1.6 REQUEST TO ~DDRESS THE COUNCIL FROM RESIDENTS RE: TEAL POINTE
DEVELOPMENT
The Mayor stated that the neighbors have expressed an interest in
keeping this land from being developed and have asked the Council
what can be done as far as acquiring the property. He explained
that the City does not have the resources to go out and buy the
property. The Staff has put together some numbers of costs if a
group of 50 people in that neighborhood agreed to an assessment to
purchase that property for a park. He reviewed two scenarios.
Each depicted a $1000 assessment for 15 years, one at 8% interest
and another at 6% interest. Respectively they are $2.93/$1,000 the
1st year and $2.53/$1,000 the first year. At this point we do not
have a purchase price.
Someone asked how many households there are in Mound.
answered 3200.
The Mayor
January 26, 1993
Councilmember Jensen explained that the costs above do not include
any closing costs, administrative costs, etc. That could be the
City's contribution.
Barbara Needham Miller asked if the remainder of the City could be
assessed for this acquisition. The Mayor explained that to spread
this cost to anyone outside the area would be very difficult
because you have to prove benefit to their property.
Harold Meeker stated that he has spoken to Dr. Jim Smith, Supt. of
Westonka Schools and they are interested in keeping the property as
a nature area. Mr. Meeker asked that this be delayed until they
can regroup.
Tom Casey, stated he would like to say a few things about the City
and nature conservation areas. He stated he did not think the
benefit to the community should be defined as who is going to use
the property, but there are protection values by preserving that
land even if no one walks on it and there are some issues that need
to be addressed in terms of actual use of any property that we have
in parks. That's what the nature conservation area program was
designed to talk about and that is what is the level of use that's
necessary to preserve the habitat we have left in Mound. So if you
look at use, you will not have a lot of people using the property,
by virtue of them being far away and by virtue of the delicacy of
the land. He maintained, on behalf of the neighbors, that it is in
the best interest of the City to preserve its land. He stated this
is a chance to sit down and work out this problem. There are
several possibilities, the school board, park dedication funds,
there might be interest in the community for a referendum. He
asked that the Council hold off on passing this for a couple of
weeks to give them time to get the neighbors together; find out
what the numbers are from Mr. Weber; find out the City's interest;
find out the School District's interest; and work together to see
if this land can be saved, because once it's gone and it's
developed it is gone forever. They would like to know in detail
what the City discretionary funds are and contingency funds so that
they, as an educated community, can suggest to the City what they
would like to have this money spent for, instead of another
building, etc.
David Needham, 5954 Lynwood Blvd., presented a letter written by
his Mother. Before a final decision is made we need to let the
public as a whole get involved, and the people here that are
concerned, be given a chance for other solutions or more feasible
alternatives to this.
Laurie Robinson, Windsor Road, - What is the price of this land?
Since Mr. Weber basically bought the property for back taxes, is
there any way to keep him from raising the price up to $200,000?
January 26, 1993
The city Attorney stated that there is no liability because Mr.
Weber brought the property for baCk taxes. Mr. Weber is the owner
at this point.
Glenn Melena - 5139 Windsor, stated he would like to see the time
extended.
Barbara Miller - complained that she only got notice of this on
December 30th and that is too short a time to deal with this big
issue.
The Mayor stated that the City does its best to let people know
what is going on, i.e. agendas in the newspaper, the press puts
articles in the newspapers.
There was a question of how much the City would gain in taxes if
this property is developed. The Council stated they are not
considering this to increase tax base. Further that when houses
are built, they require services so it is kind of a break even.
Harold Meeker, asked for some kind of guarantee on the retaining
walls that may be installed along Windsor Road. The Engineer
stated that the retaining walls would have to meet the engineering
criteria.
Tom Casey, stated they hope this resolution is tabled for a couple
of weeks. In case it is not tabled, he stated he had some further
comments on the proposed resolution.
Peter Meyer, Sunset Road - asked that the item be tabled.
1.7
RESOLUTION REGARDING TEAL POINTE DEVELOPMENT. BLOCKS 10, 11,
15 & 16m WHIPPLEm PID ~25-117-24 12 0225~ 0118t 0119f 0120.
PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AREA~ & VARIANCE
The City Planner stated that the proposed resolution was prepared
containing conditions that address the points that were raised at
the last meeting.
The Mayor asked if Mr. Weber would come forward to see if there is
any interest on his part in having the land purchased. The Mayor
asked if it would be possible to table this to the first meeting in
February. Mr. Weber stated that he has gone through the
subdivision process for quite a while to get to this point. The
concept of purchase of the land, they are very amenable to, very
willing to discuss, and are interested in seriously talking about
it. If the city is interested in facilitating discussion on a
purchase, they are very interested in participating. If it is in
the best interest of the City that this land be kept the way it is
then they would support that. He stated the process needs to be
January 26, 1993
underway. He stated that there was a piece of property in Hopkins
that was recently purchased by that community from a developer in
a similar situation (a townhouse development). The City of Hopkins
loaned the several residents the money. The money to the developer
came from the City however, it was set up as a loan to a community
organization (association). He stated he thought there were 4
individuals that became the association. The reason was that then
those individuals contribute money to the association which repays
the loan. That makes their money that they have contributed tax
deductible as opposed to an assessment which is not. The 4
individuals have signed some kind of agreement that says that if
they default on the loan it automatically becomes an assessment
against their property.
Mr. Weber further stated that, as a developer, they would be able
to take a discount on the property as well. Then the developer
would also get a tax deduction.
Mr. Weber stated that the land value would be as follows:
9 Lots and develop houses at between $150,000 to $180,000.
Generally mortgage companies will take the land value of that
kind of home from 25%-30%. If you take 25%, that is $37,500
to $45,000/ per lot. That is a ready to build lot. That
would put the price at $357,000 to $405,000, minus the costs
of improvements, i.e., streets, storm sewer, water, sewer,
lift station, access road. That could bring the cost down to
the $200,000 range.
Another way to look at this would be to say, "What does the
developer have into the land as costs?" and "What is it worth
while for him to receive for that investment?", which is a
negotiated item. Mr. Weber stated he cannot tell what that is
right now.
He stated they are perfectly willing to look at that.
Mr. Weber stated that what they are concerned about is that the
proposed resolution has a long list of things to be completed
before it is approved. Mr. Weber stated that this resolution is
approving a preliminary plat contingent upon a whole laundry list
of items. The EAW alone will take a least 60 days, probably closer
to 90 or 120 days to complete. The EAW will address the majority
of the concerns expressed regarding, run-off, wildlife, mature
trees, etc.
The Mayor stated that his idea of suspending action at this point
for two weeks, will save the Teal Pointe Development Co. money that
they then would have to add to the purchase price.
January 26, 1993
Mr. Weber expressed concern that this suspension of two weeks will
lead into more delays. He wanted to continue forward while
negotiations are going on.
The City Attorney stated that when all items in the preliminary
plat approval are completed and approved, Mr. Weber then has the
right to demand a final approval and if the Council hasn't acted on
that request for final approval within 60 days of the request
itself then as a matter of law the approval becomes final.
The City Attorney pointed out that everyone needs to understand the
timing of this, i.e. when the application was actually made because
under the statute, a subdivision application shall be preliminarily
approved or disapproved within 120 days following delivery of an
application completed in compliance with the municipal ordinance.
So the Staff should figure out when the 120 days is up. In any
event, if there is going to be a delay the City needs Mr. Weber to
agree that the process be delayed two weeks so that the 120 day
clock does not start to run.
The Planner stated that the key is when the City had a complete
application, when all the things were addressed so we cannot go
back and simply look at the initial application date. That date
should be attainable. He agreed with the Attorney that the owner
should agree or request suspending that for the 2 week period.
Then after that period the 120 day clock would start again.
The Mayor asked what the pleasure of the Council is.
Councilmember Jensen stated that in an ideal world the property
would be kept as open space. She further stated that she has not
spoken with anyone, except Mr. Meyer, who doesn't live near the
site who has said acquire the property. Other residents are not
interested in the purchase of a private park. On the other hand,
if there is a way that the City can facilitate keeping that space
open, she is more than willing to participate in that effort. If
there is a way for the City to finance it internally, that would be
fine, but if it will not work then the City can still assess it
back to people. In terms of the proposed resolution, she had some
real problems with some of the things that are written it, so she
would like to see some changes before she would vote for it. She
stated she would not vote for the resolution as written. She
stated that the Staff did a wonderful job of trying to capture what
was said but some very vague things were said and there are some
generalities that we need to make more specific. If the City and
the residents cannot keep this space open then the development
needs to be done right.
Councilmember Smith stated that he cannot see delaying the
resolution to wait for an offer. He stated he is perfectly willing
January 26, 1993
to help the people find a way to buy the property, if that is their
intention.
Councilmember Jessen agreed, but stated there is a lot of work to
be done in 2 weeks.
The Council then discussed the resolution.
Councilmember Jensen stated the following concerns: Page 336, the 5th Whereas is too general.
Page 336, the 6th Whereas, replace with "Whereas, with
variances associated with extending Windsor Road
provide a street as wide as the current Windsor
Road."
Page 336, the last Whereas, strike it out.
Page 337, 2nd Whereas, replace with "Whereas, the use is
consistent with the existing land use."
Page 338, #4. add the word "Preliminary" to the beginning.
Page 338, #9. This item should have the homeowners
association also address street and private lift
station maintenance and repair.
Page 339, Add #15. Should be a requirement for covenants to
describe the structures and the exterior surfaces
and the designs, especially the design of houses on
Lots 1, 2 and 3.
Also there was concern about the vacation of the streets in
that proposed development. Questions on if after they were
vacated the owner has taken the next legal step to demonstrate
that they belong the Teal Pointe Association. There needs to
be a guarantee in the resolution for this.
The Planner stated that on Page 337, #1, Should read, "A new
preliminary plat drawing shall be prepared and submitted to the
City of Mound. Said drawing shall be generally in conformance with
Exhibit "A" except that it shall identify the retention of Cobden
Road and Drummond Road west of Cobden as public right-of-way. The
portion of Outlot C lying outside of Cobden Road (as shown on
Exhibit "A") shall be dedicated as public right-of-way."
The Council thanked Councilmember Jensen and agreed to have her
items included.
The Council discussed the fact that if the preliminary plat is
approved and all the conditions are met, the City is tied to the
plat.
The Council asked Mr. Weber if he is willing allow a 2 week
suspension in the subdivision time clock. This will give the Staff
time to incorporate the recommendations from tonight into the
resolution and will also give the residents time to come up with
January 26, 1993
plan to acquire the property for open space.
Mr. Weber agreed to the 2 week suspension of time and all the
proposed recommendations tonight. In the meantime, he will
continue to negotiate with the neighborhood. He also asked that an
extension be asked for on the EAW.
Mr. Casey reviewed his letter that was submitted this evening and
brought up the following that he felt should be included in the
proposed resolution:
That representative(s) of the opposing neighborhood group
participate in the EAW. That these representatives be
allowed reasonable access to the property to fulfill the
purposes of the study.
That there be an on-site study by an archaeologist for
Indian artifacts or mounds.
That the developer be required to dedicate land in lieu
of park dedication fees for a nature conservation area.
That Ail Home Owners' Association Articles of
Incorporation, bylaws, and protective covenants be
submitted to neighborhood representative(s) for review
and comment.
That the cost of any road changes or improvements to any
part of Drummond or Windsor Road be borne by the
developer only.
That the developer provide a bond to the City in an
amount to be determined to protect the City and property
owners from any damages resulting from the overflow of
sanitary or storm sewers adjacent to the project and to
upgrade sewers to handle the increased flowage.
That no retaining walls shall be approved by the City
Engineer until the design has been first reviewed by
adjoining property owners to insure that:
a. access to any part of their property is not in any
way impaired;
b. no additional moisture will collect on their
property; and
c. the use and enjoyment of their property will not be
adversely affected in any other way.
The addition of a conservation easement be recorded on
the property (in favor of the City of Mound and other
owners in the plat of Whipple) that states in substance:
January 26, 1993
ae
f.
g.
h.
No tree cutting or trimming except for diseased
trees or when buildings are in jeopardy;
No disturbance of other native flora or fauna;
No fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, shall be
used except to control plants designated as
"noxious" under state law;
No outdoor planting of non-native plants; (except
to be planted in a reasonably sized vegetable
garden);
No motorized access to the property from any public
water;
No dredging of an adjacent public water to benefit
any property owner in the development;
No docks, private or public, shall be allowed in
the development; and
Such other restrictions that will assist in
conserving the native flora and fauna or reduce the
environmental impact of the development.
The developer shall minimize any noise to the community
by building all the houses within one year.
10.
Before the final plat is recorded, the City Council shall
hold a public hearing to determine whether the developer
has complied with all of the conditions in the
preliminary plat.
11.
The developer shall escrow sufficient monies with the
City to insure a clean-up of the property and adjoining
wetlands.
The Council asked questions about the EAW and neighborhood input.
The Planner explained that there are two processes going. One is
that there has been a petition for an EAW and in that case the EQB
makes a determination as to who the responsible governmental unit
(RGU) is. If the City of its own volition requires an EAW, the
City automatically is the RGU and that responsibility does lie with
the City of Mound according to the rules and it cannot be
delegated. The process for doing an EAW is a very public, very
participatory process. In the resolution, the term participation
was used, because the developer or the City in this case can
request information from the developer and does so to minimize its
own costs and therefore the term participant was used that they
(the developer) would be required to supply us with information.
But the responsibility for preparing the document and eventually
approving it lies with the City of Mound and cannot be delegated to
other parties. He further explained that this is a very public
process and open for review to anybody, through the City of Mound,
the EQB, the EQB Monitor (their publication), the Libraries, where
January 26, 1993
the document will actually be available. It will be very available
for comment and for input. The Council decided this does not have
to be explained out in the proposed resolution.
MOTION made by Johnson, seconded by &hrens to direct Staff to
add all of Councilmember Jensen,s recommendations to the
proposed resolution and bring the resolution back in two weeks
for consideration. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion
carried.
Mr. Weber stated that he has been contacted by his insurance
company and they have asked that no one enter the property without
his permission in order to limit liability.
RECYCLOTTO WINNER
The Mayor presented Gary Schaefer, 3126 Westedge Blvd. with $100.00
Westonka Dollars for recycling the week of January 19, 1993.
COMMENTS ~ SUGGESTIONS FROM CITIZENS PRESENT
There were none.
1.8 CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: ZONING CODE MODIFICATIONS AND
SHORELAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE
The Planner explained that the notice for the original hearing was
very clear that the zoning ordinance was going to change but it was
not clear that this also included shoreland changes. Thus, the
notice has been changed and will be republished to reflect both the
zoning modifications and the shoreland management ordinance. This
will be brought back to the Council for final action on February
23rd.
The Planner reviewed the concern that the Council expressed in
November on lot sizes of new subdivisions. The R-1 would remain
10,000 square feet and the R-2 would remain 6,000 square feet and
any new subdivisions would be the same. He reported that if there
are parcels in the City that are considered improperly zoned, they
should be looked at and rezoned based on land configurations and
neighborhood patterns, etc. This rather than try to set up a two
tier system within the various zoning classifications.
The Planning Commission reviewed this last night and had a few
suggestions. There were as follows:
Page. 10 of the Definitions #75. Lot, Lakeshore. should
read as follows: "A lot abutting public lands, abutting
public waters with the exception of designated parks."
January 26, 1993
Page 22, Section 350:435, Subd. 7. should read as
follows: "Sheds and other buildings less than 120 square
feet in floor area shall be subject to a 50 foot setback
from the ordinary high water line of all lakes. Such
structures shall also be subject to accessory building
setbacks."
Page 24, Section 350:440, Subd. 9 should read as follows:
"In residential districts, street frontages created by
the existence of fire lanes having a width not exceeding
15 feet shall be considered side yards or rear yards as
appropriate, subject to applicable district setbacks."
The Mayor reopened the public hearing.
Diane Maloney, owner of property in Mound, complimented the
Council on their action.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
1.9 RET DATE FOR PUBLIC HEARING FOR ZONING CODE MODIFICATIONS AN,~
SHORELAND MANAGE~RNT ORDIN~NC~
MOTION made by Jessen, seconded by Ahrens to set February 23,
1993, for a public hearing to consider the Zoning Code
Modifications and the Shoreland Management Ordinance. The
vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
The Planner stated that at that time there will be a summary
ordinance prepared.
1.10 REVIEW OF PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING REPORT - PROPOSED STO~4
S~WER IMPROVEMENT - COTTONWOOD LANE/DAKOTARAIL, JOHN CAMERON~
CITY E~GINEER
The City Manager stated that the applicant was not present and he
suggested that this be pulled off the agenda to a later date. The
Council agreed.
1.11 RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF $790,00,~
GENERAL OBLIGATION TAX INCREMENT R~FUNDING BONDS, SERIES 1993A
The City Manager explained that this deals with refunding some
bonds that were issued in 1985 for Commerce Place. On October 27,
1985, the City issued $1,800,000 General Obligation Tax Increment
Redevelopment Bonds for the purpose of financing the public
improvement costs associated with the City's Commerce Place
Redevelopment and Tax Increment Financing District. The callable
maturities, 2000 through 2004, totaling $750,000 of principal, are
outstanding at a net interest rate of 8.82%. Based on current
January 26, 1993
market conditions it is estimated that these bonds could be
refinanced at a net interest rate of 5.33% providing a net savings
to the City, net of all costs of issuance, of approximately $35,500
with a present value of $22,900, or 17.8% of the interest cost.
The City financial consultant, is recommending that the City
proceed with the sale of a "crossover" refunding bond issue that
would advance refund the 2000 through 2004 maturities of the 1985
Bonds. Crossover refunding is a mechanism whereby only the
callable bonds of an issue are refinanced at lower interest rates.
The City will continue to pay principal and interest on the non-
callable bonds until the call date of October 1, 1999. At the call
date the escrow account, which is funded primarily from bond
proceeds, matures and pays off the callable bonds. Subsequently,
the City will then start to pay principal and interest on the new
bonds. During the period of time the new bonds are outstanding
until the call date, the escrow account will pay the interest on
those new obligations.

16 & $7f BLOCK 13, WHIPPLE. VACAT]~ PORTION OF WINDSOR ROAD
pUBLIC HEARINO,
The Building Official reviewed the City Engineer's report on the
request to vacate a portion of Windsor Road. The improved portion
of Windsor Road extends approximately seven (7) feet in front of
Lot 15, according to a survey for Lots 3 & 4, Block 18, Whipple.
Staff recommended to vacate only that portion of the Windsor Road
right-of-way adjacent to Lots 16 and 17, Block 13, Whipple. It was
also recommended that the City retain a minimum 20 foot wide
utility and drainage easement centered on the portion to be
vacated.
The Building Official further informed the Commission that the City
Engineer stated that this area has only a 5 percent grade,
therefore, it is possible to construct a street in this area.
However, there is no evident reason to retain the street.
Welland confirmed with staff that if the vacation was approved
there are no surrounding properties that would be landlocked.
It was questioned what the advantage would be to vacate this
street. One advantage would be that the abutting property owners
would gain land.
Chair Michael opened the public hearing.
Glen Melena stated that he is not opposed to the street vacation,
however it may not be appropriate; he is concerned that if the Teal
Pointe development is approved the street may be needed in the
future to help with traffic. Hanus believes that this reduces
traffic when the street is not improved.
Rueb Hartman stated that he and Mrs. Robinson are opposed to the
street vacation, because once it is vacated, it is gone forever.
Paul Larson who owns lots 3 and 4 across the street is in favor of
the vacation.
The abutting owner to the south, Debbie Balli, stated that if the
street is vacated, she wants half.
The Building Official noted that the applicant had constructed a
shed upon the right-of-way, however, the shed has since been moved,
and this action may have inspired the application. Clapsaddle and
Weiland both questioned if gaining property is a reason to vacate
a street? It was noted that the vacation will not correct any
nonconformity.
NOTION made by Voss, seconded by Clapsaddle to deny the
request to vacate a portion of Windsor Road as there is
an overriding public interest to retain the property.
Johnson commented that there is not need to retain the street and
he feels it would be a detriment to have another access onto the
already busy Tuxedo Blvd. Hanus does not see a benefit for the
City to retain the street. It was noted that the city currently
maintains the property and if a tree needs to be removed it is at
the expense of the City. Clapsaddle commented that if the street
were improved, traffic circulation could help the area.
NOTION to deny carried 5 to 2. Those in favor of denial
were~ Clapsaddlo, Wolland, Nichael, Voss and Jansen.
Hanus and Johnson were opposed.
The Secretary informed the applicant that the City Council will
discuss a date for a public hearing at their January 12 1992
meeting. ,

Dear Jon:
As requested, we have reviewed the application to vacate a portion of
Windsor Road and have the following recommendations:
The applicants have asked the City to vacate Windsor Road adjacent to their
property, Lots 15, 16 & 17, Block 13, Whipple. The improved portion of
Windsor Road extends approximately seven (7) feet in front of Lot 15,
according to a survey submitted as part of a variance application for Lots
3 and 4, Block 18, Whipple. which is located across the street. Our
recommendation is to vacate only that portion of the Windsor Road
right-of-way adjacent to Lots 16 and 17, Block 13, Whipple. We also
recommend that the City retain a minimum 20-foot wide utility and drainage
easement centered on the portion to be vacated.

HAND DELIVER ONLY
RE: TEAL POINTE DEVELOPMENT - proposed resolution
Dear Mr. Shukle,
Please include this letter and the following material in the
council packet for the meeting on Tuesday, February 9, 1993.
Excerpts from a February 4, 1993 letter from Neil
Weber. His letter states that he values the
property "... in the $263,000 to $290,000 range."
If park dedication fees are to be imposed in lieu of
land, then the ordinance imposes fees in the $26,300
to $29,000 range.
Handwritten calculations submitted by Neil Weber at
a meeting with Skip Johnson on February 2, 1993.
This letter also indicates that Mr. Weber believes
the property to be within the $263,250 to $286,875
range.
Letter from the Minnesota Historical Society to Mr.
Weber, dated February 5, 1993. I emphasize
paragraph 3, "... the proposed development area has
a high potential to contain archaeological
habitation sites. For this reason, we would
recommend that an archaeological survey of the
project areas be completed before the project is
undertaken." This letter supports the position of
the neighbors that an on-site study be completed
before the plat is approved.
Thank you again for your cooperation.

Mound, MN 55364
Date: February 8, 1993
Dear Tom,
I share your concern about the possibility of Native American sites being
affected by the proposed development in Mound. Since I completed ~oth my
Bachelor's and .~faster'~ degrees ac ~he University o£ Minnesota I am very
familiar with the rich heritage of the area and feel a special affinity for the
%ndian cultures in which I did re~arch for r0any years. Also, as a previous
reside~lt of Mound, I am aware of the high probability of cultural resource
sites beiog found almost anywhere near tile Lakes and other natural waterways. I
should also point out that the waters of Lake Minnetonka were sacred to both
the Ojibwa and Sioux, and there is a high likelihood that sacred or burial
sites may be present in this area.
Since I have not done cultural resource work in Minnesota for awhile, I suggest
that you contact your State Historic Preservation Office and solicit their
opinion on wha~ measure~ migh~ be pursued ~o en~ure that the archeolo~ical
sites are- located and protected. If it is necessary to hire an outside
consultant I think a reasonable estimate, might be about $500 to survey a 5 acre
parcel, ~ut this would be contingent upon the number and nature o£ sites
located in the survey area.
T probably don't need to draw to your attention the increasing amount of
leglslagion which protects Native Americans and their spiritual values. I refer
her~ to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (25 USC 3001
[1990]) and the American %ndian Religious Freedom Act (42 USC 1996 [1980]),
Just to name a few. Hera in the Rocky Mountain states we are also seeing that
Native American tribes have an increasing awareness of their civil rights, and
we see increasingly frequent appeals and law suits when our actions jeopardize
sites of potential importance.
I have been in contact with colleagues at the University of Minnesota who may
'be. able to direct you to a qualified professional who can consult with you on
this ma~er. If t can b~ of any further assistance do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,

SLr/L1ECT; Teal Pointe Park Dedication Requirement
Thc rcso]ution for Teal Pointe contains a condition suggested by the Mound Park and Open
Space Commission that calls for a park dedication requirement of $500.00 per Int. The
Subdivision Ordinance states, "cash contribution shall be a minimmn nf ten percent (10%) of
the fair market value of the land being divide, ri. In no ca.~e ,~hall thc dedication In casl~ be less
than $500 tbr each Ici being created." At the time that the Park Commission tormulated its
recommendafion nn the cash dedication rextuircment, the value of thc Teal Puintc property was
unknown. Since that time. value Information has been dist;uss~ h~ public meetings.
At $500 l~r k)t, Teal Poiutc will generate park fees totalling $4500.00. If this is intended to
lcprcscnt 10% of thc fair market valuc of thc land, thc land would have a corresponding value
of approximatcly $45,000. At the last City Council m~ting, the developer stated publicly that
thc land valuc may b~ in the range of $200,000. While this may not represent a final nt~mber,
it obviously is significantly above the $45,000 figure. Based on a value ct' approximately
$200,000, the corre.~ponding park dedication requiremenl would he $20.000 or :$2222 per lot.
As part of its deliberatinn; on the Teal Poinre resolution, the City Council may want to
reconsider the park dedication requirement, The Subcltvislon Ordinance is vcry clear on thc
City's intent in requiring a cash dedication. It states that thc contribution ~ Ix: a minimmn
of 10%. Under normal circumstances, the $500 per lot fee is used only when thc property has
a low value or perhaps when value is u,,knowa.
If thc City Council elects to impose the 10% park cash dedication requirement, it will be.
ne, ccssary to modify condition//6 in the proposed resolution.

TO: MAYOR/%ND CITY COUNCIL ~,
FROM: ED SHUKLE# CITY MAN&GER
SUBJECT: CITY OF HOPKINS LOAN AGREEMENT -
MINNEHAHA OAKS ASSOCIATION
At the City Council meeting of January 26, 1993, regarding the
Teal Pointe discussion, Neil Weber mentioned that the city of
Hopkins had a similar request regarding a private piece of property
that was in a natural state of heavy tree growth and neighbors of
this piece of property requested that the city purchase this land
from a private owner, rather than have it developed into a
townhouse complex. The parcel of land was one and one half acres
in size and was between an apartment complex and a single family
neighborhood. The residents of the single family neighborhood did
not want the townhouse complex to be located on this piece of
property for fear of lowering their property values. In addition,
they wanted to preserve the natural setting that was existing on
the property. Initially, there was going to be an assessment to
the property owners under Minnesota Statutes chapter 429, where the
city would purchase the property and the four affected property
owners would pay 100% of the assessment cost over a 15 year period.
Somewhere in the process, the idea of a loan agreement was
developed whereby an association would be formed, called Minnehaha
Oaks Association, and the association would pay back the city over
15 years at 8% interest. Attached is some information from the
city of Hopkins regarding this loan agreement, listing the primary
issues for consideration and comparing direct assessment to
property owners versus direct loan to the association.

Council Report 92-2'
LOAN AGREEMENT - MINNEHAHA OAKS ASSOCIATION
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to adopt
Resolution No. 92-107 which cancels the special assessment relatinq to th~
acquisition of the Mark Z. Jones property, and authorize the Mayor and City
Manaqer to execute a loan agreement between the City of Hopkins, Minnehaha
Oaks Association, and applicable home owners.
Overview.
On October 20, 1992 the City Council approved an assessment roll involving
four home owners as a means to reimburse the City for expenses incurred for
the acquisition of the Mark Z. Jones property. During this same meeting,
as well as during the Council's November 10 meeting, staff discussed the
concept of the City providing a direct loan to the Association in'the
amount of $175,000 with the understanding that four or more home owners
would be assessed directly in the event the Association did not make its
annual payment. As a result of these discussions, the City Council
directed staff to continue to work with the Minnehaha Oaks Association on
details pertaining to a loan arrangement. At this point, it appears the
basic fundamentals of the loan agreement have been worked out. However, ie
;hould be noted that the attached agreement is still in draft form and i
being reviewed by City staff, Association and the homeowners. It is hoped
that by the time Council meets the agreement will be signed or, more
likely, in a format which has been found acceptable by all parties.
If the loan arrangement becomes the means to finance the acquisition of the
Mark Z. Jones property, it is necessary for the City to cancel the special
assessment roll which was adopted on October 20.
Primary Issues to Consider
o What are the details pertaining to the proposed loan arrangement?
o What are some of the consequences of each method - direct assessment
to homeowner versus direct loan to the Association?

Primary Issues to Consider
What are the details pertaining to the proposed loan arrangement?
The basic principals of the loan proposal are as follows:
o $175,000 loan from the City of Hopkins to the Minnehaha Oaks
Association.
Terms - 8% per annum for 15 years (declining interest - similar
to a home mortgage).
15 equal payments of approximately $20,500 per year to the City,
although the first year payment may be adjusted (assumes no
prepayments).
Total principal and interest paid after the entire term -
approximately $306,000..
o Prepayments would be allowed.
Security provisions - in the event of non-payment by the
Association, the City would assess the four home owners for a pro
rata share of the yearly payment which was not paid. Each
property owner would be also liable for a pro rata share of the
entire principal and interest amount on the loan, which equals
approximately $76,000 to '$77,000 per property owner (assuming
four property owners are involved). This liability would decline
yearly as payments were made by the Association or through the
assessments to the home owners.
What are some of the consequences of each method - direct assessment
versus direct loan?
Direct assessment to property owners
- Follows the terms of the original assessment agreement.
- Does not allow assessed home owners to make partial payments
Is likely that an existing home owner would be required bY a new
buyer to pay off the entire assessment at time of sale of
property
Creates difficulties in terms of how the Association would
allocate donations or grants it might receive to the four'home
owners to assist them in paying for their assessment.
Direct loan to the Association
Allows the Association to make prepayments on the loan.
Allows the four home owners to make donations to the Association
for the Association,s annual payment.
CR92-238
Page 3
Is likely that if a home owner desired to sell his home, the home
owner would need to pay off the entire assessment amount that the
property may be liable for.
Resolves questions on how the Association provides funds to the
homeowners.
May result in the loan being paid off more quickly than the
special assessment process.
By and large, the benefits of utilizing the loan arrangement instead
of the direct special assessment are primarily in favor of the
Association and home owners. The City is basically providing an
alternate method to allow for the $175,000 to be repaid in perhaps a
more efficient and useful manner and at the same time provide the City
with the necessary security provisions. One benefit to the City by
undertaking 'the loan arrangement relates to the fact that the loan may
actually be paid off more quickly than through the special assessment
process due to the fact that partial prepayments are permitted. The
loan method will require additional bookkeeping on the City's part
regarding prepayments which might be made, etc. However, this should
not be overly burdensome.
Alternatives
The City Council has the following alternatives:
o Adopt staff's recommendation
Do not approve staff's recommendation. This would result in the
assessment roll being certified to the County.
Approve staff's recommendation but modify the terms of the loan
arrangement. It would seem appropriate to have some kind of
assurance that the Minnehaha Oaks Association and property owners
are in agreement with changes to the terms of the loan agreement.
Continue matter for further information. This is really not an
option for the City Council due to the fact that if the
assessment roll is not canceled it will be necessary for staff to
certify the assessment roll to Hennepin County.

1/2 OF 18, BLOCK 1, DEVON, PID ~30-117-23 22 0009. VARIANCE.
Building Official, Jon Sutherland, reviewed the applicant's request
to add a deck, railing, and stairway onto an existing nonconforming
boat house. The boat house is nonconforming due to a nonconforming
zero foot side yard setback and a 1.3 foot rear yard setback. The
required setbacks to both the side and rear lot lines is 4 feet.
The proposed expansion is inconsistent with the current code. It
is the intent of the pending Shoreland Management Regulations not
to allow boat houses to occur within the 50 foot setback and that
is consistent with the majority of other Minnetonka lakeshore
communities.
Staff recommended that the request not be approved and that further
consideration should be given to allow a guardrail to be installed
on the north side to keep people off the boat house. The Building
Official displayed on the overhead projector a drawing of his
suggestion which showed a guardrail along the northeast side of the
boat house, where the grade is such that access is more easily
obtained.
Mueller questioned the Building Official, if in his opinion, the
deck will extend the life of the structure. The Building Official
stated "no."
Applicant, John Gabos, addressed the commission stating that the
primary reason for the request is one of safety. He explained that
the neighbor children have been climbing on it and he does not want
someone to fall off and get hurt. He also believes that a railing
all the way around would look better and be in harmony with the
architecture in the neighborhood. He and his neighbors would
prefer to look at a deck with a railing on top of the boat house
rather than just a partial railing which would look unfinished.
Planning Commission discussion prompted the following comments and
suggestions:
A railing presents a challenge for children to climb over it,
therefore, it may be better to have the railing all the way
around.
The roof is already being used as a deck, the railing and deck
boards would enhance the existing use and make it more safe.
Case No. 93-001
John Gabos
Page 2
Planning Commission Minutes
February 8, 1993
A hip roof may keep the kids off but it could also extend the
life of the structure.
It is reasonable to allow the deck and guardrail.
Nonconformities should not grow. Will neighbors object when
there is a table with an umbrella on the deck blocking their
view of the lake?
Kids climb trees and fall from them, but we don't cut them
down.
Allow deck and railing and make accessible by constructing
stair at northeast side, shallow side.
The existing structure will be around for a long time, the
deck will improve its appearance. If only a partial rail is
allowed it would look unfinished.
Allow guardrail but no deck, this would detract its use.
If only guardrail is allowed and no deck, people may use
anyway and may fall through roof. Wood deck should be allowed
if guardrail is allowed.
In the late 1970's/early 1980's a rainstorm washed out the
hillside and an existing boat house. As a result, the boat
house was allowed to be reconstructed.
Grade could be dropped surrounding the boat house to prevent
access to the roof.
Safety is issue, not appearance.
The purpose of a railing is to prevent people from falling
off, not to keep people out.
If structure was located a few feet over, the variance would
not be required.
Shrubbery could be planted along the northeast side of the
structure to block access. It was noted that shrubbery would
also block the view to the roof to see if kids were on it.

Planning Commission Minutes
February 8, 1993
MOTION made by Hanus, seconded by Clapsaddle to recommend
approval of construction of a wooden deck, wooden
railing, a closeable gate, and a stairway of minimum
size. Motion failed 3 - 5. Those in favor were: Hanus,
Clapsaddle and Mueller. Those opposed were: Johnson,
Weiland, meyer, Michael, and Jensen.
The Commission agreed to continue discussion, and it was noted that
everyone is in favor of some type of a railing. Meyer suggested
the applicant work with the Building Official to address the safety
issue.
MOTION made by Weiland, seconded by Clapsaddle to
recommend approval of a guardrail around the full
parimeter of the roof, as approved by the Building
Official. No deck or gates. Motion failed 3 to 5.
Those in favor were Weiland, Johnson and Meyer. Those
opposed are as follows with their reasons:
Clapsaddle: Motion is unnecessary and restricts the
solution. The applicant should be able to work with the
City Council on a solution.
Mueller: It will not enhance the property or the
neighbors view to allow only a guardrail.
Hanus: Just a guardrail will add to an ugly situation,
it is not the answer. The appearance needs to be
addressed.
Michael: The issue was already voted on, and the City
Council should hear what was voted.
Jensen: A guardrail around the entire parimeter of the
roof goes beyond the minimum variance to alleviate the
hardship, and she is not sure what the hardship is. The
railing around the entire structure would be more than
what is necessary to alleviate the safety issue.
MOTION made by Clapsaddle, seconded by Mueller to forward
this request to the City Council on the basis of the vote
for the first motion. Motion carried unanimously.
This case will be reviewed by the City Council on February 9, 1993.

BACKGROUND.
The applicant's request is to add a stairway and deck on top of an existing
nonconforming boat house. The boat house is nonconforming due to inadequate
setbacks to the side, rear, and lakeshore ordinary high water.
According to the current regulations the nonconforming structure may be continued
at the size and manner that it exists today, however, expansion of this type is not
permitted without City Council approval. The request results in the following variance
requests:

The proposed expansion is inconsistent with the current code. It is the intent of the

-.RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommendation is for disapproval of the request as proposed and that further

keep people off the boat house.
This case will be heard by the Planning Commission on February 8, 1993 and by the

December 17, 1992 requesting to add a stairway, and a deck with a
guardrail on top of the existing boat house on your property. This
proposed work constitutes expansion of a nonconforming use because
the boat house does not meet the required setbacks to the side and
rear property lines. Therefore, we are unable to issue a permit
without variance approval from the City Council per City Code
Section 23.404 (8), attached.
Please find enclosed a variance application form and instructions.
The due date for applications is December 24th, however we will
allow you until 4:30 on December 28th to submit the application.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call me.

OF ROANOKE ACCESS~ FID %30-117-25 22 0009~
(4687 XSLANDVXEW DRIVE), P&Z CASE NUMBER 92-03X
WHEREAS, the applicant has applied for a variance to
construct a new entryway with a four foot overhang, add a second
story living space above the existing dwelling and add a second
story study over the existing garage; and
WHEREAS, the subject property is located within the R-2,
Single Family Residential Zoning District which according to code
requires 6 foot side yard setbacks for the principal structure and
a 4 foot rear yard setback and a 4 foot side yard setback for
accessory buildings; and
WHEREAS, the existing home has a 3.6 foot side yard
setback on the east side resulting in a 2.4 foot variance from the
6 foot required setback, the proposed entryway addition has a 5.0
foot side yard setback on the west side resulting in a 1.0 foot
variance from the required 6 foot setback, and the accessory
building has a side yard setback of 0 feet on the west side and a
rear yard setback 1.3 feet requiring 4.0 foot and 2.7 foot
variances respectively from the required 4 foot setbacks; and
W~EREA8, the existing accessory building (boathouse) is
in sound structural condition; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the request
and has unanimously recommended approval of the requested
variances. In rendering its opinion, the Planning Commission
adopted the following Finding of Fact:
Approval of the variances for the entryway and second story
additions is in conformance with Section 23.506.1 of the Mound
Code of Ordinances. The entryway improvement falls under the
practical difficulty provisions of the Code since the existing
entrance to the home is on the northwest corner of the
structure and since the property abuts a public access rather
than a neighboring residential lot.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of
the City of Mound, Minnesota, as follows:
1. The City does hereby approve the 2.4 foot and 1.0 foot

Parks Department - 1992 Annual Report
PERSONNEL ROSTER
The Parks Department has only one full-time employee, the Park
Director. The rest of the staff is made up of seasonal employees.
During the busy spring, summer, and early fall, there are as many as
nine full-time seasonal employees, between eight and ten part-time
seasonal recreational program leaders, twenty-one lifeguards, and one
contracted cleaning service.

During 1992 the Parks Department was involved mainly with
maintaining current playground equipment and lands. As you recall in
1987 a Playground Equipment Replacement Program was initiated. A
number of Parks received new play structures and improved grounds. In
the years of 1987 to 1990 there was $23,000 earmarked each year for
improvements to parks, some of those which received attention were
Pembroke, Philbrook, Langdon, Belmont, Chester, Tyrone, and Seton. The
1991 and 1992 budgets did not allow for any new equipment or
improvements, so currently there are parks in need of new equipment,
including Mound Bay, Swenson, and Three Points (Three Points will
receive improvements in 1993). These parks have older equipment which
needs to be updated. Parks such as Doone, Edgewater and Crescent need
to be looked at for determining types of improvements, if any are
I J, JI I
needed.
Along with development, maintenance for the parks must be planned.
Maintenance and upkeep of the parks is a major ingredient for their
success. Regular mowing, leaf removal, litter pick up and periodic
repairs are unavoidable aspects of these Parks and generally take up
the most hours over the year. These improvements and maintenance will
provide a visual commitment that the City of Mound has a dedication
towards community development.
Having moved into the Island Park Garage in 1989 and consolidated
all of the park equipment, parts, vehicles and supplies there. We
began to make improvements to the building. We began by following the
improvements recommended in a 1987 engineering report for remodeling
and repairing the garage. In 1990 a new roof was put on, in 1991 the
electrical was updated, new garage doors were added, and the exterior
of the building was painted. The repairs for 1992 and 1993 were taken
out of the budget due to budget restraints, but are still needed.
These repairs were to average $20,000 per year over a four year span.
They included, besides the work already done, replacing of the concrete
in front of the building, an addition of a secured fence area adjacent
to the garage, painting of interior walls, upgrade of bathroom
facilities, and other improvements.
SUMMKR RECREATION PROGRAM
In the past, the City of Mound has sponsored a summer recreation
program that lasts six weeks, from mid-June through the end of July.
A program supervisor oversees a schedule of events at five parks;
Belmont, Swenson, Philbrook, Highland, and Three Points, where there is
a Park Leader and an assistant to carry out the daily program. The
1991 program expanded its arts and crafts, games, and special events
for a broader age of children, and saw other parks receiving visits
from the recreation staff to provide an opportunity for them to get
involved in the program.
Parks Department - 1992 Annual Report
This program is accomplished by co-sponsoring a program with
Westonka Community Services. The basic concept is a program, still
offered in the neighborhood park, but utilizing the Community Services
special facilities, such as the indoor pool or gym, and co-offering
events or field trips.
This type of approach will offer a great deal of flexibility to a
wide variety of age groups. The programming will represent their
special interests and allow for expansion over the years.

MUNICIPAL CEMETERY
The Mound Cemetery was established in 1884 and operated under an
association until 1944, when the cemetery was turned over to the City
Parks Department - 1992 Annual Report
of Mound. There are three divisions, A and B are the old sections to
the west and the new section C, to the east.
Currently, the grounds are maintained by a seasonal employee. He
supplies his own equipment and is paid for time and machinery. The
Park Crew helps when requested for projects that are larger in nature
than the daily upkeep. The fertilization and weed control is done
though a contract with ProLawns Inc.
A 1990 a survey comparing plot fees at the Mound Cemetery with
other municipal and private cemeteries was updated in 1992. The last
fee change was done in 1989. The current fees are listed below:
Adult, resident
Adult, nonresident
Baby, resident
Baby, nonresident
Ash Burial
$200
400
100
150
*
* No additional charge if plot is purchased as a single
burial, $25 charge if ash burial is placed on top of a casket
burial.
A "resident" for the plot fee is defined as, "An individual to be
interred is a current resident of the City of Mound at the time of
his/her death, or at the time of purchasing his/her grave site."
The operation of the cemetery is at a break even with income from
the sale of plots. The current level of maintenance at the cemetery
needs to be upgraded to aid in providing a more attractive setting.
This could be done through irrigation, and fencing.
In 1992 the City Council has asked City staff to look into the
establishment of a perpetual care fund. This will be ready for the
1994 budget process.
Parks Department - 1992 Annual Re~ort
HAZARDOUS TREE REMOVAL
As of December 31, 1992, the yearly total of hazardous tree
removals from City property were 28 trees removed, 3 stumps chipped,
and a number of limbs trimmed that posed a hazard. From private
property under forced removal, 1 was taken.
Diseased and hazardous trees are removed on a complaint basis.
When a complaint is received an inspection of the tree is done to
determine the need of removal and the ownership. City owned trees are
removed by a contractor as soon as possible, while private trees are
removed in accordance with City Ordinances. Private trees not removed
in the grace period allowed, are forced removed. The cost of a forced
removed tree is billed to the property owner. If this bill is not
paid, it is then attached to their property taxes.
COMMONS DOCKS
The Commons Dock system is made up of approximately 4.5 miles of
lakeshore, providing 445 dock sites. The Dock Inspector works under
the direction of the Park Director. His main duties are the processing
of dock applications, inspections of the dock sites, notification of
the discrepancies to permit holders, and an informational source for
the general public and City. 1992 was the sixth year that the Commons
Dock Program had been assigned its own financial division. This
allowed a concise look at the cost of the commons program and aided in
setting a rate adjustment schedule to bring it to a self supporting
position.
In 1992 the Commons budget showed a fund balance of $57,040. This
balance will allow for future improvements to the docks program where
we have seen cost of dredging and shoreline repairs increase
dramatically over the past years.
Parks Department - 1992 Annual Report
In 1992 we supervised a riprapping project of 300 lineal feet on
Devon Commons. The necessary permits were obtained for this project,
and the contractor completed the work in February of 1992. We also
processed another application for the riprapping of 300 lineal feet
along Devon Commons along with 80 lineal feet on Kenmare Commons, 200
lineal feet on Centerview Beach, 150 lineal feet on Wiota Commons and
chemical/mechanical vegetation removal at Jennings Cove.
Each year in the dock program there seems to arise one problem
that leads to extra Council, Park and Open Space Commission, and staff
time. 1992 has been a year where there has been extensive work done by
all and will provide many answers to what direction this program and
the lands it utilizes will proceed.
CITY BEACHES
The beaches are operated under a contract with Westonka Community
Services. The costs for 1991 and 1992 are as follows:

weed removal, buoys, portable toilets and life saving equipment. These
come out of the park fund.
Parks Depaz~cment - 1992 An~ua! Report
DEPOT AND ISLAND PARK BUll,DINGS
The Depot building had no improvements in 1992, this limitation is
due to financing which has been, in part supplied by government
subsidies that are no longer available. Currently, there is still
work that needs to be done, i.e. repair or replacement of exterior
siding, soffits, fascia, and updated bathrooms to allow handicap
accessibility. A new plant area has been installed along with new
handrails along stairways on the deck.
The facility is being used for meetings of local organizations and
for rental by private individuals for parties. Response from these
users has been positive. Future improvements at the Depot will
reinforce the depot as an asset to our City.
The Island Park building is not being used and has had the water,
heat and electricity turned off. This facility is currently being used
as a storage area for Police Department supplies, and the main hall
will only be opened during elections for voting. Only minimum
maintenance is being performed on this building. There is a need for
updating, but use demand does not, at this time, justify the
expenditure.
CITY HALL MAINTENANCE/JANITORIAL
The Parks Department is responsible for some areas concerning city
hall maintenance and janitorial services.
The grounds, lawn care and snow removal are seasonal, while
responsibilities for heating/air conditioning are year round. All
projects within the capabilities of the park staff are performed. This
has been in the areas of repairs to plumbing, heating and related
equipment.
Parks Department - 1992 Annual Report
Major repairs or cleaning services are contracted out through the
direction of the Parks Department. Currently, we have a contract
service for janitorial, carpet cleaning and the heating and air
conditioning systems. Other projects have been assigned to the Parks
Department as instructed by the City Manager.
PARK & OPEN SPACE COMMISSION
The Park Commission is made up of nine members and a council
Representative. Their activities are:
o Commons Dock Programs and related concerns.
o Parks/wetlands and related concerns.
o Cemetery.
o Island Park Hall and Depot buildings.
o Open Space
o Swimming beaches and lifeguards.
o Hazardous tree removal.
o Summer Recreation Program.
o Budget preparation.
Some of the topics reviewed by the Park Commission in 1992 were:
o Commons maintenance permits.
o Distribution of funds allotted for park improvements.
o Inventory of City owned property for potential Nature
Conservation Areas.
o Commons dock fees.
o Overseeing summer recreation/lifeguard programs.
o Dock location map update.
o Review of LMCD fees accessed to docks program.
The Park Commission, along with the City Council and Planning
Commission, toured the city's docking areas, parks and related
properties that have come up in discussion during regular meetings.
This tour will be conducted each year and will greatly aid in helping
to make decisions affecting these areas.
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT
Preventive, daily, and unplanned maintenance of
equipment is the responsibility of the Parks Department.
all related
Please note
Parks Department - 1992 Annual Report
Equipment Inventory on the attached Exhibit A.
The City did not re-hire an in-house mechanic after his
resignation in 1991, therefore, we are currently taking major work to
an outside contractor. We still receive help from other public works
employees who are skilled in areas such as welding and electrical work.
An Equipment Replacement Schedule is maintained to allow for
updating of major capital outlays, see Exhibit B. This schedule when
observed, will allow the Parks Department to operate efficiently and
provide safety for the general public and the park crew. Recent
cut-backs that have filtered down to the City level have made 1992 see
a need for items cut from this area. I have readjusted replacement
dates as shown on the attached Exhibit A.
Each year I look back at this time to list and comment on projects that
have stood out. This year I am going to thank everyone who at times
has done work to help me complete these tasks. The City Council and
Park and Open Space Commission have reviewed as much as 1,099 pages of
agenda packet material; the City Manager for direction; the Building
Official, Jon Sutherland, for reviewing the current and future
construction on public lands; Peggy James, Secretary, for the thorough
organization of materials needed; Tom McCaffrey, Dock Inspector, for a
calm approach to problems; the maintenance crew of John Taffe, Kent
Kirsh, Phil Haugen, Hal Proft and Mike Petroski for their dependability
to perform assigned work; the Street, Sewer and Water crew who lends a
hand when their help is needed; and, Joel Krumm, Liquor Store Manager,
who's ability to turn a profit paid for a new 72 inch mower and trailer
for the Parks Department. In all, every department has at times helped
support the Parks Department, and at times it seems it is expected, it
is very appreciated.

Greg Skinner
Water & Sewer- Supt.
19~2 Annual Report
Public Utilities for the City of Mound consists of 2
departments. One being Water Distribution and the other being
Sanitary System. First I would like to start with the Water
Distribution system. The Water Department has 2 1/2 full time
employees, which consists of a supervisor and 2 maintenance
employees. We sell water to approximately 3250 customers
within the City from 4 city owned wells, one booster stat. ion,
a combined storage of 575,000 gallons in 3 water towers and
approximately 45 miles of watermain. We are also
interconnected with the City of Spring Park roi' emergencies
if needed.
EMPLOYEES
I have been with the City of Mound since 1977. I startecl out
in the Water Department as a maintenance worker. In 1982 I
became the Utilities Superintendent. I am responsible for
maintaining the annual budget of approximately $353,000 for
1992, purchases, scheduling work loads, complaints, employee
evaluations, water inspections for new const_ruction, sight
plan review for new construction and development, uatermain
and shut_ off location, monthly report to State agencies and
safety. In addition to my administration responsibilities. I
also have the same duties as the maintenance per-sonnel do in
the Water & Sewer Department.
Bob Shanley works full time in maintenance. Bob has been
with the City since 1967. Bob's job consists of daily well
inspections, meter and outside reader installation, repairs
and testing. In addition, he handles service calls that
consists of turn-ohs, turn-offs, final readings, valve
maintenance and repair, watermain breaks and occasional snow
plowing.
Pat Cheney works full time in maintenance and meter reading.
Pat has been responsible for our meter reading, service
locations and working in the meter shop. He also does our
Gopher One locations. Pat has also helped with in snow
plowing. We have trained him in the operation o'f ouT- front-
end loader, plow trucks and bobcat.
3oyce Nelson is the Public Works Secretary and has been
employed by the City since 1977. Joyce's job is to keep the
office running smoothly and does an excellent job. She
handles phone calls, complaints, all record keeping (work
orders, invoices, reports, inventory report, etc.) typing,
she also runs the City's Recycling Program. In December 3oyce
was transferred to City Hall to take over the Utility Billing
for lois Sandquist who had retired in November.
PUBLIC UTILITI[$
The Public Utilities are operated as a business. Revenues are
generated from the sale of water, meter sales and service
charges. Salaries and benefits are paid out of the revenue we
receive. The Utility Departments work closely with the
Building Inspector and the City Engineer on new construction,
new development, utility upgrades or new installation. This
includes site and plan review and inspections along with
discussions with developers.
There are 2 budgets prepared for Public tltilities, 1 for
Water and 1 for Sewer. The Water Department had a budget of
approximately $353,000 for 1992. The Sewer Department had a
budget of approximately $971,000 for 1992. The percent of
increase from year to year is small in both budgets as far as
day to day operations are concerned. History has shown that
Worker's Compensation, General Liability Insurance and MWCC
have been the big reason for budget increases. Budgets are
prepared by the Utility Superintendent. The budget then goes
to the City Manager for review and approval. Each budget is
then presented to the City Council by the Superintendent, so
the Council may ask any questions in regard to certain
expenditures.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency requires that the City
of Mound have at least 1 full time employee with a Class C
certificate in Water Supply System Operations. The City is
required by the PCA to have 1 pe]-son with a Class D
certificate in Wastewater Treatment. Each person in the Water
& Sewer Department has a certificate in either water or sewer
or in both. The certificates have to be renewed every 3
years. Each employee is sent to schools at least, every 3
years, in addition they are sent to various 1 day schools,
conferences and conventions. The purpose of this is to learn
new up to date methods of maintenance, and safety procedures.
WATERMAIN BREAKS
This year we had 15 main breaks. All were routine and with no
major expense for road repair. Ne did experience 5 breaks in
the summer. This is very unusual and something that I hope
will not continue.
WATERTOWER MAINTENANCE
We had some vandalism to the tower in Island Park this
fall. The first time someone cut the main electrical lines
after breaking into the main breaker box. The second time
they smashed the electrical meter. After that I }lad a
contractor fabricate a cage and enclose the meter.
PUMPHOUSE MAINTENANCE
This year was very different from all of the previous
We had no major problems with the wells.
WATER METERS
The cities current water meter system has been in since 1977.
This is a 2 wire system with an outside remote that received
a pulse from the register that is inside. We have found that
this is a very unreliable way of accounting roi- water usage.
Two years ago we purchased 100 Sensus Touchread meters ancl
100 Neptune Pro-Read meters. Tests with this new system were
completed in 1992 and a report was give to the City Manager
with our results.
As for our meter system this year, we are still plugging away
at trying to reduce the number of repairs.
HYDRANT MAINTENANCE
This year we use tile same approaches as last year fo~ our
hydrant flushing program. Instead of flushing during normal
work hours I rearranged the shift times to 9:00 p.m. so two
maintenance workers would work from 9:00 p.m. to 5:30 a.m.
for one week in May and one week in October. This worked very
well, with very few complaints from the employees or tile
customers ·
GENERAL INFORMATION
We pumped 284,000,000 gallons of water in 1992. Water sold
was 269,000,000 gallons. This equals 5.75% roi' unaccountable
water. The Water Department, buclget came in at 101'¢.
The Sewer Department has 2 1/2 full t/me employees.
Damon Hardina has been with the City Sewer Department since
1974. Scott Kivisto has been with the City since J985.
Tlneir duties consist of maintaining 28 lift stations and
approximately 60 miles of sanitary sewer lines throughout the
City. Stations are checked 3 times a week. It takes 6 hours
per day to perform these checks. Ne perform minor
maintenance, sucln as pump removal, seal replacement and
electrical repairs. Any major pump repair is sent out. The
Sewer Department has a truck with a crane so we can pull the
pumps. Ne also clean the sewer lines in the summer. Ne have
I water tanker with a jet cleaner and i sewer fodder to
perform this cleaning. The employees also help on watermain
breaks and with snow plowing.
My responsibilities for the Sewer Department are pretty much
the same as for the Water Department, except the budget was
approximately $971,000 for 1992.
LIFT STATION UPGRADES
Our 1992 lift station upgrades were completed in December of
1992. Bids for our lift station upgrades for 1992 were
awarded to Gridor Construction from Plymouth. Their bid for
5 lift stations was $210,000. As of now all 5 lift stations
are up and running. All that remains to be completed is some
minor restoration.
SEWER LINE MAINTENANCE
We cleaned 30,000 feet of sewer line in 1991. This compares
to 40,000 feet last year.
In 1992 we had 3 sewer force main breaks. The break on Three
Points Blvd. was costly. We Inad to repair 171 'feet: of road.
Total bill, $13,000.
The Sewer Departments budget came in at 103~.

1992 MOUND FIRE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT
Fire and rescue calls were up 5% from 1991. So this year was the
2nd all time high on calls, with 486. Fire 197 and rescue 289.
Up 1% on fires and up 7% on rescues.
In Mound we were up 26% on fires and down 3% on rescues (104 fires
and 165 rescues). Mounds total residential loss was substantial
this year, around $500,000, that's including contents as well. Two
were undetermined or accidental, 3 lightening strikes, 4 improper
installation of wood burning stoves, 2 auto/garage and 2 a short
in the wiring.
For the contracting cities: Minnetonka Beach - up 5% on fires and
down 45% on rescues (13 fires and 6 rescues) only $600 loss.
Minnetrista - down 75% on fires and up 14% on rescues (16 fires and
40 rescues) $125,000 valuation loss. Cracks in fire place and
soldering pipes started the two major fires and 1 commercial.
Orono - down 16% on fires and up 16% on rescues (24 fires and 21
rescues) minimal valuation loss. Shorewood - 3 fires and 1 rescue,
$95,000 valuation loss. Spring Park down 6% on fires and up 43%
on rescues (33 fires and 56 rescues), valuation loss approx $10,000
on a dryer fire, mainly smoke damage. The total for the
contracting cities 89 fires and 124 rescues = 213 calls.
Mutual Aid we received 2 from Maple Plain and 1 from St. Boni (that
we canceled before they got to station). We gave 3 to Maple Plain
and 1 to Excelsior. Two grass fires, 1 residential and 1 stand by.
Training - I can't say enough of our fire dept. They know what
they are doing. They are very well trained and they take pride in
what they are doing, from attacking house fires, auto, grass fires
etc. to saving lives due to heart, asthma diabetic, bleeding,
P.I.'s, water and ice rescue. The new heart start has saved lives,
to our new gumby suits - for ice and water rescues. Along with
"our" training we sent 10 to State Fire School, 2 to Fire
Instructors Conference, 7 to State Fire Conference, 5 taking Haz
Mat course, Mike Palm to arson class 1 & 2, two to State Chiefs and
1 to Int'l Chiefs Conference in Anaheim California. Almost all had
refresher course on First Responders, 3 had their refresher on
E.M.T.'s. One is a paramedic and is going to school for Oxygen
Therapy and I have one that is a Medial Student.
Page 2.
Our maintenance is the same - 3 heavy maint, personnel who work
almost every Saturday. And each fire fighter has a turn once a
month in their groups for maintenance. We had some take the
liberty in painting the outside of station and putting a face lift
to the front of the station. Ilopefully we'll get the back painted
this Spring.
For new equipment, that has changed too. We were talking and
getting bids to refurbish our 1973 Mack (#12), that was put on hold
because of lack of funds. Then for awhile we thought we would be
getting more territory and the need for a better, newer, bigger
tanker would have been a necessity and not as much refurbishing to
#12. Now hopefully we can get a new pumper that would cost just a
bit more instead of refurbishing #12 (hopefully we can trade in the
Mack). I know the constant cut backs the City gets from State and
Federal, wasn't your fault, but we must up grade our equipment to
better serve our communities!
Our building is old and again we are doing the best we can with
people that will give us their time to fix, clean, repair, paint.
It is always the same ones who help and pretty soon they will get
burned out or say, no one else cares, why should I!
My 2 Fire Marshals have full time jobs now, so they aren't always
available when needed for inspections, unless people can wait after
hours and or on Saturdays.
RELIEF BOARD - PRESIDENT DAVID CARLSON
The Board of Directors for the Mound Fire Department Relief
Association will be continuing to monitor our investments for 1993.
We plan to meet with Marquette Bank in mid February to review the
performance of our investments for 1992. In addition, we will be
trying to determine the effects of the recent purchase of Marquette
Bank by First Banks and the impacts of the administration of our
accounts.
The pension benefits were raised to $425.00 per month in 1992 after
an actuarial study was conducted by Bordewick & Company. For 1993,
the City increased their contribution to our pension fund by 7%
after several meetings to discuss this program. Discussion was
initiated concerning the goals of the pension program which is
expected to be continued in 1993.
The Board of Directors has reviewed and updated its by-law which
will be distributed in 1993 after they have been reviewed and
approved by the membership. Interpretations on a couple of issues
are being followed up on prior to finalizing the by-laws.

1992 FIRE MARSHALS REPORT - MIKE PALM
It was another busy year and again not enough time to go through
all the buildings we have in our fire area. I spent more time on
complaints and meetings with the building inspectors, on the new
businesses and problems that they came across. We have a lot of
old buildings in our area that are not safe! A lot of code
violations and without the time to properly inspect these
buildings, we are facing a great danger to our Fire Fighters and
the people that enter these buildings.
We have a lot apartment type housing in our area that needs to be
brought up to code, and also we may lose some citizens if this is
not looked at more carefully. With Jerry Babb and myself both
working 40 hours a week, we can't do the inspections we use to do.
This year we couldn't even do all of the schools for "Fire
Prevention' Week" and this is the first place to start teaching
young kids about fire safety. I was called to Grandview Middle
School four times this year, to talk to kids that were
experimenting with fire and that is scary.
FIRE PREVENTION HAS TO BE TAUGHT TO THE YOUNG AND OLD, HOPEFULLY
THEY CAN LEARN AND LIVE BY IT!

Mound Market Position
(Adopted by the City of Mound in August 1991)
To take full advantage of our geographic location, our existing business
community (retail professional & industrial), our unique natural features and
our distinctly talented people, the Community of Mound will conduct future
economic development, business recruitment and enhancement, visual
betterment, structural improvement, planning, and downtown promotion
according to a recreational/cultural/scenic destination market position and
development theme.
Mound Environmental & Appearance Model
Introduc n
The Mound Environmental & Appearance Model is based on the Mound Market Position and
is intended to carry forth a design vision of downtown Mound. It has been developed by the
Mound Visions project under direction of the Economic Development Commission. Through
much deliberation, debate and public input the Environmental & Appearance Model has taken
form as a guiding document for commercial development and revitalization.
This document is not an ordinance or a even a guideline but rather a communication tool which
allows the City of Mound to explicitly describe a vision of downtown. It, hopefully, promotes
creativity and a unique character that will distinguish and unify downtown Mound.
The Model draws inspiration from many successful communities and shopping districts but
mainly from the history of Mound itself. Mound's early days as a Lake Minnetonka resort
community is a major part of local folklore and is rich in architectural character. It seems only
fitting that this be the basis for future development in Mound: an historic resort hotel
architectural theme.
You will see by reading the model that the intent is not to recreate what was once in Mound.
The intent is to draw from historic character for inspiration in developing a new downtown.
One which accommodates modem retail practice yet has an appealing identity of its own.
While the Environmental and Appearance Model depicts the detail features, the Downtown
Mound Concept Plan is a master plan drawing which illustrates conceptual layout alterations.
Downtown Mound Concept Plan:
The Downt6wn Mound Concept Plan was approved as a beginning point for
redevelopment by the EDC and City Council in Spring 1992. It calls for fairly
dramatic alterations in the way downtown functions and appears.
The concept plan has, as its basis, five goals: 1. Provide marketable commercial space.
2. Take full advantage of views, access and use of downtown lakes.
3. Improve pedestrian and vehicular circulation.
4. Maintain "downtown" character as opposed to "suburban" character.
5. Make doing business in downtown Mound easy and enjoyable.
Under the plan, businesses would need to be relocated and buildings razed. This
may seem like a drastic measure but given the condition of many existing
structures and the highly competitive environment among retail centers, it may
be the only way for Mound to capture a significant portion of its retail market.
The concept plan calls for the following alterations to downtown Mound. See
the graphic on page 4.
Mound Environmental & Appearance Model
· Relocating County Road 15 (Shoreline Drive):
The concept calls for a portion of County Road 15 east of Commerce
Blvd. to be diverted to the north. This accomplishes several things.
1. It allows high volume and higher speed traffic to be directed
through the heart of Mound's convenience and auto oriented
retail area.
2. It forms a direct linkage with County Road 15 west of
Commerce Blvd.
3. It solves a development problem in the Lost Lake area by
allowing new development to be oriented toward Lost Lake,
downtown's greatest recreational and scenic opportunity.
· Relocating and constructing Auditors Road as a "main street":
Auditors Road would become the traditional main street of Mound. The
street would intersect with Commerce Boulevard a short distance south
of its current location, conform to the edge of Lost Lake and connect
with Shoreline Drive approximately where Belmont Ave. is currently
located. Convenient, diagonal parking would line both sides of the
street. Commercial buildings would front on the north side of the street
and a parkway/promenade would be south of the street, adjacent to Lost
Lake. The new Auditors Road has many assets.
1. Convenient, on-street parking will front every business.
Overflow parking will be to the rear.
2. Layout emphasizes an excellent view across Lost Lake.
3. Store entries would have a southern exposure, an important
factor in the psychology of shopping.
4. Street layout allows Shoreline Drive traffic to see business
entries, another important element in drawing consumers.
· Relocating the Post Office:
Many businesses would be relocated under this concept but the Post
Office is one which plays a key role. Elimination of the existing P.O.
building will allow restoration of the Lost Lake channel as well as the
reconstruction of Auditors Road. It is vital that the new Post Office be
located in the Auditors Road/Commerce Blvd. intersection area. The
reason is simple, the P.O. draws a great deal of people each day. Placing
the P.O. in the suggested location will increase traffic counts on Auditors
Road, boosting retail sales. This placement also makes the P.O. easily
accessible from any district of downtown.
· Providing parallel parking on the county roads as redevelopment occurs:
Currently, the county roads are not wide enough to accommodate
parking. As redevelopment occurs, inset parallel parking bays can be
constructed.
Mound Environmental & ,~ppearance Model
page 2
· Restoring the Lost Lake channel to Lake Minnetonka and constructing
marinas:
The recreational and visual use of Lost Lake will help make Mound a
regional draw. Temporary docking facilities would be provided to allow
Lake Minnetonka boaters to browse downtown. A marina could be used
by the hotel and others through contract agreements. Reintroducing the
restored "Minnetonka" streetcar boat to the channel for excursions is a
future possibility if the Bartlett Blvd. bridge at the end of the channel is
reconstructed.
· Constructing a permanent facility for the Mound Farmers Market on the
Lost Lake site:
The farmers market is currently being operated in a downtown parking
lot. If the market were to be expanded and given a permanent location
and facility, it could become a viable draw for downtown Mound. The
facility could also be used for indoor/outdoor recreation, containing
pavilion space and a warming house for Lost Lake ice skating.
· Constructing a hotel on the Lost Lake site:
A hotel in this location would anchor the east side of Lost Lake and
would be the terminus of a promenade connecting with downtown. A
hotel provides an opportunity to recreate a turn-of-the-century Lake
Minnetonka hotel. The site takes great advantage of the views across
Lost Lake as well as the recreation potential of the marina.
· Creating a downtown trail network:
Trails would create a recreational element in downtown. They would
connect natural features such as Lake Langdon and Lost Lake to the
retail district. They would also provide a reason to go downtown in the
evenings. Loop trails around the lakes are ideal but may be challenging
due to the residential development abutting portions of both Lost Lake
and Lake Langdon. Creative solutions can no doubt be discovered.
· Creating a central hub of local streets connecting the downtown districts:
This hub provides a mode of local travel (a back way through town)
apart from the county roads. It also creates a sense of spacial
understanding by allowing visitors to see all parts of downtown from one
location.
· Creating direct access to the west from the existing 110/15 intersection:
Convenient access to the Lake Langdon area is important since parking
is to the rear of the buildings. A 4-way intersection improves safety.
These are the primary features of the concept plan. Aspects will no doubt be
altered slightly as development occurs but it is important to remain committed
to the concept and the above mentioned goals to insure downtown Mound can
realize its full potential.

.Buildings
Buildings are key factors in drawing customers into a shopping district and an
individual shop. For this reason a building model has been developed to allow the City of
Mound to display how Mound's architectural theme could be applied to commercial buildings.
Basic Principles:
Mound can trace its roots back to the resort hotel era of the late 19th and early
20th Centuries. To maintain this historic connection, buildings in downtown
could be designed to reflect the style of Lake Minnetonka resort hotels and in
addition, storefronts could contain traditional features. Combined, these two
elements would produce a pleasing character unique to Mound.

traditional storefront as seen in most historic downtowns.
This model encourages downtown buildings to be scaled, placed and oriented
for the pedestrian and passing auto. As a result all buildings would front very
close to or on the right-of-way. Since pedestrian flow is very important,
adjacent buildings should adjoin: free-standing structures on the streetfront are
discouraged since they disjoint the street. For this same reason front yard
Mound Environmental & Appearance Model page 5
parking is strongly discouraged. Signage should be tastefully done and not
overpowering. Materials should be natural and placed in such a way to give
depth of interest to pedestrians. Trademark buildings are discouraged hut if they
are used it is recommended they display the materials and flavor of this model.
The following artist's rendering displays the fusion of traditional storefront
elements with resort hotel architectural features.
An example of building style described in this model
Notice how resort hotel building features such as compound roof lines and
verandas are integrated with traditional storefront elements. Also note the
setback or "relief" (which will be discussed shortly) of portions of the building
facade.
/ oof..
It is recommended that buildings have architecturally interesting compound
gable and hip roofs with dormers, cupolas, and other architectural features seen
in historic Minnetonka resort hotels. If buildings are constructed individually
but intended (according to the downtown Mound concept plan) to be part of a
longer street frontage, roof lines could be constructed in such a way to allow
physical connection to existing and future adjacent buildings. This would
provide a continuous and unified roof line along the street. In keeping with the
style, roofs should have 12-16 inch eaves. Mansard and flat roofs are discouraged.
page6~Y
Mound Environmental & Appearance Model
Roofing materials should exactly match those of connecting buildings in both
color and material. If a block of downtown is being redeveloped, the first phase
of the development would set the tone of roofing materials on all phases to
follow. For this reason a high quality fu'st phase development is very important.
Examples of suggested roofing materials include colored metal, simulated slate,
solid color asphalt shingles or cedar shingles.
Colors:
Colors used on all elements of commercial buildings should be selected for their
overall composition, compatibility with adjacent colors, compatibility with
architectural style and in some cases adherence to historic precedent. The resort
hotel theme encourages creative and festive use of colors.
Store fronts:
The storefront of a commercial building is the major shop entry and window
display area. Since storefront proportions are critical to streetscape composition,
this model strongly recommends that storefront widths be in 10 to 12 foot or 20
to 24 foot increments along the sidewalk. This distance develops a systematic
pattern down the street and creates well proportioned display windows and
entrances. If a business requires a large amount of street frontage, display
windows to the specifications outlined in this model should fill the facade. No
extended portion of a building frontage should be without windows since it
disrupts pedestrian flow and can negatively affect businesses down the street.
The architectural style of this model encourages a wide range of architectural
relief along the building frontage. Large scale relief could be accomplished by
setting some portions of the building back from the sidewalk 2-12 feet, creating
small plazas, verandas and decorative landscaping areas. Detailed relief captures
the interest of a pedestrian and can be accomplished through depth of detail and
patina in the construction material itself.
The features outlined on pages 7 through 9 constitute the traditional commercial
storefront (see drawing on page 5). Due to structural building advances, the
simple beauty of the traditional storefront has in many cases been abandoned by
contemporary development. The resort hotel theme encourages creative and
festive use of traditional features, shaping an appealing pedestrian streetscape.
Bulkhead:
The bulkhead is an area approximately 2-4 feet in height below the
display windows. It is usually constructed of wood clapboards, wood
panels or anodized metal/aluminum to simulate wood. Bulkheads are
seldom glass or brick in historic storefronts (glass and brick are often
associated with poorly done bulkhead remodeling). All storefronts are
encouraged to use bulkheads.
Mound Environmental & Appearance Model
page 7
Il,
Display Windows:
Display windows are the traditional means for store keepers to show their
wares and are the most important element of the storefront. They usually
take up the entire space between the structural piers, bulkhead and
transom. They can be a single pane of glass or divided by mullions.
They should be clear glass to provide maximum display of merchandise.
They are often used for press-on or neon signage but covering display
windows with paper signs or other opaque elements is discouraged.
Structural Pier:
Piers arc the structural members which hold up thc storefront. They
usually flank all display windows and entrances. As thc span between
piers increases so should the prominence of the pier. (eg. piers flanking
a display window would be more prominent than ones flanking an
entrance.) The piers envisioned in this model would be wood timbers or
simulated with veneer, anodized metal or aluminum. The base of piers
could be stucco, buff colored or painted brick or stone. Piers should be
no wider than 1.5 feet and stretch from the sidewalk to the lintel. Piers
usually project outward 2 to 4 inches beyond any other portion of the
storefront and should be placed no more than 10 feet apart from one
another at any point along the sidewalk. Piers are especially important
elements on verandas.
Entrance:
The storefront entrance should be well proportioned and located to
compliment the overall facade composition. The entrance should be
covered in some fashion to give shoppers shelter from the weather before
entering or leaving a shop.
Typical doors are mostly glass but
all glass doors are strongly
discouraged. Each entrance
should have an air lock designed
into it to maximize energy
efficiency. The architectural style
of the door gives each shop an
opportunity to create a unique
streetfront identity.

Mound Environmental & Appearance Model
page 8
Transom Windows:
Transom windows were originally intended to provide air circulation to
the shops. Transoms further enhance the unity of a streetfront but at the
same time provide for individuality of the shop. Transom windows are
usually the same width as the display window or doorway below it and
approximately 1 to 2 feet in height. Transoms can contain decorative
and/or divided glass and are often used for signage. The elements of a
transom can also be used on a veranda to unify the structure.
Lintel:
The lintel is the horizontal structural member which supports the second
story and roof above openings such as windows and doorways. In
traditional storefronts the lintel is a very important visual element in the
composition of the facade. With the resort hotel concept the lintel has
less importance to the composition of the storefront and could be hidden
from view with coverings such as clapboards.
Side and Rear Facade:
Side and rear facades of visual importance can be defined as any side of the
building which is not adjacent to a public street but is visible from a public area
such as rear parking areas, car park entrance drives and walks adjacent to public
open space. The architectural style of the building's front facade should be
carried through to the side and rear facades but the detailing can be less
intensive.
Windows are encouraged on side and rear facades but size and proportion of the
openings are less critical. Along with car park configuration, side and rear
facades play an important role in directing shoppers to the streetscape. To this
end, it is strongly encouraged that side and rear facades contain architectural
features which aid the pedestrian in finding their way around town.
Mound Environmental & Appearance Model page 9
$ignage
From the consumer's point of view, signage provides needed information about a
conunercial district whether it be the name of a street or the merchandise carried by a business.
To the business owner, signage is a marketing opportunity which helps persuade a potential
consumer to enter their establishment. On a commercial street, signs are a very important
piece in the overall streetscape composition. On the traditional downtown street, signs in
conjunction with buildings become landmarks by which people who are familiar with the area
find their way and direct others. On the suburban strip, signs themselves take on landmark
proportions, competing for the driver's attention with large sizes, lights and bold colors. The
flavor of signage in downtown Mound is a significant element in realizing full potential of
Mound's market position. This signage model focuses attention on streetscape business
signage but the character portrayed is encouraged for all signs in downtown Mound.
Basic Principles:
Signs in downtown Mound are encouraged to portray the natural and scenic
character of Mound but also have an artistic flair. They should be modest in
size but can sometimes be bold in nature. In all cases signs should be well
proportioned to their surroundings. Along with many other aspects of
downtown, signs provide one more opportunity to set Mound apart from other
shopping districts. This appearance model strongly encourages signs to be an
artistic statement about the business or building it represents. This model may
not be appropriate for all existing buildings and areas of downtown but new
development is encouraged to adopt this signage model.
Style:
There are many styles of signs encouraged by this model.
include signs flush on the building facade,
window, awning signs, flags and banners and
cantilevered signs mounted on a building or
post. This appearance model encourages the
use of various styles of signs for different
occasions and types of businesses. A free-
standing cantilevered sign, for instance, could
be placed in a front plaza where the business
entry is set back from the sidewalk. A small,
temporary flag could be hung from the pier
area of the building advertising a sale.
Signage styles should meet the goals of the
business it is advertising as well as
compliment the surroundings and adjacent
businesses. Sign lighting complimentary to
this model can be accomplished by using
directional lights shielded from direct view.
Some of those styles
neon tubing inside the display

Mound Environmental & Appearance Model
page 10
Discouraged styles of signs include pylon signs,
pedestal signs, back-lit awnings, back-lit box signs,
neon-lit can signs and interchangeable letter boards.
High quality examples of these types of signs are
abundant but this model is striving for a more
subdued signage style for Mound.
Materials:
Materials of natural and more traditional character
are encouraged in downtown Mound. Chalk lettering
and art on slate can be very appealing and easily
altered for specials and sales. Sandblasted and
painted wood signs can be adaptable and attractive
and are encouraged for use in Mound. Wood, steel,
glass, iron, brass and sometimes brick or stone are
suggested materials. Extruded aluminum, plastic,
vinyl and other "high tech" sign materials are highly
discouraged unless they are quality reproductions of
traditional materials.

Placement:
Careful placement of signs reinforces a pattern along the streetscape. To present
downtown Mound as a unified shopping district, sign placement needs to be
complimentary to ones neighbors and should in no way impede comfortable
pedestrian flow. Signs should only be placed on or directly adjacent to the
business they are advertising. It is recommended that signs be located in 4
general areas along the streetscape.

Flags should be used only where they can
be the focal point of a long vista. They
should be used sparingly around downtown
since their impact is lost with too many. It
is strongly recommended that the use of tall
flags be reserved for civic businesses and
organizations such as the Post Office,
library, banks, service organizations and
community centers. Flags may also be an
architectural feature of a block of buildings.
The use of flags and banners raises a
maintenance concern. If flags and banners
are used, it is strongly recommended they
be used on a temporary basis and be
replaced before becoming faded and
tattered.

Colors:
Colors used on signage in downtown Mound should be selected for overall
streetscape composition, compatibility with architectural style and in some cases
adherence to historic precedent. The resort hotel theme encourages creative and
festive use of colors.
Proportion:
Signs should not overpower other elements of the streetscape.
proportioned, pedestrian oriented signage is strongly encouraged.
Well
Signs mounted flush onto a building facade should be no more than
approximately 2 square feet per running foot of building frontage and should be
horizontal in nature.
Cantilevered signs or vertically oriented banners mounted directly onto a
building should extend outward from the building no further than 3 feet and
have an area no greater than 6 square feet.
Free-standing cantilevered signs should be no taller than 6 feet and have an area
of no greater than 8 square feet.
Awning signs should be no more than approximately 2 square feet per running
foot of awning.
The overall area of signs inside display windows should be no more than 25%
of the window area.
It is strongly recommended that all business signage (business name, hours of operation, sales
and specials, etc.) be designed for a business as a complete package. This will allow signage
to work well together and also eliminate the need for generic and often unattractive "sale" or
"specials" signs.
Following is one example of a comprehensive business signage package: 1) business name on
awning valence, 2) art painted directly on the display window which depicts
merchandise/service and business name, 3) stick-on letters on the display window near the
entry door depicting address and open hours and 4) small, temporary "sale" flag attached to
the pier of the building.
This is one of numerous sign packages encouraged by this appearance model. Each business
should analyze its specific situation and design a package which works best for them.

Car Parks
Parking areas in Mound's CBD should be designed as "car parks". Elements such as
tree canopy, pedestrian circulation, lighting, screening as well as convenient parking are key
factors in creating an image consistent with Mound's market position. The following model
is a recommendation for designing and constructing off-street parking areas.
Basic Principles:
Car parks should be designed with 5 key elements in mind.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Proper engineering.
Least environmental impact.
Safe and convenient automobile circulation.
Safe and comfortable pedestrian circulation.
Preserving desirable and screening undesirable views.
Pedestrian Circulation:
When possible, car parks should be constructed so parking isles are parallel to
the main flow of pedestrian traffic. This will allow pedestrians to use drive isles
for walking. When this layout is not possible or where pedestrians have several
different destinations, designated pedestrian walks a minimum of 4' in width
should cut across parking and drive isles. These walks should be located in
conjunction with landscape plantings to provide comfort to the pedestrian. The
walks should be constructed with an alternate paving material.
Pavement Treatments:
Car parks should be constructed of concrete, bittuninous asphalt, brick, stone or
concrete pavers.
This model encourages the use of a red aggregate "chip seal" on bituminous
surfaces. This will reduce the heat generated and create a more pleasant surface
color than black. This practice is not recommended unless diligent maintenance
practices are used since paving needs to be re-chipped after patching.
Car parks should be edged with a raised or flat curb material different from the
main pavement. For instance, if a parking area is constructed of typical
concrete, the edging could be colored concrete, brick, stone or concrete pavers.
All car parks with designated internal pedestrian ways should provide pedestrian
crossings at all parking and drive lanes with pavement different from the
primary pavement.
Paint striping or alternate paving materials should be used to define parking
spaces.
Mound Environmental & Appearance Model page 15
Lighting:
All car parks should provide adequate lighting for a safe and friendly
environment. Light standards and luminares should be decorative and compatible
with the chosen styles of the City. Light standards intended to illuminate parking
areas should not be over 22' tall. Where there are designated pedestrian ways,
pedestrian scale light standards not over 12' tall should be provided.
Car parks should be illuminated to an average of not less than 2 foot candles.
Recommended types of lamps are metal halide and florescent. Low pressure
sodium lamps are strongly discouraged.
Landscaping:
General:
25% of vehicular use area should be covered by tree canopy when trees
are 2/3 mature size.
A 4' minimum dimension to all trees from edge of pavement should be
maintained where vehicles overhang.
A 2' clear strip of sod or mulch should be provided where vehicles will
overhang.
Perimeter landscaping:
Where car parks abut public right-of-way, an 8 foot minimum landscaped
buffer should be provided. The buffer can contain deciduous and/or
evergreen plant material of various heights, rock or organic mulch,
necessary retaining walls not to exceed 2' in height, wood or iron fence
not to exceed 4' in height, earth berm not to exceed 4:1 slope, stone or
brick wall not to exceed 4' in height.
All heights are to be measured from the sidewalk or top of curb elevation
on the adjacent right-of-way.
Deciduous boulevard trees should be placed in all perimeter landscaping
areas at a distance apart of 40' on-center.
Low, uninterrupted screening in the form of shrubs, fences or walls
should be provided along the length of a perimeter landscaping area. A
majority of the screening should be between 2' and 4' in height and only
occasionally go above or below that range.
Mound Environmental & Appearance Model
page 16
Interior Landscaping:
For each 100 square feet of vehicular use area, 5 square feet of interior
landscaping area should be provided.
The minimum size for an interior landscaping area should be 60 square
feet.
All efforts to adhere to the Environmental and Appearance model should be in conformance
with the Mound Zoning Code, building code, shoreland management ordinance and stormwater
management plan.

Mound Environmental & Appearance Model page 17
Preserving and appropriately designing open space in downtown Mound is paramount in
drawing consumers into the shopping district and encouraging them to return.
Basic Principles:
The Open Space section is based on the Downtown Mound Concept Plan
contained in this document. It is obvious that many of the landscape features
discussed, do not yet exist. Adherence to this section of the Environmental &
Appearance model is central to the success of downtown Mound. The Open
Space model is chiefly concerned with:
· Defining critical views and vistas.
· Outlining the character of the streetscape.
· Defining open space corridors and nodes.
Critical Views and Vistas:
Views and vistas can be
defined as preserved openings
or avenues of sight between
two points or areas. They
are important to the workings
of downtown for two masons.
One, they allow incoming
traffic to see pans of
Mound's downtown which
may not be seen otherwise.
Two, views and vistas create
A view looking toward downtown from an overgrown Lost
Lake channel
a sense of spacial understanding and relationship which encourages exploration
and impulse shopping by the consumer.
The critical views and vistas in downtown Mound are described and shown as
follows (see page 19 for map):
1) The view looking west/southwest from Shoreline Drive to the Auditors
Road district. This is the most important view in downtown Mound because it
shows west bound County Road 15 (Shoreline Drive) travelers that them is a
shopping district ahead and they will soon need to turn left to reach it. This view
can be filtered by trees and landscaping so long as a solid screen is not created.
It is also important to note that it is not necessary for Co. Rd. 15 drivers to mad
Auditors Road business signage from this view. Curiosity, attractive structures
and a convenient tm lane will draw consumers onto Auditors Road and they will
discover businesses as they pass down the street.
Mound Environmental & Appearance Model page 18
2) The vistas created at the convergence of the three local streets
connectine the various districts of downtown (Commerce Place, Auditors Road
and Lake Langdon). This hub will likely be the primary route of local travel. It
should be noted that due to the existing railroad tracks, the north leg of this
intersection may not be accomplished for many years. Even so, the vista and
access should be uncompromisingly preserved to permit a future crossing.
3) The view across Lost Lake between Auditors Road and the hotel site.
Picturesque views from these vantage points vivify the charm of downtown
Mound.
4) The view of Lake Langdon from entrance drives off of Commerce
Boulevard. Downtown Mound should take better advantage of this scenic view
which is currently screened by thick vegetation. Lake Langdon could, in the
future, become an excellent passive recreation area and a key feature of
downtown.

that the first project be of
highest quality and portray a design intent in keeping with the resort hotel theme.
Sidewalks:
Front sidewalks should be between 8 feet and 12 feet wide. Side yard
walks should be between 5 feet and 8 feet wide. They should be
constructed of attractive and durable materials appropriate for pedestrian
traffic. Materials should be used in such a way to create a pleasing human
scale. Examples of this include a 1-2 foot band of alternate paving
material separating the street from the primary walking corridor, using
control .joints to reduce the size of concrete units, or creating a pattern
using inset blocks. The purpose of any of these options is to do away with
the typical concrete sidewalk which has no definition or interest.
Materials, colors, patterns, etc. should be chosen for their conformance
with the architectural theme.
Crosswalks:
Crosswalks should be thought of as a continuation of the sidewalk. In the
primary pedestrian areas of downtown, crosswalks should be constructed
of different paving materials or patterns than the street. Paint striped
crosswalks are acceptable in auto oriented areas of downtown.
Crosswalk signals at streetlights should be generously timed to allow safe
and comfortable street crossing by pedestrians. Implementation of the
downtown Mound concept plan hopefully eliminates the need for mid-
block pedestrian crossings.
Mound Environmental & Appearance Model
page 20
Open
Street Furnishings:
Street furnishings along with landscaping are the unifying elements of
downtown and include such things as street lights, benches, trash
receptacles, drinking fountains, bollards and information kiosks. The
intensity of street furnishings depends on the area of downtown in which
they are located. The pedestrian oriented areas will contain the greatest
intensity of furnishings and diminish in the auto oriented areas.
Unified furnishings should be used throughout downtown. For instance
decorative street lights, benches and trash receptacles may be fewer in
number in the auto oriented areas but the style should remain constant.
This is a key factor in presenting downtown Mound as a unified shopping
district and drawing consumers through all parts of downtown.
Even though an area is auto oriented, some pedestrian amenities such as
benches and trash receptacles should be present to make the shopper
comfortable and encourage them to spend time in downtown.
Landscaping:
Landscaping, just as street furnishings, plays an important role in unifying
downtown Mound. Plants should be chosen for their hardiness to the
micro-climate in which they are planted. There should be a few unifying
species of shrubs and especially trees carried throughout downtown. As
is the case with many other aspects of this appearance model, the first
streetscape project will dictate the character of future projects.
Space Corridors and Nodes:
Open space corridors and nodes can be defined as
public greens to be preserved in downtown Mound.
Corridors refer to strips of green space. Nodes
refer to significant blocks of green space. Please
note that this section does not discuss wetlands. It
is assumed that wetlands will be protected through
other means. See map on page 22 depicting open spaces.
Corridors:
1) The promenade area along the north side
of Lost Lake all the way from Lake Langdon to the
hotel site. This is a key corridor since it will
become the primary recreation and visitor activity
center in downtown Mound. It provides a
Open spaces should portray the
character of downtown.
Mound Environmental & Appearance Model page 21
necessary pedestrian link between thc east and west sides of Lost Lake not to
mention a powerful connection between Lost Lake and Lake Langdon. The
corridor also acts as a defining edge of the open water and marina on Lost Lake.
2) The fringe along Lake Langdon where it meets the downtown area.
Lake Langdon provides excellent opportunity for passive recreation in the form
of trails and possibly canoeing although at this time water quality is a concern.
Lake Langdon's scenic qualities are a true asset to downtown and an open space
corridor will present it appropriately.
3) The corridor immediately south of the RR tracks, west of Commerce
Blvd. It is important to maintain this open space to allow recreational access to
Lake Langdon from the north end on downtown. This is also an important open
space corridor because it will allow broad views to any development which occurs
immediately west of the area.
Nodes:
1) The intersection of Auditors Road and Shoreline Drive. This could
become a gateway area for people entering downtown. It would be an excellent
area for special landscape features announcing downtown Mound.
2) Farmers market area. A market pavilion will likely occupy some of this
space but it should be designed to interface with a large outdoor gathering area
for public events, s ~eeches and concerts.
Significant corridors and nodes. Circles refer to nodes. Lines refer to corridors

Business Cluster Plan:
Business clustering is a concept used by suburban shopping malls since the 1950s.
It involves grouping together a certain mix of businesses which share customers
and markets. Clustering is a tool which downtown commercial centers are
beginning to use as a means to compete in a retail environment full of consumer
choices.
Clustering broadens the draw of a commemial center by creating a compact,
critical mass of businesses which provides consumers greater choice and
convenience in a small area. Clustering will also increase purchases by promoting
impulse shopping.
Clustering is a tool Mound can advantageously use to target businesses for
redevelopment projects. The type of cluster planning recommended for downtown
Mound includes two levels of detail.
1) Traffic Cluster: Broad scale clustering is based on the type of traffic
(auto vs pedestrian) which is generated and/or required by a business.
There are 4 types of traffic clusters.
Type 1 clusters contain businesses which promote pedestrian
browsing or put another way, multi-store shopping with a single
stop of the car.
· Type 2 clusters contain businesses which promote an equal mix
of pedestrian browsing and "one stop - one store" shopping.
Type 3 contains businesses which strongly favor "one stop - one
store" shopping. This cluster, as with types 1 and 2 is usually
part of a multiple-stop shopping trip.
· Type 4 businesses are destination stops and rarely pan of
multiple-stop trips.
2) Customer Group Cluster: Customer groups further define traffic clusters
by placing businesses adjacent to one another who not only share similar
traffic patterns but also share customer groups. This level of clustering can
only be determined when a development project is undertaken and specific
businesses have committed to the project. There are a total of 8 customer
groups.
· Tourists
· Out-of-town shoppers
Mound Environmental & Appearance Model page 23
· Day visitors
· Special demographic groups
· Specialized markets
· Local workers
· Local residents
· Other businesses in town
This document will address only the traffic cluster plan. Customer group clustering is not
included because a specific project along with committed businesses needs to be established
before detailed business placement can be successfully accomplished.
The following business list categorizes businesses by optimum traffic cluster. The list includes
businesses which are either targeted for Mound or already existing in Mound. The businesses
are categorized according to nation-wide research done by hyett·Palma, Inc., a leader in
identifying retail trends. The research statistically analyzes shopping patterns of many types of
retail businesses and uses the analysis to define a typical pattern for success.

This list is intended to be a general guide for locating businesses. When a project is undertaken
in Mound, a business would be located based on its specific target market, not necessarily this
guide.

RE: Petition for Stop Sign
Dear Mr. Longnecker:
I am in receipt of your petition dated October 15, 1992 and
submitted to me in person over the holidays.
As I told you I would review your petition with City staff and
would make a recommendation on how to proceed. Based upon the
information that you have submitted, I reviewed it with the police
chief, city attorney and public works department. The city Council
is responsible for establishing the location of stop signs in the
community. However, they usually look to the warrants established
by the State of Minnesota for a stop sign. Enclosed is a section
of the state manual as it pertains to the location of stop signs.
It would appear based on the warrants listed, that your request for
a stop sign would not be granted. Based upon this information and
the fact that because this street is on a hill, it could become
very dangerous since drivers would have to make a sudden stop,
which would become more difficult particularly in winter driving
conditions.
Mr. Bob Longnecker
January 29, 1993
Page 2
Thus, if you chose to process your petition by presenting it
to the City Council, my recommendation would be to not grant the
request. This is strictly based on the warrants that are listed by
the state as well as staff recommendations that I have stated
above. The next City Council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday,
February 9th. The second meeting of February is Tuesday, February
23rd. All meetings begin at 7:30 PM and are held at Mound City
Hall. Should you wish to have the petition placed on the agenda
for either meeting, please contact me as soon as possible.

dation'
I was requested at our December 17, 1992 meeting to look at
the Issue of crosswalk safety For the City of Mound from a
public safety point of view. [ have talked to a number of
people in order to get a historical perspective For the
positioning of the crosswalks and have been told that they
were done as a compromise for the loss of on-street parking
For the business community. I recognize that parking For
customers and support For our local businesses is critical,
but this response will only address the public safety
concerns I have regarding our citizens.
I have received several calls From citizens since the
unfortunate Fatal accident that occurred on December 15,
1992. The comments have ranged From removing crosswalks and
making people cross at semaphores, to adding lighting For
visibility, to stories of others own close calls, and
questions of why do we have so many crosswalks.
The Facts are that we have nine crosswalks at uncontrolled
areas along County Road #15 (Shoreline Dr.) and County Road
#IlO (Commerce Blvd.) tn less than a one square mile area.
The last traffic Fatality was in 1984 and also involved a
pedestrian in a crosswalk. A study of police department
reports and statistics reveals that there have been
seventeen crosswalk related accidents since January, [989.
Twelve of those accidents Involved rear-end accidents when
one driver was already stopped for a pedestrian in the
crosswalk. Five accidents involved pedestrians being
struck; three of these involved semaphore controlled
crosswalks. Fourteen of the accidents took place during the
daylight hours and only three at night. The police
department wrote 155 crosswalk violations during the period
From 1989 through 1992.
I have made a point to travel the crosswalk area on
Shoreline Drive this past week at all different times of the
evening to look at the lighting available. ! do not see
lighting as the Issue! When traffic is heavy there are many
distractions that cause visibility problems; headlights
coming at you, semaphore background for westbound traffic,
tail-lights For turning and stopping vehicles, business
lights, eastbound traffic accelerating after the
intersection. When traffic volume Is low, ! had no problems
with visibility In the area. Our crime prevention officer,
John Ewald, has also come to the same assessment of the
area. The overall commotion in the area causes distractions
for drivers and drivers are basically not attentive enough
to the crosswalk. ! would also remind you that the state
raised the speed limit tn this area to 35mph after the road
improvements.
An issue that also needs to be considered is that many
people perceive crosswalks as an "alley of safety". They
get a false sense of security when using a crosswalk. We
need to do a better Job of educating pedestrians that, just
like driving defensively, they need to walk defensively. A
pedestrian in the right is no match For a moving vehicle and
the law does place responsibility on the pedestrian For
allowing a safe distance for a vehicle to stop before
entering a crosswalk.
My first choice, from a public safety perspective, would be
to remove mid-block crosswalks in the City of Mound For the
safety of our drivers and pedestrians. Place crosswalks
only where there are clear sight lines for drivers and
pedestrians. In the case of the crosswalk in Front of House
of Moy; remove it. I would also remove the crosswalk tn
Front of the post office and make one crossing at Belmont
Lane. Belmont Lane is an intersection and ! believe there
may be a greater possibility of adding some special crossing
controls to assist our pedestrians.
IF the council does not Find that palatable and feels a
mid-block crosswalk Is a necessity, then ! would look at
having one crosswalk from the parking lot to the bus shelter
as a compromise. This may at least give a better sight line
For drivers and afford less distractions than are found
farther west.
There were a couple of other areas of the City For which !
was asked to assess the crosswalk situation. One area is
Commerce Blvd. north of Lynwood Blvd. ! do not believe that
there is a need For all three crosswalks; Balsam & Commerce
Blvd., Church & Commerce Blvd., and in front of the library.
! recommend removing the mid-block crosswalk in Front of the
library. The other mid-block crosswalk is on the south end
of Commerce Blvd., by Penny-wise, and deserves consideration
for removal. This crosswalk gets most of its traffic around
activities at Our Lady of the Lake Church and the church
annex when parking is the heaviest creating a situation of
limited visibility.
I hope that I have adequately addressed the issues that were
requested of me. I realize that my recommendations may be
controversial in the business community, but I hope that
everyone realizes that public safety has to be my priority.
I know that the Final policy decisions rest with the council
and that It will not be an easy process.

SUBJECT: Crosswalks
DATE:
December 28, 1992
Over the last few days I have surveyed the lighting in the area
of Shoreline Boulevard between County Road #ilO and Belmont
Lane. ! have walked and driven the area several times and have
found the lighting to be excellent with the exception of two
shadow points, one crossing Shoreline Boulevard directly in
front of the main door of the Mound Post Office and the second
point crossing Shoreline Boulevard between the MTC bus depot and
the Post Office. The rest of the area is evenly lit.
Looking at various locations on Shoreline Boulevard between
County Road #ii0 and Belmont Lane for a location of a single
crosswalk, ! believe the only safe location would be at the
intersection of Shoreline Boulevard and Belmont Lane. This would
mean that the crosswalks located at the Mound Post Office and
the House of Moy {5555 Shoreline Boulevard) would be removed.
If the crosswalk was to be placed at Shoreline Boulevard and
Belmont Lane it would have to be placed several feet west of
Belmont Lane so as not to interfere with the driveway entering
and exiting the parking lot located in the northwest corner.
Removing the crosswalks at the Mound Post Office and the House
of Moy might possibly create a greater problem with jaywalking.
As you know, because of current county rules and regulations
governing flashing lights, they cannot be used at the existing
crosswalks. Placing additional markings on Shoreline Boulevard
advising motorists of the crosswalks ahead might help along
with the existing signs. ,
In conclusion, ! don't believe that the existing crosswalks can
be made totally safe.

Guidelines for the Installation of. Crosswalk Markings. Steven A. Smith and Richard
L. Knoblauch.' Transportation Research Record No, 1141, Transportation Research
Board, Washington, D.C., 1987, pp. 15-25.
The authors undertook this analysis as part of a larger study to develop more uniform
guidelines, and to prevent the misapplication or overuse of crosswalk markings. They
developed the final set of proposed guidelines after a process of surveying current
practice, examining past research, and review by a panel of 30 practitioners.
The authors proposed the following six principles for consideration in establishing
guidelines:
1. Crosswalks should not be marked where it is unusually dangerous for
pedestrians.
2. Locate markings at places expected to receive sufficient benefit, those with
sufficient vehicular and/or pedestrian volume.
3. Reflect the type of pedestrians involved (the very old or very young)*.
4. Supplement markings in higherFrtsk areas (higher vehicular volumes and
speeds) with advance-warning s~gns.
5. ~ark crosswalks selectively, minimize proliferation.
6. Allow for consideration of variables such as nearby activities, sight
distance, speed, street geometry, pedestrian and.vehicular volumes ......
The final guidelines, developed from the above principles, are as follows:

Mr. Knoblauch is with the Center for Applied Research;

Crosswalk markings should be Installed at:
All signalized Intersections with pedestrian signal heads.
All locations where a school crossing guard is normally stationed.
All Intersections and midblock locations satisfying mtnimum vehicular and
pedestrian volume crtterJa (expressed as a nomograph vtthtn the article) and
the following basic criteria:
e
- Speed llmtt ~ 45 mph
- Adequate stopping stght distance
- For mtdblock crosswalks, block length Z600.ft.
- Adequate crosswalk Illumination
- Htnlmal conflicting attention demands
All other locations at which there is a need to clarify the preferred
crossing location because the proper location for crossing would otherwise
be confusing.
The authors emphasize that these are guidelines only, that engineering Judgement has
a major role in every decision. They further emphasize that the application of
crosswalk markings does no~ fully address the pedestrian safety problem. The
discussion by Bruce F. Herms' is of particular value, providing added insight to the
analysis of pedestrian crosswalk problems. This article should serve as a useful
source for anyone reviewing or developing standards for pedestrian control and
safety.

May 11, 1993
Date
Minnesota Law requires that I, as County Assessor, set the date for
your Local Board of Review meeting. After reviewing previous
meeting days and your suggestions of last year, the above date was
selected. I sincerely hope that it is agreeable with your council.
As there'must be a quorum, I would suggest that an informal review
of your members with a request that they mark their calendars would
be appropriate.
Please confirm the date set out or call Tom May at 348-3046 with
your alternative date by January 15, 1993, so that our printing
order can be completed on time. We suggest starting times of 6:30,
7:00, or 7:30 p.m., but will discuss it with you if you wish a
different time.
Your early completion and return of the attached tear off strip
will be appreciated and we will send your official notice for
posting as required by law.
Please return to JoDee Nelson, A-2103 Government Center,

JANUARY MONTHLY REPORT, 1993
We were at it again. Sales for the month were up 17% over
January 1992. That represents $14,393 more in sales. We also had
1027 more customers over January 1992. Total gross sales for
the month almost topped the $100,000 barrier. Sales were $99,530.
It was only just a few years ago that we went beyond $100,000 in
sales for any given month and that was a July, which is our busiest
time.
Super Bowl weekend was good, not excellent, but satisfactory.
WE did better.than last year but only slightly. The reason being,
I feel, is that last year Minneapolis hosted the big game. There
was probably more interest in the game locally, thus more sales.
I have completed the "Inventory Extending" and have turned the
material over for our new finance director to scrutinize. As far
as the profit picture for 1992 goes, all preliminary indications
point to better numbers than previously expected. I'm going to
keep you in suspense though on this matter and refrain from telling
you what the figures were for two reasons. One, they are
preliminary figures and may have to be fine tuned by Gino. Second,
if I tell you, I won't have much else to write about for my annual
report.

SUBJECT: JANUARY MONTHLY REPORT
There were two regular Council Meetings in January. The first was
an organizational meeting, i.e. appointment of acting Mayor, acting
City Manager, official newspaper, designation of official
depositories, etc. These two meetings were quite lengthy and
required a lot of time to prepare minutes. There was agenda
preparation, minutes, 19 resolutions and clean-up items from the
two meetings.
I inputted all items into the Clerk's Index program from January,
1993.
I calculated the Fire & Rescue hours for 1992 and incorporated them
into the first part of the formula for the 1994 Fire Contract.
These figures will be sent to the contracting cities.
I chaired the IIMC Region VI Meeting in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. This
Regional VI meeting was the second that had have chaired with the
other IIMC Director from Wisconsin. It was a good meeting and
went very smoothly.
License renewals for the licenses expiring the last day of February
were prepared and sent out.
There were the usual calls from citizens regarding various
subjects.

The capital outlay items for 1993 were ordered or purchased. This
included two weed whips, a 21" self propelled mower and the one ton dump
truck for maintenance. For the parks, the new playground structure,
benches and picnic tables were ordered. All these items needed to be
purchased right away due to the need for them to be here when Spring
arrives.
The playground structure is scheduled for the first part of May for
installation, the Minnesota Tree Trust organization will again be
helping to do this.
Docks
The 1993 dock renewals are coming in slow, as they always do. The vast
majority are generally received the last week of February. This is due
to the late fee that begins March 1.
As you are aware, a great deal of staff time was spent preparing for the
court case with Dean Hanus. As this is only the first of four cases,
staff will spend a lot of time in 1993 preparing for trials.
The riprapping has been scheduled for the end of February. All abutting
home owners have been notified. Now we need another cold spell to
secure the ice along the shoreline for the trucks to transport the
rocks.
The removal of the cattails from the Jennings Cove dock area has
received permits from the DNR and Watershed. We should see this work
begin anytime.
Ice Rinks
The three skating rinks at Three Points, Highland, and Philbrook parks
are being flooded as the weather permits. The last warm spell at the
end of January did not help.
Cemetery
There was only one location for a head stone and a grave site location
for a burial in January.

receives at the Transfer Station. 864.68 tons were picked up curbside,
195.94 from the Spring and Fall Recycling Days(-31.77 in tires that cannot
be counted) the remaining is from apartment complexes. This comes to 28%
of our wasted generated. The following is a break down of past years.

With the issuance of the W-2 and the 1099 forms, numerous reports
were submitted to Federal and State departments. Other reports were
sumbitted to the independent auditor, the insurance agent, and Springsted
for refinancing.

January Activity Report
Street Department
In January we were out snowplowing on the 12th and the 13th.
On 20th we were hit with a nasty ice storm. We went sanding
at 3:30 pm and finished at 8:30 pm. Most of the streets in
Island Park had to be sanded backwards. There were 2 other
days that required sanding. We spent 4 days removing snow of
the sidewalks and cul-de-sac's. The trackless worked on
removing snow against the walls and widening roads in certain
areas. The trackless had the clutch replaced on 1-18-92. We
spent 4 days removing Christmas ornaments form the street
lights. We have had some problems with the wing on the new
dump truck. I had Mid-America Power Drives (they supplied the
valves for the hydraulic system) come out to find the
problem. What we found was that the wrong valves were
installed. Mid-America installed the correct valves and it
now works find. We also repaired or replaced street signs.
Water Department
The new year did not start very good for us. On New Years Eve
night we had a main break and a gatevalve break. We started
at around 11:30 pm and finished at 10:00 am New Year's day.
There were 3 more main breaks for the month. For January we
pumped 18,983,000 gallons of water. Meter reading and repairs
were completed on time. The Water Department also helped with
snowplowing and snow removal.
Sewer Department
There was not alot of time spent on Sewer Department work.
They help with water main breaks, snowplowing and snow
removal. Scott attended a Wastewater Operator's school for 3
days in Bloomington. They did manage to put 3 days of
maintenance on lift 'stations and pumphouses.

CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY
This has been the biggest January since prior to 1988 (records
prior to that date are not readily available). Houses are now
being constructed on the last two lots in the Lost Lake Subdivision
and its really turning out to be a nice neighborhood. All the
construction this month was limited to residential, one demolition
permit was issued for Headliners on the commercial side. For a
complete breakdown of January's building activity, please note our
new form that Peggy James has created on her computer.
pLANNING AND ZONIN~
The Planning Commission and City Council continued review of the
proposed Zoning Code/Shoreland Management Ordinance. This
consideration will be continued at the February 23, 1993 City
Council meeting. Truth in Housing surfaced again, I hope we can
keep it afloat. The Planning Commission will begin to review the
subcommittee,s work on February 8th.
Headliner,s Conditional Use permit was approved and we look forward
to another successful business in Mound, and the Teal Pointe
subdivision has been continued, as you are all aware.
The Rental Task Force is continuing its review and comment period
at a slow and methodical pace on the proposed Rental Ordinance.
You are all welcome to attend the next meeting on February 8th at
5:30 p.m.

FROM: TOM REESE, LMCD REPRESENTATIVE
SUBJECT: JANUARY REPORT - LMCD
1.0 ]~urasion Watermiifoil Task Force.
The DNR plan for test use of Sonar for the control of EWM is to
initially conduct test plots within limited enclosures in lakes where there
exists an inventory of plants. This could include St Alban's Bay unless
some other variable precludes the bay's use as one of the test sites. Some
whole lake applications in small basins, may take place in advance of the
1997 date when all the results of the enclosure tests have been evaluated.
This plan has the full support of the technical committee of the EWM Task
Force. Some of the lake organization representatives were not so positive,
feeling that the delay is too long.
2.0 Lake Manaeement Plan
2.1 Lake Access. The issue of equitable distribution of access sites
to all cites remains a troubling factor in this. The LMCD conf~rmed the
continued appointment of Jim Grathwol as chair of the Access Task Force.
Some progress has been made in the definition of a reliable space and in the
inventorying of existing spaces. Now the effort is to get signed agreements
with several cities as to the continued existance of these spaces.
2.2 A joint agreement on dredging policy has been arrived at with
the DNR, MCWD, and the LMCD.
3.0 Other General
3.1 An item having considerable potential impact on future lake
developments is the Carlson property in Minnetrista. They are seeking to
maintenance dredge an existing 2200 foot access channel. This will be a
very high quality development that Minnetrista needs, to in some way make
up for the development space lost to the Regional Park.
3.2 With the retirement of long time employee Joan Mansk, the
office is undergoing an extensive revamping in procedures and equipment,
with an eye to proceding to more computerization of the large administrative
functions carried out by the LMCD. This will also address the cost
apportionment issues brought to the surface by the marina owners last fall.
4.0 Mound Soecific Items
4.1 Roma Stock-, 3032 Highview Ln, contacted me in regard to her
wishing to obtain a variance to put a dock on her property. She has a 20 ft
finger to the lakeshore. In the past the neighbor has allowed the owner of
the property to put a dock there. Now the Stocks are selling the property
and the neighbor no longer wants a dock on the finger. There are no
grandfathering provisions that would allow such a structure. (10 ft side
setbacks are required). Variance reasons would be almost totally f'mancial.
I explained the situation to her; that they can still have a water craft there,
like a PWC or a canoe or small fishing boat that can be pulled up on shore.

Members Present: Bert Foster, Chair. Deephaven, David Cochran,
Greenwood: James Grathwol, Excelsior: Thomas Reese, Mound. Also
present: Sgt. Wm. Chandler, Sheriff's Water Patrol: Denis Bai-
ley, Hennepin County Lakes Improvements; Rachel Thibault, Admin-
istrative Technician; Eugene Strommen, Executive Director.
1. Water Patrol Report
Sgt. Chandler submitted the significant activity report for
Lake Minnetonka covering the period from 12/2/92 to date.
Accidents: He reported 8 snowmobile accidents, five of them
involving snowmobiles which went through the ice, resulting in 2
personal injuries. There was one motor vehicle accident.
A total of 5 deputies have gone through the ice during
rescue attempts so far this season.
Criminal: Chandler listed 15 criminal charges.' Most of
them involved stolen property and fish house thefts. The fish
house thefts are less than last year at this time. One stolen
snowmobile was recovered. Hennepin County deputies are following
the cases. Chandler noted the fish house thefts are difficult to
solve.
A total of 4 juvenile snowmobile safety classes, with prac-
ticals, have been held for approximately 140 juveniles. The
classes are taught by Water Patrol instructors.
DWI's: Four DWI's have been issued. Two involved snowmo-
biles and two were motorized vehicles.
Chandler reported on a new inflatable ramp which is being
tested to aid in through-the-ice rescues. The Water Patrol has
been training members of the Mound Fire Department on ice res-
cues. In turn the firemen can aid in training others.
Grathwol asked about the statistical information Chandler is
gathering. Chandler said he can split out the type of accidents.
They classify them as fatal, personal injury or property damage.
Their reports indicate weather conditions.
Chandler said most of the snowmobiles going through the ice
are the result of the operators trying to skip over open water.
He would like to see a land trail along the channels. He men-
tioned the Seton, St. Alban's Bay, Narrows and Black Lake chan-
nels as specific problem areas. Foster suggested this issue is
something the committee could look at from a safety and recrea-
tional point.
2. Snowmobile Registration Numbers, per DNR Meeting of 1/14/93
The executive director submitted a report on the meeting of
1/14/93 with DNR Trails and Waterways and MN USA (snowmobile
association) regarding the proposed change in snowmobile regis-
tration numbers.
LAKE USE AND RECREATION COMMITTEE January 25, 1993
Chandler said the Water Patrol feels strongly that it is a
mistake to change the snowmobile registration law without con-
suiting law enforcement representatives. Current requirements
call' for letters 3" high. The latest proposal calls for a 2-1/2"
x decal with letters 1-1/2" in height. There is no informa-
tion as to whether the decal will be reflectorized or what the
color will be. He would like to see a white background with
contrasting numbers.
The executive director's report indicated that a DNR Conser-
vation officer will assist Trails & Waterways in reaching the
full law enforcement group. Samples will be reviewed in February
after they have been evaluated by law enforcement groups.
3. 1993 Save the Lake Recognition Banquet
The committee received the names of four candidates for the
1993 LMCD Special Deputy Award.
Following a review of each candidate's length of service,
achievement in water safety, devotion to duty, enforcement of
rules and regulations, service to Lake Minnetonka and strength of
character, the committee unanimously recommended the Board extend
the award to Paul S. Botnen.
Chandler was excused.
4. DNR Proposal to Enhance an Existing Shore Fishing Area
Mike McDonough, MN DNR Trails and Waterways Division report-
ed on the proposed use of LCMR grant funds of $10,000 to upgrade
shore fishing areas on the Lake. He distributed a report with
proposed improvements for each of three sites, Coffee Channel,
Hendrickson Bridge Channel and Narrows Channel. The executive
director also submitted a report, dated 1/14/93, explaining the
proposal with an accompanying map showing the shore fishing
areas.
McDonough stated that the sites need handicapped accessibil-
ity. Some sites have erosion problems. Correcting the erosion
run-off problem will improve the water quality. The initial
funding will not allow improving all three sites in one year.
Denis Bailey indicated Hennepin County might be able to put some
funding in its budget.
Bailey said Coffee Channel, Lord Fletcher's side, is the
most unimproved site. There is a need to better define the park-
ing area and to add some vegetation. Trash receptacles would be
the responsibility of the community, Spring Park.
McDonough asked for an indication of interest on the part of
the LMCD and a recommendation as to which site should be first to
be improved. Foster responded that the District is interested.
as shore fishing is part of the Management Plan Objectives.
The committee indicated its interest in proceeding with the
Coffee Channel site. As far as construction is concerned the
LMCD would like to see as little hard cover as possible. McDo-
nough said there may be a need for a retaining wall. Regarding
using the area for a picnic site, Orathwol said the basic use
LAKE USE AND RECREATION COMMITTEE January 25, 1993
should be for fishing although some users will probably bring
lunches. There could be benches with landscaping. It was agreed
the City of Spring Park would have to be included in any discus-
sions of the Coffee Channel site improvement. McDonough said the
DNR would also be interested in discussing floating fishing piers
on Lake Minnetonka.
MOTION: Grathwol moved, Cochran seconded, to recommend the Board
direct the LMCD staff to work with the DNR and respective cities
on improving existing shore fishing areas with the following site
priorities:
Coffee Channel, Lord Fletcher's Side, Spring Park
Narrows Channel, Tonka Bay Side, Tonka Bay
Hendrickson Bridge Channel, North Arm, Orono
VOTE: Motion carried unanimously.
5. Lights at the Narrows Channel
Bailey reported the lights at the Narrows Channel will be
installed before the start of the boating season. They will use
a 70W green light as planned.
6. Organized Snowmobile Use on Lake Minnetonka Bill Kullberg,
Trail Coordinator for the Southwest Trail Association, an organi-
zation of snowmobilers, spoke to the committee regarding the
organization's concern about use of a trail in the Hennepin
Regional Park, Minnetrista. He said they were promised trails
through the park and are proposing a plan which would give access
from Lake Minnetonka to the existing trails at S.Hwy. 7. They
are looking for support of their plan. They do not look for an
elaborate trail system in the Park. It could be a double use
trail, snowmobiles in the winter and hiking/biking in the summer.
This would make it eligible for some state aid according to
Kullberg.
Foster said the LMCD could consider supporting the principal
without getting involved in the detail. The Management Plan
supports a trail system. (The Management Plan Lakeshore Recrea-
tion policy #4 - "Managing entities should encourage coordinated
development,
management, polic;.~and regional or state funding of
all lands of regional attraction on the lake," recognizes the use
of trail systems within regional facilities. I
The executive director suggested this might be an opportuni-
ty for a positive partnership between the snowmobilers and the
LMCD in encouraging trail use on public land rather than en-
croaching on private property. Kullberg said the Association
plans to prepare a new map showing its trails. It would like to
distribute the maps with the LMCD rules and regulations. The
executive director said this would assist in distributing the
LMCD winter rules brochure.
Reese asked if there is a negative side to the proposed
trail in the Park. Foster responded that there probably would be
objections from environmentalists. Grathwol said trails are
important to preserving the environment as they confine the
snowmobiles to a certain area. Cochran objected to the use of
Big Island for snowmobiling as it is harmful to the wet land
areas.
LAKE USE AND RECREATION COMMITTEE January 25, 1993
There was discussion of the problem of snowmobilers jumping
open water at the channels. Kullberg suggested a snow fence
across the channels until the water freezes. The executive
director said the problem is keeping the fence up. There is also
a liability factor in that when the fence is removed it suggests
that the channel ice is safe. He suggested there might be sign-
age to prevent crossing. Many water fowl have been killed by
snowmobiles skipping over open water. Foster suggested Kull-
berg's organization work with the Water Patrol and the LMCD to
reduce the problem of snowmobiles going through the ice, and to
communicate the LMCD winter rules to the membership.
MOTION: Cochran moved, Grathwol seconded, to recommend support-
ing in principal the Southwest Trail Association request for a
snowmobile trail in the Hennepin County Regional Park through a
letter from the Chair to Hennepin Parks because the Management
Plan recognizes trail systems as appropriate to regional facili-
ties.
VOTE: Motion carried unanimously.
7. Second Reading of Ordinance Establishing a Quiet waters Area
in Part of Halsted's Bay, Amending Code Sect. 3.02
MOTION: Grathwol moved, Cochran seconded, to recommend approval
of the second reading of An Ordinance Establishing a Quiet Water
Area in Part of Halsted's Bay, Amending Code Sect. 3.02.
VOTE: Motion carried unanimously.
8. Special Events
The committee considered a Code amendment to allow the LMCD
staff to approve new Special Event Licenses using the conditions
in Section 3.09, Subd. 3. The committee received a list of the
Special Event Licenses issued in 1992.
Prior to being excused Chandler said the Water Patrol would
have no objection as long as the LMCD staff kept in touch with
them. He reported there were no problems with tile Excelsior
Winterfest at the Excelsior Park Tavern.
Foster said the purpose is to make these licenses an admin-
istrative function.
Reese noted that there were five new fishing tournaments
licensed in 1992. He wondered if there should be a limit to the
number of fishing tournaments. Grathwol agreed that this is
worthy of discussion and there should be a summary report of the
number of boats participating. Foster suggested a comprehensive
policy on issuance of fishing tournament licenses. The executive
director posed that a reasonable level of tournaments be estab-
lished, addressing the number of boats in a tournament and the
spacing of them by date. Cochran mentioned the Management Plan
directive to address density. This is a matter to consider when
discussing density. Thibault said that currently there are
stipulations that fishing tournament operators have to meet.
LAKE USE AND RECREATION COMMITTEE January 25, 1993
The executive director said, if the Code were amended to
allow staff to approve all special events, the staff would bring
the information to the committee. Staff would also confer with
Board members and city administrators appropriate to the type of
event.
MOTION: Cochran moved, Grathwol seconded, to recommend to the
Board that the LMCD staff prepare an Ordinance change which would
allow the staff to issue new and renewal Special Event Licenses.
VOTE: Motion carried unanimously.
9. Boater Education Programs
Thibault presented Education and Enforcement Objective 3,
Page 34 of the Management Plan which calls for development of
boater education programs in lake high school districts. It was
the thought that Special Deputies could work with the program.
Chandler has advised that the Water Patrol does have education
programs but the policy is that licensed deputies must be the
instructors. He does not believe the Water Patrol administration
would allow Special Deputies to be instructors. With the limited
staff it would be difficult for the Water Patrol deputies to
carry out the program.
Foster suggested the LMCD could budget funds or could work
the program through the Minnetonka Power Squadron. Summer and
winter programs could be developed. The executive director said
it would require some funding but is achievable. The staff will
contact the Minnetonka Power Squadron, which already has educa-
tion programs.
10. Adjournment
Foster declared the meeting adjourned at 6 p.m.

City Planner, Mark Koegler, reviewed the draft of the Nature
Conservation Areas Plan, including the Introduction, Definition,
Site Inventory, and NCA Designation Parameters. Koegler briefly
reviewed the first three sections of the proposed plan noting that
these topics basically state the facts. Koegler summarized each
proposed NCA Designation Parameter and requested input from the
Commission, as follows:
1. Type of Use. Not active uses are proposed.
Site Size. No minimum size is proposed, however, it may be
preferable to require, for example, a minimum width to prevent
5 or 10 foot wide strips to be designated as an NCA.
Amount of Existing Open Space in the Vicinity. Koegler
suggested that NCA areas be scattered throughout the City and
not clumped together in one area. Casey commented that if two
sites in one area which could be combined should be left open
to consideration.
Relationship to City Parks. Koegler suggested that NCA's be
individual separate sites, and not be connected to or be any
part of an existing park. Schmidt questioned the intent, she
referred to Doone Park for an example which is partially a
wooded area which could be designated as a NCA. Also, Rustic
Place, the area adjacent to the school property and adjacent
to Langdon Park would be a good NCA. Koegler suggested that
these areas be designated as passive park as they could have
Park and Open Space Contsston Minutes
January 1~, 1993
nature trails and they are connected to the parks; his
interpretation of a NCA is an area not having any active uses
such as trails. The commission basically agreed that the
areas connected to parks could be considered passive areas and
not NCA's. Casey commented that it could benefit the passive
areas to be designated NCA's if a management plan is
developed.

Se
Site Characteristics. Koegler commented that sites containing
unique flora, fauna or other natural characteristics, or sites
that have the potential to be readily reclaimed by natural
vegetation should be eligible for NCA designation.
Hist_____qoric and Archaeolo ical Characteristics. Koegler
commented that sites with indian mounds, fossil relics and
other features could be preserved by the NCA designation.
~oxious Weed~. Koegler suggested that the designation of an
NCA should not occur simply to manage or remove an existing
weed problem. Some of these sites may be better if purchased
by an adjoining property owner and developed with a garage or
an addition.
~lleqal Dumping. Koegler implied that NCA status should not
be used solely as a tool to help prevent illegal dumping from
occurring.
9. ~se of Adjoininq Propertie=;. Koegler stated that it is
9ecessary to consider adjacent land uses that may negatively
impact the use of a site as a NCA.
Koegler commented that if the Park Commission thinks of any other
possible parameters, they can be added as the plan is developed.
Casey commented that he would like to see the plan include the idea
that the City intends to explore options of different methods to
obtain private lands and how to protect them.
The intent of the plan was reviewed. Ahrens suggested that maybe
the City Council needs to be asked what type of direction the Park
Commission should take. The intent of the plan was basically
summarized that it will be a tool to help determine what properties
should become NCA's. The City Planner determined, after much
discussion, to continue on track with the plan until further
advised.
Sections of the plan to follow will include Administration/
Maintenance, Financial Implications, and Recommendations.

Park and Open Space Commission Minutes January 14, 1993
REVIEW 1993 PARK IMPROVEMENTS AT THREE POINTS PARg
Parks Director, Jim Fackler, presented to the Commission optional
plans available for the playground equipment to be purchased for
Three Points Park. After reviewing the options, the Commission
decided to go with the wooden set with a green accent color as
shown in the recommended example on page 32 of the catalog.
Some apparatus options suggested by the Commission, if feasible,
are: a balance beam, a sliding rope, and a toss and score.
REVIEW 1993 AGENDA CALENDAR AND SET DATE FOR PARKS TOUR
It was agreed that the annual parks tour will be in May. Suggested
topics for the tour were NCA's and commons markings/signage. At
the March 11th meeting the Commission will further discuss the
theme and potential sites to visit.
Fackler noted that the new playground equipment at Three Points
Park will not be installed until the end of the summer; the
Commissioner's agreed they could drive by the park to view the new
equipment on their own time.
The November 11th meeting was rescheduled to November 4th due to a
conflict with Veteran's Day.
LMCD REPRESENTATIVE'S REPORT
It was noted in Tom Reese's report, Item 2.6, that the DNR has
drafted an interagency agreement that sets for the rules of
dredging on the lake. Asleson questioned how this agreement may
affect city projects. Casey requested that the City get a copy of
the draft for review.
Item 4.2 relating to the light on Priest Bay (Highland End Park)
was discussed. Asleson suggested that the City take a look at
other options to solve the subject offending light. Fackler noted
that the angle has been changed on the existing light twice. The
light at this park is used to illuminate the hill for sliding at
night, and also to illuminate the docks for security. If separate
lights were installed for the docks they would need to be shrouded
and two new poles would be necessary. It was determined that
Fackler will check with NSP on lighting options and prices for the
area.
The Parks Director added that the Dock Inspector and himself
attended a lake access task force meeting at the LMCD and they are
conducting a study to determine lake use by lakeshore residents
versus non-lakeshore residents.

MINUTES OF A MEE G OF THE
MOUND ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION
JANUARY 25, 1993
Those present were: Chair Bill Meyer, Commissioners Geoff Michael,
Frank Weiland, Michael Mueller, and Mark Hanus, city Council
Representative Liz Jensen, city Manager Ed Shukle, City Planner
Mark Koegler, Building official Jon Sutherland, and Secretary Peggy
James.
The following people were also in attendance: Bruce Chamberlain,
Economic Development Commissioners Paul Meisel, Mark Brewer, Jerry
Longpre, and Sharon McMenamy-Cook, City Council Representative Ken
Smith, and also from the Design Team was Gene Hostetler.
MINUTES
The Planning Commission Minutes of January 11, 1993 were presented
for approval.
MOTION made by Weiland, seconded by Michael to approve
the Planning Commission Minutes as written. Motion
carried unanimously.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION (EDC} REVIEWING THE PL/~NNING
COMMISSION'S CONCERNS REGARDING THE MOUND ENVIRONMENTAL AI~D
&PPE]~RANCE MODEL.,
Bruce Chamberlain informed the Planning Commission that the Mound
Environmental and Appearance Model will be presented to the City
Council on February 9, 1993 to get approval for a Request for
Proposal to solicit to developers.
The EDC would like to receive the blessing of the Planning
Commission prior to proceeding with the model, specifically, get
the sign portion of the plan to conform to existing ordinances or
get good ideas on how to address this issue.
Mueller commented that one of his concerns related to the promotion
of the use of banners. Mueller's interpretation of a banner is a
long sign which droops, gets torn or ripped easily, and looks bad
if not maintained. The EDC explained that their interpretation of
a banner is a vertical sign, longer than it is wide, and projected
off a pole or roof. The Planning Commission agreed that these
types of banners would be acceptable, however, it should be
delineated in the model what banner types are recommended.
Wall projection signs were addressed. It was noted that the
current code restricts these signs to not project more than 18
inches into the right-of-way. It was noted that this requirement
& i
Plann[n~ Co~[s~[on ~[nute~
JanuarF 25, 1993
will not be an issue if the proposed layout of the new road is
implemented.
Mark Brewer commented that they are only hoping to receive the
blessing of the Planning Commission and hope that the Planning
Commission will agree to work on any ordinance amendments in the
future, if needed. He reminded the Planning Commission that this
is only a model and is not set in stone.
After further review of the Signage section, the Planning
Commission determined that some types of signage which are not
recommended for use may be acceptable, and what about franchise
signs? The majority agreed that it is okay to encourage the plan
and use it as a "wish list,, however, it could be written to provide
more flexibility, the language could be softer.
Michael Mueller raised the issue of districting and commented that
he would be in favor of creating a separate district for the newly
developed area and require specific rules for that district.
Basically, the Planning Commission related to the EDC that they are
in favor of the model. Liz Jensen would like to ensure that the
MTC Park and Ride is not lost through redevelopment.
ZONING CODE REVIEW: DRAFT 2 PRINTED 1-12-93.
City Planner, Mark Koegler, informed the Commission that this draft
of the Zoning Code does not include the requirement that newly
created lots be 10,000 square feet. He related that the City
Attorney has determined that this would not be legally do-able and
it would infringe on peoples property rights. Koegler commented
that an alternative would be to do a study and rezone all possible
developable areas to an R-1 zone.
Koegler stated that he will forward any of the Planning
Commission,s comments to the City Council at their meeting tomorrow
night (January 26th). He added that all appropriate illustrations
will be included in the final draft. The Planning Commission
commented on the following:
p. 3, 350:310, 1. & 3.:
p. 9, 350:310, 60.:
Mueller questioned what is "use?" Should
the reference to "use" be removed?
Koegler will check into this.
Typo noted, "Rome" should be "Home.',

Hanus noted that the definition for a
lakeshore lot does not include lots
abutting commons, even though they have
been allowed to have accessory building
setbacks as though they were considered
lakeshore or through lots. Mueller
questioned if the properties on Ridgewood
Road abutting Highland End Park should be
considered lakeshore lots. He noted that
the distance between the park and the
property was very wide. The definition
was suggested to be changed as follows:
"LOt, Lakeshore.
Mueller asked if the verbiage in this
definition could be cleaned up. Koegler
noted that this is the definition used by
the DNR. It was determined that the
definition should remain as written.
1) Mueller questioned why a 6' setback
is required for accessory buildings in
the side yard of a dwelling which only 4'
is required in the front yard for
lakeshore or through lots and only 4' is
required in the rear yard. The secretary
noted that these setbacks also apply to
decks. Mueller commented that the
setbacks are ridiculous and suggested the
side yard setback be all 4' or all 6' no
matter if it is in the side yard or not.
Some of the commissioners were not in
favor a reducing the required 6' setback
to 4' as they feel 4' is already to
slack, and the 6' requirement keeps the
side yards more open. A poll was taken
to determine who is in favor of allowing
a 4' side yard setback for accessory
buildings in the side yard, the result
was a split vote with 3 in favor
(Mueller, Jensen, and Hanus), and 3
opposed (Michael, Meyer and Weiland). It
was agreed that a 6' side yard setback
for all would be best but that would
create an massive amount of variances.

Koegler will investigate the intent of
this paragraph and adjust the verbiage
appropriately.
It was noted that this section should
reflect that sheds be required to meet
accessory building setbacks. Weiland
questioned where dog houses fit into the
ordinance.
Mueller commented that both these
sections should be amended to include
requirements for rear yard setbacks when
applicable. The Commission agreed and
recalled this change previously.
p. 67, 350:710, 2. The secretary questioned if recreational
vehicles should be required to have a 50
foot setback from the O.H.W. The
Commission unanimously agreed not to
restrict the lakeshore setback for
recreational vehicles.
The City Planner stated that it is proposed the City Council will
hold a public hearing on the Zoning Code Modifications/Shoreland
Management Ordinance on February 23, 1993. The Commission asked
that they be given the opportunity to review any amended changes
prior to the hearing.

Michael Mueller, Chair of the Truth in Housing Subcommittee,
commented that he hopes the Planning Commissioners take time to go
through the documents provided. The Building official commented
that he already has some suggested changes.
Mueller added that he would hope this proposed ordinance could be
forwarded to the City Council as soon as possible. He noted the
zoning portion of the document and questioned what could be trimmed
from this section with still accomplishing what is wanted.
This topic will be placed on the next planning commission meeting
agenda for discussion.

Re: Mound V. Dean Hanus
TEL[PHONE
Dear Ed:
The prosecution relating to the construction on commons
by Dean Hanus has been concluded. The trial started on
February 2, 1993. Due to the difficulty in finding an
available Judge, and then the removal of the first judge by
petition filed by Mr. Hanus, we didn't start the trial in
front of Judge Gary Larson until about 2:30 p.m. on the 2nd.
Mr. Hanus had filed several different motions for dismissal,
so it was necessary to first hold a pretrial hearing on
those motions. We were about half of the way through those
motions when the first day of trial ended. Mr. Hanus
offered a guilty plea to the charge of maintaining
structures on the commons without a maintenance permit, a
violation of Code Section 320:00, Subd. 3. I should add
that Judge Larson became aware of the pending civil suit
relating to the boathouse during the pretrial hearing.
Judge Larson indicated that in his view the removal of the
boathouse was a civil issue, not a criminal issue, and the
removal question should be resolved in the civil case before
Judge Albrecht. Accordingly, Mr. Eanus pled guilty to
maintaining structures on the commons without a permit. He
was sentenced pursuant to Minn. Stat. 609.135, imposition of
sentence was stayed for one year, and Mr. Hanus was ordered
to pay prosecution costs to the City of Mound in the amount
of $7oo.oo,
The matter of Mound v. Carole Munson i~ scheduled for
March 2, 1993. If you have any questions regarding this
matter, please feel free to contact me.

SUBCOMMITTEE PROGRESS.
1. Access Siting Committee. The committee completed its
review immediately prior to this meeting. It reviewed
and will be further evaluating procedures for handling
public access site inquiries to meet and not compromise
MN statute requirements for confidentiality during the
access negotiation process between the MN DNR and a
willing seller. The proposed procedures attempting to
meet some earlier task force participant concerns for
open communication on potential access sites is
incompatible with the states "Owners Bill of Rights"
which govern prospective access acquisitions.
The committee also reviewed previous access sites
identified in the 1983 and 1986 access studies. It also
identified a list of prospective sites known to be under
consideration at this time.
Since the committee has more preparations on the items
being considered, it must meet again to review progress
before it can report to the Task Force.
Agreements Committee. A model Car/Trailer Access Parking
Agreement has been drafted. The committee is comfortable
that the agreement is ready for introduction to cities
and agencies. DNR and LMCD staff will Join with LMCD
board members, the respective Lake Access Task Force
member and appropriate city/agency representatives to
initiate the agreement process. The Steering Committee
agreed this is the appropriate next step in the agreement
plan. Hennepin County, Deephaven, Minnetrista, Mound and
Wayzata are proposed for initial contact.
FACILITATOR CONTRACT. Foster and Grathwol reviewed the LMCD
board discussion held on the proposed contract Don Buckhout
submitted in December to formalize the working arrangement
for his facilitation service. Board clarification was asked
on Buckhout's affiliation with DNR. Buckhout was identified
to the Board 6/24/92 as the Alternate Dispute Resolutions
Coordinator for the DNR. A board memo from staff noted at
that time that the fee would be $25/hr. Payment is to the
DNR for the service provided under such a special agreement.
Steering Committee Minutes, 2/3/93, p. 2
Board members also questioned the continuing need for this
facilitation service, asking that the LMCD Administrative
Committee review the agreement.
Buckhout offered his understanding of his facilitator role.
Namely, it is a role he will continue as long as needed and
for as long as his service is recognized as fair with the
group he is facilitating. Buckhout originally understood he
would be facilitating three or four subcommittee meetings.
He did not envision the major task force role evolving which
resulted in developing the extensive operating guidelines.
Foster offered his support of continuing Buckhout's service
for Task Force meetings. The committee concenses agreed with
that position, with the proviso that Buckhout could be asked
to assist on any future sensitive issue aside from Task Force
meetings. This recommendation will be presented to the LMCD
Administrative Committee 2/5/93.
TASK FORCE MEETIN~ PREPARATIONS. The Task Force meeting
scheduled for 2/10/93 was recommended to be postponed to
3/18/93 in order to allow further preparations underway by
the Access Siting Committee. It was understood that contacts
with cities/agencies would begin toward reaching agreements
on car/trailer parking at existing accesses.
NEXT MEETING, ADJOURNMENT. The next meeting was recommended
for 8:30 pm, Tuesday, March 9, immediately following the
Access Siting Subcommittee. The meeting was adjourned at
10:00 pm.

OBJ£CT~¥ES REVIEW. Upon presentation of the objectives
forwarded by the Lake Access Task Force, items a, b and c,
there was no recommendation for change.
ACCESS RESOURCE MATERIAL.
1. DNR Land Owner's Bill of Rights. Kimball and Markell
offered an overview of this procedure for handling public
access land acquisition. The Bill of Rights was actually
enacted by the state legislature in the mid-70's.
Confidentiality during the negotiation process with a
willing seller is the key element of the Bill of Rights.
The risk of outside public pressure on a willing seller
prior to this Bill of Rights did result in many sales
being thwarted or withdrawn. It is essential for the DNR
to utilize this process Kimball and Markell concluded.
It was the process used in the Maxwell Bay site purchase.
2. 1983 and 1986 Task Force Studies. Germanson stated he
believes it is important to keep the elements of past
studies relating to public access siting be kept in front
of the subcommittee and Task Force during this process.
The 1983 Criteria/Goals to be used in evaluating
selecting potential new access sites for fishing craft
and small recreation boats was reviewed. This outline
appears on pages 16 and 17 of the '83 Task Force Study.
It was recommended the outline be used as a "Site
Suitability Ranking Criteria. outline, using a high,
medium and Iow ranking system. Amendments to the
criteria were offered, and will be reviewed as amended by
the subcommittee at its March 9 meeting.
Public Access Sites, Appendix C, from the '83 Task Force
report was circulated. Many of these prospective sites
no longer exist due to site development or determination
that they would not qualify per current Parking Standards
Slide Show of Current Access Sites. Germanson reported
he was unable to do the aerial flight from which the
slides would be prepared. He expects to have it ready
for the next meeting.

Current Site Improvement Schedule. The following sites
were identified as under consideration for projected
parking improvement or in need of access improvement:
* Trunk Hwy 101 Causeway, under EIS review currently.
* Grays Bay Dam, related to 101 Causeway redevelopment
* Wayzata Bay, County Rd. 16, unsafe traffic patterns
* Carsons Bay, Deephaven, nearby parking restricted
* North Arm, Orono anticipates County Rd 51 will be
restricted, no C/T parking if Maxwell Bay access opens
* Spring Park, maintenance yard in Orono under study
* Mound Park, Cooks Bay, off-street parking available in
nearby private lots to be negotiated.
* Kings Point Access, under existing agreement with
Hennepin Parks this would be closed.
Prospective Sites Discussed. Many sites were discussed
by the subcommittee as prospective access locations. No
action was deemed appropriate at this time. Markell
offered to locate a detailed list from the '83 and '86
Task Force studies to assist the subcommittee's awareness
of previous prospective sites around the lake.
Procedure for Handling Access Site ~ffers and Inquiries.
The draft procedure prepared by LMCD staff in response to
a Task Force member's concern that an open procedure is
needed has been reviewed by DNR legal counsel. According
to Kimball, DNR counsel advises that this draft does not
maintain the element of confidentiality, as noted in
para. 1 above. DNR counsel also observes that terms of
this draft procedure places the burden on the property
owner to Justify that the owner's property is suitable
~or an access. MN Statute 8402.74 & 75 covers the
confidentiality for a prospective seller, Kimball added.
It was pointed out in the discussion that a city would
have an advance role in assessing a property's
suitability for a public access if it is advertised for
sale. However, where confidentiality is important to the
seller, MN Statute provisions will apply.
Based upon the above observations, it was the
subcommittee's unanimous concensus that the draft
procedure for handling offers and inquiries concerning
potential public access sites on Lake Minnetonka be
dropped ~rom further consideration, and be so recommended
to the Lake Access Task Force.

Geographic Balance. Schneider reported an observation
that public accesses users prefer accesses reasonably
distributed from east to west, and north to south. This
is recommended in the Zone criteria of the '83 study.
Few Larger Sites vs. Many Smaller Sites. Locating a
public access site becomes more difficult for the user as
the number increases. Smaller sites may fill, forcing a
move to another site until an opening is found. Four to
five large sites on the lake, geographically balanced,
also affords more manageable controls for inspection,
maintenance and other regulatory purposes Schneider added
Larger size sites were suggested to be 75 or more
car/trailer spaces per site.
Proximity to Major Roads. Ease of location for public
use favors locations on county trunk highways wherever
possible.
ADDITIONAL BUSINESS:
1. MN DOT presentation on Trunk Hwy 101 Causeway Access
options was suggested for a future meeting. Germanson
will inquire as to availability of a presentation.
NEXT MEETING, ADJOURNMENT. 6:30 pm, Tuesday, March 9, was
recommended for the next meeting. The meeting was adjourned

MODEL CAR/TRAILER ACCESS PARKING AGREEMENT:
A draft model agreement was reviewed as prepared by Strommen
and Kimball. A brief one-page agreement statement is to be
accompanied by two exhibits or attachments, namely:
Checklist for evaluating the parking agreement
Plan indicating location of c/t parking spaces
The draft agreement was reviewed with a number of suggestions
to continue the simplification process, as well as to clarify
points in the checklist. It was concluded the checklist
should serve to identify the number of car/trailer parking
spaces in a manner in which they can be easily entered and
added up to a final total. Strommen will continue the
editing to bring it to that point of usefulness.
Shoulder width on streets to preclude a car door opening into
traffic was discussed. It was concluded to leave the
statement as is with the idea that it will encourage making
adequate shoulders available for vehicle parking.
Signage was discussed as to what type of signage is intended.
Uniformity among all accesses is desired, as well as ease of
making a change in the access lot plan or available streets.
A laser-print quality plan plastic-laminated was suggested.
Strommen suggested LMCD staff work with the cities and
agencies to coordinate uniform signage at all accesses.
SECURING SIGNED AGREEMENTS. It was proposed that agreements
be presented initially to Hennepin County, Deephaven, Mound
and Wayzata for possible completion by the fishing opener.
Brandt advised six to eight weeks is normal processing time
for contracts to move through staff and county board reviews.
Brandt asked for a copy of the final agreement at the
earliest date.
ADJOURNMENT. There being no further business,
was adjourned,~:35 pm.
