1.1 PUBLIC HEARING: PROPOSED ZONING CODE MODIFICATIONS AND
PROPOSED SHORELAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE
The City Planner highlighted the proposed Zoning Code modifications
as outlined in his memo dated September 1, 1992. He suggested that
the Council continue this hearing after tonight to November 24th
because there was not time at the Planning Commission Meeting last
evening to address the Council's concerns from the September 8th
public hearing. The Planning Commission will be talking about the
following Council concerns at their November 23rd meeting:
ae
the issue of lot size - Should all newly created lots
have a minimum size of 10,000 square feet or should minor
subdivisions within existing R-2 or R-3 zones use a 6,000
square foot lot minimum which may be more consistent with
surrounding existing lots?
the issue of the location of sheds, particularly for
lakeshore properties.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
Jim Bedell, 2625 Wilshire Blvd., asked if these ordinance
changes would create more nonconforming properties.
The City Planner stated that every attempt was made in
looking at these to avoid nonconformities and to avoid
creating additional ones. He stated that he could not
tell Mr. Bedell that in every case it would not create
some because in some cases it might. The Planning
Commission was very sensitive to this. The intent was to
minimize this as much as possible.
Mr. Bedell then questioned Section 23.403 (3), asking if this
related to percentage of ground cover or in conjunction with
setbacks.
The City Planner stated that this section relates to
setbacks. Most of that language is in the existing code.
The areas that are highlighted are the changes and the
strikeouts are the ones that have been removed. The
intent there was that if you have a fireplace or a
central air conditioner that is not counted as a setback
from the property line.
Mr. Bedell then questioned 23.604.4 #4 which reads "One
lodging room per single-family dwelling."
The Planner stated that is not a change.
current code.
That is in the
Mr. Bedell then questioned 23.705.2 which relates to minimum
number of trees, A. Commercial, Industrial and Institutional
sites. To read that requires one tree per one thousand feet
of gross building floor area, how could this implemented in
the downtown area? Would that make current property
nonconforming?
The Planner stated no this section is more for new
construction. It may not fit one isolated building,
because you may have 60 feet of frontage and it would be
tough to get 7 trees in that 60 feet of frontage.
Mr. Bedell then questioned 23.740.2 1).
The Planner stated the intent on this item was to try to
keep things within a reasonable perspective of normality
in order to protect certain values, not to build a house
that looks like a flying saucer on stilts next to a two
bedroom colonial or whatever.
Mr. Bedell then questioned 23.740.2 2) B.
The Planner stated this is attempting to vary roof pitch
of structures. This was a provision that is trying to
avoid building the identical floor plan right next to one
another. This language is used in a number of other
communities also.
Mr. Bedell then asked about 23.740.4 Pole Buildings. He asked
if this would then make existing pole building nonconforming
level (OHW) of some water body and hence is subject to the State
Shoreland Rules.
The Planner reviewed the major provisions of the Shoreland
Management Ordinance.
The Planner stated that every community around the Lake is seeking
some type of flexibility issue from the State Shoreland Rules.
Mound will be seeking flexibility in lot size to be able to use the
lot sizes that have been used in Mound versus the larger size lots
required by the State Shoreland Rules. That has been generally
accepted by the DNR.
The State Rules on impervious cover are 25%, Mound is seeking 30%.
That is another item that we need concurrence from the DNR that
they will accept this as a flexibility provision.
The only other item is in the land uses in the chart shown. There
are a few of those that may be required to be conditional by the
DNR. We may list them as permitted and again Mound will be seeking
flexibility to allow our existing zoning code to function as it
does right now as much as possible.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
Jim Bedell, 2625 Wilshire Blvd. question (98A) in the
definitions. Shore Impact Zone.
The Planner responded that this relates to provisions that
require nothing to happen in the Shore Impact Zone, which in
Mound's case is the first 25 feet. Exceptions to that would
be the water and accessory structures that are allowed to be
within 10 feet of the OHL.
Mr. Bedell asked if any of the information from the LMCD
study, done by Arndorfer & Associates, was included in this.
The Mayor stated that he spent more that a year working with
other Mayors around the Lake trying to get a consensus on what
the long range plan would be. Appendix C that was received
from Arndorfer & Associates, which had a shoreland management
plan that would have basically worked for any community around
the Lake. The Mayors could never come to a consensus until
that Appendix C was removed. Mayor Johnson stated he was not
in favor of doing that because he thought it worked quite
well. The DNR had given a tacit approval to what was in
Appendix C.
The Planner then stated that if that process had been
followed, you would not have 14 cities now dealing
individually with the DNR, you would have a mass of 14
communities dealing with the DNR.
Councilmember Ahrens asked about the City granting variances
to the Shore Impact Zone. The Planner stated that the way the
ordinances are structured, is that notifications have to be
sent to the DNR now for any shoreland properties when there
are variances, conditional use permits, or subdivision
approvals so that they will get a request and nine times out
of ten, they will not act on them because they don't have any
interest in them. He stated that he thinks they may have an
interest if we have to grant a variance to be any closer than
50 feet to the OHWM, if we got closer than 25 feet, it may be
of interest to the DNR. That is not to say the City could not
do it, the City still has the ability to do that but we may
get a comment from the DNR that they don't think it is a good
idea.
The Planner stated the rules that we're working within are designed
to cover every lake in the State of Minnesota, which makes it
difficult to compare a lake in the northern part of the state to
Lake Minnetonka and that's why flexibility occurs and that's why
some of these things fit reasonably well but maybe not exactly
because there is a lot of intent that the State is trying to
accomplish.
The City Attorney asked that a summary of these ordinances be
prepared for publishing, to be presented at the November 24th
Meeting. The Council agreed.
The Planner stated that the Planning Commission will be looking at
lot size and storage shed placement, which is part of the zoning
code changes, at their next meeting, November 23. Also to be
looked at are certain provisions in the fence code.
MOTION made by Smith, seconded by Ahrens to continue the
public hearings to November 24, 1992. The vote was
unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
1.Z
CASE ~92-371: APPLICATION FOR AN OPERATIONS PERMIT FOR DROP
SHIP EXPRESS, AT 5308 SHORELINE DRIVE
The Planner explained that Drop Ship Express is requesting an
Operations Permit. The proposed business occupies approximately
70,000 square feet. The peak season for the business occurs from
November to January. The business will have three loading docks on
the north side of the building. Additionally, they are proposing
to have six trailers stored on the site adjacent to the recently
approve Toro heater testing building. The Staff and the Planning
Commission recommended approval under the following conditions:
Prior to December 1, 1992, Drop Ship Express shall prepare and
submit to the City of Mound, a site plan at a suitable scale
showing the parking area for six trailers including a concrete
pad for trailer dollies and a wooden fence adjacent to the
parking lot along Lynwood Blvd. to match the existing fence at
the west end of the site. The fence and concrete pads shall
be installed by June 1, 1993.
Trailers and trucks within the identified parking area shall
be directly involved with the business activities of Drop Ship
Express.
No trailers shall be allowed to remain parked on the site for
longer than 30 days.
Trailers shall be parked in the areas shown on the approved
site plan or at the loading docks involved in Drop Ship
Express business operations.
5. No outside storage is permitted except by operations permit.
Smith moved and Ahrens seconded the following resolution:
RESOLUTION #92-145
RESOLUTION TO APPROVE AN OPERATIONS
PERMIT FOR DROP SHIP EXPRESS, AT 5308
SHORELINE BLVD. AS PROPOSED
The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
1.3 CASE ~92-057: REVIEW OF LANDSCAPING PLAN FOR TORO
MANUFACTURING
The Planner stated that since there has been a building location
change, the landscaping plan that was submitted by Toro is no
longer valid. They will be resubmitting a new landscaping plan.
He suggested this item be deferred until that time. The Council
agreed.

COMMENTS & SUGGESTIONS FROM CITIZENS PRESENT
There were none.
1.5 REOUEST TO BE REMOVED FROM THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT (CBD)
PARKING PROGRAMt THOMAS B. CARLt MOUND POST OFFICE
PROPERTY
The City Manager reported that he contacted the Postmaster and they
have done surveys to determine how many persons utilize the Post
Office on a daily basis. This was done to determine the principal
use of the property. The last survey was done in April and May of
1990 on a Monday thru Friday basis. The average number of persons
per day was 375. They then calculated the number of box customers
at 150 per day. This is a total of 525 persons per day. These
figures reflect more of a retail space situation than an office
space. Thus, to meet the requirement for parking, the facility
would have to have one space per 150 square feet of retail space.
Since the building is 4534 square feet, dividing that by 150,
equals 30.2 parking spaces. Hence, the Post Office property does
not meet the zoning requirements and he recommends denial of the
request to be removed from the CBD Parking Maintenance Program.
MOTION made by Smith, seconded by Jensen to deny a request by
Thomas B. Carl to have the Post Office property removed from
the CBD Parking Program, based on the present use as retail
space, and not providing the required parking spaces. The
vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
1.6
RESOLUTION SETTLING DISTRICT COURT CASE ~MC91-001353 RELATIN~
TO CBD PARKING ACQUISITION ASSESSMENT AND PROVIDING FOR T~E
DISMISSAL OF AN ASSESSMENT APPEAL
The City Manager explained the Mr. Johnson had objected to the
assessment for the CBD Parking Lot Acquisition. Between Mr.
Johnson's attorney and the City Prosecuting Attorney, Jim Larson,
they have resolved the problem by adjusting the employee parking
space requirement from 7.5 to 4. This reduces Mr. Johnson
assessment $729.36. A resolution settling this dispute was
presented for consideration.
Jessen moved and Smith seconded the following resolution:

Jessen moved and Jensen seconded the following:

1.9 APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE CITY OF MOUND'S
ADMINISTRATIVE CODE TO REFLECT CHANGES IN ADMINISTRATIVE
POLICY
The City Manager summarized the amendments that are proposed for
the City's Administrative Code. Councilmember Jensen stated that
she does not agree that employees should be guaranteed a pay
increase, because of pay equity, even if the employee is not
performing satisfactorily. She stated she would like to see a
merit pay plan.
The Council discussed this and stated they would like to get the
pay equity plan back out and review it for discussion at a future
date.
Ahrens moved and Jensen seconded the following resolution:
RESOLUTION #92-149
RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE CITY'S
ADMINISTRATIVE CODE ADOPTED JUNE 10,
1984, WITH AMENDMENTS DATED 12-11-84, 7-

The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.

ADD-ONS
1.12 ELECTION RECOUNT - MAYOR'S RAC~
The City Clerk explained that she has received a request from
candidate Bob Polston who ran for Mayor in the November 3rd General
Election for a recount. Mr. Polston lost to Mr. Johnson by 19
votes. The recount will be Monday, November 16, 1992, at 1:30 P.M.
in the Council Chambers. The City Clerk asked the Council to
appoint her Recount Official and to authorize the City Attorney to
attend the recount in case legal advice is needed.
MOTION made by Smith, seconded by Jensen to appoint Francene
C. Clark as the Recount Official for the recount of the
Mayor's race to be held Monday, November 16, 1992, at 1:30
P.M. in the Council Chambers. The City Attorney is also
authorized to attend the recount. The vote was unanimously in
favor with Mayor Johnson abstaining. Motion carried.
The City Clerk also explained that she has just been served with a
Notice of Election Contest by attorney's from Mr. Polston. The
City Attorney stated that this is basically between Mr. Polston and
Mr. Johnson. The City will have to defend the election process.
1.13 APPROVAL OF NEW POOL TABLE LICENSE
MOTION by Johnson, seconded by Smith to approval a license for
Z pool tables for Independent School Dist. #2?7, 5600 Lynwood
Blvd. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
1.14 MUNSON CASE
The City Manager updated the Council on the Munson Case. Ms.
Munson was granted a maintenance permit in August to upgrade a
boathouse at 4729 Island View Drive. The Permit was given with the
intent that the repairs be made on or before November 1, 1992. Ms.
Munson and her attorney were sent copies of the resolution on
August 26, 1992. Among the items required in the resolution was
that Ms. Munson was to provide a Certificate of Insurance in an
amount of not less than $600,000. To date the Building Official
has not received a certificate and the building permit application
that she has made is incomplete so a building permit cannot be
issued. The Building official advised the City Manager of this
last week and a letter was sent to Ms. Munson indicating that he
was advising the City Manager and the City Attorney and that the
City Manager would be advising the Council and recommending that
action be taken. The city Manager explained that it is his intent
to tack this item on to the lawsuit with Ms. Munson per the
Council's earlier direction by ordering demolition.
The Building official reported that Ms. Munson has indicated to him
that she can only provide a $300,000 Certificate of Insurance.
Also the Building official has not been able to complete the plan
review of the plans for the minimal repair to the boathouse. He
stated he spoke with the Ms. Munson's engineer and he was hesitant
at this point to approve the plans that had been provided thus far.
The engineer wanted to elaborate on those to insure that any
repairs that he would be responsible for would stand. The engineer
wanted to give direction and possibly even that he would have to
visit the site again. In other words, the Building official stated
he has not received an acceptable set of plans. The Building
Official also stated that the engineer told him on the phone that
if the Building official proceeded on the basis of what he has, it
would be the Building official's responsibility, the engineer would
not accept any responsibility.
The City Manager recommended that an order for demolition of the
boathouse be added to the current lawsuit with Ms. Munson on the
deck removal. The City Council did not take any action to the
contrary. Thus, the city Manager will proceed in directing the
City Attorney to add this item to the current lawsuit.
The City Attorney reported that in the criminal lawsuit, they are
undergoing some discovery. On the civil lawsuit, the complaint was
served and they have served an answer and a counterclaim against
the City. The City will now respond to the counterclaim, based on
the direction that the City Manager and the Building official gave
them today and which has been reported to you tonight. The
document will be amended to include the problems with the
boathouse. This will expand the civil lawsuit to some extent.

I contacted the LMCD following the last City Council Meeting
regarding the multiple dock license issue. I indicated to
Gene Strommen, your concerns about paying a fee to LMCD (dock
holder actually pays fee) for work that we do through our dock
inspection program. I expressed the concern that multiple
docks (city owned/operated) should be treated differently. He
took concerns to the LMCD Board and the Board took them under
advisement. The Board established a committee for joint
review of the program which will have membership on it from
multiple dock license holders. Fees will be studied, cost
accounting system will be implemented to track costs. In
addition, the Board "rolled back" the fee from the proposed
$15 per Water Storage Unit (WSU) to $10 per WSU. This will
cause some budgetary problems because the additional monies
necessary to cover costs will not be available from fees.
Thus, approximately $40,000 will come from budget reserves to
make up the difference. Multiple dock license fees for
1993, at the $10 rate, will be partially (20%) due on 12/1/92
and the remaining 80% will be due on 4/1/93. Enclosed is a
letter from the LMCD explaining this further.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mound Planning Commission and Staff
FROM: Mark Koegler, City Planner
DATE: November 4, 1992
SUBJECT: Zoning Code Modifications
At the public hearing on September 8, 1992, the City Coundl discussed a number of
items pertaining to the proposed Zoning Code modifications. Specifically, they are
interested in obtaining additional input from the Planning Commission on the
issue of lot size. Should all newly created lots have a minimum size of 10,000
square feet or should minor subdivisions within existing R-2 or R-3 zones use a
6,000 square foot lot minimum which may be more consistent with surrounding
existing lots?
The City Council also requested additional input on the issue of the location of
sheds, particularly for lakeshore properties.
If the Planning Commission has any additional input on either of these two topics,
it will be conveyed to the City Council at the hearing scheduled for November 10,
1992. The hearing on the 10th is scheduled to be continued until November 24, 1992
in order to prepare any modifications or changes that are deemed necessary due to
public input received.

MINUTES - MOUND CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER a, 1992
1.2 ~BLIC ~BARIN~ IONIN~ ~OD~ ~OD~FICATXO~
The City Planner highlighted his memo to the Council, dated
September 1, 1992, on the proposed changes for the Zoning Code. He
explained that at a recent Committee of Whole Meeting, the Council
expressed the desire to delay final action on adoption of the
modifications until the shoreland management ordinance is
completed. The shoreland management draft is due to come before
the Committee of the Whole meeting on September 29, 1992, coming
back on October agendas as needed and then the public hearing on
November 10th and 24th. He therefore, suggested that the Council
continue this hearing until November 10, 1992, when the shoreland
provisions are scheduled for a hearing.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
MIKE MUELLER, 5910 Ridgewood Road - stated that he did not
agree with the 10,000 square foot lot requirement in areas
that have already been developed into a majority of 6,000
square foot lots. He felt in these areas, 6,000 square feet
was more conducive to the neighborhoods.
There was discussion about the following:
a. There has to be some differentiation between splitting
raw land and splitting and combining lots of record.
b. The need to put some major and minor subdivision language
into this ordinance so there is a differentiation between
the two.
c. Also discussed was the fact that at the present time the
minor subdivision language does not allow for
variances.
d. The way the ordinance is proposed the requirement is
10,000 square feet for subdivision in any case. The only
way that you can build on under 10,000 square feet is on
a lot of record. The intent is good but there is a point
that this does not take in the whole city and could cause
problems.
The Planner suggested he take these items to the Planning
Commission and check on the subdivision section (the minor versus
major) and how that can be tied into this ordinance.
Councilmember Jensen suggested that before the November 10th
hearing the Council think about the following:
a. Locations of sheds on lots (lakeshore or non lakeshore
lots).
b. If the language in section 23.506.2 subd. (5) conveys
that if a variance is not used within one year only 1
extension of that variance will be allowed and then a new
variance would have to be applied for.
Counctlmember Smith asked the Building Official at what height of
a retaining wall do you need a railing? The Building Official
stated that it depends on what the area around the retaining wall
is used for. If it is general landscaping of a yard and not used
for picnicking then a guard rail would not be required at all
whatever height (could be 6, 8 or 10 feet and no guard rail would
be required). If the area was to be used as a patio area, for
instance, at the point of 30 inches, a guard rail would be required
(anything over 30 inches, Just like a deck). He commented that in
Section 23.302, subd. (106), (5), he and the City Planner plan on
changing the wording to read as follows: (5) retaining walls not
having or requiring a railing and not exceeding
height.
The Council asked that the PlA (Planned Industrial Area) be
clarified a little better.
MOTION made by Jensen, seconded by Smith to continue this
public hearing until November 10, 199~, at which time the
Council will also be discussing the ahoreland management
ordinance. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.

On September 8, 1992, the Mound City Council will hold a public hearing on
proposed modifications to Mound's Zoning Ordinance. At a recent Committee of

completed. Therefore, it will be necessary to defer action on the ordinance change
and continue the public hearing until November 10, 1992. November 10, 1992 is the
scheduled hearing date for the shoreland provisions.
The proposed changes will modify a number of sections of the existing Zoning Code.

Planning Commission )41nuto8
February 10, 1992
Commercial - Prohibits unadorned, prestressed concrete panels,
concrete block and sheet metal. Prohibits pole buildings.
In addition to these items, there are a lot of housekeeping items,
such as correcting grammatical errors.
Clapsaddle questioned if Section 23.740.4 relating to Pole
Buildings covers what the Planning Commission intended it to
prohibit? Is Pole Building the proper term? The City Planner
commented that those materials prohibited in 23.740.3 should
eliminate any concerns. Weiland commented that 23.740.6 provides
for an appeals process. It was determined to leave the section as
proposed, at this time.
Chairman Bill Meyer opened the public hearing. There being no
citizens present to speak on the issue, Meyer closed the public
hearing.
Mueller confirmed with the City Planner that the residential and
commercial driveway access width was addressed.
Mueller referred to Section 23.610.4 1.C. "The total number of
accessory buildings for lots measuring 10,000 square feet or less
shall be two (2). On lots exceeding 10,000 square feet, accessory
buildings shall be limited to a total of three (3)." The City
Planner confirmed that this provision applies to all Residential
districts; all lots exceeding 10,000 square feet are allowed three
(3) accessory buildings.
Mueller referred to Section 23.506.2 (5) relating to variance
extensions, as follows: "The request for extension shall state
facts showing a good faith attempt to complete or utilize the use
permitted in the variance or appeal. Such petition shall be
presented to the Planning Commission for a recommendation to the
City Council for a decision." The intention of the Planning
Commission for variance extensions was clarified that only one
extension would be allowed and then a full variance application
would be required thereafter for the same request.
Hanus referred to Section 23.407 (7) relating to sheds and storage
buildings less than 120 square feet in floor area, he believes they
should be allowed to be located in the front yard for lakeshore and
through lots. It was suggested that sheds be allowed to be placed
in the front yard if only behind an accessory building and between
this accessory building and the house so it is hidden.
It was questioned if aesthetics should be controlled with the
zoning code. The City Planner reviewed the Zoning Ordinance's
Planning Commission #inures
Intent and Purpose Section, and two of these
promoting orderly development, and conserving
scenic beauty and attractiveness of the city.
listed include
the natural and
Some Commissioners contemplated leaving the section as proposed,
implying that it is better to have more enforcement available than
not enough.
Johnson suggested that if sheds are allowed to be placed in the
front yard, performance criteria could apply, i.e. require the
siding, roofing, and color match the principal dwelling and it
should be constructed with quality materials. Since a consensus
relating to sheds was objectionable, the commission moved forward
with review of the balance of the zoning code modifications.
Jensen questioned what type of structures are included in the
maximum lot area coverage of 30%. The City Planner referred to the
definition of "Structure - Anything constructed or erected, the use
of which requires more or less permanent location on the ground or
attached to something having a permanent location on the ground,
except the following: (1) on-grade stairways and steps not
exceeding 6 feet in width and landings connected to such stairways
or steps not exceeding 6 feet in width and 6 feet in length; (2)
boardwalks not exceeding 6 feet in width; (3) driveways not
exceeding 20 feet in width; (4) sidewalks not exceeding 6 feet in
width; and (5) retaining walls not having or requiring a railing
and not exceeding 3-1/2 feet in height." The Building Official
confirmed that he would consider a deck a structure.
The City Planner stated that the State Shoreland Management
Ordinance allows for only 25% of lot area to be covered, and this
includes impervious surfaces, so what is now proposed is considered
lenient. Within one year this section of the zoning ordinance may
need to be revised to comply with the Shoreland Regulations,
however, at this time, these proposed requirements should be
sufficient.
Chair Meyer reviewed the outstanding issues which include 1) Sheds
and other buildings less than 120 square feet in area, and 2) Lot
coverage requirements. Meyer suggested that the ordinance be moved
forward to the Council stating these outstanding concerns. Johnson
questioned if Planning Commission will have the chance to review
the modification of language relating to variance extensions.
MOriON made by Mueller, seconded by Woos to recommend
approval of the Boning code modifications with the
exception that the language in Section 23.$06.2 (S)
relating to variance extensions be revised as discussed
by the Planning comnission. Motion carried 8 to 1.
Those in favor were8 Weiland, Clapsaddle, Mueller,
Johnson, Meyer, Voss, Michael, and Jensen. Hanus
opposed.
Manus stated that he opposed due to the requirements for sheds.
The zoning code modifications will be forwarded to the City Council
for review. A public hearing date has not been set yet.

SECTION 1200 - SHORELAND MANAGEMENT
Section 1200:00. AUTHORIZATION AND POLICY
Subd. 1. Authority. This shoreland ordinance is adopted pursuant to the
authorization and polities contained in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 105,
Minnesota Regulations, Parts 6120.2500 - 6120.3900, and the planning and zoning
enabling legislation in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462.
Subd. 2. Purpose. The uncontrolled use of the shorelands of the City of Mound
affects the public health, safety and general welfare not only by contributing to
pollution of public waters, but also by impairing the local tax base. Therefore, it
is in the best interests of the public health, safety and welfare to provide for the
wise subdivision, use and development of shorelands of public waters. The
Legislature of Minnesota has delegated responsibility to local governments of the
state to regulate the subdivision, use and development of the shorelands of public
waters and thus preserve and enhance the quality of surface waters, conserve the
economic and natural environmental values of shorelands, and provide for the
wise use of waters and related land resources. This responsibility is hereby
recognized by the City of Mound.
Section 1200:05. GENERAL PROVISIONS
Subd. 1. Jurisdiction. The provisions of this ordinance shall apply to the
shorelands of the public water bodies as classified in Section 1200:15 of this
ordinance. Pursuant to Minnesota Regulations, Parts 6120.2500 - 6120.3900, no
lake, pond, or flowage less than 10 acres in size need be regulated in a local
government's shoreland regulations. A body of water created by a private user
where there was no previous shoreland may, at the discretion of the City of
Mound, be exempt from this ordinance.
Subd. 2. Compliance. The use of any shoreland of public waters; the size and
shape of lots; the use, size, type and location of structures on lots; the installation
and maintenance of water supply and waste treatment systems, the grading and
filling of any shoreland area; the cutting of shoreland vegetation; and the
subdivision of land shall be in full compliance with the terms of this ordinance
and other applicable regulations.
Mound Shoreland Ordinance
Draft 5 - October 21, 1992

controls must be sent to the commissioner or the commissioner's designated
representative and postmarked at least ten days before the hearings. Notices of
hearings to consider proposed subdivisions/plats must include copies of the
subdivision/plat.
Subd. 2. Final Decisions. A copy of approved amendments and
subdivisions/plats, and final derisions granting variances or conditional uses
under local shoreland management controls must be sent to the commissioner or
the commissioner's designated representative and postmarked within ten days of
final action. When a variance is approved after the Department of Natural
Resources has formally recommended denial in the hearing record, the
notification of the approved variance shall also include the Board of Adjustment's
summary of the public record/testimony and the findings of facts and conclusions
which supported the issuance of the variance.

Section 1200:40 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AREAS (PDA)
Subd.1. Planned Development Areas (PDA). Planned Development Areas are
allowed in shoreland areas subject to the provisions of Section 23.412 and subject
to the additional provisions contained within Section 1200:40.
Subd.2. Site "Suitable Area" Evaluation. Proposed new or expansions to existing
planned development areas must be evaluated using the following procedures
and standards to determine the suitable area for the dwelling unit density
evaluation in Section 1200:40, Subd.3.
The project parcel must be divided into tiers by locating one or more lines
approximately parallel to a line that identifies the ordinary high water level
at the following intervals, proceeding landward:
Shoreland Tier Dimensions
(feet)
General development lakes first tier 200
General development lakes second and additional tiers 267
Recreational development lakes 267
Natural environment lakes 320
The suitable area within each tier is next calculated by excluding from the
tier area all wetlands, bluffs, or land below the ordinary high water level
of public waters. This suitable area and the proposed project are then
subjected to either the residential or commercial planned unit development
density evaluation steps to arrive at an allowable number of dwelling units
or sites.
Subd.3. Residential PDA Density Evaluation. The procedures for determining the
"base" density of a PDA and density increase multipliers are as follows.
Allowable densities may be transferred from any tier to any other tier further
from the waterbody, but must not be transferred to any other tier closer.
The suitable area within each tier is divided by the single residential lot size
standard (10,000 sq. ft.). Proposed locations and numbers of dwelling units or
sites for the residential planned development areas are then compared with the
tier, density, and suitability analyses herein and the design criteria in Section
1200:40, Subd.4.
Mound Shoreland Ordinance
Draft 5 - October 21, 1992

Subd.4. Density Increase Multipliers. The following density increase multipliers
shall apply.
Ao
Increases to the dwelling unit base densities previously determined are
allowable if the dimensional standards in Section 1200:20 are met or
exceeded and the design criteria in Section 1200:40, Subd.5 are satisfied.
The allowable density increases in Item B. below will only be allowed if
structure setbacks from the ordinary high water level are increased to at
least 50 percent greater than the minimum setback, or the impact on the
waterbody is reduced an equivalent amount through vegetative
management, topography, or additional means acceptable to the local unit
of government and the setback is at least 25 percent greater than the
minimum setback.

P. Heck Designs, Inc., is in the business of designing and
manufacturing of artwear which is sold wholesale nationwide
to galleries, department stores and boutiques through
representatives and wholesale shows. Accounts include
Nordstrom, Kohler Gallery, Artspace and Personal Art and
Interiors.
Process of manufacturing is as follows:Pieces are designed
by Peggy Heck. Porcelain clay is rolled out to a thin sheet
on a manual slab roller, cut or shaped according to the
design, air dried, and then fired in a kiln. The pieces
are then assembled and backings are affixed, they are
packaged and shipped via UPS.
No negative impacts are anticipated. The materials and
equipment used in the manufacture of the pieces are the
same as would be found in any high school art room. The
electric kilns used are commercially made by Skutt and are
UL listed (see attached information). I have attached a
copy of the projected layout of the work space.
INTENT: I am very excited to be moving to Mound with my art
studio. This move will enable me to increase my production,
add employees, conduct studio tours and have a showroom
space for my art.
I would love to see other artists and crafts people move to
Mound and establish an artist quarter. I think it would be
a wonderful draw for the City.
Thank you for your consideration.

MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE

NOVEMBER 9, 1992
C~SE f92-053: MAXIME BEISSBL~ 1720 DOVE LANE~ LOTS 7 -
PID ~13-117-24 13 0006. MINOR SUBDIVISION,
Michael Mueller commented that he has a financial interest in the
subject property and therefore stepped down from the Commission.
City Planner, Mark Koegler, reviewed the revised plan to subdivide
the subject property. Previously the Planning Commission
unanimously denied a request to subdivide this property, and the
City Council tabled the request with the suggestion that the lots
be split in some other way to make a better lot configuration. The
Planning commission's consensus was that the lot configuration
created a "stacking" of houses that was undesirable, and the
proposal over utilizes the property, creates a situation where
there are no backyards and Parcel A will accommodate only a very
narrow home. The only change recognized by the revised proposal is
the addition of the amount of Commons frontage owned by Parcel A,
it does nothing to change the location of the two home sites or
their relationship to one another.
Staff recommended that the City Council direct staff to prepare a
resolution of denial for the subject request since the modified
plan does not substantially address the concerns raised by the
Planning Commission and City Council.
Meyer expressed a concern that the lot will still only accommodate
a 20' wide house. Clapsaddle commented that none of the real
issues have been address.
Hanus stated he is in favor of the subdivision as it does not
require any variances and the proposal meets city code.
Jensen is concerned about the layout for proposed Parcel B; the
house is shown to be setback further from the lake than the
neighboring houses and she believes that approving a plan that
limits the house to only 20' wide will eventually result in a
variance request. Johnson added that a 20' wide house is not good
as it is hard to place furniture in long narrow rooms.
Voss suggested that the proposed dividing line running west to east
from the street towards the east be angled rather than jogged. He
also commented that it is good to increase tax role to have two
homes rather than one.
Michael Mueller gave a presentation emphasizing that if this
subdivision is approved the lot sizes will still be larger than the
average within the Dreamwood addition. Me stated that there is an
"L" shaped lot adjacent to this property. Both of the proposed
parcels will be conforming and they can accommodate conforming
structures. Mueller emphasized the amount of open space adjacent
to this property as a result of the commons and touched on the fact
that the property owners will be required to maintain this area.
The proposal meets the criteria and all the requirements for a
legal minor subdivision with no variances required. Mueller also
commented that the City Council suggested the property line at the
commons be changed in case a future owner of proposed Parcel A
would ever want to install a fence.
Plann£n9 Co--£ss£on N£nutes November 9, 1992
MOTION made by Voss, seconded by Clapsaddle to recommend
approval of the applicant,s revised proposal for
subdivision as it is a legal minor subdivision, upon the
following conditions:
Prior to the time this item appears before the City
Council, the applicant shall file a variance application
with the City of Mound including all applicable fees.
Parcels A and B are under common ownership, a building
permit for construction on Parcel & shall not be issued
until the existing house on Parcel B has bean removed and
properly backfilled. Removal of the house will alleviate
the nonconforming status of Parcel B and will negate the
continued necessity for the variance·
All conditions in the City Engineer's report dated
September 8, 1992, as follows:
be
Dedicate additional drainage easements to the City
as required by the City Engineer.
Sanitary sewer and water services shall either be
installed prior to recording of the subdivision
approval or soma type of guarantee provided, such
as cash escrow or performance bond.
Ce
Pay deficient street unit charge in the amount of
$1,170.90.
de
A cash deposit in the a~ount of $500 be required to
offset any direct outside City expenses as required
by Mound City Code Section 330:145, Subdivision 2.
MOTION failed 3 to 4. Those in favor were: Clapsaddle,
Hanus, and Voss. Those opposed were: Johnson, Jansen,
Meyer and Michael.
This case will be reviewed by the City Council on November 24,
1992.

SUBJECT: Minor Subdivision Request
APPLICANT: Maxine D. Beissel
CASE NUMBER: 92-053
HKG FILE NUMBER: 92-37d
LOCATION: 1720 Dove Lane
EXISTING ZONING: Single Family Residential (R-2)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Residential
BACKGROUND: The Planning Commission and City Council reviewed a
subdivision request for this property on September 14, 1992 and September 28, 1992
respectively (see Exhibit A). The Planning Commission unanimously denied the
request and the subdivision was tabled at the City Council meeting with the
suggestion that the "lots be split in some other way to make a better lot
configuration." Prior to the tabling motion being offered, the Council made a
motion denying the request. The applicant has submited a revised subdivision
proposal (Exhibit B) in response to the City Council's tabling action.
COMMENT: The revised plan includes modified lot lines along Dove Lane in front
of Parcel A and along the Commons frontage of Parcel A. Approximately 400 sqare
feet of land has been removed from the front of Parcel A and relocated along the
Commons frontage. Since the removal of land from the front of Parcel A occurs
between the property line and the building setback line, Parcel A maintains a
minimum lot width that conforms to the Zoning Code.

M. D. Beissel Planning Report
November 4, 1992
Page Two
When this case was originally reviewed by the Planning Commission, the
consensus was that the lot configuration created a "stacking" of houses that was
undesirable. Furthermore, Commission members commented that the proposal
over utilizes the property, creates a situation where there are no backyards and
Parcel A will accommodate only a very narrow home. One Commissioner
suggested that the property should be split down the middle creating a more useable
and practical plan.
In considering the revised proposal, the key question is whether or not the new plan
addresses the concerns that were raised by the Planning Commission and City
Council. The proposed shift of approximatley 400 square feet of property does
nothing to change the location of the two home sites or their relationship to one
another. The only thing that the change addresses is the addition of the amount of
Commons frontage owned by Parcel A.
RECOMMENDATION: Since the modified plan does not substantially to address
the concerns raised by the Planning Commission and City Council, staff is unable to
recommend approval of the plan. Therefore, it is suggested that the City Council
direct staff to prepare a resolution of denial for the subject request.

The Building Official explained the request. The Planning
Commission recommended denial based on the following: the
subdivision does not constitute an ideal lot arrangement due to the
stacking of the proposed homes on the parcels; over utilization of
the property.
Realtor, Mike Mueller, was present and stated that the proposal
meets the criteria and all the requirements for a legal minor
subdivision, with no variances required.
The Council discussed the proposed subdivision taking special note
of the configuration of the proposed lots. They suggested that the
lots be split some other way to make a better lot configuration.
MOTION made by Smith, seconded by Jessen to direct staff to
prepare a resolution of denial.
The Council asked if the applicant would like to have this
item tabled so that they can try to come up with another plan.
The applicant stated that she would rather have it tabled than
denied.
Councilmembers Jessen and Smith withdrew there seconded and

SUBDIVISION AT BLOCK 1~ LOTS 7-9, DREAMWOOD, PID ~3-117-24 ~?
0006,
Planning Commissioner Michael Mueller stepped down from the
Commission as he has a conflict of interest with the application.
City Planner, Mark Koegler, reviewed his report. The applicant is
seeking approval of a minor subdivision to create two lots. Each
proposed parcel will meet the minimum 6,000 square foot requirement
as follows: Parcel A = 7,280 square feet and Parcel B = 6,046
square feet. The existing house on Parcel B will require a 7' rear
yard setback variance until the house can be removed which is the
intent of the applicant. Both parcels, as proposed, can
accommodate conforming houses. Regarding adverse effect on
remaining property, if any adverse effect is caused by the
proposal, it occurs between Parcels A and B.
The proposed subdivision does not constitute an ideal lot
arrangement due to the stacking of the proposed homes on Parcels A
and E. The proposal is, however, generally consistent with the
requirements of the Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances and
therefore, is eligible for approval by the City. If the Planning
Commission approves the subdivision request including the issuance
of a variance for Parcel B, .it is suggested that the following
conditions be included:
1. Prior to the time this item appears before the City Council,
the applicant shall file a variance application with the City
of Mound including all applicable fees.
2. Parcels A and B are under common ownership. A building permit
for construction on Parcel A shall not be issued until the
existing house on Parcel B has been removed and properly
backfilled. Removal of the house will alleviate the
nonconforming status of Parcel B and will negate the continued
necessity for the variance.
3. Dedicate additional drainage easements to the City as required
by the City Engineer and shown on Exhibit A.
4. Sanitary sewer and water services shall either be installed
prior to recording of the subdivision approval or some type of
guarantee provided, such as cash escrow or performance bond.
5. Pay deficient street unit charge in the amount of $1,170.90.
A cash deposit in the amount of $500 be required to offset any
direct outside City expenses as required by Mound City Code
Section 330:145, Subdivision 2.
The Commission questioned if there is a minimum amount of frontage
required on common property to be considered an abutting property.
Staff confirmed that there is not.
Jensen commented that the subdivision as proposed is a poor layout
and it does not consider use by future owners. Clapsaddle
commented that this proposal over utilizes the property, there are
no back yards and one house is very narrow. He commented that a
duplex would be an ideal use for this property.
Michael questioned that even though the proposal may not be
desirable, does it not meet the intent of the code? Hanus
commented that if the property was split down the middle with a
straight line it would be a better use for the property as it would
be conforming and more useable and practical.
MOTION made by Clepsaddle, seconded by Michael to deny
the subdivision request. Notion to deny carried
unanimously.
This case will be reviewed by the City Council on September 22
1992.

LOCATION: 1720 Dove Lane
EXISTING ZONING: Single Family Residential (R-2)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Residential
BACKGROUND: The applicant is seeking approval of a minor subdivision to create
two lots. According to the Mound Code, minor subdivisions must conform to the
following:
They must have frontage on a public road. Both proposed lots fulfill
this requirement.
They must not require construction of any new public facilities or
public improvements. The new lot will require utility connections but
will not require any public facilities or improvements.
o
There will be no adverse effect on remaining or adjoining property.
This requirement will be addressed later in this report.
°
There is to be no conflict with the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning
Ordinance or Official Map. The proposal is not in conflict with the
Comprehensive Plan or the Official Map. Comments on the proposal's
conformity with the Zoning Ordinance appear later in this report.

Beissel Minor Subdivision Planning Report
September 8, 1992
Page Two
COMMENT: The proposed subdivision calls for the establishment of two new lots
identified as Parcels A and B. Parcel A which has a lot area of 7,280 square feet is an
"L" shaped parcel with 40 feet of frontage on Dove Lane and approximately 15 feet of
frontage on the Common. Parcel B is an irregular shaped parcel having
approximately 80 feet of frontage on Dove Lane and a total lot area of 6,046 square
feet. All existing structures identified on the survey have been noted as "to be
removed". The proposed structures on Parcels A and B conform to all setback
requirements. The existing house on Parcel B will be nonconforming upon
approval of the subdivision since the rear yard setback will be approximately 8 feet
which is 7 feet short of the required 15 foot setback. The applicant has indicated that
it is her intent to remove the existing house prior to construction of the new home
on Parcel A. When removal of the existing house occurs, a variance will no longer
apply. Until that time, technically, Parcel B will require a rear setback variance.
Item //4 in the list of requirements for minor subdivisions addresses conflict with
the Zoning Ordinance. The existing house will require a variance and therefore, is
not in compliance with the setback provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. Once the
existing home is removed, however, a new home can be built if full compliance
with the Code. Since the property can accommodate a conforming house, staff is of
the opinion that the proposal is not in conflict with the Zoning Code.
Item//3 in the list of requirements for minor subdivisions addresses adverse effects
on remaining or adjoining properties. The shape of the proposed parcels is not
without precedent in the immediate area. The property directly east of the proposed
subdivision is an "L" shaped lot consisting of two 40 x 80 foot parcels. Regarding
adverse effect on remaining property, if any adverse effect is caused by the proposal,
it occurs between Parcels A and B which are the subject of the subdivision rather
than involving neighboring parcels. Therefore, staff is unable to definitively state
that the subdivision is in conflict with the adverse effect provision. Due to this fact
and the status of the Zoning Ordinance compliance in the above paragraph, staff has
concluded that the subdivision is appropriate for processing as a minor subdivision
rather than a major subdivision.
The utility superintendent had reviewed the proposed subdivision and has
identified that the locations of the proposed driveways may need to be adjusted to
avoid an existing water shut-off. Additionally, new service taps will be required for
the proposed home on Parcel A.
Beissel Minor Subdivision Planning Report
September 8, 1992

RECOMMENDATION: The proposed subdivision does not constitute an ideal lot
arrangement due to the stacking of the proposed homes on Parcels A and B. The
proposal is, however, generally consistent with the requirements of the Subdivision
and Zoning Ordinances and therefore, is eligible for approval by the City. If the
Planning Commission approves the subdivision request including the issuance of a
variance for Parcel B, it is suggested that the following conditions be included:
Prior to the time this item appears before the City Council, the
applicant shall file a variance application with the City of Mound
including all applicable fees.
Parcels A and B are under common ownership. A building permit for
construction on Parcel A shall not be issued until the existing house on
Parcel B has been removed and properly backfilled. Removal of the
house will alleviate the nonconforming status of Parcel B and will
negate the continued necessity for the variance.
Additional conditions are found in the City Engineer's report dated September 8,
1992.

Dear Jon:
As requested, we have reviewed the plans for the above mentioned minor
subdivision and have the following comments and recommendations:
Grading and Drainage
The survey shows runoff from the northerly portion of Parcel A directed
towards the lake along the dividing line between the two parcels and also along
the east side of Parcel A. We would like to see drainage easements included in
this subdivision. Enclosed is a copy of the survey with said easements
indicated.
Utilities
There are no existing sewer or water services available at the mains in
Dove Lane to serve Parcel A. These will need to be installed at the
Developer's expense. If the services are not installed prior to recording of
the subdivision, some type of guarantee should be provided.
Streets
This parcel was charged for one unit when the streets were improved in
1978. Policy has been to charge for one additional unit when subdividing,
which in this case would amount to $1,170.90.
In conclusion, we are recommending that the following conditions become a
part of the subdivision approval:
Dedicate additional drainage easements to the City as required by the
City Engineer and shown on Exhibit A.

P&Z CASE #92-067
WHEREAS, Ronald Neraasen has submitted an application for a
minor subdivision in the manner required for platting of land under
City of Mound Code of Ordinances, Section 330 and under Chapter 462
of the Minnesota State Statute, and all proceedings have been duly
conducted thereunder, and;
WHEREAS, an application to waive the subdivision requirements
contained in Section 330 of the City Code has been filed with the
City of Mound, and;
WHEREAS, the request is to modify a lot line to remove an
existing jog that occurs between the two properties. The lot line
modification as proposed is not in conflict with any of the
provisions of the Mound Zoning Code, and;
WHEREAS, the existing house on Parcel B substantially
encroaches onto Lot 9 which is not part of Parcel B. There is an
easement for the encroachment, however, according to the survey the
extreme northwest corner of the house is located outside the
existing easement. This encroachment is a private matter that is
not directly connected to the relocation of the lot line. It will
be necessary for the owner to eventually resolve this issue since
it creates a major title problem. It is not necessary that it be
resolved as part of the requested minor subdivision, and;
WHEREAS, the subject property is located within the R-2 Single
Family Zoning District which according to City Code requires a
minimum lot area of 6,000 square feet, a 20 foot front yard
setback, 10 foot side yard setbacks, and a 15 foot rear yard
setback, and;
WHEREAS, both parcels are proposed to exceed the minimum lot
area required, as follows: Parcel 'A' = 10,438 square feet, and
Parcel 'B' = 17,717 square feet, and;
WHEREAS, it has been determined that there are special
circumstances affecting said property such that the strict
application of the ordinance would deprive the applicant of the
reasonable use of his land; and that the waiver is necessary for
the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right; and
that granting the waiver would not be detrimental to public welfare
or injurious to the other property owners, and;
WHEREAS, The Planning Commission has reviewed this request and
unanimously recommended approval with the condition that disclaimer
language be drafted by the City Attorney relating to the
encroachment problem on Parcel B.
PROPOSED RESOLUTION CASE #92-067

NOW, THEREFOREv BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Mound, Minnesota, as follows:
The property in which the applicant has requested a waiver
from the provisions of Section 330 of the City Code, which is
less than five acres in area, is currently described as
follows:
Lots 5, 28 and 27, Block 13, Wychwood, Hennepin County,
Minnesota. And, Lots 6, 7, 8, 24, 25, and 26, Block 13,
Wychwood, Hennepin County, Minnesota.
It is hereby granted to permit the subdivision as per the
following descriptions:
Parcel A: Lots 5 and 28, Block 13 also the East Half of
Lots 6 and 27, Block 13 also the North Half of vacated
Brunswick Road lying between the Southerly projection of
the East line of said Lot 28 and Southerly projection of
the Westerly line of the said East Half of Lot 27, all in
Block 13, Wychwood, Hennepin County, Minnesota.
Parcel B: Lots 7, 8, 24, 25, and 26, Block 13, also the
West Half of Lots 6 and 27, Block 13, also the North Half
of vacated Brunswick Road lying between the Southerly
projection of the Westerly line of said Lot 24 and
Southerly projection of the Easterly line of the West
Half of said Lot 27, all in Block 13, Wychwood, Hennepin
County, Minnesota.
Approval of this subdivision is subject to the following
understanding and agreement by the parties. The City Attorney
advises all owners or parties with any interest in Parcel A
and Parcel B that these properties may have a major title
defect which will affect future sales or transfers. Each
party is advised to obtain legal advice to determine their
rights on how this lot line adjustment may affect the
marketability of their titles. The City has become aware that
a structure on Parcel B encroaches on property not in this
subdivision and that future surveys and/or title examinations
will undoubtedly catch this problem. The City disclaims any
and all liability or responsibility for this encroachment or
any title defects created by the encroachment or by this
subdivision. The City Attorney wishes to make it clear that
the City has pointed out this problem to the property owners
and reluctantly approves this subdivision with the full and
free understanding and agreement by the parties releasing the
City of any liability or any claims resulting from the
encroachment or the subdivision. Parcel B is a non-conforming
parcel, and the City does not authorize or approve
Construction over lot lines with or without easements.

- 28, PID #19-117-23 32 0143 & 1044. MINOR SUBDIVISION.
City Planner, Mark Koegler, reviewed the applicant's request for a
minor subdivision to modify a lot line. The new line will remove
an existing jog that occurs between the two property ownerships.
The lot line modification is not in conflict with any of the
provisions of the Mound Zoning Code.
There is a problem on Parcel B due to the existing house that
substantially encroaches onto Lot 9 which is not part of Parcel B.
There is an easement for the encroachment, however, according to
the survey the extreme northwest corner of the house is located
outside the existing easement.
The encroachment is a private matter that is not directly connected
to the relocation of the lot line. It will be necessary for the
owner to eventually resolve this issue since it creates a major
title problem. It is not necessary that it be resolved as part of
the requested minor subdivision.
Staff recommended approval. Koegler noted that the City Attorney
could develop disclaimer language until the problem with the
encroachment is resolved.
MOTION made by Meyer, seconded by Voss to recommend
approval of the minor subdivision as recommended by staff
and that the City Attorney develop the proper disclaimer
language to address the problem due to the encroachment
caused by the structure on Parcel B. Motion carried
unanimously.
This item will be reviewed by the City Council on November 24,

SUBJECT: Minor Subdivision
APPLICANT: Ronald Neraasen
CASE NUMBER: 92-067
HKG FILE NUMBER: 92-370
LOCATION: 4725 Bedford Road
EXISTING ZONING: Single Family (R-2)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Residential
BACKGROUND: The applicant is proposing a minor subdivision to modify a lot
line between the subject parcel and the residential property lying immediately to the
east. The new line will remove an existing jog that occurs between the two property
ownerships. Parcel A contains 10,438 square feet and Parcel B has a total area of
17,717 square feet.
COMMENT: The lot line modification as proposed is not in conflict with any of the
provisions of the Mound Zoning Code. A problem does occur, however, on the
west side of the existing home on Parcel B. The existing house has a garage that
substantially encroaches on what is shown as Lot 9 which is not part of Parcel B.
Therefore, over one half of the garage is actually located on the neighboring
property. The applicant has indicated that most of the garage encroachment falls
within an easement that allows it to exist in its present location. According to the
survey, the extreme northwest comer of the garage is located outside of the existing
easement.

RECOMMENDATION: The requested minor subdivision to modify the lot line
common to Parcels A and B is consistent with the Mound Zoning Code. Approval
by the Planning Commission is recommended.

Dear Jon:
As requested, I have reviewed the subject request for a minor subdivision
and have the following comments and recommendations:
From an engineering perspective, the proposed new division line looks
fine. From the sanitary sewer as-builts, it appears the service for
proposed Parcel A is actually 4'+ into Lot 6. This division would
result in a correction of that p~oblem. Another existing problem is
the encroachment of the existing house on proposed Parcel B into the
adjacent property to the west. I am assuming this will be addressed
by the Planning Department.

variance to construct a 2-1/2 story garage/bedroom addition and a
various decks, and;
WHEREAS, the applicant also requested a fence height variance
to allow a 5 foot high privacy fence in the front yard, and;
WHEREAS, the garage/bedroom addition was originally proposed
to be setback 2.7' from the front property line, however, the
applicant revised his plan requesting a 7.5' setback from the front

R~cognition of the existing nonconforming 9.4' side yard
setback resulting in a .6' variance.
These variances are approved upon the condition that the shed
and fence be moved off the public right-of-way (Wilshire
Boulevard) by July 30, 1993.
The City Council authorizes the alterations set forth below,
pursuant to Section 23.404, Subdivision (8) of the Zoning Code
with the clear and express understanding that the use remains
as a lawful, nonconforming use, subject to all of the
provisions and restrictions of Section 23.404.
It is determined that the livability of the residential
property will be improved by the authorization of the
following alteration to a nonconforming use of the property to
afford the owners reasonable use of their land:
Construction of a 2-1/2 story garage/bedroom
addition, decks at the lakeshore side of the house
both at the lower level and upper level as shown on
the plans, and a 5' high privacy fence along the
front property line.
This variance is granted for the following legally described
property: Lots 78 and 79, The First Re-arrangement of Phelp's
Island Park 1st Division.
This variance shall be recorded with the County Recorder or

such recording. A building permit for the subject
construction shall not be issued until proof of recording has
been filed with the City Clerk.

EN HELPS S D PARX ST V SION eTS 9
9- 1 -2 1 O0 V
City Planner, Mark Koegler, reviewed the applicant,s request for a
variance to allow expansion of the existing home. The existing
home lies approximately 20 feet from the ordinary high water line
of Lake Minnetonka. The existing structure has a 16.2 foot setback
off of Wllshire Blvd. The proposed expansion calls for a deck on
the lake side that would decrease the lakeshore setback to 17.3
feet and decrease the setback from Wilshire Blvd. to 2.7 feet.
According to information supplied by the applicant, approximately
22 feet exists from the wall of the proposed garage to the curb
line of the existing street.
Staff has a significant concern that the proposed building is
simply too much mass for the size of the existing lot.
Accordingly, it is suggested that the Planning Commission consider
tabling the subject request with specific direction being provided
to the applicant to reduce the size of the proposed addition and
its encroachment into the setback required along Wilshire Blvd.
If the Planning Commission finds that sufficient hardship or
practical difficulty exists to approve the request as submitted, it
is suggested that such approval include the requirement that the
existing fence and accessory building which lies within the public
right-of-way be relocated onto private land.
The applicant, Mike Gilbertson, presented a modified proposal to
the Commission which reflects a reduced garage size. The length of
the east bay of the garage is now proposed to be 21' versus the
original 26'8. which will increase the proposed setback to the
front property line to 7'6, and 22'6" to the curb. Gilbertson also
addressed hardcover and commented that a hardcover area greater
than 30% is not unique in this area.
In regards to the fence which currently encroaches on the right-of-
way 100%, Gilbertson proposed building a fence along the property
line parallel to County Road 125, however, requested a variance to
allow a 5' high privacy fence. City Code limits fences to 4' high
in the front yard and to 3' high within 50' of the ordinary high
water elevation.
Gllbertson also requested that the shed be allowed to remain until
the proposed addition is completed so it may be used for storage.
Me stated that he has been in contact with Mr. Karl Holtz at
Mennepin County and he has indicated no immediate concern with
respect to the shed or fence. Gilbertson agreed to remove the shed
before July 30, 1993, assuming other arrangements cannot be made.
Hanus commented that he likes the new plan. Jansen remarked that
due to the odd shape of this lot she is in favor of granting a
variance for a 5' fence in the front yard.
MOTION made by Eanus, seconded by Mueller to recommend
approval of the following variances~
1. A 22.5' front yard setback variance.
2. A fence height variance of 1' and 2' as needed to allow
a 5' high fence along front property line.
3. & 32.7' lake side setback variance measured to the
proposed deck.
These variances are recommended for approval to allow
construction of a garage addition and deck as shown on the
revised plans received November 9, 1992 upon the condition
that the shed and fence be moved off the public right-of-way
(Wilshire Blvd.) by July 30, 1993. MOTION carried
unanimously.
This case will be heard by the City Council on November 24, 1992.
tall fence, we would like the commission to consider a variance to allow a 1 foot extension
on top of the fence. (See attached sketch). CR 125 is elevated above the average elevation
of our yard by from one to two feet. A 4' fence with a 1 foot extension would give a small
amount of privacy and security in our yard without affecting anyones views. The existing
fence would be removed upon completion of this fence. Our neighbor has a 6' tall front and
sideyard fence which increases both their privacy and ours.
EXISTING SHED
With respect to our storage shed, which was accidently built on the right-of-way for CR
125, we would ask the commission to allow us to keep the shed as is until the proposed
addition is completed so we have room for storing the contents. The shed was built two
years ago and we have had no complaints (in fact, we've had several positive comments) to
date. We have been in contact with Mr. Karl Holtz at the County and he has indicated no
immediate concern with respect to the shed or fence. Assuming we cannot make other
arrangements, we will remove the shed before July 30, 199~r,..g,
We hope the commission will make a reasonable assessment of our proposed project and
recommend its approval to the City council.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Variance request for garage and bedroom addition to home at 4350 Wilshire Blvd
SETBACK
Based on comments presented by Mr. Mark Koegler in his report to the commission (dated
November 4, 1992) we have modified the proposed project to maximi:,¢ the setback
distance between thc nearest comer of thc garage and thc property line while retaining a
minimum size garage. We have reduced the length of the cast bay of the garage from 26' 8"
in the original plan to 21' 0". (See attached drawing). This change increases the setback of
the southeast comer of the garag~ fr6m the property line to 7' 6" and the setback from the
road to 22' 6". Due to the triangular shape of the lot, the setback increases to 17' from' the
property, line and 30' from the road respectively for the southwest comer of the garage.(In
comparison, the closest comer of our neighbors garage is about 24' from the road. An
attached garage at 4313 Wilshire - which was added on relatively recently - is only about
22' from the road.) This revised plan would add 5' more space in front of the garage to
create additional room for parking. The proposed addition does not effect normal visibility
along CR 125.
HARDCOVER
Another concern noted in the planners report was the issue of hardcover area. According to
the report, the completed project will have a hardcover area of 36%. We realize that our lot
is relatively small and we tried to design the addition to minimize the impact on the
neighbors and area as much as possible. The reduced size addition proposed above will not
result in a smaller hardcover area since the driveway will need to be extended to the new
garage front.
A hardcover area greater than 30% is not unique in this area. Several neighbors to our west
have hardcover areas greater than 30% including our closest neighbor where about 43% of
the lot is hardcover. Other homes towards the east also exceed 30% including the
Lakewinds development and a relatively new home at 4337 Wilshire Blvd. We believe that
since the new hardcover area rules are not in effect, the commission should use the existing
"neighborhood standards" rule as a guideline. We believe the proposed changes
significantly enhance the existing house and the neighborhood without creating abnormal or
special conditions. The benefits of a garage including increased security and safety,
reduced "clutter", and increased value would seem to outweigh a subjective guideline
concerning hardcover which is not yet in effect. All of the neighbors in the area currently
have two car garages.
PROPOSED FENCE
As noted in the planners report, CR 125 is a busy road. Given the orientation of our lot (all
sideyard and no backyard) we have no privacy from passing traffic. We are also concerned
about security and safety since our girls enjoy playing outside. We have proposed building
a fence along the property line parallel to CR 125. Although the building code allows a 4'

BACKGROUND: The applicant is seeking front yard and lakeshore setback
variances for the purpose of expanding an existing home. The subject lot is a
triangular shaped piece of property with lakeshore along one side and Wilshire
Boulevard (Co. Rd. 125) along one of the other sides. The third side of the lot
borders another single family home.
At the present time, the existing home lies approximately 20 feet from the ordinary
high water line of Lake Minnetonka. The existing structure has a 16.2 foot setback
off of Wilshire Boulevard. The proposed expansion calls for a deck on the lake side
that would decrease the lakeshore setback to 17.3 feet and decrease the setback from
Wilshire Boulevard to 2.7 feet. According to information supplied by the applicant,
approximately 22 feet exists from the wall of the proposed garage to the curb line of
the existing street.

COMMENT: In the case of all variances, a finding of hardship or practical difficulty
needs to be determined. Lot shape is one possible consideration in rendering such a
finding. The existing configuration of the lot combined with lakeshore and front
setback requirements results in a very limited building area. Although lot shape
may be a criteria for the granting of a variance, it is not a compelling argument for
total disregard of all setback requirements.
Wilshire Boulevard (County Road 125) carries a significant volume of traffic as a
major connection between the Island and County Road 15. The volume of traffic
along this route places an emphasis on setbacks as a safety issue. Impervious cover
is an additional consideration. According to the Mound Shoreland Management
Ordinance that is scheduled to be adopted on November 24, 1992, properties in the
shoreland district are limited to no more than 30% impervious cover. At the
present time, the property contains approximately 27% impervious cover. If the
proposed addition is approved, the amount of impervious cover will be
approximately 36%.
In order to afford the owner reasonable use of the property, it may be necessary to
grant a variance for an addition. The key question becomes how much of a variance
is actually necessary? The Zoning Codes states that variances must represent the
minimum variation required to alleviate the identified hardship. In this case, is
building within 2.7 feet of the property line along a busy street a minimum situation
or could the proposal be scaled back to observe a larger setback area?
RECOMMENDATION: Staff has a significant concern that the proposed building is
simply too much mass for the size of the existing lot. Accordingly, it is suggested
that the Planning Commission consider tabling the subject request with specific
direction being provided to the applicant to reduce the size of the proposed addition
and its encroachment into the setback required along Wilshire Boulevard.
If the Planning Commission finds that sufficient hardship or practical difficulty
exists to approve the request as submitted, it is suggested that such approval include
the requirement that the existing fence and accessory building which lies within the
public right-of-way be relocated onto private land.

all the forms are basically the same, they have only been cleaned
up a bit and they are now on the Secretary's new computer.
The following forms were reviewed by the Park and Open Space
Commission and the noted changes were made:
1. DOCK LICENSE APPLICATION. The last three words within the
first paragraph should read, "by March 31."
2. DOCK PROGRAM INFORMATION. No changes.
3. LETTER TO DOCK LICENSE APPLICANT. Change the date in the
~ first paragraph to February 28, 1993. On page two, number 3,

~ following change within the 4th paragraph, "The area must be
~ free of litter, debris and aquatic vegetation
t-he-water, which has accumulated on the shoreland.
-LThe issue of winter dock storage was raised, and it was questioned
if people are required to remove their docks from the water. Staff
commented that there are only a few areas where people are required
to remove their docks, such as areas used for snowmobile access and
sliding areas.
MOTION made by Ahrens, seconded by Schmidt to have staff
create & list where docks can be safely left in for the
winter. Motion carried unanimously.
Jim Fackler commented that the water patrol does have some
regulations relating to docks remaining in the lake through the
winter season; he will check this out and bring a list hack as
requested.
MOTION made by Casey, seconded by Asleson, to recommend
that the dock applications forms bm approved as amended.
Motion carried unanimously.
The Commission questioned what happens when someone leaves their
dock in and does not renew their dock license. Who's

control to ensure that it be removed. Could the city remove the
dock assess and the cost for removal to the property of the
previous dock license holder? Casey suggested collecting a damage
deposit.

the City Council that a change be made to the ordinance
to give the Dock Inspector the power to enforce that
docks are removed and disposed of after a dock license
has expired or is not renewed. Motion carried $ to i.
Those in favor were: Asleson, Byrnes, Casey, Schmidt and
Skoglund. Ahrmns was opposed.

placement. If your dock does not pass inspection, I will issue a
notice listing the deficiency and you will have ten (10) days to
correct it. If you neglect to do so, you could lose your dock
license.
This year, special attention will be placed on appearance. Docks
must be securely installed and built of safe, sound materials.

the public shoreline during the boating season. Tires are not

and aquatic vegetation which has accumulated on the shoreland. The
grass at the shoreline must be maintained and trimmed.

CONSTRUCTION ON pUBLIC LANDS PERMIT APPLICATION BY ROGER
STEPHANSONm 4601 ISLAND VIEW DRIVE~ BLOCK lm LOT 7~ DEVON~ FOR ~
MASONRY RETAININg WALL.
Parks Director, Jim Fackler, reviewed the applicant's request to
construct a retaining wall on Devon Commons. This request is
actually a modification to Resolution $92-62 which approved
construction of a stairway on May 26, 1992. A small portion of the
hillside was cut to install a landing at the bottom of the hill and
this area needs to be retained with the proposed wall.
Staff recommended approval of the requested Construction on Public
Lands Permit to construct a retaining wall as proposed, upon the
following conditions:
Expiration date of this permit be concurrent with the existing
permit due to expire five (5) years from May 26, 1992.
The retaining wall shall be installed per the manufacturers
specifications.
e
The applicant/abutting property owner is responsible for all
costs incurred, including installation and maintenance.
Application for renewal must be made with change in home
ownership.
Mueller expressed a concern that this situation happened because of
poor planning and hoped there will not be a lot of these types of
requests.
Ahrens questioned if the existing permit expiration date could not
be altered to meet an expiration date five years from the approval
of this request. Fackler commented that the intent is to have the
expiration dates of all permits concurrent for each property so all
application renewals can be reviewed at the same time.
MOTION made by Ahrens, seconded by Byrnes to recommend
approval of the requested Construction on Public Lands
Permit for a retaining wall at 4601 Island View Drive as
recommended by staff with the exception that condition $1
be changed so that Resolution $92-62 and this request
have the same expiration date which will be five years
from approval of this request by the City Council.
Motion carried unanimously.
Mueller questioned if the existing stairs have been removed yet.
Fackler commented that the Building Official has not yet been
requested to do a final inspection·
This request will be reviewed by the City Council on November 24,
1992.

Lands Permit to construct a retaining wall as proposed, upon the
following conditions:
Expiration date of this permit be concurrent with the existing
permit due to expire five (5) years from May 26, 1992.

The Honorable Skip Johnson
Mayor, City of Mound

Mound, MN 55364
RE: EXTENSION OF SHORELAND ADOPTION GRANT AGREEMENT
Dear Mayor Johnson:
Your city is one of fourteen cities with Lake Minnetonka shoreland
enacting shoreland management controls that comply with the
Department of Natural Resources (DNR) statewide shoreland
management standards. Each of you has been receiving letters
asking your city to review and comment on your neighboring city's
proposed flexibility from those standards. This process, although
lengthy since 45 days are allowed for each city to comment on its
neighbor's proposed relief from the statewide standards, is
necessary to comply with the review and approval process required
in the rules.
In light of the time allowed for reviewing each city's flexibility
request plus the time it will take for DNR to complete the approval
process and process the final payment(s) for each city, the
deadline for completing all tasks in the adoption grant agreement
will need to be extended. I am extending your contract an
additional 6 months which means it will expire on May 10, 1993
instead of the current date of December 10, 1992. You and your
city administrator or clerk will be. contacted by a representativ~
of DNR regarding this in late November or early December,'in order
to get your signatures on the extension document before the
December 10 completion date.
If there are any questions or concerns about this, please contact
me.
S inertly, .

MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE
MOUND ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION
NOVEMBER 9, 1992
Those present were: Bill Meyer, Geoff Michael, Michael Mueller,
Bill Voss, Jerry Clapsaddle, Mark Hanus, and Brian Johnson, City
Council Representative Liz Jensen, City Manager Ed Shukle, City
Planner Mark Koegler, City Engineer John Cameron, Building Official
Jon Sutherland, Sewer & Water Superintendent Greg Skinner, and
Secretary Peggy James.
The following people were also in attendance: Harvey Berquist,
Edward Peterson, Thomas R. Albert, Jennifer Adams, Kay Cunningham,
Paul Henry, Phil Shepherd, Jean Robinson, Sara Biermann, Todd and

MINUTES
The Planning Commission Minutes of October 12, 1992 were presented
for approval.
MOTION made by Voss, seconded by Hanus to approve the
Planning Commission Minutes of October 12, 1992 as
written. Motion carried unanimously.
CASE #92-053: MAXINE BEISSEL, 1720 DOVE LANE, LOTS 7 - 9, BLOCK 12,
PID ~13-117-24 13 0006. MINOR SUBDIVISION.
Michael Mueller commented that he has a financial interest in the
subject property and therefore stepped down from the Commission.
City Planner, Mark Koegler, reviewed the revised plan to subdivide
the subject property. Previously the Planning Commission
unanimously denied a request to subdivide this property, and the
City Council tabled the request with the suggestion that the lots
be split in some other way to make a better lot configuration. The
Planning commission's consensus was that the lot configuration
created a "stacking" of houses that was undesirable, and the
proposal over utilizes the property, creates a situation where
there are no backyards and Parcel A will accommodate only a very
narrow home. The only change recognized by the revised proposal is
the addition of the amount of Commons frontage owned by Parcel A,
it does nothing to change the location of the two home sites or
their relationship to one another.
Planning ~o--ission Minutes
November 9, 1992
Staff recommended that the City Council direct staff to prepare a
resolution of denial for the subject request since the modified
plan does not substantially address the concerns raised by the
Planning Commission and City Council.
Meyer expressed a concern that the lot will still only accommodate
a 20' wide house. Clapsaddle commented that none of the real
issues have been address.
Hanus stated he is in favor of the subdivision as it does not
require any variances and the proposal meets city code.
Jensen is concerned about the layout for proposed Parcel B; the
house is shown to be setback further from the lake than the
neighboring houses and she believes that approving a plan that
limits the house to only 20' wide will eventually result in a
variance request. Johnson added that a 20' wide house is not good
as it is hard to place furniture in long narrow rooms.
Voss suggested that the proposed dividing line running west to east
from the street towards the east be angled rather than jogged. He
also commented that it is good to increase tax role to have two
homes rather than one.
Michael Mueller gave a presentation emphasizing that if this
subdivision is approved the lot sizes will still be larger than the
average within the Dreamwood addition. He stated that there is an
"L" shaped lot adjacent to this property. Both of the proposed
parcels will be conforming and they can accommodate conforming
structures. Mueller emphasized the amount of open space adjacent
to this property as a result of the commons and touched on the fact
that the property owners will be required to maintain this area.
The proposal meets the criteria and all the requirements for a
legal minor subdivision with no variances required. Mueller also
commented that the City Council suggested the property line at the
commons be changed in case a future owner of proposed Parcel A
would ever want to install a fence.
MOTION made by Voss, seconded by Clapsaddle to recommend
approval of the applicant's revised proposal for
subdivision as it is a legal minor subdivision, upon the
following conditions:
Prior to the time this item appears before the City
Council, the applicant shall file a variance application
with the City of Mound including all applicable fees.
2
Planning Co~mission Minutes November 9, 1992
Parcels A and B are under common ownership, a building
permit for construction on Parcel & shall not be issued
until the existing house on Parcel B has been removed and
properly backfilled. Removal of the house will alleviate
the nonconforming status of Parcel B and will negate the
continued necessity for the variance.
All conditions in the City Engineer's report dated
September 8, 1992, as follows:
Dedicate additional drainage easements to the City
as required by the City Engineer.
Sanitary sewer and water services shall either be
installed prior to recording of the subdivision
approval or some type of guarantee provided, such
as cash escrow or performance bond·
Pay deficient street unit charge in the amount of
$1,170.90.
de
A cash deposit in the amount of $500 be required to
offset any direct outside City expenses as required
by Mound City Code Section 330:145, Subdivision 2.
MOTION failed 3 to 4. Those in favor were: Clapsaddle,
Hanus, and Voss. Those opposed were: Johnson, Jensen,
Meyer and Michael.
This case will be reviewed by the City Council on November 24,
1992.

DEVELOPMENT AREA, STREET VACATIONS, AND VARIANCE - PUBLIC HEARING.
City Planner's Report.
The City Planner reviewed his report on the proposed development to
be named Teal Pointe. This single family development will create
a total of 9 lots, 6 lots off of an extension of Windsor Road and
3 lots off the end of Drummond Road.
In order to develop the subdivision as proposed, a number of
approvals are being required, they include approval of a
Conditional Use permit to allow the subdivision to be processed as
a Planned Development Area (PDA), Preliminary Plat and a Street
Plann£n9 Comm£ssion ~inutes
November 9, 1992
Vacation request. The proposed plan will also require the approval
of variances from the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance in
the following areas:
Section 330:95 Subd. 1 requires that street rights-of-way must
be 50 feet in width. The proposed plan calls for streets to
be located within privately owned outlots. Outlot A is only
24 feet in width. Outlot B at its narrowest portion has a
width of approximately 34 feet.
Section 330:95 Subd. 8 limits cul-de-sacs to a total length of
500 feet and requires a cul-de-sac radius of 50 feet. The
proposed private street results in a cul-de-sac with a total
length of 830 feet and an improved surface diameter of 70
feet.
Section 330:95 Subd 11 states, "Private streets shall not be
permitted nor shall public improvements be approved for any
new private street unless approved by the City Council as part
of a conditional use permit for an overall development plan."
Park dedication requirements will be reviewed by the Park and Open
Space Commission on November 12, 1992.
In general, the proposed development represents a positive addition
to the City of Mound.
The City Planner recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit
to establish Teal Point· as a Planned Development Area, approval of
the Preliminary Plat, approval of all applicable variances and
approval of the street vacation subject to the following conditions
as well as the conditions found in the City Engineer's report dated
November 4, 1992.
The wetland area identified on the preliminary plat shall be
designated as Outlot C and shall be deeded to the City of
Mound. Dedication of the wetland area shall not be counted as
a credit against park dedication requirements as specified in
the Mound Code of Ordinances.
Approvals by the City of Mound shall be conditioned on the
applicant securing all required permits from the Minnehaha
Creek Watershed District, the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources and all other applicable agencies.
Ail lots shall be required to observe the front, side and rear
yard structural setbacks as shown on the approved preliminary
plat.
4
Pl&nn~n9 Comm£ss~on N£nutes November 9, 1992
Park dedication requirements shall be in conformance with the
recommendations of the Mound Park Commission.
If the Planning Commission concurs with Staff's recommendations, it
is further suggested that the following finding of fact be adopted.
"The Planning Commission finds that the proposed Teal Pointe
development represents a desirable addition to the development of
the City of Mound. Due to the unique natural characteristics of
the site including steep slope areas, mature tree cover and a
significant wetland area, approval of the identified variances is
warranted and it is appropriate to approve a conditional use permit
to establish the project as a Planned Development Area."
City Engineer's Report.
John Cameron reviewed his report on the Teal Pointe development
proposal from an engineering perspective. The City Engineer's
conclusions and recommendations are as follows: The proposed
preliminary plat is seen as a very desirable use of this vacant
property. The only major obstacle we see that needs to be worked
out is the question of private street and utilities versus public.
From a maintenance perspective, it appears that public ownership
makes more sense, because the City is already in that business.
The major problems we see are snow plowing and maintenance of the
streets and storm sewer system. It may be possible, even though we
have not seen this done, to have everything public except the
sanitary sewer. We are recommending approval of the preliminary
plat, subject to the following conditions:
Preliminary Plat:
Revise preliminary plat to show outlot for wetlands and
correct boundary to exclude the Drummond Road right-of-way.
Grading and Drainage:
Furnish documentation allowing fill to be placed on adjacent
private property.
2. Adjust slope in fill area to maximum slope of 2-1/2:1.
3. Provide housing type for lots exceeding 10% slope.
Streets:
Construct Windsor Road (Outlot B) as a public street to City
standards. If constructed as a public road, variances will be
required for right-of-way width, right-of-way cul-de-sac
Planning Comission Minutes
Noveeber 9, 1992
diameter, and improved/paved portion of cul-de-sac diameter
(proposed to be 70' diameter).
Allow private driveway in Outlot A to be constructed to 22
feet wide with concrete curb and gutter.
Utilities:
1. Public 6" watermain.
Sanitary Sewer and lift station in Windsor Road to be public,
with design of lift station to meet City requirements. Homes
on Lots 1, 2, and 3 to be serviced by private individual lift
pumps.
If the street improvements in Windsor Road are public, then
all storm sewer shall also be public. More detailed plans of
the entire system to be furnished at final plat submission.
4. Review by Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.
Street Vacation:
1. Recommend street vacation except for Drummond Road.
Vacate full 30 foot right-of-way, retaining 20 foot drainage
and utility easements.
3. Delay recording of street vacations until final plat is filed.
In addition, the Sewer and Water Superintendent also recommended
that the road and utilities be public not private.
Applicant's presentation to Planninq Commission.
Neil Weber agreed that Outlot B, the extension of Windsor Road,
could be public. Weber stated that the proposed right-of-way width
for Outlot B is 40' which is only 10' less than what is required
for a public road, and is wider than the existing portion of
Windsor Road. He stated that there will be no problem meeting the
grade at Outlot A for snowplowing.
Weber commented that he is taking a difficult project and coming up
with a creative solution. Weber reviewed the intent of the
development and the type of houses planned to be constructed.
Planning Co~mission Minutes November 9, 1992
Planning Commission Discussion.
Mueller confirmed with the City Planner that Outlots A and B cannot
be used for park dedication.
It was noted that Sinclair Road and Grove Lane cul-de-sacs also
received variances to allow a 70 degree radius.
Hanus questioned staff if they would prefer the proposed lift
stations for lots 1, 2, and 3 to be private or public. Cameron
commented that it would be better for the City if they were private
and then have one force main line under Outlot A. Greg Skinner
noted that there are approximately 16 private lift stations in the
city of Mound.
Mueller questioned if lot 3 would still meet the zoning
requirements and be buildable if Drummond Road is not vacated as
proposed. Weber and Koegler both agreed that some lot lines will
need to be reconfigured to correct this situation.
Mueller questioned how the Shoreland Management Ordinance will
affect this application. He expressed a concern about lots 1, 2,
and 3 having bluff's and if these lots would need variances from
the Shoreland Management Ordinance to be buildable. Koegler
commented that there may be some impact as steep slopes and bluff
areas may not account for lot area.
Weber confirmed that docks are not being planned for this
development.
Chair Meyer opened the public hearing.
The following people spoke in opposition to the proposed
development: Harold Meeker, Alice Rogers, Phil Shepherd, Ron
DeVinney, Nancy Clough, Ed Peterson, Tom Albert, John Edwaard,
Harvey Berquist, and Paul Henry. Some of the comments made in the
negative are as follows:
Concerns were expressed about increased traffic and safety for
children in the area. Traffic on Tuxedo is already too fast
and too much. There is only one point of egress, Tuxedo Blvd.
It was questioned what the long term plan is for the Island.
Density should be addressed. When is it enough?
3. Increased run-off.
Planning Co~isslon Minutes
November 9, 1992
What will the development do to surrounding property owner's
taxes and value of homes?
5. Loss of view.
6. Negative impact on wildlife.
Mark and Julie Lilledahl both spoke in favor of the development,
commenting that the proposed development appears to be well thought
out and would be an improvement to the area. They feel this will
be the best development opportunity for this site as the property
will be developed sooner or later and nine lots are better than
twelve or more. Reuben Hartman also spoke in favor of the
development.
Neil Weber commented that he is concerned about the community and
the environment and this project should improve the wetlands. He
also noted that he had two other plans, one for 16 lots and one for
13 lots, however, he did not think they were good plans for this
property.
Chair Meyer closed the public hearinq.
The concerns relating to increased traffic were discussed by the
Commission.
Mueller commented that the Planning Commission should be able to
review the ramifications the Shoreland Management Ordinance will
have on the proposed development before it goes to the City
Council.
MOTION made by Mueller, seconded by Clapsaddle to table
the request until the City Planner can report how the
Shoreland Management Ordinance will affect the proposed
preliminary plat and to allow the Planning Commission the
opportunity to review the reconfiguration of lots 1, 2,
and 3. Motion carried 5 to 3. Those in favor were
Jensen, Johnson, Hanus, Clapsaddle and Mueller. Meyer,
Voss and Michael opposed.
VOSS commented that he feels the case should be moved along and
that the City Planner could work out the kinks. Meyer and Michael
agreed that any concerns could have been made as conditions upon
approval.
Koegler informed Chair Meyer that City Code Section 330:35 Subd. $
states, "The Planning Commission shall, within thirty (30) days of
the closing of the hearing, recommend approval, modify and
8
Plann[n9 Commission M£nutes November 9, 1992
recommend approval or recommend disapproval of the preliminary plat
or waiver of platting and submit to the City Council their findings
and recommendations. Failure to act within thirty (30) days of the
closing of the hearing shall be deemed as an approval of the
preliminary plat by the Planning Commission."
Koegler will have to consult with the City Attorney to see if the
Shoreland Management Ordinance will apply to this application or
the Final Plat application.
MOTION made by Voss to consider the previous motion to
table this matter, Hanus seconded the motion. Motion
carried 5 to 3. Those in favor were: Voss, Hanus,
Jensen, Meyer and Michael. Mueller, Clapsaddle and
Johnson opposed.
It was suggested that the Planning Commission forward the
preliminary plat to the City Council with a condition that the
reconfiguration of the lot lines be reviewed by the Planning
Commission at Final Plat application.
Mueller commented that he would like the Planning Commission to
understand the impacts of the Shoreland Management Ordinance to
this application. Koegler confirmed that when a preliminary plat
is approved you then have an agreement and if the application for
Final Plat meets the requirements in the agreement the City will
approve it. Koegler stated that lots 1, 2, and 3 may be severely
impacted by the Shoreland Management Ordinance.
MOTION made by Voss to recommend approval of the
conditional use permit as recommended by staff based upon
the following findings of fact: "The Planning Commission
finds that the proposed Teal Pointe development
represents a desirable addition to the development of the
City of Mound. Due to the unique natural characteristics
of the site including steep slope areas, mature tree
cover and a significant wetland area, approval of the
identified variances is warranted and it is appropriate
to approve a conditional use permit to establish the
project as a Planned Development Area." Approval is
recommended subject to the concerns expressed by the city
Planner, the City Engineer, Public Works Department and
the Planning Commission. Motion seconded by Mueller for
discussion.
Mueller commented that he is in favor of the motion if it includes
all his concerns relating to the streets shown as Outlots A and B
cannot be used for park dedication, it addresses the issue of
9
Planning Commission Ninutes November 9, 1992
reconfiguring lots 1, 2, and 3, and it addresses the concerns about
how the Shoreland Management Ordinance applies to the development.
Concern was expressed by other commissioners that the motion was
too vague.
MOTION failed 6 to 2. Those in favor were:
Mueller. Those opposed were: Meyer,
Clapsaddle, Hanus, Johnson, and Jensen.
Voss and
Michael,
MOTION made by Hanus to recommend approval of the Planned
Development Area for Teal Point as recommended by staff
and including the following conditions:
All the conditions as listed in the City Engineer and
City Planner's recommendations.
An agreement needs to be established with the property
owners of the lots adjacent to the street extension off
of Drummond Road as it was noted by the City Engineer
that fill will be required to meet the required grade for
Outlot &.
3. Drummond Road not be vacated.
As a result of not vacating Drummond Road, lots 1, 2, and
3 will need to be reconfigured.
Due to the steep slopes and bluffs on lots 1, 2, and 3,
it should be verified that these lots as proposed will be
buildable.
Delay recording of street vacations until final plat is
filed.

- PUBLIC HEARING.
City Planner, Mark Koegler, reviewed the applicant's request for a
conditional use permit to operate a business involving the design
and manufacturing of artwear (jewelry) which is then sold by
various retail outlets. According to the Zoning Code, businesses
involving the assembly/storage of glass and pottery items are
allowed in the zone as conditional uses.
The proposed use is consistent with the Mound Zoning Code and is
not expected to negatively impact any surrounding businesses or
land uses. Staff recommended approval of the request.
Chair Meyer opened the public hearing. There being no one present
to speak on the issue, Chair Meyer closed the public hearing.
MOTION made by Ranus, seconded by Michael to recommend
approval of the Conditional Use Permit as recommended by
staff. Motion carried 7 to 1. Those in favor were:
Meyer, Michael, Clapsaddle, Hanus, Johnson, Voss and

- 28~ PID ~19-117-23 32 0143 & 1044. MINOR SUBDIVISION.
City Planner, Mark Koegler, reviewed the applicant's request for a
minor subdivision to modify a lot line. The new line will remove
an existing jog that occurs between the two property ownerships.
The lot line modification is not in conflict with any of the
provisions of the Mound Zoning Code.
There is a problem on Parcel B due to the existing house that
substantially encroaches onto Lot 9 which is not part of Parcel B.
There is an easement for the encroachment, however, according to
the survey the extreme northwest corner of the house is located
outside the existing easement.
The encroachment is a private matter that is not directly connected
to the relocation of the lot line. It will be necessary for the
owner to eventually resolve this issue since it creates a major
title problem. It is not necessary that it be resolved as part of
the requested minor subdivision.
Staff recommended approval. Koegler noted that the City Attorney
could develop disclaimer language until the problem with the
encroachment is resolved.
MOTION made by Meyer, seconded by Voss to recommend
approval of the minor subdivision as recommended by staff
and that the City Attorney develop the proper disclaimer
language to address the problem due to the encroachment
caused by the structure on Parcel B. Motion carried
unanimously.
This item will be reviewed by the City Council on November 24,

WAIVER TO WORK RULES:
Due to the late hour, it was the consensus of the Planning
Commission to complete Case #92-068, and the remaining discussion

CASE i~92-068: NIKE GILBERTSONm 4350 WlLSHIRE BLVD. m FIRST RE-
ARRANGEMENT OF PHELPS ISLAND PARK FIRST DIVISION~ LOTS 78 & 79, PID
~19-117-23 13 0010. VARIANCE.
City Planner, Mark Koegler, reviewed the applicant's request for a
variance to allow expansion of the existing home. The existing
home lies approximately 20 feet from the ordinary high water line
of Lake Minnetonka. The existing structure has a 16.2 foot setback
off of Wilshire Blvd. The proposed expansion calls for a deck on
the lake side that would decrease the lakeshore setback to 17.3
feet and decrease the setback from Wilshire Blvd. to 2.7 feet.
According to information supplied by the applicant, approximately
22 feet exists from the wall of the proposed garage to the curb
line of the existing street.
Staff has a significant concern that the proposed building is
simply too much mass for the size of the existing lot.
Accordingly, it is suggested that the Planning Commission consider
tabling the subject request with specific direction being provided
to the applicant to reduce the size of the proposed addition and
its encroachment into the setback required along Wilshire Blvd.
If the Planning Commission finds that sufficient hardship or
practical difficulty exists to approve the request as submitted, it
is suggested that such approval include the requirement that the
existing fence and accessory building which lies within the public
right-of-way be relocated onto private land.
The applicant, Mike Gilbertson, presented a modified proposal to
the Commission which reflects a reduced garage size. The length of
the east bay of the garage is now proposed to be 21' versus the
original 26'8" which will increase the proposed setback to the
front property line to 7'6" and 22'6" to the curb. Gilbertson also
addressed hardcover and commented that a hardcover area greater
than 30% is not unique in this area.
In regards to the fence which currently encroaches on the right-of-
way 100%, Gilbertson proposed building a fence along the property
line parallel to County Road 125, however, requested a variance to
allow a 5' high privacy fence. City Code limits fences to 4' high
in the front yard and to 3' high within 50' of the ordinary high
water elevation.
Gilbertson also requested that the shed be allowed to remain until
the proposed addition is completed so it may be used for storage.
He stated that he has been in contact with Mr. Karl Holtz at
Hennepin County and he has indicated no immediate concern with
respect to the shed or fence. Gilbertson agreed to remove the shed
13

before July 30, 1993, assuming other arrangements cannot be made.
Hanus commented that he likes the new plan. Jensen remarked that
due to the odd shape of this lot she is in favor of granting a
variance for a 5' fence in the front yard.
MOTION made by Hanus, seconded by Mueller to recommend
approval of the following variances:
1. A 22.5' front yard setback variance.
A fence height variance of 1' and 2' as needed to allow
a 5' high fence along front property line.
A 32.7' lake side setback variance measured to the
proposed deck.
These variances are recommended for approval to allow
construction of a garage addition and deck as shown on the
revised plans received November 9, 1992 upon the condition
that the shed and fence be moved off the public right-of-way
(Wilshire Blvd.) by July 30, 1993. MOTION carried
unanimously.
This case will be heard by the City Council on November 24, 1992.
MOTION made by Hanus, seconded by Voss, to adjourn the
meeting at 11:35 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.

DEMONSTRATION FOR A NEW LIGHT SUGGESTED TO BE TESTED AT HIGHLANI~
END PARK BY RECOMMENDATION OF LMCD REPRESENTATIVE, TOM REESE.
Tom Reese, Mound's LMCD Representative explained to the Park and
Open Space Commission that the LMCD has addressed the issue of
offensive lighting on the shoreland of Lake Minnetonka. Offensive
lighting is lights that make night navigation difficult due to
glare which creates safety hazards. A Technical Review Committee
created language that was presented to the City's on Lake
Minnetonka for adoption. In this language, a type of fixture was
suggested, and now they are proposing to test this type of lighting
at Highland End Park.
Tom Reese introduced Ray Mlazgar, a representative for Hubbell
Lighting. Mr. Mlazgar distributed copies of a brochure and
displayed the light fixture. The fixture supplied for a sample is
a 250 watt.
Reese commented that there are at least a dozen locations of the
lake that have offensive lighting. If the Park Commission
approves, Highland End Park will be used to sample the 250 watt
light for the LMCD. There will be no cost for the light unless it
is determined that the City wants to keep the light. The City will
have to pay for installation and use.
Mr. Mlazgar stated the cost of the light fixture is $203. The cost
of the bulbs are about $40 each. It is suggested that a 30' high
pole be used for a 400 watt light.
Fackler projected on the overhead a survey of Highland End Park and
it was noted that the existing light consists of one pole
approximately 200' from the shoreline and it has two security
lights mounted on it. The height of the pole is not known.
Fackler commented that he will need to check with NSP to see if the
existing pole can accommodate the sample light and what the cost of
installation would be.
Park and Open Space Commission Minutes
November 12~ 1~2
Concern was expressed by the Commission that the sample light will
not provide enough light for the docks and sliding hill at Highland
End Park. Mr. Mlazgar commented that a few lights may be needed.
The Park Commission concurred to have Jim investigate NSP fees for
installation and the issue will be discussed again at the December
10th meeting.
REVIEW 1993 DOCK LOCATION MAP - PUBLIC HEARING.
The Dock Inspector informed the Commission that no changes have

present to speak on the issue, Chair Skoglund closed the public
hearing.
MOTION made by Asleson, seconded by Mueller, the
recommend approval of the 1993 Dock Location Map which is
unchanged from 1992. Motion carried unanimously.
The Dock Location Map will be presented to the City Council for
approval on November 24, 1992.

CONSTRUCTION ON PUBLIC LANDS PERMIT APPLICATION BY ROGER
STEPHANSON~ 4601 ISLAND VIEW DRIVEr BLOCK 1~ LOT 7~ DEVONr FOR A
MASONRY RETAINING WALL.
Parks Director, Jim Fackler, reviewed the applicant's request to
construct a retaining wall on Devon Commons. This request is
actually a modification to Resolution #92-62 which approved
construction of a stairway on May 26, 1992. A small portion of the
hillside was cut to install a landing at the bottom of the hill and
this area needs to be retained with the proposed wall.
Staff recommended approval of the requested Construction on Public
Lands Permit to construct a retaining wall as proposed, upon the
following conditions:
Expiration date of this permit be concurrent with the existing
permit due to expire five (5) years from May 26, 1992.
The retaining wall shall be installed per the manufacturers
specifications.
2
Park and Open Space Couission M£nu%es November 12, 1992
The applicant/abutting property owner is responsible for all
costs incurred, including installation and maintenance.
Application for renewal must be made with change in home
ownership.
Mueller expressed a concern that this situation happened because of
poor planning and hoped there will not be a lot of these types of
requests.
Ahrens questioned if the existing permit expiration date could not
be altered to meet an expiration date five years from the approval
of this request. Fackler commented that the intent is to have the
expiration dates of all permits concurrent for each property so all
application renewals can be reviewed at the same time.
MOTION made by Ahrens, seconded by Byrnes to recommend
approval of the requested Construction on Public Lands
Permit for a retaining wall at 4601 Island View Drive as
recommended by staff with the exception that condition #1
be changed so that Resolution #92-62 and this request
have the same expiration date which will be five years
from approval of this request by the City Council.
Motion carried unanimously.
Mueller questioned if the existing stairs have been removed yet.
Fackler commented that the Building Official has not yet been
requested to do a final inspection.
This request will be reviewed by the City Council on November 24,
1992.
General Discussion.
Commissioner Anderson commented that the same type of keystone
retaining wall proposed to be used by Mr. Stephanson is the same
type of materials she saw used for landscaping in another
community's downtown area. She suggested this type of landscaping
be used along the sidewalk in front of the Coast to Coast parking
lot. She suggested the keystone retaining wall material be lined
up with a bench area molded into it with plantings and mushroom
lighting.
Fackler commented that he will have to investigate who owns the
property, it is either Hennepin County right-of-way or privately
owned property. Fackler will get prices if it is a potential
project.

PARK DEDICATION DETERMINATION FOR PROPOSED PRELIMINARY PLAT FO~
"'TEAL POINTE."
The Park Director reported that an application for a preliminary
plat has been received for a development to be named Teal Pointe.
The Park and Open Space Commission needs to make a recommendation
for park dedication requirements for this development.
The City Planner's report explains that the proposed plat shows
Outlots A & B which are proposed to be owned by a homeowners
association and contain the streets and shall not be considered for
park dedication. It has been recommended that the surrounding
wetlands area be designated as Outlot C. The developer intends to
convey Outlot C to the City of Mound. The City Planner also
recommended that Outlot C not be counted as a credit against park
dedication.
Park dedication requirements are identified in City Code Section
330:120. Land dedication of 10% is required, or at the option of
the City, the developer shall contribute a "a minimum of ten
percent (10%) of the total fair market value of the land being
divided. In no case shall the dedication in cash be less than $500
for each lot being created."
It is staff's recommendation that the park dedication requirement
be $500 for each of the proposed 9 single family lots to be created
for a total of $4,500. The balance in the park dedication fund is
approximately $15,700.
The Commission questioned if it was the intent of the developer to
convey the wetlands area (Outlot C) in lieu of a park dedication
fee. Mueller questioned if Outlot C was retained for park
dedication if the City as a whole would benefit from the wetlands.
It was questioned if the DNR will actually control the wetlands.
The Parks Director also suggested that it would be beneficial for
the City to retain an access to the proposed Outlot C.
MOTION made by Asleson, seconded by Anderson to recommend
to the City Council that $500 per lot be obtained for
Park Dedication for the Teal Pointe development. Motion
carried unanimously.
This item will be reviewed by the City Council on December 8, 1992.
WINTER DOCK STORAGE ON PUBLIC LAND AND IN WATER.
The Park Commission, at its October meeting, requested the Dock
Inspector to provide them with a listing of areas that are
protected and that docks may be left in the water during the winter
without being damaged by ice or weather. The Dock Inspector's
4
Park and Open Space Cou£ssion N£nutes Nove~er 12, 1992
report was reviewed by the Commission.
The Commission has a concern that when docks are left in the water
through the winter and they are damaged by ice or other natural
causes, the docks then float away or sink to the bottom and pollute
the lake. It was also discussed that docks and dock poles that are
left in the water through the winter can be hazardous for
snowmobilers. It was noted that City Code does not allow only
poles to be left in the ice without the dock section. It was the
consensus of the Commission that the Dock Inspector check his list
of protected areas this winter and next spring to see if these
areas are safe to have docks left in the water during with winter.
Mueller suggested that Emerald Channel be taken off the list as it
is used by snowmobilers.
PARK AND OPEN SPACE COMMISSION WORK RULES.
The memorandum received from Tom Casey regarding additional
thoughts on the proposed work rules was reviewed by the Commission.
The following comments were expressed:
a,3o
Correction made.
The Commission agreed to amend the third sentence to
read, "Any business unfinished at the scheduled closing
time shall be taken up as old business at the next
regular meeting."
B.10.
Correction made.
B.17.
Casey suggested the following language: "When a proposed
action of the commission concerns an individual property
owner, each member of the commission shall state, before
a vote is taken, whether he/she made a site visit to the
property." It was the consensus of the Commission that
this language was too strong. Asleson commented that it
may be perceived that if the site was not visited by a
Commission member that they do not care about the
application or that they are not making a good decision.
B.25.
Casey suggested removing from line 4: "remove
himself/herself from the discussion" The City Manager
commented that this language is necessary and that if a
Commissioner has a conflict of interest with an issue
they should physically step down from the table and not
be part of the discussion.
Skoglund questioned what happened to the suggested language "I move
that." The question of time for adjournment was also questioned,
should it be 10:00 or 11:007 It was suggested that the work rules
be placed on the December agenda.
