MINUTES - MOUND CITY COUNCIL MEETING - FEBRUARY 13, 1996

Jensen. Phyllis Jessen was absent and excused. Also present were: City Manager Ed Shukle,
City Attorney Curt Pearson, Public Works Superintendent Greg Skinner, Fire Chief Steve
Erickson, Parks Director Jim Fackler, City Engineer John Cameron and Acting City Clerk Linda

Debi Schultz, Tom Stokes, Todd Westlund, Kurt Berglund, Jerome Trevis, Tom Hawley,

PUBLIC HEARING: PROPOSED UTILITY AND STREET IMPROVEMENTS,
KILDARE ROAD.
The Mayor introduced John Cameron, City Engineer, who gave an update on the history of this
proposed street improvement, stating it was denied in 1978 because the dedicated right-of-way
could not be obtained from the adjacent property owners. He stated the owners of lots 21-26
located on the northwest end of the unimproved Kildare Lane, had recently petitioned and now
the owner of the other 12 lots on the northeast end the unimproved Kildare Lane has petitioned
for this improvement. Mr. Cameron stated he had prepared cost estimates for a 28' wide street
and for a 24' wide street. He recommended the 24' wide street due to topography. There
Minutes - Mound City Council
February 13, 1996
would be no parking allowed on either side of the street. The proposed street assessment
included all of the properties affected by the improvement, both on the north and south side of
Kildare Lane. The installation of a storm sewer is not required as the end of Kildare Road is
at the cul-de-sac and the elevation is high enough for water to drain towards the existing storm
sewer on Kildare at Kerry Lane. He stated the easements will have to be donated as the
improvement will enhance the abutting properties. The easement will be along the north side
of Kildare Road. Mayor Polston stated it wasn't right to assess the existing property developed
to the south. He wanted the properties to the south of Kildare Road to be excluded from the
street assessment.
The Mayor opened the Public Hearing.
Steve Grand, 2620 Kerry Lane - He disagreed with the plan of no storm sewer needed. The
existing Kildare Lane to the east of his residence slopes toward him, with heavy rain drainage
now and the new Kildare Lane on the west will also slope at him from the other direction. He
stated they have to shovel several times during the year, not just in the spring, to remove the
huge build up of sand that is deposited in front of his driveway from the stormwater runoff. By
adding another sloped street to also drain in the same storm sewer, it would be a real mess. The
rushing water also erodes the blacktop street in front of his driveway and the City has to repair
the area every year. He would like to see another storm sewer installed to handle the rain flow.
Tom Stokes, Fine Line Design - He is the construction firm to develop the Berglund property.
He is also purchasing the property from Mr. Berglund. He has done a sketch review with the
City and they are in agreement with the road installation of a 15% pitch and a 24' width. He
stated they would like to shorten the cul-de-sac to protect the building pad there, by moving it
to the east. This would put the cul-de-sac area more onto the property to the east, where Fine
Line is developing. This was agreeable with Mr. Stokes; he wanted the bluff line to be
protected. Fine Line Design would like to install the utilities and street themselves. He stated
Fine Line Design would pick up 60% of the assessment charged to the properties to the south
on Kildare Lane.
Tracy Ingram, Realtor for property owners at the west end of Kildare, stated his sellers agreed
to moving the proposed cul-de-sac to the ay ext. -J2~
Tom Stokes asked how would it be handled if the land owners at the west end of the
improvement were not able to pay for the improvement up front, would the property be
assessed? How would he, as the developer, receive their portion of funds to pay for the project.
He would like to be the contractor for the utilities and street and assume the costs. When the
street improvement was completed, it would be turned over to the City.
Minutes - Mound City Council February 13, 1996
City Attorney Curt Pearson stated if the City were the contractor, it would have to go out for
bids, award bids to the lowest capable contractor, etc., and should not be the banker.
The Mayor closed the Public Hearing at 8:10 PM.
City Attorney Curt Pearson stated that Mr. Berglund will be the fee owner of his property
during the construction. The current owners of all of the parcels wishing for the improvement
and developers should sign a legal document stating that they agree to pay 100% of the cost and
assessments of this project before any development begins. They must also agree in writing to
donate the easement. He suggested this item be continued until February 27, 1996 when he
could prepare a document and it could be signed by all the parties. This would give the City
a guarantee that the involved parties would be responsible for funding the project.
City Engineer John Cameron stated that due to the steep grade at the intersection, the
intersection may have to be reshaped. Mayor Polston was concerned with the velocity of the
water.
Ron Moore, Bumet Realty, stated that two lots on the comer are higher, where the land was cut
for the street prior, are bare topsoil, with no ground cover. When homes are constructed, the
runoff of topsoil will stop.
MOTION by Polston, seconded by Hanus, to continue this item until
February 27, 1996 when the attorney can have a document prepared and
signed by all parties of the petitions and developers will agree to donate the
right-of-way for the project and all parties will agree to pay 100% of the
improvement. Also to include language for the city engineer to study the
stormwater drain situation. The vote carried 4-0. Jessen was absent and
excused.

1995 DEPARTMENT HEAD ANNUAL REPORTS:
- JIM FACKLER, PARKS DIRECTOR
- STEVE ERICKSON, FIRE CHIEF
- GREG SKINNER, PUBLIC WORKS SUPERINTENDENT
Each Department Supervisor asked the Council if they had any questions with regard to their
annual reports. Mayor Polston asked Greg Skinner, Public Works Superintendent, to research
the possibility of using the same material in all the crosswalks that was used in the replaced
crosswalk on County Road 15, as the material held up very well through the winter weather.
Also, to inquire about the County installing day glo green pedestrian crossing signs at the
crosswalk on Commerce by the Pond Arena. Mr. Skinner said the cost of the other crosswalk
marking material was 3 times that of the paint, but it did hold up very well. He would look into
the requests of the Mayor.

1.7
DISCUSSION: REQUEST TO PURCHASE LOT 1, BLOCK 20, SHADYWOOD
POINT, PID//13-117 24 11 0064 BY PHILIP KLEIN AND THOMAS ALINE
City Manager Ed Shukle stated this item has been before the Council previously. It is a tax
forfeit property. The Parks and Open Space Commission discussed designating it as an NCA.
However, it was never classified as an NCA. Mr. Klein and Mr. Aune are adjacent property
owners and they would like to purchase this lot and subdivide it between the two of them. The
Parks and Open Space Commission deny the sale of this lot. The City Engineer John Cameron
would like the City to retain this property as it is a drain area for the storm water into Lake
Minnetonka. The Council had asked the city attorney to research the process of how to convey
this lot to the State of Minnesota so it could be sold to Mr. Aune and Mr. Klein. A resolution
has been prepared to direct the conveyance of this lot for sale to adjacent owners.
City Engineer John Cameron referred to his letter of July 1995, and previous letters from 1984,
and 1986 stating the value of the lot to the City as a stormwater drainage area. He stated that
in the future, the City will be mandated to provide a plan for storm water runoff, designating
holding areas as retention basins to take the "first flush" of street pollutants. If the City were
to release the property for sale, and then need it in the future for this purpose, it would be very
difficult to re-acquire. Discussion suggested the City declaring an easement over this property
for stormwater purposes. However, the language would be very complicated, and the
information could well be overlooked by future buyers of these properties. City Attorney Curt
Pearson stated he works with several watersheds and direction will be coming in the future from
the watersheds to the municipalities to prepare stormwater management plans. Also discussed
was the possibility of the City researching to see if this certain parcel would work into a
stormwater management plan. The city engineer stated it could cost between $400-$500 to do
this. The Council asked the potential buyers if they wanted to pay for this research. They
declined stating they did not wish to pay this not knowing for sure if they could buy the
property. Comment was made by the Council that the State could only sell the lot to one of the
4
Minutes - Mound City Council
February 13, 1996
adjacent property owners. Mayor Polston stated that by not knowing for sure whether this
parcel would be needed in the future for storm water runoff needs, he did not want to release
it for sale. Councilmember Jensen agreed with Mayor Polston and also did not want to see the
taxpayers of Mound pay for any study that would benefit just a few citizens.
MOTION by Mayor Polston, seconded by Councilmember Ahrens and
carried unanimously to table the release of Lot 1, Block 20, Shadywood
Point, PID 13-11%24 11 0064 to the State for sale to adjacent property
owners.

1.10 REQUEST FROM LMCD TO COMMIT FUNDS IN 1997 BUDGET AND 1998

City Manager Ed Shukle stated the LMCD, in conjunction with the University of Minnesota and
the DNR is planning to draft an application for grant funds from the Legislative Commission on
Minnesota Resources (LMCR) for goose control. The grant requirements propose that each lake
community budget $1000 in 1997 and $1000 in 1998 to help fund the program. In lieu of funds,

U of M staff. The University will contribute $14,000 over the same two year period. The
LMCD is asking the Council to agree to participate in 1997 and 1998 with budget funds.

COMMONS TASK FORCE DISCUSSION
A discussion with the Commons Task Force was held regarding the Task Force's
recommendations. Mark Goldberg, Commons Task Force Chair, took the Council through the
Task Force Recommendations. The following comments were made in relationship to each
recommendation:
1. RECOMMENDATION - Maintain the total number of boats participating in the program.
Keep non-abutter boats within walking distance of their homes.
CONSENSUS - The Council felt that this was a reasonable recommendation and anticipated no
real debate.
2. RECOMMENDATION - Attempt to reduce the number of dock sites in front of some
abutters homes, recognize that some commons have more problems than others due to
topography and/or tight quarters.
a. Encourage increased share dock usage.
b. Explore creating small multiple dock complexes (about six boats) at neighborhood
locations within walking distance.
c. Explore creating multiple boat dock complexes, where possible, at public park
locations (such as Mound Bay Park) without infringing on existing usage.
CONSENSUS The Council consensus was that they were, in concept, okay with this
recommendation. They did, however, feel that they were some distance away from resolving
this issue and need to focus further study on the recommendation.
3. RECOMMENDATION - Existing encroaching structures - Governing encroaching
structures more stringently than the Shoreland Management Ordinance is justified only where
non-abutting users are hindered by an encroachments existence.
The non-abutting survey results indicate that overall they do not have a problem with commons
encroachments.
The flow-chart should be amended and the ordinance amended according to the flow-chart to
increase the number of years for which a permit is valid from "three years" to "for the life of
the structure. ~ Encroachments should be regulated by the Shoreland Management Ordinance,
the same as structures on private property. The ownership/responsibility of these encroachments
may need to be clarified by the city attorney. There appeared to be some differences in opinion
on the Council related to this recommendation. Concern was expressed with regard to allowing
structures and therefore the perception is that the City Council would be condoning the existence
Minutes - Committee of the Whole - February 20, 1996 Page 2
of structures. The recommendation did not receive any consensus. With regard to the flow-
chart it was suggested that any amendments to the flow-chart should be delayed.
4. RECOMMENDATION - The topography of some commons areas cause significant
backyard privacy and visual impact problems. Large boats (e.g. cabin cruisers), boat canopies,
and winter storage needs to be limited in those areas. It was suggested that a commons area be
selected for focusing on these particular issues.
5. RECOMMENDATION - Explore establishing neighborhood associations or committees
to work out problems specific to their commons. It was suggested that the Devon Common area
be used as a pilot area or test area to try out neighborhood association meetings.
6. RECOMMENDATION - Direct the Task Force to work with City Staff to make
implementation recommendations for specific commons areas with problems. This relates to
item #5.
7. RECOMMENDATION - Communicate with the public to increase understanding and
give opportunity for additional dialogue. The City Council was in agreement that as much
information be published about the commons issues via open forums, Laker articles or the City
Newsletter. It was suggested that the Task Force conduct three neighborhood meetings in the
Devon area for discussing the Commons Task Force recommendations. The City Council
requested that the Task Force meet once again prior to March 15th, so that a time table could
be established and the City Council could be advised as to expect further recommendations from
the Commons Task Force.
Questions were asked from members of the audience with relationship to the Waterbank
Common area and the storage of boat canopies and dock material, as well as fishing fights for
non-residents and fishing rights of other members of the public. Mayor Polston requested that
the city council ask the city attorney for a legal opinion on whether the City can establish rules
and regulations to limit the use of the commons, i.e., fishing restrictions on commons areas, etc.
The City Manager will follow up on this request.
PLANTING POLICIE~ ON COMMONS
The City Manager reported that the Park and Open Space Commission had asked the City
Council previously to review guidelines for planting on commons and public lands. The matter
had been put on hold subject to the Task Force developing recommendations on commons and
commons uses. The Council indicated that the Park and Open Space Commission will be
advised at a later date once the Task Force has completed their study of the commons system.
NEXT MEETING
It was noted that the next meetihg of the Committee of the Whole was scheduled for Tuesday,
March 19, 1996, 7:30, Mound City Hall. Upon motion by Polston, seconded by Ahrens, and
carried unanimously the meeting was adjourned at 9:05 PM.

RE: Kildare Road Improvements
Dear Mr. Ingram:
Enclosed is a Petition and Waiver AgreemeJ3~or the Kildare Lane Improvements. This
document was prepared by Curt Pearson, City Attorney, upon direction of the City
Council at its meeting of February 13, 1996.
Please review this with the people you are representing who are the true fee owners
of the properties. I have forwarded a copy of this Petition and Waiver to Mr. Tom
Stokes, Fine Line Design, who is the person purchasing the properties from Mr. Norm
Bergland. Once the documents have been reviewed, they need to be signed and
notarized by all owners and encumbrancers. Please forward this document to the
people you represent and advise me as to whether they will sign the Petition and
Waiver Agreement. The City Council will be continuing the public hearing at its
meeting of February 27, 1996, at 7:30 PM. The Council will want to know if the
parties involved are all in agreement with the Petition and Waiver Agreement. If you
have any questions, please contact me.

Re: Kildare Road Improvements
Dear Ed:
In accordance with the direction of the City Council and upon the request of the
property owners, we have prepared a petition and waiver agreement for the Kildarc Lane
improvements. I believe this is self-explanatory in that ALL the owners or persons with
interest need to sign the agreement, agreeing to pay 100% of the cost of the improvements
and waiving any deficiencies or further hearings.
h is imperative that the applicants obtain the notarized signatures and agreement
of ALL owners and encumbraneers. We were informed the other night that one parry is
buying from someone else and if thig is under a contract, both the contract vendee and the
contract vendor must sign this agreement. The realtor representing the people who own
the. lots at the west end of the Lane are not the proper people to sign thi~ petition, but it
has to be signed by the true fee owners of the properties.
I am Faxing you a copy of this material on Friday afternoon and will put a clean
copy in the mail today. At the end of the agreement I have left blan~ for the proper
people to designate who they are and their interests and to have it no~

GENERAL
The section of Kildare Road under study in this report lies between Kerry Lane on the east and unimproved
Kings Lane on the west. The original plat of Seton was recorded on December 13, 1913. As with many
dedicated right-of-ways fi.om that era, Kildare Koad was platted at 30 feet wide. Block 13 which is adjacent to
the south side ofKildare Koad, contains four homes, two of which are located on large parcels. Lots 15 thru
32, Block 11, which are all vacant land are adjacent on the north side. The Owners of Lots 21 thru 26, Block
11, Seton has filed a petition with City requesting utility and street improvements to serve their property. The
remainder of Block 11, Lots, 15 thru 20 and 27 thru 32 are combined into one parcel and owned by a single
party. The aerial photograph of Exhibit A shows Blocks 11 and 13 and also the surrounding area~
Improvements to this section of Kildare Road were first proposed during the planning stage in 1978 for the
1979 street improvement project. In fact, the owners at that time of these same Lots, 21 thru 26, Block 11,
Seton, had petitioned the City for sewer, water and street improvements. Plans for the improvemem of Kildare
Road were included when the 1979 project was bid and contracts let. Because the same owner that had
petitioned for the improvements would not grant the necessary easements to the City, the proposed
construction was eliminated fi.om the overall project. This section of Kildare Road has remained unimproved
even though a number of parties have investigated different ways to serve the property in question.
On the plat maps it appears Kings Lane could be an alternate solution for access, but this has also been
investigated in the past. A portion of the Kings Lane right-of-way could possibly be in the wetlands and the
property to be served lies at the top ofa bluffwhich would have to be traversed. For these reasons Kings Lane
has not been a viable alternative.
UTILITIES
The area of Block 11 in question is not served by City water or sewer; both of which are presently available at
the intersection of Kerry Lane and Kildare Road. Both would need to be extended fi.om said intersection,
westerly in the right-of-way of Kildare Lane as shown on Exhibit B. For purposes of this report Exhibits B and
C were taken fi.om the original utility and street plans prepared for the 1979 street improvement project. The
proposed sanitary sewer extension would be an 8" main with a manhole at the end. The watermain would be
6" with a hydrant for fire protection located in the proposed cul-de-sac. Since the proposed street would all
drain east to the existing street system, there would be no need for storm sewer.
STREET CONSTRUCTION
As with the utilities, for purposes of this report we have used the street plans as prepared for the 1979 street
improvement project and included as Exhibit C. This plan shows the standard 28 foot wide City street with
concrete curb and gutter extended to a cul-de-sac centered on the common lot line of Lots 26 and 27 which is
also the dividing line between the two ownership's. This plan also shows the proposed right-of-way for the cul-
de-sac as a 40' radius with a 35' radius improved. Both of these dimensions are 10 feet less then the City's
minimum requirement. The proposed street grade on this same plan has a portion at 13% where as the City
code for new subdivisions limit the slope to 8%.
Because of the short length for the street extension and the existing topography we would recommend also
narrowing the proposed street to 24 feet wide back to back of curb. This would prohibit parking on either side
of the street. We would also suggest that the proposed grade be raised approximately 2 feet to reduce the
amoum of excavation and lessen the side slopes. This would require increasing the maximum slope fi-om the
13% shown to 15%, which is substantially greater then allowed by City code but falls within the limits of other
existing streets in the City.
COST ESTIMATES
Enclosed as Exhibit D is a detailed breakdown of the estimated costs for the sanitary sewer and watennain
extemions. For purposes of this report, two cost estimates have been prepared for the street construction.
Alternate I is for a 28 foot wide street and Alternate II is for a 24 feet wide street. Both alternates reflect the
smaller 35' radius cul-de-sac. A detailed breakdown of the costs are included as Exhibits E and F.
ASSESSMENTS - UTILITIES
The total cost of the improvements should be paid by the properties benefiting from the improvements. It is
suggested that the costs for the sanitary sewer and watermain extensiom be assessed to the undeveloped
property in Block 11. This area is zoned R-lA which has a minimum lot area requirement of 6000 square feet
and a minimum lot width of 40 feet. For purposes of tiffs report we have divided the costs proportionately
between the 18 undeveloped lots. This would result in 1/3 of the projected costs being assessed to the property
owners petitioning for the improvements and 2/3 of the cost assessed to the 12 lot parcel under one ownership.
We have not determined how many actual building sites are possible on each of these parcels since numerous
factors such as set backs, bluffs, etc enter into that final decision. The following is a proposed assessment of
the cost for utility extensions using the previously mentioned criteria.

If any of the properties on the south side of Kildare Road in Block 13 are ever subdivided and request utility
services, they could be charged a hook-up fee at that time.
ASSESSMENTS - STREETS
In 1976 the City adopted a street improvement assessment policy under Resolution No. 76-77. The assessment
criteria is as follows:
30 percent of the total cost to be assessed based on front footage. (front and sides). All lots
shall be deemed to have at least a minimum of 40 l~ont feet.
b. 30 percent of the total cost to be assessed shall be based on the square footage of the property
to be assessed.
c. 40 percent of the total cost to be assessed shall be based on a unit basis.
Since 1976 the City Council has added the following refinements to this policy.
1. Triangle Lots - Lots that form a triangle on two streets are to be assessed for footage
on the long side only.
2. Multiple units are assessed on the basis of 3/4 unit p~ each residential unit in the
building (Example: a 50 unit apartment is assessed for 37.5 units plus footage plus
arm).
3. Lots that front on a County Road and a street improvement will be assessed on the
same bases as other lots except that the units and square footage will be reduced by 50
percent.
4. Lots that front on a street to be improved and which have previously been assessed for
another street improvement project will be assessed for footage only.
5. Lots that have streets on three sides are to be assessed for footage on the long side and
the average length of the other two sides.
6. The cost of driveway entrances over 12 feet wide are assessed directly to the property
owner.
The following is a breakdown of how the area, frontage and unit charges were calculated.

1.3 DISCUSSION: CITY ENGINEER'S FEASIBILITY REPORT RE: PUBLIC
IMPROVEMENTS, XXXX KILDARE ROAD, - CURB~ GUTTER AND'
STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
City Engineer John Cameron updated the Council stating a brief history of this
unimproved mad. He referred to the Preliminary Engineering Report on Kildare Road that
he had prepared. He referenced the suggested, costs and how these costs would be
shared. The applicant Mr. Schultz was present and asked why a cul-de-sac was required
at the end of Kildare Lane. He was informed this area was for emergency vehicles, snow
removal, and general traffic to turn around in. The property on Kildare before the
applicant's lots was discussed. Mr. Schultz stated he would like a public hearing so they
could work things out with this property owner. Mr. Cameron stated this street
improvement would be expensive. City Attorney Curt Pearson offered the following
motion:
MOTION to adopt the feasibility report for Kildare Road street and utility
improvements between Kerry Lane on the east and the unimproved Kings
Lane at the west and order a public hearing.
Mr. Pearson stated it would be in the best interest of the City to hold a public hearing.
This would not commit the Council to the project, but it would provide needed information
so the Council could decide. The City Engineer agreed with the City Attorney.
Counciimember Jensen moved and Councilmember Jessen seconded the
motion. The vote carried 4-0.
A date of January 23, 1996 was discussed for the Hearing.

SEWER).
Mayor Polston introduced Tracy Ingram, realtor for the owners of property along the
unimproved Kildare Road. Ingram stated his client had questions regarding the results
of a feasibility study and what would happen after it was completed. Mayor Polston
restated the fact that there are two property owners, one with 6 lots and one with two lots
along the unimproved road and the owner with the 6 lots does not want the improvement
or the costs and that owner did not sign the petition. The owner not wanting the
improvement would have the largest assessment. This was the reason this road was not
improved in 1978. Mayor Polston suggested they work it out with the non interested
owner. City Attorney Curt Pearson listed the process regarding what would take place:
2.
3.
4.
o
The Council would direct a feasibility study to be done.
If the Council accepts the feasibility study, they order a public hearing.
The public hearing date is published in The Laker.
Notices are mailed to all of the affected property owners informing them of the
proposed improvement and inviting them to the public hearing.
The public hearing is held.
The City Council makes their determination. If the petition represents less than
35% in frontage of the real property abutting on the street, a 4/5 vote of the
council is required. If more than 35% in frontage of the real property abutting on
the street has petitioned for the improvement, it requires 3/5 vote. However,
without the proper right-of-way, the City would have to consider condemnation if
the non approving property owner would not grant an easement or negotiate the
sale of an easement.
If all this worked out positively, and the street improvement happened with water,
sewer and curb, there would be a second public hearing for the assessments,
costs and how they should be paid. The non approving property owner could then
appeal the tax assessment.
The council would like to avoid possible confrontations. John Cameron stated the 35%
meant the amount of property frontage and the applicants do not have 35%. Ingram
stated that the other frontage property owners to the south have no desire to improve this
road.
MOTION by Ahrens, seconded by Hanus to continue this item until 12-12-95
should the applicants desire to request and pay for a feasibility study. The
vote was carried unanimously.

(STREET WITH CURB, GU'i-i'ER, WATER AND SEWER)
City Engineer John Cameron stated this improvement was applied for the first time in
1978. The owners of the abutting properties refused to grant public right-of-way for the
street, so the project on that portion of Kildare Lane was dropped. Tracy Ingrain,
representative of the sellers, was present. Cameron passed out aerial photo/maps to the
Council. He stated Kildare Lane is an unimproved street going west off Kerry Lane.
Improvements petitioned for are a street with curb, gutter, water and sewer and creating
a cul-de-sac at the west end of Kildare Lane. The petition came from the property
owners at this west end of the unimproved Kildare Lane. The owner to the east of
these properties has no interest in improvements to the street and the cost involved. Mr.
Ingrain stated that the property east of his clients is for sale also. If this improvement
were to happen, all property owners abutting the improved portion of Kiidare Lane would
be assessed a portion of the cost. Cameron stated the street needs a 30' right-of-way
and an easement would be needed.
Cameron stated a feasibility study could be prepared at an estimated cost of $500 - $600.
This cost normally is absorbed into the overall project cost when the improvement is
done. However, if the project did not go through, Council suggested Ingram talk with his
sellers to have them pay for the feasibility study, so the City is not expending funds for
a private property owner.
Consensus of the Council and the city engineer was to have Mr. Ingram talk with his
clients to see if they would be responsible for the cost of the feasibility study should the
project not go forward. The Council continued the petition until the 11-28-95 meeting, so
Mr. Ingram could talk with the petition/property owners.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Jon Sutherland
FROM: Mark Koegler
DATE: February 15, 1996
SUBJECT: DNR Notification of St. John's Lutheran Church Indian Mound
I received a telephone call today from Ceil Strauss at the DNR regarding my letter to her about the
Indian mound at St. John's Lutheran Church. She stated that she was not personally aware that a
mound existed on the site but since it is not within the shoreland area, the DNR has no specific
concerns or interests. Her only comment was that the City should make the State Archaeologist's
office and Indian Affairs Council aware of the existence of the mound. I commented that both groups
were aware of the mound from the excavation that had occurred earlier and that the City fdes
contained correspondence from both entities. As a result, she indicated that the DNR did not need
to have any further involvement with the City's setback variance.

Dear Ceil:
The Mound Planning Commission approved a conditional usc tx:rmit last night for St. John's
Lutheran Church. The hearing notice that was sent to you may not have specifically highlighted one
of the variances involved in the case pertaining to setbacks fi.om an existing Indian mound. The St.
John's site contains an identified Indian mound that is approximately 20 feet fi'om the existing church
building. Both the mound and the adjacent building do not appear to be within Mound's shoreland
zone.
As a part of the recommended approval by the Planning Commission, they approved a variance of
30 feet from Mound's required 50 foot setback from unplatted cen~teries. A key point in the
rationale for approving the variance was that it reflects "recognition" of an existing situation. The
church is not proposing any expansion within the vicinity of the Indian mound.
It is my understanding that both the State Archaeologist and th~ Indian Affairs Council were involved
previously in the identification of the subject Indian mound. If the DNR has any further comments
on this issue, it would be helpful to receive them prior to the tirn~ that this item is heard by the Mound
City Council. The item is scheduled for action by the Council on February 27, 1996.
If you have any questions on this matter, please call me.

Dear Mr. Sutherland:
In response to the February 12, 1996, discussion of the Planning Commissioners regarding a set back
variance from mound group 21 HE0062, lying within the St. John's Lutheran Church campus, it is my
understanding that the Indian Affairs Council (IAC) made their position clear. In an April 28, !995, letter
to Pastor Eric Gustafson, James L. Jones of the Indian Affairs Council, offered conditions summarized
below to protect and preserve the burial mounds.
· Cover the mound with black dirt.
· Spread grass seed in the areas with new top soil.
· Install a split rail fence around the outside perimeter of the mound along the edge of the paved road.
The church should restore the mound to a natural state, and protect it from normal foot and vehicular traffic
with fencing. I have not seen any evidence of this, nor am I privy to any plans made to preserve the burial
mound to date.
I ask the Mound City Council to adopt the recommendations of the Indian Affairs Council as additional
conditions to any variance granted to the St. John's congregation.
This is another opportunity for the people of Mound to preserve a meaningful history in this area. I would
be disappointed if in the future another variance were granted to excavate in, on, or near a burial mound
within this city. Additionally, the city should consider how this would have an impact on other sites of
similar circumstance in the city, and the effect a decision against preservation would appear to other burial
mound observers within the Twin Cities area. I hope that this information is helpful to you and others.
Very truly yours,
John Edewaard

Dear Mr. Dudzik:
I unde~rstand that you are our new State Archeologist. Welcome!
I hope that you are not feeling too 'swamped' by cases waiting to be
investigated.
I believe you are already aware of a situation that has arisen here in
Mound that is having a major impact on our church's ability to proceed
with our building plans. There are those in our community who believe
that there is a Native American burial site located on a hill on our
property. We believe this assumption to be false.
However, we wish to do the right thing, and would never consider
destroying a bona fide "mound." Therefore we need your expert opinion
on the matter as soon as possible. We would welcome the opportunity
to sit down with you and have the correct procedures outlined for us by
your office.
I will continue to try to reach you by phone in the hope that we might
set up a consultation .with you in the next two weeks or so.

Dear Members of St. Johns:
Our office has recently been informed that you plan t6 expand your
church. On Friday I was°tn the Mound vicinity and stopped by your
church to look at what I believe is the expansion area. There
appears to be a large mound in this area and this mound could
contain Native American burials.
Under Minnesota Statutes 307.05, it is a felony to disturb a human
burial. This law is Jointly administered by the Minnesota Indian
Affairs Council (MIAC) and the Office of the State Archaeologist.
Unfortunately, there is no state Archaeologist at the present and
the MIAC currently lacks a director so coerdina~ion with the law is
dtfflcult. The Minnesota Historical Society does no= have any
direct involvement in the burials law.
I-.recommend ~hat yc'! contact the.MIAC at 643-303I'"to discuss this'
m~tter with them. They can provide you with a list of contract
archaeologists who could assist you in determining if =here is a
burial mound on your property.

Dear Pastor Oustavson:
Thank you for mccting today at St. John's Church.
' ,~ discussed with yoursclf, Tom Samuclson (church council) and Jon Suthcrland (Building Official,
City of Mound), it ts thc preliminary asscssmcnt of this office that thc conspicuous cai'then structure
flanked by thc wings of thc present church building is, Indeed, a Frchistoric American Indian burial
mound. Tlx/s structure, with a base measuring approximately 80 fcct in diamctcr and a height of
· approximately 8 feet, appears to bc thc largest ora four mound group known as ¢ook'sMounds (21-
, HE-0062).
As you arc further aware, your ofces had previously been notified that this structure was a probable
burial mound by Mr. Scott Anfinson, an archaeolo~/st with thc State Historic Preservation Office
(corr~pondcncc of 09.19.94). Mr. Anflnson further noted that burial sites are afforded protection
under MN Statutes 307.08 (cop,/cncloscd). A brief article identifying this structure as a remnant
mound also appeared In a local historical society publication (Westonka Historical Society, Vol. 1,
No. 1, Winter 1995). Subsequent to this information, a dccision was made to removc trees and
brush from the structure and to cxcavatc a trench through thc length of thc structure measuring
: approximately 3 fect in width by 6 fcct in depth.
At this time, St. John's Church is enjoined from irgfiating any further disruption of this apparent
burial mound, Including, but not limited t°, disturbance of rile present surface, disturbance to sub-
surfac~, or collection of any so/Is, figlen vegetation, cultural materials or human remains which may
'become evident. There should be no further foot or vehicular traffic on or along this strum'ute.
This office will review additional dOcumentation to confirm or ctisconfirm our preliminary findings,
and will Coordinate the.se efforts with represcntative, s of thc lvlinnesota Indian Affairs Council. I
anticipate a Determination of Status within a week's time. Please contact my office immediately if
you require any additional Information or clarification.

Dear Mark,
As I read over your letter to us more carefully after our meethlg ][
noticed one error which I have highlighted for you in paragraph three.
We were not aware of the article which appeared in the Westonka
Historical Society newsletter until ~ the trees had been felled and
the excavation had taken place. ! personally was told about this article
on or about February 18, 1995. It was on Sunday, February 19, 1995
that Mr. Albrecht of the local historical society contacted me personally
with their concerns. I didn't actually get a copy of the newsletter Unt/1
sometime during the last week of February.
I just wanted to set the record Straight on this matter. Thank you

As discussed with yourself, Jim Jones (R, ff~C) and Assistant Pastor John Rogers, thc conspicuous
earthen structure flanked by the wings of the present church building has been detgtmined t9 be a
~rchistoric American Indian burial mou~id. This structure, with a base measuring approximately 80
feet in diameter and a height of approximately 8 feet, is the largest of a four mound group known
as ¢ook'sMoun~ (21-~B-0062). The locations of thc three remaining mounds has bccn obscured
by past constru~on and landscaping. It is ~sstble and, l~rhaps, likely that these mounds have been
destroyed by these activities; howler, it i~ also po,~ble that ~ub-~rface components o/thest three

RE: 21-HE-62 (Cook's Mound) St, John's Church
Dear Pastor Gustavson,
~ am writing you as well as the members of your concjregation. The recommendations from the
Minnesota Indian Affairs Council, on the treatment of the last remaining Cook's Mound. They
[ire as follows.
1. The removal of all the vegetation that was cut down (brush, trees, and the stumps
that are already above ground surface). Only the material that is laying on the grouncl surface
is to be removed, no roots that are exposed are to be uprooted and cut off.
2. After the vegetation has been clearecl I suggest that a load of black dirt be brought in
at the base of the mouncl. And buy using wheelbarrows haul soil back to the top of the mound
~nd using shovels ancl rakes spread the black dirt over the area where the trench was dug,
build it up if needed, Afterwards level off the soil so that there Is no high or Iow spots Iocatecl
On the top. In other words it should look nice after ever7 thing is completed
3. After 1 and 2 are completed, you can then go ahead and spread out grass seed over
[he areas that have new top soil. All acttvlt¥ will be conducted by Human Resource Power

As to the mound's long-term maintenance considerations, I would recommend installing ·
~oating spilt rail fence around the outside perimeter of the mound along the edge the paved
~ad,
At this point i would like to let the vegetation grow back on its own, thus no cuffing of the grass
Nil be permitted. However towards the later part of the summer, I would come out to see how
the vegetation is coming along and at that time. If there are any recommendations or concerns
frOm you or members of the congregation I would be open to listing to them.
At ttlis time ! woulcl like to thank ;you and the meml3ers of St. John's Chum..h for being patient
ind very cooperative, I hope 'that others would be this cooperative. This Is just one example
t~y people working together, by' understanding both sidles of the Issues. Ti'tat problems are
resolved, thus making things a lot easier in the long run. If there are any questions about

CASE 96-01: ST. JOHN'S LUTHERAN CHURCH, 2451 FAIRVIEW LANE, TRACTS i~-G, RLS
739, PID 24-117-24 12 0014. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT & VARIANCE FOR ADDITION
(CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING)
Mark Koegler, City Planner, noted that this issue was tabled by the Planning Commission on
January 8, 1996. The church is proposing to expand their present facility by adding additional
sanctuary space and classrooms and reconfiguring the church entrance and the vehicular
access the serves the entrance. The plans also call for construction of a new parking lot
adjacent to the corner of Bartlett Blvd. and Fairview Lane. This lot will accommodate 38
spaces. Koegler reviewed the following issues:
1. Conditional Use Permit requirements.
Variances: a) Recognition of an existing nonconforming setback to an Indian Mound.
The existing church is located 20 feet from the mound, a 50 foot setback is required.
b) A 10 foot building height variances is also requested. The existing roof has a height
of 45 feet to the required 35 feet.

Planning Commission Minutes February 12, 1996
Shoreland Standards. The proposal is in compliance with the impervious cover
restrictions at approximately 35% within the shoreland area.
The lower parking lot has been re-designed to an "L" shape resulting in the loss of 1 2
trees, versus 1 9 with the original plan. The additional trees that have been preserved
by the plan change are those located just west of the curb line off Fairview Lane which
help separate the parking lot from the adjacent neighborhood.
Parking and Circulation. based on the new plan, our ordinance requires 147 parking
spaces. The total proposed parking of 188 spaces exceeds the minimum ordinance
requirement. St. John's will need to install concrete curb and gutter in the new lower
level parking lot as well as in the existing parking lot near the building entrance.
Landscaping. Additional trees in two of the new island areas would help soften the
paved surface area.
7. Lighting. More information is needed.
Holding Pond. Koegler reviewed the depth variations of the pond which depends on
the amount of rain.
Phasing of Development. Depending on bids received for the cost of the project, the
parking lot may be a phase one or phase two improvement.
Staff recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of a conditional use
permit and building height and Indian mound setback variances for St. John's Lutheran Church
to construct the proposed building addition and parking lot improvements subject to the
following conditions:
The church shall submit a plan for all proposed lighting including cut sheets on the
types of proposed fixtures and a lumen plan which shows the light levels cast by the
identified fixtures. Said lighting plan shall be submitted and approved by City Staff
prior to the issuance of a building permit.
o
Two additional deciduous trees shall be added in the newly created parking lot islands
in the parking lot near the primary church entrance.
Signs shall be installed along the drop off area abutting Fairview Lane which shall
identify the area as a "no parking" zone.
City approval of the conditional use permit is conditioned upon approval of the drainage
plan by the Watershed District.
Planning Commission Minutes
February 12, 1996
o
Structural data on all retaining walls exceeding 4 feet in height shall be supplied.
Additionally, the surface treatment of the retaining walls shall be identified and
gubmitted to gtaff for am roval Drior to buildinQ I ermit i uance.
A street excavation permit will be required for the watermain and storm sewer
connections and the construction of new driveway entrances.
The proposed storm sewer connection at Bartlett Blvd. should be moved approximately
35 feet to the southwest. A detail of the proposed structure shall be submitted to the
City Engineer for review and approval prior to the issuance of a building permit.
The project shall comply with all applicable local, regional, state and federal
requirements.
Construction of the lower parking lot is hereby approved. If the lower parking lot is not
completed concurrent with the building improvements, it can be constructed at a later
date in full compliance with this approval providing that the plan for the lot remain
unchanged. Construction of the parking lot, regardless of time frame, shall comply
with all local, regional, state and federal rules in effect at the time.
10.
Concrete curb and gutter shall be installed in the lower parking lot area, in the new
entrance drive and in modified areas of the existing parking lot consistent with Sheet
C1, Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Plan dated February 6, 1996.
In reference to//9, Weiland questioned, if the parking lot does not get done and they change
the plans, would they have to come back to the Planning Commission for review? Koegler
answered that they may have to if the changes are significant, or if the City's ordinances
change.
Chair Michael opened the public hearing. There being no comments, Chair Michael closed the
public hearing.
Mueller asked if the DNR was specifically notified that a setback variance to the Indian mound
was part of this request. He is concerned because the DNR has not submitted a response to
this application.
Koegler commented that the Indian mound portion may not even be in the 1000 foot shoreland
district, however, he has no problem notifying the DNR. Mueller emphasized that it would be
a good gesture on Mound's part to let them know that we recognize the cemetery.
Voss feels the DNR is already fully aware of the Indian mound issue on this property, and does
not feel it needs to be a part of their recommendation.
Planning Commission /~inu=es
February 12, 1996
Muellerexpressed a concern aboutthe trees which were removed that delineated the lndian
mound.
Dale Wenkus confirmed that the State Archeologist and the Indian Council are okay with the
status of the mound.
Motion by Weiland to recommend approval of the conditional use permit, as
recommended by staff, with the condition that the City specifically notify the
DNR about the variance relating to the Indian Mound. Motion seconded by
Clapsaddle. Motion carried unanimously.
This case will be heard by the City Council on February 27, 1996.

PLANNING REPORT
TO: Mound Planning Commission and Staff
FROM: Mark Koegler, City Planner
DATE: February 7, 1996
SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit and Variance Request
APPLICANT: St. John's Lutheran Church
CASE NUMBER: 96-01
HKG FILE NUMBER: 95-5p
LOCATION: 2451 Fairview Lane
EXISTING ZONING: Single-family Residential (R- 1)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Residential
BACKGROUND: This case was fa'st reviewed by the Planning Commission on January 8, 1996.
Because all of the plans were not complete at- that time, the request received a preliminary review
with the commissioner's having the opportunity to identify issues affecting the project. Having
finalized their site and grading plan submittals, this case is before the Planning Commission again for
final review and recommendation to the City Council.
COMMENT: St. John's Lutheran Church is proposing to expand their present facility at 2451
Fairview Lane by adding additional sanctuary space and classrooms and reconfiguring the church
entrance and the vehicular access that serves the entrance. The plans also call for construction of a
new parking lot adjacent to the corner of Bartlett Boulevard and Fairview Lane. The lot which will
accommodate a total of 38 parking spaces will be used during Sunday worship services as well as
during evening activities that occur in the new classroom addition. The total cost of the proposed
improvements is estimated at $1.2 million. The proposed improvements require conditional use
permit approval by the City of Mound and the issuance of variances due to the proximity of the
existing church to an existing Indian mound and due to the height of the building.

At the Planning Commission meeting in January, a number of issues pertaining to this case were
identified and preliminarily discussed. The following is a more detailed overview the issues applicable
to this case:
Conditional Use Permit - Section 350:640 of the Mound Zoning Code lists churches as
conditional uses in the R-1 residential zone. Accordingly, the church expansion can be allowed
through the issuance of a conditional use permit after a finding by the Planning Commission and
City Council that the proposal is in conformance with Section 350:525 which includes criteria
for the issuance of such permits.
Variances - Mound's Zoning Code requires a 50 foot setback between structures and Indian
mounds which are considered "unplatted cemeteries". The church property contains an Indian
mound in the west central portion of the site. The existing church lies approximately 20 feet
from the base of the Indian mound resulting in a required 30 foot variance to recognize the
existing nonconforming setback. The proposed project will not result in the modification or
expansion of the portion of the building that lies adjacent to the Indian mound.
Structures within the R-1 area are limited to a maximum height of 35 feet. The roof line of the
sanctuary expansion is proposed to match the roof line of the existing sanctuary area. The
existing roof has a height of 45 feet. Therefore, approval of the expansion plan for the
sanctuary will require the issuance of a 10 foot building height variance.
o
Shoreland Standards - Mound's shoreland area which is comprised of all land within 1000 feet
of the ordinary high water level of any designated lake includes the lower one third of the St.
John's site. Within shoreland areas in the residential zones, properties are limited to a maximum
of 30% impervious cover unless the property is a lot of record in which case the maximum
amount of hardcover is capped at 40%. The 40% impervious cover standard also requires
employment of common water quality improvement techniques such as grass filter strips,
ponding, etc.
The church property is classified as a lot of record since it has not been altered since the
adoption of the current zoning code. Therefore, impervious cover is limited to 40% within the
shoreland area and impervious cover outside of the shoreland area has no limitation under the
Code. The church submitted calculations that show the proposed plan having a total hardcover
of 55%. According to calculations completed by staff, the proposed hardcover is approximately
35% within the shoreland area. The drainage plan includes a retention pond to collect runoff
from the lower parking lot and the surrounding area. Therefore, the proposal is in compliance
with the impervious cover restrictions contained in the Shoreland section of the Zoning Code
and no variance is necessary.
St. John's Lutheran Church Planning Report
February 7, 1996
Page 3
Tree Preservation Policy - Section 350:725 of the Mound Zoning Code contains a tree
preservation policy. Essentially, it states that sites are to, "retain, as far as practicable,
substantial tree cover." It further states that "structures shall be located in a manner that the
maximum number of trees shall be preserved." The version of the site plan that was reviewed
by the Planning Commission on January 8th called for the removal of 19 trees (>12") due to the
construction of the lower parking lot. Based on suggestions offered by the Planning
Commission, the lower parking lot has been re-designed into an "L" configuration resulting in
the loss of 12 trees. The additional trees that have been preserved by the plan change are those
located just west of the curb line of Fairview Lane which help separate the parking lot from the
adjacent neighborhood.
Parking and Circulation - Mound's parking standards for churches requires one parking space
per 3 seats. Based on a new seating capacity of 441, the ordinance requires a total of 147
parking spaces. The proposed plan identifies 38 spaces in the lower lot, 38 spaces in the
parking lot near the primary church entrance and an additional 112 spaces in the lot that will
be constructed on school district property this Spring. Therefore, the total parking supplied
( 188 spaces) exceeds the minimum ordinance requirement.
The initial version of the site plan contained a limited number of parking spaces that backed
directly into Fairview Lane. The revised site plan has removed these spaces and calls for a drop
off area in the same location.
The Mound Zoning Code requires concrete curb and gutter for all non-single family parking
areas. In similar cases, the City has required concrete curb in all newly constructed parking lots
and in areas where existing parking lots have been modified. Therefore, St. John's will need
to install concrete curb and gutter in the new lower level parking lot as well as in the existing
parking lot near the building entrance where modifications of the current parking layout occur.
o
Landscaping - The most recent site plan shows a minimal amount of landscaping near the new
church entrance. Because of the amount of existing tree cover that will be retained adjacent to
the lower parking lot, staff does not see the need for additional landscaping. In the upper
parking lot area near the entrance, however, additional trees in two of the new island areas
would help soften the paved surface area.
o
Lighting - The revised site plan identifies the locations of light fixtures in the parking lot area
but does not provide any specific information on the types of proposed fixtures or their lighting
pattern. Submittal of this information will be necessary to assess the impact of proposed
lighting on the adjacent residential properties.
Holding Pond - At the Planning Commission meeting on January 8th, a number of questions
were raised about the holding pond and the depth of water within the pond. The pond is
St. John's Lutheran Church Planning Report
February 7, 1996
Page 4
designed as a wet pond with a normal water depth of one foot. During a 10 year rainstorm, the
maximum depth of the pond will be 3.2 feet. After the first hour, the water level will drop one
foot, during the second hour, the water level will drop an additional foot and the level of the
pond should return to the one foot depth within approximately 12 hours. During a 100 year
storm, the maximum depth of the pond will be 4.4 feet and after 2 hours, it will drop to 1.7 feet.
As in the case of the 10 year storm, the water level will return to the normal one foot of depth
in approximately 12 hours. The proposed pond is designed in a typical manner with 3:1 side
slopes. The vast majority of ponds constructed in this manner are not enclosed by any type of
fencing.
10.
Phasing of Development - The church has stated that it intends to build the lower level parking
lot concurrent with the building expansion providing that bids for the total project are favorable.
If it is determined that the parking lot needs to be constructed at a later date, it is viewed as a
second phase of the overall project. Therefore, they are seeking approval of the parking lot
either as a phase one or phase two improvement.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of
a conditional use permit and building height and Indian mound setback variances for St. John's
Lutheran Church to construct the proposed building addition and parking lot improvements subject
to the following conditions:
The church shall submit a plan for all proposed lighting including cut sheets on the types of
proposed fixtures and a lumen plan which shows the light levels cast by the identified fixtures.
Said lighting plan shall be submitted and approved by City Staff prior to the issuance of a
building permit.
Two additional deciduous trees shall be added in the newly created parking lot islands in the
parking lot near the primary church entrance.
Signs shall be installed along the drop off area abutting Fairview Lane which shall identify the
area as a "no parking" zone.
City approval of the conditional use permit is conditioned upon approval of the drainage plan
by the Watershed District.
o
Structural data on all retaining walls exceeding 4 feet in height shall be supplied. Additionally,
the surface treatment of the retaining walls shall be identified and submitted to staff for approval
prior to building permit issuance.
A street excavation permit will be required for the watermain and storm sewer connections and
the construction of new driveway entrances.
St. John's Lutheran Church Planning Report

The proposed storm sewer connection at Bartlett Boulevard should be moved approximately
35 feet to the southwest. A detail of the proposed structure shall be submitted to the City
Engineer for review and approval prior to the issuance of a building permit.
8. The project shall comply with all applicable local, regional, state and federal requirements.
o
Construction of the lower parking lot is hereby approved. If the lower parking lot is not
completed concurrent with the building improvements, it can be constructed at a later date in
full compliance with this approval providing that the plan for the lot remains unchanged.
Construction of the parking lot, regardless of time frame, shall comply with all local, regional,
state and federal rules in effect at the time.
10.
Concrete curb and gutter shall be installed in the lower parking lot area, in the new entrance
drive and in modified areas of the existing parking lot consistent with Sheet C1, Grading,

GRADING - The applicant's engineer has submitted subject plans to the Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District. Any City approval should be subject to approval by the MCWD. The
site plan references a concrete block retaining wall off the southwest coruer of the
proposed addition. It appears the wall is over 4 feet high, which will require that
structural data be furnished to the City. The plans do not indicate what, if any, surface
treatment will be included. We would recommend that samples of the wall treatment be
submitted to the City's planning staff for their approval.
UTILITIES - A street excavation permit will be required for the watermaln and storm
sewer connections and also construction of the new driveways. The proposed storm
sewer connection at Bartlett Boulevard should be moved approximately 35 feet to the
southwest to provide for a better angle entering the existing system. A detail of the
proposed structure will also need to be furnished.

MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE
MOUND ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION
JANUARY 8, 1996
CASE 96-01: ST. JOHN'S LUTHERAN CHURCH, 2451 FAIRVIEW LANE, TRACTS l-G, RLS
739, PID 24-117-24 12 0014. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT & VARIANCE FOR ADDITION
City Planner, Mark Koegler, reviewed the staff report. St. John's Lutheran Church is
proposing a building and parking lot expansion project which requires approval of a conditional
use permit and variance. The grading and drainage plans for the project are still being
finalized, and in order for the project to receive approval by the end of February, the Planner
felt is was appropriate to bring the proposal to the Planning Commission for an initial
preliminary review to hear any comments or concerns.
The City Planner then asked the applicants to present their proposal. Dale Wenkus, architect
for John Kramer and Sons and retained by St. Johns Church reviewed the plans with the
Commission.
The proposed expansion will increase the Sunday school classroom and sanctuary area. The
total expansion will be 4,500 square feet. The existing building will also be remodeled. The
seating in the sanctuary will be increased by about 75 seats. Total seating, including the
balcony, will be approximately 480. The classroom area will remain as is. A sprinkler system
will be installed in the entire building.
The proposed lower parking lot expansion will provide approximately 48 stalls. Grading and
drainage will also be reviewed by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and DNR. The DNR
has requested a copy of the grading and drainage plan that is pending.
Koegler noted that the 1,000 foot Shoreland District runs through the middle of this property,
and there are no hardcover restrictions outside the Shoreland District, however, more of this
site is in the Shoreland District than not (65/35). Koegler noted that they may have to also
recognize a setback variance to the Indian mound.
Planning Commission Minutes January 8, 1996
Mueller questioned if staff will be reviewing the tree preservation policy and how it relates to
this expansion. Koegler confirmed that it will be addressed in the next staff report. Mueller
also confirmed that the Planning Commission will receive drawings showing grading and
drainage for their review at the next meeting.
Mueller questioned Dale Wenkus about the lower level parking lot and noted that this area has
been wet and has been a drainage area and questioned if soil corrections will be needed.
Wenkus noted that yes they have had soil borings done and they will make any corrections
or modifications needed. Wenkus further reviewed the plans for the lower parking lot and
stated that the lot will be brought at or below the existing street elevation with a holding pond
at the south end with a catch basin, and they may be tying into the storm drain on Fairview.
The driveway into the lot will be raised and a ramp or sloped sidewalk will provide access up
to building. He explained that they are planning a 1 6 to 1 floor to floor elevation to eliminate
steps, and there will be a handicap entrance to the lower level. Wenkus confirmed that the
main entrance for the church will be on the north side. The materials of the retaining walls
will be of reinforced concrete with decorative rock facing.
Voss asked if the installation of a holding pond creates a liability issue because it is man-made,
and in a residential area. Wenkus stated that they also had the same concern, and explained
that the holding pond to be constructed at the upper parking lot was approved by the
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District to have a water depth of 1 foot. They hope to get
approval to build the same type of pond at the lower parking lot. He explained how the pond
works and that it will regulate a maximum one foot depth, except during heavy rains, when
the depth can increase to 3 or 4 feet.
Concern was expressed if this project must be completed within one year. Koegler noted that
they have approved phasing plans before, and that language can be put in the resolution.
Koegler's only concern is if there are rule changes under a larger regional district before the
project is completed. Koegler suggested that a condition could be placed within the resolution
stating that if there are any rule changes before the project is completed, they would have to
conform to the new rules.
Surko questioned how long it will take for the water in the holding pond to disperse down to
the 1 foot elevation after a rainfall. Wenkus offered to research the question and have
information available at the next meeting.
Surko questioned if optional plans were reviewed which could be more sensitive to hardcover.
Mr. Wenkus noted that other configurations were looked at, however, this one fit the site
better. The church also felt this proposal was more sympathetic to the residential area, and
they wanted to maintain the sanctuary roof line which gives the the building recognition as
a church. Koegler commented that a height variance may still be involved.
Voss questioned about extra lighting in the residential area. Wenkus confirmed that extra
lighting is proposed around the lower parking lot.
Planning Commission Minutes
January 8, 1996
Chair Michael opened the public hearing. Koegler suggested that the public hearing be
continued.
Mueller expressed a concern about the removal of trees, and noted that the adjacent school
property is devoid of trees and the trees on the church property help buffer the residential
properties to the school property. Mueller suggested that the parking lot configuration be
changed or a variance to the number of parking spaces be granted in order to preserve green
space and trees. Mueller noted that there is a commercial parking lot off of Maywood that is
available for overflow parking on Sundays, if needed.
Koegler noted that the number of required parking spaces for this site will need to be
reviewed. Wenkus confirmed that the number of parking spaces being proposed is more than
what the code requires. Wenkus stated that the lower parking lot is needed to service the
youth and family center which will be located in the new addition, and it would be convenient
to have parking spaces available on that side of the building. Rev. Gustavson confirmed that
this portion of the building may be used during evening hours and the rest of the church may
be locked or inaccessible when this part is being used.
Existing hardcover was addressed. Wenkus confirmed that the existing drive and parking
around the back side of the Indian mound will remain. It was noted that the day care will be
moved into the new wing and they would like to retain the paved area in the rear for a play
area. It was suggested that some of the pavement in the rear could be removed. Wenkus
noted that this could be addressed.
Wenkus offered to provide a tree plan at the next meeting showing the location of existing
trees, and he thinks they can retain trees on the southwest side of the lot.
MOTION made by Weiland, seconded by Voss, to continue the public hearing
until a complete application is submitted. Motion carried unanimously.
Koegler noted that they will need to coordinate with the City Engineer to determine how much
review time will be needed.
There was concern expressed about the neighbors being informed.

9. Comments: St. John's has complied with all zoning regulations
pertaining to set backs and parking. The current hardcover presently
exceeds the allowable hardcover, however we feel with proper storm
water retention on the lower South portion of the lot we will be able to
slow water at a rate acceptable to standard engineering practices. There-
fore, hardcover will not effect the neighborhood or the community.

SUBJECT: 1996 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM
The City of Mound has been notified by Hennepin County that it will receive $66,877 in CDBG
funding for 1996. Upon notice by Hennepin County, I notified the existing participants and
indicated to them that their requests should be submitted, keeping in mind that no more than
20 % of the total allocation can be used for public service type programming. The amount that
we are receiving from Urban Hennepin County CDBG funding represents a 7.4% reduction from
1995 levels. The requests for funding came above the 20% regulation and I have reviewed the
previous years allocation and have divided up the funds as follows:
Westonka Senior Center Operations

Rehabilitation of Private Property
$ 8,025
$ 2,809
$ 1,739

Total $66,877
Attached you will find information from each of the organizations regarding their requests. I
am sure there will be representatives from these organizations on Tuesday evening. Also
enclosed is a resolution approving the projected use of funds as I have recommended above. If
you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

RECEIVED. § I99§
February 8, 1996
Dear Mr. Shukle:
This letter is to request funding in the amount of $2,500 from the city's Community
Development Block Grant program. This funding will be used to support HOME Line, the
housing services of Community Action for Suburban Hennepin (CASH).
I am enclosing materials that describe all of our programs and, for our tenant hotline and
foreclosure prevention programs, data showing use of these programs by residents of Mound. As
you can see, we are mostly serving Iow and moderate income people in your community.
This year, we will be giving special attention to our educational program for high school
students. We believe that giving information on the basics of being a renter to young people
about to graduate will help them to avoid some of the problems we encounter time and again on
our renters hotline.
In addition, we plan to expand our homeownership programs by adding services to existing
homeowners, particularly those of lower incomes, to help them maintain their property and
stretch their budgets. These will include information, technical assistance, and instruction on
home maintenance and repair. And, we will assist homeowners to get repairs done: developing
specifications, selecting contractors, assuring quality work. A loan fund to help homeowners
finance small repair jobs will be established in conjunction with these repair services.
We appreciate your generosity to us in the past two years and your willingness to consider our
request for continued support. If you have questions or need additional information, please feel
free to contact Charlie Warner, our Housing Programs Director, at 933-9639, extension 221.
Sincerely,
Executive Director

HOME Line Program Description
(January 1996)
Introduction
HOME Line is the name given to CASH's set of housing services that operate in suburban Hennepin
County. These services include tenant advocacy (started in January 1992), tenant organizing (May
1992), mortgage foreclosure prevention counselling (August 1992), legal defense for families facing
eviction (September 1993), and home buyer education and counseling (August 1994).
CASH, standing for Community Action for Suburban Hennepin, is the "anti-poverty agency" serving Iow
income people throughout Minneapolis' suburbs. It is a private nonprofit corporation with tax-exempt
status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. CASH is funded primarily with federal
and state grants passed to us through the Minnesota Department of Economic Security (DES). Additional
funding is provided by Hennepin County, the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA), the
Corporation for National and Community Service, the Fannie Mae Foundation, and several suburban
Hennepin municipalities.
HOME Line's office in downtown Hopkins is staffed by CASH employees, one VISTA (Volunteers in
Service to America) and volunteers from area law schools and our suburban community. CASH/HOME
Line employees include the coordinator of the tenant advocacy program, an attorney tenant advocate, two
tenant organizers, a homeownership program manager, two foreclosure prevention counselors, a home
buyer counselor, and an overall housing programs director. CASH also contracts with an attorney in
private practice to provide eviction defense to families with children.
Volunteers serve primarily as advocates working on our tenant hotline and as members of our
foreclosure prevention program's loan committee. Because volunteers are a critical element in HOME
Line's success, we place strong emphasis on their recruitment, training, and recognition.
Programs for Renters
Tenant Advocacy
The advocacy service assists individual tenants and is provided primarily over the phone (the
"hotline"), although tenants do occasionally drop in to the office. Individual advocacy includes
identifying the tenant's problem, providing accurate and timely information on relevant tenant/
landlord rights and responsibilities, helping the tenant understand options they might use to remedy
their problem, and, often, mailing out printed materials provided to us by Legal Aid. As advocates gain
experience and expertise, there may be opportunities to assist individual tenants prepare for court
and, in some cases, represent them in court.

CASH/I-IOMF. Line Program Description
Page 2.
More complex cases are handled by our in-house attorney or are referred to Legal Aid or to volunteer
( pro bono) lawyers through the Hennepin County Bar Association's Volunteer Lawyers Network.
Frequently, advocates will assist by referring tenants to other services and programs to help with
problems that may be outside the sphere of tenant/landlord issues. Where advocates discover problems
affecting many or all tenants in a complex, they may refer the case to HOME Line's tenant organizers.
Tenant Organizing
Where circumstances warrant and general problems exist, HOME Line's tenant organizers will work
with groups of tenants to address problems collectively. Collective tenant action has been used in
situations involving poor maintenance and repair throughout a complex, abusive behavior against
tenants by management or maintenance personnel, and violation of regulations governing various
housing assistance programs. Occasionally, especially in cases involving government-assisted housing,
HOME Line will get help for the tenant group from Legal Aid.
The organizing project publishes and distributes a quarterly newsletter to tenants, social service
agencies, and public officials throughout suburban Hennepin County. We are also actively assisting in
the formation of a state-wide tenants group, the Minnesota Tenants Network. The Network is primarily
focused on improving tenant/landlord law through legislative work and in assisting local tenant
organizing efforts statewide.
Family Homelessness Prevention
Under this program, funded by Hennepin County, we contract with an attorney in private practice to
provide legal advice, help with negotiations, and, when necessary, with free courtroom representation
to prevent homelessness in Hennepin County. For income-eligible families with children who are
facing eviction from their homes, there is an emergency loan fund available. Loan funds are available
to CASH through the Department of Economic Security. This program operates primarily in the
Brookdale division of Hennepin County District Court. Most assisted families live in Brooklyn Park,
Brooklyn Center, New Hope, Robbins-dale, Plymouth, and Crystal.
Programs for Homeowners
Home Buyer Education and Counseling (Pre-purchase counseling)
Our newest program, started in August 1994, is designed to expand homeownership opportunities in
suburban Hennepin County, particularly for lower income and minority households. This is
accomplished through educational seminars on the home buying process that are open to the public and
individualized counseling to lower income buyers who may need help overcoming barriers to
homeownership. These barriers might include no credit history--or a bad one, lack of enough money
for the downpayment and closing costs, or poor budgeting of personal income. We offer buyers
information on the housing market, mortgage programs and other ways to finance the purchase, public
and private homeownership programs, how to shop for and inspect a home, how to deal with a broker
and a lender, in short, about every detail of the home buying process. For income-eligible buyers, we
also have limited financial assistance to help pay for a qualified inspection of the home and to ease the
downpayment burden. The program works closely with area Realtors, lenders, and local governments
to assure home buyers get accurate and current information.
CASH/HOME Line Program Description Page 3.
Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention (Post-purchase counseling)
We assist lower income homeowners who are facing foreclosure and the possible loss of their homes due
to circumstances beyond their control. Often this is caused by a family break-up (divorce,
abandonment, or death of a spouse) or the loss of a job due to economic dislocation. Intensive individual
financial counselling with the homeowner and prompt, knowledgeable negotiations with the lender can
sometimes save the situation. The foreclosure prevention staff assist homeowners gain access to public
and private financial resources to help solve a delinquency.
Where appropriate, a last resort loan will be made to the homeowner to bring the loan current. The
loan is non-interest bearing and comes due on sale of the property or when it is no longer owner-
occupied. The program's Emergency Loan Fund is capitalized with funds from CASH; additional loan
funds are available to the program through the MHFA's Foreclosure Prevention and Rental Assistance
Program (FPRAP) .
HOME Line's mortgage foreclosure prevention staff have been instrumental in initiating and building
the Minnesota Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention Association (MMFPA). MMFPA is a statewide
organization of professionals in the for profit and nonprofit sectors working to improve the quality of
service to homeowners facing foreclosure. The Association has developed an intensive seven-day
training program for counsellors that is offered twice yearly. MMFPA also sponsors occasional shorter
educational sessions on specific topics of current interest in the field.
Volunteer Involvement
Volunteers are a mainstay of much of HOME Line's work. Our tenant hotline is staffed in large part by
volunteers recruited from area law schools and the suburban community. The tenant organizing
program works with groups of volunteer tenants seeking to improve their collective situation. The
Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention program utilizes a five-person Loan Committee composed of
volunteers from the CASH board and from the community. Law students also volunteer with HOME
Line's Family Homelessness Prevention and Assistance program. These law student volunteers, some of
whom are provided to the project through the Minnesota Justice Foundation, interview clients, prepare
trial documents, and represent eviction defendants in court under the supervision of HOME Line's
contract attorney. Altogether, over 3,000 hours of volunteer time are donated to HOME Line each year.

HOME Line's Homebuyer Education and Counseling Program
HOMELine's Homebuyer Education and Counseling program expands
homeownership opportunities for Iow and moderate income residents of
suburban Hennepin County through educational workshops and individual
counseling. By collaborating with the lending community and government
agencies, HOME Line is able to help develop special financing products which
enable these residents to turn their dreams of homeownership into reality.
The three-part educational workshops provide information on money
management and budgeting for mortgage payments, housing care and
maintenance, financing the property, overcoming credit problems, and other
issues relating to homeownership. The curriculum is approved by MHFA and all
major lenders involved in providing affordable home financing programs.
Since January of 1995, over two hundred people have attended the three-part
workshops or received individual counseling from the HUD-approved housing
counselors at HOME Line. The workshops are held monthly at Community
Centers on weekday evenings and Saturday mornings. Hopkins, Bloomington,
Crystal, St. Louis Park, Minnetonka and Brooklyn Center have donated space for
the workshops.
Following the group workshop, we recommend and provide additional private
individual counseling sessions. During the individual counseling session, the
counselor interviews the client to obtain basic information about the household
and to determine the family's housing needs and goals, and identifies any
barriers to homeownership. A realistic plan is developed to enable clients to
meet their housing goals. Ongoing assistance and encouragement is provided
by the counselor.
Financial and budget counseling has been provided for 120 families to prepare
them for homeownership, and more importantly, so that they can remain
successful homeowners.
Because of HOME Line's sponsorship, 35 households were able to purchase
their homes with special financing programs for Iow to moderate income buyers.

Your willingness to fund Westonka Senior Center to the fullest
extent possible under the current guidelines would be a real show
of support for this program which has been of such great value to
the senlor ctUzens In Mound.

RE: BLOCK GRANT FUNrDYNG
AMOUNT: $6,000.00
Recent changes in state statutes on domestic assault and abuse necessitates your police
department to develop a policy that will: 1) meet state law; 2) provide for uniform handling and
reporting of domestic abuse and assault cases, which should include a copy of all such cases be
faxed to Westonka Intervention; 3) dispose of cases in a way that will keep them from
reoccurring; 4) provide a body of language that can be modified to meet specific changes in
existing laws. As the !aw states, each city must align itself with a project for handling domestic
assault and abuse cases within their city. Research has demonstrated that arrest and incarceration
coupled wkh intervention was the most effective way of dealing with domestic abuse and assault
cases. As in the past, Westonka InterYention will continue to assist your police department by
providing the vehicle in which to handle those domestic abuse and assault cases.
Although 565 clients have been served though Westonka Intervention, it must be remembered
when reviewing these statistics that ongoing support is a very necessary part of the program and
advocates may work with victims for several months. At present Westonka Intervention has over
500 files, a large percentage of which remain open and active. With this support, our clients are
changing their situation and are living healthier lives.
Working with locai police departments, Westor&a Intervention Project, Inc. serves the
communities of Mound, Minnetrista, St. Bonifacius, Orono, Long Lake, Minnetonka Beach,
Spring Park. This co,mmunkv based non-profit organization has been in e,,dstence since
November of 1985 and consists of a board of thirteen members and seventeen volunteers.
In 1995 :he amoum of cases handled by Westonka Intervention have increased over 33%. Due to
the aiarrpJng increase of domestics in our service area, it is very important that you seriously
consider our request for CDBG Block Grant of $6,000.00 so that Westonka Intervention Project
can continue to serve your community.

Mound Police Department responded to 122 domestic reports in our communitv. In 57 of those
calls there was an assault that had taken place. The advocates of Westonka Intervention are a
valuable asset in the service provided to the victims and the families of domestic abuse. Your
advocates offer a smMce that allows police officers to provide immediate care and to know that
additional help will be provided to aid the victims.
Thank you for your on-going support for domestic abuse ~,ictims in our communi~'.

SUBJECT:
1996 URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY CDBG PROGRAM
It is time again to consider uses for 1996 Urban Hennepin County Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds. The total allocation for 1996 for the City of
Mound is $66,877. This represents a 7.4% reduction from 1995 levels.
As you recall from the 1995 CDBG Program year, the Department of Housing and
Urban Development through Hennepin County required the City of Mound to modify
its original allocation due to the public service funding requirement. As you recall, we
had to reduce funds above 20% of the total allocation to each of the public service
providers. The purpose of my memorandum to you is to indicate that this 20%
requirement is still in place and that your requests for funding during 1996 do not
exceed 20% of the total allocation ($66,877).
The City of Mound has scheduled a public hearing for Tuesday, February 27, 1996 at
7:30 pm, at Mound City Hall. If you are interested in applying for 1996 CDBG Funds,
please submit a request to me no later than February 12, 1996. This will allow me
to get the proper hearing notice in the legal newspaper. If you have any questions
with regard to the 1996 CDBG Program, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Your premiums for the entire 1996 insurance program will be almost $18,000 less than last year. This is due
primarily to two items:
WORKERS' COMPENSATION: The large rate reduction is due to the 1995 Workers' Compensation
Legislation. Implementation of a Managed Care Program would result in an additional 10% savings, pro-
rated for the remainder of the policy period.
II. MUNICIPAL LIABILITY: This premium is 20% less, due to the LMCIT's 9% rate reduction, lower
estimated City expenditures, and an improved claims experience rating.
Other items affecting your renewal are as follows:
I. AUTO LIABILITY AND PHYSICAL DAMAGE
A. This renewal is based on 52 vehicles, versus 45 units last year.
B. LMCIT Physical Damage rates were increased 36%.
C. Replacement Cost coverage is now available on other highly valued vehicles besides the Fire
Department units.
II. BOILER & MACHINERY: The LMCIT is offering a new program for this coverage with a $5,000,000
limit, at a much lower premium than your current policy.
III. MOBILE & MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT: Individual Equipment items that are worth less than $5,000
will now be covered automatically. Items that were formerly covered under the Automobile
Miscellaneous & Detachable Equipment portion of the policy now have to be scheduled if their value is
over $5,000, such as a Fire Department Hurst "Jaws of Life" tool.
The attached ,insurance proposal' outlines the coverages and premiums in greater detail. Large deductible
coverage options are also included for your consideration.
I am looking forward to providing insurance services for your City for the next year. Please let me know if you
have any questions or concerns regarding this proposal.

P&Z CASE #96-03
WHEREAS, the owner, David S. Holm, has applied for a lake side setback
variance of 32 feet to allow the construction of a new dwelling with a § foot wide
deck on the lake side to be setback 18 feet from the ordinary high water, and;
WHEREAS, the subject property is located within the R-lA Single Family
Residential Zoning District which according to City Code requires a lot area of 6,000
square feet, a 20 foot front yard setback, 6 foot side yard setbacks, and a 50 foot
setback to the ordinary high water, and;
WHEREAS, this same variance was approved unanimously by the Planning
Commission and City Council in 1990 by Resolution #90-62, hoWever, it has since
expired, and;
WHEREAS, previous approval was given due to the shape and depth of the lot
and the fact that the proposal is generally consistent with the neighboring properties,
and;
WHEREAS, impervious surface coverage is limited to 30%, or 40% with an
approved drainage plan, and
WHEREAS, since the crawl space will not be a usable area and the first floor
will be insulated, only the first floor of the dwelling, not the crawl space, must be set
at or above the elevation of 933, and;
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the request and
recommended approval with a vote of 7 to 1.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Mound,
Minnesota, as follows:
The City does hereby grant a 32 foot lake side setback variance to allow
construction of a single family dwelling with a 5 foot wide deck on the lake side
with the deck setback 18 feet from the ordinary high water, as shown on the
revised survey dated January 17, 1996, contingent upon the following:
ao

removal of the existing structure.
Proposed Resolution
Holm
An updated survey shall be provided that accurately details the proposed
conditions and a 32 foot setback to the deck.
A detailed drainage plan identifying existing and proposed impervious
surface coverage must be developed and submitted to staff for approval.
The City Council authorizes the alterations set forth below, pursuant to Section
350:420, Subdivision 8 of the Zoning Ordinance with the clear and express
understanding that the use remains as a lawful, nonconforming use, subject to
all of the provisions and restrictions of Section 350:420.
It is determined that the livability of the residential property will be improved by
the authorization of the following alteration to a nonconforming use of the
property to afford the owners reasonable use of their land:
Construction of single family dwelling.
This variance is granted for the following legally described property:
This variance shall be recorded with the County Recorder or the Registrar of
Titles in Hennepin County pursuant to Minnesota State Statute, Section
462.36, Subdivision (1). This shall be considered a restriction on how this
property may be used.
The property owner shall have the responsibility of filing this resolution with
Hennepin County and paying all costs for such recording. A building permit for
the subject construction shall not be issued until proof of recording has been
filed with the City Clerk.

David Holm Variance Application, Lake Minnetonka Cook's Bay
(27-133P-3), City of Mound, Hennepin County
Dear Mr. Sutherland:
We have reviewed the above-referenced variance request (received
January 31, 1996) for 4321 Wilshire Boulevard and we recommend
denial of the request for a 32 foot variance (i.e., meeting an 18
foot setback) from the required 50 foot setback from the ordinary
high water (OHW) level. While we agree that a variance would be
required for reasonable use of the lot, the proposed 32 foot
variance is excessive. Please consider the following:
The proposed house should approach no closer to the OHW than
the average distance from the OHW of the houses on the
neighboring lots, i.e., a 26 foot setback (based on an average
of 21 feet and 31 feet).
There are alternatives available to building the house within
18 feet of Lake Minnetonka (a 32 foot variance). It appears
to be possible to reduce the amount of variance that would be
needed for the structure by either moving the house closer to
Wilshire Boulevard, by removing the stoop and moving the main
portion of the house closer to Wilshire Boulevard, or by
constructing a smaller structure that would still provide a
reasonable use of the property.
The house that currently exists on Mr. Holm's lot is a
nonconforming structure that does not meet the required
setback from Lake Minnetonka. Approval of the proposed
variance would ~crease the nonconformity on the lot.
e
The ~i~must demonstrate hardship to justify receiving
a variance. The approval of a variance due to hardship should
be based on the following prerequisites:
A. The proposed use is reasonable.
It would be unreasonable to require conformance with the
ordinance. Practical difficulties may arise due to
"functional and aesthetic concerns". Economic
considerations alone do not constitute practical
difficulty.
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
Mr. Jon Sutherland
City of Mound
February 12, 1996

Ce
The difficulty of conforming to the ordinance is due to
circumstances unique to the property, such as peculiar
topography. If the problem is common to a number of
homes in the area, it is not considered unique. It
appears that the size of Mr. Holm's lot is typical of
this area. Thus, the problem is not unique to his
property.
The problem must not be created by the landowner. It
appears that the variance is proposed because the
structure that Mr. Holm wants to build is too large for
the lot.
Eo
The variance, if granted, must not alter the essential
character of the locality.
In accordance with the city ordinance, the Department should be
advised of the action taken on this request within 10 days of final
action.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this variance.
you have any questions please contact me at 772-7910.

MOUND ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION
FEBRUARY 12, 1996
CASE 96-03: DAVID S. HOLM, 4321 WILSHIRE BLVD., PART OF LOT 1, FIRST REARR. OF
PHELPS ISLAND PARK 1ST DIVISION, PID 19-117-23 13 0003. VARIANCE FOR NEW
DWELLING
Building Official, Jon Sutherland, reviewed the staff report. The applicant is seeking to renew
a variance that has expired. The original variance granted in 1990 by Resolution #90-62 was
approved unanimously by the Planning Commission and the City Council. This approval was
given after some compromise and resulted in a 32 foot setback variance to the OHW.
Approval was given due to the shape and depth of the Lot and the fact that the proposal is
generally consistent with the neighboring properties.
When reviewing the application again, and applying our current ordinance to this case, the
following issues are raised:
Impervious surface coverage is limited to 30%, or 40% with an approved drainage
plan. The amount of impervious surface coverage needs to be further clarified. A
more detailed drainage plan identifying existing and proposed impervious surface must
be developed and submitted to staff for approval (preferably prior to the planning
commission meeting).
In order to provide accurate information for the variance and building permit, the survey
should be drawn to reflect the approval of the 32 foot setback.
Sutherland noted that since the crawl space will not be a usable area and the first floor will
be insulated, only the first floor of the dwelling, not the crawl space, must be set at or above
the elevation of 933.
Staff recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of the variance for a 32
foot lake side setback (measured to the deck), to allow construction of a new single family
dwelling, as shown on the revised survey dated January 17, 1996, contingent upon the
following:
Prior to building permit issuance, the applicant shall post a bond or letter of credit in
an amount acceptable to the Building Official to guarantee removal of the existing
structure.
An updated survey shall be provided that accurately details the proposed conditions
and a 32 foot setback to the deck.
A detailed drainage plan identifying existing and proposed impervious surface coverage
must be developed and submitted to staff for approval.
Mueller questioned if the top of the footing can be below the floodplain. Sutherland answered
yes. Mueller questioned if a variance will be required for filling in the floodplain. Sutherland
explained that there will be no filling below the elevation of 931.5, and if there was, he would
refer the applicant to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District for a permit. Sutherland noted
that the City's floodplain elevation is 931. This proposal shows no impact below the 931.5.
MOTION by Clapsaddle, seconded by Weiland, to recommend approval of the
variance, as recommended by staff. Motion carried 6 to 1. Those in favor
were: Clapsaddle, Hanus, Weiland, Michael, Voss and Glister. Mueller was
opposed.
Mueller stated that he is opposed due to lack of clarification about having footings within the
floodplain.

BACKGROUND: The applicant is seeking to renew a variance that has expired. The original

Commission and the City Council. This approval was given after some compromise and
resulted in a 32 foot setback variance to the OHW. Approval was given due to the shape

COMMENT: When reviewing the application again, and applying our current ordinance to

Impervious surface coverage is limited to 30%, or 40% with an approved drainage
plan. The amount of impervious surface coverage needs to be further clarified. A
more detailed drainage plan identifying existing and proposed impervious surface must
be developed and submitted to staff for approval (preferably prior to the planning
commission meeting).
The lowest floor including the crawl space must be set at or above the elevation of
933. There is conflicting information on the survey and cross section of the building
plan that must be clarified and revised to be consistent and in conformance with the
minimum floor elevation.

PLANNING REPORT
TO: Planning Commission and Staff
FROM: Mark Koegler, City Planner
DATE: April 30, 1990
SUBJECT: Lakeshore Setback Variance
APPLICANT: David Holm
CASE NUMBER: 90-917
VHS FILE NUMBER: 90-310-A15-ZO
LOCATION: 4321 Wilshire Boulevard
EXISTING ZONING: Single-Family Residential (R-2)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Residential
BACKGROUND: The applicant is proposing to remove an existing home
and construct a new residence at 4321 Wilshire Boulevard. The
existing home is located where the attached garage portion of the
new structure will be constructed. The existing home will be
occupied while the new structure is being built. After the
existing home is demolished, the attached garage will be added to
the new home.
The site plan submitted by the applicant identifies a deck setback
of 7.5 feet and a structural setback of 18 feet from the ordinary
high water elevation of Lake Minnetonka. Lakeshore setbacks for
the adjoining properties are 21 feet and 31 feet. After initially
reviewing this request, my reaction was that the proposed structure
encroached excessively on the ordinary high water elevation. The
proposed encroachment is inconsistent With the adjacent properties
which currently vary from the minimum zoning standards by 29 and
19 feet respectively.
In discussing this situation with Mr. Holm, he indicated that he
is considering a plan which reduces the depth of the house by 2
feet and adds only a 3 foot deck on the rear of the home. This
situation results in a lakeshore setback of approximately 18.5 feet
(about at the rear wall line of the house as shown on the survey
dated April 12, 1990). This setback is more consistent with the
neighboring properties.

Holm Planning Report
April 30, 1990
Page 3
COMMENT: The depth of this parcel makes construction of a new home
difficult without the issuance of a variance. In variance
situations, the ordinance seeks the minimum variation from
established setbacks to allow the applicant reasonable use of the
properS. Since the house observes all required front and side
setbacks, the revised footprint of the house is more representative
of a minimum variance situation. The applicant indicated that a
revised copy of the survey will be available for the meeting on M~
7, 1990.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of a 22 foot lakeshore
setback variance to allow construction of a new residence at 4321
Wilshire Boulevard contingent upon the following condition:
At the time of building permit issuance, the applicant
shall post a bond or letter of credit in an amount
acceptable to the Building Official to guarantee removal
of the existing structure.

PROPOSED RESOLUTION #96- '~'
RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A VARIANCE FOR
FILLING WITHIN A BLUFF IMPACT ZONE
AT 5095 WINDSOR ROAD,
LOTS 1, 2, 24, 25, & 26, BLOCK 17, WHIPPLE
PID #25-117-24 12 0206
P&Z CASE #96-05
WHEREAS, the owner, Alice Rogers, and the applicant, Teal Pointe
Development Co., have applied for a variance and grading permit to allow the
placement of 540 cubic yards of fill on a portion of Lots I and 2, Block 17, owned by
Alice and Glen Rogers and also the westerly one-half of Cobden Lane, and;
WHEREAS, due to the existing slope on this property, this area is considered
to be a bluff impact zone, and;
WHEREAS, the Shoreland Management Ordinance (SMO) requires a variance
for this grading due to the restriction of placing fill in a bluff impact zone, as per
Section 350:1225, Subd. 4.B.4. h. of the Mound Zoning Ordinance, which states, "Fill
or excavated material must not be placed in bluff impact zones with the exception of
repairs due to erosion or other natural occurrences." and;
WHEREAS, the placement of fill will eliminate the need for a retaining wall that
would have been approximately 10 feet high at its highest point. It will also eliminate
the need for a guardrail and fence, which in a residential area is not the most
desirable. The elimination of these structures also relieves the City of any future
maintenance. The placement of fill in the Cobden Lane right-of-way also makes this
area more accessible to pedestrians than it would have been with a retaining wall,
and;
WHEREAS, approval of this variance and grading permit does not necessarily
allow subject lots to be built on without additional permits and/or variances, and;
WHEREAS, the subject property is located within the R-lA Single Family
Residential Zoning District, and;
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the request and
unanimously recommended approval.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Mound,
Minnesota, as follows:
The City does hereby grant a variance and grading permit to allow the
placement of 540 cubic yards of fill within a bluff impact zone at Lots 1 & 2,
Block 17, Whipple, subject to the condition that an erosion control plan be
submitted for review and approval by the City Engineer prior to permit issuance.

CASE 96-05: TEAL POINTE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, 5095 WINDSOR ROAD, LOTS 1,2,
24, 25, & 26, BLOCK 17, WHIPPLE, PID 25-117-24 12 0206. VARIANCE FOR GRADINC,
WITHIN A BLUFF
City Planner, Mark Koegler, reviewed the Engineering Report. Teal Pointe Development
Company is requested a grading permit to place fill on a portion of Lots 1 and 2, Block 17,
owned by Alice and Glen Rogers and also the westerly one-half of Cobden Lane. This grading
would eliminate the need for a retaining wall as approved in the final plat for Teal Pointe. The
City's Shoreland Management Ordinance (SMO) requires a variance for this grading due to the
restriction of placing fill in a bluff impact zone, as per Section 350:1225, Subd. 4.B.4.h. of
the Mound Zoning Ordinance.
The original plat approval in 1994 allowed for this fill in lieu of a retaining wall. When the plat
was re-approved in January 1995, the fill option was not included because the parties could
not come to a mutual agreement. The grading permit application shows the amount of fill at
230 cubic yards. We have calculated this number to be 540 cubic yards and recommend
using the larger volume when considering the variance application.
The placement of fill will eliminate a retaining wall that would be approximately 10 feet high
at its highest point. It will also eliminate the need for a guardrail and fence, which in a
residential area is not the most desirable. The elimination of these structures also relieves the
City of any future maintenance. The placement of fill in the Cobden Lane right-of-way also
makes this area more accessible to pedestrians than it would have been with a retaining wall.
All the parties involved should be aware that approval of this variance and grading permit does
not necessarily allow subject lots to be built on without additional permits and/or variances.
We have preferred the use of fill over the retaining wall from the very beginning of this project
and are therefore recommending approval of the variance request and grading permit.
Clapsaddle questioned if there will be an erosion control plan? Koegler noted that this is
usually required, and it could be made part of the recommendation.
Hanus questioned what the variance is for. Koegler noted that any filling within a shoreland
area, in excess of 50 cubic yards, requires a variance. Hanus expressed a concern about how
this will impact the trees. Koegler noted that 4 to 5 tress will have to be removed as part of
the plan.
Clapsaddle and Mueller both commented that they were originally in favor of grading/filling this
area, versus the retaining wall.
Motion made by Clapsaddle, second Mueller to recommend approval of the
grading permit, as recommended by staff, with the condition that all required
measures be taken with regards to erosion as to not affect adjoining properties.
Motion carried unanimously.

BACKGROUND
The applicant, Teal Pointe Development Company, is the developer constructing Teal Pointe.
They are requesting a grading permit to place fill on a portion of Lots 1 and 2, Block 17, owned
by Alice and Glen Rogers and also the westerly one-half of Cobden Lane right-of-way. This
additional grading would eliminate the need for a retaining wall as approved in the final plat for
Teal Pointe. With the adoption of the City's Shoreland Management Ordinance, the grading
permit requires a variance due to the restriction of placing fill in a bluff impact zone, as per
Section 350:1225, Subd. 4,B4h of the Mound Zoning Ordinance.
The original plat approval in 1994 allowed for this fill in lieu of a retaining wall. When the plat
was reapproved in January of 1995, the fill option was not included because the parties could not
come to a mutual agreement. The grading permit application shows the amount of fill at 230 cubic
yards. We have calculated this number to be 540 cubic yards and recommend using the larger
volume when considering the variance application.

highest point. It will also eliminate the need for a guardrail and fence, which in a residential area is
not the most desirable. The elimination of these structures also relieves the City of any future
maintenance. The placement of fill in the Cobden Lane right-of-way also makes this area more

1995 ANNUAL REPORT
MOUND LIQUOR STORE
Joel Krumm, Manager
1995 was an uneventful year. Nothing of great importance or significance occurred
that would warrant any special mention in this report. There were the usual mundane
happenings that seem to be a part of any business. We had part-time employees
come and go, new products arrive and old merchandise closed out, some new faces
appear on our clientele and some old faces leave due to relocation, abstinence and
even death. We have reached the limit as far as what we can do to attract more
business in our existing confines. Over the last couple of years we have been very
fortunate to maintain a level just above inflationary figures. Thus, I would characterize
1995 as an "Inflationary Year". We had $42,000 more in sales than the previous year
which equates to a three percent growth.
There was one particular bright spot which should be noted that materialized in 1995.
As you know last year marked the first "full" year in which we accepted credit cards.
It was my initial intent to do $25,000 in sales in order to break even. Much to my
delight and surprise, we far exceeded my expectations. For the year, credit card
usage was $68,700. It is difficult to determine but perhaps if we had not offered this
service to our customers, sales could have fallen below the 3% increase. I do believe
that the credit card system has benefitted us in one very important way. Last year
our uncollectible bad checks totalled only $116. In 1994, that number was $371.
Since people can now use their credit cards like they would their checking accounts,
our credit card machine will tell us at the immediate point of sale whether or not the
funds are available. It is not uncommon for us to run a sale through the system and
then receive a decline notice. When this happens, nine out of ten times the customer
will produce another acceptable card or cash. Therefore, we do not lose a sale nor
do we get hit later with a dishonored check.

Liquor Store Annual Report

Since 1995 was rather boring and since I know you do not want to be bothered with
meaningless tripe, I thought I would pass along to you that which I find very
interesting. All of you may not know this but I have been managing the Liquor Store
since June of 1984. I had Gino Businaro assist me in searching the financial archives
relating to 1983, the year prior to my arrival. 1983 read like this: Sales -
$695,000; Customers - 90,000; Operating Income ~ $28,000. Since then in 1995
sales have doubled to $1,409,000 and customers have increased to 113,000 and
most importantly - operating income has risen more than five fold to $147,000.
By presenting this information it is not my intent to brag. I am merely pointing out
where we once were and where we have come to be. It has been an enjoyable road.
Sometimes things came natural and easy. At other times it was a struggle and a lot
of hard work to complete the long haul. Crucial questions remain. Are we content
with where we are at? If not, where do we go from here?
Attached to my report is the data which you are probably most interested in. Gino
prepares this for me every year at this time so that I can provide for you an idea as to
how the previous year went. This has always been an accurate analysis, but we both
want to remind you that it is preliminary and will not be official until the auditor's are
through with it.
Thank you.

MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL AND CITY MANAGER
I have enclosed the 1995 Annual Report of the Finance Department.
The purpose of the report is to point out the financial condition
of the City of Mound to the City Council, which sets the policies
that direct the future of the City. The financial recaps included
in this report provide you with a preliminary summary of the City
of Mound's financial position for 1995.
The year 1995 was a productive one in the Finance Department. I
would like to thank the staff of the department for their hard work
during this challenging year. I look forward to a productive year
in 1996.
Respectfully,
Gino Businaro
Finance Director

The finance staff should be commended for the teamwork and
cooperation they have demonstrated in 1995.
JOYCE NELSON
Joyce handles the water and sewer billing process. We have
approximately 3,260 residential accounts that are billed quarterly
on a cyclical basis (the City is divided into three billing
districts). In addition, there are approximately 125 commercial
accounts that receive a bill every month. With this many customers
to serve Joyce is kept quite busy.
At the same time Joyce coordinates the various recycling programs.
As an example of participation, for the month of October, out of
16,485 households, 7,850 had their recyclable set out. That is a
48% participation. The total materials collected for the year was
1,117 tons.
Joyce also continues to assist Greg Skinner in public works with
some of the paperwork and computer data entry as time allows.
DELORIS SCHWALBE
Deloris does the special assessment searches of properties as
requested by realtors, title companies or residents when a house in
Mound is purchased.
Deloris receipts any prepayments of special assessments and she
notifies the County of the prepayment. During 1995 we collected
$11,987 on prepayments for various special assessment levies. This
money is invested to pay off the special assessment bonds when they
become due.
Deloris also is the administrator of the Metro HRA Section 8 Rent
Assistance Program for Mound, as well as for Minnetrista, St.
Bonifacius and Spring Park. Currently, there are 36 families in
our area receiving Section 8 assistance. The City receives
reimbursements monthly on a per residence basis.
Deloris took over accounts payable duties in August 1991. She codes
and enters into the computer all the invoices and pays city vendors
for purchases of goods or services. In 1995 3,006 checks were
issued for a total of $5,735,143.
Deloris assists the utility billing clerk and the Building
Department in their absence.
GAYLE BURNS
Gayle took over payroll duties in August 1991. She maintains and
processes payroll every two weeks. All time sheets must be reviewed
and entered into the computer, checks generated and reports
printed. In 1995 1,353 payroll checks were issued to employees and
364 checks were issued for other payroll related purposes. Gayle
also works in the following areas:
Data entry for the computerized financial system and monthly
reports' distribution to departments
Computer back up's and year end closing of Finance and payroll
applications
Miscellaneous receipts and receivables
Employees benefit enrollment, changes to benefits and related
requirements
Miscellaneous billing and reports to other agencies
Reports for the Liquor Store: monthly sales tax reports, NSF
checks
Preparation of monthly, quarterly, and yearly reports to
various federal and state agencies
Bank reconciliation
Issuance of merchant and dog licenses
Depot Rental:
The Depot rental income over the last five years was as follows:
1991 1992 1993 1994 1995
$1,400 $1,875 $1, soo $2,100 $2,450
INVESTMENTS
Cash management and investment of City funds are
an important
aspect of my job. The first objective in investing City funds is
safety, legal constraints, and liquidity. Taking safety and
liquidity into account, I look for the best market rate of return,
normally within a 3-6 month range. I continue to follow a policy
of investing only with broker/dealers in this state. The following
is a breakdown of investments as of December 31, 1995:
Commercial Paper
Government Trust Pool
Money Market
2,622,164
2,778,937
390,460
TOTAL
$ 5,791,561
3
A comparison of interest earned for the City on all funds is as
follows:
1991 531,073
1992 336,766
1993 335,667
1994 318,235
1995 249,700
Interest income in 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995 is down from prior
years. This is due primarily to the decrease of cash balances
available for investment and the interest fluctuation in the
financial markets.
Ail interest income is accumulated in the Investment Trust Account
and distributed to the funds in proportion to the average balance
during the year. For example, during 1995, the General Fund was
allocated $26,802 in interest (10.73% of all interest earned) while
the Capital Improvements Fund was allocated $49,516 in interest
(19.83% of total interest).
BUDGET
Preparing the data for the annual budget document that is submitted
to the Council is another important function of my job. During
June, I estimate the revenues for the current year and also work on
an estimate of the expenditures for the current year. I work
closely with the city manager in budgeting revenue amounts for the
following year. The Finance Department budget is my
responsibility, along with the City Property, the Special Revenue
Funds and the debt service requirements. Once the city manager
reviews the expenditure budgets with each of the department heads,
the budget is compiled, analyzed and adjustments are made. The
document is then prepared and presented to the Council for
approval. The Water and Sewer Funds are examined during the budget
process. The projected revenues and expenses are used to determine
the adequacy of the rates. The Enterprise Funds (Liquor, Water,
Sewer, and Recycling) are presented to the Council along with the
General Fund for Council approval.

OUTSTANDING DEBT
The total outstanding debt as of 12-31-95 is $4,270,000 and
$1,335,000 in refunding bonds. The following details the
outstanding debt:
COMMERCE PLACE DEBT SERVICE BONDS
This fund accounts for principal and interest payments on the bonds
sold in 1985. The bonds will be paid for from the tax increment
from the Commerce Place Development. The increment from the
development is sufficient to make the principal and interest
payments. With the developers' letter of credit and the Mound
Clinic and Thrifty White as corner stores, Commerce Place is
meeting all of its financial obligations. The City made principal
payments of $115,000 during 1995, and has an outstanding balance of
$1,505,000 at December 31, 1995. In 1993 TIF Refunding Bonds in
the amount of $795,000 were issued and are outstanding as of
December 31, 1995.
SPECIAL ASSESSMENT BONDS
Special Assessment Funds are used to account for the construction
and financing of certain public improvements such as streets,
sidewalks, street lighting and storm sewers. Bonds are issued and
are paid for in full or in part from the special assessments levied
against benefited properties. No new bonds were issued during
1995. The City made principal payments of $360,000 during 1995,
and has an outstanding balance of special assessments bonds payable
of $830,000 at December 31, 1995.
WATER/SEWER REVENUE BONDS
The principal and interest on water revenue bonds are paid out of
the revenue generated from the water and sewer bills. The City
made principal payments of $55,000 during 1995, and has an
outstanding balance of $1,395,000 at December 31, 1995.
In 1993 bonds were issued in the amount of $1,350,000 with $607,500
allocated to the Water Fund and $742,500 to the Sewer Fund.
PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY DEBT SERVICE
This fund accounts for the principal and interest on bonds issued
in 1988. The principal revenue source is a property tax levy. The
City made principal payments of $45,000 during 1995 and has an
outstanding balance of $540,000 at December 31, 1995. In 1993
Building Refunding Bonds in the amount of $540,000 were issued and
are outstanding as of December 31, 1995.
The following shows the total outstanding debt for the City of
Mound over the past 10 years:

Using the 1990 census population of 9,634, the total debt per
capita decreased from $1,147 in 1986 to $443 in 1995.
This decrease in total outstanding debt illustrates the fact that
Mound is a mature suburb and has not had to issue debt to develop
new streets and new watermains.
SPECIAL ASSESSMENT LEVIES
The general property tax levy is discussed every year during the
budget process. The other significant item on the tax statement
for Mound residents are the various special assessment levies. The
following is the annual special assessments levied on Mound
taxpayers during the past ten years and for 1996:
1986
1987
1988
1989

544 000
513 000
482 500
413 177
330 903
213 644
The major street projects were completed in 1978-1980. The total
assessments on the taxpayers increased dramatically once these
projects were assessed. Since 1982, the annual assessments have
consistently declined.
The corresponding Special Assessment bonds payable has decreased
from $8,450,000 in 1986 to $830,000 in 1995.
6
AUDIT
Preparing for the annual audit is another important responsibility
of my job. I prepare all the statements, schedules and notes to
the financial statements for the annual audit. Our audit costs are
reduced since all the statements and notes are done in house.
The 1994 audit report received the National GFOA award "Certificate
of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting" The
certificate program judges an audit report on various criteria,
including clarity, comparability and completeness. This is the
seventh consecutive year the City of Mound has received this award.
I plan on updating the audit report annually and submit future
years' reports for this award.
INSURANCE
We have the majority of our insurance coverage with the League of
Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust. They have provided the City with
good coverage and the costs for insurance have stabilized in the
last few years. Our agent of record is Carl Bennetsen of R.L.
Youngdahl & Associates, Inc.
I have the responsibility of coordinating the City's insurance
activity. I file all claims that are made against our insurance
policies for the City automobiles, property damage, general
liability, and workers compensation.
COMPUTER OPERATIONS
It is my job to supervise the overall computer operation. We have
an on-site mini-computer processor with software purchased from
Computoservice, Inc. The following software programs are currently
operating on our system: utility billing, financial, accounts
payable, payroll, special assessments and water meter reading. The
finance staff does an excellent job working on the computer
operations.
The finance department has available two personal computers. The
use of the PC enables me to work efficiently with many
spreadsheets for cash flow analysis, investment need projections,
fixed assets inventory, budget projections and various other
applications. At the same time both Gayle and Joyce have the
opportunity to use the PC and maintain various files in the payroll
area and the utility services area. City employees have a strong
interest in learning to work with PCs which help them to become
more efficient with their tasks. The commitment to technology is
spreading from business to schools, to government.

FUND STRUCTURE
The following is a description of the funds of the City of Mound:
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund accounts for the Revenues and Expenditures to
carry out the basic governmental activities of the City, such as
administration, police, inspections, streets and parks. General
Fund expenditures are made primarily for current day to day
operating expenses. Major sources of revenue are the property tax
and local government aid.
FUND BALANCE
The total fund balance of the General Fund is projected to be
$895,206 for the year ended 1995. The balance increased $51,645
during the year. It is important for the City to maintain the
current fund balance. This reserve is necessary to meet expenses
in the General Fund until tax money and local government aid are
remitted to the City in June/July. For cash flow purposes the city
would be required to issue tax anticipation bonds if the fund
balance is reduced or eliminated.
The following table shows previous year end General Fund balances,
compared to adopted expenditures budget for the past ten years:

TOTAL 2,408,340 2,432,218 23,878 100.99
The increase in licenses and permits of $30,989 is attributable to
the increase in number of construction permits issued in 1995. The
decrease in taxes of $35,949 are due to normal current delinquent
taxes not being offset by collections of prior years' delinquent
taxes.

The Capital Improvements Fund is an important one-time revenue
source for the City of Mound. It allows the City to undertake
projects that benefit the City without having to issue debt to
finance them. The remaining balance of $1,009,273 was obtained
with equity transfers from debt service funds that were used to
account for bonds that have been recalled or expired. A portion of
this balance is reserved for writedown of investments to the lower
of cost or market as determined by the independent auditor.
MUNICIPAL CONSTRUCTION FUND
The fund was used for department capital outlay purchases.
resources available in this fund have been used up.

SEALCOAT
This fund is used to account for the five-year rotation to sealcoat
the streets in Mound. The total cost of the project for 1995 was
$54,006, which was financed by the Liquor Store profits.
ENTERPRISE FUNDS
Enterprise Funds are used to account for the financing of services
to the general public in which all or most of the revenues are
generated from user charges.
LIQUOR FUND
The year 1995 was again an excellent one for the Liquor Store. A

The cash balance in the Sewer Fund stands at $555,197 at the end of
1995. Both revenues and expenses were higher. A major concern is
the charge of $567,612 from the Metropolitan Council Wastewater
Services (MCWS,) which is an increase of $75,216 from 1994. We pay
the MCWS based upon an estimated flow. The actual flow is
determined following the end of the year, with the adjustment on
MCWS billings the subsequent year.

grant from the County in 1996 will be $30,720 and the City
household charge $57,600. That represents a considerable shift from
the County to the City.
ORGANIZATIONS
I am a member of the Minnesota Government Finance Officers
Association (MGFOA). There are currently 550/600 members. Monthly
meetings are held in the metro area, with an annual conference held
in the fall of the year.
As a member of the Minnesota Society of CPA's, one of the
requirements of keeping current my CPA certificate is that I
maintain a continuing education program each year. Continuing
education and training is a high priority in my professional
development. I obtain the vast majority of my education credits
through MGFOA.
As an ex-officio member of the Economic Development Commission I
attend all their meetings.
I am also Treasurer of the Mound Crime Prevention Association.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR 1995
Specific accomplishments are as follows:
Issuance of the 1994 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
The report received an unqualified opinion from the
independent auditor and the Certificate of Excellence in
Financial Reporting from the GFOA.
Fixed Assets computerization
With the purchase and installation of a new PC, the whole
fixed assets inventory was entered into the computer and kept
up to date, as recommended by the independent auditor.
Insurance Claims Activity
In 1995 we had again an exceptional number of claims in the
general liability, auto, and workers compensation areas. We
also reviewed extensively the present insurance coverage.
Pre-Tax Plans
The City employees were offered a Pre-Tax Plan in May of 1993.
The plan was set up, maintained and extended into 1995. Almost
all employees joined the plan, which benefits both the
employees and the City in reducing Social Security, Federal
and State tax payments.
Water Meter Readinq System
Joyce and I worked closely with Greg Skinner and John Cameron
during the installation of the new water meter system. We
anticipated problems with the computerized part of the project. By
the end of the year the system worked as expected. Now we are able
to transfer utility billing data from our main computer to a hand
held device in less than an hour. Once the meter readings are
captured with the hand held device in the field, the data is
transferred back into the main computer in about half an hour.
GOALS FOR 1996
Work in the Finance Department will continue at a steady pace in
1996. The normal cycle calls for the staff to meet their deadlines
in the payroll, accounts payable, and utility billing areas. The
Finance Director will continue to cover the investments, the audit,
the insurance claims, the preparation of reports, and all the other
responsibilities in the financial, insurance, data processing, and
supervision areas.
CONCLUSION
Thank you for having given me the opportunity to point out the
areas of special note in the operation of the Finance Department.
The year 1995 was a productive one for the City in the financial
area. The direction provided by you, the City Council and the City
Manager, made it happen.
I will be attending the February 27th Council meeting to answer any
questions that you have regarding my annual report.

Dear Mr. Shukle:
Contained within the following pages is the annual report for the police department. The
report addresses the buclget, personnel, training, equipment, community education,
statistics, and emergency preparedness.
This year has seen a lot of changes in the department. Former Police Officer Gary Lotton
was convicted for crimes arising out of his arrest in March of 1994 while serving at the
Southwest Metro Drug Task Force. Sgt. Bill Hudson retired after 27 years with the City
of Mound. The department was awarded a COPS FAST grant and hired Matthew Sibley in
July. In December, the department was awarded a COPS MORE grant and we will be
hiring an additional secretary to do clerical duties in order to free up officer time and do
administrative details now done by the sergeants
The department continued its relationship with the Southwest Metro Drug Task Force and
Sergeant Grand was selected to become the coordinator for 1996 and 1997. A sergeants'
exam was administered in the fhll of 1995 and Officer Todd Truax scored number one and
will be assuming the duties as of January, 1996. We continue to present the D.A.R.E.
Program in the elementary schools and Grandview Middle School; with excellent
community support. The budget expenditures were $17,210.00 under projections as of
today.
Part I and Part II offenses accounted for 1,067 calls for service, down 9% over 1995. Total
contacts were down by 9%.
The department continues to emphasize dedication to thc community through the highest
standards of service and through quality training for its employees. The department
continues the "Citizen Comment Card" feedback survey. The cards are randomly sent to
our service "customers". The department initiated a new "Citizens Academy" to encourage
interaction with police officers and to foster better understanding for the role of police in
the community.
Sincerely,
Len Harrcll

The mission of the Mound Police Department is to provide protection and
service to the people of Mound. Many of the activities of the police
department are described and summarized in this report for 1995.
MOUND POLICE MISSION STATEMENT:
The Mound Police Department, through teamwork and cooperation,
will be responsive to our citizens' needs with a professional level of
dedicated service. Officers will display the highest integrity, and
regard each citizen with a focused and unbiased attitude. Our citizens
will determine our success.
Much of how a police department is evaluated is based on statistics, as
found in this report. Information for these statistics comes from internal
record-keeping and also from participation in the Minnesota Criminal
Justice System (CJIS).
In analyzing the crime statistics, several factors need to be considered:
2.
3.
4.
5.
Population density
Proximity to metropolitan area
Population composition
Population stability
Number, sophistication, and development of police
personnel
The only area the police department has control in is the fifth category. The
police department is consistently looking at ways to better utilize and train
personnel to provide better service.
This report is provided to highlight the most important area of police
department activity and to be used as a gauge for evaluating service. The
report includes some comparisons to past years and provides a tool for
planning and activities in the years to come.

II. BUDGET ADMINISTRATION
The 1995 police budget will close out under ($17,210.00) projections. The
final expenditures for the police department will amount to approximately
$816,140.00. The percentage of expenditures breaks out as follows:
Personnel $682,897.00 83.7%
Insurance 37,156.00 4.5%
Training/Travel/Ph.D. 16,482.00 2. %
( includes P.O.S.T.)
Fuel / Repairs 23,380.00 2.9%
All Other 56,225.00 6.9%
TOTAL 816,140.00 100.00%
Fund 30 (vehicles, laptops, $47,815.00
video, alco-sensor, radar, chair)
Insurance costs were up in 1995 after two years of declining costs.
Personnel costs were up over last year with the addition of the COPSFAST
grant officer. Sgt. Hudson was out on medical leave through May and then
retired. Despite these personnel issues, we were able to manage the over-
time budget very well and saved $2,633.00. Our training expenses were up
due in large part to my Ph.D.program The capitol outlay expenses were
again paid through Fund 30.
The police department generated revenues of $70,562.00 from court fines
and violations. Animal licenses and pick-ups accounted for $2,510.00 of
revenue. Accident reports generated $1,448.00.
Minnesota Police Pension and P.O.S.T. Board reimbursements totaled
$57,099.00 and $3,895.00 respectively. The COPSFAST program
reimbursed the department $11,250.00 for an officer during the months of
July through December. We also received $9,542.00 from the school's
crime levy for the D.A.R.E. Program.
Revenues totaled $156, 306.00 for 1995.

In 1995, the police department added an officer through the COPS FAST
grant which will fund $75,000.00 over the next three years. The additional
position is to help augment our community policing initiative. Sgt. Hudson
was out on medical leave until May and he retired in July. Community
Service Officer (C.S.O.) Paschke was hired to fill a vacancy and joins
C.S.O. Rick Maki.
The department continued with regular evaluations of the police
employees. In general, the officers have been doing a fine job in serving the
community. There was some disciplinary action with individual officers and
their conduct is being monitored. There were two internal investigations
initiated in 1995 and disciplinary action was taken regarding one of the
complaints.
Citizen Comment Cards
In February of 1992, the department initiated a feedback system to solicit
input from our citizens on how the police department is serving the
community. The cards are randomly sent to citizens who have had a" call
for service" contact. The rating system is on a four point basis; poor = 0
and excellent = 4. The department average for our overall service is rated
at 3.68 based on over 100 responses. The rate of return is about
20%. The Mound Crime Prevention Association continues to pay for the
mailings.
Psychological re-evaluations were again given to two officers in 1995. The
process, psychological testing for each officer every five years, continues.
The department has maintained its involvement in the Southwest Metro
Drug Task Force during 1995. I served as Chair for the Board of
Directors for 1995. The communities involved in the task force are
Chanhassen, Carver County, South Lake Minnetonka, St.
Boni/Minnetrista, Scott County, Shakopee, Chaska, and McLeod County.
See section X for the annual report of the Southwest Metro Drug Task
Force.
Officer Huggett continues to work with "Rambo". "Rambo" earned a P.D.
I certification through the United States Police Canine Association in 1995.
"Rambo" continues to suffer from some joint problems and also required
surgery in December for a different physical problem. There is some
concern about his health and durability in the future.

The Mound Police Reserves continue to do an excellent job for the
community and the department. Sgt. Grand continued as the liaison for the
reserves. Unit strength has dropped, but continues to fluctuate around six
to seven volunteers. The Mound Police Reserves combined to donate a
total of 2,692 hours.
Child Protection cases accounted for 33 investigations in 1995. There were
17 criminal sexual contact cases reported. Combined contacts were down
for the second year in a row. Part I offenses were down significantly and
Part II offenses were down 9%.
The investigators worked on several cases of significance during the year.
Investigator Truax was involved in several criminal sexual conduct
investigations with juvenile victims. The cases ranged from interfamilial
sexual assault, sexual favors for money and cigarettes, to the use of a stun
gun and bondage. In one case, a DNA comparison was done to match a
family member to fetal tissue of a sibling.
Inv. Truax also worked on several cases involving a youthful offender
robbing and assaulting juveniles. Another individual was charged with
stalking in an on-going case of harassment.
Inv. Denneson worked on a case that involved the beating of an 81 year old
female that required hospitalization. Investigation uncovered a long history
of abuse by a room mate. The attacker was finally charged and convicted
for abuse/neglect of a vulnerable adult. Inv. Denneson also investigated the
aggravated robbery of a local youth involving five assailants. A knife used
in the robbery was recovered in Minneapolis and the five suspects were
charged.
Mound suffered its first bank robbery in over ten years in December of
1995. Two armed robbers entered the bank and fire a round into the
ceiling. Investigators and officers continue to provide information to the
FBI and we are confident that the robbery will be solved.
There were 88 formal complaints signed in 1995 charging individuals with
a variety of crimes. Some of the most severe cases involved criminal
sexual conduct, robbery, terroistic threats, assault, child endangerment,
narcotics possession and sales, abuse of a vulnerable adult, false
imprisonment, possession of stolen property, and tax evasion. Other
complaints include DWI, no insurance,'disorderly conduct, possession of
7
marijuana and paraphernalia, minor consumption, harassing
communications, assorted driving violations, worthless checks, violation of
orders for protection, dumping, hit and run accidents, barking dog, loud
parties, discharging a weapon, and criminal damage to property; to name a
few.
We also encountered a situation in which the in-car video cameras were of
a great benefit. Squads responded to a mutual aid call at an establishment
where a woman later claimed abuse by the police. An intent to sue notice
was sent for injuries suffered. A review of the tape showed that the
woman was under the influence and had fallen as she ran towards the
officers as her boyfriend was being arrested. The suit was dropped!
Officers and staff used a total of 473 days of benefit time during 1995. The
time off included approximately 181 vacation days, 110 holidays, 83 comp
days, and 99 sick days. Sergeant Hudson accounted for the majority of the
days of sick time. Officers earned 630 hours of comp time and 654 hours
of overtime during the year.
8
The police department attempts to provide training on a continual basis to
maintain its effectiveness and efficiency. Modem law enforcement is an
ever-changing environment that requires the development of special skills
and necessitates officers keep abreast of recent changes in job relevant
statutes and procedures. High standards of excellence are accomplished by
the police department when extensive training can be offered to both
officers and staff.
Police personnel attended the equivalent of 200 days of training in 1995.
Chief Harrell attended the FBI National Academy in Quantico, VA. which
accounted for 55 days of training.

MOUND POLICE RESERVES
ANNUAL REPORT
The Mound Police Reserves donated 2,303 hours to the City of Mound in
1995. The unit continues to operate with 6 to 7 members. The drop in
membership was due, in part, to members moving out of the Mound area,
and for two, out of state.
The police reserves assisted in providing the following security services
and/or police back-up at:
Emergency call outs
Reserve squad - house checks
High school dances
Hockey and football games

The Mound Police Reserves received training in first-aid and CPR,
defensive tactics, and new officers attended the Hennepin County Reserve
Officers courses.
Finances:
The reserves continue to raise their own funds and are predominantly self-
sufficient. The Emergency Preparedness budget also contributes funds to
the maintenance of training and equipment for the police reserves.
The police reserve account has about $4,700 in balance. Again, in 1995,
the severance fund encumbrance is relatively low due to the change made
in the disbursement of those funds. The reserve officers now receive a
check in December to cover any expenses which they incur during the year.
12
Two new vehicles were purchased in 1995. The vehicles were purchased
through the county bid process and are Chevrolet Lumina police package
vehicles. We have a total of four Taurus, two Luminas, a Blazer 4-wheel, a
Pontiac, and the animal truck in normal service. In 1995, we converted a
forfeited Buick Electra for utilization as a D.A.R.E. vehicle with the
support of the Rotary Club of Mound and the Mound Crime Prevention
Assn. The vehicle is being used by our D.A.R.E. officer and has a great
impression on the kids.
We purchased an additional in-car video camera in 1995. In 1996 we will
be purchasing an additional in-car video camera system for the Buick. This
will mean that all marked squad cars will be equipped with the in-car video
cameras. The cameras have been used on numerous occasions by the
department, and the city's legal representative, to assist .in court
proceedings or to clear officers of allegations of misconduct resulting from
citizen contacts.
A new radar was purchased to replace an older model that was no longer
functioning properly.
The department also purchased two new lap-top computers for use by
officers in the squad cars in order to "free" them up from reports at the
office.
A new Preliminary Breath Testing (PBT) instruments was purchased to
replace a PBT that was no longer functioning properly.
A new chair was purchased for the office for the secretary.

VII. COMMUNITY EDUCATION / SERVICE
The department has stayed involved with the community in a variety of
activities in 1995. The following is a brief description of the activities.
Crime Prevention
Officer Christenson did an excellent job of organizing the
departments first National Night Out celebration. Officers attended
each neighborhood gathering and passed out information for the
adults and novelty items for the kids. Officer Christenson has been
conducting neighborhood meetings and developing block watches.
Presentations and security evaluations have been done for local
banks and businesses.
Citizens Academy
The police department conducted the first citizens academy in the
fall of 1995. Individuals attended classes two hours a night for ten
weeks in order to learn, first hand, the operations of the Mound
Police Department. The attendee reviews were overwhelming and
future academies are being planned.
The police reserves and CSO's provide a service of checking
periodically on out-of-town resident's homes when notification has
been provided to the police department.
Westonka Intervention Proeram
The police department continues to work closely with the
intervention program to assist families that are victims of domestic
abuse.
Department Tours
The police department has conducted a number of tours of our
facility for Cub Scouts, Brownies, and on special requests by
schools, etc.
Demonstrations / Presentations
The police department has been involved in a number of public
presentations ranging from canine demonstrations to talks about
safety with day-care students. The police department has talked to
groups concerning drugs, gun safety, vehicle safety, DWI, and
personal safety.
14
Mound City Days
The department was very involved in this year~s celebrations.
Security was provided for the parade, the "Around Mound Run",
and the fireworks.
The department provides a service of fingerprinting individuals as
may be requested. This includes both children and adults.
D.A.R.E Proeram
Drug Awareness Resistance Education has been implemented at
Shirley Hills Elementary School, Grandview Middle School, and
Our Lady of the Lake school. The 17 week program is taught to all
5th grade students and we have expanded into the 1st and 3rd
grades with a 5 week program.
Westonka Community Action Network
The department has been actively involved in assisting the task
force in defining area problems and developing a network for
assisting needy individuals. The department has been designated as
a resource for emergency "vouchers" for the County.
Homecoming Parade
The department assisted the high school with setting up a parade
route and then provided security for the parade.
Halloween Parade
Provided security for children during the parade.
Around Mound Run
Security was provided for a 5 mile run and two walking courses last
year.
Elementary school presentations for child safety.
Public Safety Days

This section of the report analyzes the statistical portion of the annual
report. Most of the statistics comes from tabulating the information from
Initial Call Reports ( ICR'S ), informational reports, and traffic citations.
The total number of ICR's in a year is useful for comparing the level of
activity of the department relative to previous years. It also allows for
comparison between personnel changes and activity levels. Some reporting
changes were made in 1986 to alleviate statistical duplication that was
found in the previous system.
TOTAL INCIDENTS PER YEAR
1987 THROUGH 1995
INCIDENTS / MONTH
1987 13,445 1,120
1988 15,582 1,298

1994 16,239 1,353
1995 14,515 1,210
1995 reflected a decrease in total contacts of 9%.
The serious incidents of crime reported to the police department are
categorized into Part I and Part II Offenses.
Part I Offenses:
Part I Offenses include major crimes such as homicide,
criminal sexual conduct, robbery, assault, burglary, larceny,
vehicle theft, and arson. Although Part I Offenses are a
small percentage of reported crimes, it is these crimes that
demand the most attention from the police department in
terms of investigation and commitment of resources.
16
-'735
Part II Offenses:
Part II Offenses include the crimes of forgery, child abuse /
neglect, vandalism, stolen property, sexual misconduct,
weapons violations, narcotics violations, liquor violations,
DWI, simple assault, domestic assault, embezzlement,
harassment, public peace, juvenile status offenses, and other
violations.
A serious concern are in the rise in violent crimes even though
overall contacts are down. We experienced significant jumps in
robbery, criminal sexual contact, aggravated assault, arson, and
domestic abuse. The clearance rate for combined Part I and Part II
Offenses was 56%. Part I Offenses were down 26% and Part II
were down 7% compared to last year. Burglaries dropped by 12%,
larcenies decreased by 28%. Criminal sexual conduct cases were
up 31% and child protection dropped by 31%. Our combined
clearance rates rose by 4%.
Part I and Part II Offenses are the incidents that necessitate the most time
and effort from the police department. Initial call time is greater in
gathering pertinent information at the scene and the greatest amount of
investigation and follow-up is dedicated to these types of crimes.
Traffic
Offenses:
Traffic Offenses include both moving and non-moving
violations. An examination of the number and percentage of
traffic stops, as part of the total number of incidents, allows
one to determine the degree to which vehicular traffic and
pedestrian movement affects the department's work load. It
should also be noted that the more visible that patrols are
maintained, the more likely is the positive impact in
deterring serious crimes.
In 1995, traffic citations accounted for 1,856 police
contacts, up 16% from 1994. Property damage and personal
injury accidents were down slightly; 8%.
There were 52 DWI arrests (down 40%) and of those,
approximately 27% were repeat offenders for gross
misdemeanor or aggravated violations. The average test was
· 156 blood alcohol content (b.a.c.). The highest reading was
a .23 b.a.c.; the legal limit is .10 b.a.c..
17
Property:
Property loses were valued at $222,456.00 in 1995, down
27%.
Child Protection:
The department investigated 45 child protection issues and
17 criminal sexual conduct case for the year. These cases
continue to be the single most time-consuming cases we
handle.
Domestic Dispute Cases:
The department responded to 122 domestic situations; 65
with assaults. The number of actual domestic assaults
increased by 62%, and the total number increased by 36%.
Arrests:
The department processed and booked 225 adults in 1995,
down slightly. There were 26 adults charged for felonies,
377 adults charged with misdemeanors, 49 juveniles taken
into custody for felonies, and 173 juveniles taken into
custody for misdemeanors.
Animal Complaints:
The department responded to 1,118 animal and inspections
complaint issues during 1995. This is down less than 26%
from the 1994 total.

IX. EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS ( CIVIL DEFENSE )
The Emergency Preparedness budget came in below budget this year.
There were no major, unexpected expenses this year.
Again, this year, hazardous materials continue to be a major concern for
Emergency Preparedness. The city receives approximately $4,000 from
FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Association) in the form of a
grant. We spent $3,356.00 for emergency preparedness in addition to
salaries that are accounted for in the police budget.
Most of the money allocated to Emergency Preparedness is used by, and
for, the reserve unit. The reserve unit uses a portion of the money for
training and uniforms. The reserves are also reimbursed for their expenses
from this fund.
In 1995, an exercise group was formed for the Lake Minnetonka area and a
large scale exercise is being planned for September of 1996. Most of the
surrounding departments, both fire and police, are involved in the planning
as well as local hospitals and Hennepin County. Mound is hosting the
planning group.

X. SOUTHWEST METRO DRUG TASK FORCE
Attached is the annual report of the drug task force in which we are
a member. We believe the task force is doing an excellent job and
deserves our continued support, the major drugs of use in our area
continues to be marijuana, cocaine, and LSD.

ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT:
Our purpose is to assist the general public, administer and enforce the provisions of
the Mound City Code, Zoning Ordinance, State Building Code, and related state statutes and
regulations. It's our duty is to serve the public by careful application and enforcement of the
regulations as adopted by the City Council, and as guided by the City Manager.
Staffing. The Department has two full time employees, myself and Peggy James, who
also works with the Parks Department. Rick Maki and Steve Paschke of the Police
Department also work part time as our Community Service Officers (CSO's).
Coordination. We send all of our permits through an interdepartmental review process
where each department has an opportunity to review and comment on the application. We
allow for a 7 to 10 day review process, however, most permit requests are processed in less
than 5 days. In addition to full time staff, the following personnel assist us:

CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY:
Construction activity is measured by total commercial/residential permit value. 764
permits were issued this year with a total value of $8,214,582. Please note Exhibits A - D
which illustrate our construction activity in more detail.
The bulk of our construction in 1995 was 34 new dwellings with a value of
$5,593,402, with the new dwellings having an average value of $164,500. The average
dwelling value in 1994 was $130,000.
Our commercial activity this year was comprises of a variety of projects and we
welcomed some new businesses to the City, a few of which are: Component Systems Inc.
remodeled and moved into the old Smith Heating building at 5200 Maywood Road, Glass
Plus remodeled and moved into a portion of the Arco Auto building at 5533 Shoreline Drive,
Headliners Bar at 5241 Shoreline Drive was closed with the interior demolished, PXC Corp.
expanded into an additional 16,000 square feet of the Balboa building that was vacant,
Shirley Hills School received a new roof, The Coffee Place remodeled and moved into the old
Super America Gas Station at 2551 Commerce Blvd., WWT Partners, Inc. remodeled and
moved into the lower level of the SOS Printing building at 2361 Wilshire Blvd., and Norwest
Bank is in the process of building a new bank building on the Saliterman property at 5211
Shoreline Drive.
The future looks bright with all the work being proposed by the Mound Visions project.
It also looks promising for 1996 with the development of Teal Pointe and Pelican Point
subdivisions, a total of 51 single family units are planned.
PLANNING & ZONING'
There were 51 total Planning and Zoning cases in 1995, this represents a 33 percent
decrease from 1994. We had 42 variance cases in 1995, of which 38 were approved, and
this results in a 90 percent approval rating. Relating to the number of variances, following
1995 Annual Report Planning & Inspections Department
is a quick comparison with some other cities.
CASES APPROVED DENIED % APPROVED
MOUND 42 38 3 93%*
MINNETRISTA 16 13 3 81%
HOPKINS 4 3 1 75%
WAYZATA 2 1 0 50%
*One case was withdrawn (Bedell's snack shop) and is not included in this percentage.
In 1995, the Council directed staff to conduct a variance study in order to review the
possibility of streamlining variances, and this process is on-going.
The balance of the Planning and Zoning actions consisted of 2 minor subdivisions and
7 conditional use permits. Please note Exhibit E for Zoning Case Statistics.
The City Council's actions were in agreement with the Planning Commission's
recommendations, with some amendments at the council level, as follows:
1996 = 94%
1994 = 94%
1993 = 96.5%
1992 = 96%
1991 = 98%
1990 = 100%
1989 = 92%
1988 = 95%
Ordinance Amendments. Several ordinance amendments were reviewed by this
department in 1995, one of which was approved, and other action is listed as follows:

New Planning Commission Members in 1995
The Planning Commission was happy to have Becky Glister as its only new member
in 1995, and we were sad to lose Lisa Crum who resigned her position in November.
Coming in 1996.
- An ordinance to regulate sump pumps and the discharge of stormwater into the
sanitary sewer system.

We feel we have accomplished a majority of the Department's goals for 1 995 and will
'continue with the same goals in 1996. I anticipate improved performance of our CSO's as
a result of experience, cooperation and teamwork. Goals for 1996:
o Continue to revise and develop procedures for effective nuisance abatement
consistent with community spirit.
Improve record keeping and tracking of complaints and problem areas to
provide for improved compliance.
1995 Annual Report Planning & Inspections Department
Improve public awareness of zoning codes and ordinances.
Improve staff's response to complaints.
Improve reporting of activities to the City Council.
Update fee schedules.
Complete streamlining process.
Update building/zoning handouts.
EDUCATION AND TRAINING:
Every municipality within the State of Minnesota over a certain population is required
by state statutes to adopt the State Building Code in its entirety and appoint a qualified
Building Official who is tested and certified by the Department of Administration Building
Codes and Standards Division.
Each Building Official must satisfactorily complete applicable educational programs
established or approved by the Commissioner of the Department of Labor and Industry.
Continuing Education is imperative to maintain certification and to stay abreast of the
every changing codes and new methods of construction.
Some of my educational opportunities in 1995 were:
o ICBO Annual Code Change Hearings/Conference, September 8 - 14th in Clark
County, Nevada.
o 38th Annual Institute for Building Officials, University of Minnesota Earl Brown
Institute
North Star/ICBO Chapter regular and subcommittee meetings.
SUMMARY:
Much has happened in the last year. The work load was high due to the number of
permits issued and construction value. 1995 is now behind us and we have done our best.
Our department is a year older, we have successfully negotiated through this past year and
we are more mature and skilled to deal with the challenges ahead. We have room to improve

and we will endeavor to continue to improve our efficiency and service to the public.
I am delighted to be surrounded by such excellent people within this and other
departments of the City. We look forward to another exciting and challenging year.

Mueller asked how he sees Mound changing7 He would like to see Mound maintain its small
town feel and likes the buffer the lake provides between Mound and the city. He feels the
City could afford to have more local manufacturing jobs so people do not have to commute.
Orv indicated that he lives across the street from the lake. Mueller questioned if he feels
people should have the right to build anything on their properties. Orv does not want the
continuity of neighborhoods destroyed, and does not agree with allowing hardships for lake
views.
Glister asked what he feels is Mound's greatest asset. Orv likes the small town feel, and
explained that he was raised in a town of 1200 people in South Dakota. His neighborhood
is a very close knit group and they get together often. People in Mound enjoy the lake.
Glister asked what is the least desirable aspect of Mound? Orv would like to see good viable
businesses that could bring in local employment. He does not feel that bringing new
businesses to town will affect the small town atmosphere.
Voss asked if he had any ideas on how to solicit more citizen involvement in government? Orv
commented that he came to a previous City meeting regarding a security light on the
commons, and has always given as much time as he can to City politics and schools. In
Bloomington he served on a youth commission and coached little league baseball.

Planning Commission Minutes
February 12, 1996
Weiland asked if he would have any problem with the time involved in serving on the Planning
Commission. Orv does not foresee any scheduling problems, his only current commitment is
on Wednesdays.
Clapsaddle asked, what would he consider the priority physical aspect of Mound. Orv
commented that he is very pleased with the City now, and doesn't know what he would
change.
Michael asked if he would attend a public hanging. Orv answered no.
DAVID KRAL, 4926 BARTLETT BLVD.
David moved to Mound 1-1/2 years ago. He is an avid boater. He is interested in where
Mound is going in its development. He is thinking of relocating his insurance business into
town.
Mueller asked where he sees Mound going in the future? David would like to raise peoples
opinion of Mound by creating more citizen involvement in the community. He would like to
change the visual impact of Mound. He would encourage participation in city events, and
would also likely get involved.
When asked about his background with hazardous waste, he commented that it should be a
concern of all communities.
Glister asked about previous residences. David stated that he previously lived in Tonka Bay
and prior to that in Corcoran. The lake was his biggest attraction to Mound and he knows
Mound has the most lakeshore. He believes that the value of his property will increase by
living close to the lake.
When questioned about Mound's least favorable feature he commented that traffic design is
poor in that it is hard to maneuver around town, and that some structures around town need
to be overhauled.
Voss questioned how we can get more citizen involvement. David stated that as soon as you
start changing things people will get involved either because they like it or because they don't.
He feels there will be a lot more community involvement with the development of Lost Lake.
Clapsaddle asked, if one outstanding physical change could be made to Mound, what would
it be? David answered, other than improving the appearance of Mound, improve or revamp
the structures around the Lost Lake area, and he would like to see a park in the Lost Lake
area.
Planning Commission Minutes February 12, 1996
Michael asked if he would attend a public hanging. David answered no, but then later stated
that he may attend, but only if he could protest it.
Mueller asked how he sees changes being made to Mound? David commented that there are
many ways to force change, and ways to not. He is comfortable with forcing change as long
as it benefits most of the people, and sometimes there is a need for forced change because
most people do not like change.
David does not have a problem with the meeting schedule.
Clapsaddle asked why he applied for the Planning Commission? David commented that his
only other option was the Park Commission, and the Planning Commission fits more with his
expertise and he has an eye for detail and visions.
GERALD REIFSCHNEIDER, 5411 BARTLETT BLVD
Gerry was born in Hutchinson, grew up in St. Paul, went to Hamline then the University of
Minnesota. He works for Ford. His employment has taken him to Stillwater, Edina, Mexico,
and Detroit. He moved into Mound in August 1995.
Mueller asked what he sees in the future for Mound. Gerry would like to have input on the
future of Mound. He has always wanted a house on the lake and hopes it will be a good
investment and would like to see Mound continue to be a good community.
Gerry was asked what he feels his experience and knowledge can bring to the Planning
Commission. He has attended Planning Commission meetings in other communities for other
houses he has owned. He understands structural issues and can determine if a house is
structurally sound.
Glister asked what is Mound's greatest asset. Gerry likes the small town atmosphere. He
lived 10 years in Edina, but would prefer it out here, and the lake is a big asset. Gerry
commented that some areas of town need improvement, and he is concerned about the
appearance of the downtown area. Before he purchased his house, he visited some of the
area businesses and talked with the owner of the now vacant furniture store.
Voss asked how we can get more citizen involvement in government. Gerry knows this is
difficult to do because when he headed up a soup kitchen in Detroit it was difficult to get
people involved. You need to try to make it fun and interesting. He was also on the volunteer
fire department in Edina for three years.
He does travel some, 2 to 3 days per month, but other than that foresees no problem
attending the scheduled meetings.

Planning Commission Minutes
February 12, 1996
One of the issues he attended a planning commission meeting for in another community was
because he needed a variance for an oversized garage.
He is not knowledgeable about the Lost Lake plans, other than what he has heard from his
neighbors. He has cross country skied through the property.
Clapsaddle asked what is the biggest drawback this town has? Gerry commented the
downtown area could use some work.
Why the Planning Commission? He has made a big investment in the community and wants
to be involved in keeping it right.
Michael asked if he would attend a public hanging. Gerry answered, no.
The Commission determined to delay voting until the end of the meeting.
RECOMMENDATION FOR PLANNING COMMISSION APPOINTMENT
Voss asked if they could table their voting until Rodney Beystrom had the opportunity for an
interview. Hanus noted that the Planning Commission has experienced this situation before
and believes the Work Rules address this issue.
The Secretary read from the Guidelines for the Interviewing and Selection of Candidates within
their Work Rules, "It is the intent of the Commission to interview all applicants and vote at the
same meeting." And, "If the applicant is unable to attend the scheduled interview, the
Planning Commission may make the recommendation based on information provided."
Clapsaddle commented that he would be voting for Gerald and David. He feels Gerald has
experience that could Prove interesting, and that David has all the qualifications. Concern was
expressed that Gerald has only been a resident of Mound for six months. Clapsaddle
commented that he was impressed that Gerald took the time to explore the local businesses.
Mueller suggested that Beystrom still be considered as a candidate when they vote. Mueller
noted that Beystrom has served nine months on the Commons Task Force, and that Beystrom
had telephoned him to talk about the position. Mueller feels that Beystrom's housing.
inspection background would be helpful to the Planning Commission.
The secretary collected and tallied the votes, as follows. The applicant with the lowest score
is their first choice. ,~
Rodney Beystrom 3344443 = 25 t~ ~
Orvin Burma 3121211 11~
David Kral 2233322 = 17 //
Gerald Reifschneider 1312134= 15
/
MOTION made by Weiland, seconded by Voss to recommend Orvin Burma be
appointed to fill the position vacated by Lisa Crum, and to recommend Gerald
Reifschneider to be appointed to fill the position vacated by Ed Surko (pending
formal resignation). Motion carried 6 to 1. Those in favor were: Weiland,
Voss, Clapsaddle, Michael, Glister, and Mark Hanus. Mueller was opposed.
Mueller explained that he opposed because he feels that Rodney Beystrom should have been
given the opportunity for an interview, or to be considered when voting, and is concerned that
Gerald has been a resident for only 6 months.

Mr. Shulke
I am interested in the opening on your planning commission. If that does not work out my second choice
would be your park and open space commission.
I am an engineer at the Ford Motor C~mpany Plant in St. Paul. I transferred here from Fannington Hills,
MI. in April of 1995. We moved into our home on Cooks Bay in August.
We enjoy living on the lake. ! am interested in what is going to happen in Mound. I plan to retire in this
area within the next five years. I would like to be part of Mounds growth, and help to guarantee that it
happens in an orderly and attractive manner.
I do not have an3' experience working on a planning commission. I have worked on other volunteer
community positions:
1. I xvas in charge of the soup kitchen in Detroit for our church.
2. I was a member of the Edina volunteer fire department until my transfer in 1985.
My home phone number is: 472-7456? ~vork is: 696-0770
Thank you for your consideration.

MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE
MOUND ADVISORY PARK AND OPEN SPACE COMMISSION
FEBRUARY 8, 1996
INTERVIEWS FOR PARK COMMISSIONER
BEV BOTK0, 2149 CARDINAL LANE
Bev commented on how nice it was to see so many members of the commons task force
present. She was asked what was the best idea that came out of the commons task force,
and she indicated it was the importance of working together. She feels they came up with
feasible solutions and now they will see how it comes out, but she feels it was well worth
while and feels the task force was important. She has lived in mound for almost 40 years and
has seen Mound grow. She commented that people do not move to Mound for the downtown
area, but for the lakes, parks, and mother nature.
Darling asked why Bev participated on the commons task force. Bev responded that she had
concerns, such as some areas being overly crowded with docks.
Geffre asked, relating to parks and open space, if you could change one thing about mound,
what would you change? Bev would like to keep Mound pure and environmentally sound, does
not want to see the parks trashed and wants to keep them open but with enough rules and
regulations to keep them in shape.
Casey asked how she sees the commons task force intersecting with the park commission in
in the future. She would see them working hand in hand and feels there are more solutions.
Bev is an abutter and explained that for many years there were no problems with the
commons, but for a couple of years there were problems with noise and litter, but recent years
have been fine. It all depends on who has the docks.
CARL PALMQUIST, 4520 DENBIGH ROAD
Carl has lived in Mound for 2 years, he moved from Northfield with his wife and is interested
in helping within the community. He works for Hennepin County.
Geffre asked that if funding was not a concern, what would be a priority to see mound
improved through the park system. Carl responded that he would like to see more park
equipment, and the aesthetic beauty improved with plantings.
Byrnes asked him to explain his community involvement in Northfield. Carl explained that he
was a member of the junior chamber, he joined in 1989 and became president when it was
about a 100 person organization. Their main fundraising event was Jesse James Days which
is an all volunteer event and draws about 250,000 people. They grossed about $50,000 per
year with this event.
His property abuts the commons. He has read some of what has been done by the commons
task force in the paper, and has no opinions on the issue.
Discussion
Byrnes recalled that Carl interviewed before so he must be very interested. Both are abutting
property owners.
MOTION by Byrnes, seconded by Darling, to vote at the end of the meeting.
Motion carried unanimously.
Andrea Ahrens submitted her vote to the secretary, then was excused from the meeting.
VOTE FOR PARK COMMISSION VACANCY
The ballots were collected and tallied by the Secretary. Each Commissioner gave their first
choice a 1, and their second choice a 2, so the person with the lowest total is their first
choice.

City Manager and Council Members:
The vacancy on the Park and Open Space Commission i~ of great
interest to me. As a resident of Mound for forty years, I
have watched the growth in population, growth in lake usage
and park usage, and am very concerned with protecting and:
preserving our area environmentally while still providing
pleasurable facilities for the population.
I have had the privilege of being on the Commons Task Force
since June of '95, so I am very aware of both the good and
bad aspects of this program. Also, I was an employee at the
Hennepin County Service Center until the end of last year,
s° I'm familiar with both boat and fishing licensing, with
park permits, ski permits, etc.
Our lakes and parks are extremely important to me - I would
value being a part of this Commission, and I would appreciate
your consideration.

MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE
MOUND ADVISORY PARK AND OPEN SPACE COMMISSION
FEBRUARY 8, 1996
REQUEST FOR DETERMINATION OF ABUTTING STATUS FOR 4700 WILSHIRE BLVD.
Parks Director, Jim Fackler, reviewed the staff report. The applicant is seeking to have the
property at 4700 Wilshire Blvd. designated as an "abutting" property as referred to under
Mound City Code Section 437:05, Subd. 7.a.
The dock location area affected is Excelsior Lane which currently has 23 dock sites. All 23
dock sites were issued a license in 1995. The 1996 available dock sites will not be known
until the first week of April when all renewals have been received.
Because of the location of this property in relationship to the dock site area, which would have
the extended property line running parallel to the shoreline, a dock site would not fall "within
his or her lot lines extended to the shoreline" as stated in Section 437.05, Subd. 7.a.
If it is determined that this property is "abutting" with first priority rights, it would also have
to be determined how staff would proceed in assigning a site. Possibilities include:
1)
Give abutting property the closest site #32340 which has been renewed by the same
party for about 10 years.
2)
Assign a site upon availability when a site comes open and allow the site to change to
locations closer to the abutting property as they become available. (Note - this may
take more than one year due to renewals.)
The Parks Director clarified that their is no definition for "abutting."
Mr. Jacobson, understands about the lines projecting into the commons shoreline, however,
indicated that his parcel is actually closer to the water than any other properties adjacent to
the Excelsior Lane commons.
He would be happy to take the next available spot and eventually move closer to his property
as the dock sites become available. Jacobson stressed that this is an unusual and unique
situation.
Darling suggested that it should not be the Park Commissions responsibility to recommend if
this property is abutting or not.
MOTION by Darling, seconded by Geffre, to recommend to the City Council that
this issue be reviewed by the City Attorney to get an opinion whether this
property can be considered "abutting". Motion carried unanimously.
This recommendation will be reviewed by the City Council on February 27, 1996. Mr.
Jacobson indicated that he will be out of town, howeverj would prefer the item remain on that
agenda.

Re: Dock License Application
Dear Mr. Jacobson:
You have requested that I review the Mound City Code Provisions relating
to issuance of dock licenses so as to be able to counsel you relating to your
impending application to the City of Mound for such a license.
After reviewing the Code Provisions, the plat of Seton and the survey of your
property prepared by Schoborg Land Surveying, Inc., I am of the opinion that
you should be eligible for a license for a dock on Seton Lagoon. Further, it
would appear that your lot is so situated that you should have first priority
under the ordinance for such a license.
If you have any questions about the foregoing, please call me.
Sincerely,
LEd/nh

Re: Teal Pointe
Dear Ed:
As you are aware from discussions with our client's
representative, the completion of the road in Teal Pointe has
been delayed as a result of the extremely cold weather that
occurred this winter. My understanding is that approximately 70%
of the project has been completed to date. The items remaining
include Class 5 gravel, curb and gutter, and bituminous. As a
result of the road restrictions and the delay due to the cold
weather, it appears as if the completion will not occur on the
date that was originally projected at the end of April. On
behalf of our client, we hereby respectfully request that the
April 30 completion date be extended to June 30, 1996. We
appreciate your cooperation.
Yours very truly,

I have now received the materials from the City concerning the development
contract and copies of the letter of credit. I want to emphasize that your office
should have a follow-up for the middle of February, 1996, or early March of 1996
because if the improvements are not done by April 30, we need to collect under the
letter of credit. There should be another follow-up in the middle of April, and if the
improvements have not been done, have Gino prepare a draw and go down and
collect the $155,000 from the Bank.

SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 800:05, SUBD.
5, AND SECTION 800:35, SUBD. 10, RELATING TO SUNDAY SALES
AND CLUB LICENSES
Recently, it came to my attention that the Mound VFW and its Sunday Liquor License were not
in compliance with local ordinances related to On-Sale Sunday Liquor. Section 340A.504 of the
Minnesota State Statutes permits a "club" to sell intoxicating liquor on Sundays between the
hours of 12 noon and 1 AM on Mondays. However, it must be sold in the conjunction with the
sale of food. Although, 'the VFW restaurant is currently open on Sundays, in order for the
VFW to continue to sell liquor on Sundays, they must have a Class B On-Sale type license,
which authorizes sales in conjunction with the serving of food. In researching this matter
further, I found that Section 800:05 of the City Code does not allow Clubs to be issued On-Sale
Sunday licenses because this provision only applies to hotels or restaurants.
In order for the VFW and potentially other clubs, i.e. American Legion, to be in compliance
with City Code as it relates to On-Sale Sunday Liquor, the Code must be amended so that On-
Sale Sunday Liquor Licenses do pertain to not only hotels and restaurants, but also dubs.
Enclosed, Curt Pearson, City Attorney, has provided an amendment to Section 800:05, Sub&
5. By passing this ordinance amendment, it would put the VFW into compliance with local
ordinances and will alleviate any problems in the future as it relates to other clubs who may wish
to apply for On-Sale Sunday Liquor Licenses.
If you have any questions, please contact Curt Pearson or myself.

Dear Ed:
Re:
Sunday Liquor Sales and Club Licenses Ordinance Changes
In response to your letter of February 13, 1996, and discussions we have held, I
have prepared amendments to two sections of the liquor code.
There appears to have been an over-sight in that Section 800:05, Subd. 5, of the
City Code did not include a provision allowing the sale of liquor on Sunday by a club.
The definition in our ordinance restricted that license to hotels or restaurants, and I have
to believe that was an over-sight. The sale of liquor on Sunday by a club or by a regular
liquor licensee is restricted to establishments that can serve or seat at least 30 guests at
one time, and the sale of liquor must be in conjunction with the sale of food.
In reviewing the ordinances, I also checked the state statutes and determined that
Section 800:35, Subd. 10 should be clarified. The title has said previously that there is
no sale to non-members by a club. The title is not considered in defining the restriction.
The definition makes reference to sale to bona fide members. I think that the intent of
this section is to comply with Section 340A.404, Subd. 4 of the Minnesota Statutes which
restricts said sales to members and bona fide guests. I have therefore amended the
wording to indicate that no liquor shall be sold to persons who are not members or bona
fide guests of members, and I believe that will more accurately reflect the wording as
incorporated from the state statutes.
CAF100623
MU200-32
If you find these changes to be in order, they can be presented to the Council at
its next meeting on February 27, 1996.

MOUND ADVISORY PARK AND OPEN SPACE COMMISSION
FEBRUARY 8, 1996
Present were: Chair Tom Casey, Commissioners Marilyn Byrnes, Peter Meyer, Janis Geffre,
Mary Goode, Bill Darling, and Rita Pederson, Council Representative Andrea Ahrens, Parks
Director Jim Fackler, Dock Inspector Tom McCaffrey, and Secretary Peggy James.
The following persons were also in attendance: Rich Rodney, Jackie Meyer, Richard

INTERVIEWS FOR PARK COMMISSIONER
BEV BOTKO, 2149 CARDINAL LANE
Bev commented on how nice it was to see so many members of the commons task force
present. She was asked what was the best idea that came out of the commons task force,
and she indicated it was the importance of working together. She feels they came up with
feasible solutions and now they will see how it comes out, but she feels it was well worth
while and feels the task force was important. She has lived in mound for almost 40 years and
has seen Mound grow. She commented that people do not move to Mound for the downtown
area, but for the lakes, parks, and mother nature.
Darling asked why Bev participated on the commons task force. Bev responded that she had
concerns, such as some areas being overly crowded with docks.
Geffre asked, relating to parks and open space, if you could change one thing about mound,
what would you change? Bev would like to keep Mound pure and environmentally sound, does
not want to see the parks trashed and wants to keep them open but with enough rules and
regulations to keep them in shape.
Casey asked how she sees the commons task force intersecting with the park commission in
in the future. She would see them working hand in hand and feels there are more solutions.
Bev is an abutter and explained that for many years there were no problems with the
commons, but for a couple of years there were problems with noise and litter, but recent years
have been fine. It all depends on who has the docks.
CARL PALMQUIST, 4520 DENBIGH ROAD
Carl has lived in Mound for 2 years, he moved from Northfield with his wife and is interested
in helping within the community. He works for Hennepin County.
Geffre asked that if funding was not a concern, what would be a priority to see mound
improved through the park system. Carl responded that he would like to see more park
equipment, and the aesthetic beauty improved with plantings.

Byrnes asked him to explain his community involvement in Northfield. Carl explained that he
was a member of the junior chamber, he joined in 1989 and became president when it was
about a 100 person organization. Their main fundraising event was Jesse James Days which
is an all volunteer event and draws about 250,000 people. They grossed about $50,000 per
year with this event.
His property abuts the commons. He has read some of what has been done by the commons
task force in the paper, and has no opinions on the issue.
Discussion
Byrnes recalled that Carl interviewed before so he must be very interested. Both are abutting
property owners.
MOTION by Byrnes, seconded by Darling, to vote at the end of the meeting.
Motion carried unanimously.
Andrea Ahrens submitted her vote to the secretary, then was excused from the meeting.
MINUTES
Pederson noted that she should be listed as being present, and Janis Geffre should not, as she
was absent.
MOTION made by Byrnes seconded by Goode to approve the Park and Open
Space Commission Minutes of January 11, 1996 as amended. Motion carried

Park and Open Space Commission Minutes February 8, 1996
It was 'suggested that neighborhood associations may not be the ticket, and that some city
organization is needed, and that everyone needs to get along better.
How property taxes vary between private lakeshore homes and commons lakeshore homes
were discussed.
Casey and Goldberg discussed structures on the commons and how the city's policies differ
between structures on commons and structures on private shoreline.
REQUEST FOR DETERMINATION OF ABUTTING STATUS FOR 4700 WILSHIRE BLVD.
Parks Director, Jim Fackler, reviewed the staff report. The applicant is seeking to have the
property at 4700 Wilshire Blvd. designated as an "abutting" property as referred to under
Mound City Code Section 437:05, Subd. 7.a.
The dock location area affected is I:xcelsior Lane which currently has 23 dock sites. All 23
dock sites were issued a license in 1995. The 1996 available dock sites will not be known
until the first week of April when all renewals have been received.
Because of the location of this property in relationship to the dock site area, which would have
the extended property line running parallel to the shoreline, a dock site would not fall "within
his or her lot lines extended to the shoreline" as stated in Section 437.05, Subd. 7.a.
If it is determined that this property is "abutting" with first priority rights, it would also have
to be determined how staff would proceed in assigning a site. Possibilities include:
1)
Give abutting property the closest site #32340 which has been renewed by the same
party for about 10 years.
2)
Assign a site upon availability when a site comes open and allow the site to change to
locations closer to the abutting property as they become available. (Note - this may
take more than one year due to renewals.)
The Parks Director clarified that their is no definition for "abutting."
Mr. Jacobson, understands about the lines projecting into the commons shoreline, however,
indicated that his parcel is actually closer to the water than any other properties adjacent to
the Excelsior Lane commons.
He would be happy to take the next available spot and eventually move closer to his property
as the dock sites become available. Jacobson stressed that this is an unusual and unique
situation.
Darling suggested that it should not be the Park Commissions responsibility to recommend if
this property is abutting or not.
MOTION by Darling, seconded by Geffre, to recommend to the City Council that
this issue be reviewed by the City Attorney to get an opinion whether this
property can be considered "abutting". Motion carried unanimously.
Park and Open Space Commission Minutes
February 8, 1996
This recommendation will be reviewed by the City Council on February 27, 1996. Mr.
Jacobson indicated that he will be out of town, however, would prefer the item remain on that
agenda.
PUBLIC LAND PERMIT: HAZARDOUS TREE REMOVAL ON NORWOOD LANE
The Parks Director explained that the willow tree is leaning over the house, and clears the
house by only about one foot. The tree is hollow at the base. Fackler recommended the
entire tree be removed.
Byrnes express a concern about another tree which is located close to this one that is leaning
over the docks.
MOTION by Goode, seconded by Pederson, to recommend removal of the
hazardous willow tree located on Norwood Lane adjacent to 4877 Bartlett Blvd.
Motion carried unanimously.
This recommendation will be reviewed by the City Council on February 27, 1996.
REVIEW PARKS AND BEACH PROGRAM
Jim Fackler indicated that he provided information from the 1995 program, and suggested that
they discuss at their upcoming workshop any recommendations or concerns about the
program for discussion with Piepkorn at the March meeting.
develop a list of concerns and possible program changes which he can address at the March
14th meeting. The 1996 program is proposed to be the same as in 1995.
Fackler explained that only a one percent increase was approved from the 1995 budget, and
last year they had to cut lifeguard's hours in order to stay within the budget.
1996 1995
APPROVED ACTUAL
BUDGET EXPENDITURES
PARKS: Recreation Program
BEACHES: Lifeguard Program
813,300 $10,582
$16,400 $18,387
Tim also suggested that you begin thinking about goals for the 1997 program.
It was noted that more was spent on the Lifeguard Program last year than what was budgeted
for this year. Jackie Meyer stated that she was present to represent the program personally,
not as a Community Education employee. She has been involved with these programs for the
past 20 years, and noted that last year the park program was reduced from six weeks to five
weeks, and the extra money was given to the Lifeguard program to pay for the overage, and
it still was not enough. In 1995 they had to cut back the number of hours the Lifeguards
monitored the beaches.
Goode commented that our community does not have sufficient activities for our youth. She
referenced the Comprehensive Plan which states that Mound has less park space than what
is recommended for a city their size. She suggested that the kids could get more involved in
Park and Open Space Commission Minutes February 8, 1996
this program by having them pull the weeds in at the beaches and work with community ed
on this program. She feels the City Council needs to see this as a priority issue.
Darling questioned Fackler what it will take to get umbrellas for the lifeguards and improve the
beach program. Fackler stressed that they need a recommendation based on a plan, and the
request has to be reasonable. Fackler noted that they need to look at 1997 for improvements
because the 1996 program costs are already set.
Goode questioned who's responsibility it is to prepare a specific plan?
Peter Meyer noted that the summer parks program used to be 8 weeks, five days
a week, and not it is only 5 weeks at 4 days per week. The program has been cut from 40
days per year to 20.
Meyer noted that the Lifeguard's budget in 1993 and 1994 was $20-$21,000. Fackler
explained that there were a couple of years when they did not need all the funds allocated due
to extra rain days, and when the Council saw that the entire budget was not being used, they
cut it. Meyer noted that they have also steadily cut back services at beaches over the years.
Jackie Meyer commented that, as a mother, she does not appreciate the lifeguards being
pulled off the beaches early in the year when the public expects them to be there.
Goode suggested a recommendation that in 1997 they extend the park program back to 8
weeks at 5 days per week.
Casey suggested they discuss this issue further at their workshop meeting.
STAIRWAY GUIDELINES: INFORMATION GATHERED BY JON SUTHERLAND, BUILDING
OFFICIAL, IN RELATION TO STAIRWAY GUIDELINES FROM OTHER AGENCIES
Casey referred to the information in their packet as collected by Jon Sutherland, Building
Official. Casey questioned if ADA rules apply to the stairs on public lands? Casey suggested
that they ask for Jon's best design to best reduce the cattle chute appearance.
Goode commented that she was the one who made the motion to approve the stairway on
commons that did not meeting the rise and run requirement, but now believes she was wrong
in doing so, and that in order to have safe stairways, they need to follow some guideline.
Goode suggested that Jon Sutherland could take the different stairway standards as used by
other agencies, and/or the UBC codes, and embellish on them and write standards that would
be acceptable for outdoor stairways.
The Parks Director noted that it is not the Building Official's duty to design stairs for an
applicant, but if an applicant submits a "cattle chute" design for a stairway, the Park
Commission could recommend that the design be changed.
Casey suggested that parameters could be developed. Goode noted that there are parameters
to construct safe exterior stairs within the information provided, and suggested that Jon could
create a code or rules that will create safe stairs.
Goode is more concerned about creating construction standards for outdoor stairways because
the UBC standards are for indoor stairways. Casey is more concerned about creating design
standards.

Park and Open Space Commission Minutes
February 8, 1996
Fackler agreed that they have to have construction standards for the stairs, but emphasized
that the design is the responsibility of the owner, even though the design is ultimately
reviewed by the Park Commission and approved by the City Council.
Pederson referred to page 49 of the packet which is a phone conversation record between Jon
Sutherland and the National Park Service, and they look at how the design of a stairway will
impact the natural and unique character of the property and "apply ADA where possible".
It was questioned if the current UBC standards restrict the design of stairways.
Byrnes suggested that they look at stairways on their park tour in April.
CAPITAL OUTLAY: 1995 APPROVED & ACTUAL EXPENDITURES, AND 1996 APPROVED
Jim reviewed the capital outlay summaries for 1995 and 1996.
Byrnes questioned if repairs to the Wychwood riprapping is budgeted in 1996. Fackler
commented that this was cut from the budget, and in order to have the funds for 1997 he
would need another recommendation from the Park Commission.
BOAT CANOPIES: MEMORANDUM ADDRESSING BOAT CANOPIES, RESTRICTIONSWITHIN
MOUND CITY CODE
Fackler referred to City Code Section 437 which gives the Dock Inspector the ability to use
discretion when approving dock designs.
Goode stated that her comments from the previous meeting were relating to Section 320
where it refers to "boathouses", and she was wondering if this would include boat canopies.
EXTEND WORK RULES
Casey moved that they extend the meeting for 15 minutes past the 10:00
adjournment as required in their Work Rules. Darling seconded the motion.
Meyer suggested that they extend the meeting for more than 15 minutes. Byrnes feels that
they should not put so much on agenda if they cannot finish it in the required time.
Motion carried 7-1. Byrnes opposed.
QUESTION ABOUT A MOTION
Bill Darling referred to a motion made at the December 14, 1995 meeting, "MOTION by
Ahrens, seconded by Pederson, to recommend that Latcham's pump house be removed with
general fund money rather than dock fund money." Darling questioned what the difference
is from using dock fund money versus general fund money.
Fackler explained that the dock fund is self supporting, the dock users are paying for the
removal, but when using the general fund, the general public is paying for the removal. He
believes the intent is that if the lands are intended to for use by the general public, then they
should pay for it.
Park anO Open Space Commission Binu=es February 8, 1996
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE (COW) MINUTER
Motion by Meyer to request that the COW Meeting Minutes be included in the
monthly Park and Open Space Commission packets. Darling seconded. Motion
carried unanimously.
DOCK COMMITTEE
Meyer referred to the COW Minutes of January 16, 1996 and read from the minutes,
"Councilmember Hanus asked the Council to think about the possibility of creating a separate
committee whose only purpose was to review dock issues and remove the Parks and Open
space Commission from having to deal with dock issues."
Meyer moved that Staff or Council present their concerns regarding the
formation of a new committee to review dock issues and removing the park
commission in having to deal with dock issues. Motion seconded by Pederson.
Meyer
this is

commented that he would like to know why they are considering this. Fackler believes
something that arose from commons task force, and that it is his opinion that the two
are intertwined.
Motion carried unanimously.
HERON LANE NCA
Casey requested an update on their motion from the last meeting regarding the Heron Lane
NCA. Fackler indicated that the City Manager was recently approached by one of the
applicants, and that they are still interested in pursuing their request, and the County is still
working on it. The request was not withdrawn.
PARK DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Regarding Woodland Point, Fackler explained that a Mediator has been obtained from the State
at no charge to the City, and a selected group of people from Woodland Point will be meeting
on a weekly basis with the Mediator until April 1. The meetings are not open to the public.
He asked that the Commission think about where they want to go on their park tour in April.
DOCK INSPECTOR'S REPORT
Tom McCaffrey reported that they have 23 people on a waiting list so far.
VOTE FOR PARK COMMISSION VACANCY
The ballots were collected and tallied by the Secretary. Each Commissioner gave their first

INTERVIEW CANDIDATES FOR PLANNING COMMISSION:
RODNEY BEYS'FROM, 4466 DENBIGH ROAD
Mr. Beystrom was not present.
ORVlN BURMA, 3011 ISLAND VIEW DRIVE
Orv moved to Mound 5 years ago, and prior to that lived in Bloomington for 20 years. He
enjoys the Mound community. He works at a printing business, in Minneapolis, and his wife
works at a roofing company in Minneapolis. His family is a member of Good Shepherd
Lutheran Church.
Mueller asked how he sees Mound changing? He would like to see Mound maintain its small
town feel and likes the buffer the lake provides between Mound and the city. He feels the
City could afford to have more local manufacturing jobs so people do not have to commute.
Orv indicated that he lives across the street from the lake. Mueller questioned if he feels
people should have the right to build anything on their properties. Orv does not want the
continuity of neighborhoods destroyed, and does not agree with allowing hardships for lake
views.
Glister asked what he feels is Mound's greatest asset. Orv likes the small town feel, and
explained that he was raised in a town of 1200 people in South Dakota. His neighborhood
is a very close knit group and they get together often. People in Mound enjoy the lake.
Glister asked what is the least desirable aspect of Mound? Orv would like to see good viable
businesses that could bring in local employment. He does not feel that bringing new
businesses to town will affect the small town atmosphere.
Voss asked if he had any ideas on how to solicit more citizen involvement in government? Orv
commented that he came to a previous City meeting regarding a security light on the
commons, and has always given as much time as he can to City politics and schools. In
Bloomington he served on a youth commission and coached little league baseball.
Planning Commission Minutes
February I2, I996
Weiland asked if he would have any problem with the time involved in serving on the Planning
Commission. Orv does not foresee any scheduling problems, his only current commitment is
on Wednesdays.
Clapsaddle asked, what would he consider the priority physical aspect of Mound. Orv
commented that he is very pleased with the City now, and doesn't know what he would
change.
Michael asked if he would attend a public hanging. Orv answered no.
DAVID KRAL, 4926 BARTLETT BLVD.
David moved to Mound 1-1/2 years ago. He is an avid boater. He is interested in where
Mound is going in its development. He is thinking of relocating his insurance business into
town.
Mueller asked where he sees Mound going in the future? David would like to raise peoples
opinion of Mound by creating more citizen involvement in the community. He would like to
change the visual impact of Mound. He would encourage participation in city events, and
would also likely get involved.
When asked about his background with hazardous waste, he commented that it should be a
concern of all communities.
Glister asked about previous residences. David stated that he previously lived in Tonka Bay
and prior to that in Corcoran. The lake was his biggest attraction to Mound and he knows
Mound has the most lakeshore. He believes that the value of his property will increase by
living close to the lake.
When questioned about Mound's least favorable feature he commented that traffic design is
poor in that it is hard to maneuver around town, and that some structures around town need
to be overhauled.
Voss questioned how we can get more citizen involvement. David stated that as soon as you
start changing things people will get involved either because they like it or because they don't.
He feels there will be a lot more community involvement with the development of Lost Lake.
Clapsaddle asked, if one outstanding physical change could be made to Mound, what would
it be? David answered, other than improving the appearance of Mound, improve or revamp
the structures around the Lost Lake area, and he would like to see a park in the Lost Lake
area.
2
Planning Commission Minutes February 12, 1996
Michael asked if he would attend a public hanging. David answered no, but then later stated
that he may attend, but only if he could protest it.
Mueller asked how he sees changes being made to Mound? David commented that there are
many ways to force change, and ways to not. He is comfortable with forcing change as long
as it benefits most of the people, and sometimes there is a need for forced change because
most people do not like change.
David does not have a problem with the meeting schedule.
Clapsaddle asked why he applied for the Planning Commission? David commented that his
only other option was the Park Commission, and the Planning Commission fits more with his
expertise and he has an eye for detail and visions.
GERALD REIFSCHNEIDER, 5411 BARTLETT BLVD.
Gerry was born in Hutchinson, grew up in St. Paul, went to Hamline then the University of
Minnesota. He works for Ford. His employment has taken him to Stillwater, Edina, Mexico,
and Detroit. He moved into Mound in August 1995.
Mueller asked what he sees in the future for Mound. Gerry would like to have input on the
future of Mound. He has always wanted a house on the lake and hopes it will be a good
investment and would like to see Mound continue to be a good community.
Gerry was asked what he feels his experience and knowledge can bring to the Planning
Commission. He has attended Planning Commission meetings in other communities for other
houses he has owned. He understands structural issues and can determine if a house is
structurally sound.
Glister asked what is Mound's greatest asset. Gerry likes the small town atmosphere. He
lived 10 years in Edina, but would prefer it out here, and the lake is a big asset. Gerry
commented that some areas of town need improvement, and he is concerned about the
appearance of the downtown area. Before he purchased his house, he visited some of the
area businesses and talked with the owner of the now vacant furniture store.
Voss asked how we can get more citizen involvement in government. Gerry knows this is
difficult to do because when he headed up a soup kitchen in Detroit it was difficult to get
people involved. You need to try to make it fun and interesting. He was also on the volunteer
fire department in Edina for three years.
He does travel some, 2 to 3 days per month, but other than that foresees no problem
attending the scheduled meetings.
Planning Commission Minutes
February 12, 1996
One of the issues he attended a planning commission meeting for in another community was
because he needed a variance for an oversized garage.
He is not knowledgeable about the Lost Lake plans, other than what he has heard from his
neighbors. He has cross country skied through the property.
Clapsaddle asked what is the biggest drawback this town has? Gerry commented the
downtown area could use some work.
Why the Planning Commission? He has made a big investment in the community and wants
to be involved in keeping it right.
Michael asked if he would attend a public hanging. Gerry answered, no.
The Commission determined to delay voting until the end of the meeting.
MINUTES
The Planning Commission Minutes of January 8, 1996 were presented for approval.
Glister commented that she was in Europe during the January meeting and requested that she
be listed as an excused absence.
MOTION made by Mueller seconded by Voss to approve the Planning
Commission Minutes of January B, 1995 as amended. Motion carried

CASE 96-01: ST. JOHN'S LUTHERAN CHURCH, 2451 FAIRVIEW LANE, TRACTS l-G, RLS
739, PID 24-117-24 12 0014. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT & VARIANCE FOR ADDITION
{CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING)
Mark Koegler, City Planner, noted that this issue was tabled by the Planning Commission on
January 8, 1996. The church is proposing to expand their present facility by adding additional
sanctuary space and classrooms and reconfiguring the church entrance and the vehicular
access the serves the entrance. The plans also call for construction of a new parking lot
adjacent to the corner of Bartlett Blvd. and Fairview Lane. This lot will accommodate 38
spaces. Koegler reviewed the following issues:
1. Conditional Use Permit requirements.
Variances: a) Recognition of an existing nonconforming setback to an Indian Mound.
The existing church is located 20 feet from the mound, a 50 foot setback is required.
b) A 10 foot building height variances is also requested. The existing roof has a height
of 45 feet to the required 35 feet.
4
Planning Commission Minutes February 12, I996
Shoreland Standards. The proposal is in compliance with the impervious cover
restrictions at approximately 35% within the shoreland area.
The lower parking lot has been re-designed to an "L" shape resulting in the loss of 12
trees, versus 19 with the original plan. The additional trees that have been preserved
by the plan change are those located just west of the curb line off Fairview Lane which
help separate the parking lot from the adjacent neighborhood.
Parking and Circulation. based on the new plan, our ordinance requires 147 parking
spaces. The total proposed parking of 188 spaces exceeds the minimum ordinance
requirement. St. John's will need to install concrete curb and gutter in the new lower
level parking lot as well as in the existing parking lot near the building entrance.
Landscaping. Additional trees in two of the new island areas would help soften the
paved surface area.
7. Lighting. More information is needed.
Holding Pond. Koegler reviewed the depth variations of the pond which depends on
the amount of rain.
Phasing of Development. Depending on bids received for the cost of the project, the
parking lot may be a phase one or phase two improvement.
Staff recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of a conditional use
permit and building height and Indian mound setback variances for St. John's Lutheran Church
to construct the proposed building addition and parking lot improvements subject to the
following conditions:
The church shall submit a plan for all proposed lighting including cut sheets on the
types of proposed fixtures and a lumen plan which shows the light levels cast by the
identified fixtures. Said lighting plan shall be submitted and approved by City Staff
prior to the issuance of a building permit.
Two additional deciduous trees shall be added in the newly created parking lot islands
in the parking lot near the primary church entrance.
Signs shall be installed along the drop off area abutting Fairview Lane which shall
identify the area as a "no parking" zone.
City approval of the conditional use permit is conditioned upon approval of the drainage
plan by the Watershed District.
5
Planning Commission Minutes
February 12, 1996
Structural data on all retaining walls exceeding 4 feet in height shall be supplied.
Additionally, the surface treatment of the retaining walls shall be identified and
submitted to staff for approval prior to building permit issuance.
A street excavation permit will be required for the watermain and storm sewer
connections and the construction of new driveway entrances.
The proposed storm sewer connection at Bartlett Blvd. should be moved approximately
35 feet to the southwest. A detail of the proposed structure shall be submitted to the
City Engineer for review and approval prior to the issuance of a building permit.
The project shall comply with all applicable local, regional, state and federal
requirements.
Construction of the lower parking lot is hereby approved. If the lower parking lot is not
completed concurrent with the building improvements, it can be constructed at a later
date in full compliance with this approval providing that the plan for the lot remain
unchanged. Construction of the parking lot, regardless of time frame, shall comply
with all local, regional, state and federal rules in effect at the time.
10.
Concrete curb and gutter shall be installed in the lower parking lot area, in the new
entrance drive and in modified areas of the existing parking lot consistent with Sheet
C1, Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Plan dated February 6, 1996.
In reference to//9, Weiland questioned, if the parking lot does not get done and they change
the plans, would they have to come back to the Planning Commission for review? Koegler
answered that they may have to if the changes are significant, or if the City's ordinances
change.
Chair Michael opened the public hearing. There being no comments, Chair Michael closed the
public hearing.
Mueller asked if the DNR was specifically notified that a setback variance to the Indian mound
was part of this request. He is concerned because the DNR has not submitted a response to
this application.
Koegler commented that the Indian mound portion may not even be in the 1000 foot shoreland
district, however, he has no problem notifying the DNR. Mueller emphasized that it would be
a good gesture on Mound's part to let them know that we recognize the cemetery.
Voss feels the DNR is already fully aware of the Indian mound issue on this property, and does
not feel it needs to be a part of their recommendation.

Planning Commission Minutes February 12, 1996
Muellerexpressed a concern aboutthetrees which wereremoved that delineated thelndian
mound.
Dale Wenkus confirmed that the State Archeologist and the Indian Council are okay with the
status of the mound.
Motion by Weiland to recommend approval of the conditional use permit, as
recommended by staff, with the condition that the City specifically notify the
DNR about the variance relating to the Indian Mound. Motion seconded by
Clapsaddle. Motion carried unanimously.
This case will be heard by the City Council on February 27, 1996.
CASE 96-02: DEAN & SHIRLEY EIDEM, 4818 MONMOUTH ROAD, LOTS 22, 23, & E 1/2 OF
21, BLOCK 22, WYCHWOOD, PID 24-117-2441 0040. VARIANCE FOR ADDITION
Building Official, Jon Sutherland, reviewed the staff report. The applicant is seeking a
variance to recognize an existing nonconforming rear yard setback of 10 feet in order to
construct a conforming addition above the garage. The required rear yard setback is 15 feet,
resulting in the recognition of a 5 foot variance. All other aspects of this property are
conforming.
Staff recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of the variance request as
the proposed work is conforming and will not cause any further encroachment.
MOTION by Weiland, seconded by Mueller, to recommend approval of the
variance as recommended by staff. Motion carried unanimously.
This case will be heard by the City Council on February 27, 1996.
CASE 96-03: DAVID S. HOLM, 4321 WlLSHIRE BLVD., PART OF LOT 1, FIRST REARR. OF
PHELPS ISLAND PARK 1ST DIVISION, PID 19-117-23 13 0003. VARIANCE FOR NEW
DWELLING
Building Official, Jon Sutherland, reviewed the staff report. The applicant is seeking to renew
a variance that has expired. The original variance granted in 1990 by Resolution #90-62 was
approved unanimously by the Planning Commission and the City Council. This approval was
given after some compromise and resulted in a 32 foot setback variance to the OHW.
Approval was given due to the shape and depth of the Lot and the fact that the proposal is
generally consistent with the neighboring properties.
When reviewing the application again, and applying our current ordinance to this case, the
following issues are raised:
7
Planning Commission Minutes
February 12, 1996
Impervious surface coverage is limited to 30%, or 40% with an approved drainage
plan. The amount of impervious surface coverage needs to be further clarified. A
more detailed drainage plan identifying existing and proposed impervious surface must
be developed and submitted to staff for approval (preferably prior to the planning
commission meeting).
In order to provide accurate information for the variance and building permit, the survey
should be drawn to reflect the approval of the 32 foot setback.
Sutherland noted that since the crawl space will not be a usable area and the first floor will
be insulated, only the first floor of the dwelling, not the crawl space, must be set at or above
the elevation of 933.
Staff recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of the variance for a 32
foot lake side setback (measured to the deck), to allow construction of a new single family
dwelling, as shown on the revised survey dated January 17, 1996, contingent upon the
following:
Prior to building permit issuance, the applicant shall post a bond or letter of credit in
an amount acceptable to the Building Official to guarantee removal of the existing
structure.
An updated survey shall be provided that accurately details the proposed conditions
and a 32 foot setback to the deck.
A detailed drainage plan identifying existing and proposed impervious surface coverage
must be developed and submitted to staff for approval.
Mueller questioned if the top of the footing can be below the floodplain. Sutherland answered
yes. Mueller questioned if a variance will be required for filling in the floodplain. Sutherland
explained that there will be no filling below the elevation of 931.5, and if there was, he would
refer the applicant to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District for a permit. Sutherland noted
that the City's floodplain elevation is 931. This proposal shows no impact below the 931.5.
MOTION by Clapsaddle, seconded by Weiland, to recommend approval of the
variance, as recommended by staff. Motion carried 6 to 1. Those in favor
were: Clapsaddle, Hanus, Weiland, Michael, Voss and Glister. Mueller was
opposed.
Mueller stated that he is opposed due to lack of clarification about having footings within the
floodplain.
CASE 96-04: ON HOLD.
Planning Commission Minutes February 12, 1996
CASE 96-05: TEAL POINTE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, 5095 WINDSOR ROAD, LOTS 1,2,
24, 25, & 26. BLOCK 17, WHIPPLE, PID 25-117-24 12 0206. VARIANCE FOR GRADING
WITHIN A BLUFF
City Planner, Mark Koegler, reviewed the Engineering Report. Teal Pointe Development
Company is requested a grading permit to place fill on a portion of Lots 1 and 2, Block 17,
owned by Alice and Glen Rogers and also the westerly one-half of Cobden Lane. This grading
would eliminate the need for a retaining wall as approved in the final plat for Teal Pointe. The
City's Shoreland Management Ordinance (SMO) requires a variance for this grading due to the
restriction of placing fill in a bluff impact zone, as per Section 350:1225, Subd. 4.B.4.h. of
the Mound Zoning Ordinance.
The original plat approval in 1994 allowed for this fill in lieu of a retaining wall. When the plat
was re-approved in January 1995, the fill option was not included because the parties could
not come to a mutual agreement. The grading permit application shows the amount of fill at
230 cubic yards. We have calculated this number to be 540 cubic yards and recommend
using the larger volume when considering the variance application.
The placement of fill will eliminate a retaining wall that would be approximately 10 feet high
at its highest point. It will also eliminate the need for a guardrail and fence, which in a
residential area is not the most desirable. The elimination of these structures also relieves the
City of any future maintenance. The placement of fill in the Cobden Lane right-of-way also
makes this area more accessible to pedestrians than it would have been with a retaining wall.
All the parties involved should be aware that approval of this variance and grading permit does
not necessarily allow subject lots to be built on without additional permits and/or variances.
We have preferred the use of fill over the retaining wall from the very beginning of this project
and are therefore recommending approval of the variance request and grading permit.
Clapsaddle questioned if there will be an erosion control plan? Koegler noted that this is
usually required, and it could be made part of the recommendation.
Hanus questioned what the variance is for. Koegler noted that any filling within a shoreland
area, in excess of 50 cubic yards, requires a variance. Hanus expressed a concern about how
this will impact the trees. Koegler noted that 4 to 5 tress will have to be removed as part of
the plan.
Clapsaddle and Mueller both commented that they were originally in favor of grading/filling this
area, versus the retaining wall.
Motion made by Clapsaddle, second Mueller to recommend approval of the
grading permit, as recommended by staff, with the condition that all required
measures be taken with regards to erosion as to not affect adjoining properties.
Motion carried unanimously.

Planning Commission Minutes
February 12, 1996
RECOMMENDATION FOR PLANNING COMMISSION APPOINTMENT
Voss asked if they could table their voting until Rodney Beystrom had the opportunity for an
interview. Hanus noted that the Planning Commission has experienced this situation before
and believes the Work Rules address this issue.
The Secretary read from the Guidelines for the Interviewing and Selection of Candidates within
their Work Rules, "It is the intent of the Commission to interview all applicants and vote at the
same meeting." And, "If the applicant is unable to attend the scheduled interview, the
Planning Commission may make the recommendation based on information provided."
Clapsaddle commented that he would be voting for Gerald and David. He feels Gerald has
experience that could prove interesting, and that David has all the qualifications. Concern was
expressed that Gerald has only been a resident of Mound for six months. Clapsaddle
commented that he was impressed that Gerald took the time to explore the local businesses.
Mueller suggested that Beystrom still be considered as a candidate when they vote. Mueller
noted that Beystrom has served nine months on the Commons Task Force, and that Beystrom
had telephoned him to talk about the position. Mueller feels that Beystrom's housing
inspection background would be helpful to the Planning Commission.
The secretary collected and tallied the votes, as follows. The applicant with the lowest score
is their first choice.
Rodney Beystrom
Orvin Burma
David Kral
Gerald Reifschneider
3344443= 25
3121211= 11
2233322 = 17
1312134= 15
MOTION made by Weiland, seconded by Voss to recommend Orvin Burma be
appointed to fill the position vacated by Lisa Crum, and to recommend Gerald
Reifschneider to be appointed to fill the position vacated by Ed Surko (pending
formal resignation). Motion carried 6 to 1. Those in favor were: Weiland,
Voss, Clapsaddle, Michael, Glister, and Mark Hanus. Mueller was opposed.
Mueller explained that he opposed because he feels that Rodney Beystrom should have been
given the opportunity for an interview, or to be considered when voting, and is concerned that
Gerald has been a resident for only 6 months.

the City eligible for 50 bonus points on each ISTEA Application (Streetscape Project
and the Relocation of Hennepin County Road 15 Project).
FARMER'S MARKET
A brief discussion was held on the Farmer's Market expansion. Bruce Chamberlain
indicated that he and Gary Christensen and the City Manager had met with the

was interested in locating a satellite facility in Mound that would be part of the
Minneapolis system.
SHUTTLE BOAT
Also discussed was a shuttle boat idea utilizing a smaller shuttle boat to transport
passengers from downtown Mound through the Lost Lake canal to Cook's Bay to the
