KLEIN, 5010 WOODLAND ROAD, LOTS 13 & 14, BLOCK 20, SHADYWOOD POINT, PID //13-117-24 11 0146. REQUEST: VARIANCE FOR ADDITION. The Building Official explained that this item has been before the Planning Commission twice and both times they recommended denial. The reasoning was that neither staff nor the Planning Commission could find a hardship or practical difficulty for the variance. There is also a variance free solution. Councilmember Hanus felt that three things need to be taken into consideration: 1. This lot fronts on 3 streets and therefore has 3 front yard setbacks. 2. The applicant has decreased the addition from 16 feet to 14 feet. 3. There are problems with the soil on this lot. He further stated that he feels these three things combined show a hardship and create practical difficulty. 3 Minutes - Mound City Council - March 25, 1997 He also referred to Case g97-10 which was approved on the Consent Agenda tonight, which was similar in some respects to this case. Both properties are currently conforming, both properties are being proposed to be nonconforming and in both cases, Staff indicated that there are possibilities of having additions put on over the garages. He noted that the amount of the encroachment in Case//97-10 is very minimal because the encroaching portion is cantilevered which has less impact than if it were an entire wall. The Building Official stated that ordinance setback provisions for comer lots are an issue that deserve further study by the Planning Commission to come up with different setbacks for comer lots. The Council agreed. MOTION made by Ahrens, seconded by Hanus to direct Staff to prepare a resolution of approval for Case//97-05: Phillip A. Klein, 5010 Woodland Road, Lots 13 & 14, Block 20, Shadywood Point, PID //13-117-24 11 0146, Request: Variance for addition. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. The Council discussed lots fronting on 3 streets, comer lots and the problems with the required setbacks and asked that Staff and the Planning Commission see if they can come up with less restrictive setbacks for these lots. 1.10 CASE #97-13: BRADLEY H. WHITE, 5090 WINDSOR ROAD, LOT 4, BLOCK 1, TEAL POINTE, PID //25-117-24 12 0234. REQUEST: VARIANCE FOR SIDEYARD SETBACK. The Building Official reviewed the request. He reported that when the preliminary plat for Teal Pointe was submitted the developer originally proposed the vacation of Cobden Lane. The vacation was denied. The general conclusion was that Cobden Lane would probably never be improved for street purposes. The preliminary plat that was filed for Teal Pointe incorrectly identified a 10 foot setback requirement from the Cobden Lane right-of-way. The plat was drawn assuming setbacks with the right-of-way being vacated. The Planning Commission reviewed this case last night and a motion for approval failed on a 3 to 3 vote. Staff recommended approval. MOTION made by Hanus and seconded by Weycker directing Staff to prepare a resolution of approval for Case//97-13: Bradley H. White, 5090 Windsor Road, Lot 4, Block 1, Teal Pointe, 4PID #25-117-24 12 0234, variance for sideyard setback. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. INFORMATION/MISCELLANEOUS:. A.

After public hearings, the Council denied the vacation request. The general conclusion was that Cobden Lane would probably never be improved for street purposes, and; WHEREAS, the preliminary plat that was filed for Teal Pointe incorrectly identified a 10 foot setback requirement from the Cobden Lane right-of-way. The plat was drawn assuming setbacks with the right-of-way being vacated, and; WHEREAS, locating a home within 10 feet of the line does not compromise future use of Cobden as either a formally marked or informally used public trail. Even if utilities were needed in the future, they could be placed within the right-of-way without being hampered by the location of the proposed home, and; WHEREAS, the fact that Cobden Lane is likely to be held by the public as perpetual open space and the fact that the new home does not compromise the future use of the public right-of-way are grounds for a finding that this case satisfies the existence of practical difficulty, and; WHEREAS, all other setbacks, lot area, and impervious surface coverage are conforming, and; WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the request and the vote was a tie, 3 to NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Mound, Minnesota, as follows: The City does hereby grant a 10 foot front yard setback variance in order to allow construction of a new dwelling 10 feet from the west front property line.

Mound City Council Mound City Hall Mound, Mn. Dear Council Members: Soon you will be making a very important decision on new construction at Shirley Hills Primary school. This decision is important because it will effect many future generations of students and employees at Shirley Hills. Unfortunately, few parents are aware of the proposed plan. Teachers were told that the only possible site for a new administration building was at Shirley Hills. Options, that most teachers found favo. rable, were rejected. Very few choices were left open. A vote was taken as to which plan was the lesser of the three evils. This plan will be presented to you. However, many teachers and informed parents do not feel the plan that will be presented is educationally sound for the following reasons: *Studies show that people are much more productive in their jobs when they can view the outdoors. The majority of our staff and students will be looking at a brick wall. They will seldom see sunlight. *Whoever decided that schools should consist of concrete brick and blacktop? Shouldn"t they be surrounded with nature and wild life? Already, through the years Shirley Hills has lost a majority of it's school nature areas. The proposed plan will diminish the possibility of an expansion on our Peace Garden and future nature study area. The new building will block the majority of sunlight preventing plant growth. *As many of you know our district is in disparate need of a place for preforming arts. Businesses are looking for students who have backgrounds in the arts (see Business Week Oct. 1996). There will no possibility of creating a performing arts center at the proposed location. The High School location has much more capability for expansion. *The proposal will bring more people and traffic to the Elementary school site. There is concern for the safety of our young clients. *The school is NOT air conditioned and windows need to be opened. Air quality is already poor. The new building will block air flow. Circulating air will be coming from the parking lot. Thank you for considering these objections to the proposed plan. Sincerely, Valerie Hessburg WESTONKA PUBLIC SCHOOLS iNDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 277 5600 LYNWOOD BOULEVARD · MOUND, MINNESOTA 55364 RECEtVE ;'iAR 2 0 lg{tL #1 in SAT scores on Lake Minnetonka in 1994 3/19/97 FROM: RE: Mound City C94ncii Pam MyeY~'-"_~,(_~ ~ Mrs. Hessberg's letter to the Mound City Council dated 3/5/97 Since you have received a letter from a teacher at Shirley Hills Primary School, I am following-up with additional information for you, and a current drawing of the proposed addition at Shirley Hills School. For the record, I will respond to each of the inaccurate statements in Mrs. Hessberg's letter. Paragraph one states, as a fact, that "few parents" know about the plan. On the contrary, you have seen, I am sure, the continuing articles in the Laker, updating the community as a whole on the progress which the school district has made in choosing a site for the pre- school programs, and district offices. In addition, I've read information sent to all Shirley Hills parents about "new neighbors" in the Shirley Hills "Link", for example, in the October/November 1996. In addition, this month, I read a letter from the Shirley Hills principal which went to every home in Friday envelopes. Therefore, I am aware of numerous times when 100% of Shirley Hills parents were informed about the plan. Paragraph one states that teachers were told that Shirley Hills was the "only possible site" for the programs for children from 0-4. I was personally present when the Shirley Hills staff heard the pros and cons for each site, and were told of the discussion on each site among School Board members and administrators at publicized, open meetings. The School Board members reviewed of all school district property and an offer of privately-owned property. As a result of these discussions, the Shirley Hills site turned out to be the best site, as a combination of pairing children of pre-primary school age with primary children, and being cost effective to build. Paragraph one refers to "many teachers." I attended a Shirley Hills faculty meeting when a vote was taken ~etween one plan and a-o0'e-.. .. ,. Fi~een r~.~,~ ~,,,~,,,_~, .... ~-~.,-~ voted for the plan proposing the addition on the east side, and five (5) teachers voted for the plan on the west side. I understand from the building principal that, through the shared decisions process, this building staff has agreed that a 75% vote would constitute a majority on an issue. 15-to- 5 is 75%. Therefore, it might be accurate to say that many teachers support the currently proposed plan. Relating to the points in paragraph two: *The first statement is false. No windows will be bricked up. The same rooms will have windows which have windows currently. If there is sunlight, everyone will see sunlight who currently sees sunlight. Studies, and our reality in Westonka, show that caring and competent teachers can teach children an incredible amount. I would contend that teachers who teach/taught in rooms with no windows at Hilltop Primary School, and both the "old" and "new" high school were not automatically "unproductive." · RESOLUTION #97- RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW PUBLIC SCHOOL ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES AND A LICENSED DAYCARE & PRESCHOOL IN THE R-1 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT AT 2451 WILSHIRE BLVD. (SHIRLEY HILLS PRIMARY SCHOOL) PID 24-117-24 12 0059 P&Z CASE #97-08 WHEREAS, Independent School District 277 has applied for a Conditional Use Permit to allow construction of a building addition containing classrooms and administrative offices at the Shirley Hills School site, and; WHEREAS, Mound Zoning Ordinance Section 350:640 allows "Public and Private Schools and School Administrative Offices on a site which contains a school" and "Licensed Daycare & Preschool (13 or more)" in the R-1 Single Family Residential Zoning District with a Conditional Use Permit, and; WHEREAS, the addition is proposed two story addition will be 29,242 square feet and is to be located on the north east side of the school and will house facilities accommodating a preschool, Early Childhood Family Education, Early Childhood Special Education, Special Services, Adult Basic Education, District Administration and Community Education, and; WHEREAS, a new playground will be added south of the new addition to handle the needs of the preschool programs, and; WHEREAS, the location of the building addition creates a courtyard that is framed by the existing building and the west wall of the new addition. The courtyard area will be landscaped, and; WHEREAS, based on parking requirements for the existing school and new addition, the site has a total need for 162 parking spaces. The plan provides a total of 187 spaces, many of which are in the lot that was constructed on a shared basis with St. John's Church, and; WHEREAS, the plan shows the creation of 7 new parking stalls located off of the drop-off drive which measure 9' x 18' in size. Spaces less than 10' x 20' require a variance. The 9' x 18' stall size is consistent with the existing parking lot and most other lots constructed in Mound in recent years, and; WHEREAS, the plans for the addition to the Shirley Hills School site complies with all Mound ordinance criteria with the exception of the parking stall size variance, and; WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit as recommended by staff with a vote of 3-2-1, with the condition that if variances arise as a result of the revised drawings as required in condition #7, the Planning Commission would accept the City Engineers's recommendations. The Planning Commission's recommendation includes a finding of fact with respect to the parking stall size variance that the number of parking stalls on the site exceed the number required by 25 which allows the opportunity to have smaller size stalls and still not push the limit. II Proposed Resolution School CUP p. 2 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Mound, Minnesota, as follows: The City Council does hereby approve a Conditional Use Permit to allow Public School Administrative Offices and a Licensed Daycare & Preschool (with 13 or more children) in the R-1 Single Family Residential Zoning District on the Shirley Hills Primary School Site to allow construction of an addition, subject to the following conditions: A parking lot stall size variance is hereby approved allowing spaces to be 9' x 18' in lieu of the required 10' x 20' to be consistent with the balance of the parking lot. Plans dated 3/6/97 including sheets R-CUP2 through R-CUP5 are incorporated into this conditional use permit approval. c. Proposed signage shall comply with the Mound Sign Ordinance. d. Grading and drainage plans shall require Minnehaha Creek Watershed District approval. A pattern of one-way circulation shall be established in the drop off drive area with the westbound access point serving as the entrance and the eastern access point serving as the exit.

OFFICES" & "LICENSED DAY CARE & PRESCHOOL" 2450 WlLSHIRE BLVD., 24-117-24 12 0059 Bruce Chamberlain, Assistant City Planner, reviewed the Planning Report. The Westonka School District is seeking approval of a conditional use permit to construct an addition containing classrooms and administrative offices at the Shirley Hills School site. This request was first heard by the Planning Commission on February 10th which showed the proposed improvements along Wilshire Blvd. south of the existing school, and was subsequently tabled. On February 24th, representatives of the school district discussed with the Planning Commission the pros and cons of the original building location south of the existing school compared to an alternative location for the building on the northeast side of the school. As a result of that discussion, the school district has revised its plan and is requesting approval of the northeast location. The plans call for construction of a 29,242 square foot addition to the existing 67,188 square foot school. The two story addition will house facilities accommodating a preschool, Early Childhood Family Education, Early Childhood Special Education, Special Services, Adult Basic Education, District Administration and Community Education. A new playground will be added south of the new addition to handle the needs of the preschool programs. The proposed building addition lies east of the existing school building which creates a courtyard that is framed by the existing building and the west wall of the new addition. The courtyard area will be landscaped. Planning Commission Minutes March 24, 1997 The plan shows the creation of 7 new parking stalls, 2 of which are handicapped spaces behind the existing school. Based on parking requirements for the existing school and new addition, the site has a total need for 162 parking spaces. The plan provides a total of 187 spaces, many of which are in the lot that was constructed on a shared basis with St. John's Church. The 7 new parking spaces that are to be built off of the drop off drive measure 9' x 18' in size, spaces less than 10' x 20' require a variance. The 9' x 18' stall size is consistent with the existing parking lot and most other lots constructed in Mound in recent years. The drop-off times, storm drainage, landscaping and signage was reviewed. The entrance sign, as proposed is 40 square feet in size and five feet from the property line which does not conform to the ordinance. Staff does not see either hardship or need for a sign that exceeds the ordinance requirements. The plan for the addition to the Shirley Hills School campus to house classrooms and administrative offices complies with all of the Mound ordinance criteria with the exception of the parking stall size and sign variances. Staff recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of a conditional use permit to establish the proposed use including the preschool (13 or more) subject to the following conditions: A parking lot stall size variance is hereby approved allowing spaces to be 9' x 18' in lieu of the required 10' x 20'. Plans dated 3/6/97 including sheets R-CUP2 through R-CUP5 are incorporated into this conditional use permit approval. 3. Proposed signage shall comply with the Mound Sign Ordinance. 4. Grading and drainage plans shall require Minnehaha Creek Watershed District approval. A pattern of one-way circulation shall be established in the drop off drive area with the westbound access point serving as the entrance and the eastern access point serving as the exit. The entire drop off lane shall be signed as a no parking area. o The three Canada Red Chokecherry trees that are shown in the parking lot islands adjacent to the entrance and exit of the drop off area shall be replaced by overstory trees. The applicant shall resubmit a copy of the Preliminary Utility, Grading and Drainage Plan for review and approval by the City Engineer. The plan shall clearly note proposed erosion control measures. Additionally, a Post Indicator Valve (P.I.V.) should be added to the new 6" water service to the building, calculations should be provided for new hydrants which show projected pressure and flows, and the status of the existing hydrant between the existing structure and Wilshire Blvd. shall be clarified. The proposed sanitary sewer service connection will require street excavation because the existing sanitary sewer is located in the center of Maywood Road rather than behind the curb as shown on the plan. Restoration of the street shall be subject to the requirements of the City Engineer. ll23 Planning Commission Minutes March 24, 1997 Weiland referred to condition #7, and expressed a concern that there may be additional changes that may affect the plan. Chamberlain commented that they do not expect anything of consequence that would affect approval or denial of this application and that any plan changes can be signed-off by the engineer and would not need to come back to the Planning Commission. Hanus asked about the holding pond. Chamberlain noted that the pond will be enlarged according to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District requirements for stormwater management. Hanus questioned why they should grant a variance to parking stall size since they have more stalls that what is required. Chamberlain noted that 9' x 18' stalls are what is common in Mound, and the existing parking lot which is leased by St. John's has 9' x 18' stalls. Hanus suggested that maybe the code needs to be changed. Chair Mueller opened the floor for comments. There being nobody expressing an interest to speak on the issue, Chair Mueller closed public comments. Mueller recognized a letter which was mailed to the homes of some of the Commissioners from Marilyn Hostetler. Mueller summarized that the letter expresses concerns with regards to how the addition will affect the kids in the classes, visibility, and the lack of notification to parents regarding issues important to citizens who have children in the school. The letter is attached to these minutes as Exhibit A. Reifschneider asked if the landscaping in the courtyard will be a requirement of this permit. It was confirmed that condition//2 incorporates the plans labeled R-CUP2 through R-CUP5 which includes the landscaping plan. Bert Haglund commented, in reference to the parking stall size, with this plan, the number of spaces existing in the dual purpose parking lot will be reduced from 112 to 104 spaces, and they would like to maintain as many stalls as possible. Mueller agreed that now would be the time to change the code relating to parking stall sizes. Hanus agreed, and noted that it was also their intention to review the sign ordinance, however, it has not been addressed yet. Mueller asked Bert Haglund if the school had any concerns or objections to the conditions presented by staff. Haglund stated they had no disagreement with the conditions. MOTION made by Burma, seconded by Mueller to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit as recommended by staff including the conditions with the following modifications/comments: #1 A parking lot stall size variance is hereby approved allowing spaces to be 9' x 18' in lieu of the required 10' x 20' to be consistent with the balance of the parking lot. Planning Commission Minutes March 24, 1997 This condition should remain as written, and if variances arise as a result of the revised drawings, the Planning Commission would accept the City Engineers's recommendation. A finding of fact with respect to the parking stall size variance is that the number of parking stalls on the site exceed the number required by 25 which allows the opportunity to have smaller size stalls and still not push the limit. Hanus encouraged the Commission to act on this request, but stated that he will abstain because the City is now going to start having meetings with the School Board relative to saving the existing Community Center site downtown which could include some uses proposed at this site, so he is not prepared to vote at this time. Weiland stated that he feels Hanus should vote on the request because this is the issue in front of us now. Reifschneider stated that he is not in favor of this plan because of the increased traffic to the site and feels that it does not belong on this site. He prefers this plan to the first plan, but feels there is a better place in Mound for this use. MOTION carried 3-2-1. Those in favor were Muller, Glister and Burma. Those opposed were Reifschneider and Weiland. Hanus abstained. This case will be heard by the City Council on April 8, 1997. // ,ii[ i ~, Planning Commission Minutes MARCH 20, 1997 Exhibit A, Page 1 of 3 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION, CITY OF MOUND March 24, 1997 RECEIVED HAR 2 1997 PLANNING & INS~, RE: PLANNED ADDITION TO SHIRLEY HILLS ELEMENTARY, WESTONKA EDUCATION AND SERVICE CENTER. I AM WRITING THIS LETTER TO INFORM THE COMMISSION OF SOME OF MY CONCERNS . WHY THIS SITE? THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER AREAS IN MOUND AVAILABLE FOR THIS TYPE OF FACILITY. WHY, IF THE SAFETY AND WELFARE OF OUR STUDENTS IS POSSIBLY GOING TO BE JEOPARDIZED WOULD WE CONSIDER THIS SITE. IS THE COMMISSION AWARE THAT TWELVE OF THE NINETEEN CLASSROOMS IN SHIRLEY HILLS ARE GOING TO BE DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY THIS ADDITION? THAT IS OVER SIXTY-PERCENT. HOW MANY TIMES WILL OUR CHILDREN BE ROTATED INTO THOSE SAME ROOMS IN THERE 4 YEAR CAREER IN THIS BUILDING. IT IS A PROVEN FACT THAT PEOPLE AND STUDENTS WHO WORK IN AN OPEN AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT ARE MORE PRODUCTIVE THAN THOSE WHOSE ENVIRONMENT IS CLOSED OFF FROM NATURE AND LIGHT. HAVE ANY OF THE MEMBERS OF YOUR COMMISSION TAKEN THE TIME TO GO AND LOOK AT THE CLASSROOMS AFFECTED IF THIS SITE IS APPROVED.'? OUR DISTRICT HAS ALREADY LOST SEVERAL OF IT'S NATUR~ AREAS, WHY DO WE WANT TO DISTURB EVEN ONE MORE? THIS WILL END THE POSSIBILITY TO EXPAND THE SHIRLEY HILLS PEACE GARDEN WITH THE PLACEMENT OF EVEN MORE BLACKTOP, MORTAR AND BRICK. THE ADDITION WILL ALSO BRING MORE TRAFFIC TO THIS SITE WHICH IS A CONCERN TO ME WITH REGARDS TO THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN. THE PLAN NOW UNDER CONSIDERATION IS NOT THE PLAN MOST OF THE PARENTS WERE FAMILIAR WITH. THAT PLAN TO MY UNDERSTANDING Planning Commission Minutes March 24, I997 Exhibit A, Page 2 of 3 HAS BEEN REJECTED AND THIS PLAN WAS JUST RECENTLY SUBMITTED. IN FACT THE COPY OF THE NEW PLAN THAT I RECEIVED FROM THE CITY IS DATED MARCH 6, 1997. THIS DOES NOT AFFORD MUCH TIME FOR THE PARENTS OF CHILDREN WHO ATTEND SHIRLEY HILLS TO RESPOND. I AM AWARE THAT A PUBLIC HEARING BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION IS NOT NECESSARY, ALTHOUGH I WOULD THINK THAT MORALLY AND ETHICALLY THE ADMINISTRATION AND SCHOOL BOARD WOULD HOLD SUCH A HEARING TO BETTER INFORM THOSE PARENTS OF STUDENTS WHO ATTEND SHIRLEY HILLS SCHOOL. A NOTE GIVEN TO STUDENTS TO TAKE HOME TO THEIR PARENTS, MOST OF WHICH ARE NOT READ AND HALF OF WHICH GET LOST EN-ROUTE IS NOT AN ADEQUATE WAY TO INFORM THE PARENTS OF THE STUDENT THIS WILL AFFECT. NOW THAT THE CHILDREN HAVE HAD PEACE FOR ONE YEAR AFTER THE LAST CONSTRUCTION, ANOTHER PERIOD OF CONSTRUCTION WILL HAVE TO BE ENDURED. CHILDREN WHO ARE CONSTANTLY BEING DISTRACTED BY NOISE AND MOVEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION FIND IT HARD TO CONCENTRATE. THE WINDOWS AGAIN WILL HAVE TO REMAIN CLOSED IN A BUILDING WHERE VENTILATION IS POOR AND NO AIR CONDITIONING IS AVAILABLE. I ALSO FIND IT HARD TO VISUALIZE THIS NEW PLAN WHEN THERE ARE NO MEASUREMENTS ON THE SITE PLAN AND NO ELEVATIONS TO TRULY INDICATE THE AFFECT THIS WILL HAVE ON THE PRESENT BUILDING. I HOPE THIS LETTER WILL HELP THE COMMISSION BECOME AWARE THAT IF PARENTS OF STUDENTS WERE PROPERLY INFORMED ABOUT THE NEW PROPOSAL THAT THERE WOULD BE WIDE SPREAD OBJECTION TO THIS NEW SITE. IN READING THIS LETTER I HOPE YOU ALL UNDERSTAND THE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR DECISION WITH REGARDS TO THIS SITE. I HOPE TOO THAT YOU TOGETHER WITH THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE SCHOOL 1177 Planning Commission Minutes March 24, 1997 Exhibit A, Page 3 of 3 BOARD FIND A WAY TO TRULY INFORM THE PARENTS OF THE STUDENTS THAT THIS DECISION WILL SERIOUSLY AFFECT. ONE OTHER ISSUE OF CONCERN IS WHO IS PAYING FOR THIS ADDITION? IS THIS WHERE OUR MONEY FROM THE LAST REFERENDUM IS BEING SPENT? ARE THERE NOT OTHER AREAS OF NEED WHERE THIS TYPE OF EXPENDITURE CAN BE BETTER UTILIZED? THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY OF PRESENTING SOME OF MY VIEWS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. SINCERELY YOURS, 11 ll7f' PLANNING REPORT Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. mfl TO: Mound Planning Commission and Staff FROM: Mark Koegler, City Planner DATE: March 18, 1997 SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit - Public and Private Schools Administrative Offices APPLICANT: Westonka Public Schools (ISD #277) CASE NUMBER: 97-08 HKG FILE NUMBER: 97-5e LOCATION: Shirley Hills Primary School EXISTING ZONING: Single Family Residential (R- 1) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Public/Semi-Public (School) BACKGROUND: The Westonka School District is seeking approval of a conditional use permit to construct an addition containing classrooms and administrative offices at the Shirley Hills School site. This request was first heard by the Planning Commission on February 10, 1997. The initial application showed the proposed improvements along Wilshire Boulevard, south of the existing school. After considering the matter at that time, the Planning Commission passed a motion tabling action until February 24, 1997. At the meeting on the 24th, representatives of the school district discussed the pros and cons of the original building location south of the existing school compared to an alternative location for the building on the northeast side of the school. As a result of that discussion, the school district has revised its plans and is requesting approval at the northeast location. On March 4, 1997, based on a recommendation of the Planning Commission, the Mound City Council approved an ordinance change that allows the proposed use through the issuance of a conditional use permit. Approval of the ordinance modification paved the way for the specific conditional use permit application that is now before the Planning Commission and City Council. COMMENTS: In order for the City of Mound to approve a conditional use permit, the proposal must be found to be in conformance with the criteria for granting conditional use permits located in Section 350:525 of the Mound Code of Ordinances. In granting a conditional use permit, the City Council is required to consider, "the advice and recommendations of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed use upon the health, safety, morals and general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands." The code further identifies sample findings that may apply to conditional use permit cases. It is suggested that the Planning Commission use the criteria and sample findings in its deliberations. 7300 Metro Boulevard, Suite 525, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55439 (612) 835-9960 Fax (612) 835-3160 Planning Report - Shirley Hills Primary School Conditional Use Permit March 18, 1997 Page 2 The School District's plans call for construction of a 29,242 square foot addition to the existing 67,188 square foot school. The two story addition will house facilities accommodating a preschool, Early Childhood Family Education, Early Childhood Special Education, Special Services, Adult Basic Education, District Administration and Community Education. All of the functions that are proposed for the new addition are currently housed in the Community Center building. A new playground will be added south of the new addition to handle the needs of the preschool programs. Approximately 30 staff members will be accommodated in the new building and the preschool and Early Childhood Programs will serve approximately 75 children. The Mound Zoning code allows Licensed Daycare and Preschools serving 13 or more children as conditional uses in the R-1 zone. Approval of the conditional use permit for the building addition will also need to be accompanied by approval of a conditional use permit for the preschool use. The proposed building addition lies immediately east of the existing school building. The location of the new structure creates a courtyard that is framed by the existing building and the west wall of the new addition. The courtyard area will be landscaped to create an outdoor plaza. Primary access to the new building occurs on the north side. A drop off lane will be created off of the existing parking lot with the access points displacing approximately 10 existing parking stalls. The plan shows the creation of 7 new parking stalls, 2 of which are handicapped spaces behind the existing school. A trash enclosure and delivery area is also located on the north side. Based on parking requirements for the existing school and new addition, the site has a total need for 162 parking spaces. The plan provides a total of 187 spaces, many of which are in the lot that was constructed on a shared basis with St. John's Church. The shared lot will continue to serve the needs of St. John's Church since their peak parking demand is on Sunday mornings. The new parking spaces that are to be built off of the drop off drive measure 9' x 18' in size. Spaces less than 10'x 20' require a variance. The 9' x 18' stall size is consistent with the existing parking lot and most other lots constructed in Mound in recent years. The north side of the site contains the main entrance to the new addition, the drop off area, the trash enclosure and the service doc'k/door entrance. The concentration of all of these uses in the same area poses some concern about the level of activity and potential vehicular conflicts. Having the entrance and exit for the drop off lane feeding directly into the aisle portion of the existing parking lot enhances the potential for conflict. This arrangement makes it important to establish and preserve sight distances for moving vehicles that are not unduly obstructed by parked cars, landscaping or piles of snow in the winter months. Establishing a pattern of one-way circulation through the drop off drive could greatly improve circulation in this area. A flow of movement entering on the west end and exiting on the east end could help alleviate congestion and conflict. Parking in the drop off lane could be prohibited to further enhance circulation in the area. The staggered nature of the arrival and departure time will also help ensure that excessive congestion does not occur along the northern side of the new building addition. According to the School District, the following pattern is anticipated: 7:00 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. - Shirley Hills School staff arrive; 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. morning programs are held involving approximately 30 children including the arrival of two busses containing approximately 10 children each; 1:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. - afternoon programs are held involving approximately 20 children; and 4:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. - Shirley IIgO Planning Report - Shirley Hills Primary School Conditional Use Permit March 18, 1997 Page 3 Hills school personnel and administrative staff personnel leave the site. Access to existing utilities including storm drainage will occur to the north. The plan calls for storm drainage to be piped to the existing drainage pond that was constructed as part of the shared parking lot project. The grading plan calls for a slight expansion of the pond. All drainage and ponding requirements are under the jurisdiction of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District who will have to approve the plan and/or payment of any additional fees that may be required. The site plan submittal also contains a landscaping plan. Plantings that are being installed will enhance the appearance of the front of the new addition, create a passive plaza in the courtyard area and define space around the new and existing playground areas. The quantity and size of the plant materials shown on the plan are consistent with the City's landscaping requirements. The planting of three Canada Red Chokecherry in the islands adjacent to the drop off drive entrances may inhibit sight distance. Replacing these three trees with overstory trees that could maintain a higher canopy would help ensure that no sight lines are blocked. Site lighting as shown on the plans also complies with the performance standards listed in the Zoning Code. The Enlarged Site Plan sheet also details a proposed entrance sign for the new building addition. The proposed sign measures 40 square feet in area and is to be 8 feet high. The proposed location of the sign is 5 feet behind the fight-of-way line. The Mound Sign Code allows "Institutional, Recreation or Quasi-Public Signs" in the R- 1 district subject to an area limitation of 24 square feet, limited to 10 feet in height and placed no closer than 10 feet from any street fight-of-way line. The proposed sign exceeds the ordinance in area and it does not comply with required setbacks. Therefore, approval of the sign as proposed will require a sign variance. Staff questions the need for a sign in the proposed location that exceeds the ordinance requirements. The sign will serve traffic on Maywood Road which is a low volume, low speed roadway. A 24 square foot sign that is illuminated at night should be adequate to help establish the location of the facility as well as the entrance drive. Therefore, staff doe not see either hardship or need for a sign that exceeds the ordinance requirements. RECOMMENDATION: The plan for the addition to the Shirley Hills School campus to house classrooms and administrative offices complies with all of the Mound ordinance criteria with the exception of the parking stall size and sign variances that are noted herein. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of a conditional use permit to establish the proposed use including the preschool (13 or more) subject to the following conditions: 1. A parking lot stall size variance is hereby approved allowing spaces to be 9' x 18' in lieu of the required 10'x 20'. 2. Plans dated 3/6/97 including sheets R-CUP2 through R-CUP5 are incorporated into this conditional use permit approval. 3. Proposed signage shall comply with the Mound Sign Ordinance.

IA An Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action Employer The project consists of a 29,242 square foot two story (3 1 feet high) addition to the existing 67,188 square foot Shirley Hills Primary School. The addition will provide space for the following school district uses which are currently housed in the Westonka Community Center building: Preschool Early Childhood Family Education Early Childhood Special Education Special Services Adult Basic Education District Administration Community Education Approximately 30 staff will work at the facility. The preschool and early childhood programs will serve approximately 75 children. We have met with the Building Official, Fire Chief and Fire Marshal to review their requirements for the project. A flow test has been performed and analyzed by the City Engineer and Fire Marshal. As a result of the analysis, a new 6" tap will be installed at Wilshire Boulevard and connect to a new fire hydrant south of the addition. A second fire hydrant will also be installed to the north of the addition and tap into a new water service for the addition. Stormwater drainage is shown discharging into an enlarged existing detention pond on the north side of the existing north parking lot adjacent to Maywood Road. However, there remains the possibility that a fee may also be paid to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District if enlarging the existing pond is not sufficient to handle all of the new hard surface drainage. Minnehaha Creek Watershed District staff have indicated that they are willing to consider payment of a fee. The school district prefers not to construct another pond because it would pose a potential liability to young children and probably eliminate one of the existing ball fields. The proposed design, of course, is pending final approval of the Watershed District. Parking will be provided as follows, along with one loading berth: Spaces Provided Existing 197 Removed 17 New 7 Total 187 Spaces Required Existing 95 New 67 Total 162 One new monument sign will be provided, similar to the existing monument sign. The new sign will be externally lit. Surface applied lettering will also be provided on the building at the entrance.

The Planning Commission expressed concern for the location of the Shirley Hills building addition (to the west) and asked that the school district bring drawings of alternative locations that had been considered for the addition. In particular, the commission was interested in the north east side of the building. At the February 24th meeting the school district will present the process used to arrive at the project design as submitted. This will include a review of the alternative locations that were considered, including drawings and pro's and con's for each alternative. Ultimately, the school district decided to locate the addition to the west. This location provided the best solution to the needs of the project. These needs included, among others, consideration for the possible constuction of a senior center and the flexibility of building district programs and/or district offices on the site. These considerations played an important part in the decision to locate the addition to the west. Since that time, however, the senior center has decided not to locate on the Shirley Hills site. Also, the school district has decided to construct both district program space and district office space, not just one or the other. In light of these changes, and following the discussion at the February 10th Planning Commission meeting, the school district has reconsidered each of the alternative locations. From this effort, it does appear that locating the addition to the north east, as suggested by some commissioners, may be feasible. The school district is considering the possibility of revising its CUP application to show the addition to the north east and will be prepared to discuss this with the Planning Commission on February 24th. An Equal Opporlunity, Affirmative Action Employer MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE MOUND ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 10, 1997 CASE 97-07: PUBLIC HEARING: ZONING AMENDMENT TO ADD "PUBLIC AND PRIVAGE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES" IN THE R-1 ZONE BY CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT WESTONKA PUBLIC SCHOOLS CASE 97-08: PUBLIC HEARING: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT "PUBLIC SCHOOL & ADMIN. OFFICES" & "LICENSED DAYCARE & PRESCHOOL (13 OR MORE)" IN THE R-1 ZONE AT 2450 WILSHIRE BLVD., 24-I17-24 12 0059 WESTONKA PUBLIC SCHOOLS (SHIRLEY HILLS PRIMARY) City Planner, Mark Koegler, reviewed the staff repons for both the zoning amendment and the conditional use permit application ZONING AMENDMENT: Westonka Public Schools is seeking a conditional use permit to construct an addition to the Shirley Hills School to house district offices and space for programs. The zoning ordinance currently allows "Public and Private Schools" as a conditional use in residential zones. Westonka Schools is requesting that the code be amended to allow "Public and Private Schools and School Administrative Offices" as a conditional use in the R-1 zone. Staff recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed zoning text amendment that will place "Public and Private Schools and School Administrative Offices" as a listing in the chart found in Section 350:640 of the Mound Zoning Code under R-1 for Non- shore, G.D., and R.D. zoning classifications. Such a modification is consistent with a change in conditions in the City. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT: Westonka Public Schools is seeking a conditional use permit to construct an addition to the Shirley Hills School to house district offices and space for school related programs. The proposal includes a building addition of 29,242 square feet which will house offices for the school district and classroom space for a variety of educational uses including a preschool program. The proposed conditional use permit will also need to include the preschool since "Licensed Daycare and Preschool (13 or more)" is listed as a conditional use in the R-1 zone. In addition to the building addition, construction will also involve a parking lot, playground area, landscaping improvements and supporting utilities. Staff recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of a conditional use permit for Westonka Public Schools to establish a "public school and administrative offices" and a "preschool serving more than 13 students" at the Shirley Hills Primary School site subject to the following conditions: Plans stamped "Received January 23, 1997, Mound Planning & Insp." including sheets CUP1 through CUP8 are incorporated into the conditional use permit approval. 2. Proposed signage shall comply with the Mound Sign Ordinance. 3. Grading and drainage plans shall require Minnehaha Creek Watershed District approval. The applicant shall supply a detail of the domestic and fire protection water service(s) to the new building addition which shall be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer and/or Fire Marshall. Erosion control fencing shall be extended along Wilshire Blvd. up to the south leg of the existing loop entrance drive. If a temporary entrance is established during construction, such entrance shall be surfaced with rock. Planning Commission Minutes ................................. February 10, 1997 '- Weiland expressed a concern about the amount of property required for the number of students for open space and play area. He remembers that this was an issue in the past when improvements were proposed on school property. It has something to do with qualifying for State aid. Bert Haglund of TSP/EOS Architects stated that this plan will also require approval from the state, and this site does conform to the required number of acres for a school. He is not aware of any certain requirements in the planning guidelines relating to a required area for play per student. He would be comfortable with an additional condition that requires that the State also approve of the plan. Reifschneider questioned the uses proposed for the addition. Haglund summarized that the addition will house childhood programs for about 75 toddlers and preschool aged children who will be transported to the site by bus and cars. The increase in traffic flow was discussed. Reifschneider asked if there were any plans to relocate the tennis courts. Haglund related that the School Board saw no need to replace the tennis courts. Chair Michael opened the public hearing. There being nobody present to speak on the issue, Chair Michael closed the public hearing. MOTION made by Mueller, seconded by Clapsaddle to recommend approval of the zoning ordinance amendment to allow for "Public and Private School and Administrative Offices" by conditional use permit in the R-1 zoning district. Motion carried 6 to 2. Those in favor were: Clapsaddle, Michael, Voss, Burma, Hanus, and Mueller. Weiland and Reifschneider were opposed. Weiland commented that there are too many things that need to be looked into yet. Reifschneider commented that he is not in favor of increased traffic as a result of allowing school administrative offices in the R-1 zone. The Commission continued discussion relating to the Conditional Use Permit. Mueller asked the architect representing the school district why they decided on the location as proposed. Haglund explained that they looked at all sides of the building as possibilities. Mueller expressed a concern about adding more parking when they already have a large parking lot that is under-utilized. Haglund explained that they are really only adding 45-50 additional spaces because the existing parking area will be covered by the addition or used as a hard surface play area. They have determined that they need 80 parking spaces to serve the uses proposed for this wing. Mueller expressed a concern with the location of the addition because of how it affects the adjacent neighborhood area. He feels the impact of the uses proposed for this addition should be toward other similar uses, such as on the north side of the site by the church and other businesses. 3.2 Planning Commission Minutes ................................. February I0, 1997 Hanus moved to extend the meeting 15 minutes past 11:00. Voss seconded the Motion. Motion carried unanimously. Voss expressed a concern about increased traffic in the R-1 zone and feels it will be difficult for people coming southbound on Wilshire to enter the parking lot where it is proposed. Weiland expressed a concern about how the increased traffic may affect the fire department. Haglund noted that the fire department has reviewed the plans. The City Engineer commented that Wilshire is a State aid road and met the standards when it was constructed in the 60's, but he will have to confirm if it meets current standards. Dr. Pam Myers, Superintendent of the Westonka School District, explained what school related programs are proposed to be moved from the current site to this new site. The lower level will contain the early childhood and preschool programs. The second floor will accommodate the community services staff, district offices, special services, and adult basic education. The only school related program that is not being transferred to this site is the alternative program because the school board did not feel this program should be in the same building with primary school age students. Myers explained the reason they chose this location on the site was that busing for the preschool children and primary school children can be kept separate. Mueller stated that he agrees with using this site for this use, however, does not necessarily agree with the location chosen on the site because existing green space will be taken away, there are existing parking lots that are under-utilized, and the increase of traffic is not conducive to the adjacent neighborhoods. Clapsaddle commented that he also shares some of these concerns. Myers emphasized the need to keep the bus traffic and drop off area separate from the existing primary school, and the need to have the play area close to the early childhood center. None of the other locations examined as an option on this site provided a solution for both these needs. MOTION made by Voss, seconded by Clapsaddle to recommend approval of the conditional use permit as recommended by staff. Weiland expressed a concern that the proposed free standing sign will require a variances as it will be a second free standing sign for the site. Koegler stated that he feels it is reasonable to allow two free standing signs on this site due to the size of the property and the amount of street frontage and the fact that there will be two uses on the site. Mueller moved to extend the meeting for 15 more minutes. Clapsaddle. Carried unanimously. Seconded by 13 Planning Commission Minutes ................................. February 10, 1997 '.-_ Weiland suggested that the maker of the motion accept a friendly amendment to add a condition to the motion as #7 to check into the conformance of Wilshire Blvd. to state-aid requirements, and that condition #2 be amended to read as follows: "Proposed signage shall,-,~,--v,J .... ~,s .... ~ e:~ r~a: ..... be approved as detailed on sheet CUP5 of the plans submitted." Voss, maker of the motion, and Clapsaddle who seconded the motion, accepted the amendments as suggested by Weiland. Mueller commented that he cannot support the motion because he would rather see the addition on the north east side of the existing building. Voss commented, as maker of the motion, that he agrees with Mueller and would like these issues addressed and feels there could be a better utilization of the property, however, is generally in favor of the expansion. MOTION failed 4 to 4. Those in favor were: Clapsaddle, Burma, Voss and Hanus. Those opposed were: Reifschneider, Weiland, Michael, and Mueller. Michael commented that he is not sure this is the best utilization of the land. Reifschneider commented that he is opposed to the location. MOTION made by Mueller, seconded by Clapsaddle, to recommend this case be tabled until the February 24, 1997 Planning Commission meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Hanus suggested that the school bring the old drawings to the next meeting which shows the expansion on the north east side of the building. PLANNING REPORT Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. TO: Mound Planning Commission and Staff FROM: Mark Koegler, City Planner DATE: February 3, 1997 SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit - Public and Private Schools and Administrative Offices APPLICANT: Westonka Public Schools (ISD #277) CASE NUMBER: 97-08 HKG FILE NUMBER: 97-5e LOCATION: Shirley Hills Primary School EXISTING ZONING: Single Family Residential (R- 1) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Public/Semi-Public (School) BACKGROUND: Westonka Public Schools is seeking a conditional use permit to construct an addition to the Shirley Hills School to house district offices and space for programs. "Public and Private Schools and Administrative Offices" are allowed as a conditional use in the R-1 zone per a zoning change that was processed in tandem with this CUP application. The portion of the site that will contain the new facilities in not in Mound's shoreland area, therefore, the project is not subject to impervious cover restrictions or other regulations for the shoreland zone. The proposal includes a building addition of 29,242 square feet which will house offices for the school district and classroom space for a variety of educational uses including a preschool program. All of the proposed uses will be housed in the new two-story addition which will be attached to the southwest corner of the existing school. The proposed conditional use permit will also need to include the preschool since "Licensed Day care and Preschools (13 or more) is listed as a conditional use in the R-1 zone. The site plans submitted with the application show the extent of the proposed project. In addition to the building itself, construction will also involve a parking lot, playground area, landscaping improvements and supporting utilities. COMMENTS: Westonka Public Schools and their consultants submitted an extremely well detailed application packet. Their plans and supporting documentation present a proposed project that complies with every aspect of Mound's Zoning Code including setbacks, building height, building materials, screening, landscaping, lighting, and fences. The only issues that need to be resolved pertain to site utilities and they are ones that are customarily included as part of the "conditions" of an approval action. 7300 Metro Boulevard, Suite 525, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55439 (612) 835-9960 Fax (612) 835-3160 ll?~ Planning Report - Conditional Use Permit February 3, 1997 Page 2 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of a conditional use permit for Westonka Public Schools to establish a "public school and administrative offices" and a "preschool serving more than 13 students" at the Shirley Hills Primary School site subject to the following conditions: 1.

Conditional Use Permit approved - Resolution #94-12 Conditional Use Permit approved - Resolution #95-78 Applicant's S,~nat~re Property Owner[s Signature January 23, 1997 Date Date SHIRLEY HILLS PRIMARY SCHOOL ADDITION PROJECT DESCRIPTION January 23, 1997 The project consists of a 29,242 square foot two story (31 feet high) addition to the existing 67,188 square foot Shirley Hills Primary School. The addition will provide space for the following school district uses which are currently housed in the Westonka Community Center building: Preschool Early Childhood Family Education Early Childhood Special Education Special Services Adult Basic Education District Administration Community Education Approximately 30 staff will work at the facility. The preschool and early childhood programs will serve approximately 75 children. We have met with the Building Official, Fire Chief and Fire Marshal to review their requirements for the project. It was agreed that fire hydrants will be provided, however, a flow test must be performed before the final requirements can be determined. Stormwater drainage is shown to be discharged directly to the storm sewer main in Wilshire Boulevard. Minnehaha Creek Watershed Distict staff have indicated that they are willing to consider this design, along with payment of a fee, as an alternative to construction of a stormwater retention pond on the site. The school district prefers not to construct a pond because it would pose a potential liability to young children and because it would probably eliminate one of the existing ball fields. The proposed design, of course, is pending final approval of the Watershed District. Parking will be provided as follows, along with one loading berth: Spaces Provided Spaces Required Existing 198 Existing 95 New 42 New 67 Total 240 Total 162 One new monument sign will be provided, similar to the existing monument sign. The new sign will be externally lit. Surface applied lettering will also be provided on the building at the entrance. Building materials will be brick, synthetic stucco (EIFS), and aluminum framed windows in keeping with the materials used on the existing school building. A four foot high chain link fence will be provided around the new playground just north of the addition. A six foot high chain link fence will be provided around the east end of the new parking lot to keep children from running across the parking lot as they go between the building and the south playground area. .I \ I I 'C~'18 I I L ,I ,I .I ,I i.I ]tlll,l["lltlit I [ .I .I :lI o WlLSHIRE BLVD. ti (~)--- !

In accordance with your desire to prepare a new plan and the statutory review process, this letter is to inform you that the City is terminating the review time for this project. When you complete your new plan, it will be considered as a new application for the purposes of § 15.99, however, you will not be required to pay any additional application fees to the City of Mound, but additional costs relating to staff review may be assessed to your escrow account. If you have any questions on this matter, please contact our City Planner, Mark Koegler at 835-9960.

Cores were taken of the existing street in January to determine the thickness of the bituminous paving and also what if any gravel base was used in the original construction. Because of the snow and ice cover, we were unable to inspect the bituminous surface of the entire street at that time. A thorough inspection and rating of the bituminous surface was completed last week. The original street was constructed with a 2" bituminous mat over fill which varies in depth from 2 to 8 feet. This fill is comprised of a mixture of sand, silty sand and silt and was placed over naturally-occurring sandy clay. The borings do not indicate any gravel base was placed prior to the paving. The existing bituminous pavement was rated using a system recommended by the Asphalt Institute for low-volume asphalt roads. Using this rating system in addition to the recommendations from the soils company, GME Consultants, we believe this street can be overlayed. The following deficiencies will need to be corrected before application of the actual bituminous overlay. 1. Install new concrete curb and gutter on the entire street and concrete aprons at all driveways. An Equal Opporlunity Employer Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council April 1, 1997 Page 2 2. Cut out and repair areas of pavement failure, i.e. potholes, alligatored areas, etc. 3. Fill the major transverse and longitudinal cracks. 4. Skin patch to fill the minor depressions and build up the areas of no crown. The overlay would vary in depth from 3/4" at the edge of the new concrete gutter to as much as 3" at the centerline. The thicker overlay at the center is necessary to provide more crown, as it appears most of the street has little if any crown. It is our opinion that this street can be restored to sufficiently meet the City's needs for many years by using the previously detailed reconstruction method. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me. Very truly yours, McCOMBS FRANK ROOS ASSOCIATES, INC.

Council - January 28, 1997 1.8 CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: PROPOSED PUBLIC I~IPROVEMENTS TO SHERWOOD DRIVE. The City Engineer explained that as directed at November 12, 1996, Meeting, he has investigated the option of adding concrete curb and gutter, and overlaying Sherwood Drive in lieu of a full reconstruction project. They had GME Consultants evaluate the soil conditions and recommend a street section and the feasibility of an overlay. Soil borings were done on Sherwood Drive and it has been determined that the existing street was constructed with a 2" bituminous mat over 2 to 8 feet of pit run fill, composed of sand, silty sand, and silt, with no gravel base. The soils engineers also looked at the option of an overlay on the existing pavement, instead of total reconstruction, a complete determination cannot be made at this time because of the ice and snow cover which makes it impossible to fully evaluate the condition of the existing pavement. He is recommending that the City wait until the ice and snow come off so they can more fully evaluate the street. If the City can overlay and not have to reconstruct the street, it will save approximately 1/3 of what the proposed cost was in the preliminary report. GME has recommended a new pavement design consisting of 6" Class 5 aggregate base with a minimum of 2-1/2" bituminous surface. This design is 1" less bituminous that was used in their preliminary report, which would reduce the estimated cost of the project by approximately $4,000.00 or 7%, if it is totally reconstructed. The City Engineer recommended that a final decision on this project be delayed until spring. The Mayor reopened the Public Hearing. DENISE LARSON, 5574 Sherwood Drive - asked when in the spring this would be considered again. The City Engineer recommended the first meeting in April. There were no further comments or questions from the public. The Mayor brought discussion back to the Council. The Council asked that the Engineer and the Staff be sure to notify all the residents involved of the possible assessments before April 8th Meeting. MOTION by Hanus, seconded by Jensen to continue the Public Hearing until the first Council Meeting in April, April 8, 1997, to allow the City Engineer time to evaluate the street after the snow and ice is gone and come back with a firm recommendation. Ail persons involved in the proposed assessment to be notified of the recommendation and the proposed assessment mounts prior to the April 8th Meeting. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.

The services of GME Consultants were retained to evaluate the soil conditions and recommend a street section and the feasibility of an overlay. The existing street was constructed with a 2" bituminous mat over 2 to 8feet of pit run fill, composed of sand, silty sand, and silt. Beneath the fill is naturally-occurring sandy clay. GME has recommended a new pavement design consisting of 6" Class 5 aggregate base with a minimum of 2-1/2" bituminous surface. This design is 1" less bituminous than we used in our preliminary report, which would reduce the estimated cost of the project by approximately $4,000.00, or 7%. The soils engineers also looked at the option of an overlay on the existing pavement, instead of total reconstruction. A complete determination cannot be made at this time because of the ice and snow cover which makes it impossible to fully evaluate the condition of the existing pavement. It may be possible to cut out and repair the worst areas and then overlay the entire street. In the spring, after the street is free of ice and snow, this option can be addressed. If at the time, it is determined that an overlay is feasible, the cost of the project could be reduced by as much as 35%. We are recommending that a final decision on this project be delayed until spring. Very truly yours, McCOMBS FRANK ROOS ASSOCIATES, INC.

Mound City Council - November 26, 1996 1.9 PUBLIC HEARING: PROPOSED PUBLIC ~ROVEMENTS TO SHERWOOD DRIVE. John Cameron, City Engineer, reviewed the feasibility report he had prepared. His conclusion was that it was feasible to complete this project as petitioned for by eight abutting property owners. (Councilrnember Jensen arrived at 7:50 PM) Mayor Polston opened the public hearing. Denise Larson, 5574 Sherwood Drive. She stated she did not sign the petition. She saw no problem with the road structurally. She was opposed to the improvement. She would be assessed the largest amount and would probably have to sell her home and move. She stated the improvement would really affect only a few houses on the end of the cul-de-sac. The people with the water in their basements should improve their own private property to prevent the water from running into their basements. Carl Hanson, 5501 Sherwood Drive. He stated that the street is not that bad. Maybe put an overlay on the top and add new curbing. He asked how often the street had been repaired? He had originally si~ed the petition, but now felt the cost was too high. He suggested the City do an overlay and keep the cost down. Bern/ce Putt, 5510 Sherwood Drive. She stated that she had signed the petition, but in seeing the est/mated cost, she felt it was too high also. Greg Eurich, 5535 Sherwood Drive. He stated he lived on the comer of County Road 110 and Sherwood Drive. His house is below the road, would more water run down his driveway when the road was improved? John Cameron, City Engineer, stated that the new curbing and current storm sewer would prevent more water from nmning into his driveway. Cameron stated that soil borings had not been done to see if the base of the road was in good shape. There were no documentation as to the number of repairs that Md been done and how often and what the cost was. He suggested a report be prepared by Mr. Skinner for information. He also suggested that mil borings could be done to test the base. Also, it could be possible to do an overlay and new curbs. The cost could be lowered by 1/3 if only an overlay and new curbs were done. Mayor Polston stated he didn't think that an overlay should be done if the road base was bad, that would only create a bad road in 2-3 years and not last the 20 year time of a totally new road. Reducing the cost could reduce the qual/ty of the road. Denise Larson asked if a report could be prepared by the Public Works Superintendent as to the repairs done. Mayor Polston asked if there were any comments either for or against the improvement project on Sherwood Drive. There were none. He closed the public hearing and returned the item to the Council. Councilmember Hanus suggested obtaining more information before proceeding with the project. City Attorney Pearson stated that the report was prepared according the request of the petitioners. Cameron stated that the project-needed 35 % of the frontage owners agreeing. The properties on the cul-de-sac, where the problem lies, has the least amount of frontage on Sherwood Drive. Mayor Polston suggested the public hearing be continued until repair reports and soil borings could be completed to see determine the need, and then discuss the improvement. MOTION by Ahrens, seconded by Hanus to continue the public h6aring on the improvement of Sherwood Drive until January 28, 1997, and authorize the city engineer to do necessary soil borings to determine the base of the road and repair reports be prepared. The motion carried 4-0.

If you have any questions or need additional information on this report, we will be pleased to discuss this further at your convenience. Very truly yours, McCOMBS FRANK ROOS ASSOCIATES, INC. John Cameron JC:pry Enclosures An Equal Opportunity Employer Sherwood Drive was constructed by a private developer in 1966 when the plat Sherwood Shores was created. The street was constructed with a bituminous surface and bituminous curb that directed nm-off from the cul-de-sac to Commerce Boulevard (County Road 110). This street was not considered for reconstruction when the other streets were done from 1978 to 1981 since it was already bituminous and only 12 to 14 years old. The sanitary sewer and watermain were also installed by the Developer in 1966. This street is now 30 years old and is need of major repairs or reconstruction. With the patching, seal coat and general disintegration, very little of the old curb is left to contain and direct run-off. A few of the homes were constructed with driveways that sloped away from the street and are experiencing water problems. STREET DESIGN The existing street surface and base would be removed to an acceptable subgrade. Any salvageable gravel base would be reused in the new street construction. The existing street is approximately 30 feet wide, whereas the proposed width would be 28 feet from back of curb to back of curb. This is the standard width used in the City for the last 20 years and allows for parking on one side only. The typical street section to be used will consist of a minimum of 6" Class 5 Gravel, 2" of Bituminous Base and a 1-1/2" Bituminous Wearing Course. CONCRETE CURB AND GUTTER The curb used would be the City's standard surmountable concrete curb and gutter with 3 foot concrete aprons at all driveways. The driveways disturbed by the construction will be restored in kind and the particular ones experiencing run-offproblems will be given special attention. The proposed street grade will be very close to what exists, thus the new curbs will be installed to match the existing yards as close as possible. All boulevard areas disturbed by the construction will be restored with 4" of black dirt and new sod. STORM SEWER No additional storm sewer is proposed for this project. In the mid 1980's, when Hennepin County upgraded County Road 110, they installed new catch basins on Sherwood Drive at the end of the curb radiuses fi.om 110. We are proposing to start the street reconstruction at this point. The entire length of Sherwood Drive is only 600 feet which is well under the allowable distance to drain water in the concrete gutters. We would recommend that the existing sanitary sewer line be televised prior to the street construction. This would allow for repairs if any broken or displaced pipe is discovered. The only other utility work proposed would be the adjustment of manhole castings and valve boxes to match the new bituminous surface. COST ESTIMATE The estimated cost of the street reconstruction as described herein is $61,800.00. A detailed breakdown of the costs are included with this report. The estimated cost are for 1997 construction and include 30% for engineering, legal, fiscal and administrative costs. 1230 COST ESTIMATE STREET CONSTRUCTION - SHERWOOD DRIVE ITEM QUANTITY ~ Bituminous Removal 2,300 SY $ 1.00/SY Common Excavation 400 CY $ 4.00ICY Concrete Curb & Gutter 1,350 LF $ 7.00/LF Concrete Driveway Aprons 860 SF $ 3.00/SF Class 5 Gravel 870 TN $ 10.00/TN Bituminous Base 230 TN $ 2$.00/TN Bituminous Wear 170 TN $ 32.00/TN Driveway Restoration 160 SY $ 10.00/SY Manhole Adjustment 4 EA $ 200.00/EA Gate Valve Adjustment 1 EA $ 150.00/EA Black Dirt 100 CY $ 7.00ICY Sod 1,000 SY $ 3.50/SY Contingencies (10%) Total Estimated Construction Cost Engineering, Legal, Fiscal and Administrative Cost (30%) Total Estimated Project Cost ESTIMATED $ 2,300,00 $ 1,600,00 $ 9,450.00 $ 2,580.00 $ 8,700.00 $ 6,440.00 $ 5,440.00 $ 1,600.00 $ 800.00 $ 150.00 $ 700.00 $ 3,500.00 $ 4.340.00 $ 47,600.00 $ 61,800.00 ASSESSMENT~ It has been the City's policy to assess most of the cost of the improvements to the benefiting properties. When the large reconstruction projects were done in the late 70's and early 80's, the City contributed 1 mill, which calculated to 1 to 1-12/% of the total cost of the project. For purposes of this report, we have included the area of the City fight-of-way in the assessment formula as a suggested City's share of the project. This would be approximately 3% of the total cost of the project. In 1976 the City adopted a street improvement assessment policy under Resolution No. 76-77. The assessment criteria is as follows: a. 30 percent of the total cost to be assessed shall be based on front footage (front and sides). All lots shall be deemed to have at least a minimum of 40 front feet. b. 30 percent of the total cost to be assessed shall be based on the square footage of the property to be assessed. c. 40 percent of the total cost to be assessed shall be based on a unit basis. Since 1976 the City Council has added the following refinements to the policy. 1. Triangle Lots - Lots that form a triangle on two streets are to be assessed for footage on the long side only. Multiple units are assessed on the basis of 3/4 unit per each residential unit in the building (example: a 50 unit apartment is assessed for 37.5 units plus footage plus area). Lots that front on a County Road and a street improvement will be assessed on the same basis as other lots except that the units and square footage will be reduced by 50 percent. 4. Lots that front on a street to be improved and which have previously been assessed for another street improvement project will be assessed for footage only. 5. Lots that have streets on three sides are to be assessed for footage on the long side and the average length of the other two sides. 6. The cost of driveway entrances over 12 feet wide are assessed directly to the property owner.

The final plat does not have any easement over the common area shown as Lot 11. Either a blanket drainage and utility easement over the entire lot is required or specific easements for the storm sewer, ponding, drainage, etc. The best solution is a blanket easement over the entire Lot 11. Also, the drainage easement for the wetlands must include everything designated as wetlands. A small area behind Lot 4 is omitted. 24. The City has not been furnished any drainage calculations. Copies of information submitted to the MCWD will be sufficient. 25. The proposed lift station must conform to the City's standard requirements. Additional information is needed such as specific requirements for the control panel, pump, valves, ultrasonic level transmitter, etc. In addition, the control panel must be located on a separate 4'x4' concrete pad in a location as approved by Public Works. The exact location of proposed lift station must also be approved by Public Works. 26. 27. Specifications and construction details must be submitted. Approval of the preliminary grading and drainage plan required that additional information in the form of more topography along the east side of the proposed plat at the existing garages on the adjacent property be provided. Additional topo was also requested south and east of Lot 10 and at the proposed street intersection with Three Points Boulevard. None of this information is on the final grading plan. City ordinance requires existing conditions within 100 feet, but we will accept less as long as the information provided is sufficient. 28. Our preliminary review also required additional information on the existing driveway immediately west of the proposed street. This has not been furnished. 29. The inlets to both storm sewer systems located in the yards adjacent to Lots 9 and 10 will need shallow 27" dia. catchbasin structures. 30. The proposed grade of the new street needs to be flatten more at the intersection with Three Points Boulevard. A slope closer to 2% is preferred. The 7% grade could be steeper, but not over 8% which is the maximum allowed by City code. 31.

The homeowners documents indicate that there are 15 lots, while the plat shows only 11 lots This discrepancy needs to be corrected. With the exception of the discrepancy noted above, the Declaration contains the necessary dedication of easements in favor of the City. There is a provision in the articles that allows the association to be dissolved and, upon dissolution, the common area to be dedicated to the public. If the dedication is refused, the property is transferred to any non-profit corporation, association, trust or organization devoted to a similar purpose.

In order for twin homes to be built on property zoned R- IA, a Conditional Use Permit needs to be approved to establish a Planned Development Area, and; WHEREAS, the project results in the following variances: Right-of-Way Width Cul-de-sac Right-of-Way (radius) Cul-de-sac Paved Street (radius) Lot Size (all Lots except 8) Lot Size - Lot 8 required proposed variance 50' 40' 10' 50' 40' 10' 40' 35' 5' 6,000 sf 3,440 sf 2,560 sf 6,000 sf 3,314 sf 2,686 sf WHEREAS, the ten (10) units comply with the maximum density allowable under the shoreland restrictions without the density bonuses that are allowed by the Code. The non- shoreland PDA standards would allow this site to have 14 units under R-IA zoning. As proposed, the net density equates to 8,569 square feet of land per unit, and; WHEREAS, the granting of the variances requested will not confer upon the applicant any special privilege that is denied owners of other lands in the same zone, and; WHEREAS, the proposed subdivision as conditioned is consistent with the comprehensive plan, and; WHEREAS, the proposed design as conditioned is consistent with applicable development plans and policies, and; WHEREAS, the physical characteristics of the site are suitable for the type and density of development contemplated if the conditions imposed herein are met, and; January 14, 1997 WHEREAS, according to the plan, 18 of the 34 trees on the site will be preserved, and; WHEREAS, the Mound Wetland Ordinance identifies the wetland contour in the area of the project as 929.5. A wetland delineation was completed for the site. All of the proposed units comply with the Watershed District's 35 foot setback requirements from the edge of the wetland, and; WHEREAS, this development will create nonconforming situations on the adjacent properties that are not pan of this development. A new street frontage will be created for the two residential lots that lie along Three Points Blvd. to the south of the site. Parcel 250 has a garage that is located approximately 5 feet from the property line and the home is located approximately 15 feet from the new right-of-way line creating variances of 15 feet and 5 feet respectively. Parcel 246 has a detached garage that is 16 feet from the new right-of-way resulting in a 4 foot variance from the 20 foot setback requirement. Future improvements to these homes may require approval of a variance. The construction of the new street is certainly grounds for approving (recognizing) variances for the existing conditions should such be necessary in the future, and; WHEREAS, the City has considered traffic and other aspects of the proposed project as it might affect public health, safety or welfare and impese conditions upon the approval addressing those considerations. The proposed twin homes would generate traffic ranging from 59 to 65 trips per day, according to published standards, and; W}IEREAS, adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary facilities are being provided, and; WHEREAS, The twin home use that is proposed is an appropriate land use for the existing site that lies between the condominium complex to the east and the business zoned property to the west, and; WHEREAS, the proposed project as conditioned will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, and; WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the request and unanimously recommended approval, with conditions, subject to the following findings of fact: Now that the property is rezoned, it could possibly have up to 14 units, therefore, the 10 units proposed is not a large impact. The proposed layout of the twin homes has a minimal impact on the overall land the roadway and cul-de-sac are typical of others that have recently been approved by the City and have worked well. The proposed lot sizes, including common areas, overall are beyond what is required in the R-IA zone. January 14, 1997 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Mound, Minnesota, to hereby: Approve the Preliminary Plat according to the attached Exhibit 'A', and approve a Conditional Use Permit to establish Maple Manors as a Planned Development Area, with variances, subject to the following conditions: 1.

Landscaping plans shall identify all plant materials by name, size (height or caliper) and root type and shall be compliant with the minimum planting sizes referenced in the City Code. Covenants, as submitted by the applicant shall be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. Escrow accounts shall be established as required by City Code and shall at all times, maintain a positive fund balance. o The preliminary plat shall be revised to show a 50 foot right-of-way for the land area between the two adjacent single family residential properties. Locate and show on the site plan the existing driveway to the westerly residence (Parcel 246) to determine if it needs to be relocated, and if so, the cost of relocating shall be born by the developer. o All drainage newly created by the development, either by excavating or building shall be maintained within the property so it does not go to the east and negatively impact any property to the east and that the provision be made that the engineer specifically look at that property abutting the east to determine that water flow stay within that property.

We had a chance to catch up on a lot of snow removal. We started the snow removal at the beginning of the month, by the end of the month we had our sweepers ready. At the very end of March we started sweeping our nine ton roads. We will be sweeping these roads for as long as we can here. The side streets still have frost and we can not sweep until the frost is gone. We have also been pot hole patching. The ice from November, December and January really took its toll on the main roads as far as pot holes goes. We are catching up on them, if you can say that. We had our vehicle inspections on our trucks. This is required every year. It went fairly well. There were a few problems and we sent the vehicles to Gary's Diesel, who has the contract for the big vehicles. Many of the repairs we were able to do in our shop. Maintenance on the vehicles was needed as the winter months took its toll on the equipment with the ice and the amount of snow we had to push. For 1997, most of our auto equipment repair fund is pretty well gone and our equipment parts line item fund are gone. Hopefully, we start the snow season at the end of 1997, things go well. Haven't been able to repair signs yet. We did put a "Slow Children" sign on Island View Drive and Devon. It looks like for the next month, we will be heavy into sweeping. We will have shifts of 4 ten hour days. We will start repairing roads from the watermain breaks that we had over the winter. The only plus this winter is that we did not have many watermain breaks. printed on recycled paper Public Works Department March 1997 Monthly Report April 3, 1997 Page 2 Water Department Basically, we are just about through with our meter project, changing them out. We had big meters, up to 4 inch, that we had to change that were not in the initial project. The last one is Grandview School, should be done in April, then we are done. We noticed a big change in consumption by changing from a turbine meter to a compound meter in these places that use a lot of water. We actually picked up the small flow along with the high flow. So there has been a noticeable increase there. The meter system seems to be working fine. We are still dealing with Schlumberger with some of the bad heads that we get. We are getting a handle on this. Schlumberger has been good about taking back the defective heads and replacing them, and paying the City for their time to change them out. Sewer Department We had such nice weather at the end of March, we started cleaning wet wells. We hope to have this done by the end of April. Then, we hope to clean the sewer lines. We will probably be a month ahead being we are starting in April. Last year we got quite a bit cleaned and we hope to clean a lot more than last year with this new machine, which seems to be working out very well for us.

Gross sales were $114,497. That is just about what we did in March of the previous year. Easter, as usual, gave us a good boost. Sales for the Saturday before the holiday were $10,500. That is about $1000 more than last year's Easter Eve. I think though that those extra sales can be attributed to the fact that the Minnesota Gopher Basketball Team was playing in the final four for the NCAA Basketball Championship. Alas, they went down in defeat, but their efforts contributed $250 in profits for the City. Way to go Gophers!

This year, without a good ground freeze, we lost the rinks early with the first warm spell in late February. We have already begun to ready the summer equipment such as the mowers. The Depot building has been contracted for the new siding, windows, facia and doors. This work will begin in April and finish the first part of May. The summer staff is all returning except for one person on the mowing crew. We are currently advertising for full-time season help and hope to hire someone soon. Docks March is the last month that dock permits can be renewed. All non-renewed dock sites are those we issue to the new applicants, of which we have 44 people on the waiting list. We will be well short of docks this year for new applicants. The demand is increasing a little each new year. Cemetery Phil Haugen is returning as the caretaker for 1997. With the winter burials there is a lot of work to be done before Memorial Day in May. Trees There were no tree removals for March.

Legislative Conference On Thursday, March 20, Ed and I attended the 1997 Legislative Conference. Many legislative issues were discussed by the leadership of the League of Cities and its staff. Again this year, the two major areas of concern to us are the State Aid to local governments and the property tax reform. Other issues of concern relate to Tax Increment Financing and Public Rights of Way. Investment Training Seminar On March 19 I attended the Investment Training Seminar sponsored by the Minnesota Government Finance Officers Association. It was held in St. Cloud. A review of current statues on investment was presented by David Kenney, an attorney from the State Auditor Office. Required disclosures in financial reports of Cities was reviewed by a practicing auditor with emphasis on risk. All types of investment instruments were reviewed and the related risk implications were discussed. Al Erickson of Springsted, Inc. went over the elements that investment policies for Cities should include. It was a well attended seminar and it gave me the opportunity to be brought up to date on the subject.

The major cases that are currently being processed are the Seton Bluff PDA and Westonka School's CUP for the proposed administration building at the Shirley Hills site. Staff is tracking the number of cases that are impacted or that do not require a variance since the ordinance for the streamlining of variances has been adopted, and there is nothing to report to-date for 1997. Note: Road weight limit restrictions are in effect and will be on until about May 15.

Absent and excused were: Commissioners Jerry Clapsaddle, Geoff Michael, and Bill Voss The following people were also in attendance: Mark L. Case, Mark Thiede, Bert Haglund, Sandy Wing, Tom Samuelson, Andrea Ahrens, Frank Ahrens, and Sharon McMenamy-Cook. MINUTES The Planning Commission Minutes of March 10, 1997 were presented for approval. MOTION made by Weiland, seconded by Glister, to approve the Planning Commission Minutes of March 10, 1997 as written. Motion carried 5 to 1. Hanus abstained. CASE 97-08: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT WESTONKA PUBLIC SCHOOLS (SHIRLEY HILLS PRIMARY SCHOOL) "PUBLIC SCHOOL & ADMIN. OFFICES" & "LICENSED DAY CARE & PRESCHOOL" 2450 WlLSHIRE BLVD., 24-117-24 12 0059 Bruce Chamberlain, Assistant City Planner, reviewed the Planning Report. The Westonka School District is seeking approval of a conditional use permit to construct an addition containing classrooms and administrative offices at the Shirley Hills School site. This request was first heard by the Planning Commission on February 10th which showed the proposed improvements along Wilshire Blvd. south of the existing school, and was subsequently tabled. On February 24th, representatives of the school district discussed with the Planning Commission the pros and cons of the original building location south of the existing school compared to an alternative location for the building on the northeast side of the school. As a result of that discussion, the school district has revised its plan and is requesting approval of the northeast location. The plans call for construction of a 29,242 square foot addition to the existing 67,188 square foot school. The two story addition will house facilities accommodating a preschool, Early Childhood Family Education, Early Childhood Special Education, Special Services, Adult Basic Education, District Administration and Community Education. A new playground will be added south of the new addition to handle the needs of the preschool programs. The proposed building addition lies east of the existing school building which creates a courtyard that is framed by the existing building and the west wall of the new addition. The courtyard area will be landscaped. Planning Commission' Minutes March 24, 1997 The plan shows the creation of 7 new parking stalls, 2 of which are handicapped spaces behind the existing school. Based on parking requirements for the existing school and new addition, the site has a total need for 162 parking spaces. The plan provides a total of 187 spaces, many of which are in the lot that was constructed on a shared basis with St. John's Church. The 7 new parking spaces that are to be built off of the drop off drive measure 9' x 18' in size, spaces less than 10' x 20' require a variance. The 9' x 18' stall size is consistent with the existing parking lot and most other lots constructed in Mound in recent years. The drop-off times, storm drainage, landscaping and signage was reviewed. The entrance sign, as proposed is 40 square feet in size and five feet from the property line which does not conform to the ordinance. Staff does not see either hardship or need for a sign that exceeds the ordinance requirements. The plan for the addition to the Shirley Hills School campus to house classrooms and administrative offices complies with all of the Mound ordinance criteria with the exception of the parking stall size and sign variances. Staff recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of a conditional use permit to establish the proposed use including the preschool (13 or more) subject to the following conditions: A parking lot stall size variance is hereby approved allowing spaces to be 9' x 18' in lieu of the required 10' x 20'. o Plans dated 3/6/97 including sheets R-CUP2 through R-CUP5 are incorporated into this conditional use permit approval. 3. Proposed signage shall comply with the Mound Sign Ordinance. 4. Grading and drainage plans shall require Minnehaha Creek Watershed District approval. A pattern of one-way circulation shall be established in the drop off drive area with the westbound access point serving as the entrance and the eastern access point serving as the exit. The entire drop off lane shall be signed as a no parking area. The three Canada Red Chokecherry trees that are shown in the parking lot islands adjacent to the entrance and exit of the drop off area shall be replaced by overstory trees. The applicant shall resubmit a copy of the Preliminary Utility, Grading and Drainage Plan for review and approval by the City Engineer. The plan shall clearly note proposed erosion control measures. Additionally, a Post Indicator Valve (P.I.V.) should be added to the new 6" water service to the building, calculations should be provided for new hydrants which show projected pressure and flows, and the status of the existing hydrant between the existing structure and Wilshire Blvd. shall be clarified. The proposed sanitary sewer service connection will require street excavation because the existing sanitary sewer is located in the center of Maywood Road rather than behind the curb as shown on the plan. Restoration of the street shall be subject to the requirements of the City Engineer. 2 Planning Commission Minutes March 24, 1997 Weiland referred to condition//7, and expressed a concern that there may be additional changes that may affect the plan. Chamberlain commented that they do not expect anything of consequence that would affect approval or denial of this application and that any plan changes can be signed-off by the engineer and would not need to come back to the Planning Commission. Hanus asked about the holding pond. Chamberlain noted that the pond will be enlarged according to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District requirements for stormwater management. Hanus questioned why they should grant a variance to parking stall size since they have more stalls that what is required. Chamberlain noted that 9' x 18' stalls are what is common in Mound, and the existing parking lot which is leased by St. John's has 9' x 18' stalls. Hanus suggested that maybe the code needs to be changed. Chair Mueller opened the floor for comments. There being nobody expressing an interest to speak on the issue, Chair Mueller closed public comments. Mueller recognized a letter which was mailed to the homes of some of the Commissioners from Marilyn Hostetler. Mueller summarized that the letter expresses concerns with regards to how the addition will affect the kids in the classes, visibility, and the lack of notification to parents regarding issues important to citizens who have children in the school. The letter is attached to these minutes as Exhibit A. Reifschneider asked if the landscaping in the courtyard will be a requirement of this permit. It was confirmed that condition #2 incorporates the plans labeled R-CUP2 through R-CUP5 which includes the landscaping plan. Bert Haglund commented, in reference to the parking stall size, with this plan, the number of spaces existing in the dual purpose parking lot will be reduced from 112 to 104 spaces, and they would like to maintain as many stalls as possible. Mueller agreed that now would be the time to change the code relating to parking stall sizes. Hanus agreed, and noted that it was also their intention to review the sign ordinance, however, it has not been addressed yet. Mueller asked Bert Haglund if the school had any concerns or objections to the conditions presented by staff. Haglund stated they had no disagreement with the conditions. MOTION made by Burma, seconded by Mueller to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit as recommended by staff including the conditions with the following modifications/comments: #1 A parking lot stall size variance is hereby approved allowing spaces to be 9' x 18' in lieu of the required 10' x 20' to be consistent with the balance of the parking lot. Planning Commission Minutes March 24, 1997 This condition should remain as written, and if variances arise as a result of the revised drawings, the Planning Commission would accept the City Engineers's recommendation. A finding of fact with respect to the parking stall size variance is that the number of parking stalls on the site exceed the number required by 25 which allows the opportunity to have smaller size stalls and still not push the limit. Hanus encouraged the Commission to act on this request, but stated that he will abstain because the City is now going to start having meetings with the School Board relative to saving the existing Community Center site downtown which could include some uses proposed at this site, so he is not prepared to vote at this time. Weiland stated that he feels Hanus should vote on the request because this is the issue in front of us now. Reifschneider stated that he is not in favor of this plan because of the increased traffic to the site and feels that it does not belong on this site. He prefers this plan to the first plan, but feels there is a better place in Mound for this use. MOTION carried 3-2-1. Those in favor were Muller, Glister and Burma. Those opposed were Reifschneider and Weiland. Hanus abstained. This case will be heard by the City Council on April 8, 1997. CASE 97-13: VARIANCE FOR NEW DWELLING WHYTE BUILDERS INC., 5090 WINDSOR ROAD LOT 4, BLOCK 1, TEAL POINTE, 25-117-24 12 0234 Building Official, Jon Sutherland, reviewed the Planning Report. The applicant, Brad White, is seeking approval of a front yard variance in order to construct a new home in the Teal Pointe development. Lot 4 is located on the corner of the improved Windsor Road and the unimproved Cobden Lane and because it is a coruer lot, is subject to A 20 foot front yard from both roads. The home is proposed to be located 10 feet from the Cobden Lane right-of-way which would be a normal side yard setback. When the preliminary plat for Teal Pointe was submitted the developer had originally proposed the vacation of Cobden Lane. After public hearings, the Council denied the vacation request. The general conclusion was that Cobden Lane would probably never be improved for street purposes. The preliminary plat that was filed for' Teal Pointe incorrectly identified a 10 foot setback requirement from the Cobden Lane right-of-way. The plat was drawn assuming setbacks with the right-of-way being vacated. Locating a home within 10 feet of the line does not compromise future use of Cobden as either a formally marked or informally used public trail. Even if utilities were needed in the future, 4 Planning Commission Minutes March 24, 1997 they could be placed within the right-of-way without being hampered by the location of the proposed home. The fact that Cobden Lane is likely to be held by the public as perpetual open space and the fact that the new home does not compromise the future use of the public right-of-way are grounds for a finding by the Planning Commission that this case satisfies the existence of practical difficulty. Staff recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the requested 10 foot front yard setback variance to allow the proposed home to be placed 10 feet from the right-of-way of Cobden Lane. The facts of this case support a finding of practical difficulty. Sutherland noted that the applicant requested a refund of the application fee and that staff sees no reason to waive the fee, however, this decision can be made by the Council. Reifschneider questioned if a house can be built up to an easement. Staff confirmed there is no setback requirement from an easement. Hanus commented that a house width of 50 feet is not minimal and suggested the structure could be deeper rather than wider. Sutherland commented that a 50 foot wide house would better match the houses in the rest of the neighborhood. In addition, the applicant had the understanding and belief the setback was 10 feet and designed the house as such. The history of this plat was reviewed in relation to what happened with the first denial of the vacation of Cobden Lane. It was noted that if Cobden would have been vacated they could have built a wider house on this lot. Mueller feels that Cobden acts more like a fire lane or alley and a side setback should apply. It was questioned if other lots are affected in this subdivision because the road did not get vacated. Hanus noted that Lot 3 is affected. Sutherland commented there may be a proposal to build one house on Lots 1, 2, & 3 and he has discussed the potential for other variances with the Planner. Sutherland noted that because we do not know what is coming for those lots, they should concentrate on this application alone. Weiland expressed a concern that the building envelope is buildable, and questioned why a variance should be granted just to allow a bigger house. Reifschneider commented that Cobden is steep and inaccessible, and he would have preferred vacating the street with an easement. He hates to see variances, but because Cobden will never be improved and because the other houses have 10 foot side setbacks, he would be in favor of a variance being granted. Burma agreed with Weiland that the building envelope easily allows for a dwelling without a variance, and does not feel a variance should be granted just because a mistake was possibly made. Planning Commission Minutes March 24, 1997 Sutherland commented that after the original vacation request was denied, staff would have recommended approval of the ten foot side yard setback anyway because Cobden will not be improved and will continue to be green space. The impact of a reduced setback towards unimproved Cobden is minimal. Mueller commented that if the 20 foot setback is enforced you will have a 30 foot wide strip of green space, plus two 20 foot strips on each abutting property resulting in a 70 foot wide strip of unbuildable green space. He suggested the Commission be realistic and emphasized that staff feels it is reasonable. Burma stated that he is worried about setting a precedent. Mueller commented that maybe the ordinance needs to be changed as it relates to setbacks to unimproved right-of-ways since there are so many roads platted in the City that run through wetlands and on steep slopes that will never be improved. A lot of the unimproved right-of-ways are used as green space or access to docks. MOTION made by Reifschneider, seconded by Hanus to recommend approval of the ten foot side yard setback variance as recommended by staff. Motion failed 3 to 3. Those in favor were: Reifschneider, Mueller, and Hanus. Those opposed were: Weiland, Glister, and Burma. Vice-Chair Mueller stated that this case will be forwarded to the City Council with no recommendation. This case will be heard by the Council on March 25, 1997. Weiland commented that he was opposed to be motion because of the amount of square footage and what the building envelope is, and because they could go deeper with the house. Mueller commented that he feels the variance is reasonable. DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT Bruce Chamberlain explained that he would like the Commission to start talking about the issue of overall design for the pedestrian district so that when developers do come on board they can understand what the City's goals are. He reviewed, when the Mound Visions process began, the focus was on Auditors Road and it still is today. When looking at conceptual ways for laying out downtown, one way was that we wanted a traditional character for downtown. They looked at buildings along Auditors Road and then continuing north on Commerce Blvd. There was never a strong resolution about how to connect the Auditors Road area to the area north of the tracks. Chamberlain recalled that Clapsaddle had a concern about not having a strong connection between the two areas, and agrees that this issue needs to be resolved. Chamberlain introduced Sharon Cook, the only member of the EDC able to attend the meeting, and opened discussion on how the Planning Commission sees the two areas being connected. Chamberlain displayed visual aids depicting the area proposed as the pedestrian district and reviewed what is being proposed for development along Auditors Road. The concept is that people will come into the pedestrian district, park their cars, then walk to the streetscape and Planning Commission Minutes March 24, 1997 walk around the pedestrian 'loop', do their shopping on foot, then return to their car. Having the parking in the center of the pedestrian district with spokes, or access drives, leading to Auditors, Commerce and Shoreline was reviewed. Chamberlain commented that what needs to be talked about now is how to make sure this is a highly pedestrian district which will pull shoppers and visitors through the entire district by making it easy, convenient and fun and to make sure that no businesses are left in a dark corner. Chamberlain noted that you have to keep in mind, assuming the railroad tracks will remain, that another crossing may not get approved. Options such as a bridge, skyway, and tunneling to get across the tracks were discussed. Chamberlain reviewed what stores we assume will remain, those are John's Variety, Netka's building, the old bank, Crow River Bank, Brickley's and Coast to Coast. Chamberlain noted that a portion of the building where Brickley's is located will eventually need to be removed when Shoreline Drive is changed. Mueller commented that we don't want two separate downtowns, and suggested the option of building a parking ramp over the railroad right-of-way. Chamberlain briefly reviewed the presentations heard by the Council at their last COW meeting from two developers who expressed an interest in the Mound Visions project. Dunbar Development's proposal was for retail with residential housing above, whereas Laurent/Parks Development proposed retail with office space above. Laurent/Parks also expressed an interest in insuring the character of existing structures not be degraded by the new construction, and if existing structures are to remain they would do facade changes. The Council also received a letter of interest from Northern Hospitality regarding their interest in locating a Hotel on the Lost Lake Site. Chamberlain noted that 110 ~ill have less traffic and will hopefully feel more friendly for future businesses. They hope they can get approval from the County to allow on-street parking on 110 if the traffic count is reduced. It was noted that Mr. Dodds has talked about expanding the Coast to Coast store to include a lumber yard, and concern was expressed about how this would fit into the plan of a pedestrian district. Mueller noted that existing tenants, such as Brickley's Market and the Laundromat will need to be relocated. Sharon suggested that more service oriented businesses could be placed to the north side of the pedestrian district, and the buildings could have a retail type facade. Mueller suggested that the area north of the tracks on the east end be designated for parking due to the shape of the land and the traffic pattern, and then build on the northwest comer with a walkway possibly through the middle a building to provide access to Commerce. (Commissioner Weiland was dismissed from the meeting.) la'lo Planning Commission Minutes March 24, 1997 Mueller raised the fact that there will need to be more parking and he is in favor of parking ramps. Hanus asked how much retail this area can support, and how much parking will be required? Chamberlain noted that they will be at their limit for parking with the retail proposed. If additional buildings are added, more parking will be needed. It was agreed that the Auditors Road portion of the plan needs to be developed first, it would be phase I. Parking ramps, skyways, and crossing Commerce Blvd. were discussed. Chamberlain briefly reviewed options ..that have been discussed for the senior center relocation. Hanus informed the Commission about the Council's intent to try and work with the school on redeveloping the existing community center building. It was agreed that Chamberlain would return to the Planning Commission on April 21st to talk about the concept and zoning for the Auditor's Road area. CITY COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE'S REPORT The secretary noted that Weiland had a question for Hanus at the last meeting. Weiland is to be reminded to talk to Hanus about his question. ADJOURNMENT MOTION made by Reifschneider, seconded by Burma, to adjourn the meeting at 10:22 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. Chair, Geoff Michael Attest: 8 Planning Commission Minutes MARCH 20, 1997 Exhibit A, Page 1 of 3 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION, CITY OF MOUND Ill, March 24, 1997 RECEIVED ItlAR 2 ~ 1997 I.*':,OUt~[9 PL^N~,IING & Ir'IS?, RE: PLANNED ADDITION TO SHIRLEY HILLS ELEMENTARY, WESTONKA EDUCATION AND SERVICE CENTER. I AM WRITING THIS LETTER TO INFORM THE COMMISSION OF SOME OF MY CONCERNS . WHY THIS SITE? THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER AREAS IN MOUND AVAILABLE FOR THIS TYPE OF FACILITY. WHY, IF THE SAFETY AND WELFARE OF OUR STUDENTS IS POSSIBLY GOING TO BE JEOPARDIZED WOULD WE CONSIDER THIS SITE. IS THE COMMISSION AWARE THAT TWELVE OF THE NINETEEN CLASSROOMS IN SHIRLEY HILLS ARE GOING TO BE DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY THIS ADDITION? THAT IS OVER SIXTY-PERCENT. HOW MANY TIMES WILL OUR CHILDREN BE ROTATED INTO THOSE SAME ROOMS IN THERE 4 YEAR CAREER IN THIS BUILDING. IT IS A PROVEN FACT THAT PEOPLE AND STUDENTS WHO WORK IN AN OPEN AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT ARE MORE PRODUCTIVE THAN THOSE WHOSE ENVIRONMENT IS CLOSED OFF FROM NATURE AND LIGHT. HAVE ANY OF THE MEMBERS OF YOUR COMMISSION TAKEN THE TIME TO GO AND LOOK AT THE CLASSROOMS AFFECTED IF THIS SITE IS APPROVED? OUR DISTRICT HAS ALREADY LOST SEVERAL OF IT'S NATURE AREAS, WHY DO WE WANT TO DISTURB EVEN ONE MORE? THIS WILL END THE POSSIBILITY TO EXPAND THE SHIRLEY HILLS PEACE GARDEN WITH THE PLACEMENT OF EVEN MORE BLACKTOP, MORTAR AND BRICK. THE ADDITION WILL ALSO BRING MORE TRAFFIC TO THIS SITE WHICH IS A CONCERN TO ME WITH REGARDS TO THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN. THE PLAN NOW UNDER CONSIDERATION IS NOT THE PLAN MOST OF THE PARENTS WERE FAMILIAR WITH. THAT PLAN TO MY UNDERSTANDING Ig'12 Planning Commission Minutes March 24, 1997 Exhibit A, Page 2 of 3 HAS BEEN REJECTED AND THIS PLAN WAS JUST RECENTLY SUBMITTED. IN FACT THE COPY OF THE NEW PLAN THAT I RECEIVED FROM THE CITY IS DATED MARCH 6, 1997. THIS DOES NOT AFFORD MUCH TIME FOR THE PARENTS OF CHILDREN WHO ATTEND SHIRLEY HILLS TO RESPOND. I AM AWARE THAT A PUBLIC HEARING BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION IS NOT NECESSARY, ALTHOUGH I WOULD THINK THAT MORALLY AND ETHICALLY THE ADMINISTRATION AND SCHOOL BOARD WOULD HOLD SUCH A HEARING TO BETTER INFORM THOSE PARENTS OF STUDENTS WHO ATTEND SHIRLEY HILLS SCHOOL. A NOTE GIVEN TO STUDENTS TO TAKE HOME TO THEIR PARENTS, MOST OF WHICH ARE NOT READ AND HALF OF WHICH GET LOST EN-ROUTE IS NOT AN ADEQUATE WAY TO INFORM THE PARENTS OF THE STUDENT THIS WILL AFFECT. NOW THAT THE CHILDREN HAVE HAD PEACE FOR ONE YEAR AFTER THE LAST CONSTRUCTION, ANOTHER PERIOD OF CONSTRUCTION WILL HAVE TO BE ENDURED. CHILDREN WHO ARE CONSTANTLY BEING DISTRACTED BY NOISE AND MOVEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION FIND IT HARD TO CONCENTRATE. THE WINDOWS AGAIN WILL HAVE TO REMAIN CLOSED IN A BUILDING WHERE VENTILATION IS POOR AND NO AIR CONDITIONING IS AVAILABLE. I ALSO FIND IT HARD TO VISUALIZE THIS NEW PLAN WHEN THERE ARE NO MEASUREMENTS ON THE SITE PLAN AND NO ELEVATIONS TO TRULY INDICATE THE AFFECT THIS WILL HAVE ON THE PRESENT BUILDING. I HOPE THIS LETTER WILL HELP THE COMMISSION BECOME AWARE THAT IF PARENTS OF STUDENTS WERE PROPERLY INFORMED ABOUT THE NEW PROPOSAL THAT THERE WOULD BE WIDE SPREAD OBJECTION TO THIS NEW SITE. IN READING THIS LETTER I HOPE YOU ALL UNDERSTAND THE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR DECISION WITH REGARDS TO THIS SITE. I HOPE TOO THAT YOU TOGETHER WITH THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE SCHOOL 10 Planning Commission Minutes March 24, 1997 Exhibit A, Page 3 of 3 BOARD FIND A WAY TO TRULY INFORM THE PARENTS OF THE STUDENTS THAT THIS DECISION WILL SERIOUSLY AFFECT. ONE OTHER ISSUE OF CONCERN IS WHO IS PAYING FOR THIS ADDITION? IS THIS WHERE OUR MONEY FROM THE LAST REFERENDUM IS BEING SPENT? ARE THERE NOT OTHER AREAS OF NEED WHERE THIS TYPE OF EXPENDITURE CAN BE BETTER UTILIZED? THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY OF PRESENTING SOME OF MY VIEWS REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

This letter is enclosed and summarizes the Comprehensive Improvement Assistance Program (CIAP) funding process available to the Housing Authority of Mound, on a competitive basis. It also advises the Mayor not to solely depend on CIAP funds but to also pursue other avenues to accomplish the improvement needs. Norb Kowalczyk of our staff also contacted Karol Charon, the Executive Director of the Mound Housing Authority, and they both discussed some of the funding avenues mentioned in the letter. Ms Karol Charon is familiar with the CIAP process since the Housing Authority has received CIAP funds in the past. If we can be of further assistance, please contact Norb Kowalczyk at 612/370-3204.

Thank you for your concern on improvin9 the Indian Knoll Manor in order to provide a healthy environment for it's tenants. Your request as submitted, however, cannot be approved for HUD funding. HUD has a program, Comprehensive Improvement Assistance Program (CIAP), that should be available for you to apply for in the very near future, possibly even this quarter. You will be notified of the fund availability for this pro~ram by HUD Washington. This program is competitive, however, and will be available for all small PHAs throughout Minnesota. I would advise not borrowin~ a~ainst these funds as they are very competitive and may not be available for your use. Your request, as is, would not qualify for emergency fundin~ under the CIAP program. Also, I would advise you not to solely depend on CIAP funds but to pursue other avenues to accomplish your improvements needs. Other sources could be the City of Mound and Hennepin County funds from the CDBG pro~ram, tax levy funds from the City of Mound, local bank ~rants under the Community Reinvestment Act, and other ~rants that you may find through yours or your staff's experience. If you have any question about the CIAP program, please contact Norb Kowalczyk or Deb Kravik at 612/370-3204.

Ken Schilling, Hennepin County Sheriff's Water Patrol, reviewed the request for rescue equipment as detailed in the 3/6/97 memo. He stated the Water Patrol has coordinated a joint effort with the State Patrol regarding ice rescues in January and noted this request would provide equipment necessary in these rescues. He stated the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board of Directors Meeting March 26, 1997 Page 2 three dry suits would augment what they currently have, and that they do not currently have the other rescue equipment outlined in the memo. He entertained questions from the Board. The Board addressed questions to Sgt. Schilling regarding the request. They discussed whether the request is consistent with past requests approved for the Water Patrol, and whether it is consistent with funding criteria adopted by the Board on 4/27/94 for Save the Lake funds. MOTION: Nelson moved, Reese seconded to resurrect the original motion from the 3/12/97 Board meeting to approve dry suits and accessories, and rescue equipment as outlined in the memo.

VOTE ON MOTION TO AMEND: Ayes (6), Nayes (2, Reese and Gilman); Motion to amend carried.

WATER STRUCTURES A. Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District, Discussion on Public Hearing for new multiple dock license application.

They noted there is a need to address the emergency vehicle slips and include it Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board of Directors Meeting March 26, 1997 Page 4 towards the number of Boat Storage Units (BSU's) identified in this plan. Because the applicant had stated there is 1,000' of continuous shoreline, and the proposed application already includes 20 transient BSU's, there is a need to reduce one somewhere. ~Rascop asked Don Deveau, representing the applicant, if some working plan had · been discussed with the LMCD regarding enforcement of LMCD ordinances. Deveau stated he would have to check into this and report back. MOTION: Rascop moved, Partyka seconded to approve the Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District multiple dock license for 1997 consisting of 20 BSU's, subject to resolving storage of emergency vehicle with LMCD staff.

Nelson outlined concerns addressed by Ron Kaegle in letters he had sent out to the Board. The Board discussed the application in length. Foster stated two competing forces need to considered in this proposed application. They are 1) this is one of the most crowded areas of the lake, and 2) this would increase destination points for transient parking as outlined in the Management Plan. MOTION: Foster moved, Gihnan seconded to approve the new multiple dock and special density license applications for 1997 for Lord Fletchers of the Lake. VOTE: Ayes (7), Nayes (1, Reese); Motion carried. Staff was directed to work with the applicant to get a multiple dock license application for the boats that are tied on the island. D.

ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, Chair Babcock adjourned the meeting at 9:07 p.m. Douglas Babcock, Chair Joe Zwak, Secretary LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT ITEM 2.D April 3, 1997 TO: FROM: Board of Directors r~~tor~ ~ Greg Nybeck, Executive Di SUBJECT: Harrison Harbor Twinhome Assoc. Harrison Harbor Twinhome Association has made application for a new multiple dock license, with minor change, for 1997. The applicant is currently considered a conforming structure on Lake Minnetonka because the facility consists of seven Boat Storage Units (BSU's) on 425' of continuous shoreline. With a density of one watercraft for every 61 feet of shoreline, it conforms to the one watercraft for every 50 feet of shoreline rule established by LMCD Code. The applicant has proposed one minor change. Currently, slip 1 is located adjacent to the main walkway leading out to the main structure. The applicant has proposed a minor change that would relocate slip 1 to the north side of slip 7. Staff needs to point out two details that have not been documented properly on the proposed site plan. First, it is not clear where the extended side site line is located to the north of slip I. Second, it is not clear on how much side setback would be maintained from this extended side site line. LMCD Code requires a 10' side setback be maintained for the first 50' of dock that extends into the lake from the 929.4' lake elevation. The Code also requires that this side setback be double when a multiple dock abuts a non-multiple dock. In this proposed application, a minimum 20' side setback needs to be complied with from the northern extended side site line next to slip 1. If the extended side site lines can be illustrated while maintaining required side setbacks in compliance with LMCD Code, staff recommends this application be approved.

LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT ITEM 2.D April 3, 1997 TO: FROM: Board of Directors r~~ior~ ~ Greg Nybeck, Executive Di SUBJECT: Harrison Harbor Twinhome Assoc. Harrison Harbor Twinhome Association has made application for a new multiple dock license, with minor change, for 1997. The applicant is currently considered a conforming structure on Lake Minnetonka because the facility consists of seven Boat Storage Units (BSU's) on 425' of continuous shoreline. With a density of one watercraft for every 61 feet of shoreline, it conforms to the one watercraft for every 50 feet of shoreline rule established by LMCD Code. The applicant has proposed one minor change. Currently, slip ! is located adjacent to the main walkway leading out to the main structure. The applicant has proposed a minor change that would relocate slip 1 to the north side of slip 7. Staff needs to point out two details that have not been documented properly on the proposed site plan. First, it is not clear where the extended side site line is located to the north of slip 1. Second, it is not clear on how much side setback would be maintained from this extended side site line. LMCD Code requires a 10' side setback be maintained for the first 50' of dock that extends into the lake from the 929.4' lake elevation. The Code also requires that this side setback be double when a multiple dock abuts a non-multiple dock. In this proposed application, a minimum 20' side setback needs to be complied with from the northern extended side site line next to slip 1. If the extended side site lines can be illustrated while maintaining required side setbacks in compliance with LMCD Code, staff recommends this application be approved.
