PUBLIC II-EARING: CONSIDERATION OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO
ALLOW A M'fi'qOR AUTO REPAIR BUSINESS FOR MEYER'$ MOUND SERVICE
LOCATED IN TI~ B-I CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AT 2610 COMMERCE
BLVD., PID ~23-117-24 14 0043 & 0050.
City Planner Mark Koegler stated the owners had applied for an amendment to their Conditional Use
Permit to allow an Auto Repair Business in the B-1 District. He reviewed the conditions with the
Council and stated staff and Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval.
Councilmember Jensen questioned the actual number of vehicles allowed to be parked overnight on the
lot. Discussion revolved around there not being a limited number of vehicles, rather keeping the
parked vehicles within the north lot.
Mayor Polston opened the public hea~fi, ng and asked if there was anyone present who wished to comment
either for or against this item. Mr. Meyer was present and stated that he did not want a limit on the
vehicles as vehicles will be coming and going frequently. Weather conditions often dictate the count
of vehicles as his business was AAA authorized. Also, he had agreed, as the Planning Commission had
requested, to not have any overnight parking on the south side of the property along Bartlett Boulevard.
Then Mr. Meyer questioned item "g" in the conditions regarding the two parcels being combined. He
stated he could not do this as the north lot was on a contract for deed and not paid off yet. He would
like to have that portion of the resolution removed. Council discussed this and the City Attorney
reworded item "g' to read: Tax parcels 23-117-23 14 0043 and 23-11%24 14 0050 shall be required
to be under one ownership and if either parcel Ls sold or transferred, this Conditional Use Permit shall
immediately become n_..ull, and void and the new owner or owners shal~ be required to reapply for a new
Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Meyer was in agreement. City Man~ger Ed Shukle read a letter from
a neighboring resident, Mr. Tom Reese, that stated his agreement w~da~the business proposal.. ·
Being no more comments for or against, Mayor Polston closed the public h ' g.
Mayor Polston was concerned with the possibility of complaints of too many vehicles and if the
resolution did not state an actual count, what guidelines did the City have to enforce over parldng?
Councilmember Iensen suggested changing the word 'parking' to 'storage' of vehicles. Mayor Polston
stated that if the resolution was not defined clearly, a precedence could be established. Consensus was
to let the area in use be the definition.
Councilmember Jensen moved and Councilmember Hanus seconded the amended resolution:

RECEIVEO

Suburbon FIIl once
July 3, 1996
Suburban Alliance has for the past 23 years served well the needs of citizens in western
Heunepin County. As you may have heard Suburban Alliance (West Hennepin Human
Services) has recently experienced some financial difficulty which may force the
organization into a rather difficult decision of survival (see press release dated June 24,
1996). Since that time the Hennepin County staffhave reversed their opinion and are
recommending to the commissioners termination of the emergency services and planning
and coordination contracts with Suburban Alliance. These contracts constitute the major
portion of funding for our orgamzation. While county staff have assured us there would
be no interruption of emergency services to people and famihes in need, we are
concerned for the loss of planning and coordination services and the unique citizen input
that has been the trademark of Suburban Alliance.
Since Suburban Alliance was formed under a joint powers agreement among west
Hennepin County's municipalities, the executive board thinks it is imperative that your
municipality participate in a discussion of our current situation and the decision of the
future existence of Suburban Alliance. A joint meeting of municipal representatives, the
Board of Directors of Suburban Alliance and county staff is scheduled for 7:00 P.M. on
Tuesday July 16, 1996, at the Plymouth Safety Building, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard,
Plymouth, MN. 55447. If you are unable to attend, would you appoint a staff member to
represent your municipality.
Please RSVP to Perry Madsen, office manger, at 930-3356 by Friday July 12, 1996.
Sincerely,
Steve Mumma, Chair
Board of Directors

West Hennepin Human Services Planning Board
9 Seventh Avenue South · Hopkins, MN 55343 · (612) 930-3356 · Fax (612) 930-3540
West Hennepin Human Services Planning Board (now doing
business as -Suburb~ Alliance') has been in existence for over 23
years. During that ~e the agency has adv~a~ed, planned,
coordinatea and delivered direct se~ices in the h~n se~ices
arena. It has had a posi=ive impact on eve~ one of the twenty-one
me,er municipali=ies from western ~ennepin County that subscribe
to the joint powers agreement from which ~t was created. It has
also benefitted ~on-me~er municipalities and assisted ~housanas of
individuals. These have incluaed diverse m~ers of the co--unity
such as senior citizens needing =ransportation =o 1~ income
me,ers needing assistance and direction in such areas as finding
job, obtaining eme=gency assistance and peer counselling. A
service directo~published by the agency reached 40,000 people and
became a staple reference ~or local police departments to advise
people in need of social se~ice assistance as to where to go.
Because of its unique ~osition within the h~an se~icee
co.unity Suburban Alliance has also been asked to~ nurture
fledgling non-profi~ organi=ations~ directly a~inister Ener~
Assistance dollars on behalf o~ the state and ~eral gover~ents~
and act as the ~iscal agen~ for various other hu~n s~rvice
oTgani~ations that did not have the resources ~o hire and~intain
sufficient staf~ of their ~.
~er ~he last ~wo years Suburban Alliance has endured a
continuous onslaught of changes and setbacks in its financia~
picture. First, it lost its free office space in St. Louis Park.
In Augus= o~ 1994 it moved to its pre~ent location in Hopkins at a
rent currently acc~ing at $3,000 per month.
Second, Suburban Alliance learned in lace 1994 =hat its long
standing executive director intended to resign. The agency is
governed by an all volunteer board consisting of appointees from
its various signatory cities, associated humans service agencies/
organizations and members at large.
A new director was hired in early 1995. There were
contemporaneous indications from Washington that there would be
unspecified cutbacks in BnergyAssistance funding. For the fiscal
year 1993-94 the Energy Assistance contract involved the
administration of 2.5 million dollars. For 1995 it was slightly
over one million dollars and it may go below six figures for 1996-
97. These funding cutbacks have adversely affected the agency's
internal budget dollars because it cause~ shrinkage in
administrative overhead funds.
In 1995 Suburban Alliance also lost two agencies for which it
had been fiscal agent. This meant that funds Suburban Alliance had
held for their benefit had to be repaid causing even more pressure
on its cash flow and financial reserves. It also meant loss of
additional income associated with the administration of their
contracts.
As these events unfolded the board was not able to react
quickly enough. Much of this was due to the lack of critical
financial data. The complexity of the agency's functions and
accounting methods also tended to mask flnanciml problems. Past
audits, including the 1994 audit, had not revealed any serious
problems. Consequently, business tended to continue as usual.
By late 1995 financial demands began to emerge which made it
apparent that the agency would have to substantially reduce its
administrative costs. This step was taken in the form of lay-offs,
salary reductions and other cost reducing actions. The board's
reaction was insufficient to meet the financial problems that were
converging and compounding themselves. In early 1996 additional
staff was laid off. In May of 1996 the executive director
resigned. The agency has operated since early May, 1996, with a
skeleton staff. Its board chair, Steve Mumma, has assumed, for ell
intents and purposes, the role of volunteer executive director
assisted by other board members in various roles. There have been
numerous financial reforms instituted. Checks and balances have
been installed to help ensure that the agency will react more
quickly to financial pressures. A search for a replacement
executive director has begun. The agency is being assisted in this
process by a to9 General Mills executive offered to it through
MAPP.
The 1995 audit confirms that the agency over spent its revenue
by approximately $78,000. Hennepin County is fully aware of the
problem and has been provided with a copy of the agency's 1995
audit. The audit shows no illegality or wrongdoing, but does
explain the nature and scope of the shortfall. A 91an of repayment
is being developed.
Throughout these difficulties the board of Suburban Alliance
has remained strong and committed. Support for the agency has been
expressed by its sister agencies such as the Northwest Human
Services Council and Community Action for Suburban Hennepin.
Assuming that accegtab~e assurances and re£orms a=e in place, the
COUnty h&S uxpre~ i~s interest in continuing its planning and
coordination contract and the Emergency Services contract with
Suburban Alliance. The Department of Economic Security, as the
responsible state agency ~or the Energy Assistance program, has
remained supportive.
Suburban Alliance is and will continue to be a vital and
viable asset to the citizens of Hennepin County. Its role may be
redefined in some ways, but its vision will always be the same-
emgowerment o~ ~hose who are economically or socially challenged
through 91anning, coordination and advocacy of appropria~e social
service 9rograme.

a slip size of 10' x 24' is planned, it shall be brought back to the Park Commission for review. They
are recommending that these docks be added to the system. Mr. Behnke, the developer was present.
Hanus questioned staff with regards to clarifying whether there is suitable shoreline left to use in the
computation that Mound can still use within its license with the LMCD. There were questions
regarding the Boat Storage Units (BSU's) and Water Storage Units (WSU's). Council thought the
numbers that were used by the Parks Director were received from the LMCD. Mayor Polston
suggested requesting a letter from the LMCD requesting the number of miles Mound has of Commons
shoreline and the formula they use to calculate how many boats, docks are allowed. Ahrens wanted
to see the Mound Dock Location Map showing our computation of shoreline. Ahrens wanted to see
something on paper from the LMCD and she would also like them to attend the meeting when this is
brought back to the Council.

formula for number of boats and docks for the City of Mound.

MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE
MOUND ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION
JUNE 10, 1996
CASE 96-26: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT- MEYER'S MOUND SERVICE (PUBLIC
HEARING). RICHARD & CONNIE MEYER, 2620 COMMERCE BLVD., LOTS 1, 2, 3 &
S. 1/2 OF 47, 48, 49, BLOCK 9, PID 23-117-24 14 0043 & 0050
Mark Koegler, City Planner, reviewed the Planning Report. As a result of complaints
received about the overall appearance of the property and the number of vehicles
parked on the site, the Building Official determined that the use of the property has
changed substantially over the years without any update or modification of the
conditional use permit. A chronology of the site was reviewed.
The gas pumps have been removed and sale of gasoline has discontinued. It is
assumed that the underground gas tanks are still in place.
It is important that Meyer's Mound Service have a conditional use permit that
accurately reflects the business that is conducted on the site. Since the business has
continued to grow and evolve over the past 15 years without updating the permit,
there are now a number of ordinance requirements that apply to the property. Issues
that need to be addressed in updating the conditional use permit include:
Use of the property. The existing special use permit allows only transmission
repair on the site. Based upon the application, materials submitted, it appears
that the facility qualifies as a minor automobile repair business.
On-site parking. The special use permit which has never been updated limits
parking to one vehicle. The applicant has requested parking for 25 vehicles.
Based on the 'capacity of the off-street parking area, it seems that limiting
parking to 15 vehicles is consistent with the conditions placed on Shoreline
Automotive is reasonable.
Parking lot. The parking area currently has a gravel surface. The Zoning Code
requires that all parking areas and access drives serving commercial property
be paved with bituminous or concrete surfacing. The code also states that
parking lots cannot be located closer than 5 feet from an adjacent lot zoned or
used for residential purposes.
The code also requires fencing along the east side of the parking lot. That
provision requires that "a fence of adequate design, not over five (5) feet in
height nor less than four (4) feet in height shall be erected along the Residential
District property line."
Trash and parts storage. City Code requires the screening of all dumpster
enclosures· The original special use permit prohibited outside storage of parts,
material and other equipment. The existing dumpster as well as all parts
storage needs to be screened.
Staff recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of a
conditional use permit for Meyer's Mound Service as a Minor Automobile Repair
facility subject to the following conditions:
Parking on the site shall be limited to a total of 15 vehicles. All vehicles parked
on the site shall have current vehicle license tabs. The sale of vehicles on the
property is prohibited.
The parking lot on the north side of the building shall be improved consistent
with City ordinance requirements. Said improvement shall include but not be
limited to bituminous surfacing and construction of required fencing.
All trash and parts storage shall be screened. The applicant shall prepare and
submit a screening plan for review and approval by the Mound Building Official.
Any future changes in signage for the business shall comply with the Mound
Sign Ordinance.
§. All vehicle repair activities shall occur inside the building.
Mueller confirmed that other similar businesses used for comparison are Shoreline
Automotive, Mound Collision and the old Arco (now-Glass Plus).
Koegler confirmed that within the B-1 zone, minor auto repair is allowed by conditional
use permit, and commented that the applicant can address what nature of repairs are
done on-site, but believes it is consistent with the definition of minor auto repair.
Chair Michael opened the public hearing.
Steve Kladstrup, owner of 5668 Bartlett Blvd. which is located two houses to the east
expressed a concern about future expansion of the business. Koegler noted that the
surrounding property is zoned residential and this type of use is not allowed in a
residential zone.
Kladstrup noted that Meyer's repaired a broken timing belt on his car two weeks ago
and noted that this is the type of work they do.
Kladstrup stated that when the wind comes from the west trash from Meyer's blows
into his property, and he has a collection of this trash to prove it. He feels that
expansion of the business would have a detrimental affect on the neighborhood.
Tom Reese, owner of 5641 Bartlett Blvd., stated that he feels the station provides a
service to the community and it deserves to remain, but that it should be maintained
so it is a benefit to Mound. He agrees with the planning report, however, feels 15
cars is a bit strong. He would suggest ten cars, otherwise he supports the rest of the
report. He is also concerned about the signage as it is out of date. there is a concern
in the neighborhood that this business be updated and made current.
Richard Meyer, owner of the station, stated that when the complaint about the
number of cars was received by the City was when it was very cold weather. He
would like the Planning Commission to consider his request for 25 cars. Today they
had 16 cars parked outside and there was room for more. In the winter he needs to
be able to park more cars.
Relating to condition #5, he stated that he would like the flexibility to allow quick
repairs outdoors, such as replacing a fuse or a tire. He has no other concerns with the
report.
Relating to parking, he emphasized that he has four employees and himself, so five of
the cars parked outside are the employee's vehicles which would only allow for ten
customer vehicles. He stated that they rarely have more than five or ten cars parked
overnight on the lot as most people drop off their vehicles a leave them during the day
while they go to work.
Chair Michael closed the public hearing.
Mueller agreed that incidental repairs, such as replacing a fuse or a tire outside should
not be a problem. He would be concerned about engine work being done outside.
Mueller asked Mr. Meyer if he is okay with the condition relating to bituminous
surfacing. Meyer said this condition is okay, however, expressed a concern about
hardcover requirements. Koegler noted that this property is clearly in the shoreland
district, and the property is limited to 30% hardcover, however, the current use
existed in its current form since the early 80's, and gravel is viewed the same as
bituminous by ordinance, so it would not be considered a change.
Meyer confirmed that when the fuel tanks are removed, the island will also be
removed.
Voss asked what will happen if they violate this conditional use permit, and noted that
the property has been in violation for the last 10 years. Sutherland noted that after
they have been through this process, he will have a better relationship with the
owners,
Mueller questioned if there should be screening abutting 110. Voss suggested that
screening may promote theft and vandalism. Koegler confirmed that screening is
required only on the east side where it abuts residentially "zoned" property, and
agreed that a fence on. the street side may be more obtrusive than seeing a neatly
organized parking lot. Clapsaddle noted that fences just get dilapidated.
Voss suggested they could limit the number of vehicles stored on the property at
night. Hanus agreed that this could be done and stated that the Council approved
three vehicles to be parked outside at Glass Plus overnight. Koegler noted that the
Council had also required a one year review period for Glass Plus and this could be
done for Meyer's.
Weiland asked if there is a law that states when the gas tanks have to be removed
once gas sales have discontinued. Sutherland noted that this would be a PCA or Fire
Code, he thinks it is one year, but he can check. Meyer stated that he will take out
the tanks this September and that the tanks are now empty.
Meyer stated that he could easily park 25 cars on the north side of the building. He
confirmed that repairs are done strictly on automobiles, there are no boat motor or
snowmobile repairs done at the station.
Weiland suggested they could limit parking to the north side of the building only.
Voss expressed a concern about being consistent with what has been approved for
other similar stations. Hanus commented that they also need to be careful not to
restrict the growth of a business.
Clapsaddle reviewed his concerns. Michael clarified with staff that there have been
only about three complaints on this property in 13 years. Michael asked Mr. Kladstrup
about the type of trash he finds on his property from .~/Jeyer's. Mr. Kladstrup clarified

etc. in his yard. Mueller stated the fence would help prevent garbage from blowing
that way. Mueller asked if the fence would be placed on the top of the slope, and
asked where is the property line is in relationship to the slope? Koegler stated that
fortunately Meyer also owns the adjacent property, so he could put the fence on top
of the slope if it is not on the gas station property.
MOTION made by Mueller to recommend to the City Council that staff
recommendation be approved with the conditions, including the following
modifications:
Overnight parking on the site shall be limited to the area
north of the structure.

shall have current vehicle license tabs. The sale of vehicles

applicant·
Motion seconded by Voss. Motion carried unanimously.
This case will be reviewed by the City Council on July 9, 1996.

PLANNING REPORT
TO: Mound Planning Commission and Staff
FROM: Mark Koegler, City Planner
DATE: June 5, 1996
SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit
APPLICANT: Richard R. And Connie L. Meyer
CASE NUMBER: 96-26
HKG FILE NUMBER: 96-50
LOCATION: 2620 Commerce Boulevard
EXISTING ZONING: Central Business District (B-1)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Commercial
BACKGROUND: This item has been placed on the Planning Commission and City Council agendas
as a result of complaints received about the overall appearance of the property and the number of
vehicles parked on the site at various times. Upon receipt of the complaints, the Building Official
examined the property file and determined that the use of the property has changed substantially over
the years without any update or modification of the conditional use permit. From City records, the
following is a brief chronology of the site:
In October of 1979, the City of Mound approved a special (conditional) use permit for the
property that allowed the operation of an automobile transmission repair facility with
conditions that included no outside storage of parts, material and equipment; limited lighting;
and no more than one car stored outside. At the time of the approval, the facility was
operated (presumably owned) by Mr. Craig Olson. Mr. Olson was notified in November of
1979 that neighbors expressed concern about the appearance of the property.
In February of 1985, Jan Bertrand, the Mound Building Official notified Mr. Meyer that he
would need to secure a new conditional use permit due to changes in the business operation
that included the repair of snowmobiles and exterior storage on the site. There is no record

Meyer Conditional Use Permit Planning Report

Page 2
of any application being made at the time nor is there any further correspondence between
Ms. Bertrand and Mr. Meyer.
In December of 1985, the Meyers purchased the residential property adjacent to the auto
service facility and on May 15, 1987, the City of Mound issued a demolition permit for the
home that was located on the lot. The house was subsequently demolished and became a
vacant site that is currently used for vehicle parking. City records indicate that the residential
property abutting the auto service facility on the east side is also owned by Mr. and Mrs.
Meyer.
Another change that is obvious in looking at the property is that at some point in the past, the gas
pumps were removed and the sale of gasoline was discontinued. It is assumed that the underground
gas tanks are still in place. The City is unaware of any time schedule for their removal.
COMMENT: It is important that Meyer's Mound Service have a conditional use permit that
accurately reflects the business that is conducted on the site. Since the business has continued to
grow and evolve over the past 15 years without updating the permit, there are now a number of
ordinance requirements that apply to the property. Some of the requirements can be met with
minimal cost and others will be more costly to implement. Therefore, the City may want to consider
allowing the owner to phase any required improvements over a multiple year basis.
The following is an overview of the issues that need to be addressed in updating the conditional use
permit:
Use of the Property
The existing special use permit allows only transmission repair on the site. Based on the types of
repair that have traditionally occurred on the property since it was acquired by Mr. and Mrs. Meyer,
the current use fits within the minor automotive repair classification of the ordinance. Minor
automobile repair is identified as "the replacement of any part or repair of any part which does not
require the removal of the engine head or pan, engine, transmission or differential; incidental body
and fender work, minor painting and upholstering service when said service above is applied to
passenger automobiles and trucks not in excess of 7,000 pounds gross vehicle weight." Any types
of service more intensive than those defined as minor automobile repair are classified in the code as
major automobile repair. Major automobile repair facilities are not allowed in the B-1 zone.
Based upon the application materials submitted, it appears that the facility qualifies as a minor
automobile repair business.
Meyer Conditional Use Permit Planning Report
June 5, 1996

On-Site Parking
The number of vehicles parked on the site has been the subject of public complaint. The special use
permit which has never been updated limits parking to one vehicle. The applicant has requested
parking for 25 vehicles. He further stated that maximum use of parking is likely to occur only on
extremely hot and cold days which result in increases in business activities.
In looking at defining a reasonable amount of parking to support the business, two factors need to
be considered. First, the business is located in a prominent location in Mound's commercial area and
it is very visible to the public. Therefore, appearance is an important issue. Second, the business has
two repair bays which is common in other automobile repair businesses in Mound. Therefore, it is
appropriate to examine parking limits placed on those businesses compared to the Meyer's Mound
Service site.
The most recent conditional use permit approved for an automotive service facility was the one for
Shoreline Automotive that was approved by the City Council in 1995. That permit limits the total
number of vehicles on the site to 15. Like Meyer's Mound Service, Shoreline Automotive has two
repair bays, however, the Shoreline Automotive site is substantially larger than the one owned by Mr.
and Mrs. Meyer.
During a recent site visit, there were 12 vehicles parked on the property including a tow truck and
an empty boat trailer. Based on the capacity of the off-street parking area, it seems that limiting
parking to 15 vehicles consistent with the conditions placed on Shoreline Automotive is reasonable.
Parking Lot
The residential property that was demolished in 1985 is now used for parking to support the business.
The parking area currently has a gravel surface. Section 350:760 of the Zoning Code requires that
all parking areas and access drives serving commercial property be paved with bituminous or concrete
surfacing. The ordinance also contains other provisions that apply to commercial parking lots.
Section 350:760, Subd. 1 D. states that parking lots can not be located closer than 5 feet from an
adjacent lot zoned or used for residential purposes. The lots located both north and east of the
Meyer's property are used for residential purposes. Section 350:760, Subd. 3 D. requires fencing
along the east side of the parking lot. That provision requires that "a fence of adequate design, not
over five (5) feet in height nor less than four (4) feet in height shall be erected along the Residential
District property line."
Trash and Parts Storage
At the present time, trash is stored on the site in a dumpster that sits along the west side of the
building. Tires are stored at the rear of the building in an open rack and bins are located on the north
Meyer Conditional Use Permit
June 5, 1996
Page 4
side of the building to accommodate old car parts such as mufflers, tail pipes, etc. None of the trash
or dumpster storage is screened. City Code requires the screening of all dumpster enclosures. The
original special use permit for this site prohibited outside storage of parts, material and other
equipment. The existing dumpster as well as all parts storage needs to be screened. Screening has
been a common requirement for similar businesses such as Glass Plus and Shoreline Automotive.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of
a conditional use permit for Meyer's Mound Service as a Minor Automobile Repair facility subject
to the following conditions:
1. Parking on the site shall be limited to a total of 15 vehicles. All vehicles parked on the site shall
have current vehicle license tabs. The sale of vehicles on the property is prohibited.
The parking lot on the north side of the building shall be improved consistent with City ordinance
requirements. Said improvements shall include but not be limited to bituminous surfacing and
construction of required fencing.
3. All trash and parts storage shall be screened. The applicant shall prepare and submit a screening
plan for review and approval by the Mound Building Official.
4. Any future changes in signage for the business shall comply with the Mound Sign Ordinance.
5. All vehicle repair activities shall occur inside the building.

SUBJECT: MEYER'S PEOPLES PLUS SERVICE
Dear Mr. Meyer:
Thank you for your time on the phone the other day discussing your business
operation and the application of the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) that was issued in
1979. Our conversation was generated due to a recent complaint referring to an
excessive number of vehicles parked on the site. As we discussed, the CUP was
issued to the previous owner and you have been conducting your auto repair business
without significant change for about 15 years. The only change that I am aware of
is the removal of gas pumps sometime in 1995 and this has allowed you a little extra
parking space. Your current business is minor auto repair which is a conditional use
in the B-1 Zone.
The attached copy of the CUP issued in 1979 is not applicable today as it only allows
for one vehicle to be stored outside, therefore, you must update the permit to
accurately reflect your present use. The CUP process is outlined in the enclosed
application. Our City Planner will prepare a staff report, which will be reviewed by the
Planning Commission, then they will make a recommendation to the City Council who
will take final action.
Please contact myself or Peggy James of this department if you would like to go over
the application. Note, the application deadline of March 21, 1996 that we discussed.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Meyer:
I am writing you to remind you of our conversation regarding your
business operation conditional use permit restrictions for your prop-
erty at 2620 Commerce Boulevard. On January 14, 1985, we met to go
over the procedure for filing an amended conditional use permit to
allow some revisions to your current business operation.
To date, I have not received an application to resolve the sale and
repair of snowmobiles, the exterior storage on the site, and certain
site limitations. We need to clarify the present use within the next
few weeks. The next Planning Commission Board of Appeals meeti.ng is
April 8, 1985. I will need the application, site plan, fee and prop-
erty owners' list submitted to my office by March 20, 1985. I have
enclosed, 'for your convenience, the application and the zoning ordi-
nance provisions of the B-1 district (Pages 41 & 42 with Pages 25

'~J~ OF LOTS I & 32, SKARP & LINDQUI~I S RAVENSWOOD, PID 18-117-23
City Planner, Mark Koegler, reviewed the Planning Report. The applicant is seeking
variances to construct a garage addition, decks, and a second story addition.
Northern Road is one of the tightest neighborhood areas in the City of Mound. The
land area is limited by the location of the lakeshore and the County Road. Variances
will be necessary in this area to afford property owners reasonable use of their land.
The following addresses each of the variance issues applicable to this case:
1. Front Yard Setback - the plan shows a new attached garage with second story
living space located on the front of the lot approximately .7 feet from the
property line resulting in a 19.3 foot variance. The garage door opens to the
side lot line eliminating the need to directly back into Northern Road. The face
of the proposed garage door is approximately 28 feet from the western property
line.
Although the proposed garage is extremely close to the street, there is no
reasonable method of locating a conforming garage on the lot. The proposed
depth of the garage (22') is not excessive and as evidenced by materials stored
along the side of the home, a garage is needed for storage. Upon approval and
commencement of construction, an existing storage shed on the lot will be
removed.
Side Yard Setback - the west side of the existing home is located 5.9 feet from
the lot line which is .1 feet under the 6 foot requirement. Relocation of the
existing structure to a conforming location is not recommended by staff since
it would qualify as a "practical difficulty" situation.
Lakeshore Setback - It appears from the plans that the existing deck will either
be reconstructed or modified to remove a small appendage that extends
towards Lake Minnetonka. At its closest point, the deck is approximately 47
feet from the lake which is under the 50 foot setback requirement. Since it
appears that the deck will be either rebuilt or modified, the deck should be
brought into conformance with the lakeshore setback requirement. The deck
that is shown on the plans on the second level of the home conforms to
setback requirements.
Floodplain Elevation - According to the survey, the elevation of the lowest
finished floor of the home is 932.77 and the structure has a crawl space that
is at an elevation of 929.04. Both these elevations are under the minimum
floodplain elevation for Lake Minnetonka which is 933.0. The proposed
improvements constitute a maior reconstruction of the existing home. In
previous cases of a similar nature, conditions of approval have included raising
the floor elevations above the minimum flood~evel. Raise the elevation of the
floors of this home would also be appropriate.
In addition to the floodplain elevation issue, the entire lot is located within the
existing floodplain. As such, it will require Watershed District approval of the
minor amount of fill necessary to construct the garage and raise the floor
elevation. The applicant will also need to prepare a detailed grading and
drainage plan identifying pertinent elevations and showing compensation
measures as applicable.
The proposed improvements will substantially upgrade the existing home while
affording the owner reasonable use of the property. Staff recommended that the
Planning Commission recommend approval of the front yard setback and side yard
setback variances subject to the following conditions:
The floor elevation of the existing home shall be raised to a minimum elevation
of 933.0.
The applicant shall prepare a grading and drainage plan for review and approval
by the City Engineer. Said plan shall contain contours and spot elevations
necessary to permit a full assessment of the grading impacts of the proposed
improvements including, but not limited to compensation measures to comply
with floodplain requirements.
The applicant shall secure required approvals by the watershed district and
other applicable agencies.
Construction of new improvements shall be in conformance with the Mound
floodplain regulations.
5. The existing storage shed shall be removed from the property.
The Commission confirmed that staff is recommending the existing house be raised
.23 feet. Staff clarified that if more than 50% of house is being altered, the existing
is required to be brought into conformance. Sutherland noted that this case was
reviewed with the DNR, and there are some acceptable methods of construction by
allowing the floodplain to come into a crawl space, however, to get through this
process they would need a civil engineer to prepare the plans.
Weiland expressed a concern about snow removal and asked where the snow will go
when they plow the street. Koegler commented that fortunately, in this area, the
other side of the road is undeveloped, and therefore the snow can be directed to one
side of the street, away from the garages.
Weiland stated that this property would be over-built and considers this proposal as
over- usage of the property.
Hanus asked if the size of the garage could be reduced to be only 20 feet wide, which
would allow for 2 more feet on the street side. Mueller commented that a 22 foot
wide garage is not bad, and noted they have dealt with similar situations on
Ridgewood, Edgewater, and Island View, and this property has the benefit of being
able to push snow to the other side of the street. He feels this is a good
improvement.
Reifschneider stated that there are options that would be less encroaching, such as
building a second story all the way across with a tuckunder garage. The owner stated
that he wants to keep the vaulted ceiling in the existing portion of the home and noted
that this home is a log house on the inside, and does not want to disturb the existing
logs.
Clapsaddle commented that this situation is the nature of the neighborhood.
Clapsaddle moved staff recommendation. Mueller seconded the motion.
Motion failed 4 to 5. ThOse in favor were: Clapsaddle, Michael, Mueller,
and Hanus. Those opposed were Reifschneider, Weiland, Voss, Glister,
and Burma.
Motion made by Voss to recommend denial of the variance as requested.
'~. Motion seconded by Glister. Motion to deny carried 5 to 4. Those in
,// favor were: Reifschneider, Weiland, Voss, Glister, and Burma. Those
opposed were Clapsaddle, Michael, Mueller, and Hanus.
This case will be reviewed by the City Council on June 25, 1996.

FROM: Mark Koegler, City Planner
DATE: June 5, 1996
SUBJECT: Variances
APPLICANT: Raymond Baylor
CASE NUMBER: 96-32
HKG FILE NUMBER: 96-5k
LOCATION: 4790 Northern Road
EXISTING ZONING: Single Family Residential (R-IA)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Residential
BACKGROUND: The applicant is seeking variances to substantially improve an existing home.
Proposed construction includes a new garage, decks, and a second story addition over the garage and
portions of the existing residence. The second story addition will contain bedrooms and bathrooms.
Construction of the proposed improvements will require the issuance of front and side yard variances
and the case presents lakeshore setback and floodplain nonconformities that must be addressed.
COMMENT: Northern Road is one of the tightest neighborhood areas in the City of Mound. The
land area is limited by the locations of the lakeshore and the County Road. Because of natural and
man-made constraints, it is virtually impossible to add land area to any of the lots in the
neighborhood. As a result, variances will be necessary in this area to afford property owners
reasonable use of their land.
The following addresses each of the variance issues applicable to this case:
Front Yard Setback - The plans show a new attached garage with second story living space
located on the front of the lot approximately .7 feet from the property line resulting in a 19.3 foot
variance. The garage door opens to the side lot line eliminating the need to directly back into

portions of Northern Road. The face of the proposed garage door is approximately 28 feet from
the western property line.
Although the proposed garage is extremely close to the street, there is no reasonable method of
locating a conforming garage on the lot. The proposed depth of the garage (22') is not excessive
and as evidenced by materials stored along the side of the home, a garage is needed for storage.
Upon approval and commencement of construction, an existing storage shed on the lot will be
removed.
2. Side Yard Setback - The west side of the existing home is located 5.9 feet from the lot line which
is. 1 feet under the 6 foot requirement. Relocation of the existing structure to a conforming
location is not recommended by staff since it would qualify as a practical difficulty situation.
3. Lakeshore Setback - It appears from the plans that the existing deck will either be reconstructed
or modified to remove a small appendage that extends toward Lake Minnetonka. At its closest
point, the deck is approximately 47 feet from the lake which is under the 50 foot setback
requirement. Since it appears that the deck will be either rebuilt or modified, the deck should be
brought into conformance with the lakeshore setback requirement. The deck that is shown on
the plans on the second level of the home conforms to setback requirements.
4. Floodplain Elevation - According to the survey, the elevation of the lowest finished floor of the
home is 932.77 and the structure has a crawl space that is at an elevation of 929.04. Both of
these elevations are under the minimum floodplain elevation for Lake Minnetonka which is 933.0.
The proposed improvements constitute a major reconstruction of the existing home. In previous
cases of a similar nature, conditions of approval have included raising the floor elevations above
the minimum flood level. Raising the elevation of the floors of this home would also be
appropriate.
In addition to the floodplain elevation issue, the entire lot is located within the existing floodplain.
As such it will require watershed district approval for the minor amount of fill necessary to
construct the garage and raise the floor elevation. The applicant will also need to prepare a
detailed grading and drainage plan identifying pertinent elevations and showing compensation
measures as applicable.
RECOMMENDATION: The proposed improvements will substantially upgrade the existing home
while affording the owner reasonable use of the property. Staff recommends that the Planning
Commission recommend approval of the front yard setback and side yard setback variances subject
to the following conditions:
1. The floor elevation of the existing home shall be raised to a minimum elevation of 933.0.

electric outlet and lights, flag pole and playhouse. Jessen stated she could not approve this
activity on the commons as it is public land and private structures do not belong there. Jensen
stated private buildings do not belong on public lands, nor is she in favor of lights on public
lands. Discussion related to the Commons Task force and pulling this permit off until they make
their recommendations regarding private structures on public land. Ahrens stated the applicant
wanted to repair the stairs and if the total item were pulled from the agenda, they could not
repair them.

**#42314, Coon: As an alternative to the proposed planter box on top of the retaining wall, staff recommends the applicant install plantings/bushes
at the base of retaining wall to screen the wall and also bushes on top of the wall, as outlined in the Shoreland Management Ordinance. Prior to
installation, a plan describing the type of plantings shall be submitted and approved by the Parks Director. Plantings should not block or hinder
access along the commons.
The Parks Director noted that an application was submitted by the adjacent property owner.
Applicant, Stephanie Coon stated that the playhouse is structurally sound, but it needs the trim
painted so it will match the house. She was told when she purchased her house that the
likelihood that playhouse would be allowed to remain would be good because it is structurally
sound. She related the history of the playhouse and noted that the City laid the foundation and
moved it to the commons.
Darling asked if the playhouse would not be a public structure now that it is on public land?
Byrnes emphasized that you have to cross private property in order to get to this commons, so
their stair would not be used by the public. Goode added that this commons is not traversable,
without a stairway.
Fackler commented that staff has not specifed who is required to do the removal, and that they
hope at this time to work out an agreement with the adjacent land owner; if they want to keep
the structure and take responsibility for it or if they do not want to take responsibility for it and
6P,rexfe;,t.hatit berem°ved- Coon emphasized that the playhouse is not alarge structure, itis only
Darling quoted a statement made by Curtis A. Pearson, City Attorney, in a letter to Ed Shukle
dated November 10, 1995, "I would also caution that stairways which are located on public
lands are in effect open to the public's use." Darling questioned if this also applies to other
private structures. Pederson commented that the dock is considered private, and questioned how
this is different than stairs. It was noted that the dock is located in the water, not on land.
Darling also quoted from the same letter, "There is a potential for litigation and even a potential
for a loss where the steps are on public land..."
May 9, 1996
Park and Open Space Commission Minutes
Goode commented that logically, when commons are nonaccessible or nontraversable, structures
should not be considered public. Darling stated that they need to follow rules that are in place
today.
Casey emphasized that there are also scenic and passive uses for the commons, and some people
prefer to view a natural shoreline, rather than a shoreline cluttered with structures.
Byrnes confirmed that Fackler had stated earlier that if an owner assumes responsibility for a
structure it may remain, and then when it gets to a dilapidated state or is destroyed by natural
causes, that it would eventually be removed. Stephanie Coon agreed to assume responsibility
of the playhouse.
Michael Pride, Stephanie Coon's husband, reviewed the plans submitted with their application
which include replacement of the stairway, lights installed on the stairs, repair of the cement
retaining wall, painting the retaining wall, and planting ivy or some other type of vegetation in
front of the wall. Casey asked if they would consider native plantings. Pride commented that
they will work with staff and plant whatever is recommended. It was noted that this is a south
facing hillside which gets a lot of sun. Pride stated that they prefer to keep the flag pole, and
noted that it is bordered with railroad ties, about 3' x 4'.
MOTION by Byrnes, seconded by Ahrens approve a five year permit, as
recommended by staff with the exception that the playhouse and the flag pole
may remain, and that the applicant talk to staff about plantings and the
retaining wall.
Casey commented that they are perpetuating old mistakes by allowing things to remain, and he
agrees with Darling that they need to make policy decisions and determine if these structures
should be considered either public or private, and decide what uses they should allow. Casey
stated that he would oppose the motion, and that he is not in favor of the lights or allowing the
flag pole to remain.
Goode is in favor of allowing the playhouse to remain, however, feels the flag pole is a separate
issue because this area will never look like public land.
Ron McCombs stated that the rest of Lake Minnetonka is not pristine, and asked why Mound
is trying to make the commons look pristine, and emphasized that flag poles are not harmful to
environment.
Casey stated that every City has rules and codes and as a Park Commission they need to
recommend where the line should be drawn. The Shoreland Management Ordinance is one of
these codes which both private and public land must comply with.
Motion carried 4 to 3. Those in favor were: Ahrens, Goode, Byrnes, and
Pederson. Opposed were: Casey, Geffre, and Darling.
Park and Open Space Commission Minutes
May 9, 1996
Ahrens stated that the Council has determined that if an applicant does not agree with staff's
recommendation, that the Council will approve the permit anyway, pending the recommendations
from the Commons Task Force. Ahrens noted that the Commons task force is still meeting on
the issue of encroachments.
Darling moved that the City look at all nontraversable or nonaccessible
commons that are not private and look at selling or leasing these commons
to the adjacent property owners. Geffre seconded motion.
Byrnes stated that the City does not own commons, so they cannot sell it. In order to vacate
any land it has to be proven to be in the public's best interest to do so. Ahrens suggested that
adjacent property owners could lease the commons. Darling questioned if it is realistic for the
City to manage the commons when their is no public use.
Jim reminded Commission how this type of action may affect the dock program. It was
discussed how the lineal footage of public land affects the number of docks in the program.
Casey would like to keep control of the shoreline and attempt to regain the beautiful natural
shoreline they once had. He commented that the Shoreland Management Ordinance was
mandated because the shorelines have become overdeveloped and it should be a public policy
to protect this land from degradation.
Goode suggested they hold off on Darling's motion until the commons task force finishes their
review and recommendation regarding encroachments. Darling clarified that the intent for his
motion is not to arbitrarily sell land, but to start the process of researching the possibility,
understand the legal ramifications, and see if it makes sense.
Byrnes stated that the Commons Task Force has been directed by Council to address the issue
of encroachments on the commons.
Motion failed with 3 in favor, 3 opposed, and 1 abstention. Those voting in
favor were Pederson, Darling, and Geffre, those opposed were Byrnes, Casey
and Goode. Ahrens abstained.
Ahrens explained that she will abstain anytime the Park Commission sends forward a
recommendation to the Council regarding and issue such as this.

MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
ED SHUKLE, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: REQUEST FROM MOUND FIRE RELIEF ASSOCIATION
Attached is a letter from the M~Suh~IFire Relief Association requesting an increase in the pension
benefit currently received. The ~urre-~nt benefit is $425 per month. Each firefighter must have
served 20 years or more before receiving the pension benefit. The benefit is part of the incentive
to recruit firefighters and to keep them around for 20 ye~sbefore they retire. The hourly rate of
pay that a firefighter now receives is $6.~50_.per hour which is P~]3;-i/~I'~ at a Iow rate so that
the firefighters can have funds allocat&d to the pension program. In 1996, we increased that
hourly rate to $6.50 per hour from $6.00 per hour. That rate had not been increased since 1984.
Thus, the association has rightfully asked for an increase in their pension benefit.
We have reviewed the request and have determined it to be in order. We do have some concerns,
however, relating to the unfunded accrued liability. Section 69.773, Subdivision 4 of Minnesota
Statutes, states that the contribution requirement is equal to the normal cost, expenses and
amortization of the unfunded accrued liability by December 31, 2007. In other words, the
contributions must continually be increased so that by 12/31/2007, the unfunded accrued liability
must be zeroed out and the liability will be erased.
We have discussed this concern with the President of the Association and he has conveyed our
concern to the remainder of the Board of Directors. In addition, we have expressed concern
regarding other pension issues and it is the intent of City staff and the Mound Fire Relief
Association Board of Directors to continue to work on those issues to come up with a carefully
planned strategy to deal with those issues into the future.

monies that are invested by the association, are at an adequate level to cover a pension benefit
increase of $35. The benefit would then be at $460 per month effective July 1, 1996.
We have attached a Resolution for your approval regarding the increase in the pension benefit. If
you have any questions, representatives of the Fire Relief Association Board of Directors will be
present at Tuesday's meeting or you can contact Gino Businaro, Finance Director or myself.

Dear Jeff:
It has been my distinct honor to serve as your State Representative. I
have worked hard to keep in touch with you, believing as I do, that I was
elected to do your will, not my own.
You have a right to be kept informed of issues by your public.servants.
Now that the 1996 legislative session is over, I want to let you know
what happened with fire service issues.
On a couple of issues: assault on a firefighter has been raised to a
felony. House File 2136 was incorporated in the final omnibus
crime/judiciary finance bill which has been signed into law by the
Governor. It provides that whoever assaults a municipal or volunteer
firefighter, such that the assault inflicts demonstrable bodily harm, is
guilty of a felony and can be sentenced to imprisonment and/or a fine.
On pensions/I was co-author of the 1996 Omnibus Public Pension bill,
House File 2417, and I worked to improve the funding of firefighter
pensions. When I was your mayor in Mound from 1986 through 1990 and as
State Representative, I have been able to help put into practice my
belief. And that is, that one of the ways to get and keep good volunteer
firefighters, is to provide good pensions.
One thing the citizens of our communities do not do often enough .is
simply say "thank you" to the members of the fire department. But we
know that when we dial 911, you will leave your family to come and
protect ours. So for that, and on behalf of our communities and our
state, I want to simply say "thank you"
You have my support and you will continue to have it.
Please read the enclosed letter from the Minnesota State Fire Chiefs'
Association.

MINIJTES OF A M'V. ETING
JUNE 13, 1996
NEW DOCK LOCATI NS - LONGFORD ROAD continued discussion
Parks Director, Jim Fackler informed the Commission that he has reviewed this issue with Greg
Nybeck of the LMCD regarding the acceptance of these docks under their code. Faclder
reviewed the letter from the LMCD dated June 5, 1996 and explained that the LMCD allows
for one boat for each 50 feet of shoreline, and these docks could be added to the City's 1997
renewal application for our multiple dock license.
Ann Jepson, owner of one of the two existing docks in question, stated they would be happy to
comply with any rules, but they do not want to become part of a shared common dock with the
neighbors. They do not want their decision to delay the installation of their neighbors docks.
They are happy about the neighborhood being improved, but requested their dock be dealt with
separately. She explained their dock is the one on the far east.
The Parks Director noted that a survey would determine if their dock is actually on Longford
Road or on private shoreline. If it is found their dock is on Longford Road, it would become
part of the commons dock program, and would remain a single dock assigned to their home.
Pederson confirmed with the Jepson's they have no problem becoming part of the dock program.
(Ahrens arrived)
Ahrens questioned if they are allowed to go over the 448 docks as the City is licensed for
through the LMCD. The Parks Director explained that they are allowed to have one restricted
watercraft for each 50 feet of continuous shoreline. Since Mounds shoreline is not continuous,
the code allows Boat Storage Units (BSU's) provided the total number of BSU's for the city
multiple dock license does not exceed one restricted watercraft for every 50 feet of shoreline.
Faclder noted that Mound has more than enough available BSU's based on lineal footage and
there is enough lineal footage along Longford Road to handle the number of boats proposed.
Fackler clarified that BSU's are the number of boats, and WSU's are based on boat length. For
example, one larger boat may count as 1.5 or 2 WSU's.
Ahrens stated that right now there are 448 dock sites and each dock is allowed 4 boats, and
fight now that is their privilege. Fackler commented that it is not likely that each dock will have
4 boats, but it is more likely that the size of the boats could increase, and as boats grow, the
units diminish
Geffre questioned the size of the proposed multiple docks and questioned if dredging will be
n~_..ded? Fackler stated that no dredging will be needed. Fackter noted that the two-slip dock
will be about 39 feet wide.
Fackler confn-med that staff's recommendation is to have this area designated as a Type C
Shoreline.
Geffre questioned if they are reviewing both proposed docks as one proposal. Faclder
emphasized that it is less costly to process these docks on one application through the DNR, and
the survey costs are also less. Fackler confunned there would be a total of nine new dock sites
on the two multiple docks and up to three other individual dock sites.
Akrens requested clarification regarding BSU's and WSU's. Fackler explained that the City's
LMCD Multiple Dock License is based on WSU's, and he reviewed the numbers from ther 1995
application:
BSU' s_
WSU's
305 boats up to 20' long @ 1 305
145 21' to 24' long @ 1.5 218
34 25' to 32' long @ 2 68
5 33' x 40' long @ 2.5 13,

Fackler cl,a~,ified that based on lineal footage of shoreSne as shown on the Dock Location Map,
1,220 WSU s are allowed. He will find out exactly how many lineal feet this dev~opment will.
k~ !~2! when the survey is completed. Ahrens estimated this area could accommodate 9 boar up
tx,~.o~20 feet long. '
Pederson asked if this area would be considered marsh land and nontraversible. Faclder agreed
that it could be. Pederson referred to the Use Plan which describes Wildlife Areas as "marsh
land and nontraversible," and questioned how this area differs from other Type E areas. The
Parks Director stated that the Park Commission could recommend this area be designated as
Type E, however, a request was received for docks, not for a Wildlife Area.
Akrens commented that it is possible to traverse on foot down to the shoreline.
that the steep portion of this property is actually located on private land.
recommending stairs or paths as part of this request.
Faclder noted
Staff is not
Ahrens questioned if both the existing docks are in question? Faclder stated that he will not
know until the survey is complete.
Ah.rens referred to the docks within the Lost Lake Subdivision which are all considered public
docks, and the owners within that subdivision are not privy to those docks. Fackler commented
that if these docks were to be open to the public, it would require a walkway easement in order
to establish public access. Fackler noted that the abutting property owners will have priority to
these docks.
Meyer moved to recommend approval of the two multiple docks on Longford
Road, one with 7 slips and one with 2 slips, subject to the condition that
.~ intrusion to the marsh be minimized. Darling seconded the motion.
Ahrens questioned how many dock applications were refunded this year because there were no
sites available. The Dock Inspector noted that less than 20 were refunded, which is about
average for the last three years.
Darling commented that as much as we want to protect the lake, this is a community lake, and
homes are being built, so we have to ask what is reasonable?
Steve Behnke, representing the developer noted that one of the owners of the new houses does
have a larger boat, but they are proposing standard size slips. He stated that they would be
more comfortable if they were able to have a variation of sizes for the slips. Ahrens suggested
they limit the area to a certain number of WSU's.
Ahrens stated that she would vote against the motion as it reads because the motion does not
address payment for the survey of Longford Road. She also feels that since this area is
traversible, docks should be made available to the public.
Pederson asked how many WSU's are alotted for this area? Faclder stated that even if there
was not enough lineal footage in this area to accommodate the number of WSU's proposed, there
is enough lineal footage left over from the entire dock system. He does believe this area would
handle what is proposed.
Geffre expressed a concerned about the size of the dock slips and noted that the two-slip docks
are bigger. Fackler stated that the slip sizes of the new dock on Devon Common are basically
10' x 24'. It was noted that the large boat proposed to be docked at the two-slip dock is 30'
long.
Steve Behnke stated that they are akeady surveying their whole property as it is, and does not
feel they should have to pay for the surveying of other peoples property. Fackler commented
that they did utilize the survey for this property along with surveys of other neighboring
properties in order to complete the entire survey of Longford which helped reduce the cost of
the City's survey.
Ahrens asked if this developer will be paying a park dedication fee? The secretary noted that
they may not, it has not been determined yet. Ahrens again emphasized that the Lost Lake
Subdivision had to give public easement and extra dockage for the public. Relating to paying
for the survey, Ahrens noted that the developer is the main beneficiary of obtaining these docks.
Geffre confirmed with the Parks Director that the City survey would not have been done unless
this development came forth.
Darling suggested a friendly amendment to the motion that the developer shall pay for the costs
incurred by the city for surveying Longford Road. Steve Behnke commented that he would be
in favor of paying for the survey costs if the survey totally related to their work, but the survey
is also of other peoples docks.
Meyer amended the motion to include the following conditions:
1. The developer shall recover the cost to the City for the survey
of Longford Road ($605~00).
When the seven slip dock is planned, the length and width of
each sllp size shall be reviewed, and ff something other than a
slip size of 10' x 24' is planned, it shall be brought back to the
Park Commission for review.
Motion carried 5 to 2.
This request will be forwarded to the City Council on June 25, 1996.

_NEW DOCK LOCATIONS - LONGFORD ROAD
Parks Director, Jim Faclder, reviewed his memorandum. Currently, two homes are being built
at 4622 and 4626 Kildare Road and another seven home sites are proposed for development on
Kildare Road in the near future. Their location adjoins the unimproved Longford Road which
is dry land above the Ordinary High Water elevation of 929.4. This land is under City con~ol
and lies between these home sites and Lake Minnetonkz.
There has been a request from the builder and future home owners to have dock locations
established. Because of the marsh that is present where the docks would be located, the City
must obtain a permit from the DNR. From my contact with the DNR this area seems to be in
compliance with their regulations to establish dock sites. Their main concern is if the marsh is
recognized as a protected fish spawning area, which it is not. The only other request of the
DNR is that the docks limit their intrusion through the marsh. As you can see from the
proposed plans, both sites have been consolidated to accomplish this. An application has to be
submitted to the DN-R along with applicable fees and information.
Grog Nybeck, LMCD, believes there will not be a problem adding this area to Mound's Multir~te
Dock and Mooring Area License, we would just have to designate this on our 1997 application.
If these sites are established, the Shoreline Type should be recognized as "Type 'C' on the Dock
Location Map.
The docks would be installed by the homeowners and have multiple slip sites. Each slip should
be recognized as a single docking site with numbering as such. A base fee (currently $150.00)
should be charged each year, per slip, and limited to one watercraft per slip, unless the Dock
Inspector determines that the dock area may accommodate additional boats.
Along with establishing this area, a survey of Longford Road must be done to recognize any
other docks that are utilizing this area for access to the lake. This needs to be done so that the
City is consistent in enforcing regulations of docks on properties under the control of the City.
Ahrens questioned how they can increase the number of docks past 448 without going through
the LMCD or without offsetting that number. Fackler stated that there is enough pubLic
shoreland that was not included in the original linea/footage calculations to accommodate these
additional dock sites. Ahrens questioned if they will need to take 9 dock sites away from
somewhere else in order to add these 9. Ahrens feels they need to investigate this proposal
further with the LMCD. Faclder emphasized that Grog Nybeck reviewed this issue with Gene
Strommen, past Director of the LMCD and they did not think there would be a problem with
the proposal. He also noted that the LMCD looks at boat count, not dock site count.
Tom Stokes of Fine Line Development stated that these properties will be taxed as though they
are lakeshore, so these properties should be eligible for a dock. He asked the Park Commission
to approve the docks, subject to them meeting the requirements of other agencies.
Doug Ripie, future owner of one of the houses currently under construction, stated that they
designed the proposed dock to have least amount of impact on the lake.
Goode asked if it wouldn't be better to relinquish Longford Road to the adjacent land owners?
Do we need more commons.'? Pederson agreed, and emphasized that the property is not
traversable, and there will never be a road there.
Park and Open Space Cortm~sion Minutes

°o
Casey asked if the developer is paying the application f~s to the DNR? Fackter stated that the
City would pay the application fee, however, this would be regained through the dock license
fees. Fackler confirmed that he would expect the land survey to cost about $1,000, and this
would be paid from the dock fund.
MOTION by Darling to recommend approval of the multiple dock plan, as
submitted, pending approval and compliance of any and all government
agencies. Goode seconded the motion.
Casey commented that the City is under no obligation to provide landowners with docks. He
sees this area as a beautiful bluff, and asked if they should compromise their space to allow for
docks in the marsh? He is concerned that they would be adding docks in a small channel that
is pinched already.
The two existing docks located on Longford Road were discussed.
Casey questioned how Crescent Park was designated as a wildlife area?
Darling withdraw his motion because he thou~t the two existing docks were
going to be replaced with this one new multiple dock.
Pete Buckner, future owner of one of the houses currently under construction, stated that instead
of two new docks, they are proposing one joint dock, and asked why this is an issue?
Geffre asked Fackler if the other two docks are actually on Longford Road. Fackler beleived
they could be, but it was not cost effective at the time to survey the property, but now because
of new surveys provided to the City from a developer, he realized that it is all public shoreline
so now they should add it to the dock program. It is kis intent to bring the whole area into
compliance. Goode asked if it would not be better to have one multiple dock for all. Fac!der
noted that access to the dock would be an issue.
Byrnes was excused from the meeting.
Tom Stokes emphasized that these people own the land on the other side of Longford Road, even
though it is underwater, and this property will be part of a Homeowners Association. Fackler
asked where do you draw the line? Ahrens asked how many other people own private land on
the other side of their commons?
Casey moved to deny the two new docks sites as proposed.
The Commission asked what action will be taken with the two existing docks? Should they be
brought into the program? Ahrens asked what will justify the expense of the survey if the new
docks are denied? Faclder stated that he received substantial evidence that public land existed,
should he ignore it?
Park and Open Space Commission Minutes
May 9, 1996
Goode noted that some portions of the shoreline did abut private property and asked if the
LMCD would suppor~ the placement of a private dock at these points. FacPder commented that
the LMCD may have a concern regarding setbacks. He stated that the LMCD requires 50 feet
of shoreline per boat, but offered to check with them on the issue.
Ahrens stated she is not opposed to property that abuts the shoreline to have docks, but is
opposed to having docks added to the program that do not have approval from the LMCD and
she does not believe Greg Nybeck gave approval. She does not believe that the lineal footage
was never computed in original permit. Fackder stated that the lineal footage has been increased
over the years, the City has gained Lost Lake and the area off of Denbigh. Ahrens would like
to confirm that the LMCD would allow this. She is concerned that if they surpass the number
of 4~8 dock sites, what would prevent them from adding 20 sites to the new multiple dock by
Pembroke Park or other areas? She does not want to set a precedent.
Motion failed 5 to 1. Those in favor of denial were Goode, Geffre, Darling,
Ahrens, and Pederson. Casey was opposed.
MOTION made by Ahrens, seconded by Darling, to table this request until
further information is received from the LMCD. Motion carried
unanimously.
The Commission clarified the information they want from the LMCD: saturation point?
maximum number of docks? can docks be ins~led on shoreline which is less than 50 feet wide?
Regarding the two existing docks, Faclder commented that this area is not recognized on the
Dock Location Map as a docking area, at this time. He would like to see this entire area
addressed.
Casey moved to extend meeting 15 minutes past 10:00. Motion seconded by
Goode. Motion carried unanimously.

New Dock Site Locations - Long. ford Road
Currently, two homes are being built at 4622 and 4626 Kildare Road and another seven home
sites are proposed for development on Kildare Road in the near future. Their location adjoins
the unimproved Longford Road which is dry land above the Ordinary High Water elevation of

approximately six weeks to be processed by the DNR.
I will include all the proposed dock sites on one application to the DNR. The fee that is
required by the DNR would be less with one application.
I have also been in contact with Greg Nybeck, LMCD, regarding the addition of this area to
Mound's Multiple Dock and Mooring Area License. He believes there will not be a problem
adding this area and that we would just have to designate it on our 1997 application. There will
be no additional charge by the LMCD for Mound's Multiple Dock License until there are boats
stored at the subject docks.

Generally we do not see additions or changes to the Dock Location Map at this time of year,
however, it is not restricted, as you will note on the attached copy of City Code Section 437:10,
SuM. 2, "Annual Review of Map. The map needs to be reviewed at least once a year."
If these sites are established, the Shoreline Type should be recognized as "Type 'C': Shoreline
with no traversable space; stairs needed to shoreline, not accessible by public right-of-way
(abutting property owners only."
The docks will be installed by the homeowners and have multiple slip sites. Each slip should
be recognized as a single docking site with numbering as such. A base fee (currently $150.00)
should be charged each year, per slip, and limited to one watercraft per slip, unless the Dock

Along with establishing this area, a survey of Longford Road must be done to recognize any
other docks that are utilizing this area for access to the lake. This needs to be done so that the
City is consistent in enforcing regulations of docks on properties under the control of the City.
I have discussed this with the City Engineer and the survey cost is to be determined, but he will
take into account that most of this area has already been surveyed by the developer of K/Ida.re
Road property.

TAX FORFEIT PROPERTY
The property known as Lot 4, Block 9, Mound Terrace, PID//14-117-24 32 0046, is a tax
forfeit parcel. Hennepin County intends to place this parcel up for public sale in August of
1996. The City had requested it to be held previously, but did not list a reason. Now it must
be either held with a legitimate reason or the City can request the County to release it for sale.
The property is zoned R-l, is 26,481 square feet (.61 acres). There are no assessments owing
at this time. The property went exempt in 1995. Prior to 1995 the 1993 market value was
$15,000.
Recommendations from the City Engineer, Planning Commission and Parks and Open Space
Commission are attached, along with a resolution to retain a 10 foot easement, and to release
the property for public sale.

Re: Birch Lane Tax Forfeit Property
FYI: June 22 Star Tribune Insite Article "Public Land"
I thought you might find this article about public land interesting and timely. The
three main points that impressed mc were:
1. Voters in thc metro area arc passing land referendums to purchase green space.
2. Mound has very few acres of' green space. After totalling Mound's grccn space
acres as listed in thc Recreation Section of Mound's Comprehensive Plan (4/90), and
subtracting Lost Lake's 40 acres and thc School District's 45 acres, I found that Mound is
at the bottom end of the Metropolitan Council's recommendation of park land per 1,000
residents ratio for cities.
3. Mound ranks very low compared to thc area communities listed in thc Parks and
People chart in the article.
During Mound's early histo~, green space is what attracted tourists and settlers
here. We need to concentrate on our strengths, which include our lakes, parks, and nature
areas. There is a need for Mound to acquire more parkland. The Birch Lane property can
be added to our parklands at no cost to the city or it's citizens. It's a win-win situation.
Please vote to retain this parcel for parklands.

suburbs, residents
Want green space
The fast-growing city
Will vote this fall on
whether to spend $5.8
million to buy about 100
~.ore acres of parkland
and to improve e:dsting
By Dennis Cassano
Star Tribune StaffWriter
iWhen a developer proposed
bu!!ding some townhouses on a
3-acre strip of land between an
apartment complex and another
group of townhouses in Eagan,
Ion lezusko and his neighbors
rebelled.
Armed with petitions signed
by some 200 people urging that
the land near the intersection of
Yankee Doodle Rd. and Federal
Dr. be preserved as open space,
they convinced the City Council
this. spring not only to stop the
developer, but to take ownership
of,~he tax-forfeited property so it
can'never be developed.
iA similar public outcry helped
kiQ'a proposal to build a housing
de.'elopment around the Carriage
Hills Golf Course in Eagan.
,Ken Vraa, the city's parks di-
rector, said some opponents sim-
plY'didn't want any more houses
or'~residents in the neighborhood,
while others wanted to continue
to enjoy the open space around
the course. A third group did not
object to the development pro-
posal but wanted the trees to be
saved.
Vraa and Mayor Tom Egan
said that people in the fast-grow-
ing Dakota County suburb are
starting to feel a need for more
breathing room. This fall resi-
dents will be asked whether they
are willing to spend $3.8 million
to buy land for more parks and
$800,000 to improve existing
parks. No date has been set for
the bond referendum.
Several other cities have asked
their residents similar questions
recently. Each time, the answer
has been, "Yes":
;~ Voters in Plymouth author-
ized spending $2.2 million for
new parks last year.
} Maple Grove voters ap-
proved $5 million in bonds in a
1993 referendum, as did Maple-
wood voters in 1995.
>- Eden Prairie voters in 1994
authorized spending almost $2
million to buy several parcels of
native prairie and woodland to-
taling 96 acres.
Potential park sites
Eagan has bought some par-
cels over the years with money
that developers are required to
contribute for parks. However,
Parks and people
The Metropolitan Council encourages cities to provide a minimum of
seven to 14 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. A random survey of
area communities shows that most meet or exceed that standard.

Egan said, the amount of money
raised from developers has not
kept pace with the suburb's park
and recreation needs.
City officials and a citizen task
force have pared a list of about 50
potential park sites to 23 loca-
tions, including about 500 acres.
The $3.8 million bond issue
would be enough to buy about
100 acres, Vraa said.
If the bond issue is approved,
the Eagan City Council likely
would seek additional money lat-
er to develop athletic fields and
install playground equipment on
some of the new parkland.
£gan said a recent survey of
residents' park preferences re-
vealed "a real change in taste."
He said people want soccer fields,
for instance, "although baseball
is still popular. But we need fewer
tennis courts."
He said those feelings will be
taken into consideratic aen
the city decides which pad<s to
develop and which to leave in a
natural state.
Parks are developed not only
by cities, but by counties, the
state, the Metropolitan Council
and the federal government as
well. In addition to its own 1,200
acres of parkland, Eagan is home
to the the Met Council's Lake
Byllesby Regional Park, a 420-
acre facility that will soon gain
another 200 acres.
While there is no official gov-
ernment standar: for the amount
of parkland a corlmunity should
have, the National Recreation
and Parks Association, a private,
nonprofit professional organiza-
tion, has set a standard of 7 to 14
acres of parks per 1,000 people in
cities. The Met Council has en-
couraged cities to follow that
standard.

MINIYrEs OF A MEETING
JUNE 13, 1996
TAX FORFEIT PROPERTY, 6273 BIRCH LANE, LOT 4, BLOCK 9, MOUND
TERRACE, 14-117-24 32 0046.
The Parks Director noted that this is a very nice lot, it is high ground and has a number of trees.
The whole lot is on a hill. Ahrens suggested the lot be released for sale and the revenue, if any,
be put in the park dedication fund. Meyer suggested that this is a piece of property that they
could add to Mound's open space and see it saved.
MOTION made by Ahrens to recommend the lot be released for sale, and the
revenues, if any, be deposited in the park dedication fund. Due to lack of a
second, the motion failed.
MOTION made by Darling, seconded by Meyer, to recommend that the
parcel be brought into the park system.
It was noted that there is no cost for the City to retain the parcel. Faclder noted that the only
future cost would be there was a hazardous tree situation on the property.
Darling commented that this parcel is huge compared to other small strips of land which the city
has control. This is a very large piece of open land which should develop naturally. Pederson
commented that they need to plan for the future, there are only so many trees and open land,
and she would like to see it retained.
Ahrens commented that the day is coming when we will not be able to care for the land we
have. Geffre stated there is no reason why we need to sell it now, it could always be sold in
the future, so we should keep it for now. Ahrens suggested they get prepared to put up another
"no dumping" sign.
Meyer commented that beside the environmental reasons to retain this lot, it is one of the last
woods where neighborhood kids play. Botko conf'u'rned that it would be easy to release the
property for sale again.
Motion carried 5 to 1. Those in favor were: Darling, Meyer, Geffre,
Peterson, and Botko. Ahrens was opposed.

desirable property for this use.
MOTION made by Mueller, seconded by Weiland to recommend this
parcel be released for sale. Motion carried unanimously.

As requested, I have reviewed the above mentioned tax forfeit lot and would recommend that the City
release it for sale. The lot is over 1/2 acre in size, fronts an improved City street and is served with both
City sewer and water. The City's record plans show a sewer service extended to the property line; but we
could not find any indication that a water service is in-place. The watermain appears to be very close to
the edge of the road, thus it would be fairly easy to install a new water service.
If this parcel is released for sale, I would recommend that the City keep a drainage and utility easement
over the northeasterly 10 feet. This easement is required because of the narrow 30 foot fight-of-way and
the fact that the watermain is within a few feet of the edge of the road and fight-of-way.

June 1996 Monthly Report
July 1, 1996
June, with graduations, weddings, Fathers Day and the first hot days of summer,
proved to be an incredibly busy month. Gross sales equalled $164,255. That
compares to June of '95 when we did $158,382 in sales. Half of the year has
gone by. At this point in time we stand at $753,115 in gross sales. Again, this
compares to last year after the first six months when we stood at $705,496.
June also saw some new and exciting changes to the exterior premises of our
facility. Our parking lot has been restriped and with a different twist to it We
now have angled parking directly in front of the store and in the middle. We lost
two spaces up front but gained a few more in the middle rows. The slanted
parking was accomplished by the installment of two barrier islands located on
Domino's side. The intent is to have the flow of traffic enter in one direction and
exit in another. This should hopefully also slow traffic down. We will see. We
have four new trees on Wilshire Boulevard and two inside the barrier islands in
the parking lot. When these trees mature they will provide ample shade to block
the rays from the setting sun that enter our store in the early evening. Also they
will be aesthetically pleasing.

JUNE 1996 MONTHLY REPORT
STREET DEPARTMENT
We finished the street sweeping at the very end of May. We had some trouble with the
sweepers this year. We had to replace rollers and conveyors on both of them. On the 1980
sweeper, the hydrostat transmission went out. This was replaced along with the PTO, that went
out. This is the first major work we put into this sweeper and it is 16 years old.
We started water main break repairs. We completed them in June. We will be putting on the
final lift sometime in the month of July. We will be fixing a few holes on Gull Lane and
Jennings Road due to the MCTO buses that drive over these roads during road restrictions. This
happens every year with the buses when they drive on our 4 ton streets.
Sealcoating will take place this July in the Highlands area. We will also do some work on
Brighton Boulevard, Shorewood lane due to road break ups.
City Days went fine for the public works. We did some sweeping prior to the event and after
the event. We helped Jim Fackler with some items at Mound Bay Park.
I spoke with the company that does the landscaping and yard repair work for the City. This
month they will try to repair the cuts in grass caused by snowplows. They are busy, .due to the
late spring. These should be done soon.
In June we hauled some water main break fill and sweepings out of the Minnetrista stock pile
to various locations in Minnetrista for people that are requesting fill. We are still trying to find
more places to relocate this excess fill. It is getting more difficult to find time to remove the

stuff from out there, it is filling up pretty quick. Hopefully, durin~ rain days we will b~ able
to get more out to make room for the water main breaks for this year.
WATER DEPARTMENT
The water meters are going well, readings are down to 4 or 4 and one half days at the most.
We struck a deal with Schlumberger regarding a payment for some of the defective registers that
we received during the change out program. It has been working well, they have done a very
good job for us.
There was a tremendous amount of locates for June from Gopher One Call, for different utilities
for new construction. We have some problems with a few contractors regarding erosion control
on their new construction sites. Jon Sutherland and myself have come up with a few ways of
dealing with these contractors to get them to comply with our erosion control efforts.
Hopefully, we will not have these problems in the future.
SEWER DEPARTMENT
There was one line backup that had to be routed out. It did not back up into any houses. The
line was cleaned out. The crew has been out with the Jet Vac doing sewer line maintenance and
cleaning sewers. There was a problem with the boom not rotating right or left. We had it
fixed. We look forward to cleaning many sewer lines this summer.
Lift stations are working fine. A few seals have been replaced in the pumps. One pump's seal
went out too soon after installation. In looking into the pump, there was no oil, we believe it
came this way from the factory. We will be working with Tri-State on this.
I attended the AWWA conference in Toronto this month. I spoke with the owner of a company
that we have our auto dialers with while I was there. The company is replacing 11-12 dialers
that we are having problems with. He assured me they were working to correct the problem.
They will help us get back on line and eliminate these problems.

June 1996 Monthly Report
July 1, 1996
PARKS
Summer is in full swing and the crew is keeping up with it's demands. The beaches are all
open and the summer parks programs are going well.
We have been seeing a flock of around seventy five geese at Mound Bay Park. This again
is creating a problem with keeping' the beach clean. Hopefully with the warmer weather
people will be in the park at an earlier hour which keeps the geese away.
With the lake level remaining high the Milfoil has not been as much of a problem, but I am
seeing more erosion on the shore line from wave action.
The four new water fountains were installed at Three Points, Swenson, Philbrook and
Mound Bay Parks.
DOCKS
The dock inspector has been very busy making rounds to all the dock sites. Site holders
have until June 1st to complete the installation of their dock. Notices are being sent out
for noncompliance.
TREES
Three trees were removed from City property and one tree was marked as a hazard on
private land. Weed notices are being handled by CSO's which can get faster compliance
because they can write a citation.
CEMETERY
One of the trees taken down by the City was a very old hard Maple in the old "A" division.
This tree covered a large portion on top of the hill and with it's removal will change the area
a lot.

1997 Budqet
Early in the month the city manager distributed the 1997 budget calendar.
As part of the budget process, each department head prepares a line item
by line item proposed budget. Finance made available to them budget
sheets that include updated actual expenditures for 1995. We are assisting
department heads through the process as needed.
Property Tax Reform
Who in St. Paul isn't talking about property tax reform? I attended a meeting
at the League of Cities on the topic in preparation for next year's legislative
session. Our lobbyists at the League are very concerned with this issue which
affects the basic financing of cities. State Representative Ann Rest's
property tax reform proposal was one of the main discussion items. Her pro-
posal breaks the property tax into two separate taxes:
* A local services tax for city, county, and special district expenses; and
* A state education tax.
Each tax would have a separate defined tax base. State aid still would
be paid to local governments.
The main concern raised so far on Representative Rest's proposal is the lack
of details. If you like to know more about this proposal, let me know.

SUBSECT: JUNE REPORT- LMCD
1.0 G~neral Item~.
1.1 The District is upgrading its office systems with a new LAN
which will allow all the staff to interconnect, to get on e-mail and to access
the lntemet. There is a wealth of material relavent to the LMCD mission
that is readily available on the net. This will also improve our ability to
administer the District, and to archive records, which has been seriously
lacking,
1.2 The draft 1997 budget was sent to the cities, There was very
little comment. I am assuming that you have reviewed the budget and are in
general agreement with it.
2.0 Exotic Species Task Force.
2.1 The boat washing program continues to struggle. Since
voluntary participation seems to not work, some more stringent rules may
have to be adopted for next year.
2.2 The harvesting commenced June 19, thus far 87 acres have
been harvested, mostly in Grays, St Alban's and Gideon's Bays.
3.0 Water Structures
3,1 A simplified rule for High Water condition on the lake was
adopted. It provides for a cushion each way before declaring a change.
3.2 Thc second reading ora code revision that would more clearly
prohibit the storage of boats within boats on the lake was approved. This
was occasioncd by the Bil Hawks boathouse structure on Halsted's Bay.
we are Iikcy to hear more of this, perhaps thru the courts.
3.3 Minnetonka Beach has 22 fire lanes that they are presently
using for city docks. These sites for the most part, have docks constructed
with zero side setbacks to abutting neighbors. This has been challenged by
a resident constructing a very large house next to a fire lane. Nothing in
writing authorizes such a dock configuration. The potential impact on the
city is large.
4.0 Lake Use.
4. I Complaints about high boat wakes continue to proliferate.

Dear Mr. Shukle:
The Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Board of Directors
is pleased to enclose its approved 1997 budget, which was
adopted at its regular meeting held June 26, 1996.
As you are aware, preliminary budget drafts were forwarded to
all surrounding communities on May 24, 1996. At that time, a
meeting was scheduled on June 4, 1996 for review and
comment. In attendance were city representatives who voiced
several opinions which were discussed, resulting in no changes
to the proposed budget. At that time a final date for comment
was established for June 19, 1996, at 4:30 PM. One response
was received from the City of Wayzata addressing several issues
which were taken into account by the LMCD Board at its June
26, 1996 meeting. At that meeting the proposed budget was
adopted.
Should you have any questions, please contact the LMCD office.

MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE
MOUND ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION
JUNE 24, 1996
Those present were: Chair Geoff Michael, Commissioners Frank Weiland, Bill Voss,
Jerry Clapsaddle, Gerald Reifschneider, and Orv Burma, Building Official Jon
Sutherland and Secretary Peggy James. Absent and excused were: Commissioners
Becky Glister, Michael Mueller, and Council Representative Mark Hanus.
The following people were also in attendance:
McDonald.

MINUTES
The Planning Commission Minutes of June 10, 1996 were presented for approval.
MOTION made by Weiland, seconded by Clapsaddle, to approve the
Planning Commission Minutes of June 10, 1996 as written. Motion
carried unanimously.
CASE 96-26: STREET VACATION CHURCHILL LANE (CONTINUED PUBLIC
HEARING): MICHAEL & CARRIE MCDONALD, 3018 CHURCHILL LANE, LOTS 19, 20,
21, BLOCK 12, ARDEN, PID 24-117-24 44 0146
Building Official, Jon Sutherland, referred to the Memorandum from Mark Koegler
wherein issues were clarified and responses given. Staff supports the vacation of
Churchill Road provided that Parcels 141 and 147 (Lots 12 and 22) are combined.
The Building Official confirmed that the owner of Parcels 141 and 147 has submitted
a request to combine those parcels and it has been sent to the County.
Chair Michael noted that at the last meeting the hearing was opened and closed, but
the item was tabled for further discussion. Chair Michael asked if there was anyone
present who wanted to speak on the issue. Applicant, Mike McDonald, reviewed with
the Council that he has discussed this issue with his neighbors and have had not
negative responses, other than his one neighbor to the south expressed a concern that
if the remaining portion of Churchill is improved, they do not want to be assessed.
Chair Michael closed the public hearing.
The Building Official added that staff also recommends approval of the variance to
allow the decks on the property. Also, approval should be made pending approval of
the combination by Hennepin County.
The Building Official reviewed the variance is for a deck located on the north side of
the dwelling that has a zero setback.
MOTION made by Weiland, seconded by Reifschneider to recommend
approval of the street vacation and variance as recommended by staff.
Planning Commission Minutes
June 24, 1996
It was questioned when and how this dwelling was built in this location. The owner
thinks the house was built in the mid-thirties. Weiland stated reviewed the history of
the house and how it was once a garage and it was slowly added onto.
Motion carried unanimously.
This case will be heard by the City Council on June 25, 1996.
CASE 96-34: VARIANCE FOR SHED, GAYLEN & WANYCE THOSTENSON, 502'~
BARTLETT BLVD., LOT 6, BLOCK 3, JOHNS S. CARLSON, PID 24-117-24 12 0007
The applicant is seeking a variance to allow construction of a 10' x 10' portable
storage building that will be nonconforming to the north front yard setback. This
property fronts on three streets, Bartlett to the south, Avon to the east, and Bayport
to the north. Bayport Road is unimproved and it is unlikely it will be improved in the
near future.
City Code requires, for detached accessory buildings, a setback of 20 feet to the
north. The shed is proposed to be placed 4 feet from the north property line, and 6
feet from the west property line.
The shed will be portable and could be moved in the future, if needed, and there is a
minimal impact at this time.
Staff recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of the front yard
setback to allow construction of a portable 10' x 10' storage building, with a condition
that if the street is improved the shed must be relocated to a conforming location.
Weiland explained what the property looks like and he feels there is no need for
Bayport to ever be improved. He also commented that the shed will not restrict usage
of the fire hydrant. Reifschneider stated that the shed will look best in the location
which is proposed.
Motion made by Voss, seconded by Weiland to recommend approval of
the variance as recommended by staff. Motion carried unanimously.
The applicant, Gaylen Thostenson, requested his case to be heard by the City Council
on June 25th.
VARIANCE STREAMLINING: DISCUSS AND SET PUBLIC HEARINR
The Planning Commission has no further comments on the issue or the proposed
ordinance amendment. The hearing has been set for July 8, 1996.
Planning Commission Minutes June 24, 1996
DOWNTOWN PLAN
Clapsaddle asked if the Commission is interested in being more deeply involved with
the downtown redevelopment. It is his opinion that they should have been more
directly involved. Weiland recalled that they were told the Commission would be
involved.
Clapsaddle commented that nobody knows what kind of businesses they want to
bring in, and he has other questions about the plan such as how they plan to acquire
and assemble the land, zoning issues, how do they know what land they want to
acquire, etc.
Voss indicated that he is in favor of the plan.
Clapsaddle expressed a concern that the plan has been changed since they last
reviewed it, and noted that the street have been changed, in that Auditor's Road was
suppose to be a main artery, but now is shown as a side street.
The Secretary noted that Bruce Chamberlain is planning on coming to the second
Planning Commission meeting in July to review the plan. Clapsaddle stated that he
would also like Paul Meisel and some others directly involved in the plan. He would
also prefer the meeting to be more of a work session, opposed to an informational
session. Clapsaddle requested the Commission receive the most current copy of the
plan prior to the meeting.
MOTION made by Weiland, seconded by Voss, to adjourn the meeting
at 8:03 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.

JUNE 1996 MONTHLY REPORT
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY
There were 60 building permits issued in May for a construction value of $2,604,486. This included nine
new dwellings (none of which were at Pelican Point). This results in 20 new dwellings year-to-date, and
last year at this point we had ten. Of the nine new dwellings, four will be built on lots where existing
houses are to be demolished. This trend of demolition and rebuilding continues to improve our housing
stock, it also results in improving the location of the structures on the lots with regards to setbacks. June
was a banner month for our department. The monthly and year-to-date construction activity is record
setting, nearly twice that of last years record breaker.
A large portion of this month's construction value is also attributed to the addition at St. John's Church
and a remodeling project at the Mound Medical building.
In addition to our construction activity we worked on a proposal to provide inspection services to St. Boni
which, to our disappointment, did not materialize. We also received a number of rental and zoning
complaints that are in progress.
We issued 28 plumbing, mechanical, and miscellanous permits for a total of 88 permits this month, and
343 year-to-date.
PLANNING & ZONING
The Planning Commission reviewed eight zoning cases in May including four variances, two minor
subdivisions, one conditional use permit and one street vacation request which was continued from May.
A public hearing for a proposed zoning ordinance amendment for streamlining variances was set for July
8, 1996.
COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICER (CSO) ACTIVITY
Two new CSO's have been hired and started work in mid-June.

Jim Fackler, Parks Director
Lineal Footage of Shoreline Used to Calculate
Application for LMCD Commercial Dock License
At the last City Council meeting on June 25, 1996, staff was directed "to provide the Council
with calculations and a Dock Location Map showing how the computations were done indicating
exactly how much shoreline Mound has, and to have the LMCD confirm their computations and
figures in writing regarding the amount of shoreline and formula for number of boats and docks
for the City of Mound." I forwarded a copy of this motion and related minutes to Greg Nybeck,
Administrative Technician for the LMCD (Lake Minnetonka Conservation District), and have
attached a copy of his letter written in response to the Council's concerns, see Exhibit #7.
From records at City Hall I was able to collect a limited history on the number of dock sites and
boat counts that were used when calculating the LMCD Commercial Dock License for the City
of Mound from 1978 to present.
As you will note on the attached Exhibit #1, from 1978 to 1981 the dock site count was 380.
In 1982 there was an increase of 20 sites to 400. In 1988 the LMCD's method for calculating
the license fee changed from counting dock site locations to counting boats. As shown on the
bottom of the first page of Exhibit #2, the LMCD application form, boats are the same as Boat
Storage Units (BSU's) and are computed, according the formula, into Water Storage Units
(WSU's) to determine our annual fee. As you can see, by using this formula, Mound's fee can
vary from year to year while the actual site locations remain consistent. The WSU's have varied
by as many as 192 when comparing high and low counts, and BSU's have varied by 120.

LMCD Memorandum

Page 2
The BSU's that are allowed for the City of Mound's LMCD Commercial Dock License are
based on the total lineal footage of the non-contiguous shoreline owned by the City that is above
the DNR's ordinary high water elevation (OHW) of 929.4. The total lineal footage is divided
by 50 lineal feet (one BSU = 50 ln. ft.) to determine the number of BSU's allowed for the City.
In looking at how the City of Mound had represented its claimed shoreline in the past for a
commercial license, I found four basic dock location maps that were used in the calculation.
1974 to 1976 the map did not reference lineal footage, see Exhibit//3. The dock site
numbers on the map were random and the lineal footage is unknown.
1977 to 1982, Exhibit #4, was the first map that applied lineal footage to identify each
dock site location. This map started the measurement of lineal footage at Avocet Lane
on Three Points (West Arm Bay), and continued around the shoreline ending on Bay
Ridge Road on Halsteads Bay. The total lineal footage noted was 70,050. In checking
with the City Engineer on who prepared these maps, he said the information for the
lineal footage was probably collected by City staff using a combination of surveys and
half sections maps.
1982 to 1995, Exhibit #5, is a continuation of the 1977-82 map format, but it was
visually enhanced by the engineering firm of McCombs Frank Roos and Associates.
This map still used lineal footage, but shows a reduction in the total lineal feet of 8,735
to a total of 61,315. I am not aware of any history as to why this was changed, and
what areas were affected.
1983 to present, Exhibit #6. The current dock location map shows nine revision dates,
beginning in 1982, but still maintains the total lineal footage of 61,315.
It has always been understood by staff that the dock program utilizes approximately 4-1/2 miles
of shoreline which is a portion of the total 6 miles of noncontiguous shoreline under the City's
control.
In comparing 6 miles of claimed shoreline, or 31,680 lineal feet, this does not balance with the
dock location map which shows 61,315 lineal feet. Yet when using the LMCD's requirement
of one BSU per 50 lineal feet, 31,680 lineal feet would allow for 633.6 BSU's. As you can see
from Exhibit #1, the number of BSU's has not exceeded the number allowed by the LMCD.
LMCD Memorandum
,hdy 9, 1996
Page 3
Because there is an understandable question as to what is the correct lineal footage of non-
contiguous City owned shoreline, the current dock location map can be updated and the amount
of lineal footage clarified by one of two ways:
Staff could make use of current records based on half section maps and the use of
surveys that are currently on hand. This would give only a close approximation of the
lineal footage.
A Registered Land Surveyor could be contracted, which would cost about $20,000 to
survey portions of the claimed shoreline in need of clarification while utilizing surveys
already on file and half section maps.
The results of an in-depth survey raises two scenarios:
If it is found that the City is exceeding the allowable number of BSU's, then the City
must reduce the count. This can only be done by removing boats. A method would
have to be determined on how to reduce the BSU's. With 447 dock sites, the number
of BSU's would have to be strictly controlled by the City and a policy or ordinance
established to direct staff on how to issue maximum BSU's between the sites. This will
put strict limitation on a dock site holders ability to change the number of boats at their
dock site.
If it is found the City has enough BSU's, we can continue on with a more up-to-date
dock location map and accurate limits on BSU's that the dock program can
accommodate. Only if the BSU's are nearing the maximum allowed by the LMCD is
there a need for a policy or ordinance to be established to direct staff on how to control
the issuing of BSU's per dock site.
A LMCD representative will be present at the July 9th Council meeting.

Dear Jim:
RECEIVED
J U L 0 8 1996
MOUND PLANNING & INSR
I have drafted a short memo to address the dock issues
outlined in your memo of 7/1/96 and City Council
Minutes.
As previously outlined in the memo of 6/5/96, the
maximum number of Boat Storage Units (BSU's) allowed in
the City of Mound multiple dock license is directly
related to accumulative shoreline. LMCD Code Section
2.02, Subd. 1 "allows for the storage of one watercraft
for each 50 feet of continuous shoreline." The Code
allows Mound to place BSU's in a specific location with
a density greater than 1:50, provided, the total number
of BSU's for the cities multiple dock license does not
ex~eed one watercraft for every 50 feet of shoreline.
LMCD staff does not have the ability to accurately
determine the amount of accumulative shoreline in Mound
dedicated for your multiple dock license. The records
we have on file will be consistent with yours at the
City of Mound. If your City Council determines there is
a need for an updated shoreline count dedicated for your
multiple dock license, you may want to recommend a
survey be done.
A representative from the LMCD will be available' at your
7/9/96 City Council to answer any questions the City
Council may have. Feel free to call me if you need
additional information or have questions regarding this
matter.
Sincerely,
LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT

Dear Jim:
Per conversation, I have drafted a memo outlining
how dockage rights in Mound are interpreted by LMCD
Code.
LMCD Code Section 2.02, Subd. i "allows for the
storage of one restricted watercraft for each 50
feet of continuous shoreline.- In the calculation
of shoreline for LMCD cities with a multiple dock
license, LMCD Code allows these cities to
accumulate total shoreline despite the shoreline
may not be continuous. The Code also allows the
cities to place Boat Storage Units (BSU's) in a
specific location with a density greater than 1:50
provided the total number of BSU's for the city
multiple dock license does not exceed one
restricted watercraft for every 50 feet of
shoreline.
With regards to the docks to be placed on Longford
Road, this would be allowed provided that all
aspects of LMCD Code are complied with. In 1997
when your renewal application for your multiple
dock license is submitted, an adjustment in BSU's
will need to properly note t~e increase on Longford
Road.
Feel free to call me if you need further
clarification on this matter.
Sincerely,
