". Section 2. Placement and removal. Also fee per day. Section
4 (b) 130 square feet is too small; should be up to 160. (e) need to change 180 to something
less; and include "and unless an extension is applied for 30 days prior to the expiration and
approved by the City Council".
3
- 1075-
Plmufing Commission Minutes February 24, 2003
The Planning Commission felt that 120 days should be adequate. Smith will talk to City
Attorney regarding penalties.
Smith will make changes for review at the 3/3/03 meeting and set it up for City Council
review on 3/11/03 if possible.
C. Planning Commission Vacancy
The Planning Commission discussed the vacancy on the Planning Commission due to the
unexpected loss of Frank Weiland.
The matter was discussed with the City Manager including whether it was reasonable to
appoint a new Commissioner from the pool of candidates from last November. Smith
indicated that if this process was used, the City Council would need to direct staff to use
previous candidates in lieu of re-advertising if this was a preferred process of the Planning
Commission and/or City Council.
Osmek agreed and further stated an opinion from the City Attorney would also be necessary
as well. He was of the opinion that, because the interviews were so recent and the candidates
were so qualified, it would make sense.
Mueller was uncomfortable with not advertising. We may get a new candidate that far
outshines what we have. Mueller, Glister, Raines, and Michael all agreed that re-advertising
would be the best way.
Smith will share the information with the City Manager.

Subject: Update .... Xcel Utility Relocation-Removal of Abandoned Facilities
To SRA Delegates and Alternates:
I want to give your public works people an update and reminder on the issue of Xcel policies on facilities
relocation and removal of abandoned facilities.
As you know, several SRA cities are coming off"bad years" with Xcel regarding the failure to "promptly"
relocate facilities in the ROW. We have met with Xcel in lieu of seeking further review in the PUC. I
have requested that each of the offended cities, and other SRA cities, keep record of Xcel and other
utility performance this construction season. If the general promises of cooperation made by Xcel do not
materialize and the problem continues this year, the SRA should consider filing a complaint with the
PUC. These delays cost real money and add public inconvenience.
In connection with litigation I am handling it has come to my attention (not in a private communication)
that Xcel gas has indicated it will abandon or greatly reduce the circumstances in which it will remove
steel main/service lines installed across ROW and replace them with plastic dual mains on either side of
the non-traveled portion of the ROW. The dual maining elimination of older mains and in street mains or
service line location is regarded as safer. Xcel's apparent new policy is to limit relocation and removal to
situations in which Xcel deems the mains to be in "direct conflict" with the project. Xcel will have a
narrow view of what is in "direct conflict."
I don't know how many of your cities have projects where Xcel gas (or CenterPoint) is dual maining or
otherwise upgrading form old steel to plastic (PVC). It appears, however, that for financial reasons Xcel
is drawing a line in the sand on when it will move. I have heard of this policy from a couple of different
cities and from a person at the Office of Pipeline Safety.
As you know, our problem with Xcel last year was with electric facilities. With the addition of gas
relocation issues, what appears to be developing is a corporate decision to be less willing to move as
directed by a city, when Xcel believes that a narrower legal interpretation of what it must do can be
claimed. The law requires "prompt" relocation at the utility's expense when the facility "interferes" with:
- 1077- 3/4/03
Page 2 of 2
1. a public improvement project
2. the health and safety of the public
3. the safe and convenient travel in a ROW
"Interfere" is defined by the statement that relocation under these circumstances (promptly and at utility
expense) cannot be "merely for the convenience" of the city. Minn. Rules Part 7819.:~'100.
In sum,
1. Please keep good records of any utility's conduct with respect to these issues.
2. Please advise me if a utility takes the "direct conflict" position in your city on a given project.
It looks as if there will be some willingness on Xcel's part to fight out in court or the PUC, selected
situations where relocation or removal costs it more money than it is willing to spend.

A Professional Association
1. BANKRUPTCY IN THE CABLE TELEVISION INDUSTRY
In the past year the telecommunications industry has experienced a rash of bankruptcy filings which did
not seem possible until recently. In the wake of bankruptcy filings by WorldCom and Adelphia,
franchising authorities across the country have begun asking questions about the enforceability of their
franchise should their operator file for bankruptcy.
There are two main types of bankruptcy filings for businesses. One is ka~own as a Chapter 7 liquidation
in which the ba.nkn~ptcy court appoints a trustee to sell offthe company's assets and liquidate the
business. The proceeds from such sale are used to pay secured creditors first mhd unsecured creditors on
a pro rala basis. Generally speaking, however, there is little cash left in a Chapter 7 liquidation to pay
unsecured creditors. The more common tbrm of bankruptcy filing in the telecommmfications industry is
a Chapter 11 reorganization which is designed to allow a company to reorganize and reduce debt. While
the company is developing its plan of reorganization an automatic stay is implemented which protects
the company from attempts by creditors to collect on unpaid debts.
On Jmmary 30, 2003, Moss & Barnett held a seminar for franchising authorities regaxding concerns over
bankruptcy in the cable television industry. We have outlined below m~swers to the key questions which
were raised during that seminar.
a. Will franchise fee and PEG support pa.~ents to the city continue? If the operator
wishes to maintain the franchise, franchise fees coming due after the bankruptcy filing (post petition)
will most likely continue to be paid if funds are available, but the payments may be delayed. If not paid,
the city can seek relief fi'om the bankruptcy com~r. Generally, in banlcruptcy proceedings an entity is not
permitted to continue to take advantage of the benefits of an executory contract like a cable TV franchise
without salisfying its obligations there under. If the operator does not make the payments vohmtarily,
the bankn~ptcy court may compel payments pursuant to the city's "police and regulatory power," but the
corn1 has discretion to determine the amount and timing of the payments.
b. Will the city be able to collect fines/penalties from a performance bond/security
fund/letter ofcredlt? Prior to a bax~kruptcy petition nothing prevents the city from enforcing the
fi'anchise in accordance with its terms. Following a bankruptcy petition an automatic stay will be
imposed by the bankruptcy court and the city will in all likelihood be prohibited from imposing or
collecting penalties directly from an operator under the terms of the fi'anchise. Enforcement matters
under the franchise will likely need to be heard by the bankruptcy court. Whether the city can enforce a
bond or letter of credit posted by a third party without relief from the automatic stay will depend on the
particular circumstances. However, the enforceability of a bond or letter of credit is far more likely than
571663/1 I
- 1079-
MO S S & BARNETT
A Prof¢~sior~l Association
a cash securily deposit because they are held by a third party and will likely not be considered property
of the esta.te.
c. Can a city deny renewal ora franchise solely because an operator is in bankruptey?
No. Denying an operator franchise renewal simply because it is in bankruptcy would likely not be
upheld by a bankruptcy court and the city would have to show some other reason for such denial. For
example, the reasons for denial outlined in 47 U.S.C. § 546 remain viable grounds on which to base
denial of a request for renewal.
d. What if an operator in bankruptc, v beans to provide poor customer service, how can a
city enforce franchise compliance? Enforcement proceedings under the city's police and regulaloD,
powers are not subject to the automatic stay. Whether the activity contemplated by the city is within this
exception will need to be analyzed al the time. The city can likely enforce the fi'anchise and issue default
notices but cannot impose monetary penalties against the operator or draw from a cash security fund.
e. What if an operator in bankruptcy chooses to stop all of its capRal expendRures
particularly system upgrades which may be required under a franchise. It certainly would not be
unusual for an operator to curtail capital expenditures after filing for bankruptcy protection. The
bankruptcy court may need to decide whether any capital expenses required by a franchise must be made
during the time the operator is in the period of bankruptcy administration. Those communities that do
not have franchise requirements for a system upgrade and where the system has not already been
upgraded will likely find any upgrade plans delayed during the pendency of the banka-uptcy proceedings.
However, enforcement of existing fi'anchise obligations remains feasible, albeit without the benefit of
rnoneta.1T penalties to compel compliance.
2. FCC ISSUES NINTH REPORT ON COMPETITION
On December 31, 2002, the FCC released its 9~' Annual Report on Competition in Video Markets.
Among the key findings, the FCC concluded that subscribership to multichannel video programming
distributors (MVPDs) increased by 1.8% to just under 90 million. Of those 90 million subscribers, 69
million are subscribers to traditional cable television systems (CATV) while over 18 million subscribe to
direct broadcast satellite (DBS) services. CATV subscribership was virtually fiat rising a mere .04% in
2002. h~ contrast, DBS subscribership increased audience by over 2 million subscribers (14%) in 2002.
Overall, the audience share of viewership lbr cable chmmels increased 4% while ~he audience share for
broadcast networks decreased 4%. This is consistent with the trend over the past several years where the
a.udience share tbr broadcast television has steadily declined.
Satellite delivered programming also increased in 2002 with 308 chaxmels now available up from 287 in
2001. Of the 1,300 commercial television stations in the United States, 90% have been granted digital
television construction pe~Tnits and 643 are now on air with digital television operations. From June
2001 to June 2002 the Consumer Price Index increased by 1.1%. During that same time pehod, cane
rates in creas ed 6.3 %.
The concentration and consolidation of subscribers among the top cable operators continues. The four
largest MVPDs now control 50.5% of all subscribers in the countxy while the top 10 MVPDs control
84.4% of subscribers. 52.3 million subscribers axe se~wed by 107 large regional clusters which serve
100,000 or more subscribers each. There are now 32 regional clusters in the United States with more
than 500,000 subscribers serving a total of more than 33.3 million subscribers. Haxdwired competition

in the cable industry remains elusive, however, of the 33,246 community units registered by the FCC
(local units of government which franchise cable operators), only 617 (2%) have effective competition
based on the presence of a second wired cable operator.
3. TRANSFER APPROI/AL MAY BE B/ON OR LOST DURING RENEB/AL
On September 20, 2002, the County of Santa Cruz ("County") prevailed in a long legal battle with
Charter Communications over the County's ability to deny a proposed transfer. See Charter
Communications. Inc. v. CounW of Santa Cruz, 304 F. 3d 927 (9th Cir. 2002).
As a result of the Santa Cruz decision, cable operators are no longer able to rely on prior case law for the
proposition thai 1) a local franchising authority ("LFA") is not entitled to request additional infmxnation
regarding a proposed tramferee or 2) an LFA has limited authority to review a proposed transfer. In
Santa Cruz, the Ninth Circuit emphatically held that "the County's denial of consent should be upheld as
long as there is substantial evidence for any one sufficient reason for denial." The court found that the
County's concerns regarding Charter's financial capabilities as well as the stability of subscriber rates
following the transfer were not unreasonable. See www.murdcipalcommunicationslaw.¢om for fin'ther
analysis of this case.
The reaction of the cable industry to the Santa Cruz decision has been swift. In some cases, state cable
associations are approaching state legislatures seeking clarification regarding 'the scope of authority for
LFA review of a proposed transfer. In all cases cable operators are approaching renewal negotiations
with an eye Iowa.rd clarifying the scope of transfer review. Cable operators are now attempting to obtain
"pre-approval" for certain transfers thereby excluding LFA review. Cable operators have oflen sought a
franchise exemption fi'om a transfer review if the franchise was pledged as collateral for financing or in
cases of internal rest~a~cturing where no change of control takes place. As a result of Santa Cruz,
however, LFAs should be on guard with respect to the language proposed by cable operators in draft
renewal franchises.
In addition, LFAs should be leery of imposing any burdensome procedural requirements on their review.
Many cable operators seek to limit municipal review to "legal, technical and financial" qualifications
despite the fact that there is no such stalutory limitation on the issues which an LFA may consider al the
time of a transfer review. Further, LFAs should not include ax~y limitation on the applicable timeframe
for review. Cable operators argue that the federal one hundred twenty (120) day time limit is applicable
axed this should be set forth in the local franchise. However, this one hundred twenty (120) day time
limit may not be final depending upon the cable operator's responsiveness to informatiou requests which
may be submitted by the LFA. See 47 C.F.R. § 76.502 mid 47 U.S.C. § 537.
4. STILL NO DECISION FROM FCC IN CABLE MODEM PROCEEDING
All comments m~d reply comments have long since been submitted to the FCC in its proceeding
regarding the appropriate regulatory treatment for high-speed data delivered over cable modems. In the
spring of 2002, the FCC issued a Declaratory Ruling that cable modem service is a "interstate
in~¥rmalion service" as opposed to a "cable service." As a result of that decision cable operalors
immedimely ceased paying franchise fees on high-speed cable service revenues and altered their
fi'anchise renewal negotiations to attempt to draft out any regulatory oversight of cable modem service.
571663/1 3
- 1081 -
MO $ S & BARNETT
A Professional Association
The Declaratory Ruling was appealed by a number of parties and is before the 9~ Circuit Court of
Appeals, The FCC also issued a Rulemaking Proceeding seeking comments on the Declaratm~/Ruling
and a mmqber of a.ncilla.~ issues, So fir, no decision i¥om the FCC has been rendered,
Last week, however, the FCC issued a decision which fi'ees the Bell operating compmfies fi'om
unbundling rules for new high-speed networks. This decision known as the UNE-P decision may
provide insight regarding the FCC's likely direction in the cable modem proceeding. One aspect of the
UNE-P decision is intended to promote investment by the Bell operating companies in their DSL
products without tbrcing the Bell's to make such facilities available on an unbundled basis to
competitors. As a result of the FCC's UNE-P decision, many believe the FCC will not seek any new
regulations over high-speed Intemet smMce offered over a cable modem. Moreover, it appears unlikely
that the FCC will force cable operators to provide open access (~k/a forced access) to competing ISPs ~o
the operators' high-speed h~temet access platform.
The net result for fi'anchising authorities is thai the FCC does not appear inclined to provide any flu'ther
local regulation of high-speed Internet access over a cable modem. Thus the 9th Circuit Court of
Appeals in San Francisco may be the best hope for fi'a.nchising authorities seeking regulatoD~ authority
over cable modem service including the ability to impose a franchise fee on such service.

Re: Enchanted Island Bridge, or "The Red Bridge"
To: Residents of Enchanted and Shady Islands
From: Craig W. Dawson, City Administrator; Larry BrOwn, Director of Public Works/City Engineer
As you areaware, the City of Minnetrista is responsible for the maintenance, operation, and.replacement
of the Enchanted Island Bridge. Minnetrista recently had further testing performed on the condition of the
bridge, and it found that the bridge continues to be weakening.
Weight Restrictions: Reducing the mount of weight on the bridge is necessary to keep it safe.
Minnetrista, in fact, recently removed pavement from the top of the bridge to remove some .weight.
Acqordingly, Minnetrista has reduced the total load limit of vehicles to four (4) tons. This weight
restriction will likely remain in effect until the replacement bridge is completed.
Minnetrista has contacted Westonka School District on a plan to provide bus service to students living on
the island. It.has alsO notified licensed trash haulers, UPS, and FedEx of the new weight reStrictions.
All fire protection and law enforcement agencies will be able to respond in the event of an emergency.
Schedule: Minnetrista expects the following schedule for the bridge replacement:
* Early April:
* First half of May:
* October 2003:
* June 2004:
Award :contracts for construction of the bridge
Constmcti0n begins
Substantial completion- bridge will be fully driveable
Final completion (includes shoreland restoration, landscaping,
project site clean-up, etc.)
The new bridge will be Constructed in stages such that there will be a one-lane bridge available
throughout construction.
Mound Groundbreaking: Starting at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, March 1,.the City of Mound will have-
building-bashing & groundbreaking activities. The new joint fire and police station will be built on the
site of the current 50-year-old fire station at 2415 Wilshire Boulevard. Everyone is invited to attend.

CITY OF MOUND'S MEMORANDUM
OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF MOTION
TO DISMISS FOR FAILURE TO JOIN
INDISPENSABLE PARTIES
INTRODUCTION
The Plaintiffs are requesting an order from this Court that will impact "inland" property
owners. Despite that, the Plaintiffs have not made those affected property owners parties to this
case. Accordingly, the City of Mound now moves for dismissal of this action, without prejudice,
for failure to join indispensable parties pursuant to Minn. R. Civ. P. 12.02(f) and 19.01.
FACTS
This matter was submitted to the Court previously on the Intervenor/Defendant's motion
to intervene. The Court issued its order and memorandum dated January 16, 2003 (hereinafter
the "Order") granting intervention.~ The Order contains the recitation of the facts necessary to
make a determination of this motion.
The Courts Order granting intervention was based on the standards found in Rule 24.01. Those standards are
virtually identical to the standards in Rule 19.01 which governs this motion.
1
- 1089-
The Wiota Common was privately dedicated to all property owners, including both
Lakeshore and inland property owners, in Dreamwood in 1907. Order, p. 1. Since that time, the
Wiota Common has been continuously used by Dreamwood property owners for access to Lake
Minnetonka. Id.
Plaintiffs seek to upset the nearly-a-century-old dedication and continuous use by
claiming all rights to and interest in the Wiota Common for themselves. Despite the interests of
the inland property owners already recognized by this Court, Plaintiffs seek to do so by suing
only the City of Motmd and the unknown heirs of the individuals who originally dedicated
Dreamwood. Id. (quoting Complaint, p. 11).
Plaintiffs' Complaint in this matter seeks injunctive relief enjoining the City of Mound
"from licensing docks along the lakeshore to anyone, except to plaintiffs pursuant to such future
ordinances as may be duly enacted by the City Council for all docks along all privately owned
lakeshore in the City of Mound." Order, p. 1. Plaintiffs also seek declaratory judgment that the
inland owners were "granted a private easement for street purposes" only, Complaint, p. 11, and
a declaration that they are the "fee simple" owners of the commons? Complaint, p. 10 ~[la.
Plaintiffs' Complaint is an unmistakable attack on the property interests of the inland property
owners.
ARGUMENT
The inland property owners, their interests placed in jeopardy by the relief sought in
Plaintiffs' Complaint, are indispensable parties to this lawsuit. Minn. R. Civ. P. 12.02(0
provides for a motion to dismiss for "failure to join a party pursuant to Rule 19."
2 This is tempered by the unusual language that they are requesting a declaration of fee only as to the City.
2
- 1090-
Minn. R. Civ. P. 19,01 states the following:
A person who is subject to service of process shall be joined as a party in the
action if (a) in the person's absence complete relief cannot be accorded among
those already parties, or (b) the person claims an interest relating to the subject of
the action and is so situated that the disposition of the action in the person's
absence may (1) as a practical matter impair or impede the person's ability to
protect that interest or (2) leave any one already a party subject to a substantial
risk of incurring double, multiple, or otherwise inconsistent obligations by reason
of the person's claimed interest. If the person has not been so joined, the court
shall order that the person be made a party. If the person should join as a plaintiff
but refuses to do so, the person may be made a defendant, or, in a proper case, an
involuntary plaintiff.3
In its decision granting the Citizens for Commons' Motion to Intervene, this Court has
determined that the inland property owners in Dreamwood have an interest in the Wiota
Common and that their interests could be impaired or impeded by this action. Order pp.
3 and 4. This Court has also noted that a final resolution of the issues without the inland
owners' involvement in the case could be detrimental to their interests. Id., p. 4.
In this matter, Plaintiffs seek to claim for themselves all right, title and interest to
the Wiota Common. Plaintiffs attempt to accomplish their goal without joining inland
owners as parties to the lawsuit. While cleverly pled, the Complaint is an mistakable
attack on the interests of the inland owners in at least three ways. First, they are seeking
to have the Court declare the inland owners ineligible for a license to allow them to
3
Minn. R. Civ. P. 19.02 provides that, "Ifa person as described in Rule 19.01 cannot be made a party, the court
shall determine whether in equity and good conscience the action should proceed among the parties before it, or
should be dismissed, the absent person being thus regarded as indispensable. The factors to be considered by the
court include:
(a) to what extent a judgment rendered in the person's absence might be prejudicial to the person
or those akeady parties;
(b) the extent to which, by protective provisions of the judgment, by the shaping of relief, or other
measures, the prejudice can be lessened or avoided;
(c) whether a judgment rendered in the person's absence will be adequate; and
(d) whether the plaintiff will have an adequate remedy if the action is dismissed for non-joinder."
Because all of the inland owners are subject to the jurisdiction of the Court, Rule 19.02 does not apply and
the standards in Rule 19.01 guide the Court. McAndrews v. Krause, 71 N.W.2d 153 (Minn. 1955).
3
-1091 -
maintain a dock - a clear assault on a very real and valuable interest. Second, they seek
to declare that the only easement is for "street purposes" which would unalterably change
their longstanding use and enjoyment of a property right. Third, the Plaintiffs want to
have fee simple title declared in their names. This means, of course, that they would have
an absolute or fee-simple estate in which they are entitled to the entire property, with an
unconditional power of disposition during their life, and descending to their heirs and
legal representatives upon their death intestate. See Black's Law Dictionary, Fourth Ed.
This Court cannot contemplate granting the relief that Plaintiffs seek without
considering the effects of any potential Order on the property interests of the inland
owners. The disposition of this matter, should this Court grant any relief that Plaintiffs
are seeking, will as a practical matter impair or impede the inland owners' property
rights. See Minn. R. Civ. P. 19.01. As such, the inland owners are indispensable parties
and the case should not proceed without them. This case should be dismissed, without
prejudice, for failure to join parties indispensable to the fair and equitable resolution of
this matter.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
February 18, 2003
Dear Members and Friends,
It may have been slow in coming, but winter has finally arrived. In the last few weeks, I hear a lot more
snowmobiles on the lake. The ice is not safe everywhere, so I pray that snowmobilers and ice fishermen are
careful.
This year, and for as long as I can remember, a number of individuals are volunteering their time to give
tax counseling to seniors and Iow income area residents. This wonderful help is provided on Fridays, at the
Gillesple Center, f~om 8:30 am to 3:00 pm~ Please call our reception desk at 952-472-6501 if you' want to
make an appointment. Items to bring with you are: Tax forms for 2003 from the IRS, copies of 2002 returns
and records of all income, such as W2's, 1099's bank interest and dividend statements, Social Security report
mailed to you in January and gambling winnings or miscellaneous income received in 2002. Tax aide volunteers
for 2003 are: Karen Brewers, Richard Deitz, Jim Niesen, Duane Norberg, Eugene Partyka and Charles Radke.
Thanks so much, tax helpers, for all that you do for our senlors and Iow income neighbors.
Some of you do not get to our Center frequently. I~ecently, a water pipe connected to our fire sprinkler
system broke, pouring water into our new facility. Fortunately, this set off the fire alarm. One of our local
firefighters was driving by, entered the building, and turned off the water valve. The firemen cleared most of the
water from the building, but it was necessary to contact a company to bring in dryers, water extractors and
dehumidifiers to get the rest of the water removed so that mold would not form in our walls and f~rnishings.
Although there was considerable damage, we were very fortunate that the damage was minimized by the quick
work of our Mound Fire Department. Thanks, Firefightersl We believe that insurance will cover a good portion of
the damage.
We had a great turnout for our Feb~ary Membership Dinner and Meeting. We have tried to get
entertainment that all of you enjoy. We will have the Delano Hill Billy Band entertaining at our March 4~ Dinner
and Meeting. The dinners at our center are delicious and nutritious and we hope more of you will sign up and
have lunch with us on other days. I try to have lunch at the Center twice a month. We will have a "Spring Fling"
f~ndraising dinner in late April, after Easter. We will have more information in next month's newsletter. Please
pay your dues if you have not done so.

The City and Hennepin County approved the Right-of-Way Agreement in
October 2002 for Phase I and Phase II of the CSAH 15 / Shoreline Boulevard
Reconstruction Project.
· Relocation notices to affected businesses were sent out by Hennepin County
in December 2002.
· Tentatively, Phase I of the project which includes all improvements north of
the former Dakota Rail Line is scheduled to begin in FII 2003.
Construction documents are currently being prepared by Hennepin County
with bidding to occur in the next few months with both Phase I and II to be bid
as one project.

to the NSP substation and MCES lift station.
Former Dakota Railroad Line / Hennepin County Regional Rail Authority
(HCRRA).
The former Dakota Railroad corridor was purchased by Hennepin County
Regional Rail Authority in cooperation with McLeod and Carver Counties and
the State of Minnesota in December 2001.
Pursuant to the multi-party agreement with the Surface Transportation Board
(STB), the HCRRA is obligated to attempt to provide rail service on the line
until the STB permits the line to be abandoned which cannot occur prior to
December 31,2003.
The Cooperative Agreement between the three railroad authorities also
commits them to keeping the rail corridor in tact for the purpose of preserving
it for future transportation purposes. Hennepin County has retained TKDA, a
railroad consultant, to evaluate the existing corridor to determine the
necessary grades to accommodate freight, light-rail and commuter rail
service. The corridor study is expected to be completed in April 2003.
Mound Harbor Renaissance, LLC. At its February 25, 2003 meeting, the Mound
City Council and HRA extended the deadline of the Preliminary Development
Agreement with Mound Harbor Renaissance until June 24, 2003 subject to
conditions.
