The Park and Open Space Commission wanted this parcel to remain a Nature Conservation Area (NCA). Mayor Polston asked this item to be tabled until more research could be done.

He stated that in October, 1993, the Council voted 4-0 to retain the property and not sell it. If this NCA was sold, it could set a precedent for the sale of other NCA's and the City would be out of green space.

The adjacent property owners, Phil Klein to the south of the lot, and Tom Aune to the west of the lot, spoke to the Council. Mr. Aune has somewhat maintained this vacant lot since he purchased his home in 1987. He stated the additional area would make his property more conforming. Mr. Klein just built a home on the two lots to the south of the vacant lot and would like to purchase the property to maintain it in a cleaner natural state. The two adjacent owners would subdivide the vacant lot and add it onto their own parcels. City Attorney, Curt Pearson, stated the proposed buyers need to define their reason for the purchase. There is a process to purchase the lot; a survey will be needed, to identify the proposed subdivision and combination, a waiver from the City Council must be applied for and conditions need to be made on the future use of the property. Peter Meyer, member of the Parks and Open Space Commission, spoke to the Council regarding the City retaining this parcel as an NCA. 20 4 City Manager Ed Shukle researched the Minutes of the Council from 1993 and determined the lot in question has not been designated by the Council as an NCA. Tom Casey stated that all of the costs related to researching this should be charged to the potential buyers, not to the City.

SALITERMAN, 5211 SHORELINE DRIVE, LOTS 7 - 20 & 26 - 35, PID #13-117-24 34 0072. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR DRIVE-IN BANKING FACILITY. PUBLIC HEARING. The Building Official reviewed the City Planners report. Mr. Saliterman is seeking approval of a conditional use permit and the issuance of variances to allow construction of a new free- standing Norwest Bank building in the parking lot area of Shoreline Plaza, next to Hardee's Restaurant. The proposed bank will contain approximately 3,600 square feet and will have a drive-in facility that includes 4 teller lanes and 1 ATM lane. The teller lanes will be accessed from the west, from the existing Shoreline Plaza parking lot and traffic will loop around the building and exit to the west near an existing driveway curb cut along County Road 15. The proposed bank will replace Norwest's present location in downtown Mound. 19o Saliterman, p, 2 of 4 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 1995 In order to construct the new bank, the City of Mound will need to approve a conditional use permit prompted by the inclusion of the drive-in portion of the subject proposal, and the City will need to address requested variances involving parking space count and space size, sign placement, impervious cover, and distance between drive-in facilities and residential uses. COMMENTS: Staff has met with the applicant and discussed issues and concerns pertaining to grading, drainage and landscaping. Issues pertaining to grading, drainage and landscaping are largely of a technical nature and can be worked out between City staff and the applicant. Issues highlighted by the Building Official within the Planner's included: 1. A drainage plan needs to be submitted for approval by the city engineer. 2. Lighting. 3. Electronic devices. Parking for the entire center needs to be considered. The site plan identifies a total of 176 parking spaces which is approximately 84% of the required parking amount. The present mix of uses in the Shoreline Plaza shopping center can probably be reasonably serviced by 176 parking spaces. Technical Site Modifications as noted in the Planner's report, including expansion of the existing drive aisle that serves as the entrance to the bank's drive-in area, expansion of all concrete median areas around the bank, and parking lot circulation. 6. Impervious surface coverage variance; to increase from 88% to 98% (approximately). Sign variance. In this case, the property has an extended frontage along County Road 15 and adequate space exists to accommodate the proposed Norwest sign in addition to the relocated shopping center sign, however, since the applicant has not provided any further details, it is assumed that the signs will conform to the City's height, area and placement criteria. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of the conditional use permit and variances pertaining to parking, impervious cover, the placement of two freestanding signs along 1 street frontage, and the electronic devices setback for Norwest Bank subject to the conditions listed in the Planner's Report.

Construction of all improvements shall be in conformance with all local, state and federal ordinance and permit requirements. 5. The applicant shall complete and submit the required variance application form including corresponding fees prior to the time that this case is heard by the Mound City Council. The applicant shall have a qualified land surveyor complete the required impervious cover calculation form and submit it to the City prior to the time that this case is heard by the Mound City Council. DISCUSSION: Mueller expressed a concern about the plans not being done and having the proposal pushed through. Weiland questioned if enough information has been provided. The Building Official commented that it was staff's opinion the proposal could be approved, with the conditions noted. Bob Seeger, Project Manager, explained to the Commission that this bank will have all the amenities of an ordinary bank with the exception of a safety deposit vault. The ATM will be accessible 24 hours per day and it will be located within the first lane of the drive-thru. Mr. Seeger stated that he has been the bank architect for 15 years. Mark Saliterman clarified that Rite Away Oil is located on a separate parcel, so their sign is separate. Mr. Saliterman commented that they are on a tight budget and they did not want to spend $20,000 on plans for a proposal that may not get approved. This approval is also subject to the approval by Jubilee. Saliterman stated that he has talked with Hardee's. Saliterman, p, 4 of 4 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 1995 Mueller expressed a concern about stormwater management and questioned why the hardcover should be allowed to be increased. Chair Michael opened the public hearing. There being no one present to speak on the issue, Chair Michael closed the public hearing. Mueller expressed his disappointed that the City Planner, Mark Koegler, was not present. Relating to Mueller's concern about stormwater management and the increase in hardcover, the Building Official stressed the fact that this proposal must also gain approval from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Sutherland confirmed that no construction or grading on the property will be allowed to begin until a grading permit is issued and approval from the MCWD is received. Mueller questioned findings of fact and hardship in order to approve this request. The Building Official suggested that the City Planner can draft findings prior to review by the City Council. MOTION made by Mueller, seconded by Weiland, to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit and Variances as recommended by staff to allow construction of a new Norwest Bank building. MOTION carried unanimously. This case will be heard by the City Council at a public hearing on August 8, 1995. STATE OF DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES PHONENO. METRO WATERS, 1200 WARNER ROAD, ST.

Saliterman, Conditional Use Permit, (City No. 95-19), Lake Minnetonka (27-133P), City of Mound, Hennepin County Dear Mr. Sutherland: We have reviewed the above-referenced conditional use permit request (received July 20, 1995) and we recommend denial of the conditional use permit request as proposed. The impervious surface of the proposed banking facility would increase from 89% to 98%. This high amount of impervious surface far surpasses the 30% impervious surface limit for shoreland areas. In addition, it did not appear that the applicant has made any effort to improve the quality of runoff through stormwater treatment. We recommend that this proposal be approved only if the applicant agrees to treat the runoff from the site. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District should be consulted in the writing and implementation of a stormwater management plan for the site. Also note that the adoption of a shoreland ordinance does not automatically creat hardship for property owners. Hardship must be demonstrated to justify receiving a variance, or conditional use permit. The approval of a conditional use permit due to hardship should be based on the following prerequisites: A. The proposed use is reasonable. Be It would be unreasonable to require conformance with the ordinance, practical difficulties may arise due to "functional and aesthetic concerns" and economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulty. Ce The difficulty of conforming to the ordinance is due to circumstances unique to the property, such as peculiar topography. If the problem is common to a number of properties in the area, it is not considered unique. AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Mr. Jon Sutherland June 24, 1995 Page 2 D. The problem must not be created by the landowner. The variance or conditional use permit, if granted, must not alter the essential character of the locality.

PLANNING REPORT TO: Mound Planning Commission and Staff FROM: Mark Koegler, City Planner DATE: July 18, 1995 SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit and Variances - Norwest Bank APPLICANT: Mark A. Saliterman CASE NUMBER: 95-19 HKG FILE NUMBER: 95-5g LOCATION: 5229 - 5271 Shoreline Boulevard and 2330 Wilshire Boulevard EXISTING ZONING: Central Business District (B-1) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Commercial BACKGROUND: Mr. Saliterman is seeking approval of a conditional use permit and the issuance of variances to allow construction of a new free-standing Norwest Bank building in the parking lot area of Shoreline Plaza, next to Hardees Restaurant. The proposed bank will contain approximately 3,600 square feet and will have a drive-in facility that includes 4 teller lanes and 1 ATM lane. The teller lanes will be accessed from the west, from the existing Shoreline Plaza parking lot and traffic will loop around the building and exit to the west near an existing driveway curb cut along County Road 15. The proposed bank will replace Norwest's present location in downtown Mound. In order to construct the new bank, the City of Mound will need to approve a conditional use permit prompted by the inclusion of the drive-in portion of the subject proposal, and the City will need to address requested variances involving parking space count and space size, sign placement, impervious cover, and distance between drive-in facilities and residential uses. COMMENT: Approval of a conditional use permit involves submittal and review of a site plan and at the discretion of the City Administrator, also a grading plan, drainage plan, lighting plan and landscaping plan. A detailed site plan has been received as part of this application. Additionally, staff has met with the applicant and discussed issues and concerns pertaining to grading, drainage and Land Use / Environmental · Planning/Design 7300 Metro Boulevard / Suite 525 · Minneapolis, Minnesota 55439 · (612) 835-9960 · Fax: (612) 835-3160 Norwest Bank CUP and Variances July 18, 1995 Page 2 landscaping. If the subject proposal is approved, it is the opinion of staff that issues pertaining to grading, drainage and landscaping are largely of a technical nature and can be worked out between City staff and the applicant. Significant technical issues will be highlighted in this report as part of the review and discussion of the required conditional use permit and variances. Mound's Zoning Code requires the issuance of a conditional use permit for any type of drive-in business operation. The standards applied to such uses are listed in Section 350:775, Drive-in Business Development Standards. Several requirements of this section need to be noted in this case. Subdivision 1 requires submittal of a drainage plan for approval by the city engineer. Subdivision 7 requires lighting to be designed "so as to have no direct source of light visible from the public right- of-way or adjacent land in residential use." The applicant can comply with both of these provisions and can demonstrate compliance with appropriate plan submittals. Section 350:775 Subd. 5 (E) states, "Electronic devices such as loudspeakers, automobile service order devices, drive-in theater car speakers and similar instruments shall not be located within four hundred (400) feet of any residentially zoned or used property, nor within two hundred (200) feet of any adjacent lot regardless of the principal structure." The proposed Norwest Bank drive-in facility lies approximately 300 feet from the existing townhouses along the south side of Eden Road and 40 feet from the Hardees property line. Although the Eden Road townhome units are located in the business district, the 400' setback provision applies to all residential uses, therefore, a 100 foot variance from the drive-in setback provisions will need to be granted as well as a 160' variance for the property line setback. Hardees Restaurant has a drive-in window that has operated for a number of years without complaints from nearby residents. The Mound Zoning Code also regulates parking. Since the proposed bank will displace parking presently available for the shopping center, parking for the entire center needs to be considered as part of the review of this request. Shoreline Plaza presently consists of two separate buildings with the proposed Norwest Bank occupying a third structure. Application of Mound's parking provisions results in the following parking requirements: Rite Away Oil Change Retail Center Norwest Bank 10 spaces (2 + 4 per bay) 190 spaces (1 per 150 sq. ft.) 9 spaces (1 per 400 sq. fi.) Total Required Parking 209 spaces The site plan submitted with the Norwest Bank CUP application identifies a total of 176 parking spaces which is approximately 84% of the required parking amount. By comparison, Commerce Place received a variance to provide 76% of the parking that is required by City Code (240 spaces vs. 182 spaces provided). Another comparative measure is the standard that is commonly employed by supermarkets and other larger retail uses who typically require a minimum of 5 parking spaces per Norwest Bank CUP and Variances July 18, 1995 Page 3 1,000 square feet of retail building space. If the 1 per 5 standard was applied to the retail portion of this project, the total shopping center parking requirement would be 161 spaces rather than 209 spaces. The present mix of uses in the Shoreline Plaza shopping center can probably be reasonably serviced by 176 parking spaces. Existing uses such as the print shop and Dominos Pizza have very low parking requirements. The Mound Liquor Store's parking needs are oriented more towards readily available, quick turn-over parking rather than a significant quantity of longer term spaces. As a result, staff's concern pertaining to parking is focused more on future uses rather than current businesses. If the center becomes occupied in the future by more "pure" retail uses, the need for additional parking may become a factor. If a parking shortage occurs in the future, how can it be handled? One method of addressing this situation would be to re-stripe the 90 degree spaces in front of the existing grocery store. An angled configuration or a 90 degree parking configuration with narrower drive aisles could supply more parking. Another alternative in the future may be the removal of the old service station that currently houses Rite Away Oil Change. As was mentioned earlier in this report, the Norwest Bank proposal raises a number of technical issues that need to be addressed through a modification of the submitted site plan as well as through submission of additional, detailed plans covering grading, drainage, lighting and landscaping. A suggested modification of the existing site plan involves an expansion of the existing drive aisle that serves as the entrance to the bank's drive-in area and an expansion of all concrete median areas around the bank. The proposed drive aisle entrance at the drive-in bank is 18 feet wide. Although this dimension will allow movement of two vehicles, it is not a "comfortable" minimum. The drive aisle in this location should have a minimum width of 20 feet. Additionally, the concrete median area that surrounds the bank on the south and east sides is shown at 3 feet in width. For safety reasons, the minimum dimension of the median in these areas should be 4 feet. Expansion of the drive-in banking entrance and the expansion of the median witdth will require a reconfiguration of the proposed new parking lot on the east side of the existing grocery store. Expanding the drive aisle and median may also result in the loss of two parking stalls in this area. The site plan also shows a connection between the shopping center and the Hardees Restaurant that lies immediately to the east. In a letter from the applicant dated July 5, 1995, it is indicated that the connection has been removed from the plan. Although it is usually advisable to connect adjacent commercial buildings, the connection is virtually impossible in this case due staff's suggested expansion of the drive-in bank entrance and concrete island, because of circulation needs within the shopping center and because of the bank's need for the drive-in facilities that are shown. The current plan does not identify a shared entrance with Hardees in the northeast corner of the site. This area presently contains a retaining wall and catch basin that collects water from both Hardees Norwest Bank CUP and Variances July 18, 1995 Page 4 and Shoreline Plaza. The site plan prepared by Boarman Kroos Pfister Rudin & Associates does not contain sufficient detail in this area to assess grading and drainage. Detail including proposed contours and spot elevations as well as a drainage plan including drainage calculations for the entire contributing area will need to be prepared by the applicant and reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. The proposed parking configuration does not match existing curb cuts. This situation is most evident along Eden Road in the southwest corner of the site. The applicant will need to modify the circulation in these areas to provide adequate drive aisle widths for two-way vehicle movement. The Mound Zoning Code limits the amount of impervious cover in commercial areas. In this particular case, most of the new improvements will occur in an area that is already covered with bituminous paving, however, parking will be expanded into the undeveloped area immediately east of the grocery store. As a result, the project will need to receive a variance from the impervious cover restrictions contained in the Mound Zoning Code. The variance will need to allow approximately 98% impervious cover of the site. Although the applicant will need to submit impervious cover calculations, it appears that the existing site has coverage of approximately 88%. The site plan identifies locations for two pylon signs along the County Road 15 frontage. The existing shopping center sign is to be relocated to a parking lot island area and a new free standing pylon sign for Norwest Banks is proposed. The letter dated July 5, 1995 differs from the site plan in that it requests that the proposed shopping center sign be placed adjacent to the road right-of-way in a location that is similar to the Hardees sign which is probably non-conforming. Any location less than 10 feet from the road right-of-way will require a sign variance. Furthermore, the Mound Sign Ordinance allows one freestanding sign per street frontage. Since Shoreline Plaza has frontage on two streets, it is allowed a total of two such signs. Placement of both signs along the same street frontage, however, requires a variance. In this particular case, the property has an extended frontage along County Road 15 and adequate space exists to accommodate the proposed Norwest sign in addition to the relocated shopping center sign along the same street frontage. Since the applicant has not provided any further details on proposed signage, it is assumed that the signs will conform to the City's height, area and placement criteria. RECOMMENDATION: Norwest Bank is an important element of Mound's business community. City staff has been working with Norwest over the past two years to keep the business in Mound by finding a site which meets their requirements. The Shoreline Plaza site and the proposal by Mark Saliterman is workable despite the need to resolve a series of minor technical issues. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve the conditional use permit and variances pertaining to parking, impervious cover, the placement of two freestanding signs along 1 street frontage, and the electronic devices setback for Norwest Bank subject to the following conditions: Norwest Bank CUP and Variances July 18, 1995 Page 5 The applicant shall prepare the following plans for review and approval by the City Engineer and City Planner: Modified Site Plan - The plan shall contain a revised layout that depicts the expansion of the bank drive-in entrance aisle, the expansion of the concrete islands and the resulting modification of the new parking lot east of the existing grocery store.

The plan shall also identify storm sewer modifications and improvements and include a copy of all stormwater calculations. Erosion control measures shall also be included.

FOOTNOTE: After this report was written, staff received a letter dated July 18, 1995 from BKPR (Norwest's architect) outlining site drainange and landscaping. The information provided on drainage /I Norwest Bank CUP and Variances July 18, 1995 Page 6 is simply a concept statement of what will presumably be developed into the grading and drainage plan which will be reviewed by the City Engineer. The landscaping statement identifies only that anticipated improvements will be in the amount of $1,000.00. The proposed landscaping budget is inadequate to meet the City's landscaping requirements.

MEMORANDUM TO: Mound City Council and Staff FROM: Mark Koegler, City Planner DATE: August 3, 1995 SUBJECT: St. John's Parking Lot - Tree Preservation Policy The City of Mound has had a tree preservation policy as a component of its Zoning Ordinance for a number of years. The purpose of the policy is to "preserve wooded areas throughout the City and with respect to future site development, to retain, as far as practicable, substantial existing tree cover." During the Planning Commission's review of the St. John's Church parking lot conditional use permit, the issues of tree preservation and the application of the policy to the proposed development were raised. As proposed, the church parking lot will require the removal of a substantial amount of existing tree cover. Removal of existing trees is not precluded by the Tree Preservation Policy. The ordinance does, however, contain a number of tests that need to be satisfied. The most significant of the tests is the requirement that "it is the duty of the person seeking the permit to demonstrate that there are no feasible or prudent alternatives to the cutting of trees on the site." At the Planning Commission meeting, representatives of the church stated that they conducted a three year study of their parking needs and potential solutions and that the current proposal emerged as the most viable option. Therefore, it can be reasonab!v concluded that they have addressed the issue of feasible alternatives. One of the conditions placed on the approval by the Planning Commission calls for the applicant to submit a landscaping plan for review and approval by staff.

PUBLIC HEARING. Building Official, Jon Sutherland, reviewed the City Planners Report. BACKGROUND: St. John's Lutheran Church is seeking conditional use permit approval to expand parking serving the existing church. The proposal involves the construction of one new parking lot and the expansion of an existing lot. The new construction will actually occur on property owned by Independent School District #277 (Shirley Hills School) and it will be used by both the school and the church. An agreement between the two parties covering the parking area either is in place or soon will be. The expansion of the existing parking lot will occur on church property, southeast of the existing building. The primary issues raised by this proposal are related to engineering including grading and drainage. Engineering issues are being addressed by the City Engineer under a separate report. Planning issues are focused on the issuance of the conditional use permit and the issuance of required variances. Both schools and churches are conditional uses in the residential zones. Accordingly, expansion of the church's parking facilities requires the issuance of a permit. Mound's Zoning Ordinance addresses parking under Section 350:760. That section allows parking serving a principal use to be off-site providing it is controlled either by "deed or long-term lease." In this case, it is staff's understanding that the church will lease the property from the school district and the school will have use of the facility during off-peak church hours. Mound's ordinance also requires all new parking lots to have either concrete or bituminous surfacing and concrete curb. Both proposed parking lots comply with this requirement. 4 /l St, John's, p, 2 of 3 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 1995 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of a conditional use permit for St. John's Church to construct a new parking lot and expand an existing parking lot and hereby approves a parking space width variance of one foot subject to the following conditions: 1. A copy of the lease agreement between the school district and St. John's Church shall be submitted to the City prior to release of the final conditional use permit resolution. 2. The applicant shall submit a landscaping plan for review and approval by City staff. Said plan shall be approved prior to construction. 3. The applicant shall prepare and submit impervious cover calculations for the two lots that contain the proposed parking lot expansion. 4. The project shall comply with all applicable codes and permit requirements. In addition, City Engineer, John Cameron, recommended approval subject to the following conditions: 1. Furnish stormwater calculations for the easterly parking lot which may require revisions to the curb openings and/or erosion control. 2. Connect the concrete curb of the proposed westerly parking lot to the curb radius of the entrances from Maywood Road. 3. The grading, drainage and erosion control plans to be approved by the MCWD. 4. Construction of all improvements shall be in conformance with all local, state and federal ordinance and permit requirements. Representing the applicant were Michael Cox of Wold Architects and Bob Bonnema of the St. John's Building Committee. Mr. Bonnema stated that St. John's is in need of more parking and they have worked out an agreement with the School for this proposal. The agreement will expire in one year if the parking lot is not constructed. Mueller stated that the proposed parking lot is an inappropriate use of wooded land and he questioned the application of Mound's Tree Preservation Policy to this case, the City Planner did not address this section of the Zoning Ordinance. Mueller noted that there is plenty of optional parking available in the area, such as the GTE parking lot across the street. Chair Michael confirmed that staff will ask the City Planner to address this issue. Mr. Bonnema stated that they can try to save some of the trees. Mueller commented that recently a number of large, very nice trees were unnecessarily removed from the church property, and now they want to remove more. Weiland believes that this is a good plan for the church and school to work together on establishing and sharing this parking lot. Weiland suggested that the church could plant some trees to replace some of those which will be removed. St, John's, p, 3 3 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 1995 Surko questioned if other parking alternatives were considered. Michael Cox explained that after a three year study, this is the solution they found. Cox noted that it would be difficult for elders and children to cross an icy street, and this location was the best due to topography. They are planning to provide some landscaping and to plant trees along the boarder of the parking lot. Michael commented that it would be nice to see a landscape plan. Surko feels that the proposed location is good for both the church and school as it is contiguous to both, and it will enable better use by the elders and children. Bonnema stated that the church will be maintaining the parking lot and plan to use a skimmer system in the winter. MOTION made by Surko, seconded by Weiland, to recommend approval of the conditional use permit to allow a parking lot expansion, as recommended by staff. It is also recommended that the City Planner address the Tree Preservation Policy and its relation to this request, prior to hearing by the City Council. Motion carried 5 to 1. Those in favor were: Surko, Weiland, Michael, Glister, and Hanus. Mueller was opposed. Mueller commented that he opposed because there was no landscape plan, the City Planner did not acknowledge the Tree Preservation Policy, and there are no hardships or findings of fact for approval. This case will be heard by the City Council on August 8, 1995. Hoisington Koegler Group Inc.

Mound's ordinance also requires all new parking lots to have either concrete or bituminous surfacing and concrete curb. Both proposed parking lots comply with this requirement. The only remaining planning issues are related to parking space size, landscaPing requirements and kinerVious cover restrictions. g Space Size: The Mound Zoning Code requires off-street parking spaces to have a minimum nsion of 10 feet by 20 feet. The proposed parking stalls are 9 feet by 20 feet resulting in a one space width variance. In the past, the City has typically allowed off-street parking variances to blish spaces with a minimum size of 9 feet by 18 feet. Landscaping: A landscaping plan was not submitted as part of the conditional use permit application. The applicant will need to prepare a landscaping plan and submit it for staff review and approval. Impervious Cover Restrictions: The Mound Zoning Code limits lots to a total impervious cover limitation of 30%. The new parking lot is not within the shoreland zone and therefore, is not subject to this provision. The expansion of the existing lot is within the shoreland zone so it is subject to the impervious cover limitation. It appears that the total hard surface area is approximately 23% which is under the 30% threshold. RECOMMENDATION: Staffrecornmends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of a conditional use permit for St. John's Church to construct a new parking lot and expand an existing parking lot and hereby approves a parking space width variance of one foot subject to the following conditions: A cop3, c~f the lease agreement between the school district and St. John's Church shall be submitted to the City prior to release of the final conditional use permit resolution.

St. John's Lutheran Church 95-30 MFRA #10961 BACKGROUND: St. John's Lutheran Church is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow construction of a new parking lot on the Shirley Hills Elementary School property and minor expansion of the existing lot on the church property, southeasterly of the building. The new parking lot is proposed to be constructed between and connected to both the church and school's existing parking lots. COMMENTS: A grading, drainage and erosion control plan along with drainage calculations for the new westerly lot have been furnished for review. These same items have been submitted to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD). This same plan includes grading and erosion control for the reconstruction of the existing parking area east of the building. No drainage calculations were provided for this area. The westerly lot is designed to drain into a temporary retention pond and then to the City's existing storm sewer system in Maywood Road. This retention pond would be dry except immediately after rains. A portion of the side slope for the proposed pond is located within the right-of-way for Maywood Road which is a designated Municipal State Aid (MSA) street. The improved width of Maywood Road is presently 36' face of curb to face of curb. Minimum standards for a 2 lane, low density MSA collector street with parking on both sides requires 38'. An Equal Opportunity Employer ~ ~'~ ~ Mound Planning Commission and Staff July 18, 1995 Page 2 Therefore, if this street were to be reconstructed with MSA funds, it would need to be widened by 2 feet. The existing right-of-way for Maywood Road is 66 feet, whereas the minimum MSA requirement is only 60 feet. It appears the pond could be constructed as shown and still allow for future reconstruction of Maywood Road. The maintenance of the skimmer structure and the pond should remain the responsibility of the applicants, not the City. The proposed concrete curb and gutter along the north side is shown as ending at the edge of the existing bituminous on both the school's and church's lot. This curb should be continued north to the City street and connected to the existing curb at the two entrances. This may require curb openings to allow runoff from the existing lots to enter the pond. The proposed reconstruction of the easterly parking lot will increase the hard cover of the bituminous by approximately 30% from 8,300 S.F. to 10,800 S.F., and includes concrete curb and gutter. Two curb openings are shown as discharge points for runoff from the reconstructed lot. Drainage calculations have not been provided for this area; therefore a review cannot be completed to determine if the two curb openings and rip-rap are sufficient. RECOMMENDATIONS: The proposed parking lot construction appears to be a viable project with some minor alterations; therefore, we recommend approval subject to the following conditions: e Furnish stormwater calculations for the easterly parking lot which may require revisions to the curb openings and/or erosion control. Connect the concrete curb of the proposed westerly parking lot to the curb radius of the entrances from Maywood Road. The grading, drainage and erosion control plans to be approved by the MCWD. Construction of all improvements shall be in conformance with all local, state and federal ordinance and permit requirements. p: ms: 10961/memoT-19 A0¢ieation for CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT City of Mound 5 3 41 Maywood Road, Mound, MN 5 5 3 6 4 Phone: 472-0600, Fax: 472-0620 s.s..o, qS- O Conditional Use Permit Fee:. $200.00 Distribution: City Planner: ~' I'~-~ City Engineer: ,, Public Works: ~t Other: Please type or print the following information: INFORMATION LEaAL Lot~-----~:~ /¥'[T',;~,~c> '~'~ Block Plats DESCRIPTION APPUCANT The applicant is: __owner ~ other: I OWNER epplican~}~- ASCH~ECT, SURV~OR.

CONDITIONAL US~ PERMIT - MINOR AUTO REPAIR & OPEN SALES LOT. PUBLIC HE~RING. City Planner, Mark Koegler, reviewed the staff report. Since 1969, this property has received 9 different conditional use permits, cumulatively accounting for all of the allowed uses on the parcel. The basis of the original permit approval is the site's use as a motor fuel station. During the past year, the principal use has changed from a motor fuel station to a minor auto repair facility and open sales lot. The location of the site is at the entrance to the City of Mound and across the street from the community sign making this business visibly prominent. Staff suggested that both functional and aesthetic factors be applied when reviewing the proposed change in use of this site. The applicant's proposal involves using the subject site for the following purposes. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Minor Auto Repair Tire Repair Valve Jobs Service Maintenance on Vehicles Gas Welding Open Sales Lot (Total number of vehicles not to exceed 10) Ail of the proposed uses are currently allowed on the site. Uses no longer being required are "motor fuel station" and "sales of small miscellaneous fishing tackle and live bait. In the case of motor fuel stations, vehicle repairs have been a secondary rather than primary use. The change from the principal business activity being a motor fuel station to the principal activity being a minor auto repair facility will increase the potential number of vehicles to be parked on the site for longer periods of time. This raises the questions of possibly limiting the total number of vehicles allowed to be parked on the site. The proposed uses are currently allowable on the site and the permit modification is being completed in order to bring the principal business activity on the property in line with the permit. Staff recommended that the Planning Commission recommend the City Council approve a conditional use permit for a "minor auto repair facility" replacing all previous permits and specifically allowing the following: Planning Commission Minutes July 10, 1995 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Minor Auto Repair Tire Repair Valve Jobs Service Maintenance on Vehicles Gas Welding Open Sales Lot, limited to a total of 10 vehicles on- site, three (3) of which can be on the north side of the site and seven (7) of which may be behind the fence area.

This conditional use permit shall be reviewed annually. Planning Commission Minutes July 10, 1995 It was questioned if a valve job is considered a major overhaul. Surko questioned the definition of a major overhaul. Clapsaddle questioned what are the negatives of allowing major overhauls. Chair Michael opened the public hearing. Jim Bedell stated that he is in favor of the proposal. Steve Bedell stated that he is also in favor and that he prefers to see the building occupied. Phil Hasch stated that the property is clean now and they do not want to see the property sit vacant. Robert Williams, owner of the property, stressed to the Commission that he is financially committed to the property and he want to make money because the taxes on the property are $6,000.00. He has been in the automobile business for 41 years and would like to see this property become a used car lot. He received an estimate of $30,000 to remove the gas pumps from the property, which is something he would like to do. He would like to find a way to make this property work. He wants the place to look nice. He would be willing to come back with a revised plan to make this property a used car lot. The Building Official would not sign their license for automobile sales until this conditional use permit was modified. John Fitzgerald, representing the Vern Jensen estate, stated that a used car lot will not up-grade the value of the surrounding land, and he objects to the proposal. Chair Michael closed the public hearing. Clapsaddle commented that there is nothing inherently undesirable about a used car lot, if it is properly designed. Mr. Williams commented that he would like to amend their request tonight, if possible. City Planner, Mark Koegler, stated that the public hearing notices would have to be revised to indicate that the primary use of the property would be an open sales lot. The applicant confirmed that they are not selling fuel. MOTION made by Mueller, seconded by Voss, to recommend approval of the conditional use permit, as recommended by staff, including the following conditions, as amended: All signage on the property, including signs painted on windows, shall comply with the Mound Sign Ordinance. No signage shall be placed on any fencing. Planning Commission Minutes July 10, 1995 10. 11.

This conditional use permit shall be reviewed annually. Planning Commission July I0, 1995 Koegler reviewed the definition of "Automobile Repair, Major" as written within the Zoning Ordinance. It was noted that this conditional use permit would specifically allow "valve jobs." eventhough it may be considered major auto repair. MOTION carried unanimously. This case will be heard by the City Council on August 8, 1995. 10 Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. PLANNING REPORT TO: Mound Planning Commission and Staff FROM: Mark Koegler, City Planner DATE: June 29, 1995 SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit APPLICANT: Robert Schumack CASE NUMBER: 95-28 HKG FILE NUMBER: 95-5i LOCATION: 4831 Shoreline Drive (Shoreline Automotive) EXISTING ZONING: General Business (B-2) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Commercial BACKGROUND: Since 1969, the subject property in this case has received 9 different conditional use permits, cumulatively accounting for all of the allowed uses on the parcel. The basis of the original permit approval is the site's use as a motor fuel station. Over the years, various owners added other uses depending on their interests and market conditions at the time. During the past year, the principal use changed fi.om a motor fuel station to a minor auto repair facility and open sales lot. Accordingly, the applicant has applied for a conditional use permit reflective of this change in use. COMMENT: During the review of conditional use permits for this property over the past 10 years, the location of the property has played a key role all discussions. The location of the site at the entrance to the City of Mound and across the street fi.om the community sign makes this business visibly prominent. As a result, past reviews have focussed on proposed uses as well as the functional, visual and aesthetic impacts of such uses. Staff suggests that both functional and aesthetic factors be again applied to review of the proposed change in use of this site. 7300 Metro Boulevard / Suite 525 Land Use / Environmental · Planning / Design · Minneapolis, Minnesota 55439 · (612) 835-9960 · Fax: (612) 835-3160 Shoreline Automotive Conditional Use Permit June 29, 1995 Page 2 The aPi~licant's proposal involves using the subject site for the following purpgse~: 2. Tire Repair y.~,- ~,~,~c~ / 3. Valve Jobs ~[ 4. Service Maintenance on Vehicles 5. Gas Welding 6. Open Sales Lot (Total number of vehicles not to exceed 10) All of the proposed uses are currently allowed on the site. Uses no longer being required are motor fuel station and sales of small miscellaneous fishing tackle and live bait. It is staff's understanding that the principal aspect of the business will be the repair of vehicles for either 1) private customers, 2) for other vehicle dealerships or 3) for vehicles acquired and offered for sale on the premises. The principal customer base of a motor fuel station is transient. Individuals purchase gasoline and small convenience items and are typically on-site for no more than 5 minutes. In the case of motor fuel stations, vehicle repairs have been a secondary rather than primary use. The duration of parking at a use that is principally a vehicle repair facility is significantly different, particularly if the repair is not being done for a private individual who usually wants to be without the vehicle for the shortest possible time. The change from the principal business activity being a motor fuel station to the principal activity being a minor auto repair facility will increase the potential number of vehicles to be parked on the site for longer periods of time. This raises the question of possibly limiting the total number of vehicles allowed to be parked on the site. RECOMMENDATION: As was mentioned earlier, the proposed uses are currently allowable on the site and the permit modification is being completed in order to bring the principal business activity on the property in line with the permit. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve a conditional use permit for a minor auto repair facility replacing all previous permits and specifically allowing the following: 3. 4. 5. Minor Auto Repair Tire Repair Valve Jobs Service Maintenance on Vehicles Gas Welding Open Sales Lot, limited to a total of 10 vehicles on-site, three (3) of which can be on the north side of the site and seven (7) of which may be behind the fenced area.

We have determined that you are not in conformance with the existing CUP for the subject property, and I cannot sign your request for zoning approval for an automobile sales operation at this time. As I stated in my last letter of May 5, 1995, the primary use allowed by the existing CUP, Resolution #93-40, is a motor fuel station associated with minor auto repairs. This CUP was issued to a Mr. Patrick Andre of Freedom Oil Co., it allowed the sale of a specific number of used cars as a secondary use on the property, the primary use was a motor fuel station. A motor fuel station has a number of associated uses that were also listed within the CUP. Motor fuel stations and auto repair shops are both conditional uses within the B-2 General Business Zoning District, this means they may be allowed with certain conditions and one must apply for a CUP to operate this type of business. You currently operate an automobile repair shop, and you are seeking to gain approval to operate an open sales lot. This operation is no longer consistent with what is permitted or contemplated by the current CUP. The impact of your business is significantly different than the previous use of the property. The nature of the business has changed, and the impact of your current use falls outside the parameters of the CUP. pr~nle~l on recycled paf3er Mr. Robert Schumack 4831 Shore#ne Drive June 15, 1996 Page 2 City staff would like to work with you to accommodate your business, and request that you submit the enclosed CUP application. In our previous discussions it was my understanding you intended to submit a CUP application as soon as possible, however you missed the deadline because the information you needed to assemble was not ready. For your reference, I have included a full history of the CUP's issued for this property, and also another CUP application for your use. Please note the next application deadline is June 22, 1995. In the event an application is not received, staff will request that the City Manager put theissue on the following City Council agenda in order to address your nonconforming business operation, and staff will suggest that enforcement action be taken. You must operate within the parameters of the existing CUP until such date that a new CUP is approved by the City Council. I would be happy to meet with you to go over the application or discuss any questions you may have. Thank you for your time and efforts in working with me on this issue.

The primary use allowed by the CUP is a motor fuel station associated with minor auto repairs that are typical with that type of use. There are other regulations that are outlined within the CUP that you are not in conformance with. It appears that the principal use of the property as a traditional fuel station has changed. During a recent site inspection, I found that the gas pumps were not accessible, and you confirmed they are no longer in service. You further stated that you are repairing cars for your business of used auto sales. The principal use now resembles an open sales lot. I have included a copy of the CUP (Resolution #93-40) for your reference and also a CUP application for you to submit as soon as possible. You must operate within the existing CUP until such date that a new application is processed by the City Council. I would be happy to meet with you to go over the application or discuss how you can gain temporary compliance. You are allowed no more than ten (1 0) cars for sale, and no more than three (3) cars may be parked in the location as noted on the site plan (Exhibit A to the Resolution). A majority of the cars parked on the lot during my inspection were related to your used car business, and there were 20 plus cars on the site at that time. You must reduce the number of cars on the site to be in compliance. 4831Shore/ine Drive May 5, 1995 Page 2 I am unable to sign your dealer license at this time until you are in conformance, or.a modified CUP is approved by the Council.

The Planning Commission found that the variance to utilize the existing sign base is consistent with section 23.506.1 of the Mound Code of Ordinances. In reaching this conclusion, the Commission considered the following factors: 1) property was taken to accommodate intersection construction, 2) that the pole has been used historically for free standing signs and it does not obstruct vision for vehicle operators, and 3) there is an inordinately large amount of green space between the sign and the adjacent traveled right of way.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - STORAGE BUILDING· PUBLIC N~a~ING. Building Official, Jon Sutherland, reviewed the Planning Report. The Mound Fire Department is proposing to add a 16' x 20' storage building addition to the existing well house behind the fire station. Local Government Buildings require a conditional use permit in the R-1 zone. The existing well house building is in a location that is screened from public view because of existing vegetation and due to its location in the rear of the fire station. As a result, the addition should not pose any negative impact to the surrounding residential properties nor should it have any impact on City Hall. The technical aspects of the proposed building expansion can be addressed at the time of building permit issuance. Therefore, it is recommended that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve a conditional use permit for the Mound Fire Department to construct an addition to the existing well house subject to the following conditions: In order to properly address design and code issues pertaining to the addition of a storage building to the existing well house, building permit plans shall be prepared by an Architect registered in the State of Minnesota. The materials and appearance of the proposed storage building addition shall match the existing structure. The structure shall be completed in conformance with all building, fire and health code requirements. Drainage plans shall be reviewed and approved by the Utility Superintendent and City Engineer. Mueller questioned if a variance should be required for the building materials. Chair Michael opened the public hearing. There being no persons present to speak on the issue, Chair Michael closed the public hearing. MOTION made by Clapsaddle, seconded by Mueller, to recommend approval of the conditional use permit, as recommended by staff, with conditions. Staff shall verify prior to the City Council meeting if a variance should be required for the building materials. Motion carried unanimously. This request will be heard by the City Council on August 8, 1995. Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. mill /ti PLANNING REPORT TO: Mound Planning Commission and Staff FROM: Mark Koegler, City Planner DATE: June 29, 1995 SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit - Storage Building Addition APPLICANT: Lyckholm Construction (Mound Fire Department - Steve Erickson) CASE NUMBER: 95-23 HKG FILE NUMBER: 95-5h LOCATION: 2415 Wilshire Boulevard (Mound Fire Station) EXISTING ZONING: Single Family (R-1) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Residential (Public Building) BACKGROUND: The Mound Fire Department is proposing to add a 16' x 20' storage building addition to the existing well house behind the fire station. Local Government Buildings are conditional uses in the R-1 zone. Therefore, approval of the new storage facility will involve approval of a new conditional use permit for the property. COMMENT: The existing well house building is in a location that is screened from public view because of existing vegetation and due to its location at the rear of the fire station. As a result, the addition should not pose any negative impact to the surrounding residential properties nor should it have any irapact on the city hall building. Although the addition fits well in its proposed location, the building plans submitted with the conditional use permit application are inadequate for building permit issuance and leave a number of technical questions unanswered. For example, the plans do not identify either existing or proposed grades nor do they identify the type of roof drainage system to be used. According to the floor plan that was submitted, the addition of the storage building will require modification of the existing well house building, yet the plan does not identify the full scope of such modifications. These technical issues can be addressed with subsequent plan submittals. Land Use / Environmental · Planning / Design '~.~-'7 '~ 7300 Metro Boulevard / Suite 525 ' Minneapolis, Minnesota 55439 · (612) 835-9960 · Fax: (612) 835-3160 Fire Station Storage Building Conditional Use Permit June 29, 1995 Page 2 The Mound Zoning Code regulates appropriate building materials for commercial and industrial structures. The building materials provisions do not specifically apply to public buildings. Despite this fact, staff would suggest that in all cases, the City should hold itself to the same standards that apply to private commercial and industrial facilities. In this case, however, since the project involves an addition to an existing building, it is suggested that concrete block painted to match the existing structure is an acceptable material, particularly since the building is largely hidden from public view. RECOMMENDATION: The technical aspects of the proposed building expansion can be addressed at the time of building permit issuance as a part of appropriate plans prepared by qualified professionals. Therefore, it is recommended that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve a conditional use permit for the Mound Fire Department to construct an addition to the existing well house subject to the following conditions: In order to properly address design and code issues pertaining to the addition of a storage building to the existing well house, building permit plans shall be prepared by an Architect registered in the State of Minnesota. The materials and appearance of the proposed storage building addition shall match the existing structure. o The structure shall be completed in conformance with all building, fire and health code requirements. Drainage plans shall be reviewed and approved by the Utility Superintendent and City Engineer.

They are asking for formal acceptance of all the work performed by the utility and street contractor, Brown and Cris, except the bituminous wear course, which is yet to be installed. We are recommending the City accept only the utilities at this time. Because the wear course is an integral part of the total street construction we would suggest that formal acceptance of the streets be delayed until said construction is totally complete. The Engineers letter also requests a reduction in the amount of the letter of credit. Until such time a specific amount is indicated, we are unable to make any recommendation to the City regarding reduction of the letter of credit.

The ordinance and the supporting data has been referred to me for review. It is my opinion that it is in the best interests of the City to adopt the proposed model ordinance which is being proposed for all of the municipalities. The League of Cities indicates that adopting a uniform ordinance for most of the cities in Minnesota will create a comfortable environment in which the telecommunication companies can operate because they need not deal with disparate and sometimes conflicting local demands. I am enclosing herewith the ordinance which has been prepared and numbered to fit into our City Code. It is my recommendation that it be forwarded to the City Council with a recommendation for passage in accordance with the League memorandum of June 6, 1995. CAP:Ih Enclosure Sincerely, City Attorney ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE GOVERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, INSTALLATION, OPERATION, REPAIR, MAINTENANCE, REMOVAL, AND RELOCATION OF FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT USED FOR THE TRANSMISSION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS OR RELATED SERVICES IN THE PUBLIC GROUND OF THE CITY OF MOUND The City Council of the City of Mound Hereby Ordains: Section 617 is hereby added to the City Code and shall read as follows: Section 617 - Telecommunications Permit Section 617:00. Definitions. Subd. 1. The terms defined in this section have the meanings given them. Subd. 2. Company. A natural or corporate person, business association, political subdivision, public or private agency of any kind, its successors and assigns, who or which seeks or is required to construct, install, operate, repair, maintain, remove or relocate facilities in the City. Subd. 3. Director. The City Manager, or designated representative. Subd. 4. Facilities. Telecommunications equipment of any kind, including but not limited to audio, video, paging, facsimile or similar service, not governed by Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 238, including all trunks, lines, circuits, physical connections, switching equipment, wireless communication equipment of all kinds, and any necessary appurtenances owned, leased or operated by a company on, over, in, under, across or along public ground. Subd. 5. Public Ground. Highways, roads, streets, alleys, public ways, utility easements and public grounds in the City. Section 617:05. Permit Procedure. Subd. 1. Permit Required. A company may not construct, install, repair, remove or relocate facilities, or any part thereof, in, on, over, under or along public ground without first obtaining a permit from the City. Subd. 2. Application. Application for a permit is made to the director. Subd. 3. Issuance of Permit. If the director determines that the applicant has satisfied the requirements of this ordinance the director may issue a permit to the company. An applicant may contest a permit denial or the conditions of approval by written notice to the Clerk requesting a City Council review within fourteen (14) days of the director's action. The Council shall hear any contest of the director's actions under this ordinance within forty-five (45) days of the City Clerk's receipt of the contest notice. Nothing in this ordinance precludes the City from requiring a franchise agreement with the applicant, as allowed by law, in addition to the issuance of a permit set forth herein. Subd. 4. Permit Fee. The application must be accompanied by the permit fee set by the City Council by resolution. Subd. 5. Security for Completion of Work. Prior to commencement of work, the company must deposit with the City security in the form of certified check, letter of credit or construction bond, in a sufficient amount as determined by the director for the completion of the work. The securities will be held until the work is completed plus a period of 24 months thereafter to guarantee that restoration work has been satisfactorily completed. Upon application of the company, providing such information as the director may require, if two or more work projects are to be constructed during a calendar year, the director may accept, in lieu of separate security for each project, a single security for multiple projects in such form and amount as determined, in the discretion of the director, to be sufficient to assure completion of all projects which may be in progress at any one time during that calendar year and to guaranty that restoration work will be satisfactorily completed. The security will then be returned to the company with interest if required by law and then interest at the applicable statutory rate. Subd. 6. Inspection of Work. When the work is completed the company must request an inspection by the director. The director will determine if the work has been satisfactorily completed and provide the company with a written report of the inspection and approval. 2 Section 617:10. Restoration and Relocation. Subd.1. Restoration. Upon completion of the work, the company must restore the general area of the work, including paving and its foundations, to the same condition that existed prior to commencement of the work and must exercise reasonable care to maintain the same condition for two years thereafter. The work must be completed as promptly as weather permits. If the company does not promptly perform and complete the work, remove all dirt, rubbish, equipment and material, and restore the public ground to the same condition, the City may put it in the same condition at the expense of the company. The company must, upon demand, pay to the City the direct and indirect cost of the work done for or performed by the City, including but not limited to the City's administrative costs. To recover its costs, the City will first draw on the security posted by the company and then recover the balance of the costs incurred from the company directly by written demand. This remedy is in addition to any other remedies available to the City. Subd. 2. Company Initiated Relocation. The company must give the City written notice prior to a company initiated relocation of facilities. A company initiated relocation must be at the company's expense and must be approved by the City, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Subd. 3. City Required Relocation. The company must promptly and at its own expense, with due regard for seasonal working conditions, permanently relocate its facilities whenever the City requires such relocation. Subd. 4. Relocation Where Public Ground Vacated. The vacation of public ground does not deprive the company of the right to operate and maintain its facilities in the City. If the vacation proceedings are initiated by the company, the company must pay the relocation costs. If the vacation proceedings are initiated by the City or other persons, the company must pay the relocation costs unless otherwise agreed to by the City, company and other persons. Section 617:15. Company Default. Subd. 1. Notice. If the company is in default in the performance of the work authorized by the permit, including but not limited to restoration requirements, for more than 30 days after receiving written notice from the City of the default, the City may terminate the rights of the company under the permit. 3 The notice of default must be in writing and specify the provisions of the permit under which the default is claimed and state the grounds of the claim. The notice must be served on the company by personally delivering it to an officer thereof at its principal place of business in Minnesota or by certified mail to that address. Subd. 2. CiW Action on Default. If the company is in default in the per- formance of the work authorized by the permit, the City may, after the above notice to the company and failure of the company to cure the default, take such action as may be reasonably necessary to abate the condition caused by the default. The company must reimburse the City for the City's reasonable costs, including costs of collection and attorney fees incurred as a result of the company default. The security posted under Section 617:05, Subd. 5 will be applied by the City first toward payment for such reimbursement. Section 617:20. Indemnification. Subd. 1. Scope. The company will indemnify, keep and hold the City, its elected officials, officers, employees, and agents free and harmless from any and all claims and actions on account of injury or death of persons or damage to property occasioned by the construction, installation, maintenance, repair, removal, relocation or operation of the facilities affecting public ground, unless such injury or damage is the result of the negligence of the City, its elected officials, employees, officers, or agents. The City will notify the company of claims or actions and provide a reasonable opportunity for the company to accept and undertake the defense. Subd. 2. Claim Defense. If a claim or action is brought against the City under circumstances where indemnification applies, the company, at its sole expense, shall defend the City if written notice of the claim or action is given to the company within a period wherein the company is not prejudiced in the defense of such claim or action by lack of such notice. If the company undertakes the defense, the company shall have complete control of such claim or action, but it may not settle without the consent of the City, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. This section is not, as to third parties, a waiver of any defense or immunity otherwise available to the City. In defending any action on behalf of the City, the company is entitled to assert every defense or immunity that the City could assert in its own behalf. 4 Section 617:25. Other Conditions of Use.

This last month we were able to obtain two tree trust/career start workers. These are youth who live in Mound and do manual labor such as litter pick up, push mowing and repair. Their wages are paid through the program with no cost to the City. Both youths have been very good workers and have only required minimal supervision. Work on Dundee Park has been minimal, with the installation of two benches. DOCKS Staff has been busy with the Commons Task Force. The dock inspector is already updating the 1996 applications that will be sent out at the end of the year. The docks program has been busy with the warm summer and high interest in boating. TREES Four trees were removed from City property along with one stump. There was only one call to a private property and that was already being removed as I inspected it. Weed notices are now being done through the Community Service Officers due to the fact that he has the authority to write a citation that requires immediate attention by the owner. Where as I have to send a certified letter that could take up to two weeks.

CITY OF MOUND 5341 MAYWOOD ROAD MOUND, MINNESOTA 55364-1687 (612) 472-0600 FAX (612) 472-0620 August 1, 1995 To: From: Re: Mayor, City Council and City Manager Joel Krumm, Liquor Store Manager July 1995 Monthly Report And the heat goes on. Again the unusually warm weather has produced yet another stellar month for us. Gross sales for the month were $157,356. Last year in July they were $151,287. That puts us at, for the first seven months of the year, at $862,852. Last year at this same point we were at $834,004. We are also approximately 1,000 customers ahead of last year. Credit card usage has picked up considerably this summer. For instance, in July, we had 307 transactions totaling $8,520, for an average of $27.75 per sale. Initially I had hoped to break the $25,000 barrier for credit card sales in the course of a year, particularly, in order to reduce the percentage rate the credit card company charges us. Currently to date we've had $33,574 in credit card sales. At this rate we will double my expectations and go over $50,000. One other matter of note which would be rather obvious to you if you use this shopping center or drive down Shoreline Blvd is that we had the facility painted last month. Yes, it remained the same creamy beige with blue trim as it was before. Nothing too exciting, but yet a new paint job always gives the impression of a clean appearance.

We finished on July 27th and it will be swept up by August 2nd. We put some granite on Three Points Boulevard, Grandview Boulevard, Moy's and Brickley's parking lot. Hopefully, this will make these roads and parking lots last a little longer than with the original buckshot that we put normally put on the side streets. Everything seemed to go well this time. We also did patching at main breaks and potholes. When the buckshot is all swept up we will finish the final coats on some of the patches and some pothole patching again. Also, possibly get started on some of the patching for next year's seal¢oat project. We also repaired some bent and down street signs, damaged by vandalism. WATER We have been working on the big meters for the businesses, these are compound heads and have both of the readings on them. We have had some problems getting both of the readings into the handheld unit and out of the computer. We have tried some things and we think its okay now. DJ has been busy with locates and traffic counts on the MSA streets. We have been working with John Cameron on this and should be through in August. SEWER We met with Tri State in regards to a few problems we have been having with the dialers on the lift station upgrades we did this year. Also, we did some warranty work on the pumps. There were some problems on who we were supposed to call first to have it done. A few dialers have been replaced and three more need to be replaced, printed on recycled paper along with some transducers. It's going good, we just need to fine tune them. MISCELLANEOUS I have given my budget to Ed for 1996. I will meet back with him for the line items hopefully sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Bill Alan Wdlc~ COMMONS TASK FORCE MINUTES OF A MEETING JULY 25, 1995 Vice-Chair Gordy Tulberg opened the meeting. New Task Force Member Michael Shearer was introduced. Task Force Members present were: Gordy Tulberg, Mike Shearer, Jim Funk, Rita Pederson, Dennis Hopkins, Marilyn Byrnes, Bev Botko, and Frank Ahrens. Rod Plaza and Mark Goldberg arrived late. Parks Director, Jim Fackler, was also present. 1. DISCUSSION: REVIEW RESULTS OF EXPLORATORY SURVEYS. At the last meeting, each task force member received a batch of surveys which were returned to the City. Each task force member was asked to summarize concerns mentioned within the surveys which they reviewed. BOTKO Abutters = 9 5 of them objected to having the responsibility of maintaining the commons, removing dock debris, paying a dock fee to do this, and it was suggested that abutters have a reduced fee for maintenance. 3 of them objected to high fees. 1 didn't like the fact that there was no privacy. 1 thought dock spacing was a problem. One statement from an abutter was quoted, "Concern that checking with the City on one issue will lead to a plethora of other problems." One suggested selling land to abutters. One wanted to know what the liabilities were if someone was on your dock and is injured. Commons 7'ask Force Minutes July 25, 1995 Nonabutters = 10 6 like it, pleased with what they have. 2 felt enforcement of the rules were not good, for example, if there is a problem they thought the dock holder should be contacted, ordered to correct it, billed, and if not corrected they should lose their privileges. I fees too high. 2 install permanent docks. 1 unimportant issues, City should be addressing other problems like the cross walk at the House of Moy. I questioned why there were specific regulations for stairways, etc., that as long as they are safe, what differences does it make if they are to-code. I lives across the street from a commons dock area and he can't get a dock. 1 Concerned about commons money used as a slush fund for the City and not used for commons maintenance. BYRNES Brighton Common North should be called Wychwood Beach down to Manchester). Wychwood Common (from About maintenance and open to the public, some people said trees are used as bathrooms. Loss of privacy. Traffic in front of house. City should clean up if they are trustees for it. Dock fees. Junk cars and trash. Dock program should be cost effective. Commons Task Force Minutes July 25, 1995 Commons are not parks. One had long letter about Three Points and the litigation going on there. HOPKINS Abutters = 9 4 unhappy 5 satisfied Nonabutters = 7 7 satisfied Unknown = 5 4 unhappy 5 satisfied Majority of people surveyed were happy, but were concerned about commons not being commons forever like they believe it should be. A lot of comments about spacing. One nonabutter suggested that he has made friends with an abutter. Most agreed that the dock program works very well and one mentioned that the Task Force is unfair and should have been established with 50% abutters and 50% nonabutters. PEDERSON There was an abutter that said, "it is June 30th and the City has still not mowed my commons." And nonabutter said, "1 think the City is doing a fine job on maintaining the commons." She believes there is some confusion. One nonabutter believed the commons should just be for people who own homes in the area, and not renters, it should be only for those people who pay taxes. Abutters - 10 All docks should be removed in the fall, and it should be more neatly done. Maintenance a big concerns, only a few who do it for everybody. Concerned about crime. Fishing contests without notification to citizens. Commons Task Force Minutes July 25, 1995 Want to be able to trim tree branches without calling the City. - Docks are too close together. - No noise after 10:00 p.m. - Permits to work on commons. - The City should enforce the ordinance we have now, but not create new ones. Raymond Richter stated that he has lived on the Woodland Point Commons since 1938 and he is happy with the commons. His three main concerns were: homeowner's privacy, fees are too high, and people are using their dock when there is an adjacent landing. Need better maintenance of commons property. Non-abutters: - Not comfortable going to dock. - Dock fees high. - Difficult for them to maintain shoreline. - Dock spaces to close. To summarize, the issues were dock spacing, dock fees, and privacy issues. FUNK Abutters = 9, nonabutters = 4, and others = 3. Basically same comments with concerns about privacy, maintenance, spacing, etc. There was one comment that encroachments should be grandfathered-in. There were several comments on abutters and nonabutters that they feel there is too much government regulation and they would rather see the program left alone than see more rules. Commons Task force Minutes July 25, 1995 SHEARER Total 17 survey replies with 9 satisfied, and 8 with questions and problems. One of the most interesting comments was a suggestion of the possibility of when licensing the permits if some courtesy guidelines could be spelled out like after-hours noise,. park hours, etc. TULBERG Did not receive any survey responses, however, took the initiative to check with 4 abutting owners in his neighborhood, and they did not seem to have many problems. Where they live it is a restrictive commons and he can see where the problems may differ from other areas. AHRENS He had 14 responses, two of which were duplicates, and out of those, 6 were abutters and 6 were nonabutters, and one was delivered to his mail box. Ahrens noted that he also looked at the entire set of surveys received, and basically what he found is that people tend to respond to the issues that were cited and concentrated on those and it was hard to tell in some cases if they were abutters or nonabutters. Nonabutters do not have any significant problems with the program, they want it to remain as is, but he did note a few nonabutting problems: Why do they need to provide a copy of their boat registration each year when it is on file from the previous year. There should be no dock fees for abutters. Abutters should always provide the maintenance. People trespassing on their docks, and it was suggested that the City use a stencil and paint "private dock," or something. Concern that land will be taken away. Concern about abutters raping the land by cutting/trimming trees. Ahrens determined there were 134 surveys received with responses, 67 abutters and 67 nonabutters. The Parks Director clarified that there are 180 abutters out of 447 dock sites, however, about 550 to 580 surveys were sent, including the commercial docks and shared dock holders Commons Task Force Minutes July 25, 1995 Ahrens feels that the Task Force already did a pretty good job identifying the issues out there. Abutters issues are: Dock spacing. Maintenance by abutters is not a major concern, but they do not like cleaning up other peoples trash. Concerns about dock fees. - Privacy. Dilapidated docks - appearance of Mound's shoreline. Ahrens proceeded to read some of the comments from the surveys. PLAZA Comments he reviewed included: People want to have a community dock system and dock fees could possible by raised to accommodate this system. One particular response was from Leonard Kopp which talked about how the different commons were deeded, and Plaza passed this around to the Task Force. People commented about how the Dock Inspector enforces ordinances. People were questioned why should abutters pay same taxes as private lakeshore owners. Privacy was a concern. People don't want dock fees to be used to subsidize other programs. Mr. Plaza stated that he found out this weekend that the big party boat that parks in front of his property is used for a charter service, it is rented out, and that is why he has so many problems. How the dock fund is utilized was discussed. Commons 7'ask t=orce Minutes July 25, 1995 Taxes were discussed. Tulberg questioned if it would be beneficial to have a County Assessor come speak to their group. Ahrens related how the County determines the taxes for commons versus private lakeshore properties. Ahrens commented that taxes are an issue because commons lakeshore properties are charged the same taxes and private lakeshore properties. Plaza continued to state some of the concerns he gathered from the surveys. Minimum dock spacing should be 35 to 40 feet. People trespassing on docks. People littering on the commons. Concern about how City maintains shoreline, riprap is bad and if abutting homeowner wants to do riprapping the permit process is very difficult. Other task force members noted that they also had comments about the riprapping. The Parks Director explained the purpose of riprapping. Ahrens commented that he would have preferred to have field stone riprap in front of his house. The task force discussed the possibility of establishing a multiple dock in order to eliminate nonabutting dock sites in front of other peoples houses abutting the commons. They talked about the City supplying and maintaining the dock. Hopkins noted that even if the commons docks are removed from the commons, the abutting owner would still not own the commons. Hopkins questioned if a street abutting the shore could be vacated. Byrnes commented that the City can vacate easements, but they cannot vacate commons. The Parks Director pointed out that commons have not been vacated because it has not been in the public's best interest to do so. Hopkins commented that he does not understand how, in front of Mark Hanus' property, a chunk can be vacated and there is still commons. Hopkins questioned if Hanus should not own the property all the way to the lake. Ahrens noted that docks are located on property other than commons, such as streets, fire lanes, and tax forfeited property. Ahrens does not believe that any platted "commons" have been vacated. Fackler stated that there was one area in the 1960's that was vacated on Fairview Lane on Harrison's Bay known as Lake Blvd., and this action is what jump started the City to protect these lands. Ahrens noted, that as a task force, one of their solutions is not to vacate commons and it should not be discussed. Commons Task Force Minutes July 25, 1995 Funk suggested that nonabutting commons docks should not be totally eliminated in front of abut~er's houses, but maybe if the spacing is increased, the number of docks lost could be relocated to a multiple dock. Goldberg suggested that encroachments also be addressed. He feels there needs to be a benefit analysis of how much the public is benefited by encroachments being removed versus the abutter harmed by that encroachment being removed. He thinks the City is operating now with the decision rule that if the encroachments makes the commons property look like private property it should be removed, and it seems like a slightly paranoid reason for removing encroachments. Ahrens agreed, and has a problem with the way the encroachments are being dealt with. Plaza noted that two Mound people asked him to raise an issue to the task force, and that is, why is there a share fee? It was their opinion that the dock holder should be allowed to share their dock if they want to, and why should the City receive an extra fee? Ahrens commented that in some areas it has to be regulated who can use the dock. Shearer and Hopkins were excused from the meeting. Goldberg summarized that at the next meeting they need to tighten up their list of problems and priorities that each constituency group has, and then present it to the Council, and then they draft the survey to find out how strongly people feel about these issues. The next meeting is Tuesday, August 1, 1995. MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE MOUND ADVISORY PARK AND OPEN SPACE COMMISSION JULY 13, 1995 Present were: Chair Carolyn Schmidt, Vice Chair Tom Casey, Commissioners Marilyn Byrnes, Peter Meyer, Janis Geffre, and Bill Darling, Council Representative Andrea Ahrens, Parks Director Jim Fackler, Dock Inspector Tom McCaffrey, and Secretary Peggy James. Commissioner Mary Goode was absent and excused. The following persons were also in attendance: Greg Knutson, Phil Klein, Amy Hurd, Lori Marsh, Glenn Hurd, and Thomas Aune. MINUTES MOTION made by Meyer, seconded by Darling to approve the Park and Open Space Commission Minutes of June 8, 1995, as written. Motion carried unanimously. AGENDA CHANGES Chair Schmidt acknowledged a resident in the audience who requested to address the Park Commission about a concern she has at Langdon Park. Schmidt added the discussion item to the agenda as item 10.A. REQUEST TO RELEASE NATURE CONSERVATION AREA LOCATED AT ENCHANTED & HERON LANE, LOT 1, BLOCK 20, SHADYWOOD POINT, PID 13-117-24 11 0064. The Parks Director noted the letter received from the City Attorney and the Park Commission discussed the conclusions. Darling stated that he concluded from the attorney's letter that it would be okay to release the parcel with a conservation easement. Casey questioned why this should be done, and why should the City pay the attorney for more time spent on drafting an easement. Casey suggested that they recommend the status of the parcel not be changed. Casey also noted that an estimate of the costs incurred by the attorney for services rendered relating to this issue was not supplied as requested in a motion by the Park Commission. He feels that the City is mis-allocating their money by spending more time on this issue. Byrnes questioned what use this property has to the City. The Parks Director indicated that this property is utilized for drainage purposes. Geffre referred to a letter from John Cameron dated July 16, 1986 which states that the lot needs to be retained for drainage purposes. Darling stated that it would not make sense for a purchaser to buy this property with an easement on it, because then they would not be able to utilize the land for the value they are trying to get out of it. MOTION made by Casey, seconded by Meyer to recommend that Resolution #93-144 be reaffirmed to retain the parcel for conservation purposes. Byrnes is in favor of the property being sold without an easement. Phil Klein stated that he has not heard any comments from the Commission relating to his letter. It was his opinion, after the last meeting, that the Park Commission was not very familiar with the NCA program. Casey offered to reply to Mr. Klein's letter, item by item. Park and Open Space Commission Minutes July 13, 1995 SITE INVENTORY, a quote from the NCA Plan, "The remaining 30 parcels which were tax forfeited property have undergone prior review by the City. The result of the reviews that were conducted was a determination that these Parcels were of more value to adjoining property owners or other individuals than they were to the City.. . the site may be more appropriate for private ownership. In such cases, the City may consider retaining a conservation easement to protect the land..." Casey replied that the review of the 30 parcels was done prior to the adoption of the NCA plan, and since that time, the City changed its mind and created a resolution in 1992 to retain the property for conservation purposes. NCA DESIGNATION PARAMETERS, "if the potential NCA site is in an area that has significant publicly owned natural areas and unless the vegetation and features of the candidate site are truly unique, the site may be more appropriate for private ownership. In such cases, the City may consider retaining a conservation easement to protect the land." This site is directly across the street from public lakeshore commons. Casey commented that it is his opinion this site is not appropriate for ownership because it is unique, it is needed for drainage purposes, and the size of the adjacent public land is not very large. Every parcel of public space is unique and should be retained. NCA DESIGNATION PARAMETERS, "Such parcels may be more appropriately owned and used by private parties to provide additional buffering from the negative impacts." The negative impacts may in fact be more substantial by the private property owners unless we have a conservation easement that is enforceable, and the political will and money to try and enforce that. We have a problem trying to say that there are negative impacts that will be litigated by conveying that to private land owners. NCA DESIGNATION PARAMETERS, "... it would benefit both the community as well as the property owner to release such a parcel for sale..." Casey thinks it is presumptuous that there is a benefit to the City. He is a member of the Minnesota Land Trust and on the Board of Directors for the West Metro Chapter, and one of the things they want when they get conservation easements is the land to be donated and money allocated for enforcement purposes. So there could be expenses for the both the owner and the City for enforcement and possibly legal fees to resolve issues that may occur. So, money may not be saved by the City by giving the land to a private property owner. Phil Klein noted that the City recently had to remove a fallen tree from the property. The Parks Director confirmed that the cost of removal was probably $250 to $500. Phil Klein stated it is his opinion that the lot would be better off being owned by the adjoining land owner. Park and Open Space Commission Minutes July 13, 1995 Chair Schmidt read Resolution #93-144to the Commission. MOTION carried 4 to 3. Those in favor were: Darling, Casey, Meyer, and Geffre. Those opposed were: Ahrens, Schmidt, and Byrnes. This request will be reviewed by the City Council on July 24, 1995. GREGORY KNUTSON, 4701 ISLAND VIEW DRIVE, DEVON COMMON, DOCK SITE #42077. REQUEST TO REPLACE STAIRWAY. The applicant is requesting approval to replace the existing stairway located on Devon Common used to access his dock. The light located on Devon Common was approved by Resolution #92-13. The light must be shielded according to LMCD regulations. This site also contains an existing retaining wall that is in good condition at this time. Staff recommended the Park Commission recommend approval of a 5 year permit to allow construction of a stairway at Dock Site #42077, subject to the following conditions: This permit includes the existing retaining wall and the applicant shall continue to be responsible for repair and maintenance. 2. This permit includes the light pole with two spot lights, subject to the following: a. A shield shall be installed on the spot lights, as approved by the Parks Director. b. Proof of an electrical inspection be submitted to the City Building Official. The new stairway shall be in compliance with the Building Code as approved by the Building Official. 4. The applicant is responsible for the installation, costs, labor, and maintenance. The stairway shall be completed within one (1) year of City Council approval. If the stairway has not been completed within one year of the date of approval of this permit, the applicant's dock license will not be issued until compliance has been achieved. Knutson confirmed that the stereo speakers, as referred to in a previous resolution, have been removed. Knutson also confirmed that the stairway will be construct in the same location as the existing stairs, and they will be constructed to code. MOTION made by Byrnes, seconded by Darling, to recommend approval of the public land permit to allow reconstruction of a stairway on Devon Common, Dock Site #42.077, as recommended by staff. Casey commented that it is his opinion the these new stairways should not have to be built to code. It is his opinion that these stairways are over-built, over-safe, and they detract from the shoreline, they look like cattle chutes. Ahrens noted that it was the former council that 3 Park and Open Space Commission Minutes July I3, I995 voted in favor of requiring the stairs be constructed to code, and noted that if this was private shoreline, a permit would not be required. Knutson questioned the issue with his light. He stated that the bulbs are frosted, and he has checked with several places and nobody sells shields. His light does not shine into the lake, and it does not stay on all night. The Parks Director stated that he can work with the applicant on this issue, and it is his opinion that if the light is adjusted so it does not shine into the lake it is probably okay. Meyer agreed that the City could ease up on the code requirements for stairways. The Commission determined to place on the next Park and Open Space Commission meeting agenda the discussion of stairways. There was discussion relating to the requirement for an electrical inspection, and Ahrens questioned what the electrical inspector looks at when a light is existing. What is involved in an after-the-fact electrical inspection? Is it really needed? Darling no.ted that the consequences of having hazardous electrical service on the commons should be considered. MOTION carried with 6 in favor and 1 abstention. Those in favor were: Darling, Meyer, Byrnes, Schmidt, Casey, and Geffre. Ahrens abstained. This case will be heard by the City Council on July 24, 1995. The issue of electrical inspections was further discussed. Schmidt questioned the consequences of a dock license not be issued. The Parks Director confirmed that no dock licenses have been denied to-date due to noncompliance of a public land permit. Meyer suggested that the Electrical Inspector attend a meeting or provide an explanation about after-the-fact electrical inspections and inspections on commons property. The Commission agreed and directed staff to follow-through. GENE SMITH, 4705 ISLAND VIEW DRIVE, DEVON COMMON, DOCK SITE #42117. REQUEST TO REPLACE STAIRWAY. The applicant is requesting approval to replace the stairway located on Devon Common used to access their dock. The existing retaining wall received a permit in 1978 and is in good condition. Staff recommended the Park Commission recommend approval of a 5 year permit to allow construction of a stairway at Dock Site #42117,subject to the following conditions: This permit includes the existing retaining wall, and the applicant shall continue to be responsible for repair and maintenance of the retaining wall. The new stairway shall be in compliance with the Building Code as approved by the Building Official. 3. The applicant is responsible for the installation, costs, labor, and maintenance. The stairway shall be completed within one (1) year of City Council approval. If the stairway has not been completed within one year of the date of approval of this permit, the applicant's dock license will not be issued until compliance has been achieved. Park and Open Space Commission Minutes July 13, 1995 MOTION made by Dading, seconded by Geffre, to recommend approval of the public land permit to allow reconstruction of a stairway on Devon Common, Dock Site #42117, as recommended by staff. MOTION carried with 6 in favor and I abstention. Those in favor were: Darling, Meyer, Byrnes, Schmidt, Casey, and Geffre. Ahrens abstained. This request will be reviewed by the City Council on July 24, 1995. CITY OF MOUND, PROPOSED STAIRWAY AT AMHURST LANE, ACCESS TO DEVO,~' COMMON. The City of Mound is proposing to install a new stairway located on Amhurst Lane which is used to provide access to Devon Common. Public stairways that are being installed are constructed according to code. Staff recommended the Park Commission recommend approval of a permit to allow construction of a stairway on Amhurst Lane. The new stairway shall be in compliance with the Building Code as approved by the Building Official. The abutting dock site holders were notified of this request. Ahrens polled the Commission to find out who visited the site. None of the Commissioners, other than Ahrens, visited the site. Photographs were reviewed by the Commission. The Secretary informed the Commission that a phone call was received from Janet Nelson who stated that she is in favor of the stairway because recently she suffered from a stroke and it is difficult for her to walk down the steep hill. Nelson also stated that they have had a dock site there for 20 years and her children often fish from their dock. Glenn Hurd, owner of the property two houses down from the proposed stairway, stated that he never sees anyone fishing from those docks, and he thinks that this is the first year the Nelson's have had a boat on their dock. Mr. Hurd stated that they are opposed to the stairway, they are afraid that nonresidents will use the stairway to access the area for fishing. They also feel that the stairway will be too close to their neighbors house as the access is only 15 feet wide. Darling questioned staff why the stairway was proposed. The Parks Director stated that the elevation is very steep slope and this is an area where there are nonabutting dock sites. He feels it is the City's responsibility to provide for safe access to designated dock sites. The estimated cost of the stairway is $3,150, and it will have a life expectancy of 50 years. Fackler stated that a wooden stairway would cost only $1.00 less per tread, but would only last about 10 years. The number of docks which would utilize the stairway was reviewed. It was determined that there are 4 nonabutting dock sites and 2 abutting dock sites in this area. Tom Aune, who is a nonabutting dock site holders, stated that he does not feel it is worth it to spend that much money on a stairway, he is a healthy person and feels the hill is navigable. Darling noted that there is no representation to support the stairway. MOTION made by Darling, seconded by Ahrens, to recommend to the City Council that the stairway not be installed. 5 Park. and Open Space Commission Minutes July 13, 1995 Ahrens commented that anyone who lives on a steep bank and does not have a fire lane available to them is in a position to have to construct a stairway or find a way at their own expense to get down to the lake, and she believes that anytime the City is going to look at constructing public stairways, particularly in an area where there are three nonabutters, she would like to ask these people to kick in $1,000 for the stairway because this is their access to the lake. The City does not subsidize an abutting property owner to access the lake, and if these stairs are to be paid for from the dock fund, she personally objects to subsidizing anyone elses stairway when all other people have to pay for their stairways out of their own pocket. Casey would like to see some way that this public commons can be enhanced for public use to attract the public there because they are paying taxes within the community too. Ahrens disagreed, she does not believe tax monies are being spent on the commons. Casey argued that citizen tax dollars are helping to pay for the law suits involving the commons. Motion carried unanimously. CITY OF MOUND, PROPOSED STAIRWAY AT BLUEBIRD LANE, ACCESS TO WIOTA COMMON. The City of Mound is proposing to replace the existing timber stairway with a new concrete stairway located on Bluebird Lane which is used to provide access to Wiota Common. Public stairways that are being replaced are constructed to code. Staff recommended the Park Commission recommend approval of a permit to allow construction of a stairway on Bluebird Lane. The new stairway shall be in compliance with the Building Code as approved by the Building Official. The abutting dock site holders were notified of this request. Ahrens polled the Commission to find out who visited the site. None of the Commissioners, other than Ahrens, visited the site, however, three of the Commissioners noted that they are familiar with the site. Photographs were reviewed by the Commission. Ahrens stated that an abutting neighbor, Mr. Hauskins, informed her that the City filled the stairs with gravel this years, and last year Mr. Hauskins replaced some timbers last year. Ahrens agrees that the timbers are rotting. Fackler commented that he also conversed with Mr. Hauskins, and Mr. Hauskins was in favor of getting a new concrete stairway. Ahrens stated that Mr. Hauskins called her today and was told that a former home owner installed that stairway. Fackler confirmed that the City originally installed the stairway. Hauskins also commented to Ahrens that there are about 6 or 7 families on his block that use the stairway, the stairway is in a dedicated area, and he thinks it is unfair that the stairway should be paid for out of the commons dock fund because anyone who does not live in Dreamwood is barred from using that stairway. That commons is only dedicated to the residents in Dreamwood. Park and Open Space Commission Minutes July 13, 1995 Ahren's questioned if the dock fund should pay for a stairway that will only be used by dock holders within the Dreamwood addition. Ahrens also noted that the Judge will be making a decision on the Flack vs. City of Mound case which involves another dedicated commons, and this action may affect the future use of this commons. The Parks Director commented that it has always been their understanting that this area is open for general public use, except for the issuing of dock sites. MOTION made by Ahrens, seconded by Goode, to table this request until after July 18, 1995 when a decision is received on the other dedicated commons currently involved in a legal situation. Ahrens summarized the status of the Flack vs. City of Mound case. MOTION carried 6 to 1. Those in favor were: Ahrens, Meyer, Byrnes, Schmidt, Casey, and Geffre. Darling abstained. REVIEW DOCK LICENSE ORDINANCE SECTION 437 - DOCK REMOVAL REQUIREMENTS. The Dock Inspector reviewed his memorandum that listed the number of docks that were left in the lake during the winter at 158, of which 12 had only one section left in, and 7 had boat lifts. Three people were notified that they needed to remove their docks and the response was excellent. Darling summarized that it appears there are not enough problems to constitute an ordinance change. Ahrens reviewed the history of this issue. She is concerned about what debris ends up in the bottom of the lake. Casey agreed that the lakes should be protected. Schmidt noted that in the area where they have their commons dock, at Avalon Park, if there is an issue of a dilapidated dock it has been promptly cleaned up. MOTION made by Darling, seconded by Byrnes, to move onto the next issue on the agenda. The areas in which docks should be required to be removed during the winter was discussed. The Dock Inspector reminded the Commission of the Dock Map which he had color coded areas where he felt docks should be removed during the winter. It was that private docks are not regulated, so why should commons dock sites be regulated. MOTION carried 4 to 3. Those in favor were: Darling, Byrnes, Schmidt, and Geffre. Those opposed were: Casey, Ahrens, and Meyer. SET PUBLIC HEARING ON 1996 DOCK FEES FOR AUGUST 10, 1995. The Commission approved of the notice to be published. 7 Park and Open Space Commission Minutes July 13, 1995 REVIEW 1996 DOCK APPLICATION FORMS. The forms were approved with the modification of the dates being changed. Meyer requested that an explanation be added to the bottom of the "Information Sheet" explaining why fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides are discouraged. Staff will draft an explanation before the forms are submitted to the City Council for approval. PRQPOSED 1996 PARK IMPROVEMENTS. CAPITAL OUTLAY REQUESTS: Jim Fackler, Parks Director, reviewed the Capital Outlay Requests he submitted to the City Manager, summarized as follows: Parks Swenson Park play structure water fountains at Swenson, Three Points, Philbrook and Mound Bay basketball goals at Philbrook Park depot building: siding and exterior electric computer upgrade Nature Conservation Area improvements gas storage locker for parks maintenance garage skating rink resurface tennis courts at Three Points and Swenson Docks computer upgrade riprap stairway Ahrens commented, "that just because you have this dock fund and you see this balance sitting out there we are going to spend $30,000 on riprapping; this is backwards. What you should do is look for areas that you cannot afford to not riprap. You don't go look for someplace to riprap just to spend the money." The Parks Director explained that they are planning to only top dress areas that have already been riprapped. Ahrens wants to know where this top-dressing is going to be done, because she will not approve the budget unless she can go look at the areas. Fackler explained that this Capital Outlay Request has already been forwarded to the City Manager. Schmidt confirmed that they will see the final budget when it is done. REQUEST FROM JESSICA DARLING REGARDING LANGDON PARK. Chair Schmidt suggested that this was a good time to hear this request. Jessica Darling explained that there is profanity and graffiti painted on the slide at Langdon Park and it is very offensive. She requested the slide be re-painted. The Parks Director commented that he was unaware of this slide, he has seen similar situations in the past and it is difficult to keep-up on these issues. Darling suggested that they include money in the budget to clean-up the parks. Fackler commented that the Parks Department is operating with minimal staff, however, he will address this issue. 8 Park and Open Space Commission Minutes July 13, 1995 Geffre suggested that staff contact the manufacturer of the play structure for information on how this graffiti could be removed. SKATING RINK SURVEY RESULTS: The survey results were reviewed. It was noted that the results from question #1 were inadvertently transposed, therefore, 264 would use a public outdoor recreation skating rink, and 57 would not. Darling noted that since Mound Bay Park appears to be the number one choice, and $5,000 is in the proposed budget, he requested the Parks Director investigate what they can get for $5,000. UPDATE ON COMMONS TASK FORCE. This item was not discussed. DISCUSSION: WINTERFEST. Discussion on this issue was tabled. AROUND MOUND RUN/WALK Chair Schmidt read to the Commission a thank you letter received from Linda and Ernie Strong. Around Mound donated $50 to the Adopt a Green Space Program. MOTION made by Byrnes, seconded by Byrnes to adjourn the Park and Open Space Commission Meeting at 10:05 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. RECEIVED JUL 2 8 7/27/95 To: LMCD Member Cities Fi:om: Gabriel Jabbour, Orono Council Member On July 26 the LMCD held a public hearing regarding their budget. Five of the member cities were represented at the hearing by their mayors or acting mayors, plus two city adminislxators. Enclosed you will find a collection of facts which I hope will assist you in understanding some of our concerns. Please notice the fund balances in the LMCD's annual report on pages 3 and 12, the overall sum has risen despite the LMCD's unrecogxfized loss of $39,274.

I. LMCD is one of many agencies and organizations that collectively 'manage' Lake Mirmetonka. A. Surface Use Management 1. The Hennepin County Sheriff's Water Patrol has a budget for enforcement activity solely on Lake Minnetonka of $458,025. 2. Hennepin County spent $126,897 in 1994 on surface use controls and shoreline management, including buoy placement, channel dredging, rip- rapping, tree removal, and access maintenance. B. Environmental Management 1. Milfoil Harvesting. In 1994 LMCD spent $108,630 on its Eurasian Milfoil harvesting program. A portion of this amount was in the form of grants from other public agencies, including the DNR. In addition, Hennepin Parks contributed the use of a harvester, an in-kind contribution equivalent to 25% of LMCD's 4-harvester operation, or approximately $27,000. 2. DN-R Fish and Wildlife. Although no expense data is available, DNR provides fish testing which provides an undefined value. 3. MCWD The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District provides ongoing contributions via their various watershed enhancement projects: -Gleason Lake stormwater retention basin project, for which MCWD spent $1.72 million, with Wayzata's residents contributing an additional $1.38 million. -Long Lake Improvement Project (currently in the permit approval stage) is estimated at $2.8 million. -Proposed Painters Creek improvement project is expected to cost in the range of $5 million. MCWD's annual expense of monitoring Lake lVfmnetonka levels, administering the Gray's Bay dam, etc. is $30,000. C. Education A number of public and private organizations provide educational opportunities to improve the quality and safety of the Lake Minnetonka boating experience: - Water Patrol's juvenile testing program - Minnetonka Power Squadron's educational programs - Coast Guard's education and certification program - Local marinas offer classes LMCD's Management Plan requires that LMCD establish an education program, which has never been initiated. D. Licensing/Permits/Administrative Functions -LMCD's 1994 total administrative expenditure was $218,483. This the licensing and permitting functions as well as other administrative functions. - As a result of the recent study by LMCD's fee committee and agreement with marina operators, LMCD's license and permit fees have been established at a level that covers the cost of administering those licenses and permits, with only a small surplus. -Most other administrative functions are related to specific projects or activities of the Board or its individual members. Each project or activity may require administrative actions and expenditures (such as hearing notice publication, drafting of ordinances by the attorney, etc.). However, because LMCD has failed to build a consensus of the board before embarking on certain projects, expenditures have on occasion have been wasted when final approval from a majority of the board is not forthcoming. It is imperative that LMCD concentrate its efforts on projects and activities that have the support of the Board rather than on pet projects of individual members. II. LMCD has min/mal need for financial reserves. LMCD is a public corporation that, unlike cities, has a very predictable and stable income and expenses, and therefore a minimal need for reserve funds. -Cities continually operate under a 6-month deficit. For any given fiscal year, the first half taxes are distributed to cities the first week of July midway through the fiscal year, the second half in December near the end of the fiscal year. -Municipal operating costs are spread throughout the year, hence proper financial management includes maintaining the necessary reserves to draw from until the tax distributions occur. -Cities are subject to unpredictable expenses(ranging from infrastructure or equipment breakdowns to cuts in State Aid) which require establishment of sizable reserves. -LMCD receives the majority of its funding early in the fiscal year: -20% of license/permit income in December, prior to start of FY -25% of city levies also paid by beginning of FY -By the end of March, 95% of license/permit income has been received and perhaps 50% of city levies -LMCD's expenditures are minimal during the early part of FY, mainly administrative staff salaries. During the remainder of the year, LMCD has a specifically defined agenda of activity with a long track record of expenditure predictability. As a result, LMCD has a predictable, positive cash flow and therefore only minimal need for reserve funds. III, LMCD funding and levy policy. In the letter that accompanied the drai~ budget, Chairman Johnstone stated that, "Maintenance of the LMCD's present operations in the years 1997 and thereafter will require either greater financial assistance from the cities or securing of alternative revenue sources. We continue to believe that all of the users and beneficiaries of the lake should pay their fair share of the costs of managing it through equitable taxes or user fees. At present, they do not." Deferring the cost of operating the district away from the cities is a goal that we can all get behind. At the same time, our goal should be realistic and objective. To initiate a user fee requires repealing an existing state-wide law(see attached) giving the sole right to do so to the Commissioner of the DNR. One must consider the reception of said idea at the State legislator's level. The majority of the taxpayers which finance the district do not benefit directly and could be argued indirectly from the district activity. Only a portion of the $6.3 billion valuation of the fourteen cities comprise Lake Minnetonka shore owner/users. That value is $1.2 billion, which yields at a maximum $29,000 to the district. Some out state legislators might have a difficult time understanding the Chairman's point of view regarding the excess burden placed on the residential users. IV. Conclusion LMCD, lake cities, taxpayers would be better off'if the district, in the future, redefined its scope of operations within its' enabling legislation and refrained from excessive expenditures which results in an overlap of activities of other agencies and additional costs. LMCD should adopt a policy of levying from the cities and fund-raising from the citizens as-needed. Further, LMCD should get away from maintaining excessive funds in reserve. Save the lake should have one year reserve or fund-raise for a particular expenditure that might exceed a year in fund-raising. ]Eurasian ~lFoil fiand should have three months allocation, Equipment fi.md should have the value of one and one-half harvester(the likelihood of the district replacing four harvesters simultaneously is not likely) and General fund should have four months reserve. The above scenario is based on year-end balances. Gabriel labbour Orono Council Member '~cense o13. issued to operated for dem- ~nduc~ of s~s with- state on sioner.

Absent and excused were: Bill Voss, Lisa Crum, and Jerry Clapsaddle. The following people were also in attendance: Robert Bonnema, Michael Cox, Dudley Bartholow, Mark Saliterman, Sharon McMenamy Cook, and Bob Seeger. MINUTES The Planning Commission Minutes of July 10, 1995 were presented for approval. MOTION made by Mueller, seconded by Surko, to approve the Planning Commission Minutes of July 10, 1995 as written. Motion carried unanimously. CASE 94-44: REQUEST FOR ONE YEAR EXTENSION OF VARIANCE, RESOLUTION//94-44, BY DUDLEY BARTHOLOW, 5926 BEACHWOOD ROAD, PART OF LOT 47, AUD. SUBD. 168, PID 23-117-24 13 0023. The Building Official explained to the Commission that the variance for this property, which was originally requested by Buzz Sycks is due to expire and the lot has not yet been developed. The Resolution and driveway variance have been recorded at the County, as required. Mueller commented that he is not in favor of allowing variances for lots with no street frontage to be developed, however, since this parcel was originally platted in 1927 there is nothing they can do. MOTION made by Weiland, seconded by Mueller to recommend approval of the variance extension for Resolution//94-44. Motion carried unanimously. This request will be heard by the City Council August 8, 1995. CASE 95-19: MARK A. SALITERMAN, 5211 SHORELINE DRIVE, LOTS 7 - 20 & 26 - 35, PID #13-117-24 34 0072. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR DRIVE-IN BANKING FACILITY. PUBLIC HEARING. The Building Official reviewed the City Planners report. Mr. Saliterman is seeking approval of a conditional use permit and the issuance of variances to allow construction of a new free- standing Norwest Bank building in the parking lot area of Shoreline Plaza, next to Hardee's Restaurant. The proposed bank will contain approximately 3,600 square feet and will have a drive-in facility that includes 4 teller lanes and 1 ATM lane. The teller lanes will be accessed from the west, from the existing Shoreline Plaza parking lot and traffic will loop around the building and exit to the west near an existing driveway curb cut along County Road 15. The proposed bank will replace Norwest's present location in downtown Mound. Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 1995 In order to construct the new bank, the City of Mound will need to approve a conditional use permit prompted by the inclusion of the drive-in portion of the subject proposal, and the City will need to address requested variances involving parking space count and space size, sign placement, impervious cover, and distance between drive-in facilities and residential uses. COMMENTS: Staff has met with the applicant and discussed issues and concerns pertaining to grading, drainage and landscaping. Issues pertaining to grading, drainage and landscaping are largely of a technical nature and can be worked out between City staff and the applicant. Issues highlighted by the Building Official within the Planner's included: 1. A drainage plan needs to be submitted for approval by the city engineer. 2. Lighting. 3. Electronic devices. Parking for the entire center needs to be considered. The site plan identifies a total of 176 parking spaces which is approximately 84% of the required parking amount. The present mix of uses in the Shoreline Plaza shopping center can probably be reasonably serviced by 176 parking spaces. Technical Site Modifications as noted in the Planner's report, including expansion of the existing drive aisle that serves as the entrance to the bank's drive-in area, expansion of all concrete median areas around the bank, and parking lot circulation. 6. Impervious surface coverage variance; to increase from 88% to 98% (approximately). Sign variance. In this case, the property has an extended frontage along County Road 15 and adequate space exists to accommodate the proposed Norwest sign in addition to the relocated shopping center sign, however, since the applicant has not provided any further details, it is assumed that the signs will conform to the City's height, area and placement criteria. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of the conditional use permit and variances pertaining to parking, impervious cover, the placement of two freestanding signs along 1 street frontage, and the electronic devices setback for Norwest Bank subject to the conditions listed in the Planner's Report. The applicant shall prepare the following plans for review and approval by the City Engineer and City Planner: A. Modified Site Plan - The plan shall contain a revised layout that depicts the expansion of the bank drive-in entrance aisle, the expansion of the concrete islands and the resulting modification of the new parking lot east of the existing grocery store. Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 1995 Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Plan - The plan shall contain existing and proposed contours depicting all grading and identify all required retaining walls. The plan shall also identify storm sewer modifications and improvements and include a copy of all stormwater calculations. Erosion control measures shall also be included. Landscaping Plan - The plan shall show the installation of landscaped island areas edged by poured-in-place curb and gutter in all parking lot islands shown on the site plan with the exception of the islands on either end of the 4 parking spaces on the west side of the site adjacent to Rite Away Oil Change. Landscaping shall also be shown around the bank building, in the sod island area separating Norwest Bank from the shopping center, and along the existing grass boulevard areas abutting County Road 15 and Wilshire Boulevard. Plant material quantities and sizes shall be in conformance with the standards identified in Section 350:725 of the Mound Zoning Code. D. Lighting Plan - The plan shall conform to Zoning Code Sections 350:775 and 350:730. 2. Grading, drainage and erosion control plans shall be reviewed by the Watershed District. With the exception of the placement variance for the two freestanding signs along one street frontage that is granted herein, all signage shall comply with the Mound Sign Ordinance. 4. Construction of all improvements shall be in conformance with all local, state and federal ordinance and permit requirements. 5. The applicant shall complete and submit the required variance application form including corresponding fees prior to the time that this case is heard by the Mound City Council. o The applicant shall have a qualified land surveyor complete the required impervious cover calculation form and submit it to the City prior to the time that this case is heard by the Mound City Council. DISCUSSION: Mueller expressed a concern about the plans not being done and having the proposal pushed through. Weiland questioned if enough information has been provided. The Building Official commented that it was staff's opinion the proposal could be approved, with the conditions noted. Bob Seeger, Project Manager, explained to the Commission that this bank will have all the amenities of an ordinary bank with the exception of a safety deposit vault. The ATM will be accessible 24 hours per day and it will be located within the first lane of the drive-thru. Mr. Seeger stated that he has been the bank architect for 15 years. Mark Saliterman clarified that Rite Away Oil is located on a separate parcel, so their sign is separate. Mr. Saliterman commented that they are on a tight budget and they did not want to spend $20,000 on plans for a proposal that may not get approved._ This approval is also subject to the approval by Jubilee. Saliterman stated that he has talked with Hardee's. Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 1995 Mueller expressed a concern about stormwater management and questioned why the hardcover should be allowed to be increased. (:::hair Michael opened the public hearing. There being no one present to speak on the issue, Chair Michael closed the public hearing. Mueller expressed his disappointed that the City Planner, Mark Koegler, was not present. Relating to Mueller's concern about stormwater management and the increase in hardcover, the Building Official stressed the fact that this proposal must also gain approval from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Sutherland confirmed that no construction or grading on the property will be allowed to begin until a grading permit is issued and approval from the MCWD is received. Mueller questioned findings of fact and hardship in order to approve this request. The Building Official suggested that the City Planner can draft findings prior to review by the City Council. MOTION made by Mueller, seconded by Weiland, to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit and Variances as recommended by staff to allow construction of a new Norwest Bank building. MOTION carried unanimously. This case will be heard by the City Council at a public hearing on August 8, 1995. CASE 95-30: ST. JOHN'S LUTHERAN CHURCH, 2451 FAIRVlEW LANE, TRACTS 1 -G, RLS 739 & P/BLOCK 2, SHIRLEY HILLS UNIT D, PID 24-117-24 12 0014, 0058 & 0059. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR PARKING LOT EXPANSION. PUBLIC HEARING. Building Official, Jon Sutherland, reviewed the City Planners Report. BACKGROUND: St. John's Lutheran Church is seeking conditional use permit approval to expand parking serving the existing church. The proposal involves the construction of one new parking lot and the expansion of an existing lot. The new construction will actually occur on property owned by Independent School District #277 (Shirley Hills School) and it will be used by both the school and the church. An agreement between the two parties covering the parking area either is in place or soon will be. The expansion of the existing parking lot will occur on church property, southeast of the existing building. The primary issues raised by this proposal are related to engineering including grading and drainage. Engineering issues are being addressed by the City Engineer under a separate report. Planning issues are focused on the issuance of the conditional use permit and the issuance of required variances. Both schools and churches are conditional uses in the residential zones. Accordingly, expansion of the church's parking facilities requires the issuance of a permit. Mound's Zoning Ordinance addresses parking under Section 350:760. That section allows parking serving a principal use to be off-site providing it is controlled either by "deed or long-term lease." In this case, it is staff's understanding that the church will lease the property from the school district and the school will have use of the facility during off-peak church hours. Mound's ordinance also requires all new parking lots to have either concrete or bituminous surfacing and concrete curb. Both proposed parking lots comply with this requirement. Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 1995 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of a conditional use permit for St. John's Church to construct a new parking lot and expand an existing parking lot and hereby approves a parking space width variance of one foot subject to the following conditions: 1. A copy of the lease agreement between the school district and St. John's Church shall be submitted to the City prior to release of the final conditional use permit resolution. 2. The applicant shall submit a landscaping plan for review and approval by City staff. Said plan shall be approved prior to construction. 3. The applicant shall prepare and submit impervious cover calculations for the two lots that contain the proposed parking lot expansion. 4. The project shall comply with all applicable codes and permit requirements. In addition, City Engineer, John Cameron, recommended approval subject to the following conditions: 1. Furnish stormwater calculations for the easterly parking lot which may require revisions to the curb openings and/or erosion control. 2. Connect the concrete curb of the proposed westerly parking lot to the curb radius of the entrances from Maywood Road. 3. The grading, drainage and erosion control plans to be approved by the MCWD. 4. Construction of all improvements shall be in conformance with all local, state and federal ordinance and permit requirements. Representing the applicant were Michael Cox of Wold Architects and Bob Bonnema of the St. John's Building Committee. Mr. Bonnema stated that St. John's is in need of more parking and they have worked out an agreement with the School for this proposal. The agreement will expire in one year if the parking lot is not constructed. Mueller stated that the proposed parking lot is an inappropriate use of wooded land and he questioned the application of Mound's Tree Preservation Policy to this case, the City Planner did not address this section of the Zoning Ordinance. Mueller noted that there is plenty of optional parking available in the area, such as the GTE parking lot across the street. Chair Michael confirmed that staff will ask the City Planner to address this issue. Mr. Bonnema stated that they can try to save some of the trees. Mueller commented that recently a number of large, very nice trees were unnecessarily removed from the church property, and now they want to remove more. Weiland believes that this is a good plan for the church and school to work together on establishing and sharing this parking lot. Weiland suggested that the church could plant some trees to replace some of those which will be removed. Planning Commission Minutes July 24, I995 Surko questioned if other parking alternatives were considered. Michael Cox explained that after a three year study, this is the solution they found. Cox noted that it would be difficult for elders and children to cross an icy street, and this location was the best due to topography. They are planning to provide some landscaping and to plant trees along the boarder of the parking lot. Michael commented that it would be nice to see a landscape plan. Surko feels that the proposed location is good for both the church and school as it is contiguous to both, and it will enable better use by the elders and children. Bonnema stated that the church will be maintaining the parking lot and plan to use a skimmer system in the winter. MOTION made by Surko, seconded by Weiland, to recommend approval of the conditional use permit to allow a parking lot expansion, as recommended by staff. It is also recommended that the City Planner address the Tree Preservation Policy and its relation to this request, prior to hearing by the City Council. Motion carried 5 to 1. Those in favor were: Surko, Weiland, Michael, Glister, and Hanus. Mueller was opposed. Mueller commented that he opposed because there was no landscape plan, the City Planner did not acknowledge the Tree Preservation Policy, and there are no hardships or findings of fact for approval. This case will be heard by the City Council on August 8, 1995. CITY COUNCIL DIRECTION TO DISCUSS STREAMLINING OF VARIANCES There was concern expressed that the City Planner was not present for discussion on this issue. Hanus commented that he believes the City Planner wants the Commission to look at what information has been gathered to-date, and give the City Planner some general direction so that he may propose a sample ordinance change for review at the next workshop. Hanus commented that he raised this issue to the Council, and he found out that this item has been a goal of theirs for some time, and this it was warmly received by all the Council members. Weiland commented that he would much rather see cases go through the variance process than to get a rubber stamp. The Building Official explained that a customer at City Hall today was requesting to build a totally conforming 6' x 10' deck on the front of his house, but because of an existing nonconforming side yard setback, he was told that he needed a variance. This is an example of a case that would be rubber-stamped. Mueller suggested the Planning Commission to discuss the issue before an ordinance is drafted. 6 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 1995 Mueller is in favor of streamlining variances for properties with a nonconforming setback that has been previously recognized by the Council, and if the proposed construction is totally conforming. He would also like to see a cut-off date at which previously approved variances will be accepted. Mueller referred to page 73 of the packet, Letter from Mark Koegler dated June 13, 1995, which states, "An example of such a modification may include allowing construction of additions onto existing conforming homes providing that the existing non- conforming setback is a minimum of 75% of the required setback." Mueller is in favor of addressing nonconforming "setbacks" only. Mueller expressed a concern about dilapidated or hazardous dwellings being allowed to be reconstructed in the same location. For instance, if a nonconforming setback of a structures has been previously recognized, would a house be allowed to be reconstructed in the same location with the same nonconforming setback? Mueller suggested that streamlining not apply to houses with unsafe conditions. On page 63 of the packet, Robbinsdale City Code, Weiland noted that Subdivisions 1 and 6 conflict with each other. The Building Official reviewed the history of two variance cases which he felt could have been streamlined, 1 ) Brubakken - the only nonconformity was the lot width, and 2) Walters - the only nonconformity was a side yard setback (by about 1 foot). Mueller also referred to a recent case (Niccum)in which a nonconforming shed setback has now been recognized, and if he wants to add a deck onto his house in the next year or two he will have to go through the same process again. Sutherland confirmed that Mr. Niccum is planning a larger deck and will have to re-apply for a variance. Mueller noted that Mound's current zoning ordinances also makes it difficult for people to obtain mortgages and insurance. Michael is in favor of Option 1, and is in favor of only allowing streamlining if a nonconformity has been previously recognized. Weiland is in favor to an extent, he does not want to see the Building Official gain administrative authority of granting variances. Surko is in favor of streamlining, and hopes this will give the Planning Commission more opportunity to work on other planning issues. Sutherland noted that in one community, the Planning Commission is the Board of Appeals and variances do not go to the Council unless there is an appeal.. This would shorten the process for both staff and the applicants. The minutes of this meeting will be forwarded to the City Planner for his review, and this issue will be further discussed at the next workshop meeting. Planning Commission Minutes STQRMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN Mueller questioned the status of Mound developing a Stormwater Management Plan. He also questioned if this would be a Planning Commission issue and if they would have input on the plan. It is his opinion that the Planning Commission should be knowledgeable about the Stormwater Managmenet Plan since it is an issue taken into consideration when granting hardcover variances. Staff is to follow-up on this issue. MOTION made by Weiland, seconded by Surko, to adjourn the meeting at 10:35 p.m. Motion carded unanimously. Chair, Geoff Michael Attest: Phillip A. Klein and Thomas Aune August 1, 1995 RECEIVED City Manager, Ed Shukle City of Mound 5341 Maywood Road Mound, 1Vfinnesota 55364 Subject: Releasing proposed NCA:, Lot 1, Block 20, Shadywood Point, PID 13-117-24 11 0064 Dear Ed, We would like to withdraw our request for the City to release the subject lot for an adjoining lot owner's sale. The comments of the City Engineer bring forth a much more valid reason for the City to maintain ownership. I expect you to receive a report from him that will validate your reason to recommend maintaining possession. We do however insist the City take the recommendation of the Park & Open Space Commission and officially classify this lot as a Nature Conservation Area. In doing so we would like the City to remove the "No Dumping" signs, and replace the with wooden signs stating "Nature Conservation Area." Similar in style used by the State & Federal Department of Natural Resources. There is currently two signs in place now, and two of the new signs should be adequate. We would like the City Council to Vote on our newest proposal at the August 22, Council meeting when this subject was to continue. We hope we can have your support' as well as the rest of your staff~ it is our hope this issue can come to a close soon with everyo, ne happy.
