At the December 13, 1994, City Council Meeting, the City Council approved
amendments to the Water & Sewer Ordinance allowing for a 5 % rate increase in both
the water and sewer rates for 1995 pursuant to City Council action in 1993. Questions
were raised by the Council concerning provisions in the ordinance re: water and sewer
connections and the apparent conflict with existing ordinances which require residences
to be hooked up to city water and sewer. The Council directed staff to research these
provisions to see if they should be deleted. Staff has determined that the provisions
should be retained because there are instances where properties in Minnetfista which
border Mound, request hookup to either water or sewer and these provisions that are
being questioned would apply in those particular instances. Therefore, staff is
recommending that the provisions be retained.

MINUTES - MOUND CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 13, 1994
The City Council of Mound, Hennepin County, Minnesota, met in regular session on Tuesday,
December 13, 1994, in the Council Chambers at 5341 Maywood Road, in said City.
Those present were: Mayor Skip Johnson, Councilmembers Andrea Ahrens, Liz Jensen, and
Phyllis Jessen and Ken Smith. Also present were: City Manager Edward J. Shukle, Jr., City
Clerk Fran Clark, City Attorney Curt Pearson, Building Official Jon Sutherland, and the
following interested citizens: Darryl Frederickson, Bob Bittle, Doug & Dana Kraay, and Denis
Bailey.
The Mayor opened the meeting and welcomed the people in attendance.
The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.
1.0 MINUTES
MOTION made by Jessen, seconded by Ahrens to approve the Minutes of the
November 22, 1994, Regular Meeting and the November 29, 1994, Truth in
Taxation/Budget Hearing, as submitted. The vote was unanimously in favor.
Motion carried.
1.1
CASE g94-73: HENNEPIN COUNTY (DENIS BAILEY), 4977 WILSHIRE BLVD.,
(VACANT LOT), LOT 8, BLOCK 18, WYCHWOOD, PID //24-117-24 14 0068,
VARIANCE FOR FENCE HEIGHT
The Building Official explained the Hennepin County is seeking an after the fact variance for
the height of a fence that was installed on Emerald Lake in August. The fence is installed across
both the County right-of-way and one private property. This public and private land has for
years been used as a fishing site. The Planning Commission recommended denial on a 4 to 1
vote.
Doug Kraay, owner of the property between the County right-of-way and the lake explained that
litter and his liability if persons were injured on his private property prompted him to contact
the County about fencing the area.
Denis Bailey, Hennepin County, agreed that this area is one of the worst problem areas in the
county as far as litter and tresspassing on private property. He stated that the fence is the cost
effective solution to correct these problems. He further stated that he does not know of another
area in Mound that has this unique problem with private property and county right-of-way.
Darryl Frederickson, 2930 Bradford Lane, stated that he has fished this area for years and does
not like it being closed off.
Mound City Council Minutes December 13, 1994
The Council discussed the fact the issue is the fence height not the ability to fish or not fish.
The Building Official stated that the City Planner's recommendation was as follows in part:
"The County's installation of the fence perpendicular to the wall is the least visually obstrusive
of the two fencing options considered. Short of anyone identifying a workable solution to the
litter and trespassing problems, approval of the fence height variance allowing the six foot high
fence seems to be the Only viable alternative."

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

SUPPLEMENTARY PLANNING REPORT

DATE: Januaxy 5, 1995
SUB,IECT: Preliminary and Final Plat Approval for Teal Pointc Residential Development
APPLICANT: Nell Weber, John Bessessen
CASE ~ER: 94-77
HKG FILE NUMBER: 92-37j
LOCATION: Property lying immediately east of the termini of Drummond and Windsor Roach
EXISTING ZONING: R-lA
COMPREHENSIVl/PLAN: Residential
COMMENT: On December 12, 1994, the Planning Commission considered the "re-appwval"
of the preliminary and final plats for Teal Pointe. The result of their review was a
recommendation of denial. The minutes from the Planning Commission mcetlng which are
included in this packet summarize the discussion that occurred. As a supplement to the minutos,
it may be helpful to highlight ccrtah aspects of this case.
Teal Pointe is one of the most analyzed development projects ever approved in the City of
Mound. Not only did the project receive close scrutiny during the sketch plan, preliminary plat
and final plat reviews but it also was the subject of Mound's first Envirbnmcntal Assessment
Worksheet (EAW). The project that was reviewed by the Planning Commission and is now
before the City Council is exactly the same project which was approved previously. C, enah
conditions that impact the projea have changed, however, and those are the items that may
warrant further discussion and review. Addressing these issues can be accomplished by
examining the Planning Commission's findings of fact that were included as part of the denial
recommendation.

Teal Pointe Supplementary Planning Report

The Planning Commission identified $ items that were incorporated into its t'mdings of fact
regarding the re-approval of the Teal Pointe development. Items 1 through 3 relate to the same
topic; the development of Lots 1 - 3 that have access off of Drummond Road. When Teal Pointe
was initially reviewed, Mound was in the process of adopting a new shoreland management
ordinance. At the time, the Planning Commission requested that staff apply the ordinance to the
proposed plan, even though it had not been officially adopted in order to assess the impacts. The
results of that effort were documented in a Teal Pointe Planning Report Supplement dated
December 1, I992. In summary, that report found that virtually all of Lots 1, 2, and 3 would be
unbuildable if the shor¢land provisions were applied. The report further noted that the density
of the development was within dcnsity limitations found in the shoreland management ordinance
and that lots within Teal Pointe could be limited to no more than 30% impervious cover,
consistent with the shoreland provisions.
The Dcccmber I, 1992 report was reviewed by the City Council. At that time, staff highlighted
the fact that Teal Pointe was being approved as a Planned Developmcnt Area (I:'DA) which is
established through the approval of a conditional use permit. In considering the conditional use
permit, it was notcd that "thc City of Mound is free to impose any and all restrictions that are
deemed reasonable. This could include the application of the proposed shoreland provisions if
the City Council thought that such conditions are warranted." In approving Teal Pointe, the City.
Council did not restrict the development of Lots 1 - 3.
Since Teal Pointe was initially approved, Mound has adoptcd the shorcland management
ordinance. Therefore, as a pan of re-approving the preliminary and final plats, the City will now
nced to grant Lots 1, 2, and 3 a variance from the applicable provisions in the shoreland
management ordinance if they are to be developed. In granting any variance, a finding of
hardship or practical difficulty needs to be established.
The Planning Commission's findings of fact g4 addressed private roads. Section 330:100 of the
Mound City Code, Subd. 11, states: "Private streets shall not be permitted nor shall public
improvements be approved for any private street unless approved by the City Council as part of
a conditional use permit for an overall development plan." The sect/on of private street abutting
Drummond Road serving Lots I - 3 was init/ally approved in accordance with Subd. 11 as part
of the conditional use permit by the City Council. It can be re-approved by the City Council in
the same manner.
Items 5 and 6 of the Planning Commission's findings of fact generally relate to thc retaining wall
and its impact on Teal Pointe and thc adjacent properties. When the Planning Commission
initially reviewed Teal Pointe, the developer's grading plan did not include retaining wall
construction. In order to avoid the construction of retaining walls, grading was shown on
adjacent properties. When the item was reviewed by the City Council, the developer stated that
it may not be possible to get cooperation from surrounding property owners required for grading
and, therefore, as an alternative, the developer proposed an option involving a retaining wall

which would not require grading on adjacent properties. The final approval granted by the City
Council allowed either construction of the retaining wall or grading including property outside
of Teal Pointe's boundaries. When the Planning Commission reviewed the re-approval of the
Preliminary and Final Plats for Teal Pointe, it was their first exposure to the retaining wall
concept. As a result, they raised a number of valid concerns pertair~ir~g to both access and
aesthetic issues. These issues are essentially the same ones that were raised in a Planning Report
dated April 121, 1994. In that report, staff raised concerns about the aesthetics of the proposed
wall as well as the height and expanse of the structure. Consistent with previous staff concerns
as well as the issues iclcntified by the Planning Commission, the City Council has three
alternatives to consider related to the wall:
During the Planning Commission meeting, one of the concerns expressed by adjacent property
owners was that the wall either complicated or prohibited access to vacant lots thereby
making them undevelopablc. If access is truly a concern, these property owners as well as
the Teal Pointe developer can work cooperatively to establish a grading plan which eliminates
the wall and provides access for future lot development.
The City can consider approval of variances to allow construction of the road in a manner
that results in steeper street grades while significantly reducing the size of the required
retaining wall. Windsor Road is at a 13% gradient wherc the street ends close to the Teal
Pointc property. The City Engineer has determined that if the street extension were to
continue into Teal Pointe at the same gradient, the wall height could be reduced to a
maximum of $ to 6 feet on the south side of the street and the wall could be eliminated
completely on the north side of the street. There are many streets in Mound with gradients
of 13% and greater.
An additional variance which could be considered is reducing the street section of Windsor
Road from 28 feet to 24 feet. This would result in little impact on the function and safety
of the street but would allow an additional 2 feet on either side of the street to construct and
maintain the wall. Street grade and width variances together could result in the ability to
consu'uct the wall using a different and more aesthetically pleasing material such as stone-
faced block rather than the steel sheet piling wall originally proposed by the developer.
3. The City can re-approve the preliminary and final plats with the wall "as is".
Item ~7 in the Planning Commission's findings of fact addresses thc rccluirement of a maximum
limitation of 30% of impervious coverage on the lots within Teal Pointe. Such a restriction can
be added to the development's by-laws and covenants.
The final finding of fact by the Planning Commission relates to the fact that all variances need
to represent minimum situations and can not be specifically monetarily motivated. Findings of
fact per,lining to variances will need to be included in any resolution re-approving the

pre!L_minary and final plats for Teal Point~.
SUMMARY: The Teal Pointe project that is b~ing considered for m-approval of the preliminary
and final plats is the same project that was approved by the Mound City Council on May 10,
1994. The Environmental Assessment Worksheet completed for the project remains valid. The
two items 'that have changed since the initial approval are the adoption of Mound's Shor¢land
Management Ordinance and the fact that the City Engineer has had an opportunity to further
review the extension of Windsor Road.
The Teal Pointe project can not proceed in its present form without the City granting variances
from the Shoreland Management Ordinance pertaining to Lots 1 - 3 which lie withir~ a bluff area.
If the development is to be re-approved, consideration should be given to granting the street
grade and street width variances in order to minimize aesthetic and property access concerns
associated with the construction of the retaining wall. After review by the City Council, it is
suggested that staff be directed to prepare an appropriate resolution incorporating all applicable
findings of fact for subsequent approval by the City Council at the next meetillg.

MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY
GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR SANITARY SEWER EXTENSION PERMITS
GENERAL CONDITIONS:
1) Material, labor and equipment for temporary erosion control measures and
the acceptable maintenance thereof shall be provided during the life of the
project, to effectively prevent water pollution through the use of berms,
dikes, dams, sediment basins, fiber mats, netting, gravel, mulches,
grasses, slope drains, and other erosion control devices or methods.
Surface cover materials shall be anchored to reasonably prevent their
entering waters of the State by erosion or rising water levels.-
2) Temporary pollution control measures shall be included for all construction
activity associated with the project where such work is necessary, for
example borrow pit operations, haul roads, equipment storage, and plant or
waste disposal sites.'
3) The temporary pollution control provisions contained herein shall be
coordinated with any permanent erosion features to the extent practical to
assure economical, effective, and continuous erosion control throughout the
construction and post-construction period.
4) The surface area of erodible earth material exposed by clearing and
grubbing, excavation, borrow and fill operations shall be minimized and
immediate permanent or temporary control measures shall be taken to prevent
contamination of adjacent streams and other water courses, lakes, ponds,
and areas of water impoundment. Cut slopes shall be stabilized by methods
such as seeding and mulching as the excavation proceeds to the extent
considered practicable. Slopes shall be graded properly to minimize
erosion.
5) The Applicant will be required to incorporate all permanent erosion control
features into the project at the earliest practicable time. Provisions
should be made for continual checking and maintenance of all control
measures, particularly during periods of rainfall, to ensure maximum
effectiveness. Temporary pollution control measures will be used to
correct conditions that'develop during construction that were not foreseen
during the design state; that are needed temporarily to control erosion
that develops during normal construction practices, but are not associated
with the permanent control features on the project.
6) The Applicant will control the area of excavation, borrow and embankment
operations commensurate with his progress with finish grading, mulching,
seeding, and other such permanent erosion control measures. Should
seasonal limitations make such coordination unrealistic, temporary erosion
control measures shall be taken to the extent feasible.
7) Oil and other liquid substances capable of polluting water of the State
will be stored in accordance with the requirements of MPCA Miscellaneous
Water Quality Rules Chapter 7100.0010 - 7100.0090 (formerly Minnesota Code
of Agency Rules 6 MCAR 4.8004) (formerly WPC-4).

9)
12)
13)
Stream Bank Stabilization shall be utilized if it is needed to prevent
erosion, and shall be constructed of materials which will not pollute
waters of the State.
If an effluent will result from the project the Contractor shall submit to
the MPCA plans, for approval, to provide for the following:
a) Water from dewatering operations including effluents from construction
activities shall only be discharged when the effluent complies with
the applicable water quality and effluent standards. Dewatering shall
be performed using well points where feasible and practical, all other
dewatering shall be performed so as not to result in increased
tUrbidity in the receiving water.. This may require the use of
desilting ponds to reduce suspended solids. When the MPCA requires,
permits must be obtained.
b) A Disposal System Permit shall be obtained by the Contractor from the
MPCA prior to any hydraulic dredging or tunneling, or other activity
including an effluent which may contain potential pollutants.
This permit shall not release the permittee from any liability or
obligation imposed by Minnesota or Federal statutes or local ordinances and
shall remain in force subject to all conditions and limitations now or
hereafter imposed by law. The permit shall be permissive only and shall
not be construed as stopping or limiting any claims against the permittee
for damage or injury to persons or property, or any waters of the state
resulting from any acts, operations or omissions of the permittee, its
agents, contractors or assigns for damage to state property, or for any
violation of the terms or conditions of this permit.
No assignment of this permit shall be effective until it is executed im
writing and signed by the parties thereto and thereafter approved by the
Agency.
No major alterations or additions to the disposal system shall be made
without the written consent of the Agency.

regulations, standards, orders or statutes more stringent than those now in
existence or prevent the enforcement and application of such regulations,
standards, orders or statutes to the permittee.
16) The Agency, its officers, employees and agents review and comment upon
engineering reports and construction plans and specifications regarding
this permit solely for the limited purpose of determining whether such
report, plans and specifications will enable the facilities subject thereto
to reasonably comply with the regulations and criteria of the Agency.
17} This. permit ha~ nnt been reviewed by the U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency and 'is not issued pursuant to Section 402 of the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972.

INFORMATION RELATIVE TO
REVIEW OF PLANS,AND PERMIT APPLICATIONS
June 1, 1992
The review of plans and specifications for sewage, industrial waste or other
waste disposal systems and application for permits is made in accordance with
the authority conferred by law (see MS, Section 115.07). Approval of plans and
permits is based upon the assumption that the information, provided by the
applicant is correct and that all necessary legal requirements have been or viii
be satisfied.
Plans for sewage, industrial ~aste or other waste disposal systems are examined
with regard to the design features which apply to operation and maintenance of
the treatment works or sever system, the degree of treatment to be provided, the
effectiveness and reliability, of the system or me~hods employed, and compliance
with applicable standards systems. The bulletin entitled Recommended Standards
for Wastewater Facilities, 1990 Edition, and supplements thereto, as well as
other information are used in examination of the design, operation and
maintenance aspects of the proposed system.
Sewer plans are recommended for approval on the basis that the system is to
collect only domestic sewage and such industrial or other waste as may have been
provided for in the design. Foundation or footing drains to collect ground
water and roof drains or other surface water conduits should not be connected to
the sanitary sewer system. Adequate field supervision and inspection by a
qualified representative of the owner should be provided at all times during
construction to assure that the project is constructed in compliance with the
approved plans and specifications.
The Agency assumes no responsibility for the integrity of structures or physical
featuras, or for the reliability, durability or efficiency of specific items of
propriety equipment or material. Ail applicable federal, state and local laws,
regulations or ordinances must be followed in the design, location and
construction of proposed sewer systems or treatment works.
The Agency reserves the right to withdraw its approval of plans if construction
is not undertaken within a reasonable period after issuance of the permit.

Dear Mr. Bessesen:
I have notified the City Finance Director, Gino Businaro, that your original Teal Pointe
escrow account should be balanced and closed out and that a new account must be
established for your new preliminary and final plat application. The City Code requires
a one thousand dollar ($1,000) escrow be submitted with your application. This
escrow is needed in order to process your request through the next City Council
meeting. I have directed staff to discontinue any further work until the escrow deposit
is received. Please submit the required escrow deposit as soon as possible so work
may continue on your proposal.

MINUTES OF A MEETING OF Title
MOUND ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION
DECEMBER 12, 1994
Those present were: Chair Geoff Michael, Commissioners Michael Mueller, Frank Weiland,
Jerry Clapsaddle, and Mark Hanus; City Council Representative, Liz Jensen; Planning
Consultants, Mark Koegler and Bruce Chamberlain; Engineer Consultant, John Cameron;
Building Official, Jori Sutherland; and Secretary, Peggy James. Absent and excused were
Commissioners Bill Voss, Lisa Crum, and Ed Surko.
The following people were also in attendance: Jim Brunzell, John Edewaard, Brad Biermann,
Todd Rask, Nancy Clough, Alice Rogers, Reuben Hartman, Glenn Melena, and John Bessesen.
MINUTES
The Planning Commission Minutes of November 14, 1994 were presented for approval.
Hanus requested a change to the last paragraph on page 2, as follows:
"Elevation requirements were discussed. Hanus noted that lock boxes are not required to
meet the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation of 933. Hanus /$ ~,~ fc;'or cf rcqu']r]ng
$crcc,~[~,g supports screeninq to mitiqate the setback."
MOTION made by Mueller, seconded by Hanus, to approve the Planning
Commission Minutes of November 14, 1994 as amended. Motion carried
unanimously.
CASE #94-77: "TEAL POINTE" PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AREA (PDA), RE-APPROVAL
OF PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLATS. BLOCKS 10, 11, 15 & 16, WHIPPLE. PUBLIC
HEARING.
Planning Consultant, Bruce Chamberlain, reviewed his memorandum. On May 10, 1994 the
City Council approved, with conditions, the final plat for Teal Pointe. The plat was not filed
by the sunset date. On November 22, 1994, the City Council reviewed a request to release
the plat for filing. The City Council determined that the preliminary and final plats must be re-
approved by both the Planning Commission and City Council.
There are no changes to the proposal that was previously granted final plat approval. Many
development issues have been resolved, including: EAW review, Indian Affairs Council review,
refined Plans and Homeowner's Documents were approved by the City Council, Legal aspects
including a title search, and necessary street vacations.
An aspect of project approval which has changed is the adoption of the Shoreland
Management Ordinance (SMO). Development on Lots I 3 is being proposed within a
designated bluff zone on slopes exceeding 30 percent. When the project was first submitted
the SMO was drafted, but had not been adopted. The City Council could have applied these
regulations at that time, however, chose not to. The project will require a variance from the
provisions of Section 350:1225, Subd. 3 of the Mound City Code which addresses bluff
setback.
Planning Commission Minutes December 12, 1994
As proposed, the development plans for Teal Pointe will require the following approvals from
the City Council.
Approval of a conditional use permit to establish Teal Pointe as a Planned Development
Area (PDA). The conditional use permit should also address the issue of establishing
Outlot A as a private street. Section 330:95, Subd. 1 states, "Private streets shall not
be permitted, nor shall public improvements be approved for any new private street
unless approved by the City Council as part of a conditional use permit for an overall
development plan."
Approval of the preliminary plat for Teal Pointe. This approval should include the
following variances:
Street frontage variances for Lots 1 - 3. They will front on a private street
rather than on an improved public street.
Cul-de-sac length for Windsor Road. The Subdivision Ordinance limits cul-de-
sacs to 500 feet in length. As proposed, Windsor Road will have a total length
of approximately 720 feet.
A variance for the right-of-way (ROW) width for Windsor Road including the cul-
de-sac bubble. The plan calls for a ROW width of 40 feet instead of the
required 50 feet and a cul-de-sac bubble radius of 40 feet in lieu of the required
50 feet.
A variance on the paved area of the cul-de-sac bubble. The plan calls for a
paved area with a 35 foot radius compared to the normal 40 foot standard
paved radius.
A variance from the bluff area setback requirements of the SMO. The plans call
for home construction on lots 1 - 3 within a designated bluff zone as defined
by the ordinance. To minimize the impact on vegetation and slopes on these
lots, the developer is proposing and will be required to construct caisson and
cantilevered style structures.
Approval of the final plat for Teal Pointe. The developer is requesting simultaneous
approval of both the preliminary and final plats which is allowed in the Mound City
Code. Assuming the project is approved as presented and based on information the
developer has already provided, conditions A. through P. are suggested for final plat
approval for Teal Pointe in addition to the issues raised in the City Engineer's report
dated December 7, 1994.
Conditions A. through P. are the same as previously approved, with the exception of
two changes:
1)
Condition "C." was modified, the number of days in which
construction must be completed was changed from 180 days to
280 days, and the amount of the escrow guarantee was
increased from $127,500to $155,000, and
2
Planning Commission Minutes December 12, 1994
2)
Condition "F" was added, and reads as follows: "The plat shall
be filed with Hennepin County within sixty (60) days of the City
Council approving the final plat. If the plat is not filed within that
time period, it shall become null and void."
Chamberlain recognized the Memo prepared by John Cameron, City Engineer.
Planning Commission Discussion.
Mueller questioned where the buildings are proposed to be located on lots 1, 2, and 3; will
they be in the bluff zone, or within the required setback from the top of the bluff. Koegler
commented that it is safe to say that a portion of each structure will be within the bluff impact
zone. A bluff impact zone is the bluff area itself and 20 feet from the top of the bluff. Mueller
noted that the Shoreland Management Ordinance does not allow construction of houses in a
bluff impact zone. Koegler confirmed that the variance request is not for setback to the bluff,
but is a variance request to allow construction within the bluff impact zone. However, Koegler
clarified that the request is also a PDA which is under a Conditional Use Permit which gives
the City of Mound more authority than it has under traditional zoning, and therefore, it could
apply any rules or reasons that are found to be applicable to the particular property, and the
Council previously chose not to apply the bluff standards which were in the process of being
adopted at that time.
Mueller referred to packet page I 1, item L. which states a proposed condition of the final plat,
as follows: "Impervious cover on individual residential lots shall be limited to no more than
30% of the lot area." Mueller questioned if the covenants restrict construction of hardcover
on the lots. Chamberlain replied no.
Mueller questioned if there is a different applicant or owner from the original application when
the plat was approved. Staff confirmed that they are the same.
Geoff Michael noted that within John Cameron's letter he stated, "we have received only the
manufacturer's standard pre-printed package" for the lift station, and questioned if the City
has received any updated material. John Cameron indicated they have not.
Geoff Michael questioned John Cameron if he is still concerned about the details relating to
the installation of the proposed retaining wall. John Cameron indicated yes, and explained the
history of the retaining wall issue. He explained that he did not realize the number of large
trees that could be damaged by the installation of this retaining wall. He is also concerned
about maintenance, since the wall is proposed to be less than 12 inches from the adjacent
private property.
The retaining wall was discussed at length. It was noted that the reason the retaining wall
is now part of the plan is because easements were not granted by the adjacent private
property owners to allow for grading, and a retaining wall is the developer's other proposed
option that was originally approved by the Council. Cameron explained what the proposed
wall will look like, it is to be constructed of corrugated steel, and at the highest point, will
project about 10 feet from grade on the south side, and about 5 feet on the north side.
Staff confirmed that a copy of the application was sent to the DNR.
3
Planning Commission Minutes December 12, 1994
Mueller questioned if the City has approved the development of other private roads in the last
two years. Koegler replied that he does not recall approving any private roads in the last ten
years. It was noted that the proposed private road accessing lots 1, 2, and 3, exceeds the
8 percent grade requirements and is narrower than the required width for public roads. Staff
noted that the private road is not required to meet the City's requirements for public roads.
Mueller also noted that variances are requested for lots 1,2, and 3 because they do not abut
a public right-of-way, and other requests have not been approved for this reason.
Mueller reported that the Planning Commission has not had the opportunity to review the
homeowner's documents.
Drainage was discussed.
Chair Michael opened the public hearin,q.
Alice Rogers, owner of the property at the south side of the 10 foot retaining wall, questioned
how she will be able to build a house on her vacant lots. John Cameron noted that she would
have to bring fill in to provide for access. Alice Rogers stated she is not in favor of the
retaining wall.
John Edewaard distributed to the Planning Commission copies of "An Analys/s of the Teal
Po/nte Development Proposal" He explained that the information in the Analysis is based on
information either submitted to the City during the EAW process, or is direct citations from the
Mound Ordinance. Relating to the proposed retaining wall, Edewaard referred to page 9 of the
analysis, Subd. 1 2. which states,
"Hardship to Owners of Adjoining Property. The street arrangements shall not
be such as to cause hardship to owners of adjoining property in platting their
own land and providing convenient access to it."
Edewaard stated that the retaining wall will block access to the existing adjoining sites. In
addition, if fill is needed to create access to these properties after the retaining wall is
installed, and if the adjacent property is determined to be in a bluff zone, is fill allowed? He
referred to the SMO which limits filling in a bluff zone. Koegler could not confirm Edewaard's
claim without doing further research.
Edewaard referred to page 2 of the analysis, and indicated that some of this information came
from the Owner's Certificate of Title on file at Hennepin County. Edewarrd explained that Mr.
Weber is not listed as an owner of the Teal Pointe Development Co. Inc., and according to the
Secretary of States Office, The Weber Group Inc., who purchased the property from the City
and sold the land to the Teal Pointe Development Co. Inc., is dissolved according to statute
because they failed to send in their yearly registration. Also, the charter for the Teal Pointe
Development Co. will expire with the State at the end of 1994. Today, they are not a legally
chartered corporation, unless they make the necessary filings with the Secretary of States
office. Edewaard clarified that that Neil Weber is not an owner of the company, and he knows
this for a fact.
4
Planning Commission Minutes December 12, 1994
Edewaard referred to page 6 of his analysis which lists comments on the EAW from the Met
Council, the DNR, and the MPCA. He explained that the comments, in their entirety, were not
reflected within the EAW, and he that these comments were truncated in the EAW by the City
Planner. He reviewed the statements and summarized that the DNR and the Met Council do
not feel that Lots 1, 2, and 3 should be developed.
Edewaard suggested that this project be sent back to the drawing board, because, in his
opinion, this development is not the highest and best use for the property, especially the bluff
zone.
Jim Brunzell, owner of 5111 Windsor Road which is located just north of the proposed
retaining wall, stated that when he was asked by the developer to sign an agreement to allow
fill on his property, he was not given any specifics, and therefore did not give permission. He
was then told a retaining wall would be installed. He does not feel the developers made an
effort to work with him on this issue. He is concerned about maintenance to the wall and how
his property could be affected.
Brad Biermann, owner of 5106Windsor Road. He is concerned about the retaining wall. He
is concerned about drainage and possible ponding on his property. He is not excited about
looking at the retaining wall, and he feels it would reduce his property value. He suggested
that access, such as a stairway, be provided to the wetlands. He is opposed to fill being
placed on his property because he is concerned about the trees.
Todd Rask, owner of 5109 Drummond, is concerned about the development of lots 1,2, and
3 and how this will affect the adjacent properties. He also requested that the Park Dedication
fees be re-assessed. He is also concerned about how this retaining wall will affect access to
the wetlands.
Chair Michael closed the public hearing.
Clapsaddle questioned the status of the project. Staff clarified that due to the expiration, this
application is being considered as a "new project." However, the request has not changed
and did receive previous approval by the City Council. Jensen commented that there is
conflicting information in our ordinance as to when did, or does, something expire, and to her
knowledge the City did not send a letter to the developers warning them of the expiration
date. But when the developer brings the plat in for signing at an obviously late date, which
has already been questioned, it seemed prudent for the Council to take the most conservative
approach, and therefore, this is being considered a new project.
Clapsaddle commented that this development is very poorly planned and it is inexcusable how
it affects the surrounding properties. The project needs to be re-thought. Clapsaddle
suggested a decorative bridge could be an alternative to the retaining walls.
Hanus clarified that if the driveways for the adjacent vacant properties are installed on the
westerly end, the amount of fill needed in order to gain access to the properties would only
be about 2 feet. Mueller noted that filling on the vacant lot to the south would increase the
slope, and therefore, would affect the bluff.
5
Planning Commission Minutes December 12, 1994
Mueller reiterated some of the issues:
The EAW was reviewed by the Planning Commission in a different perspective because
the SMO had not been adopted:
2. Lots 1, 2, and 3, should be considered unbuildable:
The DNR does not recommend building on lots 1,2, & 3.
The Met Council states that lots 1,2, & 3 should be considered unbuildable.
The SMO says that these lots should not be buildable.
3. Our ordinance states there should be no private roads.
There is no precedence for private roads.
4 The MPCA has standards for construction practices.
Lots 1,2, and 3 have erodible soils, concerned about building on steep slopes
and next to a sensitive wetland area.
o
He does not remember the Planning Commission discussing the retaining walls with the
original application. He is concerned about the size of the wall and the impact of the
wall to the adjacent property owners.
o
Concern about retaining walls abutting private properties without any easements to
maintain the walls.
7. what are the hardships for granting the width and slope variance for the road?
Increasing hardships to the adjacent property owners with retaining wall because they
will have to look at it, and how do you get something to grow on the north side of a
five foot wall? Nothing can grow to cover it.
What are the hardships. Are they specifically designed? Are we minimizing the impact
of the hardships?
Geoff Michael asked if the owner or applicant was present. John Bessesen introduced himself
as applicant for the project.
Mueller moved, and Clapsaddle seconded a motion to re-open the public hearing
so they may hear from the applicant. Motion failed.
It was determined that the Chair and Commission could address the applicant without re-
opening the public hearing.
John Bessesen informed the Commission that the project is owned by Teal Pointe
Development Corporation which is Fred Bame and Nell Weber as Vice President. Maybe they
have been remiss on filing their corporate taxes, but he will make sure this is done by 1995.
He is not an owner of the property, he is an applicant, and he is on the Board of Directors.

Planning Commission Minutes December 12, 1994
He was asked to oversee the project. He feels they were mislead by what the City had told
them and by what actually came to pass with regards to the filing of the plat. He thinks this
issue should possibly be addressed at some other level, and that he has reviewed this matter
with legal council, and that the Planning Commission need not make a decision tonight.
MOTION made by Clapsaddle, seconded by Mueller, to recommend denial of the
preliminary and final plat for the "Teal Pointe" Planned Development Area, with
Findings of Fact.
Jensen stated that she is uncomfortable with the motion. The preponderance of the facts
have not changed, but a couple of key things did, such as the existence now of the SM0
which was not in place when the original application was received, versus the issue that gets
raised when we have an applicant that appears to have been lead to believe that this
application could be extended. She has major concerns with the retaining wall and how it
affects other people.
The findings of fact were clarified, as follows:
The DNR agrees that lots 1, 2, and 3, are essentially unsuited to residential
development.
o
The Metropolitan Council recommends that lots 1, 2, and 3 be considered
unbuiidable.
e
Mound's Shoreland Management Ordinance (SMO} states that no construction
shall occur in a Bluff Impact Zone.
Mound's Ordinance does not allow for private roads, and there is no recent
precedent to approve a private road within the City of Mound.
The Planning Commission did not review placement of steel corrugated retaining
walls with the original request. These retaining walls will negatively impact the
abutting property owner's rights.
6. The City Engineer has expressed the following concerns:
Lack of easements to allow for maintenance of retaining walls (wall to
be approximately 12 inches from private property).
If a road width variance is requested due to the lack of maintenance
easements for the retaining walls, there is concern for reduced roadway
widths, especially for a narrow, elevated path with guardrails.
c. Private street concerns for Outlot A.

The possible negative impact of the retaining walls on the surrounding
trees located on private property.

Planning Commission Minutes December 12, 1994

According to the City Planner, there is a lack of documentation in the by-laws
and Covenants and Restrictions that would require a maximum 30 percent
impervious surface coverage on their property.
The variances being requested are not the minimum to alleviate the hardship.
Also, the hardships creating the variances should not be specifically monetarily
motivated.
Mueller commented that he would like to see the Park Dedication fee adjusted, he believes the
ordinance specifically states that the fee should be 10 percent of the fair market value.
Weiland commented that he is not in favor of developing lots 1,2, and 3, but he does not see
a problem with the balance of the development.
MOTION to deny carried 5 to 1. Those in favor of denial were: Clapsaddle,
Mueller, Michael, Jensen, and Hanus. Weiland was opposed.
This request will be heard by the City Council at a public hearing on January 10, 1994.
CITY COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE'S REPORT
Liz Jensen reviewed the City Council meeting of November 22, 1994. Mueller questioned
Jensen if the resolution approving the Town Square (Commerce Place) parking plan should be
reviewed. Jensen stated that she questioned how much of the business people are paying
for the CDB parking program, and how much the general tax payer pays. Jensen will raise this
issue with the Council.
MOTION made by Mueller, seconded by Clapsaddle, to adjourn the meeting at

An Analysis of the
Teal Pointe Development Proposal
l~y
John Edewaard
Abstract: (1) The proposed Teal Pointe Development is based upon promises made to
the original buyer that cannot be passed onto subsequent developers and (2) the pro-
posed development was not properly reviewed to determine the impact of existing
ordinances by the reviewing authority.
I am a resident of Mound, MN and strongly oppose the Proposed Teal Pointe
Development. My purpose is to create recognition of the reasons to disapprove this
proposal.
The facts of the Proposed Teal Pointe Development are outlined below.
1. The City of Mound sold, by Quit Claim Deed, the subject property to The Weber
Group Inc. on April 14, 1987.
2. Mr. Weber claims that, in 1987, he received acceptance for his concept plan.
3. No development contract or binding agreement was signed by the City of Mound
and The Weber Group concerning the concept plan.
4. The Weber Group Inc., on April 17, 1991, sold the subject property to The Teal
Point Development Co. Inc. for approximately $90,000 (on 8/14/93 lots 1, 2, 18,
and 19 block 23 were incorporated into this parcel).
5. Any promises made to the Weber Group Inc. remained with the Weber Group
and did not pass On to the new purchaser or remain with the land.
6. Since the original sale in 1987, many of the ordinances that would have
permitted certain uses of the plat are now more stringent and preclude the area
from development.
7. Changing ownership without the necessary agreements between the City and
the new owners terminates the original plan of The Weber Group.
8. The City of Mound should exercise caution before accepting a development
contract from Teal Pointe Development Co. According to records within the
Secretary of States Office, the Teal Pointe Development Co. is inactive and
will be dissolved by stature at the end of the year and The Weber Group
Inc. is dissolved. Any contract entered into with these two companies might be
highly suspect.
The fact that (1) the original concept terminated with the sale of the land to Teal
Pointe Development Co. and that (2) the Teal Pointe Development Co. is inactive
and will be dissolve by statute at the end of the year, and The Weber Group Inc., is
dissolved should dictate to the City to err on the side of caution. Actions taken by
the City Council to this date appears to confer special privilege to the
developer.
The developers concept plan and subsequent promise by the city to develop
do not apply to Mr. Bessesson and Mr. Bame. Is Mr. Weber a part of their
corporation, an agent or does he have a role?.
Since this is a new application, some of the facts gathered regarding this Planned
Unit Development are subject to review.
Several issues were raised at the initial planning commission meeting.
1. How will the pending Shoreland ordinances apply to this project?
2. How will the pending Shoreland ordinances affect a decision at this hearing?
At the last hearing, the planming commission felt they had 30 days to decide upon
the application (pursuant to ordinance 330:35 subd. 8). The advice they received
was inaccurate.
The planning commission should have received council that while the public
hearing is open (the preliminary plat could have been tabled and the hearing could
have been held open until all facts were reviewed), there is no time limit upon the
commission. Any deadline placed upon the planning commission is imposed by the
commission itself, by the action of closing the public hearing which gives it 30 days
to rule. The preliminary plat is approved ff no action is taken within 30 days by the
Planning Commission.
Closing the hearing imposed an illusory sense of urgency, causing the planning
commission to pass the responsibility of approval onto the city council with the
requirement that the City Council verify the following.
· Lots 1, 2 and 3 are not within a Bluff Impact Zone and that dwellings can be
built upon these Lots
· The preliminary plat complies of the Shoreland Management Ordnance
The City Council then had the responsibility of reviewing this plan with
consideration of the Proposed Shoreland Ordinances. The Planning Commission
had approved other projects with the understanding that they comply with the
Shoreland Ordinance. The City Council never reviewed the plan with
consideration of the Shoreland ordinances.
Instead, the action by the planning commission was interpreted by the City Council
as having determined that any impact was negligible. Final approval was
consequently offered Teal Pointe.
If an applicant for a variance purchases property with actual or constructive notice
of zoning ordinance's restrictions, then its hardship is self-created and does not
constitute "undue hardship" within subd. 6 of this section. Castle Design &
Development Co., Inc. v. City of Lake Elmo, April 1986, 396 N.W.2d 578.
Mound City Ordinance states that hardship as used in connection with the granting
of a variance means the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if
used under the conditions allowed by the official controls; the plight of the
landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by any
landowner; and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the
locality. Economic considerations alone shall not constitute a hardship if a
reasonable use for the property exists under the ordinance.
MSA 462 provides that a variance allows property to be used in manner forbidden
by zoning ordinance while a special-use permit allows a use expressly authorized by
the ordinance; thus, a heavy burden is imposed on applicant for a variance to
show that its grant is appropriate, while where a special permit is sought,
burden is on person opposed to the grant to establish facts compelling its denial.
Luger v. City of Burnsville, 1980, 295 N.W.2d 609.
The above defines a hardship and explains that the developer must show compelling
reasons for the Council to issue a variance.
Where undue hardships on which landowner based his application for subdivision of
lot and variances to permit building two residences on subdivided lot were
primarily concerned with cost of owning and maintaining a large lot, city council
could have rationally concluded, that this kind of hardship was insufficient to
justify granting subdivision and requested variances. VanLandschoot v. City of
Mendota Heights, 1983, 336 N.W.2d 503.
In the Teal Piointe Subdivision, no hardship exists. The Developer, Mr.
Bessesen and Mr. Bame were aware of the zoning restrictions at the time of
purchase of the property. Therefore, only an economic hardship exists and
approval of this is specifically forbidden by statute.
Regarding the planning report prepared by Hoisington I~ioegler Group Inc. the
back,round statement is not an entire representation of the truth.
Mr. Bessesen claims that he was negotiating with the adjoiming property owners
regarding placement of f~ll on their property. Mr. Bessessen through Abdo & Abdo
Associates sent coorespondence to adjoining property owners twice.
1. Initially a letter outlining Mr. Bessesen intentions to develop Windsor road and
Teal Pointe.
2. Subsequently another letter asl~ing adjoining property owners to grant him and
his company an easement to grade and ~l! on their property.
Basic elements to a negotiation in good faith are absent and in place are demands
with no offer of consideration. No timing was specified and there were no
contractual promises offering performance.
Adjoining property owners were looking for an offer with consideration.
Since Mr. Bessesen made no offer, there were no negotiations ongoing.
Statewide Standard for Management of Shoreland Areas published by the
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water states the
following.
Local government officials must evaluate possible soil erosion impacts and
development visibility from public waters before issuing a permit for construction of
sewage treatment systems, roads, driveways, structures, or other improvements on
steep slopes.
When determined necessary, conditions must be attached to issued permits to prevent
erosion and preserve existing vegetation screening of structures, vehicles, and other
facilities as viewed from the surface of public waters, assuming summer, leaf on
vegetation.
Structures and accessory facilities except stairways and landings must not be placed
within Bluff Impact Zones.
Is the City Council going to comply with the above guidelines?
Through the Environmental Assessment Worksheet process several mitigating
factors surfaced that apply to this development. The Metropolitan Council, the
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, and the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency all raise serious concern over the suitability of soil within the development
site.
The Hennepin County Soil Survey classifies this soil in the Erin loam series. They
indicate that the soils on the site in areas with greater than 12 percent slopes
have severe limitations for residential development because of the high cost of
building sites, installing utilities, and grading streets.
The Hennepin County Soil Survey recommends against any construction in
Erin loam soils on slopes exceeding 18 percent, due to their propensity for
rapid erosion once disturbed. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
agrees with the contention that Lots 1, 2, and 3 are essentially unsuited to
residential development.
The DNR questions whether any development should occur on any part of
the proposed development area due to the steep slopes, and the proximity of
homes within the Bluff lmpact Zone.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources recommends that all run off
leaving the site should be treated with retention ponds prior to discharge into the
neighboring wetlands. Proper treatment of storm water will help maintain the
existing water quality of nearby basins. This recommendation is in conflict
with the water management plan.
Because of the steep slopes it is difficult ff impossible to retain runoff in the Bluff
area. The resulting run off from all of Lots I through 4, from the rear yards of lots 5
through 9 and from the private road access to lots 1, 2 will flow overland to the
adjacent wetland. Although this meets the criteria of the Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District's Rule B, it will have a detrimental impact on 40 to 50%
of the project area.
While homes on lots I through 3 are proposed to be built on stilts to mlu~mize
grading, disturbance and increased levels of erosion will be unavoidable during both
the construction phase and post-construction period. Erosion due to the adverse
impact upon upland vegetation as a result of die-off of vegetation below the homes
on lots I through 3 and from increases in uncontrolled storm water run off from
constructed impervious surfaces will degrade the water quality of storm water
runoff into the wetland if development occurs. The Metropolitan Council
recommends that lots 1 through 3 be considered un-buildable, in concert with
the recommendations of the city's current Shoreland Management Ordinance
section 350.
The statements above are alone reason to disapprove this project.
The Zoning Variance requested by Maxine Beissel (described below) was
denied by the City Council and the Planning Commission because the
request was not in compliance witl~ Zoning Codes. Tl~is is the same problem
with the Teal Pointe Subdivision Application even though the facts are
different, both are not in compliance.
In the minor subdivision application for Maxine Beissel, the planning commission
moved a resolution denying her a minor subdivision of property at 1720 Dove Lane.
Maxine Beissel owns three lots which front on Dove Lane. Dove Lane is the only
public street serving the properties. Those lots have been combined since Lots 7 and
8 do not abut a public street and require lot 9 to provide frontage on a public street.
In the resolution for denial for Maxine Beissel, the following statements present a
arguement against the Teal Pointe development:
1. "The City Planner, Planning Commission, and City Council are concerned that
this unusual configuration does provide two lake lots but the division design
probably would require future variances to make the property construction
:,vorthy, and the existing house on the property would be non-conforming if this
division were to be allowed. The proposed division would perpetuate and create a
zoning situation which is in conflict with the intent of Minnesota Statutes,
Chapter 462; Section 330 of the City Code; and the Comprehensive Plan."
2. "The proposed artificial configuration creates an undesirable "shoe horn" effect
to try and get two parcels with frontage on public commons and creates a
"stacking" of houses which is undesirable, over-utilizes the property, and creates
a situation where there are no back yards. The City of Mound has enacted
subdivision and zoning ordinances which prohibit the division of lands which
conflict with the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance."
3. "The division of the property which has 20 feet of street frontage for one parcel
does not comply with the intent of the zoning and subdivision codes of the City of
Mound."
4. "The division of the parcel into what is called a 'bottle neck lot" would establish a
precedent and other property owners could request to develop their rear yards
using the same logic, and this division would create two parcels with no back
yards."
5. "If this particular parcel which has a deep back yard is developed in this manner
there is no logical reason why other parcels throughout the City which are
narrow but long would not be divided and this would result in heker-skelter
planning and properties being constructed in the back yards of other properties
and would restrict the use of adjacent properties and would create parcels with
minimum public street frontage and a stacking of parcels along public or private
commons."
6. "There are no unique circumstances or conditions affecting this property such
that the strict application of the provisions of the zoning and subdivision
ordinances deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his land."
7. "Denial of the proposed subdivision does not preclude the property from being
divided into two lots The applicant has available, other ways to subdivide the
subject property that will result in the creation of two lots that are consistent
with the spirit and intent of the Mound Zoning Code and Mound Subdivision
Ordinance."
8. "The proposed subdivision and variance to the zoning ordinance regulations to
accommodate the existing house even on a short basis are not necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant."
9. "The City Council has by adoption of subdivision and zoning ordinances laid out
a procedure for the development of the City in such a manner that it will be done
eff~ciently and will result in a minimal expenditure of public moneys to work
around unusual developments It would be a bad precedent for the City and its
management of properties under the zoning and subdivision ordinance to allow
this division.
The following Mound City Ordinance provides zoning standards that
subdivisions must comply with for Planning Commission approval. The
Teal Pointe Subdivision does not comply with this Ordinance.
Section 350:415 states that a lot of record in a residential district may be used for
single family detached dwellir~g purposes provided the area thereof meets all setback
and minimum lot area requirements of this ordinance, provided:
Subd. 1. It has frontage on an improved public right-of-way.
Subd. 2. It was under separate ownership ~om abutting lands upon or prior to the
effective date of this ordinance.
Subd. 61 - Hardship as used in connection with the granting of a variance means
the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under the
conditions allowed by the official controls; the plight of the landowner is due to
circumstances unique to the property not created by any landowner; and the
variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Economic
considerations alone shall not constitute a hardship if a reasonable use for the
property exists under the ordinance.
Section 330:90. Design Standards, General Requirements.
Subd. 1. The Planning Commission and the City Council in their review of' the
preliminary plat will take into consideration the requirements of' the community
and the best use of the land being subdivided.
Subd. 2. The subdivision shall conform to the adopted Zoning Ordinance and shall
be in substantial conformance to the goals and policies Set forth in the
Comprehensive Plan.
Subd. 11. Private Streets. Private streets shall not be permitted nor shall public
improvements be approved for any private street unless approved by the City
Council as part of a conditional use permit for an overall development plan.
Subd. 12. Hardship to Owners of Adjoining Property. The street arrangements shall
not be such as to cause hardship to owners of adjoining property in platting their
own land and providing convenient access to it.
Subd. 76 - Substandard lot is a lot of record which does not meet the minimum lot
area, structure, setbacks or other dimensional standards of this ordinance.
The City Council must review the Teal Point Subdivision with
consideration for the Park Land Dedication Fee as stated in the Ordinance
below.
Section 330:120. Design Standards, Public Sites and Open Spaces and Park Land
Dedication
Subd. 1. Public Sites and Open Spaces. Where a proposed park, playground, or other
pubhc site shown on the adopted Comprehensive Plan or official map is embraced,
in part or in whole, by a boundary of a proposed subdivision and such public sites
are not dedicated to the City, such public ground shall be shown as reserved land on
the preliminary plat to allow the City the opportunity to consider and take action
toward acquisition of such public ground or park by purchase or other means prior
to approval of the final plat.
Subd. 2. Park Land Dedication. In every plat, replat, or subdivision of land allowing
development for residential, commercial, industrial, or other uses or combination
thereof, or in a planned development area, or where a waiver or variance is granted,
a reasonable portion of such land and/or cash shall be set aside and dedicated by the
tract owner or owners to the general public as open space for park and playground
purposes or public ponds except where adjustments to lot lines do not create
additional lots. Ten (10) percent of the property may be used for residential,
multiple-family residential, commercial business or industrial purposes shall be
deemed a reasonable portion. Said land shall be suitable for public use as parks and
playgrounds or for one of the aforementioned described purposes, and the City shall
not be required to accept land which will not be usable for parks and playgrounds or
which would require extensive expenditures on the part of the public to make them
usable.
Subd. 3. At the City's option, except for minor subdivisions as herein defined, the
subdivider shall contribute an equivalent amount of cash, in lieu of all or a portion
of the land which the City .may require such owner to dedicate pursuant to Subd. 2
hereof, in accordance with the schedule to be set by resolution of the Council which
cash contribution shall be a minimum of ten percent (10%) of the total fair market
value of the land being divided. In no case shall the dedication in cash be less than
$500 for each lot being created.
A minor subdivision is a case where three residential lots or less are to be
subdivided or created by a division and in those minor subdivisions the park land
dedication shall be pursuant to a schedule to be set by resolution of the Council. In
no case shall the cash dedication fee for minor subdivisions be less than five
hundred dollars ($500) per lot being created.
Subd. 4. Where the owner provides for public use, neighborhood park amenities
such as, but not limited to, tennis courts, ball fields, open space or other
recreational

MEMORANDUM
December 7, 1994
To: Mound Planning Commission
From: Brace Chamberlain, Planning Consultant
Re: Re-approval of Teal Pointe Residential Development preliminary and final plats.
BACKGROUND: The final plat for Teal Pointe was approved with conditions by the City
Council on May 10, 1994. Mound City Code Section 330:35, Subd. 9 allows the subdivider
60 days from the date of plat approval to file the final plat with the County. Because the
developer was negotiating with adjacent property owners regarding an aspect of construction,
the plat was not filed prior to the sunset date. Recently though the developer has requested
the City to release the plat for filing. Upon hearing the request at their November 22nd
meeting, the City Council determined that the preliminary and final plats must be re-approved
by both the Planning Commission and City Council.
The project being proposed poses no change from that which was granted final plat approval
with conditions earlier this year. Through the previous series of project approvals, many
development issues have been resolved.
Teal Pointe has undergone extensive environmental review through an Environmental
Assessment Worksheet resulting in added project requirements including a
conservation easement around the perimeter of the wetland, modifications to the
Homeowner's Documents and special construction requirements.
· The Indian Affairs Council has reviewed the project and given their approval.
· Plans and Homeowner's Documents have been refined and ultimately approved by
the City Council exactly as they are presented for this re-application.
· Legal aspects of the project have been resolved including a title search.
· Necessary street vacations have been completed.
REQUIRED APPROVALS: An aspect of project approval which has changed is the
adoption of the Shoreland Management Ordinance. Development on lots 1-3 is being
proposed within a designated bluff zone on slopes exceeding 30%. When the project was

first submitted, the Mound Shoreland Management Ordinance was drafted but had not been
adopted. The Planning Commission could have recommended and the City Council could
have imposed the restrictions of the ordinance on lots 1-3 but chose not to. Now that the
ordinance is adopted by the City, the project will require a variance from the provisions of
Section 350:1225, Subdivision 3 of the Mound City Code which addresses bluff setback.
As proposed, the development plans for Teal Pointe will require the following approvals from
the City Council.
Approval of a conditional use permit to establish Teal Pointe as a Planned
Development Area. The conditional use permit should also address the issue of
establishing Outlot A as a private street. Section 330:95 Subd. 1 states,
"Private streets shall not be permitted nor shall public improvements be
approved for any new private street unless approved by the City Council as
part of a conditional use permit for an overall development plan."
Approval of the preliminary plat for Teal Pointe. This approval should include
the following variances:
Ao
Street frontage variances for Lots 1-3. They will front on a private
street rather than on an improved public street.
Bo
Cul-de-sac length for Windsor Road. The Subdivision Ordinance limits
cul-de-sacs to 500 feet in length. As proposed, Windsor Road will have
a total length of approximately 720 feet.
Co
A variance for the right-of-way width for Windsor Road including the
cul-de-sac bubble. The plan calls for a ROW width of 40 feet instead
of the required 50 feet and a cul-de-sac bubble radius of 40 feet in lieu
of the required 50 feet.
Do
A variance on the paved area of the cul-de-sac bubble. The plan calls
for a paved area with a 35 foot radius compared to the normal 40 foot
standard paved radius.
A variance from the bluff area setback requirements of the Shoreland
Management Ordinance. The plans call for home construction on lots
1-3 within a designated bluff zone as defined by the ordinance. To
minimize the impact on vegetation and slopes on these lots, the
developer is proposing and will be required to construct caisson and
cantilevered style structures.
Memo - Mound Planning Commission
December 7, 1994
Page 3
Approval of the final plat for Teal Pointe. The developer is requesting the
simultaneous approval of both the preliminary and final plats which is allowed
in the Mound City Code. Assuming the project is approved as presented and
based on information the developer has already provided, the following
conditions are suggested for final plat approval for Teal Pointe in addition to
the issues raised by the City Engineer's report dated December 7, 1994.
The Developer shall secure and provide the City with a copy of a
stormwater permit from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District prior
to the City releasing the final plat.
Bo
The Developer shall secure and provide copies to the City's Building
Official, all required reviews and permits from the Minnesota
Department of Health and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency prior
to beginning construction. The Building Official will not authorize
construction until permits are secured.
Prior to the City releasing the final plat, the Developer shall sign a
development contract furnished by the City. The development contract
shall stipulate that construction of all items covered by said contract

SUBJECT:
Final Plat - Teal Pointe
Case #94-06
MFRA #7469
Dear Jon
Enclosed is our revised Engineer's Memo for the final plat of Teal
Pointe. It contains some minor and one significant revision from our
previous report dated March 25, 1994. The amount of the escrow
guarantee has been raised from $127,500.00 to S155,000.00. This
increase is solely in the estimated cost of the lift station. As stated
in Special Condition Number 27, the proposed lift station must meet the
city's standards. At the present time, we have received only the
manufacturers standard pre-printed package which does not begin to meet
the city's requirements. There are numerous changes that will be
required, the most significant being the control panel. Item No. 32
which reflects a change in the typical street section, has been added to
the list of Special Conditions.
We are still very concerned with details relating to the
installation of the proposed retaining wall. It is beyond my
comprehension how this wall can be installed less than 12 inches from
the right-of-way line without dramatically affecting the private
property. There are many large mature maples and oaks in this area,
some of which may be on or very close to the street right-of-way.
Driving sheet piling within a few feet of a mature hardwood tree will
severely damage the root system, not to mention the overhanging
branches, which could result in the tree dying. We were not aware of
this problem until making a visit to the site and trying to determine
the exact location and height of the walls. Without having the right-
of-way located on site, it is impossible to tell if some of these trees
are in the City's right-of-way or on private property.
We also question how this wall will be finished with a protective
coating and/or maintained in the future without access to the exposed
portion from private property without an easement.
An Equal Opporlunity Employer ~'~/

There are a number of alternatives that would help to alleviate
these problems. The most obvious alternative of eliminating the wall
and filling and sloping the area, which requires easements from the
adjacent property owners, has already been proposed. Other solutions
would be to narrow the street to 24 feet with a no parking restriction
and/or steepen the street grade which would decrease the height of the
wall. The narrower street would still allow only about 2 feet within
the City right-of-way for access to the exposed surface of the wall.
Either of these changes would require variances and need to be initiated
by the applicant.
If you have any questions or require additional information please
contact me.

Mound, 3~N 55364-1687
Dear Ms James:
7
On November 22, 1994, the Mound City Council placed the Teal Pointe
Subdivision back into a preliminary stage.
Since the initial planning commission hearing, I have asked several
times to have the Parks and Open Space Commission, and the Mound City
Council review the $4500.00 recommendation for park dedication fees.
During public meetings, the applicant or his representative stated that
the fair market value of the property is $280,000.00. This figure has
been affirmed by numerous accounts in the local newspaper and by the
developer or his representative.
Since this subdivision application was made, section 330:120, Subd. 2,
and Subd. 3 have been reviewed for clarification and have since been
applied to other developments within the limits of the city according
to the ordinance as written in 1989. Incidentally, nowhere in this
section of the ordinance does it state that the Parks and Open Space
Commission needs to make a recommendation to the city council.
However, since this results in a gain for the Mound taxpayers and the
Park Dedication Fund it stands to reason that the P.O.S.C. would make a
recommendation.
At this time I am renewing my request to have this matter placed on the
agenda of either the next Parks and Open Space Commission, Planning
Commission, or City Council meeting to facilitate the change in
recommendation to reflect a fee more consistent with Mound City Code
section 330:120.
Additionally, if city administrators do not apply this and other
ordinances evenly and fairly to the satisfaction of it's citizenry,
they will need to consider an ordinance change.
Please advise me of your intentions so I can make the necessary
preparations.

MIN'UT~ - MOUND CITY COUNCIL - NOVE, MB~ 22, 1994
1.1 RECONFII~MATION OF FINAL PLAT FOR TEAL POINTE.
City Planner, Bruce Chamberlain, reported that several weeks ago John Besseson, representing
Teal Pointe Development, submitted final plat hard shells, requesting that the City release the
final plat for Teal Pointe. It has been a number of months since the plat was approved. There
is some discrepancy in the Mound City Code regarding the amount of time the developer has
to file the final plat after City Council approval. This is the reason it is back before the City
Council this evening for reconfirmation. There is also one item that needs to be modified on
the final plat approval dealing with the time of construction. Under the original final plat
approval, construction would be completed within 180 days of the final plat approval, but
because of the time of year, the developer is asking for 280 days from the time the City Council
reconfirms the final plat. The developer has submitted a number of items to the City in regard
to the reconfirmation but the following items still need to be submitted before signing the final
plat which are:
1. Park dedication fee in the amount of $4,500.
2. Bond or letter of credit in the amount of $127,500.
Staff recommends approval of the reconfirmation and the modification proposed. One condition
should be added to the final plat approval, stating that the final plat should be filed at Hennepin
County within 60 days of the approval of the reconfirmation.
Mound Ck~ Council M~nute~ Novem~ 22, 1994
Tom Casey, representing Biermanns, Rogers, Mr. Meeker and Ms. Clough, stated he has two
issues.
1. The legal status of the final plat.
2. The affect of this plat and this project on the property owners.
Mr. Casey stated that his comments will be on the legal status of the final plat. Some of the
neighbors may want to comment on the effect on their property. Mr. Casey then submitted a
letter/memorandum, dated November 22, 1994, to the City Council for the record. He then
stated that the final plat is void and was void 60 days after it was approved, as of July 10, 1994.
Mr. Casey stated that the hard shells needed to be received by the City before September 14,
1994, or one year after preliminary plat approval. Mr. Casey stated that since the final plat hard
shells were not received until just a few weeks ago, this did not meet the time lines for the plat.
He then stated that as he reads Mound's Code both the preliminary and f'mal plat are now null
and void. This would require the developer to start all over again. Mr. Casey referred to the
following sections of the Mound City Code: Section 330:35, Subd. 1; and Section 330:35,
Subd. 9.
Mr. Casey further asked, "That since this development needs to start again, the City now has
time to correct its deficiencies in the original plat resolutions, i.e. reconsider the park dedication
fees based on a $200,000 market value versus a $45,000 market value (to gain another $15,500
in park dedication fees) by applying the ordinance correctly. The City could also do an EAW
which sets up an archaeological study, not done by the developer, who said for the record that
he only asked for the minimum archaeological study necessary." Mr. Casey also stated that
even the Met Council recommended in their reply to the EAW that Lots 1, 2, and 3 be
unbuildable.
The Council stated that at the time of the EAW, the Native American Indian Council indicated
that they accepted the findings. The lots being unbuildable discussion was done at the time and
yes now they would be unbuildable, but then they were not.
The City Attorney noted that the reason this is back at the Council tonight is that the developer
did not do what they were supposed to do under the terms of the ordinance. It is therefore,
being brought back tonight, and it is his understanding from the Planner and the Engineer, that
there have been no changes, no recommendations either on the ordinance or in the documents
that have been presented. He further stated that he would agree with Mr. Casey in one respect
and that is that it would be better if there was a public hearing just to satisfy that particular
question. The City can process both the preliminary and final plat at the same time. He stated
that he is not as concerned about Mr. Casey's comments about the one year on the preliminary
plat because once the final plat is submitted and approved, the preliminary plat is pretty much
ineffective. The only purpose of the preliminary plat is to run it through and then you make
changes so the developer can make changes to the hard shell and do whatever the Council has
asked. He advised the Council to hold a combined public hearing for the preliminary and final
plat.
The City Attorney stated that the City Code does need to be changed to make the time-lines
more clear.
Mound City Council Minutes
November 22, 1994
John Besseson, representing the Teal Pointe Development, stated that he has worked with
City Staff and the neighbors on the retaining wall issue since May trying to eliminate the
retaining wall and work with the neighbors to landscape their property. He stated that
he has letters from his company to the neighbors on the issue. He stated he had several
meetings with the homeowners, one with the City Manager and City Engineer, and Mr.
Besseson determined that in working with the homeowners, they would not have to be
quite as concerned with the 60 day filing of the plat because he thought he could amend
it. After this meeting he contacted the neighbors and they said that after the meeting
with the City and discussing how it was going to affect them, they would be perfectly
happy with the retaining wall. The reason this was done was to give them a clear
understanding of how the site would impact the neighborhood. It took longer to deal
with the neighbors but he stated he wanted to be cooperative. The neighbors did not
want to go along with anything but what was on the plan. He stated that he it was his
understanding that a petition was signed not wanting any dirt spread on their property.
That was the problem for not getting back to the City in a timely manner. He further
stated that he would like to get into the property and put his steel pilings in, rough the
road in, do the class 5 grading, and be able to put the lift station and sewer in before the
ground is frozen. The only thing that may have to wait until Spring would be the
asphalt. He wants to be able to grade the site and make it driveable, stake the lots and
market them for Spring sales. He requested that his extension be approved tonight so
he could get on with the development.
The Council stated that they have to stand by the ordinance and require a public hearing.
MOTION made by Jessen, seconded by Ahrens to refer Teal Pointe back to the
Planning Commission for their review and recommendation and then set a public
hearing for the City Council to consider the preliminary and f'mal plat of Teal Pointe
for January 10, 1995. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
Harold Meeker, 5132 Waterbury Road, stated that the neighbors never agreed to the retaining
wall.

RE: proposed Resolution #94 - , "Reconfirming and
Modifying Final Plat approval for the Teal Pointe
Residential Development"
Dear Mound City Council,
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this letter into the
record as my clients' comments to the proposed resolution
stated above.
FACTS
me
February 9, 1993 - the Mound City Council adopted
Resolution 93-20, approving a preliminary plat for the
Teal Pointe Development, subject to the completion of an
Environmental Assessment Worksheet.
September 14, 1993 - the Mound City Council adopted
Resolution 93-122, amending Resolution 93-20 to add 6
more conditions to the preliminary plat resolution.
(September 14, 1994 is determined to be the date the
preliminary plat resolution was approved.)
May 10, 1994 - the Mound City Council adopted Resolution
94-65 approving a final plat.
July 10, 1994 - 60-day time period to file and record
final plat has expired. The final plat is null and void
as of this date per Mound City Code Section 330.35 Subd.
9.
Se
From the period of July 10, 1994 to September 14, 1994,
the developer did not file ten (10) copies of the final
plat with the Building Official.
-1-
THE PRELIMINARY PLAT AND FINAL PLAT ARE VOID
By way of background, Mound City Code Section 330:00
states in part, "... All subdivisions of land shall fully
comply, in all respects, with the regulations set forth
herein." Furthermore, Section 330:10 of the Mound City Code
states in part, "Before dividing any tract of land into two
or more lots or parcels, ... the procedures set forth in
Section 330:15 et seq. shall be followed."
Mound City Code Section 330:35 Subd. 1 states, "The
subdivider, within one year, unless extensions are granted
and noted in the preliminary plat resolution, after approval
of the preliminary plat, shall file with the Building
Official ten (10) copies of the final plat prepared by a land
surveyor duly registered in the State of Minnesota. Failure
of the subdivider to submit the final plat within those times
designated on the preliminary plat resolution shall cause the
preliminary and final plats to become null and void."
Based on the facts outlined above, the developer had
until September 14, 1994 (one year after the preliminary plat
was approved) to file the final plat. Because Mound City
Code 330:35 Subd. 9 rendered the final plat null and void on
July 10, 1994, any final plat filed before that time does not
apply to this case. In other words, to create a valid final
plat, 10 copies of the final plat must be filed with the
Building Official after July 9, 1994. However, if the ten
(10) copies of the final plat were not filed until after
September 14, 1994 then the final plat and preliminary plat
become null and void.
At first glance, the second sentence of Mound Code
330:35 Subd. 1 would seem to create a void preliminary and
final plat only if "those times" were designated in the
preliminary plat resolution. However, it is improbable that
the City Council who adopted the ordinance (and stated on
several occasions in the ordinances that the subdivision
procedures shall be followed), would give greater force or
remedies to a city council resolution than to an ordinance
requirement that a final plat must be filed within one year
of a preliminary plat. In other words, would a City Council
suffer an ordinance violation without a remedy?
Moreover, Section 330:30 Subd. 9 reads in part, "The
subdivider may request a one-year time extension at least 45
days prior to the expiration of a preliminary plat ..." With
this re-affirmation in the City Code that a preliminary plat
can expire, it is logical to conclude that a preliminary plat
expires within one year if a final plat has not been filed
per Section 330:35 Subd. 1 of the Mound City Code.
-2-
Minnesota Statute 462.358 Subd. 3c., also gives the city
the authority to negate a preliminary plat after one year
following approval.
Finally, Section 330:195 of the Mound City Code states,
"Anyone violating any of the provisions of this Section (i.e.
the Platting and Subdivision regulations) shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished
by a fine of not more than $500.00 or by imprisonment for a
period of not to exceed 90 days or both. Each day during
which compliance is delayed shall constitute a separate
offense." Does the city council intend to use this ordinance
if it believes that no other remedies are available?
In conclusion, the City of Mound has the authority and
obligation to declare the preliminary and final plat null and
void. The developer must submit a new preliminary plat to
the City to begin the process anew.

MEMORANDUM
November 17, 1994
To: Mound City Council
From: Bruce Chamberlain, Planning Consultant
Re: Teal Pointe final plat reconfirmation and modification.
Teal Pointe Development Company has requested that the City release the final plat
for Teal Pointe residential development. Since it has been over 180 days since the
City Council approved the final plat and the Mound City Code indicates that the plat
must be filed within 60 days of the approval, the developer is requesting
reconfirmation of the plat.
No elements of the plat have changed and the project stands as previously approved.
A recommended modification is the allowable period of construction which was
defined in the original plat approval as 180 days. It is the belief of City Staff that this
schedule would be very difficult to meet given the time of year. Staff is
recommending an extension of the construction period to 280 days. Also, so there is
no future confusion, an additional condition will be placed on final plat approval
stating that the plat shall be filed with Hennepin County within 60 days of City
Council approval of the final plat reconfirmation.
The developer has submitted the required material for filing of the final plat with
exception to the park dedication in the amount of $4,500 and a letter of credit or
other approved form of security in the amount of $127,500. Both of these items must
be submitted prior to the City releasing the plat along with all other conditions of
final and preliminary plat approval as stated in Resolution #94-65 and requirements
of Mound City Code.
Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the plat reconfirmation and modifications.
A resolution to this effect is enclosed. If you have any questions, staff will be
available at the meeting.

COUNTY
Dear Mr. Koegler:
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reviewed and commented on
this proposal during the ~nvironmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW)
process in 1993 (see enclosed copy of Thomas Balcom's July 18, 1993
letter). At that time we had major concerns with site
unsuitability of lots 1, 2, and 3, which are almost entirely within
a Bluff Impact Zone and are unbuildable under current Shoreland
Management standards.
In the packet of information I received'December 9, 1994, lo~s 1,
2, and 3 are still present in the proposed plat. Therefore, DNR
Metro Waters recommends that the city ~ the proposed plat and
associated variance requests.
At the time the city originally approved the Teal Point plat, the
city had not ye~ adopted the shoreland management regula=ions
(although it was fully aware of the standards). However, the city
has subsequently adopted the shoreland management regulations (on
8/23/94) and the DNR has approved the city's regulations (on
9/8/94). Although the DNR felt it was not advisable to approve the
plat in 1993, it is now directly contrary to existing city
regulations to approve the plat as it is currently proposed.
Pursuant to City Code, the Department must be advised of the action
taken on the above request within 10 days. of final action and a
copy of the official record should be forwarded to this office if
the. proposal is not denied. Please contact me at 772-7910 should
you have any questions regarding these comments.

RE: Te~ Pointe Residential Development ~/t .
En~ro~ntE ~s~sament Worksheet (EAW)X~/ "
Dear Mr. Koegler:
'the Department of Natural Re.~ources (DNR) h:~ reviewed the EAW for the proposed
Teal Pomte Residential Development project. Wc offer the following cornmcnts for your
consideration.
The suitability of this site for any residential form of development is highly questionable .
from a natural resources perspective. Field staff review of the project andthe EAW details
the severe buildiug eu~u'aiat~ associated with thc steep slopes and bluffs found at this site.
We agree with the contention in Item 14 that lots 1, 2, and 3are essentially unsuited to
residential development. However. we question whether development should occur on any
part of thc parcel because of thc steep slopes prcscnt and because some of thc homcsitcs
lie witl~in the Bluff Impact Zone. It is questionable whether the plat can be approved
undcz existing ~horclaad stimdards, aud cvezi if the plat i~ approved, there i~ uo guaram~e
that lots 1-3 would be buildable; each of these lots would require a variance before building .
permits can be granted. It also appears that the amount of cutting and filling associated .
with access and road development will be high to meet the 8%-10% slopes that are typical
for city streets.
To reduce further impacts to habitat and water quality, we offer thc following
recommendations:
The proposer should use all appropriate erosion control best management practices
(BMFs) during and after construcuon to reduce erosion and sedimentation on and
off thc site.
Impacts to existing vegetation should be kept to a minimum. Disturbed soft are
should bo reseeded immediately upon project completion with native plant ~pecies.
Ail ruuuff leaving the ~ite should be treated with retention ponds prior to discharge
to the neighboring wetlands, or Lake Minnetonka. Storm water treatment basins
should be sized to adequately detain and treat any water moving offSite. Proper
treatment of storm water will help to maintain the existing water quality of nearby
basins.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this document. We look forward to receivin~gayour
record of decision and responses to comments. Minnesota Rules 4410.1700, subparts &

Dear Mr. Bessesen:
The City of Mound is in receipt of the final plat and a signed development agreement
for Teal Pointe along with your request for City signature on the plat. A number of
issues still require resolution before the City will be in a position to release the plat.
1. Mound City Code Section 330:35, Subd. 9 states that "the subdivider
shall, if the final plat is signed by the Mayor and City Manager, record the final plat
with the County Recorder or the Registrar of Titles within 60 days after signing. Any
final plat not filed and recorded within 60 days of the date of the Council resolutions
approving the final plat, or within 60 days after the plat is considered approved by
reason of the City Council's failure to act..., shall become null and void."
The final plat for Teal Pointe was approved on May 10, 1994 which is over 180 days
ago. Because of the extended period of time, it is the opinion of the Mound City
Attorney, that the final plat will again need to go before the City Council for
reconfirmation.
2. The title opinion for Teal Pointe was granted by the City Attorney on
April 6, 1994. Standard practice dictates that a title' opinion is valid for a period of 6
months. Therefore, another title opinion is necessary prior to City Council
reconfirmation. We encourage you to have an updated abstract provided to the City
Attorney's office or to authorize in writing the Attorney's office to make necessary
arrangements to update your title documents.
3. Resolution 94-65 granting final plat approval stipulates that construction
of public improvements shall be complete within 180 days of the City releasing the
final plat. Due to winter approaching, it is the opinion of the City Engineer, City
Planner and City Attorney that it would be nearly impossible for construction to be
completed in the 180 day time period. Therefore, along with reconfirmation,
conditions of approval should be modified to extend the allowable construction
period to 280 days.

Dear Mr. Edward Shukle:
It has come to my attention that as of September 8, 1994, the final
plat for the Teal Pointe Subdivision has not been recorded. As you
are aware, Mound City Code, Section 330:35 Subd. 9 states,
"The subdivider shall, if the final plat is signed by
the Mayor and City Manager, record the final plat with
the County Recorder or the Registrar of Titles within
60 days after signing. Any final plat not filed and
recorded within 60 days of the date of the Council
resolutions approving the final plat, or within 60
days after the plat is considered approved by reason
of the City Council's failure to act within 60 days of
the filing of the final plat with the Building
Official, shall become null and void."
City Council Resolution 094-65, approving the final plat, was signed
on May 10, 1994. The expiration date for recording the final plat
as Mound City Code applies was July 11, 1994.
Therefore, pursuant to the above ordinance, it is requested that the
matter be placed on the next Mound City Council agenda for a City
Council resolution concurring with Mound City Code that the Teal
Pointe Subdivision final plat is null and void.
Please acknowledge in writing when this item is scheduled on the
agenda and send me a copy of all other written material submitted to
the City Council in this regard.
Thank you for your consideration

DECEMBER 8, 1994
GUIDLINES FOR PLANTINGS ON PUBLIC SHORELAND
Commissioner Darling distributed copies of a revised "Guidelines for Allowing Plantings on
Commons/Public Lands" to the Commission. Darling explained that he changed all the
"shall's" to "should's", and the goal was changed as follows:
From: TO MAINTAIN AND RESTORETHE NATURAL LOOK OF THE COMMONS BY THE USE
OF MORE NATIVE VEGETATION
To:
TO MAINTAIN THE COMMONS IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH ITS INTENDED
USE, IS ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY, AND BEST MEETS THE NEEDS OF ALL
RESIDENTS.
It was suggested that within the Goal, "Residents" be changed to "General Public."
Fackler noted that where the term "Commons" is used, should be changed to "Public
Shoreland."
Darling also noted that the added "other than lawn grass" in a couple of areas, and he
rearranged the order to have a more logical flow.
MOTION made by Darling, seconded by Steinbring, to recommend approval of
the Guidelines for Allowing Plantings on Public Shoreland, including the
following amendments: changing throughout the term "Commons" to "Public
Shoreland" and within the Goal "Residents" be changed to "General Public."
Motion carried unanimously.
The =arks Director stated that this will be forwarded to the City Council for review.
City of Mound Parks and Open Space Commission
Guidelines for AIIowinq Plantinqs on Public Shoreland
GOAL: TO MAINTAIN THE PUBLIC SHORELAND IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH ITS
INTENDED USE, IS ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY,
AND BEST MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
Plantings should not interfere with the free, easy and open traversing of the public shoreland.
Plantings should not give the appearance that the public shoreland is privately owned or that
access is restricted to the general public.
Plantings should be introduced, maintained and administered in such a manner that protect the
environment, wildlife, and lake from any damage or loss of use and solely at the requestor's
responsibility, risk and expense, and removed immediately if so directed by the City of Mound
at the requestor's sole responsibility, risk and expense if found to be inconsistent with these
guidelines.
Non-native plant species are discouraged, but in any event, should not be closer than forty (40)
feet of the ordinary high water level (929.4 for Lake Minnetonka).
5. Plant species:
ao
Plants should not pose a danger of overrunning naturally occurring native species or
other already authorized plantings.
bo
Introduction of species should not create a hazard, unsafe or unlivable environment for
wildlife that naturally inhabits the subject public shoreland area.
c. Species should not increase risk of health problems or be injurious to the public.
No species should be authorized that are classified as noxious weeds, fruit/vegetable
bearing plants, or species that would attract unusually excessive amounts of harmful
insects to the area.
Se
Naturally occurring native species are the preferred choice on the public shoreland, such
as:
Trees:
Bur Oak White Pine
Sugar Maple Aspen
Mountain Ash Basswood
Elm Birch
Shrubs:
Gray Dogwood Hazel
Pagoda Dogwood Viburnum
Ground Covers:
Wild Geranium Aster
Violets Lady Ferns
Columbine Solomon's Seal

PROPOSED RESOLUTION #94-
RESOLUTION TO AMEND
THE PUBLIC LANDS PROCEDURE MANUAL
ADDING "EXHIBIT Q"
GUIDELINES FOR ALLOWING PLANTINGS ON PUBLIC SHORELAND
WHEREAS, City Code Section 320:00, Subd. 6. requires that the Public Lands
Procedure Manual be reviewed and approved by the City Council by Resolutions, and
that the City Council may amend or change the manual by resolution, and;
WHEREAS, while processing public land permit applications, the Parkand Open
Space Commission found it difficult to review issues pertaining to plantings on the
public shoreland, and therefore, developed the subject guidelines, and;
WHEREAS, the Goal is: "To maintain the public shoreland in a manner
consistent with its intended use, is environmentally friendly, and best meets the needs
of all residents, and;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Mound,
Minnesota, to amend the Public Lands Procedure Manual, adding "Exhibit Q",
Guidelines for Allowing Plantings on Public Shoreland, as attached.
MINUTES - COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE - OCTOBER 18, 1994
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 PM. Members present: Mayor Johnson,
Councilmembers Ken Smith, Liz Jensen, Phyllis Jessen, Andrea Ahrens. Absent:
none. Also present: City Manager Ed Shukle.
An ordinance amending Section 350:760. Subd. 4 of the City Code relating to truck
parking in residential areas was discussed. The City Manager explained that this item
had been on the August 23, 1994 regular City Council meeting agenda and was sent
to the Committee of the Whole for further discussion to clarify the direction that the
City Council was to give to the Planning Commission. The Council consensus was to
have the Planning Commission review the photos that had been submitted as part of
the packet material for August 23rd, giving the examples of the different types of
truck vehicles, and to run through those and determine which types of vehicles were
acceptable. Discussion also focused on garaging of commercial vehicles in residential
areas, looking at no more than one vehicle per property. Councilmember Jensen was
directed to bring this matter to the Planning] Commission fg~ further discussion.
Guidelines for allowing plantings on commons/public lands were briefly discussed.
Direction to Councilmember Ahrens to take to the Park and Open Space Commission
was that the commission ought to take into account all of the commons areas and
that the word "shall" really means "must". Guidelines would mean "should" which
softens these standards into guidelines.
Ed Shukle, City Manager, reported on the Westonka Community Center Task Force.
The purpose of the task force, as defined by the Westonka School District Board of
Education is: "...shall be to determine the best use of the Westonka Community
Center and the wisest expenditure of funds to provide for the required code upgrades,
necessary maintenance and desired building modifications to meet school district and
community needs." He informed the Council that the task force would be meeting
between now and January 9, 1995 to come up with recommendations to the school
board on whether the present facility be retained and upgraded according to the
direction of voters on the 1993 referendum, demolish the building and build a new
community center or modify the existing building to accommodate programs and
activities along with the facilities being brought up to proper code as defined by the
Uniform Building Code and the State Fire Marshal. The City Manager wanted to
inform the City Council of the task force and its purpose and to solicit any input from
the City Council as to their thoughts and ideas on this matter. The City Council
suggested that the cities of Spring Park and Minnetonka Beach be invited to sit on the
committee as well. There was some interest by the Council in eliminating the pods
that exist within the community center facility presently, and also to consider
demolishing the building. The City Manager will keep the Council informed as to the
task force's work.
Goal Setting was discussed and briefly reviewed.
MINUTES - MOUND CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 23, 1994
1.12
RECOMMENDATION FROM PARKS AND OPEN SPACE COMMISSION RE;
AMENDMENT TO THE PUBLIC LANDS PROCEDURE MANUAL ADDINg..,
EXHIBIT "Q' - GUIDELINES FOR ALLOWING PLANTINGS ON
COMMONS/PUBLIC LANDS.
The City Manager explained that the POSC has made some recommendations to amend the
procedures manual to allow plantings on Commons or public lands. Basically the goal is to
maintain and restore the natural look of the Commons by the use of more native vegetation.
There is a listing of the types of species that would be acceptable. Refer to page 3486 and 3487
for the proposed resolution with the guidelines. The POSC is asking for consideration and
approval.
The Council asked about grass because there are areas that are like lawn. The Council
questioned whether it is a goal to turn the Commons into a wild area or natural commons. They
could understand the bluff areas being kept natural.
The Council asked if these guidelines would be binding. The City Attorney stated that the
guidelines all start with 'shall not' which seems very mandating or directive. It is not law in
the sense that we could prosecute anyone. The Council discussed changing the language to read
'should or should not', to make it softer. This language was pointed out by City Planner Bob
Day in his memo of August 3, 1994., but it was not reflected in the guidelines that are
proposed.
Councilmember Ahrens stated that the reason this has come about is that when the inventory was
done, there were a variety of plantings found on the Commons. Therefore, a guideline was put
together so that people would know what they could or could not plant on the Commons.
The Council also discussed how people would be notified of these guidelines. They also
discussed the goal. The Council felt that Mr. Day's goal on page 3491 which reads as follows
was a better goal: ' ..... the creation of an overall aesthetic appeal throughout the commons
which will still have the flexibility to absorb modifications in the future.' The Council felt the
POSC needs to recognize that certain types of commons have the look or appearance of lawn
or park and they are going to be mowed. This does not seem to be reflected in the proposed
guidelines.
The Council asked that this be discussed at the next Committee of the Whole Meeting and then
it will be sent back to the POSC for further consideration.

MSAS System Revision
MFRA #10606
Dear Mr. Brown:
The City of Mound is requesting the addition of a short street
segment to their Municipal State Aid Street System. The segment is
Belmont Lane, between Shoreline Blvd. (County Road 15) and Auditors Road
(Control Section 109) and would add 200 feet or approximately 0.04 miles
to the City's system. The City is planning to reconstruct Auditors Road
in 1996, from Commerce Blvd. (County Road 110) to Shoreline Blvd., which
will require this segment.
At the present time the City is at the maximum MSAS mileage
allowable, but a new subdivision is under construction which will add
0.5 miles of local streets. This additional mileage will result in a
0.10 mile increase to the City's allowable MSAS designation. Enclosed
are copies of portions of Mounds's MSAS map which shows the additional
local streets and also the segment of Belmont Lane they wish to add to
their MSAS system.
The City Council will adopt a formal resolution requesting this
revision at their first meeting in January 1995 if it meets with your
approval. If you have any questions or require additional information,
please contact us.
Very truly yours,

CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY
There were 13 building permits issued in December for a construction value of $950,827,
bringing the year-to-date figure to $10,311,185. This month's activity is mainly due to Boyer
Building Corporation starting construction of two units at Pelican Point. A portion of the
Balboa Building also will be getting a new roof. There were 28 plumbing, mechanical and
other miscellaneous permits issued in December for a total of 41 this month, and 764 year-to-
date. This is more than twice the construction value of any of the last several years. More
information on this year's activity will be in my upcoming annual report.
PLANNING & ZONING
There were two planning and zoning cases processed by the Planning Commission and City
Council. Teal Pointe was sent back to the Planning Commission by the Council due to
expiration of the submittal date; this case will be heard again by the Council on January 10,
1995.
A fee increase for sprinkler system permits was approved by the Council on December 13,
1994.
We are looking forward to working with our new Mayor, Bob Polston, and continuing our work
with Mark Hanus, our new City Council member. 1995 looks like an exciting year! The
Planning Commission is looking for a replacement for Mr. Hanus, all interested persons should
contact the City Manager.
COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICER (CSO) ACTIVITY
Total contacts by our CSO, Rick Maki, were 130 this month. The attached report details the
variety. Maki continues to do a good job at this position with minimal supervision and has
other duties with the Police Department that are not included in this report.

SUBJECT: DECEMBER 1994 MONTHLY REPORT
As I anticipated and hoped, the month of December was the best month ever
for sales at your Mound Liquor Store. Gross sales for the month were $158,047. The
previous best month was July in 1993 when we did $154,245. Last year in
December sales were $149,423. So we were up $8,624 or almost 6%. The
customer count for the month was also up by almost 400 over December of 1993.
Everything went smoothly it seemed for the holidays. Perhaps with Christmas
and New Year's falling at the end of the week had something to do with it. Sales
were spread out over six days rather than being crammed into one, two or three days.
Believe me, I prefer the steady consistency sales over the last minute hectic rush.
Stress reduction!
Being that we had to conduct our annual inventory at the end of December, I
let our stock run down to an acceptable level without affecting the appearance of our
shelves or displays. Since inventory was taken January 1st, I will have to wait and
report on that for you in next month's edition. Preliminary figures indicate we had an
excellent year again. Looks as though sales were up approximately $50,000 over
1993. That's right around a 4% increase, which is great when most other stores are
reporting flat or down sales again for the 3rd consecutive year.

repaired two times this month. The first time we fixed in house. The cutting edge
and front tube had rusted away. Tim fabricated some new pieces and put everything
back together. The second time we had to send it to McQueen's to have the input
shaft into the clutch system, splines were all rounded off. The vehicle is back now
and works fine now. We also repaired eight signs that were hit by vehicles sliding or
running off of the road. Had a few others that we replaced that were worn out. We
had some pretty nice weather in December, we had the guys trim limbs that overhang
into the street right-of-ways and into the sidewalks. We will try to do as much as we
can during the winter before spring arrives.
WATER
We had one main break on Bartlett Boulevard on December 12th. It caused some
damage to people's homes. The water ran down the embankment towards a house.
The damage was to carpet, box spring, mattress and some odds and ends. This was
given to the City's insurance company to take care of. The last I heard the claim is
going to be denied cause we were not liable for anything there.
The water meters were read again. It is getting better. We still have some bugs to
work out yet. There is a little trouble with the hand held units not functioning
properly. We think the cold weather caused this. We will try again in January and
if it happens again, we will contact Jeff to get it corrected. The punchlist for the lift
pr~nted on recycled paper
stations for the most part is complete. The only thing we are actually waiting now is
the phone company to complete the final installation in the panel for the automatic
dialers on the warning system. All that should be done the first part of January.
Once that is done, we are pretty much done. Except there are a few items on the list
that need to be addressed this spring; a driveway, some landscaping at a few stations.
Pump house maintenance was done in December. Things need to be painted and
cleaned up, overhauled. We will continue in January. The lead/copper sampling that
we have been doing for the last year, we will be sending another round of samples in
January for four houses. Have had no problems with it, hopefully some time this year,
if everything goes the way it has been going, we should be completed with that and
not have to worry about doing any more testing.
MISCELLANEOUS
Pelican Point - We have spent time out there, Scott from Sewer, Bob and myself.
Installation of utilities, checking to make sure the sewer is televised. They will be
giving us a tape of it. The storm sewer has been put in and lamped and inspected.
The watermain's are all in. We haven't received the test results for the disinfection
of the watermain as of yet, it should be coming soon.
Staff - Pat Cheney has left employment with the City. He left December 12th. We
are in the process of accepting applications now for his position until January 11th.
Hopefully, we will have someone in place by the middle of February.

PARKS
With the warm weather the ice rinks were set back as far as being able to make ice.
As soon as the cold weather sets in we will catch up so they are skateable.
A list has been prepared for the rip rapping proposed for 1995. This has been mailed
to contractors and is due back by January 16, 1995. If ice conditions are good, this
work will be done in February. Also quotes are being taken on the stairways to
docking areas, this work will wait until April of this year to begin.
The play equipment for Dundee Park has been ordered and is expected to arrive in
March. The homeowners in the neighborhood had input on what they wanted and are
happy to see improvements being done.
DOCKS
The 1995 forms have been readied for mailing for renewal of dock sites.
the water level up, I anticipate all sites to be rented.
Again with
The dock inspector has made rounds for proper storage of docks. There have been
some minor problems, but they are being resolved. The dock inspector will look at all
sites in February to see how many docks are left in the lake and also compile the
number of complaints. This is to be done to help see if change is needed in the
ordinance for dock storage.
TREES
This time of year is slow on complaints for trees. The only work done was at Three
Points Park where there was removal of hazardous trees and limbs along with
trimming of all trees in the park.

DECEMBER 1994, MONTHLY REPORT
There was one regular meeting in December with agendas, minutes and resolutions to prepare.
The Cemetery Map was updated with all the changes that took place in 1994.
I entered all the minutes from 1994 into the Clerk's Index Program on my computer. This
really works slick when you need to find something later, just a few key strokes and you have
the information.
New fries were made for 1995.
The Police Department's Policy & Procedure Manual and Emergency Operation Procedures
Manual had to be converted from Word Star to Word Perfect to conform with new software.
It took about a week to complete this project.

During the month of December we prepared for the closing of the year
in the Finance Department. Changes were implemented in the Payroll
System to conform to the regulations from the IRS. W-2 were printed
and will be distributed in early January.
The new rates for water and sewer, as approved by the council, are now in
place and a 5% overall increase will be reflected starting with the next billing.
The 1995 city budget was approved by the council on December 13.
The levy was certified to the county, the truth in taxation report was filed
with the State Department of Revenue, and a summary report was submitted to
the Office of the State Auditor. The same summary will be published
in the Laker in January.
It is again that time of the year when we finalize the year's activity,
summarize and analyze the numbers and prepare for the audit.

,, RECE;'.'F_3 ,gEC ! 9 1994
Dear City Managers/Administrators/Clerks:
Those of you who have newly elected officials taking office on January 1 are no doubt
planning orientations to familiarize new members with city goals, departments, services
and programs. As part of your orientation program, we hope you'll encourage new
councilmembers and mayors to attend the League of Minnesota Cities' Conference for
Newly Elected Officials.
This conference has been re-designed for 1995 to focus on giving newly elected
officials an overview of what it means to be a member of a city council and what their
job entails. As the first program offered as part of the League of Minnesota Cities' new
Leadership Institute, participants will have the opportunity to hear about the rewards
and challenges of being an elected official from experienced mayors and
councilmembers. In addition, they will be provided with practical information they need
to be an effective elected official.
Elected officials have asked us to offer this conference at different locations across
Minnesota. This will be our first year to offer the Newly Elected Officials Conference on
three different dates and in three different locations:
GRAND RAPIDS
Sawmill Inn
January 20-21
NEW ULM
Holiday Inn
January 27-28
ST. LOUIS PARK
Sheraton Park Place
February 3-4
All three conference sites will feature experienced presenters who have "hands-on"
knowledge of city government in elected and appointed positions. Newly elected
officials can select the program site that is nearest to them or most conveniently
scheduled.
Encourage your newly elected officials to attend this conference and learn more about
what's involved in the job of being an elected official, the legal realities of what city
councils can and cannot do, and the practical aspects of being an effective elected
official. Further information is available in the enclosed brochure, along with a
registration form for the conference and hotel accommodations.

We also hope you'll encourage your new members to attend a special pre-conference
seminar on city finances which will be held at each of the three conference sites on
Friday afternoon from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m., preceding the Newly Elected Officials
Conference. This special pre-conference program will give them an important
opportunity to learn about many aspects of municipal finance.
We would appreciate your assistance in distributing the enclosed brochures and
registration information to your city officials.
On behalf of the League of Minnesota Cities, we send our very best wishes for the new
year.

1995 NLC Congressional-City Conference
Enclosed is the program brochure and registration for the 1995 NLC Congressional-City
Conference, to be held in Washington, D.C., March 11-14. City officials are encouraged to
attend and take part in developing an action plan to gain support for critical budget and
policy issues facing cities during the 104th Congress. On Tuesday, March 14, the League
will coordinate meetings on Capitol Hill for city officials with members of the Minnesota
Congressional Delegation. At those meetings, Minnesota city officials will present our
priorities for federal legislation to our congressional delegation.
The deadline for advance registration is Friday, February 10. After that date,
on-site registration will be necessary. In early January, the League will also send out travel
service information.
City officials attending the NLC Congress of Cities in Minneapolis last month identified five
issues as the most immediate for Congress to address in 1995: public safety, deficit
reduction, balanced budget, and stormwater. LMC 1995 City Policies also identify issues
of concern to cities in Minnesota, including unfunded mandates, increased funding for
Community Development Block Grants, laws regulating the public workplace and reforms to
reduce personnel costs, consolidating and prioritizing environmental programs, transferring
authority to use revenues when shifting responsibility for delivering services, growth
management, IDB restrictions, telecommunications, and tax policies and support of fair
market rents (FMRs) to encourage production and availability of affordable housing.
The NLC Board of Directors, on which Mayor Karen Anderson of Minnetonka serves, will
adopt a '95 Action Agenda at the conference. Minnesota city officials also need to define
our priorities and address those at the NLC Congressional-City Conference. There also,
Minnesota city officials serving on '95 NLC policy and steering committees will help
influence the work program and policy studies to be conducted during the coming year.
This is your chance to participate in setting that agenda and bringing our priorities for
congressional action directly to members of the Minnesota Congressional Delegation.

~hen the 104th Congress convenes in
January 1995, it will bring new faces,
new challenges, and an agenda of unfinished
municipal business. It will be an important time for
local leaders to make their voices heard again to fin-
ish the leftover work and influence the direction of
the new national agenda.
From public safety to information highways to
unfunded federal mandates, the Clinton adminis-
tration and Congress will be making decisions that
will affect every city and even' town. These deci-
sions will affect local crime rates and family securi-
ty, local taxes, local access to inter-
national market-
places, and local
services. As these
decisions are made,
local leaders will be
challenged to speak
with one voice to
define a clear voice for
the nation's cities and
towns. The 1995 confer-
ence will provide you, as
a leader, with a unique
opportunity to:
-, Learn first-hand
what is on President
Clinton's agenda and
in his budget affecting
your community, and
make sure he knows
what is on your com-
munity's priority list;

The Congressional City
Conference will offer a range of
policy and legislative sessions.
work sessions, and town meetings.
Some of the key issues for discussion and
action in I995 are:
President Clinton signed the Violent
Crime Control and Lag' Enforce-
ment Act of 1994 into law on
September 14, 1994 to help reduce
violent crime and enhance public
safety in communities. The law
calls for funding 100.000 new. local
police officers now and the funding
of a new Local Partnership Act in
1996 to target federal resources to
help with community policing.
gun control, and prevention activi-
ties. Will Congress Gllow
through on this commitment?
This will be an important chance
to come together to make sure the
commitment is real.
The next' Congress will return to
an unfinished environmental
agenda -- Clean \Vater.
Superfund. municipal flow con-
trol authority, and Safe
Drinking \Vater. Failure to act
triggered EPA stormwater per-
mit mandates on October 1.
1994 that could devastate local
budgets and impose signifi-
cant. new. unGnded liabili-
ties, as well as subject cities
and municipal officials to citi-
zen suits. Congressional and
EPA representatives will dis-
cuss what these failures
mean and what the agenda is
to respond. For city leaders.
it will be a time to demand
answers about costs, bene-
fits. and potential liabilities.
In 1994, the Clinton administration
urged Congress to enact federal legis-
lation to create a federal information
superhighway that would preempt
municipal franchising authority and
adversely affect local sales tax rev-
enues and how cities communicate
with citizens. The House over-
whelmingly agreed. The Senate. after
initially responding to local concerns,
drafted its own version to eliminate
any role for local governments. This
year. the administration and tele-
phone companies will try to pass fed-
eral laws which could channel hun-
dreds of billions of dollars of private.
for-profit investment through munic-
ipal rights-of-way in the construction
of the information superhighwav.
What do these changes portend'for
municipal leaders? How will they
reshape cities? Why did Congress
refuse to listen to cities in 19047 How
can city leaders be at the table this
time?
. -~/2 .' _ "7
The challenge of controlling the
human and fiscal costs of welfare
which are destroying families and
strangling the budgets of state, feder-
al. and local governments will be a
central focus of the President and
Congress in 1995. Congress will act
on one of the major alternatives to
revamp our national welfare system.
But few in the Congress or the
administration have carefully consid-
ered the role or potential impact and
consequences of their competing pro-
posals on cities and towns. The con-
ference provides a critical opportunity
for municipal leaders to assess the
proposals, to ensure that federal offi-
cials arc forced to think about local
consequences, and to communicate
how various strategies will affect vour
city's families and your city's budget.
X lunicipal leaders need to stay
informed so that concern for the
unique and special role and responsi-
bility of cities and towns is not lost in
the national debate.
lhe 1995 Congressional City Confer-
ence is a call to action -- a first step in
defining the r01e of local leaders in the
national debates that begin when Congress con-
venes. In 1995. the President and a new
Con,ess will confront each other on issues of
public safe~., taxes, budgets and deficits,
unfunded mandates, welfare reform, and
telecommunications issues that could change the
face of cities. This meeting offers a unique
opportunity to be there to help shape the fi
those debates and the outcomes -- to be a p~
to making change benefit )'our community. It
will require tough choices. But that's what lead-
ership is all about.

The Leadership Training Institute is
a resource center for assisting local offi-
cials of all levels of experience in respond-
lng to the complex challenges of commu-
nity leadership. Its mission is to support
and underscore the important role elected
officials play in revitalizing our towns and
cities and leading positive change.
The 15 half-day and full-day semi-
nars listed below have been designed to
enhance participants' abilities to under-
stand and effectively lead change and
innovation within their communities.
These seminars will be led bv skilled
instructors and will provide l~articipants

I. LEADERS AS COALITION
BUILDERS: PRACTICAL
SKILLS FOR BUILDING
COMMLLNITY
.March 10 9:00 a.m. - $:00p. m.
Registration Fee: $135
Coalition building does not come natural-
Iy to most of us. Although we recognize
the value of coalitions, most of us have
been trained to advocate and win posi-
tions, not to build bridges with those we
disagree with or be~.veen angry or polar-
ized groups. The purpose of this full-day
highly interactive workshop is to provid~
local officials a set of skills and concepts
for becoming community and organiza-
tion coalition builders. Participants will
learn to apply kev principles for trans-
forming adversarial and conflict ridden
associations into relationships of under-
standing and respect. They will learn
techniques for refraining issues, achieving
[ommon g~'ound. ~nd creating trust with-
in mistrusting environments. This semi-
nar will be conducted bv Cheri Brown
and Al Herring of the ~ational Coalition
Building Institute (NCBI). For those who
have attended one of the half-day NCBI
seminars offered through the Leadership
Training Institute previously, this semi-
nar will offer an opportunity to further
explore the application of NCBI's model
for building coalitions.
11. MEETING LEADERSHIP
.6.ND FACILITATION I
March 10 9:00a.m - 5:00p. m.
Registration Fee: $135
Meetings play a critical role in local gov-
ernment decision making. They also pro-
vide local officials with a rewarding
opportunity for demonstrating competen-
cy as facilitative leaders. This hands-on
seminar will instruct local officials in
practical, time-tested techniques for facili-
tating effective meetings. By the end of
this session, participants will have
acquired the critical skills and information
necessary to guide =m'oups through pro-
ductive (vork~sessions and collaborative
problem-solving activities. Techniques of
brainstorming, prioritization conflict res-
o ution, and team building will be cov-
ered. A follow-up course, Meeting
Leadership and Facilitation II will be
offered on March 11 and agal~ during the
Leadership Training Institute held prior
to the Congress of Cities in December
1995.
Ill. THE AMERICANS WITH
DISABILITIES ACT:
MANAGING YOUR CITY'S
COSTS, BENEFITS, AND
RESPONSIBILITIES
March 10 9:00a.m. - 5:00p.m
Registration Fee: S135
No matter their good intentions, many
cities are facing lawsuits as well as un~lue
costs and hardship as a result of the
Americans With Disabilities Act IADAi.
With the AD3.'s January 1995 compli-
ance deadline rapidly approaching, under-
stan(ting how [o corfiply with the ADA's
requirements is more important than ever.
This course will assist local officials in
managing their options and opportunities
in ADA compliance. Topics to be
addressed include: why cities are being
sued: how to prevent stilts; how to reduce
construction and employment costs: how
to mitigate complaints from the disability
community; how to get needed answers '
from the Federal government. This semi-
nar will bring together experts in the field
?f local government compliance, includ-
ing nationally recognized representatives
from the Department of Justice and other
federal implementing agencies, the legal
community, and disability rights commu-
nit5.'. Through targeted lectures, case
studies, and interactive group exercises.

solutions and strategies for addressing city
and town compliance issues.
IV. EFFECTIVE MEDIA
RELATIONS: IvlANAGING
YOUR MESSAGE WHEN IT
MATTERS THE MOST
March I0 9:00a.m. - Noon
Registration Fee: $85
This seminar is about what to do when
the media suddenly calls. It's also about
.all the. many do's a~d dont's for handling
interviews, responding to emergencies,
seeking positive publicity, and building
effective relationships with the press, the
airways, and the communit-y at large. An
ener~zed format which includes lectures,

V. REINVENTING YOUR
LOC,M. GOVERNMENT'S
BUDGETING PROCESS
March 10 9:00 a.m.- Noon
Registration Fee: $83
While once driven by numbers, line
items, and previous allocations, budgeting
for many cities is helping to drive the
realignment and refocusing of govern-
ment services. Instead of concentrating
on historical data and incremental change,
reinvented budgeting processes are evolv-
ing to help cities and their decision mak-
ers better address the needs and futures of
their changing communities.
This seminar ':,'ill look at ways in
which a number of cities are con~rolling
costs and increasing effectiveness by step-
pin.g outside the box of traditional [3ud-
getmg processes. In addition to outlinino
how remvemed processes &ffer trom
more traditional ones, this session will
provide participants with an in-depth
opportunity to focus on the following top-
ics: the purpose and elements of mission
and value driven budgeting: methods for
establishing outcomes and allocating
resources that cross departmental lines:
ways in which budgeting can help cities
connect better with the needs of their citi-
zens/customers: and specific steps for
implementation and on-going improve-
ment. in addition to providing insights
and lessons learned from cities across the
country, this session will provide partici-
pants with the opportunity to analyze
ways for improving their own cities' bud-
get~ng process. Presenters will include
Bonnie Svrcek, Assistant Town Manager
of Blacksburg, \:iroinia; Mary Bunting.
Assistant to the Ci~, Manager of
Hampton, \'irginia'as well as elected and
appointed officials from other local gov-
VI. FAMILY VIOLENCE:
STOPPING THE CYCLE
THAT BEGINS AT HOME
March 10 9:00 a.m - Noon
Registration Fee: $85
It starts in the home, but its impact upon
entire communities is devastating.
Family violence, once thought of as a pri-
vate and solated matter, ma',' be the sin-
gle greatest contributor to crlme and vio-
lence in the United States. It may also be
one of the most costly and complex issues
facing local governments. With nearly
three million children reported as abu~d
or neglected in 1993, with 20 percent of
adult women having experienced physical
abuse by their parmers, cities and towns
are recognizing the affect this violence is
having on schools, police, neighborhoods,
social sen'ice departments, and families
and chil&en.
This practical seminar will provide
local officials with specific examples,
models, strategies, and funding sources
for addressing domestic violence within
their communities. By featuring local
officials, experts in the field of family
health an_d criminal justice, and repri:sen-
t~uves of community-based organiza-
nons, this seminar will shed new light on
and hope for tackling one oftbe most
insidious forms of violence affecting chil-
dren and families everywhere, In addition
to demonstrating the tremendous impact
that domestic violence is having on our
cities and towns, this session will give par-
ticipant? new approaches for leading and
mppomng powerful community-based
initiatives.

OFFICLS. LS: A DIALOGUE
ON LOCAL LEADERSHIP
AND GOVERNANCE
March Il) l:30p.m. - 5:00p. m.
Registration Fee: $85
Local government has become a crucible
for change and controversy. And, as a
result, man)' elected offici;ils, caught in
the upsurge of this change, find them-
selves questioning their roles and respon-
sibilities as elected leaders. This seminar
will t}ature respected local leaders in open
dialogue with each other on the roles,
responsibilities, and challenges of elected
officials during the 1990s. Designed to
provide personal insights and perspc
rarely covered in a seminar on lea&
and governance, this seminar will
issues and behaviors pertaining to: styles
of leadership, strategies for bridging com-
munity differences, ways for maintaining
personal and political honor and fortitude,
and opportunities ~br supporting positive
change and innovation within communi-
ties and local government organizations.

PUBLIC SPEAKING
March 10 l:30p.m. . $:00p.m.

IX. SAFER CITIES:
CREATIVE PROGtLq-MS FOR
CONFRONTING VIOLENCE
AND CRIME
March 11 9:00a. m. - 5:00p.m.
Registration Fee: $133
Larger police forces are one way to battle
the crime problem. Fortunately for cities
and towns, recent trends are suggesting
that there are a number of other methods
that not only reduce the prevalence of
crime but, through cooperative partner-
ships and appropriate intetwentions, pre-
vent the underlying conditions that cause
crime and violence to proliferate. This
seminar wilt present state-of-the-art crim-
inal justice initiatives that are making a
real differance for communities. During
this seminar, participants will learn specif-
ic ways local governments are working
with the courts, the police, the schools and
thc community at-larze to successfully
:onfront conditions o~ crime, in addit'~on,
tbey wiiI explore how cities can best utilize
thmr existing criminal justice resources

voice even if it may be polarized and nega-
tive. For local officials willing to respond
to this call for change, willing to look
beyond "us" and "them" and instead
speak of "we," new ways for connecting
with citizens are helping to refocus the
nay-saying while strengthening the trust
and effectiveness of local government.
Using a stimulating, interactive
approach, this session will provide partici-
pants with effective and practical strategies
for engaging citizens in public decision-
making. Techniques for framing issues in
a way that encourages positive input and
participation, methods for determining
and communicating what's negotiable and
what's not. successful approaches for
identifying and connecting with the "real"
public, and specific communication prac-
tices that facilitate and support meaning-
ful exchange are just a few of the topics
that will be discussed and explored.
During the session, participants will have
the opportumtT to examine the appropri-
ate role of public hearings in collaborative
decision-making and gain practice in
designing next' kinds of public decision-
making processes that can break barriers
to effective citizen participation. Tweed
Kczziah and Susan \Vatkins. principals of
the firm of Kczziah\Vatkins. will lead this
seminar.
X. MEETING LEADERSHIP
AND FACILITATION II
March !1 o:ot)a.m. . 5:00p.m
Registration Fee:
This seminar will enhance local officials
skills as meeting leaders and neutral facili-
tators. Facilitation techniques will be
taught in "real time" practice situations
where participants facilitate groups
through a variety of problem-solving,
decision-making and consensus-building
sessions. At the end of each practice ses-
sion, participants will receive supportive
feedback from the workshop participants
and workshop leaders. As an extension of
the course, "Meeting Leadership and
Facilitation I" offered on March 10 and
previously offered during other
Leadership Training Institutes, this ses-
sion is designed for those who have either

XII. BUILDING CREDIBILITY
THROUGH CUSTOMER
SERVICE
March 11 ~:1)¢) a.m - Noon
Registration Fcc: S85
If the business of governmemt is service,
providing government service m a way
that meets the needs and interests of the
public is critical to a city's or town's per-
ceived effectiveness. "Customer service,"
although sometimes wrongly touted as
just another hd. is far more than treating
citizens with respect and promptness. In
its fullest and most powerful manifesta-
tion, an effective customer service initia-
tive can help elected officials realign their
city's services around those activities that
add value not cost to a local govern-
ment's way of doing business.
This seminar will provide partici-
pants with practical steps for design-
ing and maintaining an effective cus-
tomer sen, ice program, tn addition
to looking at ways for identiB,.'ing
who the customer really is and
what the role of the elected offi-
cial is in providing customer
service, this seminar will
examine how to determine
what citizens/customers
really want,
how to respond to their wants within a
limited budget, and how to deal with
angry, and hostile citizens when they
believe their wants are not being appropri-
ately met. Instructed by Kitty Clark, affil-
iate of the University of Georgia's Carl
Vinson Institute of Government, this
seminar promises to provide an invaluable
perspective and set of ideas for strength-
ening the impact of local government ser-
vice deliver,.
X.III. GOVERNMENT
PRODUCTIVITY
MEASURES: PRIVATE
SECTOR TOOLS FOR
PUBLIC SECTOR PAY-OFF
March 11 9:00 a.m. - Noon
Registration Fee: $85
As more and more businesses are demon-
strating the value of concentrated produc-
tivity efforts, citizens are demanding that
local governments pay attention.
.\leasuring pedormance, restructuring ser-
vice delivery systems, and infusing quality
initiatives ir;.to'day-to-day operations are
no longer just suited for private sector
organizations. State-of-the-art productivi-
ty tools are vital to the day-to-day busi-
ness of local government.
This seminar will present the latest
and most effective practices for improving
services and reducing waste in the day-to-
day business of local government. Tools
and strategies such as benchmarking,
streamlining, program redesign, and con-
tinuous improvement will be looked at in
terms of their application to specific gov-
ernment functions and activities. Led by
William Gay, President of the Public
Management Group, Vienna. Virginia,
this information-packed session will fea-
ture representatives of various local gov-
ernments who have experience and suc-
cess in using state-of-the-art productivity
measures.
XIV. NEIGHBORHOOD
EMPOWERMENT: NEW
THINKING AND
STRATEGIES FOR
BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS
WITH THE COMiML2qlTY
March 11 l:30p.m. - 5:00p.m.
Registration Fee: $85
From Virginia Beach, Virginia to Long
Beach, California, cities across the country
are empowering citizens, supporting self-
sufficiency, and rethinking government's
role as "solver" and mediator of all public
By supporting and nurturing
strong neighborhood organizations,
local governments of all sizes are
redefining the nature of the rela- tionship between local govern-
ment and their community.
This powerful seminar
will look at how
and whv local governments are renegotiat-
ing theist role with local neighborhoods. In
addition to looking at the political, social
and economic challenges of creating a
strong network of citizens and communi-
ty-based neighborhood organizations, this
session will focus on the steps, acnvities
and resources for building and supporting
such a network from scratch. Local offi-
cials from communities with established
neighborhood organizations as well as
those working to create and support brand
new ones will focus on: their methods for
creating effective neighborhood organiza-
tions where none previously existed: their
experiences and success in training citi-
zens in leadership education and commu-
nity mediation: their strategies for stimu-
lat{ng and supporting committed neigh-
borhood work groups that help revitalize
local streets and housing: their successes
in rebuilding a sense of trust and stewar-

XV. LEADING AND
NL~NAGING CI-L~.NGE IN
THE 908: FINDING ANT)
LEVERJ~GING YOUR 15
PERCENT
March 11 1:30p. m. - 5:00p.m
Registration Fee: $85
IMPORTANT! As a leader of change
and innovation within your community,
5'our ability to understand and influence
the dynamic nature of change may be crit-
ical to vour success and survival as an
elected official. Because change is not the
linear, step-by-step process that we once
thought it was, leading and managing in
the 19O0s requires a framework and set of
perspectix es that will support resiliency
and innovation over rigidity and fear.
This seminar will not only provide you
with a context for understanding and deal-
ing with the change around you, it will
also provide a set of perspectives and
strategies that will help you initiate change
in a new way. Through presentations,
video demonstrations, and small group
exercises, this session will enable you to
appreciate and apply the art and science of
managing your 13 percent (your critical
sphere of influence) and will send you off
with a specific set of tasks for responding
to and initiating change back home. Led
by Dr. Linda Grant, expert in the field of
managing change and organizational per-
formance, this eye-opening seminar will
provide an exciting and liberating context
for creating hope and opportunity for the
future of our cities.

To: LMCIT agents
From: Peter Tritz
Re: LMCIT property/casualty dividend
The 1994 LMCIT property/casualty dividend checks for the cities your agency represents are
enclosed, along with a sheet showing the premium and loss figures used to calculate the city's
dividend. We've also enclosed copies of a memo explaining how the dividend is calculated. We'd
ask that you pass that memo on to the city officials as well when you deliver the dividend check to
them.
The LMCIT Board suggests that if possible you meet with the city council to discuss the dividend
and to respond to any questions they might have. This can also be an opportunity to discuss other
topics as well, such as recent LMCIT rate actions, coverage changes, perennial questions like
whether to carry excess liability coverage, new coverage options like the bond coverage or the
Open Meeting Law defense coverage, the services you provide in your role as the city's agent, and
so on.
We'd also like to hear about any suggestions city officials have for ways LMCIT can improve its
service, new coverages or coverage options cities would like LMCIT to consider, and so on. We
also very definitely want to hear about any problems the city officials have run into with LMCIT
or any complaints about the service LMCIT is providing.
If you have questions or need any other information, please don't hesitate to call me or Tom
Grundhoefer here at the League offices. Remember, you no longer need the extra three-digit city
code to use our 800 number -just dial 1-800-925-1122.

Honored Mayor and Council Members:
On behalf of the Mound Fire Department, I would like to express our
delight with the three new dry fire hydrapts now in operation on
Enchanted Island. You have done your constituents a ~reat service by
improvin~ the fire protection for the residents of Enchanted and
Shady Islands. I feel you have taken a leadership role that will
serve as a prototype for other lake communities to follow.
A special thanks should be ~iven Jerry Grewe for spearheadin~ this
worthwhile project which he initiated with my predecessor, Chief Don
Bryce. Thanks also to Jim Hurm and his staff and their "can-do"
attitude. It was a pleasure workin~ with them throughout the
project.
Even though we hope we never have to use the hydrants to battle a
house fire, there is great assurance in knowin~ the water supply
exists to do the job efficiently.

Dear Mr. Shukle:
We are pleased to notify you that your comprehensive annual finan-
cial report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993 qualifies
for a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting. The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of
recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting,
and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a
government and its management.
When a Certificate of Achievement is awarded to a government, an
Award of Financial Reporting Achievement is also presented to the
individual designated by the government as primarily responsible
for its having earned the certificate. Enclosed is an Award of
Financial Reporting Achievement for: Gino Businaro,
Finance Director.
The Certificate of Achievement plaque will be shipped under sepa-
rate cover in about eight weeks. We hope that you will arrange for
a formal presentation of the Certificate and Award of Financial
Reporting Achievement, and that appropriate publicity will be
given to this notable achievement. To assist with this, a sample
news release and the 1993 Certificate Program results are enclosed.
We hope that your example will encourage other government offi-
cials in their efforts to achieve and maintain an appropriate
standard of excellence in financial reporting.
Sincerely,
GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION
